FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE-RECLUSIVE.

remember his name. On Wednesday we met again, but at the house
of M. Autirc (le Peyravenu ; after having conversed upon the events,
sod upon the chances of the combat which was going on, it was pro.
poled to go to St. tined, but we thought we should not be received,
sad we resolved to make an attempt with the Duke de Ragusa, to I
to Aim' the dangers of the monarchy on one side, and of the
party on the other, and to engage him to put an end to the firing,
to obtain the repeal of the ordinances, and the dissolution of
hlinistry, after which we would act as mediator% with the people, ant
duce them to return to their houses. We arrived at the general sta
front two to three o'clock. M. Lafitte spoke according to the p:1
Ales laid down. The %larthal replied, that his opinion upon
orel:natic.s was the same as ours, that he deplored the events in which
the hintlity that pursued him obliged him to bear a part; but he said a
rentidential tnission had been allotted to him, and he must accomplish
it with honour. Of his own accord he could do nothing, nor could he
retract the orders he had given. He requested of us to bring the peo-
ple back •o order, and promised to use all his influence afterwards toob.
*sin what we denutrded. JI. Lafitte remarked, that we should have no
power over tie people, if we were not armed with the repeal cf the ordi.
dancrx, and ti:dismissal of the Ministers. The Marshal replied that he
should have no it. fhtenee at St. Cloud if the population did not sub-
mit. We were ahottt to withdraw, when he asked if we would
consent in are M. de Polignac :we made no ohjection. He told us
he would inform him of our visit, and after an absence of about six or
eight minute., he tell us that the Prince tie Polignac thought that can.
dour, above all things, •eas essential in affairs, and that no one should
be ; hot the ordinances should not be repealed ; and that our
determination in thisrespect being known to him, he considered it useless
to receive us. M. Latittc then remarked, that such being the case, the
queetion could only be solved by the force of arms. We begged of the
Marshal to render an account of our proceedings to the King. He pro-
mised to do so, and to send us an answer, which he would address to
M. Lafitte, but observed, at the same time. that he expected little from
this step. As we were leaving, an officer storped us, saying, that he
had been ordered by M. de Pilignite to introduce us to hint. We were
astonished at this, and we told him that he must be deceived. He went
to the Priem to know if there was any mistake, and came to tell us that
the Prince did not wisn to see us, as the Marshal had given hint an ac-
count of our visit. We departed, and received no answer : it was not
until the evening of Thursday, the 21.1 th, that proposals of arrangement
were brought to the Hotel de Ville.

TUESDAY. DECEMBER 7.

On Wednesday, the 15th instant, the KING Will hold
a Levee at St. James's Palace, and on Friday the 17th the
Royal Family and suite will proceed to the Pavilion at
Brighton, till after the Christmas holidays.

A Cabinet Council was held this afternoon, at three
o'clock, at the Foreign Office, Downing-street.

A hope appears to be becoming prevalent, that France I
and England, those two nations which, only a few years
ago, were in the writings, even of liberal authors, desig-
nated natural enemies, are at last not unlikely to be united
in terms of mutual amity. That a treaty of alliance has
been actually executed, is undoubtedly premature intelli-
gence ; but never perhaps at any time were circumstances
so apparently propitious, for accomplishing such a holy ob-
ject, as at the present moment ; and we earnestly pray that
Heaven may speed the work, if in progress.
That the interests of all Europe, and indeed of the
world, would be served, at the present juncture, by an al-
liance between this country and France, can hardly admit
of question. The ever-growing power of Russia, and her I
great facilities, from contiguity to districts populous of t
semi-barbarians, capable cf being energized and directed at
some future period, almost to a renewal of the northern
swarming, which was so fatal in former times to the then
civilized States, although perhaps a very distant con-
tingency, may not ho one altogether chimerical ; but
there are not wanting contingencies much more probable,
and proximate, to become subjects of rational consideration,
when attempting to ascertain the future course of events in
Europe.
The advantages of popular representative governments,
and the improved legislation which is their consequence, are
too palpable not to be seen ; and where seen, not to be
envied. But despotism has still its strong bolds in Europe,
and it will not surrender without a struggle ; but as long as
the two nations, the moat improved, because the most
emancipated, in Europe, can act in amity, civil improvement
cannot retrograde: its victory in any conflict is certain— its
progress secure.

