At fo the.documents to be registered. In order to effect the primary object of the Re gister, it would.appear that every document relating to real property,. by which any estate or charge is created or transferred at law or in equity, should be registered. We propose, however, to exclude from the Register 'instrumento relating to copyholds, anti leases for terms not exceeding twenty-one years at racksrent, where the possession goes along with the lease, and all instruments relating to *itch leases, and accompanied with actual possession. We propose that the latter qualification *there'd be so framed as to prevent tI4 exclusion from applying to securities and settlements. . As to copyholds, the Conn rolls, which are essen tial to the tenuee, form a 'hicid register. There are indeed instruments relating to the beneficial owner ship of copyhold property, which do not appear on the court rolls ; but we think it expedient to post pone the consideration of extending the Register to this species of interest. There will be no difficulty in making this extension after the Register has been estelAished. Leased of copyholdi, with the license of the lord, which take effect as rommon•lew interests, are not to he considered within this exclusion. As to leases. In the existing Registers the ex• caption is confined to leases for terms not exceed ing twenty-one years, either at rack-rent, or when the possession goes along with the lease. These qualifications. have led to questions whether regi• aeration becomes et cessery in consequence of circum stances which take Olive After the creation of the interest. " We• consider' that the qualifications we propose will prevent these questions. We also propose to exclude from the Register reach instruments relating to shares in public work s ' and to securities upon then as must, under the pro- Visions of local Acts of Parliament, appear in the books of Companies. Some of the ewes to which we propose that regi• stration shall apply require 'observation. Contracts, inasmuch its they are the means of creating or passing in equity estates end interests, are documents which, upon the principle we have Mated, are to be registered ;' but they are tempo. eery in their nature, and often in a form ill adapted for registration, as where' they are contained in a series of letters. It is seldom necessary, and often inconvenient, that they : should continue to form part of the title. We therefore propose that means should ht afforded of protecting contracts for a li mited time, without placing thorn on the Register. This appears to be a proper place for entering into the necessary explanation oh the subject of Caveats. A caveat will be a document to be executed by the owner of an estate preventing registration within a limited period from having any effect, as against an instrument to he registered within such period by the party in whore favour the caveat is given. It will not be necessary to require that the nature or terms of the transaction with reference to which the caveat is given, should be specified, but it must be precise as to the property. Provision may be made 'for extending the period by a renewal of the caveat. Caveats may be used for the following purposes:--- To preteet putchasers and mortgagees during the interval between the time of searching the Register and the completion of tiur transaction by the regis tration of the conveyance. A cautious purchaser may requite a caveat, which he 'may present tor re gistration at the same time that he sends to the Re goiter-office for a certificate to spew the registered documents affecting the title, awl he may then 11 his money upon, the execution of the deed with perfect security that noitistrument can be registered so as to affect his title hetWt en the date of the cer tificate and the registration of his own deed. To this mode we have already referred in our observa tions upon the ; queittion of delay. Protection may be afforded by a caveat in the same nounier where time is required for the execu tion of a deed by different parties.. Caveats may also be "Died as the means of pre ventiog the necessity of registering contracts. Caveats may also be resorted • to es a substitute for the registration of equitable loans, by deposit of deeds, aceortspanied with a memorandum of mort gages for short periods, and of deeds for ether tem porary purposes, the registration of which it may be thought desirable to suspend or to avoid altogether. We think that the entry of a caveat should 'not prevent the registration of subsequent instruments affecting the same property. An equitable mortgage, by mere deposit of title deeds riceompenied by it 'memorandum, might be registered by the registry of the memorandum ; but a mere deposit of deeds without any muniorandttm, would not prevail over any subsequently registered instrument, anti therefore , could no longer be relied upon. tloWever, we think that the security by simple deposit of deeds without Writing, is, in its :ples,ent state, open to serious ebjeetions, and that it ought to be restored to its original state, viz. that; the party might retain the deeds under his contract Until his debt wits satisfied, but that they should give no lien upon the lamb The possession of title.deeds would become of comparatively importunes little imp af ter establish ment of a register. This, we are are aware, would impair the value' of the lien of solicitors on title deeds oftheit aorta ;. perhaps this inconvenience, its art accidental 04 4 could not justly be complained of, and it might be comptmeated by ensue alteration of the rules relating to securities for the costs of solicitors. A seller's lien for unpaid purchase money should ;Ws we think. preveil against it subsequently tettletered deed for valtiable consideration, unless the feet of non-psyment, or claim of lien, appeared on the anguish deed, or 'were noticed on the .Register, iedgmetits in the Courts. of Westtnioster are re 'wired by the statutes of 4th and Sib of William and c. 2:0,' 7th , end hilt c, 36, l e 3, to be entered in alphabetical . dockets Or lista three times a year, and there are no sufficient meant, o f wcertairting whether a. judgment has been entered up subsequently to those which have been decketeiL The list, are in some respects ineorrevtiy kept, trod: they contain only the itarwets of the parties; without any other deicription, Owing to this imperfect mode of registr,y, the sears It for jorignients is attended ; with great expence,.delay, aunt utteertaioty. In order to irtsurte the safety of 5 purchuser; It is necessity to search in all the Courts in the eetrie of every person Who may have been the owner of any part of the estate.

