The confusion and inconvenience arising out of this is extreme: To shut up all places of amusement for so long aseason Is unreasonable ereeel: ; but to shut up the Exchange also, and put an fed, during the same long period, to all the pecuniary tracsartions of mercantile agents, stockbrokers, fund hohlers, and the whole of that commercial class whose con cerns require them to be at all times in a state of prompt art! pm:etual intercourse—it is really monstrous ! The death of a Sovereign may surely be deplored without carry g its outward fortes to so revolting an excess. A respect for decorum on such an occasion is always becoming, but interference of the civil pores. to (sect it to an extent this is most outrageous. The ordinary feelings of na t..:re en such an occasi . ou, if left to themselves, will always Pre. in the channel : while so left they are sincere, and they are rational ; but when constrained by the corn sr ands of °Mee to go so much beyond the point to which ten:lron sense and the course of nature would carry them, the whole becomes nothing less than a forced, and there-', fore a farcical solemnity. No proceeding, besides, can be rwre impolitic. You stifle in the people all those 'emi r:tett, of honest regret which they would otherwise cherish, end you carry their feelings into an opposite direction by the interests which you interfere with, and the privations y4u create. Lours XVIII. has exchanged an earthly ter a heavenly crown. Ile was a man with many virtues, and we may safely J'ave his subjects to cherish his me rwry " Cest, en re monde, as.sez." To attempt to inocu late the sorrows of the Sepulchre upon the speculations of tb' Stock Exchange, is a fully that smacks of insanity. The people have rn sympathy to spare for an event that is made to bring with it so much of pecuniary loss and per rental annoyance. There is no merchant or bourgeoLl in Paris. that, however he may lament the death of the Kt NO, wia nut latr.ent still more that it should be made to inter free with the despatch of business. The commerce of Pearce, moreover, wants at this moment all the aid and all the activity that can beg:ven to it. If its present rulers carnot wsist it by their wisdom, they should, at least, not embarrass it by their folly. 1111011 OUR COIIIIPONDENT.I PARIS, SEPT. 14. 3IAJESTY LOUIS Tier. EIG/ITEENTII is co moor. On this tryst important event I shall at this moment make no comment. It is pregnant with results perhaps of the last importance to En raipe, wl cn emuldered in relation to the personal character of his Successor, and the political system which will now be acted upon in all its rigour, and will be followed up to the full measure of its erects. The Exchange, the louvre, the public theatres, are all otdered to be closed for six weeks. The 31inisters called late last night to make their inquiries at the palace. M. DE VILLELE Daly was admitted. Whatever may be stated in the bulletins, the KING was in such a state of complete insensibility ever since Sun day night, as to recognise no one. Ile had no - such farewell inter view with his family as is there stated. The Duke ofthisrags arrived at lislf-past eleven Lot night at the TuiSeries, as did the Pettier DON 311litEi, but neither were admitted. The intelligence we have received from our Correspon dent in Spain represents the condition of that unfortunate country as becoming, if possible, worse daily. Trade km and though the taxes arc increased, they arc Itsa productive. " Within the last four months the public re venue lias.diminished at least one third." We quote the words of Our Correspondent, whom we know to be well-in formed es to the subjects on which he writes. The KING amuses himself by making continual changes in his Cabi net. No Minister is secure in his favour for a week. The consequence is, that no regular system of Government can be adopted or carried into execution. All is chaos, and the Rey :Veto enjoys, to the fullest extent of his unbridled ca price, the prerogatives of his absolute sovereignty. The rt , -establishment of the Inquisition is among the rumours which agitate and alarm his unhappy subjects, and, con , sidering that Frani xwxn draws no small share of his personal exp.nses from the clergy, and is wholly in different as to the character of his measures, it is not unlikely that the dungeons of the Holy Office may be again tenanted, and its fires rekindled, unless France should interpose her vtto on the horrible de sign. It is not easy, to conjecture bow the French Government will disengage itself from its