-------
Extracts from the Morning Papers) Sept. 22.

[MORNING ram.]
French capers to the 20th instant and the
4toite of Monday reached us last night by Ex-
press. They are still filled with Addresses and
Royal Replies, but as the former come from less
important bodies, the latter are proportionably
shorter. The same feeling, however, prevails
through them all, and if the present Monarch
should ever depart from the policy followed by
his brother, there will not be wanting assurances
of his own to rise in condemnation against him.
Viscount Chateaubriand, who was amongst those
who naturally looked tlythe commencement of a
new reign for restored influence, if not for imme-
diate office, has not been slow in courting the fa-
vour of Charles X. The day after the decease
of Louis XVIII. an article appeared both in the
Journal des Debuts and the Quotidienne, signed
with his name, which has since been re-published
in the shape of a pamphlet. In this piece, which
is not in his happiest style, he certainly proved
that he tlid not pursue the object of his resent-
ment beyond the grave ; for he covered the Mo-
narch by whom he had been disgriged,and who no
longer had power to repair injustice or reward
flattery, with unmitigated praise. He also took
care to gratify, to the utmost possible extent,
every feeling of vanity which might lurk in his
Successor, and strongly urged the propriety of
his baying a splendid Coronation, a ceremony
which the health and unostentatious habits of

a practice, which, " though it makes the unskilfu
laugh, cannot but make the judicious grieve."

[BRITISH PRESS.]

The course of policy that will be adopted by
Charles X. continues to engross the speculations
of the salons at Paris. It is no compliment to
the sincerity of the King, that any doubt should
remain as to his intentions, when he has declared
them so positively. Perhaps his over-anxiety to
assure the public that no great political changes
are meditated, excites rather than allays sus.
picion. Certainly no pains have been spared by
the new Monarch to convince those about him
that he will act on the principle, that his.reign
shall be as it were a continuation of his deceased
brother's. So far buck as the Sunday, on which
our Correspondent is disposed to fix the demise
of Louis XVIII., we understand that Charles
X. addressed the Ministers in these terms :
" Gentlemen, you see what is my affliction. (He was bathed
in tears.) I cannot now assist at a Council ; but I feel only
that I ought to tell you thus much :—The King, my brother,
has managed the affairs of France, during ten years, with so
much wisdom, that, if we arc to be all so unfortunate as to lose
him, I should think I acted against the respect due to his me.
mory and the interests of the Monarchy, were I to follow any
other path than the one he has already traced. What he has '
done has been well done."

Louis XVII I. prevented from taking place
during the whole of his reign. This article, or
• rather pamphlet, though it is said to have had a
:prodigious sale, has not produced the effect
)vltich . its author probably anticipated. It has
neither overturned the present Ministry nor re-
placed Mr. de Chateauhriand amongst his former
colleagues. It certainly procured him a polite
reception at Court, where he was one of the first
to pay homage to the new Majesty ; but hitherto
it has done no more ; and from all that transpires
respecting the intentions of the King, it is not
liki4y to be attended by any further results.

[Nuw Ttmcs.]
We have received the Mode of 'Monday, which
is almost wholly tilled with the ceremonials usual
on the decease of one Monarch and the acces-
sion of another. The Exchange, which had been
closed till Monday, wi►s to open on that day.—
Of ..coursa the Papers cannot yet contain any
price of Stocks; hut there is no doubt that when
business is resumed the price will be as high or
higher than it was before the death of Louis
.VIII. The new King has presided at a
Council of Ministers, to which he summoned the
Duke d'Angonletne, now called the Dauphin.—
It is expected that his Majesty will leave the
Palace of St. Cloud for the Tuileries on Satur-
day next. Meanwhile the body of the late Mo-
narch lies in state at the latter Palace, in the.
Ball. of the Throne ; and the public is admitted
to behold the melancholy pomp from ten in the
nin ito afternoon. A funortal
service was to be performed on Monday last in
the Metropolitan Church of Paris.

Y►sterday hying St. Matthew's day, was oh.
served as a holiday at the Bank and Stock Ex•
change.—The private transactions in Consols
were• done at the closing price of the preceding
day ; ►JS to 951 for the account.—The Foreign
Market being open, the same degree of business
was transacted as for the last few days, the prices
of 4outh American Securities varying consider-
ably. Brazilian Scrip was done at per cent.
premium, and closed at par. Mexican Bonds at
58i to 59. !Neapolitan Bonds were purchased at
SIG,;. In the prices of the other Securities there
was no material alteration.--A report prevailed,
that by the sr, ival of time Dubliu Packet at Ports-
mouth, from Vera Cruz, accounts had been re-
ceived of the surrender of the Castle of St. Juan
to the Independents.—(lba)

[THE TIMES.)
The French Papers of Sunday, which arrived

last night, are principally filled with addresses to
the new King, and his answers, details respecting
the late. King's death, and other Court
gence. It is said that King Charles X. has an-
nounced his intention of presiding twixe a week
at the Council of Ministers. The Bishop of Her-
, moliclis is to pronounce the funeral oration of his
Jets Majesty at St. Denis. The Exchange is to
be immediately opened, so that public business
will be no. longer interrupted by events which
have happened in the Royal Family.

