We* have extracted from the Constitutionnel nit article which seems to develope, with great folce and felicity, the steps by which the French (;overnmeut, from its own indecision and imbe-. has been gradually reduced to" its present predicament, 'and by pursuing which it has at, length found itself placed in a situation with re spect to Spain which it did not originally contem 'plate,—under the necessity of either embarking in a war which it never seriously intended to under take, or of retreating from it with the ridicule of all Europe, and in either case exposing its own safety` and the tranquillity of France to the most imminent peril. RRt?ov,tP.taz•E is well known to' have placed almost implicit faith in des ' tiny.; . and the restored French Govern►uent really seems to have been conducted by an un controllable fatality to its present alarming si tuation. It is impossible even yet to predict the issue with certainty. On the surface, all is preparation for war ; but within the bosom of the State a thousand motives for peace, the workings of which are unseen, Are struggling with the dic tatei of pride and the sullen obstinacy of humbled power, for the ascendancy. The Male, as our Readers will observe,begins to give out intimations that the Spanish Royalists are probably sufficient in themselves' for effecting a counter-revolution ! France, then, may as well suffer the bands of the Faith anti the ,New Spanish Regency to reap all the glory of re-establishing the despotism of FERDIN . AND ' old of the Inquisition ! Is the lint. of the Eioile intended to prepare Europe for this new proof of the self-denial and magnani mity. of the French Ultra's? We shall forgive them for all the agitation they have occasioned, if they have the good sense to avail themselves of so . convenient a pretext for , T ppitining on their own side of the Pyrenees.-'''''''. Bayonne Papers to the 4th inst. arrived this morning ; they state that troops still continue to (nne in ; nod that a great number of vessels from Bretagne have arrived there, laden with grain, and the Contractors for bread and L forage for the army had bought twelve cargoes. General QuEsaoi is returned to that city, after having em barked a quantity of muskets and ammunition, and a large sum of money, on board three barks belonging to the Army of the Faith, which were at Socon,and'were to sail on the 3d inst. The Ge neral having learnt that three or four vessels` of the Constitutional party, sent from Bllboa %vete cruising in the neighbourhood, it is conjec tured that he did not think proper ' to embark himself. The Valet de Chatnbre of Lord Furz ROY Somensvr, who had been sent on before, has been at Pasami six days waiting the arrival of his Lordship, who had not arrived, which makes it imagined that some new incident has detained him at Madrid. The regular Mail of the '23d ult. from there, had not ) up to the 4th inst., arrived at Bayonne. The news spread by the Committee of, the Faith, that • BF:MMUS was marching to Ebro withlOorl2,ooomen is false. .Accounts have been received from Madrid of the c.tld ult. by a private correspondence, which mention that they enjoy perfect tranquillity there, though still a prey to the division of parties.

The New Thrk American remarks,—" Sach, we learn, is the scarcity 'of seamen, at pre sent, in this port, that several vessels have been delayed in getting to sea for want of men; and in one instance, on Saturday, ten dol lars bounty, in addition to thirteen dollars per month wages, were paid in order to expedite a packet ship. The long continued westerly winds have kept Out numerous vessels now due, and this, combined with the general activity in the commercial movements of this port, has operated to enhance seamen's wages. It will be seen, says The National IntelligenCer, iatthe bill so important to the efficient execu -4m of the revenue laws, at the same time that will make the operation of them less onerous to the correct merchant, has passed the House of Representatives in its amended shape, and is now before the Senate. From the known di3position of that body to act upon all the business before it, there is no doubt that the bill %rill be finally acted upon there during the present Session.

Kis Ws THE:mt.—lt has been the practice with several of the diurnal Critics, since the opening of the season at this place, to arraign the Management for neglecting to re-paint and to re touch the ornamental parts of the interior. This accusation seems , to: have been engendered in pique, orAther .motives of a private nature. They do not seem to consider that the higher circles demand .such ati ,Establishment, and that the vast expetice attending it is,certain,, while the success ii precarious: The Managers have therefore deemed it better policy to engage .the first Performers for the Opera and the Ballets, and to bring them both forward with all the sptendour of stage representation than to paint the'exterior of the audience part, and re-line the boxes, as in their present state, they %rill lao very well till the following season. We need only refer to the new ballet of - Alfred tlw Great, brought forward on Saturday, and repeated last night, to shew that no mean principle of economy has operated upon the present management, but that it is conducted upim the grounds which we have stated.

This fine col lection, so numerous, as well as excellent, as to excite surprise, as well as admiration, that it should be the production of att individual, was opened for the season on• Monday last. We attended it yesterday, and after as careful au examination as it was possible for us to take on such a vas t mu ltipli c ity a nd variety of works, we were fully . confirmed in all the favourable sentiments which we have hereto• fore held, and have expressed, respecting the taste, learning,, genius, and prodigious fwility.of the departed Artist.

Sensible, lio1:40T, that his physical constitution was of a very delicate order, and ill adapted to the, severe toil and privation that fre quently wait upon the soldier's 4 , iyp c4tion, he relinquished. the army, and repaired to the University of Konigsberg. Here he prosecuted' but studies with the greatest . 7diligence and success. At that tune the celebrated Professor Kant was lecturer at the University. IDS principles, which matin no great a noise in the world, were in : t great measure adopted by D r . V on liess,who was honoured with the Philosopher' s warmest friendship till the period of his death. As a writer the Doctor was well known : His travels, and his many political and statistical treatises are replete with information of the most valuable . kind. His ela borate History of the City of lianiburgh—particularlY the lasi edition—ranki deservedly high. Ilia moral worth and unatil. : lied integrity gave him a truly dignified place in society. As husband, friend, and independent citizen, the warmest lan gunge of eulogy would but inadequately describe his foldable; Character, in these several relations. When the patriot, sons of Ilambuish so nobly untie forward in defence of their country,. a short time prior to the downfal of Napoleon, the gallant Dr. Von Hesse was appointed Generalissimo of these brave men ; and there is no deubt, that, by the happiest display of tuilitary and civil :.talent, he very essentially contributed to the restora- - tion of things in his'adopted country.

