FRENCH PAPERS.

( From the Etoik of Want:day, Oct. 6.)
MADRID, SEPT. 20.
(alt EXPUEss.)
The King and all his august family have been
residing at the Escurial since the 22d inst.
His Majesty, desiring to transmit to the re-
motest futurity the memory of the happy day of
the Ist-of October, on which he was restored to
the love of his faithful subjects after three years'
captivity in. the hands of the rebels, has ordered
that a solemn thanksgiving and To Deism shall be
celebrated every year for ever, in all the churches
of his dominions. •
The Military Commisidon at Carthagena 'pass-
ed judgment on the I`9th of this month on 63
.Constittitioualists, accused of having borne arms
Against the King. 'lt condemned eight, -one of
whom is a Captain of Infantry, to be shot in the
back as-traitors.. The others are condemned to
different penalties; of this number is the Mar-
quis de Rafal, who will be imprisoued-for a-year
iu a fortress.
The Military Commission-at Pampeluna has,
in like manner, passed sentence on'several-inhtt-
bitants on the town of Peralta, who had endea-
voured to, excite disorder in the name of the-
Constitution, of the 'Cortex.
The Argus, a Journal of Buenos Ayres, con-
tains a proclamation of the Viceroy of Peru,
ordering the-stone of the Constitution to be over-
thrown,and the ancient regime-restored in all the
cities of'the kingdom.*
It is remarkable that, while the Spanish re-
fugees circulate reports in England that the
Royalist General Olaneta has joined the banners
of the insurgents,-the official Gazette of Illtultid
speaks of him with honour,•among the :Generals
who display the most zeal to preserve. Peru for
the. legitimate Sovereign. The same 'Gazette,
on the other haw), gives a 'list of above eighty
Colouels,- Captains,'Lleutenants, and Strb-liente-
mints, who have forsaken the standards of the
Peruvian insurrection to join the -Royal troops.
VIENNA, SEPT. '25.--L.The Emperor has.ordered
the Court to go -into mourning f0r.9.0 days, on
the occasion of the 'death of his Majesty Louis
The mourning commenced on the 23d.
September, and• will -therefore coutinne till the
13th October. .
The French 'Ambassador is preparing to have
a- funeral service celebrated with all the pomp
due to.thre.rneruory of lio.gireat a Sovereign.
UPPEir SEPT."2O.—TIIO most recent
letters,received from• the frontiers of Turkey ec-
quaint -us that tiew &mans 'have been sent from
Uenstantineple• to the Pachas of the northern pro-
Viiices of Turopean Turkey, enjoining them to
send irriniediately all their troops that can be
spared.to,Thessa ly, and to 'direct' them to Larissa,
to enable the commander of the Otto Man army
in Thessaly 'to re-open the campaign and'resinne'
offensive operations. These .firthans have pro-
duced some effect ; for- we learn lyrthe sante
letters, that several corps, fitter' from the camps,
on•the right bank. of the Danube, have already.
marched for 'l'ltessaly. New levies-are mustering'
in those provinces, `but the Turkish .eonimenders
in general cornplain of the backwardness of • the
recruits, who take every opportunity- to leave
• the -service, and seem Wholly indifferent to the
result of the exPedition against the-Greeks. The
camp at. Nissa is .so reduced by 'desertion, and 'by
the numerous detachments sent suocessively to
Thessaly, that it contains no more than 3-,000
men. .The camp at Widdin is one of the most
numernos, but the troops composing it have no
mind to march to distant provinces. :The camp
at Rudschick has also been much reduced.
The slew measures ordered by the Porte.con-
film ail the preceding private accounts of the de-
feats of the Seraskier of Thessuly, the great
lots which he has sustained, and the ravages of
Hit,. plague which still prevails in-the .Turkish

army,.

Several landings made by, the Greeks on the
coast. of Macedonia were much. spoken of, as.well
as. the critical
,state of things at Constantinople.
No new details, however, are .given on this sub..
ject, at least no new facts are mentioned. (At
Vienna no letters had arrived ,from -Para of a
later'date than. the 26th of August.)
,A letter from. Bucharest announces the receipt
of. letters from Constantinople, of the 301,11 of
August, which state that the operations of. the
Capitol, Paella against Samos have not succeeded,
and that this Admiral has suffered considerable.
loss, but without giving any details on the sub-
..ject. This letter adds, .that the Greeks have
interrupted for the moment the
.direct .communi-
cation between Constantinople and the Capitun
Pachat by ~ a division
.of -their flotilla which
cruisea.7.at the entranc.e of the _Dardanelles,
and has captured,a good. many Turkish vessels,
laden with ammunition and other articles for the

will go to Fontainbleuu at the end of the month.
His Majesty's fete will not be solemnized. this
year ou St. Charles's day, on account -of' the

mourning.
The•Rorence Gattile of the 23d of September
states the damage done to the Turkish fleet by
the .Greek fire-shipq, to be much greater than,was
at,firldsaid. Christiani, it is added, lost on
their side three ipsariot ships, and, what they
still more regret, the intrepid Canaris, who was
blown up with the Turkish ship which he en.

