" DECREE.

" The Kiug.—Amidst the cares which, at the epoch of my
re-establislinient in the plenitude of the right of my Sovereignty,
urgently el„iirn my paternal solicitude, 1 have considered as one
4f the most important things the organization of the Police of
tely kingdom, which should make me acquainted with the opi-
takgs and the wants of my people, and point out to me the
meato of repressing the spirit of sedition, extirpating the de-
l:nevi:f discord, and of making every thing concur to the pro-
SraitY Q.fttie kingdom. The Police, hitherto confined within
too-narrdw sj ci\ele, and depending on the immoveable fidelity
of the Spaniards, limited itself to precautions proportioned to
the peaceable situation of the Monarchy ; but these precautions
would now be barren and useless. It is• tlerefore indispensa-
tlr necessary to give them the 'unity, extension, and force which
are required by the changes of times and manners, and the
want of repose, which is the first benefit of civilisation and the
first security of the public welfare and happiness. In conse-
quence, taking into,consicleration what has been represented to
me by the Sdperintandant General of the Public Surveillance,
cad in conformityvith the opinions of a Junta of Ministers of
my Sul:eine Councils, at which the Governor of my Royal
Council presided, and by the advice of my Council of Minis-
ters, I have resolved to decree as follows."

[Mere is subjoined the Decree, the substance of which has
• already been published.]
PARIS, JAN. 39.—The obsequies of M. Langles (the cele-
iprated Orientalist) took place to-day. After the religious ce-
remony in the church of Notre Dame des Victoires, the mortal
lernains of the deceased were deposited in the burying-ground
Pae la Chaise, to which they were attended by numerous
reputations of the Institute, the Keepers of the Royal Library,
ard a great number of distinguished ornaments of the Sciences,
Literature, and the Arts, both French and Foreigners.

Rams, Jan. 31.—Two detachments of the waggon train, 100
men, and 155 horses strong, destined for the division of the
Upper Ebro, set out from Bayonne the 23d and 24th of the
month, to go to Tolosa.
Prosecutions for demagogical proceedings have not yet ceased
ire Prussia. It is known that within the last fortnight new arrests
haVe taken place, and that the measure has been adopted of
transferring the persons arrested to Berlin, where proceedings
ars: to be had against them: they are thus taken away from
their natural judges, which has happened previously on dif-
ferent other occasions.

The Journal de ilfor.reilles relates the following fine trait :
" ?For the last mineteen months a woman has been confined in
the Castle of Tarascon under an execution which another
-woman had obtained against her for damages and interest
granted to the latter in consequence of a trial before the Tri-
bunal of Correctional Police. The mother of the prisoner find-
ing- herself unable to pay the damages decreed, went daily to
see he: daughter, and could bring her no other consolation
than that of sharing in her tears. The Spanish prisoners of
war confined in the same castle, informed of the situation of
this unfortunate woman, and of the cause of her detention, re-
solvad to aid her, and although not themselves in a condition
ict:ltseke sacrifices, they abandoned for four days the son (half-
penny) of pocket money which is allowed them, and each of
the sub-on-kers added 60 cents, which produced a sum of 190
franca 50 cents., which they delivered to the Commandant of
the depot, to be employed for the deliverance of the prisoner.
This sum was insufficient ; but the contributions of charitable
persons, informed of this act of humanity of the Spanish pri-
soners, made up the deficiency, and the creditor having re-
ceived the damages, the woman detained was set at liberty.
