THE EX-KING OF FRANCE, tc. COWES, AVG. 24. The sensation produced at this place by the visit of the French Royal has now expired; but a number of little anecdotes respecting them float about, and are greedily absorbed by the fresh shoals of eh& tem. Some of them have been evidently manufactured out of imper fectly-understood details given by the inferior attendants, and some are inventions. The Cowes folks are angry with the King because he did not land here, which they seem to think he was bound to do, to makeup for their bad season. I have no doubt that the King was ap prehensive of re ceiving some indignity. The Princesses have laid out no inconsiderable sum in the various shops of this little place. They have left a decidedly favourable impression behind them, and the children are great favourites. It is somewhat remarkable that the King should have encumbered him self with a parcel of old carriages, which I saw on board the Meteor, to the number of four or five. They looked more like/mores than royal vehicles. The insignia were clumsily expunged, except on one large carriage, which bore the royal crown and the letter H. Poore, A uo. 24.—The late King of France, Charles X. arrived at this port:yesterday, in his Majesty's bteamer Comet, accompanied by the whole of his suite. • He disembarked on that part of the quay called Hamworthy.side, where a carriage, provided by Mr. Doughty, of Up. ton-house, near this place, received him, in which he immediately pro ceeded to Lulwotth Castle, accompanied by the Duke of Luxemburg, the Duke of Bordeaux, and Count Alfred de Dames, Aide-de-Camp. The King was very well received by the populace, and was handed to his carriage by an Alderman of the Corporation. On his driving off, he was loudly cheered by some of the by-standers, which evidently pleased him. The remainder of his suite remained in Poole till this morn. ing, when they also left for Lulworth ; they may be described as follow :—Baron de Keutsinger, Secretary ; Doctor Bourgau ; his Royal Highness the Dauphin ; Countess of Morisco; the Dauphiness; the Countess of St. Maure ; Chevalier O'Hergly, Master of the Horse; her Royal Highness the Duchess de Berri; Count de Mesnard, Master of the Hone ; Count de Brisac, Major Domo ; Count and Countess de Charetti, friends ; Countess de Bouille, accompanying lady ; Monsieur de Barbaucois ; Count de Bleuhis ; Elton de Daman ; Chevalier de la Villalle, Aide-de.Camp ; her Royal Highness Mademoiselle ; Duchess de Unmans, governess; Mademoiselle Vachou, teacher; Mademoi selle L. Hemette, teacher; Mrs. Charles, &c. The King appeared to look extremely harassed, and his fax showed marks of recent trial and vexation. " POOLE, 24TH INST.-1 mentioned yesterday the landing of the late Royal Family of France—they had just landed at the time of my writing : they came with their suite and baggage in two steamers and a dock-yard craft. On coming up the harbour, the ex-King, seeing large crowds collected on the quay, was afraid he should be insulted ; and although the collector, who went on board, assured him that no such thing would occur, he had the vessel anchored at Stakes, a quarter of a mile from the quay, while Mr. Weld came on shore to make his obser vations on the dispositions of the people. His report gave the King confidence, and the vessel came to the quay, all the party being on deck. The King, Duke d'Angouleme, Duke de Bordeaux, aid his tutor, landed on the Ham-ride, where the carriage of Mr. Doughty, of Upton House, was in waiting to receive them, and in which they imme. diately set off towards Lulworth. The King shook hands with most of the persons who were near him on getting into the carriage. and expressed himself in strong terms grateful to the collector and officers for their kind attention. and addressing himself aloud to the crowd around him, thanked all for their civility to him. The ladies after wards landed at the Custom-house steps ; and on arriving at the Ante. lope, the Duchess de Berri, in particular, expressed with great feel. ing and gratitude the kind reception that they, as she termed them. selves, " a distressed family," had met with. Our Members called on them, also Lady B. Punaonby (wife of the Han. Mr. Ponsonby): they breakfasted at Mr. Lister's this morning, and went off in his carriage. Their own carriages had the crown and decorations on several of the panels effaced, and bore other marks of the rough usage they met with in France." Foote, Tuesday, Aug. 24.