(Pram Ms Dont.)
PARIS, 'OCT. c23.—The King granted a private
audience to the Bishop of Clermont Ferrand, the
Bishop of Meaux, Count .Deseze, Baron Seguier,
Baron Gaujal, First President of the Royal Court
at Limoges, M. Boscheron des Portes, President
of the Royal Court at Orleans, General Trome-
I'm, and iiieut.-General Baron de Fririon.
The Atzlibishop of Paris issued on the 20th
-inst. a mairdate, w hich orders an octave of prayers
;n honour of St. Charles, to invoke the blessings
of God on the reign of Charles A.
A ship which arrived at Marseilles, in a fort-
night from the Canaries, brings a report that a;
volcanic eruption had occurred thereon the 31st I
August, at eight in the morning. The eruption
continued till ten in the morning of the ist of
September. 'From that moment till the 22d of
'September it continued to smoke, and on the last
-mentioned day, at seven o'clock, it burst, forth
anew, and-vomited from its crater a considerable
4ttnaotity of water. On the 26th the water still
.continued to flow, but was less in quantity.
We have mentioned a man, named Preatat,who
hail endeavoured, in the United States, to pass
'himself off for the Dauphin, the son of Louis XVI.
and we also announced that he had ernbarkedfor
France. He has just 'arrived. He landed at
Havre, and -presented himself there in the cha-
racter of Charles X., King of :France and Na-
varre. As yet, he has only succeeded in .proving
himself a madman, and, despite of the numerous
certificates and documents which .he produced,
the King's Lieutenant, Baron le Pic, has not he-
sitated to arrest him, and place him in safe cus-
tody.
Soto, SEPT. 17.—0 n the 14th
,of this month
the Greek squadron, to the number of 70 sail,
appeured before Stanchio with a dozen fire-ships,

-which it launched at once against the vessels of
the Capitan Pacha, which were drawn up in two
•separait) lines. Two of these firo-ships were par-
ticularly directed against We Admiral's ship,
where confusion and terror were beginning to
spread, when two frigates coming forward,

opened a heavy cannonade upon the two fire-
-ships, and succeeded' in destroying them.- 'F hose
'that were sent against •• the remainder of •the
Capital* Paella's squadron did no mischief. Four,
others sent against the Egyptian squadron
were also kept off by the artillery of the ships of
war ; but it appears that they succeeded in
reaching some vessels of the convoy, for a pretty
violent explosion that was heard iu the midst of
-the action proved that some one of these had
-caught fire, and blown up. The Greeks have
affirmed thaolt was an Egyptian frigate that was
blown up; butthe Captain of the Ansaranthe) who
was very near the several squadrons, and dis•
tioctly heard the explosion, has affirmed that the
report would have been louder if it had really
.keen a frigate. lie is persuaded that it was a
transport that was overtaken by the fire.ships.
Letters from Prevesa of the 7th, 11 tlt, •and
•15th of September, announce that the civil war
still continued in Albania, where SelictarToda
•has collected as many troops as his enemies, apt
where there were actions every day. The euvi.

rotis of Joatioina are the theaire of continual rob-
. bevies, as well by the 'forks as the Greeks. A
hundred and fifty horsetail, of the corps called
.•Dely, destined to join Jussuf•Paelta, had arrived
-at Prevesa. The Greeks under. the comtnaud of
:Captain Baugo have advanced into the territory

.of Arta, so as to interrupt all the. commuuications
of that place. Omer -Pacha 'left his nephew
r Achmet with 500 men in his camp bf Carvassari.
Acartmnia, and advanced with 2,000 men to
raise the blockade of Arta. He went to•Vrachorl,
where he surprised. some Greeks at work in the
lields, killed 15, and curried off 9.0 women. lie
retarned to Carvassari. The Greek troops, who
-were three hours march from Vrachori, did -not.

move.
The Greeks at Missolonghi have written to
.Captain Karwukioti, a deserter from their cause,
and now a partisan of Omer Tuella, that the
.plans of thy► Ottoman Government were totally
-defeated, that the Turks were every where
beaten, and that the expedition of the Pacha of
Egypt was partly destroyed—that, in short, it
was fitting that he should think of making repara-
tion for his faults by rendering srm►e service to his
country. This letter fell into the hands of Outer
t•'nrhn, and has greatly lessened his confidence in
Karnnkioti, who has found it very diflicult-to re-
- cover his good grsces.

PARIS, OCT. 22.—At noon the King presided at the' Su.
perior Council of Commerce and. the. Colonies. This sitting
lasted four hour hours. 111. le Dauphin was present. It is
said that the President of the Bureau of Commerce, M. de
Saint Cricq, made a Report on the Commercial Convention of
the 20th of June, 1822, •between the United States and
France.

