RYE, Nov. 20. ro THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—The announcement in the public journals of Colonel De Lacey Evans, 'as a candidate for the city of Limerick, has created a considerable degree of surprise among the electors of this borough, particularly as the gallant gentleman has pledged himself to oppose to the ut most the disgraceful attempt of the !Tories of this neigh bourhood, under the mask of liberalism, to reduce it to its former state of degradation, namely, that of a family nomination borough. This surprise is very much increased by the public journals r epresenting him as .an advocate for the " repeal of the Union," the more so as he has re cently declared himself opposed to that measure, knowing as he does that his constituents, with every class of en lightened Englishmen, are entirely averse to it. That Ireland has suffered severely from a long course of Tory misrule no one can doubt, ; that her institutions have had the unhappy effect of degrading the moral and political character of the people is generally admitted ; but that a great change has already taken place, and that much greater changes are contemplated, even to a full measure of jus tice, is equally certain. The announcement, therefore, of any public man as a repealer and a candidate (or Irish re presentation, affords the best evidence that such public man is either totally ignorant of the best interests of the British nation, connected as she now is with France, taking the lead in the cause of civilization and public liberty, or that some personal motive is the ruling prin ciple, as that of political aggrandizement rendering the repeal mania of the Irish people the stepping.stone to popular power and influence.. The majority of the electors of Rye are decidedly friendly to the return of Colonel Evans to Parliament; but it is of infinitely greater importance that the independence of the borough should be preserved, than that his return should be secured at the risk of that independence. . _ The apparent attempt of the gallant gentleman to make assurance doubly sure, by having the choice of two con stituencies, if elected by each, must naturally lead to this conclusion, that Limerick, his native city, with 2,600 voters, will be preferred by him before Rye with its 400 voters, which will then possibly be sacrificed by becoming aeain the victim of Tory despotism. Under these circumstances, it is the imperative duty of Colonel Evan , to be candid and explicit, and to contradict the various rumours that are in circulation, that the inde pendent electors may either have more confidence in their present proceedings, and the more vigorously exert them .elves to repel the threatened invasion of their rights, or be placed in a situation fully prepared against any emergency, should he think proper to withdraw himself from them. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, AN ELECTOR. THE ELECTIONS. WESTMINSTER. . TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE. Waterloo-place, Nov. 20. Sir,—You will oblige me by laying before the gentle men of the committee t'..e enclosed letter, which you will be pleased afterwards to forward as directed. I am yours, most faithfully, D. L. EVANS. Waterloo-place, Nov. 20. My dear Sir Francis,—lf I had given you any just cause of grief none would regret it more poignantly than myself. lam not conscious of having done so. I was certainly net prepared for the tone of your letter. I should have answered it earlier were it not that a depu tation from Sir John Hobhouse's committee occupied me a considerable part of the morning in discussion of this con test. The public spirit and disinterestedness of those who some months past, have sought me as a candidate, cannot, I think, he unknown to you. I have acceded ; but in doing so, I see no propriety in the term " acqui escing in a plan to turn Hobhouse out of Westminster." If he should prove less desired in Westminster than I am, it will not be my fault. You desire to know who per suaded me? I answer, some of those who persuaded you and him, and to whom, I believe, you were both largely indebted for success. What public ad vantage, you ask, can be derived ? I answer, when all the institutions are to be re-modelled,—when now, for the first time, great relief to the people may he practicable, it seems to me of . high advantage that the weight and powerful influence belonging to the first I electoral body of the empire should be brought to the public aid, and, in full activity, should not be partly in abeyance, through one of its members being' shackled by Mi nisterial office, and incapable of unconditionally supporting timse measures of ...Max he himself was before the earnest advocate. You speak of Sir John's long and ar duous services, as if a contrast in that respect existed. I trut, however, that I, too, have served my country, and I hope with an equal zeal, and no less devotion. Of elo quence and literary attainment he is possessed. But of what value are those accomplishments if the popular cham pion subside into the comparatively silent ornament of a Treasury Bench ? You apprehend popular estimation's being brought into contempt. In my humble opinion this pre eminent city may fall into contempt, if, in order to faaour the views (however honourable) of individuals it shall cease to cause the unrestrained and undaunted ad eioeacy of those principles it has hitherto manintained so triumphantly and so much to the advantage of the nation. l3ot surely your distinguished colleague is well able to de fend as wed as to attack, and cannot need your broad shield's being thus extended before him. Your last pas aage, I am sorry to say, is not marked by much courtesy, but holding your character in the admiration and regard do, you will be privileged to say much of which I may only permit myself to complain. But in this last remark able passage you make the representation of Westminster matter of personal feeling—if not of personal right. I bought it was a matter of principle, and had hoped that the ie,ooo electors might be permitted to have some voice in the choice of your colleague. I remain most truly, yours, To Sir Francis Burdett, ALP., &c. D. L. EVANS. TOWER HAMLETS. A meeting of the friends and supporters of Mr. CLAY was held on Monday evening at the Fox Tavern, Paul street, in order to secure the return of that gentleman to patliament as a representative for the newly-enfranchised borough of the Tower Hamlets. The Chair was ably filled by Mr. PURLAND, and there were present a very numerous and respectable body of the electors. After the . 