FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, Wasotaso.ty Evaanto. Up to this hour there is no further arrival to the French Go vernment from Constantinople. Ministers talk with less confidence of the satisfactory termination of affairs in the East. They feel, however, that their own existence depends on it. I have nothing to add to what I have already stated as to public opinion here. Within a very few days the Ministry must resign or adopt rigorous measures. It was hoped by them that the vio lence of the liberal journals would gradually lose its piquancy and effect, but they find the contrary ; they have no alternative be tween the exercise of arbitrary power and resignation. The funds are languid. The jobbers know not whit to expect, and do nothing. This afternoon the price of the five per Cents. is lOU.

MILAN, San. 5. The Austrians, not content with preventing the Italians from meeting together, and with shutting their mouths, now wish to enchain their thoughts. The Governor of Milan has just delivered to the Inqulsitors the following secret Note : " We, Governor of Milan, &c. " Having been informed, by persons in whom we can place confidence, and who are worthy of belief, that evil.disposed and suspected men make use of signs to communicate their projects, on the public walks. in the theatres, and even in the ministerial offices, under the eyes of authority, we invite you to seek secretly, and with all possible precaution, to discover the signification of these signs,which appear to announce a secret plot against the Govern ment. In order to enable you to attain this object, we inform you that all sums which you may expend to discover the object of this diabolical cabal will be reimbursed, and that a liberal reward will be bestowed upon your zealous services." MADRID, San. 8. The King and the Infants yesterday left San Ddefonso for the Escurial. At the end of about an hour a pan of the harness gave way, and the coach fell forward. The violence of the fall caused the bead of the King to strike against the glass and inflicted a wound in his forehead, which bled copiously. T his accident, how ever. has caused no alteration in the health of his Majesty. BERNE, Sam 8. By a decree of the Landaman of the Canton of Tessin, it is for• bidden to insert in any public paper articles containing expressions contrary to the respect due to foreign Powers allied to the Swiss Confederation, or reflecting upon the Government or Magistracy. The same prohibition extends to publications of every description. We are assured, upon good authority, that the Council of Mi nisters. after long discussions, have resolved on the following mea sums, by Ordonnances :-Ist. That the Chamber of Deputies shall receive an augmentation of 200 members. 2dly. That the election of these WO members should be with the Counclh-General of De partments. 3dly. That the new Deputies should form part of the present Chamber, which, consequently, would not be dissolved. They write from Marseilles, under date of Sept. 9 :—" It ap pears from the latest news from Tripoli, that we are going to war with that Regency. What is said on this subject is not much to the credit of our Consul." They write from Paris, says the Amateur de Lyon, that M. Simonet, chief of the Bureau of the Mayoralty, and charged with the formation of the Electoral Lists, is now at Paris. It Is pre sumed that a clerk from each of the principal Mayoralties has also been ordered to Paris. From Le Globe of Wednesday. THE BRITTANY ASSOCIATION, AND THE REFUSAL TO PAY THE TAXES. Ever since the acceedes of the present Ministry, all France has said " they are ominous men, and they can have no other than de testable projects." Their writers talk of nothing but of a power superior to the Charter—of a constituent power vested in die hands of the King—they affect to despise parliamentary majorities, and think that decisions by ballot are very humorous and ridiculous things. Not content with this, they invoke arbitrary power as a supreme law of safety. Behind these turbulent words, a stillmore violent party is concealed. supported by armed congregations and insurgents, disciplined and organised by M. de is &casket. What dues this presage, if not a war against the charter? How can we resist and defend it ?If they should lay their bands upon it—if, by means of sophistry,they should do away with the electoral law by or doenance, and procure, by the same violent measures as in 181 5. an illegal and revolutionary Chamber, what means of safety will re main to us? Must we have recourse to force and to insurrection, and risk at once our peace and the Throne, the public wealth and the dynasty ? Shall we be again doomed to witness the times when, like the Italians, we may be doomed to hide