I.IIE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Aiorning Avers, Sept. I. [BRITISH - mass.] The intelligence we this day publish from Paris, through several channels, gill be found of deep interest. The posture of affairs in that king dom clearly indicates the approach of some great change, which, perhaps, will not be fully con. summated till the King's death, but which, nevertheless, will not be much retarded by the protraction of his life for a few clays or weeks longer. Whether M. de Villele will be able to retain office, is a fact respecting which it is easier to speiulate than to affirm with confidence. But &he continue to preside over the Ministry, he j will be required to give effect to measures very different in character from any to which he has hitherto dared to give countenance. The design of restoring absolute monarchy,, and erasing the institutions of the Revolution, seems lately to have acquired life and consistency. All the late acts of the French Government have tended to that object. The Censorship, the creation of the Department of Ecclesiastical Affairs and Public Instruction, and lastly the re-organization of the Council of State, are hold and rapid steps to wards the overthrow of the charter and the sub jugation of France to the unlimited power of the court and the priesthood. [MORNING POSTd French Papers to the 30th ult. and the Dale Of Monday reached us last night by Express.— They make no further mention of the King's in disposition, and even state that on Sunday last he received the Great Dignitaries, Ambassadors, &c. in his apartments. This, however, must have Been one of those extraordinary exertions which enabled him to undergo the same fatigue on the day of his Fete, but which complete the uuder mining of his existence. All the private letters received from Paris yesterday represent his state as most deplorable. His Majesty's own phy sicians are said to have publicly declared that unless some favourable change should take place, it was hardly possible forhim to survive the next; fortnight. The lethargy with which he had' hitherto successfully contended,had grown nearly incessant, and although the powers of his mind seemed not to be enfeebled, those of his body had entirely given way. The general impression appeared to be, that M. de Villein had so com pletely gained Monsieur's good graces by con sulting him about every measure which he pro posed to adopt, that the death of the King would make no change in his situation. 'l'he► Ultras, on the other hand, were convinced' of the contrary, and it wus the , idea that they were anxious for his dissolution, which contributed to set the infirm Louis against them, and to arm Villele with al most unbounded power. [NEW TIMVS. No nccoanti were reCeivel yesterday from Paris later than the letters of. Saturday by the ordinary mail, anti these generally concur in stating the King's health to be rapidly declining. In the British Funds little variation took place, in consequence of the limited extent of the trans actions. Th e p r i ce s were nominally n shade . lower. The return of the. individuals who were acid to have visited Paris for the purpose of making proposals fora Loan to Spain, has tended to retrieve all doubt, if any remained, that the negociations are broken off; and the pri vate letters from Paris repeat ts hat we stated Some days ago, that the Spanish Ambassador bad declared that the Constitutional Loans Would not be • recognized. The prices of the Bonds in consequence declined 1 per cent.--- The ,South American Securities varied consider ably, which effect was produced by, the Account, yesterday being the Settling Day in Foreign Se curities. Colombian Scrip was done at 9 discount, and Mexican Bonds from 491 to 484—a slight re-action afterwards look place. Notwithstand ing there is a general belief that the next Lisbon packet will bring the final determination with re spect to the Brazils of the Portuguese Govern ment, and which is considered likely to prove favourable, The SCrip was yesterday at a dis, count of 2 per cent. and in little requisition, as was also that of Buenos Ayres. Peruvian Scrip contimres at from 25 to '26 per cent.'discount ; but it would he difficult to find purchasers even at this quotation.

