Sounzas!—The struggle of liberty against despotism is about to recommence in our beautiful and unfortunate country! Thus this family wills it, that for the last forty years has been the scourge of France. By fifteen years of folly, of crimes and perjury, it has for ever destroyed the hopes of seeing it abjure its old hatred and stupid prejudices. The horrible Administration which it has imposed upon us is, at one and the same time, the most grievous outrage, and the most cruel menace. The national resignation and longanirnity are exhausted. From the banks of the Rhine to the shores of the ocean, from the plains of Belgium t• the summits of the Pyres nets, universal indignation exclaims, " Let us finish with these Basabons." You know, and the years 1789 and 1815 bear witness, that the cowards are incapable of any thing but flight, and basely begging gold and soldiers of foreign countries. Whence do they derive then the audacity that now animates them? Brave Warriors! They rely upon you to repress all re sistance to their abominable projects! It is with your arms that they threaten your fellow-citizens, your friends, your brothers, your fathers, whose whole crime consists in wishing for repose, order, liberty, and equality of rights and duties. The madmen insult you by believing that you would drench cities in blood ; that you would ravage the country, that Jesuits and Capuchins might perform their fanatical processions in triumph, and that the gentry might find serfs. This is precisely what they expect of you, and, to command you the same, they give you a traitor for your Commander-in-Chief, who, if justice were done, would not deserve the death of a soldier, but the gallows, in front of your ranks. Children of France I—You will dinppoint so parricidal an at tempt. You will never consent to assassination. Your arms, which were during so long a time covered with glory, will not be degraded by an alliance with our oppressors. They will, of coupe, talk to you of your duties, this being the name they give to the numerous crimes they command. You all know that the duty of a soldier is to fight and to repulse foreigners; but when he strikes his fellow citizens be is no longer anything else but a common hangman. The anathemas of humanity consign him to infamy. Soldiers !—Tbe people are not desirous of renewing scenes of horror. They do not wish to erect scaffolds again —no, not even for great criminals. Let them fly again ! all the roads are open to them. Let them go with their Confessors and minions to con tinue In foreign countries that reign which France will bear no longer, and which has excited the scorn of all Europe. The moment approaches. Soldiers, think of your country's hap piness, and the gratitude of posterity. ~~ ~t BOOKS PUBLISHED THIS DAY. i This day was published, second Edition, altered and enlarged, Demy I ilmo. price 41. 6d.

The column of the right wing is marching on Itodosto, and appears to have the intention of taking possession of the Darda nelles by land, which will be easy enough. That of the left wing is advancing along the borders of the Black Sea, probably to rake possession of the Bosphorus. There, at the same time, the Russian squadrons will make their appearance on both sides, and the centre column will march direct to Constantinople. From the last ac counts it was near to Dsjatal Burgas. Notwithstanding the me nacing position of the enemy, within these two days an arnthitice has been talked of, and even a peace. What is certain is, that for this fortnight the Private Secretary of the Prussian Ambassador has been at the Russian head-quarters with a dragoman to effect an armistice. A general levy calls to arms all the Turks under 60 years of age —all must place themselves under the Sacred Standard, which it was wi.hed should be carried to-day into the camp near Ramis Tschifiik, but the ceremony has not yet taken place. Every thing appears to favour the general wish, that of a peace, or at least an armistice. The Russian army is considered to amount to 50,000 men. If that is true, it would net be without danger fur it to enter a ca pital the population of which is eight times the number, and which is fanaticised by an energetic Prince. It was stated lately to the Sultan that the Russians threatened the capital. 4. What matters," replied his Highness; have riot all the capit.l4 of Europe seen enemy's troops in them? I will carry on the war till the last man, sooner than conclude a disgraceful peace !" It is reported that the day before yesterday the Sultan had a Pacha strangled, who commanded near the Bosphorus, as be was suspected of treason. The few Turks of an age fit to carry arms who are in our city (as the others are in the camp) form patrols and parade during the night, to protect the inhabitants from fire and other excesses. A REAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS. — There is IX. not, perhaps in the whole Mated& Medica, any one remedy which so effectually relieves the pain of a suffering patient as the A M P.RICAN SOOTHING SYRUP. Who can watch the writhing tortures into which a lovely infant is often convulsed during the period of dentition, without feeling sympathy for its sufferings? and who would hesitate to procure a remedy. when a. remedy can be found, which is obvious by the effectual rend afforded in so many distressing cases which are daily coming to the notice of Mrs. JOHNSON? Therefore, Mothers ought never to he without the AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP in the Nursery ; for if a Child awakes in the night with pain, by only rubbing the gums with a few drops of the Syrup, it will intim& ately open the pores, heal the gums, and thereby prevent fevers and convulsions; for should it come in competition with any other disorder, it often destroys the mother's brightest hopes.

