different forgeries of the forniirl bad the follow
ing threat :--

" We are not anxious to extend the narrative of Mr. Faunt-
leroy's life by a description of his personal habits : but if pro-
voked, we can lay before the public such a detail of low and
disgusting sensuality, us would if not completely authenticated,
appear incredible to those who were not as degraded in mind
and deed as he was. This narrative would involve several per-
sons who hold themselves rather high, and who have presumed
to talk big, With reference to our accounts of their wretched
friend and associate. Let them be quiet : if we find that either
in public or private (and we have channels of information
which they dream not of) they have the impudence to dig-
pares° our motives, or deny our statements, we will hold up
their names and actions to public scorn, and astonishment, and
disgust."

So then we are to understand that the narrative
in The Times, whith Mr. Fauntleroy contra-
dicted so positively in his defence, and which
he attributed to an enemy, was, after all, sub-
stantially true. We are to understand, too,
that The Times could have established the truth
of this statement, but chose that the world should
believe they were the dupes of calumniators,
whom they wished to screen, rather than they
would justify themselves at the expence of a
man Whotti yet all the time they knew to be
utterly wOrthlei.S, whese sensuality was so
IoW and disgusting, that it would have ap-
peared utterly incredible to all who were not so
degraded in mind and deed us he was. While a
chance of pardon existed they' forbore to come
forward, and even now so utterly indifferent are
they to what may be thought of themselves by
the public, that they will still be silent, proVided
only several persons, whom a narrative of this low
and disgusting sensuality would involve, who,
hold them Selves rather high, and who have pre-
sumed to talk big with reference to their ac-
counts, have not the impudence to disparage
their motives or deny their statements, If cer
tain individuals,. not named, will only be quiet,
The Times will be quiet, being satisfied that the
public will receive this conditional threat as an it.r
refragable road the truth of their statement. It
is really time, as far as Mr. Fauntleroy himself is
concerned, that his sins and senSua tides should be
consighed to oblivion. Ile has gone to his ac-
count ; his guilt was clearly prOVed ; and if the
Itoyal interposition was claimed, this was less
from any consideration for him, than from a de-
sire that he might be spared to aid in tracing the
guilt of others. All statements, either in further
accusation of Mr. Fauntleroy or in vindication of
others, will now be listened to with great sus-
piciOU. As far as the public were concerned, the
call to come forward in tithe was made again and
again without effect.

[RUTTISH PRESS.]
The Paris Paper's of Friday reached our office
last night. They are chiefly tilled with discus-
sions on the proposed indemnity for the emi-
grants. M: de Chateaubriand has published his
second letter to a Peer of France, in which he
refers, with exultation, to the declaration he
made in 1819, that one of the most important
measures of a Royalist Administration would be
to provide a just indemnity for the families who
lost their property daring the Revolution. The
inviolability of the rights of preperty is ably and
eloquently maintained by the Noble Viscount.—
" Neither absolute dominion," says he, " nor
any law, can render a Sovereign master of the
property of his subjects, without a compensation,
if not previous, at least subsequent. He cannot
giie to one who belongs to another. Even at
Constantinople this transfer is not sanctioned.
The religious law in that respect supplies what
the civil law has neglected." The honour of ori-
ginally proposing the law of indemnity is assign-
ed to Marshal Macdonald, who, in December,
1814, in debating the project for restoring the
unsold property of the emigrants, asked whe-
ther " those voluntary exiles, whose sense of
interest could not detach them from their duty,
were still to be punished for having remained
faithful to it?" The Aristurque states, that the
merchants of Paris are about to petition the Go-
vernment against the Violation of confidence in
.the French Poit-Office, practised, in the opening
of private letters. We trust that Charles X. may
be induced to number the abblition of this scan-
dalous custom among the just and beneficent
acts of his reign. It is so infamous that we
hope it has only to be Pointed out to insure its
abolition. According to the Moniteur, Ferdi-
nand VII. has contrived to get together the
funds for the paynient of the half-year's interest
due next Month on Gtienhard's loon. It is candid-
ly acknowledged that this payment would hardly
have been made if the Spanish Government had
not considered
,it " as leading to further finan-
cial operations." Dees the King of Spain then
seriously think that this sorry payment will in-
duce any body in this country to advance him
more money while he iefutes even to acknow-
ledge the debts that were, amongst other things,
contracted to pay his household expences under
the Constitutional system? The evacuation of
Spain seems to be no longer doubtful. All the
preparatory steps are taken. The Ftoile ,
how-
ever, stoutly denieS,tbat the infants intend to go
abroad, though the Opposition Journals persist in
affirming
