'Nary, .ocv. 2.3.—The following was the result of elections for the department of Seine and Marne, up to the evening of the 21st. This department returns three Deputies: number of electors 879; absolute majority 440. M. Menager, the former Deputy, alone obtained the absolute majority; he was ac cordingly re-elected. M. de St. Cricq, also a former Deputy, and President of the Electoral College, had 382 votes; M. Despaty, former Deputy likewise, . 378 ; and the Marquis de la Fayette '2BB. The Journal de Paris states the final result of the election for the above department to he the reture of Baron St. Cricq, President of the College ; and Des - paty, Vice-President. • A deplorable event has just plunged into the most profound grief one of the most illustrious families of France. Count Thibault de Montnnoreucy, bro ther to the Duke of that name, left his country lionse in a gig; the animal took fright, and ran tiff at full speed ; to avoid.. the threatened danger, the Count resolved to leap out, but getting entangled in his cloak, he fell backwards with great violence, and fractured his skull. lie was instantly conveyed to . his mansion ; but all aid was ineffectual ; he aspired io three hours. Ile was only 30 sears of age. A letter from Aix la-Chapelle of the 18th inst. , states, the ratiticattoh of the Treaty by England had arrived at Aix-la-Chapelle. The Ist and 4th Regiments of the Royal Guards, in barracks at St. Dennis and Courbevoie, are making • preparations for departure. It is voilerstond they are to march to-morrow for Lisle and Valenciennes. It is added, that two legions, in garrison at Paris, ore also to set out to occupy some of the other places which are to he delivered op by the Allied troops. A letter from Mezieres of the 19th inst. announces, • that the Sovereigns were not to arrive there till Sun day next, the 25th; consequently the grand review of the Prussian corps d'armee will net take place till abe With. Accounts from Pelersburgh state, that on the open ing of the navigation a sew Tariff of Customs w ilt be published. Great preparations are making at the Hotel Vil leroi, Rue de Bourbon, where it is supposed the King of Prussia will alight on arriving at Paris. The persons placed in a state of accusation in the affair of General Cannel, &c. are six in number, and not three, as was at first said, viz. Lieut..Ge;teral - Carmel, MM. de Rieuz-Snogy, Chauvigny, De Not, Gauffre, and Lafitte. This process ►till come imme diately before the Royal Court. The use of steam-vessels begins to increase on the Mediterranean. A vessel of this description sailed from Naples at the end of last mouth, and arrived in ten days at Leghorn. Accounts from Rome of the 7th- inst. state, that the Duke of Gloucester was expected to proceed direct from Venice to England. A letter from Calais, dated the 20th inst. states— " At this moment a part of the baggage of tbe En glish contingent is on board the transports, which will sail by this day's tide for England.

The following is the Bulletin of this morning : Kew Palace, Oct. 'it% " The Qum( has had a good eight, from which her M*jml has derived some ease. (Signed) " F. MILMAN. ,' H. HALFOILD." The accounts through other channels state, that her MAJESTY did not derive the least benefit from the repose she obtained on the preceding night. She re mained throughout yesterday free from pain, but ex ceedingly debilitated. His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK remained yesterday two hours at the Pa lace. The PRINCE REGENT arrived in the evening, and give audience to Sir FeANcts 1111LatArt, who then made his evening report oo the state of her MAJESTY. . We give in another column an official specification of the Reductions of the Army, which have been de cided upon. It was not, we are informed, until after considerable altercation that these reductions were agreed to. We do not wonder at soave differ ence of opinion on this subject. The measure is one of great importance to the existence of many. It is asserted that the reductions will amount to more than 33,000 men ; but the saving clause is introduced, that they are only " to be reduced as soon as pouf. ble."—lt is said that the Earl of Ltvertroor., was de sirous of reducing the Army to the SOth Regiment of Foot, bat the remonstrances were so strong from head-quarters, that all representations of the into leralkle burthen en the-country were insufficient, nor could he succeed in procuring the reduction to stop even at the 90th, as the three higher regiments, the 01st, 92d,-and 93d, were Scots, with local LOW eucel and under high ansices. It is supposed that the whole2eduction will not produce a saving of more than t one million per an num. '.Ye do not believe that it will amount to so much, for the practice of preserving the heads et a considerable expellee after the bodies are consigned to.their country, will-no doubt be adopted as much as possible on this as well as other occasions. Vtre are glad that the energetic representations made by 'People in !emir of Economy add against Stand ing Armies in time of Peace, have been so far attend• edae-tellead:querters; but we cannot flatter the na tion by attempting to create a belief that these reduc tions are made by Ministers with the view of afford ing relief to the distresses of the country, or that the People will reap much benefit from such a mass of idle and pennyless individuals being added to their number. The reductious which have taken place in the amount of our regular army since the Peace have been solely owing. to te deficiency of the means of providing for its suppOrt. • The Partiality of our Mix elvers for a large Standing Army is avowed and not. torious. They have. newer led the way In reducing o expenditure ; on the contrary, they have strenuously eodeavoured to thwart every measure of reduction earl economy. They have ever been ready with an excuse for the most wasteful and improvident extra vagance ; and we doubt not, that at the very moment wheu they are acknowledging it utterly impossible to maintain the Army for which they have so ear nestly contended as necessary to the safety of the country, they would find excuses and reasons int►umerable for keeping up the long list of Sinecures and Pensions which burden the nation, and one-third of which would maintain in peaceful comfort the whole of the 33,060 men who are now to be thrown upon the community to lire as they may, where `labour and subsistence are already scarcely to be ob itained by the most industrious. In the present cir cumstances of trade and the country, it is impossible to foresee what may be the consequences of such an ad• dition to oor starving population. It must he obvious that misery and disorder are likely to be aggravated by such a surplus of idle hands, and men who must be fed some way or other, unless an improving trade ■nd new sources of employment shall afford the means orsopport to the increasing population ; and these we can scarcely expect to see offering their relief during the dull, and to the poor and labouring classes, the miserable period of the winter. Disorder in any quarter may be expected to have its usual consequences to the milieu at large. That which happened may happen again, and for aught we know, no man may yet hate it in his power in this free country to calculate on a day's liberty—riots bay be again ;Itched, and more easily than ever—the Con. stitutionel laws of the nation may be again suspend red on the evidence of spies, and the most inoffensive amongst us may be seized on the report of a hired Informer, and consigned to some distant dwisgeon, without either the prospect of en open trial or.he opportunity of a public justification. The rumour of a serious dispute. between the Em , perors of AUSTRIA and Russia gains ground on the COntinent. In the Brussels Papers, which have reached us to the 2.3 d inst. the report formerly men tioned from Aix-la-Chapelle is repeated, namely, that the Emperor of RUSSIA has openly declared against the claim of Bavaria to part of Baden, that he and the Emperor of AUSTRIA had come to something like high words on the subject ; and, it is added, that there already exists en alliance offensive and de fensive between Russia, Prussia, end France, on the one part, and England, Austria, and Bavaria on the other. We have some reluctance to believe this lat ter statement, but where so many dark cabals ere carrying on, it is impossible 'to say what Treaties may be formed. The Flemish Editors dwell with great exultation on the increased prosperity of Brussels, which they attribute to liberty being " no longer an empty name" in the Netherlands. — We suspect the inhabitants of Brussels, and the People of the Netherlands, have much more reason to thank our Ministers then their own Government for this increase in their prosperity. When such a great-proportion of the wealth and produce of the in• dustry of this country are expended on the Con. titient, it is by no means surprising that its pro. sperity should increase, and that our commerce should languish, and meet with so many obstructions from the superiority thus obtained by cur rivals. The German Papers state, that a Papal Nuncio is to set out from Rome for Switzerland, about the mid ' die of next month ; but as the matters in discussion between the Helvetic Diet and the Papal See have not yet been adjusted, it is deemed improbable that he will be received in his official character. Six of the Members of the Council of Friburg have, in an energetic protest, recorded their dissent from the decision oft hat Body, in favour of the re-establish. ment of the Jesuits. The negociatinn between the Helvetic Confederation and Baden, relative to some differences with the lesser Cantons, is about to be re. I•entried.

We insert with satisfaction from the Irish pap er the reply -of Mr. GRANT, the new Secretary, l e s h e Address of the inhibitants of 'Newry. The stale of Ireland, and the policy which its Governors mean to pursue, are so interesting, that every thing that cattlie known in regard to matters so important should be made pulitic. Mr. GRANT'S letter is, sensible and conciliatory in the highest degree. It Wild out no expectations which he has • riot the power of re alizing ; but it promises to do every thing he can do, and promises this in language which bears strongly the stamp of sincerity.---If Mr. GRANT cannot dispense grand .national benefits, we trust he will at least allay, not create lulu. tion—prevent, not encourage insult—and substitutes mild and impartial, for a rigorous execution of laws, in themselves, in most instances, too severe. Per. hap` no man was ever .more fortunate, on •nteriag upon an official career—and apparently, from the comprehensiveness and liberality of bis opinions, na one better deserved to be so. Mr. GnANT, since his appointment inireland, has had the voluntary sup. post of the People, and the People's Press—that support of all others, the most useful to h..Minister— and this solely because it is known that he remains in heart and - ha principle the same man which he was, before he became Chief Secretary. We hope he will realize the expectations that have been formed from she commencement of his government. But Mr. G. has not a passive part to act in thehigh office lie has undertaken to discharge. The first duty of that office is to consult and maintain the hsppi. spand on that depends no small lionpot sinterests and happiness of the rest of ss of of the Ireland best the empire.
