RETFORO, Nov. 3n.
Tke market was well attended this day, but business was done upon
a very limited scale; this however did not arise either from sato or
money or for want of grain, but eddy from the state of the ,ry 11111
of the London Marker*. Those persons who had vim to sell, p.Lmen.
lardy Wheat, have been calculating that a considerable rue st take
place before the termination of the year, in consequence of t ll' tit •Ilue-
rim of this description of property which has ale. atly rukett r litee,
and of the deficiency of this years'. product ; hoe. ti r, el.!
former cause may be likely to affect the ,r.tle .o.'

the latter will certainly have a matetial :affect, which hint;
but the poising scale of prices relative to the in,roduct of for. rag
grain can fully counteract. Even at this tally period, such is
want of the agriculturists, that the stacks are ditninisibtlig vt re; (gm,
and hefore the commencement of the new year, the sight oh a corgi buck
will almost he a novelty. The best par.els of Wheat wt le much the

grinding parcels not only maintained the high prices last week
quoted, that in some instances obtained Is. per quarter more. Oats
maintain their prices, but are not dearer ; the PalllC observation will
apply to Blend.eorn and Rye. Dry Beans ere 6d. per load dearer,
and soft omit are not cheaper. Good partridge Peas are Is. per

CORN EHCHANGE, MANCHESTER, Nov. 30.
The show of samples at this morning's market was rather small, and
the attendance of dealers slender. Fine New English and Old Foreign
Wheat were in deassnd, and realised rather higher prime. Grind ti g
Barley is a shade lower, but Oats are held firmly by the merchants and
speculators at 4d. to Id. per bushel above last Saturday's rates. Fire
Old Beans are ls. per quarter higher. We continue to have a fair de-

We had a good supply of Wheat from our farmers to day, for which
there was a brisk demand at an advance of about la per quarter for the

Our market is getting bare of Barley, and expect the beat snivels will
meet a ready sale. Fire Malt is in great demand. Little English Eye

LONDON.

FRIDAY. DECEMBER 3.

This day Mr HIEBERIOLQUHOVN, Mr. MAN-
NING, Mr. MATER, and Mr. BROWNE, as a Deputation of
West India merchants, had an interview with Lord GODE-
RICH , at his Lordship's Office, in Downing-street.

The Deputies, M. BRIESSON and Mr. CARTWRIGHT, on
the part of England and France, in the affairs of Belgium,
still remain at Brussels.

The Marquis of Lsysnowwz [this day transacted busi-
ness, for a considerable time, at the Council Office.

In justice to ourselves, we may mention to our Readers,
in directing their attention to our Foreign Intelligence,
this day, that the matter communicated by us, exclusively,
in the same department of our Paper yesterday,forms to-day
the most prominent feature of Foreign Intelligence in all the
Morning Papers.

We yesterday gave a hasty sketch of our views, as to
what should be the limits of rational expectation, on the much
agitated and important measure of reform in Parliament, and
e e next proposed to explain our reasons, for thinking that on
the subject of retrenchment of the national expenditure,
and reduction of taxation, the public were likewise indulg-
ing themselves, in expectations which no Administration, in
the present situation of the country, could realize. We
have no doubt, that our present Ministers will sincerely, and
anxiously, apply their minds to confirm, as far as possible, those
hopes which have, in some degree, their origin in their
own expressed opinions, both before and since they have
come into office. Still, however, we foresee, that all the
retrenchment it will be in their power to accomplish, although
highly proper to be carried into execution, will not mate-
rially relieve the present distress of the humbler classes of
labourers, or operatives, as they are called, throughout the
country. The Military and Naval Establishments of the
country, cannot be prudently, we fear, reduced ; and the
remaining expenditure—that of our Civil Establishment—
although no doubt admitting of some retrenchment,
must leave a very large amount, even when re-
duced, by every practical expedient, to the lowest. We
consider it, however. absolutely essential, that all Fecal:aisle
retrenchment should be accomplished ; and if, as is now re-
ported, the retrenchments will be made from the salaries of
the higher offices of State, in greater proportions than from
the lower, it will be most satisfactory to the public, and cre-
ditable to the Ministers. In fact it will have a more real effect.
in reconciling the suffering portions of the community, to
the existing state of Government, than any thing which
can now be done ; although we conceive, as we have already
said, that the real relief which will be expected, as the result
of such retrenchment, is much over-rated,both by the public.
sad those who take upon themselves the task of instructing
the public, and protecting their interest.
It is too often the case in human affairs, that what is de-
sirable to accomplish, is not practically expedient to accom-
plish at once, or at any particular moment. It is easy for
such lists of desirable retrenchments to be made oat, as ap-
pears this day in the columns of the Times ; and it is most
easy to point out, in cogent language, the absurdity of
existing abuses; but when they have long existed,
they have not existed idle; they have not ex-
isted without rearing around themselves, fortifications of
dehisce. Mr. Hums, who with such praiseworthy perti-
nacity, holds up to notice existing extravagance, must
know that the difficulty he experiences is accomplishing his
objects, has not arisen, at any time, even under Ministers
most suspected of impurity, so much from a want of volition
in favour of his propositions, on the part of those in power,
as from the very cause we have just mentioned—the influ-
ence in the working of the Constitution, which those inter-
ested in the extravagance, have not failed to secure for
themselves, during the enjoyment of its fruit. When
abuses exist, there are only two practical modes of a peo-
ples ream* them—by violence, or rational, legitimate,
sad meoseeeplly gradual removal. The first, no rational, no

