F ORDINANCE O TliE KENO.
Louis, by the grace of God, King of France and Navarre.
To all to wbom throe presents shall cornet, greeting.
Considering our Ordinance of December 17, 1818, which unites
under one administation the establishments founded in France st
different times for the instruction of young English, Irish, and
Scotch Catholics : considering the Memorials presented by the
Prelates in Scotland, in which they stow that the Scotch founds.
tions are too poor to bear, even in proportion to the revenues which
they prodlice, the expenses of an administration instituted for the
three establishments united.

Considering that the scantiness of the revenue of the Scotch sec.
don really requires fur that section an administration courtly gra.
tuitous, and which cannot be better exercised than by those who
have the greatest interest in the preservation of the funds and the
good application of the produce.
Wishing to enter into the views of the founders who have placed
those establishments under the protection of the Kings OUT ances.
tors, by maintaining over this gratuitous administration
inspec-
tion of our Government.

On the report of our M inixter, Secretary of State for the Interior,
with the advice of our Council of Srite, we have ordained and do
ordain as follows:

" 1. The Inundations made in France for the instruction of
young (:atholics shall be separated from the Eiglish and Irish foum
dation', to be administered separately under the superintendence of
our Minister of the Interior.

" It The administrator shall be, as far rs passible, a Priest of the
Catholic church of Scotirmd, and by birth a subject of his Britannic
Majesty.
" 3. !lc shall be named by our Minister of the Interior.
" 4. He may delegate his functions for a time to a French EC-
clesiastic, who must be approved by air Minister of the Interior.
" .:. The Scotch Administrator. or his delegate, shall have, for
the preservation of the property and the receipt of the revenues,
the same powers as are given to the Administrator-General hy
our thvlinanee of 17:h December, 1818, and especially by Att. 21
of that Ordinance.

" 6. The revenue.' received by the Administrator shall be paid
by him entire and without delay into our Royal Treasury, which
shall open an account current for our Minister of the Interior for
the concern of those foundations.

•' 7. The Budget of the expenditure of the funds arising from
the loundaticns shall be regulated beforehand for each year by
the Minister.

" a. The annual accounts shall be submitted to his approval,
and finally confirmed by him.

" The nomination of scholars shall likewise be subject to his
approval.
Id. The scholars who, according to the foundations, are to be
brought up to the ecclesiastical profession, shall be placed in the
French seminaries, and subject to the regulations of those esta-
blishments.

" 11. The administration of the Scotch foundatiors shell be
entirely gratuitous.
" 12. Our Ordinance of the 17th December, 1818, shall continue
to be executed, so far as it is not contrary to the present.
" la. Our Ministers of the Interior and Finance are charged
with the execution of the present ()Minim:Li

The Chancellor of the Exchequer brought forward, last
night, in the Committee of Supply, the proposition, voting,
u a present grant, one hundred and fifty thousand pounds
towards the improvements of the King's palace and demesne
at Windsor. The Right Honourable Gentleman prefaced
his motion with a very animated and able apeech. MT.
Robinson detailed clearly, anil convincingly, the existing
defects and inconveniencies in the noble structure et
Windsor, the residence of so many of our monarchs. He
appealed to the justice of Parliament and the consiikra-
tion of the nation, whether, for a sacrifice such as that he
proposed, they would subject the Monarch of this grist

