serious character. Hitherto the disturbances have arisen
only from distinct grievances, each state acting only for
itself, without any general combination. But now a ge-
neral and well-founded cause of complaint appears to have
united 40 of the states in one movement, without which
success would have been impossible. The greater part. of
Germany has risen against the system pursued by the di.
rectors of the customs, which has deprived the country of
that freedom of trade so necessary for • the expansion of its
.resourcea. The following intelligence will be found truly
surprising, and which you will not find in the Austrian
Observer, or any other of the German papers. The people
of Vienna have revolted against the customs ; 8,000 men
have coalesced in order to release some smugglers who
have dared to act in opposition to the will of Prince Met.
ternieh. Discontent has begun to show itself at Frank-
fort.. The dearness of bread is the cause,' or rather the

pretext. One of our burgomasters was hung in effigy
this morning before the Hotel de Ville. May all these
events terminate to the advantage of the country, without
a repetition of those excesses which attended the first
symptoms of insurrection in Germany."
Extract of a letter of the 10th inst. from Madrid

" It is asserted that France, after having officially re-
cognised the independence of our former possessions in
America, will take upon herself the part of a mediator, to
induce Ferdinand to acknowledge it likewise, and to aban-
don all threats of attack upon them. This news, which
has been circulated for some days amongst the Apostolicals,
has thrown them into consternation. It appears that
Ministers intend to call into the Council of Castile two
Deputies from each province, and to make to them a frank
communication on the actual state of Europe, and on the
situation of the peninsula, with a view to ascertain the
opinion of this assembly, and to concert the mea-
sures calculated to insure the tranquillity and pros-
perity of Spain. Letters from Catalonia mention a po-
pular insurrection at Tarragona, which, however, had
been put down by the troops. Several mercantile men at
Madrid have sent off orders to Paris for the sale of all the

Rentes l'erpetuelles they held at any price. The company
of Chasseurs of the provincial militia of the Royal Guards,
that left Madrid for Arragun on the sth inst., has been
much reduced by desertion. Many of the men threw
down their arms, and returned home, because, having
served the limited time, they could not be compelled to re-
main longer. This desertion commenced as soon as it was
known that they were destined to guard the pass at Jaca
against the Constitutionalists."
Advices from Toulon of the 15th instant state, that
" when the Alper, bearing the flag of Admiral Duperre,
arrived in the roadstead all the ships fired a salute of nine
guns each. Numerous boats went off to the ship, or to
the lazaretto, and the Admiral was soon surrounded by his
friends and a crowd of his fellow-citizens. Flags were
displayed from many of the windows in honour of his safe
arrival. it appears, from the accounts brought by the
crew, that when General de Bourmont departed from
Algiers, he was attended to the quay by about a dozen
officers. lie was accompanied only by his secretary and
two of his sons, and appeared to be greatly depressed.
General Clause!, before be landed, paid a visit to ♦dmiral
Duperre, with his whole staff. Their conference was very
long, and from the 2d to the Bth the Admiral went re-
peatedly to the General's quarters to concert future mea-
sures."

The following is an extract of a private letter from Al-
giers, dated September 6 t—" The usual preparations
were made this year for celebrating .the feast of Mahomet,
which takes place on the let of September. The pre..
ceding night is devoted to pleasure; but these people are
so dull, that, with the exception of the shops remaining
open, and a few lamps being scattered about the masques,
there were no signs of extraordinary joy. Our soldiers
were full of expectation that they should find some great
amusement at the festival ; but they had only the choice
of joining in the silent contemplation to which all the true
believers gave themselves up amidst the smoke of their
pipes, or of retiring to their beds; the latter they did not
hesitate to adopt. The Government paid its tribute to
the memory of the Prophet by setting all the prisoners at
liberty. The Dey has written from Naples to Algiers,
soliciting an annual pension, as absolutely necessary for
his support, This singular step, taken by a man who
carried away with him 40,000,000 of francs in gold,
silver, and jewels, reminds one of Ali Paella of Janina,
who was used to clothe himself in the garb of a beggar,
and place himself at the door of his palace, to beg alms
of the persons passing, saying, ' Pray remember poor Ali.'
Fourteen. lions or lionesses, forming part of the menigerie
of the Dey of Algiers, were embarked, on the Ist instant,
for France. They are destined for the Garden of Plante
at Paris."

The Neapolitan Government has decided upon permit-
ting all vessels sailing'under the tri-coloured flag to enter
the ports of the kingdom.
The Piedmont Gazette states that the King of Sar-
dinia left Turin on the I I th instant far his seat at Gavana.
The Gazette does not mention ►he motive for this journey.
Count Nesse!rode left Berlin for St. Petersburgh on the
13th instant, on which day he received despatches from
the Russian Court.
The war of the opposition against the party of the revo-
lution becomes every day more active: it must be ob-
served that the Journal des Debuts alone makes this con-
test its exclusive business. The Constitutionnel, the
Courtier, the Globe, the Temps, and the National, in
attacking the Ministry, all occasionally 'haw by their com-
plaints that they are themselves attacked,:and in point of
fact La Revolution, La Tribune, and Le Patriots are
as far removed from these journals, as these journals are
distant from the Journal des Debuts.' Thus the move-

. _
inent is made as in time past by three grand divisions,
which represent the periodical press : the extreme left,
the left, and the left centre.

In long journier the tail is ever out of humour With the
head, and the remonstrances of the Journal des Delmar
with the•van that drags it along testify its anger and im-
patience, it now desires to injure those who it despairs of
convincing, and finding it impossible to arrest them by its
logic, it clearly wishes to incense its readers against them ;
despairing of being itself able to stop those who run
N.) quickly, it seems to cry out to the passengers, " Hair,
halt."

We cannot, without deep regret, behold a society re-
duced to a situation so violent, that people are obliged to
struggle all their days with the force of circumstances,
and that the necesiities of the body are irreconcileable
with truth and sound reason.

The Gazette then proceeds to extract two articles—one
from the Journal des Debats, the other from La Tri-
bune des .Departmens, and which it declares will be suf-
ficient to show under what disadvantages of position and
reasoning the opposition contends with the party of the
revolution.