good man, will approve; u the evil it produces, far—very
far—overbalances the possible present good : for all rational
men know, that in beginning institutions, from the very
foundation stone, men must be our actors. with all their
weaknesses, depravities, and false education;—and that the
superstructure, as they rear it upwards, will not be more de-
void of rents, obliquities, and imperfect workmanship, than
was, perhaps, the fabric removed. The other course be-
comes therefore, that which is only to be soundly advocated.

With this chain of reasoning in our minds, we are often
inclined to think, that well-meaning reformers are some-
times prone to injure the very cause, which they are anxious
to advance ;—and, at the present juncture, we are appre-
hensive, that such may prove to be the case. Never
within the period of our recollection, or even historical
knowledge, have the British nation had a set of men in
power, more probable, we think, from their past profes-
sions, from their long habits of thinking, from their en-
lightened, bold, and emancipated intellects, to do efficiently
the work of political regeneration, with such success
as his MAJESTY'S present Ministors.—The only Mi-
nisters which approached to the standard which we
expect in them, were their immediate predecessors. The
Duke of WELLINGTON, could he have coincided in senti-
ment with them, on the one great and indispensable point,
would have proved himself the greatest public benefactor
this country ever saw ; because he commanded some influ-
ence in the State, which they may have to combat; but let
us hope, on the main interests of the country, there will be
no antagonist forces brought into action.
We say let us hope ; but alas ! we know too well, as we
have already remarked, that the work contemplated produces
that result ; and this brings us to what was the main object
of our remarks, to urge on all who wish well to the
cause of retrenchment and reform, that degree of patience.
which can alone enable his MAJESTY'S present Ministers to
serve their country. The question simply is--are we to
have the good work commenced, and something to be accom-
plished, which will diminish antagonist power and lead to
future advantage ?—or are we impatiently, and ignorantly,
to break in upon half-formed plans, frustrate the necessary
contrivances and expedients of prudence and discretion, and
check, in their first efforts. those energies which have now
a chance of relieving the Common-weal, of much of the evil
time has produced, and the prompt diminution of which can,
alone, we hesitate not to say, avert all the uncertain, and
tremendous present consequences of violence.

It was a consideration which, when we first to-day,
took up the pen, we had intended to urge on the attention
of our Readers, that the relief, to the labouring classes,
which is expected from the removal of taxation, is much
overrated. As long as we have the necessary expenditure
of the State, before referred to, and the interest of our debt,
to pay, we conceive this country must labour under a very
oppressive share of its present load of taxation ; but we are
of opinion that it is not taxation which is the cause of our
present evils ; and we think on some future occasion we shall
be able to prove it. At present we have only time and
space to say, that if the industry of our population be
productively called into action—if our commercial spirit can
again be called into life —and every man shall once more have
something to do, essential to his neighbour's comfort,
which, in a few words, is the desideratum of all political
economy, we need not much trouble our brains about a few
millions, more or less, of expenditure, or taxation.