0 , 4,03.1 preliminary business of the evening bad been dis posed of, Mr. Clay came forward and stated the grounds f apon which he offered himself to the notice of the new constituency. Although he, in common with many other persons, differed in opinion on some points with Mr. Hume, and though he had no personal knowledge of that gentleman, yet, when be considered the perseverance of Mr. Hume in the cause of the people, and in the care of the public purse, be thought it his duty to do every thing in his power to secure his return to Parliament, and be was happy to say, from what he knew of the county of ?Middlesex, he entertained no doubt of his success. With regard to himself (Mr. Clay), he was distinctly, unequivo• ieal:7, and conscientiously a Reformer; he was ready to give ;4; explicit answer to any elector as to his sentiments on any subject whatever. But Reform in Parliament was gaily a means. It was necessary that the electors should return representatives who were zealous, active, and prac tical. Ile would yield in those qualifications to no man. He would follow no man as a dependent, but be would march abreast of any man who should advance to the attack of corruption and oppression. It was most essen tial to the interests of a commercial district, like the Tower Hamlets, that a Member should be chosen who would support the trading and the shipping interests, and not allow them to be sacrificed to what were falsely assumed to be the interests of the agricultural aristocracy. He united to a commercial education and minute knowledge of the interests of the Tower Hamlets sufficient leisure to otkend to the duties of a Member of Parliament. The ,rlection would, in all probability, come on about the 10th pf wit wonth, and though he entertained no doubt what ever pf the c.ontest terminating in his successful return to the Howe of Commons, yet he must warn his friends by o means to relsix. The exertions of a few days would secure them the repose that they deserved ; but his labours wou ld ) in point of fact, commence from the time he should bare the honour of being their representative. The speech of Mr. Clay, of which we have mer e ly g i ven th e outline, was received with long and loud applause. LIVERPOOL. (From the Liverpool Albion.) Mr. Thornely having complied with the requisition to offer himself a candidate for the hon our of representing his native town in Parliament, the question, whether the Re formers or the pseudo conservatives preponderate in this great community, will be (gelded in the course of the en suing month. It was under the conviction that the deci sion, whenever it should take place, must be in favour of liberal principles, that we have, on more than one occa• sion, urged the Reformers to " place their all upon the hazard of the die." Our advice has been followed. Two or_ none ! is now their electioneering motto, as it is ours. Mr. Ewart and Mr. Thornely are both in the field, and their respective friends are exerting themselves to make their election sure. Of the return of Mr. Ewart we never had a doubt ; if, in a moment of despondency, we had ever entertained a doubt of his success, the results of the canvass of the last few days would have removed all our fears. The canvass has been most triumphant. With respect to Mr. Thornely's chance of success we did not, we candidly confess, entertain any very sanguine hopes at first. But the number and the respectability of the signa tures to the requisition presented to him—the decline of the prejudices which were so artfully and so disgracefully, yet so successfully, roused against him last year— the spirit and the union which the Reformers have exhibited within the last week—and, above all, the present unpopularity of Lord Sandon, who twelve months' ago was " the observed of all observers," — these circumstances Lave not only dissipated our fears, but I inspired us with the most sanguine hopes of the ultimate triumph of the popular cause. Mr. Thornely's friends, both personal and political, must, however, notwithstand ing the promising aspect of the electioneering horizon, use every exertion to insure success. Victory invariably fa vours those who woo her the most devotedly. The sup porters of the good cause must, therefore, be " up and doing." If even a candidate better qualified than Mr. Thornely should make his appearance on the stage, his advent would now be too late to permit us to entertain the slightest hope of success. Mr. Thornely would, were even a third liberal candidate to make his appearanse, re ceive a large number of votes; a number which, if it did not secure his own return, would, if the pseudo-conserva tives tried two men, endanger the return of both the other reform candidates. Under these circumstances, the friends of Mr. Evart and the friends of Mr. Thornely must ex ert themselves to render certain the triumph of both. Every step taken by Mr. Thornely's party to promote his election must, at the same time, promote the return of Mr. Ewart, while nine out of every ten taken by Mr. Ewart's party must promote the election of Mr. Theraely. Their cause is the same, and union is strength. MARLBOROUGH. The Marquis of Ailesbury is making every sort of effort to retain and continue the representation of this borough in his nomination. His candidates are his second son, Lord Ernest Bruce, just of age, and Mr. Henry B. Baring (the son of Mr. Henry Baring), the unsuccessful candi date for Canterbury in 1830, and at present the nominee for his uncle, Mr. Alexander Baring, for disfranchised Callington, and one of the most inveterate opponents of the Reform Bill. Mr. Henry B. Baring could not have insured more than 10 or 15 votes, in addition to the nine corporators, the old constituents, had not Lord Ailes bury at Lady-day last given to all his tenants notices to quit their houses at Michaelmas, and subsequently conti nued to hold such notices over the tenants' heads, and refusing to inform them whether they are to quit or con tinue their tenantries; and as soon as Mr. Iveson (the Marquis's steward) ascertains the tenant's intention that he will vote for Sir A. Mater, he is forthwith informed that he must leave his house. A poor shoemaker, Giles Prater, told the steward that he could not conscientiously vote for Mr. Baring, but would give one vote to his landlord's son, Lord Ernest, and the other to Sir A. Malet. In a few days afterwards he was told that he must turn out