with the assistance of his spies, in trumping up some
conspiracy, the details of which shall so frighten
Frenchmen, as to induce them to charge him with the
safety of the " best of Republics." Of course the
Consular accession to the Kingly power will not be
laid down, when the commonwealth pronounces itself
out of danger. Thus does the King of the FRENCH
expect to go increasing his power, till he has brought
France to such a state of abject subjection, that his
personal mandate shall have the same force among his
subjects as an Ukase of the Czar of MUS.COVY among
the boors of Russia, or a Firman of the Sultan
among the worshippers of Allah and the Prophet.
But France cannot be enslaved. An absolute des-
potism can never again exist in that country. The
people are universally too enlightened to submit to the
yoke which LOUIS PHILLIPPE is preparing for them.
To succeed in his schemes of absolutism, the KING
must first make the people of France unlearn all that
they have learned—an effort of which not even 'Kings
are capable. He might strip the body, but there is
no such thing as stripping the mind ; and until the
mind of France be stripped she cannot be deprived of
her liberties. She is too mighty for coercion, and too
enlightened for a voluntary submission to the will of a
despot.

the Report on the new law for abolishing the freedom
of the French Press, will be submitted by M. SAUZET,
to the Chamber of Deputies this day (Tuesday.)
Some amendments in the first project, or draft of
the Bill will be recommended ; but the spirit, in all its
rancour, will be carefully preserved. Of course it will
be readily adopted by the majority, and thus another
step will be taken towards the precipice over which
the Government will soon precipitate itself. If
the few patriots who yet remain in the Chamber of
Deputies meditate a signal service to their country, we
call upon them to rise in a body, and, after making a
solemn protest in the Chamber against the whole con-
duct of the Government, to quit it, and never again to
re-enter its walls, till they witness the restoration of
\ political liberty in France. They owe it to themselves
and their country, not to assist by their presence at the
mockeries about to be enacted in the legislative Cham-
bers. What have MM. ()DILLON BARRET and
HENNEQUIN to do under a roof which covers such
detestable apostates as MM. TIIIERS and GuizoT ?
Why not leave these wretched tools of tyranny to their
fate ? They only stay a judgment which will be the
more terrible the longer it is delayed. Ten righteous
men would have saved a city from to fires of Heaven ;.
but less than three hundred honest Senators would not
save France from the horrors of another revolution.

The judgment of the Court of Peers pronounced on
Thursday last on fifty-nine of the Lyonese prisoners
will, when. known throughout France, fill the public
mind with detestation of that most corrupt and imbe-
cile assembly. There was one novelty about this de-
cision which sounds rather strangely in English ears
—namely, that the prisoners are condemned to pay
the expenses of the trial. Now all the world knows
that this trick was resorted to, for the purpose
of escaping the odium of pronouncing their little
property—all that remains towards the maintenance
of their wives and children—confiscated to the
Crown. The Government knew that -to sentence
them to bear the expenses of a trial conducted with
such profuseness that a Court was erected for the
mere purpose of carrying it on, must he equivalent to
a co:ifiscation of property. But such a robbery of
the prisoners will only accelerate the downfal of the
body by whom.it has been sanctioned. If the continued
incarceration and exile of the men of Lyons depends
solely upon the regal power of the House of Orleans, he
could have but few pretensions to a spirit of prophecy who
would express a doubt of their liberation long before
the period fixed upon by the most corrupt and un-
constitutional Court of Justice in France.

The friendly relations of France with the United
States of America are again in danger of being sus-
pended. The French Ministerial Journals of Sun-
day complain that Mr. LIVINGSTON, since ' his
arrival at Washington, has rather fomented the
jealousies of President JACKSON, who is therefore
very likely to pay no regard to the resolution of the
French Deputies, demanding an apology for his for-
mer message to Congress. They further state that
Mr. LIVINGSTON is much attached to the interests of
Great Britain, and that the PRESIDENT has already
resolved to send him as Ambassador to the Court of
London.

