THE STOCKPORT atm MANCHESTER OPERATIVES THE SOCIETY for ENCOURAGEMENT of IN DUSTRY, and REDUCTION of POOR RATES, pre sumes that all who consider the causes of Distress, now become so general, are convinced that the Nation, throughout all its ramifi cations, is now suffering from the neglected condition of the lower classes, and our Trade is destroyed by the inability of our indus trious Fellow Subjects to consume what is requisite for their own comfort and the common interest. Is the protection afforded to others withheld from them? and are our manufacturing and la bouring population yearly receiving less by one hundred millions than the due reward of their labours ? and do we at length per ceive thit the retributive justice of GOD is thus visiting the wrongs of our brethren, and that our shopkeepers and dealers, merchants and traders, thus shorn of their means of existence and enjoyment, are summoned to reflection and to action. Be it, then, our imme diate occupation to remedy a state of things daily increasing in in tensity, and fast hastening to the most frightful dls'rder. Let pe titions be prepared for Pargament, praying that a minima pro tection be granted to the wages of labour, and that such should in governed by the price of wheat : tin then we recommend to the Manchester and Stockport Operatives, and all other Trades, to agree among each other ; that the minims or lowest price of labour should be the value of two bushels of wheat a week, for their daily labour of ten hours a day ; thus, without fixing the rate of wages, it would be prevented from going down to a starving point ; and, by limiting the hours of labour, an excess of accumulation of goods in the market, which has proved so eminently ruinous, would be restrained. We have already recommended to workmen, in lieu of their pre sent mode of spending the money allowed them at a strike, in inactivity and want, that they should purchase raw materials, and manufacture and sell for themselves, which the law entiles them to do without a license, and so proceed in this manner (part of the profits being divided with the party advancing the original outlay), till, at least, they are able to maintain the minims price of their labour. The Society has no need to call the public attention of the alarming state of Poor Rates. nor that the protection of our agri cultural labourers by a minimum would arrest their desolating pro- gress ; while at the same time proving a more effective remedy for poaching than the threatened steel-trap and spring-pen, or the other reproachful and disgusting mechanism of the Game Laws.

The Journal du Commerce was seized yesterday at the Post Office for an article which wu repeated word for word In the Ministerial Journal of the evening, which has aleo been seized. To-day the Journal des Davis, the Courier Francais. the Figaro, and the Consiittaionuel, which inserted the same article, either en tirely or in part, have likewise been seized, and stopped at the Post Oflke. A Commissary of Police who came to our Mice seized the only copy we had left, though it was observed to him that this copy was necessary to us for our defence. Our readers may br• assured that this seizure will not for a moment relax our zeal in the defence of the Constitutional Throne, and the public liberties. The morning edition of the Casette, which was put into the post at two o'clock, contain, the notice that the Coreautotioneol, Debate. and Courier had been seized. Now this seizure did not take place till five o'clock in the afternoon. How was the Gazette in formed of it before-hand? The Gazette of yesterday morning was seized. The number di,. tributed in Paris in the evening contained the same article which was the ground of the seizure. From the Gazette de France. PARIS, Sin. 12. The Journal du Commerce of this morning says—" We learn this evening that the Journal du Commerce has been seized to-day at the Post-office. This measure is explained to us by a denunciation of the Gazette de Ranee, drawn up in the style of an indictment. On the announcement of a subscription opened in the Fore Depart ments of Bretagne, for the purpose of indemnifying the subscribers in case they should be prosecuted in consequence of the introduc tion of an illegal taz, the Gazette, which had published the adver. tisement of this subscription to poison it by its perfidious commen taries, has, we hear, been itself seized at the Post-office." The fact is true, but we think the Attorney General has made a mistake on this occasion ; for, if we cannot quote the bad articles of the reiolutionary journals, how can we confute them, or even combat them? The task of a journal, the defender of order, could not possibly be performed. The Casette has done what his Majes ty's Attorney General himself will do In his proceedings against the Arrival du Commerce. Vitus*, Sept. 4. bletalliqoes 100 1-16th—Bank Shares 1162/.

