ABUSES IN TRADE. .TO THE EDITOR. OF THE TIMES. S IR ,--The various expositions you have made of the abuses in trade evince the general ac curacy of your informations and are very im portant, as they affect, more or less, every member of the community ; for it must be evident to every person of comprehension, that the prospe rity of the nation has chiefly arisen from the skill arid industry of our artisans and manufacturers. It ins to this-we owe our great commercial pre-emi nence ; and whenever we lose that pre-eminence, the agricultural as well as all other interests, must sink under the pressure. If, then, a system of fraud and deception is to be pursued, whereby our manufactured commodities become debased in quality,—if a set of unprincipled persons are al lowed to commit these depredations upon the fair trader, and to defraud the public by vending all manner of trash, by the mere allurement, of low price,—if such system of fraud and plunder is to be encouraged, and by those in the upper ranks of life, it must inevitably lead to the most serious injury to our home and foreign trade, and tend to destro) that high honour, integrity, and con- Hence, that has marked the conduct and formed the pride and boast of British merchants and traders. We shall be superseded by foreigners, who have already made considerable advances towards rivalry ; and we shall find, by sad expe eiegce, that a trade once lost is not easily ee called. I may yet,' as was my intention, furnish you with some further particulars to aid you upon this subject, but wave my intention for the pre :sent, to notice the very extraordinary circumstan ges that you have brought to light of mal-praeti-1 cos and abuses that had existed in the baggage department of the East India Company ; for if these could be carried on, and the persons con cerned can escape with impunity, and even with out publicity, it is in vain to look for any thing like honour or integrity in the middle and subor eiinate classes of society. Goods imported from India by private individuals, which are subject to a duty of 75 per cent., are often allowed to pass by private valuation instead of being put up to leeiblic sale to ascertain the amount of duty to be paid thereon ; this valuation is left to an officer in the baggage department, and an officer at:der the board of customs. It appears by the statements, that these officers have acted in col , fusion With certain dealers, who are mostly the purchasers of such articles, and whom they have called in to make a valuation, and who, in fact, would, in such case be the valuers of their own goods ; that, in one instance, the articles were undervalued about 200 per ceent. ; that in ano ther instance at little more than one-half, which would have left so much as the difference in the aal4 duty of 75 per cent. would amount to, to put into the pockets of individuals. The extent ro which the revenue must have been defrauded, and the fair trader injured, cannot be ascertain ed ; but some estimate may be formed, when it has been stated that the year previous to the de tection of this practice the amount of duty paid on such articles was only . 20,0001., and that the following year it amounted to 40,0001. ;You have since inserted a paragraph wherein you have stated,, from information, that a stop has been put to these practices,' and that the per sons concerned were dismissed : but, Sir, is it enough, after these practices have been publicly noticed, to say that they are at an end, and the parties dismissed ? Will that satisfy the public ? Why have thess transactions been .smothered, and, the paitiee screaneci fraim justice ? Who were these officer", and who were these traders ? At present unjust suipiciOns may attach to in dividuals who are no wayi implicated. The ho nour and character of the Directory and of the Commissioners, and even of the Government.' itself, are involved. If such transactions are to pass in privacy, why, it will be asked, are petty offenders to be prosecuted at the instance of officers of the .Crown ? Why are poor wretches fined and incarcerated in gaols for smuggling a few pounds of tea, or a few p ounds of tobacco ? Sir, I trust that some' independent Proprietor will not suffer this matter to pass without some inquiry, AN OLD TRADER, OUTLANDISH HUNTSMAN. (From the Caledonian Mercury.) A gentleman who, not long ago, dwelt in a remote part of Dumbartonshire, in addition to a -pony and a couple of beautiful greyhounds, en tertained a monkey that had been sent to him by a military officer from Gibraltar. Pug had formed a particular friendship with the two dogs, and it was no unfrequent sight to behold him seated on the back of one of them, cantering across the lawn in front of his master's dWelling, and aping all the airs of a first rate sportsman. Mr. --- having risen early one morning, mounted his shaky, and, taking along; with him the two harriers, had scarcely emerged from the shrubbery that surrounded the ancient mansion, when pug, contrary to his wish, unexpectedly appeared, and