—The deposed Monarch arrived here yesterday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, in the Comet government steamer, and immediately proceeded, in the carriage of L. Doughty, Esq. of Upton-house, to Lulworth Castle, accompanied by the Dukes d'Angon leme and Bordeaux, and Baron de Damao. The Duchesses d'Angou. ' leme and de Berri, slept at the Antelope and London Tavern Inns, and set off this morning at 9 o'clock, for Lulworth, accompanied by the Duchess du Oontault, Marquis de Barbonsait, Madame de Raterac, and about 30 attendants, in 8 carriages. The whole party appeared in ex. cellent spirits, and highly gratified with the kind reception they met with. They walked about the town last evening and this morning, making /several purchases at the various shops; and but one feeling seems to exist amongst all classes of people, viz.—a feeling of coin. miaseration and pity for a family who have been driven to a state of vagrancy (as it were) by the ill advice of Ministers. SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS. Trixes.—We stated some days ago that the English Government would of course recognize the Constitutional King of France. We may now state that it is determined to immediately acknowledge Louie Philip as King of the French. The recognition will, we understand, be made in a manner equally prompt and cordial. The King of Eng. land, with the good sense and good feeling which belong to his charac. ter, has expressed in the warmest and most energetic terms his anxiety that no unnecessary delay shall take place in this act of sound policy and international justice. It is not, we hear, yet decided whether the recognition of Louis Philip will be made through the medium of a special mission, or through the regular me. dium of Lord Stuart de Rothsay. The accession of the French Monarch has, it is true, been specially notified to the English Government by General Baudrand ; but the absence of the Duke of Laval Montmorency tiom England rendered this step necessary. It is known that diplomatic etiquette allows the English Government the option to avail themselves of the regular channel of the resident Am. basrador, or of selecting some person especially for that duty. As the wish and determination to recognize Louis Philip are so decidedly strong and cordial, both on the part of the British Cabinet and the British So vereign, the mere form of the recognition becomes very, .unimportant. Of one thing we are sure, that neither in form nor in substance will the King of England or his Ministers do any thing which can throw a doubt on the zealous sincerity of that recog. nition. We think now, that even the most incredulous of that stupid and malignant faction who have charged the Duke of Wel. lington as being privy to the atrocious measures of Polignac, will allow, with whatever reluctance, that neither directly nor indirectly,—neither by himself nor any of his colleagues,—has there been any communica. tion between the English and French Premier, which might not be pro. claimed at Charing.crovs. The time is fast approaching, (for, as we have elsewhere stated, Parliament will meet for the despatch of business on the 26th of October.) when the Duke may publicly contradict this infamous calumny. Meantime he may challenge his enemies to pro duce, either in France or England, one tilde of proof,—one atom of pro bable evidence,—that he had ever means of knowing, much less that he appoved of, those insane projects which Charles X. and his Cabinet conceived and attempted to execute for the overthrow of their country's rights. _ Posr.—The French people, we sincerely trust, may be enabled to preserve the freedom and tranquillity they at present enjoy, but we defy a proof that they practically enjoy those blessings in a higher or purer degree than under the two last reigns. Before the issue of the ordinances, of what grievance had the French nation to complain, ex. cept indeed the grievance of seeing the elder branch of the Bourbons on the throne ? Tyranny or oppression of ary description cannot be charged upon the late King; on the contrary, a grader extent of license was allowed to the Press than even in this country, and licentiously indeed did the Press avail itself of the indulgence granted. The Ordinances were issued in self-defence. We do not affirm them to have been strictly legal (though even here they may be defended), but they were the only resource left. Concessions on the part of the King would have produced only new demands ; concede as be might he would at length have been pushed to the point of resistance, or must have quietly resigned his power. By a prompt and vigorous measure he hoprd to secure it, judging doubtless that every step of retreat would leave him less capable of making a successful stand. He hazarded the hold attempt, but the machinations of his enemies bad been too exten sively and too skilfully practised. HERALD.