significance for which nature designed them.
Hard hands and unwashed faces are to be quali-
fications for at least one half of the Council of
the Political Union of London, and the silly
old dotard of a Revolutionary Baronet, who
thought to be King of the Association, with a
select body of Westminster shopkeepers for the
Aristocracy, who were to shed lustre upon his
throne and impart wisdom to his resolutions, is
fairly beaten from the field, to which we venture
to say he will never again venture to return,
by the Editor of the Ballot and his un-
washed supporters, who candidly proclaim
their design to abolish all hereditary distinctions,
from King to Baronet inclusive, and who man-
fully assert the right of the people to demand
universal suffrage, annual Parliaments, and vote
by ballot, and to be satisfied with nothing less.
The defeat of Burdett and the base crew who at-
tempted to support him is a matter of unbounded
gratulation. They were at once formidable and
despicable—" cunning and fierce mixture ab-
horred." In contending against the more honest
and honourable men who have defeated and dis-
graced these hypocrites and drivellers, as it will
be our duty to contend, we have at least the
satisfaction of knowing that, mischievous and
wicked as their purposes are, our antagonists
have so much of manly resolution and integrity
as plainly to avow them, They are antagonists
with whom it is no degradation to be engaged.
But to have had to struggle with revolutionists '
who pretend that they have no higher object
than to establish an aristocracy of " the till"
upon the ruins oldie British Constitution, bah !
the thought is sickening.—Morning Post.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Gazette de France, of Sunday.)

The Court which was to decide on the seizure ofi
the number of the Gazette de France of Sunday!
has negatived the accusation of exciting hatred andl
contempt of the King's Government, which the!
public prosecutor had founded in .the article headed)
" On the consequences of the revolution with re-:
spect to its partisans ;" but it sends for trial the;
article in answer to a provocation of the Illessager,
which was published in the Gazette of 10th August,
1830, without giving rise to any prosecution.
M. de Genoude has received to-day a second sum-
mons, to answer to the Juge d'lnstruction on the
second seizure of the Gazette de France.
It is the appeal to the convocation of the nation
that is incriminated in the second number seized.'
We shall soon know what we have to expect from.
the third. The third summons will not be long
delayed.

Another seizure of the Gazette has been required
this morning, against a Supplement to the Gazette,
on account of the letter of M. Cotta, which it has
published after five or six other Journals,

The Tribune of this morning says—" The Ga-
z:_ite, has been seized four times within a week.
Surely there is no seeing the end of these vexatious
and petty persecutions, which render the liberty of
the press illusory. It would be more frank and more
honourable boldly to aquire the censorship. This
would be a much more expeditious means of getting
rid of all enemies ; and, at least, it is not necessary
to act a hypocritical part. Assuredly we cannot be
suspected with respect to the. Gaze;te ; but we
claim liberty for all, 4nd our warmth cannot excite
surprise. The Tribune has the right to say, Non
ignara mali, miseris succurrere disco."

The printer of the Gazette has been summoned
to-day before the Juge d'lnstrttc!tion,

PARIS, -OCT. 29.—A1l Egypt is infected with the
cholera morbus, which is more destructive in the
principal towns than even the plague has been.
From 600 to 800 persons died daily at Cairo. The
Sardinian and Austrian Vice-Consuls in that city
have fallen victims to the contagion.
The Spanish Consul, who was seized with the
disorder at Alexandria, is dead, though the disorder
is much less disastrous there than at Cairo.

The Viceroy and his faithful Minister Boghos are
on hoard an Egyptian frigate; Mehmed Ali cruises
on the coast to avoid the scourge which carries off
his subjects; he has with him his family and the
greater part of his harem. Extre7te ;-...mlsternation
prevails; everybody flies by sea, or on the Nile, or
into the desert to seek refuge. The towns are de-
serted ; the disorder is so fatal, that the physicians,
fearing to encounter it, have left Egypt ; the eretich
physicians alone remain at their post.
There is no longer any Government; the sanitary
measures ordered by the Consuls of the different
nations constitute the police„ which is obeyed.
All trade has ceased ; many ships have sailed in
ballast ; others without completing their cargo.
Some vessels lately arrived from Europe have has-
tily returned without touching, to seek un asylum in
the islands not infected, or in the ports of Candi°,
The Gazette de France says—Letters from Mqr-
aeilles give an afflicting account of the state of
Egypt. From the 19th August to Ist September,
above 9,000 persons had died of the cholera at
Cairo. The harem of the Viceroy had been at-
tacked by it. Ibrahim Pacha was gone to Upper
Egypt. The Viceroy was on board of a man-of-war
at Alexandria, where the disorder broke out on the
20th of August; there were daily 1,000 or 1,200
deaths.