was permitted, after a gebackntle rof pr i mand, to take his usual seat on the ,one of his favourites. After proceeding through several fields, and affording, by their conjoined drollery, abundance Of mirth to their worthy master; a hare s uddenly startecumbered up 3 few ridgnd, es from the nose o f the nend greyhou and scudded along with all the swiftness it was master of; when it was indinctively pursued by both of the dogs, pug all the while retaining his Seat with wonderful science, as, Mazeppa-like, he flew with his gallant steed round the side of a moory hill, with his tiny arms clasped firmly round its neck. The gentleman soon lost sight of them, but putting spurs to his pony, he fbl lowed as nearly as he could guess die direction they had taken, and coming 'up to en High lander, who was busily employed building A t stone dyke, he inquired of h>rn if he had seen any dogs pass by. " To g s, p less y our honour," responded Malcolm, " her saw yer air Mungo only ten minutes sync, tracing a hare wi' hot speed, and after hur rode a wee auld carle, on a grey Galloway, at sic a rate that the omuckle deil her nain sell cauld.a o'l : tak b no ur. d " oubt th Fromat the trio this de scription Mr. ha svhich had occasioned so much wonder to the ilighlander were his own ; and ehecking his pony, as: he had lost hope of o vertaking them, he tru dged quietly round to the other side of the hill, where (mirabile dicta !) he met the grey ; harrier returning with its rider, who, upon ap-, proaching his master, instantly dismounted, end laid the dead hare at his feet, hating carried it, beneath his arm from the spot where it was killed by Mungo—nearly half a mile distant, Mr.—, on liftin g up the offering, patted pug on the bead, as a reward for this equi-human display of rea son ; and, tom that day forward he was looked lapcm by all tl‘e old wives and children in the neighbourhood as something so near akin to an elfin Or fairy, that until the day of .his death, 4vhich. li'alVneCl shortly after, the urchin . who -ventured across the moor o f after sunset, o r before sunrise, was allo—ed t o be possessed ..kf small degree "of courage.. GERMAN PAPERS. CONSTANTINOPLE, Ocr. 25.--4(thle members of the Divan, which meets daily, are saki to have ex oressed a wish that Baron Ottenfeis, the Austrian Internuncio, would undertake the office of mediator between the Porte and the three Powers. But. even should this be the case, the consent of the Sul tan is hardly to be expected. With respect to the negociations with the other European Ambassadors and Consuls, they continue without interruption, as the conventions for the navigation of the Black Sea concluded by the mediation of M. de llibeaupierre iiadearly proved, and the Poi.: Effendi endeavoured to accelerate all affairs as much as possible. The Porte desires to make it manifest that it is always ready to fulfil wishes which.appear just and reasonable. Buell AREST, Nov. s.—We have letters from Constantinople to the 30th October, aceertling to which the capital was perfectly tranquil. But the Porte seemed to have received some very bad news, which it kept secret ; only persons who had business to transact with the Porte remarked an extraordinary consternation among the Turkish Dragomans, and wearied themselves with conjectures respecting the cause of it. A report that Lord Cochrane had burnt the Turkish and Egyptian fleet in Navarin, was spread already on the 26th; but as it came from a Greek source no credit was given to it. Later news is expected with the more impatience, as an tumuthenticated report is ill circulation here, that the Sultan has ordered an embargo to be laid on all vessels. The last post from ConStantinople brought word that the aid-de-cramp of the French Ambas sador, Count uilleminot, would pass through this city with the next despatehes as express to Paris. MUNICH, NOV. 16.—The solemn Service in the Church of St. Michael, to implore the blessing of Heaven on the labours of the Assembly of the States, was performed yesterday. The bells of all the parish churches commenced ringing at eight o'clock. At eleven a salute of artillery announced that his Majesty had set out from the Palace. The procession moved slowly, amidst the ringing of bells and salutes of artillery, through the streets, which were lined with troops of the line and militia. Every place was thronged with spectators, who evi dently took the most lively interest on the occasion. His Majesty, on entering the church, was received by the Princes of the Royal Family, the Court, the Ministers and Counsellors of State, and the general Staff. The Ve n i Creator was immediately perform ed, and then High Mass, after which his Majesty re turned to the Palace, in the same manner as be came, his arrival being announced by another sa lute. This brilliant solemnity was favoured by the finest weather. TRIESTE, Nov. B.