It must, however, be admitted, that the progress of go-
vernment can hardly be expected far in advance of the pro-
gress of information ; and most of the governments in
Europe, although it is usual to term them despotisms, because
the mass of the people retain no immediate influence in the
state, must be admitted to be despotisms of a mild form,
and not administered vexatiously. May it not likewise
be doubted, whether they be not keeping gradually
pace with the intellectual progress of their subjects ? The
king of PROISIA a a good Prince, and has had the assist-

ance of an able and enlightened Minister. Great improve
ments have, within these few years, been made in the insti-
'march we refer
pains to set
The Emperor
and beloved;
and compli-
las depended
too much on the adroitness of its _digtomacy, to have admitted
of any attempts of follotiirif_nis Orin- well-intentioned re-
forming policy of a. preraing Emperor. The :character
of the Autocrat is fair; nor does it appear that he has ever
shown an inclination to curb in, the intellectual progress of
his subjects. There remain only, then, Feu nIxAND of Spain
and Mtn v et. of Portugal, who are decidedly to he reckoned,
as anxiously interested in the cause of determined despo-
tism ; and their power, from not being favourably blandished
by personal virtues, cannot be of long duration.
From this view of the characters of the reigning Monarchs
in Europe, it is not natural to conclude, that any line of
policy will be adopted by them, solely upon the crusading
principle of subjugating popular rights. We say this would
not be the natural line of policy, and the prudent lino for
them to observe. But there are certain peculiarities in the
situation of each state—certain points analogous to what the
physician calls ideosynocracies—which may render it im-
possible for them to retain a line perfectly pacific, and tempt
their ambition even to a different course. Aro tho Italian States
governed at present according to the high descent, and real in-
terests of their inhabitants ? Can Austria not only preserve the
integrity of her ancient central, but exposed and imperfectly
protoctable territory ; and, at the same time, keop a people
under the yoke of a Foreign Government, who are secretly
bent on revolt ? We think not. We would ask again, is it
likely that the complicated machinery of the German Em-
pire, will continue to move on without changes ? Is it
likely that a people who, from their Teutonic lineage, rank as
perhaps the best, most industrious, and most thinking of the
tribes in Europe, can, in the midst of successful
(popular revolts, be, by force of vigilant guarding, entirely
excluded from any change ? Wo think not.
Lastly, we would ask, is it likely that the militarily sup-
ported despotism of the Russian Autocrat, the existence of
whose power depends as much upon the satisfaction of his
Sclayonian chieftiana, and their feudally attached legions, as
the safety of other monarchs depends on their people, can
retain that attachment, without opening to them fresh fields
of adventure, and subjugating fresh Provinces, with which
to employ or reward their attachment ? Wo think not—
Is it likely, that the people of Poland, fraudfully subjugated,
and hatefully retained in subjection, will not make one more
struggle? We think not. Even supposing then, theta wise po-
licy unites France and England, we cannot but apprehend that
tranquillity in the interior of Europe cannot be of long con-
tinuance ; and that even France is too warlike in disposition
to avoid joining in the foray, should it commence ; and
can all Europe be at war, and we preserve that international
impartiality, and present non-intervention, which would be
our wisdom ? To this last home question we can only reply,
we hope that such policy might be practicable.
We must here drop our speculations ; but we cannot do so
without remarking, that some attention is due in such dis-
cussions, to the news from Switzerland, which we exclusively
communicated yesterday.