ourselves among the Carbonari, to seduce the troops from their allegiance, to set on foot intrigues, and to seek for a pretender who may serve us and combat for us? This is the game which our enemies would like to see us play, for they would have plenty of pretences to deprive us of our heads. But would that course be fitting for a wise and enlightened nation? Does that Charter. in which power has an interest, and for which we have suffered so much without a murmur, and adopted as a treaty after rwenty-five years of combat between absolute royalty and popular sovereignty, contain no efficacious guarantee for Überty and order? The King gave it to us, and he appeared to wish for its continuance, as well as for the perpetuity of his family ; and is there no clause in it to prevent civil war, which is the destruction of thrones and nations? If he bat reserved to 'loyalty its legal remedy against rebel or itl.inspired Chambers, has he not also assured to the people their tight of pacific and organised defence against ignorant or guilty Ministers? This is what every one wishes, and with a single voice, from one end of France to the ether, the reply is, "We have the vote of the taxes." If the Chamber isnot dissolved, it will reject the budget, and we wW not pay ; and if it is replaced by an illegal Chamber. or if the Ministry is hardy enough to govern without a Chamber, this will not force us to pay; and if they go beyond that—Gut knows eke red. Every body reasons in this way ; and Brittany, which is the land of federation, no sooner saw the danger than every thing was put in motion to provide a remedy. The citizens entered into an engagement. and we have our covenant for the refusal of the taxes, u the Scotch formerly had their covenant for religion. The model of it, when sbewn to the Ministry (still trembling with the scar madam of Lyons), acted like a cannon-shot ; and, irritated to the quick, it seized the papers which spread the news, bet not ip doe to prevent the circulation of more than 20,000, and all Prince is now informed of it. We inlays that it is the duty of the dims to bethink them. l i selves seriously of their situation; the method adopted by the Bre teas is the only one which can lead to the overthrew of the Minis try, without risking the destruction of the dynasty and the boron of chit war• It forces Ministers to remain within the bounds of the law, or compels them to propose UNISIOVI to the Prince be.l yond the law. In such a case, it will be impossible that a sense of his duty and of his situadon--the remembrance of Mamie, and the advice of his friends, should not enlighten the King upon the danger into which they would hurry him. He knows the limit of his prerogative, and be knows that he cannot rimed it without de stroying the contract which has also prescribed the bounds of po pular power, and circumscribed its action. The vote of taxes is the popular prerogative, if we ay use the expression, in opposition to Royal prerogative; and it is upon this prerogative that the existence and the rights of the House of Com mons repose. If the people did not possess it, they would have no control over the Government, and they could neither correct an abuse nor procure any amelioration. By means of the vote of the rues, the equilibrium, which the initiative of the laws and the absolute veto, the supreme power of the administration, the com mand of the forces by land and by sea, the right of peace and war, serve to make the balance incline so much to the King's side would be, if not re-established, at least its tendency would be averted. The power of the Chamber to refuse subsidies has beets an insur mountable obstacle to every Ministry. No one will affirm that in history an example may not be found of a great people and a King placed in such a position as to render some violent blow necessary. The representative Government is a piece of mechanism, and the vote of the taxes is one of its prin cipal springs. . . . • • • (inestions of finance might arise, and there might be circum stances when they might involve the vital principle of power ; and then, though there might be injustice, and even greater errors, yet there would be no ground to refuse the taxes. The Bretons have not asserted the contrary ; but the fear of sinister names and of perverse doctrines—of an attempt against the Charter the electoral laws and the independence of the Chamber of De puties, forced • them to adopt some precaution. . We have read the Charter, and it has taught us not only what are the powers of the Prince, but what is our duty. If in its name he should alone impose a tax, or dictate a law, on that day would the crime of high treason have been committed, and the Constitution violated ; and popular justice would seek