'PHUT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Whatever may have been the sentiment of most freemen attached to free institutions here and in France, withsregard to the exploits of M. de Polig• mu; and idescolleagnee, it was scarcely to be sup posed that these delinquents would be left altogether without such defence as the sympathy of friends and the ingenuity of advocates could ufford them. In the French Chamber, it appears that the majority on the first question against the ex-Ministers was 244, against 47. That question embraced no other point than whether the Ministers should or should not be impeached, in conformity with the report of the commission; and that there were 47 individuals professedly representing the French people, bold enough to exhibit themselves as voters for the ne gative of such a proposition, after the motives and objects of the ex-Ministers had been exposed—after, too, the lives of many thousand Frenchmen had been sacrificed in the execution of their atrocious poliCy,—is a proof at least of the confidence in their own free agency now enjoyed by all classes of Fretichmen. The speech of NI. Berryer in the Chamber of Deputies, which was given yesterday in a second edition of this journal, contained, we take for granted, the whole of the argument sup posed to be in any degree mainteinable against the impeachment of the Ministers. We have read that speech, and must be excused for stating broadly, that a more futile and feeble display of sophistry has seldom been presented to our notice. The whole objection of M. Berryer to the course pro posed by the Commission amounts to this,--that the inviolability of the King's person and the re sponsibility of Ministers being reciprocal and lest:- perable conditions, if one wee broken by the nation, the other perished with it ; that therefore the French people having chosen to make Charles X. answer able for the ordinances of July 2.5 in his own per son, and by the loss of his crown, the Ministers were thereby exonerated from the legal consequences of those guilty acts, and ought to he exempt from prosecution. This argument might do very well for a special pleader, who is conversant with naught but te c hnicalities. An epigram matic alternative, through which one class of any mixed band of conspirators, might, by suf fering, save their fellows from all the penal ties of a common crime, would, no doubt, be a convenient screen behind which future treasons might be hatched with a double chance of impunity. The French charter laid it down that the King's person was inviolable; but if the King was himself a ringleader in an attempt to destroy that Charter, —if he had, in fact, already consummated by his own hand the 'overthrow of that Charter on which his inviolability was founded,—what follows? Could he claim both advantages—absolute power, and a constitutional exemption froM punishment ? Extreme cases are not and cannot be contemplated by general laws. A King who makes war upon his people, dissolves all pre-existing compacts between them, and does, in truth, abdicate his constitutional crown, in the hope of snatching a crown the enjoyment of which shall, not be clogged by any restraints or cott &dons. He sets every thing life, and crown, and dynasty—on the same cast ; and if the dice be against 'him, is at the mercy of his conquerors. Now, nobody will affirm that the French, or any other petiple,ought to inflict the penalty of dethrone ment, even on a King who has acted towards them as an enemy, from vindictive feelings. The question ought to be governed by a far higher consideration namely, whether the national safety hereafter will be best consulted by retaining or rejecting an un pr and culprit monarch. Whatever may, have been the motives of the mob of Paris, we ap prebeed that the ground on which men of mere dis passionate and extensive views concurred in de elating the throne of France to be vacant, was a tossing conviction that neither Charles X. nor his son could ever be trusted with the liberties of the French'people. A King, brought op in the spirit of abselutOpower, ?sever can be an honest consti tutionel Sovereign, whether his name be Ferdinand or Charles., The expulsion, then, of the Bombon dynasty:was not a punishment, so much as an indis- Mnsable precaution. Arid on what nice ought the Ministers, who so wickedly co-operated with, or so feebly resisted the suggestions of the Ex-King's secret (probably ecclesiastical) advisers,--on what plea, we ask, ought they to be forgiven or chastised ? Beyond all question, without the slightest indtdgenee of either resentment or compassion towards them personally, but on a mere menisci] consideration of the evidence against them, and of what might be best for France. If the Ministers have been guilty of conspiring with the King the destruction of the public liberties, the fact of the chief con spirator having been disposed of ought •tart to ex misstate his vents. The chamber which prosecutes, and that which pronounces sentence, ought to be Kidded: simply • by the answer to, the qttestieo, whether the lasting Interests of the realm require that an example should be made of these men or notsas an admonition to future Ministers ? That, is the only question, considered as one of domestic policy ; and the disenerse of M. Berryer we hold to have been the parade of a practitioner in the habit of fencing the truth. A vindictive sentence, as we have often said, would perhaps be more gravely deprecated by us than by the loudest declaimers in behalf of " dignity" and " humanity;" but if calm reason should exact a lesson to future Mi nisters by affixing an austere punishment to any espe cial offenders, there is assuredly but little material of mitigation in the conduct of M. Papec and hie compeers. Among the hundreds of pamphlets with which the Press is teeming on this subject, one has fallen in our way, which we briefly udvert to as a proof of the party extravaguneies whi c h t h e French Chamber of Peers must have to encounter in the progress of its judicial proceedings. Some person, who protests that he is not a Frenchman has published three letters to the . Duke de Broglie, wherein he seems to insist, that as M. de Polignac bad not foreseen all the bloodshed about to be pro duced by his ordinances, he was not justly punishable for his share in them I—that as the Charter was rather obscure in some points, M. Polignac, &e. might very naturally have supposed it to be invalid iri all,—that Royal ordinances were just as good laws as any that mild have been passed by King and Chambers united ; and lastly, that if the Ministers shall be tried and punished, the great Powers of Europe will make common rause aguinat France,and find a pretext in that one deed, for exploding upon her their hitherto smothered vengeance, We are of , o pinion that France would be 'vise eneeavouring fairly to conciliate the goodwill of Europe; but if she takes advice from those who appeal directly to her fors, there is a risk of her losin tr the very be s edit proposed by her conceasion— .Tunes. We were almost certain that the absence of iti telligence from Brussels boded no goo d to the King of the Netherlands; but prepared as we were for his ultimate discomfiture, after he lintel been so ill-ad vised as to draw the sword against his own people, we yet could hardly have anticipated that the large force directed. against 'Mussels should have been so Komi mid so signally defeated. Our readers will find mass of information in our columns from various sotwees, relative to the events now taking piece in the Netherlands ; and though the truth cannot be exactly knoWn from them, yet we thin k it clear that the 'Bei - glens have been suecessful at every point.

The King of she Netherlands may not . he no evil-intentioned man; but he is evi- I dently a very weak man. Asa Constitutional King he ought not to have quibbled with the people about Ministerial' responsibility. What is a Constitutional Government, indeed, without Ministerial responsi ? His Ministers were mere creatures—so many clerks, whom he appointed or turned off without ceremony, and the people were thus deprived of all knowledge of their own affairs. lie used to chuckle at the advantage he .had over the . King of Eng land, in being his own Minister, and having every thin}; as much hii own way us if he were a Duke 'of Brunswick. He has now paid the penalty of his fully, for we hold it impossible for him ever more to become Sovereign of Bel gium. lied he known how to yield in time—had he admitted that the construction he put on the votes of the Belgian Notables was sn unfair one— that the nation was from the first hostile to art union with Holland---had he met the Belgians candidly, he might have reigned over Belgium as well as Holland, though the two countries were separate. Had he even pursued his system of delay, it is ten. to one that the Belgians would have been wearied out, and that want of employment and diminished earnings would have cooled the ardour of the working classes, and commercial embarrassment the middling classes.• But he became too impatient of the delay attendant on this system, and nothing less would serve him than reducing Brussels by force. This might have been successful had the discontent been confined to Brus sels. But the discontent is common to nearly four millions of warlike inhabitants—who, from the den sity of the population, can easily act on any given point ---and the utter destruction of the whole po pulation of Brussels would only have strengthened the opposition to the Royal authority, and given to it a fiercer and more determined character. What we anticipated has taken place. He has by this time found, that every Belgian slain is a victory over his own authority. The lesson will be useful. The King of the Netherlands may not have been the worst of the Kings of Europe, but he has, never theless, deceived his subjects; he has denied to them the knowledge of public affairs; he has stood out for practices irreconcilable with Constitutional Go-. vernment—such us issuing Cabinet Orders with the force of law; he has denied to his subjects Jury Trials; he has chosen to controul them in the exer cise of their just and lawful freedom. Having re fused to alter his conduct, he will be cashiered, and the attack on Brussels will cause him to be detested from one end of Belgium to the other. With re spect to other poWers, we hope they will not be so imprudent as to interfere with the Belgians in this warfare. If allowed to settle the affairs themselves all may be well—but if England and Prussia take part in the fray, adieu to all hope of preserving the peace of Europe. 