where lay a Catholic prayer-hook, belonging to the lads
of the house. I took it up, kissed it, and declared, "by
virtue of my oath I will accept of nothing for myself
from the Government till my countrymen are emanci-

O'Gorman, who shook his head, and wisely declined to
take any such oath. I now similarly pledge myself to
enter into no compromise, nor to accept of any advantage
from the Government till I see our National Parliament

JANUARY 5.

The outrages in the unfortunate county of Kilkenny
appear to be increasing ; the last accounts state the death
of one young man in a conflict with the police,—of a
policeman killed in his own house by Whitefeet,—of seven
houses entered and their inmates severely beaten, or
wounded by shots ; and of four other houses searched•for
arms and whisky, by " the blazing Whitefeet" as they
call themselves.

Mr. O'Connell has so far surmounted the jealouQy 01

is settled his chairing will proceed on Monday.

FRANKFORT PAPERS.

VIENNA, DEC. 26.—The public has been thrown
into great alarm by a serious attack of illness which
the young King of Hungary has experienced. By
the desire of the physicians, the sacrament for the
dying was administered to him this morning. How-
ever, the nervous attacks by which the patient
chiefly suffered, have abated, so that there are hopes
that he will soon be better. On this occasion the
inhabitants of Vienna have given a new proof of
their attachment to the Imperial Family ; from
every mouth we bear the most ardent wishes that
Providence may be pleased to spare the valuable
life of the Prince, who is universally beloved. In
politics we have nothing new. The progress of
events in Belgium is looked to with great anxiety.
The mission of Sir S. Canning to Madrid causes
some sensation. It is recollected that he laid the
foundation of much embarrassment to the Porte,
when he was sent to Constantinople on a mission
to effect an amicable arrangement with the Greeks ;
and many are apprehensive lest he should make
similar attempts in Spain to embarrass the affairs of
the Peninsula. But the Spaniards are not Turks,
and it may be more difficult to deceive the Spanish
Ministry respecting its own real interest and that of
the country, than it was the Divan which was at
that time divided in itself.

BRUNSWICK, DEC. 29.—The following Ordi-
nance has been published here :

" We, William, IV., by the grace of God, King of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain, Ireland, &c. &c. ;
also King of Hanover, and Duke of Brunswick and
Lunenburg, &c. &c. ; and we, William, by the grace of
God, Duke of Brunswick and Lunenburg, &c. &c.

" Considering—That the changes which, since the disso-
lution of the German Empire, have taken place in the re-
lations of the Princely houses of Germany, render it neces-
sary to revise the regulations which have hitherto been
established by the Family Statutes and customs of ow
whole House respecting the marriages of the Princes and
Princesses of our said House; that the object of such re-
visal is to promote the interest of our whole House, and
to modify the laws hitherto in force in a manner suitable
to the attendant relations : considering, too, the example
of other Sovereign German Houses may be best attained by
the introduction of a superintendence to be exercised by
the Sovereign over the marriages of the Princes and Prin,

founded on the Sovereignty.
" That the interest of our whole Howe requiring that
uniform conditions should be laid down to both lines now
reigning by virtue of the obligation to take care of the in-
terest of our whole House, we wished, in reference to the
two lines and the relations to these possessions, which
make part of the German Confederation, to establish, by
mutual consent, a family law adapted to the said object.
" We therefore ordain :

" Art. 1. The Princes and Princesses of our whole
House are bound to ask the consent of the reigning Princes
to the marriages which they intend to enter into, which
consent will not be refused to properly assorted marriages,
without some peculiar reasons should exist.
" 2. The decision of the question, whether reasons for
refusing such consent exist or not, belongs exclusively to
the reigning Prince, in every case.
" 3. The consent will be given in a written document,
which must be signed by the reigning Prince with his
own band, and be confirmed by the Seal of State, and
countersigned in the usual form.
" 4. A marriage concluded without the formally granted
consent of the reigning Prince, does not give to the chil-
dren that may issue from it, a right of succession to the
States of the House of Brunswick Lunenburg, belonging
to the German Confederation ; from a right to rank, titles,
and arms, of the Most Serene House. _

" 5. This Family Law shall he published by insertion in
the Collection of the Laws of Hanover and Brunswick, as
an unalterable Decree from the kingdom of Hanover and
the Duchy of Brunswick Wolfenbuttel, declaring the qua-
lifications for succession to the Government for the future.
In testimony whereof we have ordered the present (loco.