We think that improvements might be made in the mode of framing the alphabetical indexes' of; judg meats; but we apprehend that under the best system which could be adopted. Oita &acuities must exist; however, we contemplate important a:terations iu the law respecting judgments, which will avoid every difficulty attending the registration otthent. Other securities of the nature of judgments (such as Statutes staple and Statutes merchant) are be. come nearly, if not entirely, obsolete ; but if not abolished, it would he right to include them in the same provisioni, in order to prevent all attempts to evade the law, by substituting such securities for judgments. Securities and engagements to the Crown bind the real estates of dvbtore, and also of their sureties, in most - cases, from the time when the security to the Crown was. given, or when the office or engage ment in respect , of which the debt. has been con tracted was acquired or entered into. The modes it Which pereons may become accountants to the Crown are very various, There are not at present any adequate means of ascertaining that no such security, engagement, or account, is in existence, and there is often such an absence of any circumstance to excite suspicion of the liability of the owner of an estate, that no search is attempted. We have no hesitation in expressing our opinion that liabilities to the Crown should not be effectual against pur chasers without registration, Decrees or orders of Courts of Equity should be registered where tiny have the effect of transferring, creating, or determining any right nr interest, at d form a necessary link in he title, After the commencement of a suit, every party dealing- with the property to which the suit relates, is liable to be affected by the result of it. We ►hink it expedient, in order that this rule should be bind ing on a purchaser, that some entry or memorandum of the suit and its object should be registered. We think that a similar memorandum should be registered in the case of an appeal. In considering this subject, the first question which arises is, whether a memorial of instruments should be registered, or whether they should In; re corded at length. The- Register Acts for Middle - - sex, Yorkshire, and Ireland, require only the regis try of a memorial, specifying the date, names of the parties, the parcels and the names of the witnesses. In the tiOlord Level, and in Scotland, and the Colonies, the registry ie an inrolment of the instru ment. The registration of a memorial fails to answer some important purposes to which a Register may be made , subservient, while it is exposed to most of the objections to registration as fully as a more per fect record; and in some cases its effect is positively objectionable; thus a deed may have been exe cuted, which, fro:n subsequent events, is immaterial to the title, as u demise for a term which has ex pired; and yet, if the contents of the deed cannot he shown, the indication of its existence on the Re gister will render the title unmarketable. We are therefore of opinion, that instruments should he, registered at length. To this rule, how weer, there must be tome exception. such as corn s missions of bankrupt, and proceedings in Courts of Equity. It is obvious, that the benefits of the Register would be greatly extended, if the effect of an origi• mil instrument were given to the record. This effect is now given under the statute of 27 Henry VIII. to the enrolment of a bargain and sale. But to make such a provision admissible, strict proof shotild be required of the due execution of the in strument which would be burthensome. In this re spect the Statute of inrolment is deficient. We think it more expedient that an original of the do mount should be deposited for registration, and that: when the parties are desirous of having a du plicate original, the two should be compared at the office, and a certificate of registry should be indorsed on the one which is to he returned theStarnpB may be affixed on either of them. We also propose, that deeds should be written hook.wise for convenience of registration. This regulation cannot be extended to contracts and wills. We considered it necessary to ascertain whether the expenses of registration would be increased by requiring tot original deed to be deposited instead of the registration of a memorial. A memorial must be prepared by a person of competent skill to select and state the particulars to be inserted in it. The amount of the ordinary charges for registering a deed in Middlesex is two guineas, when it does not ex ceed one