" ORDER OF THE DAY.

" Comrades,—The King has done me the honour of
appointing me to the command of the National Guards of
Paris, a testimony of the confidence of his Majesty, which
is the noblest a Frenchman can receive. All my efforts
shall he exerted to prove myself worthy of his choice ;
but to accomplish this great object I havi need of the
assistance of all the National Guards. I shall be happy in
meriting this by following the example of my illustrious
predecessor, General Lafayette, from whom I have received
so m any tokens of friendship. My most ardent wishes
are for the glory, the prosperity, and the happiness of
France, under the sceptre of her citisen King. My com-
rades of the National Guards will allow me to participate
in their glory, by contributing to give effect to their ex-
cellent motto—Liberty--Publie Order. " LOIIAU."

PROCLAMATION OF THE PREFECT OF PARIS.
" Inhabitants of Paris,
4"fite Kios hu invested me with the honourable bul

~~~ ,

laborious office of watching over the capital of the civilized
world, the dwelling-place of liberty and wisdornwhose
aeitations shake all France, and whose peace retool4lm-
dit and security far and wide. Under your uniform of
National Guard, you have just defeated the projects of the
' factious—you have in December consolidated the cos-
quests of July. Liberty is rescued from disorder, and yes
look to the Government for the accomplishment of the
great work you began. The Government will do its duty.
Agitators shall not with impunity rob the people of re-
pose, asd tear them from their occupations. The youth
of our schools will recollect that they owe it to their coun-
try to prep ire themselves, by their studies, to supply, 'at
atone future day, the places now filled by us in the conduct
of public affairs. Both time and calm will be devoted to
the firm, tranquil, enlightened, and complete discussion of
our rghts and interests, which are equally the inheritance
of our brethren of the departments. The security afforded
to the employment of capital will restore to the people the
work by which they live, and of which they are deprived
by agitation. The example set by Paris will insure order,
and spread prosrrity as it has already spread the spirit of
liberty. I, who have been chosen by the King for baring
in July parken of the labour*, of the heroic population of
the capita,ta will devote myself entirely to the defenceof
their repose, and endeavour to render myself worthy to be
MIA their friend.

CONTEMPORARY TESTIMONIES.
" North—There, James, lies The Spectator, a weekly paper of
the highest merit, and I wish I had some way of strenuously re.
commending it to the reading public. The Editor, indeed, is
Whiggish, and a Pro-Catholic—but moderate, steady, and con-
sistent in his politics. Let us have no turn-coats. His precis of
passing politics is always admirable; his Mercantile Information
"-that I know on the authority of as good a judge as lives—is
correct and comprehensive. Miscellaneous News are collected
judiciously •and amusingly from all quarters; the Literary de-
partment is equal, on the whole, to that of any other weekly
periodical. I nowhere sec better criticism of Poetry—and no-
where nearly so good criticism .on Theatricals. Sonic critiques
there have been, in that department, superior in exquisite truth
of tact to anything 1 remember—worthy of Elia himself, though
not apparently from Elia; and in accounts of Foreign Literature,
esPecutlly French and above all, of French Politics a subject on
which I need to he enlightened, I have seen no periodical at all
erytial to the Spectator.
" Shepherd—The numbers ou sent out by. deserved A' that ye
said o' them. It's a maist entcrteenin, and instructive—a mist'
miscellawneous miscellany.

not malignant satire upon the foibles of society.lobe,

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 30, 1839.

It will be seen by our Paris intelligence that
though the capital is for the present tran-
quil, a crisis of some sort or other must almost

necessarily take place. The resignation of Gen.
LAFAYETTE seems to have produced almost
general dissatisfaction in the minds of the citi-
Una towards the present Government ; who, we
have little doubt, will ere long be replaced
by one of more rigour and liberality of sentiment.
Meanwhile the KING is, by all accounts, in a
State of great anxiety. Singularly enough, how-
, ever, despite this unsettled condition, the French
lunds still continue to rise.

, Brussels Papers to. the 29th instant contain
important news. The National Congress, in
discussing the chapter of the Constitution,
had decided on several articles in a spirit worthy
of their liberal character. The Press is free—
instruction is free, and the liberty of the subject
is guaranteed.
M. VAN DE WEYER made an interesting re-
port of his mission to Paris. The independence
of Belgium was recognized by the five Great
Powers, and the free navigation of the Scheldt
was also determined on.