Ch. Dopin on the Commercial Power of England, many home truths are told to the Frekh Go vernment. . .... " Thepnblic mind. in that country (says the Reviewer) is not yet sufficiently enlightened • nor do we perceive that the Co. *eminent has yet shown a disposition to introduce or encourage any rational and liberal system of education, In this respect the Revolution, so far front conferring anybenefit, has plunged them in deeper ignorance than before—we mean, at' course, as to the generality' of the nation. One author speaks strongly, anti we believe justly, on the neglect of education of the lower orders in France, and recommends schools to be established on the /len and Lancaster system. 4 Let ns hope,' he says, that these Schools, ire which introduction is so rapid, and in which youth is so well accustomed to discipline, to obedience, to redc. lion, will be propagated more and plain: in our Belle Fiance. , -- But, al as ! lie adds, since the period in which I conceived this hope, so bewit c hi ng to t h e heart of the good citizen, de 'demi-4e prejudices have repelled with rege, and by every means, one al the fittest methods to secure to Frenchmen the superiority of knowledge and intellect—a superiority which can alone pre. serve them in the first rank atnong civilized nations.'--Louis XVIII, may issue 1;1% Ordinances for the restitution of the Jesuits, and.the endowing of Scotelt Colleges, but such instittt. tient; contribtne nothing towattlit the intt•llectual improvement of the great mass of the people." --Nothing can he more at. ,than this le •h the rerm c 1 r ovenment. f censure of t tin fortunately the French Government might justify itself by the , example of the zngitin LsOvernment. been mad e i n towns by. I Great e e rtions have lately x p disposed individuals t o educate- the Janthropically .lower orders, but the greatest ignorittice spill pre.' sails uuturtg the peasantry throughout th e greatest part of the country. In France, there were 9.0,880 with 866,000 ec h o . schools fur the people in 1817, lars ; in 1820, the number ofichools had increased to 25,900, and the scholars, to 1,070,500. We ques tion if this is not proportionably a greater number of scholars than there are in England. If-the• towns be excepted, we are satisfied that more persons in proportion to the - population receive instruc tion in France than in England. The neglect of the peasantry of Englund is a great reproach to the Government and to the Landholders of Eng land. Scotland owes its excellent institutions for education to the Presbyterian Clergy, who acted on the liberal principle that the labouring popu lation ought,to receive,all the mental cultivation which theirsituation admitted of. It ill becomes as, therefore, to reproach any foreign Govern ment with a neglect of the people:, when of all the Protestant countries of Earope, England is the one which has most negtecled the lower orders. " France (says the Reviewer), besides, labours under a want which is not likely soon to , be supplied. She has none of that highly respectable and useful class of society which is composed Of Country Gentlemen--men living on their own estates, and contributing to ' the comforts and the mental improvement of the neighbouring peasantry, of course she has no unpaid Ma gistracy to take a lead in encouraging works of public utility, and to plan and superintend such as are calculated fur the ge neral improvement of the country." We dislike, as much as the Quarterly Review, large masses of peasant population, without any individuals to whom they can look up for guid ance or example. When a country is once cut up into small patches, it improvement becomes a matter of extreme difficulty. We wish to see gradations of property. We wish property to have its fair influence—to see proprietors using that influence to promote improvements ; but we do not exactly see how the being unpaid Magis trates will enable the. Country Gentlemen to im prove their neighbourhoods, and we are certain that it enables them to practise much oppression. A qualified Magistrate would not interfere with the utility of the country gentleman, but by pre venting him from practising oppression, would enable him to be more serviceable in his neigh bourhood. [MORNING HERALD.] .Sunday's Paris Papers - arrived last night.— There is scarcely a paragraph of French news worth notice. Indeed the attention of the Pari sians seemed resting chiefly upon the iSRUO of a great aeronautic experiment, which was to be made at Tivoli on the following (lay. The aeronaut was to ascend in his balloon, mounted co cavalier upon a rein deer, which has been per forming With great popularity in the Riding Cir cus of M.,Franconi... The recent intelligence in these papers from Spain, ,and the few paragraphs from Greece, contain scarcely any thing new.— The Diet of the Qerinan.confetleration has been opened with a long harangue by the Minister of Austria, ictlng . as President, and address ing the Asserribly' hi the name of the Em. pew of AuStria. His I mperial Majesty is. made to soy that he shudders at the perils which Germany has escaped from demagogues, and thinks they are by no means exterminated, but retoire good looking after still. - lie is par ticularly shocked at the abuses which have found their way into the German Universities. His Imperial Majesty gives'hiS idea of a good system of education. The pupil, he says, must never doubt of any thing, and must keep clear of all that relates to the destiny of man, his relations of society, Scc.