FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.

RECEIVED Tills DAT.
PARIS, OCT. 9, 1830.
Sin,—Two events of great importance now occupy the
public mind. One is the approaching election of Members
to fill the vacancies in the Chamber of Deputies, and the
other the solemn trial of the state delinquents, who COM-
!flitted an outrage on the people equally reckless and heart-
less. The general voice is far from being satisfied with the
present constitution of the Chamber. The people say, and
with great justice, that its Members were elected, under a
different order of things altogether, and have not the vigour
and energy requisite to carry into effect the many reforms
and changes, for which they had fought and conquered. In
addition to this, eighty-nine who had been returned by the in-
trigues of the former Government,had resigned,and some have
in their letters of resignation assumed a tone of insolence, and
prophecy, as to the fragility of the present state of affairs; con-
sequently their departments and towns were totally unrepre-
sented. The remaining deficiency of about thirty, arises from
their appointment to offices in the State, and by the modified
Charter, they arc compelled to return to their constituents,
an idea evidently borrowed from your Parliamentary usages.
These last mentioned will nearly all be again returned, being
popular favourites, who have hitherto been silent by the ac-
ceptance of office ; and being men of talent and activity, will
give additional strength to the mental ascendancy of the
House. In the place of the eighty-nine resigned Royalists,
there can be but little doubt in the present excitement of the
Departments, but they will be replaced by men of courage
and talent, ultra liberals, if not republicans. From these
circumstances it will be seen, that in three weeks, the talents
—the energy of the Chamber—will receive a most important
addition, an amalgamation of the best possible matter ; and
as the honesty and principles of the present Deputies are
beyond suspicion, and only their timidity blamed, this
healthy current, injected into the somewhat languid sys-
tem of the body in question, may prove of the must
invigorating nature, and produce an healthy, and power-
ful effect. It is sincerely wished by every moderate
and reflecting politician, that this view may be realized, and
that it may restore that confidence to the representative body,
which at present they do not enjoy. Should it not have this
happy effect, a new Chamber must be called, with a very
great increase of the elective franchise, and allowing much
younger men both to sit and to vote than at present. A
query then arises, whether an accession of the vigor of youth,
would be compensated for, by the absence of the wisdom of
age ? and whether such an assembly, hot from the schools,
wrapped in visionary ideas of Grecian and Roman republics,
might not declare their sittings permanent, and convert
themselves into a national convention ? The warmth of po-
litical feeling has not yet had time to subside, and as a well-
wisher of France, 1 think that a general election would
be a serious evil for some time to come. Let the people
see how the new system works at present ; let them see
confidence restored, and commerce flourishing ; and they
will find that they have a rational degree of freedom, and
every day adding something to the amelioration of society.
France, strong in herself, will see a golden age arising in
her bosom, as far as human nature will allow such a blissful
vision to be realized. The new members will be a fourth of
the whole assembly ; and, having seen what is supposed to
be deficient by their constituents in the present members,
will bring to their task, not merely the vigour of fresh men,
but the experience, which their position as spectators has
allowed them to acquire.'
It will, probably, be the last week in the present month,
in which the four inculpated ministers will be brought to
trial. The preparations are not yet finished for their
reception at the Luxembourg. Every precaution has
been taken, not only for their safe custody within,
but, what in the present state of public feeling is
equally necessary, their protection from violence from
without. Those who are not acquainted with Paris, can
form but a very faint idea indeed of the desperation and
the recklessness of a popular insurrection here. In addition
to this, may be added an exhaustless fertility of expedient, a
convertibility of every substance into the means of offence
and defence, and the docility with which they obey the or-
ders given by their self-elected leaders. The populace of
any other capital in Europe would not have submitted to the
controul and dictation of mere boys, as was evinced here
during the great week, by the commands not only given by
the Polytechnic Scholars, but by those of the Schools of
Law and Medicine. It would astonish the world at large
could they have seen the extreme youth of the most active
combatants. Boys of 10 and 12 crouching and crawling
ander the bellies of the horses, armed with a pistol, was a very
common sight. Their precocity demonstrated that a French-
man is born with an appetite for military life. I much fear
that should say sentence short of death be passed upon the
two Ministers who are the most violently bated, namely,
Polignac and Peyronnet, that a dreadful popular commotion
may arise, and that a similar scene, so admirably painted
in " The Heart of Mid-Lothian," will be reacted in Paris ;
happy indeed if it terminate with nothing more serious than
the execution of the criminals. The Government evidently
foresee this, and are making every preparation to resist
violence from popular effervescence, even so far, that
a park of artillery is to be quartered in the gardens of
the Luxembourg ; and its beautiful grass plots, on which

