THE POPULAR SOCIETIES OF PARIS.

- --- -
These societies are called popular, because they
have adopted for the basis of their political discus-,
sions the principle of the sovereignty of the people—
because their doctrines in legislation, administration,
and political economy, have for their object to de-
fend the interests of the people against the privi-
leges and the oppressions of every kind of aristocracy.
Such has been the spirit of the motions and dig-
cussions. But hitherto, at least, these societies have
had nothing popular either in their composition or
their audience. The members are for the most part
young men, burning with an inextinguishable desire.
for social improvements—ambitious, certainly, but
at least thoroughly convinced of the soundness of their
doctrines. This conscientious enthusiasm renders
them much more intolerant to their adversaries, and,
if you will, more dangerous than if they were, as was
at first supposed, mere mischief-makers and in-
triguers. As for the hearers, they are idle or curious
persons, who go there as they would to a play : no
workmen are yet seen there.
The following are the popular societies at present
organized in Paris :-
1. The Lodge of the Friends of Truth.--A
great number of ancient Carbonari are members of
it. The subaltern ace!' Dories belonged to it.
This lodge proposed the funeral ceremony an honour
of the • four interesting -victims 'of the plot of La
Rochelle. This lodge hardly retains it•ShlldOW of
masonic forms. Many visitere are admitted at every
sitting. Questions of general and special politics
are discussed in it.
" 2. The Society Aide-toi le del l'akkra.—,—lt is
known all over France, and by its connexions with
the Electoral Committee in all the departments, it ,
may be said to have made the late elections.
more moderate than the other societies,.
" 3. The Central Constitutional Society, foomleo
by Protestants; its politics are a mixture of, Optth-
liennitim and mysticism. • .
" 4. The Society of the Three Days, to be a
member of which it is necessary to have been an
actor and combatant on the 27th, 28th„ end 22th
of July.
" 5. The St. Sinsonian Society, • an economical
and religious sect, which preaches a kingdom of this
world to the poor, to' consist in the tabolitien of
,the
principle of inheritance; and the distribution of pro-
perty, dignities, and employments, according to the
capacity of every one. This republic . will be go.
verned by a Pope and. is wife : the former imbued
with the spirit of love nod of labour—the latter
endowed with the expansive and prophetic s irit.

(From the Tempe, Sept. 27. )
DIPLOMACY.

A new event now invites our attention—an event
concerning us so nearly, that it behoves us to exa-
mine it. with reference to the *real influence of di-
plotnacy•
At the period when the House of Austria lost
the Low Countries, she perceived she had but one
means of preserving Belgium • that was, to excite
between the Dutch and the ielgians all those anti-
pathies which spring from religious opinions. In
effecting this no pains were spared. Thus the union
of the two people has never been aimed at, nor even
desired by themselves in any way. •
However, the union was dictated by the will of
the Holy Alliance, from motives which had ne re-
ference either to Holland or Belgium, but to the
combinations directed against France. Ever since
this mixture of two countries, under the same Go-
vernment, and under the same laws, the antipathy
between them constantly increased, till in the end
they split. They are totally irreconedeable, and
must be separated; for if they form a single people,
and fight together, they must be in a state of civil
war—a civil war of a very peculiar character, the
Government fighting at the head of one nation
against another nation which thies not deny its so-
vereignty. If the party headed by the Government
triumph, it can never more retain the conquered
party by a union, but must do so by the authority
which is !he consequence of victory, and of which it
is not difficult to foresee the results. _

