(From the Algemeine Ilettsse.) LOWER RHINE, NOVEMBER s. Persons who ought to be well informed assert s that in the ministerial conferences at Aix-la-Chapelle, the restriction of the freedom of the press on the Conti nent, became, at least incidentally, the subject of consideration ; that Lord Castlereagh dropped some words in favour of that restriction; that the Duke of Richelieu was, however, of opinion that it would be difficult to adopt any general rule, as time and Mace were chiefly to be regarded in this object of intetoil police ; and, finally, that verbal resolutions were propounded for placing the journals and gpoli tical • works under superintendence, and for rigo rously puaishing the offences of the picis, when they occur, by deterring examples. We hope that the good intention which may form the basis of such propositions ari these will mislead no one. R is easy to perceive that some political writers have been wrong ; but error and danger ought not to be confounded. The Students who went to the Wartburg acted very foolishly ; but the farce they performed was attended with no other danget except that of some persons tendering themselves very ridiculous by their alarm on the subject. We are, in like manner, equally unable to perceive, in all' the improprieties, follies, and blenders of certain po litical writers, any tendency to disturb the order of civilized society. If, however, on the pretence of the danger of opposition, a timid anxiety is any, Where manifested for employing every force to sup press it, we must be allowed to wish that that anxiety may soon yield to better information. A man who was distinguished as the decided enemy of revolu tions, the excellent Burke, expresses himself on the subject of opposition, in a way which even at the present moment deserves the serious attention of all Statesmen—CHere follows an extract from Burke, on the advantages of opposition.) an expectation, however, in which we need not add Abe people of Paris have been as much disappointed as ourselves. The Moniteur concludes its notice as follows : " If it (theintercepted correspondence) had ' a projected escape, that project wouM 'rated by the seizure of. the corres• fact results.from the private letters MusqUito, that there had not bees 'qencement of the saeoitioa of the least attempt made, sine* known at St. Helena previous to the correspondence. These letters do , new precaution having been adopted for the security of the prisoner, and they all say things remained in the same state at Longwood." The appeal, ili the Ladies Sr. Monts and GODS• CHART ,apint . tColonel DCPAY in. the celebrated action of calumny pending between the parties, came l on to be heard - before the Correctional Chamber of e itoyal Ccurt. on Friday. Madame Sr. Moan was assisted by M. Contuse as her Counsel, but for the sail: of greater efict, we presume,- chose to plead . )ser•cnvn cause. She commenced her 'Address in th ei following terms: . " In presenting ourselves before you, we de not dissembk that our situation is painful; We‘are :mare also of the advantage which our enemies may draw front it against us ; but we haves to fulfil . a sacred duty, and we come before the Court to offer a last homage to the memory of a father and a husband. Our hatred against Colonel Barbier Dufay is just and legitimate ; but to be avenged of him we have not employed the hand of an assassin. More honourable meana•esist of obtaining the repara tion which is so justly due to us." After this exordium, Madame Sr. Moats entered length into the merits of the charge of calumny against her and her daughter, and endeavoured to shoi that the epithets of monster," " assassin," and " man of blood," which they had applied to Co lonel DI72:AY A could not constitute a calumny, in as much as they were but a qualification of true facts which were imputed to him. " Desides t tadded she, " these qualifications and some others we Ifs siiiiirto justify. fibs net a man of blood who Is stained with the blood of his Ithed-wwir prepares the frightful deposi. doss fors mortal combat May that mu not *.): called a men if Maxi ender Me owreati" who at that epoch enjoyed the re- , potation of patriotic bravory and cauragos-whe established his deism in 17 . 03 (and we know what &ism was at that period)— who boasted of it as an honour that he had put a Chief of the Vendeans to dUath ? "We have called Colonel Way a-spy and an informer. I aihrm upon my honour, that I have frequently seen the Colonel at the Minstry of Police, with papers under his arms. I have remarked hint often following me, and watching my steps; and several persons have assured me. that when my husband was arrested in the year 1814, it was on the denunciation of Colonel Disfay.—rln order to justify the linpatadon against out ad. versary of having been a perjured rebel to- Louis XVIII. it is sullicient to read the :finitely. of the 11th of April, IBIS, where he is signalized as one of those who favoured at Rochelle, the public expression of devotion to the country and to the Emperor." Madame ST. :gm:vs read here with much emo. tion, a touching apostrophe to the memory of her husband ; her voice almost failed her when she came to speak of his last adieus. On recovering herself; she proceeded in her or4inary accent to recount the services and loyal conduct of her son, Count S; Moays: " Such a man," she exclaimed, " could never consent to pro long his life by an act of cowardice. What does it import to live some years more, Compared with living with honour and dying as we have lived." Madame Sr. Moats here proceeded to retrace in detail all that preceded the fatal duel, in order to es tablish two important circumstances: I. That Count St. Morys bad never eluded giving satisfaction to his adversary; but, on eke contrary, bad sought to obtain-Ic, sonceiving himself to be Insulted by the injurious letter which Colonel Dufay had printed and distributed. . _ 2. 