—We continue to receive de tached pieces of information respecting the battle of the 20th October, which in all essential points fully confirm the report of Admiral Codringtoii, in the Journal of Florence. It was in vain that Admiral Codrington wished to make a difference between the Egyptian and Turkish ships, the Egyptian ships themselves partly rendered this impossible by their resistance, and then the martial enthusiasm of the European seamen did not allow any such difference to be made; and thus one of the greatest fleets that was ever seen in the Mediterranean was destroyed in a few hours. This event, however discouraging it is to the Divan, will fall heavily on Greece, as the character of Ibrahim Pacha gives reason to expect that he will, in his fury, entirely lay waste the Mo rea with fire and sword. VIENNA, NOV. 11.—We expect, with great im patience, farther news from Constantinople, to learn the effect that the battle of the 20th of October has produced there.. Nothing authentic has yet been received, Don Miguel still amuses himself every day with hunting. 3fetalliques, 911; Bank share% 1076. —Allgerneine Zeitung, Nov. 19. • FRANKFORT, OCT, 18.—The latest numbers of the Oriental Spectator to the 15th October, contain, of course, nothing relative to the events in the Le vant, but give various particulars of the previous state of things that are not uninteresting. A letter from Sri() of the 20th October, says—" The re ports of an intended landing of the Greeks on this island, which is confirmed by the appearance of many of their ships on the coast, have induced Jussuf Pacha to take precautions. All the Turkish families have been ordered to r etire into'the citadel, which is sufficiently stocked with provisions. The Pacha has intimated to the Greek Primates, that they need not be alarmed at then measures, which are adopted solely as precatitiopi in case the insurgents should land." • The Guards have got into their new Club , souse next door to Caocxronn's. 310xTnosE.—We are happy to state, that the question regarding the 16,0001., left by the late Mr. Ewa ti of Aberdeen, for erecting an hospital here for the education of children of decayed burghers, is now settled in f sour of the town. — Scotsman. CURIOUS ENGAGEMENT.—During the last week, the keepers of Earl TALBOT, at Ingestrie, witnessed at a short distance, a regular " set-to" between three or four crows, and a covey of partridges; it was a battle royal, and lasted about six minutes, when the partridges first took wing. On approaching the spot, sae partridge was found killed, with its head bit off, and a dead field -fare lay close by it.—Pottery Graftte. MONTGOMERY, THE POET.—A handsome and gratifying compliment has just been paid to this ex celient and gifted man by his townswomen. The ladies of Sheffield subscribed a suns of money to present hint with a small piece of plate, and the excess of the subscription be yond what sufficed for that purpose was to be given to the Moravian Mission at Toper;?, established by the poet's father, and where are the remains cf his mother. The modest and benevolent character of Mr, tlonrcostsaty was well consulted by presenting him with a splendid and finely wrought silver inkstand, and devoting. the rest of the subscription, amounting to Ten Hundred Pounds, to the purposes of the missionary settlement. —Scotsman.. Tiff. KING'S PARDON.-011 yStinday, Mr. SHEPHERD, the Governor of the House of Coriecti,op, re ceived his MAJESAIS most gracious remission of sentence for the fifteen stuff weavers convicted at the General Quarter Sessions for this Borough, held in April last, of a conspiracy, riot, and assault, on condition of their severally entering into recognizance for their goad. behaviour for twely,e months. The signature of his MAJESTY is in a remarkably f u se hold Land.—Leeds Mercury. Some days ago, four men, who had been on a drinking ramble, went into a public-house in Auchterar der, where they sat down resolved to make a " giorish finish," as they termed it, of the day's housing. After some time, one of them, DAVID GARRIE, boasted to his companions that he could dr4.lc off a bbttle of the strongest vhiskey. A bottle was accordingly lcought in, when all partook of it, and the melancholy resuir would infer that GARRiE had drunk a greater portion than his cowpa ' iiions. On the whiskey being finished, Gmtate laid his Lead on the table as if asleep.--it was the sleep of death.— His companions left him, supoosing that he was only taking repose. In about three hours thereafter, lie was found in she same position cold and lifeless. We under stand he has lea a wife and family to mourn his hapless indiscretion. — Glasgow ph ron icle. at Saturday night, a tiaui er burglary was committed o the premises of Mr. flAnowin6s, ,or Long lane, Southwark. This gentleman, who had been absent , 'in Sussex on business, only returned to town the same evening, and from the cold and fatigue which he had ex v,rienced, it is presumed that he slept too 26updly to bear the depredators, who would, if the noise made in their' a wless pursuit had awakened Mr. H. most likely have', paid the forfeit of their lives for teir guilty temerity, as 4,1 - r.

