FOR THE SUN. THE FRENCH CONSTITUTION. M. EntToft.—The New Constitution of France appears to be rather the Conductor of the revo lutionary principle than the Support of a Mo narchy: there are to be seen in it but two things— the KING and the PEMOCRACY. The Aristocrati cal Party are absolutely wanting *, for this rea son—there is not In Fiance, what will make one : it is, notwithstanding, the most essential of all, for it is that which represents property, and consequently, keeps within bounds; and com mands democracy which represents number. It is for this reason that Aristocracy has been called the Government of Sages, and because, by its nature, it aims at preservation, while Democracy by its nature aims at usurpation. If there is no thing but a Democracy, it -is impossible that Royalty can resist it. It Louis the 18th had not been overthrown by the army. in 1815, he would have been subdued by the Demoeratical Party of the Constitution of 1814 ; instead of having seen again the empire Of BUnNaPARTIZ, we should have seen again the empire of the JACOBINS, which, in plain English, is one and the same thing : and until this sect has ceased to appear in France, like those unwholesome winds which' produce epidemical diseases and the plague, it will bring forth EitIONAPARTES, whom it will raise for the destruction of the world. Monarchs hope in vain ; they Will not preserve their subjects : the :people are like the waves, which the tempest agitates and lifts up, one after another. A great people, who give themselves up to iniquity, soon communicate their vices to -other nations; for of the two forces which act upon the moral world, that of evil has more power than that of good ; for this reason, that there are in the combination of liftman 'affairs many more people who have something to gain than of those who have any thing to lose, It is principally upon this calculation that sects, who aim at subversion, have founded their en. terprizes against the existing state of social order; and if we,:seflect that ..it .is trance which has become the source and centre of these doctrines, we shall' feel all the extent of the danger ; , for we must not forget that the French language is that of..the Jacobins, and That it - it understood and studied everywhere ; it has a real power, which one might compare in an opposite sense to that of the famous trumpet which made the walls of Jericho. full down: A. B. * The Chamber of Peers, which is neither proprietary nor hereditary, neither aristocratical nor dethocratitlal, destitute of all influence in the country, has only number on its side ; and the disproportion which exists between its object and its means, makes it an unstable body, and incapable of answer ing the purpose of its institotion.

LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 25, ISI. We received this morning the Paris Papers of Tuesday last. The discussion on the projet of estimates or supplies was continued tl►rough the Sitting of Monday without any thing material oc curring, and was again adjourned till Tuesday. The following are extracts : ". Parrs, JUNE 22.---The King transacted busi ness yesterday with the Minister for Foreign Affairs. " Saturday, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, two men stopped two English Ladies in the Bois de Satory, near the Roe St. 1111,rtin, Versailles, and demanded their money. The ladies screamed out, but the thieves 'assented pistols, and robbed them of their shawls, nepklaces, and rings ; the ladies returned. to Versailles and made a deposi tion before a Juge de Pnix, and from the exer bona making, it is hoped the robbers will soon be apprehended. " The Duchess d'Atlgonleme is gone to St. Cloud. " The Mayor of Nulize (Loire), is saikto be possessed of a remedy against the effects of the bite of a mad dog. Three individuals in conse quence, who had been bitten late:y, went to him. He made each of them drink a glass of water, in which was the tooth of an unknown animal. He then made them kneel, recited over their heads two pages of the New Testament, matte the sign of the cross, and demanded from each of them six francs, declaring that they were cured. We wait with impatience for intelligence respecting the effect of this innocent remedy. 4 - ‘ The King sheered himself on Sunday even ing, after dinner, at one of the,whidows of the Thuilleries, nest the Garden, and was greeted by the people promenading in that directiOn with the loudest acclamations. " M. Leclerc, Deputy in the Convention for Maine et Loire, and exiled (as a Regicide and signer of the Acte Additiond) by the.law of the 12th January 1816, has received permission to re turn, anti is now at Paris. " The private Correspondence of The Augsburg Gazette speaks of the formation of a new French Ministry, in which. M. Pvloier is to have the De partment of Foreign Affaires ; M Dessolies, the War Department ; M. Mollien, Finance and M. Decazes, the Pres dency. FIVE PER CRICTS. INfonday 68 f. 30 c. DEFERRED STOCK.

