w ill engr4ve more and more in the mind the indispensible necessity of the Jury, as a part of the guarantees, w ithout which the liberty of the press will be always a fiction. Seeing these results, so im portant so society, those who have brooch . them tout do hot think them ton dearly purchased by a niontb's imprisonment and a fine of .500 francs. - - The Ministers continue to deny that they have thought of Coups /'Eton, and of an additional article to the Charter. The denials of the areetie take a mote open character. As the Opposition Jour nals have penetrated into the guilty rrojects, the Ministers seem to retreat : they fear that France, instructed in time, will oppose an energetic resistance to the follies of the Court. We do not say that they have completely given up such projects, they have only delayed the period of execution. The citizens ought, therefore, to be watchful still, fur the blew may in truth be given at the very moment when it is least expected. FRENCH FUNDS. Five per Cents, 109 f. 108 f. 80c.

Although these combinations, which have been rendered necessary by the folly of the Court and ultra-Royalist faction, bring to recollection the jacobin clubs of 1789, still there is a marked difference between those who composed them. From all that has hitherto trans pired, it would appear that names distinguished above all others for their love of order and hatred of revolutionary ex cesses, figure conspicuously in these patriotic enrolments: and that men of extensive territorial property—Nobles of the first sank and fortune in the land—are constantly acceding to these associations, at Rennes, at Grenoble, at Anjou, and in all the provinces. This remarkable fact has—we are assured—smitten with terror both the Court and Cabinet. Would it be possible to give a more striking illustration of the settled • determination in France, to re- sist the insane projects of the anti-liberal faction ? We insert a letter signedPoLuc, written in a spirit of candour and great good sense, on the state of the country. In the passage, where the writer alludes to the Roman Catholic Relief Bill, we understand him as not by any means objecting to the measure itself, but questioning the sincerity of so great and sudden a con version of the Parliamentary mind, as in that instance was remarkably displayed. In such an impugnment, we confess that we take part with Pou.lo, and attribute to any thing but an honest conviction the abstract stimu lating motive to such an extensive change of opinion: a change that sprang up in a single night, and came upon the country full-grown, with the excrescential celerity of a fungus: operated, as our Correspondent phrases it, almost at the beck of an individual. We cannot re frain from this explicitness, the more especially as we placed upon record our satisfaction at the event itself : but we should be sorry if that satisfaction could be ever inter preted to extand to the corrupt and unconstitutional influence, by which even so grand a desideratum has been brought about. The great rewards, which are yet unpaid, and the promised honours which are• yet unbe stowed—though the time for payment and creation ap proaches—have not escaped our cognisance : and it is the reflection, that this power to corrupt may be employed in the furtherance of ,detrimental and destructive plans— as it inevitably will be, if we do not forthwith extir pate the proprietary principle—which urges us to re gister our condemnation of the motive, while we rejoice in the accident of the act. The pedestal of the Noble Duke's preponderance is the dunghill of Borough corrup tion : the pedestal of his own victories had been worthier of him. But he has descended from the one, and the other must be dashed from under him. We have given insertion, in .another part of our paper, to an admirable article on the Sonnets of SnAKsraitat from the New Monthly Magazine: It is subscribed with the initials of on? unrivalled THOMAS CAMPBELL ; and indeed through every line of this exquisite and delightful criticism, the master of the mo dern lyre—not one moment to be mistaken • in his sympathies-rdeliiers his judgment ex eathedrd: It appears that a friend of Mr. CAMPBELL had furnished a paper to the Maoixime in . which he had laboured with great—diongh * i fteinftritd . inetuity, to prove that a great lids rssected , ,npon Susiiiis.tta's habits and orcuPstiowl• loin the Ei00140. 1 . of *it .3440;tai bard.

The first Bulletin, last Tuesday :—(Nov. 10,) at eight r. as. his Majesty was seised with a shivering fit; which was followed. dur ing the night, by a fever fit. In the morning it appeared that his Majesty's indisposition Was an ague, caused by his having twice taken cold. The disorder has since taken its usual course. From the beginning there has not been, in any organ, any symptom of dixase or inflammation ; and during the last three days and nights the fever has gradually abated. Though his Majesty feels himself rather debilitated by the continuance of the fever, we hope that the disorder will soon take a favourable turn. (Signed) Nov. 16, 1819. CREIGHTON RAUSH.

