Partrs, OcT. 15.—The Opposition papers appear to
have given up the personalities they made use of three or
four days ago. In order that such words should produce
any effect, they must have a proper auditory. Without
that support, the orator soon stops, astonished at the
noise which finds no echo. France is calm. She no
longer allows herself to be deceived by vague words, and
only sees in the new ministerial combination an arraege•
went of business. Before condemning the men held up to
reprobation, she desires to ascertain whether they be
capable of sustaining the interests of the country. Must the
new Ministry, then, make doctrines, or use those already
made ? One of the organs of the Opposition tells us that it 14
the heir of the system adopted March 13th, and it is worthy
of the inheritance. The Ministers, says another who
continu illy attacked N. Perier's system a few (lays ago,
reproach the Ministry because it will not continue his sys-
retn. If we were to take part in this civil war among the
Opposition, we should join the first-mentioned combatants ;
for we are sure that the present Ministry will, as much as
possible, continue the system and the work of M. Perier.
As far ss possible, it will preserve peace with honour ; for
an honourable peace is the only one which can last. The
Ministers will not beg for peace on their knees, which is

.umiliation first and war afterwards. The Opposition
threaten us with coups d'etat. They do not believe what
they say. Wanting other information, will not ti,c
Royalty of 1814, seeking an asylum in Bohemia, and M.
.le Polignac a prisoner at the Castle of Ham, teach them
the danger of violating the laws of the country ? What-
ever else may be thought of the present Ministers, no man
will deny that they are to be numbered amongst the most
enlightened men in France.

PARIS, OCT. 15.—The Ministry of October I Ith is
already condemned. The state at siege not being able to
give birth to Military Commissions, and the despotism of
the sword has given birth to the Ductrinnaire Ministry.
But this Ministry had been so proved and analysed before-
hand—its chances had been so well discussed, that it is
hardly in place btfore it is old and worn out. Let us re-
mark, though it does little honour to the Cabinet of the
Palais-Royal, that children born with the marks of pre-
cocious old age are proofs of parental decrepitude.
It is said that M. Dupin has declared that he makes no
claim to the Presidency of the Chambers, and that be will
support M. Latitte. If this be true, it proves that M.•
Dupin has more political skill than the world has given
him credit for. His resolution will decide at one blow the
question of the majority, and ruin the intrigue of the I)oc-
trinnaires, whose object plainly is to compromise M.
Dupin, by making him suffer their patronage, and divide
the Opposition, by setting the Chief of the left centre up
against M. Lafitte.

(From the Constitutionntl.)
PARIS, Ocr. I5.—A Doctrinnaire Ministry is not only
incapable of satisfying the wants of France, but it m,iy.
expose her to the evils which she more dreads. If discord
be established in the centre of Government—if the dif-
ferent branches of power are hostile to each other—it is
impossible to prevent their disputes from spreading through
'he whole society. We believe that no men are so likely
As the Doctrinnaires to carry discoid into the national re-
presentation. For that purpose the Goddess of Discord
could not choose a more proper agent than M. Guizot.
Did he not in the last Session accuse the mass of the Op-
position, and, consequently, the population, which the Op-
position represents, of such serious faults, that they were
sufficient to have placed every man at the bar as a public
criminal? The accusation, though denied and rejected as ca-
lumnies, left deep wounds, the more rankling as he, as Mi-
nister of the Interior, had in his hand all the secrets of the
police. At the moment when he made them, knowing
!hem to be false, his voice, his gestures, his countenance—
verything seemed to announce that the refugee at Ghent
only wanted the power to renew against the friends of li-
berty the most violent scenes of the Convention. And this
man is called to the Ministry at the moment when the Cham-
bers are about to meet, and when France has more need than
ver that her Representatives should forget the hateful
hellions, in order to occupy themselves with the interest
,f the country. The four new Ministers, far from being
the organs of harmony and order, will only cause trouble
mil discord. Toey have opposed nearly all the victories
vhich we have gained by the Revolution of July, and they
.bowed themselves the enemies of it. They have not only
leclared war against principles and institutions, but also
igainst men. How, then, can France see them in posses-
.ion of power and not feel a deep mistrust ? How can she
confide in the duration of her institutions, when she sees
the guardianship of them given into the hands of those
rho opposed the establishment of them? llow, finally,
can she enjoy security, when she sees her destinies placed
in the hands of those who treat her as an idol or as mad ?
If, however, the shock will be rude, the end of the con-
test will be certain. We are sure, that when the Chamber
shall have decided, there will be no question about patch-
lug up the Ministry again, and that it will be entirely
destroyed. Who, in fact, of any character, would connect
oimself with the Doctrinnaires and their instruments ?

