LONDON.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19.

This afternoon, despatches were received at the Foreign
Ofiire from his Excellency Lord HEYTESBURY, our
Ambassador at St. Peteraburgb. The despatches were
IA ought by a Gentleman who embarked at Hamburgh in a
atenuer, from which he landed this day at Greenwich.

morning, the Earl orA But D EF.N arrived in Town,
hat the Priory, where his Lordship gave a grand
!inner yesterday to a number of friends, and is to re-
: sa:t thither this afternoon for a similar purpose.

With reference to the details which we have extracted
orn the Morning Herald, giving au account of the entry
of ti.e Constitutionalists into Spain, we have merely to
observe, that there exist great doubts of their triumph at
Treient, on account of their well known want of co-operation
rtr.d unanimity, on one band; and the fact of a strong Roy-
aliNt force being in readiness to oppose them, on the other.

While we write, great confusion and mistrust prevail upon
ChAnge. Consols have receded to 551 for Account.
Various rumours are afloat to aeccrint for this decline. It is
said by some, to be sufficiently accounted for, by some failures
in the arrangement of transactions, which have been carried
over the last settling day. It has further been remarked
that a great deal Money Stock has come to market. But
there are not a few politicians, who attribute it to the in-
ternal state of the country, and the present condition of Ire-
land ; to support which, it is rumoured that Government are
assembling several steamers and small craft, to be in readi-
rw,th for the dispatch of troops.
We have private letters before us, received this day, by
the Dutch steamer, from Amsterdam, of Saturday's date.

Th. briefly, but decidedly, state, what to us was not at all
unlikely nor unexpected—that a counter-revolution had
been formed at Brussels agaiust the Provisional Govern-
ment and M. POTTER, and that the Clergy were the most
active in promoting it. The belief was strong in
that country, that Antwerp would be formed into
a separate duchy. The Prince of ORANGE and
Prince FREDERICK were expected to be present at the
opening of the States-General. An insurrection had broken
out during the night of the 2nd inst. at Mayence; which,
however, was readily quelled, and order restored. Mean-
time, we are given to understand, that four hundred Prussian
artillery had entered Mayence on the Gth instant ; and some
Austrian troops were expected on the 23d. The fortifica-
tions of the place v:ere undergoing repairs; and the en-
gineers work without ceasing.

i.e Patri.)te, Paris paper, received this day, repeats that
" an insurrection of the Ukraine is spoken of, and in seve-
ral parts of Russia, Lithuania, Livonia, and Poland. The
peasants are said to have taken arms against the feudal
system, and the Russian Government had ordered troops to
be marched in all haste towards these districts." We have
no further particulars, and cannot guarantee the truth of
this intelligence.

Again we have to be the communicants of unsatisfactory
accounts of the state of the Parisian populace. We yes-
terday made some remarks on the subject, suggested by the
opinions of our intelligent correspondent at Paris; who ap-
pears to us to sanguine as to tie moral change which the
last forty 3 (-sib are supposed to have effected in the character
of the Parisians. We ventured to say, that we feared the
present state of the French, rendered tranquil government
almost impacticable ; and we said we were induced to make
this remark more particularly, when reflecting on the existence
and peculiar character of the National Guards. We there-
fore think it necessary to state, that we are assured the
friends to orderly Covernasent in France, look to the Na-
tional Guard, on the contrary, at this juncture, as the only
means by which the progress of revolution has any chance

of being checked ; and in a postscript to the very• interest-
ing letter from our correspondent, which we publish to-day,ws
are furnished with a recent anecdote, which certainly
rather :supports this favourable view of their probable political
influence. Our fr icrid says—" Last night (the 16th) there
was n great crowd assembled before the Palais Royal, with
r!ags and other revolutionary emblems, crying vociferously
' Death to the Ministers ! ' The gates of the Palais Royal
were closed, and strong patrols paraded the streets; but the
crowd were quite regardless of the National Guard, who,
however, seemed faithful to their duty. A Captain of the Na-
tional Guards, made an attempt to wrest ono of the flags from
the bands of him who held it ; but the bearer was too warmly
supported,and he bore it ae.-ay in triumph,at the expense of half
his coat; and along with tho whole procession, marched up
the Rue Richelieu. This took place about 11 last night-
-1 witnessed it; and as far as I could judge, I thought the
National Guard very adverse to the proceedings of the mob."
So far our Correspondent : another account, descriptive of
the same incident, will be found in an extract from the
Alorn:ng Ilcrrtld ; but the above is the most distinct and
important; a 3 our correspondent's attention appears to have
been directed to the most interesting point—the conduct of
the National Guards.

