PARIS, OCTOBER 24.

" I confess I was one of those who had sanguine hopes
that the proposed law for abolishing the punishment of death
patronized, as it was, by the Xing and Lafayette—would
have experienced a warm support by the populace of Paris,
who are ever sensible to any thing which can be construed
as adding to the beau ideal of their national glory. And I
still think it would have been so, had it not been for the
united exertions of two factions equally sincere to the peace
of Franco—the absolutists and the republicans. To the
first, the bigotted partisans of the late Government, it is now
believed, that the mobs are principally to be attributed. To
them it is gall and wormwood to see the present Government
quietly settling down into order and tranquility."
They are conscious, that France only requires this domes-
tic pence to become prosperous, and rather than she should
enjoy prosperity under the present dynasty, they would pre-
fer to see her torn by civil discord, and even that a volcano
should destroy her entirely. The apostolic party are capable
of any excesses, even against their friends, for the purpose
of bringing about their grand design ; namely, to have a
bigotted Monarch upon the throne of France, who would
restore the Gallican Church to its former power and splen-
dour. It is scarcely to be believed, that even they are call-
ing out for the punishment of Polignac and Peyronnet.
" Call you this backing your friends ?" But the fact is proved.
Two of the most active of agitators were arrested haranguing a
crowd in the most violent manner on Sunday evening. They
are identified, to be police spies formerly employed by Delavaud
and Mangin, both of whom belonged to the congregation.
Th,:s.re can be no doubt, but many a7c pursuing this course
from a sentiment of justice to their departed friends ; but
these men are associated by the counsels of the insidious
ene.nies of Government. The Prefect of Police has issued
a proclamation, calling on the citizens for good order and
obedience to the laws. Ho assures them that impartial
justice shall be done to those, on whose trial all the world
is now gazing, and reminds them that commercial pros- 1
perky can never be restored, while those tumultuous as-
semblages continue. He intreata them not to tarnish
that fame, which they have so justly acquired, and concludes
by saying, that the law is strong enough to protect the
innocent and punish the guilty. The unhappy men who are
the cause of this effervescence, are not yet removed
from Vincennes. Crowds assemble every evening in the gar-
dens of the Luxembourg, as daily reports are spread that
they are about to be brought to their new prison. Each Le-
gion of the National Guard furnishes daily 200 men, making
an aggregate of 2,400, with a company of artillery. Mea-
sures have been taken, that iu case of any popular commo-
tion, 70,000 men could be brought upon the Luxembourg
in a quarter of an hour, leaving an equal number to guard
the city. When the sentence is pronounced, it will be car-
ried into execution in 24 hours. That truly great and good
man, Lafayette, is strongly inclined to the merciful side of
the question, and his influence on the populace almost un-
bounded. He risks his popularity upon this question ,so
much so, that I observed, two days since, on passing by the
Hotel des Invalides, the bust of Lafayette, which took the
place of the gilt fleur-de-lis, on the pedestal opposite
the Hotel, was much mutilated. This has no doubt
been done by some of the hired mob. It is proposed to con-
suit the Courts of Caseation, and Royale. previous to the
abolition so much spoken of. In the meantime, the many
delays which are likely to arise, on points of form, and in
the Chamber of Peers, are all in favour of the unfortunate
Ministers. The feelings of revenge which now rankle in
the bosom of a father, or of a brother, time will soften down,
and the poignant grief of the friend and relative, will, by the
same soothing influence, be mellowed into a calm regret.—
The nation has acted nobly with regard to the compensations
made for losses sustained during the conflict. It gives an
annual pension to widows and orphans, the latter it under-
takes to educate and provide for. The Editor of the
Patriot, mentioned in a former letter, has been sen-
tenced, for publishing his paper without the legal autho•
rization, to six months imprisonment, and a fine of
of 1,200 francs, and the printer to incarceration for one
month and 200 franca fine. Many commercial houses have
stopped payment here, and others are talked of ; indeed
commerce is in a very depressed state throughout France. It
it is to be hoped that the Governmentl,by acting with a con-
tinuance of the firmness and decision which they have shewn
for the last few days, will restore confidence in the commer-
cial world. Paris has been perfectly free from tumult or
disturbance of any kind since the address made by the King
to the National Guards ; and although a strong body both of
them and the line fill the Court of the Palais Royal every
night, I an► perfectly assured that no possible interruption
to the public tranquillity is anticipated.

OPINIONS ON THE CHANGE IN THE FRENCH
MINISTRY.

A change of Ministers is still expected; and opinion seems
to consider that act of the royal authority as necessary and
safe. The names of the new Ministers are not positively
known. Let us hope that the Moniteur will not delay to put
an end to the uncertainty of the public.--Renolutioa.