sheet of parchment, and the case does not include any extraordinary circumstances. In cases requiting greater length and trouble, the expense is proportionably increased, A thrplieute of a deed re quires only the expense of copying. At the present average length a dupliente 'could be made at less expense than ti memorial,' and we apprehend that hereafter the length of deeds will be considerebly: re dewed.: We are therefore satisfied, that in the greater number of eases the deposit of, the original, even when the parties may thinlc it necessary to have a duplicate, will be attended with less cost than a memorial. We apprehend that itt many cases, and especially in small transactions, parties will not re quire a duplicate, and will be content to leave the evidence of their title at the Register Office, where it can always be resorted to. In judging between registrational at length and a memorial of the deed, the greater length of ,the do cuments to be.phiced on the Register in the former Mode is as important consideration. We have men tioned that registration, in the manner we have pro. posed, would tend to, the shortening of deeds. ‘Ve take occasion here to add, that we have provisions in view with regard to Alienation by Deed (one of the Most important of the subjects remaining for our eonsial►rration), which - we confidehtly expect will effect this object to a much greater extent. It may be necessary to provide for some case* in which an instrument is made between numerous par. ties who ►eside at a distance from each other, and must execute hat different times. Since a deed comes valid, its the act. of each party, from the tim e of its execution, it may be necessary to register it, as to the execution of some of the parties; before it hat(been executed by the others. These cases may be provided for by caveats, or by allowing the pro visional registration of a copy of the deed, com pared and examined with the original at the office, and cyan which the executiotr by different parties from time to time may be certified by an officer. There may be cases in ,which different parties may be entitled to interests under the same deed, and the party in , possession of the deed may not be unwilling to regtsterit ; in order to remedy this in. converdeoce, we propose that any Judge of the su perior Courts at Westmintiter should be empowered in a summary way, upott an application from any party interested in a deed, to compel the registra. tine of it. In the Cases in which a contract is to be collected from a series of letters Or papers, of which some only may be in the howls of :the .party who may wish to register it, whilethu other party may refuse either to concur in the regituraion, or to execute a caveat, the benefits of the Register may always be obtained by filing a bill to enforce the performance of the contract . , and registering a notice of the suit; or a Summary application may-be mule, as in the case to Which We have adverted, in respect of deeds and this would in most cases lead to the execution of a formal contract. The law relating to executory contracts eppears to require revision, and the altera tions which it may ho, expedient to make in it, may have the effect of removing the inconvenience we btivejust referred to. Wills affecting real estate should bo m registered in possible) 3 the same manner (as nearly us pOSSIO) as ilett A a. Wills WIJICh also effect personal estate, must, under the present system, be proved in nun of the Eccle siastical Courts; but as the probate is the primary evidence with respect to personal estate, the original, as soon as probate is granted, heel:MOS comparatively unimportant, except with respect to the real (Mtge ; and we are therefore opinion, that it should bq mud imperative on the Mktg of the Eccleitiast l Court t o trims/Mt to the Register Once, after probate, any win effecting real, estate,:at the request of any person who may claim an interest under it. It will not be necessary to regiiter at length the pro&Jedings of Courts of Records or other docu ments, the originals of which must be resorted to at other places; it will be sufficient to afford a re ference to them. With respect to judgments, sta tutes, and recognizances, we think the sums should appear as well as the dates, the names of the parties, and the courts or places in which they are to be found. As to debts and securities to the Crown, we think that the names and descriptions of all persons who contract, either as principals or sureties, any liabi )ity to the Crown should be entered at the Register Office. Private Acta of Parliament