PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE-. PARIS, SEPT. 7.—The news from Lyons arc very satisfactory. O►► the night of the arrival of the Duke of Ragusa the city vs-as illuminated. Hr iinitlediat ely-ordered away the loaded Bannon which the Swiss regiments placed before their barracks. The Doke of Wellington xvlll employ a great pnrCathe month of September in reviewing the 41itterent eorpi of the allied army in France. Lie will pals the remainder of the autumn at his chateau near Cambray. lie will probably return to Valk lo November, at the ovning of the Chatnlicr. Several pamphlets and articles in the journals hate Appeared for some weeks Oil the •subject of the elections. A pamphlet of M. Benjamio de Constant, entitled " Des Elections prochaines," has just been published. Another, by M. de Pratt, th e ardent advocate of the independence of colonies, will appear ter-morro , v. The objects which will occupy the Chambers in the approaching session will be first the budget. It is asserted publicly, that there i s a disposition to icerease • its amount to 1,500,000,000 of francs (which appears to me an exaggeration) ; and further, that a loan still more considerable than the last will be necessary. The next subject of discussion will be a law for a new mode of recruiting the army, a mode which will resemble the conscription, which, in fact, is al ready more or less established among all the great Powers of the Continent. Then a law on the organization of the Councils of Departments, Calamities and Districts Then the discussion o f th e law on th e liberty of the press. The ques tion will be principally, whether the two Censor ships on the Journals shall he suffered to continue —namely, that of the Minister of Police (NI. De c eze), and that of the Minister of Foreign Affairs d e : the next question will he, whether the offences of the press 6611 cont - 11 tie to be tried without a Jury. 'the Con cordat also will be an important object of de bate. This Treaty has already excited great uneasiness for the sale of the peoperty of the Clergy, for the liberty of the Galilean Church, and for the freedom of worship. It is demand- Vd Why the 13th article of the old Concor do, which confirms the sale of the property of the clergy, has not also been inserted in the new ? Why does the Pope himself speak of this import ant article., not in the new Concordat, but only in a separate Bull, which may he revoked according to circumstances by another Buil % Some days ago, the Administratian answered these objections in the Journals, but in a rummer vague and little sa tisfactory to the public. It is said, that even in the Cabinet Council, where measures are its con templation for the execution of th e Conc o rdat, vpinions are much divided, and g reat difficulty is found as to the inte n ts of presenting . the Concor dat to the public in its entire tenour. Hitherto • all printing of the new Concordat has been for bidden. It is, however, already much circulated, t;“ ie. ••••.e:.a ps• ;va rat oript 'l4e fullcming is the moat: - in which M. Benja min Constant, in his last pamphlet, lays open the clilfesent subjects with which the Chambers will be occupied in the approaching Session :—" I will not - speak of the duty of our Deputies to support the Government in its foreign negociations. En- 1 gagements are sacred : but there is a limit to de mands. They ought not to be swollen every day by iudividual pretensions, which at length will be come not less impossible to compute than to satisfy_ The guarantees which the charter has assured to us, the rights which it has recognized for us, wait for an actual substantial existence for certain laws of exceptions still weigh heavy on us. These law sof exception arc four in num ber, the suspension of individual liberty, the ar bitrary power exercised over theioulnals, the law on the presS, and the et cations of Prevotal Courts, I reckon the law on the press among the laws of exception, although it was proposed as a perma nent one; because it is evident, after a recent oc currence, and also after certain explanations in serted almost officially in the Moniteur, that this law has failed in its object, and that it must be entirely recast. 