' thousan.i, (.f chi'drrn a-( t!Jity ei.o:ting, ,till shortly be
destroyed Ly :;.e lux,* of cannon and caissons. I
am myself acquainted with several citizens of respectability
who have told me,that they are solemnly pledged to avenge
the death of their slaughtered friends. Some in the first
moments of grief and indignation have made those vows,
which their better feelings would not lead them to retract;
but when pledged to each other by that honour, which in a
Frenchman supersedes religion, his character is at stake;
and however reluctantly, he feels that his compact must be
ratified. On the other hand, there opens a bright prospect
fir the Ministers. A very strong feeling prevails in Franco at,
this moment against the punishment of death, in any shape
for any crime. An admirable report, recommending itsl
abolition, has been presented by M. de Tracy to the Chamber,
and which I will transmit to the STAR. There can be no
doubt but this has been brought forward at an earlier
period than it otherwise would have been, in order to avert
the probable fate of the State criminals now in custody.
The King most warmly enters into these sentiments ; and
although I am sorry to remark that 'religions feeling is at a
very low ebb in this metropolis, its most sublime precept—
that to forgive our enemies—appears daily in the petitions,
which are sent into the Chamber, even from those on
whom the stroke of tyranny has fallen with the greatest
weight. The Society, Les Amis de la Verite, whose
procession to the spot which which witnessed tho martyr-
dom of their companions, about which so much needless
alarm was excited in Paris and in London, signed,
before they separated, on that melancholy occasion, a
petition requesting the remission of privation of existence
in any case, and on Friday a deputation of forty maimed
and wounded men in the late events, from the convalescent
Hospital of St. Cloud, presented a memorial to the same
effect, whilst yet smarting under the wounds they had lately
received, and while the tortures they had undergone were
yet fresh in their memory. These, with many others, have
emanated from a desire to spare France from the infliction
of capital punishment.
The Law of Sacrilege was abolished on Friday, to the
great joy of future jurors, and public prosecutors. This
law, which decreed death for any robbery, however trifling,
committed in a church, was a source of great vexation, and
actual perjury. It placed the jurors in the same painful
situation that your former criminal laws did as to the value
of property stolen. How often have twelve men in England
declared, upon their oath, that a valuable gold watch
was worth thirty-nine shillings only ? In France, the
churches are open the whole day; consequently petty thefts
occasionally take place. If it happened in a vestry, the jury
found it was a theft in a dwelling house ; if in the porch,
that it was a street robbery ; but if clearly proved to have
happened at the altar, they found it to be sudden insanity.
To these miserable quibbles wore conscientious men reduced,
and placed in the dilemma to falsify an oath, or sacrifice the
life of a fellow creature. Under these circumstances, a coun-
tryman of yours escaped about four months since. The clear-
est evidence proved that he had stolen a crucifix, which he
supposed to be silver, but which was only plated, from
the High Altar of the church of St. Eustache.—
It was found upon him. Ho pleaded poverty, and
a sudden access of insanity. The good-natured
IJury acquitted, and made a collection for him. From
la similar severity in the penal code, coiners are certain of
escape. I expect that the law relative to thorn will next un-
dergo a revision. From the wretched state of tho copper
currency, and the adulterated species called Billon, it is a
crime of frequent occurrence.
A discussion has lately taken place on the corn laws, and
a moat lamentable deficiency of talent in political economy
was displayed. This science has not made much pro-
gress in France. A modification of the duties upon wine
is in progress. Wine is not here, as in England, a luxury
confined to the middle and upper classes of society ; but is
by habit become as much a necessary as beer is to your men,
and tea to your women. The wine growers have for years
past been in a most deplorable situation, the produce greatly
exceeding the consumption ; and the evil is, that the soil in
which the vine luxuriates is fit for no other species of culti-
vation. There are millions of acres in France, which, if
not in vineyard, would be waste. In vain, the owners press
upon the Legislature the necessity of entering into commer-
cial treaties with England and other countries, that by a
relaxation of duties, the French wines may come into
more general use. Tho commercial policy of France is not
sufficiently advanced to see the benefits of this reciprocity.
She is striving to become a manufacturing country, and con-
sequently imposes protecting duties. Her want of coal, and
iron, will always keep her fifty years behind you, although
of late they have copied your improvements in machinery
with great success. But in any case I much doubt if the
light wines of France can be exported to a much greater
extent than they are. They have not sufficient body
for the lower classes either of England, Germany,
or the northern parts of Europe, whose rigorous skies
and hardier habits require more strength. In the mean time
a great alteration will take place in the collection of the
duties of the Octroi, at the entrance into cities as at present
the ►in Ordistaire, and Champaigne pay the same rate of
entrance duty.
I have just learnt with great satisfaction, that the
debate for the abolition of the punishment of death
has occupied the Chamber the whole morning, that
it was resumed on Friday evening, when at half-past
eleven at night, a majority of 204 out of 246,
voted an address to the King, recommending this import-
ant measure to be immediately adopted. The deputation
ihas been with the King, who has returned for answer that
he is favourable to still further amelioration of the laws than
the deputation calls for. Thus has France taken the lead,
in the amelioration of the human race, and shown that mercy
is ever the accompaniment of valour. The important de-
bate you will see in the French papers, and I can
have no doubt but the Bth of October will hencefor-
ward be memorable among the philanthropists of the
two hemispheres. Commercial men will also have
reason to remember the sitting of that date, as the
sum of 30 millions was voted, as loans for the support
of the manufacturing interests. It is gratifying to an Eng-
lishman to find that they refer in the Chamber to the pre-
cedents afforded by your Governmtint. In this debate, the
loans made by Mr. Pitt and Lord Castlereagh to the mer-
chants of London, and their repayment, were quoted as cases
in point. You shall in a few days hear again from