relating to estates, In closure Acts, and such other Acts as form parts of titles, may be conveniently registered, by depositing a printed copy at the office. A TO T►►E AUTHENTICATION OF DOCUMENTS FOE TIIE PURPOSE OF REGISTRATION. The next subject for consideration is, whether any authentication of the documents presented for regh , tratiou should be required. Some evidence that the document has really been executed by the parties has been required in almost all Registers. In seine of the States of Germany and in Sweden, and other countries where alienations are not per fected without an act of Court, the transaction is anthenticated by an acknowledgment In Court by the parties themeebies or their attorneys. In France and Italy, and other countries where the notarial system is established, all contracts and deeds are prepared by notaries, and executed in their presence, and their attestation is known, and is sufficient to authenticate the instrument. In Scotland, no au• thentication is required for the registration of an in strument; but Various formalities which are supposed to secure the genuineness of instruments, are re quired for their validity. By the law of most of your Majesty's Colonies, ' and of many of the American States, the deed is acknowledged by all the parties, or proved by sub scribing witnesses before some judicial authority ; or if executed in Englund, acknowledged before the chief magistrate of a corporate town in England. By the law of some of the West Indian Islands, deeds must be acknowledged by the parties, or if executed our of the island, must be acknowledged by attorney. It is evident that the power of attorney which may be contained in the deed itself is useless for the purpose of authentication, because the deed may be fabricated as easily with it as without it. By the Statute for the inrolment of bargains and sales 27 Hen. VI 'Leaf), no acknowledgment or proof of execution is directed; however, acknowledgment by some one party, or the affidavit of a witness to the execution of one party, is required in practice ; and by the Statutes.. and 6, Anne, c. 18, s. 1,2, 6 Anne, e. 35, a. 16, 17, and 8 Geo. li., c. 6, a. 21 (whereby the authority to inrol bargains and sales is given to the respective Registrars in Yorkshire), the deed is required to be acknoWledged in the West Riding before the Registrar or his Deputy, and a Justice of the Peace , and in each of th e ot h er Ridings before a Justice of the Peace only. It hes been decided, that where acknoWledgment or proof becomes impossible by the death of the parties, the deed may be inrolled without authentication, and tin inrolment can in no.case be impeached for want of authentication. No evidence of the authenticity of deeds regi , stered under the Acts for draining the Bedford Leve' is required either by the Acts or in practice. (To be continood.) The unhappy and guilty marriage and suttee• quent (Ryon* which form the subject of Lady Cii A nr,orrg Ilunv's new tale entitled " Separation" is strictly true in its main circun►staoces, The nobleman who nefariously became the husband of two living wives in but lately de ceased ; the affair was at the titne hushed up, hut its particulars are at length disclosed, and if, instead of a Spanish lady, as in the novel, the reader will consider the heroine to be a lady of Scotland, the tale and the fact will be itieutical. In the case of JOHN WILLIAMSON, tried at the Old Dailey in 106, before Lord Ea,zwenaoucirt, hie Lordship, in explaining the law on manslaughter, when death had been caused by medical treatment, stated the necessity of looking with an Indulgent eye on these failures in the practice of medicine, which must occa sionally happen, and thought that if medical men, pro perly instructed, used all due diligence, end exercised the best means they were [whitened of for the benefit of their patients, and failed in their endeavours, they ought cut to be called before a Court of Judicature to answer for their conduct ; but that if men exercise the profession of medicine without having duly qualified themselves by previous experience and study, and death ensues from their practice, they would be liable to prosecution for manslaughter, as having presumptuously undertaken an dike on which the life or 'death of an sneividual must depend, isithout having properly fitted themselves to exc• cute it. While in Belfast the Sovereign of that town visited the Siamese twine, and Was introduced to theni by a gentleman present. , The following dialogue ensued t..;— Cil.tNo—You are not a Sovereigp ; you are only nineteen shillings.

