LONDON.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1.

In the subsequent columns of our Journal, ow Readers
will find, that our Correspondent at Paris has supplied us,
by the Estafette of this morning, with a fresh supply of in-
formation, which, like the interesting letter of the Count
no et. alr, and other intelligence, which we conveyed
to the public yesterday from the same source, we believe we
may safely assure our readers, is exclusive to our Paper.
We feel it to be our duty, and it shall be our study, to
make our Paper communicate, as far as materials reach us,
alt the information which can illustrate the present feverish
and terrific state of public feeling on the Continent. We are
anxious that the Readers of the STAK shall have a complete
view, not only of facts, but opinions : for it is the latter
which govern the former; and to prognosticate and
prudently prepare for the one, it is necessary to
study the other. But, while thus performing what
we sonceive the mere administrative, or official duties
of an Editor, we are anxious that our readers should
not attribute to ourselves any sentiments, or set of opinions,
which may be quoted in our Paper as the opinions of others ;
and once for all, we beg of them to understand, that
we consider ourselves only responsible for the senti-
ments, or views, or opinions, supported in this and the
literary departments of our Paper—acknowledging, at
the same time, that we are generally responsible for the
moral tendency of our columns. Having made these pre-
fatory remarks, we recommend to our readers the perusal
of another letter from our French Correspondent. We
know him to be a man able, and well informed on Parisian

politics ; and in his views, may be seen the views of the
anti-ministerial party in France.
If our readers are mentally constituted as we are, they
will be of opinion that the state of the Continent at present,
affords foundation for the most unfavourable presentiments
to those who value tranquillity and security—which are in
fact all that can render the social state preferable to the sa-
vage. We have heard the late revolution in France termed
the enviable revolution ; but we confess ourselves of the class,
whom some may deem alarmists, in believing that we unfor-
tunatel y cannot speak of that revolution as complete. We
feel, however, as we have no doubt the majority of our
countrymen must feel, that kind of congratulatory pleasure of
exemption from the evils around us, which is so finely
described by LUCRETIUS, and which some have argued
to be a little at variance with the benevolence, of
our nature. It is, however, incontestably true, that when
the lightnings flash, the thunders roll, and the winds whistle
around the cottage, it is then that the domestic circle draws
closer around the hearth, and domestic security, is most va-
lued ; and so we have no doubt it will be, and should be,
with the people of this country. Let us appreciate our own
social institutions, and support their inviolability.

His Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON left th, Pavilion
at Brighton rather unexpectedly yesterday; baying been
recalled to town, by no less than three express messages,
requiring the Noble Duke's presence in Downing-street.

At nvo o'clock this day it was reported, and believed upon
'Change, that a great force, front Prussia, is upon its march
to the westward.

Private letters from Paris, received this day, assign,
sea
the cause of the decline of the French Rennie, that it was
Leheyed in that Capital, that England was arming abd bad
sent orders to the different seaport, to prepare thlpi for im-
mediately sailing to the Scheidt. This Amur was
strengthened by a reference JO, and considerstiOn of the
treaty with the Dutch ; by which England end the other ,
Alit t 1 Powers are bound td support that country.

We are informed that a proposal, to the following effect,
has been made by the provisional Government of Brussels,
to:the King of HOLLAND. This intelligence has been com-
municated in a private letter to a mercantile gentleman of
the highest respectability and consideration. The provisional
Government require " that the Prince of ORA x o E be made the
King of the NETH ER LA N ns—to bold his Court at Brussels—
and to have separate laws, and a constitution of his own,
for the preservation of the liberties of the subject." In the
critical emergency in which the Kix° is placed, little doubt
was entertained of his acceding to these, or to any other hu-
miliating proposals, which might be made to him.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.
DECEIVED THIS DAT.

On Monday, two members of the Societe des Antis du
Peuple had an audience of the King, for the purpose of con-
versing with him on the affairs of the Society.

The King transacted business on Monday evening with
the Minister of Public Instruction, and yesterday with the
Minister of the Interior, the Keeper of the Seals, and the
Minister for Foreign Affairs. Baron Pasquier, President,
and the Marquis de Lemonville, Grand Referendary of the
Chamber of Peers, had the honour of being admitted to a
private audience of his Majesty.

