TUESDAY. OCTOBER 12. Private ad% ice.; from a party in Paris well qualified to give the information, arc received this morning, by which v.e fird that the most cordial undivided feeling exists be t... een France and England, en the subject of their neutra -1.::- resi•ect to Belgium ; and their mutual disposition to lend their best endeavours for the maintenance of peace generally throughout Europe. Belgium is still the scene of trouble and disorganization. We have the duplicate of a letter from Liege, of a very re cent date, which speaks thus :—" We are really at a loss to conceive what are to bo the effects of the late struggle. The settlement of this revolution seems to be a far mare dif ficult matter than the defeat of the Dutch army. From twenty to thirty thousand men—volunteers from the surrounding provinces—are now assembling for the de fence of Belgium ; but the organization of the patriot force seems to be a matter not properly understood, and proceeds but slowly• This is caused chiefly by the want of finances. General Dty vt v IEIO, of Mons, is requested to take the command of the new troops ; but there is some hesitation, on account of the litmc offering his son, the Prince of ORANGE, as Vice-roy, with a promise to re pair the damage and injury inflicted by Prince FREDEEICK in the recent conflict." By the Turkey Mail, this morning, we have letters from Constantinople of the 10th ult. On the Bth, the tri-coloured flag was hoisted on the house of the French Embassy, and by the shipping belonging to the French in that harbour. These letters do not contain much intelligence of moment. Business remained much as at the date of last advices. The GRAND SEIGNOR had just been present at a splendid review of twenty-five thousand mcn. A Lisbon Mail has this day arrived, which sailed on the 26th of September. None of the intelligence brought by this conveyance, so far as it has transpired, is of the least consequence. There being no liberty of the press, or free dom of discussion in that quarter, nothing true can bo looked for in the Lisbon Papers. In the subsequent columns, our readers will peruse with pleasure an intelligent letter from one of our correspondents in Paris, which we are extremely happy to perceive re presents the political excitement of that Capital, to be gradually subsiding into a confidence in the present Government. The rational party is evidently ascendant, not only in the Chambers, but among the people ; and we have not now much apprehension, but that France may remain undisturbed by any future convulsion. We must confess, that up to the period of the successful attack on the Parisian Clubs, we were not without constant alarm, that France was doome . d to be, for some time, the scene of revolutionary confusion ; and we think, that its not being so, shows that the state of society there, has been much altered since the former Revolution. It is very true, that no one doubted that a peat change had taken place, in the organization of society ; but still the individual moral improvement, could not strike the eye of a traveller so forcibly, as to dispel all feats of outrage, should the salutary re straints of Government be again removed. We now indulge a hope, that a moral improvement of magnitude, has actually, taken place, and that the horrors of the French Revolution are past for ever. During casual residences in France, we have never been affected with the Gallo-mania ; and there is no country in Europe, which is more visited by inquirers, ' and we think less understood. The biensiance of a French mob we have witnessed and admired ; and we have asked ourselves, when igriesbly carried along in one of their crowds, enjoying the geMal-bumoured jests of surrounding individuals—is it possible that this people could ever commit the atrocities of which we have read ? But we have not been with out discerning, that this almnst anomalous degree of popu lar bienseance was capable of sudden change ; and squeezing through the entrance into the Garden of the Thuilleries, or any narrow pass, would often dissipate our surprise, and display traits of sudden irrascibility, sufficient to develop the fact, that the ocean, when smooth and unruffled, is not the less likely to wreck the ship. What can be more truly benign in sentiment, or benevo lent in character, than the dawn of the great revolution ? Who more truly brave, generous, and humane, than some of its early victims? What can be more promising of happy days, than a country being governed, as France at present appears to be, by men of sober reflection, and mild senti ment? It cannot be denied that the French display specimens of moral excellence which no nation can excel ; and to show that it would be unjust to deny that this ex cellence is really a part of the national character, we must only recollect that it is confined to no party, and restricted in its appearance, to uo season. How nobly, for instance, has been the conduct of the present royalist seceders, from the Chambers, wbo have boldly, in the face of revolutionary France—in the face of a people whose inimical excitement, if judged by the past, must be thought terrific—declared their dissent from the proceedings of their triumphant antagonists ? W hat can identify itself more with the sublime recollections of antiquity ?