LONDON, MONDAY, Serum's!' 20,

We learn from our Paris Correspondent, that owing to
t r Ezeliange being shut up for sis weeks, as well as all
public places of resort, the merchants and stock-
brokers are compelled to assemble on the Boulevards, at
Ton:met's, and at the Celli du Nord. The confusion and
inconvenience arising out of this is extreme: To shut up
all places of amusement for so long aseason Is unreasonable
ereeel: ; but to shut up the Exchange also, and put an
fed, during the same long period, to all the pecuniary
tracsartions of mercantile agents, stockbrokers, fund-
hohlers, and the whole of that commercial class whose con-
cerns require them to be at all times in a state of prompt
art! pm:etual intercourse—it is really monstrous ! The
death of a Sovereign may surely be deplored without carry-
g its outward fortes to so revolting an excess. A respect
for decorum on such an occasion is always becoming, but
interference of the civil pores. to (sect it to an extent
this is most outrageous. The ordinary feelings of na-
t..:re en such an occasi.ou, if left to themselves, will always
Pre. in the channel : while so left they are sincere,
and they are rational ; but when constrained by the corn-
sr ands of °Mee to go so much beyond the point to which
ten:lron sense and the course of nature would carry them,
the whole becomes nothing less than a forced, and there-',
fore a farcical solemnity. No proceeding, besides, can be
rwre impolitic. You stifle in the people all those 'emi-
r:tett, of honest regret which they would otherwise cherish,
end you carry their feelings into an opposite direction by
the interests which you interfere with, and the privations
y4u create. Lours XVIII. has exchanged an earthly
ter a heavenly crown. Ile was a man with many virtues,
and we may safely J'ave his subjects to cherish his me-
rwry " Cest, en re monde, as.sez." To attempt to inocu-
late the sorrows of the Sepulchre upon the speculations of
tb' Stock Exchange, is a fully that smacks of insanity.
The people have rn sympathy to spare for an event that is
made to bring with it so much of pecuniary loss and per-
rental annoyance. There is no merchant or bourgeoLl in
Paris. that, however he may lament the death of the Kt NO,
wia nut latr.ent still more that it should be made to inter-
free with the despatch of business. The commerce of
Pearce, moreover, wants at this moment all the aid and
all the activity that can beg:ven to it. If its present rulers
carnot wsist it by their wisdom, they should, at least, not
embarrass it by their folly.

1111011 OUR COIIIIPONDENT.I

PARIS, SEPT. 14.

3IAJESTY LOUIS Tier. EIG/ITEENTII is co moor. On
this tryst important event I shall at this moment make no comment.
It is pregnant with results perhaps of the last importance to En-
raipe, wl cn emuldered in relation to the personal character of his
Successor, and the political system which will now be acted upon
in all its rigour, and will be followed up to the full measure of its
erects. The Exchange, the louvre, the public theatres, are all
otdered to be closed for six weeks. The 31inisters called late last
night to make their inquiries at the palace. M. DE VILLELE
Daly was admitted. Whatever may be stated in the bulletins, the
KING was in such a state of complete insensibility ever since Sun-
day night, as to recognise no one. Ile had no-such farewell inter-
view with his family as is there stated. The Duke ofthisrags
arrived at lislf-past eleven Lot night at the TuiSeries, as did the
Pettier DON 311litEi, but neither were admitted.

The intelligence we have received from our Correspon-
dent in Spain represents the condition of that unfortunate
country as becoming, if possible, worse daily. Trade km-
and though the taxes arc increased, they arc Itsa