MR. HOOK'S LIFE OF SIR DAVID BAIRD.
—" This biography of a man of extraordinary vigour of
intellect, gifted with every qualification of mind and per-
son for a soldier, and whose long and brilliant career w
chequered with events even bordering on romance, contains
attractive details and anecdotes of service so skilfully ar-
ranged by its talented editor, Mr. THEODORE HOOK. that
the work may be ranked with the ' Memoirs of Sir Thomas
Munro,' by Mr. GLEIG, or those of Lord COLLINOWOOD.
His campaigns in Italia, the successful storming of Seringa.
patam (the scene of his early captivity), his Egyptian ser-
vice, the expeditions to the Cape, Copenhagen, &c., and
his final service in command of the expedition sent.to join
Sir Jam{ MOORE in Spain, that General's disastrous
retreat, and the battle of Corunna, where BAIRD lost his
left arm, are admirably narrated in these volumes."—

LORD BROUGHAM.

Extracts from a spirited Life of Lord Brougham, in
Merle's IVeekly Register of Sunday.)

:The purchaser of every copy of this week's Register is entitled,
without extra charge, to a splendid Engraving of Loan
BROUGII,I3I, taken from life expressly for this Paper, and
declared to be the best likeness published.)

In approaching the subject of the life of this most dis-
tinguished individual, the vastness of the material that
composes it must strike every biographer. He must se,
that, like the Egyptian architect, he has to deal with

masses sufficient, individually, for statues of common men,

and hecomes almost astounded at the hulk he has to raise,

and bulk, like the celebrated Memnonian statue, combining
vastness with beauty. In recording the deeds of Lord
Brougham, we have not to mention that he stands as the
solitary successful student in a particular or confined pur•
suit, but we have to mark him as he is, the grasper of a
nation's collective mind—the promoter, not of a confined
and definite science, but the Statesman Legislator that seizes
on science for the people, and diffuses through millions the
internal light of his mind. He is no laborious pioneer fo•
the learned only ; he has not fallen into the narrow error of
doing this or that for a set : he has laboured for the national
mind that is, and the national mind of ages yet to come.
We cannot mark him in his place or his spot in any de.
partment of science, for he his generalised so vastly, yet so
beneficially, to himself and mankind, that particular emi•
nence in any separate pursuit does not seem to hay.
satisfied him, and we find him with an intellect capable of
all, and sowing pre-eminently in that field of light tha'
great national intellects only can cover. If we were
called on to produce his parall,-1 in past ;,ges, we know not
where we could rest, save on Bacon. The Novum Or-
ganon of this great philosopher appears to us to have that
deep intuition into the wants of futurity that PO singularb.
distinguishes Lord Brougham. Each intellect, plunged
many a fathom deep in futurity, saw what was rising, and
took measures to grasp it when it came before the sight.
Few are the subjects unanticipated by these gifted men :
only inferior to positive inspiration are the lights that
enable them to divine what futurity will demand.
In the early part of 1825, he was elected Lord Rector
of the Univer,ity of Glasgow, by the casting vote of Si,