—And must not we think a similar spirit pervades the antagonist parties, who have left them unmolested in dissent ? These appearances, we ardently hope, aro not de ceptive—we think not. We trust the adoption of the pro found De TRACY'S measure, and mercy to the unhappy State prisoners, will prove to all the world that it is not so. I FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. RECEIVED Tills DAT. PARIS, OCT. 9, 1830. Sin,—Two events of great importance now occupy the public mind. One is the approaching election of Members to fill the vacancies in the Chamber of Deputies, and the other the solemn trial of the state delinquents, who COM !flitted an outrage on the people equally reckless and heart less. The general voice is far from being satisfied with the present constitution of the Chamber. The people say, and with great justice, that its Members were elected, under a different order of things altogether, and have not the vigour and energy requisite to carry into effect the many reforms and changes, for which they had fought and conquered. In addition to this, eighty-nine who had been returned by the in trigues of the former Government,had resigned,and some have in their letters of resignation assumed a tone of insolence, and prophecy, as to the fragility of the present state of affairs; con sequently their departments and towns were totally unrepre sented. The remaining deficiency of about thirty, arises from their appointment to offices in the State, and by the modified Charter, they arc compelled to return to their constituents, an idea evidently borrowed from your Parliamentary usages. These last mentioned will nearly all be again returned, being popular favourites, who have hitherto been silent by the ac ceptance of office ; and being men of talent and activity, will give additional strength to the mental ascendancy of the House. In the place of the eighty-nine resigned Royalists, there can be but little doubt in the present excitement of the Departments, but they will be replaced by men of courage and talent, ultra liberals, if not republicans. From these circumstances it will be seen, that in three weeks, the talents —the energy of the Chamber—will receive a most important addition, an amalgamation of the best possible matter ; and as the honesty and principles of the present Deputies are beyond suspicion, and only their timidity blamed, this healthy current, injected into the somewhat languid sys tem of the body in question, may prove of the must invigorating nature, and produce an healthy, and power ful effect. It is sincerely wished by every moderate and reflecting politician, that this view may be realized, and that it may restore that confidence to the representative body, which at present they do not enjoy. Should it not have this happy effect, a new Chamber must be called, with a very great increase of the elective franchise, and allowing much younger men both to sit and to vote than at present. A query then arises, whether an accession of the vigor of youth, would be compensated for, by the absence of the wisdom of age ? and whether such an assembly, hot from the schools, wrapped in visionary ideas of Grecian and Roman republics, might not declare their sittings permanent, and convert themselves into a national convention ? The warmth of po litical feeling has not yet had time to subside, and as a well wisher of France, 1 think that a general election would be a serious evil for some time to come. Let the people see how the new system works at present ; let them see confidence restored, and commerce flourishing ; and they will find that they have a rational degree of freedom, and every day adding something to the amelioration of society. France, strong in herself, will see a golden age arising in her bosom, as far as human nature will allow such a blissful vision to be realized. The new members will be a fourth of the whole assembly ; and, having seen what is supposed to be deficient by their constituents in the present members, will bring to their task, not merely the vigour of fresh men, but the experience, which their position as spectators has allowed them to acquire.' It will, probably, be the last week in the present month, in which the four inculpated ministers will be brought to trial. The preparations are not yet finished for their reception at the Luxembourg. Every precaution has been taken, not only for their safe custody within, but, what in the present state of public feeling is equally necessary, their protection from violence from without. Those who are not acquainted with Paris, can form but a very faint idea indeed of the desperation and the recklessness of a popular insurrection here. In addition to this, may be added an exhaustless fertility of expedient, a convertibility of every substance into the means of offence and defence, and the docility with which they obey the or