" INSPRUCK, Jura I2.—There have been ar rested in the Papal States, particularly in the Le gations", several of the carbouari, two of them in the city of Ferrara. The number altogether detained is considerable. There are several of them also in the prisons of thq Lombardo-Venitian kingdom, the kingdom of Naples, and Sicily. It is understood that a project has been di?covered, having a reference to political changes. The in att uctions given respecting them ire kept very se cret. ANTWERP, Juzge 17.—1 n this port has re cently been witnessed a most dreadful outrage upon•bumanity; from 350 to 400 individuals have been squeezed on board a small vessel of from 200 to 300 tons, commanded by a Prussian Cap tain, which has set sail for the •Colonies ; they are literally packed liVe herrings in a cask ; they each of them paid in, advance 150 florins ; there will probably be a pestilence 'on board the ship before it reaches Flushing. FRAiMFoIitT, JUNE 17.—According to private accounts from Stuttgard, there is a talk of the marriage of the Kind► of Wurtemberg with a Prin cess of Anholt-Bernburg-Schaumburg-." THIS FUNDS.—This morning Consols opened at 68i, and Omnium at 2i, discount. An immense quantity of the latter• was thrown upon the Mar ket, which reduced it 'to 2 1 r it was, however, readily purchased at that price.—At 12 o'clock the Commissioners were served in Reduced at 661. It is said a letter has been received in town this morning from Lord COCHRANF:, in which he states, that he should certainly have, attacked the An- . dromache frigate, having on board five millions of dollars, bad be not , received express orders from the Government of Chili to-the contrary. in the article which . we have included among our Daily Extracts from the Morning Papers, there is one taken from The Morning Chronicle of this day, adverting to the - Affairs of SPAIN, in which the Writer says, lie be happy to find that the Foreign Enlistment Bill i 3 not one of the branches of her crooked Policy." The subject of the foreign Enlistment Bill has been so often discussed, that nothing more need be urged in defence of it, if the insinuations of Party were not intended to throw obloquy on the British Government. The measure in question is intended only to confirm that perfect neutrality on the dispute between Spain and her Colonies, which had been agreed upon, and is so obviodsly an act of national honour and justice towards an Ally, that we wonder our Government did not sooner resort, to it. It could be no act of " crooked Policy" on the part of Spain to .require such neutrality which it is the duty of the British Government to maintain. We are under no .engagement with the revolted Colonies, but- we are with Spain. All , that those Colonies -could expect front us is strict neutrality, and they might be very well sa tisfied with such conduct on our part, • For our selves, as we have often said, we think, and we hope, that the Colonies will finally establish their independence., and we .have often censured the folly of Spain in attempting to recover what she never can recover. That the Colonies are mis led by fugitive miscreants from all countries cannot be doubted, but, finally, they will be able to enter into an examination of those who pretend to assist them from pare motives of jus tice and humanity, and then they will discard such worthless renegadoes, .and forma Constitution among themselves. We are sorry to see so many Petitions against the Bill in question, as they must be supposed, however respectable the quar ters Whence they issue, to arise from mere mercan tile considerations, which are certainly not the sole grounds on which a Legislature should act. An honourable regard to engagements and the prin ciples of eternal justice ought to characterize the conduct of a great Empire, and the very Colonies will therefore respect us when the contest •is, over, and give a preference to that Country which has acted upon such motives. The combination of seditious men, who have formed what they denominate the Stockport Union, have issued a MartinsTo of their principles, vatic!, exactly resembles those proceedings in France which led to the Revolution, brought ruin upon that Country, and menaced, a similar fate to all Europe. Seditious Presses are at work all over the Country, and all the attempts of those which support the cause of Government are deemed tame and languid, in,comparison with the inflammatory incitements of the Revolutionists to rouse the lower orders of the People into treason able movements. We are far ft mu recommending measures of severity to Government, but the ut most vigour and vigilance are imperiously de manded by the state of things, or the Country will be throWn into commotion, and the most dyeadful consequences may be the result. A Morning Paper has, indiscreetly we think, pre sented the Manifesto in question to the Public, but we shall not follow the example, being un willing to sprefid the seeds of Rebellion through the Country, where they might too soon take root, and spring up in every form of mischief and de struction. - It is generally understood that the British North American Colonists in the Provinces of Ca nada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, have determined to petition his Majesty's Government on the injurious effect of the late Treaty with the United States on their Trade and Fisheries ; and to state, that unless adequate protection anti encou ragement is given to them by the Mother Country, they must abandon the Fisheries altogether. The Representation from Nova Scotia was, we be lieve, received by the last Packet. It is spoken of as being admirably drawn, and describes in firm and energetic language the depressed state in which they are placed, from the gratuitous con cessions of this Country to the Citizens of the United States. It is now stated that the remission of the Ton nage Duty„.and the Ditties on Exports to and Imports from Newfoundland, and the BOunties to be given on Fish brought from that Settle ment, are not to be extended to the sister Colo nies of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Ca. 'nada. On what ground the Traders to New foundland are to be so highly favoured, to- the direct injury and deptession of the Inhabitants of the other Colonies, we have not been able to learn. lVe hope there is no truth in this rumour, tor we cannot suppose that Ministers would suf fer themselves to he influenced by the representa tions of the Members for the two great Sea Ports in this kingdom, whose inhabitants are princi pally engaged in the Newfoundland Trade, with out an.oppoytunity. to the Commercial- Houses afi*o rhtg connected with Briti s h N ort h A mer i ca - d to be heard in favour of the liihabitants of those Provinces, who are engaged in the same Fisheries with the People of Newfoundland. In the Debate on the 'Charitable Foundation Bill, it appears 'to have escaped notice that the Solicitors for the Charter House, Wincl►ester, College, and Westminster School, were compelled by a Committee,, in the last Parliament, to give information respecting those Establishments, which bad been confided to them in their pro fessional capacities, although they objected to be examined. Nay, indeed, it is said, that they were threatened to he committed, if they did not submit to answer till questions put to them. In the FIRST Edition of Mr. BROUG HAM'S Bill, a power was given to the Commissioner to commit to prison persons who should refuse to answer ANY ques tions asked them by the Commissioners, and there to remain without bail or main. prize, until they did. To give the Public a correct idea of this Bill as originally introduced into the House, it should be . R R-PRINTRD ; the Public may then compare it with the existing Act, and they will have the mortification to see, that in the first Edition, the King'S Subjects were deprived of the Right of demurring to questions which might criminate themselves, although the Bill was drawn by an individual who professed to have a greater regard loathe Rights of the People than any other Person, The Commencement at Cambridge this year will be unusually sideudid—most of our leading Fashionables are expected to be there ; r every exertion is making to give effect to it, and tve have no doubt that it vvill'afford a high treat to the distinguished individuals who intend to be present uu the occasion, REGISTER OF FASHION.