Spanish bur then. FLUDINAND'S notion of absolute power renders it impossible to manage with him. He will listen to no advice that tends in the slightest degree to abridge his beloved despotism. Ile acts in a manner which must throw the whole state in confusion, the moment the French army Is withdrawn. whenever that may be. The most dreadful excesses will infallibly ensue: and looking at the actual state of things, we cordially join with Mr. CAN. KING, in the wish he expressed in the House of Com mons, that, for tho sake of humanity, it is desirable that the military occupation of Spain should be prolong.A. If the French Government, would compel his Cerno LTC MAJLSIY to give his people some, representative in stitutions, we should without disapprobation see the French army continued in Spain, until the new political machine was duly set in motion ; for at present we foresee notl:ing but endless calamities front the conflicts of extreme principles. It will be observed that our Correspondent mentions that another party of Revolutionists have landed at Huelva and have escaped into the woods. Yet, such is our opinion of the gross fatuity of FI:IDINAND and his men of the Faith, that we should not be surprised if they wete to make an effort to send sway the French troops, in order that they might satiate their revenge on the Consti tutionalists, perhaps by another massacre like that of St. Bartholomew.

The orders which had been given for making the necessary pre parations for the departure of their 316.1ESTIES and the Patxc ES, have been countermandede they had intended to quit this Royal residence on the 7th current, and to have returned to Madrid. His DlA:mi., in the present prospect of affairs, does not feel die. posed to return so early to his capital. It is believed that he will go shortly to the Escurial. Letters received from Burgos an nounce, that the Archbishop's Palace is preparing for their MA. ITSTIEV reception. M. Mkt LASTIIROS still continues in of as Minister of Ft. nonce; thae is no doubt, however, that his removal is resolved upon. M. ATMERIC, the new Minister of War, ed interim, has made greet changes among the persons employed under him. Several heads of departments 'see been displaced. Among the chief arc, 3131 OSEDL, TORiIeADO, EYDITE, SAOCHIA, I'ASAILLO, and r !nos. Many chr.nges are rumoured as about to take place In the upper branches of Administration. It is said that the Minister for Fo reign .teuirs will be superseded by the Minister of the Home De paruntnt, and the portrVimilk of the latter will be confided either to the Councillor of btate, Rosa, or to the new superintendent. GeneraLof Polies, who, in his turn, will be succeeded In his ap pointment by the Chancellor of Grenada, who has been sent for to Court for that purpose. The Duke INFAIf TAD° is db.° said to be reinstated in the Royal favour, and is to be nominated Presi dent of the Council of Camille. The state of our finances becomes daily more deplorable; how can it be otherwise, under a Government which annihilates the whole spirit of commerce, by destroying all the principles of free. dun, ? Trade has no stimulus; wealth has no security. Our prin cipal merchants and landholders hare emigrated; the taxa on articles of the very first necessity have been increased within thew few clays, and the restrictions imposed on certain other articles make them almost wholly unproductive to the Royal Treasury t so much so. that within the last four months the public revenue has diminished at least oree-thirel; In proof of this we need only cite the article of gunpowder. The sale of this article, which pro. dueed to the Exchequer en income of fro.n sixty to seventy thou. card rids per month, has not, within each of the last four months, proieced more than twenty thousand! What Government Can 10 on 11!:lial ruck a defalcation ? A part of the militia which we have here at present arc to be marched immediately into flallicia and the Asturias. Every pre. parat.,.:t is making which the impoverished state of the finances will admit to hasten their departure- An old otlicer, named JALLAUT, has just been brought into our prison, said to have been the chief of a band which was begin. ning to organise itself in the mountains in the neighbourhood of Toledo. The re.establisliment of the rovarition is now apoken of more thLn ever; but it is to be hop:4 that the influence of the French Cabinet sill be applied to oversule the intention of re.establiahing t,is horrid tribunal. Ily the last Iztters received from Anil&luals, we learn that the