We are always desirous of affording our readers in this
department of our paper a kind of sketch, or a "Royal way"
to the Parliamentary debate ; but have to-day almost written
ourselves out of space for the purpose. Had we wished it,
however, we would have found it almost impossible, without
actual butchering, to attempt compressing the admirable
speech of the Lonn CHANCELLOR into a few sentences
All we can indeed say, is all we need say, which is, that
last night the LORD CHANCELLOR brought forward in a
very lucid, enlightened, and modest speech, his great mea-
sure for supplying the modus operandi, of one man re-
covering his rights from another, without accomplishing the
inevitable ruin of both himself and his antagonist. His
plan of local judicature, is, we conceive, suggested by the
Scotch Laws. While we praise the introduction, however.
of such improvements, we know that theory is so often
distant from practice, that we congratulate the country on
perceiving, that our late excellent LORD CHANCELLOR,
and our present unparalleled Bench will give the measure
a severe and searching scrutiny. Nothing of importance
occurred in the Commons.

We are happy to bottoms the medium of laying before
the public the eloquent letter of Dr. Bow *two to WiLLaws
DE CLERQ, of the Hague, and we direct the Reader's at-
tention to it. It cannot fail to interest the most indifferent;
and the most implicit confidence is, of course, to be
placed on the enlightened views of the experienced
and talented author. Doctor BOIVRING places in a strong
point of view, the impossibility of any lasting union,
between Holland and Belgium ; and the result has
proved that he has been all along perfectly right
in his previous arguments on this subject. How
often has the Doctor spoken and written to the
effect, that " language, literature, religion, manners, his-
torical recollections, political associations—entry thing pro-
claimed the impracticability "of such a anion. "It was a
most unhappy wedlock." To those who have paid
the slightest attention to various articles in this ,pa-
per, within the last two or three months, on the sub-
ject of Netherland policy, it need not be stated how un-
equivocally we concur with Doctor BOWEINO, when
he likewise states, that " the union of Batavia and Bel-
gium was fraudulent and foolish—a blind sacrifice to the
interests of both ; that time, far from produeingsympathy was
daily sowing stronger and stronger antipathy ; that a
rupture. either by consent, or by violence, was inimitable ;
and that such a rupture would bring with it, many SaVIIS_
tages to both." We are the personal evidence to the oor-
rectness of this statement, to the very letter;—aid we now
demand an attentive perusal of the Doctor's letter on this
subject which graces one of our previous columns.

POREWN INTELLIGENCE-EXCLUSIVE.

PARIS, Dec. 1.

