TRENCH PAPERS.

It is said that the first two bills to be presented to the
Chambers next Session will be, the one for the expro-
priation of property for the purposes of public utility, and
the other relating to the duties on the importation of fo-
reign iron.—Journal du Commerce.
Exti act of a letter of the 2d inst. from Hanau :
" The execution of the arbitrary decisions of the Frank-
fort Diet of June 28, meets with decided opposition on
the part of the people. The town of Hanau, one of the
first that protested against theM, has just shown that its
protest was not vain words ; and it is probable that the
courage its population have displayed may tend to save the
liberties of Germany. The Government had decided upon
dissolving the association, which has existed at Hanau for
some months. The President of the Society, Count
Belazel-Sternan, declared at one of its meetings, that if
Ministers violated the article of the Charter of Hesse-
Cassel, which permits political meetings, the tribunals
would be applied to for redress. The Government, how-
ever, persisted in its resolution. A meeting of the Society
having been announced for last night, the streets and mi-
litary posts were occupied in the morning by strong pla-
toons of Genedarmes. The National Guard also was
called out, and a detachment of armed eit,zens, in con-
junction with the Gensdarmes, took possession of the room
where the meeting was to be held. At seven o'clock in
the evenin a about 800 members of the society presented
themselves for admission in pursu ince of the right secured
to them by the Charter to hold po itical meetings. The
agents of the Government imagined that the National Guards
would concur in their measures; but they made no objec-
tion to the constitutional demand of the Society.—
The Naional Guards only came to prevent, by their
interference, a conflict which might have become very
serious had one arisen. Toe armed citizens allowed the
Society to enter ; the sitting was opened, and speeches
were about to be delivered, when a Commissary of Police
entered the room, saying—' Gentlemen, the Prince Co-
R-gr nt has been pleased to direct that your meeting be
dissolved immediately.' Upon this a general cry of dis-
approbation arose, the Charter was again appealed to as
authorizing such meetings; the Prince was reproached
with rendering himself unworthy the confidence which the
people of Hesse had placed in him ; and, finally, the Com-
missary of Police was conducted out of the room, with
the declaration that such unconstitutional demands would
not be complied with ; and that moreover, the tribunals
would be applied to for justice against the Ministers who
violated the Charter, and against the Commissary of Po-
lice himself, fbr executing an illegal order. The sitting
lasted several hours. The members of the Soci-ty th.ra
accompanied beyond the town the young men of Frankfort
who had attended the meeting. In the morn!na the lat-
ter had ben informed by the authorities of a Hessi in vil-
lage, half-way between Frankfort and Hanau, that if they
attended the meeting at Hanau they would be imprisoned ;
they, however, had the courage to attend, and in the night
returned to Frankfort, under the protection of the armed
citizens of Hanau. The Committee of the Society is
about to commence proceedings against the unconstitu-
tional measures directed against them. It is certain the
tribunals will not pronounce against the Charter. Tee
constitution will be defended by every class of the people.
It is nut sufficient to draw up ukases at Frankfort, the
difficulty consists in carrying them into execution.
We have already announced that the Procureur-General
of the Royal Court of Aix had appealed against a decree
of the Ch anbre des Mises en Accusation of that Court,
ordering that the Count de St. Priest, M. de Bourmont,
jun., and the other passengers of the Carlo Alberto,
should be set at liberty. This appeal occupied the Court
of Cassation on Thursday and yesterday, the pleadings in
support of the appeal, and those for the maintenance of
the decree of the Royal Court, being of great length.
The Court, after these had been gone through, retired at
half-past eleven o'clock, and, at a quarter past five, re-
turned to the bench, and delivered a judgment to the
following effect :—" Seeing that the principles of the
law of nations cannot be applicable to ships and vessels,
which, in contempt of alliance or neutrality, commit hos-
tilities upon any territory whatever ; seeing that the
Chambre des Mises en Accusation of the Royal Court of
Aix has admitted, in fact, that there was against the Go-
vernment a plot which had been begun to be put into
execution on the part of the Carlo Alberto, by landing
the Duchess of Berry on the coast of France, and by car-
rying on board persons having co-operated in this plot;
seeing that the fact of the Carlo Alberto having touched
on the coast in consequence of damage, cannot be invoked
by this vessel, which took on board passengers plotting
against the French Government; the Court quashes and
annuls the decree of the Chambre des Mises en Accusation
of the Royal Court of Aix, as to the clause which ordeis
the respondents to be set at liberty, the remainder of the
decree having its full and entire effect, and sends the affair
before the Chambre des Mises en Accusation of the Royal
Court of Lyons."
A letter from Madrid of the 29th ult. states that several
persons have been arrested at Cadiz, and others have been
expelled from the town, on suspicion of entertaining pro-
jects hostile to the Government.