'War in Europe at this time would every where lead to Revolution. But the know ledge of this will, we trust, impress the rulers with a desire'of peace. No man knows where the flames would stop. The people of this country—the in dustrious population—have no interest in the pre servation of those lie schemes of settlement of Europe, in the arrangement of which Lord Castle reagh and the Duke of Wellington acted so con spicuous a part. What is it to the people of Eng land whether Belgium be united to Holland or se parate from Holland ? The less we interfere with the Continent the better. Our Government has more on its hands at home and in our numerous Colonies than it can do justice to. The people of England will never forgive the Minister who hazards the safety of the couutry by any Continental interference. If Prussia, or Austria, or Russia, be foolish enough to interfere, let such power or powers be left to the con sequences of their folly. We repeat, that the people of Belgium would never have risen so generally as they have without some valid cause. Let not Eng lishmen rashly encourage any attempt to crush them. A twelvemonth ago it might have been possible to crush theca =- at present they aresafe.—Morn. ehron, The people of Paris seem disposed to teach a les son of humanity to legislators. The French Re volution was characterised by the beautiful union of moderation and power. In dashing aside the chains of a tyranny that existed only to trample upon public rights, the people, even in the fiercest exas peration of their passions, acknowledged . the in- Iloance of that beneficent spirit which has conse crated their triumph it) the eyes of all who have the interests of humanity at heart. That spirit was Mercy ! May she ever guide the Councils of a great nation, which, having just passed through the perils of a fearful crisis with splendour and strength, has new to reform and consolidate the institutions on which the freedom and prosperity, and, above all, the moral character of a country depend. Our great dramatic poet says, that " Mercy is enthroned in the hearts of Kingsf but the late events in France show that it is no less the glorious attribute of un heroic people ! Every incident which shows the progress that • humane principles are making in France forebodes well for the moral and political destinies of the world. So great a nation, in the centre of Europe, adopting merciful and enlightened principles of legislation, cannot fail to exercise a useful moral influence over the legislative proceed ings of Other nations. It was, therefore, with pc• culler pleasure we read in the letter of one of our Paris correspondents, on Monday la s t, that a vast concourse of people, who had assembled to render funeral honours to the memories of some of the vie tires of Bourbon tyranny, who, since " the Resto ration," perished by the guillotine, signed petitions to the Chambers, calling for the abolition of the punishment of. death. Our correspondent, after alluding to some intelligence and rumours of a sombre character, says—" On the other hand, we have the consolatory fact that, instead of having assembled on the Place de Grave yesterday, to invoke ven geance on the heads of the Ex-Ministers of Charles X, the clubs called " the Friends of Truth" and " the Friends of the People," after having honoured the memories of Dories, anti his comps ,nions, signed petitions to the Legislature, call ing • for the abolition of the punishment of dettth Thus with the examples of Royal vengeance before their eyes—with their feel ings, stimulated by the recollection of the san guinary deeds of Bourbon power—they rejected the, lesson of sanguinary revenge, and offered the homage of their supplications to mercy, and this at a time, too, when the Ministers, whose guilty ad vice to their infatuated Sovereign caused the create of Paris to be deluged with the blood of its citi , 2eno, are about to appear as criminals at the bar of public justice. Who could have supposed, a few years ago, that the question of the abolition of the punishment of death would be agitated in a country where the atrocious Law of Sacrilege was passed— a law only breathin the yrit of the darkest ages of sanguinary bar b arism We, who have beer, long endeavouring, to induce our Legislature to un dertake 'Ol rational and thorough amendment of our criminal- code—a code which, notwithstanding the boasted labours of reform of late years, is still