The news from Spain, contained in the Paris
papers of Sunday, is of the most distressing nature.
A spirit of insurrection is rife throughout all the
Northern Provinces, the people everywhere calling out
for the constitution of 1812. The Madrid Gazelle
of the 9th instant announces that Lieutenant-General'
Don .JOSE MANSO has. been appointed to succeed
LLAUDER in the Captain-Generalship of Catalonia.
LLALTDER had made himself so hated by the people
that he was constrained to save his life by flying with
his family into France. NotTvithstanding these dis-
turbances the Carlists are losing ground in the North.

-York Papers to the 25th ult., have been re•
ceived. They bring, advices from Mexico, which ate
however, of no political importance.

We have received German Papers of the latest dates.
A Frankfort Paper contradicts the report circulated by
the Augsburgh Gazette, of the discovery of a propa-
gandist conspiracy against the life of the Czar of
RUSSIA. His Imperial Majesty has issued Ukases
for raising recruits, at the rate of five for every thou-
sand souls. We find in these Journals a long but
important extract from a letter from Brazil, bearing
date the 15th of April, which cannot appear to-day as
we are pressed for space.

THE LOVE OF FLOWERS.—The appearance of a
new edition of that elegant little work " The Language of
Flowers," will be welcome to all those who feel an interest in the
pursuits of the garden. This improved edition will be revised
by the editor of " The Forget-me-Not," and, among other
new features, will contain a Floral Calendar, and a Dial of
Flowers. The little volume is dedicated by gracious permis-
sion to the Duchess of Kent.

The Journal de Smyrne of June 27, has the follow-
ing On the 21st. inst., Nazin Bey, brother of the Go-
vernor of Mitylene, was killed by a pistol shot by his own
son, Imin Bey, a youth only fifteen years of age. This parri-
cide has produced a deep sensation in the island ; but, strange
to say, the murderer is more pitied than the victim, so much
was Nazin Bey detested for his cruelties and ferocious
character."

SuiclDE,—Thursday morning Samuel Wainwright,
farming man to Mrs. Morton, of the Swan Inn, Mansfield,
was found dead, suspended to a tree in a hedge-row of one
of the fields near the poor man's dwelling. The unfortunate
man has left a wife and seven children (one of them a cripple),
and she is now near her confinement.

A clergyman from Hickling was brought to the
Castle, Norwich, on Sunday night, on the charge of having
shot his maid-servant.—Norwich Mercury.

They have been making quite an exhibition of the
wretched Fieschi in Paris. The Minister, to oblige some of
his female friends, has contrived that the murderer may be
seen through a grating upon his bed, where he amuses himself,
in the intervals of his examination, with forming bouquets of
flowers.

Two gooseberries were this season grown in a garden
near Bishopswearmouth, each measuring upwards of four and
a half inches in circumference.

An unusual number of thieves arrived in Brighton
last week, to attend the races. On Saturday the plate of Dr.
Keating, of the old Steyne, was stolen, but the police were so
vigilant that it was recovered the same evening, it being traced
to the Blue Coach office, where the thieves had booked it to
be dispatched by the mail to London....,Brighton Guardian.

MUNICIPAL REFORM BILL.

GLASTONBURY, SOMERSETSHIRE.
The address of the inhabitants of Glastonbury to Lord Vis-
count Melbourne was sent off on Saturday to C. J. Kemys
Tynte, Esq., M. P., with a request that the Hon. Member
would present it to his Lordship at the earliest opportunity.
The address is signed by both the magistrates of the corpora-
tion (the Mayor and Justice,) by a majority of the capital bur-
gesses, by a majority of the resident corporation, and by a very
large majority of the respectable tradesmen and inhabitants of
the town.

" To the Right Honourable William Lord Melbourne :
" We, the undersigned inhabitants of the ancient corporate
town of Glastonbury, in the county of Somerset, consider it
our duty to express to your Lordship the high sense we en-
tertain of your conduct as a Minister of the Crown during a
season of unprecedented difficulty.
" The honest manliness, the undaunted firmness, the well-
tempered yet inflexible decision you have manifested through-
out the honourable and patriotic course you have taken, call
for our unqualified admiration."
" We feel bound, in gratitude to your Lordship, to offer you
the assurance of our undiminished confidence in your adminis-
tration.

" In this assurance we know that we are joined by the loud
voice of an enlightened nation ; upon whose support may your
Lordship rely, and our cause must triumph over a corrupt and
factious Opposition."