SlR—The clergy—the incorrigible clergy, are still both
openly and covertly exerting their utmost influence to
thwart the existing government, and by a series of petty
hostilities to keep up the excitation in the public mind.—
They are well aware that if mankind should flourish in their
prospects, and enjoy existence without their interference,
that a grand discovery will be made, and all hope of re-
shackling those who have once escaped from religious
tyranny, appears futile and absurd. In a former letter, I
gave a detailed account of the Gallican Church. its inde-
pendence, in temporal affairs, of the Pope, and stated the
fact, that the Concordat establishing the staff of the church,
bad been grossly violated by the dethroned monarch,
who had created new, and expensive offices, greatly
added to the numbers stipulated, of Archbishops
and Bishops, and increased the salaries of these digni-
taries, at least by one half. A few days since an ordon-
nance appeared, abolishing the dignity of Cardinal in France,
as not provided for by the Concordat, and retrench-
ing the salaries, and the expenses of the five-favoured
mortals who held that office. This has caused the Abbe
de la Mennais, who is the Sir Harcourt Lees of the high
church party, to overstep the bounds of prudence so far,
that the two last numbers of a journal, which he has lately
started, entitled L'Aveair, for the purpose of advocating
the claims of that faction, to be seized at the Post-office, as
calculated to excite hatred against the Government, and to
propagate seditious doctrines among the people.
The first article, which attracted the notice of the
Minister of the Interior, was an address to Bi-
shops (aux eviques de France), which informs them
that Catholicism is oppressed with an iron yoke (Joug
de Fer) and from the lamentation it makes, a foreign reader
might be led to believe that the persecutions of Nero and
Caligula, were once more in force against Christianity This
is but preparatory to the second article, recommending a
Catholic association, and its concomitant rent, estimating
that there are 25 millions of that religion in France ; and
that their coalition in clubs, would give them an imposing
force, and restore the Church to its former splendour. This
scheme has been smouldering for some time past, and the
immediate cause of the application of the match, appears to
have been the ordonnance above mentioned, and also, another
reducing the stipend of the Archbishop of Paris to 50,000 fr.
(2,0001.) on which it is argued by the Quotidienne and Ga-
zette, that the poor man must absolutely starve. [N.B. A very
large sum was seized upon him on the 28th July, as he was
endeavouring to escape through the barriers, disguised in
his gardener's jacket and apron, which has since been re-
turned.] It has been customary during the former
Government, to commence every session of the Cham-
bers by a solemn procession to the Cathedral of Notre
Dame, to hear the Mass of the Holy Spirit —Hesse de
&Esprit ;—in this procession the Kiug and Royal Family,
attended by the whole Court, were accustomed to walk in
State. Each Court of Law, on re-entering upon their
functions after a vacation, followed the Royal example ;
and the ceremonies were so conducted, that they seemed as
if their power was inefficient, without the sanction of the
Church. At the last of these solemn pageants, which Charles
the Tenth was fated to witness, the above-mentioned Arch-
bishop (Hyacinthe de Quelen) publicly addressed his Ma-
jesty, wishing his arms success over his enemies in Africa,
and added, " also over the domestic enemies, who encircle
you," alluding to the liberal deputies who were present. This
was previous to the address of the 221. Since the Revo-
lution, the Chamber no longer attend the Meese de l'Es-
prit ; and of all the Courts, the Cour des Comptea alone
performed that ceremony. This Court resembles that of
the Exchequer in England, and is obstinately wedded to
ancient customs. Of the tribunals in the provinces, most
have omitted it, although the bishops have had recourse to
negociation, to family interest, and even, when these failed,
to intimidation, they have been but very partially success-
ful. Where the President has submitted, but few of the in-
ferior Judges and the Bar have attended. At Lyons, al
long diplomatic arrangement took place, the Archbishop
using both interest and eloquence, with undiminished zeal,
for several days. It was objected that he was not in the
habit of complying with the mandate from Rome, which
enjoins the word Phillippunt to be constantly added, to the
formula of the prayer for the King : Domine, lac saluum
regem Phillippunt ; but this last word the whole body of the
Clergy omit unless compelled by fear to admit it ; leaving it
to the conscience of themselves and audience, to apply it
to whatever King they think fit. The Archbishop of Lyons
declared, that upon this point he was fixed ; and
that neither himself, nor the Clergy of his diocese,
should sing or say the obnoxious word ; consequently,
all negociation terminated. But the prefect of the
department having sent a circular to the mayor of
every village, requesting to be informed, if the curd obeyed
the mandate, or the contrary, and it being reported that he
would decline signing the quarterly document, which en-
titles the priest to draw his salary, if the King's name was
omitted at ten over night of the day preceding the sitting of
the Court, the archbishop pretended to have received an
order, by telegraph, from Cardinal Clermont de Toners,
allowing him to comply, and that he would yield obedience
accordingly to his spiritual chief. The Courts attended,
and listened with anxiety for the contested word. It was
studiously omitted, and the clerical body glanced a super-
cilious smile of triumph at the Jurisce ignite assembled,
who complain bitterly of the "rice
,fides of the Jesu-
itical party. The above receipt of the prefect of Lyons
has been followed by many other Prefects
,in their different
departments, and universally with good effect among the
country clergy, who have no other dependance than the
salary allowed by the Government. Your readers may
think this is solemn trilling, bat those who recollect the
stress laid by the British nation, upon the exclusion of the
late Queen's name from the Liturgy, may find is our own
annals a ease In point. The Duke of °rheas, a aim
saiWile young am. heir-apparent of the throne. his lately
made s tour to Lyons to review the national guard of that
foe city. His progress has been 4 eostiaued scene of tor ,

tivity and congratulations, and has fully demonstrated the
loyalty of the population of the South. While at Lyons,
among other deputations, the reverend priesthood, anxious to
worship the rising sun, waited upon his Highness with a
most adulatory address. The spirited young tun
refused to receive the deputation, saying that be despi,,,l
their avowed hostility to his estimable father, and the ton.
sured varlets slunk away in dismay. Great, indeed, lis;
been the stub, that the Gallician church has received from
the last happy change. Since the accession of Charier,
who was known to be wholly influenced by his confesso7,
the Archbishop of Rheims, the most brilliant visions 1.11
floated before their exalted imaginations. They hoped
see the forfeited lands restored, the Monasteries, Abbeys
and Convents arising in their pristine glory, and the whose
hierarchy resplendent as ewer. Short-sighted mortals
They had not perceived the growth of knowledge, the daily.
spreading influence of the enlightening Press. An attennt
at a miracle would be received now, with a loud burst of
laughter, instead of holy awe and rapture.
Marshall Soult is displaying amazing activity in the al.
department; he is at his bureau every morning at four
o'clock. It is now confidently stated that 15 regiments of
Infantry, and five of Cavalry are to form a camp at the foot
of the Pyrenees. Gen. Harispe has left Paris to inspect tie
fortresses of the South. Gen. Diebitsch of the Balkan
is reported to command the army on the Russian frontiers
The declaration of Earl Grey has given great pleasure to
our politicians. It corroborates what I mentioned as being en-
tertained in my last letter ; but the words from such s
man—" peace with Europe, and friendship with France,"
have quite electrified them. Twenty-five years war with
France, and all her allies single-handed, taught them to re-
spect our prowess, and to value our assistanre, should it lie
wanted. Should any war take place, Belgium will be im.
mediately annexed to France, to the great joy of both par-
ties. She does not fear the invasion of her territories ; and
her whole disposable force can be employed in otlensi‘s
operations.