We direct attention to our condensed report of the proceed-
ings in both Houses of Parliament last night. In the House
of Lords, Lord LYNDHURST moved the third reading of the
Regency Bill; upon which the LORD CHANCELLOR ex-
pressed his entire satisfaction, at the manner in which the
Bill in question dealt with the various important and delicate
questions of constitutional right and law, involved in the
subject. The Learned Cx.ixczu.on, in short, approved,
without qualification, of the adoption of the Bill ; and
it was accordingly read a third time and passed, imme-
diately upon which the House adjourned.
In the House of Commons, many subjects were touched
upon ; but no defined motion or business was closed. Mr.
O'CowNzu. held a prominent place in various ways,—first
by moving for numerous returns ; and secondly, by present-
ing numerous petitions for Reform in Parliament, and for the
Repeal of the Union. It will be seen, by the answer which
Lord PALMERSTON gave to a question from Sir E.
Kw ATCti Dv La, that it is expected the Commons will adjourn
for the holydays on the 16th lust ; and that the Govern-
ment intend to move, for as long an adjournment
as is consistent with the practice of the House. A conversa-
tion took place on the national distress, in the course of
which Mr. A. BARING stated " that a Parliamentary In-
quay into the condition of the southern parts of the king-
dom, into the districts which were now exposed to disturb-
ance, would be very important, and might be very useful.
He wished for an inquiry into the condition of the poor,
which would show the general nature of the payments they
received, the extent of their remuneration, and the defective
system under which the Poor Laws were at present admi-
nistered. It was a great misfortune, that in many places the
labourers were paid wages out of the poor rates, and he
should like, therefore, to have an inquiry into the mode of
administering the poor laws. After all the schemes which
had been brought forward on this subject, he must say, after
applying his mind to the subject too, that he had no hopes
that any Legislative remedy could be found for such exten-
sive grievances."—This declaration of Mr. BARING, if
correctly reported, certainly surprizes us. It is the most
disheartening we ever recollect to have been made
in Parliament. Had he given himself patiently to
investigation, he would perceive, our case is not quite so
desperate. We are sure retrenchment and removal of taxa-
tion alone, however desirable on general principles, will not
go to the root of the existing evils of the country.

Their Majesties gave a grand dinner last evening, at St.
James's Palace, in honour of the birth-day of the Prince of
Orange (his Royal Highness completed his 38th year yester-
day), to the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland,the Duchess
of Kent (attended by Lady Charlotte st. Maur), Prince
Leopold, the Prince of Orange, and some of the Foreign Am-
bassadors and Ministers.

The Prince of Orange visited the Duke and Duchees of
Cumberland yesterday.

PARIS, Die. 4.
St aL—lt is impossible for a stranger to m 4 rsy.long so-
journ in the French metropolis, without being forcibly struck
by the difference in the habits, manners, and intelligence of
what is termed the " lower classes," compared with the same
description of people in London. The liberality, or good
policy which has ever been conspicuous in Paris, in giving
facility to all classes of citizens, as well as foreigners, to
view the numerous collections of art with which the city
,abounds, gives a taste and relish for them amongst a class
of people for which it would be vain to seek a parallel in
London. There can be little doubt, that this liberty of access
hero to the works of art, which in our great city is confined,
almost exclusively, to the higher circles, smooths the aspe-
rities, and gives a polish to the humbler classes of society
in Paris, which strikes a foreigner with astonishment. Every
Sunday, the splendid gallery of the Louvre is open to the
public, when it is usually crowded, and among many of
those who compose the throng may be reckoned, not only
the working classes of Paris, but their brethren of the same
stamp, and the peasantry from the surrounding villages.
The circumstance of its being no holiday-opening to them,
but a place to which they can be admitted almost at will,
causes them to comport themselves with that ease, decorum,
and respect, which is very pleasing to a foreigner (at least to
an Englishman, who is unaccustomed to such sights,) to
observe. _