by virtue of the notice to quit. A Mr. Harding, a Methodist preacher and schoolmaster, was also told that he must turn out, because upon principle he said he could not vote (or either of Lord Aileshury's nominees. The way in which Mr. Baring's canvass has been con ducted surpasses perhaps any canvass that was ever made, even under the old system. He was accompanied by the nine corporators and the Marquis's steward, and as a sample of the manner of their solicitation or demand of votes, I will mention their call on a carpenter named Baverstock. The Steward—l bring Mr. Baring and Lord E. Bruce to you for your vote. Baverstock—l shall have no objection to vote for his Lordship, but not Mr. Baring. The Steward—Recollect, Baverstock, you are a tenant of Lord Ailesbury's, and your father and brother are te nants of his Lordship; and now, Sir, I ask you for your vote for Mr. Baring. Baverstock replied, if it must be so, it must. Lord Ernest and Mr. Baring have given two dinners to all the electors they could procure to attend, one on the 7th of August, and the other on the 16th instant. This is the indirect bribery to which Sir A. Malet alluded in giving his opinion on the ballot. I am happy to inform you, that Mr. Lucy has obtained snottier residence, and is just removed out of Lord Ailes bury's house. Mr. Gosling, the banker of the town, pur chased Mr. Lucy's new residence at a sum considerably above the value of it, expressly for Mr. Lucy's accom modation. VIOLENCE AGAINST BRITISH PRO- PERTY IN MADEIRA. MADEIRA, OCT. 11.--About six years ago a merchant built some most noble wine-stores anti granaries in rather a public situation, the one capable of containing 500 pipes of wine, the other of containing 5,000 quarters of grain, and left them, as such buildings generally are, with a mere rough coat of lime. A few days ago the Town Council, composed of a triennial judge, two or three lawyers with out practice; a person of small entailed property, the rents of all of which are under arrest for Crown debts ; a tailor, a mason, a blacksmith, and a barber, all annuals, determined they would have this building newly plastered and whitewashed, against Don Miguel's birth-day, the 26th instant, and this at the owner's expense, and on those conditions the work was put up at auction to the best bidder, on the 2d instant. The owner, not wishing his property to be destroyed, sent a man to bid for it, but the triennial Judge, who is President of the Council, called him and told him if he attempted to bid for it on account of the owner, he would immediately send him to th e black-hole--say, solitary confinement. The job was taken by one of the greatest vagabonds in the town, who had previously been in gaol for insulting the Consul's son, and it is supposed was let out on purpose to take this job. On the Sth inst. an inferior officer, named by the Town Council, a sort of superintendent of the butchers' and fish market, with jurisdiction over the sweeping and paving of the streets, went to the owner's counting-house, accompa nied by his writer• (for he can barely sign his name) and a rabble of about 500 people, and in the name of the Go vernor, but without his authority, it is supposed, demanded that the doors of the granaries, now full of grain, should be opened immediately, to let in from 12 to 15 masons, and as many labourers, in order to break through the walls to make scaff.lding, or otherwise they would forth with force open the door.. The owner, considering nei ther the building nor grain very secure in such hands, re fused to give up his keys or open his doors. The petty Magistrate then sent a message to the British Consul for his attendance. On his (the Consul's) arrival, and hear ing from this petty Magistrate that he purposed to break open this Englishman's granary doors, be advised him to give up the keys to prevent a disturbance by a rabble mob of about 500 people, which the owner did, and in rushed masons, labourers, and others, and immediately began to break through the walls, and to put out beams for the scaffolding, and in the midst of the grain this work of stone, lime, and sand is going on. The owner has made every effort through the Judge Conservador to get these people, who have the keys of his granaries and grain, removed, but without effect, as this judge has given nothing but the most evasive, irregular, and illegal answers to all petitions made to him, such as even in Portuguese law, note.l for its chicanery, was never heard of. It is supposed the Consul has not made any application either to the Judge Conservador or the Governor, in re gard to this act of violence committed in his presence, which to all here appears unaccountable, as the owner is his most particular friend here, and has been for years, land has been left in charge of, and managed, all his mer cantile and other affairs when he has been absent for two or three years successively, and was the only resident of any standing in the island who refused to sign the repre sentations sent to our Government against him in 1828, and the only person who dared, in the face of many of his influential countrymen, and of the local authorities, who were at that time both much against him, to get up any representation in his favour. On Sunday the congregation assembled in the Chnrch of Monastereven were thrown into a con,iderable degree of alarm in consequence of an express having ar rived for the assistance of the police, the house of JOHN FOSTER, Esq., of Ballykelley, about half a mi'e distant, having been attacked by a large party, well armed, who carried off three stand of arms, together with a large quan tity of ammunition. Mr. FOSTER, who was in church at the time, immediately departed, accompanied by all the police present; —many of the congregation followed. The Rev. Mr. M oonE, w b o was at t h e t i me i n th e vestry room, putti ng on hi s gown, having ascertained that no lives were lost, or other injury done, with the exception of the plunder of arms, &c., immediately ascended the pulpit, and before giving out his text be briefly addressed the con gregation, assuring them that they had no cause of alarm, as the police had merely left the church in pursuit of the insurgents. This had the effect of quieting the minds of the remaining part of the congregation. The neighbour hood of Monastereven is in a most disturbed state ;—this is the fifth plunder of arms which has taken place within a week, independent of other Whiteboy outrages of various kinds,—,Limerick Chronicle.

