PARIS, Aua. 28. PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. The Paris papers continue to allude to the state of Italy, and to predict a speedy attempt at revolution. I find, however, that they have no other ground than the reported arrival of deputies from Italy, who have been instructed to ascertain the degree of support which the Italians might expect from France in the event of their making a simultaneous effort to throw off the Austrian yoke. That such deputies have arrived is, I believe, a fact, and some inquiries which they have made as to the practicability of obtaining a supply of arms, to be kept in depot at some place near the intended scene of action, have caused the report that matters are so far advanced in Italy as to have led to the purchase of 50,000 muskets for the patriots. Some persons suppose that the whole affair is a contrivance of the Austrian Government, to warrant another application for the immediate relinquishment by the French Government of their footing in part of Italy. The affair of Ancona, now ithstanding the attempt of Sebas tiani to convince the Emperor that it was in- tended to prevent rather than cause a rupture with him, has created a sore feeling, and little doubt can be entertained that, ere long, it will be made the subject of new and irritating diplo matic notes. When the occupation of Ancona was first announced to Talleyrand, he flew into a great rage, anti observed that he thought the French Government meant to show their teeth where they neither could nor would attempt to bite. At fir. the Government played a double game. The Austrian ambassador was told that tha whole affair was a mistake—that it had been undertaken during the illness of Sebastiani, at the suggestion of a M— De—s, a sort of chef de bureau, who possessed influence in a certain qurter--but that when Sebastiani should be able to resume the direction of foreign af fairs, he would set things right. At the same time, the Liberals were told that the Govern ment were merely humbugging the Austrian ambassador, and that La .leune France would soon have an opportunity of displaying its en thusiastic love of liberty on a classic soil. By and bye no more was said about mistake, but means were found to pacify the Aus trian Cabinet for a time, and the French Liberals were gulled into a belief that an early opportunity would be laid hold of to realize the promises which the Government had held out. That opportunity will never ar rive. The juste milieu Ministry merely affect the display of intervention, but they will never wield it as a weapon, if A ustria, Prussia, and Russia make a determined stand. As to Italy, the possession of Ancona by the French, far from acting as a rallying point to the Italians, has served to cement their bondage more closely. Rely on it, the Italians have had too severe a lesson in the base indifference of the French Government to the fate of their most virtuous patriots, to trust themselves in the hands of France, under the present system. There will be no revolution in Italy, for some time at least, because the Italians know that none but a re volution, having for its object the establishment of a federal republic, could succeed. All the reminiscences of Italy are republican. What have the Venetians, the Genoese, or even the Romans, in their histories, to the credit and renown of kings? Will Venice throw off the yoke of Austria, to gratify the ambition of some petty Italian prince, who on the slightest reverse would, to save his own miserable life, betray them again to the power from whose fetters they had escaped ? Will Genoa send forth her citi zens to fight for a Venetian, a Roman, or a Piedmontese sprig of royalty ? No ! when Italy revolts, it will be for a federal republic ; and will the Doctrinnaire Ministry of Louis Philip support such a revolt ? No ! they would join hand and heart with Austria to suppress it, for they know that if a republic was to be set tip in Italy, the French monarchy could not stand ? Are the Italians able to throw off the yoke of Austria, without the aid of France ? No ! Whilst the Government of Louis Philip, or rather the system of which he is now the head, exists, the Italians will not revolt. The French Ministerial journals contain very satisfactory accounts of the reception which the King has met with in the commencement of his tour. But what are Ministerial accounts ? Be sides, are public demonstrations in France just indications of public feeling ? If so, France was devoted to Charles the Tenth, for I saw the old dotard pass under triumphal arches, and heard loud shouts of" Vive le Rol." Pay no at tention to the surface. The evils of which the French (as a nation) complain are at the heart's rore, and although public functionaries may make a public display of their loyalty and timid tentiers cry " Vive le Roi" to a King, in whose reign they think they see a prospect of peace, and, above all, of the peaceful enjoyment of the interest which they derive from the public funds you may be assured that in proportion as educa tion extends, and it is extending itself rapidly, in France, the French will discover the means of obtaining liberty without anarchy, and the ad vantages of Republican institutions without re sorting to the turbulent and bloody measures by which changes have been hitherto brought about. The security of Louis Philip for the present is in the dread of a sanguinary revolution, and the consequent destruction of property and trade. 