It is tar from being apparent by the Parisian Jeer*.ls, notwithstanding the gloss which they at tempt to throw over the more disagreeable features in the state of things, that the French Government has yet succeeded in creating confidence in its stability, or in calling forth the usual indications of satis faction and prosperity in the nation. The F rinds 'continue to decline. The per Cents. left off, at the date of the last Papers (Friday), at 56 6.loths. 71'his is, perhaps, the fairest criterion that could be edduced of t lie state of public confidence in France ; for the Funds in that country are net under the management of lin interested company, as in this . ,but are equally free and open to all the nation. In cases like the present, when, by the stagnation of commerce, the profitable employment of ca pital is covepletely at k stand, the Funds in France are the only speculations iii which it can be engaged, either with the hope of advantage or sccu. site ; but we see it isicontestihly evinced that no as surances which the public reiod has yet received of the continuance of tiar.qoi!lity and the strength of the Governettint, ran itispiie the holders of property with sufficient confidence to invest it iu the State, or on the credit of the Government, or believe that tither advanta4e or security cart result from such spe culations in the present state of thines. 011 the co: trary, those. who hale funded property are with_ drawing it, ate/1 resorting to employments and places shore secure; 6o that w:tli the c•entributious and the weight of fee other onerous burthens which Louts's good Allies have laid out his patient shoul ders and these of his subj. - els, the French Govern ment sees it self unable to move at the outset, and totally destitute of those sinews of strength without whites no ( lovernmcnt can exist. Opinion is st rengt h. Let Prinvis, then, learn to know, and properly lips predate, the value of public opinion. The terms of the Convention to which Louis has acceded,, are denounced in every political circle out of the ephere of the Court. It is believed that the comm•anication to the Chambers on this subject will be meagre indeed, and quite in the way of the Con gress Ministers, of which Lord Casvetn EACH! gave seen a stately and perfect specimen last year. The Chamber of Deputies must be told something of it ; not, however, for the purpose of consulting that Assembly, though it has given sufficient proof of its', subserviency to royally—for that, says the Charte Conslitutionel, is unnecessary, but certain pecuniary 1 Enkagements being undertaken by the Executive a utho. rity ,t he Legislati ve.palrialide,are bound to fulfil them. Were it not for this, some of the causes of Louis's " profound grief" would have remained hidden from those he calls his children. The Peers are expected to canvas such parts of the treaty as sh3ll be commu. nicated to them very freely ; but the cry of Vice k and the murmurs of a royalist majority, as ill doubtless hare their usual effect on all opposition' speeches. The King, it seems, cannot want 46 !.is WELLING TON" till all his trials are over. He has offered to the Duke of Wrwrrcrox, for his residence, the Palace of VElysee Bourbon, which his Grace has scripted. The English troops, .with the National Guard, now do the ga►risoon duty of Paris, the Prussians have entitely quitted the capital. " Eng lish cannon are also substituted for French cannon on the Pont..Royal and other bridges." What does this mean ? Cannot the French themselves be trusted ilk* the protection of the Legislative Authorities and the preservation of the public peace 1 The allied troops continue to make movements from time to time, bat 6C they return." This also is a bad sign of the re atoratien of tranquillity and coutent. V b,.

A:iJ what will the Prefect of Nantz do with all the people whn wear violets and pinks when he has ar rnted them ? This very law of arrest has placed the Government in a more difficult situation (hall ever. If it dared not to inflict capital punishinmr• on any of the itidividuals convicted of treason, for the laws already in exiirence made this crime capital, how can it v"nt are to imprison or transport half the nation ? LV law against political offences would, indeed, be a dreadful engine in the hands of a Government strong enough to put it into vigorous ekecution ; but in such imbecile hands as now wield it, it appears to be regarded as the offspring of a heart nwre desirous of effecting its own security by means of vengeance alone, than gifted with the power of accomplishing either. -~~ [The Siva tuft.] " Ilamt,urAit, Ort. 20." CRACOW, Ocr. 15.—Tite Austrian Commissioner, Count Schwarz, and the Commii:ioner of the Kirg of l'tus.iia, Rtibriitz, being now arrived hew, a private conference took place to verify their full powers, and Count Schwarz was by lot chosen I're. sident. The French people, and mankind in /eneral, may, however, perceive from this dangerous and oppressive enactment, and the causes n hich have given rise to it, that the surrender of their liberties, even for a single moment, into the hands of their rulers, becomes the origin of countless evil., and the precedent for fresh oppressions and slavery. Such precedents never fail to be acted upon. They operate most injuriously to the State in which they originate, and ere examples for the abuse of popular right in other nations. The British people are, perhaps, more interested in this suspension of ju.tice and hu manity in France, than they are aware. It is be. cause France has not preserved her laws and Grnsti tution, that she has had so many. The seed of ser vitude is sown imperceptibly, and is soon made to take root, and to become bonds of slavery, by those whose interest it is to watch and to cherish it. Next Wednesday, after Divine Service, the first Silting will be held in the Pakce of Count %Vieln pol,k, and the city wi:l he illuminated in the even ing. A Proclamation will appear at the same time, in which the re , pective Commissioners, its the tilnie of their Sovereigns, declare the City free. The or ganization will proceed LETT 111 FROM NI uNuTER, OCT. 26.