For several days past the boards of account of various bi'anehes, have been temploed in drawing up,statentents 'of the situa -lion of the finances, as far a 4 oaine 'Within their respective departments. These statements are to See given in this day to M.

Their commission was -exechted with all the zeal the devoted RoyalistS who coMpose that corps.', Sixty muskets, some pistols, sabre's, swords, and two tri-xolnured flags were found, mid brought to Perpignan. (4neral Linois, whci lately landed in'France, Nik-I•nt brought yesterday to the 'Abbey. The Gc petal Boyer has been Asp conducted to•the same primn. Toe Duke d'Angonleme entered Marseilles on the 26th nit: The English troops now there 'were, among others, under arms on the eceasiem. - Mutivr.—Accounts• from Italy inform us, that "Mi t re, on his arrival in Corsica, remained at first iiedecid-d as to the course he shoilltl. adopt. After long delibera• ion, he at last resolved' to attempt a hieding in Calabria, where he was told he had oely to shew himself, to oboin a new her of par t:7ans. One thing, however,. retakded ,expe ditioU—it WAS the Want of money:, In the 'mean Cuie. 'a General with a tag of . trttee,landed in Corsica from on hoard an En lish,vessel, found out ',Nlarat, and offered to him passports, which were all reiely, for Aostria, entkaging to protect Ilia conveyance, to Trieste. The I:ix-King had a long conference et lilt this Officer; and app - :areal shaken by the reasons with which he co m a a tea his enterprise,-but said he should oot'give in his u/timatum till next day. Some adventurers who surrounded him biouglit him back to his first idea ; he resumed an air 'of hautor_ and impor tance, and thought himielf onre *note 40;incd to He had with Itim , H;uotAd4 valued. at 100,000 fr, ; his agents sueccvdo'l in „pawning the best of them for 24,000 fr. lie Cinagincal that this sum was "suffiPient for the execution of his plan, and he embarked in the night with his suite; leaving the 'Officer with the flag of truce. without an *answer. It was a woman, it is said, who was chiefly instreieental in his arrest, by throwing berself upon him. They were conducting hint to Naples, when on the road cdenter-orders were r ece ived : he was forthwith taken hack to Pezzo, whore he found the preintaleOurt assembled. In rite yesterday's sitting of the ChaMber of Dcputies, Count Corvetto, 'Minister of Finance, was introduced, and presented a plan of law, in.. troducing certain modifications into the law of the 17th of December, 1814, which regntates the 'du ties payable on colonial produce, both on itieir import awl export. The faculty of transit, posed to he given to colonial peodUCefroni French colonies, as well as • from fOreign, it imported in French ships. By tfre 4th article the h +lance duty, to which foreign colonial produce, and other fo reign merchaodize are liabtemo leritrance into bonded warehouses, is only , to be naid,do goods leaving the depot, and only on such quantities at are declared for re-exportation by sea or for transit. CIRCULAR OF HIS EXCELLENCY THE MINISTER OF GENERAL POLICE TO THE PREFECTS. - ig Gentlemen,—The law of the 29th of October confers great powers on the government of the Kiug. Called to par ticipate with us the duties imposed on those who are charged with its execution, you must exert all your care to thoroughly 'whin - Stand the Spirit of its regulations. " This extraordinary measure will ensure the .tranquillity nf the State, if it is wisely applied ; it will exeite'd'isfurba-nCe, if the Magistrates substitute an arbitrary for a just sere, its, if they render themselves the involuntary instruments of private passions, or of blind prejudices. " The sole object of the law is to supply a deficiency in the existing lass s, and to give to a vigilant administration the power of action necessary to prevent crimes, which justice is frequently out of the condition of attacking and punishing. " The actual state of legislation has experienced no change as far as relates to the prosecution of these ()rinses; when jus tice cars find in the declaratory part of the process the de ments of conviction against their authors; but being com-' pelled to swerve from the general rules by which all arrested persons ought to be tried, the legislature above all applied itsey to prevent any arbitrary proceeding. ln the first place it whiled, that the execution of the law - should be confided only to public functionaries, clothed with a legal character, aud that no warratit should be ordered except by the Magis trates on whom the code of criminal instruction conferi this le)war ; you know that, except in the case of flagrant offense, this right belongs only to the dsidges of :ialrucauit, (police ni,+ , i3trates) to the PrefeCtS of a department, or .to the Pre- La. of Police at Paris. " It i 3 not without design ihat the kw points out those whom it wishes to reach by the denomination of 'Provenu ; it has thus wished to make known that it is not on simple su spicions, or on vague charges,that a citizen is to he deprived of his liberty, and that its regnlations do not apply, excep t where the insufficiency and not the absence of proofs prevents the mattrr from being submitted to the tribunals. •4. When the Judge of Instruction (a Justice of the Peace) has issued a, warrant in consequence of ally of the facts by• law