The above, for the accuracy of which wo can
vouch, sufficiently denotes not only the serenity
of the King's feelings under the solemn contem-
plation of his approaching end, but the harass-
ment of mind which ho suffers from observing
the complete subjection of th© Count d'Artois,
to the crowd, in priestly vestments, that perpe-
tually surround him. " I have no great fear
of death," says the dying Monarch, " for I shall
thou cease to sutler, and, above all, I shall cease
to behold the surplices that continually encircle
my brother."

[MORNING HERALD. j
Those who profess to be in the secret (but who
often know least about the matter) assert that
Parliament is to meet In February 'only to be
dissolved, and that a general election will take
place in the spring. In the first place, we never
heard of Parliament meeting to be dissolved ; and
as such an nrrangement as the above would he
productive of great inconvenience, we can hardly
imagine that Ministers have any such intention.
If they really mean this Parliament not to sit an.
other Session, the present is the 0P95011 of the
year most convenient for its dissolution and the
new election. To have it In the Spring would
'be to postpone nearly the whole business of
the Session for a year; for, of course, it
.the dissolution • were to take place in Fe-
hruary, the new Parliament could not meet, at
the soonest, before the end of April, %Olen. the
season would be too far advanced to enable them
to get through any thing like the business which
would await their attention. The whole business
of appeals to the House of Lords would be fills-
peilde.d, and the many Bills, upon the passing of
which the employment of so much capital de-
pends, would be lost. The autumn is evidently
the. most proper, as the spring would be the least
so for the bustle of a general electien.- Autumn
is the period of general leisure—the harvest Is nt
an end ; the Circuits and Law. Courts clotted ;
whereas, in the spring, the Inhabitants of both
town and country, and of ell professions and
pursuits, are fully occupied, and many of them
in a way to render a general election at that see.
son of the year a positive evil. Besides, highly
as the present Ministry have the good fortune to
stand -with the country, we cannot help thinking
that another Session may add materially to their
popularity, by enabling them to accomplish a still
further reduction of tine public burdens. • We.do
not believe, then, that it can be the intention of
Government to fix the
.dissolution in the Spring.
On the contrary, we apprehend, their obvious,
policy Is to let the present Parliament go fairly
through (mother Session, and to reserve the ge-
nera' election for the Autumn of the next year.

It appears to us that fanaticism has of late
been allowed ter), much license in this country.
We wish to allow all religious Sects the utmost
latitude, both in tile expression of opinion, and
in the manner of worshipping; but there is a
material difference between freedom of this de-
scription, and an interference with the opinions
and practice of others. New what we complain
of is, that the fanatics of this country are endea-
vouring to force their own notions on others, and
that not content with the liberty of observing cer-
tain days in the manlier most agreeable to them-
selves, they seem determined to deprive their
neighbours of the exercise of the same liberty.
It is this intolerance which makes religious zeti.
lots such a pest to all who differ from them. We
have been led into these remarks at this time by
the following Notice, in Kensington, which in
one of the fanatical publications now waging war
against Sunday Newspapers, -Theatres, and
amusements of all kinds, except Love-feasts, Is
recommended to general adoption :
" Take notice, by order of the Magistrates, that no drove of
cattle will be allowed to pass through this parish on the Lord's-
day."
Now lye have no objection to any one passing
the twenty-four hours.of Sunday, in as sour and
Uncomfortable a mariner us may be agreeable 'to
him—he may abstain from all recreation, he may
shut up his kitchen, refuse to read newspapers,
ride on horseback or in coaches, or sail In boats,-
barges, or ships—he may neither drive nor he
accessary to the driving cattle—we have no ob-

'than suffer the French troops to be withdrawn ;
for he cannot trust any body of Spaniards with
arms in their hands without endangering the ex-
istence of his despotism.

' The critical situation of affairs in France be-
comes every day more interesting, from the fluc-
tuations of fear and hope which each succeeding
day chances to bring with it, according to the
changes for the better or worse, in the King's
health. His Majesty talks of his approaching
dissolution with firmness, and looks forward ,
to it without dismay. This inward serenity be/
tokens at least a conscience nut scared by
much self-reproach. In troll, he has, we be-
lieve, as much, perhaps more, of virtuous ten-
dency in his disposition and character than usu-
ally falls to the lot of persons in his exalted, sta-
tion. It is not unusual to visit upon a King
the sins of his Minister, and in this respect
Louis XVIII. has suffered not a little. But time
and truth will speedily do him justice. His Ma.
jesty is well aware that his brother the Count
d'Artois, in conjunction with M. de Villele, are
proceeding sans forme de justice to revive the su-
premacy of the priesthood. He foresees plainly
enough, that after he is. gone the sceptre of
France will go effectively into the hands of the
Cardinals, and that mon rOarendissime Pero en
Dieu will be, both ostensibly and actually, the
real ruler. His Majesty, in his heart, deplores
this, but he has ceased to reign, and- has long
avoided all Interference in public affairs, which he
well knows would only involve him in vexation
and disquietude, without leading to the least use-
ful result. The following extract from a letter
we have just received will confirm the above re-
marks :
