()croons 18. 1894. The following letter, from our Correspondent at Paris, wiq be read with considerable interest. It opens a full view of the artifices to which M. us Vit. torts has recourse to prolong his continuance in power. These artifices, our Correspondent seems to think, will prove successful, in which case we fear that the benevolent intentions of Custom; X. will be wholly frustrated by the arbitrary policy of his Minister. The sincerity of the KING will be suspected, and he will too soon share the odium and dis trust with which his Cabinet is everywhere regarded. The suggestions of the priesthood, and the influence of the emigrants, will, we fear, complete the KING'S conver sion from the gracious course he has hitherto been induced, by the native Fondness of his heart, to follow ; and the worst presages office reign of CHARLES X. wit' unhappily be rea lised. An event, which may now be daily apprehended, would alone diffuse indescribable alarm through Frans•. VC allude to the accession, or, perhaps, the exclusion of tlie DAV 'HI N from the royal councils. The KING has dome enough to show that he means well towards his sub jects ; but we begin t► dread that he wants that firmness of purpose which would enable him to compel his Ministers I give his people the practical benefit of his wishes. It i s p h the interest of all Europe, and of this country in particular, that the French nation should be governed by a tnild and liberal policy, that we witness with deep regret the decay of the hopes which the personal carriage of the newly-mended MONARcn had inspired. We are utterly indiffer.nt u to the parties who are caballing or in triguing for office in that kingdom. We care not who is Minister. provided we saw hint acting upon that sou id constitutional system which is essential to the welfare of his country and the peace of the world. We cannot contemplate either the domestic or foreign policy of 111. us VII.I.V.LE with satisfaction. Ilia violent proceedings with regard to the elections and the public journals, huh cate too plainly that the hostility he avowed in 1814 to the (liana actuates him as strongly as ever ; and we cannot even think of Spain without execrating the atrocious per -114 of which he made his deceased master the instrument. We trust, however, that our melancholy forebodings may lie disappointed, and that the future moderation of M. arc n.►.t.►:, should lie retain the premiership, may be more in accordance with the manifest feelings and disposition of the SOVEREIGN. PARIS, OCTOMER 13. The self-justlacatory letters of 111. DE Fitts:Le, which your sinittmmorary the (warier has fur some time been the channel of piediehing,—those particularly I mean which contained a pretended report of the pnweedings of the Council when it was resolved to re. more the Censorship, and all the other letters in which we are told, ty by day, that 31. DE V 31.1. E LE will remain Minister for ever, . -have for several days engrossed the attention of the French Papers arid the Parisian public. It is known here positively that these letters are written by N. Li wove, the principal editor of the at Paris. This gentleman was formerly in the service of 14. i) Et" AZ EA. fur much the same reason that he is now iii that of M. nr: VILLE e.s: ; indeed, he has been in the service of all tie r! misters who have required the aid of his talents. lle is yet ■ awing man. Ills style Is not without grace and fluency, and his fawning is specious and persuasive. hir Correspondent then states some particulars respecting some i private transactions and family Olin. of M. lit aiiar, which we du not choose to publish.l This gentleman is the official champion of the .Ministry in the Jo, r rd dr Paris. and elsewhere. Upon the whole, I think the partisans of the l'residentof the Council appear of late more confident of the firmness of his seat . They all agree in stating, that M. tit: VIELIEZ has presented a vary lung and violent Report to the K two, relative to the been. catoiness of the journals since the removal of the Censorship. They a:ssi say that his Illsa ewes' is much irritated. In consequence of the attacks made upon his Minisnos, and that he has declared that all the praises bestowed upon him personally, do not hinder him Lien feeling. that the insults gum to the Ministers whom he Clinks lit to retain, in t.ct recoil upon hist. This rumour is. per. Vs?s, circulated by the Minister uoly to intimidate the Opposition ; but it is also possible that the faint may be quite true. Consider_ fr g as things, you must not be surprised if the Minister, by recall-' I: , g to thr Lass's memory the excesses of the Revolution, and by vetending to appreboad a aim tlar result from measures of* port. lu character, should suet ersl ita prolonging that absnlute