[bIOIIN]NG HERALD.,

The state of France at this moment is one of
the most striking illustrations of the advantage a
Government derives by favouring the free expres-
sion of men's thoughts, or the Liberty of the
Press,. Charles X. is certainly not a great Mo.
much in any view of his character. Few Princes,
it is well known, have a scantier share of admi-
nistrative capacity—and he came to the throne
with no prepossessions for him. But he
abolished the Censorship ; and this single
act has rendered him personally popular—
so much so as to make the people contented
with his Government exercised by Ministers
who are notoriously unpopular and decried.—
Madame Campan says, that Napoleon, in the
plenitude of his power, feared public opinion,
and it only, because it was not to be fairly fought
with muskets or artillery,und because it was only
irritated and strengthened by any attempted re..
streint. It was his misfortune, in this instance,
as in others, to see the right and follow the
wrong. There is no doubt that his imprisonment
of public opinion contributed materially to his
fall. What a striking proof of the folly of res.
training the Liberty of the Press, results from
contrasting his with the present Government of
France ! Under him, before his sudden and ra-
pid disasters, the nation was united and the army
all powerful, but he would restrain opinion, and it
recoiled upon him. lie had the littleness toattempt
silencing a woman of some wit, more talent,
and still more of presumptuous meddling ambi-
tion. What was the consequence i She was en-
abled to denounce him throughout Europe in
books, which, if published in France, would
have as few readers on their appearance as they
have at present. Look at Charles X. ; without
imposing talents, with an army not numerous—at
least not overwhelming, and which, notwith-
standing the campaign in Spain, has yet to make
its character—nith his people divided into par-
ties, yet is he on the best terms with public
opi-
i►ion, not only secure on his throne, but even his
decried Ministry safe front the thetirie of M. de
Chuteaubrirtnd, and all the pamphleteers of his
party, merely because the Press is free.—
Another contrast highly favourable to the
FrencliGovernment is exhibited by that ofAustria.
The exercise of its authority by the latter is nut
merely mean but ridiculous proscribes in-
dividuals even beyond its reach upon grounds
the most absurd. We recently stated the names
of some foreigners proscribed from the Austrian
territories, among others a young man, the son of
M. Dutergier de Ilaubanne, a Royalist Deputy.
He was denounced as an agent of the Ex-Royal
House of Murat. The young man declared, and
every body believPd, that he knew nothing of
them. But the mystery is now explained. Ile
travelled from Naples with a (1 oiv it Murat, be.
longing to the French Lego Oen rt Itorne, and the
name of Murat wa enough iftv the of the
Austrian Police.

DUTCH PAPERS.

AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 29.—We have great pleasure it stat.
ing that letters have been received here also, of the victory of
the Greeks at Samos. The following particulars on this sub.
ject have been communicated to us :
•

- Several letters from Trieste and Venice, dated the 18th, have
been received here to-day; though they differ in the details,
they agree in the following leading particulars :—" The Ad-
miral's ship of the Capitan Paella, and several other vessels,
have been burnt by the Greeks."
The Turks have made two landings on Samos ; the first with
8,000, and the second with 7,000 men ; but both failed, and
all the Turks who svre landed perished. The remainder of
the Turkish army, which was on the opposite coast at Scala
Ntiovit, panic struck at the disaster of the fleet, and the failure
of the landing on Samos, disbanded and dispersed. It is added,
that part of these fugitives bad arrived at Smyrna, where they
had committed many murders, both of Greeks and Franks.—
(Amsterthitn. Courant, Sept. 30.)
BE aids, SEPT. 11.,--The unathenticated account first
spread by the Courier of Lower Rhine, of an extensive con-
spiracy in Germany and the Prussian States against the secu-
rity of the throne, &c. meets with little credit here, since the
associations among the young men have been limited to that
known by the name of Burtenschaft in the Universities, and
and that of a few young professors who have lately left the
Academy; but that the other classes, and persons of ripe years,
have had no share in them. Our government has seen the tnat.
ter in this light, and chiefly endeavoured to hinder these asso),
ciations in the Accademies, which it still exerts itself to sup-
press. Thus the Special Commission, sitting at Kopenick, has
just published in the Journals a description of the person of
one Theodore Olsbausen a Student at Law, accused of having
taken part in a treasonable association in Germany.—'Pheodore
Olshausen studied in 1820 at Kiri, afterwards at Jena, Btc. It
being supposed that he is in the Prussian States, the Police are
desired to arrest him, to take possession of his papers, &c. .

