This pri vilege is an iesolt to cowmen sense, end an injury to the tense of justice. A Reform Is nothing Is sore wanted than In this pa/fleeter. With ►mmsrd to the Bank and its affair,, we may truly say " the plot thickens every day," but a de noueseard must very seas take place. Mr. Tuonx- TON has thrown out some new hints Of opinions up. no these affairs, bet those persons who remember what were his printed opinions on the same @object twenty years ago, not one of which be. been of the smallest use to the Public, will not be very sanguine of the more matured lodgment of this gentleman.— Mil same will go for more in a private banker's book then in s public book of statistics. Of the two Re ports of the Committees, we shall only say. tt.at ■s each contains more matter than the New Tesionerot, we ►ate no raving faith in their utility towards re lieving the distresses of the mercantile world. They rat es in mind of what lased to be said of certain •erboae speakers in the linos, of Commons, that rods a one was on his legs for three hours and a half—e phrase which now would be equal to saying, that the Member was oat of his mind. AVe are asked, why the Dank Directors era objects of incessant attack ? It is hem's', as Directory, they have had Meese* enough to injure the whole Coon. try. If they had slot 41000 what their Charter did not authorize them to do, we aboold sot have spent the half of so satiny millions in a owlets (wort* than ate• leis) war. We should have twenty or thirty millions of tales less to pay, and of corns our essnofartures would have continued to lowish. We should also have been prepared (or an naavoidable war, whenever it might *cam. Now what are we to do if each an meet wore to occur? The osonepirrAsence the Di. r •etnts have bad is. above all, a subject of odious reflection. This inflows is the most deleterious to the Constitution of all others. It is carious to bear the Directors of the Mink Oak," whether the Public will be able to beer that redaction of the circulating medium, which a *wetly edoptien of the mestere of Cash Payments would render itedispensible?"— We answer, that it would not only be able to do sof THE S'FAIIESMAN but 'meld be benelifed highly by its annihilation, for what hes Parliament to do bet to bring in a Hill end read it three times in a day, and pass it the neat, to give effect to the simplest acknowledgment en paper for any commercial and other transactions which might take place in the interval previous to the pro viding a better mad more permanent substitution for ohs deceptioss premise to pay." We are oat unacquainted •ith tbe history of assi:nats and mean. dots: they were both thought useful end indispen sib!. ; but whets they sickened end died, the world thought itself happily rid of them, and se will it be with Bank-notes. We received this morning the Peril Papers of Friday and Saturday last. In the Chamber of Peers, on Thursday, the Order of the Day brought on the Discussion of the Prnjet respecting the repression of crimes and °Peen committed through the Press. The Duke Da Frees A Nes proposed, that in the Bth article, en insertion of the words " Christian Reli. gion," should precede the phrase " peblic morality." This amendment was supported by Viscount Da MONTKoRTNCT, and opposed by Baron De BAMENTI and the Dyke DT LA ROCUITOTCAOLD. On Friday the di ion of this r.nendasent was terminated.— ' Ots the scrutiny there appeared 84 votes in it. favorer, and 103 for its rejection. The consideration of the other articles was adjourned to the seat day. le the Chamber of Deputies on Thursday and Friday the discussion of the Pro.* respecting the settleurvat of the Accounts of the year+ 1813, 1816, 1817, and 1818, was continued. On Friday, Count DT CATES and 111. BANJAMIT CONSTAST spoke et greet length. The list of orators being ezherated, it became the beefless of the Reporter of the Commission to reply ; but on his request, the discussion was further adjourn. ed to Saturday. PARIS, MAT 13.—We hive already exposed the false statements in which certain Journals have in. doled themselves, in speaking of what lately passed at Charonne, respecting the Curate of that village. These J Is have carried their impudence so far, as to pretend that 04 Curate had endangered his life, adding, that cries were heard of a bes la calcite! ala tanterne! We are enabled this day to lay be. fore our readers a correct relation of the truly scan. dale.. business ire (portion : An inhabitant of Charoune, aged 15 years, the senior bachelor of this commune, died the 25th of April last. H. was loved and esteemed throughout the village. His relations and friends wished to honour his memory by tolling the bells at the time of his death and his interment. The Curate opposed it violently, even threaten!'.g to imprison those who should venture to do so. At eight o'clock in the evening, application was made to the Mayor, who gave his authority ; this was presented to the C write, and received by him very.contempteessly ; however, be suffered the hells to be tolled. The following day they were again tolled, as this bad been paid for; but at the time of the f I, on showing the permit of inhumation delivered by the Mayor in virtue of the laws, the Curate, to whom the permit was presented, lore it, &clewing, that he bad no need of it, and that on missy nea• sions he bad seen it disregarded. Nevertheless he proceeded with his assistants in the service; bet he had the precaution during the office to suppress the greater part of the usages end ceremonies common la each caws. Ile did more ; he refined to vermin any longer with the ceremony and withdrew, leaving the assist. ants to finish it. Ile soon changed his mind, and st the instance of the Officer sent after him by the Mayor, he determined to resume his robe, and render the last rites of religion to the remains of a■ honest man and a good citizen. It is well known what • mischievous erect has been prodeced among the people by the refusals and delays ceased by this Curate at funerals. We might increase this con. viction by a crowd of other details relative to the habitual conduct of the Cerate. And yet the in. habitents of Chorine* have •Iwsys displayed the utmost prudence and reserve; and the Animal d.s Dards end the Qmoildiatne alone hate %entered to accuse them of any went of regard towards a Minister, lobo, from the accosts trans mitted to as, seems very ill qualified for • Mi nister of peace end tolerance. These details have beer, seat us by t: a Mayor of Cberonne, and the Members of the Municipal Council, who have pressingly invited us to publish them. We have hitherto thought it advisable to soften or suppress Ilieir complaints and recriminations against a Minis. ter, who has the misfortune to awaken no confidence among these whom he is called togside in the way of sslvation.