the most sanguinary in Eerope—cannot but feel great satisfaction at finding that our principles, though hitherto rejected et home, are making progress among a people whom Englishmen never allowed to be on a level in point of morality or Christian ien (intent with themselves. It is true we went no further than to demand that men should not he put to death for forgery, or for any invasion of the rights of property unaccompanied by violence. The French' go a much greater 'length; they call for the aboli tion of the penalty of dea th in ,all eases whatever— and, if this ho an error, it is better to err on the side of mercy than of blood. Such errors bring neither disgrace on the memory nor, remorse on the con science. Contrast Sir Robert . Peel, with his . Forgery Bill list Session, with the friends of mercy at the Place de Greve I Recollect that Forgery Bill delivers,up to the executioner the, man who forges a one pound promissory note; and that the men in Pant, who called for the abolition of the punishment of death, were fresh from the 'graves of the, victims of pOlitical vengeance. Recoffect these thiogs,.and say whether the English Legislator or Ibt-Vranob citizen has given the nobler, example to mankind I.... Morning Ilcruld THE BOURBONS ON THEIR MARCH TO CHERBOURG. A curious pamphlet has been published at Paris, giving an account of the incidents which occurred in the " Royal Progress" of Charles X. from St. Cloud to Cherbourg, together with in teresting descriptions of the conduct, feelings, and situation of the whole Royal party : On their departure from Trianon they turned up the park of Versailles, and took the route to Ram bouillet, under the walls of St. Cyr. The pupils of the schools presented themselves; summoned to St. Cloud during the 29th, they excited admiration by their sentiments and excellent conduct. They made a tender of their services : the King wished them to remain, and returned thanks for their enthusiasm and devotion. The King entered Rambouillet at nine in the evening; up to eight o'clock his arrival had not been expected. The confusion caused by the en trance of the Court and suite, and by the arrange ments necessary for their accommodation, may be guessed at. The King's tent was pitched in the English gar dens that surround the chateau; the troops of the guard and the artillery occupied the park and the heights that command Rambouillet as far as the vil lage of Percy, wh►ch was occupied by the military. As I only wish to speak of matters entirely with in my own knowledge, I will say nothing of the rapid succession of events that occurred at Paris, and conducted the Duke of Orleans to the Lieu tenancy of the kingdom. The King's letter to that Prince, appointing him to that high situation, and the answer attributed to his Royal Highness, were the general topics of conversation in the chateau and hivonac4. It was said that the Duke had declared, that he undertook the important task assigned to him for the purpose of restoring tranquillity ; but that he did not desire to ascend the throne, which had never been an object of his ambition. The King, overwhelmed by the pressure of extraordinary misfortunes, abdicated without regret ; the Dauphin, deeply affected by the ingratitude of certain indivi . duals whom he Iced loaded with benefits, became inaccessible to all but pious sentiments, and l►id at the foot of the cross his right to the orown of France. From that moment the Duke of Bordeaux was re garded as King; but they did not solute him' with the title. His grandfather wished - him to 'earn the great revolution that had taken place from Baron Dames, his preceptor : the Baron, placing his royal pupil with the utmost respect and tender ness on his knee, spoke to him of the state of France, of the King's misfortunes, and of the sacri fice which he had made to calm and tranquillize his subjects : finally, he informed him that he was King, and that it now became his duty to labour incessantly in order to render himself a great and good Prince. The Duke of Bordeaux was pro foundly affected, and shedding a flood of tears, em braced his preceptor and demanded to see his grandfather. He passed the entire day without in dulging in his ordinary amusements; and as soon as he saw the King he threw himself into his arms, kissed his hands, which he moistened with tears, and listened with attention to the exhortations of his grandfather. The same evening, on the'eaptain of the guard and another officer presenting them selves to the King to receive his commands, he sent them to the Duke of Bordeaux.' On the day of the King's abdication, that Prince, followed by his family, visited nll the bivouacs. Ho was received as he had never been in his prosperity, for then a regard to etiquette and proper discipline prevented the manifestation of our feelings. Upon that day exclamations of " Vive k Rol . 