Revolutiorista having effected a disembarkment at Huelva, in the kingdom cf Seville, the Captain.lieneral sent all his disposable forma to mem them, and at their approach they fled into the woods. A number of /Accra, not on active service, dilictsed among the villages of this province, and who are suspected of holding intelli. ger.ce with the Revolutioniats, have been arrested and carried to Seville, where the populace assailed them as they passed over the bridge of Triana. We. learn from the provinces of Navarre, Rioja, Arragon, and BUT&;04, that the affair of Tarifa has occasioned the most lament. able excesses to be nominated by the populace against the (;ousel. tutienalista, who find no security but in those towns in which there are French garrisons, which proves that the presence of the French armies in the Peninsula can hardly yet be dispensed with. Many, indeed. look forward with the utmost alarm to the period when their term of occupation expires, which will be on the first of next January ; and their firs are augmented, on learning that the Fr-r. eh Ambassador had sent a note to our Government, intimat. log, that if the term fixed was not extended. orders would be given that they 'hotel.: begin to evacuate the hospitals. What wawa our Government has returned to this note Is not known. By the last Paris Papers we learn, that the late hive died after long and severe agony. It was not expected that age and infirMity had left him enough stamina of life to entail so much suiferin,g in the struggle of nature with death. We arc toy that " Lotus supported it as he had borne misfortune." We have no disposition to enter into a controversy with some of our contemporaries respecting the character of the departed Mos; A t CI:, though we have viewed with ineFable disgust the attempts that have been made to calumniate hint. Whatever virtues the malice of party may have denied hint, the praise:of fortitude through a course of the most extraordinary licissitude, was at least his due ; and it appears that on his death-bed he evinced the same tranquil reliance on the Divine goodness, and submitted himself with decorous firmness to the will of Gel. In him the French people have lost the best Sove reign that ever sat upon their throne. II I:NLY IV. with all his goodness of heart, did little for the country, and that little scarcely survived him. To Loris XVIII. was reserved the honour of founding the political institutions of France on a romosma l . vissimmEntossumni wise and liberal basis. When an unexampled combination of audacity and treason hail overthrown his work and driven him again from his kingdom, his first care on his return was to re-establish and confirm anew the Constitutional Charter, and ensure the civil and religions liberties of a people who had offiTed him the strongest provocation and the best excuse to annul them altogether. Loci. XVIII. was not crowned, and there is some reason to believe that Cita RI. ES X. will not undergo that ceremony. It is known that the Coronation of the Kings of France cannot be performed now as it was before the Revolution ; but will it, therefore, be discontinued? The question sounds strangely, especially when it relates to a country like France, cf all others tie fondest of speetede; but how is the difficulty, to which we allude, to be overcome? We fear the sue cessors of Loots XVI. must be satisfied with the honour of wearing the crown, without the imposing solemnity of a formal coronation. We last night received the Brussels Papers of Saturday. From the extracts we give below it will be seen how re luctantly the Divan consent to the evacuation of the prin cipalities. It is manifest that if the Greek successes did not alarm the Ottoman barbarians, the point would tut be conceded. As it is, all the influence of the mediating powers, England an4l Austria, is hardly sufficient to induce the Turkish Ministers to give a positive assurance that the troops shall be withdrawn.