'rime will show that a revolution may be effected without blood, and the enjoyment of liberty be rendered compatible with the sacred possession of their just rights. There are sad complaints here among well-in formed Frenchmen of the decay of literature, and particularly of the decadence of the drama. The first is attributed to the number of cheap publications, b y which men of real talent have been driven out of the field—the booksellers having no encouragement to purchase copyrights, the co,t of which co u ld on l yecovered by a fair price being put upon the books,bOf the cheap publications, however, it is but just inf to . say, that i i n po tt le e l they are, for the greater part, creditable to the French nation than i r l : 7 s are m o t r o e us. They have their Magazine (a French Penny Magazine), and their the chief ~li i Panorama, in which pictures are attraction, it is true ; but, on the other hand, they have between forty and fifty penny publica tions, in which the Arts and Sciences, and do mestic and political economy, are well treated of ; and these are gradually finding their way all over France, so that in a few years the French pea santry will be as well-informed as they are now ianorant, and as libe ral in feeling as, nd from their past ° ignorance. they have been prejudiced, . a but tow frequently base. The Minister of In struction has, it is said, taken alarm at the an nureement of a new society for tire greater dif i'. Itivon of e cation among the lower orders; ir-,adin order :0 takei the instruction of the mass ,:iiile of the hands opuch men as Odillon Barrot ‘ lic. . and Lafayette, he -laits signified his intention of establishing 3 more general system of education. He is right so far for the interest of the Govern ment ; but if, as it is reported, he means to place the education of the youth of France in the hands of the priesthood, public opinion will be too strong for him to obtain success. The Govern ment have made themselves unpopular enough by the attempt to bastillize the city of Paris. If they attempt to give the clergy an influence in forming the minds of the people, they will as suredly fall. FRENCH PAPERS. (From Galignanr.s Messenger of Tuesday.) The Lausanne Gazette contains the following:--" A general assembly of all the communes of Basle country was held on the 19th inst. at Muttentz, to deliberate on the occupation of their territory by the Federal troops. At least 2,000 persons were gathered together, who came to an unanimous resolution that the soldiers should be treated with kindness for three days, but if they were not withdrawn at the expiration of that period, they should be driven out by force. An oath was taken to this effect. On the 19th the Federal troops had received no orders to concentrate themselves. The Augsburg Gazette of the 23d instant, has the fol lowing, dated Frontiers of Bohemia, Aug. 17 :—" No thing has transpired as to what passed at the conference between the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia at Tbereienstadt ; it is thought, however, that it related chiefly to the affairs of Germany. The general political relations of Europe will probably be the subject of another conference at Troppau, in the beginning of September, when it is confidently asserted that the Emperor of Russia will be present. Several Russian couriers from St. Petersburgh have lately passed through B-rlin and Dresden, on their way to Bohemia, where some Russian diplomatists of the first class are at present assembled." Extract of a letter of the 234 inst., from Frankfort on-the-Maine :—" Letters from the north affirm that the Emperor Nicholas is on the point of setting out for Bohemia. To-day our Senate held an extraordinary sitting, to discuss, as it is reported, a communication from the Diet, that it had thought proper to occupy the seat of the Federal Assembly by Federal troops ; conse quently the Austrian troops at Sacbenhausen will receive an augmentation of 1,000 men, and the town of Frank fort will be garrisoned by 1,000 Prussians. The Senate having no means of contending against this decision, finds itself limited to the consideration of the means of lodging the Federal troops, and has ordered the ancient Domini cian convent to be prepared for their reception." The Berlin State Gazette of the 21st instant, quotes Prussian Four per Cents. 97a 96i ; tiitto Five per Cents. (1822) English Loan, 1034 1034. The Nuremberg Correepondent of the 22d instant, mentions the departure of the Prince Co-Regent, and Prince John of Saxony, with their consorts, from Pillwitz for Prague. From the Piedmontese Gazette we learn that Pan caldi Paolo, a serjeant of artillery in the army of Savoy, has been sentenced by a courtmat tial, at Chambery, to be shot, for having, in concert with Ardoino, Tola, Vacca rezza, and Canale, attempted to exci.e an insurrection at Chambery, on the arrival of a band of refugees and other foreigners ; for not having revealed to his officers the plot which was communicated to him by Ardoino ; for having endeavoured to seduce his comrades, by distributing sedi tious writings amongst them ; and for having engaged with the persons above named, and held meetings with them, for the purpose of conspiring against the Govern ment. The execution of the sentence was suspended by the Governor, and afterwards commuted by the King into imprisonment, with hard labour, for 20 years. The last accounts from Greece announce the final eva cuation of that