PARIS, JUNE 20.

(From the Times.) •
A year has nbt elapsed since our revolution, and every
one is already dissatisfied with its results. Public distress
is making an alarming'progress, and the discontent of all
duxes of society seems incapable of increase.
The King has few partisans, and the small number of
his.supporters is daily decreasing. 'M. de Lafayette has
within these few days published a sort of manifesto of his
opinion•, in which the King certainly will not participate.
Our King is a worthy man, and though he is rather too
lavish of his public oratory, his speeches best the mark
of talent. He is, however, ill repaid for the zeal with
which he embraced the revolution. All the Journals
now labour at the destruction of royalty—some with the
view of bringing back the exiled family, but the greater
number for the irrevocable abolition of monarchy. They
therefore inveigh, strongly against the peerage, and insist
on the candidates for the nos; Chamber obeying the in-
structions of the electors for the abrogation of hereditary
legislators. The 221 formerly so extolled, have, with. the
exception of a few, lost their popularity, and are now held
up to public reprobation. The Ministers, and in parti-
cular M. Casimir Perier, are daily libelled. The Juries
are terrified, and uniformly acquit all persons brought be-
fore them for political offences. Juries are even exposed
to acts of violence, if they do not acquit political offenders
with sufficient promtitude. The National Guard alone
is respected, but it has lately had much disagreeable ser-
vice, arid the men begin to be tired of constantly playing a
part which leads to no result.
A singular example of the distress of the times is af-
forded by the hackney-coachmen, the greater part of whom
have, of their own accord, reduced their fares from If.
50c. to If. The cabriolet drivers have lowered their
prices in the same proportion. X.

A correspondent informs us, that his Grace

the Duke of WELLINGTON is labouring under a severe
billions attack. His Grace is confined to his bed.
Morning Herald.

The_Duke of BRUNSWICK'S manner of living
at Madrid is of the strangest kind; he spends all his time
in a mew public-house, where he has hired a small back
room :upon the second floor, seeing nobody, and indeed
having no space for receiving strangers in. Among his
suite, which is by no means numerous, are two equivocal
persons, who are suspected to be of a different sex to what
their dress indicates. Scandal first got hold of the cir-
cumstance, but more recently it has attracted the attention
of the ecclesiastical police. The Duke has been accord-
ingly requested, but in the laio.t respectful manner, to
dress differently those novel Aid-de-camps; but, according
to report, his Ex-Highness has formally refused to comply.
Prince as he is, however, there is a chance that he may
find out be is wrong to enter into a contest with the
Church. A certain M. KLINGSWORTH acts in the various
capacities of Counsellor of State, major-domo, and secre-
tary to the Doke ; he is consulted on all occasions, and is
extremely polite.-111orning Paper.
The forthcoming No. of The Literary Ga-
zette, (753, for Saturday, June 25th) will contains paper
of extraordinary novelty and value, being an account of
Burleigh Manuscripts at Hatfield House, hitherto uncon-
suited, and containing the most curious and important
Historical Facts, of some of which the particulars are
stated. The No. will also contain, besides the usual
Reviews, Criticisms, Reports of Literature, the Arts, and
Scientific Proceedings, Original Poetry, by L. E. L. &c. &c.
The three preceding Nos. of the Gazette, which, with the
No. now announced, form the publication for June, and
conclude the first Half Year of 1831, have, among other
articles of general interest, presented a full exposition of
the doctrines maintained by the celebrated RAMMOHUN
Rosy ; the earliest and most ample details of the LANDERS'
Voyage down the Niger; the Voice of Humanity enforcing
the claims of Animals to Human Mercy, and showing the
Evils attendant upon the Administration of our Criminal
Laws ; a Review, with copious Extracts, from Mr.
ALcoex's Travels in Russia, Turkey, Persia, &c. (a work
for private distribution only); the Progress and Pathology
of the Cholera Morbus, from eminent foreign authorities.
So much original information, on subjects of great popular
concernment, within four weeks only, besides ample Notice►
of all New Works published within the time, of tin
Drama, of Exhibitions, of Learned Bodies, and of Improve-
ments and Discoveries in Science, as well' as amusing
Varieties, Sketches, Poetry, &c. &c. serve to evince the
unremitting activity with which this Journal continues to
fulfil its pledges to the Public.—. London: published every,