MADRID, SEPT. 23.:The El-Minister Cruz,
though dangerously ill, is still confined. General
St. March has been, confined in one of the con-
vents of Valencia. The Ix-Intendant of the
Army, Aguilar Conde, who has been arrested
at Cordova, is now on his.route, under a strong
escort, to Madrid; on his arrival, he will be con,
signed to the prison of the Nobles' Seminary ;•
and Colonel Locbo,_ who has so.maoy times sig-
,nidized hii devotion and zeal in defence of the
,throne and the altar, is also in confinement.

( From the Conetitotionnd of Tuesday. )
PARIS, OCT. 3.—At half-past one there was a Council of
Ministers. This,Council, at which the King presided, and the
Dauphin was present, sat till half-past four. The Minister of
Marine was nut there.

Yesterday afternoon the Baron de Vincent, the Austrian
Ambassrdor, transacted business with the Count de Villele, at
the house of the latter, for about two hours.
At the review in the Champ de Mars, one of the National
Guards who, on.the day of the King's entrance into Paris, had
had the honour to present a petition to his Majesty, left the
ranks, and advancing towards the King, with blunt confidence
complained that he had received no answer to it. His Majesty
pleasantly replied, " That is very possible, M. le Garde, but I
have had so much business to attend to within the last two days,
that I have had no time to occupy myself as yet with yours.
But have patience; I will answer you.
PARIS, OCT. 4.—The Ministers are condemned. They esta-
blished the Censorship for themselves, and the Press will only
revenge itself on them. They alone had the advantage, and
they alone shall- bear the odium. They wished to separate
ituyalty from the nation by the Censorship, and the. King has
blown away the Censorship to hear the nation. A Ministry,
which after having attempted in vain to purchase the Press,
commanded it to be silent to preserve their own places, ought
not to remain ; words will kill them. Even, which is essen-
tially false, were we indebted to them for getting rid of the
plague they imposed on us, we should not thank them ; for in
this case to repair the evil, is not to he blameless. The fear of
its return must also be dissipated. Wherever such a thought
has existed it may be revived ; engagements have been mule
with the pereons witched the benefit of the arrangement; they
will desire to have the Censorship, and have no power but in it.
The Al inisters have no other support. They have not the majo.
City in the Chambers. Two decisionsof the Peers haveproved this.
Let Ani apply to them inversely what the English say so justly
of their King. They cannot do right : and how can we forget
the evil which they have done ? If there is no legal responsibi.
li t7,thcre isa responsibility exercised by the memory of the people.
We.are at one of those grand, and happy periods.when all na.
tional interests spontaneously unite against a common enemy.
We saw,soine timeago,parties which a rallying point only require
to understand each other. This Tallying point is the Charier.,
What a progress have we made, when so many various opinions
agree in this. The Gallivan party of the Clergy acknowledge
the Charter ; and It is much more numerous than the the other.
The parliamentary portion of the ancient nobility knows that
their existence is derived from the Charter. The Magistracy
have decided for it by their brilliant decrees. The army, which
has just seen what a nation is, without institutions, is attached
to:the Charter, which bestows on it a legal organization. Com-
merce,, industry, almost all the landed property of the country
also deiiire it. There is no doubt of this, and there is only a
single party in I"ranee which does not desire it. What is this
party ? That of the Jesuists, since we must, and since we
rimy, call it by its proper name. Three years ago it was hidden,
it denied its own existence,. and who does not now see its pro.
Kress ? Having glided secretly into France, under the modest
de
title of Pere: la Poi, its skilful Chiefs soon formed at first
clandestinely, and afterwards openly, a vast congregation.--
What, Is • its object ? It is now apparent, it is no longer con.
cealed; tapioca the Tiara above the Crown, to put the temporal
authority under the yoke of a power not of this world, to subject
fie Magistrate to the Priest—such is the plan formed by Leo
executed by Gregory VII, more threatening than for-
midable under Boniface VIII, and restored under'Pius V, who,
from Inquisitor become Pope, and knew how to appreciate the
Jesuits. This party appeals to Rome, and labours for it alone.
It formed the League, repulsed Henry IV from the Throne,
and excited Jean Chad, Ravaillac, anti Damien ; tarnished the
glory of Louis the Fourteenth, by the Revocation of the Edict
of Nantes, the Charter of the good Henry. It was this party
which caused the destruction of the Stuarts in England ; and at
present this party avows the massacre of saint Bartholomew,
defends the League against Henry the Fourth, and approves the
salittaryrigours of Pere La Chaise. What must we then ex-
pect of .it ? -The dynasty of the Bourbons in France is in the
same situation as die I louse of Orange was after the victories
of La Hogue and the Boyne. These victories were the signal
for a change in the Government of En land. Prom the time
it was no longer threatened, it took frankly a Constitutional
course ; it ceased to suspend or threaten the liberties of the
people ; parties rallied around it, and it became stronger than
ever.

