France at this moment. The French people are

it is bryond doubt that their Sue Lasinri is desirous to
signalise his reign by conciliation and kindness, but at the
same time we annot help ming how many chances there arc
that his MAJESTY'S good intentions may be rendered fruit-
less. Up to the present monocrat they have only been able to
efri et the removal of the Censorship. This was something,
especially as the index of a disposition towards a better sys-
tem ; but to enter upon such a system really, the most
hazardous and the most difficult part yet remains to be per-
forms!. Our latest advises from Pain' lead us to believe,
that the only Minister whose accession to power appears at
present certain is the I hike de Ferz,aMCa, to whom the
athniniatration of the Kent's household has been long
promised. The Duke de Doti LIZ•UVIII.I.E cannot lung ex-

WINDSOR, Moi.bAT, Om 11.

This mornitir was appointed by Ins Majesty for com-
mencing the Stag-hunting season, and by half-past tee
o'clock a good show of the lovers of this royal and manly
spurt were asaembkd at King's Beach, near Windsor, an-
ticipating a good run after the King's hounds. The
weather was very inauspicious; but a true sportsman,when
well mounted after a stag, never troubles himself about a
little rain, particularly as the scent is always stronger in
wet than in dry weather. To the mortification of all the
sportsmen attending (and some had rode ki9 and 30 miles
to join in the hunt), before elerm o'clock a whipper-in
delivered a message to them from the Earl of Maryborough,
" that owing to the unfavourable state of the weather, the
hunt was potapomal till half-past ten o'clock on the fol-
lowing day, and to meet at the same place."
This afternoon, shortly after time o'clock, his Majesty
left the Royal Lodge in his pony phaeton, and took a short
drive in the Great lark, where the roads had nut been too
much tacted by the heavy rain.
The private meeting, which was fixed to take place this
day and to-morrow, at Aiwa Ileath, is postponed until
Friday and Saturday next, the incessant rain which fell
yesterday and this 'limning having rendered the course
quite dangerous to the safety of the horses and riders. The
postponement was not known on the ground until one
o'clock, at which time there nas a great deal of company
on the course. We noticed Lord F. Conylighain, Lord G.
Hemlock, Sir A. Barnard, Sir W. Scott, and many dis-
tinguished Noblemen.

Yesterday afternoon his Royal Highness the Doke of
York held a Lever at the Commander•in-Chief's Office,

forty military officers.
'the sale of his Royal Iliglinerss the Duke of York's fine
estate at Oatlands, is etil,eted. Mr. Hughes Ball has be-
come the purchaser. This tine property, it is said, has
sold for a sum of 130,000/. and about 30,0001. valuation of
the timber.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloneestm is expected
to visit Croon's., the seat of the Earl of Coventry, on the

A private letter from Paris mentions as probable, the re-
call of General Guilleminot from the E.nbassy at Constan-
tinople. It is added, that lie will be succeeded by M. de
Verrunsys; and also that Baron de Dania' will have the
command of the army in Spain, and exercise, at the. same
time, the functions of Ambassador.—Brussets Paper.
Curbiere, whose influence in the Cabinet is next to that

inks' into the Institute, of which lie is a member.
It was reported yerterday in the city, that a house of the
first respectability bad received a letter from Buenos Ayres
mentioning the death of the Royalist General Valdes.
It is reported that the Spanisli refugees in Tangiers arc
in confintaiusit, and are about to be given up to the
Spanish Government. Among them are Morena (lucre
and Romero Alpueute. Colonel Brian): y, of the Spanish
naval service, has been appointed the Spanish Consul at
that pert, and set off from Madrid with presents for the
Emperor of Morocco to the value of fifty thousand dollars.
The treasury can find money fur such purposes, but not a
dollar for any of its diplomatic agents.
(hi Monday next the States-General of the Netherlands'
will meet, in conformity with the Constitution. This year
there will be at least 43 new members, in cons. quence
of iltatlis or promotions.—The number of 56 metninTs is
nect..sary to constitute a Second Chamber. As the whole
number is but 110, and the 13 new members must be first
regularly admitted and take the oaths, it appears that only
to need remain away, to prevent the Chamber from de-
liberating.
The King and Queen of the Netherlands have sent a
icon of 2,500 florins for the relief oT the sufferers by the
hurricane which laid waste part of the province of Luxem-
burg, on the fifth of July last. The King has also as-
signed fur their use a further sum of 6,000 florins.
It is inteadall to erect at Munich, near the Glyptotheca,