system o ministerial power, which, in his eyes, scents to by the only safe n tale of government. DE Pt:v OM NeT, who, to speak candidly, data not pretend to hold Wilke disinterestedly, has just purchased a line and vs. I,able estate. It is remarked at the Bar, that neither of his reedy- Crosson, Mat.txitEsaca nor n'At.utaseau, understood, like him, tOo art of growing rich by their Ministry. The ativices from Constantinople, which have tracheal ut through the German Papers, corroborate an opinion on M which we stroligly insisted some months ago, via.: that the Pacha of Earri has never been sincerely desirous of giving Lis assistance to the Poars for the subjugation of the Greeks, any further than the prosecution of the de signs of the ttivan might agree with his own ambitious projects. We suspected that his wishes were fixed on the Island of Camila, and we find, from the last nutnbers of the Sm'', area, that no doubt of the fact exists in the Le vant. That journal has published several letters from Candia, which unquestionably prove the intentions of the PILCH A to add that important island to the vast territory he has already under his authority. The Editor of the Sm . yrttenn scents to considi r the acquisition as completely made, though, according to other intelligence, the troops of Mr it sw Er At I occupied only those places into which the Turkish garrisons had admitted them. The Greeks, who were defctittd by inaccessible mountains, had the entire command of the country. The Srnyraeott represents the state of the island in a letter from a native thus:— " The Cretans have lost their liberty, but they have the happi ness of living under the paternal Government of Melt EMET ALI Paean. During the ephemeral reign of our independence, we suirer,sl continually from troubles, alarms, and dangers. Our unhappy country was the prey of every evil. General To st•HASI, whom the Provisional Government of Greece sent amongst us, I only hastened our ruin, in spite of the goodness of his intentions• Crete was divided between two parties. The Genera/, instead of endeavouring to unite them, put himself at the head of one of the factions, hoping thereby to make the other submit, and afterwards to govern the island without difficulty. Ile was, however, greatly deceived. Ilia conduct irritated the faction he appeared to contemn, and all became confusion. Though To m All ASI, at first, gained several advantages over the Egyptians, yet they soon overcame all our resistance, in consequence of the anarchy that everywhere prevailed amongst us. We expected only death from the Viceroy's phalanges, but we received life and security. The Greek is now on a footing of equality with the Alussulman. We follow our business fre:ly. Agriculture is encouraged by the Government. We foresee that the fortune of ('rete will be much improved in a few years, If OW country follows the path into'which MEHEMET Act PACHA has introduced us. At present we have no cow meree." From the same papas we extract the following letter, dated from Napoli di Romania : " The definitive establishment of the Greek Government in this city is a great step towards the improvement of the internal affairs of Greece. Fresh energy is isifuscd into every department, espe cially since the receipt of a considerable sum, the produce of the loan. The organisation of the interior of the Pcloponnesus is carried on with the utmost rapidity, and a systematic regulation of the revenue is in progress for the thlrayment of the expenses of the war. A decree has been issued fur putting arms into the hands of all who are able to bear them. All the talent of Greece Is here drawn into a focus. A small regular army is disciplined chiefly for the defence of our fortresses. This place is provisioned for • long blockade. It is known that the Ifydriots and Spectiots have transported their families to the Mores. Troops are going every day to defend Hydra and Sperxia. The former is quite surrounded with walls and fortifications ; but we rather think its topographical position will save it from the Egyptian phalanges. A body of Solvents, the companions of the celebrated Hozzaars, is at Hydra, where lien...teal Ourssx us is expected. The Provisional Govern ment is about to Rend a corps of 6.000 men against Patna, and another of G.OUO against Corinth ; as it is said the Egyptians intend to land at one of those two plates." We publish in another column the Greek official des patches of seine further military and naval advantages gained over the Turks. The expedition against Samos must be abandoned for the present year, which will con clude, like all its predecessors, since the commencement of this struggle, with glory and triumph to the Greeks. On land too the Turkish forces have been defeated. The Greeks have