OCT. 9.—Yesterday the King transacted business with
the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Minister of the Inte-
rior, and the Minister of War. General Lafayette had the
honour of an audience, and the Minister of the Hanse Towns
was received, and had the honour of delivering his creden-
tials.

The situation of the Western Departments no longer
causes any uneasinem. The nobility in that part of the
country had endeavoured to excite disturbances; but the
attitude and opinions of the inhabitants, the activity and
good conduct of the National Guards, and the vigilant sur-
veillance of the Prefect of the Lower Loire, compelled them
to give up the schemes of exciting an insurrection.
Rome and Naples have both acknowledged Louis-
Philip as King of the French, and have transmitted to their
respective ambassadors new letters of credence. M. de
Montesquieu, who was sent with letters of notification to

No notification of this has yet appeared in the Moniteur.
The acknowledgment of the new French Governno,nt
by Prussia was notified in the moat positive and frank wan-
ner. Prussia not only proclaims its concurrence in the
principle of non-intervention in the affairs of France, bat
she gives, at the same time, the assurance that she will not
interfere in the affairs of Belgium. Thus, the reports which
had been circulated relative to the hostile intentions id
Prussia are without foundation.—La National.

The Constitutional Regency of Portugal, established
the Island of Terceira, in the name of Queen Donn% ?stark,
has resolved to acknowledge Louis Philip I. as King of t):
French. It is said, that M. d'Almeida is every moment ex-
pecting letters of credence, to present himself at Court, I.:
order to be recognized as Minister from the Regency

We learn from the frontiers of Spain that 5,000 troop,:
the line, and 3,000 Royalist volunteers, have entered N,_

them in moveable columns, and given the advanced guar
to Jaanito, who is at Bora, with between 3 and 400 ninl.
Reinforcements continue to arrive at Lampurdan.—Gaz t

