The littleneEs of ,mind which has so long cha-
racterized the measures of the French Pace)
is stated in a Paris Paper of Monday, to
have been manifested i 6 a procedure, that has
excited surprise, even in the French capital. Un-
der an order from the Prefect of Police to seize
obnoxious g 4 signs and symbols, calculated to pro-1
" pagnte the spirit of rebellion," a Commissary
entered the house of M. DOUY, in which is a
museum of the Fine Arts, from whence he car-

and opulent County of Northumberland. As in all honour-
able warfare, a soon as victory is proclaimed there should be
alt immediate., cesaation of all belligerent ibeling, so, we are
per waded, it will be pre.-eminently on the present occasion ;
and the two Honourable Gentlemen who have so manfully
striven for the palm, (though, from the very nature of things)
one only could attain to it), will now have the pleasure of re-
fleeting that honour and love of country alike urged them on.
Fortune having declared in favour of Mr. Br.t.t., we heartily
with him health and prosperity in his new career. Indeed, he
has only to follow in the footsteps of his late uncle to become

DELL'S character has been drawn out in a resplendent way at

this Election, arid so as► to captivate all hearts ; even those who
were most anxious for his rival's success, admit the gentle.
manly demeanour and fascinating complacency which, in every
thing, are his peculiar and shining characteristics.

No sooner, however, is one election over, than all the prepa.
