[MOR XING POST.]

French Papers to the 4th inst. and the Male
of Monday reached us last night by express.—
They contain 'another Royal Ordonnatice, which
restores the corps of engineers to the footing on
which it stood in point of numbers, before the oc-
cupation of:France by the Allied Armies. This
measure will be p6pular with the military, and
will probably be followed by others equally cal-
culated to repair the injustice done to many por-
tions of that ,Body during the preceding reign.
The fear which engendered them no longer
exists, and Charles X. strong in the love of
every class of his subjects, will not exclude
any of them from a participation in his fa-
vour and.protecting care. It is pleasing to see
men whom forsner attachments had either kept
away, or caused to be banished from the Court of
the late Monarch, crowding round the present
and receiving from him that gracious welcome
which would turns even enemies into friends.—
General Excelmaus, who because, like many
others, he had served in the Hundred Days from the
Sovereign to whom his first oath of fidelity had
been pledged, was since doomed to obscurity and
disgrace, lately had a private audience from
Charles X. who addressed him in the following
words :-44 General, I forget alt that has passed.
The only thing that I will remember is, that
when you received from l3uonaparte the order of
pursuing me, you took another road than that
which I had taken." This delicate mode of at-
tributing merit to a brave truth, who would have
considered abstinence from reproach a favour,
has no doubt rendered Excelmans as true a friend
to the iteurbon Dynasty as any who followed its
fortunes in poverty and exile. It is by such
speeches and such conduct, which in Charles X.
are known to proceed from a sincere heart, that
political hostility is to be disarmed, and that all
the p4rties. into which France has been so long di-
vided ova to, be recalled to a common sense of
loyalty
and affection to the per Son and family of
their MMlare.ti,

rAIORNI N HERALD.)
Sunday's Psris papers arrived last night. They
still ring various and rather curious changes upon
die Censorship and its removal, The Journals,
acd they are but few who are devoted to the Ali-
pii,try, are in rather an awkward predicament.
Whilst the Censorship existed, they were obliged
to twiogize it as the wisest and best of public

measures; now it is removed, and they labour as
lustily in commendation of its repeal. The most
edifying part of these notices of the Censorship is
the exposure of the system. The expurgators were
as invisible as the Grand Lama ; and when the
Editors of the Journals requested some explana-
tion of thesuppression ofarticles in which they could
find no wrong, the Censors pleasantly replied, by
telling then" to make out the riddle." The simple
announcement of a book which did not proceed
from the sphere of the Ministers was not allowed.
What was still more curious was, that the Cen-
sors) in order to give the Ministerial Journals a
monopoly of flattery, suppressed in the Liberal
and Ultra Opposition Journal all praise of the
Duke of Angouleme and the King. Among the
reasons which may be assigned for renewing the
Censorship, is one obviously suggested by the
result. It is, that the Ministers, seeing that
Louis was dying irrecoverably, established the
Censorship, in order to prepare for Charles an
accession of popularity by his repealing it.—
The Ministers would thus sacrifice the sink-
ing to the rising sun—a thing not at all un-
likely. The only objection is their compromise
of their own popularity and strength. M. de
Chateaubriand continues to let off pamphlets—
and it is curious that, on the very day on which the
Censorship was removed, a posse of gens d'armes
went to the booksellers' shops in the Palais
Royal, and gave order that no new book or
pamphlet should be announced by placards in
their shops. There appears no doubt that the
'Greeks have defeated, at least repulsed, the
Turks at Samos. The intelligence has been re-
ceived from various and distant quarters. The
Captain Pacha, it is said, is dead ; and the Greek
Admiral Canaris, who blew up the Admiral and
his ship, met, it is said, with a misfortune—he
was blown up with him.

NEW T 1 MEs.3
Consols yesterday experienced a temporary
depression by the revival of an old report (with
some variation) of, the fitting out of an extensive
expedition at Brest, consisting of several sail of
men-of-war and 4,000 troops, whose destination
of course was to be to South America. Similar
reports have been so numerous of late, that it is
only to be wondered at that they obtain a mo-
ment's belief. Cormina and other ports had pre-
viously been named as the scene of these
formidable preparations, which have invariably
proved without foundation. It is supposed that
if there be troops about to embark at Brest,
they are merely to relieve some of the French
Regiments in the Colonies, whose period
of service has expired. Very little credit was
attached to this report in the latter part of the
day, and Consols, after being at 951, closed at
951.2 ; and for the new Account, 9(4.—Spanish
Bonds yesterday advanced to 211, which was
ascribed to an article in the French Papers from
Madrid, describing the measures pursued by AL
Zen in his effort to raise a Loan with certain
Capitalists. Although he was unsuccessful in
this instance, yet the very idea of the Bonds
having ever been contemplated to be taken at 30,
appears to have given the holders something like
a hope of advantage from the result of future
negociations. South American Securities were
lower ; Mexican Bonds 501 i ; and Colombian
scrip S per cent. discount. Russian, Prussian,
and A ustrian Bonds, support their former prices.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
In another column will be found the most
atrocious document—(See another column of
THE SuN),—perhaps, which ever was penned,
transmitted to us from Madrid, with some others,
which we shall publish to-morrow. In this do-
cument, the sanguinary monster at the head of
the Spanish Police, in the name of the Religion
of Christ, and for the sake of that religion and
the throne, issues orders to all those employed un-
der him to exterminate all who ever declared them-
selves for the Constitution of the Cortes. " By
their extermination alone," he say," can the public
tranquillity be secured." lie allows the under-
taking is difficult, as they are protected io Ma-
sonic caverns, towers, huts, &c. 64 but let all our
works show that this is really the object of all
our ()Worts (Mas persuades; a todos nuestras
obras que es esto realmente a lo que nuestros
estuerzos aspires)), that zeal for Religion and the
King devour our hearts !!" To comment on
such a document would be an insult to our
readers. There is nothing in the history of the
French Revolution that at all approaches
to this cool order to exterminate, not a
few individuals,---not the inhabitants of a par:
ticular town or district,—but a division of the
whole people, so large that it required the
aid of a foreign army to deprive it of the ascend.
ancy, which, without the presence of a foreign
army, it would regain, io all probability, to-mor-
row. The French Government is justly charge.
able with this atrocious document. The Govern-
ment which issued it is the creature of the
F rench, and is supported by French money, and
French bayonets. We shall carefully preserve
this official production, as it outdoes every thing
of which we have any account in modern times.
Those are the pious works of the children of St.
Louis !