(Signed) Nov. 17. CREIGHTON RAUSCH. A Lisbon Gazette, of the 21st Nov. received this morning, contains a Decree of Don Mit; um, for the suppression of the crime of sacrilege, and robbery of Churches. This crime having become very frequent of late, it is absolutely necessary to adopt prompt and effectual measures for its suppression. Rewards are therefore affixed for the discovery of the criminals, and the Judges are directed to proceed to their trials without "any delay, and they are not in any case whatever to alter or modify the penalties imposed by the laws. Those who shall purchase effects stolen from churches, or be re ceivers of the same, shall incur the same penalties. We have Hamburgh Papers to the 28th Nov. this morning. Their most interesting notices are to the following effect ,: _ _ BERLIN, Nov. 25. On the 15th of this month, Baron Alexander Von Humboldt ar rived at St. Petersburgh, after having performed a journey of 15,000 (10,000 English miles.) He was received by his Majesty the Emperor in the most gracious manner; was honoured teith the Order of St. Anne, of the first class, with the Imperial Crown. Professors Ebrenburg and Rose received from his Majesty the Order of St. Anne, of the second class. In the course of this year's navigation, 1,020 ships arrived at Dantzic. On the 19th Inst. the Vistula was frozen over in several places, and passable on foot. On the same day, the cold at Koala& was 10 deg. FROM THE WESER, Nov. 24. It is positively affirmed that the Committees of the Diet of- the Du. by of Brunswick has proposed the partial abolition of the very onerous Personal tax, which was first introduced during the exist ence of the kingdom of Westphalia. The admirable administration of the public treasury, and the gradual redemption of the debts, afford the possibility of dispensing with this tax. No doubt is en tertained that his Serene Highness, always desirous to render the welfare of his subjects, will accede to a proposal which Is so agree able to their wishes. 'The Estates had besides granted this tat for three years may, which• have long since expired ; and it ought therefore to hate teased, or to have been granted anew. AGRAM, Nov. 14.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES. TO THE EDITOR - V I/ Pr - Di EVENING STAR. SIR—To a man of a thinking and observing mind, the state of his country must always be a subject of the deepest in terest ; yet the very interest be feels often renders him incapable of judging discreetly of her affairs. To the sides of those who proclaim her prosperity the ears of most people are open, and the tidings of her increasing wealth and spreading influence are received so greedily as to allow little time to examine their justice : while should one wiser or bolder, mistaken or more fearful, as the event may prove, than his fellows, dare for a moment to direct their at tention to those damning proofs, which arise on every side, to rouse from their supine security those who have closed their ears to all but favourable representations, he is stigmatized by them with the epithet of croaker, and considered as desiring those evils which he only foresees and regrets. It thus becomes the duty of those who have the public ear, I mean the press, to warn the people of all that in its prospects forebodes misfortune, and to rejoice with them over all that in its effects proves beneficial—to tell them that " all that glitters is not gold"—to tell the people of a free country, possessing a consti • tudon that: has been tried by the test of time, that by themselves and none other can that constitution be destroyed ;—that cor ruption alone can undermine its foundations, and that, so long TO they remain firm and true to their own interests, ministers may in vain dictate—ln vain oppress : for so long as they and their re presentatives remain proof against bribery, liberty must protect and prosperity advance the interests of themselves and the glory of their country. It is pleasant to tell, and gratifying to reflect on all this, but we have in our own time seen much that may excite in us far kw pleasing reflections. It is a painful necessity, but it is necessary that we should not omit to notice disagreeable, while we dwell with gratification on agreeable, " signs of the times." We have seen one country divided, and another, an old ally, invaded and disabled by—as all must confess--a and a grasping power ; and they are not few nor foolish, who look upon this as an advance to oar Indian possessions : front those very possessions, the sound if a deep and pervading murmur of dissatisfaction has just reached our shores. We have seen the throne of another ancient ally seized by an obnoxious and detest able usurper against all this, Ragland—which was wont to be the friend of the oppressed and the mister of the right—has entered no decided protest. Indeed, with respect to the last-men• tioned affair, not contented with tacit connivance, our Ministry are about to place the last stamp to their baseness or imbecility by neurally acknowledging the Portuguese tyrant as a lawful sove reign ! 0 We have seen, too—though last-mentioned, not toast re markable—the great part of our Commons and Lords change their opinions upon a subject of the most momentous importance, almost at the beck of an individual : why they changed, they best know, and their co nsciences can best answer. If these thing., Mr. Editor, be not worthy the consideration of every nun, I, at least, am mistaken in the spirit which reigns In the bosoms of my countrymen ; and those who think them not worth attending to, I would remind that the name of " Roman"—which was once the boast and glory of every possessor of it—afterwards became a by-word and mockery to the nations of the earth. Let them take heed, that the name of Briton do not. POLLIO. • We can tell our Correspondent that Ministers are pausing in this.—En. STAR. -- FASHIO*ABLE INTELLIGENCE. CH~B3.

Such a plan would be worthy of the liberality of the present day, and there would be something noble and chivalrous in letting those who may probably hereafter be our antagonists, thoroughly understand the strength of the defences they may be destined, at some future time, to attack.—Quobee Mercury. seanxmanithth Despatches were sent off by a messenger yesterday evening, from the Colonial Office, for Sir FREDERICK ADAM, the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands.
