PARIS ) Doc. 3l.—The McAlear will have com municated the det.tils of the composition of the new Ministry ; I pretend not to augur what will be the measures they mean to adopt, but I under stand that they are all of his Majesty's own choosing, and that the first and absolute condi tion that he imposed on them, collectively and in dividually, was an inviolable attachthent in the Charter, not the spirit, which leaves the latitude for every one to interpret it in his own way, but the letter; and that, whenever it is proposed or thought necessary to vary from the strict literal acceptation of it, it is to be borne in mind that tire Charter was given as a pledge of his Majesty's love for his people, as a blessing„ and not as a curse ; as a reward, net as a punishment ; and that, therefore, every interpretation, varying from the strict letter, should be in favour of the people ; protection, not severity, being its eisen- 631 character. And when such are the paternal views of the Monarch, when such is his positive determination, what Minister will dare to be guilty of destroying the Charter by giving it an interpretation contrary to its principle, and the intentions of its author. The position of the new Ministry is one of ex treme difficulty, for the state of the nation is one, if not of danger, dt least of great perplexity. A Pamphlet, published within these few days by M. BERRYER, the Advocate, if accurate in its state- ment, makes one shudder ; he says, striking con trasts strongly apprize us that there exists some where a capital vice, since so many parties com plain and mutually accuse each other. Tbere is in France a great abundance of eve, y necessary of life, and the certitude of their constant repro duction, yet privations of all kinds are imposed upon the multitude. Nothing can surpass the stability of the public fortune, founded on an immense and fer►ile yet the State has but a precarious credit, and is in arrears in the roost sacred obligations. The soil and national industry place in the bands of i►►dividna►ls incalculable revenues, yet all the individuals, and landed proprietors themselves, experience the most cruel embarrassments• ']'i►is year in particular immense harvests of all kind have been made, and yet it is not known how to assist each other, Extraordinary loans have been made in foreign markets, yet here they are scarcely marketable. Ail the Capitalists of Europe may be said to have formed a Congress at Paris to maintain the credit of the funds, yet only fatal half measures are adopted. A wise, just, religious, humane, and enlight enedmire)) occupies the Throne, yet inquie tude is ►►baervahle in the public mind. Such is the picture drawn by this celebrated Barrister at the close of 1818. May it not, there fore, be asserted that the situation of France is one of the greatest difficulty ; it is one in which the Ipte Ministry plunged it by its - intestine divi sions ; one Minister proposed one thing, another the reverse, and they were too obstinate to give way to each other. Thus different systems were adopted by the different Ministers, as I have *A rcady so often declared in my Correspondence, but which has been as constantly contradicted by the Ministers themselves, and by their agents, the French Press. To hear 11. LAINE and M. tie CAzes, you would have thought there was the most perfect union of sentiment, and they both by their agents asserted it ; but I still persisted in my assertions—my Correspondence in the South of France revealed what the Ministers strove to conceal, till their disagreement became such that they could no longer act together.—l was aware of the secret intrigues, and exposed them, fearless whom 1 offended. I might oftener have accused, but I never would do it without proof. For exam ple—l might, had I relied on mere report, though front good authority, have stated that M. ANGLES, Prefect of Police, had sent information to Aix-la- Chapelle, and got inserted in the English Papers articles which he dared not avow, on purpose to make a breach between the Duke de lticuiewu and M. de CazEs, but I lot bore to do it, pre cisely because I had no proof of it. The dismissal of M. ANGLES at this moment, may he, perhaps, regarded as a proof that there was not so much smoke without some fire. might too have attacked M. LABOUILLERIE, but I would not for the saute reason. I shall as hitherto watch narrowly over the con duct of the new Ministers ; the peace of Europe depends on their conduct, and I shall never fail to hold up to public obset vat ion every aberration front those principles which his Majesty has de clared to be sacred and inviolable, viz., those of the Charter. His Grace the Duke of BUCCLEUGH is expected to cult - ark for Liibon in the Liffey. The -Liffey is gout trout the River. WESTMINSTER MEETING. • . . A Meitink of the Friends of Radical Reform was Itt night held at a I)blic-lionse in Brew.:_r stret, St. Ja mes's, sit which Mr. lioanoi. , sa was present.—A straight-haired man, of very melan elinly,,asFret, took the Chair, and le-moved same Resolutions which had been formerly moved at the Crown and Anchor by Eran's, the Gallows maker., adding a few croakings at; his own.--Ano ther man, who evidently seenn. to be a wog, hired no doubt by th Enemies of Freedom. Mount ed the table, and after eulogizing Jontl HOUSR. Esq. eis a Gentleman possessing true English feeling, and every patriotic virtue, frting hint for their Chatnpion; took the opportuni'y 0; observicg that the name of HouHULI , E Was dis tinguished for all that was steady and faithful its the discharge of public thrY, and for firmness in the cause of the people—H.at these was no fear of JOHN HonnousE, Esq. being bought, or Of deserting the system of Radical Reforia.—This was exceedingly bitter.