EXCLUSIVE EXTRACTS
FROM TILE CONTINENTAL PAPERS.

PARIS, JULY 3.
We announced, from the Journal de Mayence,
the arrival of the Duchess of Berry in that city ;
it. is an error. They write us from Frankfort that
it does not allude to the mother of Henry V. but
to the Queen Hortense.—Le Globe.
A ietter from Vienna announces that the Duchess
rf Berry, accompanied by two natural daughters of
the Duke of Berry, will proceed towards Piedmont;
whence she hopes to penetrate into the south, and
unite the population there to those of Vendee.
The Duchess of Berry has given sufficient proofs of
courage and vivacity for us to suppose that she may
have conceived such a plan ; but peculiar charac-
ters, such as hers, are mistaken upon the means,
and allow themselves easily to be drawn into false
hopes. It would be difficult now to raise a party
in France in the name of the interests which she
represents. If anything caneurpass now the hatred
which is borne to disorder and anarchy, it is that
which is inspired by a family who precipitated us
into the embarrassments of the present situation,
and who never counted upon maintaining or re-
placing itself, but upon foreign invasion and upon
civil war.—Le Temps.
There was no council of Ministers yesterday
at St. Cloud. The Ministers remained at Paris
and waited upon the King individually to present
him their homages, after a month's absence. It
Is to day that the Council is assembled. Nothing
leas transpired of the nature of the discussions;
only it was remarked that M. Sebastiani, who
arrived at an early hour at St. Cloud appeared
very much agitated. It is certain that the direc-
tion in which he has engaged our policy may
become the object of grave accusations, and we
believe that he understands so himself."—Journal
du Commerce.

It did not require very great sagacity to foresee 1
that Don Pedro would not make a long sojourn in
France; and that England would soon take from
us that Prince who was at our disposal. Every- I
where, abroad as well as in Paris, we perceived in
the arrival of Don Pedro, a means furnished by I
fortune, to put an end to our differences about '
Miguel, deliver Portugal from the Monster, and I
assure our preponderance over the Peninsula. 1
The English thought the same—since they •
hastened to take Pedro away from us. Our
statesmen alo e have not viewed the thing
thus. The Anathema launched out upon '
the Buonaparte family, and we know not what de-
licate
deference besides to foreign courts, made us
keep the dethroned monarch in quarantine on our
shores, who came to throw himself into our arms.
More polite than us upon this occasion, the Eng- I
lisp have received him with all those flattering dis-
tinctions which James 11. called " French hospi-
tidily." They have despatched gentlemen to him ; '
they have offered him a palace ; they have put '
his expenses to the account of the pubic trea-
Bury: he is in fact the guest of England. But the '
grand law of that commercial Government is no-
thing for nothing. It is sufficient to read the
Councils which the English Journals address to the
Prince, to be assured that for England, Don Pedro
is the key of the Tagus, as Leopold is the key of
the Scheldt. It is again a crown which France
cedes to her rival, because she calls her at this
moment her ally.—La National.
The King has returned : every step which
brought him nearer to the capital, was a step to-
wards a political solution, whatever it may end in.
It is not repose which Louis Philippe will find at
the Palais Royal. After the bustle and discussions
of his journey, he returns to the divisions, and I
perhaps to the storms of the Council. Travelling
does not advance the march of events. The Elec-
toral aim of the royal tour has failed : there re-
mains for the King's serious consideration the deve-
lopment of sentiment at Metz ; for the President of
the Council the more serious chagrin of having
been too long a time withdrawn from the part of
active arbitrar of the Ministerial destinies. The
mind of M. Perier usually bears down, with all I
the force of his obstinate character, the opinion of
the King ; the King being for the time removed
f. om him, the influence was weakened ; and he lent
an ear to other advice : hence, conviction was
staggered, and gave place to doubt. ln this state
of things, what will be the aspect of the Council
at its first meeting ? That much boasted unity is
de.-troyed ; the irritable President of the Council!
ill see, face to face, the author of those
warlike rumours which have shaken the Royal
taith upon the safety of the pacific system.
Explanations will be smart. M. Perier is not
the man to submit to incompatibility of ten-
tioient, without demanding separation. A rupture
appears imminent : the system has produced its
fruits: the King will know that before all, he must
jt:dge men by their works—tbings by their results.
These works—these results— what are they ?
Anarchy in principle—anarchy in exterior rela-
tions—anarchy in the streets. Power has sown
anarchy every where—it fears all—has fear of
foreigners—fear of liberty—because it has the fear
the PEOPLE-of that heroic people who destroyed
the restoration, and whom Power fears incessantly
since it has become a quasi restoration.—La
Revolution.