„ •
James Mackintosh, in preference to Sir W. Scott. At his
installation he delivered a published inaugural discourse,

on the composition of which we have the following un-
known tale to communicate :—Mr. Conway, a gen
demur, who for many years previously to his death.
which took place at Paris not long ago, was connected
with the Times newspaper, used to relate the following
circumstance of Lord (then Mr.) Brougham, as an instance
of his extraordinary powers of mind. Mr. Brougham had
been fur two days pleading in a celebrated cause at York.
On the night of the second day, during which he had
been fourteen hours in Court, Mr. Conway called on lion
at his lodgings, and found him preparing his own supper.
roasting oysters. He invited Mr. Conway to partake of
his frugal tare, and shortly afterwards (it- being then past
midnight), be excused himself for getting rid of his guest
observing, that he had been appointed Lord Rector of
Glasgow, and that he had to leave York for that place at
3 o'clock in the morning, and to deliver in his inaugura-
tion speech, for which he bad nothing prepared, the next
day but one. Mr. Brougham travelled from York to
Glasgow; and, after having been engaged at York two or
three days in a cause requiring all the energies of his mind,
and being two entire nights without rest, delivered et
Glasgow one of the most powerful and learned speeches
that ever proceeded from the mouth of man.
Mr. Brougham was for many years the friend, and, in
some degree, the disciple, of Mr. Jeremy Bentham, from
whose great mind he could draw the knowledge so impor-
tant to himself, filtering the intellectual stream, as it were,
and leaving all its impurities behind. Mr. Bentham was
an amiable but an eccentric man. In many things a phi•
losopher, greater than any of old ; in others, weak and
erring as a chill. It was impossible for a man of
Brougham's calibre not to see and pity the imperfection-
of Bentham, although in kindness to hie great age he pre-
tended to see nothing but excellence of conception and
amiability of heart. Brougham used to dine frequently
with Bentham, at his house, in Queen-square, where
(sitting at a table calculated to accommodate only four
persons, the philosopher, the future Chancellor, and Ben-
tham's two Secretaries, who always quitted the table after
the first glass of wine) these two extraordinary men would
discuss the business of the times, and the old man would
hang with delight over his own manuscripts whilst he
explained the leading points of his plans to his disciple
and revelled in the imagery future greatness of his friend,
coupled with his own principles and his own name. The
connexion between Bentham and Brougham was familiar
second childhood, had published some silly articles in the

Westminster Review, on Utilitarian principles—a crotchet
which had lately come into his head. These articles were
cleverly, but, considering the age of Bentham, and the
excellence of his motives, severely and unfairly criticised in
the Edinburgh Review. Some busy meddler—and
Bentham was surrounded by many—told him that the
criticism of the Edinburgh Review was written by
Brougham. The poor old tnan instantly wrote to his
friend and disciple, complaining of this conduct. The
writer of this article, when dining shortly afterwards with
Mr. Bentham, was shown the answer of Mr. Brougham
the eyes of the old gentleman glistening with pleasure as
he directed the attention of his guest to that part of the
letter in which Mr. Brougham declared that he had not
only not written the article complained of but that it had
inflicted great pain upon his feelings, and he had written
to the conductors of the Review. to request, as a personal