Extract of a letter of the 14th inst. from Brussels :
At a very late hour last night a superior officer of the
French army of the North arrived with despatches from
Marshal Soult and Marshal Gerard for General Evain, our

The Augsburg Gazette of the 12th inst. contains the
following:__" On the 10th inst. Ring Otho of Greece
received the diplomatic body at 'Munich. The Pap
Nuncio delivered an address, to which his Majesty re-
turned a dignified answer, The Nuncio then presented to

conversed in the most affable manner. Colonel B turn-
gatten, aide-de-camp to the King, has set out for Munich
to receive the Greek Deputation on the frontiers. A
letter from Frankfort states that the Diet is still engaged
in arranging the military affairs of the Germanic Confede-
ration. The regulations of the fortress of Mentz have
already been definitively agreed upon. The chief provi-
sions are—that the roinimum of the garrison of Mentz, in
time of peace, shall be 6,000 men, of which one-half arm
to be Austrians, and the other half Prussian.% The
minimum of the war establishment is fixed at 12,000, and
the complete garrison at 21,000 infantry, and 600 cavalry.
Austria is to furnish 7,000. Prussia 7,000, Saxe Weimar

Norway he should occupy himself with a new organization
of the country.

Extract of a letter of the 10th inst. from Toulon:---
`' We learn by the Marengo, which le't A'.gi&'s on the
6th, and arrived here yesterday, that the ithrket of Al-
giers has riot fir some time been so well supplied as for-
merly, the neighbouring tribes having been prevented by
the advance of other tribes In arms, to the number of about
12,000 men, wit the intention of attacking us in our
stronghold. The Duke de Rovigo having received intel-
ligence of their movements, went out on the 30th ult. at
the head of 1,500 men, which be, on the following day,
divided into two coining, one under his own command,
and the other under that of Major-General Fodoas,
his brother-in-law. The first column advanced to-
wards Metijiali, and fell in with the Arabs on the
plain, about five leagues from Algiers. A charge was
rnsde immediately, and in a very few minutes the
plain was covered with the bodies of 410 Bedouins,
and the rest took to flight, although 'en times more nume-
rous than our troops. The second column moved to the
right, but fell in with no enemy, and did not hear of the
rout of the Arabs till it was joined by the Duke with his
column, and one of the chiefs as his prisoner. On his re-
turn to Algiers the Duke found COO National Guards
under arms, who had assembled spontaneously to guard
the posts which were left vacant by the departure of the
troops, which was the only disposable force, as there are
4,300 sick, and 3,200 who are in convalescent state.
Two flags were taken and brought over by the Marengo;
they are of green silk, and the lance terminates in a
knob similar to that which ornaments the staff of a
drum-major."
Legal proceedings have been commenced by the Duke
of Brunswick against M. Gisipiet, the Prefect of Police,
31. Laverderie, Commandant of the Gendarmerie, and M.
Herbert, the peace-officer, for violating his residence and
Lis personal liberty.

—Eretcr Gazette.

