LONDON :

SUND.IY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1817.

Tin Paris Journals communicate the progress made
in the elections, which is as unfavourable to the rural
cause as M. de Cue could wish. The result of the first
scrutiny in the department of the Seine was solely in
favour of M. Lafitte the 'Banker, who was accordingly
I):oclaimed one of the New Deputies. The next ten
candidates who stood highest on the total list of votes
iii successive order were the following :—De Lessen,
C.assimir Perrier, Manuel, Bellart, Roy, Benjamin Con-
want, Gilbert des Voishis, Pasquier, La layette and
G otipy Pere.

Private letters represent the Ministers as fcoling at
Icagth alarmed at the probable result of the elections.
lie sees that the mast of the factious ,have
tite greatest strtngth, and that by neglecting the Roy-
alists he has endan:;ered the tranquility of the state.—
To repair his error he is said to be now courting the
Royalists to throw their influence into tl:e so ale, and an
article having this for its object has appeared in the
Journal des Debats, which is ascribed to his pen. M
Leine the framer of the unfortunate Election-law, it is
reported, will retire frofn the Ministry of the interim
and ascend to the pe:,nige.

THE NATIONAL RIMTSTER,

the criminals who are prosecuted cannot be punished,
the Juries having failed to do their (hay, and dried the
very thuntain of justice, This circumstance throws a
melancholy light upon the spirit which pervades that
wretched district.

The Paris Papers received yesterday to the 26th,
are only remarkable fur the account of the farther pro-
gress made in the election of Deputies. Dc Lesser;
and Roy having been returned by absolute majorities,
have been proclaimed Deputies, in addition to the
previous nomination ef Lafitte. There are now bat
five Representatives to be chosen for the department of
the Seine, and of the candidates those who have the
greatest number of votes are Perrier, &Hart, des Vol-
sins, Manuel, Goupy Pere, Pasqu'er, and Benjamin
Constant. La Fayette has little chance of becoming
u Member ef the Chamber of Deputies. The elections
in the provinces proceed with less virulence than in the
capital. .

It may he stated as a proaf of the revival of trade
even in the luxuries of life, that the duties received in
the lastquarter at Goldsmith's Hall, upon gold and silver
plate, have excelled the pm:ceding quarter in the sum of
£5OOO.
