audience, a letter from his Sovereign on the death
of his Majesty Louis XVIII and the accession

jesty Charles X.
(NON•OFFICIAL PART.)
'AUGSBURG, OCT. 11.—WO have received, di-
• rect from tit. Petersburgh, the following details,
under the date of Sept. 25 :
" The Ministry has just received a very de-
tailed report from General Sabanieff, Commander-
in-Chief of the Russian forces stationed in Bess.
nlabia, upon the actual situation of Moldavia.
This n port has made the greater impression on
the minds of the members of our Cabinet, as it
completely contradicts the preceding accounts
sent to the Office of Foreign A ffairs relative to
the departure of the Turkish troops. We are
116 W certain that they still occupy the principality,
and that they are not even taking any steps
which indicate that they will soon evacuate
it. It is not doubted that this news will make

the Emperor extremely discontented with the
,Turkish Government, and lead to great changes
in the policy of the Russian Cabinet.
" The Emperor will he back. in his capital
much sooner than was expected. This is not
caused by political circumstances, but an indis-
position which has seized his Majesty on his
journey, and which -is u4cribed to the -season
hich already begins to be severe iu some parts
of the Empile."
According to our last accounts from Vienna,
the diplomatic• intercourse between the Cabinets
of Vienna and Paris is very active. The greatest
harmony prevails between the two Courts and
their principal Ministers.
FRANK VOItT, OCT. P2.--:AVP have just received
:the unexpected news that the visit of their Bava-
•rian.Majesties to Vienna has been deferred on sc..,
count of un indisposition which hag attacked the
)Queen since her return from Nymphenberg to
Munich. Though the symptoms are not alarming,
the physicians strongly object to the journey, so
that her Majesty will not go to Vienna till she is
-quite recovered, till which time the King will
not leave her. •
A letter from Seinlin, of the Ist of October,
speaks of new, troubles at Constantinople, in
which the Sultan himself is said to have been in
great danger ; but a Tartar, who arrived 'from
Constantinople after the letter -in question, has
• not brought any contit =lion of. this news.

credentials.

" PA It 14, OCT. 18.—The Austrian Observer ,of
tht. 9th of this month contains the following ar-

tack :-
4 " Curia, Sept. t3.—We have• Just received,au.
thentic intelligence of the revocation of the de-
• cree of the Senate of Napoli diltomania, which
ordered the capture and confiscation of foreign
vessels freighted for the-Turkish service. This
revocation took place before the, Greek Govern,
Went was acquainted with the proclamation Of
A the lonian Islands, lance the revocation is dated,
the 3d September, and the proclamation the 6th."
There is now no doubt, as we haVe already
announced, that the British Government consi-
, dors the proclamation of Sir Frederick Adam as
null and void ; tide' document has incensed all
• Eugland. If we may believe the accounts which
- daily gain. credit, : the :Greeks have given the
Christian renegadoes a lesson which is better
than dII imaginable decrees. They have taken
• or sunk 81 transports, which European Captains
have placed at the disposal of the Paella of
Egypt. We observe with real satisfaction that in
this long list there is notif single French vessel.

With the Paris 'Papers, a letter also arrived,
from which the following is an extract :

" PAIL'S, Oc•r. 10.—Since tht, abolition of the censorship,
the French Press has taken a zealous part against the French
Ministry. . It represent% it as in a state of moral hostility- with
the nation, anti as incapable and unworthy of c.ontinuiorto
govern France._ On the other hand, no discordant voice
troubles the Concert of praises which is offered every day to the
Throne, and if we could believe, literally believe, Init. Ptiblic
Journals, the new Monarch would be a Marcus Aurelius in
wisdom, a Frederick in knowledge, and a Titus in goodness.,
A ccording to these same Papers, all the French, without ex-
ception, are united in one sentiment to acknowledge and adore
the virtues of Charles X, whose name is now never pro-
nounced without being accompanied: by the most affectionate