- Letters from Barcelona announce that M. de Corriere, a
natural son of the Duke of Berry, and M. Falcon, his pre-
ceptor, both represented to be active agents of Holyrood,
have lately quitted that city, and drawn nearer to the
frontiers.

The Milan Journal says, " The Chamber of Com-
tnerce of Geneva, desirous of testifying to the King of
Sardinia the gratitude of the merchants, for the us,Atil re-
forms ordained by that Sovereign in favour of the free
port, has bad a statue, with an inscription in honour of his
Majesty, erected in the Palace of the Chamber."
Oa the 2d inst. the editor of the Precurseur of Lyons
was acquitted upon the fifth and last indictment against
him. A telegraphic despatch announces that en the 3.1 a
farewell dinner was given to M. Odill on Barrot, and that
on the 4th he quitted Lyons for Paris.

Marshal Victor, Duke de Bel!une, with his family, ar-
rived at Bordeaux on the 3d inst., on his way from the
Pyrenees to Paris.

A letter of the 3d inst., front Geneva, states, that the
late conspiracy at Berne had ramifications at Basle and
Neufchatel. The plot was of a very serious extent, arid
on the point of execution when discovered. Upon domi-
ciliary searches being made at Berne. armed peasants were
found concealed in the houses of the conspirators.
Prince Csartoryki, late Chief of the National Giivern-
meat of Poland, has returned to Paris front London, where
lie passed several months.

The Baron il'Andlau, Gentlemen of the Chamber of
Duke Charles of Brunswick, has ,ildressed the following
letter, dated Sept. 7, to the Editor of the Message,- des
Chambres The erroneous articles upon the Duke of
Brunswick that have been published by some of the jour-
nals of the capital have at length induced him to bre.ik
the silence which he finds himself unable any longer to
keep. His Highness, therefore, has eh aged me to sum
up in a few lines an answer to the insinuations respecting
him that have been thrown out since his arrival. He
toes not think it possible for him to be exposed to a re-
fusal of hospitality on the part of France, so lont, as he
shall not undertake anything contrary either to her laws
or to her interests, and it is within these limits that he
has kept himself, and will ever keep himself. His High-
ness has never kept up any relations with the Duchess of
Berry, or other members of the Court of Holyrood, either
directly or indirectly. It is completely false that his
Highness has ever caused any purchases of arms or enrol-
ments to be made. Hi Highness never went to Neuilly ;
he never remitted to General Romarino the money men-
tioned by the Swabian Mercury, and after it by the jour-
oats of the capital. His Highness has not the slightest
knowledge of M. Dumarre, who has been repre-ented as
his agent. Such persons as are desirous of learning how
far the absolutist ideas attributed to his Highness are foun-
Jed may apply to himself, or even to M. Mauguin, to
know what impressions remained upon his mind atter the
conversations he has had with his Highness."

OLYMPIC THEATRE.-Last night, a new
piece, in one act, entitled Cupid, was brought out at this
Theatre. It is of the burlesque school, and was received
with much applause and laughter. Mr. J. REEVE was
Cupid, and danced a la TAG uom in the bro.dest style of
humour.

GOETHE'S FIRST LOVE.—Shortly after
GOETHE came front the University of Leipsie he settled in
Alsace, where his first love was a young maiden named
GRETCHEN (MARGARET), who has given her name to the
heroine of Faust. Indeed the name had for GOETHE the
sime charm as MARY for Lord BYRON, who says—" I
have a passion fur the name of MARY."

The ci-devant King of Spain, JOSEPH Bo-
NAPARTE, is, it seems, extremely anxious to domicile him-
self somewhere in this country. He has been to look at
Rocltetts, the seat of the late Earl St. VINCENT, with
which, it is said, he was so well pleased that agents
were instructed to treat for the place, provided the man..
don was found to be sufficiently capacious for the accomino-
ilation of his numerous suite. The same agents also paid
a visit of inspection at Thorndon Hail, late the residence
of Lord PETRE, who has removed into Hertfordshire.
With regard to the former, the idea has been abandoned ;
but we are told that negotiations are now pending with
respect to Thorndon Hall, which is considered, in all re-
spects, a suitable residence for the illustrious person in
question.—Kent and Essex Mercury.