This case, which involves the highest interests to, the King's Printer in England anti the Bookselling trade here, has at last been decided by the Court of Session, after a hearing fur several days. The point to he tried was, whether the King's Printers here had a right to interdict the Sale of Such editions of the Sacred Writings and standards of the Church, as were lawfully printed in Englarul ? The filets were theso:— : By the Patent of Appointment to the oflice of King's Printer for Scotland, there is the folloWing clause of monopoly speciatim !Ant , uet unicorn privdeg i ium impriMendi, in Scotia, Iliblia sacra, No . va Testamenta, Psalntoritin Libros, Libros Prectun Commit nium, ( knifessiones Fidel, majors:* et mimes Catechisnms in lingua Anglicans," &c. There is also sprat bition directed against the lieges front printing or reprinting, or importing beyond seas, Any of these Sacred works. The opera tion of the Patent commenced in IPA; and heavy expellees were soon incurred by the patentees in forminiethe requisite apparatus for furnishing the public with an adequate supply of the privi leged books, on the faith of their title r to enjoy the accruing emoluments. This exclusive right, however, was not carried into immediate effect. It would appear that the King's Printer in England and the Delegates of Oxford and Cambridge (who en. joy with him a concurrent monopoly), had long been in the prac tice of importing their Bibles into Scotland ; and by a parity of right, the sale of Scottish Bibles was permitted in .England. As long as this reciprocity continued, the Scottish. patentees hail no right to stir their pretensions, . especially as their sales in the South were fully equipollent to those of the English printers in Scotland. This mutual tolerance was, how. ever, checked in 11104, by the result of a suit in Chancery which the Universities had brought againsta London bookseller (Rich ardson), by which an injunction was granted against the sale 'of, all Bibles printed in or imported from Scotland. Against this decision an appeal was entered in the flOuse of Lords, but the order was confirmed. This process bore hard on the pursuers. The English patentees still continued to import their Bibles into Scotland, - while they shut the market against their neighbours. The loss experienced by the latter, naturally determined them to try the weight of the converse right of exclusion, which they considered to hsve by their.patents. With this intent, they in June 11111 presented a Bill of Suspension and Interdict sgainst the defenders, craving an embargo on the future sale or itmesrtation of all English Bibles, without their sanction or au thority. 'After some procedure in the Outer House, which it is unnecessary to detail, full intbrmations were at last ordered to the Inner House, that the rights of the parties might be solemnly and deliberately canvassed. The Soliciter-Sleneral (Hoots) was heard for two days on half of the Scottish patentees,. and Air. Cranstoun replied for tits booksellers. .The argument of the former went to esta blish the prerogative of his Illajestysits King of Scotland, to the exclusive right of printing and distributing among his peo ple the Sacred Scriptures, in order to secure correctness and purity of text ; that this right had been communicated 'to' its delegates for a limited period, under the obligation of furnish ing the .public with a competent supply of these religious works, at a reasonable price, of suitable elegance and neatness, and with an accurate text ; and that the patent granted to the Far suers, while it secured these great purposes, also prohibited the sale or importation of all such works within Scotland. It was answered for thedefenders, that the prerogative was never vested in the King of Scotland, because the - Scriptures were translited in England, and thereby became the copy-right of that Crown. That the pursuers' commission gave merely an exclusive right of printing (irnprittendi), not of selling Bibles; and that a continued tolerance on the part of the patentees had so explained their right, were there any doubts as to the moan in{ofthe terms in which it was expressed. Lords Il Eitstastp and &MORAY, with the PRESIDENT, Sp l o tLe k,exins for. ftwttilirat of theofthep t r efe rs n u d ers er ' s. .Plea ; Lords SuccoTtt and C The Couire then pronounced judgmentinterdicting the sale and importation of Bibles, or the Other standards of the Church printed in England, without the sanction of the Scotch Patentees. 1 his judgment will obstruct a verb lucrative commerce which has been for many years carried on 'between the English printers and the Scotch booksellers. At this time large eupi. tall have been embarked:on it, which will now be rendered to tally profitless.

The Meeting resolved to address the Magistrates on the subject, they haring stated at the-last. Court Leet that the new Police Act gave them the power to suppress it, under- certain circumstances and the 'Magistrates, in omsequentie of such applicathin on behalf of the hamlet, applied to the Bishop of London, as Lord of .the Manor, to ascertain whether - the Fair was war ranted by any.

It was then found that it is only during recent - years that fees have been received by the Bishop%.llalliff, toAhe amount of MU. for one_ spot of ground ; that there has lately been Appointed it new lietilifl'; and that the Bishop, in far 'from having any objection to the suppression of -" -Brook Green - Fair," desired it. These answers -were yes.. terday communicated. to the hamlet, and the Magistrates and district officers then issued bills announcing thediscontinuanee of Brook Green Fair in future, and that any persons endea vouring to erect booths, or to make other preparations fora Fair, will be dealt with according to the new Police Act.