OLD BAILEY-(Tim DAY.)

Joseph Nash, a dealer in marine stores, was
put to the bar on an indictment charging him with•
receiving ono brass piece of ordnance, the pro:
perty of Capt. John Marshall, of Elstree, Herts.,'
well knowing the same to have been stolen ; and
Sarah Nash alias Lloyd was also put to' the hai
on an indictment charging her separately witt,i.
also receiving four pieces of a similar description'
under the same circumstances.

Th 9 loss of the property having been proved,,;
John Low, a fellow of the worst description, was
called, and detailed the actual stealing of it by
himself. In his cross-examination he admitted-
having a guilty knowledge of at least twenty rob-
beries during the past year, and, in fact, did not
appear to be the least affected by the confession...,
The property having been identified, the..
COMMON SERJEANT SUMined up the evidence tot
the Jury, and put it to them to say whether the,,.
unsupported evidence of such a profligate cha-'-
meter would warrant them in finding them guilty,
particularly after what they had heard. The
Jury immediately found both prisoners—Not

Hunt's sentence of death, it is said, will be
commuted to transportation for life. We under-
stand, too, that tLe Royal mercy has been ex-
tended to him, upon the condition that he should
make a full confession of all he knows respecting
his late associates, and that he is now actually
making such disclosures through his solicitor, Mr.

PROBERT.—It appears by an Evening Paper
of yesterday, that inquiry was made at the address given in
Proberi's letter, inserted in our last. The letter allutinl to
was dated " No. 9, Gravel-lane Southwark." There aie in
Gravel-lane four houses bearing the number 9 ; the inhzbitants
of each deny any knowledge or Probert. At one house the
landlord observed that he knew the brother-in-law sf Probert,
a respectable wine-merchant, and suggested the possibility that,
from this circumstance his house might have been fixed upo4,rxi:

TURKEY.

(From the Cowtitmtionnel.)
TRIESTE, JANT.3.—A vessel from Smyrna au-
nounces that the Turkish garrison of Corinth had
been disembarked at Smyrna, and that the Idriot
vessels had received 11,000 piastres for trans-
porting them there. A vessel from Zante an-
nounces that, after raising the siege of Miss°.
long°, the Greek squadron ❑nder Mauro-
cordato hpd gone to cruise off Patras. As soon
as the Turkish Commandant of this latter town
heard of what had occurred at INlissolougo, he
wished to send several Turks of distinction to
Prevesa ; but the Greeks of Zante say that the
brig on board of which they were embarked had
fallen into the hands of the Greeks.

ODESSA, DEC. 22.—The latest letters from
Constantinople (13th December) say, that M.
Minziccky was impatiently expected there. It
was reported that the question of the evacuation
of die Principalities was deferred till his arrival.
We believe, however, that ho is chiefly to
attend to our commercial interests. The Capital]
Paella, who had arrived with eleven ships, and
three prizes taken from the Greeks, attended
the debates in the Divan on the affairs of the
Morea. The pretended arrival of French Com-
missioners of the Maltese Order at Hydra, to treat
with the Greeks for the cession of an island iu
the Archipelago, excited an extraordinary sensa-
tion at Constantinople. At the same time people
think they observe that Lord Strangford is again
treated with great attention. It is a fact that
the Sultan gave orders that a live Giraffe, which
was come from Egypt, should be taken to Galata,
to be shown to his Lordship.—(By an error it
was said in a former letter that it was an agraffe
of diamonds.)—The other Members of the
Diplomatic Body were also treated with great
respect on this occasion. The most extraordinary
reports were in circulation respecting Persia,
since commercial letters from Aleppo have an-
nounced that the Persians were again in motion.
It seems certain at least that the Porte is uneasy
because the ratification of the treaty of peace on
the part of Persia has not yet been received.—

SKATING IN HOLLAND.