He has al lotted to every labourer a portion of land at a fair rent, sufficient to employ all his leisure time, with this condi tion annexed—that any one of them who shall be convicted of an offence against the game laws shall forfeit his land. The old keeper, HILLS, declares that from the time these allotments have been got into crop, and the men have tasted the fruits of the labour of their own hands, his of fice has been pretty near a sinecure. "If it were not for them Lunnuners what come down in gigs in September," he says, " I could easier preserve my Lord's manors with one helper or two than I used to do with a score. There cannot be a snare set in the parish, but there is a race among the men who shall be the first to come and tell me, and then the lucky fellow knows that be is sure of my good word when he wants any favour from our good steward, Mr. Baowx." Lord GRANTHAM having a great dislike to shutting up active young fellows in prison, like felons, or following the natural bent of their minds in the pursuit of the wild animals of the field, has another plan for keeping away loose fellows from the neighbouring parishes, who are out of the reach of the former and more excellent plan, which may be worth con sideration. his keepers are chosen for their strength and activity, well paid and well fed. Fire-arms are strictly forbidden them, but they are furnished with long sticks, one size less than a bludgeon. So armed, he calculates them to be more than a match for a half-starved poacher, and he authorizes them to give all such a good drubbing, and then let them go.—Lincoln Mercury. The sound of the hammer, the hatchet, and the saw, never ceases at Plymouth dock-yard, in which the workmen are not allowed a moment's respite from morning to night. The artisans work double tides, that is, they perform two days' labour in one ; and even the Sabbath shines no holyday for them, for not only is the night made joint labour with the day, but Sunday, no longer divided from the week, has ceased to be a day of rest in Plymouth dock-yard. The same extraordinary activity prevails at Portsmouth and the other dock-yards, in which the finishing, fitting, and repairing of ships of war of every description, give dreadful note of prepara tion.—Dorset County Chronicle. DREADFUL TEMPEST AT ALsToN.--On the afternoon of Saturday se'nnight, about three o'clock, Alston and its vicinity was visited by one of the most tre mendous tempests of wind and rain from S.E. ever re membered. The storm continued till about ten o'clock in the evening, when it settled down to a calm, and became a fine clear night. During the storm Mr. WILLIAM BALM. BRIDGE, solicitor, Alston, had several trees torn up by the roots in a plantation near the town, and two young women had a narrow escape from being lost upon Hartside. They were crossing that boisterous Fell, and had ascended to near the top, when they were found by Mr. STONE, ro al-sur vevor, in quite an exhausted condition. Mr. S. humanely alighted from his gig, and, having helped them into it, took them to the Shaw House, where he had them taken care of for the night. The same afternoon, Mrs. HANNAH MARTIN, of Redhugh, West Allendale, and her daughter, while crossing the Fell from Alston, where: within i t t he i y n hadless than attending a hiring, were ov ertaken b y the s torm, and both perished.