• epithets.
" Unfortunately our writers anti our courtiers, the organs of
• our political parties, are always in error with respect- to the
public opinion ; they conirider the interests, the wishes, the
• ambition of some individuals, of some Coteries, as the interests,
the wishes, the wants of France ; and whereas if their lan-
guage were disinterested, they would represenythe greater part
of the nation its forgetting-its forme: convulsions in peaceful
occupation* as neutral between all thcrparties, and as nearly in 7
different to public affairs.
" But amidst this nation; which seems to be a mere specta-
tor of the public transactions .which concern it thelnore nearly,
the observer follows with curiosity, though without laying
. much sows upon them, the mere course of events to which is
now attached the fate of the doctrines, the opinions, or parties
hitherto known by the, limes of :Liberals, Ultra, and Mini-
sterial. The accession of Charles X. has inspired them all with
hopes more or less
" The marks of kindness lavished by the new King on the
..peincipal Liberals who have been received at Court, the pro.
:mini which he has repeated ter preserve entire the Charter, and.

the Institutions deris..d from it, the encouragement which he
has given the Magistracy, the kind of reproof which he has
given to the principal administrative authorities, several times
warning them to keep chiefly to the execution of the laws, and
never to go beyond ; all this gives confidence to the Liberals,
and they even believe that if Charles the Tenth should dis-
miss his Ministers, he would choose their successors among
their body. This opinicin, it is true, is not general among the
Liberals, but it is certain that it exists.

" The Ultras's:on titer aide, are full of hopes, and it !Twit be
owned that they are much better founded.

" M. de Burg; de Vitrolles, de 'Mille, who formed the
Court of Monsieur before the death of Louis XVIII. and
were in a manner exiled from public affairs under the late
reign, depended, and still confidently depend on the New
King. They .will demand much, for the demands- of fidelity
are great.

" All the ancient Nobility, who detest the Ministry,- environ
the new Monarch, and exert themselves to monopolize the-be-
nefits of his reign. They -.have chances of success ; for
Charles X. is known not to be distinguished by any ',Treat
energy of character. The Organs of the Liberals •can
now cross the thresh Old of the Tuileries, but will they have
the same firmness and perseverance as their adversaries ?
We may be allowed to doubt it. Meantime the Liberals
have still one support; namely, the Dauphin. It is cer-
tain that since the war in Spain that Prince has adopted opi-
nions which he did not entertain before: hais almost liberal.
The King, proud of his dear son, seems much. inclined to let
him take ,azi important part in public affairs. Unfortunately,
neither of then is endowed with any remarkable degree of abi-
lities. It is doubtless because each party hopes to gain the
favour of the Monarch • that he is overwhelmed from all quar-
ters with praises and flattery. If such means could prevail,
.the public welfare would rest on a very precarious foundation.

".its for the. Ministry, It faces the Throne, and defends itself
as well as it can by means of its paid organs. 'lts party is re-
•duced to the small number of persons whose friendship• it
pays; even the indifferent speak of it with disrespect. Its dis-
missal might pass for a popular measure, if the people were at
-all interested about these things.
" 4. de Corbiere and M. de Peyronnet are more particularly
the objects of the hatred and the sarcasms of our politicians
however, the continuance of their power is it problcm.ahich
is not yet solved.
"The following is an anecdote which the Liberal.; arc fond
of relating

6 By the accession of Monsieur to the Throne of France, the
Company of Gerdes du Corps of the Prince has become the Ath
Company of Garde. du Corps of the King ; all the Officers have
been retained, though they are not all of the high Nobility, and
there arc even some parvenus among them.
6 The Officers Of the first Four Companies compluined, and
deputed the Duke of Urammont to represent to the King, that
the Officers of the King's Gerdes' du Corps had been at all
times taken from the high French Nobility, and that it was
not fitting to introduce or to retain in that privileged Corps
new men, whose names were not illustrated •by the splen-
dor' of ancestral honours.'—' MonsieUr let Dac,' answered
the King, ' I thought your military duties did nut hin-
der you from reading the Charter. All ithe French are
equally admissible to civil and military entployments. See
Article 2d.' "

RELIGIOUS SCENE AT PARIS.

PFEILLIPE, TUE COMEDIAN.