favour to himself, that Mr. Bentham might not be again
attacked. In concluding the letter, Mr. Brougham re.
quested that he might he permitted to plead his defence in
person, and desired Mr. Bentham to fix a day when he
might dine with him in Queen-square. The day was
fixed, and due preparation was made—the organ, on
which one of the Secretaries of the philosopher was accus-
tomed to play a tune before the dinner was served, was
newly tuned—the dinner hour arrived—but no Brougham
came. On that day lie had been created a C,ancellor and
a Lord. Men of the world can excuse the Chancellor for
not having kept his appointment, or written to excuse
himself for keeping away. A man can only be made a
Chancellor once in his life, and on the day of his creation
he has enough upon his mind without thinking of a dinner
appointment with a friend. Lord Brougham is the last
man in the world to mortify the feelings of a person wi h
whom he has lived in long habits of intimacy, and we
know that he regretted his apparent indifference to Mr.
Bentham when the appointment recurred to his mind.
But there were others inter ested in making a breach be-
tween these two really great individuals, each in his pecu-
liar way ; and Bentham died, we fear, with an impression
on his mind that the Lord Chancellor and Mr. Brougham
were different men. It is due to the Chancellor to state,
that he ever spoke of Mr. Bentham with affection and
esteem. Indeed, it was impossible to know Mr. Bentham
and not to love him, in despite o! his faults.
Lord Brougham married, in 1819, Mary Anne, eldest
daughter of Thomas Eden, Esq. (brother of Lords Auck-
land and Henley), and relict of J. Spalding, Esq., by
whom he had two daughters, Sarah Eleanor died young,
and Eleanor Louisa, now ten years of age, but we regret
to say in a state of health that gives considerable anxiety
to her parents. This great man's title, in default of mde
issue, becomes extinct; but the commanding nobility of
soul that stamps him for undying time—that is no!. among
the things that perish. The offsprings of his mind will
have an endurance when feofs of nobility have been for
ages forgotten. Opposed to Lord Brougham, as the
writer always has been upon souse subjects, still let him
take, even from a partial foe, the unshared glory of the Man
of the People. There have been great and mighty minds
in England, but their splendour, in the majority of
instances, is one that is selfish ; but the glory of Lord
Brougham is, and will be, that for others' goof, and not
for individual and solitary gratification, he has devoted
the energies of his intellect. Look at him as the orator—
one whose chiefest glory is in the hour of the deeply
moving harangue, in the triumph of an instant—for no
man, though he may read orations, can think the pleasure
then equal to the living glorious comment of eye, hand,
mental development, through every mass of matter, organic
or muscular. Still, even here, he has seised the least
perishable part of the crator in the superiority of the
" morale"—for we find him the defender of the oppressed,
the airier of him that had no helper, the advocate for
the diffusion of that mind that horns within himself,
the elevator of the age in intellect and thought, the
grasper of a glorious series of issues in futurity.
The calculation of the effect of his individual oratory upon
coming ages cannot be made ; but it is evident that he is
lord of a spirit that is lord of the dynasties of earth, that
shakes the throne of the despat, reverberates through even
Russia's deepest wilds, and rouses up the nobility of man,
even there, amid lashes and torment :--that spirit is Con-
stitutional liberty. If we regard him as a Statesman—
! look at his meesures, contrast theta with any other, and
you will soon perceive his immense superiority. Look at
his Bills—what are they ? For the Education of the
Poor ; on the Abuses of Public Charity ; on Agricultural
Distress ; on Parliamentary Reform ; on Reform in
Chancery; on Defects in the Laws of the Realm, See
how the Statesman passes the confining trammels of that
profession which has chained down the wit of Scarlett, the

mind of Eldon, the senior•wrangler talent of F. Pollock,
Littledale, and numerous others, into being mere lawyers.
Lord Brougham is at once the Statesman and the lawyer.
As a Statesman, we find him of enlarged views of things ;
a fee to tyranny, injustice, intolerance ; the advocate of
the oppressed, the friend of humanity, the fearless defender
of popular rights. Look at his exertions to increase our
commercial prosperity, to reform and improve our insti-
tutions, to diffuse education. Of him it may be said,
even in opposition to the Noble Duke, his chief opponent—
.. Cedant arma toga cedat laurea ling= I"
The birds of night are ever shrieking in our ears that he
is no lawyer. He may not be superior to all men in hi,
pro ion in a knowledge of technicalities and details of
practice, but where is his equal in a general acquaintance
with the principles and history of our own jurisprudence,
and with the laws of other nations ? Where is his equal
in just reasoning on the broad, and intelligible, and un-
questioned morale of law? Who so intimately dives into
its scope and design? Who applies the means to the end
so direct as Lord Brougham? Who is there, whether in a
legislative or judicial character, that attempts, equally with
him, to secure the great end and object of legal institu-
tions, the prompt and cheap administration of justice ?
As a scholar, he is among the first of this day in varied
acquisition, in scienkfic acquirements, in literary taste.
And to what an enrhas his scholarship been devoted :
to dispel all evils of bad government ; to the crushing of
bigotry; to the expulsion of barbarism from the heart; to
the social happiness of man. The mighty faculty by which
he has achieved all his intellectual victories is in the extra-
rdinary power of condensing his intellectual energy on any
given point, by the powerful command he has over giant
mind. Of t:.is our readers may satisfy themselves, when
we tell them that, during one of the most violent day con-
tests of the Westmoreland election, when he must have
been on thorns for the morrow's result, that on his retire.