—in other words, he must renounce metaphysics, ethics, politics, and legislation, which would only " saturate" him with false science— lastly, he declaims against the art and mystery . of printing, and thinks with, we believe, lions sene, that the world might go on much better without it. [THE TIMES.] A new light appears to have been recently cast upon the institutions of France, on the forms of her Governm e nt, an d the condition of her people. Ferdinand VII. has,if report says true, added one to the number of Royal Authors. lie has addressed an " Epistle to the Philosopher of the 44 North, the Imperial Alexander," which has for its subject the extreme peril arising to all paternal Governments, like those of Spain and Russia, Romelia and Morocco, from the wild and bouudless liberty enjoyed by the French nation, under the still floating shreds and remnants of their most inauspicious charter I Among the out cries which have been often raised for an equali zation of weights and measures throughout the civilized world, it seems not to have struck the mind of any man, how convenient it might be, if for purposes of discussion only, to have some one authorized code or standard, by which to fix the precise meaning of political expressions. As matters are at present, we scarcely know by what common signs an English Statesman, or an American, for instance, can curry on the most simple discourse on politics with a clues of beings who talk deliberately about the 46 dangerous freedom" enjoyed by France under the Bour bons. Yet sach, it seems, is the burden of this song of the Spanjsh Solomon ! F er di nan d strenuously advises Alexander to do for France by an inundation of Cossacks what he com plains that Louis has not done for Spain by a French army--put down at once every vestige end shadow of right throughout the dominions of Louis, but that of the King to execute against his subjects whatever mischief the Royal will may prompt his Majesty to undertake. Ferdi nand, unless the letter be a forgery, reports to Alexander that the French are so unreasonable as to urge upon him the expediency of giving Spain some sort of representative constitution : but Chambers, ever so servile or ineffectual, are not, to the taste of this magnanimous Prince. lie says that the very name Is poison to his imagina tion, and that the King of France, by suggesting such a calamity, has effaced from his heart, how ever sensitive, all impressions of gratitude for re storing him to the throne of his reputed father. Ferdinand is positive that such fatuity must arise from the too liberal institutions of France herself ! and that Europe will never enjoy that repose which he presumes (and well be may) to be the object l i of the Holy Alliance, until all Chambers and Parliaments, and other depositaries of tree ac tion and free opinion, shall have been swept olf the face of society. Alexander is then conjured,. by his power irresistible, and by his unfathom able wisdom, to march au immense host of Cos- sacks against the French nation, which is to be blessed by the establishment of that same pater nal system which Ferdinand would perpetuate beyond the Pyrenees, if only his cousin Louis would permit him ; for surely that Government is paternal and patriarchal moreover, where the parent has power of life and death over the child.—A letter to the above effect is as serted openly to have been written by Fer dinand : it is in character at least, and in strict keeping. That the sentiments assigned to it and to the writer are calculated to obtain a fa vourable audience from the Autocrat, there is little doubt. Francis had naivet4 enough to an nounce to all mankind, that obedience was in Austria the one thing needful. It is, in fact, the sole aim and spirit of the Holy Alliance, that omnipotence is to be the attribute of every Mo narch, and perfect slavery the appanage of the human race. Poor blind worms ! Do they dream that such a conspiracy can prosper ? That, ,in spite of the press and the reformation, the mind of man can be choked--or idolatry, at its ebb tide, overflow from the Saint to the Sove reign ? Do they anoint themselves with the miserable vanity, that despotism will be suf fered to carry on her approaches undisturbed, that she may at least lay siege to England in this hemisphere, and to England's fair offspring in the other ? The folly of the arbitrary Courts of Europe Is obvious to all but themselves ; nevertheless it is a real folly, they 'do enter tain these fantastic visions, and will strive to clutch the bloody dagger which leads them to their own destruction ; but first, unfortunately, to that of their more innocent fellow-creatures. Truly has it been said by Ferdinand, or for him, that the species of tranquillity which the Holy Alliance aims at, will never he achieved until free institutions shall he everywheie over turned. It is in the nature of the despotic mania to move perpetually onwards, and to be satisfied with nothing short of extinction to the principle of freedom in act or word. France is to be first regenerated by the destroyers and disciples of Buonaparte—G rent Britain next: soon they fight among themselves for the prize of universal mount chy, when darkness visible covers the inhabited world : one hope, however, re mains : while any medium of discussion remains, tyranny cannot be absolute : even France,' in spite of its Censorship, is not entirely en slaved, while its Chambers are allowed to meet : and Great Britain, with its press and Parliament united, may laugh to scorn the vain babblings of the brute force of the Holy Allies.

