The King has addressed the follewmg letter to the Bishops and Archbishops of France, on occasion of the deplorable anniversary of Jan. 21 :••• 44 My Cousin—We approach the melancholy anni versary henceforth consecrated, at the same time, to the memory of King Louis XVI. and to that of Queen Mary Antoinette. Our only consolation under the re collections which this day recalls is to see the public ' ) grief mingle with our own, and France in mourning, implore with us the GOD of Mercy for the two august •ictims, the objects of our eternal regret. We write this letter, therefore, to signify to you, that on the 21st of January next, solemn service is to be performed with this intention, in all the churches of your diocese. You will, according to custom, invite the civil and tary authorities to attend. No discourse or funeral i oration is to be pronounced, only the testament of the, Royal Martyr shall be read from the pulpit, in which he has left the affecting expressions of his last will and his last adieus. The present letter having no other ob ject, I pray to GOD to have you, my Cousin, in his holy keeping. " Written at Parid, Jan. 7, 1828. . . , (Signed) " CHARLES. " Denis, Bishop of Htrnsopolis. ' The Hamburgh Correspondent contains the following article from the banks of the Dwina, Dec. 26 : We see the energetic measures preparing which the Powers are going to employ by land against Turkey. The execution will probably be intrusted to Russia. What power is better calculated for this, than that which its position, its interest, and the attitude it has already assumed, render so proper for it ? The preceding conduct of Russia during the course of her victories in the midst of the laurels which strewed the route she had to follow, is a pledge of her modera tion. Alexander appeared to have taken for his motto the inscription of a medal, " The world is not suffi cient, and I have no need of it." TheEmperorNicholas is the heir of this moderation. The contemporaries acknowledge it, and posterity will appreciate the man ner in which Russia has acted in negotiating for years. In keeping armies on font at an immense expense, to require the fulfilment of treaties, or to hinder the peace, scarcely established, from being sacrificed to the pas sions, when it has drawn the sword—when it has van quished—it was because it was obliged to do so. Russia desires peace, like every other Power; %mit there is, besides, a moderation and a patience which in the end must gain the esteem even of indifference. He alone who chooses to be blinded, in spite of evidence, can impute to Russia projects of aggrandizement. It has no need of any aggrandizement; but no person will require it to make sacrifices without indemnity— to suffer aggressions without repelling them in a suit able manner—to support continual struggles without securing its frontiers, in order to be able, if not to pre vent hostilities commenced by levity and presumption, at least to render them more difficult. It is thus that the Imperial Court of Russia will exe cute with calmness what justice, honour, humanity, peace, and security require. The history of the Go vernment of the Emperor Nicholas is a proof of the value which he auaches to these advantages. He will know how to protect and maintain Ahem, abroad as well as at home. FROM THE JOURNAL DES DERAT3 OP SUNDAY. MADRID, JANUARY 10. PRIVATE LETTER. The battalion of Chasseurs of the Guard, which in terfered to check a disturbance caused by a party of Royalist volunteers, has fallen into disgrace, and will be removed in the course of the ensuing week; and the former having been set at liberty without punishment. All the letters from Barcelona agree, that M. Cabo marde intends to retire. The Corregidor of Madrid has considered the Opera of Othello immoral, and therefore forbidden its per formance at any of the theatres. PARIS, JANUARY 20. The declaration of principles by the Moniteur, i$ nothing but the often repeated declaration of M.Villelt. There are, in the new Ministry, two Ministers, formerly colleagues of the late President of the Council; two othets, who had importarcplaces under his Adminis tration, and who have sorted and defended all his laws. These four Members of the new Council have necessarily thrill share of the responsibility of the law on the 3 per cents. on sacrilege, the 1 - 811101)S law of love and justice, and the other measures of that - Ministry. We see with great pain, that the Ministry intends to open the Session as it is at present organized. Let it reflect well on itself, on France, and the Crown. FROM THE CONSTIITTIONNEL. LISBON, JAN. 5. EXTRACT OF A PILIVATE LETTER. The election of Deputies in Fiance has produced considerable effect in Portugal, and seems to exercise considerable influence over the Deputies of this country; fur it is now supposed that constitutional ideas may find a new point of support that will be imposing, from resting in the midst of a great people at the head of European civilization. The list of candidates has been examined here with considerable interest and anxiety. LISBON PAPERS. FROM THE 2MPARCIAL OF OPORTO, OF JANUARY 8. AMERICA.—This part of the world occupies, at pre. sent, the attention of all politicians—being the country of gold, silver, and diamonds, which poured these me tals in such profusion into the lap of Europe, raked some nations and depressed others. All the new States are overburdened with an enormous foreign debt, and their finances are in the greatest disorder ; but, to com plete their misery, there is not a single one but what is distracted by internal consmolions and civil wars. This arises from the circumstance of none of them having previously possessed sufficient strength for constituting itself an independent State, according to the statements of their defenders and apologists. The new Republics of Spanish America, present us a melancholy picture. This is the situation of these countries, which, a few years ago, even in the oppressed state of Colonies, were rich and flourishing. The state o f Jalisco (Guadalaxara) impolitically promulgated a law lately enacting the expulsion of all ostise Spa. niards—the .same thing that had been formerly prac tised at Buenos Ayres, and in other Republics. Ww is it possible for them to prosper upder such injurious measures ? If there be any Spaniards, whether na turalised or not, who disturb the State, let the rigour of the law be **forced, but never publish so barbarous and impolitic a