,neat for the night he wrote an elaborate article for the
Edinburgh Review. A similar instance of his power he
exhibited in the Court of Chancery. A political event of
:seat moment was handed in to him by the Editor of a
public Journal. He wrote in Court an article on the
event; listened to Sir E. Sugden on the cause; made up
his mind on the issue ; and retired to consult the Judges
on a point, as a pretext to shield himself from that person's
petulance; consigned his article to the attending Editor's
care, and returned and gave such a decision in the cause
as produced general satisfaction. Let other literati prac-
tice this abstraction of ideas, and we shall not then have to
complain that they need the flapper of Liputa to rouse
them into energy for common life. And in life and society
Lord Brougham never had but one glorious rival, Canning.
His jeux d'esprit circulate through many a wider circle
t,,an that to which they were addressed ; and on tde morale
of the moan, we think that abundantly developed in the issues
mom his mind. Our limits compel us reluctantly to close ;

incl what Young said of Bacon we repeat of Brougham :
,‘ His mighty mind travelled around the intellectual world,
and, with more than eagle's eye, saw and has pointed out
blank spaces or dark spots in it on which the human mind
❑ever shone. Some of these have been enlightened since—
iome are benighted still." And who, ((pally with
Brougham, has called up, like this mighty magician, the
spirit of the age to come ; who has been, among the
children of earth, more deeply devoted to calling into being
a race of men of higher intellectual life than Lord
Brougham? Who is there, amid men of modern day,
that will be able hereafter to point to the lofty pinnacle
to which be has elevated the human mind—who that will
be enabled to indicate science, multiplied in myriad forms,
in benifieent shapes, in moral loveliness, with the ex-
clamation, " Mine are these sons of light ; mine this
generation of productiveness ; mine this lustre of ages
that progresses to infinity and eternity, to the Father
of ages, the Illuminer of man."

THE DEAN AND CHAPTER OF LINCOLN

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—Now that so much is said respecting the merits
of Ecclesiastical Corporations, I beg leave, through the
medium of your paper, to call the attention of the public
to the following statement, which I have received from un-
doubted authority. They will then be better able to ap-
preciate the advantages those corporations confer upon the
community, and the powerful aid they lend to religion,
or tl ey will have something like reason for the opinion so
generally entertained, that they ought to be entirely re-
modelled, if not exting.shed.
The statement to which I allude respects the parish of
Normantv, near Spiral, a village in Lincolnshire, with a
population not much short, I believe, of five hundred in-
habitants. It is a vicarage of very trifling value, only a
few pounds a year, in the gift of the Dean and Chapter
of Lincoln, who are also the impropriators. About tortr
years ago, an enclosure being in contemplation, the Vicay
eapecteu a consiberaure auurtion to nor emour-
meats. The living being so extremely small, he had held
it by sequestration; but in order to assert the legal and
fair claims of his vicarage, he must hold it by institu-
tion. This, accordingly, he proposed to do, and made no
scruple of mentioning his intention to an influential
Member of the Chapter at that time. Well, Sir,
this gentleman was highly indignant. The tithes, he said,
were theirs—and he, the Vicar, had be ter not interfere.
The Vicar did not interfere. He had derived
what little preferment he possessed from the Dean and
Chapter; he might, under all circumstances, expect
more—at all events, he was extremely unwilling to be on
any but friendly terms with those from mom he had re-
ceived favours, and with whom, as minor Canon, he was
intimately connected. The claim was nor, therefore, per-
sisted in,—the enclosure went on,—the Dean and Chapter
obtained an allotment of 1,500 acres, in addition to the
tithes of other lands, which they possessed before ; and the
vicarage, with the exception of an allotment of two acres,
was left in statu quo, in miserable and hopeless poverty ;
and so it remains to this day ! Now what, Sir, have
been the moral effects of this base cupidity—this scan-
dalous avarice on the part of this Reverend body ? Nor-
manby, having no income to support a clergyman, even a
curate, has, of course, no resident Minister —and no Par-
sonage-house—and no Sunday-school ; and mark this :
until very recently, the Church, owing to its poverty, has
been served only once a fortnight, very frequently at a most
inconvenient hour, and along with two, if not three
others !

