SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS. Tim es.—The olehwe in the Chamber of Deputies on that part of the French Charter which relates to religion, has not been so well reported as is importance seems to require. From the Paris papers which contain the most detailed accounts of what passed, it appears that after the Chamber adopted the sth article, which is thus ex presseil,—., Every individual professes his religion with equal liberty, and obtains the same protection for his worship,"— the President stated that the Committee had proposed the •atppression of the 6th article. The words of this article are,—" However, the Catholic Apostolic and Roman reli gion is the heligior of the State." The proposition of the committee, with regard to this article, appears to have been agreed to without much debate, though it is stated that when the question was put, about thirty deputies, who composed the whole of the right and part of the centre right, voted against it. Article 7, v:hich created a warm discussion, the committee proposed toexpress thus The ministers of the Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman re ligion, professed by the majority of Frenchmen, and those of the other Christian sects only receive salaries from the royal treasury." The whole of this article was opposed, but the words in italics were particularly objected to. It was observed that there was no neceasityfor pronouncing solemnly that the Catholic religion is professed by the majority of the people of France. To declare in the Charter a fact—and a fact, too, which is in its nature variable, which might, in a certain number of years, be altered—was, in the opinion of se. veral of the speakers, extremely absurd. The justice of this opinion was not disputed, but it was contended that the whole article ought to be retained, on the ground merely of expediency, because there was reason to believe that its rejection would enable the enemies of the new order of things to mislead the ignorant population of some of the departments,—the Chamber would be represented as intending to suppress religion altogether. 111. Keratry stated, that in tact the Committee had been influenced by this consideration in making their report. They felt it their duty to expunge the ankle which declared the Catholic religion the religion of the state ; but having done that, it was considered necessary to retain the next article. He was convinced it ought to be retained, on account of the western departments, where the Chamber had many enemies, who would like nothing better than to have the opportunity of representing the deputies as hostile to morality and religion. After several amend ments had been proposed and rejected, the discussion terminated by the article being retained with two amendments. The word only was left out, and the words Royal Treasury were changed to Public Treasury. CHRONICLE.—The paramount interest and importance of the triumphant progress of freedom in France, has in some measure, diverted public attention from scenes at home, which otherwise could not have failed to arrest it. But we must not suffer ourselves to lose sight of the elating prospect which so many of the late elections have opened to the friends of liberty in this country, and its our Colo. nice. The return of Mr.Brougliam for the first county in the empire, is in Itself a guarantee for the moral influence which will be given in the new Parliament to the cause of general Liberty, and eminently and avowedly to that of Negro Emancipation. The success of Mr. Robert Grant at Norwich, and of numerous other liberal candidates elsewhere, is a further earnest of that triumph which freedom and humanity must ere long wrest from selfishness, bigotry, and tyranny. In one quarter only can the Anti-Abolitionists pretend to a seeming and slim-lived victory. hit. Protheroe has been defeated at BristoL But how defeated ? In that emporium of the West Indian interest, after an outlay in direct pecuniary means of influence, not falling short, as we are credibly in formed, of 20,0001.--after recourse, on the part of the great merchants, to an almost universal system of coercion and in timidation, wherever their power of patronage and dicta tion could make itself' felt—a small majority only has been obtained against the cause of humanity, and 31r. Protheroe has retired from a victorious defeat, after polling 2,843 votes—" a number never be. fore approached by an unsuccessful candidate." We cannot but re gard this as an omen of final ►uccess, scarcely less animating than minor victories. Our only regret is, that a gentleman who, whilst he was in Parliament, so undeviatingly pursued the course of liberal politics, whose name is found in nearly every minority with that of BIN flume and the other advocates of freedom, retrenchment, and reform, should, even for a time, be excluded by a faction, whose only argument is their purse, from continuing his useful and meri torious labours. fixitat.n.—The Prime Minister must, by this time, we should think, have. discovered, what his " parasites" appear hitherto to have been but too successful in concealing from him, that the prin ciples of his government are not those which accord with the wants or the notions of the country at large. The country has been ap pealed to, and, wherever its true sentiments have been fairly put to the test, the result has been unequivocally expressed in the rejection of every candidate who has ventured to ground his pretensions upon a thick and thin adherence to the ministry. Even the just and unex ampled popularity of their new master has not in the least aided the Duke of Wellington and his colleagues upon the occasion : but the people, though proud and anxious to pay every due homage to the King,seem notless determined to convince both the King and his Mi nisters that the measures of the latter have not hitherto been such as to render them or their satellites the men of their choice. The ablest man upon earth cannot long attempt to wield the sceptre of a popu lar government in opposition to public opinion. His Grace has made the attempt, perhaps unknowingly.