At eleven o'clock, the persons who were to in front of the residence of his Grace the Archbishop of Cast- TEnnti aY ; and at twenty minutes before twelve, moved on in the following order 1— * Flags borne by Tradesmen', Sons.

The procession passed along Alblon.plaie, Harbour -street, anti fligh.street, to the ground appropriated for the building. Rail ings were placed to separate the spectators from the parties en gaged in the procession, and the ground was adorned with in numerable flags, green boughs, ornamented arches, &c. On arriving at the spot, an immense stone was lowered to the part dug for its reception—the latest -coins of the present reign were deposited -4i brass plate, handsomely engraved, was affixed thereto—and a second stone covered the whole, to be strongly affixed by iron clamps. His Grace the Archbishop spread the mortar with the trowel, anti joined the stone with mallet in hand. A Prayer was then offered up by the Reverend R. Harvey ; and after a Psalm had been sung • by the Charity Children, the Primate concluded the ceremony by a Prayer for the occasion, and dismissed the whole with his bless ing. A temporary building was erected on the ground fur the reception of her Royal highness the Duchese of Kent, who, t o . gether with the Princess Feodore, Mrs. Manners Sutton and daughters, Earl and Countess Manvers, honoured the ground with their presence. The procession left the field about half. past twelve, and returned to Albion-place in the same order as before, anti took leave of his Grace at his residence. The National Anthem of " Clod save the 'King" was given in front of his house ; and the numerous parties engaged in the proces sion, as well as the thousands of spectators assembled to view the ceremony, gradually separated, and withdrew from the busy Scene. The greaten order and regularity prevailed ; and it was highly gratifying to see such unanimity of sentiment. About 16 Clergymen, from the neighbouring parishes, joined in the procession ; and the con course o f strangers was b eyon d de scription. The streets were hung with flags and boughs, and every window looking to the line of the march presented lovely tacos and an animated scene. The New Church is intended to accommodate 2,0 00 persons, of whom 1,200 are to have free sittings; and when the increasing population of this town is taken into consideration, the edifice about to be erected will not be thought unnecessary. It is supposed that nearly 10,000 persons were drawn together to-day. A singular application was made to the Magis trate who presided at Guildhall yesterday. A person of the name of Cole proposed to swear an affidavit that he believed that his wife had married a gentletnan, who is one of the Magis trates of a London Police Office, and that, under tne name of that person and as his wife, she had obtained 40001. out of the custody of the Court of Chancery. He added, that he was informed, and very believed, that certain individuals, whom he named,knew and could state where the second marriage took place. Mr. Alderman SUM! did not consider the proposed affidavit as ' sufficiently precise and positive to justify his in terference, and It was returned to Mr. HAGUE, unsworn. On so vague a statement we have not thought it just to publish the particulars otfs:tasit rious a charge. Th e p r i n cipal object of h plicant was to induce the Magistrate to summon the parties before EXTRAORDINARY' gUICIDE. Oa Monday evening a respectable 'Jury was empanelled 'at the house of Mr. Bell, the Globe, Great John .street, Pancras, before Thos. STIRLING, Esq., Coroner, to inquire into the death of Richard Edwards, Esq., one of the principal clerks of the Navy Pay Office, who on Sunday last terminated his existence by suicide. Several of the principals of the department to which the deceased belonged . were in at tendance, and in the jury-room a number of gentlemen of the first respectability, attracted by the extraordinary mystery at tending the circumstances which caused the deceased gentleman to commit the dreadful act. Mr. Edwards, the father of the deceased, was first examined, and stated, that his son was aged about 33, was unmarried, and had no family, and resided with him and his sisters, in Lon don-street; be held a principal situation in the Navy Pay-office, and was at all times most particularly attentive to business.