\... FOUCHE DE NANTES. The following is an historical document upon Fondle de Nantes, in reply to the brochure of Lucien Bona parte, Prince of Canino : (From tire Quotidienne.) " Sire—Living remote from the political world I read but few brochures, and know of one lately put forth by Lucien Bonaparte only by the excellent critique upon it which appeared in the Quotidienne of Sept. 23. Passing over all that is foreign to the matter about which I shall speak in this letter, I shall confine myself solely to what concerns the too cele brated Fouche. The Prince de Canino, in 1815, in speaking of that personage, pretends that his conduct had not been premeditated, and adds, He turned to wards the Bourbons when fortune appeared inclined to desert Napoleon.' In this assertion there is a mix ture of true and false. True it is that Fouche did effectively turn towards the Bourbons, and did so by betraying and deceiving Napoleon. It is false that his conduct was not premeditated, for that it was ma turely premeditated I shall establish by the following narrative : " A courtier only in adverse fortune, I went— towards the close of 1830—to pay my respects to Charles X. at Holyrood House. That monarch did me the signal honour of admitting me to his table, and granting me several private audiences. It was on one of these latter occasions that, being alone with the King, and reading to him some notes that his Ma jesty had desired to hear, the conversation fell upon 1815 and the 100 days, and upon the part that I had played at that period as a Royalist and Captain of a company of Volunteers which I had organised and armed secretly in Paris. Do you know,' said the King abruptly, to whom you are indebted for not having at that time been arrested and shot ?" I think, Sire,' I replied, that it was the secret so re ligiously kept by our friends that formed our seen rity." You are mistaken,' answered Charles X., it is to Fouche that you are indebted,' and remarking the astonishment expressed by my looks on hearing that name, so odious to Royalists, his Majesty added,' ' You shall judge yourself—listen to me. A few days after Napoleon's landing at Cannes had been known in Paris, my brother (Louis XVIII.) said to me, Who do you think has written me a letter ?' As I could not guess, he said, I haVe received this morning a letter from Fouche, demanding a private audience. Can you conceive such audacity ?'— I testified my astonishment by an exclamation, and good reason there was to be astonished, for my brother and I well knew that Fouche was one of those who had exerted the greatest skill and perfidy in plotting and preparing the return of Bonaparte. Here,' re sumed my brother, is his letter. Do you think I ought to receive him ? On my exnressing an opinion that it would be curious to hear what lie had to say, an audience was granted him for the next day, when . I took ,care to be present. Fouche was exact to the hour, and on his entrance my brother said to him, Well, M. Fouche, what have you to say to us ; my brother is aware of everythina, you may speak freely before him ?' Sire,' said Fouche, your Majesty must be very ranch a;:itonished at seeing me here.' Most certainly,' replied my brother. After the former circtunr-Aanc , , , ,s of your career, and what we know of 'your recent conduct, we were very far from expect ing that von would demand a private audience. But srak ; what is it you wish ?' Fouche then, without alluding to his revolutionary career, sought to explain his conduct relative to the _conspiracy which was tires in execution. ' Boaanaitc; he said, will be. shortly in Paris ; it is impossible now to prevent his arii %ail, and the King will ire forced to quit the capital.' Is that, M. Fondle, what you have come here to tell us, and do von not dfead ?' Sire, let me en treat you to pardon this preamble, and have the good ness to hear me to the end.' Proceed, Sir.' I have said,' resumed Fouche, that Bonaparte will he soon in Paris, but my opinion is that lie will not be able to remain in France, and that, although he may re-sieze the imperial sceptre, it will be soon wrested from his hands. Franca is weary of his yoke and will not support hitn ; alone with his army, and op posed by a new and general coalition, he must again fall and for ever." That is also my opinion, M. Fouche,' said toy brother, but what do you conclude from that ?' The conclusion I draw, Sire, is that - your Majesty will return to the Tuileries, providing the game be well played, if no errors be committed, and that your Majesty shall be served well at homei (dens finterieur) during the period •of your ab sence.' Fouche, in continuation, said—' Napoleon has need of me ; he cannot do otherwise than make me Minister of the General Police, for he is convinced that his life can be effectually protected by me alone. I come, therefore, to tell your Majesty than I shall accept the proposals of Napoleon, if your Majesty will authorise me to do so, and if your it will still further condescend to accept me for your private correspondent.' How, M. Fouche,' exclaimed the King, you are willing