country by the French troops, after having occupied it for five years. The first embarkation took place on board the Marengo, on the Ith inst. She took in 590 men, and on the following day 450 men went on board the Hermione frigate (I ). The Suffren of the line, and the Artliemise frigate, were to sail about a week after with the rest of the brigade, consisting of about 2,140 men, 110 officers of all ranks, 19 officers' wives, and from 25 to 30 of the wives of the non-commis sioned officers and men. A part of the stores has been left for the Greek Government, which has paid for them about 300,000 francs; the remainder was put on board the several ships. The letters siy—" The conduct of the French during their stay in the Morea has been duly ap preciated by the sensible portion of the population of the country, and will be more generally acknowledged when they are gone; they spent a great deal of money, and ren dered other valuable benefits. They repaired the old roads, and made new ones; they leave behind them handsome barracks, erected by their engineers, besides many houses re-established, whole streets cleared and made habitable, fortresses repaired and strengthened, a bridge of boats over the Pamissus, and other great improvements, not the least of which has been the introduction of civilization. Their intervention has been benevolent and mild, and though they acted with severity at Argos, they were compelled to do so by the treachery and baseness of the Palicari, excited by the intrigues of the Russian party." The same acounts announce that the Regency has appointed the Bavarian Lieut.-Colonel de Schamlz to be Minister of War, and Inspector General of the Army. The Courtier de la Moselle states that the prohibition , of the Incendiaire was not the only cause of the recent disorderly proceedings at Metz, but that a principal cause of the popular discontent was the high price of bread. The M iyor of the tows, after having recalled his resolution against the forbidden piece, and issued a decree for lower ing the price of bread, thereby restoring tranquillity in the town, resigned his post. The People Souverain of Marseilles states, that for want of a sufficient number of National Guards willing to do duty, the post of the head-quarters of that corps was occupied on the 30th instant by the troops of the line. A Royal ordinance, dated yesterday, prescribes that the interim of the War Department, confided to Admiral de Rigny, Minister of the Marine, shall cease, and that Mar shal Suult shall resume the signature of his department. The Augsburg Gazette of the 24th inst., states that according to the last accounts from Alexandria received at Trieste, an expedition was fitting out for the Red Sea against a body of 800 Arabs, who availing themselves of the late conflict between Egypt and Turkey, seized several of the Viceroy's vessels at Macha and Djedda, and com mitted many depredations. It was thought that tt e Viceroy would take advantzge of this circumstance to bring into subjection a part, or even the whole of the province of Z-men. On the 21st June, the Prince returned to ATssandria from Cairo. The fleet was on the point of sailing for Tams. It was reported at Alexandria that the Viceroy would soon leave that town with a numerous suite, and some members of the diplomatic body for Candia. Queen Donna Maria and the Duchess of Braganza, with their suites, left Paris yesterday, and were to sleep last night at Rouen. This evening they will reach Havre, and reside at the Hotel de L'Amarante, which has been prepared for their reception. The Portuguese vessel that is to convey her Majesty to Lisbon had not arrived when the last accounts left Havre. It is said that if any cir cumstance should arise to retard the embarkation of the young Queen, she will take up her residence at the Chateau of Ea, belonging to the King. " We are assured," says the Courrier Francais, " that the rumour of a projected marriage between Queen Donna Maria and the Duke of Leuchtenberg is unfounded. The Duke, who is affectionately attached to his sister, the Duchess of Braganz L. will accompany her to Lisbon, but will afterwards visit Italy, and then return to Bavaria, to his mother, and the other members of his family." The Temps, in giving the following extract of a letter from Toulon of the 221 inst., observes that it is calculated to insure a belief that there is some foundation for the report of the intended marriage :—" A telegraphic dispatch reached Toulon at 10 this morning, enjoining all the military and naval authorities to exercise the utmost vigi lance, and take every possible measure for preventing the young Duke of Leuchtenberg, son of the late Prince Eugene, from landing on ihe French territory, in violation of the laws of 1816 and 1830, interdicting the entrance into France of all the members of the family the of Napoleon Great." The Indicuteur of Bordeaux contains a letter from a Portuguese, which explains in the following manner the cessations of the functions lately exercised by the Marquis of Palmella Dun Pedro not being able to accompany the expedition of the Duke of Terceira, intrusted to the Marquis de Palmella a part of the authority exercised by his Majesty, in the name of the Queen, giving him the ttpiordoerveigonufeleC,,stievailh,Geni p o g vernor, and authorising him provisiona ll y gs h A t it d ic e a e l la a r n e d th a ,e d m m e i e n l i v s e t s ra i t n iv f e av a n ff n a r ir n s fob Donna Maiia.