GUANO —Tell him not to be vexed ; we will give him two and make a guinea of him. The following • and regularly authenticated anecdote ought not to remain buried in oblivion. A gen tleman who held the cotnmission of First Lieutenant when his MAJIISTY sailed in the British navy us Midshipman, and Sir RICHARD KY.ATs held the name rank, became some years after by untoward events emba named in his circumstances. Ilia MaJetry meeting his old Lieutenant, then become Captain, and seeing him much dejected, in quired anxiously the cause, which wan, after much heel«. tation, communicated to him. HO was deeply hurt at see. ingan old shipmate in distress, and inquired if lie had sp. plied to a wealthy relative for hie assistance? The Cap.. tain 'told him he had, but was refused, and upon hearing which he sail, u I will solicit a loan of him for you." This lie did, and his Royal flightless was as unsuccessfld as his friend. Disappointed by the rich man's refusal, but determined to carry his point, he sent the Captain an invi• tation to breakfast, which being concluded, his Alin:9TV withdrew from the apartment, and slid not return, but he sent by hie secretary an apology to the Captain, and, in an envelope, a cheque upon his banker for 2,000/., which amount it was aubeevently discovered lie had borrowed for the purpose, having no money of his own then at comnimill. The Captain, delighted and surprised, hastened Royal fii ltg g h a7 .•; to discharge with this princ e ly considerati t ot: t th :ions incurred, and shortly wait e d upon bin tau with his must grateful acknowledgments, and a bond for the advance. Upon the latter being given to his MA.. larry,• he instantly destroyed it, saying, .11 cannot hold this instrument, Glottoz ; for I intended thia cheque as a present to your wife and children." AceiDENT AT THE LIVERPOOL AND MANeltaatalt' RAILWAY.---Ati erroneous' report having been circulated that Mr. STlePintwsoN, the Company's engineer, had been killed by an accident on the railway, we are enabled to contradict the statement, by gi v i ng t h e following particular* of the accident) by which a . person of the name t( grarltatiON unfortunat e ly log Ina life One of the locomotive engines being regularly at work on the railway near Liverpool, was proreeding along the embankment to the eastward of proad-green, where there is a temporary switch or crossing plate, to enuble the trams to pass from one aide of the railway to the other,— At this point some malicious person had chang e d and fastened one of the moveable tongues in the wrong direc tion, by which the engine was thrown off the rails, and Sieritensott, one of the contractors fur the road,. being on the engine at the time, imprudently jumped to the ground, and was run over by the loeded . waggons which followed, and killed on the spot.

By a Royal ordinance of the 96th August a com mission has been• formed to designate those indi viduals to whom rewards ought to be granted in con sequence of the numerous acts of heroism•shoWn during the three glorious days. This ordinance, in naming members 'of the commission of General Fabvier, Audry de Puyravenu, Georges Lafayette, Jaubert, and Martin, granted to each of the Poly technique, Law, and Schools of Medicine, the care of choosing a commissary from amougst the pupils, and to the Prefet de la Seine the choice of four citi zens of Paris. M. Odillon Barrot, by order of the 30th August, has taken advantage of that privilege, anti has named M. Lavocat, tanner, Lieutenant. Colonel of the 12th Legion ; M. Bastide, dealer in timber, Cannonier of the National Guard; M. Gui nerd, housekeeper's carrier, Captain on the staff of the National Guard; and M. Chevalier, merchant's clerk : this last Commissary represents the young commercial men, and was appointed by them at the recommentiation of the Prefet. The immense fell of the Neapolitan stock.in Paris was occasioned by a report of the stoppage of the house of Fa'cootie. On inquiry it . was found that the speculators, were duped. We have obtained the following information rela tive to the formation of corps of artillery in the National Guardx. There are to be four batteries of six pieces each. The superior officers, and a captain commanding, will be chosen from among the Aides de-Camp of the General-in-Chief. The two other Captains in command will be old officers of the Polytechnic School, and friends of Colonel Jdubert, who will be. Colonel. The sccofid captains will be all old pupils of the Polytechnic School. All who will be placed on pay are—the Adjutant-Major, the Adjutant suL.ollicers, and four or five men for each battery, who will have the constant duty of super intending the materiel and the insouction. The uni form is to be the arsine as that of the Artillery oldie Line, with the red collar and a white cult; the dis tinguishing sign of the Nattonal Guard. The com panies, which it is intended shall hereafter be com posed of 120 men,. will at first comprise only 60, ;n order to give an oppOtiunity for choosing none but men whose opinions are well known.

PERPIGNAN, AUG. 23. It iv without any foUndation that hostile prepare. •tions are stated to be making in Catalonia against France. It is' true that a small number of troops have been placed on the frontiers, and that a bat talion of the Royal, Guard is in the environs of Agnew, and commtinitiations with Catalonia are much restrained, if they area not entirdy'stopped; but all this 'done out of precaution, and not in consequence of the affairs in France. I repeat, it is (mix to be on the guard against any invasion on the part of the expatriated Spaniards, who may try to enter by force into their native country. It i. deeply felt.in , Catalonia at present, that violence would only cause fatal results. A wise and open amnesty would have been a measure of sound policy and an act of justice. • We understand that the rumour of Lafitte's having declined to receive the allowance or 100,000 f. attached to the office of President of the Chamber of Deputies, is unfounde& Such‘a renunciation on the part of M.