been victorious at Ampliani, in the vicinity of Salons, and on the ever-mere cable field of Marathon. That they will succeed in achieving their independence, it would be ridiculous now to affect to doubt, unless (which we earnestly hope may not happen) their good fortune should lead them, in a blind and mistaken confidence in their own strength, to involve themselves in hostilities with the Great Powers of Europe. It is to be expected, if the Provisional Government should persevere in their refusal to revoke the proelamat . , authorising their mariners to attack, burn, or sink, together with their crews, all neutral vessels in the service of the Turkish Government, orders will be issued by the other maritime states similar to those given by our Admiralty ; and in that event the Greek navy, the most important instrument for their emancipa tion, will be speedily annihilated. In the elst number of the Hydra Gazette, there is published a list of the European vowels employed in the Egyptian expedition, from which it appears that there are twenty-six sail under the flag of England, thirty-five under that of Austria, and one under that of Sardinia. We are glad to see, that of the vessels under the English flag, only one Captain seems, by his name, to be a native English man ; 6 the rest arc probably Maltese. Whilst, however, we view with disgust the conduct of those mercenary and unprincipled men who have engaged themselves to assist in the extirpation of the Christian population of the Mores, we cannot be insensible to the duty of the English Govern ment to vindicate the neutral rights of its subjects trading in the Levant. We may wholly disapprove of the mea sures of the Turkish Government, but still we must not forget thnt we are on terms of peace and amity with it ; nor should we manifest any proof of our political morality, if, in violation of the obligations we owe, by solemn and repeated treaties, to an old and faithful friend, we were, on the ground that its severity towards its insurgent subjects was greater than, in our opinion, the necessity of the case warranted, to depart from that even course of neutrality which we have strictly observed since the atten tion of the British Government has been directed to the contest. The Turkish Government knows well that money, arms, and aid of every kind, have been freely supplied by British subjects; and it has several times formally com plained of what it has conceived to be an undue bias on the part of the British Government in favour of the Greeks ; but sanguiauary and violent as the Turks may be, they have not publicly announced their determination to put to death every British subject who has given assistance to the Greeks. If they had, the British Government must have interfered " for the protection of the commerce and lives of its sot jects ;" and what the British Government would and ought to have done egainst the Turks, equal justice re quires that it should and ought to do against the Greeks. It may not be amiss to recall to the memory of our readers what passed in the House of Comment on this subject, durin4 the Session of Itat.—ln the month of May, Mr. Ilene stated in his place in Parliament, that it had been reported that lhitish cruisers bad, upon several occasions , of rat., not res,neted the Greek flag, in the actual blockade of some Turkish ports. and had gone so far as to compel 4 ships to give up English vowels, which they had taken in the act of conveying supplies to Turkish forts ; and he repressed a hope that the British Government would act on nieul part between the Greeks and Turks in she present contest. Mr. Secretary CANNING, in reply, arid, that its one or two inAanees the I lOW at bad been in!Ursiteil of a violation of the Illreek blockade; but that, in one instance especially, which came to their knowledge a fortnight before, they had immediat. ly sent out most i•ositire orders that the British cruisers should respect alike the blockade of In.th Powers. • The ship MM.:. Capt. It. Mitsui.r TON. THE BRITISH PRESS. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. performance of On Saturday ni g ht we ag ain witnessed the " the Romantic opera," as it is called, of I)cr freisrbutz ; or the Black Hun tsman o f Bohemia, which attracted a very crowded house. For the sake of the manager we were glad to see this: as far, too, as public curiosity is concerntst, we were pleased with it ; but if we arc to receive this attrac tion us evidence of the public taste, in this view of it we begin to murmur, and to exercise that privilege of discon tent, which, as Englishmen, we hold to be one of the chief rights of man. To confess the crud, we have no honest liking for the GI. away Drama, whether in the shape of tragedy or opera ; and whether the incidents are