—The Brussels Oracle of Thurs. day states, on the authority of a letter from Paris, that an expedition has sailed from Brest, to blockade the ports of Ilayti. We cannot believe that the French Government can be so silly as to attempt again the reduction of that island. France has undoubtedly sustained a grievous injury in the loss of St. Domingo, but experience has taught her that the colonists cannot be restored to their rights, but at an expense of blood and treasure far beyond their worth. Let France console herself as she can, for the irreparable mischief she has suffered from her revolutionary philan thropists ; atilt let us, profiting by the example, take care that our planters are not, by similar means, exposed to similar misfortunes. A VOSAIrIIG, SEPT. 10. Lore STIANGTOnn has just resumed his efforts to induce the Di van to give at length positive orders for the evacuation of the princi. palitics. lie has, to this end, transmitted to the Reis Effendi a very urgent note, in which he manifests the dissatisfaction of the Russian Cabinet at seeing that the Ottoman Government has no t yet taken any steps to fulfil Ps promises relative to liValiachia . He shows how weak the reasons arc which the Porte alleges fo r delaying indefinitely the evacuation of Moldavia. The Reis Effendi, it seems, not having been authorised to answer thi s note, the British Ambassador has demanded and obtained audiences of that Minister and of the Grand Vizier. We can only conjecture what passed at dine conferences. but i t is known that the opinion of a diplomatic character in Pere is, that Lord STIIAXGPORD wsa made sensible that the Grand Vizier and the Reis Effendi were sincere, but that their hands were tied, on account of the intrigues of a numerous party, which aims at their overthrow. This party, which has gained ground in the Divan, has succeeded in causing the departure of the Turkish troops fo the principalities, to be considered as contrary to the interest.. Of the Porte. This is the cause of the continual tergirersations of the Turkish Ministers, in the negotiations so long carried on by ti a Ministers of England and Austria, acting as mediators in the d f• fererces between Turkey and Russia. By the Sultan's order, some troops from various Government. lu Asia, have been was to join the Capi:an Pacha, but not a v. rah could be sent to reinforce his &et, which has suffered some loamse in the late affair which took place rear Mitylene. BRUSSELS, SEPT. lit A letter from Paris of the 14th says, the expedition for St Domingo has just sailed from Brest. It is not to attack by force, bnt to blockade the porta of the island. We have received Frankfort l'apers to the nth instant the most interesting extracts from which we subjoin: they are nowise remarkable, exceptin7 the communication, dated from Marseilles, in which the English arc said to render all the assistance in their power to the Turks in their en deavours to subjugate or rather to exterminate the Greeks. The outrageous folly cud falsehood of this charge are too well-known in this country to need refutation. The Divan regard the interference of the English in quite another light. The GIIAND St LTAN considers, and considers truly, that his rebellious subjects have no more sincere and efficient friends than the English. From what other quarter have tl.•e Greeks a tithe of the supply of arms and money which has been sent to them from England, tc say nothing of the great moral aid Greece has derived from the presence of several of our most distinguished countrymen ? The fo reign influence of England is not so much on the wane that It has become necessary for her to have recourse to such means as this French letter insinuates. At no period in our history as a nation was the attitude of England more commanding: never was her power greater, or her autho rity more respected. But we are told not only that the Ca. PITAN PAC/lA . B fleet is manned with British seamen, but that in Egypt also British agents are furnishing transports for the Vteraoy's expedition. The Sublime Porte would seem to be dependent on British support with a vengeance. Not an armament can be fitted out, but " British agents" must interfere to accelerate its departure. Dow unfortu nate for these calumiators that no En.;lisliman was found among the gang of v.:etches who were most righteously put to death at Ipsara, in the act of e.:.rying off the spoils of the murdered islanders, which they had bought of the savage pl unfortunate that at least some one Englishman should not have been found, at some time or other, in the Turkish ranks, Raided, as they have been, so often by Germans and Frenchmen! With respect to Egypt, we happen to be in possession of a fact, which in, due time, we suppose, will be brought forward in evidence against the English, as auxiliaries of the Itlusseltnana. The politic Vicraoy, in furtherance of the numerous and im portant improvements he meditates in Egypt, has engaged a body of English engineers, who will shortly leave this country, to erect several large picas of machinery. These we dare say, will be described, in a futere file of German Papers, as intimately connected