FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, JULY s.—Connt Ruppin, and the Prince his son, dined yesterday / with the Icing at the 'Th 11 ill cries CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. S/TTI Toe 4ra JULY. ,I\l. FAARE 90se to• `make tio.! motion of which he had eivenThOtice. The liberty of the preSs, he said, presented an important qnestion ; which has been agitated in various countries, and which has always been decided-differently, according to titire and places. It was a question on which France had at all times adopted only such measures as were dictated by circumstances ; but sic had never - been called upon to discuss it in a true point of view till now, under the „Prince who happily verns us. It was he who proclaimed the liberty of ;he presS, on the very day of his glotious entry into his capital. It was he, who, in the. Bth article of the charter, has said.—" Frenchmen have a right to publish and print their opinions, - hile conforming to the laws which must repress the abuse of this liberty." • The question was, would it not be better to pre \ vent the evil, than to punish it after-eommission ? Ile acknowledged that it would be desirable to abolish the censorial power, that natnral enemy of freedom of thought and writing ; but dint was not possible,—it was only' neceAsary to set limits to the authority of, .the censors,: such was the only way of reconciling . the• rights of authors with the interests of the state, of religion, and of mo rals. The censorship, with proper, monitications, might be used, as physicians sometimes employ - poisons in the composition of their medicines. — I le must also strongly contend that printers should lie made responsible. Thus - only a -mound - could be raised against a torrent of worthless publica tions horn so many pamphleteers. He concluded with moving, that for the more ample discussion of the subject, it should be sent to a Committee, who may examine the subject in all its bearings. I.'Fame's Motion was unanimously taken into consideration, and sent to the- bureaux. - M. Dti - Aot,Atin moved, that a humble Address be presented to the King, requesting that his Mi nisters may forthwith place, under the eyes of the Chamber a picture of the state of the Kingdom, under all those views which interest the*Govern- Went and the general prosperity. This motion was taken into consideration by . the Chamber, and will be discussed in the bureaux. The printing of the speech was negatived by a small majority. / PARIS, JU_Y s.—By an Ordinance of his Ma- • jesty, the Decoration of the Legion of Honour will in futurebear on one side a head of our illus trious Henri, of glorionsmemory, with this exer gue, " Henri 4. Rio de France et de Navarre ; and on the other side Three Flewrs-de-Lys, with this inseription--L" Honneur et Patrie." HAMBURG-11, JUNE 20.—The commerce of this city is beginning to revive ; the fugitives u are re turning from. all quarters, - and the funds of the' . 13ank are daily augmenting. BRUSSELS, .11711 F. 30.—Her Impeeal Highness Duchess of Oldenburg]) arrived here this day at noon, attended by a numerous suite. She. is lodged at the-Lintel Leilevue. PARIS., JULY 4.—The Household of Monsieur is re-organizing : all those who formerly held em ployments therein are restored. Two English Papers of the 30th of June, state that, " according to letters from Palermo of the 27th of May, Murat means to surrender the king . dom of Naples - to its ancient Master, King Ferdi nand." The latest Italian Journals_, which gave Neapolitan intelligence to Bth of June, prove that* the,report is entirely unf i ounded. • The Moniteur contains a long Order of the Day, issued from the Ministry of 'War, -for the purpose of prescribing regulations respecting the prisoners of war 'returning to France, and more particular ly with a view to repress, by severe measures, any clamours amongst them in favour of Buonaparte. Under this Order also, no Officer is to be admitted into the re-formed Regiments, whoseprinciples are in opposition to tile universal opinion, and who shall not give some pledge of that noble and ar dent devotion which .every true.Froich ;oldies has always professed for his King. An article front Rome states; that one of the objects of the mission of Cardinal Gonsalvi to the Prince Regent is - as to treat on the atfairs of the Catholics of Ireland. WARSAW, JUNE 11.—The General of Division Dombrowski arrived here on the 7th. The prin cipal - object of his mission is to send into all the . departments of the Grand Duchy Officers for en listing the Polish soldiers found there. In . his Proclamation on this subject, we remark the fol lowing passage " The magnanimous Emperor Alexander has left their arms to the remainder of our army, and has permitted me to return - with them to our country. Not satisfied with this, he has even recognised the necessity of increasing the national force, and has ordered that all the Poles engaged in the late - . war, and even those made prisoners, shall participate in this' benefit." The Emperor Alexander has ordered the resto ration of their sequestrated estates to General Niesolowski, Prince Michael Radzivit, and six other Lithuanians, who were in the prisons of i'ranee.