We cannot bring such facts as the above before our
Readers, without accompanying them by the reflection, how
very terrific a state of society does it present to our view !
We see a newly formed Government—one not prescribed
by a military conqueror, but just newly formed and
fashioned according to popular taste--so weak in its energies,
as not able to check the palpably abandoned destroyers of
the public peace. We see a band of desperate agitators suf-
fered to parade the streets, to the terror of all the well-doing,
tranquilly-disposed inhabitants, and no power which dare ven-
ture to check its progre,:s by placing the ringleaders in their
proper place—a prison ; and this band make no pretence that
its object is to redress gi ievanco—nor to resist oppression ;
but merely to express a horrid inhuman determination to
overawe the calm deliberation of men, about to assemble for
the most sacred of all duties—adjudging to life or death their
accusal fellow creatures. Let our reader reflect on such a
state of things: let him ask himself—could his property
under such a state of things be secure? Could he be secure
in the exertion of his industry ? Could he have a hezne
that he could call his Castle ? If not, let him ever be
cautious in releasing mankind from the supremacy of exist-
ing law. Government is but the corporealised sagacity of so-
ciety, ruling itself. We do not say—be intimidated from all
reform—far from it; we say on the contrary, that necessity
for constant amelioration and gradual alteration, is our des-
tiny ; but never 1:.,t our impatience for reform destroy the
supremacy of Law.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.

AZCZIVED THIS DAY.

PARIS, OCTOBER 17.

Sta—A correspondent who undertakes to depict the pre-
sent situation, and the existing political feelings of France,
must not omit Religion, the fulcrum on which the lever of Go-
vernment depends, more or less, in every civilized country.
France was formerly the brightest jewel in the Roman Tiara,
her King had the flattering title of " The oldest Son of the
Church ;" and the thunders of the Vatican shook even her
Monarchs with dread. For some centuries past, however,
the Gallican Church has governed itself, it has become inde-
pendent, and although' acknowledging the Pope, as the spi-
ritual bead, it has denied his power of interference in the
internal regulation of her ecclesiastical affairs. Various
disputes have arisen upon these topics, until the defined limits
between spiritual and secular power were fixed by a con-
cordat. The canonisation of that excellent man, St. Vizi•
cent de Paul, gave rise to further difliculties, and from the
refusal of the French Parliament of those days to register a
decree of the King, arose a dispute, which was at
last terminated by the Revolution of 1789. From the height
of superstition to the depths of infidelity seems to be a very
common transition iu the human mind ; and, in the present in-
stance, this was the case with France. The words Priest,
and Aristocrat, wore deemed synonimous; and death or
flight emancipated the kingdom, or rather the republic of a
vast mass of superstition, occasionally interspersed by soma
men of charitable and liberal feeling. I do not take any
notice of the fantastical tricks played in Paris by Anacharsis
Cloots, and his visionary cotemporaries ; they wore the foole-
ries of a few, and did not infect the mass of the population.
When, however, that fiery spirit, the offspring of the Re-
volution, assumed the helm, he was aware of the political
influence which religion would yield, and thought to conci-
liate all parties byre-establishing the Roman Catholic worship
in its former splendour. This, indeed, was impossible;
the immense estates belonging to the Church had become
national property, and had passed into other hands ; still
Bishops were appointed, the Altars consecrated, and the
Church once more began to hope for her pristine dominion.
The restoration flattered those hopes still more, and many of
the returned ecclesiastics entertained the romantic idea, that
all church lands should revert to their original possessors ;
and the more sanguine held out, that only by this restoration
could the stain of infidelity be removed from the kingdom.
The age was too enlightened, however, to cause this ge-
neral confusion of property to gratify an ambitious priest-
hood, and Louis the Eighteenth was too sensible of the fra-
gile tenure by which be held his crown, to listen for one mo-
ment to such an absurdity. Charles the Tenth succeeded
him in 1824, and from his known fanaticism, and subjec-
tion to his spiritual guides, the most brilliant prospects were
augured to the bierachy, every Priest and Priestling held up
his head, and religion became the fashion of the day. All
who were struggling in the hope of promotion, found that
a strict attention to the ordinances of the Catholic religion
was the first requisite, and the municipal officer's certificate
of good conduct, was superseded by that of the cure, testi-
fying that the individual had duly confessed and received
the sacrament at the appointed times, as commanded by the
Rubric. It has been stated of Marshal Sault, the Duke of
Dalmatia, that the only symptoms of religion he was ever
known to display, were evinced during his campaign in the
Peninsula, when his affection for relics, if set in the precious
metals, and his regard for altar pieces, especially
those of Murillo, were truly edifying. His splendid collec-
tion in Paris attests his zeal as an amateur, but the plun-
dered churches, and monasteries, hold him in execration.
When religion was in favour at Court, he also became pious,
and I have seen him going in the morning to the Church
of St. Germain, opposite to the Louvre, followed by a ser-
vant carrying a splendidly-bound book of devotion. The
ex-King had passed both the days of his youth, and those of
his maturity in a state of Libertinism, and his Confessor
constantly inculcated, that the only mode to obtain pardon
hereafter, was by heaping benefits upon the Gallican Church.
To what length this might have gone, had it not been
checked by the growing good sense of the people,