to serve us by deceiving Bona parte ?' ' Sire, in so acting I think I shall be stil, serving France.'" • The letter, after stating that the King gate no posi tive answer to Fondle at that audience, but said that he would take time to consider, continues as follows : —" Some days afterwards Louis XVIII., foreseeing the fatal result of the 20th of March, said to me, " We '.inust no longer hesitate, but accept Fouche's proposal. - Have a letter written to him, or if it be necessary, see him yourself, my brother.' The next evening, I left the Tuilleries in disguise, had a meeting with Fouche, and, after agreeing upon all the necessary points, I re turned to the palace, and gave an account to the King of my mission. On the 19th of March my brother quitted Paris and France, and at a short distance beyond Lille an individual, who was unknown to him, went up to the door of his carriage and handed the King a paper which pointed him out as an agent of Fouche. This man, after making use of a sign of recognition which had been agreed upon between us, was told by the King that he had chosen Ghent as his place of retreat, and that he (the agent) should fix himself at Alost, in order not to awa ken suspicion. From that day forth twice or thrice a week Fouche sagent came secretly to Ghent, and gave into the King's own hands the reports and communications transmitted to him by Fouche, who kept faithfully the promise he had made. These communications were continued during the hundred days, and until the re-entered the capital. ' You must now,' added Charles X., smiling, be aware of the cause which enabled , you to escape the unceasing vigilance of Fouche s police, for he was perfectly cognizant of all your projects.' I now completely understand it, Sire, %hanks to your Majesty's complaisance, and I also now conceive the motives that induced the late King to re- calve M. Fouche at St. Denis, as also those which de terinined his Majesty to appoint him since then one of his Ministers, an appointment that at the moment filled all France with astonishment, and the Royalists with stupefaction.' After thanking Charles X. for his kindness in having confided to me details so interest mg and so little known, I took leave of his Majesty. Accept, &c. " J. R. T.

The repairing of Westminster Hall is nearly finished, and shows to great advantage, particularly when compared to its lacerated appearance before the repairs were com menced. This ancient hall was built by William Rufus, 1098 ; rebuilt in 1399 by Richard 11. , repaired 1748, slated 1750, beautified and repaired 1802, at the expense of 13,0001., and is now nearly restored and beautified again throughout. John Brusnehan, a farmer, is represented as having been waylaid and murdered on his return from the late fair in Abbeyfeale (Ireland). SHERIFF COURT, AYR.—On Tuesday, a case of :rioting and assault, arising out of the last Ayrshire election, •was tried before - the Sheriff and a Jury, at Ayr. John 'Turnbull, the prisoner, was charged with mobbing and riot- Ftng at the village of Old Cumnock, on the 30th of June Ilast, and of three different assaults, two of them on voters dxf Sir John Cathcart, and one on Mr. Eaton, the polling Sheriff on the occasion. lie pleaded not guilty ; but after a Jong trial, the charge of mobbing and rioting was found prof:cd, as also the assault on the Sheriff ; the second charge of assault was declared not proven, and of the third he was acquitted. The Jury unanimously recommended him to the leniency of the Court, and he was sentenced to four "months' imprisonment, and to find security to keep the peace fort welve months, under a penalty of 10/.—Ayr Observer.

PORT OF WEYAIOUTII. .~ - _ ' ti ous in the cause of good Government ; but finding, after long and painful experience, that nothing was to be hoped for from that party, he, of course, turned his attention to one which held out better prospects for his country. He was no otherwise connected with Ministers than as they are friends to Reform, and, above all, friends to Ireland ; and so long as they con tinue in their present course, so long will he continue to them his present disinterested support. Passing from this subject, which scarcely deserves a moment's notice, Mr. MAULE proceeded to explain his sentiments on the question of irresponsible legislation. "He hoped for a Reform,"he stated, "in the opinions of the House of Lords ; or else in the House itself. He trusted there would be a Reform in the opinions of that House; for if not, it was impossible that the opposition between the people and the aristocracy could long exist; and if the aristocracy will not bend their minds to the wishes of the people, the former, as the weakest party, must go to the wall." If the Tory oligarchy have any re gard to their own interests, they will take heed to these remarks, for they express the true sentiments of the community. Indeed, we look upon the opinions of Mr. MAULE and Mr. COKE, on the question of the House of Lords, as being signs of the times which no heredi tary Legislator can neglect, without imminent danger to his authority.