—The Throne which the Usurper of Portugal has raised upon the ruins of the Constitution, which he had sworn to protect, rests, we should think, at present, on a very frail foundation. We are aware that his patron.saints are powerful, and that the miracles of the church can do much in favour of so pious and obedient a believer. Still Charles X. found that there are limits to "apostolic" power, and that holy per fidy is not always successful. Like that infatuated monarch, Don Miguel may find that oaths " registered in Heaven" are not at all times broken with impunity, and that those who consider themselves above the oblige glom of human laws, may yet incur, even in the guilty splendour of their fortunes, the chastisement of Divine vengeance 1 We make these ob. servations without knowing what effect the news of the mighty events of which Fr a n ce has been the theatre, and which have created a new era in the civilized world, has produced on the banks of the Tagus. By the latest accounts which have reached us from that country, the perfidious candidate for such historical honours as grace the memories of the kindred spirits of Domitian and Caligula was indulging the innocent levity of his nature in frivolous pleasures, while his myrmidons con. tinued to insult the British flag, and to show by every means in their power their contempt for the united " wiWom and energy" which pre side over our foreign relations ! Will it be believed in after times that this despicable imitator of the worst models of regal imbecility and vice, should dare to treat with acorn the symbol of our naval glory, and to defy the power of Great Britain on her native element, while the gallant companion and patron of Nelson was on the throne, and the Hero of Waterloo at the head oilier Cabinet ! Yet so it is and even worse; for, as we are informed by our correspondent, and as some of the foreign Papers have stated, a special interest is taken in the promotion of the am bitious projects of this mindless reprobate by other Court. of Europe that ought to regard his connection as the last disgrace. We recol. lect the amiable coquetry of Lord Aberdeen last Session on the subject 01 the recognition of Don Miguel ; and we also recollect the Terceira tragedy; yet we were not prepared to hear, after all which has that new efforts are making to negotiate a treaty of marriage between the Infant Queen Donna Maria and her unnatural uncle, through the intervention of the great European Powers—grest they may call themselves, but in this transaction, if it be true, they look ex ceedingly little. It is added that this alliance is to be founded upon the exclusion of the Constitutional Charter, and that the Emperor Don Pedro, sensible of his inability to arrange mat ters in a more satisfactory way, has given to this project his reluctant consent. We hope, for the honour of human nature, there is no truth in this report. If any British Minister be engaged in such a transaction we are not acquainted with any terms strong enough to chaiacterlse his conduct. The patience with which our Oovemment have already borne the violence which he has been guilty of to British subjects, and the insults which he has heaped npon the British flag, has sufficlendy compromised the national dignity; but to make ourselves a party to measures the object of which is to se cure 'that throne to him which he has ascended by the grossest perjuiy and crime, and to give him a permanent triumph over the liberties of the people which he has trampled in the dust, would be so utterly senseless and degrading, that we can not believe, without evidence conclusive enough to support an im peachment, that any Minister in England would lend himself to it. —We must, therefore, suppose that, in this instance, England is tot included among the great European Powers, and that the wisdom of . OUT Cabinet is not, at least, chargeable with this weakness, or its morality tarnished with this contamination. In the mean time, the naval power of Don Miguel is allowed to pursue its plan of brigandage without remonstrance or control —or, if there is remonstrance on the part of our government, it is without effect. Our correspondent hints that the hopes of the Constitutionalists are raised by the repeated acts of aggression committed on our vessels, thinking that these repeated in sults to our flag will at length offend the British ministry beyond the power of longer endurance. But the government that suffered Russia to blockade the Dardanelles, after her solemn pledge to the con trary, arc qualified to bear a great deal. We had Statesmen once who Lade the name of an Englishman respected throughout the world, like that of " an old Roman ;" but those days, like the days of chivalry, are past. With regard to foreign aggression, our present race of Statesmen may exclaim, with Shakespeare's Jew—" for sufferance Is the badge of all our tribe." Yet will not our forbearance save Don Miguel from the fate which his insolence and his vices have provoked ? Perhaps by this time he sees, or fancies he sees, the cloud that bears the thunder darken upon the horizon of the country which his tyranny has desolated. SHICTFIELD 316acvarr.