I have frequently listened with pleasure to the observa-
tions made, not only upon the style of painting, but on the
classical composition of the subject, from individuals whose
rank in life would little lead you to expect such knowledge;
being of no higher grade than that class of worthies in
London, amongst whom to look for a taste in painting, would
be to be informed that they know the " Wellington's Head"
from the " Spotted Dog," because the best beer was to be
had at the former. The French, in return for the privilege
of being constantly and freely admitted to the exhibitions
of the works of art and their national monuments, are to-
tally divested of that wantonness and inclination to mis-
chievous spoliation, which so strongly characterises the
lower, and even middling classes in London, when occasion-
ally admitted to share in those scenes which are almost ex-
clusively kept from them. Ido not consider that this arises
from any want of moral feeling in our countrymen. " But
when holidays seldom come, they wished for come," and
they then give way to that exuberance of joy, which stamps
the schoolboy when emancipated from restraint, and causes
them to run into those excesses and wanton acts of mischief,
which at once closed the gates of admission, and debar them
from again participating in those rational pleasures ; while
from their being constantly open to their brethren on this
side the Channel, their taste has been improved; their ve-
neration exacted, for what they prise ; and it has earned for
them the appellation of the " polite nation," a term of
which every day experience proves them well deserving.
The rage or taste for relics, prevails so strongly with the
English, that they frequently incur the censure of their
guides, when viewing objects of interest. A forcible in-
stance of this occurred a few weeks since, when, with a
party of English, I went to the Hermitage, at Montmo-
rency, formerly the dwelling of Rousseau. Oa being
shown the rose tree planted by Jean Jacques, all wished to
cut a branch from it. Knives were out to cut a slip from
the table on which he wrote the nouvelle " Heloise ;"
even the atone which covers the grave, from which his body
has been removed to the Pantheon, and the bed on which
h. died, would have been equally subject to the like pro-
fanity, but for the jealous watchfulness of our Cicerone, an
enthusiastic and intelligent Frenchwoman. Different, in-
deed, is the conduct of Frenchmen, under similar circum-
stances. They look upon these little relics with a classic
veneration, and consider it almost sacrilege to handle them
too roughly. This feeling can only be attributed to their
more intimate knowledge of the works of the great men of
their country, by the facility of intercoure with them, which
improves their taste, and gives a polish and zest to the con-
versation of the very humblest class of the Parisians, which
surprises an Englishman.
What encouragement would an individual get in or about
London, by delivering, in the open air, lectures on eter-
nity ? And vet here, at all the little fetes or fairs round
Paris, and almost on every evening during the summer, in
the Champs Elysee, lecturers of this description are to be
met with. The phenomena of thunder and lightning are
explained, elucidated by experiments with a powerful ma-
chine, and at the conclusion, electric shocks, at a sous each,
are given to those of the bystanders who are hardy enough
to receive them. I have always found these itineraut lec-
turers listened to with the greatest respect and attention, by
large groups of the working-classes of Paris, and that to
the immediate vicinity of the fascinating exhibition of that
merry personage " Punch," dancing, roundabouts, and
many kinds of amusements, that would appear more attrac-
tive. All this is listened to, and conducted, without any of
those practical jokes and quizzing, which such caterers for
public amusement would be subject to in England ?
The homage which the Parisians pay to works of art, was
strongly expressed during the late glorious struggle—when,
in the midst of the carnage, was written in chalk in various
quarters, " Respect our national monuments." This

Writing still remains, and has evidently been written by an
uneducated person, which redounds still more in their
favour.