Extract of a letter of the 12th inst., from Nuremburg ; —" Count Pozzo di Borgo's absolutist journey has not succeeded, as he has not been able to induce the South of Germany to espouse the cause of Russia. After having failed in making certain arrangements at Vienna, he em ployed powerful efforts with our Court, and that of Wir temhurg, but with no better success. You may be as sured that Austria will not make common cause with the two Northern Cabinets in the affairs of Belgium. The whole of the South of Germany is interested in seeing the pretensions of Holland repelled ; and from its effects upon our commerce, this war will be popular in these countries. Bavaria, Wirtemburg, and Baden are equally opposed with Austria to the commercial system of Prussia, and you will shortly hear of movements at Hanau and the neighbouring towns, in resistance to its introduction. Austria is work ing secretly against it, and has charged the Hanoverian Minister to make representations to the Diet accordingly. Our town will make strong representations to the Court of Munich with the same view. All our wishes ate in fa vour of the French army, and we should not only rejoice at the defeat of King William, but are anxious to be de livered from the presumptuous pretensions of Prussia." The Berlin State Gazette of the 13th instant, brings intelligence from St. Petersburgh to November 3. Accord ing to accounts from Riga, considerable anxiety was felt there and in the adjoining provinces, by the farmers and graziers, from the scarcity of hay this year. One half of the last crop was left standing in consequence of the heavy rains. Prussian Four per Cents. were 92 913- ; ditto Five per Cents. (1822), English Loan, 102;1. A letter of the Bth instant, from Modena, says—" The decree of the Duke, issued in July last, authorizing the assassination of all persons suspected of being his enemies, has produced the most disastrous consequences, and has been used for purposes of private vengeance. An Italian, holding a Captain's commission in the service of Austria, in garrison at Modena, was in the habit of making frequent visits to a lady, residing at a short distance from the town, which were displeasing to the husband, who employed two men in the volunteer regiment of Estense to despatch him, which they effectually accomplished as he was re turning from the lady to the city. This murder, instead of being punished in pursuance of the demand of the Aus tiian Colonel, was rewarded by the Duke, under the pre tence that the Captain was a Liberal. Each of the assas•• sins received 270 f. from the Duke, and the Courtiers en couraged this atrocious conduct by making a collection for them. On Saturday last, a clerk of a merchant named Ferrari, on entering the theatre, had a dispute with the check-taker, who brutally threw him down the stairs, and the injuries he received from the fall were so severe that he died the next morning. The check-taker was prose cuted by the parents of the sufferer, but he escaped with impunity, on the ground that the young man was a Libe ral, and an enemy to the Duke." Letters from Rome of the 6th instant, announce that his Majesty the King of Naples was expected in that ca pital on the 19th, and that it was supposed that his nuptials with the Princess Caroline of Savoy would then be celebrated. A letter of the 10th instant from Nice announces the arrival, in that town, of the ex-Dey of Algiers, with a suite of only two persons, one of whom is his Secretary. A credit, to a large amount, has been opened to him at a banking•house, and it is believed to be his intention to fix his rsidence at Nice. The Indicateur of Bordeaux, of the 16th instant, gives in a supplement, the following details of the arrival of the Duchess of Berry at Blaye :—" Yesterday afternoon, at 5 o'clock, the coasting pilots descried the steamer Le Bordelais, which had joined the Capricieuse brig, near Verdon, at 11 in the morning. The news immediately spread over the town of Blaye, and crowds proceeded to wards the port, in spite of the rain. The autorities of the town, headed by the Lieutenant-General, took a boat and went on board the vessel which conveyed the Duchess, Mademoiselle de Kersabiec, and M. de Menars. During that time the battalion of the 48th left the citadel, and the men were stationed in a line from the landing-place in the port to the citadel. The soldiers were ordered to maintain the most profound silence. Towards half-past six the Bordelais arrived. A coach and-four was in readiness fir the prisoners ; part of the National Guards were under arms, and all the officers, in full dress, were placed in front of thecarriage. The Lieut.- General, the Sub Prefect, an Aide-de-Camp of Marshal Soult, M. Delort, the officers of the Engineer Corps, and of the Navy, went on board the steamer to conduct the Duchess on shore; she appeared greatly affected, although she was very cheerful at first. In reply to some words from the Lieutenant-General, which we could not ascer tain, she said, " General, as formerly, I flatter myself that you will do your duty." The captive Princess then stepped into the boat, and landed in the port. M. Janin offered her his aim, which she accepted with much grace. The Sub-Prefect of Blaye conducted Mdlle. de Kersabiec, and M. de Menars followed behind. The Duchess wore a plain brown dress, a small violet-coloured velvet bonnet, and a green cloak ; Mdlle. de Kersabiec was also dressed very plain ; M. de Menars wore the coat lie had on in his biding-place at Nantes, which is burnt at the bottom. About twenty paces from the landing-place the Duchess stepped into the carriage with her companions, and asked for a little bag, in which was the portrait of the Duke of Bordeaux. This having been given to her, the car riage started, followed by the National Guards, the troops of the line, and the gendarmes ; in front of the carriage which was lighted by torches, were the Lieutenant- General, M. Lecacheux, his Aide-de-Camp and the Sub- Prefect; and behind it M. Joly, Commissary of Police, the Colonel of the Gendarmerie of Angers, the Colonel of the National Guards of Nantes, M. Polo, Deputy-Major, an officer of artillery, and several officers of the Capri cieuse. In this order the cortege proceeded in profound silence towards the cidadel, and entered by the Porte Dau phine, the drawbridge of which was let down immediately. The Duchess, on her arrival, found a bath ready for her. One hour after the authorities proceeded to the house of the Sub-Prefect, who had invited them to dinner. To morrow the Lieutenant-General will return to Bordeaux. It is generally reported, that during the voyage the Duchess preserved her cheerfulness ❑ntil the moment of her quitting the Capricieuse to go on board the Borde lais, which she recognised as having received her on board on a former and different occasions. Oa leaving the brig she made a present of I,ooof. to the sailors of that vessel. The whole citadel wears a warlike aspect. A party of Artillerymen are expected from Bayonne. Five sentinels are placed round that part of the prison where the Duchess is confined. It is forbidden to approach the ramparts within thirty paces. Two armed boats are on the watch at the foot of the citadel." lett T er he ,o B f t r h e e to l n s , t t h if Nantes, o g tu ive o s n t h he following oardthesteuextut.rhaocat steam-boat the' Bordelais, giving an account of the passage of the Duchess 1 1 of Berry on board the Capricieuse:--" The passage was extremely disagreeable, the vessel having made but very little way.