—Arnoog the church plate carried of by the Vielich is the vessel called the Paul's Boa I, a kind of silver goblet, inlaid with old coin:, and ornamonted with a map of the territory of Munster. The Rev. Mr. Melchers, Cahn,' of this place, dis,-ov• red it in the M It4Pata. at Park, when he was in that city at the National Council, and it has now been successfully reclaimod, as we find from the following letter of his Excellency Count Altenstein, who is the Prusbian Commissioner for the reclaiming of the works of •rt It seems the persecution of the Protestants still continues in the South of France. No further back than the 17th October, a fresh persecution broke out at Nismes—seven of its most respectable inhabitants were on that day assassinated. TRISTALLAN, the leader of this Catholic band, has since been taken into custody by the military force. '1 his man had already been se zed for similar outrages ; but was set at liberty in consequence of threatening to discover his employer.. It is extremely pre bable that some plot has keen discovered or a,ipr. !tended. General Au'i is added to the nomber of those arrested. A rumour is mentioned, for the purpose of being contradicted, that a rescue of NLY had been attempted. This Marshal's trial was to commence last Monday, when his Advocate meant to deny the competency cf the Council of War, to try him. M ArtENA is President. We think the 51arshal may be easy, and by all accouuts he is so. PAM., CYPT. 20. SlR,—Your letter to the Councillor of State Rilibinhop, respecting the silver plate taken by the French, has come to try hands, and I have caused the necessary enquiry to he made for the things men tioned in it. The Paul's Cap is restored, though without the case, but the other articles are not to be found. They have probably been melted down on account of their great weight, and I shall he, there fore, obliged to limit my further exertions to endea. veering to get the value of them. I shall he pecu- Hilly happy to serve the city in this mutter. " LT;-:NST MN." It is, indeed, much to be lamented, that so many precious works of art hare been destroyed by melting down. Among the rest there was a ship of solid silver, weighiog above one hundred pounds, which was placed by our heroic Bishop 11: shard von Galen, in one of the Chapels in the Cathedral, in memory of an extraordinary action of the troops of Munster, two companies of whom, in the war with Holland, boarded and captured a frigate of 30 guns, at the mouth of the Ems, near Leir, in East Friesland.— The loss was very considerable; the whole of the silkei sent from here in 1806 to Magdeburg, and then taken by the French, amounted to 1235 lbs. of silver from the Cathedral, and 517 lbs. from the Church of the G)mnasium. Thus the French have taken from this city alone near 2000 lbs. of church plate of the value of 40,000 dollars. The festivals that took place at Munster on per forming the acts of homage lasted a whole week, and the joy of the people of Westphalia showed itself in the most unequivocal manner. Brussels Parsers to the sth, and Frankfort to the Ist inst. nr rived this forenoon. We copy the prin cipal articles of their contents, more because they are new than interesting. The Austrians have again taken possession of Alsace. The orders and counter-orders issued by the Allied Powers in regard to taking and giving military possession, are still most inexplicable. Preparations seem to be making for the assembling of the Congress at Frankfort. _ Baussms, Nov. 3.—We have no further details concerning the loss of the Sir William Curtis, which was wrecked on the 30th of October, to the west of the poit of Ostend. The crew it seems were all saved, but three passengers are said to have been drowned, whose names are variously reported. NEUWIED, Ocr. 27.—Yesterday, a part of the Prussian guard arrived here on the march to Berlin. The last accounts from Alsace say, that the Aus. trian corps which forms a pelt of General Vacqaunt's division, and which was on its march logo into can. tonments about Mentz, has received . counter-orders and returned to Alsace. VIENNA, OCT. 21.—1 t is observed that her Ma. jest); the Empress of Austria proceeded to Inspruck, by the way of Clagenforth, and not of Salzburgh, as was first said, and consequently did not enter the Bavarian territory. It is believed that thedifferences with Bavaria about the institution of the Intsviertel, the Ilansruckviertel, and Salzburg,' are far from be ing adjusted. Some pretend that of the troops re. turning front France 60,000 will halt in the neigh bourhood of Weis. Fitmvxvoar, OCT. 3O.—Ws TlighnPss the Prince of Radzivill and his Excellency Baron Stein, are ar rived here. The Empress of Russia will not depart from this city till the 4th. His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Weimar went rstertlay to Darmstadt. and will repair thence to Eisenach, to wait for her hive. rial Niajrsty, who will sleep on the 4th at Fulda, and on the sth at Eisenach. The President You liarbier sets out to-day for Purls, to regulate the contributions. [LETTER FROM WARSAW, OCT. 19111.] All the Deputies of Poland sent to Paris to wait upon his 'Majesty the Emperor of Russia having now returned home, they have delivered a report upon the execution of their commsssion to Couttt o,t row ske, President of the Polish Senate. To the speech which Count Zamowske made to the Emperor, his Majesty replied as follows : " I am t•ery sensible, Gentlemen, to the senti ments which the Polish nation expresses towards me through you. Assure it from me that I have been actuated towards it by only one principle, that of restoring to it its nationality. In uniting it to ano ther nation likewise of Sclavonian origin, I conso lidate its welfare and its tranquillity. To see it happy will be my fairest recompence." Ail the equipages of his Majesty the Kin . of Prussia have ariived here from Paris, under the rare of Captain Zeiten. They will set out for Ber lin on the 10 of November. Bartin 011erstedt, Prussian Charge d'Affaires at Frankfort, announced some time since a plan for the formation of an establishment for the aid of the soldiers who are become invalids in consequenre of their wounds in the battle of La Belle Alliance. — The Baron has communicated to us the letter he has received from the Benevolent Society of Ladies at ilamhurgh, which we hasten to publish, as the faitit. fol expression of the humane and patriotic setiti. merits which di:tiognish this interesting society : " The Benevol , ot Society of Ladies at Hambuigh' has seen, with much satisfaction, by yo ur letter of Oct. 19, to Mr. Frederick Purities, and the Gazette you have added to it, the benevolent intention of many friends of humanity, to form an establishment for the succour of a certain number of intelids teho have fought gloriously for their Country. " Our Society has eagerly embraced this idea, which has been communicated to us by Mr. I'erthee, who is so remarkable for his zeal and activity in swag thing that iutcrests humility.
