of the square. The ofbeees retired, declaring they
would effect their purpose another day, as they had
sworn to avoid to the lust any provocation which

the formal acceptance of the Constitution was the

In another part of our Paper will be found the
principal articles of the Constitution, from which
our readers may form a tolerably correct notion of*
the powers that respectively belong to the two
estates of the realm. There will he only one col.
lective and deliberative Assembly, as was formerly
the case in the several kingdoms of the Peniusula,
and as was alms the case in Scotland previous to the
Union with England, by which means there must
be an unceasing struggle for authority, and even
for political existence, between the KING sod the
Aristocracy., until the power of either be overawed
by violence, or neutralised by influence. The
Royal authority is more restricted by the terms of
this Constitution than it is in any other country in
Europe, and much more, we fear, than is consistent
with the interests of the people, sod the ultimate
tranquillity of the State.
The domestic intelligence contained in the Perim
Papers is nut very interesting. The law against
individual liberty was presented to the Chamber of
Peers on Friday, and referred to the bureaux. In
the Charriber of Deputies a report was made from
the Committee appointed to examine the law relat-
ing in the accounts anterior to the year 1819. The
reporter recotnuirtided the simple adoption of the
project.