—(Le ConstihdioNnel.) EITR ACT or ♦ LETICR FROM PARIS, MAY 13. " Ales! poor Duke of WILL, !! Never ' did Sir him Falstaff cut so sorry a figure, no, not even when discovered In the basket of 'fowl linen,' as the great, the invincible Hero of Waterloo-bridge does before the Court of Assizes of Paris. The ADVOCATI-GENZRAL said the Doke was a model of generosity and loyalty ; a load horse-laugh iovolun• eerily burst forth from. all portent the audience, whilea voice from the crowd said, Ws know it : the 12th Article of the Convention of Paris proves it ; the rummer was such that the A ovoczve-Gemzuzz was some miaow. ere he could proceed ; in vain the Court commanded silence ; the !aegis, the howls, the murmurs still continued ; at length oilmen was ob i tained, and the idol neat on, 'hen the nateinatien of the witnesses gsve the lie, at ern, step, to the act of accusation (the hadichweet); it does not, however, go so far as to corroborate the bold assertion of an English Gent'. nen residing at Paris, who, when he first heard of the Duke's being unsoiled by ins, said, ' Palms l it's an innocent plot to get the guerti of h which has hitherto been refused him : nothing can be more ridi. colons than the whole story.' TALLETRAND said, when he was told that the assegais bed Bred so high as to miss even the carriage, the fool mistook his Grace for a Greet Man.' Yesterday the ADTOCATC• GENERAL Mated that he might have fired too low, and shot ender the carriage. The fact it, the matter was all a hoes, and his Gram does well to keep oat of the way, for MI MI. Duets sad CLAYLAu would put such questions to him as be would find a diffi culty in answering so readily as he did Lord KIN NAIRD'I charge in the-Hoene of Lords. The Peers took his word as torrent coin, bet it would not past so here. The peacock's tail is no compensation for his disagreeable voice: the Duke knows it and is si lent. Many *homes have been brought from Brus sels, and to little porpoise : one BERNARD CM! from 'hence I. prove that the cloth of the pest cost he exchanged with CANEILLON was s little finer than the one he got in eschange.--A Woman of the name of Ducate, was lent for from Wessels, to prove that CANTILLON was a Mlle better off after his journey to Paris ; that he had a new great coat, end often got drunk. In fact, this mighty matter, about which the Cornier and Timer made such a foss, terns out to be a very y affair, out of which few Or none will come with spprobstion. " The Minister of Finance and the Cmnotitteo sp. pointed to cumin. the account., are at I,.gterheadv: they are both in the wrong. Sir CRAM PS STUART! and Count Polio t,, BONGO have lung been at vs. I dance: the wound if cicatrised, but there it a caries at the bnne : the intriguing Corsican k always seek ing to undermine British interests,•nd heir nobly mot by Sir 018,1111. U, who, without descending to a coun ter intrigee, maintaius the interest and the honour of his country." Thosgh the condoct of the Bosse of Commons has long given the People cause to be dissatisfied with it, yet does it sometimes ',reduce a temporary mirth by its blunders, end sometimes by noticing the Men ten of others. Some of the former are divertingly pointed oat by Mr. Eamon. in his poignant witty manner— for instance, in the lace Frame Bill. The preamble stated it was necessary to emend the said Act, and therefore it was requisite that all the prorisionr of the said Act should cease and determine. Mr. P. Moose tells as in last nigh'', debate, that old Gas Companies possess so little science end skill, that they often make a mistake by turning the wrong cork of the gasometers, thereby letting the gas into the slyer atsil the water into the shops. drowninc the people in them. Ile might have added, " and barning the fishes la the river." The frauds committed is private life, and the false. hoods stirred is the Public Journal', are become objects of seamss alarm sod solemn dispat. A man oho should have had no other informati.o o n p u blic rooms than from the Newspapers, would be apt to think he lived in a country where its maneasteres and lits government were carried on spots the most happy and poop footing ; and that the Bank was an is slitstien devoted to the common good of the coun try. rather than to the enriching of its Directors. Lord WHITWORTH is now returned from France, and consequently the French are relieved rauw a thou : send different conjectures. Ms• CASIMIR. AHD CUR has been proposed at a Cuffro.hosse, east of Templmbar, to I determine which is the greatest truth-teller, Mr CANNING or Mr. COURIER ; for while the latter fiats upon it that trade and finance lioari.h, and that lall ought to rejoice that they are so well off ; the for. me says, that rrrrg man's interest is dammed with patience and allentton, and silk skill and knoakdge in the Hesse of Commons; oh , as Mr. Eusoa observe", " when the question was to be finally determined by the Muse, whether five hundred and thirteen petitions for Reform, mitt, a host of written si gna t u res to each, were to be received or not, a great majority of the Members i. 1.1 retired to the tavern : on the division, orly siaia.fuer Mem. beta out of 658 attended, and not mote than Ms of the slaty.four voted for the recep.ion of those num printed petitions." Hese were patience and attention wilt a witness. A constant Reader of the Srmixix wishes to he informed what is the annual Pilpoltre of maintain ing those useless appendages of State pomp, the Royal yachts ? The expensive establishment of the Commissariat in the colonies tiering peer., demands the particular attention of the Public.