Petry to the inconvenience and (halals that must follow
de its rejection. The Chanceller of the Exchequer stated
that improvements w‘ re contemplated, not only in the ve-
nerable and magnificent s•ructure itself, hut in the sur-
rounding demesne. The noble avenue that led to the'
las:le, the fin, st, he truly said, perhaps in Eur ,
was hounded by the grounds of private itulivid ,
l
whornight turn them into streets, and build upon t ern,
and thus sensibly injure the appearance of this .t 12,. eF
se ap-
mooch : to prevent such a insult, a portion of the sum to
be granted by Parliament was intended, be said, to be
applisl to the purchase of those ,rounds, which the pro-
Fri, :fors of them would cheerfully dispose of on reason-
able sompensation made them. The Right lloncurable
Gentleman further stated, that the appropriation of this
grant would lw made under the superintendence of those
best pudifird by their pursuits arid taste to apply it with
joilgnent and effect. No changes would be made but
such OA would add to the real splendor and convenience of
this princely edifier, the ancient residenceof our insuarchs
for m many centuries. Though Sir Joseph Yorke, who,
since his secession from the Admiralty, has suddenly be-
come so patriotic and careful of the public money, made
one of his wonted arts harangues against this grant,
the cyuntry in general, we are convinced, will give
it t stir fu!lest sanction. The' people of England would
not wish to see their Monarch without a suitable re-
sidesee, or the fine structure at Windsor suffered to moulder
in neglect and ruin. This msgnific:nt edifice, with its
castel:ated towers, was originally laid out by the Norman
Wiliam, and subsequently enlarged by Henry I. It he-
cams the residence of the English monarchs who succeeded,
until Edward 111., who was born there, had the ancient
bulding taken down, and commenced the present splendid
structure, and St. George's Chapel. Crest additions were
made in succeeding reigns, by Edward IV., Henry VII.,
Ilcury VIII., and Elizabeth. Charles H., soon after his
restoration, enlarged the Gothic windows, and made them
regular ; and the fine Terrace, now the noblest promenade
in &trope, both in extent, grandeur, and preepect, w
principally created by this Monarch ; he had it earn
round the east and south sides, and ta ll rt ' y
cn the nortb. The fittest palaces in I 111110111nn 114110
sess nothing that can becanspaml with tins noble Terrace.
That next the sea, in the outer court of the sere.glio at
Corstantinople, approaches more closely to it than any
other that we know of. The numerous buildings of the
tattle form two great courts, the upper and lower. From
that called the Round Tower an extensive prospect is con-
tnanih dof twelve counties. St. Ileorg:'s Chapel stands
between both courts. It was originally begun by Edw. 111.,
enlarged by Falw. IV., and completed by Henry VII. The
interior architecture of this church is very fine, particularly
die stone roof The late lamented Monarch had it
du rsughly repaired and beautified in 1790. In this chapel
were int, trim !lorry VI., Edward IV., Henry VII 1., one
of h:s Queens (Jane Seymour), and the unfortunate
Charles I. ; and at the cast end, an ample vault, by order
if the late King, was constructed in Islo, as the lost
rysting place of himself and his illustrious family. The
heyal apartments are hung with many noble paintings ;
trey now possess the beautiful Cartoons of Raphael, for-
merly at I tampion Court. Here was originally instituted,
by Edward 111., the Choler of the Garter, consisting of
the Sovereign and twenty-b ve Knights I'onmettions, ex-
clusive of the Princes of the Blcod Royal. The Royal
Cellege of St. George was also founded here, formed
of a Dean, twelve Canons, seven minor Canons, and
tight' en Alms Knights. 'Ellis noble edifice has been
distigi red by some inotlern s.ructurrs alluded to by the
Chat miler of the Excheyer in his addri as last !light,
and which, in der the contemplated inoproven.ents, will be
taken I own. (El the south-east side of the Coss le is the
Queen's Loth e, and below this building another, called the
Lower Lodge. These buildings, quite out of keeping with
the fine Cathie structure they aojain, will now be reroved.
'Asijoinii g the Queues Lodge is the Little Park, extending
rouni Os eau and north skits of the Castle, about four
miles in cncnit. The Great lark is on the south side o'
the town of Windsor, and extends for 14 miles round.
The noble avenue, leading to the Castle, runs for nearly
three mires, with a double plantation of stately trees, to
the summit of a delightful bill, near which is the King's
Lodge. 11'inolsor has been iminortalisod in verse by
our greatest punts; its situation is unparalleled in Eng-
land. It has het n the favoured residence of our monarchs
for age s, and is consecrated by every thing that history and
the remembrance of ancient days can throw around it. It
is now selected by his Majesty as his favoured residencein
his declining life. The people of England ought to bit',
palace, at kaat, worthy of their Monarchs and th;oi
at country ; and though Sir Joseph Yorke, disint..rest-
tr
1... and from the pan te motives, no doubt. attempted to
anguo against the vote, the country at large will not,
we are persuaded, grudge the suits proposed for the t rubel-
Bshirent and preservation of this noble edifice. The sum
eo
applied will revert to the community again :it does not
go into the pockets of the liberal Monarch or his officers,'
but is expended in giving employment to hundreds, in
fostering the efts, in domestic improvement, and in restor-
ing and adorning that splendid structure, which rose with
the Mona eby of England, and which has been its pride
and boast through centuries. It would he a national
demolition to this great country to sec such a structure
dilap;dated or falling into ruins, from the absence of that
liberality which has often been wasted in other ways infi-
nitely less worthy of this country. The vote is therefore
one to which we are happy to have an opportunity of
giving our unqualified approhation. ' •