it is irorce,ible to say. Cl.wlcs '.v .s a aenerc',s.
and 1 I* u..ethiLll4tiuniing what has taken place,
a kind-hearted man; but, unhappily of a very
confined intellect, and that mere wax, which took
the impression from those by whom he was sur-
rounded. Shortly after his accession a deputation
from the Protestants of Augsburgh waited upon him
to congratulate him, and to seek his protection as usual.—
Charles received them with kindness, assured them of the
enjoyment of their privileges as heretofore, but added, " It
is my duty to tell yen, that professing such opinions, you
cannot be saved." During the lase severe winter, the
King, from his private purse, sent 72,000 francs for the
poor of Paris. This was distributed by the Mayors of the
city, under the inspection of the Archbishop, who ordered
that none but attendants at their parish churches should be
partakers. The King, on hearing this, sent 4,000 francs
to the Protestant church, and the same sum to the Jewish
synagogue, for their poor—not only doing good, but tacitly
reproving the bigotry of Hyacinthe do --, the Arch-
bishop. At a ball given by the English residents, for
the benefit of their countrymen in distress, the King
furnished the hangings and ornaments from the Garde
Menble, and also wax candles and refreshments from the
Royal kitchen in the most liberal manner. Let us not for-
get these things in his hour of trouble, and lament his de-
plorable imbecility and ignorance, without impeaching the
few virtues allotted to him.