—The elections are now virtually over; with the exception of a few returns from 'friend, and as a matter of course a few duels at the end thereof, there remains but very little to do. The polling at the various places of contest has been conducted with greater propriety than those could have anticipated who know any thing about contested elections. There has been less drunkenness and fewer excesses than formerly, owing, in part, to the increased intelli gence of the electors, and partly to the light purses of the candidates. The returns are still more gratifying than the proceedings. There ap pears to be a determination among those who have votes, not to have them forced from them ; and we sincerely hope that this spirit of resistance to all unfair influence will become predominant.— A ministerial paper looked forward to the elections with great confidence, and predicted that near one hundred additional members would take their seats on the Ministerial side of the House of Commons. Where and from whence are they ? The elections have left the Duke of Wel lington weaker than before, and we are glad of it. He may conduct himself with seeming propriety so long as this is the case, but we con fess we should tremble, were he possessed of as much power and influ ence in the lower House as some of his predecessors had before him. Many intelligent and useful men have been returned, in the place of the Sir Thomas Lethbridges of the last Parliament—and others who will take into the House a practical knowledge of the evils of the country, have been elected in the room of Ministerial hacks. Wherever defeat was post sible Ministers have experienced it; and so general has this been, that Peel and Rejection might be synonymous terms. What ever influence, therefore, ministers will have, must be of that hidden and secret kind, the welkin' of which we profess not to understand, although it obviously " works well." They have none of the influence arising from a numerous, intelligent, and wealthy constituency ; all the places put together from which ministers and their tools have been sent, ate not equal to this town in population or importance. The House of Commons is not, however, so independent of minhkers, as of the nation. Let the people of England be fairly represented, and all the means to which ministers are said to have recourse for the purpose of corrupting members would be in vain; but till that is the case, we cannot place much confidence in the integrity of the Commons. Nothing could show more decidedly the unpopularity of the present administration than the recent elections. Mr. Canning was once spoken of as a member for West. minater, and had he been proposed there can be no doubt of his success. Can the same be said now of Al r.Peel ? Is there a place in England, except Westbury,Tamworth, or some such sink of corruption, that would not reject him? Is it not notoriousbut for the close boroughs, he could neither be in the House nor in the Ministry ? The family has beat defeated at Norwich and at Newesstle—not to mention Mr. Dawson's retreat from his Irish constituents. Perhaps there never was a Ministry that had more occasion to feel pleased with the Borough system than the pre sent; for had it not been that they could take refuge amongst the free and indepouleni electors of Tsmworth, Aldborough, dm few, if any, of those whose seats depended upon the elections would have been in Parliament. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From the Reneger des Chambres of Tuesday, Aug. 24.) Pea la, Au 0.513. The Act recognising the Republics of South America by the French Government, will appear, it Is said, about the end of this month. This measure, which has been so ardently desired, but in vain solicited, by our merchants and manufacturers, will, we have no doubt, have the most happy effect on our commercial prosperity. The next thing to be desired are the reasons for executing the important winks which still remain, of canals, roads, and bridges, and then constitutional France will have no reason to envy any country in the world. General Catnbrone, who so greatly distinguished him. self at Waterloo. is appointed, as we are assured, to the post of Governor of the fortress of Toulon. There are in the road 80 millions of gold and silver coming from the Regency of Algiers, 75 millions will be landed to-morrow, and the other five millions will be landed as soon as the vessel which has them on board has performed its qua rantine. This treasure will be lodged in the Arsenal, and placed under a respectable guard. OF THE COUNCIL OF STATE.