When a Ministry is composed of such men as style themselves exclusively as Royalists, it may be taken for granted that such Ministry is anti-national. This misfortune has been twice expe rienced since the Restoration, and our humiliation in the eyes of foreign countries soon followed. We have seen the Vilkle Admi nistration wage a war ruinous to France, declaring that they were not at liberty to remain at peace, but that the injunctions from the North had driven them to the Southward. Shortly afterwards we heard an English Minister declare in the face of Europe, that France bad, un that occasion, been the dupe of English policy.— Thus, under Villeel's Ministry, we were afraid of Russia and the dupes of England. There is a tendency in the persons calling themselves Royalists, to march under the English standard, and to humble themselves before the Cabinet of London; and how can this be otherwise? Is it not in the very nature and habits of these meet? Front the moment they saw France telly bent upon a regeneration, they felt that being enemies of such regeneration, they were like wise the enemies of France, and that their own weakness com pelled them to seek elsewhere for strength. From that time their real country was wherever France had enemies, and in England more than in any other place. hence that invincible sympathy for foreign Influence, and that disposition to debase them selves before that power, from which they were in the habit of suing for assistance like beggars. Can there be, in fact, a single spark of national feeling amongst men who have ever made their foreign influence participate in every thing they did? Wars, con spiracies, diplomatical intrigues—they never could undertake any thing alone ; hut, being condemned to this humilitating inferiority, they, in turn, condemn France to the same, and overwhelm her with the ►coin of all Europe. This is the first advantage which the new Ministry brings with it by way of a portion ; even betore they have done us any harm at home, they have already brought down upon us insults front abroad. As soon as they were in power they became :he English Journals and Russian Cabinet. Hitherto the Duke of Wellington did not pass for a clever Statesman; but it must be allowed that if it was his aim to paralyse and enchain France at the moment when she could find Sr. opportunity of repairing a little her disasters, and of resuming her station in Europe, be has succeeded beyond all hope by continuing the ptesent Administration, and making the party triumph which it represents. Perhaps he was tint aware that under this odious Administration France would not afford any assistance of the least consequence to England, but he knew that the interests of France would be subordinate to that of England, and that suf ficed to him. What a fatality is attached to the party which now directs our Cabinet. It neglected nothing as long as England was strong and glorious to render her inimical to us, and it now ties us to her chariot-wheels when her helplessness becomes every where mani feat. These are the times when we, at our cost, tackle ourselves to her weakness. No doubt England has still some Rippancy in her language ; she still says, " The first maritime power in the world ought always to be the strongest party wherever any naval transactions are likely to take place." However, in the mean while, the Russian armies approach the walls of Constantinople, her ships blockade the Dardanelles—still England stirs nut. These boastful words are the more ridiculous as they are belied by tarts. If England was still what she had been formerly, the English fl kg would lung ago have waved in the Dardanelles, and a coalition would have king ago been privately organised against Russia, nor would the first threats have issued from St. Petersburgh. The capture of Adrianople was a singular Goo-send to our English Administration mi its entering into lace ; and mark ! that the Russian Manifesto, which has been given from the Augsburg Gossett, was launched nut before this decisive success, which, un questionably, will not lessen the assurance of the Czar. Be this as It may, the great events passing at this moment at the extremity of Europe will soon reverberate in the heart of this part of the world, and cannot fail to have on the destinies of aver, people an influ ence proportionate to their importance. The l'olignac Adminis tration, by causing us to be taken in tow by England, who can hardly drag herself along, would at all times have proved a great fatality to us. but is an infinitely greater one during the present position of Europe. From the Journal du Commerce. It will be recollected that on the evenings of the 19th and 25:13 of November, the subaltern agents of police, after baying harries. ded the streets Saint Denis and Saint Martin, so dad the passers- PRICE SEVENPENC?. by were collected into a body, broke the windows, uttered incen diary vociferations, threw stones at the troops, and, when the sedi tion was sufficiently organised, and the authorities had given the usual warnings, they separated from the crowd, and having placed themselves out of the *ay of the balls. the gendarmerie fired upon the multitude. Now, what does the Gazette sin ? It copies from the Journal dm [;.amerce the at tide relative to the Brittany subscription; this document is, in its terms and spirit, respectful to the legiti mate authorities ; it expresses fidelity to the King, submission c,. the charter and the laws, confidence in the justice of the tribunzls, audit formally excludes the idea of resistance by force, which would be a frightful calamity. But the ministerial writer, substitut ive his own ideas for those contained in the article in question, transforms the original document into injuries against the person of the King and his authority, attempts against the Royal pre rogative, and inducement to re-establish the privileges of the ancient regime, and the overthrow of the charter and the laws of the kingdom, &c. it picks up stones and throws them at the King and the Magistrates, and then denounces us as the author, of the attempt. The Journal du Creurserce is seized by order of the Authorities, and the Gamine also gets itself seized in order to play its part in the trial,—in order to inculpate us, and to sustain the accusation which it has taken the pains to get up. The following are the means which the dilator points out to the Government : " The document which has been drawn up, and to which it is sought to obtain signatures, is unconstitutional, blegalin the highest