FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the lifessuger des Chambres of Sept. 5.)

PARIS, SEPT. 3.
Serious disturbances have
,already taken place in
the department of the Arriege: they have just broken
out again with fresh violence. The peasants of se-
veral communes have risen, not with the noble am-
bition of reconquering their rights, but for the pur-
pose of violating the rights of others.
Great excesses have been committed : a chateau,
some private houses, and manufactories have been
pillaged, burnt, or demolished. An honourable citi-
zen, M. de Vendemoi; has been kept captive three
days by these wretch's,' They say that their hatred
is directed against smelting-houses and forests. As
for the former, there is no motive, theswestablish-
menu being almost the sole resources of a poor de-
partment, which only abounds in iron mines, The
cede of forest laws, legally voted and promulgated,
is said to affect the interests of our mountaineers.
Let no tithe be lost in modifying it in any particu-
lars that may be "unjust, --but mean time let it' not
serve as a preterit for such acts of violence,. Seve,
rat proprietors, terrified' or constrained, have thonght
that they could not save themselves frau* greater.
misfortunes except by subscribing to all conditiOna
required of them.
The numbernf.. the peasants and their disposi-
tions on the 27th in the morning, excited great fears
for the town of Tarrriscon; several of the inhabi-
tants have fled, carrying with them their most va-
luable effects. M. Gauja, lately appointed Prefect
of the Arriege, has Net out without delay to pro-
ceed to his post. Let us hope that he will succeed
in restoring order.
It is stated that the King of the Netherlands said
to the Liegeoise deputation, that he would rather
dismiss twenty Ministers than see a single drop of
his people's blood flow.
The sum of 980 francs has been forwarded to M.
Benjamin Constant., for the victims of the events of
Paris. This'sum is the produce of collections made
in several of the communes of the Lower Rhine.

The public tranquillity, which has been disturbed
for these last two days by journeymen printers, or
those calling themselves such, is now nearly restored.
The menaces held out by placing some of the papers
in the dilemma of not being able to make use of
their mechanical presses have ceased. Should they
be renewed the authorities will take proper means
to prevent any further attempts against personal pro-
perty and free industry. The following letter, which
we have received from M. Girod de l'Ain, gives us
that assurance. We take the earliest opportunity of
publishing it :

"TO TILE EDITOR OF THE MESSAGER DES CHAMBRES.
"Paris, Sept. 3.
" have the honour to inform you, that
the public authorities have taken every precaution
in their power to ensure the working of your presses,
and that they expect to succeed. Should their at-
tempt prove fruitless, and that you should not be
able to print your paper, it would be necessary that
you should write to the postmasters in the depart-
ments, to inform them of the momentary cause which
prevents your journal from appearing, and tranquil-
lize them on the present state of Paris; also request
of them to deny all the rumours that may have been
set afloat' by ill-disposed persons.
" Accept, Sir, the assurance of my consideration.
" Counsellor of State Prefet, GIROD (de l'Ain)."

A commission, having for its object the recog-
nition of the South American States, and the com-
mercial and political relations necessary to be entered
into with them, is composed of the Count Molt%
Lufitte, Mauguin, and Lafayette.
A telegraphic despatch has announced that fresh
disturbances had broken out at Nismes. General
Solignac has received, it is said, orders to take the
command of that military division. In other parts
serious troubles had also taken place. At Issoundun
they refused to pay the excise duties (imp6is in-
directs). At Rochefort the presence of General
Despinois had created some tumultuous scenes. At
Metz, Sarregaemines' Pont a Mousson, and Ilefort,
several regiments had driven away those officers
whom they did not consider sufficiently devoted to
the new order of things.
_

These irregular ads, although they may be dic-
tated by a blinded patriotism, give a fatal blow to
public confidence, and tend to suspend the establish-
ment of public order and security, without which
there would be no possible prosperity for France.
It is most urgent that Government should take
prompt measures to calm the exaltation of feelings
and to repress the efforts of malice.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FRENCH FEELING AND THAT

OF OVUM NATIONS.

There is no doubt in French organization, and in
our impressions, something more general than is
found elsewhere. It would seem to be necessary
that the scientific, philosophical, and political symp-
toms should first enter our heads, in order that they
should there assume the form requisite to procure
their adoption in places which have not been the
seat of their existence. From this we conclude that
any thing which would be appropriate for us would
necessarily satisfy foreigners, and that the ideas
which the mass of our population had imbibed would
be sure in all cases to lead to conquest. It was an-
flounced that the movement to which France owes
her regeneration was about to be re-produced at
Turin, Naples, Madrid, &c., before any thing was
thought of the difference of climate, of geographical
position, and, above all, of civilization. All these
illusions are very excusable, since they emanate from
a generous sentiment, which wishes the whole uni-
verse to partake of our joy. It is, however, neces-
sary to guard against the errors to which it might
give rise.
Certainly the blow struck at Paris will resound
afar, but the progress of its effects will be much
slower, and will also be consonant with public feel-
ing; for every revolution which aspires to lasting
results should have operated upon the mind before
it has openly manifested itself. Various statements
worthy of credit agree in representing Piedmont to
be now in a state of tranquillity, and that the King
has become less absolute in his opinions; that Naples
has not been overturned, but that changes are in
operation ; that tranquillity reigns at Madrid, but
that the Government is adopting a moderate course,
and that new appointments to high employments
confirm these hopes. The language of the Spanish
Ambassador affords ground for hope that the
Apostolical Party will no longer have the prepon-
derance at his Court. A single glance,
however,
will convince us of the strength of the barriers which
still divide nations.
When the Parisian populace rose, one single idea
seemed to actuate 800,000 heads; the whole city
formed but one family. Brussels desires to repel
the oppression of an odious system ; but indivi-
duals are animated by private hatreds—the different
classes are jealous and fearful—the people commit
excesses, and the bourgeois take up arms against
them, and repress their ardour. Paris has saved
France, but does not wish to make a merit of it.
Ghent has merely obeyed the impulse, and aspires to
deprive Brussels of its privileges. Liege hoists the
communal colours. In France, on . the contrary,
every thing has an aspect of unanimity. In Belgium
all is indecision, meanness, private, exclusive--and
yet the country is et mu. gates, was for twenty years
governed by our laws, and also speaks our language.
Let us then cease froth wishing to make those
people, who are less advanced in the career, march
in the same step with us. Let them pursue 4 system
