FRANCE.

The proces-verbal of the Comtnission of Permanence
was, it is stated, drawn up by illli. D apin, Odilon
Barrot, Jules de Lasteyrie, General Bedeau, and
Leon Faucher. The terms of the resolution, as
already mentioned, express disapproval of the mani-
festations at S story, of the provocations which led
to them, and of the non-repression which followed
them.
M. Granier de Cissagnac publishes in the Pouvoir
a very sharp article on the unconstitutional cry
of " Vive I Empereur "by some of the troops. He
says :—" The journals and the men who declare
themselves to be so much shocked by the unconstitu-
tional cry of the troops are, strangely enough, the
same who find it in good taste to laugh at the Con-
stitution ; and persons who would willingly impeach
the Minister of War for not punishing the se-
ditious cries of Vive l'Empereur,' lave re-
turned from Claremont and Wiesbaden where
they went to cry Vive le Rol.' France
now presents the strange spectacle of divided parties
who wish to see others united; of men who are
furious in opposing a king to the Republic, but who
find it scandalous that others should oppose to it an
Emperor. But, sy these gentlemen, such cries tend
to disorganize the army, aed the soldier owes
obedience to discipline, to the regulations, and to the
laws. We do not pretend the contrary ; but these
gentlemen resemble a little too much the grand lords
of the ancien regime, who claimed for themselves the
right of being Atheists, but who forced their servants
to attend mass.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
Lieutenant-Colonel Ilelgesen, the Commandant of'
Friederichstadt, has published the following bulletin,
dated the 7th inst. :—" After the enemy had kept up
during the whole of yesterday a very sharp fire
against our entrenchments and against the town, I re-
ceived towards the evening the report that they were ad-
vancing in strong columns. The external line of defence
as well as the works by which they were supported
were covered with troops, and the garrison was ready to
receive the enemy. Soon after four columns, each
consisting of one and a half to two battalions, ad-
vanced under cover of a heavy fire from the batteries
as well as from the gun-boats stationed on the Eider.
The enemy made repeated attempts to carry our
outer line by assault, but were each time repulsed with
great loss. About eleven o'clock they retired to their
old positions. According to the account given by
some of the prisoners, General Willisen had seven
battalions engaged. The assault lasted nearly an
hour. Up to the present time the prisoners brought
in are one captain, one lieutenant, and 30 privates ;
our loss is not yet exactly known."
The Independance of' Brussels has the following
under date of Hamburgh, 11th inst. :—" It is not
yet possible to form a correct estimate of the loss in
men and materiel experienced by the Holstein army
in its unfortunate attempts to take Freidrichstadt by
assault. It is generally thought that, in order not to
aggravate the general grief, aed bring to light the
enormiey of the faults committed, the public will
never be allowed to know the truth. It is now
known that the wise representations and the earnest
entreaties of several officers experienced in the
art of war, to persuade General Willisen
and Colonel Von-den Tann not to follow up their
fatal enterprise remained unheeded. Nothing could
make them renounce the accomplishment of their de-
sign ; twice were the battalions led on to the assault.
The frightful results of this obstinacy are well known ;
they are such as will long compromise the national
cause an I the fete of the two Duchies. The hospitals
and all the great edifices in Holstein, converted in
haste into temporary hospitals, are so full of sick and
wounded soldiers that the military lutendance has
been compelled to send a part of those unfortunate
victims of the war to Wansbeck, a small village a
quarter of a league from that town."
According to the Budget presented to the Chamber
of Deputies of Denmark, in its sitting of the 7th
inst., the receipts for 1831 are estimated at 131- i 1 -
lions of rix dollars banco, exclusive of the receipts
of the Duchy of Schleswig; the expenses are cal-
culated at 13 millions. The deficit will be in part
covered by the surplus of the receipts of the Custom-
house duties of Schleswig, and in part by the new
income-tax.