The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past 3 o'clock. Mr. O'CONNELL has addressed a letter to Wm. ROCHE, Esq., in which he announces his readiness to accept of the invitation to a public dinner with which the citizens of Limerick have honoured him. In this letter Mr. O'CONNELL says, " We have at length a Ministry single-hearted, and sincere in its desire to serve Ireland ; we have also a Lord Lieutenant who3e conduct has almost silenced the calumny of the most Ca lumnious faction the world ever saw--a Lord Lieutetant who, by his strict adherence to constitutional principle, easily avoids showing partiality or undue favour to any party, while his dignified demeanour ensures the re spect of eve❑ the factious, and fills with sentiments of veneration, as well as of gratitude, the entire popula tion of Ireland." The public spirited inhabitants of Edinburgh and its vicinity have much apparent reason to complain of the little attention which we seem to have paid to the great exertions that are about to be made for the con struction of a harbour at Granton, in all respects worthy of the capital, and favourable to the commerce of Scotland. If we have not been among the first take notice of the projected improvement, it was not from any indifference to the scheme or its results, but be cause we deemed the time inauspicious, as the public mind was too powerfully agitated by great political questions then under review to give an instant to the consideratioa of measures which might be delayed, without a possibility of being altogether forgotten. We were likewise of opinion that where a heavy res ponsibility might be incurred by the expression of particular views, gathered from partial sources, the safest course would be to wait patiently, until every party immediately concerned should have an opportu nity of stating their sentiments and impressions on the matter. They have done so to a considerable ex tent, and the result is that, though we do not see the question differently from what we did at first, ne vertheless we are more sensible of the necessity of pro ceeding cautiously than we were at the commencement. All parties have agreed in admitting that Leith Harbour has failed in realizing the object for which it was constructed, and the question for some years past has been, whether it could be rendered efficient at a less expense than a new harbour could be con structed on some part of the coast, equally convenient for all mercantile purposes. Several Surveys of the har bour and the adjoining coast were made in consequence, each so differing from the other that great doubts existed as to which was most worthy of public confi dence. At last the Duke of BuccLEucar, with a generosity as patriotic as it is unexampled, offered to supply funds for the construction. of a harbour at Granton, provided the Company who undertook the guperintendance of the work, guaranteed the re-pay ment of the simple outlay out of the Harbour profits. Granton and Trinity are the only two places along the coast where a harbour could be constructed, with any great advantages over Leith. Granton is reported to have many consider able advantages over Trinity. The water is much deeper, being twelve feet and a half at low water ; it is considerably nearer Edinburgh ; and is moreover a part of the property of the Noble Duke, through whose liberality the new harbour is about to be erected, and consequently will meet with that encou ragement in the commencement which only a land lord has means and opportunities of giving. By a report made by the Messrs. STEVENSON, civil engineers, who surveyed the harbour of Leith and the adjoining coast, it appears that twelve feet deep at low water would be sufficient for the accom modation of ships of the largest class, and that to obtain this depth of water, the piers at Granton would only require to be extended 550 yards; at Trinity 730 yards ; whereas at Leith they would require to be extended 1,500 yards I Leith is only fifteen yards nearer Edinburgh than Granton ; whereas Granton is half a mile nearer Bruntisland, thus saving that dis tance to 140,000 persons, who annually cross the Ferry, to the opposite coast of Fife. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 7, 1835. Mr. IVIAmE, M.P. for Perthshire, who, as our readers well know, is one of the most upright and in telligent Reformers of the day, was entertained by his constituents on Thursday last, at a public dinner at Blairgowrie. On this occasion the Hon. Gentleman entered into a recapitulation of his votes during the Session, which gave entire satisfaction to all who had the good fortune to hear him. Alluding to the changes of Ministry last spring, he observed, " when the Go vernment had been constituted, twenty-three Members of it lost their seats, and of these, twenty-two had been returned, every Member from Scotland without oppo sition. How different was the fate of the Members of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Government I The Reform Ministry lost one election ; the Tories eleven ; and the fear they have of the people is the best safeguard of the present Reform Government." This is a useful fact, which may tend perhaps to lower the tone of the Tories, and awaken them to a recol lection of their true position in the country. They have already, whatever they themselves may deem to the contrary, exerted all the strength they have it in their power to exert, and henceforth can only stir to show their weakness. Many of them, however, stiill cherish the belief that the mass of the people is with them ; and with such there can, of course, be no reasoning, for even facts themselves would fail to cc .nvince them. Having spoken in terms befitting their c 'onduct, of the present Ministry, Mr. MAULE went c n to explain the nature of the connec tion between them and O'CONNELL. " A Bill," he said, " had beet i brought in for the reform of the Irish Church, but, a las ! it had been thrown out in the House of L Drds. Other measures for the benefit of Ireland had ; sharer; the same fate, and men were found so weak as to , ascribe the passing of those measures to the influence of Mr. O'CONNELL. But Mr. O'CON NELL had not 'dictated to the Government. He agreed with, and had su .pported the measures of Government— that was all." Mr. MAULE here puts the support of Ministers by O'CONNELL 011 its proper footing. The Hon. and • Learned Member for Dublin only sup ported them bet ause he had every reason to believe that they were earnest in their desire to do justice to Ireland. As. lar any compact between them and him, to which the Toric s even now are so fond of alluding, none was en tered into, because none was necessary. Mr. O'CoN NELL 'would have had no objection to support the ( ',onservoatives, had they been equally zeal . We understand that the inhabitants of Leith are strongly opposed to the erection of the new harbour at Granton, as they apprehend that it will injure the trade of the town. We can sympathize with such feelings, and regret that it sometimes becomes necessary to lose sight of indivi dual interests in the prosecution of national improve ment. We understand that the actual debt over Leith Docks amounts to 273,0001.—a large sum, truly, but which, we trust, can be so managed that private individuals will lose nothing by it. Altogether the question is very complicated, and ought to be'dealt with in a most liberal spirit. We shall refer to-morrow to the different statements of the Messrs. CUBITT, STEVENSON, GRAINGER, and MILLER—aII engi neers who surveyed the harbour—in order that the public may not adopt a premature opinion on a question in volving the commercial interests of a whole nation, and the property of thousands of most enterprising and deserving individuals. One of the most gratifying signs of th e present times as contra-distinguished from the times that are past, is the prevalence of a charitable spirit in matters of religion, among the great body of the people. What a changed aspect does the popular mind present to the eye of the man who recollects the savage fanaticism which disgraced the metropolis in 1780, and Birming ham at a still later period. In those times it was an easy matter to excite the passions of the populace against the Catholics or the Dissenters. The ad vocate of intolerance had then little more to do than to mount the pulpit or the platform and raise the cry of persecution against an obnoxious sect, when its members were hunted down and their property given to the flames, without delay and without compunction. Now the O'Sullivans and the Cunninghams, though they out-Heroded all their predecessors in religious rant and rancour, cannot gain a single proselyte. The ultra-human ferocity of the denunciations which these twin bigots launch against their fellow Christians, serve only to make the saintly old maids, who are almost their only hearers, stare, and to excite in the public who THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1835. e 16 'Oa • > 45, ,2)111+ read the ebullitions of their fury, as reported in the newspapers, feelings of disgust and abhorrence. What other feelings can rise in the breast of any human being, whose nature has not been perverted by erroneous principles, when he finds a person like this Mr. CUNNINGHAM, who has been set apart as an expounder of that Gospel which breathes nothing but peace and good-will to mankind, declaring in the face of the world that he " is not ashamed to raise the