These, Sir, are facts,—let the public draw their own
conclusions from them LAICUS.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Messager des Chambres of Sunday.)

PARIS, JAN. s.—The Prince of Orange has reviewed
successively all the divisions of the Dutch army on the
eastern frontiers. To all he spoke in energetic terms on
the affairs of 1-I.lland and Belgium, and the means of
terminating them. All his speeches are near alike, and it
is difficult to say what power would now have sufficient
strength, resolution, and frankness, to prevent the breaking
out of the war with which such immense interests are
connected.

--lire hear, however, of a mediation, not armed, but
pacific, which England, in concert with France, would
offer to prevent hostilities between Leopold and William.
But if the expedition to Antwerp, and the taking of the
citadel have not been able to change the sentiments of the
King of Holland, what can be expected of him now that
the English fleet does not quit the Downs, and our troops
have returned to their cantonments?

There is a very current report (it is our duty to say so)
of an alliance said to be preparing at this moment, and the
e nditions of which are stated to be on the point of being
signed by France, England, and Austria. This offensive anti
defensive collision, it is added, is directed essentially against
the pretensions of Russia, which, on its part, would have
Prussia to support it, and might expect to gain over some
of the states of the Confederation.

Deputies, who fr,quent the assemblies of M. d'Appony,
talk of the favourable sentiments of that Ambassador to-
wards our Cabinet, which they view as a sign of the con.
veutions that are on foot for securing the peace of Western
Europe.

Austria is uneasy at the state of affairs in the
East. The Emperor Nicholas is obtaining a very
dangerous ascendency in the contest between Me-
hemet Ali and Mahmoud. England fears for
its trade in the Mediterranean and in Asia, and
also for Its commerce with northern and central Germany.
The development of the naval and military force of
Russia cannot fail to fix its attention. Hence would ori-
ginate this projected alliance with France, which would
lend its support to the Courts of London and Vienna, on
condition that its throne, and its institutions, should, if
necessary, be supported and protected.
These are the arrangements of the Cabinets, in which
at least as far as France is concerned, but a very secondary
attention is paid to the wishes of the mass, the demands
of the time, the progress of ideas, the state and the
violence of parties.
England, with its Whig Minis,ry, voluntarily adopts
our present forms, and is not embarrassed by the recollec-
tions of our two-fold revolution. But Austria is diffe-
rently disposed ; and if it unites with the French Govern-
ment, it is on condition that it shall arrest the
progress of popular ideas, and return towards its
restorations and its maxims without ceasing, and with
the firm resolution not to halt in this course till

we shall have retrograded to the days when, after an
examination of the financial, moral, and political state of

France, consent was given, in 1818, to the evacuation of
its territory by the armies of the great coalition. Let out
readers judge how far these designs may be practicable ;
let them build their hopes on this new triple alliance.
according to their confidence, in the execution of the
projects of counter revolution. For our part we confess
that we have little faith in it. We always see two opposite
principles, which cannot agree on any terms, and which
will long hinder treaties from being made and signed, when
they have only material interest for their basis.
The directors of the Lloyd's Frangais have published a
notice stating that they had not received yesterday, the
4th, and consequently had not posted up, anything like
the news circulated on 'Change, under the name of that
establishment, relative to the hostile intentions of Holland
with respect to Belgium, and the application of Leopold
to Louis Philip, for the return of the French army to Be!..
glom.
PARIS, JAN. 5.--The Courrier de l'Europe has been
seized at the Post, and in its offices, according to an order
of M. Legouidel, juge d'instruction, for the speech ad-
dressed to M. de Chateaubriand by the deputation that
waited on him yesterday.
(From the Gazette de France of Sunday.)