From Annals of Sporting and Fancy Gazette, March 1.)

During the whiter, Holland presents a spectacle
which may be enjoyed at a small expence. When the canals
and lakes are frozen, they travel on the ice with skates. In all
the provinces, but especially in Friesland, this art is carried to
so great a degree of perfection as to become the wonder of all
foreigners ; and it is surprising to see with what agility and
boldness they will pass over three or four leagues in one hour
of time. All the country-women know how to skate. Some-
times thirty persons may be seen together, that is, fifteen
young men with their mistresses, who all holding each other
by the hand, appear, as they move along, like-a vessel driven
before the wind. Others are seated on a sledge fixed on two
bars of wood, faced with iron, and pushed on by one of the
skaters. There are, also, boats ten or fifteen feet long, placed
on large skates, and fitted up with masts and sails. The ce-
lerity with which these boats are driven forward exceeds ima-
gination ; and, it may be said, they equal the rapid flight of a
bird. They go a league in less than a quarter of an hour,
and, sometimes, even a quarter of a league in two minutes.
The Frieslander, who is generally considered to be the most
skilful skater, often goes five leagues an hour, and is even able
to support this pace for a long time. In the province of Fries-
land, there are annually several public courses, which may be
considered as national festivals, where the two sexes are indis-
criminately admitted to dispute the prize, and whoever arrives
first at the goal, is always proclaimed conqueror. Here no re-
gard whatever is paid to the fine movements of the body, each
taking the attitude which appears to him the most proper to ac-
celerate his course. Often, the skater in Friesland is seen with
his body leaning, forward, assisting himself with his hands,
which he places on the ice to increase his impulse. Here the
women are the rivals of the men, nay often surpass them in
quickness ; and in many of time contests, at which we were
present at Leuwarden, we have seen the young women carry off
different prizes in the skating race.
In 1800, two young females, named Scholterni and Johanes,
won the prize in a skating race at Groningen. They went ten
leagues in two hours.

MEETING OF SILK DYERS.—A numerous meet-
ing of the Silk Dyers in Spitalfields, was held on Monday in the
Vestry-room of the Parish Church, and was attended by all the
respectable Gentlemen concerned in that branch of the Silk
manufacture, Sir FRANCIS DESANGES; in the Chair, for the
purpose of presenting a petition to the House of Commons
against the proposed measures of the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER, for the introduction of Foreign Wrought Silk
into this country, at which resolutions were proposed and car-
ried unanimously.

a plan very advisable, but no part of the present grant was
asked with a view to that object. The Gallant Officer con-
tended that the barrack system was superior in every respect
to the one which it had superseded. It made a better soldier,
a better subject, and a better citizen.

Mr. HUME supported the Amendment upon the ground that
there was a military despotism in the country.