Lrenow, SEPT, 18.—The Gazette of yesterday contains the
two following Decrees :
" Ills Majesty having judged it convenient to give a new
form to the different establishments of military instruction now
existing,. to make them harmonize with one. another, so that
by their union and individual development, there may result the
organization of a military school, which may spread in a simple
antruniform manner useful information, useful to the service
in times of peace and war among the soldiers of the army ;
and considerin' that your Excellency unites not only the theo-
retical knowledge that you ought to have acquired in observing
the establishments of this kind in many foreign countries, but
likewise the practice of our military schools, and more par.
ticularly of the Royal Military College of which your f;x.
celleney is Vice-Governor; his Majesty appoints your' Excel.
lency to : sabmit to hire a simple and abridged sketch of'ts
plan of organization, founded on the considerations stated, in
order: that, if it obtains the approbation of his Majesty, it
may serve as a basis for the plan for regulating this import.
ant object in future. I advise your Excellency of this, by
order of the King.
(Signed) " Count de SUBSERRA.
" Palace of Bemposta, Sept. 8,182 s.
" To,his Excellency M.. Candid° (Joseph Xavier.)
Having instituted at Lisbon a normal school on the plan
of mutual instruction, as die most enlightened Sovereigns of
Europe have done, who have perceived the advantages which
would result from the instruction of the youth of the kingdom,
and that this establishment may flotirish more and more, I have
decreed as follows
" 1; Since no particular science is taught in this school, but
only a method us
,yet unknown in 'Portugal ; it shall be totally
independent of the general director of the studies, and not be
subject to his inspection.
" 2. The pupils of the said school, who shall unite to their
studies all the requisite qualities, shall be elected to the public
:chair's in the nomination of Government.
" 3. The. Count of Palmella, Prime Minister, is charged with
the execution of the present Decree.

• CHILL
(Extract of a private Letter.)—You have heard of the divi-
sions which broke out in Peril among the Spanish army, and li
you know that they are principally to be attributed to-political
opinions, to ambition, anti to something, perhaps, not so noble.
As they may have a great influence on the destinies of Peru. it
seems to me interesting that -you should know something of
the men who have produced theta. They are the four leaders
of the army, and of them there are some biographical notices
which may. enable you, by a knowledge of their characters, and
of their political principles, as far as they have been exhibited,
to judge of their designs. During the -war which Napoleon
carried on against Spain, La Serna was made prisoner at Sara.
gossa. He was then a Lieut.-Col. ofartWery. At the peace, he re.
turned to Spain, and, without expecting it,wa.s appointed Colonel
of his regiment, with the title of Brigadier, as a reconipencee for
his long services, and the part he had taken in the defence of
•Sarturossu. Ferdinand had at that time again mounted the
throne, but Le Serna had returned from France with liberal
opinions, and had communicated them to kgreat number of the
officers of his regiment. The Government being informed of this,
thought of banishing him. Under the pretext of expecting a
landing of the Algerines, near Algesiraii, he was ordered to pro-
ceed thither with hie regiment, which was then at Seville.—
This wan a step towards exile. La Serna, who dreaded this,
and expected that his
.opinions would soon expose him to pu-
nishment, wished to prevent it; lie solicited Count Abisbal,
then at the head of American affairs, to send hint thither as a
Brigadier-General; his request wan attended to, his wishes
even were surpassed. and to the astonishment of all Spain, he
was appointed General in Chief of the army iu Peru, with or-
ders to repair to Cadiz immediately to embark. What appeared
singular,'-hoset out without any instructions, as if he went
to occupy. some subaltern place; this was in MI, 1816, and
he landed at Arica in Septeniber, the same year. Lite troubles
and confusion which existed in Peru when he arrived, and the
various events which have since taken place, have supplied La
Serna ,with opportunities of showing firmness and _military and
political talents, if he had any. lie has displayed only weak-
iiess, irresolution, and an ,incapacity of oupportingithe burden