DUTCH MAIL. ense bins before the Eternal, Tribunal, of having. ► profesSed the frightful system of Atheism ; for if he was an Atheist, it - was the fault of those infit mous Courtiers whose low. flatteries and wicked seductions had taught him to believe that there existed no Supernatural Power before whom he was to humble himself. They made a god of hint ; - and how could Napoleou possess Jbe humility of a true Christian ? I pray to God to forgive him for that excess of infatuation ; for I attest that he is. innocent uf all the follies and extravagancies which are said to be committed in his name. I declare, that during the time I reigned over France I employed all the ascendancy I had gained leover the mind of Napoleon, in endeavouring to restrain him from the numerous acts of injustice s‘, hich his Ministers adVised ,him to commit. F .often had the happiness to succeed. But could I myself be secure against their odious intrigues ? 1 was then carried away by the torrent—my pre sence became troublesome to the Emperor—my advice displeased him—and at last I the mis fortune and the disgrace of beholding mysclt for ever separated from a man whom I loved most of all others on earth; from one who was indebted to me for his glory and his elevation. Oh ! perfidious Courtiers, it is to you that France owes all hers misfortunes. The establishment of a durable dy nasty was the pretext for that cruel affront which I sulfated in being divorced ; but .experience suffi ciently proVes that it proceeded from other causes. " I swear before my God,S'aud the Royal Family of the Bourbons, that I am entilely innocent _of the death of the Duke D'Eughien. France, per haps, is already acquainted with the effNts which , I made to save that unfo?sunate Prince ; they were fruitless ; and that is one of the most afflict iug sorrows which I, shall carry with me to the grave. I wish that posterity may do justice to the pithy of my intentions. I venture to recom mend to the love of Frenchmen, try son Eugene, . and the Queen Hortense. Since the dreadful dis grace of their .Protector, they should have been every thing that was valuable to me, and the only consolation of ray declining years ; but God did not permit it : Eugene Napoleon stands with out reproach in. the eyes of his country and . the Bourbons. Loaded with honours and benefits by Napoleon, be was bound 6y gratitude to defend his cause ; as a military man he could not aban don his colours - ; as a Viceroy, he could not abandon the States entrusted to his -government. Alt ! if ever valour and heroism were able to gain for a warrior the esteem, of his country, what Frenchman deserves it more than my Son ! He has even forgot all the great interests of his glory, to direct his cares to the unhappy lot of his mother. Twenty times hag' he moistened with his tears my. dying eyelids ! 0 France, France ! it is on the very bed of death that Jose phine supplicates thee to esteem and cherish her Hortense and her Eugene. Although they were hostile-to the cause of thy legitimate Kings, they are still worthy of the Bourbons and of thee. Ali I if my regards 'could ever again be turned towards him whom I so much loved, whom Europe has so-much reason to detest ; if my! voice, now al most extinguished, could reach his ears, what bitter repentance would I not excite in his soul !—What tears would 1 make him shed ! He,should be afflict ed by my just reproaches ; the veil of error should no longer cover his eyes ; 1 would have pointed out to him the fate of that interesting Princess' to whom he had sacrificed me, and whom, in her turn, he made the victim of his cursed ambition ; I would have pointed out the fate of that dear child, that King of Rome, for whom he was-pre paring such glorious destinies. These representa tions must have shaken his resolution, and melted his heait: What do I say ? In his obscure re treat he suffers all the-tOrtures of so cruel a sepa ration—he experiences, in his turn, the miseries which suffered when he cast me away from his heart ! Is the loss of his crown his greatest mis fortune ? No ! no !—He is deprived of a wife- 7 -of a son—whom lie ought to adore. I forgive him, then, for all the agonies which he made me suffer, either intentionally or unintentionally—for all the calamities of which I have been personally the victim. I pray that the august Marie Louise may ask, on the part of her spouse, the pardon of those Sovereigns ,whom he-offended, and particularly of all France, which, until the moment of his fall, was ignorant of a great part of his faults. A laew day has begun to shine in France. Europe, 'at last, behblds the accomplishment of what she wished for during so many - years—a durable Peace. I implore God to protect the reign of the Limn-bons, and render it eternal as their, memory. Since he has permitted the dynasty of Napoleon to be for ever destroyed, it cannot be his will that France should be afflicted by new.dangers and new misfortunes. Blood has been too long shed. The Bourbons, as legitimate Sovereigns, resume their imprescriptible rights. My latest breath is em ployed in prayers for their happiness, and the,pro sperity of their people. " 1 have uniformly endeavoured to do some good. In this ; however, I claim no merit, fur I folloa ed bat the feelings of nature and the dic tates of my heart, in assisting the distressed ; if 1 fear daath, it is because it Must deprive me oflbe sweetest pleasures of life, by 'separating pie front my adopted children. " I bequeath the enjoyment of my property to the unfortunate families whose names will be given by my Steward to my beloved Hostense. She, in conjunction with my son, Eugene Napoleon, is entrusted with the care of discharging my debt to them. All the unhappy whom lam compelled to abandon are sacred pledges which I confide t their protection. 