The 7th being his Majesty's birth-day, the sth legion of t::
National Guards, and the legion of Horse, upon comin,.: t •
relieve the post at the Palais Royal, had all bouquets in ti,.•
barrels of their muskets. His Majesty, accompanied by t!.
Princes, his eons, in the uniform of the National Guard,'
descended into the Court, and passed them in review, the•
Queen and Princesses witnessing the review from the bal-
cony of the Palace. His Majesty, who was received witl.
lively acclamations, addressed the Officers in the most flat-
tering terms. In the evening, the Officers of the National
Guard on duty, and those by whom they were relieved, as
well as two sergeants, two corporals, and two grenadiers of
each company, had the honour to dine with the King at. .I
Royal Family. The serjoants, corporals, and grenadiers,
drew lots for the distinction, in order that no preference
might appear to be shown.

All the Sovereign Princes of Germany are assembling ti..
notables of their country, and are disposed to grant the ame-

singular effect of the three days.—Le Temps.
A deputation from the mercantile houses of St. %untie
have just agreed to petition the King, to afford succour to
Messrs. Vassal and Co., which would be advantageous

The number of sick who have come to Marseilles from
Algiers is from 4 to 5,000, and 2,000 more are expected
Three hundred,who have had limbs amputated, are expected
from Mahon. They are said to be perfectly restored, but
this is not the case with the convalescent, who are leaving
the Marseilles hospital. A letter from Toulon, of the lst
inst. states that the convalescent who had been removed
from Marseilles to that town, excite the greatest commise-
ration by their weak state of health. At Marseilles, from
12 to 18 die every day ; on some days the number of thus:.
who died amounted to 30. A frigate, which was only three
three days in coming over from the coast of Africa, thre%
40 dead into the sea during her passage.—Quotidienne.
A private letter from the Hague says The King of
the Netherlands is in a state of anxiety difficult to descri!...
He regrets deeply that things have been pushed so far.—
Among the rumours afloat is ono of disturbances havi.l,
broken out in many of the towns of Holland, the inhabitants
of which refuse to pay the indirect taxes."

Extract of a price. te letter from Amsterdam A p;-( ert
is openly entertained in this City of converting Holland int:,
a Batavian republic, as soon as Belgium shall be declared in
dependent. This project, which many Dutch families hart
for a long time desired to see realized, would reduce the King
of the Netherlands to the simple rank of Stadtholder, the
only title that the Princes of his family held previous to the
year 1814."

The Neapolitan Government has lately sent a body of
troops into the Abbruzzes and the defile of Androdow. It is
concluded from hence, that fears are entertained lest the
'Austrians, who are expected, should be attacked on their
passage. Great fermentation prevails at Montelone and
Potenza. In the Capitanate it was found necessary to fire
upon the people. Although this commotion was not of a
political nature, several cries in favour of the constitution
I were heard. At Naples, the Swiss are exercised in military
evolutions; all the posts, which were guarded by the Neapo-
litan Royal Guards, are now confided to the Swiss ; the en-
virons of Naples are likewise well guarded. It is evident
tbat a popular commotion is feared ; every thing, however,
would soon be settled, if a constitution were granted. It is
said that two Generals, and an ancient Minister, supplicated
the King to open his eyes, and that his Majesty had nearly
consented ; but the Confessor of the Queen interfered, an.;
has deranged every thing.— Constitutionnel.
Letters have been received from the west coat of Sumatr.i,
conveying the melancholy information that the Achinese had
landed suddenly at Tapanooli, and murdered all the Dutch
residents—said to be about 50 ; but retired again, without
molesting the individuals of any other country, nor
committing any robbery or other violence. Tile animosity
to the Dutch at Tapanooli arose, it is said, from the inter-
diction, by their Government, of intercourse between the
Achinese and Pulp Nyas.

BRIGHTON GARRISON RACES.

MONDAY, OCT. 11.

