FRANCE.

PARIS. OCT. 29.

The Libert,l has received a first warning from the
Minister of the Interior on account of an article
signed by M. Duvernois, published on the 27th
inst. The article in question is declared to have
disparaged the policy of the government, and vio-
lentl attacked the constitutional institutions of
the country, thus inciting disobedience to the
laws.

The article in the Libcrts to which the above
telegram refers is headed " Where is the
enemy 1" and the reply which it gives
is that the enemy of France is not in Austria
or Russia, or Prussia, or England, or in America,
but in Paris. and that its name is " absence of
system." " Suppose," it says, "that Russia, Prussia,
England, and Austria, victorious over France,
held this language :—` You must repress liberty at
home, and you must have no alliances abroad.
Each year you must devote the largest portion of
your budget to unproductive expenses, and under
the constraint of laws which we shall dic-
tate to you, the increase of your population will
slacken whilst your expenses shall always be
on the increase. Such is our will.' Suppose
that the coalition held this language—where is tho
Frenchman who would not seize his gun and face
the enemy 7 Well, what a victorious coalition
' would not do, or rather would not dare
to do, France herself—France in posses-
sion of her destinies by means of universal
suffrage—has inflicted on herself." The article then
proceeds to show that the policy of France has
been guided by no principle, and it ends by re-
peating that " the bitterest enemy of France is
France herself."

PROCLAMATION OF THE KING
SAXONY.

DRESDEN, Ocr. 27.

The following proclamation of King John to the
Saxon people, issued at Teplitz yesterday, has just
been published here :
To my Saxons,—l return to-d►y among you after long
and painful separation, after a period filled with
important events. I know what you have suffered
and borne, and have felt with you to the very
bottom of my heart ; but I know also with what firm
fidelity you have adhered to your legitimate sovereign
amidst all your trials. This consciousness, next to trust
in God, formed my greatest comfort in the hours of tribu-
lation the inscrutable councils of Providence have sent
both to me and to you. It gives me fresh courage to re-
commence my heavy labours. I shall dedicate the days
God still gives me, with the old affection—grown still
warmer, if possible, by the many proofs of attach-
ment I have received— to healing the wounds of
the country, to advancing its prosperity, to exercising
right and justice, and to the prudent development of our
political institutions. I count herein upon the sup-
port of the representatives of the country, whom
I shall meet with my accustomed frankness and ancient
confidence. I shall adhere to the new alliance into
which I have now entered with the s►me fidelity I displayed
to the old Confederation, and shall do everything in my
power to render that alliance as advantageous as possible
to our own immediate country as well as the general
Fatherland. Kay the Almighty bless our common endea•
yours, and may Saxony remain, as hitherto, a land of
peace, order, industrious labour, education, morality, and
fear of God. JOHN.