laid on his shoulders. He overthrew Pezuela, indeed, and
succeeded to the Viee-Royalty ; but this was neither by
his own talents nor his firmness, nor by any merit
of his, but by the vigour of his principal partisans, by
the course of events, and above all by the irresolute cha-
racter .of -hitt rival, who dared not take one of the strong
measures which his situation required. Both these men wanted
energy, political knowledge, and military skill, and both were
incapable of commanding a country during revolutionary times.
La Serna, since becoming Viceroy, has only given fresh pro*
of his want of skill, and of his timidity ' • he has never takeda
decisive part, even when his interest and his duty both pointed
the same road. It has been principally with regard to Olaneta,
his inferiors bat he has shewn himself irresolute, thoughtless;
and fearful. This General openly disobeyed his orders on most
important occasions, once usurped his authority as Viceroy,
represented him in his proclamations as factious, as an enemy
of the altar and the throne; he openly made'war on him; shed-
ding the blood. of Spanish soldiers because they obeyed the
Viceroy's orders in place of his orders, who had no right to
command them, and far from punishing him in an exemplary
manner for such flagrant acts of rebellion, he treated with him;
not only he pardoned him,but he continued him in his command,
with more power perhaps than before lie had been so guilty.
Without the support of Generals :Valdez and Canterac it is,
indeed, probable that La Serna would long ago have ceased to
be Viceroy.-•

BEnLIN, SEPT. 211.—The Ecclesiastic Gazette publishes
some representations addressed by the Catholic Community of
Dusseldorf to the Vicar-general of the archbishopric of Cologne;
concerning the conduct of a Count of Reck, who has made
himself head of a sect; and has formed a religious party sepa.
rate from the others of Dusselthal. Among other complaints it
is alleged, " 'The little printed tracts which the Count throws
from the window of his carriage, or sends to the public places
to be distributed to the young students, to the workmen, or to
the passers by, and which he casts on the river of Dusselbach,
that they may fall into the hands of the bathers : the principles
which he publicly announces, as well as his partisans ' • the bap-
tisms and the burials which he has himself performed, all this
clearly shews that he and his establishment are attached to the
sect of separatists, of which the heads have been driven from
the Austrian States, from Bavaria, and-still more recently from
the Russian Empire, on account of their fanaticism, which
nearly approaches madness. It is but too true that religious
fury is the source of divisions and political agitation. The
proof of this is seen in the heads and partisans of these sepa-
rated sects, and me cannot but believe that the one which is
founded here will not be long in producing similar dissensions,
more especially as an inhabitant of Valenti, his right-hand
man, has been banished from the Grand Duchy of Weimar,
on account of his turbulent disposition."
PA nis, OCT. 4.—The work of the estimate and diitribution
of the confiscated property of the emigrants is, it is said, com-
pleted, as far as relates to the department of Ain. The con-
fiscations amount, in revenue, according to the reckoning -of
1790, to 045,118 f. 3c.„ and in actual money, according to the
price of the sale, to 13,091,088 f. 82c.
• The English Journals informed us, a few days since,
that the Viceroy de la .Serna after having abolished, without
having received the order from Madrid, the' Constitutional
regime at Peru by a Proclamation, dated from Cusco, )larch 11,
has, by a subsequent proclamation, dated March 21, renonnced
the Vioerolty, and confided the command'. in chief of the army.
to General (ianterac. The motives that he alleges in the last
Proclamation are; the disposition of the Decrees of his Catholic
Majesty, which annul all the acts done under the Constitu-
tional Government [La Sernaohad been confirmed in the Vice
royalty by. this Government': but it is, however, less pro-
bable that this was the cause of his resigning, because those
Decrees had not yet come to him officially, and that till
then he could legally remain at the head of grain in Peru.
*lle ought to have acted up to the time of his formal re.
Vocation, which could not take place. It is, then, more reason-
able to conclude, that, under-these circumstances; he has rather.
yielded to the sentiment of fear than to that of his duty ; which
in spite of his character, appears difficult to explain in all cases,
but, above all, in the situation in which Peru. was placed when
he took this step.—(Note of the Editor of the Cousatutionnel.)