—at any rate, he and his colleagues can plead ignorance no longer. Public opinion is now speaking " trumpet-tongued " a language which cannot be mis understood ; and we trust that, even before the assembling of the New Parliament, the Government will have given such an earnest of its intentions to meet the wishes of the people as will spare the Legislature the apparently ungracious task of placing the unpopu larity of the Ministers in still stronger contrast with the just popu larity of the King. PosT.—The King of the French has accepted the conditions upon which the Crown was offered him, and has sworn faithfully to ob serve the Constitutional Charter, with the changes and modifica tions expressed in the Declaration of the Chamber of Deputies. What then is that Declaration ? What support does it offer to the Throne ? What guarantee, or rather, we ought to ask, what gleam of hope of its stability ? It can scarcely be pretended that the Char. ter of Louis the Eighteenth left in the hands of the Kings of France any great excess of legal power or constitutional influence,after we have seen the last of these Monarchs, unable, by all the means they afforded him, to assert with effect a Royal prerogative common to every Crown. But by the Declaration to which Phillip the First has sworn, much of the constitutional power which Charles the Tenth enjoyed and exercised is taken away, while new and very formidable powers are given to other bodies in the State, between whom and the Sovereign diversity of objects and opinions may arise any day, and are morally certain ro arise at no distant day, some of these bodies being expressly designed to superintend and overawe the Throne. We cannot therefore disguise our apprehension that this di. minution of the independent powers of the Crown, combined as it is with an increase to that of several rivet and antagonist bodies in the State, will be fatal to Monarchy in France. The means and temp tations to attack it are carefully prepared. The power of resistance is wholly taken away. By the mention of a few of the more impor tant alterations of the Charter, we shall amply vindicate ourselves from the imputation of indulging in vain or chimerical apprehen sions. The Crown is in the first place to be deprived of what. ever support it could derive from the connexion of the Church with the State. Then, the initiative of laws is no longs to be exclusively a function of the Crown. In the third place, the King is no longer to possess the power of restraining the members of his own family from attending the Chamber of Peers, and making themselves, if they please, the leaders of factions in that assembly, although every Prince of the Blood is to be a Peer by right of birth, without any grant of that dignity by the reigning Monarch. But these altera tions are trivial, compared with some others which are not yet sufficiently matured for actual adoption, but to which the Bing has, nevertheless, been required to pledge himself, and has pledged himself. An immense military force, the National Guard, is to be constantly kept up in the country, the corn. mend of which is not to be placed in the hands of the King, as the men are to choose their own officers. In the command of the regular troops of France the authority of the King is to be circum. !cubed to some indefinite extent, by a new military code, establish. tug in a legal manner the condition of officers of all ranks ; and finally, a new mode of electing the Deputies of France is to be adopted,to render the constitution and character of the Chamber of De. puties somewhat more democratic than it has hitherto shewn The effect of each of these changes is to weaken In some degree the power of the Executive Government ; the united operation of the whole of them can scarcely fail to cripple it altogether, or to render it incapable of a vigorous or salutary adminLstralion of public af. tairs—to draw down upon it by degrees the contempt and hatred of the nation —to prepare its final overthrow—to produce a new penes of civil convulsions. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. (Front the Message,. des Charribres, dated Aug. 10.) ALGIERS, JULY 21. Every body here &inns conjectures respecting what we shall do with Algiers. Shall we retain it as a French possession ? This is not known, and it is even afAnned that Al. de Bourmont has declared that he did not expect the decision of the French Government before the 22d of this month. This city would make a beautiful French colony. It is surrounded by a fertile territory, and the Bedouin Arabs see us without hated, and often even with pleasure. They are in general well dispot.ed towards us, and do not endeavour to rob us as they might have done on many occasions. It seems that, during the first days after tee surrender of the plate. some Frenchmen were ill-treated, and even killed, in the vicinity of the city, but these occurrences, which were not numerous, will not be re- 1 !witted. We can now go about the country with safety. At Torre Chica we live in perfect harmony with the Bedouins. None of them ' insult the French whom they meet singly on the coast, or in the fields. They even warn them not to go to the other side of the river ' which falls into the Bay of Torte Chica, because that bank is occu pied by the Bedouins de pe