of this world or the world of romance. It may be, perhaps, that we are of a temperament that has no sort of sympathy with spectres of the night and Mock llantsmrn of the Forest ; or that our reason is too stubborn to submit to all the mon strous demands that arc made upon it ; or that there is no correspondent chord in our bosom that vibrates with all these superhuman attacks upon our sensibility. Be the cause what it Ina!, such is the fact : we have an utter distaste to the modern theatricals of the German school, and we know of no one of its pro suctions ever exhibited on the stage at either house, that we could refer to, as abating our aversion one jot. Not that we mean to deny that such writers is GOETHE, LENSING, and have, each in their respective provinces, very high claims to praise ; we are aware, too, of die great merits of LEISLWITZ and Galt sr a sear:, and of several other crack names, that, if they were not difficult and dangerous to pronounce, we might add to the list. Rut with all their beauties,—and they have many,—their dramatic pieces are not calculated for dramatic exhibition. In the Tragedy, for example, of GOETZ VON BERILECHINGEN, our of the best productions of Goarite, knights ou horseback appear on the stage among the dramatis presume, and views of towns and castles in flames constitute a part of the necessary scenery. A German dramatist is never at rest but when he is har rowing up our feelings: our imagination is perpetually " frightened from it. propriety ;" his sublimity always reach, above " the seventh heaven ;" and his horrors have no fathom ; there is always " In the lowest deep, a lower still." Ile is not content that we should be struck, we must be thunderstruck : we must feel with his heroines through all their extremes ; we have no choice between " heartfelt rapture" and " shuddering agony." Now, we have really no fondness for Al this wildness and extravagance : there may possibly be some who fuel quite at hotrie amidst all these desperate doings, but we could never brace ourselves up to the relish of so 111116 emotion ; we can delight at all times to follow nature, but we do not care to be carried so far out of bounds. To return to the opera of Dix FREI/CHUM The overture on Saturday evening was, as mina:, encored. We assuredly mean no disrespect to the composer, Cant. MARI. Vox W Lusa, when we affirm, that we have known many overtures touch better entitled to this distinguished honour, that have never obtained it. But in all time things there is a fashion. To our ear, there is nothing in it of that mini sise and impressive melody which ought to he found in whatever can deservedly call forth any extraordinary testimony of ap probation. Its most prominent passages are not new, and the abrupt transithms from the soft adagio to the sweeping ercult from the whole orchestra, is far frotn pleasing in its effect. The true force and feeling of music are not pro- ducts! by pouncing upon us in this way—and as to erre:- Jim', it is utterly destroyed by all these attempts to startle and surprise; nothing can be more distant from the per fection of the science than the too frequent recurrence of these sudden contrasts. No one should know this truth better than M. MrtiEll, if we may judge from such of his compositions as are left to assert their own beauty, and in which there is no straining after ell;•et. In the Po tat CA, by Miss Love, beginning, _" When • lover kneels before her" the style of the music is not at all suited to the words. The sanitation of the one to the Anr is essential in every song, for without this there can be no real excellence. The Asi• of " From her open casement bending," was well given by (Mr. Pearman); but here again the loud and disconlant clash of the instruments, imme diately before the line " Este has of every Wise bereft me," comes not only most unexpectedly, but most offensively on the ear. If it is meant to represent, as we suppose at is, the repetition of Caspar's threats and ineneuiluns we con sider all such attempts to square the sound to the sense as abaunl, and beneath any composer of eminence. iVe re member " The cries of the wounded," in the Battle Prague, by KorzEsur, and that the same notes would equally well describe a knot of boys playing at see-saw, or at shuttlecock. At the same time, we do not forget " The TA is the fe," of lIANnEt ; but the instance there is memorable ; it is one of those happy efforts of human genius which is never twice attempted with suc cess. In the " Why thus give way to sadness ? None can Fate control," by Mr. Thum the instrumental accompaniment is in a tone of deep and tender feeling which is exquisite. The composer has here shown a true knowledge of effect, and has displayed it inimitably. • I lope with to.tnnerow's dawn may