—There is activity in the Govern. meat, as the full columns of the .lionikur daily prove ; but are the ob. jects of this activity well chosen ? For example, was there nothing more pressing than the re-composition of the Council of State in the midst of the urgency of so many other wants ? We firmly believe it, and as we wish to inform the Government, and not to embarrass it, we will not enumerate all these thousand things which should hove excited its solicitude rather than the Council of State. In our opinion the Council of State is a useful institution , of which liberty Itself may make use, but It requires other bases . It was judicious and reason. able to appoint a Commission as has been done, because this Commis. 'too may, by its labours, justify the institution in the eyes of well-dis posed persons, and give to the Council of State pledges of independence calculated to efface unpleasant recollections. It was by no means politic not to wait till the principles of our Mini. tution were laid down before choosing the persons of whom it was to be composed. You do not knew what the Council of State will be, and you nominate Councillors of State. This too much resembles the ancient mania of giving in public offices only positions for friendship and even for talent. ALGIERS, Atm. 3.—The son of General Bourmont has returned from Oran ' where the Bey is invested in the city by the Cabello, and the Tutks also will not acknowledge the King of France. Yesterday the 21st regiment of the line marched for Chall with a company of artillery, two field pieces, and fifty sappers. Already at the time that young N. de Bourmont was before than, fifty sailors had taken, partly by sur. prize, and partly because they were not resisted, the fort of Mersel.Kibir, which is three leagues from Oran, and commands the harbour. We hope a good issue or this expedition, which is confided to Col. oouthey, of the 21st. The vessels which carry it are the Spent, the Didon, and IphiFenie—Not a word is known of the return of the Oeneral.in.Chief to } ranee. However, some preparations for embarking the horses seem to indicate that i f news has been received it is every moment expected. Toy Lott, Auourr lb.—The following news, which 1 hasten to communicate to you, has just been spread :—" Sixty thousand Bedouins have come to attack Algiers. General Berthaene put himself at the brad of 15,000 men, and repulsed them." PARIS, AUGUST 23.—The Moniteller of to.day contains an CMS. MD= of the King, nominating hi. Odilon.Barrot Prefect of the De. psetment of the Seine. The Moniteur of Monday contains a letter from Ajaccio, in Corsica, dated 11th August, which describes the joy that had been excited there by the news of the late events in France. The whole city immediately displayed the tri.colosred Bag, and there had been illuminations every evening. A Commission, composed of Members of the Municipal Can cit. was engaged in organizing a National Guard. The pa lic tranquillity had not been a moment interrupt. A of the Municipal Council of Ajax's had addressed a letter es a r a rth to General Faverot, remonstrating with him on his not having &dung his obedience to the new Government., and at his still sulking a deg le be displayed on the citadel of Ajaccio alone, which is not tbs 11114( Gemmappe or of Fleureas, of Asada, or of Lodi, and which has been stained at Paris by the purest French bleed. They inform that if be longer defers to acknowledge the Government of Francs, die inhabitants of the department cannot any longer eassider him as Can. mender of the 17th military division. This renzensuanes had the de -1 sired effect; the tri.eoloured flag having been bated as the citadel at three o'clock in the afternoon of she 11th. The Miaanir gives like wise an account of the Proclamation of the King at Touloo, and at Amiens. _ _ GREECE. The following articles are from the Greek Courier, published at Eginar— Eottra, JUNZ 10.—Passengers and letters arrived here very M andy front Ent's'', mention that the Turks who were at Eutipos, in quitting the island, carried away several Christian women and children, with the intention of selling them in Thessaly as slaves. Naorxia, MAY 29.—Our anchorage at present shows a good num ber of vessels. Their Excellencies Admirals De Rigny, Heiden, and Rimed, are here, with their ships. There is also the Gloucester, an English vessel, of 80 guns. The day before yesterday, the admirals were present at a military parade outside the city. All the disposable fora was assembled, and two hundred horse came from Amos. The Cup deli was beautiful. The rocks surrounding the plain were crowded with people. Unfortunately, the rain drove away the amateurs, after spoiling some elegant toilets. Jums 4.—Admiral Count Heiden gave a =ricrac ball on Tues day last, on board hi s s hip. A tent, formed of of all colours, and decorated with exquisite t aste , occ u pi e d a part of deck. The deli. cious music, the gaiety of the party, and the a ff thility of the Admiral, made this a delightful fete, which closed with fireworks, and favoured by very fine weather. JUNE ll.