OF THE COUNCIL OF STATE.

There is activity in the Government, as the full
columns of the Afoniteur daily prove; but are the
objects of this activity well chosen ? For example,
was there nothing more pressing than the re-compo-
sition of the Council of State in the midst of the ur-
gency of so many other wants ? We firmly believe
it, and, as we wish to inform the Government and
not to embarrass it, we will not enumerate all these
thousand things which should have excited its soli-
citude rather than the Council of State.
In our opinion the Council of State is a useful in-
stitution of which liberty itself may make use, but
it requires other bases. It was judicious and rea-
sonable to appoint a Commission as has been done,
because this Commission may, by its labours, justify
the institution in the eyes of well-disposed persons,
and give to the Council of State pledges of inde-
pendence calculated to efface unpleasant recollections.
It wus by no means politic not to wait till the
principles of an institution were laid down, before
choosing the persons of whom it was to be com-
posed. You do not know what the Council of
State will be, and you nominate Counsellors of
State. This too much resembles the ancient mania
of seeing in public offices only positions for friend-
ship, and even for talent.
ALGIERS, Auu. 3.—The son of General Bout-
mont has returned from Oran, where the Bey is in.
vested in the city by the Cabailes and the Turks,
who will not acknowledge the King of France. Yes-
terday the 21st Regiment of the line marched for
Oran, with u company of artillery, two field pieces,
and 50 sappers. Already, at the time that young
M. de Bourmont was before Oran, 50 sailors had
taken, partly by surprise and partly because they
were not resisted, the fort of Mers-el.Kibir, which
is three leagues from Oran, and commands the har-
bour. We hope a good issue of this expedition,
which is confided to Colonel Goutfray, of the 21st.
The vessels which carry it are the Syrene, the
Didon, and Iphigenie.
Not a word is known of the return of the General-
in-Chief
to France. However, some preparations
for embarking the horses seem to indicate, that if no
news has been received, it is every moment expected.
TOULON, Auu. 14.—The following news, which
I hasten to communicate to you, has just been spread.
60,000 Bedouins have come to attack Algiers.
General Berthezene put himself at the head of 15,000
men and repulsed them.
PARIS, AUG. 23.—The 21Ioniteur of to-day con-
tains an Ordinance of the King nominating M.
O'Dillon Banat, Prefect of the department of the
Seine.

The Moniteur of Monday contains a letter from
Ajaccio, in Corsica, dated Aug. 11, which describes
the joy that had been excited there by the news of
the late events in France. The whole city imme-
diately displayed the tri-coloured flag, and there had
been illuminations every evening. A commission,
composed of Members of the Municipal Council,
was engaged in organizing a national guard, The
public tranquillity had not been a moment inter-
rupted. A deputation of the principal Council of
Ajaccio had addressed a letter on the 10th, to Ge-
neral Faverot, remonstrating with him on his not
having declared his obedience to the new Govern-
ment, and his still suffering a flag to be displayed on
the citadel of Ajaccio alone, which ►s not the flag of
Gemappe, or of Ileums, of Arcola, or of Lodi, and
which has just been stained at Paris by the purest
French blood. They inform him that if he longer
defers to acknowledge the Government of France,
the inhabitants of the department cannot any longer
consider him us commander of the 17th military

This remonstrance had the desired effect, the tri-
coloured flag having been hoisted on the citadel at
three o'clock in the afternoon of the I I th.

The Moniteur gives likewise an account of the
proclamation of the Kingat Toulouse,and at Amiens.
(From the Journal des ;Details.)
PAins, Auu. 23.—We have received from the
Minister of War the two following notes :
_

" It is deemed necessary to notify that, agreeably
to the existing regulations, every officer, general,
superior, or otherwise, who absents himself, or leaves
France for a foreign country, without the King's
permission, is, by so doing, considered as dismissed
and erased from the rolls of the army."
Letters from the department of the North state,
that the Chateau of the Hermitage, near Conde, has
become the rendezvous of many personages of the
late Court the petit Cobleraz of the Revolution
of MO.