The great aristocratic feeling which is kept up in England
shuts out, in a great measure, the middling classes of so-
ciety, from a participation in those pleasures and amuse-
ments, which are shared here in common. In Paris,
that feeling is unknown. The Peer of France, Generals,
Colonels, and others, freely mix in society, and may fre-
quently be found dining at a Restaurateur's, which
is open to all. They are accessible in conversation ;
and from occasional collision with such characters, those
in a humbler sphere of life get refined and polished
habits, which they consequently diffuse amongst their own
immediate circle : refinement is thus spread far and wide, to
the advantage of the nation, and the degradation of no
class of society. I merely give you these little hints, to
show what I consider the causes of the difference of refine-
ment, between the lower classes of France and England.
The barriers set up against your free admission to those ro-
sources of art appertaining to the nation, which are here
open to every one, and which, from the freedom of access,
their value is appreciated and properly respected. Most un-
doubtedly the same respect and spirit would characterise the
English, when once the free access bad blunted the novelty
of their fresh acquired privilege.
The vineyards and orchards in France are all exposed,
without walls or hedges. Apple trees line the roads, and the
grapes hang within reach as you walk; and yet thus with-
out protection, the property is sacred. For why ? Habit
1 has accustomed the people to see them thus exposed ; they
know that any appropriation to their own use would be se-
verely punished; and thus imagination places barriers where 1
none exist: for I can never believe, that a greater moral feel-
ing exists here than in England, but look upon it rather as i
the force of habit, and the same restraint would
prevail in England, when mutant bad reconciled the
people to the change, and worked them into a
little self-denial. I have little to acquaint you with
in the Inky of news, but what you may glean from the French
Journals. Although there is great preparatian for war

going on, in every department of France, it is generally
thought that no war will take place. The Government
however, appear to think that the beet way to preserve pen,
is to be prepared for war, and for that reason every
exertion is being made. Marshal Soult, the Minister
of War, rises, it is said, every morning at four,
to superintend his multifarious avocations, and by his
activity prevents any slumbering amongst those con-
nected with his department. The army is to be increased
to 500,000 men, and there will soon be nearly 2,000,000 of
the National Guard all completely armed—Government
having issued an order for them to equip themselves with the
least possible delay, and at the same time stating, that those
who require it, and make the application, shall be remune•
rated fur the expense they may have been at in thfl,
equipment. This order has been given for the purpose of
saving time, and will no doubt greatly facilitate the desired
object. The aptitude for military tactics is wonderfully
conspicuous in France. No nation perhaps in Europe chi,
compete with them in this particular ; it shews itself from
their very infancy ; and as in England it is coalmen to se,;
boys carving out boats and ships, so here you see boys
armed with their pigmy swords and muskets, performing, or
rather using military evolutions ; and on a Sunday, hundred,
are to be seen dressed in the full costume of the 'Nationli
Guard, marching by the sides of their fathers—soldiers of s
larger growth.
The French government declare that tho desire of con.
quest, or extension of territory, will never induce them 0
take up anus ; but that an armed intervention of any °the:
power will be a signal for them to march. The king by
declared that at the first report of a cannon he will plan
himself at the head of the National Guard, to preserve their
liberty, or die with them in its defence ; and such is the
ardour of the nation, and the enthusiasm with which these
words of the king have been hailed, that I consider every
Frenchman capable of bearing arms, would range himselt
under the tri-coloured flag.
P.S. The enrolment of volunteers succeeds mush better
than was even hoped for ; upwards of 13,000 have enlisted
in the course of the last seven days, in Paris alone. Is is
not only in the War-office that activity prevails, it is equally
so in the Maritime Department ; there is a talk of a large
armament being fitted out from Toulon.

PARIS, Dtc. 5.

Stn—The joy and confidence expressed by the Parisians
at the prospect, or rather, as it is confidently asserted, the
certainty of a treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive,
being formed between France and Great Britain, is very
pleasing for an Englishman to contemplate, and proves the
respect and awe which is entertained of his country, in spite
of the many assertions promulgated, with the endeavour to
prove the contrary. If England only proves true to her-
self, she has nought to dread from enemies, either within or
without ; and, leagued with the power of France, they may
defy the world in arms. Two grand, free, constitutional
monarchies, with kings chosen by the voice of the people,—
let them but be joined in fraternal union, and Europe will
become free. There will be no seed of their sallying forth,
to vie with the days of knight-errantry, for the purpose of
succouring the oppressed :--despotism and despots will
tremble at the prospect of such a veritable Holy Alliance,
and grant freedom to their enslaved people, in order to pre-
serve their tottering thrones. Truly did Canning predict
that war, when next it came, would be a war of opinion.—
Dreadful and sanguinary will be the struggle, but the peop:e
must eventually prevail over their oppressors ; and the first
cannon that will be fired against liberty, will be the signal-
gun that will insure it, to every enslaved nation in Europe.
May oppressed, ill-fated, dismembered Poland awaken at
the sound ! and once more take her station amongst
nations.