A cotemporary, who had been among the first
to announce the death of the King of -France
tiitte days Wore that event took plice,:has since
endeavoured to merge his Ignoranceof fact in
aSininption of profound mystery and, with a
knowing hint or two respecting French policy,
Lim, wishes it to be believed that the King ac-
tually died on Monday morning, though the
death was not made known till Thursday.—

The King's private friends, naturally enough,
expected to have been his public Councillors
whop be ascended the throne, but they are, in all
probability, destined to feel the bitterness of dis-
appointment. Charles X. had for some months
taken an, active part in the management of public
affairs. • All the measures of M. de Villele were
submitted to him with the consent, and at the ex-
press desire of the! late King. Unless, therefore,
the deepest and most revolting duplicity should
usher in. the new:reign, the'same general system
will be pursued,. and ..most, probably the same
men will, with perhaps an exception or two, be
employed to administer it. Rumours are circu-
lated respecting the introduction of the Prince
de Polignac to the French Cabinet, and it
has been stated in the papers that the King
will himself preside twice a week ; in which case
both the real and nominal power of • Villele
would be reduced to narrow limits: but though
the attachment of Charles to Polignac is well
known, nothing that has yet occurred seems to
spew that these rumours have any foundation but
the lively imaginations of the cutleries of Paris.
As to. M. de Chateaubriand, he has done well to
return to his old business of pampleteering. It
becomes him infinitely better than the dignity of
a Minister, which he never. properly understood.
If he must write nonsense, let him be removed

from a station in which he may render his non-
sense dangerous. Dues he suppose that the
King of France • will call him to guide his
Councils, because he tells the French people
that, " in the maturity of age, their Prince
has preserved the charms and noble elegance of
his youth ? Charles the Tenth; after all, is not,
we believe, likely to prove the wretched dupe
of such gross flummery. Those who looL for-
ward with alarm to the future course of this
Sovereign dread the ascendancy known to be
possessed over him by The Clergy. The recent
institution of the Department of Ecclesiastical
Affairs and public Instruction, and the ad-,
mission of the Bishop of Ilermopolis, as the re-
presentative of the Clergy, to a seat in the
Cabinet, are the measures cited in evidence of
the design, which some expect to have imme-
diately developed, for raising the Genial] church
to its former eminence. We are certainly ap-
prehensive that these measures do indicate'the
existence of a design too accordant- with the
King's, character. The education of the French
youth will, perhaps, be subjected to the absolute
controul of the Clergy. The people of France
can, at this day, hardly be carried back to the
base ignorance and degrading superstition of the
people of Spain and Italy ; but much will pro-
bably be done to retard the wholesome progress
of public knowledge, and weaken those springs
of public spirit, which are supposed, and.aupposed
justly, to press with peculiar force against the
power of the Priesthood.

and protection. Of late a new evil his arisen,' lele on the subject of M. Peyronnet. This latter
or, if not arisen, has come much more into use, was the only Member of the Council who, be-
we mean the practice of joking, and of very bad sides the President, possessed any talen►s above
wit indulged in at the Bar, and sometimes on mediocrity, and M. de Villele will have only cy-
the Bench. We are too fond of a joke ourselves pliers about him in the management of public
not to encourage it in its proper place and sea- business. From this change also we and infer
son ; but as " praise undeserved is satire in the termination of Madame du Cay la's in-

disguise," so we consider that jocularity upon
serious subjects is at least a proof of a bad
and miserable taste. In criminal cases low hu-
mour must be nearly always misplaced, yet
we have known cases in which the life of the
party was at stake, where tke Advocate has
been so injudicious as to give way to ill-timed
pleasantry ; and even to lead the witnesses away
from the real facts of the case, to illustrate and
carry on some trumpery pun or inuendo of his
own. We cannot but think it due to the dignity
and solemnity of our Courts of Justice, to the
awful interests which are at stake there, as well

as to the credit and respectability of the Bar it-
self, that this disreputable practice should be re-
pressed. If a man would not laugh, joke, or pun
on the death-bed of his friend or relation—why

fluence, who supported Peyronnet, and for whom
the late King displayed much affection up to
the latest hour of his life. It appears that it was
she who had the courage to prepare him for
the event, and the Prince shelved his gratitude
by creating her a Duchess. M. de Cazes, on
hearing of the death of the King, went to his
chamber, and on seeing his mortal remains,
played a pathetic scene with such admirable
talent, that Damas, the actor, who has succeeded
Fleury, has reason to be jealous. M. de Cazes
wished to render himself interesting, he has made
himself, or rather he remains only ridiculous.

should he do so upon the trial of a person whom
he has been paid to prosecute or defend, in a
case which implicates his life or liberty ? In
short, where we should consider humour mis-
placed in our own case, why should we employ
it in that of another ? Good sense and good
taste, then, should repress so silly and unworthy