productive. " Within the last four months the public re-
venue lias.diminished at least one third." We quote the
words of Our Correspondent, whom we know to be well-in-
formed es to the subjects on which he writes. The KING
amuses himself by making continual changes in his Cabi-
net. No Minister is secure in his favour for a week. The
consequence is, that no regular system of Government can
be adopted or carried into execution. All is chaos, and the
Rey :Veto enjoys, to the fullest extent of his unbridled ca-
price, the prerogatives of his absolute sovereignty. The
rt,-establishment of the Inquisition is among the rumours
which agitate and alarm his unhappy subjects, and, con-
, sidering that Frani xwxn draws no small share of his
personal exp.nses from the clergy, and is wholly in-
different as to the character of his measures, it is not
unlikely that the dungeons of the Holy Office may
be again tenanted, and its fires rekindled, unless
France should interpose her vtto on the horrible de-
sign. It is not easy, to conjecture bow the French
Government will disengage itself from its Spanish bur-
then. FLUDINAND'S notion of absolute power renders it
impossible to manage with him. He will listen to no advice
that tends in the slightest degree to abridge his beloved
despotism. Ile acts in a manner which must throw the
whole state in confusion, the moment the French army Is
withdrawn. whenever that may be. The most dreadful
excesses will infallibly ensue: and looking at the actual
state of things, we cordially join with Mr. CAN.
KING, in the wish he expressed in the House of Com-
mons, that, for tho sake of humanity, it is desirable that
the military occupation of Spain should be prolong.A.
If the French Government, would compel his Cerno LTC
MAJLSIY to give his people some, representative in-
stitutions, we should without disapprobation see the
French army continued in Spain, until the new political
machine was duly set in motion ; for at present we foresee
notl:ing but endless calamities front the conflicts of extreme
principles. It will be observed that our Correspondent
mentions that another party of Revolutionists have landed
at Huelva and have escaped into the woods. Yet, such is
our opinion of the gross fatuity of FI:IDINAND and his
men of the Faith, that we should not be surprised if they
wete to make an effort to send sway the French troops, in
order that they might satiate their revenge on the Consti-
tutionalists, perhaps by another massacre like that of St.
Bartholomew.

G , ST. ILDirOYSO.

The orders which had been given for making the necessary pre-
parations for the departure of their 316.1ESTIES and the Patxc ES,
have been countermandede they had intended to quit this Royal
residence on the 7th current, and to have returned to Madrid. His
DlA:mi., in the present prospect of affairs, does not feel die.
posed to return so early to his capital. It is believed that he will
go shortly to the Escurial. Letters received from Burgos an-
nounce, that the Archbishop's Palace is preparing for their MA.
ITSTIEV reception.
M. Mkt LASTIIROS still continues in of as Minister of Ft.
nonce; thae is no doubt, however, that his removal is resolved
upon.

M. ATMERIC, the new Minister of War, ed interim, has made
greet changes among the persons employed under him. Several
heads of departments 'see been displaced. Among the chief arc,
3131 OSEDL, TORiIeADO, EYDITE, SAOCHIA, I'ASAILLO,
and r !nos.

Many chr.nges are rumoured as about to take place In the upper
branches of Administration. It is said that the Minister for Fo-
reign .teuirs will be superseded by the Minister of the Home De-
paruntnt, and the portrVimilk of the latter will be confided either
to the Councillor of btate, Rosa, or to the new superintendent.
GeneraLof Polies, who, in his turn, will be succeeded In his ap-
pointment by the Chancellor of Grenada, who has been sent for to
Court for that purpose. The Duke INFAIf TAD° is db.° said
to be reinstated in the Royal favour, and is to be nominated Presi-
dent of the Council of Camille.

The state of our finances becomes daily more deplorable; how
can it be otherwise, under a Government which annihilates the
whole spirit of commerce, by destroying all the principles of free.
dun, ? Trade has no stimulus; wealth has no security. Our prin-
cipal merchants and landholders hare emigrated; the taxa on
articles of the very first necessity have been increased within thew
few clays, and the restrictions imposed on certain other articles
make them almost wholly unproductive to the Royal Treasury t
so much so. that within the last four months the public revenue
has diminished at least oree-thirel; In proof of this we need only
cite the article of gunpowder. The sale of this article, which pro.
dueed to the Exchequer en income of fro.n sixty to seventy thou.
card rids per month, has not, within each of the last four months,
proieced more than twenty thousand! What Government Can 10
on 11!:lial ruck a defalcation ?

A part of the militia which we have here at present arc to be
marched immediately into flallicia and the Asturias. Every pre.
parat.,.:t is making which the impoverished state of the finances
will admit to hasten their departure-
An old otlicer, named JALLAUT, has just been brought into our
prison, said to have been the chief of a band which was begin.
ning to organise itself in the mountains in the neighbourhood of
Toledo.
The re.establisliment of the rovarition is now apoken of more
thLn ever; but it is to be hop:4 that the influence of the French
Cabinet sill be applied to oversule the intention of re.establiahing
t,is horrid tribunal.

Ily the last Iztters received from Anil&luals, we learn that the
Revolutiorista having effected a disembarkment at Huelva, in the
kingdom cf Seville, the Captain.lieneral sent all his disposable
forma to mem them, and at their approach they fled into the woods.
A number of /Accra, not on active service, dilictsed among the
villages of this province, and who are suspected of holding intelli.
ger.ce with the Revolutioniats, have been arrested and carried to
Seville, where the populace assailed them as they passed over the
bridge of Triana.