—Admirals Rigny and Heiden are still here. General Schneider, Commander-in-chief of the French troops in the Mores, has also arrived In this city. It would appear that arrangements are about to be male for the evacuation of the territories respectively occupied by the Greeks end the Turks, conformably to the Protocol of February. Eozxa, Juwa 18—The French frigate Atalante, with the Baron Rouen on board, has arrived here from Athena. MAILATHONIIIIII.—On the 7th inst. the Russian vessel Wladimir, with the flag of his Excellency Rear Admiral Riootd, anchored in our harbour. The day after his arrival, his Excellency landed, and was pleased to attend, with his suite, the school of mutual instruction. His Excellency expressed his satisfaction to the masters and students, and left, on his departure, a present to the school of 70 colonnats." ROUE.V, Asw. 23. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE OE THE lIERALD•) _ _ It would appear from the extracts I find in the French Journals, from the English papers, that on your side of the water every thing that is passing in France is coukur de rose. Well ! lan speak of this pro vince, at least, the richest, and, perhaps, best in the whole kingdom. Sa pience et reserve is the motto of the Nomians, and they contemplate with vexation and fear the Utopian ameliorations that are projected in the ca pital. The following lines, copied from an Ultra-Liberal, or, more pro. perly, Republican paper, will explain what some persons are calling for —a quarrel with foreign Powers—Austria and Prussia, for instance—. upon the subject of universal liberty. This feeling, I fancy, will not be relished by John Bull. The words are :—" If we restore the Canto to Spain we shall only correct an injustice committed by ourselves. In bestowing a Constitution upon Naples, we shall revenge Austrian tyranny—but, to explain ourselves in more direct teems , we will say, that to succour a people in their struggle for liberty is a noble act ; it would be at the same time rendering service to ourselves and to the world. Europe is divided into two camps—the partisans of liberty, and those who wish for absolute power. Would it be natural that we, the more numerous and stronger, should see our fel low-creatures slaughtered in a sacred cause that belongs to us all ? Let us put aside that narrow policy which confines the present question within our own frontiers. Members of a French family, let us not forget that, in placing ourselves at the head of a universal regeneration, we spread over every country our right of nationality." Some, there. fore, wish to cross the frontiers, and renew those splendid and glorious actions of Bonaparte and his Generals; and it is not impossible that Louis-Philippe, with the best intentions in the world, may not have the power to stem the torrent, should it rush in that direction. The nation has now at the helm a Constitutional King, and an honest man ; a Charter modified upon liberal principles ; the national colours,that remind them of their glory; and are they not satisfied in having in a few days obtained what they have been fighting for this half century ? No, they are not satisfied —they demand a new 51agistracy. Only one month ago the Journals proclaimed the talentsand integrity of the Magistrates, and now the same individuals are declared incompetent and improper persons to admi. nister justice. The truth is, that their situations are wanted for others. In the same breath the people require that the Peers shall not be hereditary, and yet they resolve that the Princes of Ealing and Moskwa shall be created Peers—young men who possess no other merit save that which is derived from illustrious names. The people wish stew men for their De puties. Was it not the people who caused the Revolution ? Was it not the people who tore up the pavements, barricadoed the streets, took pos. session of the arsenal, the Tuileries, and are th e n ot to be represented in the Chamber of Deputies ? First, they exc the present Chain bee must be dissolved ! Next, that Members shah be admitted at 25 years of age; the right of eligibility, paying 1,000 francs taxes, ex cludes a great number of talented men-300 francs is quite enough to become eligible. Again the electors are not in sufficient number; they consist of thole only who pay 300 francs direct annual taxation.