ders given by their self-elected leaders. The populace of any other capital in Europe would not have submitted to the controul and dictation of mere boys, as was evinced here during the great week, by the commands not only given by the Polytechnic Scholars, but by those of the Schools of Law and Medicine. It would astonish the world at large could they have seen the extreme youth of the most active combatants. Boys of 10 and 12 crouching and crawling ander the bellies of the horses, armed with a pistol, was a very common sight. Their precocity demonstrated that a French man is born with an appetite for military life. I much fear that should say sentence short of death be passed upon the two Ministers who are the most violently bated, namely, Polignac and Peyronnet, that a dreadful popular commotion may arise, and that a similar scene, so admirably painted in " The Heart of Mid-Lothian," will be reacted in Paris ; happy indeed if it terminate with nothing more serious than the execution of the criminals. The Government evidently foresee this, and are making every preparation to resist violence from popular effervescence, even so far, that a park of artillery is to be quartered in the gardens of the Luxembourg ; and its beautiful grass plots, on which ' thousan.i, (.f chi'drrn a-( t!Jity ei.o:ting, ,till shortly be destroyed Ly :;.e lux,* of cannon and caissons. I am myself acquainted with several citizens of respectability who have told me,that they are solemnly pledged to avenge the death of their slaughtered friends. Some in the first moments of grief and indignation have made those vows, which their better feelings would not lead them to retract; but when pledged to each other by that honour, which in a Frenchman supersedes religion, his character is at stake; and however reluctantly, he feels that his compact must be ratified. On the other hand, there opens a bright prospect fir the Ministers. A very strong feeling prevails in Franco at , this moment against the punishment of death, in any shape for any crime. An admirable report, recommending its l abolition, has been presented by M. de Tracy to the Chamber, and which I will transmit to the STAR. There can be no doubt but this has been brought forward at an earlier period than it otherwise would have been, in order to avert the probable fate of the State criminals now in custody. The King most warmly enters into these sentiments ; and although I am sorry to remark that 'religions feeling is at a very low ebb in this metropolis, its most sublime precept— that to forgive our enemies—appears daily in the petitions, which are sent into the Chamber, even from those on whom the stroke of tyranny has fallen with the greatest weight. The Society, Les Amis de la Verite, whose procession to the spot which which witnessed tho martyr dom of their companions, about which so much needless alarm was excited in Paris and in London, signed, before they separated, on that melancholy occasion, a petition requesting the remission of privation of existence in any case, and on Friday a deputation of forty maimed and wounded men in the late events, from the convalescent Hospital of St. Cloud, presented a memorial to the same effect, whilst yet smarting under the wounds they had lately received, and while the tortures they had undergone were yet fresh in their memory. These, with many others, have emanated from a desire to spare France from the infliction of capital punishment. The Law of Sacrilege was abolished on Friday, to the great joy of future jurors, and public prosecutors. This law, which decreed death for any robbery, however trifling, committed in a church, was a sour ce of great vexation, and actual perjury. It placed the jurors in the same painful situation that your former criminal laws did as to the value of property stolen. How often have twelve men in England declared, upon their oath, that a valuable gold watch was worth thirty-nine shillings only ? In France, the churches are open the whole day; consequently petty thefts occasionally take place. If it happened in a vestry, the jury found it was a theft in a dwelling house ; if in the porch, that it was a street robbery ; but if clearly proved to have happened at the altar, they found it to be sudden insanity. To these miserable quibbles wore conscientious men reduced, and placed in the dilemma to falsify an oath, or sacrifice the life of a fellow creature. Under these circumstances, a coun tryman of yours escaped about four months since. The clear est evidence proved that he had stolen a crucifix, which he supposed to be silver, but which was only plated, from the High Altar of the church of St. Eustache.