We. learn from the provinces of Navarre, Rioja, Arragon, and
BUT&;04, that the affair of Tarifa has occasioned the most lament.
able excesses to be nominated by the populace against the (;ousel.
tutienalista, who find no security but in those towns in which there
are French garrisons, which proves that the presence of the French
armies in the Peninsula can hardly yet be dispensed with. Many,
indeed. look forward with the utmost alarm to the period when
their term of occupation expires, which will be on the first of next
January ; and their firs are augmented, on learning that the
Fr-r. eh Ambassador had sent a note to our Government, intimat.
log, that if the term fixed was not extended. orders would be given
that they 'hotel.: begin to evacuate the hospitals. What wawa
our Government has returned to this note Is not known.

By the last Paris Papers we learn, that the late hive
died after long and severe agony. It was not expected
that age and infirMity had left him enough stamina of life
to entail so much suiferin,g in the struggle of nature with
death. We arc toy that " Lotus supported it as he had
borne misfortune." We have no disposition to enter into
a controversy with some of our contemporaries respecting
the character of the departed Mos; A t CI:, though we have
viewed with ineFable disgust the attempts that have been
made to calumniate hint. Whatever virtues the malice of
party may have denied hint, the praise:of fortitude through a
course of the most extraordinary licissitude, was at least
his due ; and it appears that on his death-bed he evinced
the same tranquil reliance on the Divine goodness, and
submitted himself with decorous firmness to the will of
Gel. In him the French people have lost the best Sove-
reign that ever sat upon their throne. II I:NLY IV. with all
his goodness of heart, did little for the country, and that little
scarcely survived him. To Loris XVIII. was reserved the
honour of founding the political institutions of France on a

romosmal. vissimmEntossumni
wise and liberal basis. When an unexampled combination
of audacity and treason hail overthrown his work and driven
him again from his kingdom, his first care on his return
was to re-establish and confirm anew the Constitutional
Charter, and ensure the civil and religions liberties of a
people who had offiTed him the strongest provocation and
the best excuse to annul them altogether. Loci. XVIII.
was not crowned, and there is some reason to believe that
Cita RI. ES X. will not undergo that ceremony. It is known
that the Coronation of the Kings of France cannot be
performed now as it was before the Revolution ; but will it,
therefore, be discontinued? The question sounds strangely,
especially when it relates to a country like France, cf all
others tie fondest of speetede; but how is the difficulty,
to which we allude, to be overcome? We fear the sue-
cessors of Loots XVI. must be satisfied with the honour
of wearing the crown, without the imposing solemnity of
a formal coronation.

We last night received the Brussels Papers of Saturday.
From the extracts we give below it will be seen how re-
luctantly the Divan consent to the evacuation of the prin-
cipalities. It is manifest that if the Greek successes did
not alarm the Ottoman barbarians, the point would tut be
conceded. As it is, all the influence of the mediating
powers, England an4l Austria, is hardly sufficient to induce
the Turkish Ministers to give a positive assurance that the
troops shall be withdrawn.—The Brussels Oracle of Thurs.
day states, on the authority of a letter from Paris, that an
expedition has sailed from Brest, to blockade the ports of
Ilayti. We cannot believe that the French Government can
be so silly as to attempt again the reduction of that island.
France has undoubtedly sustained a grievous injury in the
loss of St. Domingo, but experience has taught her that the
colonists cannot be restored to their rights, but at an
expense of blood and treasure far beyond their worth.
Let France console herself as she can, for the irreparable
mischief she has suffered from her revolutionary philan-
thropists ; atilt let us, profiting by the example, take
care that our planters are not, by similar means, exposed
to similar misfortunes.

A VOSAIrIIG, SEPT. 10.

Lore STIANGTOnn has just resumed his efforts to induce the Di-
van to give at length positive orders for the evacuation of the princi.
palitics. lie has, to this end, transmitted to the Reis Effendi a
very urgent note, in which he manifests the dissatisfaction of the
Russian Cabinet at seeing that the Ottoman Government has not
yet taken any steps to fulfil Ps promises relative to liValiachia.
He shows how weak the reasons arc which the Porte alleges for
delaying indefinitely the evacuation of Moldavia. The Reis
Effendi, it seems, not having been authorised to answer this
note, the British Ambassador has demanded and obtained
audiences of that Minister and of the Grand Vizier.