This spontaneous resolution of the King to preside in per.
• eo►n over an institution to which his august brother lately con-
. tided tl►e agricultural Interest, . the .arts of industry, and-the
commerce and navigation of the kingdom, is a new proof of the
concern of Charles.X. for the - welfare of his people. These
gtest interests have reference to every species of work, of pro-
ductions, of consumption, and: every thing that relates to
the people at large. Agriculture, and the arts of. industry, are
permanent and vital interests ; from these are derived the
• well-doing of individuals, and the prosperity of nations ; and as
the people Ore more or less interested in such things. they:have
• the more or less love for the King that promotes theta. The
King's knowledge of this will enable him to inert the minutest
- deceits of any discussion on this point ; to him will be made
known the wants and the means of his people; and these
wants, together' with their desires, will he laid with confidence
at the foot of his Throne.

tion. It has been put off till after the Vacation, when it will
doubtless give rise to many curious details.

BERLIN, OcT.l4;—To remedy the abuse, which has be•
oome moroand more common, of shortening the period of the

31AMITD, OC T. 11.-( Private Correspondence.)—The Court
is still at the Escurial, where the Diplomatic Corps, the Alinis-
ters, and many persons of distinction, are to assist at the so-
lemn service for Louis XVIII. The Ministers returned the
day before yesterday, hut the Diplomatic Corps will remain till
the aecouchement of the Infanta Maria Francesca.

It is said, that the Foreign Ministers have received from their.
respective Cabinettfinstructions for softening the system of terror,
and anarchy now existing. It is even supposed, that they are
authorized to demand of the King the creation of a Council of
State, divided into sections,..to favour- the operations of each of
the Ministers. Since absolutism is adopted as a regular govern-
ment, this measure will, at all events, be better than leaving
the power is the hands of an absolute and ignorant favourite.
What is singular in the present state of affairs is, that this
same favourite, all confined as he is, is necessary to check the
influence of M. Calomarda, and the Director of the Police, who
both of them incline towards persecution. -The Military Com-
mission is a truly Revolutionary Tribunal, in which -the words
accusation and condemnation have the same meaning.
They have eraleavoured, within these few days, to bring be-
fore this Tribunal the wretched Ex-Minister Crux, who has
been, for some time, lying in prison, without the smallest
charge against him. His unfortunate wife, who has been de-
nied the privilege of throwing herself at the feet of the King
for mercy, justly alarmed at the plot which has been fOrmed
against the life of her husband, has at length had recourse to
the Commanding , French Officer, who has ordered one of his
Aides-de-Camp to accompany her to the Escurial for that
purpose.
PAWS, OCT. 21—The mechanics employed in the calico
manufactory at Brussels have celebrated the fate of St. Luke,
their patron, in a patriotic manner. Each of them wore a pair
of stuff drawers of their own manufacture, and joined in sing.
inga verse expressive of their love of their country, and their
desire to excel-the English manufactures.
The small.pox is at its height in the Department of De
L'Auhe, and chiefly at Troyes. A great number of children
have died of the disorder. A Decree of the Prefect of the De.
pertinent directs the Mayors to employ every means to per-
suade parents to have their children vaccinated. The same re.
commendation is addressed to heads of establishments, as well
as to such manufacturers who employ children.
From Thionville, dated 18th October, they write—An:inva-
sion has taken place which was little expected. A troop of
wild boars, ascending the canal which separates the fort of -the
-Double Crown from the division of Yutz, has alarmed the town.
The instant this news arrived, the people approached them, all
bearing arms,. sonic with sledge hammers. The officer on duty
at the fort, seizing a gun from one of his troop, killed two of
them ; five ()there were likewise killed ; the rest took to eight,
and were favoured by the darkness of night. ,It-was not till
night that the cause of this descent was discovered. Three
hunters, beating the country-round Sicrek, mat in the little
wood of Maquenon a troop of 24 boars, who were driven by
dogs from that wood to the wood of Ham and. back-again. At
-length they appeared in the plain, and the people of Besse
Yutz of Maquenon pursued them till they readied the right
bank of the .Moselle.. Some were killed here arid at other
-places in their route, and the others penetrated the-canal be-
tween the two forts, Where the -action was renewed Ili above
described.