At this very moment, we understand, that a change of
Ministers is on the point of being realised. M. Casimir
Perrier would be Presideut of the Council. We must wait
to hear exactly all the other names, to judge of this com-
bination, which, we repeat it, will be without effect if a
complete change of system is not the consequence. The
Funds have experienced a rise in the only hope of a change.
—Revolution.

To prevent succeeding overthrows, reform must be seri-
ously entered into : then the revolution will begin to bear
its fruits. One may judge, by what has taken place these
last days, what profit men in power reap from inaction. The
strength gained by inaction is good to the people, who have
always plenty of time ; but it is mortal for those who govern.
There must then be other elements for a new Ministry. The
extreme left only can supply them. But it must be done
quickly, to prevent a crisis : all hesitation would be a fault, an
immense danger. It must not be said that it is necessary to wait
till the chamber is completed to make sure of a ministry so
composed, would sympathise with it. It is the least that
can be done—a last produce of the revolution. The cham-
ber would not create, with impunity, embarrassments to a
revolution, brought an without it and against it. The best
thing to be done, is to support it provisionally. Its hostility
respecting a more candid and open system, would complete
its overthrow, and bring about as a necessity what ought to
have been expected u a right, the convocation of a national
assembly. This grand and desirable measere would then
give to government the strength which it wants, and to the
people the confidence which it has not.
After the Revolution, says ail these things, another pa-
per asks, and says, " Shall Is e or shall we not have a change
of ministry ? Contradictory rumours are spread. At one
time there is a talk of a modification, at another a complete
remodel : one day the doctrinal party have the advantage ;
at another they are said to abandon their place. Of all ver-
sions which circulate, the following appears to take the most
consistence :—Three of the present Ministers, M. M.
Mole, Lafitte, and Sebastiani, would be the only ones re-
maining in office, and would take charge of the composi-
tion of a new Cabinet.

We would bo then released from the doctrinarys; but
what signifies a cabinet formed under the triple influence of
M.M. Mole, Lafitte, and Sebastiani ?
To us each of these men represents an idea :
M. Mole, foreign politics, according to the holy alliance.
M. Lafitte, the financial system of the restoration.
M. Sebastiani, the old and new aristocracy, with its pri-
vileges.
Those three ideas are in opposition with the revolution
of July, which want a frank and energetic diplomatic in-
tercourse ; finances without stock-jobbing, and equality
between citizens.

The Cabinet personified by the three Ministers above-
mentioned, would he a finish to the spoiled work of our revo-
lution, so perverted already by the doctrinaries.
The Cabinet directed by them would bo as fatal to the
country as the one now existing.
M. Lafitte would take care not to touch our monstrous
sinking fund : he would not put any opposition to the stock-
jobbing system, which accumulates at the exchange the gold
and credit of which our industrious undertakings have such
urgent wants.
M. Sebastiani would vote for the inheritance of the
peerage, for fear his character might suffer. He would de-
fend by instinct the privilege under all its forms, and would
perpetuate the overbearing disdainfulness of aristocracy. '
M. Mole would walk in the path of the Metterniclia. and
Wellingtons, he would not have enough submissive phrases
to ask of the remains of the Holy Alliance pardon for the
great' liberty taken by the French people in cverth:•ewing a
King.
This Ministry might displace some men, but with such
elements, is struck with imfotency to touch such things.
And, nevertheless, that is its work. .

A revolution cannot be useless : when a whole nation
rises, it is not for the great advantage of such and such an
one, it is for its own proper account. All the cries, all
words of rallying do nothing to it ; at the bottom of
this lies the improvement which its destiny claims. If it
does not obtain it be begins again, and attacks of tl:e
new as well as the eld Ministers.

We have placed a letter, from our Correspondent on the
Commerce of France in our First Page, because it is not of
such present interest as the other matter we have received
from him to-day. but we recommend it to attention.
CuoLct•.A Moasus.—Some accounts, but extremely de-
ficient in detail, have already appeared, of the rapid and
fatal progress which the cholera morbus is making in the
southern provinces of Russia. The subject is deemed of
sufficient importance to justify iunnediute precautions
against the introduction of the disorder into this country ;
and with that view a communication has been addressed to
the Collector and Comptroller of the Customs, at the differ-
ent sea-ports, from J. BULLER, Clerk of Council, dated
Whitehall, October 5, transmitting a despatch from
his Majesty's Ambassador at Saint Peterbburgli,
stating the rapid progress of cholera morbue
in Russia It recommends the adoption of precautionary'
measures to the Commissioner of Customs at the sea-ports to
prevent its reaching this country. The letter concludes by say-
ing, their Lordships consider it of great importance to public
health, that the utmost care and vigilance should be
used in regard to vessels arriving from places where com-
munication may be at all probable with districts affected
with the above disease, I am directed to desire that von
will move the Commissioners of Customs to call the attention