The French journals, echoed by the people, are lavish in
their encomiums upon England. May this be sincere and
lasting ! They speak of her, as the only power they had to
cope with, in the last Continental struggle, which termi-
nated at Waterloo ; and that, without her aid, the alliance
of all the European powers would have assailed them in vain.
There is much of truth in this ; though it appears some-
what strange, that the good people here, with all their
acuteness, have been so tardy in discovering it, or that tile!
should have been so uncandid, as not to have confessed it
before. But it is now their interest to be candid : they
know the value of an alliance with a brave and free nation.
like England ; and their strength, by having come in con-
tact with them. Pity it is, that England sacrificed the lives
of her brave warriors, and impoverished her coffees, to restore
a besotted family to a throne, who have in every way shown
themselves unfit to rule ; and whose hardened obstinacy viii
have to answer for seas of blood, shed in their unworthy
cause.

The Emperor Nicholas, without doubt, looks with a
watchful jealous oye upon the march of freedom in Europe.
and is not void of fear, that it may eventually reach his
regihi of despotism. Let him be wary. The time is fait
approaching when the word " despotism" will only be
known as a scarecrow ; and nations awakened from their
lethargy, will wonder why they so long submitted to it.
When the struggle comes—as come it will—let them look
on and watch the strife : or if they interfere, let it be to aid
the rights of mankind, against those who would keep them
in bondage.
It is a curious coincidence that William the IVth of
England, and Philip the First of France, raised to the throne
nearly at the same time, should hare become two of the
most popular monarchs that have filled their resrective
thrones for ages. Their facility of access. their unostenta-
tious citizen manners, and above all, their devotion t) the
interests and happiness of their subjects, render them den-
te all hearts, and will give a lasting lesson to Prince,.
that if they covet the love of the people over whom they
are destined to govern, they must consider that they are
mutually made for each other—that they can have but one
common interest—the prosperity and the honour of
the Nation. Our Queen, too, may vie with the
Royal Consort of Great Britain in condescension and
affability. The sick and wounded at the various Ilesr itsi4
hare been visited by her, accompanied by young Princes,o.
with all the care and tenderness of a mother ; the TCIII01!:•
brance of it will be long and gratefully cherished by those
who have partaken of it.
Commerce and industry still suffers very severely. 1
however cannot be attributed to the events of July : much
capital has found its way out of France. More than twentY
milliards, it is stated, have gone to gorge the cormorant
cravings of their oppressors, by way of indemnity. A great
deal of capital has also been sunk in public works—in minim:.
improving the roads, &c. and in a variety of ways with
private companies, which do not yet give any ade-
quate return. Of course in such times distrust arise! :
and by withholding capital, aggravates the general dis-
tress, and hastens the crisis which a little timely assist-
ance might avert. The government, under every pos-
sible assistance, alleviates the pressure under which com-
merce labours ; and it is to be hoped that the new spirit which
seems to have taken root in the French capital, for the last
few days will cause the coffers to be unlocked, and money to
circulate more freely, which will soon dispel the gloom which

however, are not so gloomy, but some light, patriotic, con-

taxes for 1821, and addressed letters, stating, that in
case of a war against their liberties, they will be found
ready to come forward with the whole of their property for

shows a confidence in the strength and honour of the new
Government, of which every observing man must be con-
inced it is deserving.

You will find the French journals chiefly filled with the
examinations of the ex-Ministers, which took place in
October. Their removal to the Luxembourg, and their in-
teresting trial will soon now take place ; and it is to be hoped
that all will be conducted calmly and temperately, without
any of that exciting and turbulent spirit which so recently
disgraced the streets of Paris. Tho Algeria° expedition is
now very little spoken of ; the enthusiasm at its first occu-
pation seems quite to have worn off : but I suppose General
Clausel will winter there, as his lady is now at Toulon, and
about to embark to join her husband. The troops are re-
ported to be in the beet possible order, and, in the last ac-
counts, General Clausel was about to start, with a large
body of them, to chastise some impertinence of the Bey of
Titteri. Yours, &c.