cry of ' No Popery,' because it is their cry of the murdered Saints for REVENGE on their Popish murderers 1" Is \ there a man—a Christian there cannot be—whose blood does not run cold at the utterance of a sen timent so bloody—so vindictive—so utterly repug nant both to the letter and the spirit of that sacred code, one of whose fundamental principles is forgiveness of injuries—whose Divine Author has taught us that the only condition on which we car. ourselves hope for forgiveness is, that we have extended it to others ? But why does this fiery zealot confine his vengeance to the Catholics ? Were they the only persecu tors ? or are persecution and murder venial trespasses in Protestants ? Were the Scottish Saints murdered by Catholics? Was the blood of GUTHRIE, and other martyrs which streamed on the scaffold, shed by Catho lics? Were the Saints that perished at Drumclog and Bothwell Brig, and throughout fifty years of per secution, murdered by Catholics or by Protestants ? Were the LAUDS, the LAUDERDALES, and the TURNERS, Catholics or Protestants ?: The Paris papers of Tuesday received this morning, confirm the intelligence from Madrid of the 28th of September, which appeared in the London journals of yesterday. M. MENDIZABAL has succeeded in the formation of a Cabinet, which has already obtained the support of the most influential Juntas in the Spanish provinces. These Juntas, as a matter of course, will be imitated by the whole of the Liberals, and thus the QUEEN'S Government will receive such an acces• sion of strength that no opposition will be able to overthrow it. The Juntas of Barcelona, Valencia, Gallicia and Cadiz have addressed Memorials to M. MENDIZABAL, in which they inform him that they are ready to dissolve themselves, the moment he is pre pared to commit the provincial Government to persons nominated and approved of by himself. Previous to the formation of the MENDIZABAL Cabinet, the Count de LAS NAVAS threatened to march at the head of the troops under his command to Madrid, unless the QUEEN, in the space of sixty-eight hours, agreed to seven propositions which he requested M. AGUIL A to lay before her Majesty ; but as soon as it was known that an efficient Cabinet had been constructed, LAS NAVAS, though his proposal was rejected, was one of the first to declare himself prepared to support the new Administration. No better cri - terion of public feeling, as regards the new Govern ment, could be instanced, than the conduct of LAS NAVAS on this occasion. It was only a few days previously that .he bad ordered General QUIROGA and M. CIIACON to be arrested, for proposing to him a junction with M. MENDIZABAL, because he saw no prospect of the Government taking such measures as he conceived absolutely necessary for the. deliverance of the country. For the details of the intelligence from Spain, we refer to our extracts from the French Journals, which will be found in another column. The domestic news is rather unimportant. An individual has been ar rested at Lyons by order of the Mayor, charged with offering to assassinate Lours PHILLIPPE for a reward of 10,000 francs. The proposal was made in a letter addressed to a merchant known to entertain Carlist principles. The writer, on being seized, acknowledged himself the author. He is now lodged in the prison of Roanne. The Duke of NEMOURS arrived at the Tuilleries on Monday morning. The King of SARDINIA has become a party to the Convention between England and France, for the re prmion of the Slave Trade. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Viscount Lowther, accompanied by Mr. William Holmes, of the Carlton Club, have departed for the Conti nent, to join the Marquis of Hertford, who, after a short sojourn at Brussels, was expected to proceed to Germany, i n the event of the cholera not subsiding in Italy. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The Marquis and Marchioness of Thomond are detained in town, in conse quence of the approaching nuptials in the family. Their eldest daughter, Lady Elizabeth O'Brien, is to be led to the hymeneal altar by Capt. Bucke, of the Blues. The Duke of Buccleuch has at length agreed to erect a low water pier, of limited extent, at Granton, suit able for the accommodation of steam-packets.—Edinburgh Advertiser.

CITY IMPROVEMENT.—Great progress has been made in the execution of the new street which is to connect St. Bartholomew's-lane by the side of the Bank with the pavement, Moorfields, and thus continue the line of the beautiful street from London-bridge to the City-road, avoiding the present confined and dangerous route. All the houses on the line are down, and workmen are actively en gaged in the formation of a sewer in the middle of the in tended street.