for reparation at the foot of the Throne. His sacred prerogative would not shield him, and indeed It would be fortunate If it escaped the wreck in which France and the Charter would have been overwhelmed. We believe the Charter to be a gift which cannot be withdrawn. Yon know what we were when the Bour bons returned, and bow that compact was formed in which we buried the animosities of twenty-five years, as they buried theirs. Recollect the 31st of March, when, under the smoke of foreign camps, amid the dust of the ruins of the empire, at the single cry of peace, all our life, since 89, returned to us. The Emperor of , Russia proclaimed our rights as the passport and absolution of his victory ; the emancipated Senate declared them ; and a provision ary Government guaranteed them. You see that the bare mention of your names—at the very sound of your insensate declarations, the country prepares itself. Will you go farther? You say no. So much the better. You will condemn yourselves beforehand if you lie; you will fall If you tell the truth. _ _ _ 111. From the Journal des Debuts. May the astonishment and gilef of France prevent the com pletion of the project which we are about to reveal ! May this work of darkness, this fatal embryo of Ministerial genius, be dragged to its light—may it be seen, and die! It will easily be conceived why, in the apparent inactivity of the Ministry, the official writers have said so much within the late fortnight of the constituent Royal power, and of its supreme right alone to mu• dify the Charter, which emanated from it alone. It will be easily comprehended why, so lately as this morning, the least absurd of the organs of Ministers laughed at the article 4* of the Charter—declared that the Chamber had not the power to re fuse taxes—that their consent is a forced areaway ; and that if they exercise the right which they had hitherto been erroneously supposed to possess, the Crown would know what it would have to do. These doctrines are only pilot-balloons—the forerunning signs of a project of which some men press the incredible execu tion. These men have begun to perceive, or rather have finished by avowing, that they will not have a majority in the Chambers; . and this is the remedy imagined by the most violent among them, and already communicated and discussed. It is proposed to decree by Ordonnance—first, that the number of Deputies shall be in creased by 200 ; secondly, that these 200 members shall be directly elected by the Councils-General of departments in a determined proportion ; thirdly, that this addition shall be immediately applied to the Chamber of Deputies, which in this way would not undergo any immediate renewal. But this is illegal and insensate, every one will cry out who reads it. It was, however, thought a favourable moment to advise a mea sure which had been meditated for a long time. It has beenthought possible to take advantage of the uneasiness of which they alone were guilty, and of the popular manifestations which the they lent invasion of power had provoked, and ncessky was alleged as an imperious reason. In addition to sophistry, also, there was no want of lying analogies, in order to bolster up this necessity. They relied, too, upon the alluocratic system, backed by .thigloasasy which M. de I'olignac would very willingly take for the Charter.— It was said, citing M. Cocks (for, in certain political situations, a publicist and a fool are synonymous), " We are destroyed by uniform and democratical elections. Look at England ; the sources of her Parliamentary representation are very varied : there are Deputies from Counties, Deputies from Cities, Deputies from the Universities, and Deputies from rotten Boroughs, who are often named by two or three, by 15 or 20 freeholders, dependent upon some great lord or an officer of the Crown." Something of the same kind to wanted in France, and Royalty must supply what Is wanting in the aristocracy. The Councils-General are now named by the King ; the mass is composed of rich proprietors; and above all, they are composed of our fraternity (des seatres)—give them the right of directly choosing 200 Deputies. This is the way to have a Chamber as numerous as that of England, and to save the Ministry and the Throne. But it will be said, on every side, this would be the overthrow of all law, a fundamental State blow, a civil war. The Councils- General of departments, which at present are not legally composed, as was avowed bp a Minister last Session—these Councils-General have fixed duties, constitutionally limited, and which cannot be exceeded without a great stretch of power. The Chambers, united to the King, could not, without abrogathig a multitude of laws, and without violating the Charter, confer upon these