These races, agreeable to expectation, took place this day, and from
the first day's races being so excellent, and the morning being so un-
usually fine, much interest was excithed. The course exhibited a splendid
chew of carriages, and we calculate that nearly 10,000 persons were
present, amongst whom we noticed many of the nobility now resident
with us. Shortly after 3 o'clock, their Most Gracious Majesties, as
by her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta, and suite, in
two opera carriages, honoured the coarse with their presence to witness
the sport, and remained until nearly five o'clock, much delighted.
Her Aajesty appeared in excellent health. The Race-stand was open
to the friends of the Officers interested in the sport, and a splendid
dejeun6 provided; upon the whole, the scene looked peculiarly gay and
interesting, although at the close, the air reminded us of its teeing
Oe.ober.

HAAIBURG PAPERS.

Bauxawrcir, SEPT. VI.
Yesterday morning a deputy from the Duke arrived here, who came
from London with a message to Duke William. It was soon made
known that the former had transferred to the latter the government of
the country for an unlimited time.
The Estates have drawn up a very long address to Duke William, in
which they paint in strong colours the melancholy state to which the
country was reduced by the arbitrary measures of the Duke.—This ad.
dress of the Estates was published here yesterday evening at six o'clock.
An immense multitude was immediately assembled, to whom it was read
aloud by lamplight, and received with acclamations of joy.
Bauxawtcr, SEPT. 30—The following answer of Duke William
to the Address was published the day before yesterday :
" I thank the Estates of the Duchy of Brunswick and the Principality
of Blakenburg, for the assurance they have given me of their attachment
and confidence.

" It is agreeable to me to find, in the address presented to me on the
27th, a new proof of the exalted patriotism, as well as oldie zealous and
prudent endeavours of the Estates to maintain the constitution of the
country, and to insure its permanent prosperity. The more painfully I
am affected by the picture given in this address of the present state of
the country, the more securely may the Estates rely on my sincere and
entire concurrence in all constitutional measures, the object of which is
to restore and consolidate the welfare of the country.
" It gives me particular satisfaction to be able to inform the estates,
in answer to the proposal made to me, that i have been induced to as-
sume, for the present, the government of the country. I may expect
that In this manner the continuance of tranquillity so happily restored
will be secured, and the most urgent wants of the moment provided
for. Meantime I shall exert myself to the utmost by a negociation, to
be immediately commenced by his Highness my brother, to attain the
object intimated by the Estates. If, contrary to my expectation, my
efforts should not prove successful, 1 should not, indeed, be able to
resolve to take myself the steps to which the Estates allude, but shall
not object to their making a proper application to his Majesty the King
of Great Britain and Hanover, and I do not doubt that the desired end
will be attained by the moderation of that generous and enlightened
Monarch. I have now only to express my wish that the Estates
may use their influence to revive and consolidate the confidence of,
the subjects in the Government, without which a country cannot
prosper.

Hasitsuao, Oct. s.—Boaszx Foust o'CLocit.—The af-
fairs of Holland have kept our Exchange in a fever for some days past.
Public securities have fallen considerably ; yesterday in particular many
stockholders came forward to sell. To-day, owing to purchases made
by several of our bears to cover their engagements for the 15th, prices
are a shade higher.

In Berlin limes have been very low.

DUTCHAPERS.

THE HAGUE, OCT. 7.
We learn that the three new Ministers have accepted their appoint-
ments. This event has given great satisfaction, and caused a rise in
the Funds on the Exchange at Amsterdam, which have lately been
much depressed. It is not doubted that the King's Proclamation, cal-
ling on the inhabitants of the Northern Provinces to arm, will have a
similar or still greater effect. Here, at least, it has excited great seal,
and, since the publication of the Proclamation, one hundred and fifty
volunteers have offered to march with the militia, and many others have
offered to serve here in the town at their own expense. In the course of
the week all the moveable militia will go to the fortresses. Some of the
officers are already on actual service, and went yesterday to Utrecht,
with some hundred militia.