I, 1627. Citizen Deputies ! Citizen Senators ! — The nation, as well as myself, beholds with satisfaction the union of its representatives, re-assembled at this period of universal confidence. _ "I'he adjustment of our commercial system, which has twice occupied the close attention of Congress, is nearly brought t* a conclusion. The subject, difficult and intri cate in itself, has required time for the collection of facts ;- for theories are of little use, unless confirmed by expe rience. You have the satisfaction of feeling that every thing has been done which existing circumstances would admit of; and that it only remains to give the finishing stroke to a work already so fir in progress. At this ativanced period, although our iegislators have , ;o profoundly meditated on the necessary regulations to be imposed on the liberty conceded to all of us, of publishing our thoughts, new facts, and, I may add, the safety and security of the nation, impose on you the duty of framing a law for the correction of abuses—a law which, at the same time that it shall give due protection to the press in advocating the rights of the people against the attacks of arbitrary power, shall prevent it from fomenting despicable animosities—or from drawing aside the veil, which con ceals, for the good of all, the miseries of the human lot.— Government abstains from accumulating proofs of the ex istence of the evil here described, but refers you to the publications of the day, some of which are so energeti cally employed in fanning the flame of discord, and dis turbing our so much envied tranquillity. In applying ourselves, with zeal and discretion, to the consideration of this most important subject, you will secure for yourselves a just title to the everlasting gratitude of the nation. Various treaties with Foreign Powers will he laid before Congress for its approbation, and others will hereafter be submitted. It is desirable that our social existence should he outeagthened and consolidated by a friendly and harmo nious intercourse with all the civilized nations of the uni- verse. The state of our ecclesiastical encroachments will also come under your consideration. In this matter you will act as prudence shall dictate / always holding sacred the rights of the nation. The moment is opportune, and the Executive conceives that the Apostolical See will he dis posed to listen to the suggestions of the Mexican Plenipo tentiary. In this event the Mexican Church will rise from her widowhood to acquire new glory, and to shine with redoubled splendour. The active militia, and the contingent of troops for the army, do not less demand your attention than the local militia, which, under its present defective organization, is incompetent to fulfil any one purpose of its original inten tion. I have before insisted upon the necessity of a law to gevent desertion, and shall not enlarge upon it here. The organization of an establishment for conducting the affairs relating to public credit has not yet been completed. In order that its existence should not lle purely nominal, it is essential that all the responsibilities and guarantees of the nation should he regularly ascertained—its good faith solemnly pledged—and its desire to consider all its engage 111'.N1tS sacred and inviolable, rendered manifest and unques tionable. In order that our established resources should equal, and even exceed, the exigencies of the State, you will have to consider the system o maritime custom-houses, the regu lations respecting commissariats, and the general treasury. The nation looks forwa rd with anxiety to the result of the analysis of the memorials of the Minister of Finance. Congress will grant to these affairs the priority of attention which their nature and importance demand, and which I most strenously recommend. These, and other subjects of weight and interest, have culled you together ; and the nation, which has reposed its sivereign power in your hands, calms its apprehensions, and looks forward with hope and confidence, when it con templates its representatives, legitimately assembled here, to preserve, by your salutary decrees, its glorious independ e ice and present form of Government. The Congress of tie Union and the Executive will never betray the hopes of the nation. In the hour of peril, or in the hour of pros, perity, our country—out country alone—shall be the object of our dearest hopes, and most energetic exertions. DECREE OF TICE PROVINCIAL CONGRESS OF JALISCO, EX- YELLING THE OLD SPANIARDS. Art. I.