A school of mutual instruction, to be directed by a young Frenchman, named Epinal, will be very shortly established in the capital of the kingdom of Benin, in Africa, by order of the King of that country. M. St. Marc Girardin, who is going to visit the south of Germany, has engaged to observe in the course of his Journey the intermediate schools there, called Bergen Schule and Real Schule. These establi.hments, in which persons receive an education less tedious and less scientific than in our colleges, but more complete than in our primary schools, deserve the attention of a Govern ment which desires to give to all classes of citizens a degree of education suitable to their wants and to their vocation.—Gazette de France, dated Wednesday, Au gust 28. GERMAN PAPERS. FRANKFORT, AUG. 23.—A letter from Paris states that, on the 14th of this month, Duke Charles of Bruns wick was arrested in the Rue St. Honore, when he was coming out of the shop of a picture dealer, and sent to the prison of St. Pelagie. It is said that he was arrested for a debt of 50,000 francs, which the Duke has con tracted with a M. Estibou of Bourdeaux, for uniforms and military accoutrements made for his Royal Highness. DRESDEN, Auo. 18.—Yesterday his Royal Highness Prince John and his consort, and to-day the Prince Co-R-- gent and his consort, set out from Petersburg for Prague. DARMSTADT, Aua. 22.—M. V. Kopp, President of the Board of Finance, set out yesterday for Berlin. We lear❑ that the object of his journey certainly is the exchange of the ratifications of the Convention, regulating the tariff of customs concluded with Bavaria, Wurtemberg, Saxony, &c., and which is to take effect on the lit July, 1834. ERLANGEN, AUG. 16.—Several students were arrested here yesterday, and immediately sent to Munich. SPIRES, Aua. 21.—The Gazette of Spires says:— " Yesterday evening the unsold numbers of our last number were seized in our office, and at the Post-office, probably on account of the extracts which it contained of the speech of the Advocate Golsen in the Court of Assize. Among the papers which are ordered to be confiscated and prohibited are the last numble of the journal of the Circle, and number 157 of the Journal of the Upper and Lower Rhine, a paper published at Strasburg. LANDAU, AUG. 20.—The persons lately acquitted by the jury in the Court of Assize, but who are now to be tried by another tribunal, and on a different indictment, were moved from this city today, viz.—Drs. Siekenpfeif fer and Becker to Frankenthal, Drs. Wirth and Rost to Deux Pont, and Hockderfer to Kaiserslautern. FRANKFORT, AUG. 24.—The Vienna Gazette an nounces that Russia has renewed its commercial treaty with the Porte, and that orders have already been given by which Russia will furnish all the articles that are ne cessary for equipping and arming the Sultan's troops in the European fashion. It is affirmed that the Ulemas and the Mufti have interpreted the passage of the Koran, book 3, chap. 8, ver. 33, to mean that the now military organization is one of the things which the Mussulmens are bound to consider as an article of faith. The Porte has taken into its service a great number of foreign officers; the cavalry alone still retains its Asiatic character. It is affirmed that General Guilleminot will succeed Admiral Roussin as French ambassador at Constantinople. VIENNA, Aua. 19.—We learn by accounts from The renstadt, of the 15th inst., that their Imperial Majesties were to leave that town for Prague on the fallowing day. Five per Cent.