— Of late his manners had undergone a very considerable and vi sible change, his mind appearing to be in a state of irritation con tinually, which was far from his former habits. The family did not pay any particular attention to this change in his man ners, imagining it to proceed from some offence he might have received out of doors. He himself made no observation on the subject, and seemed not anxious or desirious of causing in. quiries to be made. He, although labouring under this !..ind of irritation, still kept his regular habits, and returned early each evening of the last fortnight. On Saturday last he came home as usual, and retired early to bed ; he had on that day been to Woolwich and Dartford to pay the men, which was part of his business. He made no complaint on that evening, neither did heat breakfast on the following morning (Sunday). His manner then seemed to be very much ruffled ; nevertheless, he ate heartily. There was also . a marked alteration in his countenance. After sitting a short time in the breakfast par. lours he went up stairs to his bed-room, as was his general habit, and about one o'clock the family were alarmed on hear ing a loud discharge of firearms in his room ; the report was so loud, that it attracted great attention in the streets around,— The witness rushed up stairs, followed by two female servants, and on opening the chamber-door they were horror-struck at beholding the young Gentleman stretched out, weltering in his blood.—LHere the utterance of the witness was rendered inar ticulate by excessive grief and emotion.l—Mr. Edwards, on recovering a little, proceeded to state, that lie raised his son in his arms, and the servants ran for surgeons; but on the arrival of Mr. Eyre, surgeon, of London-street, the deceased breathed his last ; he had shot himself through the temple with his fow. ling-piece, which lay at his left side. He had that morning evidently contemplated the rash act, and prepared for its final accomplishment, as the fowling-piece had been in a case, in pieces, and he must have put it together; he had loaded it with two ounce bullets, both of which had passed through his head, and lodged in the cieling.-IThey were produced, and bent, from coming in contact with some hard substances, probably the frontal bone of the head.] A Juryman here asked the witness, whether he could assign any cause for the commission of the act, beyond the appear. ances•which he had stated.—Mr. Edwards declared he really could not. The very desponding state in which lie was might have brought on temporary delirium. The Juror apologized for asking if any engagement of a ten. der kind might have preyed on his mind ?—Mr. Edwards said, not to his knowledge. Juror—lie was punctual and attentive to the duties of his important office, and was regularly in the habit of returning home after ,business, you say ?-111r. Edwards. Always, and his only associates were among his own family, relations, and friends, with whom ho, in turn, spent the evening in their own houses and domestic circles. His habits were remarkable regular. Several of the Jurors here expressed their regret, that a man of such a happy disposition, and regular temperament, should have given way to any despondency, whi c h m us t h ave b een caused by constitutional weakness. Mr. Edwards also stated, his son never complained of the duties of his situation. _ _ The two servants were in attendance, but as they could only speak confirmatory of the first evidence, they were not ex amined. Mr. Eyre, surgeon of London -street, stated, he was called in about half-past one o'clock on Sunday to attend the deceased, 'who was lying itihis bed-room insensible. Ile was informed the deceasedleitt shot himself; on examining the head he found two holes or perforations over the left ear, evidently gun-shot wounds; and on the opposite direction, on the right side of th e head, there, was a large wound, through which the bullets had forced a passage, and - bad carried port of the brain, skull, &c., into the ceiling ofthe room, where they lodged ; the bullets, in their passage, had coursed through . the brain, and shattered the principal vessels. lie died instantly on his arrival, a minute or two after he had committed the act I no human aid could save him. Mr. Eyre was of opinion, that the deceased, having loaded the fowling-piece, had placid the stock on the ground, and brought the muzzle or mouth on a line, placed Ins head over it, a short distance from the mouth, and then with the ramrod, which was in his right hand, lie forced down the trigger, and the gun of course went off. The mouth of the gun must have been sonic distance from his head, as the bullets had forced two different passages through one side of his head. Several gentlemen from the Navy Pay-office here were ready