The 2d of September, the young conscripts of L►val set
off, amidst cries of Five le Roi ! Vive Louis Philippe!
They were accompanied by the National Guard, who
conducted them with music, until the time they left tho
city, which they quitted for Mayence, eight leagues from
Laval. The enthusiasm of those young men recalls the most
splendid days of our triumphs, and proves, in the Depart-
ments of the West, they are animated with the same senti-
ments to defend their country and the national indepen-
dence...-Moniteur.

Lord Granville is shortly coming as Ambassador at Paris.
He is expected by the end of the month to replace Lord Stu-
art de Rothsay. The last will retire with the esteem and
regret of all France. We shall not forget his noble conduct
after the days of July.--Journal de Paris.

The Government are going, upon the proposition of M.
de Montali►et, Minister of the interior, to grant daily reliefs
to the Portuguese refugees. To please Don Miguel, the
Minister, Polignac, had left these unhappy expatriated men,
to die of hunger and misery.—ldea.

The word Alliance, offensive and defensive, between
England and France, which circulated yesterday at the
Bourso, did not fail to stir up lively imaginations. We are
well persuaded that the treaty is not concluded, but we be-
lieve that it only waits for some preliminaries to be arranged
before it will be.—Messager des Cliambres.

Ault ERs, Nov. 22.—The English Consul appears to
view with jealous eyes, the ameliorations created and pro-
jected by the General-in-Chief. Notwithstanding that
agent has announced, that when he knows what will be fate
of Algiers, he wishes to fix his residence there. He pro-
poses to purchase considerable tracts of land, and cultivate
it after the manner of his country. The inhabitants of the
regency begin to appreciate the effects of the loyal and wise
administration of Count Clause). You can have no idea of
the change which it has operated in their minds. France is
indeginous, all the world takes part in the glory which is
naturally reflected upon the chief of the expedition.—
Squares, fountains, a theatre, have been resolutely experi-
mented upon, and the results have been immense : see in a
little time what he has done for us. We owe to him the ap-
proaching defeat of the Braggart of Titteri. France will
owe to him one of her finest colonies. Four steam-boats
are placed at our disposal, two here and two at Toulon ; this
greatly facilitates our correspondence with France. This
measure is one of high importance, and we have cause to
felicitate ourselves upon it.—.Le Patriote.

The following letter has been addressed to all the Jour-
nals, and is alluded to, in the extract above from the Jour-
nal de Paris :—" Gentlemen, the moment approaches when
the grave and solemn discussion will be opened. Those dis-
cussions, destined to enlighten the Judges of the last Mi-
nisters of Charles X. will have entire France for witness;
and it is for the periodical press, to which is reserved the
duty to transmit these discussions. We doubt not that the
spirit of justice will animate you. Novertheless,there is a press-
ing solicitude which you will easily comprehend; we believe
that you will perform your duty in common with those who
claim it; and in the accounts you will render, show all
your exactitude and all your impartiality. Another motive
still directs us. The theory of the great questions of this
memorable process, will give birth without doubt to contro-
versy; but when these questions are to come in judgment,
when the problem touches the lives of men, when the
solution prepares or prejudges a decree, we have the right
to expect, in their anticipated discussion, a prudent reserve,
and a just discretion.
We demand, for the accused,in the difficult position in which
they are placed, that the process may not be judged by those
mho are at once the guides and organs of public opinion,
before the defence shall be known. In seeing portions of
the procedure freely published, and in consequence open to
criticism several days before the opening of the discussions,
r.e have thought it necessary to make this appeal to your
justice. %%hid' should not be misconceived, and to forearm
the conscience of men well, against the danger of precipitate
iiitignient. The defenders of the former Ministers arc, De
Nlartignac, Mandaroux, Vertamy, Hennequin, Langer,
Cremeux.