— It was found upon him. Ho pleaded poverty, and a sudden access of insanity. The good-natured I Jury acquitted, and made a collection for him. From la similar severity in the penal code, coiners are certain of escape. I expect that the law relative to thorn will next un dergo a revision. From the wretched state of tho copper currency, and the adulterated species called Billon, it is a crime of frequent occurrence. A discussion has lately taken place on the corn laws, and a moat lamentable deficiency of talent in political economy was displayed. This science has not made much pro gress in France. A modification of the duties upon wine is in progress. Wine is not here, as in England, a luxury confined to the middle and upper classes of society ; but is by habit become as much a necessary as beer is to your men, and tea to your women. The wine growers have for years past been in a most deplorable situation, the produce greatly exceeding the consumption ; and the evil is, that the soil in which the vine luxuriates is fit for no other species of culti vation. There are millions of acres in France, which, if not in vineyard, would be waste. In vain, the owners press upon the Legislature the necessity of entering into commer cial treaties with England and other countries, that by a relaxation of duties, the French wines may come into more general use. Tho commercial policy of France is not sufficiently advanced to see the benefits of this reciprocity. She is striving to become a manufacturing country, and con sequently imposes protecting duties. Her want of coal, and iron, will always keep her fifty years behind you, although of late they have copied your improvements in machinery with great success. But in any case I much doubt if the light wines of France can be exported to a much greater extent than they are. They have not sufficient body for the lower classes either of England, Germany, or the northern parts of Europe, whose rigorous skies and hardier habits require more strength. In the mean time a great alteration will take place in the collection of the duties of the Octroi, at the entrance into cities as at present the ►in Ordistaire, and Champaigne pay the same rate of entrance duty. I have just learnt with great satisfaction, that the debate for the abolition of the punishment of death has occupied the Chamber the whole morning, that it was resumed on Friday evening, when at half-past eleven at night, a majority of 204 out of 246, voted an address to the King, recommending this import ant measure to be immediately adopted. The deputation ihas been with the King, who has returned for answer that he is favourable to still further amelioration of the laws than the deputation calls for. Thus has France taken the lead, in the amelioration of the human race, and shown that mercy is ever the accompaniment of valour. The important de bate you will see in the French papers, and I can have no doubt but the Bth of October will hencefor ward be memorable among the philanthropists of the two hemispheres. Commercial men will also have reason to remember the sitting of that date, as the sum of 30 millions was voted, as loans for the support of the manufacturing interests. It is gratifying to an Eng lishman to find that they refer in the Chamber to the pre cedents afforded by your Governmtint. In this debate, the loans made by Mr. Pitt and Lord Castlereagh to the mer chants of London, and their repayment, were quoted as cases in point. You shall in a few days hear again from J. L. OCT. 9.—Yesterday the King transacted business with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Minister of the Inte rior, and the Minister of War. General Lafayette had the honour of an audience, and the Minister of the Hanse Towns was received, and had the honour of delivering his creden tials. The situation of the Western Departments no longer causes any uneasinem. The nobility in that part of the country had endeavoured to excite disturbances; but the attitude and opinions of the inhabitants, the activity and good conduct of the National Guards, and the vigilant sur veillance of the Prefect of the Lower Loire, compelled them to give up the schemes of exciting an insurrection. Rome and Naples have both acknowledged Louis- Philip as King of the French, and have transmitted to their respective ambassadors new letters of credence. M. de Montesquieu, who was sent with letters of notification to • 11,03 e t o courts, retnnuAl to Paris on Thursday.—Lc Gtot, c . No notification of this has yet appeared in the Moniteur. The acknowledgment of the new French Governno , nt by Prussia was notified in the moat positive and frank wan ner. Prussia not only proclaims its concurrence in the principle of non-intervention in the affairs of France, bat she gives, at the same time, the assurance that she will not interfere in the affairs of Belgium. Thus, the reports which had been circulated relative to the hostile intentions id Prussia are without foundation.—La National. The Constitutional Regency of Portugal, established the Island of Terceira, in the name of Queen Donn% ?stark, has resolved to acknowledge Louis Philip I. as King of t): French. It is said, that M. d'Almeida is every moment ex pecting letters of credence, to present himself at Court, I.: order to be recognized as Minister from the Regency Journal du Commerce. We learn from the frontiers of Spain that 5,000 troop , : the line, and 3,000 Royalist volunteers, have entered N,_ vane. Santos Ladron, their commander, has distribute; them in moveable columns, and given the advanced guar to Jaanito, who is at Bora, with between 3 and 400 ninl. Reinforcements continue to arrive at Lampurdan.