'J hey will cleVote themselves to this object so dear to my heart. They have just sworn it in my arms. 1 die happy I, " The Empress JOSEPHINE." SELF CRUCIFIXION. -- The Pqmphleteer, lately published, has exhibited to the world the most marvellous instance of religious enthusiasm ever Jet recorded. It is the narrative of a poor and ignornt man deliberately inflicting on himself the tortures of crucifixion, with a - cooluess, ingenuity, and courage, almost unparalleled in the annals of superstition. A Plate is prefixed to the Pamphlet, representing the unhappy man, as he contrived to exhibit himself to the view of the Venetian public. We rife(' war Roadors t• flat detailed particulars, We have just received French Papers of the 6th. In a Sitting of :he Deputies on the preceding (lay; the Ministers of the Crown, L'Abbe de "NIONTESQUIOU and Count de BLACAS, were introduced,. and after a long speech from the former, explanatory of his MAJESTY'S views of the subject, the Piqict of o Law respecting the• Liberty of the Press was pre sented to . the Chamber from - the Crown. It pro poses the exercise of .a previous censorship upon all works of less then thirty leaves, (those above that number to be published freely), and if two Censors are of opinion that they are inflamatory libels, or likely to disturb the public tranquillity, &c. they, are to be suppressed. A Commission of three Peers and three Deputies are to he annually appointed as a Court of Appeal ; and, if they so determine it, the order for suppressing a work may be abrogated. Journals and periodical nub lications cannot appear without authority from the KING. Clandestine Printing-houses shall be destroyed, and' their Proprietors punished by a fine of , 10,000 francs, and six months imprison ment. The law is to be re-considered at the end o► three years.' . The orhrr articles are more in detail, and there is nothing else of consequence in these Papers. We give some further Extracts from the French Papers received vesterrlay, but have no room for comment, further than to express OUT warmest ap probation of the motion relating to the Liberty of the Press. There is a curious Paper handing about, pur porting to be :JOSEPHINE'S Will. She appears :o have been a very humane and good-natured old Lady, who assumed the: Ernprese the Abbess might have • been a more appropriate title. The Establishment of the Princess of WALES came under consideration in the Commons last night, and, agreeably to her Royal Highness's request, as advised by FOLLY (vide Lord ELLEN BOROUGH'S Nomenclature), the annual allowance was fi)ked at 35,000/. instead of 50,000/. as ori ginally proposed and agreed to. There is a little vulgar proverb about throwing out a sprat to catch aherring.—The PRINCESS herself did not think of this—FoLLY did ; and the sprat, we apprehend, is as large as any herring that may be caught by it. The 0. P's. ,who spoke on this occasion, assert that they, honest men ! never thought of money, though they knew Parliament could interfere in no other way; they only wanted a reLognition that "the Princes; of WALES was under theprotectionof the House of Commons"—the whole House ! ! Wehad supposed that every subject in the Realm enjoyed this protection, without pledges, but these Wise acres knew better; and, in truth. some assur ance of the kind is necessary, for those who have Champions, like FOLLY, to take up their canse on any ground, and make even an " indignity" of fered to them a ground for',Parliamentary inter ference, as FOLLY has declared he will do ! On Monday, the 27th of June, we stated, with much regret, that the efforts of the traitorous Junta (in'treland), at whose misdeeds we had often expressed our indignation, had been too successful in sowing disaffection over several dis tricts in that troubled and unhappy land," andwe lament to observe, that the atrocious acts of these leagued miscreants ham now • become so fearfully and bloodily apparent, as to call for the most vigorous measures „on the part of the Government to repress and punish -them.— The Irish Papers are _ stained with details of outrages -and murders, which mark Ire land as the most depraved Country upon the face of the Earth. The Savages of the wildest Islands of the Southern Hemisphere, or the in terior of Africa, where the influence of a burn ing sun inflames the human passions to madness, furnish no parallel to the barbarities and hellish deeds perpetrated by these fiends. Are these the fruits of Catholicism If so, Heaven defend us from giving any further licence to its encroach- zueuts. • The rollowin 0 . are Os cmiten" of .e in GI Dutch s 1 ii vh ich arri v ed this ;doming :-- ba C ss ' a n ;l7r -I , r l‘ A l c' r E .