—the nation, therefore, is not represented. No—we must have universal suf. frage, or something approximating to it. Such is the 'enrage of the pa and of many, many individuals of a certain class. Merch us manufacturers, men of property, pray, and, no doubt, sincerely, that the present order of things should remain, but will they be able to prevent the people from establishing what they conceive to be their rights ? lam afraid not. Clubs, upon the old system, are already being formed in Paris, and these clubs may dictate orders to the higher departments, as they did in 1794. The number of disaffected persons increases, I may say, daily. These are the friends of King Henry, the Prefects, Sub-prefects, employes out of number, Magistrates who have lost their places, the Royal Guard that has been disbanded—(the latter have already offered some resistance to the ordi. nance--the ex-Ouard of Courbevoye, for example). Then comes another strong and more discontented party—the Priests orJesuits, if you please. They notonly insinuate,but exclaim in their churches " That the Clergy will be persecuted, that the places of devotion will be closed." The Curate of St Paul, in Rouen, made use of this language last Sunday, in the presence of a numerous congregation, and they are strengthened in these assertions by recent facts. Time immense crucifixes that were erected by the Missionaries in different places have been pulled down by the populace and destroyed. This has happened in many other towns—in Nimes, and on the 18th August at Rheims. To add to their grievances, they say that the clergy, in future, are to depend upon dub , parishioners, the Church of Rome having ceased to be the religion of the State • it is now only the religion of the majority of the French 'Divide. What I have written may not be palatable to the majority of your readers, but I have a duty to perform—to tell you what I know, see, and hear. Among the inhabitants of Paris who fell in the late con flict was M. Lamy, the proprietor of a scientific Journal of some cele brity. This gentleman received a musket ball in the breast, from which he died a few days afterwards, after having exclaimed, " Duke et de. carom est pro patria mori !" and he was buried with military honours. According to the French custom a funeral oration was pronounced over his tomb, by the ph ysician who had at. tended him, Doctor Cotter. We have extracted a pan of it, for the purpose of showing the laudable anxiety of well-intonned men in Paris to preserve order and to support the existing Government : " And we, Gentlemen, who still stand near the remains of the victim of treason, what lessons may we not learn over his grave. We may here learn, that victory to be complete must be unsullied ; and dist as we have been strong, we ought also to be magnanimous and just. Despotism is not the only enemy of the sacred rights of humanity, for anarchy is a hundred times more cruel. We swear then by you, noble remains of our brother, we swear to be united, and to stifle, in our minim arms, those two monsters. A suthcient quantity of blood and tears has been shed. Let us now close our ranks round the standard of glory; it is placed in the hands of the Chief whom our superior have pointed out, and whom our beans had already chosen. 'United to a man, let us every whew hold the language of peace. Yes, pace to the well.inten. stoned, but woe be to the seditious who shall again attempt toe= French. men against Frenchmen. Woe to the foreigner who shall endeavour to trouble our family festival. Roe to Liters, ! Viva le Hai des 'meads ! !" AitUNDEL.—The Prince Polignn's children have ar rived at the Countess of Newburgh's, Slindon House. They came from France with the ex-King, accompanied by a nurse and the Prince's valet (the nurse and vele are man and wife), and on landing proceeded direct to Slindon. The following narration of the mode of effecting their escape, as delivered by thy valet, may, perhaps, be in teresting. There are four children, two by a former wife (who was an English lady), and two by the present Princess. Their ages are 13, 10, and 6; the youngest is quite an infant. When the dis turbances broke out at Paris, the children, with their nurse and the valet, were at the Prince's country house, about 30 miles from Paris. Hearing that the King was on the road to Cherbourg, they determined on following him. They accordingly left the house at midnight, ha bited in the garb of poor persona, and hid themselves in an outhouse. At day-break they commenced their journey walking, and occasionally riding in carts, &e. as opportunities presented themselves. The valet sad nurse represented themselves as husband and wife (as rally the ease), and the children as their offspring. The valet had his marriage cartificate in his pocket. They were stopped at every town and village by armed men, and strictly examined ; but so well did they sustain the character they had assumed, that they were suffered to pro. pad without experiencing any inconvenience, and but little delay. In MO own the valet evinced great presence of mind. On the authority be. fare wheat they were taken examining the marriage certificate, and eheervlng the date, he looked at the two eldest children, and said— ' Why side certificate only bears date so and so, and yet your second child areast be less than ten or eleven years old." The valet hissaitody replied that he was sorry to be under the necessity.