1 " a thousand times repeated, and the uncontrollable expression of our emotion, presented to him a consolation in the midst of his misfortunes. For three days the march of events had proceeded with extraordinary rapidity. The revolution was consummated ; all the King's propositionsall his sacrifice►,--were made 24. hours too late. The last of all, that which had cost that unhappy family so many tears, the separation from the Duke of Bordeaux, was contemptuously rejected. Nothing remained except resit►nation to the decrees of Pro vidence. On the morning of the 3d of August the King refused to receive a deputation of Peers and De puties sent to him by the new Government. But, at seven o'clock that evening, a courier came in with despatches, announcing news the most un favourable, and the arrival of three Commissioners, Marshal Maison from the Chamber of Peers, M. de Schonen on the part of the Chamber of Deputies, and M. (Ninon Barret representing the National Guard. This deputation reached the advanced posts ut eight o'clock in the evening, and demanded whether it would be received with the colours which it carried. Having received an assurance that it should, it entered Rambouillet. On being introduced to the King, these gentle men represented to him the extent of the danger : they stated that 15,000 armed men, mounted in the aims and vultures of Puris, were advancing upon Itambouillet, in order to compel him to qiiit the kingdom; that they themselves were only a few hours before them, and that there was not a mo ment to be lost. The King had already perceived that all hope was lost, and that he must submit to the rigour of his destiny. The order for departure was issued at nine o'clock, and 10,000 men with arms in their hands, and still well-affected, set out under the auspices of three unarmed men, so com pletely had a great revolution altered the nature of things. , AUGUST 4.—The troops of the guard had followed the movement towards Maintenon. They remained in this town ; the King could only retain his four companies of body guards and two pieces of cannon. At nine o'clock in the morning. they set out towards Dreux ; the King found all the troops of the guard drawn up in order ; they lined the way, and offered him the last honours whieb it was in their power to bestow. The adieus of these brave soldiers were affecting;. several officers were observed to break their swords ; they surrounded the King's carriage, and swore never to serve any but him. The Colonels resigned their colours, and that fine guard ceased to exist. The Royal family frequently alighted from their carriages; the King and the Dauphin mounted on horseback, the' Princesses and the children went on foot. That day the Dauphiness, accompanied by' Madame de Saint-IVlaure, walked at least two leagues along with the column, talking to the Gerdes du Corps, and commending their enthusiasm and admirable discipline; they also conversed with the country people, who vvere far from re c ogn i zing the daughter of a line of Kings in a fem4leOmply dressed, covered with dust, and who asked for a glass of water to quench her thirst. In this. manner the Princess passed through two villages, in which but a few hours previously trees of liberty had been planted. These objects must haveexcited sorrowful recollections ; but the great soul of the heroine of misfortune was not cast down, and upon her noble forehead could only be read resignation to th e de crees of the Almighty. They arrived at Melleraixt, a considerable town : three companies of Guards bivouacked in the orchards, which wunld have been preferable to being in doors, if torrents of rain, which - fell during the night, had - not catised them to envy the humbleSt hut. The King lodged at M e ll eraut w i th M, de La . rokue, an old garde du corps. The house was too small to accommodate all the Royal family, The Duchess de Berri being very inconveniently lodged, P ussed several hours at the bivouac with Mademoi selle; and these two Princesses, seated upon the grass, employed themselves in making articles of dress of which they stood in need, not having pro vided thetnselves with them on their hasty departure from St. Cloud. We arrived at St. to, after a long journey, passing by' Thorigny, where are to be seen the 'inns of a flue chateau, belOugipg to the Prince du Monaco. His Majesty went to lodge at the prefectutc, the honours of which were done in a manner the most affecting by M. d'Estourmel, the Prefect, who had already bid adieu to his department. The Royal family was commodiously lodged in this house, but what heart-rending recollections must have oppressed the hearts of the Dauphin and Dauphiness, who had both made a journey to Cherbourg in 1828 and 1829. Then the crowd filled the air with shouts of joy and benediction; delight and happiness were depicted on the countenances of all, and the white flag waved every where. Now the same multitude, eager-but silent, with eyes disdainful or menacing, exhibiting an anxious curiosity which even great misfortunes did not always restrain within proper limits. Some cries, too (few it is true), were heard which strength ened the contrast ; but the prudence of the well-in tenSioned inhabitants, and