PARIS, OCT. 17.

The general lists, from, which are to be taken the
juries for the approaching year, are just closed:—
These lists are in France objects of the greatest im-
portance, because no one can vote for members of
the Chamber of Deputies, unless his, name be in-
serted in them. The officers who make o/t these lists
are not bound, as in England, to insert the name of
every person who possesses the requisite qualifica.7
tions. They need not insert the names of any but
those who present themselves, and prove their right
to be inscribed by their title-deeds. The conse-
quence of this regulation is, that many persons re-
nounce their right to elect Deputies on purpose to
avoid the trouble of discharging the duties of jurors.
The Ministers, at first, thought that the number of
Liberals who would' not choose to come forward
would be very great, and as they possess officially
the power of inscribing electors in their own interest
on the lists, they, of course, thought them Selves sure
of a majority. It was with this feeling that they
'spoke of a di..solution of the Chamber of Deputies,
for they saw in that measure a means of obtaining a
new lease for seven years; but their ideas upon that
subject appear to have,undergone a change since the
final eloSing of the lists. The dissolution of the
Chamber of Deputies now appears to them to be a
measure insufficient for their purpose. To render it
efficacious, the law of elections must first be repealed.
The journal which is .considered as the most faithful
organ of the party in power, has already published
several articles to show the necessity of a change in
this law. The censorship, which has authorized the
publication of those articles, has refused permission
to the liberal journals, to answer, or even to mention
them. Some persons conclude from these facts,
that at the ensuing session the law of elections will
be changed. All that can be collected from them,
however, is, that the Ministers desire at the present
moment a change in the law ; but to-morrow, per-
haps, they will have some other object in view.

LILLE.—In one of my letters I informed you
that the Prefect of Lille had net been able to assemble more
than 83 persons as a guard of honour to receive Charles X.,
including among the number the cleiks of his office, and a
considerable number of funethinaries. Scarcely had this
guard of honour been formed, when the inhabitants were
apprized of the arrival of the Prince of Orange. At this
news all the young men immediately bestirred themselves,
and resolved to go out to meet him on horseback, to form
an escort. The Prefect, having been told of their design,
caused them to he informed that if they collected together
he should consider them as seditious persons, and should
ac-
cordingly order them to be charged by the troops of the
garrison. This menace had the desired effect of repressing
the manifestation of the feeling of the inhabitants, and pre-
' vented the accomplishment of the project which had been
formed. The King of the Netherlands has expelled the
Jesuits from his kingdom ; he gives encouragement to the
education of his people, and every other branch of industry.
These are the causes of the popularity which he enjoys in
our department, and the motives for the honour which the
inhabitants of Lille wished to pay to his son.
HENRYCHARLES X. AND riYIV.--The rre-
fats, or Sub-Prefects, being unable to say any thing to the
inhabitants of villages in order to excite their enthusiasm
in favour of Charles X. and his son, bethought themselves
of speaking to them about Henry IV. and his descendants.
A great number of the country people knew nothing about
Henry IV., and consequently the exhortations of the Pre-
fects were unintelligible to them. However, this mode of
offering incense to the Bourbons, has led one of our mayors
(the worshipful Magistrate of the commune of Spiker) into
a strange blunder. The fact is worth being known, both
on account of its singularity, and because the Mayors are
appointed by M. de Corbiere. The Sub-Prefect of Dun-
kirk sent the folloWing letter to the mayor M. he
14faire—Yon will proceed to the chief town of the arron-
dissement, taking with you the principal inhabitants of your
commune, that, on his Majesty's passing that way, an op-
portunity may be afforded for seeing what are the traits of
the descendants of Henri IV." Answer.—" Monsieur le
Sous-Prefet--I have before me your letter of the 4th of
August, 1827, concerning the traits of the descendants of
Henri IV., whom you wish his Majesty to see in the cor-
tege that is to receive him in the chief town of your anon-
, taenient. I declare to you that we have not in all our
I commune any descendants of the said Henry IV." •

STATE OF THE STRAND POLICE.

Yesterday afternoon, a Meeting of some of the
Parishioners of St. Clement's Danes, St. Mary-le-
Strand, and St. Paul's, Covent-garden, was held at
the Grange, Carey-street, to take into consideration
the propriety of addiessiag a Memorial to the Mar-
quis of Lansdowne, for an increase of the street
police, or an alteration of its present plan.
Mr. JAMES HUTCHINS of Picket-street, took the
Chair, and briefly stated to the meeting the object
for which they were assembled ; and said he was of
opinion, that it was necessary at this season of the
year to have a vigilant and effective police.
Mr. BAKER said, that some change in the police
establishment was contemplated by the Marquess of
Lansdowne; but, nevertheless, he must say, that a
meeting of this kind was necessary, because he hap-
pened to know that about this period the pickpockets
returned from their provincial excursions, and re-
sumed their plunder upon the London public. Call-
ing this meeting at this particular moment would be,
productive of much good, because an immediate re-
medy might be applied, which would ensure the
safety, not 'only of the passenger, but of the shop-
keeper: He had ascertained, beyond controversy,
that five gangs of organized thieves daily perambu-
lated the parishes included in the circular which had
called that zneetiag. Those thieves amounted in
number to eighty; they were comp(ed 4-persons
of bOth sexes, who pursued the object of plunder
professedly in different brunches of its practice,
namely,picking pockets, shoplifting, duffing, hustling,
&c. (Laughter.) He was surprised -at the laugh
of some gentlemen, but when he stated, that within
this week two persons had rushed into his shop to
escape the active onset of thieves, he believed they
Would say it was. no laughing matter. (Hear, hear I)
He then entered into a description of the persons
who patrol the Strand for the purpose alone of rob-
bery, assuring the meeting, that such was the general
daring of persons of this, description, that no shop
was safe after nightfall. Therefore, he moved, that
a Coinmittee be formed to present a Memorial to
the Marquess of Lansdowne for a more effective
street police.
Mr. BRIGHT said there was no more danger to be
apprehended now than at any other period. He was
:sent by his neighbours to oppose anyincrease to the
already heavy tax upon them.. He never troubled
himself about thieves, and did not think there was
any 'necessity for 'the Memorial.
Mr. HARVEY, of Catherine-street, said that the
groupes of prostitutes that issued from the purlieus
of White Hart-yard, who not only followed and im-
portuned all male passengers, but frequently pushed
decent people off the pavement, were an intolerable
nuisance. _ _

A long discussion took place, and ultimately the
motion for the Memorial was carried, and a Deputa-
tion was appointed to present it to the Marquis of
Lansdowne.
