ntetts, Oer,

I sent you about three weeks ago a statement of the
r•:.l eons:: why the I lergy were afwent from the removal of
the body of Louis XVIII. from Paris to St. Denis, namely,
misunderstanding between the Archbishop of Paris and
the i ;rand Almoner, who refusal a seat in his carriage to
the former, lievatise lie had placed on it the urn amtaining
the heart of the di ecasod Monarch. No other carriage
being in restlino4 for the Archbishop, lie retired in
liagrin, and dismissed the WO Priests, who were to have
funned part of the• procession. So explanation of this ex-
traordinary occurrence has hitherto been given in the
French Journals till y sterday, when the Etnik at last
ventured to give the fullowirg account of this affair, by
which you will see the whole blame is thrown upon the
I:rand Mast( r of the eeremonii s :

" A single word is sufficient to put an end to the reports
which are in circulation as to this transaction. We are
mowed that the true cause of the absence of the Clergy
was a simple misunderstanding in the order of the pro-
.iession, and in distributing the invitations. This mistake
;wevenwil the invitations given to the Clergy from reach-
ing the Archbishop of PAris. The Clergy could not take
their places %illiout being invited."
The futility of this excuse is palpable. You may be
assured that my former explanation was perfectly correct.
M. Iluyot, the architect, has been permitted to present
his plan fur the triumphal arch, Dr: Eluile, at the entrance
of Paris by the Champs Elysees, and has received orders
to execute it without delay.
The new prole! for the reduction of the interest of the
reit PS, which ■pprared in the Journal Jr commerce, gives
the Stockholders a choice between three propositions:—

1. The state will pay them an annuity of 1,000 francs
until it shall reimburse a capital of in,ooo francs.

2. Or an annuity of 831 franca till it shall reimburse a
..tapital of 21,277 francs.
S. Or, if they prefer it, the State will pay them an
annuity of sun francs, till it reimburses a capital of
?.6,667 francs.
So much for M. Villele's system of finance. For a
sacrifice of 149 francs of annuity he offers 1,277 francs of
capital ; and for the simple sacrifice of 31 francs of an-
nuity, an increase of 5,390 franc-sof capital.

FRANKFORT PAPERS.

WaIISAW, SEPT. 2!.

a decree issued on the 31st of last moth, by the Prince
Governor, all young men intended fur the ecclesiastical profession,
and who are in the seminaries, see exempt from military service.
This exemption. however, will cease. if, when they leave the se-
minary, they give up the intention A embracing the ecclesiastical
profession.
On the 19th, M. de Skansjewski was installed with great solem-
nity, in the Church of the Holy Cross, u Archbishop and Primate
of the kingdom.
31VXICII, OCT. 2.
We expect shortly the publication of a new plan oil studies for
the scadendes of the kingdom ; for which purpose the Government
of the Cirri's, and all the Director% of Academies, were called upon,
some months ago, to send in deeded reports and proposals. A•
the new plait is to be carrie I into effect in the next academic 1
year, the commencement of that year toe 1824-5, is deferred in alt
the superior academies tilt the Mit November.
BERLIN, OCT. 1.
If ritir Government, like every one that attentively and wisely
considers the interests of the several classes of citizens, as well a.
the welfare of the whole State, thinks of retrenchments. and of nicx,
equal distribution of the public burdens. &c. the accounts the
Itsye been pciblisherl by the Ilamburgi Owrespondesit are, sta-
in-founded. There is no idea of the 31inister ••••r' War, Lien
tenant-General Von flake, ,resigning his Alice. Ili. Eseellet cy
continues to enjoy his Majesty's conlicleiter and the esteem of th
.piny, and will resume his functioos as soon as his brabh,
is much tisipmved, allows. Nor are the dedications of I and II p*
cent to be considered as savings, they being ihtended to faint a tool
for pensioning civil °Ricers.