Since religion has once more held up her head in France,
she has been so miserably shorn of her beams that no young
men of good family are now destined to the Church. For-
merly it contained fat Abbeys, many Bishopricks, and prizes
worth a younger brother's attention. This is no longer the
case; the prizes are few, and many claimants. A very
severe course of study and discipline are necessary to qualify
the hierophant, and he has before him, after serving as a
di:servant, or inferior, for some years, merely to obtain the
cure of a parish at lest, the salary being but 1,000 francs
(401. sterling), and most probably placed in some miserable
village, deprived of any congenial society. The residences of
the clergy throughout the country aro wretched, and,
the idea of a parsonage, and society of a country commune'
hero, is widely different from the comfort and respectability
of an English village. Notwithstanding the poverty and
privations of those who undergo the heat, and the burthen of
the day, still a very largo sum is annually voted for the sup-
port of the Clergy ; but, as in other countries, a few engross
that which would make all respectable and happy. The
Buda for this year demands 36 millions of francs, nearly a
million and a half sterling ; but I have little doubt but this
sum will be reduced. The Concordat settled the ranks and
emoluments of the Galilean Church ; but during the late
reign considerable encroachments were made. Any one op-
posing these, was suspected of infidelity, and many abuses
gradually crept in, which the economical axe must lop away.
Among many I will specify a few. Cardinals were not re-
cognised by the Concordat : there are five who, being also
Archbishops, receive 55,000 f. in addition t s their other
emoluments. But ten Archbishops are allowed by the
treaty above-mentioned ; fourteen is the present num-
ber—fifteen thousand francs was the allotted salary, twenty-
five thousand is actually paid. Forty Bishops have been
multiplied into sixty-six, and their stipend increased from
ten thousand to fifteen thousand francs. The Canons and
Grend Vicars, in addition to their other preferments,
cost the country fifteen millions of francs. There is a most
expensive chapter at the Cathedral of St. Denis, and the
seminaries of the future priesthood demand three millions per
annum. It is thus, as in England and other countries, that
the Staff consumes the greatest part, and the really labo-
rious are in the want of the necessaries of life. With regard
to the state of religious feeling throughout the whole of this
kingdom, it is at a very low ebb. Of the mon I consider the
most part infidels, or, if nominally Catholics, not caring to
show it, except in articulo mortis.
From the conduct of the clergy at the former Revolution,
and I am concerned to add their present bearing, the people
feel convinced that they will uphold, all in their power, the
abuses of superstition and tyranny. They seem to have
entwined themselves with the old and decaying system of
abuses, and have not resolution to advance with the rapidly
increasing light of human knowledge. There appear in the
country to be two extremes of these spiritual guides. SOCIO
revel in the most gross licentiousness, and others aro wrapped
in a gloomy fanaticism, which denounces the innocent en-
joyments of life. The names of three of these Priests,
are known to the public not only as criminals of the
most disgusting and degrading brutality,but also for 'hewing
a degree of hypocrisy, malignity, and revenge, of which
it could scarcely be believed that human nature was capable.
The tribunals bear witness weekly at least, to extreme liber-
tinism among the clergy, although not distinguished by
such revolting features as the above alluded to. It
is to be hoped that the increasing good sense of
mankind will discover that a moral hierarchy is incompatible
with celibacy. Outrage Nature, and she will have her re-
venge. To no other cause can I attribute the dreadful crimes
at which all Europe has shuddered. The other class of the
priesthood have declared war against dancing, and that in
France, the most lively of all countries. In some instances,
lan admission to the sacrament of the mass has been denied to
those who have confessed themselves guilty of dancing. For-
merly, in a French village, the Sunday afternoon, after ves-
pers, was devoted to this amusement. But many of the young
ecclesiastics of the present day grow furious at the sound of,
the village fiddle, drum, or bagpipe. Zeal has so far outrun
knowledge and discretion, that, in several instances, the
priest has assaulted the musician, destroyed his instrument,
and has had, of course, to answer for his conduct
before the Tribunals. A few months siuco throe priests held
a consultation upon the conduct of a woman, who had not
confessed at Easter, and a sound flogging was prescribed;
that all might be done in ecclesiastical order, the bell-rope
was detached from the belfry, the most athletic was chosen
boatswain's mate, and in her own cottage, in the presence of
her husband and children, she was regularly started, and
afterwards compelled to beg pardon in the public street,
for the scandal she had brought upon the village!—
It is but justice to add, that these reverend fustigators'
were fined for their excess of zeal. Many of the priests
to this day omit in the service " Domine fat salvers
Philippine," but a hint from the different Prefects, pro-
posing to omit in their turn a necessary certificate, without
which they cannot receive their quarterly stipend, has ren-
dered the majority more loyal. I must now quit this sub-
ject ; would that it afforded a brighter prospect ; but on the
veracity of what I have stated you may rely.