A translation, by a gentleman named Jackson, of the autobiography of Heinrich Stilling—a work well known throughout Germany, and which, on its first appearance, had the honour of receiving the marked approbation of old Goethe. The first part of the book is strictly a prose pastoral, adhering closely to nature, and furnishing the reader with delightful specimens of the better class of German peasantry. The characters of the author's family, and the descriptions of his own early wanderings and studies, are given with a minute ness to which nothing but their extreme beauty and delicacy could reconcile us ; but indeed Stilling, like our own Goldsmith, adorns every thing that he touches—so fertile is his fancy, and so picturesque his power of narration. It is greatly to his credit, too, that, though his book is impregnated with a strong re ligious feeling, and his Scriptural allusions are inces sant, there is no cant or affectation of superior virtue about him. Piety, in his estimation, is a thing to feel, not to talk about ; hence he recommends himself to all classes of readers. But the main charm of his book is its unaffectedness, in which quality it may vie even with the Robinson Crusoe of Defoe. COLBURAT'S MODERN NOVELISTS. VOL. X. 11. Colburn : London, 1835. Each volume of:this collection is, it seems, for the future to comprise one entire tale—a great recommen dation, both as regards price and convenience. The volume before us, which is the tenth, contains Captain Marryatt's novel of " Frank Mildmay," one of the earliest and most popular of his fictions, and which has been subjected to his most careful revision. By way of frontispiece to the work, we have a half-length portrait of the author, which expresses much shrewd ness and energy of character, but none of that light easy humour in which the gallant author is so well known to excel. The volume, considering its price, only six shillings, is got up in very superior style. NATURALISTS' LIBRARY. VOL. 111. Lizars : Edinburgh, 1835. The present volume consists wholly of descriptions of the natural peculiarities of British butterflies, from the pen of an able entomological writer, Mr. James Duncan. Some of these descriptions are full of inte resting, and, to us, novel, matters of information, re specting the chrysalis, or transition state of the tor toise-shell butterfly, one of the most beautiful and singular of the species. A Memoir of the celebrated Naturalist, Werner, is prefixed to the volume, which is profusely embellished with a variety of coloured woodcuts, in many of which the soft,. powdery wing of the butterfly wears all the appearance of reality. A. still farther recommendation to the work is, that it is perfectly free from all prosing and superfluous di gressions. THE REGISTRATION.-(THIS DAY.) CITY OF LONDON. (Before Mr. CRAIG.) The Court having sat at the usual hour, Mr. CRAIG said he had given the greatest attention to the objection taken to the claims of the Learned Judges of the land, to vote in respect of their Chambers in Sergeants' Inn. The question to be decided was of a very particular nature, viz. : whether these Learned Dignitaries of the law had a personal, or merely an official residence, in . these chambers. He was at present of opinion that they had a personal residence. Chambers in Inns of Court were en titled to certain privileges, and were considered different from other tenements, ,and in all decisions to which he had referred, had been termed and treated of as houses. He had no doubt, when they were occupied day after day, they came within the waning of the Reform Act ; and gave a qualification to vote. If no precedents of a contrary nature were cited to him, which induced him to change his opi nions, he would to-morrow give judgment in favour of the claimants. - The Learned Gentleman said he would deliver his judgment in the cases of Two-penny Post Receivers, to morrow morning.

JUVENILE SUICIDE.—On Friday last a girl, about fourteen years of age, daughter of a person named Lusted, who keeps a beer-shop at Hurst-green, in Sussex, commit ted suicide, by hanging herself in an attic. The father was from home, and only a younger sister in the house. Verdict—" Temporary insanity." It is a singular circum stance, that about a year and a half ago the mother com mitted suicide, by throwing herself into a draw-well. It is reported that twenty-one suicides have taken place at Hurst-green, within eleven or twelve years. Maidstone Gazette. _ The death of the Carlist leader Eraso is confirmed. He expired on the 12th ult., of an affection of the chest, and was buried on the 23d in the church of St. Jean, at Estella.

BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS' (RECEIVED THIS MORNING.) MUNICH, SEPT. 29.—The Grand Duchess Hele n of Russia has arrived here with her brother, the Prince Wurtemberg, after having spent several days with the Court at Berchtesgaden. • (From the Maine, Sept. 28.) A person who has lately travelled through a part oft be Grand Duchy of Hesse, particularly the province of UPP er f Hesse, found that the people in general hardly speak ° the effects produced by the labours of the Assembly of tbe States, and seem to hope but little from them. This r e ' mark is verified in a remarkable manner in the country people of the province of Hanan, who affirm that the estates of the Electorate of Hesse have burdened them with more taxes than they had to pay before. Now this i 5 surely not the case ; but the people had conceived too sail' guine hopes of the effects of the Constitution, and TO; when the enthusiasm in favour of Constitutions has p retty well subsided, a public organ is wanting, which might ev plain to the country people, in a popular manner, the il l " disputably happy effects of the Constitution. On the other hand, a vast number of mystical writings and tracts csr al circulated in the country, the extracts of which are ~ culated to exercise corresponding feelings in the co unt': people. 1 The navigation of the Maine is become quite inc onswe ; ruble, because the river is so low ; and unless we can Il e a continuance of rain, the Maine will become unnav i g ab by ships of large burden.

But in case storms should overtake them oe t b B B o voyage, the necessary preparations are made in the Itilaste ports, particularly Windau and Liebau, to disembaric troops there if necessary, and they would then proceed 11 land.