There are 700 prisoners in the House of Correction, in which there is no sign of cholera, and only two patients in the Infirmary.

Mr. Tooke, on Wednesday, entered a notice upon the Commons' books, that early next session he would bring in a Bill, for the better regulation of Chimney Sweepers, and their Apprentices, and for pre venting the employment of Infante folder the age a foertecn in climbing chimneys. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST SO, 1833. The King's speech at the close of a session is never so interesting as that delivered at its opening. In the latter every thing is to a certain extent fresh and new; in the former much is stale, flat, and unprofitable. Nevertheless there was something in the tone and emphasis with which his MAJESTY delivered parts of his speech yesterday which, to those whose good fortune it was to enjoy the honour of seeing and hearing our Sovereign, relieved it from the charge of dullness and want of interest which may be generally brought against farewell speeches. For the benefit of the many who of necessity were deprived of that honour, we' will attempt to describe the impression conveyed to our minds by the ceremony of yesterday. We may observe, at starting, that his MAJESTY'S voice was throughout clear and vigorous, and that the whole speech was read by him in that modu lated tone, and with those pauses, which ex press the anxiety of a reader to have every sentence clearly understood. The first place in which his MAJESTY appeared to us to use particular emphasis, was that in which he men tioned the having sent a Minister to the Court of Donna MARIA. The sentence seemed to be uttered with a feeling of pleasure, partly arising from the triumph of the young Queen, no doubt, but in a great degree from the down fall of the tyrant who had so gulled the different states of Europe, and almost personally insulted his late brother. If lowly men might venture to fathom the depth of royal thoughts, we should say that King WILLIAM having MIGUEL in his mind's eye, thus passingly addressed him, as he read the sentence, " There's a settler for you, you lubber !" The next sentence, the de livery of which struck us, was that relating to Turkey. When his MAJESTY said, " hostilities which had disturbed the peace of Turkey have been terminated, and you may be assured that my attention will be carefully di rected to any events which may affect the present state or future independence of that empire," he laid particular stress upon the words we have printed in italics. Agai❑ in the sentence which follows, respecting the Bank, his MAJESTY dwelt much on the word" important," when he mentioned that " important establishment." The sentence, " You may rest assured that there is no part of your labours which I regard with a deeper interest than that which tends, by well considered amendments of the law, to make justice easily accessible to all my subjects," may be taken as a kind of rap on the knuckles for the rejection of the Local Courts Bill by the House of Lords, and its insertion in the speech is a sufficient answer to those who have been pleased to dream lately that the LORD CHANCELLOR'S influence in the Cabinet has declined. We were again struck and offended by an absurdity that has often before annoyed us. We mean the form of the Royal Assent being in Norman French. The Normans do not appear in any country where they settled to have been in sufficient numbers to have imposed their language on the people of the countries they conquered, and why we should now retain the use of the barbarous and obsolete jargon they formed in the course of their wanderings passes our comprehension. There was, among other foreigners in the House of Lords, yesterday, one, apparently an Asiatic. We noticed that he watched all the proceedings with great curiosity and interest. Their open ing with a solemn form of prayer, the deep atten tion and decorum with which the prayer was listened to, the splendid (Tresses of the Peers, the KING'S state, the arrival of the Commons, the free interchange of thoughts which appeared to take place between the Monarch and the representatives of the people, must all have powerfully interested him. Whether his con cluding reflections could have been as flatter ing to us as his first, is a question which could not be solved much to our satisfaction. Surely the KING has the power of doing away with this antique absurdity, and causing his assent to be given to the Acts of the Legis lature in plain honest English. As one of the last curiosities we are for the present to be favoured with from the House of Commons, we have had sent to us a list of the notices of motions which now stand on the Order Book of the House for the next session of Parliament. They occupy no less than nine folio pages, and consist of a hundred and thirty : four notices, long and short. Upon an average, each of these must be worth one night's discussion ; but the greater part of them, if worth bringing forward at all, ought to result in the passing of Bills, an operation which would take up broken time, amounting in the whole to three days for each. Now, as Parliament has not had more than a hundred and forty-two sitting nights, even during the late