‘‘ PAa►s, MAILCH 2.
I' Our different patties which, on the accession of
Charles X. appeared, for a moment, to be blended to-
gether, now shew themselves in a more distinct and
marked manner than they have done for these twenty
years past. One part of our popolation begins to fear
teligious persecution, and considers its worship menaced.
Another part finds itself daily insulted, tin account of
the nature of its property, by the most influential mem.'
bers of the ruling party.
" The Chamber of Deputies is, with respect to the
Law of Indemnity, divided into three parties-Ist. The
popular party, which resists the measure merely because
it grants an indemnity to the emigrants as a matter of'
right. 2d. The emigrant party, which fights both for
its interests and f►►r the honour of its cause. 3d. The
Minister ial party, which is interposed between the other
two, and which has f.,r its chief object to retain the ad-
vantages of place and power.
•' The great question between the two first parties is
by no means a question of money. The milliard which
it is proposed to pay. to the emigrants is the point
least thought of. It is admitted on both sides, that
great errors and great crimes were committed during
the Revolution. But on which side aie the guilty?
Are they to be sought amongst those who brought
about and supported the Revolution, and who opposed
the invasion of their country ; or amongst those who
fought against their country, solicited foreigners to in-
vade it, and placed themselves in the ranks of fa
reignarsoies ?

" The Opposition, on their part, accuse the Emigrants
of having brought the war into France. They call to
recollection the invasion of the Prtissiaa army in 1792,
and its being conducted through the departments by a
corps of Emigrants, who took part in all the depreda-
tions, and frequently set the first example for their per-
petration. In a word, they revive all the painful recol-
lections which time had in a great measure effaced.
The project of law on sacrilege, which has been
adopted by the Chamber of Peers, is going to be dis-
cussed in the Chamber of Deputies. The discussion
wnich the law has already undergone establishes two
facts—namely, that since the abolition of the laws on
religion, none of the offenees which the Church calls sa-
crilege, have been committed; and, consequently, that
the law was not called for by the existence of any disor.
der. It proves, that the Catholic Clnrgy, to whom the
law has been given, has for its object not to suppress
social disorder—an offence against the feelings of so-
ciety--.but to punish the simor offence against the Deity;
the crime consisting in the unbelief of the real presence.
The first consequence which the Romish clergy draws
from it is, that every incredulous person is profane and
criminal. Let the Calvinists and other Protestants be-
ware of the power which this places in the hands of their
Catholic rulers. _ .

" Since this subject has been before the Public, editions
have been published of books, wh►ch evince the fury of
the Clergy; particularly of the case of the unfortunate
Lebarre. I need not describe to you the horrid butchery
of this young man, as it is already well known in Eng-
land. This sacrifice to the most furious fanaticis►n ►s
not ancient ; several of the Bishops who voted for the
law of sacrilege might have been witnesses of it. I may
add, that it is a very general opinion that the young
man was innocent."

have brought the intelligence, sailed from Calcutta on
the Ist of November.
CALCUTTA, NOVEMBEIts, 1124.
Sir Edward Paget, the Commander-in-Chief of the
troops assembling against the Burmese, proceeded on
the Ist instant, with a Body-guard of the Royals and
the Dumdum Artillery, to Barrackpore : on giving
orders for the Sepoys to March they refused, and be
gave them ten minutes to consideri when they still re-
fusing, he gave orders to fire upon them ; 450 lay dead,
and-600 in all were cut to pieces.
The following is another and more probable account
of this unfortunate affair :
_ _

a On Sir Edward Paget's first charge on the Sepoys,
when they refused to march, they gave way and a
nuMber of them jumped into the river and were
drowned; about fifty of them were killed, and horn
forty to fifty afterwards tried and hung. Order was
again restored and all was quiet. It was the 47th Re-
giment of Seim's which mutinied. Government:paper
only fell one per cent. which is a proof it was not
thought of great consequence." .

We have received the Allgemeine Zeitung of the 2d
inst. The only intelligence it contains relates to the
Greeks and the revolt in Servia. At Trieste, it appears
that a report of the surrender of Patras was current.
Prince MILOSCH, the Turkish Governor of Servia, has
issued a circular declaration respecting the insurrec-
tion, which he asserts was entirely the work of some
malignant people, who were "grieved at the peace
which he and the country enjoyed." He vaunts loudly
his fidelity to theSublimePorte,and dwells with so much
emphasis en the successful resistance he made to the
" fruitless endeavours" of the conspirators to induce
him to rebel, that it seems evident to us, either that he
is insincere in his allegiance,
.or that the power and ra-
mifications of the insurgents were considerable. •

The French Paper77rmday contain lengthened
details of the debate on Sir F. BURDETT'S motion, and
fall translations of the official documents that we pub-
lished last week of BOLIVAR'S victories. The discussion
in the Chamber of Deputies on the law of indemnity is
still continued. These Journals are therefore barren
of interest.

Nothing of importance occurred in the House- of
Lords last night; and the Commons did not sit, out of
delicacy, it is believed, towards the SPEAKER, who has
recently lost a brother, Colonel SUTTON.

We regret that the'news of the death of Mr. Row-
cnorr, our Consul-General at Lima, is confirmed. Mr.
Rowcnorr was a sensible and well-informed man ; in
conversation he was remarkably intelligent and pleasing;
in private life his character was that of a good husband
and a very indulgent father. A Vice-Consul went out
with Mr. Rowena?, who will assume, pro tempre, the
functions of his principal.

Chair on Monday, received intelligence of the death of his brother,
