MONDAY, F 1

We have received. Paris, Hmburg* and Brussels
Journals. The French Jounals, which are of Tuesday
last, are totally destitute of interest These papers
inform us, that in one department more than forty tax-
gatherers have been dismissed; and it is computed that
near six hundred persons, who were employed in collect-
ing the indirect taxes, as well as in-the central adminis-
tration of the departments, have bean forced to resigan.
The sense of their dismissal is- dindfastion to the Go-
vermlent.
Communications from private Correspondents tit Lyons,
agree in stating that the public mind his assumed greater
tranquillity; but they still think a ch will take place
in the French Ministry; and dim the Pulse de Richelieu
will be forced to resign, a eirseenemMll we should very
much deplore. -.ie. a: • '
The English newspapers ti*Vrohibited with more ri-
gour than ever ; and this measure is said to have been the
result of a Cabinet decision. •

The Minister of police de Cartels kited to have de-
clared that there were only 311 person In prison for po-
litical offences. The report was, that there were a vast
number more, which, says M. ec Caze, " I did not con-
tradict, because it satisfied the minds of the well-disposed,
that the Government were active, and kept the restless
and turbulent in awe."—The answer to this surely must
have been obvious to M. de Caze. If the report were so
beneficial in its effect, why contradict it now ?
From the recent proceedings in the French Chamber
of Deputies, it appears that Government proposes to re-
store to the Clergy all the Church property which was
not confiscated. during the times of the Revolution ; it was
also proposed to the Chamber to make- some additional
provision for them on the civil list. M. Beugnot, one of
the Deputies, and who was Minister of Police undt r Louis
XVIII. after his first restoration, opposes it in the moot
violent manner, in a speech of considerable length and
ability. The following pa.eage will show the present
wretched suite of France :

" There is," says M. Bcugnot, " wretchedness- and
misery in which you are concerned more nearly than
than that on which you are debating—there are in the

ducted with so much prudenc.., and good sense on both
tides, that until very Lately, may those in their most in-
timate confidence, knew of tine existence of any particular
footings of the parties towards each other. One part of
the proposed zurangemcnts at least must be peculiarly
pleasing to our national kclings: the Princess Chaal.nte
of Wales has expressly stipulated. that she shall never be
taken out of thecountry without her full and free consmt.
The Prince, who is expacted in this kingdom in a few
days, is the third brother to the reigning I htke. He was
born on the Kith December, 1790. His brother was
lately married at Vienna to the beautiful Princess Krassal
Kowiek. His sister is married to the Grand duke Con-
stantine of Russia. Rumour says, that a proposition has
been under consideration of Ministers, at th.! instance of
asu illustrious personage, for the appointment of Prince
I.eopold of Saxe-Cobourg, after the intended nuptials, to
he Viceroy and Commander in Chief of the army of
Hanover.