The news relative to Poland is scanty, and
not to be depended on, coming through Ber-
lin

/locating, Dec. 27.—The National Congress in its
Sittings of the 24th, 26th, and 27th, continued to debate
on various atticles of the Chapter of the Constitution, re-
lative to the rights of the Belgians. The 12th article re-
ldtive to the non-interference of the civil authorities in
' religious matters remains undecided. M. Legrelle pro-
posed to decree, that the ministers of religion cannot
Proceed to religious solemnization of marriage before the
performance of the civil ceremony, except in certain cases
which are apeeifled. This amendment was referred to
' the Section, and the farther debate adjourned. Almost
every article gave rise to • violent debate, and to va-
rious amendments. The articles adopted are :
"13. Instruction is free. All preventive measures
are prohibited. Measures for the repression of trans-
grestion Can only be regulated by the law.:
" The public education given at the expence of the
State is aho by the law.
" Art. 14. The Prese is free. The Censorship can
lull'ar be introduced. No security can be required from
authors, editors, and printers.
" When the author is known, and settled in Belgium,
the editor, printer, or distributor, cannot be prosecuted.
The declaration of culpability in matters relative to
the Press belongs exclusively to the Jury.
If Art. " 13. The Belgians have a right to assemble peace-
ably and without arms, conformably to the laws which
m•y regulate the exercise of this right; no previous per-
mission can be required, Assemblages in the open air re-
Main subject to the polity low&
Art. 16. Debate adjourned.
" Art. 17. The constituted authorities alone have the
right to petition in their Collective capacity.
Art. 18. The tearecy of letters is inviolable.
" Art. 19. The wee of the languages current in Belgium
is °Shrisk. It cannot be regulated except by a law, and
onlenrindigial Acts."
.
In disc Bitting the 26th, 14, V* ds Wept made a

•
• report oa his mission to Paris, which, says Le Erni' pa-
triote, we give word for word, that we may net be-ac-
cused of desiring to misrepresent what he said :
"M. Gendehien and myself hall scarcely arrived at
Paris when we wrote to Count Sehastiani, Minister for
Foreign Affiirs, sending him copies of our credentials.
The next day we bad the honour to be received officially,
and M. Sebastisni held with respect to Belgium the lan
guage of a frank and generous policy, the sincere expres-
sion of the warm sympathy of France for our country.
The recognition of independence, the first and principal
object of our mission, was under discussion, he said, in the
conferences at London, and he expected a speedy decision
on this subject. In fact, •on the following day, Count
Sebastiani. in a second conference, announced to us that,.
the separation of Belgium from Holland, and its inde-
pendence as a separate state, were assumed as principles
by the five great Powers. Belgian Commissioners, bent
by the Provisional Government, arc expected in London.
They will then treat of important interests of our country
within the limits of their powers, corresponding with the
Provisional Government and the National Congress. I
need not add that the free navigation of the Scheldt is no
longer a question fur the five Great Powers. And in this
respect, concerning the execution of the conditions of the
armistice by Holland, the Congress and the country may
be certain that the Powers wiil act according to the prin-
ciples of honour and dignity. The merchants and manu-
facturers may make themselves easy ; the liberality Which
predominates in the political negociations will animate
with the same spirit the commercial relations between the
two countries. In short, gentlemen, it is now four months
since Belgium commenced its gloriousrevolution, and after
so short a space of time it sees itself, in consequence of the
adherence of the Provisional Government to the protocol
of the 17th of November, received into the great
European family as an independent Power. Such a result
needs no comment.
" Count Sebastiani announces to us in the confe.
rence, that we should soon have the honour to be pre-
sented to the King. But the urgency of affairs calling
me back to Belgium, M. Gemlebien will express to his
Majesty Louis Philip our gratitude for the noble attitude
which France has assumed in the interests of our country.
" There remains for Belgians a question of honour and
of immense importance, on which many strange supposi-
tines have already been made—l mean the choice of a
Prince. In this respect the National Congress perceives
that it is neither for the Provisional Government nor the
Diplomatic Committee to take the initiative ; but whet
both must do is, to be prepared to assist in the sequel the
determination of the Congress, which will know bow to
conciliate, by its choice, the interests of Europe with the
interests, the dignity, and the independence of Belgium.