PARIS, OCT. 254.—We gave an accounffrom a Lyons Jour-
nal a few days ago, of some facts relative to a trial for seducing
workmen to go and engage in the manufacture of silk in Eng-
land. To these -facts some reflections were added, the justice
of which we cannot sanction. Inasmuch as we allow that the
Government has the right to regulate the motions of its sol-
diers, whose pay and provisions it supplies, Insomuch *(10 we be-
-1 lieve, that the artisans, who have contracted no engagement,
' and who work foi hire, are five to carry their industry to the
place where it is most productive. Opposite pretensions appear
to us as little conformable to the principles Of general rights, as
they are little favourable to the progress of industry. No nation
has been so long imbued with prejudices on this head as the Eng-
lish, both as it relates to commerce and politics. During seve.
ral ageethe English supposed 'that the superiority of a.people
in.the arts depended on the skill of its workmen. In this there
,was some appearance of reason, but it WAS taking the effect for
the cause; what makes skilful workmen is the entire freedom
of industry, amass of capital, and a spirit of association. A
nation which possesses these elements will soon acquire work.
men who will place its manufactures in such a state as not to
fear rivals. '1 so simple and so evident must be appre-
ciated by Statesmen like Mr. Iluiltisson, Mr. Peel, and air.
‘Robinson, who possess accurate kno*ledge in politield economy.
Thus the present Ministry did not oppose' Mr. biome's propo.
sal to. repeal the ordinances and laws, the result of•whieli was
'to restrict the individual freedom of every class of workmen.
At present we may invite English workmen to France, pass.
ports are granted them with as much facility as any other citi-
7sene, and the manufacture of M. Maltby, at Charenton, proves
that there Is no restraint to prevent them coming to France. Is
It .not, therefore, humiliating to see that the French, who, in
-in-arts and science, are at least as far advanced as die English,
should.shew themselves so far behind them on questions of in.
dustry, commerce, and administrative economy. Mitch time
will be necessary, and many obstacles must be opposed, before
the .Ideas which we have just exposed will be understood by
our 'Ministers and their subalterns. We may congrattilate
ourselves; however, that the pretended seductions at Lyons
have-caused a trial. Public discussion will enlighten the pub-
lic mind, and we may hope that, under the present circuits.
stances, the pleadings and the decisions in this matter-will be
so many guides in this new path, in which our rivals beyond
sea have preceded so many other people.
The B.c.Conyentialist,' M. Thibeautleau, whose Memoirs
on the FrenelLßevolut ion were lately published at Paris, has
resided at Brueseit
for some time. It is now said that he -has
received orders to' leave Belgium, but that the state of his
health, supported by a certificate front his physician; has pro-
cured him come delay.
Duplicity will never succeed in our country o opennexs and
generosity are necessary to govern a nation which is frank arid
generous. Let us judge by this test if the men now at the head
of affairs can long remain there. Well assured that they have
exposed thetneelves .too -certainly to the mistrust and the en.
*fifty of the public, they do not even attempt *to reconeile
themselves with public opinion ; they suppose it' is ceder to
deceive the Sovereign as to their importance, and persuade
him that the security of his 'throne ;depends on their pre-
' serving their places. They even turn the words Of 'the Mo-
narch to their own advantage ; and because he, in the praise-
worthy intention of giving confidence to every great national
interest at the beginning of his reign, has 'declared that he
would only continue the pre, • ling reign, they pretend to sup-
pose they are intiutied in this declaration, and give themselves
out as one of the great interests which it is necessary to attend
to, as if they were one of the fundamental. inetituttonte which
cannot be touched without danger • and they are within a
little of attributing as much to their Ministerial legitima-
cy, as to the' legitimacy of the Crown. One might say,
hearing them, that Charles the Tenth would be lost but
for them; and though it is publicly notorious that the desti.
tutiona anti other acts of these legitimate Excellencies are en-
tirely opposed to the benevolent intentions nia,nifested by the
Monarch In the that daywof his reign,
_ they-cause themselves
to be puffed otfevery day by writers in their pay—in the English
Conner, as the "lien-sent Ministry who have to admirably se-
ennded the wisdons o the Ilfonarelt." There ismometh ing extremely
atalacioux in tag ng such praise to themselves. Do they then
believe that the nation which hears this is as silly as the 'flatterer
who gives it ? rf we were to examine in detail the manner in
which the present Ministry have seconded the wisdom of Louis
XVIII., we should be obliged to write a book, not a column of
a Journal. But for what is the Crown indebted to them since
the new reign began ? in the first .meeting of the Council, in
which an important measure was discussed, demanded too by
the unanimous-voice-of the nation, they opposed, with all their
power, the benevolent intentions of the-Sovereign, and the po-
pular wish united in tile same object. The nation reclaimed
with eagerness a dear and cherishetHiberty. The King and
his August Son pleaded the cause of the nation, while the Mi-
nisters obstinately opposed the wishes of the people, and the
bounty of the King.
' Lau le, (lc T. 13.—We have received afflicting news from Bil.
boa. On the 211th of last month the Royalist Volunteers were
met out of the town by the soldiers of a regiment of regulars
and a dispute ensued ; the latter pretended that the Volunteers
ought not to carry tire-arms, if 'they were not on duty. The
comrades of the Volunteers in the town hearing of this dispute,
deficit-the soldiers--a tumult was the consequence, which the
French General proposd to the municipality to put an end
to ; it refused his offer, and appointed sonic Monks to execute
this office, who succeeded .for a moment. On the following
Sunday, the Volunteers repaired to the promenade, and insult-
ed every body well dressed, and all such persons (almost all
merchants) .were obliged to retire to their own houses. Still
later this triumphant mob have committed still greater excesses,
and the authorities, to prevent further disorder,- were obliged
to order that all shops and public places should be shut at sun-
set, and not opened till nine o'clock i,l the morning. Measures
have also been taken to cause the shops to be shut, wherever
there are more than two persons collected to make purChases.
Such a state of things can only serve to discourage trade, and
all those who can collect 'the means, have hastened to make,
preparations for leaving the town. We expect a considerable '
emigration bbth by sea and by land.