LITERARY INTELLIGENCE. We have before expressed a very favourable opinion of the A.:.,t, • Journal, and the August number is peculiarly rich in articles interest. ing to those who wish to understand the situation of India, or who in dulge research almost into any department of Oriental Literature. Ti • first paper is on the much-disputed question of the " Revenue Systen of India," and is, in fact, an epitome of a work attributed to Mr. W. I: Bruce, of Bombay, on the "Stationary Condition of the Minden*. a. , d on the two most approved Revenue Systems of British India." Mr. Bruce rejects, as unsound, the opinion of Mr. Rickards and other• that the check to improvement arose from the tyranny of their Govern ment ; and deduces the chief efficient cause of the stationary conditlo in India, from " the mode, or rather the degree, in which the wants o the State would seem to have been always supplied"—that is, to the bin.. thensome amount of public imposts. Now, really, it appeals to us that the supposed conflicting theories here mentioned, are identical ; fo if, as Mr. Bruce says, the evil arises front a grinding taxation, then, we would ask, has not that arisen from tyranny and misgovernment ? There appears here a distinction without a difference. We do net think that the cause of the stagnation of liiiidoo improvement has been yet sufficiently accounted for by any writer ; but believe the prin. ciple of the Revenue System of India has been one cause of retardation. Mr. Bruce next examines the merits of the permanent Zensinda.ee and Ryotwar settlements of the Land Revenue in India. We have always considered, that what was called the permanent settlement. was based in injustice,and a disgraceful spoliation of the Hynes interests.—This Col WUks has made evident. The only merit of Lord Cornwallis's measur.• was—to inflict injustice, but render that injustice fixed and limited. I we understand Mr. Bruce, by this brief analysis of his work, he object • to it, not only on account of its improperly investing with property the Zemindars, but because it fixes a certain revenue from land which is necessarily always fluctuating in cultivation and produce. Therefore are we to understand that he begrudges that the power of exaction is checked—that the screw cannot be turned any farther ? This is a sub ject to which we have given some attention, and we wish we could fin I space here for the developement of our opinion ; but at present we can not. To conclude, however, on the subject, we may say that our opi nion coincides with that of Mr. Wilks and the present writer—tha• private properly in land existed always in India. The long accounts of the present state of the Arabic and Persian Press, and on the Pehlvi language, are no doubt valuable to the o.i i i 1 scholar. That on the Jews of Poland is generally interesting. Th.. " Review of a History of Assam" by a Minden, is certainly a curs. osity. In fact. there is really nothing in the number, but what must gratify every one to see,whether their acquirements enable th m t, rel t•li them or not, who take an interest in the progress of Oriental biteras cure in this country. The mass, too, of intelligence from all parts of India, at the conclusion is No ample, as to find readers wherever ther.t are found those who have relatives in India.

Where roses bloom in many a vale ; Where green-clad hills majestic stand, Where flowerets woo the scented gale; Where Surya, from hie throne above, With brightest colours paints the day, Where riplets rise to clasp their love, The eluding beams that o'er them play ; Where, when the Queen of silent night Graces the star•illumined hall, How on the heart her dewy light In streams o'erpowering e'er doth fall; Where mighty Ganges's billows now, And wander many a country by, 'Where ocean smiles serene below, Beneath thy blue and sunny sky; Where many sacred rivers lave Full many a wood or mountain green, Where pines and citrons towering wave In rural grandeur—stately seers. Land of the gods and lofty name; land of the fair and beauty's spell ; Land of the bards of mighty fame ; My native land ! for e'er farewell ! • The author of the above song is a young Hindu, named lasi. prasad (lose, who was educated at the Anglo.lndian College at Calcutta.

The Courier would have us believe that Charles X. had nothing to do with the fatal measures which led to his ruin, but dim they were the whole and sole act of his Ministers.

LAFAYETTE AND TIIE Ex-KlNG.—Coincidences are much sought after, hut there is one which has hitherto escaped notice, namely, that Gen. Lafayette and Charles X. were born in the same year—Lafayette on the Gth of Sept. 1737, and Charles, the ex " 51e.t Christian 3lajesty," on the 9th of Oct. 1757. There is little other re. semblance between these two men.