An event afflicting to religion, tho divine
precepts of which have been forgotten, to public morals which
always rcczive a severe wound from any scandal, particularly a
religious scandal, and -to public order which was distuibed
Sur several hours, occurred today ((,L. 111) In the heart of
Paris, before an immense multitude who mourned and'.la-
mented at being obliged to witness it. ' An actor of the Theatre,
• Porte St. Martin, M. Pitillippe, whoenjoyed the friendship of
•hit fellow actors,-and the esteem of,llll those who knew. ,lainu,
died suddenly by a stroke of apoplexy on Thursday night,
Prudence and humanity both require that before interment
the certain signs of a total cessation of life should appear; they
were long in manifesting themselves, and it was only yesterday
(the-17th), that it was decided he should be buried this day,
Accordingly, yesterday afternoon, his father, subduing his
griefowant, to order the funeral. Ile proceeded also to the
Church of Saint Laurent, to require and to pay for the religious
' ceremony with which he desired to honour the memory of his
son ; he received a positive refusal, and was told that the corpse
of the deceased should not he 'admitted Into the Church. This
morning, about ten o'clock, at the time when the funeral was
' about to proceed from the Rue dcr Marais, Faubourg Saint
Martin, where Phillippe lived, and where lie died, his rela-
tions, friends and acquaintances, who had assembled to
pay him the last duties, learnt with sorrow and stir.
prise that the permission to take the corpse into his parish
church bad been refused ; hoping that this determination
would be altered, which seemed to them so contrary to the true
doctrines of Christian charity, they shewed a disposition to
make,another attempt, and to proceed towards the church ; the
Commissary of the Mayor opposed this, and is Commissary of
escorted by gendarmerie, CRITIC and gave orders to carry
.the corpse straight to the burying ground of Pen: La Chaise.
The crowd was at this time considerable ; at hearing the order
given by the Commissaire of Police, they displayed their
astonishment and sorrow ; every effort te induce the public
authorities to alter their determination was unavailing, and then
the cries were heard : Aux Tuileries (to the Tuileries)! au.s
Tuileries! ! au Chateau (to the- Palace) ! There we slur!!
find protection and Justice. ' Immediately, in spite of the
opposition of the gendarmes, the coffin was taken from
the hearse ; several of the people placed it on their
shoulders, and proceeded by the Boulevards towards
the Tuileries. Escorted by the multitude, which increased
at every step, arii made the air resound .with cries of Yin:
k Rid ! they thus proceeded along the Boulevards St.
Meetin, St. Denis, Bonne Nouvelle, l'oissonniere,.and were
stopped at the beginning of the Boulevard Montinatre, by a
detachment of flentlarmee on horseback, who were drawn up in
battle array anal )ckctl the passage. Thecoffin was placed on the
pavement, and remained there till it was replaced in the hearse.
Some negociations and conversations now took-place; the gend-
armerie wished to make the procession retrograde, and carry
the corpse to (the burying ground. This was opposed, and a
transaction then took place, of which the foUowtng letter sup--
plies the details
To the Elitor of the Conititutiounrl, Paris,
_Oct. 18.

" Stu—This morning, at the moment when the public fer..
mentation, occasioned.by the refusal of the Curt of Saint Lau-
rent to receive the corpse of M. Phillippe, took a serious cha-
racter, the relations and friends of the deceased, willing' to
prevent mnre serious disorders, requested us to repair to the;
'Palace ot) the Tuileries, in order to obtain an order from the
King. We are therefore bound tb render an account to the
public of our proceedings and their results. We were -re.l
ceived with the greetest. attention by Count Demos, the first
Gentlemen in Slraiting, who took on himself to lay our appli.
cation before his 111ajesty, and, by his command, .we went to
the Minister of the Interior. His Excellency replied to us. that
it was beyond his power to oblige the Ministers Van?, religion
whatevrr to receive a 'Comedian iwtheir temples. We observed
to him, that since the funeral of Mademoiselle Raucourt all
the dramatic artists who bad died at Paris had been taken into
the Church. ' IlisExcellency replied, they had probably
the duties of the Catholic religion, anti had confessed."
MTe' pointed tint that M. Phillippe dying suddenly in the
middle of the night was 'unable to send for a priest. To all'
these observations his Excellency replied, that he could not
give any Orders contrary to those given by the. Clergy. We
then departed. We are, Jr.c.