The profits arising from such properties shall be carefully disposed of, for the purpose of being returned to the proprietors on the conclusion of peace. 20. Of these profits the Government shall give an an nual account to Congress. MEXICO, Sri• i 1 .2.-,--Our last letter to you was under date of the 15th of August, by the Hope packet. The Francis Feeding packet arrived at Vera Cruz on the 18th instant, and brought letters from London to the 19th July, and newspapers to the 20th. The Mexican Government and Local Notes continue still unsaleable, though their no- minal value is ne4. - their former quotation. The loan which was in contemplation has r;ot yet taken place, and it is reported the Government are likely to require more advantageous terms. Congress has mei, and the arrange ments for new Import Duties, it is said, are nearly con cluded. As concerns the deliberations on public credit, nothing has appeared yet of any importance. It appears very probable that the dividends on the loans in England will be attentively remitted. The existing Gove rnment i s not likely to be disturbed, appears that Congress is very m uc h oppo se d t o th e and it edexpulsion of the old Spaniards; and that though suelt a law has passed in one of the States, it is not ex pected to take place in scarcely any other, from the evident injustice and impolicy of the measure, and that circum stances have not all proved the necessity of it. The differences and discussions on tnilitaiy ; 1 41 4 7iP2 in which Gen. Rincor was concerned, are all settled. The Generals and others accusal of disaffection to the Government some time since, are still in confinement. A condncteur or convoy of money, for Vera Cruz, is a ppointed to depart from this on the 25th inst. British m anutitcturets cQutinue rather of slow sale; but as the rainy season will be over in a few weeks, much more activity may be expected; prices, however, have not materially altered. Bills on England ma y be geeted 12 to 43 per dollar, but there are scarcely any buyers at piesent at tlic..t; rates, and the opportunity of a convoy for money for Vera Cruse shortly, atTords a prospect of making a remittance in dollars to mere ad vantage, The Beal del Mollie A!ig.,,s are producing favourably, and some bars of silver have arrived here for cuing, It is fully expected the produce will be regular and valuable. The Valenciana Aline is also in an improving state. The Treaty of f2eremerce between this country and Great Bri tain is now published here. The intended couducteur for Vera Cruz has prevented the sale of bills on ;/era Cruz for some time past. The exchange, before the announcement o f the condueteur, was 9 to 12 pm. for bills. Lord NonNIANny has taken his departure for F i l s oer new here his l a d y h as b een residing for s ome time.

(From the Gazette de France, Nov. 23.) The disorders which took place on the 19th were con tinued yesterday. , About six in the evening groups of dis orderly persons began to assemble in the rue Saint Denis, Saint Martin, and the streets adjacent. From hence they dispersed in troops of about eighty each into the neigh- pouring streets of Ferronerie, Saint Honore, &c. making an alarming uproar, which caused the inhabitants to close their shops, breaking windows with stones, and crying out " lights, lights." They were pursued by some detach ments of the mounted grenadiers of the guard, and of the gendarmerie from street to street,:but escaped, in consequence of the darkness, and the numerous alleys inthe neighbour hood. Nothing serious had yet happened in the rue Saint Denis, but at half-past ten the General commanding the troops having been informed that the whole force of the se ditious was collected in the rue Saint Denis, which they barricadocd, gave orders that they should be attacked on both flanks. When summoned by the Civil Officers to disperse, they were saluted with a shower of stones and some shots were fired at the troops. The sappers of the Eighteenth scaled the barricade, and met their assailants with a. discharge of musquetry. The seditious then re tired behind a second and a third palisade, from which also they were disloged. A great number 'were arrested, and five were found dead upon the spot. LIES OF THE DAY. The Courier Francais.—M. de Villele has given in his resignation, of which his Majesty accepted. It is also said that M. de Villele experienced an attack of apoplexy. Les Debats.—The report circulated this morning of the serious illness of M. de Villele is confirmed this evening. La Quotidienne.—The Infant Don Miguel will go di rectly from Vienna to London. The Cabinet of London will detain the Noble Infant, and send him to RinJaneiro, from whence his brother will not permit him to revisit Portugal. _ _ (From the Gazette di France, of Nov. 24.) BERLIN, Nov. 26.—His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, his Highness Duke Charles of Mecklenbnrg, and Count Nostiz, are gone to New Strelitz. For some days past we have observed a very active ex change of couriers. According to accounts from St. Petersbargh, the Uni versity of Dorpat has been in danger of the same fate that has befallen within these twenty years the Russian Univer sities of Kasan, Moscow, and Abo ; on the 24th, at two o'clock in the morning, a fire broke out which raged with great fury, and almost supernatural exertions were required to subdue the conflagration. BARCELONA, Nov. 14.