—Gaz t de France. The 7th being his Majesty's birth-day, the sth legion of t:: National Guards, and the legion of Horse, upon comin,.: t • relieve the post at the Palais Royal, had all bouquets in ti , .• barrels of their muskets. His Majesty, accompanied by t!. Princes, his eons, in the uniform of the National Guard,' descended into the Court, and passed them in review, the • Queen and Princesses witnessing the review from the bal cony of the Palace. His Majesty, who was received witl. lively acclamations, addressed the Officers in the most flat tering terms. In the evening, the Officers of the National Guard on duty, and those by whom they were relieved, as well as two sergeants, two corporals, and two grenadiers of each company, had the honour to dine with the King at. .I Royal Family. The serjoants, corporals, and grenadiers, drew lots for the distinction, in order that no preference might appear to be shown. All the Sovereign Princes of Germany are assembling ti.. notables of their country, and are disposed to grant the ame liorations necessary to Government, to redress grievances, y and to do justice to all well-founded claims. Since the lar - end of July, these Princes have become the best, the mo-: ' constitutional, and the most clear-sighted of Sovereigns—:i singular effect of the three days.—Le Temps. A deputation from the mercantile houses of St. %untie have just agreed to petition the King, to afford succour to Messrs. Vassal and Co., which would be advantageous commerce iu general, and particularly to the town of Saint Quiutin, where their failures have caused the stoppage c;' the greater part of the manufactories, and throw twenty-fit.- thousand workmen out of employ.

Orders have been given by the Minister of the Interior t. such persons as, since tho Revolution of July, had estl , .l)- fished printing-offices without license, to close these estab lishments by to-morrow.

The number of sick who have come to Marseilles from Algiers is from 4 to 5,000, and 2,000 more are expected Three hundred,who have had limbs amputated, are expected from Mahon. They are said to be perfectly restored, but this is not the case with the convalescent, who are leaving the Marseilles hospital. A letter from Toulon, of the lst inst. states that the convalescent who had been removed from Marseilles to that town, excite the greatest commise ration by their weak state of health. At Marseilles, from 12 to 18 die every day ; on some days the number of thus:. who died amounted to 30. A frigate, which was only three three days in coming over from the coast of Africa, thre% 40 dead into the sea during her passage.—Quotidienne. A private letter from the Hague says The King of the Netherlands is in a state of anxiety difficult to descri!... He regrets deeply that things have been pushed so far.— Among the rumours afloat is ono of disturbances havi.l , broken out in many of the towns of Holland, the inhabitants of which refuse to pay the indirect taxes." Extract of a price . te letter from Amsterdam A p;-( ert is openly entertained in this City of converting Holland int:, a Batavian republic, as soon as Belgium shall be declared in dependent. This project, which many Dutch families hart for a long time desired to see realized, would reduce the King of the Netherlands to the simple rank of Stadtholder, the only title that the Princes of his family held previous to the year 1814." The Neapolitan Government has lately sent a body of troops into the Abbruzzes and the defile of Androdow. It is concluded from hence, that fears are entertained lest the 'Austrians, who are expected, should be attacked on their passage. Great fermentation prevails at Montelone and Potenza. In the Capitanate it was found necessary to fire upon the people. Although this commotion was not of a political nature, several cries in favour of the constitution I were heard. At Naples, the Swiss are exercised in military evolutions; all the posts, which were guarded by the Neapo litan Royal Guards, are now confided to the Swiss ; the en virons of Naples are likewise well guarded. It is evident tbat a popular commotion is feared ; every thing, however, would soon be settled, if a constitution were granted. It is said that two Generals, and an ancient Minister, supplicated the King to open his eyes, and that his Majesty had nearly consented ; but the Confessor of the Queen interfered, an.; has deranged every thing.— Constitutionnel. Letters have been received from the west coat of Sumatr.i, conveying the melancholy information that the Achinese had landed suddenly at Tapanooli, and murdered all the Dutch residents—said to be about 50 ; but retired again, without molesting the individuals of any other country, nor committing any robbery or other violence. Tile animosity to the Dutch at Tapanooli arose, it is said, from the inter diction, by their Government, of intercourse between the Achinese and Pulp Nyas. CITY, HALF.P4ST TWELVE.