wake," in the flank of the first act, is finely act, and was admi rably sung. In the Citorpa or HUNTERS, which concludes it, the vocal bursts are both too shrill and too sudden ; the ear is not prepared for them, and is deafened instead of being delighted. We have only to remark further, the sweetly pathetic re citative iu the second act of— • Heart, wilt thou rest thee never ?" which was deliciously sung by Miss Paton, and in which we were again forcibly struck with the subdued tone of the accompaniment, but which, though subdued, was affecting and appropriate, and wasjde to be so. The At in beginn:ng " Thou whore hand the wind unchaineth," is set to strains of solemn harmony, to which Miss Paton gave the inmost aid of vocal expiesaion, and here again the accompaniment was bewitching. MR. nAr:vis AND MISS FOOTS. Mr. Ilayne has published the following, in reply to the state ment in our last:—•• It never was my intention to have troubled the public with any eircunotanoes which have taken place between Alias Foote and myself, had I not felt something wee due to truth, in the contradiction of those paragraphs, which made it necessaary my Attorney should do, in your columns of riatunlay. There I had hoped the matter would have rested, until the ;fiction Alias Foote has thought proper to commence, developed every thing; but the notice taken of n in your paper, compels me, reluctantly, to put the 'public in poustnoion of facts which, I think, will justify my conduct, intending to leave my powers of contradicting such statements to the proper time anti place. Delicacy to the lady would almost silence me. did I not heel and know it is so little attended to by, or heeded on her part. " But to the point:-1 was nut aware, when I made a proposal to Mos Fiette• that she bad ever been under the protection of Colonel Berkeley—her father and mother having always upheld land I believed) her to be a paragon of virtue ; and had not Colonel Berkeley, in the latter end of June last, in the presence of James Masse, IKsq. (as the Colonel's friend), and Thomas Best. I;sq. las my friend), owned her having had children by him, the youngest then not a month old, I should hare been in igno rance of the facts, until too late to retrieve my happiness. If I were to every other circumstance public at this moment. I should not only be anticipating the defence I have a: the approach ing trial, but might rather increase the anxiety, than •• relieve the minds of Alin Foote's friends." My withers arc unwrung. Now it word for Mr. Foote, who, tinder the plea of purchatting • pay mastership, borrowed the sum of one thousand one hundred and fifty pounds from me. May I ask (if he is in this country) to what lititp.ilte it has been appropriated, being given to understand s that the CAT of being called upon to return it Will induced him to .nike a cntinentsl tour ? The mention of the above facts • us? of the vt.ttly.,* will, I trust, induce the public to suspend their further opinion until the appeal made to the Court of King's Bench is decided. And in thus intruding noun their notice, I ellabOt but congratulate myself at my escape." Mr. liean'a benefit at the Theatre in Cork, amounted in the aggregate to above VOW.

Extract of a private letter, dated Madrid, October Y : " The arrest of the former Minister of Finance, M. Erro, is certain. Ills papers have been sent to Madrid by an active courier. The following are some details respecting this arrest, which has caused great surprise. M. Eno has been three days at Valladolid when a Colonel, furnished with the order of the Captain-General, presented himself to him, and ordered him to the College of Santa Cruz, the place appointed for his detention. The officer also de manded all his papers. M. Erro obeyed immediately. We are assured that these papers contain nothing relative to political affairs, nor even to the public administration.— Nevertheless, they persist in saying that M. Erro was im plicated in the affair of the late Minister of War, Cruz. It appear* certain that the order for the arrest has not come from any Minister, but from the Cabinet of the King. M. Etro formed part of the Junta established at Oyarzum by the Duke d Angouleme. In 1823, under the Re gency, lie was Minister of Finance."