That Thomas, Lord Berkeley, was summoned to Parliament in 23 Edward I. ; that it he was so summoned, in respect of a " per sonal dignity," it was created either by writ or by letters patent ; that the dignity of a Baron was nut created by letters patent before 11 Richard II.; and consequently if Thomas and his successors, prior to 11 Richard 11. sat in respect of a personal dignity, it must have been a personal dignity conferred by writ, and as such it would have descended to the heirs of the body of the person possessed of such dignity. 3d. That the dignity in respect of which Thomas was summoned to Parliament, 23 Edward L as Baron de Berkeley, did not, in the sth Henry V. descend to the heir general of the said Thomas, nor did such heir assume the title. 4th. That the person" seized the baronial estates" sat in Parliament as Baron de. Berkeley, in exclusion of the person who would have been enti tled to the baronial dignity, hi case such dignity had been "per sonal ;" except during a period of 62 years, when the baronial estates were vested in the Crown, and the way seignory conse quently suspended. Sth. That such of the Barons Berkeley as were not in possession of the baronial estates, and who were sum moned to Parliament by writ, in and subsequently to 14 Henry VIII. were not considered u entitled to sit in the seat' of the preceding Barons de Berkeley; but when they became seized of the baronial estates, they then resumed the ancient seat of their predecessors. 6th and last. 'that the petitioner is seized of the castle, lands, and tenements constituting the barony. In support of these allegations reference is made to a stream of documents from the reign of Richard I. when all Berkeley Hernesse was granted to Maurice de Berkeley and his heirs, to be holden of the King "in barony" down to 1810, when the lat« Earl of Berkeley, under whose will the petitioner be came seized of the barony, died. It is submitted that the question upon the above state of facts is not whether a person holding a portion (not being the copra) of a barony is entitled to a seat in the Lords' House of Parliament—nor is it whether a person seized of an entire barony, or of the await baronial, in respect of which no individual has ever been summoned to Parliament, could now maintain a claim to be so summoned; —nor is it whether a territorial dignity, which has long been dis continued, should now be revived? but the question is, whether the claimant is not entitled to the continuance of the pri vilege of being summoned to Parliament in respect of the barony of Berkeley. in like manner as the holders of that barony were summoned to Parliament during the reigns of Edward I. 11. II I. Richard 11. Henry IV. V. VL Edward IV. V. Richard 111. and a part of Henry VII. Philip and Mary ; Elizabeth ; James I. Charles I. and part of Charles 11. The claim, so founded, it is argued, is very much the UM* as that of John Fitz Alan to the title of Earl of Arundel, and that of Sir Edmond Neville to the title of Lord Abergavenny. It is contended that no change is proposed by it in the constitution of the Lords' House of Parliament, but merely the reinstatement of one of its most ancient members,—the Baron de Berkeley, as a baron by tenure. It may be observed, that the principles upon :which the decisions in the cases of the Earl of Arundel and of the Baron of Abergavenny are supposed to have proceeded have been qoestiontri by the subsequent decision in the case of the Lord Fox Walter. But with respect to the allowance of the claim of the Earl of Arundel, it is contended that the distinct recognition, by the Act of 3 Charles 1. cap. 4. of the doctrine upon which that decision proceeded, has given to it an authority which nothing short of legislative declaration can weaken ; and as to the allow lance of the claim of Sir E. Neville to the barony of Abergavenny, though it has not the sanction of equal authority as that of the earl dom of Arundel, yet, as a decision in the reign of James I. who I was very advers« to such claims, it is, front that circumstance, entitled to more than ordinary weight. It has been observed that • this decision was founded on a compromise or amicable arrange ment; but in answer to that, it is only necessary to state, that the barony was claimed by Sir E. Nevibe as as a barony by tenure,' and as such he must have obtained it, or be could not have been ' entitled to that precedence which was allowed him by the House ; for as a " personal dignity" it was neither in him nor in his ' competitor, Mary Pane, but in the heir at law of John Earl of Pembroke. With respect to the claim of the Barony of Fi•zwalter, in 1669, the counsel of Robert Cheeke, who opposed the claim of Benjamin Mildmay (afterwards Lord Fitzwalter) affirtned, that the barony was a barony by tenure, and ought to go along with the land, which the petitioner, Benjamin Mildmay, de flied, and offered to argue the point ; upon which, both parties bring ordered to withdraw, the nature of a barony by tenure was discus-ed. It was !flood to have been discontinued for many ages. and therefore not fit to be revived, or to admit any pretence of right ur succession thereupon; and the pretence of a barony by tenure was declared, fur weighty reasons, not to be insisted on. In reference to this decision, it is alleged, that whatever respect may be due to the opinion thus given by the Privy Council, yet it is not entitled to prevail, if at variance