The censorship being taken from the theatres, they have
commenced by dramatizing different scenes from the life of
Napoleon ; these appear to be very popular. At the Vaude-
ville, the Nouveautis, and the Ambign Comique, that wen•
derful man furnishes now the amusement of thousands. One
represents his school-days, his command at Toulon, and his
coronation ; another gives him as victor over Europe—
as abdicating his empire, and finishes by an sa-
-1 ticipation of the demand made in the Chamber
a few days since the entombment of his ashes
at the foot of the column in the Place Vendome. The
Queen has added, if possible, to the general estimation in
which she is held, by sending a sum of money to many brave,
men who fought in July, to clothe them for the national,
guard, their finances being unequal to their wish. The ad-'ourned trials of the Editors and Printers of the following

Letters from Madrid, of the 7th, which have been
municated to us, contain the following news :—" The
'of the ex-French Government were only taken down 5,..
terday, (Oct. 6,) from the hotel of the French emlei,sy
M. de St. Priest, ambassador of Charles X. has jest I)/
appointed by Ferdinand grandee of Spain of the fir.it CE 'ti
with the title of Marquis, and has received the gift of a cTit-
mandery of 60,000 reels of rent.
It is also said that M. de Bourmont, who has just ar:ivt..l
at Madrid, is appointed General-in-Chief of. the Spani.il,
troops assembled on tho frontiers of France. Thi.i nomiea.
tion is very likely to be true, when we take into con,ide:a-
tion that already Catalonia and the Basque Province, have
for Lieutenant-Generals two French refugees. nis new..
will perhaps at last open the eyes of our Ministers upon tlie
intentions and projects of the Spanish Government. Willi
can be the will of a Cabinet who has not yet acknowledged
Louis Philip I. and which surrounds itself with the mo:t
devoted servants of Charles X ? However absurd prospect:
may appear, may not Ferdinand dream of drawing from Lit:-
worth, those who drew him from Cadiz? Shall we alwav:
continue to have that pusillanimous discretion for a Cabinet,
where the discontented of Franco find so much sympatLy,
and upon which so much hope is feuded ?"—Le

We have repeated from most of the papers, that Genera;
Mina had returned from Bayonne to Bordeaux upon impor-
tant business ; and that the Quotidieme even added that
duel was on the tapir between that General and another Spa-
nish chief. This news is quite unfounded, and we lime
alremly traced its source and object. We have under
our eyes a letter from Mina himself, written from
Bayonne, and dated tiro 12th instant, in which he in-
forms his friends, that in a meeting of all the principal
Spanish refugees, at which he abstained from appearing,
ho was unanimously elected General-in-Chief of the ex-
pedition. The act is signed by General Lopez-Bang_,
Espinosa, Plasencia, Butron, Sancho, and twenty-one supe-
rior oilic3rz. Another meeting, composed of about sixtv
ollicers,::iTned at the same time an unanimous assent to the
principa: :Let.—Le Globe.

news of the acknowledgment of our Government by Russia
was ofiidtily announced at the Bourse before the opening
of the market ; and has not a little contributed to estallisli
confidence amongst the speculators: this caused firmness e.
our funds. The 3 per cents. have improved 45c. upon the
closing price of yesterday ; the 5 per cents. 40c ; and
tho ducats 60c. Theuncertainty which exists upon the re-
sult of events ready to burst in Spain, keeps busintvs still in
a languid stnt:: respecting the funds cf that country. There
have been, nevertheless, pretty numerous of:ers to-day, and
in consequence the Rentcs Perpetuelles fell three-quarter:,
and the Piastres Cortes one-half per cent. Till half-past
three all tho pikes got up; a slight re-action downwards
was then pretty general, but it only affected the 3 per cants.,
and must be attributed to the roali zatiou of profits.

A telegraphic despatch from the Prefect of Strasbnrg
transmitted to Government yesterday, announced that M.
le Baron Athalin had arrived in that city, carrying the format
recognisance of the French Government and Louis Philip I.
The same despatch stated, Clat M. le Baron Athaliu had set
out immediately on his route to Paris. At the moment cr:•
write, he is, without doubt, arrived.—Messager des Chart
bens, Sunday, Oct. 17.
The Quebec papers state that a copy of the Canada Civil
Government Bill has been received. It is said to be of the
following substance ...-41,500 of the revenues of Lower
Canada, naming the officers, are appropriated. £5,000 of
the Upper •Canada revenue are similarly appropriated.