Umbrellas, in my youth, were not ordinary
things; few hut the macaronis of the day, as the dandies
were then called, would venture to display them. For a
long while it was not usual for men to carry them with-
out incurring the - brand of effeminacy, and they were
vulgarly considered as the characteristics of a person
whom the mob hugely disliked, namely, a mincing French-
man. At first, a single umbrella seems to have been kept
at a coffee-house for some extraordinary occasion—lent as
a coach or chair in a heavy shower—hut not commonly
carried by the walkers. The "Female Tattler" advertises,
" The young gentleman belonging to the Custom-house,
who, in fear of rain, borrowed the umbrella from Wilk's
Cofirce-house, shall the next time be welcome to the
maid's patens." An umbrella carried by a man was obvi-
ously then considered as extreme effeminacy. As late as
in 1775, one JOHN MACDONALD, a footman, who has
written his own life, informs us, that when he used " a
tine si k umbrella which he hail brought from Spain, lie
could not with any comfort to himself use it, the people
-calling nut Frenchman ! why don't you get a coach ?' "
The fact was, that the hackney coachmen and the chair-
men, joining with the true esprit de corps, were clamour-
or against this portentous rival. The footman, in 1778,
gives us further information. "At this time there were
net umbrellas worn in London, except in noblemen's and
gentlemen's houses, where there was a large one hung in
the ball to hold over a lady or a gentleman, if it r ined,
between the door and their carriages." His sister was
compelltd to quit his arm one day from the aliu-se lie drew
down on himself and his umbrella. But he adds, that
" he persisted for three months, till they took no further
notice of this novelty. Foreigners began to use theirs, and
then the English. Now it is become a great trade in
London." This footman, if he does not arrogate too
much to his own confidence, was the first man distin-
guished by carrying and using a silken umbrella. He is
the founder of a most populous school. The state of our
population might now in some degree be ascertained by
the number of umbrellas.—New Monthly.
THE FORTY-SECOND REGIMENT.—The
following characteristic anecdote of this gallant regiment
has I ttcly been communicated to the writer by a General
Officer in the Army, and who was, at the time the oc-
currence took place, a Field Officer in that regiment :
Immediately before the 42,1 disembarked in Egypt, in
1801, under the command of the great ABERCLIONIBY,
orders were given not to fix their bayonets nor to use
their muskets till they were all on shore, although the
enemy's shot was falling in and round the boats like hail.
After the regiment had formed into line on the beach,
which was done in the most cool manner tinder a destructive
fire from a French battery and a battalion of infintry on
the heights in front, Major STIRLING gave the word, " fix
bayonets." In a moment every bayonet was fist to the
musket. The Major next followed with " Prime and
load ;" but the words had scarcely escaped his lips when
an individual in the ranks vociferated, " No prime and
load, but charge baignets, and by Got immediately."
The entire regiment, as one man, instantly obeyed his
energetic command, ascended the heights at the charge,
and carried the French position with cold steel in the most
gallant style. Bit the question immediately arose, who
was the individual that ordered the Marge, when the
commanding officer hail only given the word to prime and
load. On inquiry, it was found that the person who had
assumed the command was no other than DONALD BLACK,
a private soldier, and an old smuggler from the Island of
Skye. An individual in the same regiment stated to the
writer, that on General Moottx arriving on the spat, he
told the 42d their bravery was beyond all praise; but
that not obeying their commanding officer was a great
breach of discipline, and on the present occasion the move-
ment might have had a fatal termination ; and at the
same time turning rotund to the Colonel, he admonished
him for the irregularity of his men. Colonel DICKSON
replied, " I might have held one man, but by Ge-
neral, it was impossible for me to hold a whole regiment."
But DONALD BLACK'S (in Gaelic, phtt) Highland blood
was in a dime, and being quite indignant at what he
thought unnecessary loss of time, his impatience to close
upon the foe in the Scottish manner, made him lo.e sight
entirely of the humble station which he occupied in the
corps. As SHAKSPEARF says, " All is well that ends
well ;" but had this furious charge failed, it would have
been a black day with poor DONALD. A court-martial
and the halberts would likely have been the reward of his
native ardour and impetuosity.—Scotch Paper.
