LA 'FOUR DE WM, DECEMBER 12. d• Consternation is in our vallies : we are threatened by the agents of our King with being robbed of the little which had been granted to us by the preceding Governments for the support of our religious worship. 'Pile Court of Turin pretends not to be bound by any convention on this subject, and professes to do in this case as in every other, whatever pleases itself, or ra ther whatever pleases the cabal of Monks which rules under its name. In reality, neither the Treaty of Paris in 1814, nor that lately concluded, makes any mention of the special protection granted by preced ing Treaties, particularly by that of Aix-la-Chapelle, to the Protestants of the vallies of Piedmont, known under the name of Vaudois.—Can England, who formerly acted so generously towards them, have now changed her system with regard to these eldest sons of the Evange.ical Religion, whose aversion La the Roman Church is anterior even to the Reformation of Luther ? Can this population of 30,((X) souls have appeared to the Englih Minister an object too unim portant to employ his attention amidst the political dis memberment of so many nations? We cannot believe it, .for nothing is trifling which involves a great moral prin ciple. However, if at a period when England was far from that preponderance on the Continent which the follies of Napoleon have put info her hands ; it at a neriod in which religious freed im had not yet become a common maxim with all enlightened Governments, the British Administration in former days could ob tain so great a triumph on this subject, over the pre judices of time and place, can any person doubt but that a single word from your Ministers (whom the House of Savoy must regard as its restorers) would have been sufficient to assure, not only to the Vail. dais, but to all the inhabitants of Piedmont, the free exercise of their religion ? Since then, negotiators, supported by so great an influence, did not think proper to insert in the new Treaties the ancient gua rantee to the Protestants of Piedmont, we must sup pose that they could not foresee that the Court of Sardini by declaring every thing null which hap pened during its absence, (that is to say, during six teen years and more,) would, under this general pro claination, rob the Vaudois of all the benefits with which a paternal Administration had endowed their church, and of which the French fiscality had not the hardihood to despoil them. Deprived of this resource, the Protestants of the Alps will be obliged again to call upon the liberality of the English to contribute to the support of their religion but supposing that they should not be disap pointed in their expectations from them, can any Otte compare this humiliating and precarious situation with that public and independent support of their wonhip, and that perfect civil equality which they enjoyed for so many years before the restoration of the aiedini.in King ? How much anguish and uncertainty through Europe might have been put an end to tly a few words from your Ministers, supported as they are on this subject by claims so strong and resources so im mense I 4 Will they who have done so much for Kings, do nothing for the people, especially for that portion of the European people whom the sacred tics of a com mon religion, and the recolsection of similar suffer ings, bind in so close a manner with the nation whom they profess to represent ? We hope, and dare be. fiery, that these great personages partake themselves of the indignation with which we are penetrated, Audi will not disdain to add to that glory, assuring their natural and legitimate rights to those nations whom they have forced to return under the domination of their ancient masters." GERMAN PAPERS. BRUSSELS, DECEMBER w. This morning a solemn Te Dame was chaunted in the church of St. Gudule, to return thanks to Goo for having granted a peace which has been so ardent ly desired for so many years. Al! the public auoo. rities were present at this ceremony. The second corps of troops of Brunswick arrived here this morning. It is affirmed, that several of the mon remarkable persons comprehended in the Ordinance of his Ma. linty the King of France, of July 24, are comin to seek an asylum in the Netherlands ; among whom they talk of Marshal Sault and General Vaudamme. OSTEND, DECEMBER Is. The last storm which we felt here for is hours, and which has done so much damage on the coast of England, where . above 120 vessels have been wreck ed or damaged, has been particularly fatal to a very respectable mercantile house in this town. Two of its vessels, one coming from the East Indies with a rich cargo, the other going from Ostend to Lisb on, accidentally met at sea, and remaine4 at anchor to. gether for some time, waiting till the storm should be over, but they were soon parted by the fury of the winds ; and by a strange fatality, these two vessels perished in sight of each other, without being able to afford each ether any assistance. A part only of the crew of one of them has been saved. FROM THE RHENNISH MERCURY. Pllocl.4P:tifils RESPECTING STATES-GENERAL ) IN THE GRAND DUCHY OF BADEN. It has been formerly noticed in this Journal, how the wishes orthe inhabitants of Baden, to see a Con stitution of States-General introduced among them, have been repulsed; and with what mean timidity the agents of the Goiernment, from the consciousneu of a bad cause, have endeavoured to put down the movement by measures of Polico, and by secret pro- mises and threats. means of tem" of the most respottable of their hocly, amqng wham were Colonel Zyllenhard and Baron Gemmingham, they resolved to transmit a represen tation, setting forth the necessities of the country, and praying the convocation of the States. The Depu cation went, was well received, and had the promiie of a speedy introduction