of the authorities, re pressed them. The Dauphiness repeatedly ex claimed, " Ah, mon Dieu ! quelle difference !" Tears started from her eyes, which she presently raised to Heaven. We proceeded to Montebourg, a considerable village at a little distance from the sea; the inhabi tants were franker, or they felt more attachment to the Royal Family, than those of other villages on the route. Their curiosity was kind and respectful; they surrounded the carriage of the Duke de Bor deaux, offering up prayers for his safety, and begging to be permitted to kiss his hands; and several indi viduals exclaimed with tears, " We have been for bidden to display any marks of interest towards you : but no matter : long live the. Duke de Bor den; and may he return speedily." The King, on his arrivsl at Valognes, lodged with M. Dumenildot, a Norman gentleman, whose an cestors received King James in their chateau of Quenne Ville, near La Hogue, whence that Mo narch, standing upon the top of a tower, beheld the issue of a combat on which his crown depended. It was there that, observing the obstinacy of the battle, he exclaimed, " Cowie ils ac battent Lien, mes braves Anglais !" When the result of the battle of Waterloo was announced to the Duke de Berri at Most, he cried, with an air of interest, " Les Francais se sont ils lien baltus, an mains I" So powerful in a generous bosom is the love of country. • • • • • The King determined to rest at Cherbourg on the 16th. Repose was necessary to the men and horses; they profited by the opportunity to make those repairs which were most urgent in their boots and clothes, for, departing as they did in haste from St. Clotl,each had with him only what covered him. The 16th. This day of old, so solemn by reason of the vow of Louis X111.,--this day on which the King went in procession to Notre Dame with all the pomp of his Court, he passed shut up in a little town in Normandy, abandoned by his subjects, with only a small number of faithful servants around him; and the following day was to behold him quitting for the third time the hind of his birth. The companies of Gardes-du.Corps had retained their standards. The King declared he would re sume them. All the officers, and the 24. oldest Gerdes-du-Corps, forming a squadron, marching four deep, the trumpeters at their head, the four standards in the same line, proceeded in silence, sor row depicted on their countenances, towards the King's lodging. That Prince was su rroun d e d by the Royal Family, whose faces displayed the live liest sorrow, which, however, was no doubt diffe rently experienced. The King was deeply affected; the amphiness dissolved in tears; the Dauphin ap peared resigned; the Duchess of Berri was calm, as if she penetrated the future; the Duke de Bordeaux and Mademoiselle were concerned fur those whom they regarded. The King took the standards, embraced the offi cers who bore them, and said with the utmost emo tion, " I take back your standards, they are un stained; my grandson will restore them to you. I thank you for your devotion, for your fidelity, and your prudence. I shall never forget the proofs of attachment which you have exhibited to me and to my family. Adieu! May you be happy." He pre sented them his hand to kiss ; the Dauphiness and Madame followed his example; and this affecting scene was prolonged until the last adieu uttered by the King. _ _ _ The plated gendarmerie, a corps as fine and well disciplined, as it is devoted, also received the adieus of the King. fterwards, the unattached officers were admitted to the presence of his Majesty, whose heart must have been rent in twain. by emo tions so deep and long continued. i i M • • - The Royal Family alighted from their carriages, and passing along a plank covered with blue cloth, went- aboard the packet-boat Great Britain. The King embarked first; the Dauphin took the Duke of Ifordeaux by the hand; Madame de Gontant con ducted Mademoiselle; the Duchess of Berri gave her arm to M. de Charette, and the Deuphiness to M. de Larochejequelin. . The Prefect presented to his Majesty Captain Dumont-Durville, the commander of the vessel. He told the King he would carry him wherever he de sired. This he repeated several times. The King said he wished to go first to Spithead—to the Isle of Wight, opposite Portsmouth. • After having made the last adieus to some officers who had gone aboard, the Royal Family entered the cabin pre pared for them. Aboard the Great Britain. were the whole of the Royal Family, the Duke de Lux embourg, Captain of the Gardes de Service, the Duke of Ragusa, the governor, sub-governor, and sub-preeeptor of the Duke of Bordeaux, the Du chess of Gontant, and the private attendants of the Royal Family. In the Charles Carroll, which car ried a part of the supplies, Were the Duke Armand de Poligoac, Messrs. O'Higgerty, senior and junior, Madame de Bouille and her son, a sub-governor of the Duke de Bourdeaux, Messrs. de Choiseul, de Charette, and Larocliejaquelin. During the embarkation and preparations for de parture, a crowd of curio's, persons lined the mole : they were orderly, and nnexeltimation was heard.