The public attention is momentarily captivated by the
grand process about to commence. They read with avidity
the written instructions ; they seek with ardour in the depo-
sitions what will be the probable issue of this great cause.
As for us, we have no need of instruction from the defen-
ders of the accused, to understand that the periodical press
Fileuld be, as France, patient and calm during this impor-
tant lawsuit. We doubt not, but that our citizens will join
with us, in bearing towards the rifilicted, all moderation, and
let all be decided by the independence of the Court of
Peers. The accused are under a strong protection,
that of the magnanimity of the nation. We must not, not-
ithstanding this curiosity so natural, turn the mind from
ti. 4, great question of war. We approve and applaud the
dignified mid measured language held by the ministry, and
the enthusiasm with which the words of the President of the
Council Mat; received. But this movement must continue,
and then nothing will turn us from a generous prepossession.
It is very certain that the armaments which have beenraised,
I are been in consequence of the hope, which the powers who
ru(eaced us entertained, of the support of the Duke of
ellington. The fall of that hero has by chance singularly
!IR;lppointed the friends of Russia, Prussia, and Austria.
he composition of the new English ministry, is entirely
cheering. The whig party finds itself blended with the con-
tinental party. In fact, Mr. Brougham is Chancellor, and
he has long proved that he belongs to the liberal party in
England ; the title bestowed on him adorns the movement
overthrew Wellington, although it drew upon him the
sarcasms of his enemies. When the great whig Pitt bit-
eable Lord Chatham, who thought it prudent to laugh ? Be-
Fides, the change in the English ministers, each day bears the
certainty that the English people themselves are averse to
"4r; they paid too dear for the triumphs of 1814, to
,
anxiu..B fur new glory, which will bring additional

fetters in its train. They have elsewhere manifested their
opinion iu a powerful and energetic manner. On our side,
our predictions are realized. The people who carried the
yoke of 1815 have shook it off. In the north, they re-
member the deceitful promises of 1813; the King of Den-
mark beheld the fine Duchy of Holstein ready to escape
him; Germany is full of partial troubles; Switzerland has
troubled days, and its little oligarchy trembles.
Without doubt our adversaries see their danger. The
question agitated is one of life and death to them. They see
in peace, dangers almost as fertile as war ; if they decide on
war, little chance of success is offered to them, and will
bring about revolutions in their states. Those who have
studied the first coalition of 1791, know well that was de-
cided on, contrary to the advice of all the enlightened coun-
cillors of the Princes who waged the war. All the re-
sults of the coalition were anticipated in the councils of
Prussia. There are moments in history which de-
nies political necessity. Governments have their destinies
the same as men ; and when they take a resolution, in a
state of inflamed passions, they do not presume that it may
be a bad one. Thus, then, we must be ready for every thing;
if we turn our regards towards the Luxembourg, we must
not lose sight of our menaced frontiers ; here, we are, agi-
tated by the lives of some men ; there, is agitated the
liberty of France, and of the entire world.—Journal deParis.

CITY, ONE O'CLOCK.
Console, which left off yesterday at 831 to 1, for the
account, opened with au improvement this morning, at
831 and went up to 83i ;at present they are 831 ;
Reduced 82j. Little business is doing at present.
In the Foreign Market, Spanish Bonds are somewhat
improved, and have been done at 14! to 1. In other Fo-
reign Securities little or nothing doing.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
We remain in the same dull state with regard to intel-
ligence ; nothing of importance worth communicating to the
present hour. Consols, which were looking up in the early
part of the morning, and were done at 83} for the account,
have, within a short period, receded to 831 sellers.
A French Paper states, that the question now pending in
regard to Luxemborug, and the decision of which is to be
loft to a Congress, and should this decision terminate in a
military intervention, France will not regard it as a subject
to cause a war.

In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing ; most of
the foreign prices are much the same as yesterday.