On being told the reason, the cook-meid of the house fancied she heard the Captain say, in a low tone, " Ca vast bien.ca pour rtnn roi de brigands ;" and she haying reported this to the postillion, who repeated it to the people, the Captain, who had walked tip the hill, was followed by a crowd, seized, conveyed to Corbeil, and accused before the Magistrate of an in s ult against the person of the King, his ,crown, and dignity, and of exciting hatred and contempt: against his Oovernment. He was committed, but i m mediately afterwards sat at libertten bail, Ile appeared before the tribunal of Correctional Police at Corbeil, a few days ago, when the Court, consi.„ dering the insufficiency ef the testirnony of the cook, the high reputation of the officer, who had fought with honour tinder the national colours at 'Marengo, Austerlitz, %ram, - Friedland, and Moscow, and his protestation of attachment to the present Go vernment, fully acquitted him. (From the Gazette de .France of Wednesday.) PARIS, AVG. 31, The following article is in the Journal of Rouen: The Liberals arc at the head of affairs ; we shell be able to appreciate their snob.

Igo, it is not this time that we shall see the savoir fair' of the Liberals, since by .e fatality which it is difficult to comprehend, there are only three men of, our party at the head of affairs, the King, Lafayette, an d Dupont de L'Eure. Of the high functionaries a great number are divided between the party of the Duke of ilordeeux and that of Napoleon 11.,and the latter, if matters were come to that point, would gain the advantage over others, whose partiliatlS would easily join those of the son of the Emperor, because he puts them in mind of ao ante chamber of a court of great lords, of the silence Of the press,and an Iron yoke. Besides, we should become an, Austrian province, and M. de Metternich would let ns enjny that sweet ll .rty which sometimes makes the people of Italy envy the charter of our bagnios.

Have- not Lafayette, by his loyal exclamation, Dilpont . de L'Eure by his entrance into the Ministry of Louis Philippe, declared dint the King of-the French was the. best of republics? But to invite thatform of government would be doing a service to our adversaries, if it were only bin.. fur nishing foreigners with a pretext to enter France, and if the courage of .our soldiers and our National Guards did not hinder it, to impose on us a good Prince, with good garrisons, &c. Oh, then, the band of Loyola would make the.echoes of the Chit-, 'caul repeat, `‘ What, did the Liberals do then, when they were in power ?" - ft is stated that the Duke of Orleans, accom-.

Yesterday, the city of Paris—brilliant as in the days of her most splendid festivals—beheld a mag nificent army pouring from her bosom. She knew that her National Guard hod organized gent uniforms appearing in all quarters,—the mur murs of a fervent enthusiasm,—the activity of cer tain species of workshops—ell announced the speefly production of a mighty poWer, amid the throes of a laborious birth. But who could have imagined that .on the 29th of August, within 15 days after their re-organization, 12 legions amounting to more than 50,000 men would have appeared in the Champ de Mars,all completely armed and equipped, march ing like disciplined veteran's? I was present at this grand scene, and can only compare it to that cele brated day of the federation of 1790, of which I was also a witness. The splendour of the great day of 1790 has been effaced. 1 struggle with the emo tions under the impression of which I still labour, in order to maintain a severe impartiality of judgment. More then2so,ooo spectators crowned the heights t hat surround the Champ de Mars, and beheld With equal pride andastonishment this sudden creation of liberty. At the extremity of this immense arena a military tent was raised for the use of the King; it was ele vated upon several steps, and decorated with forry eight standards, which the National Guard were about to receive from the hands of their new Monarch. These banners, which one moment floated around the King, and in the next were carried from the foot of the throne to the centre of each battalion, presented a sight the most delightful, and were re ceived with inexpressible transports of enthusiasm. The delegates of each battalion began to take the oath, which was afterwards to be repeated by their entire battalions. At this instant all the troops elevated their caps and chimes on the points of their bayonets, and this action produced an effect impo sible to be described. The Journals will furnish you with a number of details which I must omit; and you will find recorded in them the speeches of the King, which my distance from the spot did not allow me to hear, On the balcony of the Military School was observed a group dressed in deep mourning. This was the Queen, her sister, the eight children, and the Court. All hearts throbbed at the sight of this fine and distinguished family, and it was regretted that a recent calamity did not permit them to exhibit themselves in gala dresses. fhe King wore the uniform of the National Guard. end the Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honour. The