After such a victory it would be a mockery to in-
vite the Belgians into assemblies where Dutch inte-
rests are decided. What then will they do If
Dutchmen only. are called,to the councils, they will
then have to decide upon the interests of. the con-
quered Belgians. This idea is insupportable, and
would tall forth the sympathy of all the liberal
nations of Europe. The beat way then, and the way.
which always best flatters power, would be neither
to convoke the one nor the other party ; and thus
the Ilollandere themselves will lose the forms of a
free government. Though they do not seem to pos-
sess much, of It at present, their regret would not
be long in displaying itself.
Trance has thrown off the yoke of an old Govern-
meat, which separated her from the great interests
of Europe much more than the strong places raised
by the Holy Alliance upon the frontiers of Belgium
next us. The insurrection of the Belgians followed
so close upon otir own political emuttetpution, that
though we neither had a hand in it, nor in the other
risings which have broken out in different countries
on the news of our revolution, it k impossible but
that old Europe will condemn us for exercising upon
nations such a powerful moral inthience, notwith-
standing that there existed no intention on our part
of doing so. Vrom the time that this influence me-
naced the derangement of ancient mid tyrannic com-
binations, Europe considered us to blame for the
events which had already happened, and still more
so for events of a higher importance- which tright
possibly happen. This, however, did not - prevent
our Government from being 'recognized. Nothing
on our part was or could be .taken for a contrary
disposition. 'Beery thing passed so quick pith us,
and the old Court was at once so imprudent end so
weak, that
.diplomacy had no time either to foresee
or to reflect.
The best course, then, was 4 recognition, of which
the effect would be to prevent the excitement 'of
minds in Vrance; fur all excitement in a nation so
poptiloes° as ours alwayS leads ir, for the gratifica-
tion of national vanity, to a wish to make an essay of
its powers.
We do not desire the union of Belgium with
prance; we should have more need to colonize a
country than to join to us a country where people
are not wanted. But we should desire that Belgium,
which borders upon us, should live under free in-
stitutions, because the sympathy between free people
is a guarantee against the projects •of absolute Go-
vernments.
War has broken out between the Dutch and Bel-
gians. If the Belgians succumb under the domina-
tion
of the Dutch,, mast certainly we shell low
somewhat of our internal security.. This is a ge•
neral prognostic. In losing some of our internal
security, it is probable we shall he constrained to
adopt a line of policy which will array against
.us
an incalculable force; and Europe has an anticipe-
tion of this.
It is, then, between these two anticipations, or,
to speak !Imre plainly, between these two apprehen-
sions, thet diplomacy is culled upon to act at this
juncture.
Instead of preceding the events, the has followed
them. We may then be author;zed in believing
that diplomacy is more a thing of apparent than of
real-influence, or that she•thinks it right to make an
experiment Upon the Belgians of what force may do
against other emancipation& In the first; ease, di-
plomacy will fall in the opinion oldie people; in the
second, far from seeming calculated to conciliate their
interests, she will become withAem the just subject
of suspicion.

(Frans the National.)

The Dutch troops have been chased from BM..
ads, after a contest, during which they attempted
to set fire to the city. The inhabitants of the
country pursue them lit ti,body with the most de-
termined vengeance. Mons and Namur are in a state
of complete insurrection. The inhabitants of Mans
have expelled the garrison. On all sides the cause
of the Belgiane is triumphant.
This news arrived in the course of the day through
a channel of which there can be no doubt, and the
Government have received despatches which con-
firm them.

EVENTS AT BRUSSELS.

The number of the Royal troops who entered
'Brussels on the 23d amounted to 7,000.

The body or troops which entered the park was
attacked by the workmen, and subjected to SD ob-
stinate discharge of musketry for eleven hours. The
King's military corps sustained the fire of its as-
seilants fora considerable timc • They bad six
pieces or cannon, which committed great havoc.
Four hundred volunteers arrived yesterday from

this morning—the noise of the artillery continues,
and has a most terrific effect. The workmen have
seised upon six pieces of and return the fire

for the last 48 hours. The workmen have lost al-
ready 800 men between killed and wounded. To-
dq, at three o'clock, one-ballot the park was taken
potisassion of by the workmen.
• The Liegeois fought like lions. The environs of
the park'Were in a state of great alarm during the
night. • The park is literally strewed with soldiers.

The workmen, who have conducted themselves
with such bravery, have not yet had any chief; they
were led on by their courage alone. A Provisional
Government is preparing, and has this day been ap-
pointed. It is composed of the Baron d'Hoogvoorst,
NI. Itugier, an advocate of Liege, and a person
named Capin, a native of .Brussels.
At half-past three the troops were driven back to
the extremity of the pink. It is thought they will
endeavour to effect 'their retreat through the Lou.

CRAMER. OF DEPUTIES, PARIS, SIKM.-28.

M. LAtte—The order of the duy is the discus-
sion eoncerninx the report of the Commission of
'AcCusation. The totality of the Chambers amounts
to 311 members; 89 have ceased to form a part of
it, either on account of double elections, or in con-
sequence of the annulling of their elections, or, in
fine, from different other reasons. The majority of
•the Chamber is therefore 1'72, anti the whole as-

sembly of more than 172 members.
The Chamber of Deputies accuses of high trer.-
son M. de Perormet, one of the ex-Ministers who
signed the ordinance's of the 25th of July :
" lot,—For having taken advantage of his autho-
rity to falsify the elections, and deprive the citizens
of the free exercise of their civic rights."
M. Boisbertrand—fentlemen, you have already
listened with attention to the words of one of my
honourable friends in favour of one of the ex-Minis-
ters. Ile has effected what 1 intended to do; for I

also had to fulfil the duties of friendship Inwards a
man who is generally esteemed by those who know
him,--(Murmurs from the left.)—The orator does
not pretend to do away the aversion entertained
against the ex-Ministers : such' an attempt would
indeed be presumptuous, and, like my Hon. Friend
M. flerryer, I have to fear that my voice will ap-
pear suspicious in this assembly—(Oh! oh 1)---but
I should ever feel: the stings of conscience were I

not to declare, at this critical moment, that M. dc
Peyrounet, on re-appearing on the political stage,
told me that his formal intention was to govern ac
cording to the laws, and to respect all the public
liberties. Till the fatal days of July list, his lan-
guage was constantly the same, and I can only ex-
plain his fatal adhesion to the acts of the 25th of
July, by attribiting it to the noble firmness of a
generous mind, who hazards 411 not to appear under
the thraldom of fear.