degree, and contains a grave accusation against the King's persop and authority. •s I. It presumes in the monarch the violation of his oaths by that of the Charter, and the liberty which it guarantees. s• 2- It again calls into activity the principle of resistance which it is wished to organise in case of the official proposal of • an uncon stitutional change in the electoral system, or the illegal establish. ment of the impost,' which is an attempt against the Royal will, and makes private individuals the judges of this prerogative of the Throne. "3. An association of subscribers with a political intention, having chiefs, and bound by written or other engagements, consti tuted a real political corporation—an alliance or federation which cannot be formed without danger to the public tranquillity. and which the magistrates and the authoritits have the right to know of, in order to dissolve and to proceed against the authors accord ing to the importance of the circumstances. " 4. The preamble, by recalling the contract of union between Brittany and France, and by appearing to support the re•ictance provoked by that document, from the necessity of making certrin clauses of the contract respected, resuscitates privileges which had been extinguished and destroyed by the Constitution of the king dom, and by the laws which have fixed the new territorial division, and placed all the departments under the same authority and the same law. In this respect the document in question is unconstitu tional, and contains a grave attempt against the Charter and the laws of the kingdom. " 5. The principles which induced the condemnation of the national subscription in 1820 are applicable to the subscription which is attempted to be obtained in Brittany, since its object is to paralyse the action of the laws and the government." It would be useless to expose all the impostures which this commentary contains, as each of the interpretations of the denun ciator is contradicted by the express terms of the document com mented upoe.The subscription is only opened in the possible.case that a handful of political waste-books(bmadisfonspefitiques)should attempt to violate the institutions of the kingdom, and to establish imposts "either without the free, regular, and constitutional consent otter Chambers constituted in conformity with tbe Charter and the exist ing laws, or with the consent of Chambers formed by an electoral system which shall not have been voted With the same ColleitU. tional forms." The hypothesis, then, is a material violation of ilit ' (liner and the laws. There is, then, no question of resistance to the authority of the Government, nor of opposing the exercise of the Royal prerogative, still less of an injurious attack upon the person of the King, towards whom the Members of the Brittany Association declare themselves bound by oath and by duty. They only engage to resist acts which should not proceed front autho rity, regularly expressed, of the King and the legal powers, and to which obedience could not be due. In such a case the members of the association would resist the usurpers, whoever they might be, of the powers of the King and the Chambers, not by force, but by legal means, such as the refusal to satisfy exactions, and by proceeding against exactors in the tri bunals and in the Cour Royale of Rennes. Let the waste- bosh politicians, then, cease to identify thems e lv e s with royalty, and to pretend, at eac h of the censures of which they are the object, that the King is attacked in their persona an insolent artifice, by which, shielding themselves with the inviolability of the King, they seek to despoil the King himself of it, and to make the responsibility of their acts fall upon his head. But do we not see through their real intentions, under a pretext of which they themselves discover the absurdity ? Even at the mere words of chatter, illegal impost, and exaction, see how they irritate themselves, and pretend that the King's prerogatives are attacked ! What interest have they to fortify themselves befutc hand against resistance to the collection of illegal contributions which may be imposed, if it is not because they intend to give an opportunity and an object for that resistance? Do they fear that an association formed for au hypothetical object would become a subject of trouble, if it were not probable that the hypothesis would be realized? If such an Association had been formed during the last administration, NJ. Roy and his colleagues would not have suffered much uneasiness about it—they would have held the authors in contempt as visionaries, for they would not have thought of imposing taxes without the concurrence of the Chambers, or with the aid of a pretended Chamber of Deputies formed by an electoral system established without law. The con fusion into which the Ministry is thrown at the mete appearance of the pLin of the Association, and the pursuits directed against the journal which published it, evidently prove that the citizens who suggested it were wise and foreseeing, and that the danger is nut imaginary. The news of the seizure of the journal will no doubt have the effect of multiplying the number of its subscribers, and more associations will be formed in other parts of France upon the same model. The citizens will not suffer themselves to be intimidated by the menaces of the Ministry. The legal resistance to arbitrary power and to usurpation, so far from being an offence, is an act of patri otism and fidelity to tee legitimate authority. The tribunals will not punish as an offence the act by which the citizens unite with a design, the end and means of which are equally irreproachable. The right of associatin; is as natural a right, and as incontes:abl,r in principle, as the right of acting and of thinking. The law only suppresses the culpable use which may be made of it. Criminal associations are those like that society of self-called Royalists denounced in 1819 by M. Madier de Montgsir, under the name of occult government, which laboured to overturn the legal government by violence and assassination. It was, or rather it still is, that criminal association which unceasingly conspires against the Charier, and which now thinks itself powerful enough to accomplish its project. They are those organized military com panies formed in some of the western departments, which have chiefs, arms, and flags unknown to the army : they are, in short, those 50,000 men in whose name a letter was addressed t'. the King to offer their aid in destroying the legislative power.