ndent on Oran, who do not consider them selves subdued. The Bedouins come every day to sell us fresh provisions, of which we are in great need, considering the hard ser- vice we have had to do here. It is proposed to make two great streets I in Algiers; one will run along the vicinity of the quay, and the other will extend from the port to the Casaba, intersecting the city in the direction of its length. The troops are encamped out of the walls of Algiers. and one battalion goes to the city every day to do duty. On the 13th a powder magazine blew up, and wounded 40 of a company of Volageurs encamped near the I)ey's gardens. We are now busy in removing all the artillery and material from the pe ninsula of Torre Chica. This operation will require 10 days. Some pieces of artillery are already dismounted, and the rest will be so shortly. We keep here nothing but the provisions, which will be sent to Algiers ; all the rest is put on board the ships. PARIS, Ace. 0. Charles X. arrived at Laigle at one o'clock in the afternoon of the 7th, with his family and 1,200 of the gardes du corps and pews d'armes, and two pieces of cannon. All the inhabitants of Isaigle are constitutionalists. but they restrained themselves, they uttered no cries of Vice la Chat*, but paid due respect to misfortune. Marshal Alarmont was at the head of the staff. They are going to Cherburg to embark. They were to go through Caen, but they were told that the life of the Duke of Ragusa would be exposed to great danger in that city. Charles X. wept when he arrived at Laigle, and when he left it tears were seen to Sow down his cheeks. It is said that M. de Polignac was with him. It is said that M. de Guernon Renville has also been arrested at Tours. The following is the text of the last order of the day issued in the name of Charles X. ORDER OF THE DAY. " Moulins, Aug. d. " Immediately after the departure of the King, all the regiments of infantry and artillery of the guards and of the gendarmerie will commence their march to Chartres, where they will receive all the provisions necessary for them. Messrs. the Chiefs of the Corps, after having called their regiments together, will declare to them that his Majesty, with the most profound affliction finds himself obliged to separate from them, that he commands them to express his satisfaction to the troops, and that he will always preserve the remembrance of their admirable conduct, of their devotedness and their patience in enduring the hardships and privations under which they have laboured during the late unfortunate events. The King, for the last time, transmitted his orders to the brave troops of the guards and of the line who have accompanied him. They are to go to Paris,where they will make their submission to the Prince Lieut.- General of the kingdom, who has taken all necessary measures for their safety and their future welfare. (Signed) " The Marshal Duke of RAGUSA. (Countersigned) " The Chief of the Staff the Marquis de CHOISEUIL." It appears that the drawing rooms of the Palais Royal are as. cumbered day and night with persons who are seeking to profit by the national triumph. The greater part of these place-hunters for. get, on the one hand, that they have done nothing to deserve favour, and, on the other, that we are entering on a system of cheap govern. ment. The Prince receives every body with that frankness and af fability so natural to him ; but we ate persuaded that he knows very well how to distinguish the really deserving persons from those time servers of all regimes, who come there to reap the spoils of the con quest. In fact, we see that the nominations made up to this day are all founded on true patriotism, united to real merit. These suppliants will soon find that they are losing their time, and will cease to trifle with that of the Prince, all whose moments are de voted to our destinies. On Sunday evening there was a spontaneous illumination in celebration of the happy event which had decided the destinies of France in a manner so unexpected. Fireworks were displayed every where, and in all quarters was heard the free and frank expression of general joy, restored security, and confirmed concord. It is reported that M. d'Haussez has been arrested at Baujen. An order of the day of the General Commanding-in-Chief, Lafayette, dated the 7th, informs us that the review of the National Guard is fixed for Sunday next, 15th August, 1830. On one of the sides of the flag of our National Guard are the words Libertt, Egalite, Ordre Public, 27,28, 29.1rtsWet, 1830 ; on the other side the number of the legion. The flag to be ornamented with silver fringes, but with no other decoration. OVIFORM OF TUC NATIONAL GUARD ON HORSENACL.

EXTRACT PROM A LETTER Timm A PARISIAN LADY, AUGXST 7. After such a fortnight as the one just elapsed, one may naturally feel anxious for the fate of one's friends, and it aon that account 1 write, certain that you will be glad to learn that, among the extra. ordinary events which have occurred, no accident has befallen any of the family. We have only felt alarm, and grief for the great number of victims who have perished on the three memorable days whereon the Parisians have proved themselves great, noble, ge nerous, and worthy of that liberty which they have purchased with their blood.. You will say I am an enthusiast, out I only re peat the sentiments of all around me, and if you could have wit nessed the spontaneous and unanimous feeling which actuated the people, you would be as convinced as I am that nothing short of acts as arbitrary as those which it was attempted to impose on them could have roused the entire population of Paris, and induced them to throw off a yoke which had become insupportable.

