PARIS, AUGUST 16.

The Monitettr was published to-day (Monday, Aug.
16), for the purpose of making known the following
Ordonnance of the King, re-establishing'the Censorship
of the Journals—a measure which, in the present situ-
ation of the Ministry and of the Opposition, is consi-
dered as of great political importance :

“ ORDONNANCE OF THE KING.

" Loots, by the grace of GOD, King of France and Navarre, to all
to whom these presents shall come, greeting.
" Seeing Art. 4 of the Law of 17th March, 1822, conceived in
the following terms:—
" If in the interval of the Sessions of the Chambers, serious cir-

cumstances should render ineffectual for the moment the measures
of guarantee and repression established, the laws of 31st March,
1820, and 26th July, 1821, may be immediately put again in force,
by virtue of an Ordonnance of the King debated in Council, and
countersigned by three Ministers.
" This disposition shall cease by full right one month after the
opening of the Session of the Chambers, if during this delay it has
not been converted into a law.

" It shall likewise cease by full right the day on which an °Mos-
nance decreeing the dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies may
be published.

" Considering that the jurisprudence of our Courts of Justice
has lately admitted for the Journals an existence de jure, indepen-
dent of their existence de facto that this interpretation furnishes
a sure and easy means of eluding the suspension and suppression
of the Journals.

" That it follows from this that the means of repression enacted
by Act 3, of the law of 17th March, 1822, are become insufficient.

. .
" Desiring, under these circumstances, and till the next meeting
of the Chambers, to provide efficaciously for the maintenance of
public order, with the advice of our Council of State, we have or-
dained, and ordain as follows : _ .

14 Art. 1. The laws of the 51st March, 1820, and 26th July,
1621, are again put in force, dating from this day.
" Art. 2. Our Minister Secretary of State for the Department of
the Interior is charged with the execution of the present ordonnaute
l 4 Given at the Palace of the Tuileries, the fifteenth day
August, the year of Grace eighteen hundred and twenty-four,
and of our reign the thirtieth. " LOUIS.
" By the King.
" The Minister of the Interior, " CO RB I ERE
" The Keeper of th- Seals, " DE PERONNET.
" The Minister Secretary of State of the Finances, President of
the C Juncil of Ministers, " DI. DE VILLELE."

A I%yorning Paper says, 'EI According to the latest
accounts from the Brazils, an excellent spirit prevails
there; which is particularly manifest whenever the
question of independence is agitated. The determina-
tion to maintain it at every risk appears to be a general
and rooted sentiment." Unfortunately for the assertions
of our brother Journalist, the latest accounts are of a
very different description; and the Bahia Papers, given
in the STAR of yesterday, acknowledge that the call on
the Brazilians to enrol themselves in the army, had not
been obeyed ; and a new Proclamation was issued, of a
more urgent nature, declaring that it was absolutely
nece,sary, for the defence of the country, that the invita-
tion should be attended to.

In a preceding column we have given some inte-
resting extracts from the Sierra Leone Papers relative to
the events in Africa; we observe that one of the articles
charges the Datch with exciting the hostilities of the
A.hantees. M. DUPUIS, whose work on A,lrantee we
have noticed elsewhere, is of a different opinion, though
he admits that, as rivals in commercial enterprise, the
Dutch did secretly rejoice at the misunderstanding be-
tween the KING and the British Authorities on the coast.
—A private letter, of the Bth of May, gives the particu-
lars of the death of Sir CHARLES M`CARTHY, who was
shot by the Ashantees, and 11;s head afterwards was
carried off as a trophy by the savages, but the revolting
account of his being burned alive, as stated in several
of the Papers, is totally unfounded.

In last night's Gazette will be found an offici4l noti
he.aion to our Allies, that hostilities with Algiers have ceased, and
that the blockade of that place is raised. Th. re is also a dispatch
containing all account of the burning of an Algerine brig sander the
eery muzzles of the guns of the batteries, which was executed with
a spirit and gallantry worthy of the character of the British navy.