of a representative C')usti- _ tation. It was natural, as all these proceedings were licly known, that the third estate should also feel a wish to express their opinions at such a conjuncture, and particularly that they might have legitimate means of becoming acquainted with the necessity of those taxes which pressed with most severity lips: them. With this v;ew, some of the most respectable inhabitants of Heidelberg were commissioned by a .number of their fellow citizens to wait upcn the Counsellor of Justice, Martin, Professor of Laws in the University there, to request of him advice, and to point out how they might act in the most legal manner on such an occasion. The Professor, like a =dente peaceable man, re marked, that such a petition ought not to proceed from a few citizens. but from a maknity of them; also, that the description of the situ 'firm and wants of the country was not proper for such an address, " but that it should rather be the work of the f Inure as sembly of the States—and, therefore, that it was ad visable to confine the petition to a prayer for the con vocation of such States. He then engaged to draw up the sketch of an address in , this spirit, which might be submitted to the approbation of the trojn. rity of an assembly legally called together. The apilicants were all agreed opqn this point, upon which the Professor drew up an address to the fol. lowing effect : It bet forth the necessity of convoking an assembly of the States, who might truly and faithfully describe the various evils under which the country laboured. It reminded the Sovereign that this was the course which, in similar situations, had actually been pur sued by the Hanoverian, Hesse-Cassel, Wurtemberg. and Nassau Governments; and that his Royal High- ness had himself declared to the Congress at Vienna, ' his intenion of introducing a representative constitu tion into his States. Foully, it set forth, that the act of Confederation for Germany, of the tith Jure, ex pressly stipulated, that in all the States of the Con federation a representative constitotion should he es tablished. It was agreed, that a potiion this effect should be signed, and that every other town or com mune that chose to adhere to it, sheeld chose two persona for the purpose of forwarding objects. PARIS. I have lately been in the Museum. The packing up is finished. and it begins to 10.-k a 'Ale ()racily there. Of the 1500 pictures 250 remain, nio.tly of the French school. Of the statues. about the hall are there ; namely, those of the liorgliese gallery ; then, what was in the Royal Palaces, and, as it seems, some things from Rome, as fur example, die fine She Wolf, the Hermaphrodite, one of the red ch.irs on which the Pope sat, &c. It is mice:tam wh4l:ce these remain here. In the last public sitting of the Institute, :hey nude a terrible lamentation over these sad events. Mr. Lebreton, perpetual Secretary of the Class ef the fine Arts, said. 66 OM; losses are irreparable. It is for history to decide on the justice or injustice w:lich has caused them, and to judge of the forms wt:ich have accompanied them." After this little elpectoration, he assumed the tone of virtue and even of pi i.!e— -" History will not say that our nation, which had en. riched itself with these master-pieces. shewed itself unworthy to possess them. Let us at least ennoble our misfortunes by the persuasion that it was not me rited." Then he chewed how they had always been goodnatured and pious ; how they at first took merely the statues and pictures ceded by the Treaty of To lentino, though it would have beet; so easy to take all the rest. Besides, they had given the Soveici A ns time to have them copied—" a nob', wad delicate at tention which has not been shewn us, who had set the example of it." That is just what vexes then, that they could not gat time to copy them. • With their copying, they would have finished on the same day as Procus, who is making the brazen trumpets for tie day of judg ment, of which Lichtenberg says, some were bespoke of him thirty years ago. They could copy Oh pil lars of Aix-la-Chapelle, but the innocents iii this case preferred the originals. Then he described how Commissioners, estimable men, had been sent to Rome to direct the removal of these treasures, which took a whole year—how they came to Paris—bow a great Vaudeville de Paris was given at the Champ de Mars, at which the Authorip ties, &c. attended 4! to celebrate this apotheosis."—' 61 What," says he, 66 could Athens have done more in the time of Pericles e l Then came a period in which he touched upon us a little. 66 Before Victory abused the right of the strongest, which it always does in the end," and then another aimed at the Noble Lord, who latelysaid • it was good that the French had received a moral les son which might ease them of their inclination to steal the works of art. 64 It was not from them that it was proper to take the text to give us harsh les sons," and every body applauded, and was con vinced with the orator, that great injustice had been d anno ists r, hoids ne In etd,ihn Lad i es . tu uitthem.produced thteheewde as s b epthc er before we therst act numerous or the p Parisian performed Gentlemen byt h e szneydscwaaercrtwe, were r h i es e t rs w il e o uw r t k en s d , o a : E nt t as h y e md F upli r yl e o n np c yr h api s e a 4 r dy t ed, c ate nextfi ve o'clock day ' cl o ck A the P I was Papers pe finili n sed. d that the incs of advisedthe Museum t otrace w a was h g e r e p a a t, i n t n u g t o n t ot , ()i i l r e rp depairi;i.leli.o and 't t liey te n have ta t eo h l, lg e eaers o t hy u t ehw t l re i o, n e yuwcl s hdo fil iuclihlt could hang up by ywheearnmegannaoyl wl advantagesle t dis t ri b utedhr e French artist. tinaisnb v e T f s the o n p e h l d w a e o i g n of l sever t a a l galleries.