toilsome and protracted session, it is evident that, to accomplish only the half of the projects here set down, and considered by their several 'proposers as of paramount import ance, would require our legislators to manu facture every hour at their disposal into a week. Conceit, selfishness, bigotry, faction, have all helped to make up the long list before us, and will all help, when the session comes round, to waste the public time, to fill the papers with vapouring speeches, and to delay or evade the settlement of questions vitally important to the national welfare. The evil has for some years been growing to a head, and our only con solation is that it will at length work its own cure by compelling the House of Commons to subdivide itself into regular departments, which shall each have in charge the perfecting of cer tain sets of measures. The business of the House would thus not only be better, but more quickly done. There is one check which it would perhaps be necessary to impose on the ignorant part of the House, viz. when prepared measures came to be submitted to the whole body of the Members, none should be allowed to vote who were not present at the opening of a measure by the Committee which had charge of it. But whatever principle of change be adopted, it is quite clear that the present system cannot go on, and due consideration be, at the same time, given to important public business. The German Papers, in an article dated Vienna, August 24, mention that Russia has renewed its commercial treaty with the Porte, and will furnish all the articles necessary for equipping and arming the SULTAN'S troops in the European fashion. The Vienna Gazette speaks of a report to the effect that the Ulemas and the Mufti have interpreted a certain important pas sage of the Koran, to mean that the new mili tary organization is one of the things which the Turks are bound to consider as an article of their faith. Truly the obsequious, time serving spirit of these priests is, and has been, notorious in all times and places. We are informed by a gentleman who has re cently visited the manufacturing districts in France, that at no time during the last twenty years has there been so great a demand for ma nufactured goods. In some instances the rise in the prices has been as high as 40 per cent., and in many 25, but these have already sub sided to an average of about 18 per cent. beyond the prices which the goods obtained previously to the sudden demand. It is not difficult to account for this favourable change, but it will be difficult for the people of this country to credit the extent of folly in the French Govern ment to which it has given birth. After the Revolution of the three days in Paris, and the accession of Louts PHILIP to the throne, commerce of every kind was at a stand. The merchants, alarmed at the pro spect of further commotion, and believing that the despotic powers would take part with CHARLES the Tenth, and make another at tempt upon the independence of the French, no longer speculated for the foreign markets, and even declined many of the orders which they received unless the realization was prompt and sure. The aristocracy, partly in the dread of spo liation, and the belief that they would want the means of purchasing the necessaries of life, suddenly gave up a great portion of the luxuries in which they had indulged ; and began to eco nomize from their incomes such sums as would in a foreign country, provide them with bread. Even the partisans of the new dynasty held back, for, knowing the fickleness of the people, they imagined that their turn to suffer would, soon arrive, and that they could not act more wisely than to provide against a storm. Where there is no confidence there can be little or no trade, and this must be particularly the case in France, where the welfare of the manufacturers depends in an especial degree on the prevalence of luxurious habits, and the fluctuations of a capricious taste. Three years having elapsed since the events which gave rise to so general a dread of the future having passed away, and no political calamity having occurred, confidence has revived, and the French people, to make amends for the past, (pour se dedonzmager des privations du passé) are now as profuse in their orders as they had been niggard during that time. They have now run to the opposite extreme. The merchant who would scarcely execute a good order, now orders himself on speculation. The manufacturer, who had set all his artists aside, now employs them freely on new designs, and makes extensive ventures on his own account. The aristocracy anxious to recover their position in society by a luxurious display, will now spend in one year the savings of three; and the middle classes, who had suf fered wrong by the g eneral want of confidence, finding themselve s benefitted by the sudden and purchase a want. Such is the s tate of things in France, and, as it in- g c h r e a a n t g e t , l e p i t pm a e t on e rse t the th e haa a t n r i t s ht t he o e c y rac', manufacturing classes most Glamour ous aga i n st a Govern eyin the event of di s tress, but rising a v m a r eer Govern ment bh in its favour, according as their poll- ---- 1,120 DAY AT 014 k O'CLOCK.