PARIS, JAN. 6.—Our yesterday's Number was seized
at the Post, and in our office, fer the article in which we
gave an account of the visit of 1,200 young men M.
de Chateaubriand. Five other journals have been seize,:
for the same reason. The Mode has also been seized. 1,

LISBON, DEC. )9.—Viscount Santa Martha announces
to Viscount Santarem, that the rebels, having made a sally
to the south of the Douro, were repulsed with loss by the
advanced posts, reinforced by some companies of Royalist
volunteers and the first lines of the militia. Their flight
was so precipitate, that great numbers were obliged to
escape by swimming across the Douro. As the number
of the assailants was above 2,000, it is supposed they
were to protect the landing of a more considerable corps
that intended to attack the batteries.

While the army of Don Miguel was beating the rebels,
his Majesty was reviewing the troops on the north of the
Douro, from whom he received testimonies of fidelity and
attachment.—Lisbon Gazette.

(From the Messayer des Chambres of Saturday.)
There is no doubt whatever that the report in the peti-
tions relative to the Duchess of Berry will he made to-
morrow (Sunday). It is added that the Ministry think
to obtain the simple order of the day on all these petitions,
which are of two kinds. Some cad for the execution of
the laws, and others desire that the Princess may be sent
out of France. The order of the day would be wholly
conformable to the wishes of the Ministry. It is
said, that before coming to a resolution on this
point, it has been wished to know the opinion
of M. D'Appony, and to learn what Austria iwould
think of prolonging the detention of the Princess
till a general peace. It is stated that the answer removed
all uneasiness respecting the consequences of such a resolu-
tion; that Austria seemed to feel very little interest in the
attempts at Marseilles, and an expedition of the Nest.
The Northern Courts, it seems, have not appeared inclined
to make any serious remonstrance, and after their prepara-
tions and precautions, it has been decided in the Council
not to propose the law which was announced, and in the
Committee to propose the order of the day, as we have
stated.

(From the Quotidienne.)
To-day, at two o'clock, above 1,200 young men, be-
longing to all classes of society, assembled to express to
M. Chateaubriand the enthusiasm excited in them by
his late publication, and their entire assent to the opinions
and sentiments which he has so eloquently expressed.
M. Agle Thomas, in the name of his comrades, addressed
the following words to the great author :
" Sir —Your noble voice has found an echo in all truly
French hearts; you have branded all that degrades our
social order ; you have worthily pleaded the cause of
France; you have rendered splendid homage to the
greatest glory of our age, a national glory, if ever
there was any such, because it has rejected all fo•
reign aid. The French youth are grateful for it ;
you will always find them on the road of honour,
always ready to make new sacrifices .when required, to se
cure to the country repose, glory, and stability. Accord-
ingly they believe that they ought to exclaim with you in
addressing Madame, " Madame, your son is my King."
This last phrase was received with universal bravos.

M. de Chateaubi iand appeared to be deeply affected :
He replied by thanking them for this mark of esteem,
expressing his admiration of the generosity of the French
youth, and concluded with saying—" The future, Gentle.
men, belongs to you ; you will see better days than those
which I have witnessed ; but though 1 am a man of times
that are gone by, I am at least certain, that in speaking
to the French youth of glory, of liberty, and honour, I am
using a language which, in our country, will never grow
old."

M. de C. then returned personal thanks to them, ob-
serving, however, that the words which they had
just heard were very serious. "As for me, said
I am advanced in years, and do not fear persecution ;
but you young men"—his voice was interrupted by a
thousand cries—" Persecutions! we brave them ; the
future will belong to us."

It was voted on the spot to give a gold medal to the
noble defender of the captive of Blaye. It will bear on
one side, The grateful Youth of France; on the other,
Your Son is my Ring.
The school of law has joined in this vote, through M.
Arthur Berryer, son of the Hon. M. B.

A letter from Vienna of the 26th December announces
that the young King Of Hungary is rather better.