Madame was confined on the 25th July, (day of the famous ordinances.) All the family came to town in consequence, some of them intending to remain, but on Tuesday morning the commotion was so great that they returned, and it was well they did, for much confusion ensued in the Place Vendome, and several balls fell in the courtyard of the hotel: M. and Madame felt terrified, and crossing the Fauxbourgs with their child and the nurse, amidst barricades and firing, took refuge at —: M. and Madame the same.

Then again, if I could have been with Ma dame but there was no crossing the Boulevards, they were blocked up and barricaded, and the soldiers fired frequently and wan tonly on the passers by.

I have been to see Madame —: judge of her uneasiness, her husband being one of the Royal Guard at Rambouillet.

The Tuileries, which *as one of the most distinguished SWIM of Parisian ferocity during the late Revolution, has long been the Paris residence of the Sovereigns of France, an d is one of the most magnificent palaces of Europe, It is situate on the banks of the Seine, nearly in the centre of Paris • and its gardens, which abound with statues, is the most fashionabl e promenade of the metropolis. The Palace was completed by Louis XIV. in 1664, at an enormous expence, every order of architecture being rendered subservient to its embellishment. The number and beauty of its columns attract universal admiration. The principal entrance is by a magnificent triumphal arch, erected by Napoleon in 1806. It is built of marble ' and is sixty feet wide, and forty-five feet high, each front decorated with four columns of the Corinthian Order. The Tuileries, though a splendid residence for a Sovereign, has no defensive works, and could neither hold out against the regular attack of a disciplined force, or, what the event has proved to be, the still more overpower ing force of an enthusiastic people. The Palace of the Louvre, or Royal Museum, adjoins the Tuileries on the east. It is the most ancient of all the Royal Palaces in Paris, and was formerly used as a country house by the Kings of France. —The court of the Louvre forms a square of one thousand The following extract of a letter contains an accurate description six hundred feet in circumference.

' T arms !to arms ! was now one universal shout. The moment was cri tical. and I thought that theconfiict would have been terrific, seeing the exasperation of the people, and the air of defiance held by the troops. Baron Janin appeared at their head, and every body supposed a discharge of musketry would have commenced the conflict ; but his intentions luckily proved pacific. He harangued the multitude, who answered him with a volley of stones. I'he genadarmes were about to resent the insult, but were withheld by the General. By his admirable presence of mind and forbearance the people west length dispersed, for that night at least, without bloodshed, although the General's patience was severely tried by re peated insults and serious contusions. At an early hour on the next day the multitude attacked the Hotel de Ville, but without success, having been repulsed by a troop of cavalry that had arrived from bibourne. Three or four of the people were killed or wounded. Two other public establishments were attacked and ransacked the same morning, before the military could arrive. Meanwhile the Garde Nationale were organized as it were by enchantment, the posts given up to them, and the troops confined to their quarters, lest they should commit excesses in their then state of incitement. Pub lie tranquillity was soon restored, although yesterday there was a slight disturbance at La Bastide (a fauhourg communicating with the other side of tile bridge), where a cavalry officer, at the head of his troop, seized a national flag, which the conductor of Lafitte's diligence had brought with him from Paris as a rallying signal for the Bordelais. The Garde Nationale, however, interfered, and order was soon restored. The tricoloured flag therefore now waves on every public building, and many a private house ; and the cockade is worn by all the Garde Nationale, as well as all those who, from principle or for safety, think proper to do so. Yesterday Baron Janin, seeing the national flag triumphant, assembled his troops (the 5.5 th regiment) and informed them that it was incum ' bent on them to disband, as the Royal authority was no longer acknowledged. Upon this intimation about two-thirds of the soldiers marched off with their arms and baggege, notwithstand ing the entreaties of their subaltern officers ; the rest remained, and incorporated themselves with the National Guard. Baron Janin has taken his departure to the great regret of the Bordelais, who expressed to him the warmest gratitude for his noble conduct during the late disturbances. The Prefect and Mayor have disap peared, and a provisional municipality has been established, until I the political affairs of the kingdom are definitively settled. During , the attack on the prefecture, the people likewise destroyed the press of the ministerial newspaper. and took possession of the te legraph, to prevent information being given of their proceedings. Two or three days ago, the column called Colonne du douse Mars, erec,ted at a short distance from the town to perpetuate the restoration of the Bourbons and the loyalty of the Bordelais, was entirely demolished by the peasantry. In fact, the municipa lity itself is ordering all inscriptions and emblems of the Bourbon dynasty to be removed ; and yet this town was eminently royalist but a few years ago ! Hence you may judge how unpopular the descendants of Louis and of Henry IV. have contrived to render themselves of late." NAMES of the USRETURNARLE PEERS of PRANCE.