The Chateau of the Hermitage communicates by
the wood with that of the Prince de Leigne and the
Chateau of ltoelux. After the 'Tuileries, a spot
more convenient and better situated for conspiring,
without quitting the soil of France, cannot be found.
An extraordinary activity is remarked around the
residence of Messrs. de Croi, and the peaceable in-
habitants of this frontier are perhaps surprised and
alarmed at the sight of the numerous couriers who
continually arrive from the interior and foreign parts.
But these peaceable inhubitunts of our frontier
may be quite easy : France, which has been
&pitted by the noblest and the most energetic re-
sit,tance to the attacks of a conspiring power, does
not fear that the intrigues of the Hermitage will re-
new, in 1830, the Congress of Pilnitz. She wishes
w be at peace with her neighbours: strong in her
love of order, unanimous in the imperturbable reso-
lution of preserving the liberty she has conquered,
site will not be alarmed at this new focus of intrigue.
This men who have lost the monarchy of Charles X.
cannot fled ht Europe either support or sympathy.
Their hopes and their projects are no longer of our
„ge, But intrigue constitutes their whole existence,
and conspiracy • their devotion. They will be ob-
served without anxiety.
The following appears in the Gazettede Tribu.

Chantelause ; sth to M. de Montbel ; 6th, to Baron
Capelle; 7th, to 111, Guernon-Ranville, late Minis-
ters of the Ex-King Charles X., to appear within
eight days before the President and Judges com-
posing the civil tribunal of the First Instance of the
Department of the Seine, for that whereas the
above-named did, on the 25th July last, sign, as Mi-
nisters of the Ex-King, certain Ordinances, illegal
and contrary to the laws of the State; that with
the view of causing the said Ordinances to be carried
into execution, they had recourse to an armed force;
" That it is a matter of public notoriety,—to wit,
after the interview which took place between M.
Lafitte and several other Deputies on the one part,
and the Duke of Ragusa, commandant of the armed
force, on the other part,—that it was in compliance
with orders emanating from the Ministers that the
armed force committed acts of violence, which
caused the death of a great number of citizens; that
it is proved that, to wit on the 27th of July, the
armed force fired upon the people, without any pro-
vocation whatever thereto; that according to the
result of a proces verbal, drawn up by the Com-
missary of Police, of the quarter Feydeau, the afore-
named Gerard, husband of the requisitionist, was
struck, on the 27th of July, by a shot in the chest
which caused his death, at the moment when the
said Gerard was quitting his work to go home;
" That this murder, which has plunged into
misery the family of the Sieur Gerard, by whose
labour they were solely supported, was the result
of the sanguinary orders given to the armed force
by the Sieurs Polignac, Peyronnet, and others, in
the capacity of Ministers of the Ex-King Charles
X.; that in the terms of the 13th article of the old
Charter, the Ministers were responsible ; that this
responsibility ought to apply as well to crimes com-
mitted against the State as against citizens; that
the tenour of article 13 above mentioned of the old
Charter suffices to justify a civil suit against the
Sieurs Polignac and his accomplices by the widow
Gerard, on account of the murder committed on the
person of her husband;
" That, moreover, agreeably to article 117 of the
Penal Code, damages may be sought either by cri-
minal prosecution or by a civil process; that, agree-
ably to article 1382 of the Civil Code, any act of
man which causes injury to another, obliges him by
whom the injury is done to repair it; that, agree-
ably to article 183 of the same Code, every one is
responsible for the injury he has caused, not only by
his own act, but by his negligence or his impru-
dence; that, combining these two articles with
article 13 of the old Charter, which renders Mi-
nisters responsible, the present is a case, by reason of
facts before stated, of applying the same;
" That, moreover, the Sieurs Polignac and the
others, cannot allege, in exception, their capacity of
late Ministers in opposition to the suit against them,
now instituted by the requisitionists; that the law
which submits to the previous authority of the
Council of State prosecutions against public func-
tionaries had principally in view to withdraw them
from prosecutions which, either malevolently or
otherwise, might be formed against them, but that
where there has been a flagrant crime and public
clamour, the authority of the Council of State is not
necessary, and the tribunals may validly take cog-
nizance thereof :

" The defendants are jointly and severally con-
demned in 25,000 francs damages, without prejudice
to suits against all other depositaries' of the public
force."