Amonght the accusations of your commission,
there are especially three against M. de Peyronnet.
Allow me to answer them in a few words.

The honourable reporter has observed the coinci-
dence between the sending of the leltres-closes,and'
the dissolution of the Chambers,--a coincidence
which seems to denote a reel snare laid for the de-
pities of France. I shall not examine whether it is
proper to account for inferences, but I entreat you
to consider whether It would not have been easier
and less dangerous to arrest each deputy at home,
than in the midst of the capital, in presence of a
formidable population, and under the eyes of a
powerful body, ready to assemble to anathematize
the imprudent man who would thus have violated
the most precious of its, privileges.
• The second accusation speaks of the projects of
law presented to the Chambers by M. tie Payronnet.
A project of law is not a fact as long as it has not
been suctioned by the legislative body, and human
justice only punishes Itcts, not thought, nor pro-
jects. Therefore, if a project of law is not adopted,
it is really nothing, at least before justice. If it is
sanctioned by the Chamber it becomes their work.
In regard to the destitutions effected et the mo-
ment of the elections, one day, perhaps, we may
have the right to judge actions of such a nature with
severity ; in such matters all depends on the opi-
nions generally manifested—(Murmurs)—the total
independence of the functionaries may become a po-
litical doctrine ; but this doctrine cannot yet be
much respected amongst us, and the present Go-
vernment would perhaps be indeed imprudent
were it to consider the faculty of dismissing the
public functionaries as attacking the constitutional
rights.
The Deputies then proceeded to vote; the left
and the centres voted for the accusation. About 15
Members of the right voted against the accusation.
• The President then read the second paragraph,
which was as follows : _ . .

" For having violently changed the institutions of
the kingdom.' —Adopted without discussion.
3d,—For having conspired against the internal
security of the kingdom,"—Adopted.

" 4tll,—For buying excited civil war by arm

the citizens against each other, and given rise to tire
deva-tation of the capittil and some of the provinces."
—Adopted.

The Chamber accuses M. de Peyronnet of high
"reason, and impeaches him before the Chamber of
Peers.

The same accusation is proposed against M. de
Chute!mac.

M. Tardy, elected by the same department as M.
de Chantelauze, maintained that it was impossible
for his colleague to be treacherous to his country.
A criminal is culpable from his intention alone, and
Providence always allows those intentions to he ma-
nifested.
Ambition is in general the sole cause of
political crimes, and the only occupation of M. de
Chantelauze was to fulfil the duties of a father and a
husband. " I know very well," continued the ora-
tor, " that he drew up the report that caused the
ordinances; but it is also known that he did it from
notes which were cpmmunicated to him. The 14th
Article deceived the Ministers, and the !interpreta-
tion of that article was unfavourable to M. de Chan.
telanze; but no one will maintain that error is
treachery."
M. de Leyval spoke in favour of M. de Chante-
lauze, and declared that he had heard him say that
our institutions were absolutely necessary to the
country ; and the greatest misfortune for him would
be to become a member of any Ministry. The
speaker represented M. tie Chantelauze struggling
during the months which
against his fatal destiny'
preceded his nomination.
M. tie Tracy praised the intentions of those who
had just spoken, hut he said that it was impossible
to forget that the accused Minister had said in the
ChaMber itself, that a monarchical 6th of Septem-
ber was indispensable.--(Murmurs.)
The four articles of the accusation were then
voted and adopted.

The President then announced, that M, Cre-
mieux, defender of M. Guernon Renville, had sent
to the Chamber a few observations in his favour.
M. Laitte asked if the Chambers wished them
to be read.
At the extreme left—No, no.
M. Berryer spoke in favour of the ex-Minister,
and maintained Out a culprit ought always to be
heard, whatever he had to say.
The Chamber consented to the reading of the
observations.
M. Benner, reporter of the Commission, then
read the observations of M. Cremieux.
The Chamber then voted the accusation of M.
Guernon de Renville in the same terms as the pre-
ceding ; however, the last article of the accusation
give rise to some observations.
M. Duvergier de lieuranne observed that he en-
tertairied some doubts relative to the last article, for
this one ought only to be applied to the Ministers
who had-attended the Council in which Paris was
declared to be besieged. M. de Ilauranne said that
ha had heard that M. du Renville was not present

at the Council ; he was therefore of opinion that the
last article might not to be applied to that Minister.
M. Marshal replied that even supposing this to be
the ease, M. tle Ranville was btill criminal of having
contributed to cause civil war, and therefore the last
article was applicable to him as well as the other
Ministers of Charles X.