1 place also in this class the esta blishment of Prevotal Courts, although allowed by the Charter ; because these Courts are extra ordinary tribunals, and rest on the principle of laws of exception. Our deputies will examine if these laws can and ow4ht to be continued. Li berty of conscience, the most sacred of our in tellectual and moral properties, has been formally proclaimed. It is necessary that no doubt should be cast on these solemn proclamations." This last passage alludes to the new Concordat, and principally to the 10th article, which is as follows i—" His Most Catholic Majesty, wishing to give a new proof of his attachment to religion, will use, in convert with leis Finliness, all means in his power to remove as promptly as possible all obstacles to the good of' religion, and to the exe cution of the laws of the Church." As to the choice of Deputies, M. Benjamin Constant proceeds as follows :—" It is our wish that the citizens may be surrounded with pro tecting guarantees, that the press may be free, a nd writers legally responsible, that journals may relate facts such as they are, and that France may not become an island where what passes in Europe is unknown, and that Paris may not becoine ano ther island, where what passes in the provinces is unknown! Do we wish that the protecting forms of ordinary justice may resume their course ? let us seek faithful interpreters to express this desire : let us choose independent men. " Our Deputies will save the Liberty of the Press from the temporary laws which are destroy ing it. They will correct the permanent laws, in virtue of which all writers are eoudt fluted. They will inquire whether it is not necessary to deliver the Ministers from that supetintendence of the Journals which is imposed upon them, and which subjects thew to so much retile atten tion, and to so minute a responsibility,..... The chatter confirms, and the nation claims, in dividual liberty ; but the laws of detail, emanated from all . the Governments,and which bear a stain from their date, alone scent destined to facilitate its violation. It is fit tnat onr legislation stonhl in this respect cease to be contnsed and xJpfious, and that 'the agents who disregkrd. Otir rights should no longer have pecte . sCts or excitStt; Our penal code is a moonment of despotic rigoiir; and it is satistaci, ry for the friends of the Governinent to have i , ;n their power to attribute it ttS. an an tetior authority. But it is indispensable to revise that code the punishments of which are dispropor tionate to the crimes which distiibutcs death and prolongs imprisonment with a barbarous levity, and revives those absurd penalties, the effect of which to compel - the disgraced con victs to persevere in criminality, even they have expiated their fiffences by the chas tisemeot of the law. The institution of Jury, rendered subordinate to the choice of e fects, must lose its efficacy it its independency oe not better secure:l Happily the I'revotal Courts require a new sanction. 'l* he responsibility of the Ministers exists only in principle. The law which shall regulate the forms of that responsibility can not be too moderate, if it be wished that its exe cution should be practicable ; but it will finally terminate that confusion between the Ministerial and the Royal power which endangers the Mon archy and " No State can possess political life unless the rights of the ft actional parts of power be respect ed ; but to be respected, these rights must be de• feuded by the fractions themselves. The muni cipal system, which, by being combined with the necessary action - of the central power, is alone capable of enabling the inhabitants of modern Monarchies to enjoy the advantages of federalism, ought to be organized without delay." • I have just received at the Institute the pamphlet of the Abbe de Pradt, entitled, "A Letter to the Elecrors olParis." To give you an itletvof it, I will send you a qubtation of some passages.:—" All au thority most arise from delegation—that is to say, front a (recant! voluntary choice; having for its ob ject tire :interest of all, the greatest good of the whole society. The world then began by being put to the• vote, nod in principle nothing was recognized but the elected without a,,lmaster. Election is the root of all the Poweis which are exer cised among men." M. de Pradt — ends.his letter by saying, " At the epoch in which We live, with an authority so enlightened as the public is, there is no longer any attention bot for 'the general prin ciples and general intetests. Any other conduct would depart from right reason, which some days of combats that may yet await it will not prevent front fulfilling the destination which Heaven has appointed it—that of serving as the regulator of the universe.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday last, due this morn;o6, !iu••u not oomo to hand Our last accounts from► Canada state, that the oldest people do not remember a seEson in which there was such abund:int crops of all kinds of grain as in the present.