We (the Liverpool Mercury of Friday) have been kind ly favoured by a commercial gentleman of this town with the following important extract of a letter, dated Smyrna, Yet of S.ptembt r, being a duplicate despatched by the way of Toulon by a French ship of war, transmitted from Mar seilles, and received here yesterday, prior to the arrival of the Turkey mail of the same date, now due. The intelli gence which it conveys relative to the defection of the Turkish troops on learning the fate of their countrymen at Samos is curious; and no doubt can be entertained of the extent of the panic stated to be excited am cmgst them, ' the writer of time letter being, himself, we are assured, hostile to the Greek cause ;—" The Turks have been panic struck by the Greeks having blunt a frigate, brig, and cor. vctte, by their fire-ships. The greater part of the army immediately disbanded, and the fleet is said to have left the vicinity of Saint's. Such proceedings are quite wonderful. There is yet no improvement in business ; hotted cause ex- ' ists for it to be even more dull than hitherto, in conse quence of a rrreat portion of the hundred thousand men as sembled at Scala Nuova, having disbanded to return home. ' The roads are covered with them in every thrertion, and they plunder every thing they meet. Even the Turkish Ambassador from the Porte to the Viceroy of Egypt hiss not been respected, having been robbed of every thing he possessed—even his clothes." _ - . His Majesty's yacht Herald. Captain Henry J. Lecke, is ordered to be completed to a blimp of war's coinplemet.t of the first class, as a permanent rstablismcnt. She will sail in about a fortnight for the West Indies, taking out the Rev. Dr. Lipscomb, Bishop of Jamaica, and the Rev. Dr. Coleridge, Bishop of Barbadoes, with several other l'lerwnu•n attached to their respective Sets. The Bishop of Birhadoes will embark at Plymouth. Accounts were received by the family of Mr. Abel Aubrey, at Kensington. on Sstunlay, that that gentleman was killed in a duel with a Captain France, on Tuesday last, about four miles from Rotten, by the canal side. a ball having entered his right side, and bulged in the body ; front the etF•cts of which he survived but a few hours. The ptarrel originated at a ball-room. Yesterday se'nnight, Dr. Chalmers preached at Stock port to a very numerous and opulent clam:legation, on be half of the Sunday School in that place, when the atlmi riots feed to the chapel, and the collection alter the sermon, amounted to the extraordinary aunt of 395/. It is stated in Gulignanis Messenger of Friday, thy. a rumour that a great quantity of Three per Cent. Stock would he issued, to indemnify the ernigrtnts, had pro duced little ett'ect on the Funds, which had recovered their former vices. PIRIS. tritois ov■ CORIIICSPONTMST.I PAN'S, OCT. 13, The I evee which took place at the Tuileries on Stu. day, was squally brilliant and well attended as fil e t o, and it was remarked that a great rumber cf the Opp ci i tkt were present. I :eat ral VINCENT being placed n ese L i Majesty, the Duke de Ft TZ4AMES Cattle lip to him said, " General, have the goodness to give your plac e! , General as his Majesty wishes to speak with his. lie is somewhere in the rooms, and you will, perhaps, at tk t same time, oblige me by assisting t find hiul•" Th ey ae , cordingly both went in search of him, and the Duke, on pe r , ceiving him, said, " General, the King ix desirous to srak with you." The General hesitated for a moment, at if distrusting that lie was the person intended, when a t Duke immediately added, " Ceat rota menu., Grand Ge►ard, tine le Roi firif demander." The Gencralimise. diately followstl, and the King, on his approach, sa,i rm , ing him very graciously said, "General, I was inquirin g fee you, and am most happy to see you. I wish to cam eo . % you the high sense I entertain of your exalted services, and I have not forgotten, that on my return to France it slat° you I forwarded the first commission of G.:paid-la. Chief." (El je teal point oubli, l go' d mon rasa► re France, eest d rows quefai erpedii: la premiere commiss(wi (le General en Cher) You will perhaps recollect, that in 1814 his Modesty, then Count IrAavots, and Lieutenant-General of the Kingdom, sent General Gs/Ann, with the title of Gem rd in Chief, to Marnburgh, to fetch the corps of the French army that was in that place. It is well known that he was twice named Deputy for Paris, and that he always took his seat on the Opposition side. N. BENJAMIN CONAPAET was also prevnt at the Levee, and was received by the King in the most gracious manner; the DAUPHIN likewise ael. dressed him with marked affsbility, expressing, at the sam e time, his wish to sec him oftener. All these, as far as they go, arc favourable indications, but still, the new reign makes no progress towards the in. troductian of a just and liberal system. We should, how. ever, be guilty of injustice if we ascribed this either to the agency or to the influence of Cis A 'LEI X. His views and his wishes are in favour of his people, but they are detested by the machinations and intrigue of his Ministers, who feel that they cannot maintain themselves in power but by preventing the truth from reaching his ears: they are ac cordingly leagued together for that purpose, with