It appears that the decision of the Societi des Antis du
Peuple not to meet again in public, was not unanimous. A
sitting was announced for Monday evening at the Madge
Peltier, Rue Montmartre, where it became before-hand e
subject of general conversation. Fortunately the National
Guards were at hand. At the approach of the hour of
meeting, a platoon of the Guards posted themselves at the
entrance of the Manege, and only allowed admission to the
persons of the house. The members of the society who pre-
sented themselves for admission were told there was no ad-
mittance; and to every possible argument to obtain admit-
tance, the same answer was given. During the whole
evening, numerous strong patroles paraded the Rue Mont-
martre and the streets adjacent, protecting the circulation of
carriages, and affording security to business. Thus a second
sitting has entirely failed.

The Sittings of the Chamber of Deputies yesterday
afforded ns the measure of the zeal and eloquence which the
ex-Ministers may expect from their friends : these efforts
are as yet of extreme mediocrity, and do not show much
warmth of devotedness. M. Berryer delivered a cold and
diffuse speech, upon reading which, one is not surprised that
the Ex-Ministers declined having him for their counsel. It
contains, however, the two principal arguments which the
defence will seek to render available on the trial. First, the
Charter declares the King's person sacred and inviolable ;
Charles X. has been expelled, and his inviolability contemned,
and therefore his Ministers cannot be unsigned. Thus,
because Ministers have committed such an offence as has
been followed by a revolution, accompanied by the death of
some thousand citizens, they ought to be screened from all
prosecution. If their ffence bad been less, and had not
been followed by such serious consequences, they might
have been impeached ; but the ill they have done to the
King, whose councillors they were, absolves than from
all the ill they have done to the nation, and the blood
they have shed. As they are criminals towards every body,
they have acquired the privilege of impunity. This is the
argument in all its force : but we doubt whether it will ap-
pear a victorious one in the eyes of every body. Besides,
has inviolability been contemned ? The charter declares the
King's person sacred and inviolable. Does not the journey
from Ramboillet to Cherbourg show how scrupulously this
principle has been respected ? Again it has been said, that
the nomination of the peers created by Charles X. having
been cancelled, the nature of the tribunal which is to try
the ex-Ministers has been changed ; and that-theta-
peached persons will not now have the judges which
they ought to have. Besides the principles of right'
that might be opposed to this objection, it would
result that Ministers, however gailty they might be,
might assure themselves of eternal impunity. When
the moment should approach for them to be over-
thrown by the national indignation, they would have only
to make a batch of Peers, so that their creatures might form
a majority in the Chamber, and they would find in this last
attempt a shield against the avenging nation. A cause is
bad, indeed, when it can be supported only by such sophis-
try.—Courrier Fralicais.

Yesterday Mr. Berryer had praised Charles X. the pat-
tern of Kings, as it is known, who has passed 28 years of
his life in stirring up foreigners against his country, and 15
years in conspiring to our subjection. To-day we have al-
' Most heard the praise of his Ministers. That the Deputies
of the right side weaken, or extenuate a crime, which they
should have liked to see crowned with success, is easily
conceived ; but to see Deputies of the other parts of the
assembly, to appear not to understand the importance of the
accusation, which weighs on the ex-Ministers, appears to
a difficult to comprehend. Those Ministers have violated
their oaths, made a shameful attempt on the laws of our
country, and shed blood to maintain their attempt. This is
the crime they have to answer for. If there are any who
have taken a part in it, and of which the signature had been
taken by surprise, and who might have endeavoured to de-
lay the execution of those fatal orders emanating from the
Cestheil, nothing can be more lawful than to make the
most of these circumstances in their favour. But whes
the most enormous attempt is to be dealt with, to say
that such one amongst them has abstained from an illegality
one hundred times renewed—to pretend to extenuate the or-
dained massacres—to agree that M. d'Haussex has signed

the ordonnanoss, and tau part in the Council who-wan
M decide the massacres of the Parisians, and yet to jus-
tify him by saying that he has well behaved towards the
opponent which the electors opposed to him, is treating too
bluntly the Assembly—it is to disavow the importance of a
gingko ; and irritating the sores which still bleed. We do not
speak of the electoral conduct of M. d'Hausses, neither that
bemuse still bid, which has defiled his administration.'
The accusation instituted against the lost Ministry, awakens
pains the most poignant, resentments the most profound.
which a people could ever feel. Those impressions lows
DO room to complaisant apologies and frivolous allegations;
—Deputies are not allowed to forget it.—Courier Francais.