Councils a third of the electoral power; and how could the Crown alone, in these Chambers, submerge itself in a chaos of illegalities, and our institutions, and our fifteen years' obedience to the Charter, and the present and the future? It matters not—the inventor of the plan will say it is a good one, and, what is more, that it is possible ; and at this price they would have a Chamber, when the Chamber could legalise itself, and unction its origin by its acts. In short, that this is their only resource. PARISH OF ST. CLEMENT DANES. Yesterday a Meeting of the Inhabitant Householders was held in the Vestry Room of the Parish, principally for the passing of the Overseers accounts for the year ending at Lady-day last. Mr. Scrivener, the senior Churchwarden, took the Chair. A Meeting was held on the 3d inst. for the purpose of passing the accounts, but postponed on account of one of the Overseers not having paid for the labour of several of the paupers whom he had employed. This account had in the interim been paid, and.ehe accounts were now passed without opposition. It appeared that the total assessment in the parish for the sup port of the poor during the year ending at Lady-day, was 7,902/. 14s. of which 6501. 16s. was in arrear ; 2,1001. had been received towards the support of the poor from the Holborn estate belonging to the parish, and the income of which renders the Poor Rates in this Parish very low. Some conversation arose en the non-payment of the poor-rates by the occupiers of chambers in that part of Lincoln's lon situate In the parish of St. Ckment's ; and Mr. Collier, the Vestry Clerk, stated, that the opinion of an eminent Counsel bad been obtained, who said the Inn was liable to the payment of the rates, and was not eatra parochial. The parish of St. Andrew, Holboni, had gained a verdict three times, and the Inn were now paying them 1,0001. a year u a composition ; and he had no doubt the same re. stilt would follow with respect to St. Clement's parish, if the afair was brought before a Jury. Ten guineas were awarded to the overseers for refreshments, he. Mr. Clarke, one however, of the overseers, returned his share, and ordered it to be placed to the credit of the parish, re marking that he had no business with one farthing of the parish mousey. The other Overseers did not follow Mr. Clarkes ex ample, and the accounts passed. Thanks having been voted to the late Overseers for their con duct while in office, and also to the Chairman, the Meeting ad* joarned. Colonel Crockett, of Tennessee, had recently a contest with a hir. Stewart. The latter charges bier with a fib. The Colonel dirges &ewart with an untruth, and says that he (the Colonel) ii"itesponsible for the c►arge." Stewart replies that the Colonel is Masked, and that his affair with Prior Lea is so unsettled as to leave the Colonel with the credit of " doubtful comp."— Thus the affair stands. The New York Commercial Advertiser states, that about an hour beftwe the storm of Saturday morning the whole city was Wominated by an intensely bright meteor. " Its body was a untameable, from which depended a train or tail of fury par. ticks, tapering 4to a point like a cone. After traversing about 20 deg. of the horizon, with prodigious swiftness, it dbappeared as suddenly as Sind blazed upon the sight. THE EVENING STAR. , •01 )0( io , r• PUCATIS 4 LONDON.

They are entirely made up of gossiping articles ;—such as the appearance of an English ship at Cologne the first time for 250 years—the death of the nonagenarian Counsellor of the Duke of NASSAU—the uncertain project of the Rhine navigation—and lastly, an account of a feud be tween the citizens of Giessen and the students of the University. The following are the particulars : COLOGNE, Sire. 10. For the first time' for these 250 years we to-day see the English flag eying in our port. The English schooner. commanded by Captain Milne, which sailed from London on the 19th of last month by way of trial, having been detained, according to some, by contrary winds, or, as others say, by being detained in the Waal, arrived here yesterday ceasing, and orders were immediately given to land her cargo. A home here also received to-day letters an nouncing the arrival of s ship, which was to leave Liverpool in a few days with a cargo direct from our port. ERBACH, IN THE RHINGAU, San. 9. On the 3d et this month died Mr. Grier, Counsellor in the service of the Duke of Nassau, in the 92d year of his age. He was a remarkable instance of length of service. as well as life. The reigning Duke of Nassau was the seventh Sovereign of Nassau whom he had served with unabated fidelity daring a period of 56 years. He has left a widow SO years of age, with whom he lived In perfect happiness for 44 years. MAYENCE. Barr. 