a watch fulness that makes their success by no means unlikely. What they consider as of the first importance is, to verify their prediction at the Council-table, of the consequeoCes which would follow the removal of the Censure. They then declared, that ere three months had elapsed, the Jour nals would run into such excises as would make Govern. ment repent the having deprived itself of the power it hal abandoned. The fact is, that the Ministers are themselves the unprincipled agents for accomplishing their own pro. phecy. M. Dexteoe, ei-derant Secretary of the tbjialle Cotten ade Censure, is appointed to pick out every morning, from the Opposition Journals, particular phrases and fragments of passages, which he alters and JO:sifter, and forthwith proceeds to come-.• rat upon them as gessise extracts, and to show how fatal a tendency they have to restore the rebellous regime of 1793, to revive the doctrines of regicide, the massacre of the priests,—the abolition of the nublessr,—in a word, to give hack the Revolution, with all its atrocities, and with all its horrors. An extract from this precious Remted appears every evening in the Etude, under the tide of Esprit des females lib'rales. Care is taken to bring this daily before the eyes of his Majesty, who, having no time to read all these journals, is artfully in duced by M. see to believe that be has here a sample of what that part of the public press is, which calls itself liberal, and he is left to reflect at leisure upon what must be the inevitable result of Ais systematic scheme la undermine the MONARCH r, and to subvert social order, if strong and decisive measures are not adopted to suppress it. Ile hopes by this means to succeed in prevailing on the King, either to approve some measures of this cast, which he has in contemplation to bring forward at the opening of the Chambers, or to induce him to consent to the re-establishment of the Cr y or rt. The devoted adherents of M. Pi. Ytr ens r have formed a coalition, for the purpose of paralyzing the influence of the Duke D'Aricsour.eme, which lately overswayed them in the Council. Their leading of is to defeat every pro position which die Duke may bring forward, either tend ing to expose the acts of their administration, or favouring any measure of indulgence, or of compromise. What they have most at heart is, to preclude any beneficent interpo sition on behalf of the unfortunate persons transported from MAII et N IQ!' P., anti to prevent the passing an art of am nesty for political offences. The Duke has more than oece expressed himself favourable to both these objects ; but the Ministers joined with one accord to assure his Royal Highness, that he had been sorely imposed upon on these important points; that advantage hail been taken of hit humanity and love of justice; that they could produce clear and legitimate proof of this; and they accordingly drew from their portfolios a mass of pretended dal-timed , , to testify the fact. The Duke has, of course, no ,Gunter documents to produce. The King concludes fur the pre sent that his son is deceived, and there the matter rests. But is it not monstrous thus to deceive the Sovereien, on whose goodness and justice it is that the people of France must ultimately rely? Is it not lamentable that all the best intentions of CHARLES X. should be frustrated by the ambition and selfishness of his solviwrs? It is confidently hoped that these men will be dismissed front the councils, and that others will be chosen, under whom a manly, dignified, and honest system of policy, may be pursued, which will not seek to be supported by corruption, or to he screened by a Censure. But this event, essential as it is to the best interests both of the King and the people, becomes every day more problematical. I must not conclude this letter without mentioning the sad blunder which the Marquis DE Darez-Bricze made the other day, in excusing himself to CIi•RILLS X. The Marquis is Grand Master of the Ceremonies at the Tuile ries; and is well known not to be overburthened with sense—to be, in short, an homme de feet peg desprit. the day of the removal of the body of Louis XVIII. to Si. Denis, CHARLES X., after the ceremony was over, ex pressed to the Marquis his extreme displeasure at the irre gularity and huddle with which it hail been conducted. " Rico," said the KING to Vim, " n'etait en ordre ; per nme ne cannuissait k rang derail lerendre, jamais Ca n'u its plus de rmfusion duns us curter."—" Sire," replied the Marquis, "it must be remembered that this is the first time that I ever hail a procession of this nature ro arrange ;. but I assure your Majesty, that at the next ceremony o f the same kind that I have to direct, every thing shall be touch better managed ;" (tout ira hien mhos.)