She resigned her self to her lot, and did not utter a single complaint, but frequently expressed her thanks fir the attentions that were paid to her. During the passage the Duchess con versed frequently on politics, hut with great calmness and candour, even on points in which she was personally inte rested, and an equal degree of frankness was observed by those whose sentiments differed from hers. The manners of the Count de Menars are mild and amiable, but his political opinions are so fixed, that he would not advise Henry V. to accept the throne, if it was coupled with a condition ou tl n ia t t m t a l y te se n t at h io is na e m l in olo da u t rs should be rest,for the adopt ed,young Duke will never have an opportunity of deciding between the tri-coloured or white flag, for the grandson of Charles X. is now no more to France than a foreigner.

The Courrier de r Europe states that Dr. A.

Some one remarked that an Englishman was content only when he was in misfortune ; that a Scotch man was at home only when he was out ; and an Irish man at peace only when be was fighting. —Le Perroquet.

We have received the Paris morning Papers of Monday, and the Nouvelliste of Monday evening. We give from the latter an account of the opening of the Legislative Session, together with the speech delivered by the King on that occasion : A crowd assembled at an early hour in the neigh bourhood of the Chamber of Deputies. The doors were opened at 11 o'clock, immediately after which the tribunes were entirely filled. At two o'clock the firing of cannon announced the approach of the King. The deputations went out to meet him. The Queen, accompanied by her children and Madame Adelaide, came into the tribune which had been reserved for her. The King entered the Chamber immediately after. He wore the uniform of the National Guard, and was preceded by the grand deputations, and followed by a numerous staff. He was greeted by the cries of " Vive le Roi !" which burst ferth from every part of the Chamber. His Majesty uncovered and took his seat on the throne. He then said to the Peers and Deputies, " Gentlemen, be seated ;" and then covering himself again, delivered the following speech with a steady voice : " Gentlemen,—l am glad, after a long separation, again to have recourse to your wisdom and support. In the interval my Government has been exposed to serious trials. It has overcome them by its own strength; it has triumphed over factions. " Deceived by the generosity of our institutions, by our respect for the guarantees of public rights, they have mis. calculated the strength of a legal and moderate policy. In Paris, in the name of the republic—in the west, in the name of the counter-revolution—they have attacked by force of arms the established order. The attempts at republicanism, as well as counter revolution, have been quelled. " The days of the sth and 6th of June have made ma nifest the perversity and the imbecility of the friends of anarchy. They have made clear the danger of a policy which would temporize with subversive passions instead of crushing them in their birth. Constitutional monarchy has recognised its true friends and its true defenders in that generous population of Paris, in that intrepid National Guard, in that brave and faithful army who have so ener getically repulsed such attempts. " I have been very happy that my presence, by encou raging good citizens, has hastened to put down sedition. " It has been seen what force a constitutional King may find in the support of the nation when compelled to have recourse to arms to defend the crown which be has been called on to wear, and the institutions which he has sworn to maintain. " We have had to deplore in the west insurrections and odious crimes. The mass of the population have not taken any part in it ; and, wherever the rebellion has broken out, it has been speedily extinguished. Let, there fore, the culpable authors of civil war, who have so many times desolated those districts, lose all hope of a counter revolution, as impossible in my eyes as in yours ; for they find us unanimous to suppress it,—always faithful to our oaths, and ready to unite our destinies with those of the country. " A recent event, and decisive for the public peace, will destroy the last illusions of this party. " Gentlemen, at Paris, as in the west, my Government has been able to borrow from the existing laws all the energy compatible with justice. For like crimes like e pressios is necessary. In these critical days it was neces sary that the defenders of public order and of liberty should find in the firm resolution of the governing power the support which they demanded. " It will be your task to examine whether our legisla tive provisions do not require, in this respect, to be re vised and completed, and by what measures the safety of the State and the liberty of the subject may at once be guaranteed. " It is by