to prove that the deceased's accounts were perfectly in order, and the business and money transactions that passed through his hands were not in the most remote manner disarranged, and could not he more highly satisfactory, nor reflect more credit upon himself. They had also observed a very great change In his manners, for which they could not account. The Con owzit said, it was Indeed a lamentable case, but it was evident that the unfortunate gentleman had, somehow or h what cause nobody knew, became desponding ; and that , t always be found, was the attendant, or preceded soutidtedren temporary derangement, or such paroxysm of insanity, foresight could guard against. Every cir cu m. that sten no humancetoubin g his business or habits of life had been satisfac torily stated, and there was, in his opinion, but one conclusion for t h e J ur y to come to—namely, temporary derangemement. 'rife Jury having viewed the body, which l a y in the bed. room o f Mr. Edwards's house, and which presented n o external marks of the violence of his death, with the exception of the two wounds, from each of which a stream of blood issued, on their return, gave this verdict—" We find that Richard Ed. wards, Esq., destroyed himself while labouring under temporary mental derangement." It is remarkable, that within a circumference of 200 yards, within the last 12 months, fire persons have Committed sui cide—two by shooting, anoth er by hanging, and two by cutting their throats. eNIIMMINO SUICIDE IN A \VATCII.HOUSE. Monday afternoon, an Inquest was held at the Three Tuns, Belton -street, Long-acre, on the body of a young woman, who committed suicide in Saint Giles's watch-house. —Joseph Riley deposed that he was a patrol belonging to St. Giles's parish. He did not know the deceased before last Friday evening, when he was sent to take her into custody. On his arrival he found the deceased inebriated, eurround ed by a crowd of persona, and making a great disturbance. He took her to the watchhouse, where she was locked up. Witness called at the watchhouse, at nine o'clock, and on Mrs. Furxeman unlocking the door of the dungeon, she discovered the deceased hanging, having suspended herself by a shawl, which she had torn in small strips, and tied together. The Jury then proceeded to the watchhouse. They were first con ducted into a cell, where the deceased committed the act, a close confined place, with a window for the purpose of ventila tion with bars, to one of which the deceased had tied her shawl. It appeared that this room was appropriated for the reception of drunken characters. The Jury were then led into an ajoin lag place of confinement, of exceedingly small dimensions._. The keeper of the watchhouse stated that they frequently had sixty or seventy persons confined in this hole. 'Verdict " That the deceased committ e d the ac t i n a s t ate o f temporary derange. meat, brought on by excessive drinking." ACCIDENT IN TIIE KENT•IIOAD.--,-011 Monday evening about ten o'clock, as Mr. Gibson, of Chiselhurst, was returning home from London in his gig, when about half.way between the Lord Nelson public.house and the Green Man, it being very dark, a person on the wrong side of the road came driving along towards town at a furious rate, and coming in contact with Mr. Gibson's single-horse chaise, caused the ag. gressor's vehicle to overturn, and sent its careless driver across the footpath into the ditch. On his being taken up he ap. peered completely intoxicated, which, together with the injury he might have recived from his fall, rendered him incapable of getting into his gig without assistance, and totally incapaci. toted him from having sufficient command of the reins to pre. vent any future accident either to himself or to those whom he might chance to meet in his way . home. Mr. Gibson demanded the card of the author of the injury, who gave him the foll ow . ing address :—" Mr. Levi, 164, Fleet-street." He was then permitted to pursue his course towards town, accompanied by a person who witnessed the occurrence, who took charge of the horse and gig, with the incautious driver, determined not to leave them till all had been deposited in a place of safety. o n inquiry, we have since learnt that no person of the name of namresides at 154, Fleet.street, but an ironmonger of the e of DOwner.—(llforning Paper.) The sentence of contumacy, which had been pronounced against the Dean of Christchurch', Dublin, Was on Thursday last rescinded at the adjourned Visitation at Saint Patrick's Cathedral, the Dean then making his appearance and submission.