The Courier, whose whole tone has lately been so much
improved, and whose sentiments and feelings :'wards Ire-
land, in particular, have keen most creditably liberal and
candid, alluding last night to a letter in its columns from
Mr. )McDonnell, one of the most distinguished Catholics
in Ireland, but whose feelings towards the Government of
Marquis Wellesley, from some of his late publications, we
regret to add, an• most unfortunate and mistaken, takes
great pains to exculpate the intolerant Archbishop of Dub-
lin from ally participation in the insults olfl.red to the Ca-
' (holies of Ireland over the graves of their friends. Now
we happen to know Dr. Magee personally for years; we
knew him irtimately and well, when he was only a Fellow
of his Culli.;e; we were as well acquainted with him when
subs( quently Dean of Cork—from that promoted to a
Bishopric in the north of Ireland, and at length, through
the ez.rmet reconninialations of his friend Mx. Plunkett,
translated to the Archbishopric of Dublin, with its immense
patronage, and the .4posto/ic revenue of twelve tWeond a
tear. In all these changes we layer him to be MMus,
orahsfx, and *telt 'ant ; we never yet lit aril M. a liberal or

Fierous act being imputed to him: While he wanted pre-
ferment, he dissembled in some degree his natural pride!
and intolerance; but having ence reached the summit of
his ambition, both broke loose without restraint. The
Courier is a stranger to Dr. Magee, except by report,
we are not so. Lord Sidmouth, on his going over to
Ireland with the King, and meeting this Prelate,
declared he never saw ambition so personified as in
his person. We stated before the fret of Dr. Collins, a
moat respectable Catholic clergyman, having been insulted
at the grave by Dr. Mager, or his agents, in the church-
yard of St. Fin Bars, while the latter was Dean of Cork ;
his conduct to Mr. Darcy subs( quently, in Dublin, was
only a repetition of this most uncharitable aggression. The
Archbishop might have been at Leamington, or anywhere
else, when the latter outrage was committed by his up nts,
but " INi foci! leer alio: fixed per se." It is nontense to
argue, that any clergyman, within his arch diocese, would
have dared to venture such an outrage, unless his pre-
vious licence was had to authorize and sanction it. We de-
tailed his conduct, some months since, to the unfortunate
clergyman of his own Church—the haplru Welch curate,
an unfriended stranger, against whom he fulminated his
anathema, and reduced, with his family, to beggary, be-
caw the former did not kiss the slipper of the proud,
Prelate on his promotion, and make one among the crowd
of adulators that filled his hall. Dr. Magee will re-
member how he subsequently flung his door in his
face, and called on the pampered menials of his hall
to drive him down his sups. We cannot forget the,
feeling of general indignation that was aroused in Dub-
lin, when the ruined stranger published the treatment he
received. But he was poor and unpatronized—Dr. Magee
was rich and powerful ; and the tribunal to which his
victim appealed, with the world's insensibility, too soon for-
got him and his sufferings. The Courier does not n
the character of the man it defends, or with the liberal
ft-clinics that now distinguish it, this paper would revolt
from his defence. The Archbishop has not attained his
present unpopularity in every part of Ireland, without
strong deserts. The people of that country do not hate on
light grounds ; but they know this uncharitable man to
be their embittered enemy—one who would deny then' the
very repose of the grave. Into such hands does Mr.
Plunkett's Bill commit the dearest rights of the people of
Ireland. Will the Courier say they should be delivered
over into such keeping ?

The progress of knowledge tends imperceptibly to intrc-
duce amongst all classes a more liberal and enlightened
mode of thinking. The merchant changes his maxims of
eommercial dealing—the manufacturer improves his no-
tions of mercantile policy, and Legislators, following in
the train of practical instruction, and adding to it, of late,
the result of a clear-sighted and comprehensive wisdom,
perceive the infinite utility of adopting into their public,
system of laws, as connected with the trade and revenue of
the country, those enlarged principles of freedom which
an alone forward the real interests of either, and which
hest ensure the propriety of both. Ministers have within
these two last years done much, but much yet remains to
be dose. Of all subjects to which the freedom of trade
should be extended, the first in interest and importance