MONTREAL, AUG. 6.—The Franklin, 74, is still at anchor off Chester, and is not expected to sail so soon, her destination having been altered.— ( United States Gazette, Aug. 8.) We understand there are five steam-boats build ing on the St. Lawrence, to ply between Montreal and Quebec. It is altogether probable that this multiplication of steam-boats on the St. Lawrence will in a short time supersede ship navigation above Quebec. These boats carry 200 and 500 tons, and are uniformly freighted with nierchandize and produce. The present plan of oppressing the steam-boats on the North river will inevitably, if persisted in, compel the owners to carry freight as well 93 passengers, in order to meet their ex peaces. The inj‘iry tiiat such an arrangemkot would inflict upon the owners of our sloops is too apparent to require explanation.--(Albany 4rgus, Alig. 8) EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM GIBRALTAR', DATED AUGUST 21. " I have the pleasure to inforni yriti Of the safe a'rrival oft';:e Gulfino off this port last night, from Bahia. She was boarded off the island by a pri vAit,er of 18 gtoiS lOW 180 inelt, from Buenos Ayres, out 43 dayt, and which put on board 19 Spauiiird3 belonging to the Cerokt, front llavannali to ivbiela the insui-getifs Bad teptured." Our defence of 6overnmeni against tbe charge of The British Press, ttuit it had prosecuted iri nocence, has drawn a heavy accusation upon our selves, which seems to be conveyed under the in sidious shape of a cothpliment. The Press, speak ing of The Courier, says, that it has " veered through all the points of the political Compass," while, it adds, " nig SoN, ever title to Mini sters, has known no turning nor shadow Of change." We shall leave The Courier to defend it self, which, we doubt not, it is well able to do, ex cept observing that as it isuow under new Conduc tors, whether the charge be true or false, they ought nut to be held responsible for whatever may have happened before their connexion with that Paper. If The Press means to ascribe consistency to THE SUN, we feel proud of the truth - of the assertion ; but if it means to impute to it a slavish devo tion to Ministers, we disclaim the compliment. — It is well known that THS SUN Was instituted under the auspices and founded upon the prin ciples of the illustrious Statesman NITILLtam PITT, and so long as Ministers abide by those prin ciples Tna SUN will give them its humble but its firm support, and as there is abundant reason to believe that they will adhere to those principles, we shall remain cot diaily attached to them, and no longer. We are accused of follow ing the. steps of Mr, WnionAm, in deeming those who have escaped front the law ac quitted fawn. We were by no means great admirers of Mr. WYNDHAM's political conduct, however we might respect his private character, but we heartily agreed with him in the propriety of his designation at the period alluded to, nor have we any reluctance to apply the same designation to some of those who have been equally fortunate in their escape front legal pu nishment. But it is somewhat sorprizing that Ministers should be blamed for their lenity towards political Reformers by an Opposition Print, though that Print, we admit, is not inclined to the same daring . exces'ses, which brought upon the Persons alluded to the danger of punishment for their at tempts to subvert the Government of the Country. FEVER IN IRELAND. DUEL/N SEPT. 9.—There was a meeting of the Physicians of Dublin yesterday, at which the health of the metropolis became a subject of con sideration. The general report was, that Dublin itself does nest present more than the ordinary cases, of the common t ever at. the present period; that there have lately been found symptomS of the provincial disease an►ongst persons arrived fr um the country, who have been sent otl to the hos pitals ; but that nothing has yet appeared in the general health of the city calculated to excite apprehension.. Some of the Gentlemen who at tended, spoke of instances of very considerable illness, produced by mete alarm, which bad fallen under their observation. Many persons having only slight colds, or affections of the bead of stomach, have imagined themselvo delivered tip to the horrors of contagion. It was, of cour,e, the general impression, that all exaggerated state ments, and every thing having the slightest ten dency to produce illusions of this nature, should be carefully avoided. The Times of this (jay contains an article from Sheerness, which appeared in THE SUN of yes terday, and has staled it to have been taken from a " Kent Paper." We can assure our Rea , !ers that it came to us in manuscript from an old Cor respondent, and The Times Inuit have known that it appeared in no Paper but THE SUN. Ai we always acknowledge the sources when we derive original articles from other Public Prins, we are surprised that The Tithes should not do t Ire .same (at least on the present occasion), as it (10 , 2 s not seem in general to be in want fit . of iginal nuttier.