The Resolution was agreed to without a division, as were the
other items of the Report.
The Recovery of Penalties Bill went through a Committee.
Report received, and ordered for consideration on Tuesday
nex t.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
On the motion for going into a Committee on the 111-treat-
ment of Cattle Bill,
Mr. HLTME opposed the motion. The difficulty of defining
the ill-treatment of cattle would lead to more difficulties than
these complained of. He moved the commitment of the Bill
that day six months.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL seconded the motion of
the Hon. Member for Aberdeen. He thought the measure was
vexatious and objectionable in every respect.
Mr. W. SMITH supported the Bill, the subject of which,
he thought, ought not to be treated with ridicule.
Mr. MARTIN defended the Bill. This Bill was only a
transcript of the Bill he had introduced in a former Session ;
but the AttorneY-General had not then opposed it, because the
late Lord Londonderry (who was a most humane man) had
supported it.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL opposed the Bill, conceiv-
ing the last one amply sufficient for all necessary purposes.
br. LUSHINGTON objected to the treating of the subject
with ridicule. The Bill might require amendment in a Com-
mittee ; but he thought the principle of it ought to be adopted.
Mr. C. W. WYNNtopposed the bill on the ground that he
did not consider it a subject for legislation.
Mr. BUXTON said he had been informed the Bill of the
Hon. Member for Galway had put an end to at least half the
cruelty practised on animals.
Mr. WARRE was disposed to go into the Committee, be-
cause he knew that cruelties were daily practised upon horses
and other animals.

Alderman BRIDGES, in-his capacity as a Magistrate, had
known horses, with their legs swollen to a great size, most bar-
barously forced to work.
Mr. GOULBURN opposed the Bill.
Mr. BANKES admired the principle of the Bill. He wished
to go into the Committee.

r. HUSKISSON said the reason he should vote against the
Bill was drawn from the argument of an Hon. Member, name-
ly, that excess of punishment defeated the object in view.
Mr. COURTENAY objected to the severity of the enact-
ments in the Bill.

The Gallery was then cleared for a division, but forty Mem
berg were not present, and the House Adjourned at a QUAR.

THE ARMY.

GENERAL ORDER,
Horse Guards, Fb. 12.
It has been recently brought to the Commander-in-eChiers
notice that an Officer commanding a detachment of troops on
board one of the East India Company's ships, ventured to
oppose the boarding of that vessel by certain officers and sea-
men of the Royal Navy, who had been sent from one of his
Majesty's ships for that purpose; and his Royal Highness
deeming such a proceeding to be highly improper, as tend-
ing to place one branch of his Majesty's service in collision
with another, has felt himself called upon to convey his cen-
sure and admonition to the Officer who took so
judged 3
view of his duty : the circumstance is thus published to the
Army, in order to caution all Officers against an interference
with his Majesty's Navy, in case a detachment of it sboola
at any time be ordered to board a ship in which troops may be
embarked. By Command of his Royal Highness the Cons'mander-in-Chief.

GRAND FETE AT BUSHY PARK.

On Tuesday night the Duke and Duchess of CtattENGE
gave a grand entertainment at their mansion, in Bushy Park,
in honour of the' birth-day of the Princess Feodore, the
eldest daughter of the- Duchess of 'Kent. The party con-
sisted of 'about three hundred, among whom were some of
the principal Nobility and Gentry, including the Duchess of
Kent, the Princess Feodore, several foreigners of distinction, the
Earl of Cassillis and. family, the Hon. Mrs. Hope, the Mar-
chioness of Westmeath, Earl and Countess of Errol, Sir
Andrew and Lady Halliday, Lord G. Seymour, Mr. Arthur
Seymour, Misses 'Fitzclarence, Misses Seymour, the Hon. B.
Paget, and several of the'OfEcers of the 7th iegiment of dra-
goons, who are quartered at Hampton Court, &c. &c. Pre-
parations were made several days previous for the occasion.—
' The awning in front of the Mansion was brilliantly illu-
minated ; over it was placed a splendid star. The balcony
Was illuminated ; over it was G. R. the 4th, in variegated
lamps ; inside the awning was also a display of variegated
lamps. A frame was placed in the centre window of the Grand
Saloon, in which was a considerable number of lumps, which
reflected a most brilliant light into the interior. The Hall and
the whole of the Mansion were most splendidly illuminated
with lamps of variegated colours, wax ligiuS, &c. The com-
pany began to arrive about ten o'clock. They were received
by the Royal Duke and Duchess in the most affable and con-
descending manner, accompanied by the Duchess of Kent,
and the Princess Feodore. A band was stationed in a tempo-
rary orchestra, in the Grand Saloon, which had been prepared
for the Ball, the floor of which had been chalked with the Royal
Arms, G. R., and a Star, with various appropriate devices.—
in most of the splendid State apartments were placed choice
plants and exotics. At eleien o'clock the band struck up
a most delightful Quadrill; which was commenced by the
Princess Feodore and the Earl of Errol. The merry dance
continued till one o'clock, when the grand dining-room was
opened, and a most sumptuous princely banquet was displayed.
There was a most 'splendid display of plate 'on the tables and
sideboards. The principal table was in the form of a horse-
shoe, at which their Royal Highnesses presided; and entertain-
ed their numerous and distinguished guests with every de-
licacy that could be procured. There was a great profusion of
pines, grapes, the most delicious ices, &c. The whole of this
extansiVe entertainment was arranged and conducted by Mr.
Law, the Royal Duke's Steward. Every thing was managed
with the greatest order and regularity ; not the least confusion
occurred, although such a very numerous assemblage was col-
lected on the occasion. After supper, dancing was resumed'
which was kept up with great spirit till near 4 o'clock.