BERLIN, Dec. 21.—News has been received here to-
day from Warsaw, that the Polish Deputation going to
St. Petersburgh had a conference at Wloda with the
Grand Duke Constantine, who received them kindly, and
gave them the assurance that he would second their appli-
cation to the best of his ability, and de every thing pos•
Bible to prevent the effusion of blood. Meantime the ar-
maments in Poland are continued with indefatigable zeal.
We expect here with great impatience the result of the
first deliberations of the Diet, which opened at Warsaw on
the 18th.

A commercial courier from Paris going to
Amaterdam, had been arrested at Breda by
General GE EN, and detained three hours. His
despatches had been taken from him, for which
a receipt was given him.

Accounts from Luxembourg state that an
order had arrived there from Frankfort to sus-
pend the works of that fortress ; accordingly,
all the workmen have been discharged.

Accounts from Antwerp state that up to the
24th December no vessels were in the Basin ;
and the Dutch were continuing to send vessels
to the citadel, but instead of their being entirely
laden with provisions, they contained merchan.
dize which was to be smuggled into the country.

We have given in another column some ac-
count of a Reform Meeting, which took place
at Carlisle. As the subject is now one of para-
mount importance, on which the middle and
even higher classes of society, in almost all the
provincial towns and cities of the kingdom, are
entering with a zeal, a rapidity, a determi-
nation wholly without parallel, we shall give
these meetings, from time to time, as space
and circumstances may warrant. Acting upon
this principle, we shall (to-morrow probably)
present our readers with a report of the great
Liverpool 'Reform meeting which, however, took
place a fortnight since, anti a very cursory sketch
of which appeared some few days since in The
Sun. We are desirous of giving a place in our
columns to the details of every Reform Meeting
throughout the United Kingdom, the question
being one on which the nation is unanimous
almost to a man. The following are the Reso-
lutions passed at the Reform Meeting held on
Thursday last at Gateshead :
First—Proposed by Mr. W. H. Brockett, seconded by
J. Price, Esq.
That the system of Representation, by which the House
of Commons is at present composed, is notoriously partial
and corrupt—a ♦iolation of the Constitution, and an odi•
one usurpation of public rights.
Second—Proposed by Abraham Dawson, Esq., se-
conded by John Erringtun, Esq.
That such a thorough and efficient Reform as shall
shorten the duration of Parliaments, extensively and
equitably diffuse the Elective Franchise, and at the same
time afford every facility and security in the exercise of
it, is now become indispensable, and ought to be firmly
demanded ; and that att a means of security, this meeting
recommends the system of Election by Ballot to the espe-
cial consideration of the Legislature.
Third—Proposed by Mr. T. K. Vile, and seconded by
J. Willis, Esq., that the following Petition be presented to
both Houses of Parliament.
Tnz PETITION or THE FREEHOLDERS, BOROUGH.
HOLDERS, FREEMEN, AND OTHER INHABITANTS
or TILE PARISHES or GATESHEAD AND GATES-
HEAD FELL.
Sheweth—That the very partial system of Representa-
tion by which the Commons House of Parliament is at
present composed, excludes a large portion of the commu-
nity from the benefits of the Constitution, thereby aliena-
ting and demoralising the minds of the lower classes, and
enabling a corrupt and wealthy oligarchy to obtain a
dangerous influence in the councils of the nation.
That your Petitioners are thoroughly convinced, that
such a Reform as shad shorten the duration of Parlia-
ments, extensively and equitably diffuse the Elective
Franchise, and at the same time afford every. facility and
security in the exercise of it, is now become indispensable
to the safety and welfare of the country ; and that as a
means of security, your Petitioners recommend the mode of
Election by Ballot, to the especial consideration of your

Honourable House.
Your Petitioners therefore humbly pray your Honourable
House to proceed immediately to the Investigation of the
subject, and to adopt a thorough and efficient Reform in
the Representation of the People.
And your Petitioners will ever pray.
Resolved, that the Petition be presented to the House
of Lords by Lord Durham, and to the House of Commons
by M. A. Taylor, Esq. ; and that the Members for the
County be especially requested to support the Petition.
The thanks of the meeting were then voted to the Rec-
tor, for the readiness with which he had acceded to the
request of the requisitionist., and to the Chairman, for his
able conduct in the Chair.