of quarantine officers to the subject, in order that they may
be careful to enforce the standing orders ; and if any case of
doubt or difficulty should occur, they may apply without loss
of time for farther instructions.'
We have received accounts from Lima, which state that a
Decree of Gen. Augustin Gamarra, President of the Re-
public of Peru, after setting forth the determination of the
Government to protect agricultural products, prohibits the
introduction of all foreign liquors into the Republic after
the sth of Sept. 1830. National and merchant vessels
are to abandon the use of foreign liquors in three months
after that date, and any person who shall land or vend
such liquor, besides suffering the confiscation of the article,
shall be punished. A Decree of the Government, dated
Lima, directs that all citizens from the ages of 15 to 50
years, shall enlist themselves under proper officers in order
to form bodies of militia, both cavalry and infantry.
We have accounts this morning from the whale fishery,
giving, in some shape, the causes of the recent failare. It
appears a fifth part of the vessels in this trade have been an-
nihilated; but the loss of human life has been trifling, being
confined to six or eight individuals. The season, in fact,
has been one of the most embarassing ever known, from the
accumulated muses of ice by which the navigator was im-
peded, the continued haziness of the weather, and the fre-
quent gales of wind. The ships arrived at the proper sea-
son in Melville Bay, where, by a strong gals from the South,
they were blocked in, and compelled to remain 12 weeks.
From this period nothing but disaster took place, which
ended in the loss of 18 vessels.

CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK.

We have no accounts of any importance. but the Dut..!.
and Ostend steamers are expected in a few hours. We 4%,
'seen letters this morning from Ireland, which state that tilt
business at Lloyd's Hill has been exaggerated. Letters frotu
Antwerp are of opinion that the town will be kept fur the
King of Holland.
Consols, which left off yesterday 841 i for the Accooet,
opened at the same price ; since which, the Market ha
proved to 84), owing to the great scarcity of Money Stock
In the Foreign Market, Spanish stock has improved to 22.

LIVERPOOL, OCT. 2.5.—We have had a fair demand for
the better kinds of British plantation sugar, although tit,
prices may be quoted rather lower : the sales are about 85.)
In East India sugar, nothing doing. Cottons having
continued so very flat, some holders have given way abou
htli of a penny per lb. in the price, which may be considered
a general decline. The sales of this week consist of abo.
2,000 bags. The demand for Pine timber is only moderate

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

Consols have been doing at, in the course of th
, morning, 841 for the account. Stock has been borrowed
,at a premium of 3 per cent. per annum for January, be
within a short period console have receded to 84kg.
In the Foreign Market, Spanish stock has been done at
22i. Danish and Russian have also improved. In other
foreign securities little doing.
We have a general report that Corunna has declared ie
favour of the coustitutionaliste, and that two regiments have
gone over to Minrt; but this is mere report at present

