fected by the vote of the Char-fiber of Peers, which
you announce to me in the letter I have this moment
received; t 6 delay an instant in requesting you to he
the organ of informing the Chamber—until I can in
person testify to them how much I am touched by
their proceeding—of the emotion which their unani-
mous vote has caused me.

" Nothing could he more conformable to the dearest
wishes of my heart than to see the statue of my be-
loved son, whom I can only lament, as close to mine
after his death as he had himself been to me during the
whole time that Providence preserved him to me.
" The Queen and all my family join with me in be-
seeching you to be the interpreter of our sentiments
to the Chamber of Peers.
" You have long known, my dear Chancellor, what
my feelings are to yourself, and I have great pleasure
In again repeating them to you on this occasion.
" Your affectionate,
" LOUIS PHILIPPE."

The disturbances in the English manufacturing
districts are commented on at considerable length in
the French Journals. The Courrier Francais has a
long and clever article on the subject, which con-
cludes as follows :
" The working population in England, and the ca-
pital which is to find them employment, are out of
proportion to the demand for their employment. New
markets must be opened for the produce of the indus-
try of England, or she must resign herself to behold-
ing scenes of distress which will be beyond all ima-
gination. The English Government has made two
attempts to gain its object. The first was the expedi-
tion against China, which originated with the Whig
Ministry, with the intent of breaking down, by the
force of cannon-shot, the barriers within which the
Chinese had isolated themselves, initiating them
into our ideas and wants, and creating in that
country a n.:w world of purchasers. The second,
which is the work of the Tories, is the reforma-
tion of the commercial tariff. This is not suf-
ficiently complete and radical to have any imme-
diate influence on the prosperity of the country. They
have not had the effect of opening the English market
to the produce of France, Germany, or the United
States, and consequently have not offered to these
nations any inducement to admit the manufactures of
Leeds, Birmingham, and Manchester. In fine, foreign
corn is excluded from this measure. Sir Robert
Peel, who has proclaimed himself to be the advocate of
freedom of commerce, and has declared that all en-
deavours, by prohibitory laws, to regulate the rate of
wages must be in vain, has attempted, by his Corn-
law, to obtain a direct influence over the rate of
wages, by insuring to the agriculturists a high price
for their corn. At this time the harvest in the United
States exceeds the wants of their own population by
3,000,000 quarters. If the English were at liberty
to purchase this corn, it is clear that the Americans
would take in exchange the iron of Birmingham, the
lihen of Ireland, and the cottons of Manchester, and
consequently the workmen of these places would have
a regular increase of employment. But as the Corn-
laws prevent England from supplying herself with
corn from the United States, the Americans are at
the same time deprived of the power of purchasing,
those manufactures with which England would other-
wise have to supply them. This is the well-gr minded
reproach cast by the adversaries of Sir Robert Peel
upon the Tory Ministry."
The French Chambers were prorogued on Tuesday,
after sitting for a month. The following is a trans-
lation of the Royal Ordonnance to that effect :

"Louis Philippe, to all present and to come,
greeting.
" The Chamber of Peers and the Chamber of De-
puties are prorogued until the 9th of January, 1843.
Our Minister, President of the Council, Minister
Secretary of State at the Department of War, is
charged to be the bearer of the present proclamation
to the Chamber of Peers.—By the King.
" LOUIS PHILIPPE.

" Tuileries, Aug. 30."
" The Committee of Deputies of the vine-growing
department, at a meeting held with the principal
Members of the Cabinet, have received an assurance
that, during the next session of the Chambers, mea-
sures favourable to the interests of those whom they
represented would be brought forward. It appears
certain (says the Moniteur Parisien) that the recess
will be employed in preparing treaties of commerce
with several of the Northern States of Europe, and
with South America. In the mean time the Com-
mittee is engaged in collecting all the documents ne-
cessary for justifying the claims that it is commis-
sioned to urge.
" Tne official part of the Moniteur of the 30th an-
nounces that the King has received the Pope's answer
to the notification of the death of the Prince Royal.
" The Duke of Nemours is to return from his tour
at the beginning of September. M. Dumont, en-
gineer, has been directed by the Minister of Public
Works to visit the north of Italy, in order to examine
the mode employed in that country of embanking the
great rivers, and to give information to the depart-
ment of public works on the application that may be
made of this mode in the Valley of the Rhone.
" The Councils-General will be invited to state their
views on the measures necessary to protect several
parts of our territory from the action of the rivers.
"In a circular addressed to the Prefect, the Mi-
nister of Public Works points out the principal ques-
tions on which the opinion of the Council- General is
required.— Commerce.