Letters from Lisbon, dated the 7th instant, state,
that on the sth Don Miguel had left Queluz for
Glides, accompanied by his sister, Donna Maria, as
well as several personages of the Court, and at-
tended by a large detachment of cavalry : nume-
rous bodies of troops had been stationed, en echellon,
on the route he was to traverse. The Duke de
Cadaval had been entrusted by Don Miguel with
the direction of the affairs of state during his ab-
sence. The first measure adopted by the Duke
was to order that during the night the troops of
the garrieon in the capital should hold themselves in
readiness in their barracks to act on the first signal;
the chief of the police has also received particular
instructions. The arrival of an extraordinary
courier from Madrid, in great baste, in the night of
the Gth and 7th, had occasioned a meeting of the
Council of Ministers, to which the Lieutenant-
General of the Police had been summoned. At the
close of this Council a courier was despatched to
Caldas.

The Portuguese frigate Diana has anchored in
the Tagus, from St. Michael, with 43 of the crews
of the two English vessels captured by the naval
force blockading Terceira, which arrived a few days
ago at Lisbon. These 43 Englishmen will be con-
fined in the prison of the galley-slaves of La Trafaria.
Recent letters from Oporto, received at Lisbon,
report that popular assemblages had taken place at
the faubourg of St. Catherine, and that the troops
sent to disperse them had some difficulty to effect it.
A petition presented yesterday to M. Debelleyme,
President of the Tribunal of the First Instance, will
necessarily be followed by a very singular process.
It will be recollected that on the day of St. Henry
the colliers of Paris were admitted to the Court of
St. Cloud, and that a man in their ranks, and wear-
ing their costume, invited Charles X., in a short
speech, to become a collier,—that is to say, to make
himself master in his own house. The whole body
of courtiers marvelled at this speech, which was re-
presented as the unanimous wish of the whole po-
pulation of Paris. The brave colliers were conducted
immediately to Sevres, with their banner displayed,
and they were treated at Legris's, the restaurateur,
with a splendid feast. Nothing was wanting but the
payment of the bill; but M. Legris knew the cus.
tom in such cases, and waited payment of his 1,200
francs out of the privy purse. The recent events,
however, in overwhelming with joy M. Lagris, as
they have done other true Frenchmen, left some
serious uneasiness in his mind respecting the pay-
ment of the treat. The colliers declare they did
not order it; and the Prefect of Police cannot sanc-
tion the legitimacy of the claim. M. Legris has,
therefore, presented an application to the President
to put a stop, to the extent of 1,200 francs, upon
the salary of M, Peilhes, Inspector-General of Na-
vigation, by whom, ho maintains, the banquet was
ordered.

(From the Constitutiannel.)

We learn from Bayonne that numbers of Jesuit
Priests are daily passing through that town on their
way to Spain.

The Pilole du Calvados gives the following de-
tails respecting M. de Polignac, under the date of
Caen, Aug. 20 :—" The Ex-Minister halted in this
town on his way to Pads. Detachments of the Na-
tional Guard of Caen are to escort him to Lisieux,
and several young citizens are preparing to accom-
pany him all the way to Paris. After the report of
his approaching arrival at Caen was circulated, great
crowds of people daily occupied the road through
which he had to pass ; and we must do our fel-
low-citizens the justice to say that this great cri-
minal had nothing to fear from the general indigna•
tion which his guilty conduct has excited through-
out the country. We are also boiled to declare all
sincerely pray that he may receive, in a legal and
solemn manner, the punishment due for his offences.
Marshal Meilen, on his return from Cherbourg,
whither he had accompanied Charles X. ns one of
the Commissioners of the Government, had several
interviews with M. de Polignac. The Ex-Minister
constantly protested against his arrest, and seemed
persuaded that no penal proceedings could reach
him. Without endeavouring to dissipate these illu-
sions, the Marshal confined himself to recommending
that the prisoner should be treated with every con-
sideration consistent with his situation, llis orders
for this purpose had been anticipated.
The three-decker now building at Cherbourg forms
a page in the history of France. This beautiful
vessel, when laid on the stock in lsl2, received the

name of the presumptive heir of the crown of the
French empire, and was called The King
9f Rolm
In 1814, great was the eagerness to make every
thing disappear that brought to recollection the Im-
perial Government, in particular proscribed otunee,
and the ship was christened the Igilexihk. Napoleon
returned from Elba in 1815, and the King of lone
reigned again until the end of the hundred days,
when the name ity'lexible was resumed. Bot'when
the Child of the Miracle, as the author of the OW
called him, was born, the flatterers re•baptived the
vessel the Duie of Bordeaux. Finally, still follow
ing the fortune of France, the Duke of Pordr,viii
dismissed from the stern, and the vessel le now Ca'
secreted to the laurels of Friedland.