ANTWERP, OCT. 22.—AlthoughI have but little to com-
municate, the receipt of another letter will inform you tl.at
the communication of this city is still free; and that we are
not yet governed by martial law. It is to be hoped that,
if the zeal displayed by the good part of the citizens
and tile foreign merchants continue to maintain good order,
we may bo spared the inconvenience of remaining in a he-
sieged town. The separation of the Dutch and Belgian troops
has not yet taken place, and which causes some excitement ;
but, from the general appearance of things, and amongst them
the arrival of General Van Geen—who I informed you is
to effect the separation—and the removal of meet of the
Dutch, with their families and furniture, indicate the.
their further stay will be but limited. With the ceceptiee
of General Van Geen, who arrived here on Wednesday as
five r.u. and who dined with the Prince of Orange, thee
has been no arrival. The Prince goes much about, ant
remains very popular. I saw hint yesterday, on hie reta:u
from his ride, looking very well, and attended only be an
Aide-dc-camp and one groom. You doubtless have liearti
of the surrender of the citadel of Ghent ; the ;.:teri
chiefly Dutch, with four pieces of cannon, arrived hero yes-
terday, and took the road to Holland immedit.tely. Indeee
the military abound here ; but the total cessation of busints,
and the diversity of opinion which prevails as to the probable
result of the calamity which has visited Boigium, deprives the
scene of the gaiety which in more peaceable times their pre-
sence inspires. lam ablo to confirm my assertion, that the
National Congress will not meet until November the Bth.
The advanced posts of the military are now at Wantons, a
small village about a league and a half distant from the
citadel; and on Wednesday and yesterday there was some
smart skirmishing between the troops and some armed men
from Brussels. The Brussels paper aaeerts that their pa:ty
had the best of it, and admit that they had 30 men killed,
and a groat many wounded ; but it is very generally believed
here beat they suffered more than the King's troops. ('er
tain it is that the former made no advance on their route to
Antwerp. The commandant has taken up his residence within
the citadel, and awaits the King's orderbefore surrendering it.
Sending my letter via Rotterdam, obliges me to close it
before noon ; and there can be but little doubt that, should
the mail-bag leave here on Tuesday next, I shall have to
announce that the Belgians have the undisturbed posses-
sion of the city. I would fain hope the surrender may
not be attended by those scenes of outrage anti pillage
which, unhappily, have been too frequent a consequence
since the commencement of the struggle. The list of the
inhabitants who are qualified to elect the Deputies has just
been published. 1 cannot, with any certainty, inform you
to-day when the election will take place. —Herald .
Mu. ST. JOHN LONO.—The bill which was returned
against this gentleman yesterday, contains six counts, each
terminating in charging a felonious killing and slaying of
Miss Cashin, but varying from each other by the omission
or modification of some one or other of the particular aver-
ments from which the Jury deduce this conclusion. The
Ist count charges that be, with a certain inflammatory and
dangerous liquid, secretly prepared and mixed by himself, did
feloniously rub, wash, and sponge the back of Miss Cashin,
or did cause and procure the same to be rubbed, washed, and
sponged, he well knowing the said liquid to be inflammatory
and dangerous ; and that by such rubbing, he did cause, give,
and reocure to be given, one mei :al inflammation and wound
upon the back, of the length of tight inches, of the width of
four inches, and of the depth of two inches; and that by
means of such rubbing, tic. he did feloniously cause anti
trocure her to become mortally sick and diseased, and that
of such sickness and wound she languished tient the 3d cf
August till the 17th, and that on the latter tlav she did die.
—The count concludes by the Jurors averring, upon tlei-
oath, that the said St. John Long did the said Cathariat
Cashin, in manner and form aforesaid, feloniously kili
and slay.

BOROCGII v.—Tcebday last being :he day ap
pointed by the charter, the corporate body of Liskeard as-
,sembled to elect a Mayor for the ensuing year. The Er.:l
of St. Gennains, as Recorder, was prescut. Thomas Ro-
bins, Esq. was chosen Mayor, but before Mr. Sargent, the
mayor for the year just ended, surrendered office, by adminis-
tering the usual oaths to his successor, he addressed the noble
Recorder and the bench of aldermen, stating it to be his in-
tention to admit his son to the freedom of the borough, and
hoped there would be no objection. No answer was made to
this announcement by the Aldermen, though the showed
that they were taken by surprise by the intimation of the
mayor. His worship without hesitation directed the Town
Clerk to administer the usual oath to the candidate for civic
honours; that officer refused to do so unless he received
directions from the noble recorder. The mayor immediately
administered the oath himself, and at once swore the new
freeman as foreman of the borough grand jury. After the
usual charge from the mayor, the jury retired, but on the
foremay presenting uimsel at the jury-room, he was ordered
to withdraw. This, however, he refused to do, and we be-
have made good his claim to he honour he had just retired
at his father's hands. In the absence of the jury, the noble
recorder attempted to address, the aldermen, but 'be was
prevented by the Mayor, who desired his Lordship to sit
down, which he did. The mayor elect and one or two of the
aldermen addressed the Court, and protested against the
tumid peoceedings of the mayor, which they said was illegal.
being in contravention of one of the by-laws ; the gentlemen
also declared they were resolved to abide by and support the
good old system to the last. In the end, the mayor elect was
sworn into office, and the illegality of the late mayor's con-
duct remains to be decided by a higher tribunal.— West

THE KING'S COURT.

BRIGHTON, Ocr. 26.

Ile departure of their MAJESTIES has made a blank
which it would be difficult to describe. The people, who
v..cre accustomed to behold their KING and QUEEN passing
Amongst them in the most unostentatious manner, were
,onstantly on the anxious look-out to see them : to-day the
?ieighbourhood of the Palace was quite deserted.
Their Majesties' return being fixed for the 22d of Nov.
;.heir arrival will be hailed with the most lively demonstra-
tions of delight by the community.
'flit! Princess Augusta, accompanied by Miss Wynyard,
drove out for an airing to-day. Several of the household,
r7ho romained behind to make arrangements, took their de-
:, attere for town.