-- Messrs. the Commissioners took leave of the King, arid subsequently remained on the pier till the vessel, unfurling her sails, got under way, and cleared the It was thin a quarter pp a o s r t t , towed two . ; I D )y u a rin st g ea t in hi b s oa t t i . m e seven squadrons of Gardes du Corps were drawn up in order opposite the ships. Wheo. they bad got out of the 'harbour, the troops faced ;about, entered the tows), passed through it, and retired to Valorise. The multitude, which, no doubt, had been hitherto restrained by the respect which great misfortunes always inspire, and by the sight of an unhappy family compelled to abandon its country, became noisy and tumultuous. From some groups (we are anxious to say that they consisted principally of cabin-boys and youths, of from 12 to 14' years of age) we heard shonts of Vive la Libert6l" " Vive la Chute 1" " A has la cocarde blanche I" " A la, mer les Garde. du Corps!" The inhabitants took no part in these exclamations, which being despised by every body, called for no reply. The 12th and 61th regiments of Infantry, Which are in garrison . the town, were under orders. The soldiers 'were 'observed at -all the windows of the barrack, whiehls, in the inte rior of timber-yards; only a few skirtedoutzs o ts orabio_h favourable - -th e ' r oute ; their attitude was very officers were extremely polite.

" CHARLES." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW.STREET. A professional gentleman named Gibbons appeared yesterday, before Mr. HALLS, to complain of the conduct of the watermen at Waterloo-stairs, for having circulated statements to his disadvantage with reference to a charge of exacting more than the legal fare, and for abuse, which he preferred at this office some time ago, against a waterman named Williams, on whom a fine of 10s, was inflicted for the offence. Mr. HALLS observed that Mr. Gibbons would be fully justified in giving any waterman who insulted him in charge to a constable. Mr. Gibbons said that the difficulty of identifying these fellows fre quently defeated the Act of Parliament, which au thorised their being punished for abuse anti insolence towards their fares, and suggested that to obviate this difficulty they ought to be obliged to wear numbers. Mr. HALLS thought the suggestion u good one, and Mr. Gibbons therefore bowed and retired. GUILDHALL. Yesterday John Conner, a young fellow, who said he was an apprentice to a maOtine-maker in Long acre, was charged with breaking into a house in Goldsmith-street, Gough-square, occupied by a female named Keen, and attempting to rob the apart ments of one of the lodgers.—Committed. HATTON.GAR DEN. Yesterday Richard Dun ford, a journeyman butcher, was charged before Mr. LAING and Mr. ROGERS with assaulting a Mr. Philip Arnold, who stated that he and the defendant met at a public house in the Colonnade, and a trifling altercation having ensued, the defendant struck him a slight blow on the side of the head, but it didn't hurt him much, and he was unwilling to press the charge. The hesitation of the plaintiff to make the charge at all, as well as the labour he underwent to soften down the assault, was too apparent to escape the ob servation of the Magistrates ; and accordingly Mr. LAING, turning to the defendant, at once asked him —" How much money have you paid to the corn. plainant ?" " Ten shillings, your Worship," re plied the butcher. Mr. LUNG (to the .complainant)—Where are the 108., Sir ? produce them instantly. Complainant-- I havn't got it about me at present. Mr. Rooms asked Dumford what reply he wished to make to the charge?—Dumford stated that Ar nold owed him a small sum of money for some time, and whenever he asked it from him, he was met only by the most insulting language. This being repeated on the evening,of the assault, his feelings became irritated, and he struck him ; but he consi dered the assault was settled by the payment of the ten shillings. Mr. RO4ERS—You may think so, Sir, but as you have paid the defendant lOs. you shall pay the King twenty shillings. " And I believe," said Mr. LAING, addressing him self to the complainant, " that you took out this warrant solely for the purpose of extorting money from the defendant. I advise you to be more cau tious how you come here and apply for warrants in future, and then settle them out of the office." The complainant declared that the money had been forced upon him, and he was extremely unwilling to take it. The defendant paid a sovereign and was dis charged. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday George Weston, well known to the po lice as one of the !ciders of what is called " the swell mob," was placed at the bar, before Mr. ORRGORJE, charged with robbery at the doors of the Surrey Theatre. The prisoner was fully committed for trial, and the parties were bound over to prosecute. It was afterwards arranged that the prisoner should be brought up again next week, in case there were any other charges brought against him. LAMB Km .sT It EET. A young couple, whose honeymoon was barely in the wane, appeared before the Magistrate to detail their matrimonial grievances. The lady was about 18, exceedingly pretty and smartly,dresaed, and used a pair of sparkling black eyes in - darting looks of dis dain at her puny and somewhat sheepish-looking helpmate. The lady claimed the . privilege of her sex, and of first addressing the Magistrate, and with characteristic volubility op ene d a tirade ofinvective, in which she was ably supported by the female branches of the family. She said that her husband who was it journeyman painter and glazier, had com menced ill using her only five days utter the mar riage knot had been tied. Since then he had con tinued to beat one of the mildest (to use her own account) and most forbearing wives in existence. " Ask her how she got that tine bonnet and ribands, please your Worship," said the husband, angrily. The Magistrate put the question as desired, and elicited that she bud taken her husband's tools to the pawnbroker's to raise the " needful." "There," said the glazier, " that's only a part of her conduct. I comes home about nine o'clock from work, and when I wants my wife, she's gad ding about wherever she likes, and comes home at all hours. I haven't a button on my shirt, or a pair of stockings that isn't like a cabbage-net; and when I tell her to stay at home, and keep me tidy, she fetches her three sisters, and they all fall upon me, and whop me out of the house. She told me, only the other day, that, if I met her walking with a gen tleman, I was to go about my business, and take no notice at all about it." Mr. WALKER said this WBS a puzzling Case, as the faults appeared equally di v id e d. H e s h ou ld , how ever dismiss the warrant, cautioning the families on either side not to interfere, and, if• possible, for the parties to live together in harmony. UNION-HALL. PRIVATE THEATRICALS.-Fi ye young men, named Mlle, Goring, Miley,. King, and Bromley, were charged with performing ,a play in an unlicensed place. The defendants, on being placed at the bar, excited much amusement, each being dressed in the costume of the character he, played on the preceding night. A variety of theatrical dresses, together with helmets, swords, daggers, &c., were produced, all of which had fallen into the hands of the police. Mills, it appeared, who was by trade a glue-maker, took a barn in the neighbourhoed . of Mill-pond bridge, Rotherlsithe, where himself, the other de fendants, and a number of amateurs, were in the habit of performing. The neighbours, however, hav ing complained of the noise that was created, the police received instructioris to take the offenders into custody. Mills said he had given up his trade of glue-making for the sock and buskin, and he hoped soon to have an engagement at one of the Minors. Mr. CuAwn:its—What was the play last night i ) Mills—The play .was Blue Beard, which was to have been followed by the Devil to Pay, had not the police disturbed us. Mr. C l l.43llllMS—What character did you take in Blue Beard? Mills—Why, to tell your Worship the truth, I went out of my usual line, lest night, and played one of the legs of the Elephant in the piice.—(Laughter.) hlr. CHAMFAIS remarked that Mills, as manager, bad descended very much in playing so very low a part as the leg of an Elephant in his own theatre. Upon which Mills said they were obliged to make shift sometimes; but, added he, your Worship, I can play Richard, Othello, and all Mr. Kean's prin cipal characters, and I can immure your Worship that it would astonish you to hear the. applause 1 Meet with.—The Magistrate, however, ordered him to int! bail. Bromley, who played the fiddle in the thee , * wits also ordered to find sureties to keep the pest* ~: CLAPHAM PETTY SESSIONS. --; Yesterday Captain William Smith,. R. IC, lair brought before the Magistrates, JOHN RAYENIOO . and TtlostAs PUCKLE, Esqrs., upon wwarrint tabled against him by Williatn Edwards,. his cola! man, for an assault. Captain Smith is the same gentlemen wlioutt-- will be remembered, some time ago resided I. Etts , on-square, and who was tried and acquitted, d the Old Bailey, for committing a rape upon a fed** under very extraordinary circumstances, which, the time, created much interest. Since that period, the Captain has been residing on Clapham-commit . at the house of Mr. Chings, where he occupies On elegant suite of apartments. The Captain, it pears, still indulges in his extraordinary habits, and his servants, especially females, never continue in his set vice more than a fortnight, when they invs• riably are compelled to leave, for their persona safety ; and, in many instances, the Magiptrates hart been applied to, to recover their boxes, theCaPtoo tet h hho u gh n h g mei ta r ) n e hh f a u aid : give f e pe d bow: t ve o %envre eetko wee k s a l ih i gva c eec m dk:a u tba p iyns , rde i cah n te l i e opho s urs s ;o t n h dh ey osisnm eo emi te njor to his wishes.