specified, he. must give an account of it to you within 24 lours; when the warrant is issued by yourselves, you at'► bound in the same manner to inform the King's . Procureur of the arrondiisement: such is the path traced by the law, and th•judisia.l asitholity is thus found, in all cams, to be 'a►ssor " The solicitude which the Legislature ►►as shewn in the construction of the law must excite 11 a direct you rs k i lt s exeti cation. Whether the Magistrate, in giving ywu notice of a warrant issued by hits, shoji inform you that the affair is.not of a natar2 . to to tarried directly before the tribunalo, vhe ther having yourselves iss►ied the warrant, you hare the same opinion, yoci must inform ins of the a . ;-rest within 24 hours, pointing out precisely the motives of the determirattOn, the presumptions aiul proofs whi►th shall bare been collected : you v.lll Tr.►nsmit. to me the minutes of the examination ; you will give me your advice and its reasons for the len4th of the de tention, for the tridl or the discharge of the prisoner. The prevenm must in: all Tases be interrogated within 24 hours un the didereut hcalls of prevention (accusatiOn) voich caused his arrest : he can be sent only to the ordinary places of con Guennt; and he mast be registered in the forms pre scribed by the laws. " Ile shall not he deprived of communication with his family or his counsel, except fur weighty reasons, which you must mac knOwn to me. " Even iu those cases, where, for reasons of this sort, and they cannot occur.frequently, you Shag think it indispensable to condne •the prim/ea iu secret, he must always be able to communicate with the King's Proeureur, or with the Pivot rettr-General, when those Magistrates shall think it conve nient to hear him: and this communication with the Magis trates cannot be forbidden, even if I myself should authorise or direct the secret confinement. " In all cases the necessary facilities shall be granted to the peiveyrzi to further his rentoostrances to the authorities to whom the law intrusts the right, and attaches the duty, of pronouncing:on his fate. " In general, and except in tit-gent cases, you should con fine yourselves to denouncing to me the prevenus, andy , m will wait my orders; hut when the warrant shall have been isued and executed, if the result of the first examination of the informations laid before you demonstrate 'the injustice, or even the inutility of the measure. of which the prim. me is the object, you must not hesitate to set him immediately at li berty, when Ms arrest has not been ordered by me. " Independently of the notices which ynu are, hpund to glee to the King's Procureur of the arrest ordered by you; yin will take care, if the prevents belongs to a public administration to send immediately official information to his immediate Chief. " You will pursue the same course with the tailitary who arc affected by this measure : and you, will send an. account of the arrest to the General commanding the department or division, and eviut to the Minister Secretary of War, if it shall be the case of a General piE c e r , of a rank superior to that of Generals Commandant. "All the measure s before indicated, must arso be adopted, when; in conformity to the. 3d art. of the law, you sh"all have thought it yOur duty to subject tbe preitrtu to the action of the sup.erlntendance of the high police. I must at the same time remark to you, that when you shall deem it usoful to send out of your department, you must inform me that I maL make known to yon the place which. may, without hiconve nictice, be assigned to him for residence. The case will be diEerent if the ~:revenu he not dumiciliatcd in your depart ment; you may then compel him innuctliatelr to return to his plate of domicile, as the saute time requiring him to be watch ed by the local authority. " lig:sides the separate reports on each altair,,you will ad dress to we a general monthly statement of the affairs of this kind, in order to prevent even the possibility of a delay in the decisions fur ishich you shall have applied, and which shall always reach you exactly. The respect :which individual liberty in general com mands, makes it your duty to apply to this part of your func tions the most scrupulous attention ; the Government, which wishes to exercise, only fur the benefit of the State, the ex traordinary power wits which it is momentarily i4vested, and which will severely repress the abuses or even the negligences which the conduct of the public functionaries charged with coot ribut.ng to the execution of the law shall present, must find, in the impartiality of the PrefectS and in the celerity of their reports, the safeguard of theit responsibility, in the same =oiler as all faithful subjects of the King, all peace able men, must find therein that of their repose, acid the protection which is their right. (Signed) DUTCH MAIL, " DECAZE." [RECEIVED THIS AIORNINQJ Buysms, OCT. 30.