persevering in this course of moderation and justice that we shall show ourselves faithful to the princi ples of our glorious revolution. This is the system which you have strengthened by your concurrence, and which has been sustained with so great constancy by the able and courageous Minister whose loss we deplore. Already the happy effects of this system are every where felt. " Within, confidence revives ; commerce and industry have resumed their course ; Providence has spread its treasures over our fields ; the scourge which so cruelly de solated us has gone from us ; and every thing promises us the prompt reparation of the evils by which we were afflicted. " Without, the pledges of national prosperity are not the less secure. " I have every reason to reckon en the pacific disposi tions of Foreign Powers, and on the assurances which I every day receive. "The intimate union which has been formed between France and Great Britain will be to both nations a fertile source of welfare and of strength, and to all Europe a new guarantee of peace. " One question alone might still have prolonged in Europe some uneasiness. Notwithstanding the efforts of my Government, the treaty of the 15th of November, 1831, which was to consummate the separation of Bel gium and Holland, remained unexecuted ; the means of conciliation seemed to be exhausted; the object was not obtained. I considered that such a state of things could not continue without compromising the dignity and interests of France. The moment was come to provide for the ex ecution of treaties, and to fulfil the engagements contracted towards Belgium. The King of Great Britain has par ticipated in my sentiments. Our two flags wave together at the mouths of the Scheldt; our army, whose disci pline and good spirit equal its valour, has arrived at this moment under the walls of Antwerp. My two sons are in its ranks. "In giving to the King of the Belgians my dear daughter, I have strengthened by a new tie the alliance of the two nations. The act which consecrated this solemn union will be laid before you. `• I have also given orders to my Ministers to commu nicate to you the treaty concluded on the 4th of July, 1831, between my Government and that of the United States of America. This transaction puts an end to the reciprocal claims of the two countries. " You will also be informed of the treaty by which Prince Otho of Bavaria is called to the throne of Greece. I shall have to request of you the means of guaranteeing efficiently with my allies, an indispensable loan for the consolidation of a new ewe founded by our care and our assistance. " I request that our fundamental legislation may be promptly completed. The laws announced by the 69th article of the Charter will be presented to you in the course of this session. You will have to deliberate on the re sponsibility of Ministers, on the departmental and muni cipal administrations, on the organization of public in struction, and on the condition of officers. " Several other laws of less political importance, but of great interest to the affairs of the country, will be also presented to you. . 6 I regret that I am not able at present to propose to you any reduction of the public charges : our duty to wards France, and the circumstances in which we are placed, impose on us still heavy sacrifices ; but the gene ral position of Europe permits us to anticipate their con clusion. The future appears to us under favourable auspices; credit is sustained and is strengthened, and in dubitable signs attest the progress of the national wealth. " A few efforts more, and the last traces of the anxieties inseparable from a great revolution will disappear. The feeling of stability will return to all minds; France will assume an entire confidence in the future; and then will be realised the most cherished of my wishes, that of seeing my country raise itself to the height of prosperity to which it has a right to aspire, and of my being able to say that my efforts have not been useless in the fulfilment of its destinies." (From the Times Private Correspondent.) PARIS, MONDAY, 6 O'CLOCK, P.M . The procession to the Chamber of Deputies to day was .well-nigh becoming a tragic scene. The King, who was on horseback, was shot at with a pistol, by a man who was standing on the bridge called Le Pont Royale, over which the procession passed. The ball fortunately went over the King's head, and no one was injured by it. The man who fired the pistol appears to belong to the populace. He was immediately seized by the standers by, and has since been conveyed to the office of the Home Department, where he now remains. This inci dent has created a much greater sensation in Paris than the King's opening speech, which you will receive by this conveyance. The speech was received at the Bourse to-day just as the bell rang for the close of business, so that he funds have not been influenced by it. Z.