with the sound construction of an Act of Parliament, then and still in force; and It appears from the Act of 13 Charles 11. cap. '24. see. 11, that uothing is that Act was " to infringe or hurt any title of honour, feudal or other, by which any persrin bad or might have right to sit in the Lords' House of Parliament, as to his or their title of honour, or sitting in Parliament, or the privilege belonging to them as Peers." The only feudal right to a *eat in the Lords' House of Para anent must necessarily be founded in tenure; and the Lords Spiritual were then sitting in the Lords' House of Parliament, in respect of their temporal baronies by tenure, as was the Baron of Abergavenny, in respect of his land barony ; and the Baron de Berkeley was sitting, above many other Baton, in respect also of such tenure ; and it is material to observe, that Mr. Cbeeke did not show that he held any lands that could constitute such a barony, or that ever formed a part of the territorial barony of Fitz- Walter. With reterence, theretore, to the present claim, It is contended that nu cases can be more distinguishable than Colonel Berkeley's and that of Mr. Cheeke. The former claimed the privilege, as in continuance of ancient and almost invariably-continued usage ; the latter insisted on the privilege, without adducing, au far as can be traced, evidence of even the possession of any lands that could constitute a barony by tenure. In thus claiming the land or territorial Barony of Berkeley, the petitioner distinctly declares, that he doe's not meats to " wave ;" but on the contrary, " saves and reserves to himself his claim to any other dignity to which, in ail other right, he may be entitled," evidently alluding to the Karl dons of &auk', of which he was deprived by the decision of the Howe of Lords in 1 cal 1, . The petitioner's prayer is, that a writ of summons," to attend in Parliament, might be iddreued to him, by the style, title, and dignity of Baron Berkeley, of Berkeley. • Witb reference to precedency.

Never were the Ministerial Journals filled with more vulgar ca lumnies than since the men of the Court have been at the head of affairs. It might be imagined that these representatives of the an cient regime could find nothing better with which to defend their ideas than the science of their valets-de-chambre and the rhetoric of their lacqueys. Even when they lay pretensions to reasoning, they cannot construe an argumqo without seasoning it with ca lumny and abuse; and it seems as if they would be reduced to silence if they were condemned to speak the truth. It is particularly against the men who enjoy the esteem of their fellow-citizens that the Ministerial writers vomit forth their abuse, or distil the venom of calumny. The water the homage which is paid to a man by the public, either because of the services he has rendered hie country, or from the celebrity which he has acquired by his talents, the more is he subjected to the seurtility of the writers hired by the Ministry. Isl. de Lafayette is treated by them as if the popularity which he so justly enjoys had been usurped to the prejudice or M. de Bourmont ; and M. de Chateaubriand, as if be had stolen the talents of M. de la Bourdonnaye. If in these attack. there was only wickedness, they would not deserve the least attention from us; for, in fact, what is abuse to the man of categories and droops of blood, and wilt is calumny to the man of Waterloo ? e But there is not wickedness only in these attacks, for above air there is a great want of address on the part of the individuals who are the depositaties of power, and who wisi tb preserve it. How is it that the Ministers do not seevhat, by in.ulting a man because of the homage paid to him by the public, they really insult those who partake his opinions, and who do honour to hint? It is not upon Lafayette' that the insults of the Ministerial Journals NI, it is upon the vopulitiwn of Grenoble, Lyon., and all the places through which be fassell ; it is upon the immense numbers of citizens who entertain his opinions. We may also say, that it is not upon the Deputies of the left side only that the insults of the Ministerial libelists fall, for they apply equally to all the citizens who have honoured theni with their suffrages, and upon those who have bestowed their esteem upon them. Admire the candour and skill of the Bourdonnaye 'Ministry ; it every day insults the inhabitants of our most industrious cities; it treats them like a knot of revolutionists, whose movements , should be continually watched; it causes them to be daily insulted by the men who represent it, and even in consequence of the homage paid by the people. In short, it exhibits upon every occasion the contempt and hatreej which It has for manufacturing skill and in order to prove that not possible to find such another good Mi nistry, it assumes a wheedling tone, and endeavours to show that it is the natural protector of commerce and industry. The Ministry manifests the most violent hatred against the re volution ; there is no abuse, no insult which they do not heap upon the men who contributed to effect it; it attributes the most sinister intentions to them, and declares them incapable of taking any part in the Government ; and not these only, but all the men who share their principles ; and then, after hurling calumny and menace. Gallon the sycophant endeavours to imitate the voice of the shep herd. He alone, he says, is