—The Prussian troops are marching .from the interior of France to the Northern frontier departments, with the excep .tion of Mezieres and Charleville, all the Cham pagne is eTacuated, four or 5000 are destined . to join the garrison of Sedan, and an equal number to occupy Charlemont. On the other side, as soon as the. other- conditions of the provisional . arrangement are accomplished,, the Prussian troops are to give up the fortresses of Marien burg and Phillippeville to the troops Of the Nethe rlands. The Hanseatic Legion which formed a part of Lord Wellington's army, is already on its march home. We expect several corps of English infantry to form the garrison of ..this city. It seems, how— ever, that the head-quarters of the Duke of Wel lington will not come home till the French fron tier fortresses are occupied by numerous garrisons of the Allied troops. BRUSSELS, Nov. I.—lt is affirmed, that for the security of the southern provinces of Belgium and of Luxemburg, the folloWing measures have been resolved upon ;---Our army of 90,000 men is to .take up a double line of cantonments, extending from the North Sea to the Moselle. The Prussians are to form the left wing of this army; ' and the ali;ed troops under the Duke of Wellington the centre and the right wing. Threp strong fortresses, lying behind each other, on the way to Paris us Valenciennes, Bouchain, end Cambray, are to be occupied. All the fortresses, which the Allies are to occupy for five years, are to be provisioned for several months, tube secure A Messenger arrived in TOwn from Paris this morning, hut we do not learn that he brings any thing interesting. The Paris Journals of the 3d are entirely silent upon the reports.from that capital which interest us most. The Police Minister has.published a very temperate document, relative to tilt mode which the 'Executive means to enforce. the new Law against the Suspected, and the Mi nister of Finane, has produced a- Projet for consolidating the Importation and Consumption Duties on Colonial Produce. It establsbes a sort of 'warehousing system, and provides; that the du . - tics shall not be levied till the goods are taken out for consumption or re-exportation. The Ex-Governor of Gaudalonpe.,-Lnrots, has been transferred to Paris, and Generals Daouwr and BoYER are mentioned among the newly ar rested Buonapartists but whether for old offenetta, or for a recent conspiracy, as suggested in our letters yesterday, is not said. An article on the subject of Spain, in a German Paper,* has not only called forth the spleen of tile Morning chronicle, but elicited the reprobation of the Times. " King FERDINAND, of Spain," says the former, " seems to have found. an advocate worthy of his cause in The Austrian Observer."-- " An article from Vienna," says the 'latter, " snakes a miserable attempt to confound the friends of Spanish freedom with the conspirators against French constitutional iherty." We arc informed, that towards the end of the world the Lion and the Lamb shall lie down in peace, and it is another spectacle ominous of our approaching finale, to see these two journals yoked together in the same harness. , We wonder that one of them at least is not ashamed of its coadjutor, and does not begin to suspect the rottenness of the cause it has espoused, from its knowledge of the character and objects of its associate ? The Chro nicle is consistent. It hates all Kings, and .411 regular Governments. Death cannot save the first from its malignity ; virtue cannot shield • the last from its rancour. It does not dis guise its love of revolutions ;—it openly prosti -totes its columns to the most scandalous produc tions of every s foreign traitor whom France, Spain, Italy, Smith America, or any quarter of the world contains. It is therefore ..reasonable to expect, that the Insurgents in Spain should find a friend and advocate in this common organ of rebellion. But the other Journal, the ardent supporter of legitimate rights and ancient institutions—it does indeed surprize its to meet it equally- zealous in the auks of faction andlawless revolt. After the passage we have above quoted from it, alluding, as we suppose, to THz SUN, it adds—i- "'Phis is about as caudid as the charges of inconsistency, which have been brought against us, because we do nut Mace Louis XVIII. on a level with I , ertiinand VII. or the perjured Ney with the patriotic Porlicr." Now,. we beg leave to say, that this was not the charge we brought. oil Saturday. Our words are these— " Nut desiring to compare Ney and Porlier tnetber, fur ther than that they were both rebels, and the arguments in principle alike apply to them, we were astonished that The Tinta should so warmly espouse the cause of the latter, while it thus spoke of the former—every word applying to Spain as weii as to Fiance Ney continues to insist on the incompetence cf the Court-Martial before which it is proposed to bring him. ki e should have been shot when be was caught in fiagrenti eleliuto. Neither Jlarshal, nor Dnke, nor Peer, can plead privilege in the heat of a rebellion.— Every man who is seized with arms in his bands against Sovereign, may be executed on the spot, from the necessary urgency of the case.'" , • tVe but it to the candour of theauthor of this pa ragraph to say'whether PORLIER Was not thus caught in fiagronti delicto,' and was not therefore. on his own sl.ewing, justly liable to be executed oil the * See Our Last Page, Spot ; For if tve once establish a Itgal 4117 ,0 and right d judging their Sovereigos breast of Oenerals in their servi:•e, t b ' fig I if end. to the principles for which The Ii otter instances contends, and LAB S or NEY, or any other Traitor in FralS 6 L ott quite as good. grounds for acquittal es P°s- 1 04 Ar i Any other' Rebel in Spain.