law. Brazils has likewise coati in for her share of misfor tunes, as well as the other States of America. Having since 1821 contracted a foreign debt of forty millions of cruzsdos, and one of a similar amount with its own subjects, all its gold and silver disappeared from circn lation. It experienced civil wars, and if Don Pedro IV. was not the Emperor of that country, it would, by now, be already dismembered into small strips, torn by in ternal commotions, and a prey to foreign countries. This ought to be considered by all Brazilians, who should know how much they are indebted to the mag nanimous Sovereign whom the put at the head of their affairs. We unfortunately see, likewise, that the 'lofted States of North America, who seem to be the' most tranquil and robust, are at present likewise threatened with the evils and calamities of their neighbours. All the Jour nals of that country seem to be very apprehensive that on Jackson becoming President, this military man may attempt some change of Government, and commence some war or other, for the purpose of giving employ. meet to his active friends. They complain that the American youth are now solely addicted to martial exercises, this being the predominant passion, and that they forsake for this their peaceable occupations of agriculture and commerce, and all those branches of industry that constituted their prosperity. The French Generals and soldiers who lately emi grated into that country, have undoubtedly inspired the Americans with these warlike sentiments, which may shortly become the cause and occasion of their forfeit. ing their liberty, as it happened to the Romans under Caw, and to the French under Napoleon. CANADA. MONTREAL, Dir.. 15. • PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. As you require, I will give you. as well as I am enabled, the opinions which, as " a leoker•ox," I have formed of the disputes in this Colony. As to what is said in the London Papers of our political dif ficulties, and the changes of our Governor, it seems to me that the former are misunderstood, because they are certainly most grossly misrepresented in most of your periodical publications, as well as daily papers. We have only one real ground of difference; most improperly stated, as between the Governor personally and the Lower House; but, in fact, between the latter and his Majesty's Government, whose instructions the Governor must follow. Jt is almost needless to tell you, that the Lower House claims the controul over every sixpence of the public revenue, and refuses to vote the payments of the salary of any Officer of Go vernment of whatever description, for more than one year. Under this pretension they arrogate to theussels es the right of fixing each Officer's salary, by voting for him no more than they think proper; and by thus giving or withholding their allowance, maintain a controul over every appointment in the Province.— The Governcr, Judges, and the Officers in every de partment, would be at their mercy ; and how they would use it in the case of resistance to their measures. it is not difficult to predict. On the other hand, Government most justly say, that by the law of 14 Geo. 111. (coofirmed by subs quent laws, as will be seen by those of his present Majesty; in 1822 and 1825, called the Trade Acts), certain duties levied under that Act are, by that very law appropriated " for the defraying of the charges of the Administration of Jus tice, and support of the Civil Government of the Pro. vince;" that being so appropriated, the House has no controul over it, further than that an account should be rendered annually to the Legislature of the application of its proceeds. This has been always done, as appears by the Journals of the House. .These duties at present amount to about 30,0001. per annum; and the charges of the two departments they are destined to pay exceed that sum about 5,0001. per year. But as the consump. Lion of the taxed commodities must, from our growing population, increase, and in a few years' equal the claims of the departments to be provided for, Government will thereby become independent of the Lower House for all but local expen Jitures, and if these are not voted, the country only will suffer. So long as this law exists (and that it does exist the laying the duties imposed by it is sufficient evidence) the Crown has an undoubted right to the appropriation of its proceeds; and if they give it up without area sortable substitute, they will be prostrate at the feet of the House of Assembly, will lose the influence consti tutionally vested in the Crown, and will retain no other privilege than that of paying for the preservation of the country from foreign aggression. It is undeniable that the prejudices of the Canadian representatives will always actuate them to preserve French laws and customs, and keep this, the lower one, 4 Ftench province ; and nothing but the unlimited con trout over the public revenue will enable them to effect it. If that point is conceded, the rest will easily follow. They have refused to vote the Civil List constitutionally, and will strain every nerve to be masters of the Revenue. It seems to me, that if the House has a sincere desire to remove existing differences, it can easily be done, by agreeing to vote a fair and moderate Civil List for the King's life, as in England; on which condition all the Revenues of the Province, including those levied under 14 George 111. should be placed under their appropria tion. This would be the surrender of a certain perma nent Revenue by the Crown for the sake of restoring harmony to the Province; it would give a proper cheek to lavish or useless expenditure; but at the same time would relieve the Governn.ent from what, in their own "view of the case, would approach ;o nearly, if not all our Civil Lists. There could be no reasonable objection to the continuance of the granting the Civil List on every new reign, with fresh additions, as the state of the country may require. If something of this kind is not adopted, it will be of no use to change Governors under the hope of pleasing the Canadian Members, for they will not be pleased. As regards Earl Dalhousie, he is universally esteemed by those who judge of him candidly. He can have no object but the welfare of the Province, and cannot be charged with applying the revenue to his own, or any other improper use. But his instructions he must foU low ; and to delude the Canadian., a few leading cha.