—Yesterday morning the Lieu tenaut-General commanding the division, received notice from the Minister of the Interior to bold himself in readi- ness to march within three days after orders should have been given by the Viscount de St. Priest, our Ambassador to the King of Spain. Almost at the same instant a cou rier from Valencia brought this order, and shortly after wards this news was announced in an Order of the Day, of which the following is an extract:— " The King having ordered his Ambassador, Lieutenant- General Viscount de St. Priest, to propose to his Majesty the King of Spain, the evacuation of the capital of Cata lonia, on his expressing the slightest desire to that effect, this proposal has been accepted. In consequence the troops comprising the division of Catalonia will commence their march to France on the 16th inxtant, and will leave Barce lona in eight columns, viz. the 16th, 17th, 18th, 20th, 22d, 24th, 26th, and 28th," (a statement of the force of each column is added). This order concludes as follows: " The Lieutenant-General hopes in the marches which they are going to make the troops will maintain that strict discipline which has obtained them the most flattering commendations, and which they have merited by their ex cellent conduct since they have been in Spain. (Signed) " The Viscount De ST. PRIEST." PARIS, Nov. 23.—Yesterday evening, the same mea sures that we observed the day before yesterday, were taken by the authorities, the streets in which the riots broke ont were entirely occupied by troops. LIES OF THE DAY. The Constitutionnel.—An important Note has been addressed to the French Government by the Ambassador of Austria. Austria has resolved to take part in favour of the Turkish Government. The same.—The Ladies of the Ambassadors had em barked, at the departure of the last courier from Constan tinople. (From the Journal des Debata of Thursday) . - PAsas, NOv. rersons destitute of education give and easily forget insults; . M. de Villele has thought that he might insult'the whole elite of France assembled to exercise an act of sovereignty, by applying to them the words, invented during the bloody periods of our Revolu tion—,, I wished to dishonour you, being candidates ; be ing Deputies in spite of me, here is your reward—give me your h an d and let us be friends." This is the sense of the article he has had published in the Monitcur; on seeing his minority in the Electoral Colleges of A rr ondissements. He did not reflect that if his insults were recommendations, every reconciliation with him would inflict dishonour. Free nations have a majesty of their own, which consists in their not permitting themselves to be degraded. France is astonished to see in what manner the Electoral Colleges have united their votes for the same persons. It must be attributed to the wretched system of centraliza tion, which weighs on us since the restoration. Enlisted by Buonaparte in the interest of despotism, which was afraid of local attachments, and dreading all influence not the re sult of its favour, it ought to have been extinguished at the return of legitimacy by the renunciation of absolute power. The object of a Charter is to guarantee public rights; the object of a Representative Government is to collect every influence in support of the Throne and Liberty—to concen trate every thing in the hands of servants of the Ministers, and to disinherit the provinces—a truth -wlvich we now publish, because it will be better appreciated than at any other period. At present, terrified by the conduct of the Colleges of Arrondissements, M. de Yillele appeals to time Colleges of the Departments, which he calls the representa tives of property ; and supposes them to he the deposi taries of monarchical opinions, as revolutionary passions belonged to the representatives of commerce, industry, and intellectual superiority. The other Electors are proprietors, however, as well as the members of the Departmental Colleges. The suns a man pays can never be the measure nor the guarantee of his opi nion. Can it be the measure of the interest involved ? —I appeal to those whom M. de Villele designates as the representatives of property :—you are the only persons whose revenue is estimated vigorously by the fiscal, and are only to be relieved to the extent of two millions, while your losses will be 100 millions. Hail and storm come from nature, and are not taken into the account by the Government. Yonr fate is preowned to be fixed, awl the budget is inexorable; you alone are taxed by estimation. Do you not pay more than the other citizens to the taxes on consumption, by the rise they cause in wages, and in the price of objects necessary to cultivation ? The laud occu pies more hands than all the other branches of industry ; it pays therefore the vreger part of the indirect taxes, after being ruined by the land tax. This is the cause -of the difficulties, increasing year affix year, of the rural proprie tors : slaves, fixed by the fiscal to the soil—threatened last Session with the responsibility of a deficiency occasioned by the wasteful extravagance of de Yillele, he now greets you as the only aristocrats ! Nay you he aristocrats like manufacturers and merchants, who pay only in proportion to the produce they obtain ; and at least you will pay nothing when the seasons deprive you of those crops you had laid out large sums to obtain, What advan- • tage can you find in the system of centralization ? The Gardes-champetres, whom you. pay, are become your masters, since M. de Villele made them agents nominated by him. The system which ruins you can have no claims on you. Leave your fields, and come to Paris to learn the character of the aristocracy of our time, You will see the Ministers in their palaces ; the Director-Generals, the Ad ministrators at the Heads of the Police, in their brilliant saloons : notice their dinners, their fetes, their equipages, and you will see how your contributions are employed. The aristocracy of the fiscal have only the trouble of sign ing, and they receive their gold. You pay your contribu tions seven months before the earliest harvest ; these gen tlemen are paid twelve times in the year. Rain, drought, conflagrations; haye never reached them.