4. The Prussian Plenipotentiary will not arrive here, to take part in the negociatioss respecting the free navigation of die Rhine, till the Commissioners of the other States shall have their instructions on the scheme oh a definitive arrangement proposed by Prussia : this plan seems to be extremely well adapted to the interests of the merchants ; for, as we bear, the Chamber of Commerce here has made no objection to 14—except to wish that in the manifesto of the ship's cargo and the names of the consigner and consignee may be omitted. DARMSTADT, Aso. 31. In consequence of some Weeks offered by the citizens of Giessen te the students of the University, for which the latter did not re ceive satisfaction so promptly u they ought, part of them left Giessen ; but came back in 24 hours. and broke the windows of the offending party. In consequence of this, several students. it seems, were sent home to their families; and this induced others to post up, in many parts of the town, in the night of the 24th of August, a notice, drawn up In offensive terms, declaring the Uni versity of Giessen proscribed for foreigners for an unlimited time. On this occasion, many persons have expressed themselves more unfavourably than usual respecting the existing regulations for the discipline of the University, and fear that the foreigners will leave. NUREMBURGH, Sin. it. In consequence of the late occurrence at Giessen. about twenty students. some of them sons of persons high in awe, have been banished, or received the Omahas abersdi—Nweissbowsk C... reapeadml, Sq 4. 11. A paragraph has been going the round of the Papers, stating that a bill was presented at the late London Ses sions—and found true by the GRAND Jv RY—charging the Proprietors of the Standard with having insetted a false and scandalous libel upon the Duke of WELLING TON. The paragraph goes on to state, that the public are not likely to be speedily acquainted with the precise nature of the alleged libel, as the Clerk of the Arraigns for the City, acting upon the advice of the Recorder, declines showing it to any besides the parties interested, and even then only upon the production of an affidavit. Attaching—as we do—every credit to the accuracy of this statement, we at the same time incline to believe that the proceeding has been rather an experiment of the Noble Duke upon the nerves of our contemporary than a step adopted with any real resolution to bring him into a Court of Justice : but as all these assaults upon the public Press—whether with a view to intimidate, or a design to crush its liberty—possess at this moment a peculiar and painful interest, we cannot allow the fact of this one more ominous finding of a GRAND JURY to escape us unremarked. Indeed, the so quick recurrence of such a pliability to the views of power, does not impress us with high respect for the intellects of GRAND JURIES in general, nor beget in us that sense of security against injustice, which the forms of our Constitution have been hitherto sufficient to inspire. Up to a late hour last night, we had every ground for believing that no " official notice" had been served upon the defendants to this indictment, of the finding by the GRAN D JURY ; and we are induced to believe farther, that this official notice is purposely withheld, because of the irresolution of the Noble Premier to head more than one invasion of the people's liberties at a time : pedetentiniperdere prtestat. Having stood forward to show cause for the Morning Journal, we hope it will not seem odd that we should take upon us—on the same principle —to " do likewise" for his colleague of the Stan tte# : both furious party-prints as they are ; both anima ted with a spirit of the rankest toryism, and tilting with blind inveteracy at every liberal demonstration at home, and tendency to constitutional forms abroad. Their's, however—in the particular case of these attacks—is a common cause with our own : and in proportion as we value the right of free discussion ourselves, we feel it an imperious duty to vindicate it with as great a jealousy for others, as if we ourselves were attacked in its inestimable exercise. And so we are : and if the feeling which we manifest on this occasion is not so decisive, nor so undisguised among our " fellows in the same privilege"— if they behold with stiller pulses, and more calculat ing judgments, the stride of unconstitutional invasion— it cannot be that their eyes are shut to the danger which besets their freedom, so much as that they are predisposed to barter it for the wages of corruption. With regard to the nature of the alleged libel in the Standard, we shall be able to furnish much elucidation on Monday, and we promise to examine the prosecuted columns—which we know pretty