" 11ENISSIEIt " COLL,OMBEAII."
During these negotiations, which lasted nearly two hours,
the hearse remained in tbe middle of the Boulevard, in the,

most populous part of the town, and thousands of spectators
waited in solemn silence the answer from the Palace. About
half-past twelve o'clock an officer of gendarmerie arrived, who ,
gave orders to make the procession return by the way that it
came. On every side the officers of the gendarmerie were asked
" Are we to go to the church? Are we to go to the church?" From
the answers given to the questions it was supposed that it was to
go to the church of St. Laurent, that the procession was ordered
to return, and then it began to move off to the cries of " Vive le
Roi." The crowd constantly increased, and at every street
which opened to the Boulevards, fresh detachments of gen-
darmerie arrived, who separated the crowd from the hearse.
‘Vhen it reached the beginning of the rue Faubourg St. Martin,
which should have been followed to go to the church of St.
Laurent, the precession continued along the Bouleverd, and
then it was learnt that the Ecclesiastical Authority had persisted
in its refusal, and that no contrary order had been given, or at
least that this order had not bees obeyed. The sorrow be-
came general, and nothing mare was heard lint unavailing cries
of "To the church !" and the hearse continued-its progress by
the Boulevards to the Rue du Chemia 'Vert, which leads to
Pere la Chaise. There 20 gendarmese in order or battle, faced
about, and with their sabres prevehted die multitede from fol-
lowing the funeral. Instead of being accompanied to the grave
by his relations and friends, the mortal remains of the deceas-
ed were carried,there by the/ere:darn:Me. Some persons, how-
ever, who had taken the streets leading from the l'aubinfrg du
Temple, penetrated into the burying-ground, the gates of
which were guarded by the gendarmes, after the entrance of
the hearse. The corpse was placed in the grave, and, at the
moment of separating front it for ever, the friends of the de-
ceased cried out " We live under a Sovereign the enemy of
fraud. Our cause is that of all. We will go and plead it befbre
hint—he will do us justice." Then one of the actors of the
Theatre des Varietes, Lefebvre, in the name of the friends
of the deceased, moseef whom had been dispersed by force of
arms, pronounced over the grave the lest adiens of friendship !
M. Phillippe's brother, whose grief' was excessive, was present
Int this melancholy. ceremony, which was disturbed by so many
extraordinary incidents. What et number of melanchely re.
flections and painful thoughts must not these scenes of disorder
and tumult, in which some people, it is said, were wounded,
excite in the peaceable and enlightened men at' every opinion,
z.nd of every faith. The conscience of the Priest, and his
ministry is one of the conscience, did not permit hint to re-
ceive the corpse of a comedian into the sanctuary of religion !
But are there different kinds of consciences? Would this
have been the first time that they had granted to un actor,
•who died without confession, the prayers of the Church ?
The conscience of the same Priest who refused to admit rildlle.
Chameroi into his Church, was silent before the order which
was issued by the then !lead of the Government: it remained
silent i • it obeyed also the order of Louis 18th, when, in 18'23,
his Majesty commanded that Mademoiselle Itaucourt should
beezarned into the Church of Saint Hoch. And besides,
Phillippe did not refuse the consolations of religion. He un-
tbrtunately was not allowed by. Providence time to ask fbr
them. In neighbouring countries, where the Catholic reli-
gion is not only the religion of the State, the dominant reli-
gion, but where it is also the exelueirt religion, at Naples, and
even at Home, under the eyes of the Head of the Church, the
Comedians are not separated from the Church; all the cere-
monies of the faith are granted to them whenever they ask
them, and Christian charity imposes on the Priests, a duty
which they have always fulhlled, that of praying for them as
well as for other Chnetians. -It is melancholy to reflect, that
there is less religious toleration at Paris than at Rome. Con.
sidered under another point of view, these tumultuous scenes
may also be the subject of important reflections. The police,
so active, so turbulent, so foreseeing, when it is simply a
question of opinion, ought it not to have prevented a scandal
which,will leave such melancholy unpleasant recollections.
Al'e are Informed this evening, that according to an
order from the Superior Powers, there is to be celebrated, the
day after to-morroef(Wednesday), •a funeral service in honour
of the deceased, in hie parish church of St. Laurent.—( Con.