with the horrible project of colonising Greece with a Bfahometan population. The following are the extracts to which we allude : I‘LIIISEILLES, Ara. J. According t thz news we have received from the Archipelago, there has rot been any real naval action, and the Capitan Pacita's fleet rs again assembled at illitylenc. Thz Ilydriot and Speariot vessAs„ and the remainder of the Ipsariots, c 'nerved the Turks, but up to the 20th July, had not attempted any attack upon them. It is certainly confirmed, that the Greeks again got pouession of Ipsara, but it will scarcely be possible to replace the island la the same formidable state of .defence it was in before; certainly it would require a long time, and a great deal of artillery must be pro-ured, as that which was in the island has been partly earned away and partly rendered unserviceal•la A great numbs of the Ipsariots, too, perished in the everts at ,he beginning of July. The rapitan had not begun any further operations, but he will be less likely to refrain from them, as he has lately receive► many goad European sailors, especially from the Erglish, who support him in every possible way. This latter circumstance is considered througi. out the Levant as an Indubitable fact, and semi to be the did means that England employs to maintain its inSuenee with the Porte. I.• , .NrnANcronn wlio practised this support, si-.dptrblbly di. erted it, romsir for Ow ptacut in Cunstlntinople, arid will probst.ly not /rave Turkey before the end of the campaign, and the entire arrangetnent of all the points to be settled between Russia and the Pone. In Egypt too the British agents war very active in hasten ing the departure of the expedition of the Vic LIOY ; they have even supplied ninny ships as transports for the troops Brr.tar, Srrr. 7. Senor don Juan Pars de Is Cadens', Counsellor of State of his Majesty the King of Spain, and Ambassulor Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, to the Court of Russia, has left this city to repair to St. Petersburgh. DARMSTADT, SEPT. 10. We have authentic information that a commercial treaty has been corcluded within these few days between the Cram! Duchies of Ihtlen and Besse Darmstadt, accoriing to which the manufactures of the two rester are to ray reciproctlly an import duty of 26 to SO Kreuzer per cwt.

STRAIIIVII6II, SZTT. 3. We learn that in the Deparmental Council on the 20th August, the project for reducing the interest of the public debt was spoken of. and the Council unanimously declared in favour of the project, and resolved that its declination, as cor.formable to the interest of the country, and commanded by the public good. ►hall be commu. nicateil to the Govemmen.. IVe receive information that the Councils of the adjoining Departments of the Upper Rhine, the M eurthe and the Vorges. have likewise come to a resolution in favour of the reduction of the interest. The 61st regiment of the line. formed at I.yor.s at the beginning of the war in Spain, which has ►iree been in garrison here, .uddenly received orders the day before yesterday to march to the North of France. It will be in garrison at St. Omer instead of another regiment, which is °nicht! to Paris. A Sussex Paper says—" His Majesty is not expected to return to the Pavilion until November.' Yestertlay afternoon, about five o'clock, the Duke of York arrived at his residence, in Stable-yard, St. James's, from his shoetintz excursion. Ili% Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence is expected to arrive at Portsmouth in a few days, to inspect this Di vision of Royal Marines. On Friday her Roril Highness the Duchess of Kent and suite reached Dover from Rartisirste, and proceeded, under a royal salute from guns at the Heights to Sandgate, on a visit to the Earl and (butts of Darnley. The Earl of Liverpool arrived in town last night from Mame'.

Earl Bathurst transacted business at the Colonial Office on Saturday. The Duke and Duchess of Bedford and family, and Lord William Russell, are at Inversbire. in liadenoch, where they will remain during the shooting season. Mr. Rothschild, of Paris, is stated in the Jou-nal des D,lats to have just purchased the chateau of Malmaison. His Majesty has lately sent a number of very choice plants from Kew Gardens to St. Petcrsburgh, ss a present to the Emperor of Russia. CAMBRIDGE, SEPT. 19.—The Duke of Sussex is ex. pected in this town to-day, on a visit to the Rev. G. A. Brown. His Royal Highness will attend divine service in the afternoon at Chesterton, and at the Trinity chapel seven in the evening.