accurately where to prick for—paragraph by paragraph, and show at one glance the futility as well as the tyranny of the prosecu tion. The Times has retracted a little from the spirit of his insinuated reproaches against Sir EDWARD Co D RINGTOS ; and even goes so far as to acknowledge that " it is uncomfortable to see a brave and victorious officer like the gallant Admiral wounded in this manner, through the sides even of an inconsiderate report to the Admiralty." We are glad that our contemporary begins to see and feel things after this fashion : and we especially coincide in the belief that a great portion of matter has been kept behind which may be dragged forward for the sake of perfect justice. The Times, however, affects to allude to this only as a public rumour, to which he attaches no faith whatever. For our parts, we do not let off the LORDS COMMISSIONERS SO easily. We can trace in the late prosecution a venomous personality against the LOUD HIGII ADMIRAL, whose friend was the object of it, and a spirit of immitigable hatred to the memory and measures of Mr. CANNING. A report that the Duke of CUMBERLAND is almost immediately to supersede Lord Hi LL at the Horse-guards, has been prevalent for some days ; and the belief in it has been materially corroborated, by the appearance of sundry advertisements in the daily prints, announcing that his Royal Highness has been transacting business at the office of the Commander-in-Chief. We do no` however, believe that the " business" which his Royal Highness has been " transacting," has any reference to his appointment to the command of the Forces: neither do we conceive that such an experiment would be safe with the army, or tolerated—at this conjuncture— by the country. CITY. TwaLvs o'CLocr. Consols opened this vaorning at the same price they left or yes. terday, 89 buyers for the Account ; and 1131 for Money. At pre sent no speculations are ping forward. In the Foreign Market no business—prices nominal. We have a number of arrivals this nmening, but the information they bring is not of great importance. There are Canton Papers to the 17th March ; Boston to the 23d August ; Singapore Price Cur rents to the 3d May ; New York to the 26th August ; Mauritius to the 30th May ; Quebec to the 40th August ; Montreal to the 21st August ;--at the North and South American Coffee- House. CITY. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. The continuance of the bad weather causes a general gloms In the aty, and damps all speculations. The Como! Market has continued the whole of the morning at the same price. They opened at $9 to i for the Account, and 881 sellers for money up to the present time. In the foreign market Brazilian Stock has rather improved, owing to accounts having been received this morning from Rio Janeiro of the ssd July, stating that information bad been re ceived at Rio Janeiro of their Loan being contracted for in London, on which the Exchange there got up to 27&; also that the ac cusation against Azvaans, the Minister of War, had been thrown out by a majority of 39 against 52, which bad quite restored cob& dence at Rio, and every thing was quiet in the above capital; also the trade was rather improving. The Menai frigate was to sail in a few days. The pine packet. the Plover, bad not arrived. In the absence of some official accounts in regard to the Ha vannah expedition, it is cow stated that 2,508 men have made good a lauding ; but the place is not known. The Canton Paper of the 16th of March says :—" Our advices from the Manilla of the 21st of July, state the late crops of sugar to be all collected, and yielding a sup ply of 200,000 reels, which has occasioned a decline in price of from 3} to 2} per peton. The sales of opium have been small ;—two or three chests have formed the whole of the transactions in the opium market ; and the prices for Putna and Benares have given way ; the holders of Molwa have been more firm. ------- A Singapore Paper of the 3d of May states that the resident Councillor and his Lady embarked on board the Colonel Young for Batavia. The New York Papers state that the disturbances on the Indian frontiers have been quelled, and that all the • troops, except one hundred men, have received orders to return. _ _ ------- The Quebec Papers state that Mr. VAUGHAN, British Envoy Extraordinary at Washington, arrived at Quebec, and was received with honours. They also mention with great regret the attempt made in Upper Canada to assas sinate Mr. JACKSON, one of the Chaplains of the House of Assembly. The Montreal Papers do not contain any news. The Frankfort Papers mention the arrival of the Earl Of SHAFTESBURY in that city, where it appears he is purchasing paintings of the German school for his gal lery in England.
