FRENCH PAPERS to the 27th.

nomt,. Ave. 12.—We are assured that Ferdi-
nand VII. has transmitted a Memorial-to the 'Topic%
praying his Holiness to regulate by a Bull the
jurisprudence of •the Supreme Councita the In-
quisition. his Majesty proposes to abolish the
Code called, Directonum Inquisitorum. It 'is 'in
this code of the Dominican Nicolas Rimerie that
we read the-following sentence : .`f No person
'Should say he is unjustly condemned, or com-
plain of the Ecclsiastical judges and the judgment
of the Church ; but -if he is unjustly condemned,
he ought to rejoice in this, that he -suffers for the
sake of Mahonietans, Jews, and °then
infidels, will no !anger be admitted as. witnesses
against `Catholics accused of.,fiereSy ; the wife,
-children, parents, domestics, shall no more be
liable to judicial proceedings on the first denun-
ciation ; torture shall be entirely abolished., The-
offences charged shall be so distinctly specified,
that the suspicion (slight or strong) of heresy
shall ,not bo sufficient, 'without a certain degree of
proof, for the arrest of any individual.
ifs Majesty appears to have. in View to submit
criminal ()deuces in matters of religion to the
ordinary Criminal Judicature.

The property of those condemned is in.no ease
to devolve upon the Inquisition. The exkdces of
the Supreme Council to be provided for out of
the Royal Treasure. The families of the con.
detimed.to succeed to their estates.
This Memorial, filled with wise-views, and such
as aw:eurd• with the glory of Religion, has -been
favourably- received by hiS Holiness, it is
reported, has.since had several Conferences with
Charles IV. - ' •

The French Papers of this date are full of .de-
tails of the rejoicings, illuminations, &c. on the
fete of St. Louis. The Bourbons were mdsteu-

DUSSELDORFF,
,AUG. 13.—A great, number of
Prussian troops arrived here yes:erdayi and pro-
ceeded on their Joute,to-day. It -is stated that
15,000 Saxon troops, which were cantoned on
the Middle Rhine, are abriut to enter Hesse, and
that they will be replaCed by PruS.sian troops from
the Lower Rhine. The reason assigned for this
is- the disbanding, by the-Elector of Hesse, of
the 'Star contingent; which he was bound to mAin-
tain on foot. The Prince has gone to Berlin ;
but -it is hinted that Prussia may seize this oppor-
tunity to reduceJlesse to a state of dependency.