capable of caking care of the flock ;he will protect acquired rights; as if the greater part of those rights were not the conquests of the Revolution; and as if those laws which recognise and guarantee them were not the work of that same revolution which they hold in horror! The Bourdoonaye Ministry Is at open war with letters, the arts, and the sciences. Every man who has distinguished himself by his talents becomes an object of suspicion to it, and is placed under a special surveillance. He is treated as a public enemy, and is watched by convicts who have escaped from transportation. No exception is made in favour of any species of learning—the man who has dis tinguished himself at the bar is used in the same way as the pro fessor of history. The professor of literature is not suspected less than the professor of philosophy ; and after they have been placed under surveillance, or have been insulted by the Journals, the Mi nistry says it is the only one which can possibly exist, because it encourages arts and letters, which would be proscribed by the Ja cobins as superfluous ornaments. We would ask, however, which class of society is it that the Ministerial Journals hope to deceive by this whimsical mixture of insult and conciliation, of promises and menaces? Engendered by the hatred of revolution, and by foreign influence, the Miniateir In vain attempt to conceal their origin : they are betrayed by their words every day, and by every act of their life. If France exhibit sentiments of admiration or esteem for a man, he immediately be comes an object of hatred and antipathy. If France wish for the development of the arts, of industry, or of commerce, that suffices to cause the men by whom the liberal and industrial arts are cul tivated to be insulted with the epithet of Revolutionists. If the warriors who always remained faithful to France, and who always fought for her independence, receive the homage of the public, they are attacked by the Ministerial writers as if they were highwaymen or revolutionists. In short, there Is a decided contrast between the sentiments and the opinions of France, apd the sentiments and opinions of the men of the Ministry. These men may assert the contrary so lung as the question is one of ge neralities only; but the moment they come to apply it, they be tray themselves, and they are found to be remarkable for nothing but for prejudices and animosities relative to emigration, insur gent., and foreigners. Are these the requisites for a Ministry according to the Charter, and according to the laws framed by the Revolution? The Gazele insists that it is, and even says, that it is the " only posaibk .Ministry." If it were to say that it is the only impossible Ministry, it would be much nearer the truth. A few days ago the Prefect of Police caused a woman to be apprehended, and even had her secretly conducted out of France by thegend'armerie. An Advocate belonging to the Bar of Pa ris, whom she had retained as Counsel, but who was nix allowed to communicate with her, has protested against this expulsion, on the ground that the woman was not a foreigner, or, at least. that she could not legally be sent out of the country until her condition had been judicially proved. A Ministerial Journal, the Quolidienne, to-day replies to this pro test : it says that this woman, three years ago, exercised a very sae piciom sort of industry in the department of Jura, where she had the title of Countess of Bellafonda, widow of Aboul-Khan, Prince of Nlaiesour ; that having no ether doctnnent than a false passport, and not having any visible means of existence, she was taken briery the Correctional Tribunal of Lons le Sauhder, which condemned her to three months' imprisonment ass vagabbed. and placed her at the disposal of the Government. She appealed, against the sentence, and having proved that she lived by her industry, she was acquitted by the tribunal of Besaecon ; and that the counsel for the crown ap pealed against this latter decision, but his appeal was rejected.— Atter giving this statement, the Ministeriallournal adds :—" Since that period no more was heard of the Princess of 31.issour ; but the Prefect of Police, who had his reason. for watching the son duct and behaviour of her Royal Highness, has thought proper to snake her have a change of air, and, exercising Isis riga* against coer,y foreigner, has bad her conducted post to the truntiers." We do not know what is the character of the woman upon whom the Ministerial Journal jokes so agreeably, and so d propos ; but what is evident is, according to tha m:per, that this woman was accused of vagrancy, and finally was acquitted. Now the article 272 of the Penal Code says—" The individuals declared vagabonds by conviction may, it they are foreigners, lie con ducted by order of Government out of the territory of the kingdom.'' Thus it was aeceaaary that the winn.n banished by the Prefect of Police, even suppostug ter to he a foreigner, should have been convicted of stagaroidage. She was acquitted of the accusation which charged her with such an offence, by a formal decision ; and yet the Prefect of Police has disposed of her , as if .he had been convicted. Is not this a grave attempt' against individual security ? If the Prefect of Police can, without the iti tervention of law, act according to hi. own good wiil and pleasure, can it be said that there is any guarantee for individual liberty ? (aniartutionssel.