With the labouring classes of England, after bread, beer is
an article of the first De•esalty, and, consequently, of the
g►eatest consumption ; it is, therefore, an article that the
great bulk of the people can least atiierd should be tam-
pitted with, and upon which a wise Statesman will always
M fearful to let loose his speculations. It is indisputable
that the Beer Act of last Session should he re-mo-
dified in the presat It contains in it much matter
of serious grievance, under which the small-beer brewers
have suffered severely in the interval, and under which
they, as well as the public, would have suit red much
more but for the orb ariu,:icitil palliative (for so we must
term it) which the good sense of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer indulgently applied to it. iVe ri marked, when
speaking on this subject last year, that if there is any one
principle of lti_:iskrion which is dearer than another, n ix
this: that when any law is made to protect the interests of
any clank of persons who have, themselves, an identity of
interest with the public at large, the interests of the public
at large must, by such a law, he essentially sacrificed.
We pronounced the Be. r Act of that Session to be precisely
an Act of this description ; that it had the double lee•cu-
liarity of being neither good for the brewer nor good for the
consumer ; that it was not good for the landed interest nor
fur the labouring classes ; that, in short, it was genii for
nothing. " We do not," we added, " impute any blame
to Mr. lioarxsoy, who brought it in ; we sincerely be-
lieve that he meant well ; but the brewers, the mono/dirt
class we mean, for there is a class that are nut mono-
?ilk% carry great weight at the Treasury. The trams
of their discontent, thrown into any measure, •reates
a great ji•rnientat ion, and a Chancellor of the Exchequer
run perceive, instinctively and at a great distance,
when a storm is brewing, and very wisely gets out
of the way of it." It is a principle of taxation most mani-
festly unjust, to impose a specific duty on small-beer, and
to regulate by law it strelyth and price, while the main
articles of its manufacture, MALT and noes, are subject
not only to very considerable but to very frequent variations..
How glaring would he the injustice to the bakers of fixing

the French mail, w•e learn that a serious commotion had
nearly ariwn in that capital, from the circular of the Presi-
ol.m of the C nincil of (:aatile to the Royalist volunteers,
ha vog been read to them on the public parade. The vo-
, h n errs loud:y exprtssed their dissatisfaction, and were
even proceeding to acts of outrage, when the French gene-
?al Itonntiont rode up and threatened to call out his troops if
they did not disperse quietly. This intimation had the de-

for carrying 1,-panto by storm, had been approved, and

Ever since thaTeldes bare into office, it would be difficult to
pia: out a grammes, liberal, and philantbopie measure which has
net been proposed by the opposition, rejected by the ministerial
party, introduced anew, supported by public opinion.and ultimately
adopted by/iflornment. The last Lnglish papers fumioh a striking
priiof of agamnark. Alt Europe was already aware of the efforts
of Mr. IV for the suppression of the ill/among slave tr de ;

honour of associating his name, was drawu up some years ago
by the must worthy organs of the opposition, Mr. Brougham. Str

The latest accounts from Batavia, of Nov. 11, mention the capture
of the merchant brig, the General de Koch, Captain Blair, by seven
pirate vessels, oil Cheribon Point, on the VA of I lctober,
after tl,ree hours combat. The Captain leaped oreboard, and was
picked up 21 hours after, and brought to Batavia. - The pilot and
three who also leaped overboard, have since arrived at Bats.
via and lndramayo. It is hoped that Mr. B. Thornton, the owner,
who could not be persuaded to leap overboard, has been spared by
the pirates; and persons have been sent to Billiton, PociotLipar,
and Lingen, to make inquiries, and endeavour b °Wain his re-
lease.

Acceonts from Poelo Pinang, dated the mitidleofOctobn.tiy,
that sonic fears were entertained of an attack from the Siamese
bands, which have asiembled on the opposite coast of the peninsula
'of Malacca, in the territory of Queda, and express their intention of
fetching away by force from Poeta Pinang, the King of
who fled from his &quinine's rime time alit, and placed biniselftta-
der the protection of the British authorities at Poelo l'inang. The
time for the attack Was said to be fixed for the end of this montht
but as the Government at Poelo Pinang was fully informed, proper
measurerare of course taken to give the Siamese a warm reception,
it they should proceed to execute their purpose. The garrison of
Pods Pinang had already been reinforced by *regiment front Ben-
cal, and the King of Qui da had been p!acctl for safety in the fon.
Two small vessels sent by the Governor of the island to ob:ain in-
formation, were taken by the Siamese. Though there is na reason
to tear fer the capital town of l'oelo Pinang itself, it is still pos.
it that plundering parties may land and ravage the island in dif-
ferent places, the channels between the island and the continent be-
w% only a few miles broad. It is generally believed that the Bri-
tish llovernment in India will afterwards punish the Ail dieposi-
•ion of the Siamese In theft own country, tu.'d that a little expe•
It.tion to llankok may be• the consequence of this nostile attack of
the Siamese bands. _ _