review commenced at one o'clock in the after noon, and lasted six hours. Louis Philippe was received with uninterrupted acclamations by all the troops and the entire body of spectators. Never was the sympathy of a people with their Prince more unequivocally exhibited. It was no longer a monarch imposed upon France by foreigners, hut a King chosen by the nation The National Guard of Paris will a mount to 70,000 men before the 15th of September next, and the National Guards of the kingdom will ex ceed 100,000. Lyons can already number 25,000 men completely organized. Henceforth no citizen will be unarmed, and the country, bristling with steel, need. not fear either for the maintenance of the laws or the. preservation of independence. The death of Monsieur le Due de Bourbon, Prince de Conde, has created a strong sensation, The suicide of this Prince can only be accounted for on the supposition of a 'sudden aberration of in tellect. At an advanced age he enjoyed vigorous health ; his fortiine was considerable, and he was beloved anti respected by 'the public. The late political events did not seem to have affected him his good sense had enabled him to foresee the ca tastrophe, which did not surprise him. It is said, that being solicited by a lady, whom he honoured with a particular regard, to adopt measures of Tit trenchment and economy • in his household, he re luctantly determined to relinquish his bunting esta blishment. On retiring to retiring to reit upon Tuesday evening, he observed to shine of his people that be felt no vexation on his own account.; that he should never be unhappy in Con,equenee of the retrenchment, but that he was afflicted when he thought of the condition of : the .servants whom he had dismissed, and whose allowances were too small to satisfy their necessities. It is thought that this, idea worked upon his brain during the night and threw him into e state of excitement, which led to the fatal resolution that put un'end to his life. AL ; le Due d'Aurnale is said to be his heir. • There (las been presented to the Chamber a pro ject of a laW which re-open; the gates of the realm to the exiles of 1814., An article in it continues the, exile, of the Iluonaparte family. Thixarrangement has been occasioned by considerations too high for every body to appreenste.. Already complaints are uttered. Some require that there shall be no ex ceptions with respect to any class of exiles ; others merely demand the admission of women connected by blood or marriage with t h e f am il y o f N apo l eon . It isdesirable that at the present moment no discus. sion shall be excited in the Chamber on the subject. Desires for the presence of the Duke de Reichstadt will be culpable; they would be, rejected by the nation. No spirit has been manifested calling for a return to an order of things which never again can be renewed. EFFECTS OF TIIE PARIS NEWS AT ALGIERS. (From the National, Sept. 1.) The following is an extract of a letter written on the Ifith of August, in the road of Algiers, by an Officer of Marines on board the, vessel which was despatched from Toulon on the 6th, to. announce in . Africa the recent glorious events in. France 4 , On the morning of the 6th we got under weigh. We had, during the time we were donhling the large tower, to salute a small tri-coloured flag which bad just been raised on the Hotel de Villa of Tou lon. We imagined; that in addition to the very important despatches, of which we were the bearers to. Admiral Duperre, we should also have to an nounce the national flag to the African army ; but we were out in our calculations. Admiral Mar tinenco, who seemed undecided till then, determined that the white flag should be re-hoisted by all the vessels in the road. An exception was, however, made with respect to us, and we were permitted to do so in case of necessity, but in such a Mullet was: the order given, that we parted without knowing un der which flag we sailed. " We arrived in the roads of Algicis on the 1 Ith, at night. Our arrival Was looked for with inipa-: tience, for a merchant-vessel, which kit Marseilles in the first days of August, bad arrived before us, and excited a great sensation by a confused account' that a revolution had taken place in France, beceuse the- King had aboliihed the Charter; and that the tri-coloured flag was flying at Paris.

The Council lasted till day-light. It was soon follaiVed by another, composed of the principal officers of the army, but nothing transpired of what wits deter mined. in the morning, the new Marshal Publi shed a proclamation, relative to the reports which hSd been spread by the merchant vessel, in which he stated that be had been informed of strange reports baring been circulated amongst the a rm y ; that for his part he hail received no official intelligence; that es soon as he should receive any he would Ws 11° time in communicating it, but that, in the 0 11 0 1 '' time, he trusted. that every soldier would disChsote his duties with the same.odel ty as heretofore! that for his own part he would aletalys remain . flithfu l '. lo his oaths and to the fundamental law of the king" (horn.