" The day, th' important day, Big with the fate of Guizot and of Thiers, has arrived. Not Heavily in clouds" but with the clearest atmosphere that can be conceived, and the temperature of the latter end of April—not pre senting crowds of haggard, famished ouvriers, pale stu dents, confederate compositors, and revolted cab-drivers, determined on achieving another revolution, but streets filled with pleased and pleasing spectators, who, without the least regard in the world for the political drama about to commence, seem resolved, in order to make up for the time lost lately in sadly thinking o'er the various ills which a tradeless, sickly, sombre season brought with it, to " Pay themselves with gazing on the show." This is my last poetical " quotatum" for the day. We have not a word of news, all being bottled up in the King's Speech, a single word of the contents of which has not yet transpired. All apprehensions of an emeute appear to have passed away. For this pleasing impression we are indebted to the obvious precautions of Government, and to the very proper language of the Liberal Press, which, in thus preventing a revolt, will have again added to the glory which it acquired in producing the Revolution. The whole of the troops, forming the immense garrison of Paris, are consigned (confined within their barracks) fully equipped, furnished with ball cartridges, and ready to take the field. A large force of the National Guards, particu larly of the favourite (the 2d) Legion, is on foot, as are all the Police, Vidocq included. There will be, I trust, no disturbance, and thus will M. Thiers have, in another instance, departed from the system of his illustrious predecessor. The Boulevard des I:aliens, in front of Tortoni's, pre sents the appearance of St. James's-street the day before the " Derby day." Bands of stockjobbers, roues, and, gamblers block up the pathway, peculating and speculat ing. All are, however, at fault as yet ; for although the Bears look blue, it is not yet certain that the Bulls will not grow pale when the speech shall be read. The pre vailing expectation is that the speech will convey rather pacific assurances. The Ministers have achieved more triumph in election matters. Their candidates, MM. Joe. Perier and Pescatore, having been returned to the Cham ber, notwithstanding the exertions of the Liberaux. Paris is crowded with strangers; trade has become good ; and the weather, I repeat, is superb. The effects of these agremens upon the aspect of the funds is to be seen in the rise which has already taken place in their value-- that is, before the commencement of business on 'Change. We must wait, however, until three o'clock before we can form an opinion. HALF-PAST ONE. Since writing the above I have been informed that, not withstanding the tranquil appearance of things, the King will, in all probability, hear unpleasant cries on his way to the Chamber. There are, however, no fewer than 3,000 serjens de ville and other agents of the police on duty, in addition to the military force. I must, however proceed to witness the procession. HALF-PAST THREE. Paris and France have escaped a great crime. The can non of the invalids, at two o'clock, announced to the mul titude assembled to view the cortege, that the King had left the Palace of the Tuileries for the Chamber. You are aware that the Pont Royal is close to the Palace. The King was preceded by the Queen and Royal Family, by, perhaps, two minutes. His Majesty at length appeared (as usual, on horseback), preceded by an:escort, and suner rounded by his Staff. When he arrived at the angle formed by the bridge and the quay d'Orsay, a man in the crowd, which was of necessity confined to the flagged way, presented a pistol at him, took aim, and fired, but, fortunately, missed his mark. The assassin was, I need hardly say, easily secured, and the procession moved on. The King was, at first, shocked, but soon recovered his presence of mind. On arriving at the Chamber, the usual ceremonies were gone through, after which the King deli vered the speech (a copy of which I subjoin). To wards the close of it the incident to which I have just referred was noticed. The applause with which the previous part bad been received had been very ge neral, but unanimous cheering, and cries of Vice le .Roi/ burst forth from the assembly, on learning the atrociuus attempt that had been made on the King's life. The Queen burst into tears, as did other members of the Royal Family. The great business of the day over, the King returned to the Palace, in the same order observed on his progress to the Chamber. I was at the gate of the Tuileries on his arrival, and can assure you the cheering with which he was received was pretty nearly general. He appeared firm, and returned the people's applause with warmth. His Majesty had not long reached the chateau when the entire of the Members of the Chamber of Deputies arrived 10 procession (walking three and three), in order to deliver an address of congratulation, to which they had ottani. mously agreed, the moment after he had left the Chamber. The attempt at regicide thus briefly and hastily alluded to, will change probably the fate with which Ministers were menaced. Had the assassin escaped, no evidence would have been deemed sufficiently strong to acquit them' of having prepared it. When the news reached the Bourse a fall of a quarter per cent. took place ; but prices rallied, and at the close were found to have fallen 15 centimes only, as compare d , with those of Saturday. The omission of all mention 0 ' the project for disposing of the Duchess of Berry in the speech was soundly discreet. The implied contrast oh servable in the manner in which he dwelt upon the alit' ante of England has produced very serious fears. In the hurry in which I am obliged to write I neces sarily omit many particulars respecting the precaup recaution adopted to secure tranquillity. They were well conceived, but will not now require to be resorted to. THE DUCHESS OF BERRY. LETTER FROM M.

Madame supposed that a general war was about t o break out. She recotleeted that Louis XVIII. had the misfortune to return to his kingdom, not by foreign Pow ere, but with them ; but at that time our beautif u l coun try was occupied by foreign Powers. Madame is aware how the recollectio of this hard necessity had weighed in the hearts of the Bourbons, and she wished, if Heave" would restore her son to the throne of his fathers,•tbat be should have a happier destiny. It was then that in the noble heart of the mother, she conceived the bold, the generous design of preserving France from a new invasions and to crown the lawful successor of the Kings of Fran ce by the aid of Frenchmen alone. Madame does not requ ire a defender. Who can judge her ?