Christopher Leigh, who resided in Lancashire, during the lifetime of his first wife, and whose family is the only one now extant, wherein will be found the legitimate descend ants in the male line from Thomas, the first Lord Leigh, of Stoneleigh Abbey, knighted by James I. created a Ba ron by Charles I. when at Stoneleigh, by patent, dated at Oxford, July 1, 1643. The case is preparing to be put into a shape to institute proceedings in law for the reco very of the long dormant honours and possessions hitherto enjoyed by Chandos Leigh, Esq. the present occupier of Stoneleigh Abbey, near Coventry, in the County of Warwick. MOST EXTRAORDIN ART EL EcroN .—We are fa voured by a highly respectable gentleman—an eye witness to the scene—with the following unprecedented facts. relating to the election of the members for the borough of Beralston, Devonshire. Our friend writes us thus : " No return has yet been made fur this borough, which Is the supposed property of the Earl of BEVERLE v. The circumstances attending the election, which took place on Saturday the 31st of July, are singular. The DEPUTY PORT REEVE attended at the usual place of election, accompanied by Mr. BLACK ETT, one of the candidates ; and read the precept aloud. Ile then pro ceeded to nominate Lord LOVA IN r, and Mr. BLACK ETT, as the two Members to be returned, when an elector, re sident in the borough, proposed Mr. WI , BORN and Mr. TODD.—the names of these gentlemen being inscribed on cards, and handed to the returning officer. The motion made by the first elector was duly se conded by another resident elector--the two king the w trots. of the constituents present at the election—nei ther Lord LOV AIN E nor Mr. Bt.acerrr having, as I am informed, a single vote. The officer looked—se may na turally be supposed—confounded, and shelved some hesi tation in proceeding in the only true course, which it was evident he ought to pursue. The two e:ectora then demanded a poll ; but there being nobody to come to the poll, their request was magnanimously refused ; and the returning officer then read aloud the already en dorsed return of Lord Levant': and Mr BLACK mi . , as the members elelted without opposition ! The two elec tors menaced the returning officer with the penalties of his false return ; whereupon Mr. BLA K ETT pronounced his determination to fight it out to the last. Since this scene unparrallelled in the annals of burgage tenures — no return at all has been made, although here cannot be the least shadow of a doubt that Mr. WYPORN and Mr. TODD are the representatives of the borough of Beralston. It is now supposed that the owner of the borough will impeach the regularity of the iieminution of his own returning officer, and so the election will be de clared void. In the meantime, the Loan of the MANOR may create as manyfictitious voters as he thinks fit ; and so secure the election of his own nominees, unless the borough be disfranchised." Thus far writes our friend ; and we can add, from our own personal knowledge, that one of the gentlemen elected, so unexpectedly to himself. was never at Beralston in the whole course of his life ; nay, more, he never knew that there was such an inde pendent borough on the face of the known earth. He was as ignorant of the locality and existence of the re turning borough, as was Baron ily m Bot.n . r of Turnlinm Green. The history of the Beralston election merits the most extensive publicity, as a splendid specimen of the rot ten-borough system. With respect to the parties, we may add that we have not the slightest knowledge of Me. TODD : we happen accidentally to know that Mk. WY BORN was quietly sitting in his chambers in Lincoln's Inn, unconscious of the high honour conferred upon him by the electors of Beralston. The ousted NI R. BLACK ET was present during the whole affair. Who he is, or what he is, we do not know ; but we know that Lord Lov AIN E is the son of the Earl Of BEVERLEY, who is uncle to the Duke of NORTH UMBERLA ND. Of the returning officer, the public will hear more in due time ; and no doubt, the two electors will have a prominent part to enact in the future dramatic performances, touching this extraordinary election. Asa matfer of coarse, MR. WY BORN and M it.Toun will muintain their rights to the last. Since writing the above, au obeerve that Lord LOV AIN F. and Mr. BLACK ETT are returned Members, as on the 9th instant. How this is accomplished, we know not. r I