The naval division before Antwerp, consisting of the Eurydice, of 36
guns, and the Porcupine, of 28 guns, is reinforced by the Comet, of 28
guns.
His Majesty has issued a Proclamation to the following effect
" Desiring, as far as lies in our power, to provide that the difficulties
of the present state of things may not be increased by a high price of
provisions; and considering that a reduction of the import duties on
corn appears to be calculated to contribute to this object, the duties on
wheat, rye, oats, barley, and spelt, fixed by the law of 10th January,
1825, are reduced to the rates fixed by the law of 26th August, 1822.
AMSTERDAM, OCT. 8.
Some foreign officers lately arrived here, who, as has since transpired,
are some of the exiled Constitutional Spaniards. We learn they came
by sea from Lisbon, where they had been long kept in prison by Don
Miguel, and intended to go by way of Brussels to France. In the state
of affairs they have been dissuaded from this journey, and provision has
been made far their lodging and support.

VIENNA, SEPT. 28.--Count Appony, our Ambassador at Paris, is
to be recalled, and to have a high office in the Imperial Household. It
is said that he will be succeeded at Paris by Count Fiquelmont, who is
at present on an extraordinary mission at St. Petersburgb. Marshal
3lortier is to be the new French Ambassador to Petersburgh, and Mar-
shal Maison to Vienna. The report of a Congress to be held at Trop.
pau gains ground.
The whole Imperial Family, except the Archduke Francis Charles
and his consort, is now at Presburgh, to which city a great part of the
most distinguished inhabitants of this capital are gone, to be present at
the coronation of the Crown Prince as King of Hungary. The mag-
nificence displayed on this occasion, both by our Court and the Hun-
garian Magnates, is said to exceed every thing before seen : 22,000
pieces of silver, and 6,000 of 'gold coin, have been made expressly to
scatter among the people. The young King of Hungary is to make his
solemn entry into this city on Monday next.
Viz/lan, SEPT. 30.—The report of a Congress to be held at Troppau
gains more credit, and to-day it is even said that his Majesty the Em-
peror will set out from St. Petersburgh for that place on Saturday next.
A courier was suddenly despatched to-day to Turin.
FROM BRANDENBURG/I, OCT. 4.—The unfavourable accounts
of the progress of the insurgents in Belgium excite the greatest atten.
tion, and it is more than ever believed that the European Powers
will interfere. A partial intervention of a single Power is, how.
ever, the less probable in this case, as occasion might thereby be
given to France, to intervene in a contrary spirit. It is said that this
matter was brought under discussion while Count Lobau, the
French Ambassador Extraordinary, was here. It is said to have been
expressly required by the three Allied Powers, as a condition of their
recognising the new dynasty of France, that the latter should not inter.
fere in the affairs of the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal. The French
Government is said to have acceded to this condition, but requires now
that similar assurances of non-intervention AO be assumed as a prin.
ciple. People are more confident than ever that k:nglantl, which is
most interested in preserving the integrity of the kingdom of the Nether-
lands, will speedily take a decisive step.
BRCNSwICK, OCT. 6.—ln the third and last Sitting of the Estates
of Brunswick, Wolfenbattel and Blankenberg, it was resolved to send
Count Von Ober'', of Duttinstedt, with a suitable Address to his Ma.
jesty the King of England.
All patriots ardently hope that Duke William may convoke, as soon
as possible, a General Assembly of the States, which may discuss the
means of removing the great grievances under which the country still
labours. There can be no doubt of the willingness of the Duke of
Brunswick Oels to contribute all in his power, but to attain the object
it is absolutely necessary that tranquillity, order, and security, which
are now happily restored, should be preserved.
HAMBURGH, OCT. B.—The Beurs Van Amsterdam, steamboat,
which has arrived at Lubcc from Cronstadt, has not brought any Rus-
sian letters or journals.
VIENNA, OCT. I.—The Coronation at Presburgh took place on
the 28th.

HAMBUROII, OCT. B.—Boaszx Hamm, BALT-PAST 4 O'CLOCK.
—The supply of wheat has been small during the week. The only
purchasers were our own consumers. For new corn few offers are to be
obtained, most of the samples hitherto shown being light in weight and
damp.
Rye has gone down, but the holders have warehoused their grain in
hopes of prices recovering.
Barley and oats are of ready sale, if the quality is good. This year's
oats are light and extremely damp.
During the six last days of Sept. 21 cargoes of corn parsed through
the Sound ; of these three were bound for British, three for Dutch,
and ten for Northern ports.