FOR THE SUN.

CATTLE DRIVING, &c.
Ma. EDlTOR—Observing in yoiir Paper of the
13th inst. an extract from the Morning Chronicle,
noticing the prohibition, by the Magistrates of
Kensington, of the passage of droves of cattle
through that parish on the Lord's day, I wish to
add to the observations then made upon it, that
there are the same reasons for preventing the
driving of public coaches, mails, &c. on that
day, which would put a stop to all such commu-
nications throughout the kingdom, unless we are
to suppose that the prohibition was to be restrict-
ed solely to the parish of Kensington, or others its
the environs of London, which still would have the
same effect in a minor degree ; we are also to con-
sider the inconvenience that the drivers of cattle
would be put to, by stopping a whole day at any-
place on their road, especially so near the me-
tropolis. It appears to me that the magistrates
have acted from a desire to prevent the peoples
of Kensington from being incommoded in their
passage to and from the church ; but this little
inconvenience might, I think, be suffered, as it is
on other days, rather than put the cattle drivers,
and perhaps their employers, to a much greater
and more serious one. Whatever may be the
" labour" or " recreation" to be allowed on Sun-
days (which I think should have some restric-
tions), it surely was not meant that the observ-
ance of that day (which, as our Saviour said,
44 was made for man, and not man for it"), should
he incompatible with all the wants and interests
of man. Let our zeal, therefore, (as the Morning
Chronicle advised) be unmixed with fanaticism.
I am, Sir, yours, &e.
MODERATAS.

OLD BAILEY—(Tms DAT.)

These Sessions commenced this day before Mr.
Baron JIULLOCK, Mr. Justice IkattouGH, the
Loin MAYOR, RECORDER, Aldermen, &c., at
the Justice Hall in the Old Bailey. There are
on the present occasion 249 prisoners for trial,
amongst which there are eleven for burglary. •
SHOOTING AT GENERAL BURTON.—Willitm
_Henry Reynolds was put to the bar on an indict-
ment, charging him with maliciously shooting at:,
General Napier Christie Burton, on the Ist
of January last, with intent to kill and murder
him, or to do him some bodily harm.
The circumstances of ti►is case have been so,:
recently before our Readers, that a repetition of
them on the present occasion would be super-'
fluous. . The evidence adduced on the ~mat
was precisely similar to that given at the Police,
Office.

Mr. ALLEY arid Mr. ANDREWS conducted the
prosecution, and Mr. ADOLPHUS the defence.
The prisoner declined saying any thing, but
called several persons to speak to his character,
all of whom gave him a very good one for mild-
ness and affection.

Air. Justice BURROUGII summed up the evr-
dpnco to the Jury, who found the pris.mer
Guilty—Death.