We can only conjecture what passed at dine conferences. but it
is known that the opinion of a diplomatic character in Pere is, that
Lord STIIAXGPORD wsa made sensible that the Grand Vizier and
the Reis Effendi were sincere, but that their hands were tied, on
account of the intrigues of a numerous party, which aims at their
overthrow. This party, which has gained ground in the Divan,
has succeeded in causing the departure of the Turkish troops fo-
the principalities, to be considered as contrary to the interest.. Of
the Porte. This is the cause of the continual tergirersations of the
Turkish Ministers, in the negotiations so long carried on by ti a
Ministers of England and Austria, acting as mediators in the d f•
fererces between Turkey and Russia.
By the Sultan's order, some troops from various Government. lu
Asia, have been was to join the Capi:an Pacha, but not a v. rah
could be sent to reinforce his &et, which has suffered some loamse
in the late affair which took place rear Mitylene.
BRUSSELS, SEPT. lit

A letter from Paris of the 14th says, the expedition for St
Domingo has just sailed from Brest. It is not to attack by force,
bnt to blockade the porta of the island.

We have received Frankfort l'apers to the nth instant
the most interesting extracts from which we subjoin: they
are nowise remarkable, exceptin7 the communication, dated
from Marseilles, in which the English arc said to render all
the assistance in their power to the Turks in their en-
deavours to subjugate or rather to exterminate the Greeks.
The outrageous folly cud falsehood of this charge are too
well-known in this country to need refutation. The Divan
regard the interference of the English in quite another light.
The GIIAND St LTAN considers, and considers truly, that
his rebellious subjects have no more sincere and efficient
friends than the English. From what other quarter have
tl.•e Greeks a tithe of the supply of arms and money which
has been sent to them from England, tc say nothing of the
great moral aid Greece has derived from the presence of
several of our most distinguished countrymen ? The fo-
reign influence of England is not so much on the wane
that It has become necessary for her to have recourse to
such means as this French letter insinuates. At no period
in our history as a nation was the attitude of England more
commanding: never was her power greater, or her autho-
rity more respected. But we are told not only that the Ca.
PITAN PAC/lA.B fleet is manned with British seamen, but
that in Egypt also British agents are furnishing transports
for the Vteraoy's expedition. The Sublime Porte would
seem to be dependent on British support with a vengeance.
Not an armament can be fitted out, but " British agents"
must interfere to accelerate its departure. Dow unfortu-
nate for these calumiators that no En.;lisliman was found
among the gang of v.:etches who were most righteously
put to death at Ipsara, in the act of e.:.rying off the spoils
of the murdered islanders, which they had bought of the
savage pl

unfortunate that at least some
one Englishman should not have been found, at some time
or other, in the Turkish ranks, Raided, as they have been,
so often by Germans and Frenchmen! With respect to
Egypt, we happen to be in possession of a fact, which in,
due time, we suppose, will be brought forward in evidence
against the English, as auxiliaries of the Itlusseltnana. The
politic Vicraoy, in furtherance of the numerous and im-
portant improvements he meditates in Egypt, has engaged
a body of English engineers, who will shortly leave this
country, to erect several large picas of machinery. These
we dare say, will be described, in a futere file of German
Papers, as intimately connected with the horrible project of
colonising Greece with a Bfahometan population. The
following are the extracts to which we allude :

I‘LIIISEILLES, Ara. J.

According t thz news we have received from the Archipelago,
there has rot been any real naval action, and the Capitan Pacita's
fleet rs again assembled at illitylenc. Thz Ilydriot and Speariot
vessAs„ and the remainder of the Ipsariots, c 'nerved the Turks, but
up to the 20th July, had not attempted any attack upon them.
It is certainly confirmed, that the Greeks again got pouession
of Ipsara, but it will scarcely be possible to replace the island la
the same formidable state of .defence it was in before; certainly
it would require a long time, and a great deal of artillery must be
pro-ured, as that which was in the island has been partly earned
away and partly rendered unserviceal•la A great numbs of the
Ipsariots, too, perished in the everts at ,he beginning of July. The
rapitan had not begun any further operations, but he will be less
likely to refrain from them, as he has lately receive► many goad
European sailors, especially from the Erglish, who support him in
every possible way. This latter circumstance is considered througi.
out the Levant as an Indubitable fact, and semi to be the did
means that England employs to maintain its inSuenee with the
Porte.

ing the departure of the expedition of the Vic LIOY ; they have
even supplied ninny ships as transports for the troops

We learn that in the Deparmental Council on the 20th August,