'That tke latter, in spite of the opposition of several supe rior Mews. bad persisted is Anion a atode of Combat unknown among French military Men. " Itiw ka fife of our grief," said die, " we have taken ears to keep witida as bounds of a jam moderation; and we bay* ealamniated C•ionsfljUlPAY no otherwise than by main facts as they have °centred, or painting them in the odours which' Wises to diem "It is sow and for seer," she concluded, " that we would t erm inate the cash which we invs imposed in ourselves. We supplicate the Coon to dispense with oar presence during the sequel of the discussions. It weld be impossible for us to listen of new to thow painful details which the defender of Coinsel D9741T snap be pleased to glis of tbs last moments of the Count se. Noon. We trust, wish esolkleisee, to the wisdom of tile Court; but, if it believes as salty of having fulfilled &sacred Itoty, we shall prefer all the riper of the law to any sort of com promise between us and our adversary." The address, the readingof which Occupied more than en hour and a half, was delivered, we are told, with an animated, and often pathetic tone of voice. Madame ST. MORT/ another daughter, immediately M. ODILLON BARIOL, the advocate of M. Roman, 'entered into a long and able argument, in which he endeavoured to shew, on the authority of the prin ciples consecrated by the Constituent Assembly, as well as by the Concordat of 1811, by the existing Penal Code and by the Charter of Louis, that an exemption from all such penalties , was clearly esta blished in favour of persons not professing the Ca-' tholic Religion, and that the Tribunal of Gap had committed a grois excess of power in initictir.g a punishment not satthoyfsed by the laws. The Advocate-General, M. GRAND DUPLRSSIS, followed on the 'part of the Crown ; and, our Reader. will be glad to learn, conceded, in the most unquali fied manner, in the arguments which had been ad- 1 duced by the complainant's Counsel for the repeal of the judgment of the Tribunal of Gap. The Court, after a long deliberation, pronounced a judgment said to be most " strongly worded," by which it annulled the judgment complained of, and decided that the Municipal Authorities have no right to make a rule for constraining citizens to cover the fronts of their houses on occasions of religious cere monies. M. MA Rom, and other members of the Reformed Church of Paris, were among the auditory present at 'the hearing of this important cause, thus su equitably and satisfactorily decided. Five per Cents, Friday, 69 fr. 50 c. We have seen (says the Irish Southern Reporter), some very interesting letters, dated the 19th of Sep tember, from Longwood,, St. Helena, from which, however, we are not permitted to extract as largely as we would wish. After the removal of Surgeon O'MEARA from the medical superintendance of NA POLEON, and the refusal of the latter to admit Doc tor BAXTER to fill that situation, Doctor VERLINO, of the Royal Artillery, was appointed to it, and eras, at the date of the letters from whence we derive oSe information, residing at Longwood. Doctor Vita= LING is brother of Mr. B. VERLINO, of Cove. He is a Gentleman of considerable literary and profes sional talent, and well calculated to fill so delicate and arduous a situation ; he went out in the NORTH UMBERLAND with BONAPARTE, and has ever since been stationed at St. Helena with his corps. According to recent accounts from Lisbon, the mercantile interest there have been in a state of anxiety for some time past, on account of a dispute pending between one of their body and a Custom-house Offi cer, called the Dispatcher of Goods. The merchant in question had always made the Treaty of 1812, Article 16, the rule for his government in the entry of goods. This Officer, whose cupidity appears to have been excited by the contents of a particular in voice, suddenly announced the existence of some other code of regulations, whose existence had never before been heard of, and, by virtue of that instru ment, seized some shawls at the prices entered (the true and sworn invoice price), and carried them home. The merchant, under the impression that this pro ceeding could not be legal, has caused a statement to be laid before the Portuguese Government, through the medium of the British ConsuL The affair had excited an uncommon degree of interest in itself, on' account of the highly respectable character of the merchant concerned, and, added to the important con sequences involved in it, caul NI the decision of the Por tuguese Government to be expected with Impatience. The private letters from Amsterdam, received yes terday by the Dutch mail, represent the monied market of that city to be in a state of singular depression and embarrassment. On Thurglay last, so great a fall took place that several of the jobbers became unable to fulfil their obligations, and were declared defaul ters : every species of stock suffered, but the foreign securities appear to have declined in a greater proporY tion than any others. Prussian bonds are quoted, in Thursday's fig, at 71, and Austrian stock was as low as 54, having undergone the extraordinary depres sion of 16 per cent. in the course of a few days. On Friday morning the market, so far from sheaving any signs of improvement, was evidently in a still more gloomy state than on Thursday, and would undoubt edly -have suffered a further - depreciation, had not some of the leading capitalists at Amsterdam afforded their support, by coming , forward and voluntarily engaging to sell no stock at any price.