A great number of houses had their windows broken, even two stories high, and several have marks of balls to the third and fourth stories. (From the Constitutionnel of Friday.) PARIS, Nov. 22.—A1l was quiet yesterday, because the sentinels were posted early, and intimations given that force would be employed to protect the peace. The same pre. cautions might have been taken on the preceding evenings. Why were not the Police there to prevent any disturbance which might take place? Its mere presence would be suf ficient to prevent the very idea of a disturbance. There is not a man of sense who must not perceive the truth of this remark. A rumour was current yesterday, at the closing of the Exchange, that the Austrian Ambassador had sent a diplo matic Note to the French Government. This Note, which had 'already been communicated to the British Cabinet, was, it is said, a declaration that, if France and England seconded Russia, in case the latter Power made war on the Porte, Austria was determined to take part with the Turkish Government. We are very far from pledging ourselves for the truth of this statement, which we have repeated merely because it has been in circulation, and was calculated to produce a sudden fall of the public securities.

We are consoled by reflecting, that when the peaceable in habitants of the capital are informed of the cause and con sequences of such disorders, they will not be renewed.

At an early hour this morning an Express arrived from Paris, bringing the French Papers of Saturday, and the Gazette de France, dated yesterday morning. The latter contains a post script, stating that the Government , had just re ceived despatches from General GuILLEMINOT at Constantinople, dated the sth inst., when every thing remained calm. The news of the battle at Navarin had been known in that city four (lays before. The Representati*es of the Three Powers, parties to the Treaty of London, in concert with the Austrian Internuncio, were exerting themselves at the PORTE to obtain frora ,he Divan, in consequence of this event, its accession to the pacification of Greece. The Gazette de France adds, that at the mo. ment of the departure of the courier, hopes were still entertained that they would succeed. The FEARS, therefore, which were enter tained by some for the safety of the Ambassadors, are thus happily removed ; but this intelligence does not raise our HOPES so much as it does ;hose of some of our cotemporaries as to the irn mediate submission of the SULTAN. It is evi dent, from the words of the Gazette de France itself, that the PORTE still resisted, and the expec tation said to be entertained at the departure of the courier, that the Ambassadors would suc ceed in their object, is not mentioned with such confidence as to justify any very sanguine hope. In fact we suspect that the SULTAN may have re ceived the news of the destruction of his Fleet with affected indifference, and will leave the Allies to pursue such ulterior objects as they may think fit. This is the course we always believed his Highness would adopt. It was not to be ex pected from his character that he would resort to those measures against the Ambassadors which his less enlightened predecessors would, in such case, have adopted. But the sacrifice of Lis Fleet having been made, it seemed to us more likely that he would again procrastinate, in the hope of being yet able to effect the conquest of Greece, than that he should immediately sue cumb. This he evidently did not --dn,:3lllit. will therefore probably still remain for.thel i ! to take those ulterior measures which were " ginally contemplated for the pacification of GO:: The Gazette de France makes the resulto the Election of Deputies by the Colleges Of,.
