(Signed) LOUIS. By t ie King, I AiliA, .PLC. What Divine Providence recalled us last year to the throne of our fathers, we thought it our duty in remostr. finin public function some men to whom r easons did not permit us to extend that con fid,,te with which Magistrates and Administrators ought always to be invested. Nevertheless, on ac count of the long services of some of them, and with the intention of giving to our subjects a fresh proof of our justice and royal munificence, we were pleased t o grant to many of the functionaries thus removed from situations they had so long filled, pensions on renting, or provisional allowances. The hope that we 1,,d conceived of re-establishing, in a few years, the finances of our kingdom, and success of our first e fforts, permitted us even to extend this beneficent measure wish great liberality ; but we have been in- , formed, that in the disastrous days which suspended the course of the benefits which we were occu pied hi showeiing upon our people, many indivi duals to .150 m we had granted these tokens of oar ki„d i , e ,c, necked with eagerness underithe dominion of th•' ll+urper, either by re-entering their former f un ctions, or by accepting new ones; the part they have thus taken in the support of the criminal enter prize which has caused all the evils under which Frsnce at present groans, has made them lose all right to the favours which we should have been desi rous of conferring upon them; and the disorder into' which these evils have thrown the finances, the im mense charges which our faithful subjects are called upon to bear, notwithstanding all oar cares to lighten their burden, impose upon us the obligation in future to contain our liberality within the bounds of the most severe justice and the strictest economy. _ _ (Signrd) The Mini;ler of Stale for Dikc de FELTRE.

Nevertheless, in discharging this duty, we being desirous that the measure we propose to decree shall be executed with discernment and equity ; that the faults of the men to whom it is applicable shall be scrutinized and judged with the most rigorous impar tiality ; that these faults shall be placed as a balance against the length and importance of former services; la.ily, that if in certain cases what is superfluous may be taken away from men to whom our gene wily had granted it, our justice nevertheless shalt preserve to them what is necessary. The Duke of Bedford arrived the day before yes. terday from England. He alighted at the Hotel of the Empire, Street d'Artois. The Duchess of Bed ford is expected to-day, with her suite, coming from Italy. For these reasons we have decreed and do decree IS (.$110%16 .1•••••• Att. 1. There shall be formed near our Minister Secretary of State for the Department of Finances, e Commission, charged with taking cognizance of the pensions and provisional allowances granted by us, since the first of April, 1814, to the Functionaries of the Administrative and Judiciary order, which we did not judge proper to continue in their employ. 2. The said Commission shall provide itself with all the instructions it shall judge necessary to verify the origin and motives of these recompences, as also the names and qualities of those who have obtained them. MONTLUCOW, OCT. 14.—There has been arrested here and sent to the prison of Moulin, a glazier's boy, a most deter mined bad subject, commandant of a battalion composed of lads of the same stamp. Ile assumed the Cross of the Legion of Honour, and distributed cartourhes to the 2d regiment of Chas sears of the Ex-Guard, whose insurrection might have been attended with fatal consequences. Tran quillity is perfectly restored ; it will he maintained by the good spirit of the inhabitants, and the punish ment of the guilty who have, for a moment, troubled it. We expect our happiness from the justice and moderation of the King, whose intentions cheer us, whose speeches console us, and whose glory is at tached to our prosperity. FREUD FUNDS-56 f. 90 c. 57 f. —.Oa.-- Brussels Papers to the 19th iust. arrived to-day, but they bring nothing of issterebt, beyond stating, that the grand head-quarters of the Russian army has arrived at Frankfort. By the merchant-ship Lord Somerset, from Baur dean*, have arrived in England the Spanish Colonel Asutta and several other Officers of his regiment, the 4th of the Navarre Volunteers, which was dis banded by FERDINA ND VII. They were persecuted by that Sovereign for having assisted the Generals MINA, uncle and nephew, in the attempt which they made on Pamplona, to support the Constitution and the Cortes of Spain. These victims of the civil liber ty of their country are come to seek an asylum in England; they have already arrived in London and joined one of their late Chiefs. The Officer who was second in command to Gene- • ral Poamen, and who has arrived in England, is named Rear-Admiral RONAL lie is accompanied by Captain FORNELLI, who was first Aid-de-Camp to PORLIER. They are expected in London in a few days.

We understand that the sailors belonging to Shet land, and the different places in the North, and who are at present at Leith, destitute of employment, are to be immediately forwarded to their respective homes, and that the revenue cutters are to be em ployed in that service.—(Edinburgh Paper.) • Benwics, Oct. 14.—The seamen of this port. following the example of their brethren in Newcastle and other ports, on Saturday last made a demand on their employers for additional wages, which being refused, they positively declined going to sea, and forcibly compelled all those seamen that have arrived since that day to join them. On Saturday and Mon day nearly one hundred extra constables were sworn in to preserve the peace, in case the sailors should become riotous, but they have hitherto conducted themselves in the most orderly manner, only per. Muting in their demands. The Ship-owners have had several interviews with them without being able to effect a reconciliation.