that four others will be forme, namely, at Augsburgh,
Nuremburgh, Ratisbon, and Wartsburgh.
CHRISTIANITY IN INDIA.—The first Protestant Miss
aionary hi Calcutta, was Joint Frederick Kiernander.
This humble preacher of the Gospel came to Calcutta in
the year 1755, and was receives: with marked favour by
Lord Clive, and the members of the Supreme Council. A
house, rent free, was assigned to him, null a subscription
was raised to enable him to open a school, which was soon
attended by a large number of children (belonging to
Mahominedan, and Portuguese parents), who
were instrucnil in the English language., reading, writing,
arithmetic, and the principles of Christianity. In 1767,
Mr. Kiernander, being obliged to give up, for the use of
Government, the house which he had formerly occupied,
resolved to build a Church at his own charge, and on his
own ground, a work which during the next three years
was brought to a successful termination, at the expense of
60,000 piers rupees. 'this (stairs was opened for Divine
Service in the year 1:70, and with Nome subsequent

name of the Old, or Mission Church.—Cuteattii Scuts-

The Whig manifesto lately put forward by the Northern Whigs,
and the public attention which has been attracted towards it, len..
parted more than usual importance to the annual meeting of ilia
Club. As to that manifesto. a goat diversity of opinion pres,ik
even amongst the Whigs themselves on the point—whether it be

the radlod Whigs it is considered too moderate, and by the Ina
drrate Whigs tun radical. That it does not contain a more Keno,

from which it is suppaed to emanate, is chiefly owing to the dr.
cumstance of its having, been published to the world before it hid

of the county sere present. Previous to the dinner, a gin.
rate meeting cd the Conanditee of the Club took pla:c. to
make arrangements both as to the intemal nianseenti tor and em.
manly of the Club, and as to the sentiments which at Olio moment
might be acceptable to the body. of which they considtr thensteltet

to render the present attendant' numerous and respectable, with e

The weather was escceeingly unfavourable; it rained from an
early hour, which operated not only to the disadvantage of the Meet.
Ing but also of a fair which tank place at the town on the same day.
Although the weather was PO unpropitious, yet • brisk tale of
cattle was kept up throughout the day. Horses fetched every high
prier, aed there was 1110 re bovines' generally done than en any
former occasion at this fair. This, as an individual custom, may
be taken as indicative tl t general agricultural prosperity of the
county.

In the private meeting of the Club. which took place previous
to dinner, the late Manliest° undtrwent discuasion. Several rcrhal
amendments were agreed upon, and the declarants was adopted,
with a very few and unimportant alterations.
At six o'clock the Club assembled at dinner.nt the Royal Hotel.
It was served up in the Asaembly-man:the preparations and
entertainment were in every respect worthy the interesting occasion
which the company had assembled to commemorate.

to be called a Whig (cheers), for he retnembcred that the most
eminent ansoorit our ancestors were Whigs, and that they were
dutonguishicl members of that body who pruciired for of oar
liberties—who achieved the greatest services lair the nation--ard ant
governed our country in the time of its greatest glory. (Much
cheering) It had lately become the fashion to call the Whigs a
tato ion, whereas they only asked what they were ready to accede to
others, and what they were entitled to by the laws and constitution
of their country. Asa hotly, thy sere entitled to praise. A Whig
was attached to the prineiples of the Constitution acetiniiiat to :he
dictates of reason, whilst the Tory, in his attachment, was actu-
ated by secret and self-ir.terested motives. (Hear, hear.)—The
Whig was candid and leanest. Ile could only he assailed by ca-
lumny. The Tory might call them a faction ; they did nothing to
merit that title. They only sought to proeure tar the people a re-
cognition ofthine rights which the laws allowed then.. (Applause)
The Tories, he would confidently allirm, were nally the faction
that entleivouted to steal a power which did rot (clone to them,
anal which the l'onstitution vested in the people--to diminish the
people's rights, and to abridge their liberties. (Clwers.) The Whig
seeks to give, the Tory to take away, what the law allows; and if
a preference should be given to either parry the palm certainly was
due to the limner. 'I he councils of the Whigs had unwired the
crown, and upheld its but prerogative—suul there were periods
of our history in which, if the Monarchs of this country had
listened to the councils of their opponents. they would have find
the "%ehrm at sea on an ocean of uncertainty. (Hess, hear.) The
Tories, indeed, said, "Oh, it is a good thing to have an Opposi.
tin !. ' But then they would conhae as to the office of sentinels
watching on the outworks of the l'oastitittion, whilst they remained
in pootession of the strongholds of power. (Cheers.) But we