—lie went on to remark on the conduct of certain Ladies, who bad can vassed for Sir MURRAY' MAXWELL., and drew comparison between the personal attractions of that Gentleman and JOHN iIOBBOUSR, I'l4l , re presenting Sir MURRAY as a little pigeon-toed, Jew-looking scarecrow, and the latter as a line manly form, whose picture, were it only drawn, the Ladies would wear next their hearts. This knit) , was to be borne no longer ; the Orator was hooted down, and Mr. HoanousE himself called upon to mount the table. It would he emlless to follow this personage through his harangue, which was much in the same strain as his speeches at the Fives Court and other places ; in fact, one tot rent of invective against the Ruling Powers, anti the House of.Corroption,who. he said,wete re gardless of the miseries of the people; aod that there wete only twO hottest Members who stood for ward for their rights. He next attempted to inflame the minds of his auditors, by telling them, that at the late. Election in Covent, Garden one of the Radical Reformers bad been severely beaten by the Court Mob, and on his (Mr. Hositousu's) appli cation to the Court Magistrate at Bow-street for redress, he was inforMed that his Worship was at dinner. The opprobrious epithets which he now lavished on this Court Magistrate failed however in their effect, evert with his audience, who called not shame ! shame ! from all quarters of the room. The assembly soon afterwards broke tip withoot any Numb, although there was considerable dif ference of opinion, anti the vote of thanks to the Chair was opposed. FOR THE `UN. ACT FOR RELIEF OF INSOLVENT DEBTORS. MR. EDITOR.—The columns of your Journal having been of late moth occupied with the dis cussion of this Act of Parliament and its adminis tration, I may venture to express a hope that you will not be reluctant to admit the future detail of results arising from its principle and practice, as they are avowedly of much importance to the cum►- mutiny. The Act will necessarily expire at the close of the ensuing Sessions of Parliament, noless, in the deliberate exercise of Legislative Authority, it shall be found wise and expedient to continue its provisions and enactments. And as it is probable that the question will shortly he considered awl dis cussed, it may be acceptable to your Readers to be made acquainted with the spirit and intention of the Law as it 110 W stands, as %veil as the gene ral effect resulting front it. For this purpose, I have arranged materials of communication to the Public, by way of ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY; and should you be disposed to admit the result of my inquiry, yoo will have the goodness to inti mate your consent, either by public notice, or by the favour of personal acquiescence. And in that event 1 shall forthwith commence the The very admirable REPORT 4,1 a Committee in the House of Lords, in which the Act originated, has impressed me with a thorough cOnvietiou that unlimited and indiscriminate imprisonment for civil debt is highly impolitic and injutious; and that the system which prevailed antecedent to the Act of Parliament vow in force, was a system most fatal to the interests and to the happiness of the community. If such a system should ever be again resorted to, it would be alike injurious to society, and destructive of family peace; tor, as the Report justly states," A system affecting with " exaggerated harshness, in their several twos, " so many individuals of the community, cannot " he a convenient one for the whole." " The most important consideration of all is " the cutting. off such a source of vitiation of " morals as imprisonment unquestionably appears "to be. There is little hope that he who h a s " for any time been the companion of the aban " Toned, shall come forth untainted by their in " stritetions. And the number of children ae " wally receiving their education in the prison., " furnishes a swarm of missionaries of vice, " which must have a dreadful sect in contatni " fiat* society." Having said thus much declaratory of the evils of imprisonment, it may be justly expected that elucidation should he offered, demonstrative of the effects produced front the existing low, which li mits the period of confinement on express terms and conditions ; so that a proper judgment may be formed as to the propriety of its continuance. — Waiting your reply, I ant, Sir, Your's, &c. Temple, Dec. 31. W. W-N. 4 ,* NITe consider the subject noticed by this Correspondent as so important, not only to the trading part of the Public, but to the Con►tnunity at latge, that we readily assent to I►is proposkl and we have the pleasure to state 'hit as the dis cussion of this suliject has considerably increased, our intereomse with the legal circles in Town and Country, his arguments ate likely to meet with due attention, and to lead to the adoption of whatever may be deemed most beneficial.

ROYAL ACADEMY. Yesterday eve.`-,it►g the Prcofessor of Perspecr live, Mr. TURNER, A. tkikered th . e o,q-ning !,ecture to his Course upon that Scie►;ce. Mr. TURNER having remarked the peculiar didiculties of his situation, observ ,, :d, that the Science was nevertheless comparati , ely of humble appear ance. It was branch of geometry, and though he necessary pursuit of it was attended with n►any and great difficulties, it was but sti'►s"rcient to nobler purposes, not possessing a decided and stii:►ing ciiar•act'r of its own. In maiking the progresS of tie Science, the Professor observed, th3t some traces of it might be per•ceivecl in PLINY, at►d a feW other Latin Authors ; but that its full exposion did not take place until the fifteenth century; when in the lime of VAN DICK, the celebrated inventor of oil paint ing , the brother of thiS ingenious man, with some con ten►lror;tries, taught the world the necessity of this science towards an adequate representation of nat tire, and contributed most considerably to wards the advanctment and perfection of it. Before entering, into the practical part of tl►c study, the Professor particularly enforced the sit perio►ity of a picture correct in ii perspective and anatomy, over that whose only beauty is good colouring. " Nature," added he, " con tinually varies in her hues and colours; bitt never pi ()duces any Tirctinist nces differing front the same ptincipie of perspective and anatomy." ►'llany beau!iful drawings were exhibited, among whicli were represeotations Cyrlion-house, the Adutirdiy, the Monument, and Si.