I remain, yours, truly,

By an order given this night and notified to the advocate,
for the defence of the Ex-Ministers of Charles the Tenth,
the Court of Peers has decided that the discussions shall
commence on the 13th of December.—Le Temps.

The members of a deputation which has been presented
this day to the King, reported at night with enthusiasm
the reply of Louis Phillips to the discourse which they had
addressed to him. -" At the first report of a cannon which
shall be fired against our liberty, my friends," exclaimed
the King with warmth, " I shall come and place myself at
the !head of our brave National Guard, and I shall call
upon all the good citizens to come and die with me to de-
fend France !" It is impossible to make known the im-
pression which these words, pronounced with warmth and
in an elevated voice, have produced. Powerfully will they
be felt, and long remembered throughout France ! —Le
Temps.

The English Journal from which we printed the news of
Madame the Countess of Bourmont being at Jersey, w•aa
badly informed. Madame Bourmont has not quitted Paris.
—Journal du Commerce.

The Journals have announced that an engagement had
taken place not far from Venluo between our army and the
enemy, and that the volunteers had made 2,000 prisoners ;
that news is entirely without foundation. Our troops have
taken position, but no engagement has taken place.—
Courrier des Pays Bas.

Some Journals have announced that the Prussian troops
have entered Holland from Maestrisht, and that orders have
been given to the Commandant of Lille to direct the French
troops upon Mona. These report, are absolutely without
any foundation. The Congress, in its last sitting, has de•
clared felons the Judges of the Duchy of Luxembourg,
who rendered justice in the name of the Grand Duke
Williatu, King of Hollaad.—Courrier Francais.

The Order of the Day, for to-morrow, in the Chamber
Of Deputies, is announced for Ministerial communications.
It appears no less certain that several important measures will
be proposed. A project of a Law is spoken of, for which
a credit is to be asked for the purpose of fortifying Paris.—
Journal die Commerce.

The Duke of Orleans arrives at Paris to-morrow, from
his tour. Everywhere upon his route he has found the po-
pulation ready to fight in defence of their liberty and the
inpependence of their country ; but it is, above all, in the
departments of the frontiers, that the sentiment of National
independence carried itself in the highest degree. Their
enthusiasm knows no bounds.— Journal du Commerce.

" To-morrow the Ministers will present to the Chambois
the reports and the propositions which have occupied them
for the last two days. They will, it is said, declare that
Prance, faithful to the intentions which she has manifested
since the revolution, will observe invariably the principle of
non-intervention upon which she has agreed with the British
Cabinet ; but that she will consider as a direct aggresssion
all intervention by the force of arms in the affairs of other
countries ; that France will not remain disarmed in pre-
sence of the preparations by which she is surrounded.
that she will advance her army to 500,000 men, in oruer
that she may be ready to defend her independence agates'
whoever may menace it, but she will remain estranged from
all spirit of conquest. For this purpose the government will
demand an extraordinary c.-edit of 150 millions of francs.
r which will be in a great part covered by the funds in reserve
of the indemnity, and by tit• economy made upon the last
budget."-- Courrier Francais.

SWITZEILLAXD.—We are written to, dated 25th of No-
vember:—" We are ins horrible crisis; a thousand reports
are in circulation this morning. We are assured that the
Government is about to retire ; that in the villages of that
canton is even where planted the tree of liberty,ornamented
with tri-coloured ribands. It is said, that tranquillity, is me-
rionaly disturbed at Lucerne. It is thought that the Govern-
ment of Zurich itself will be compelled to retire before the
lead of the week." Other letters from Zurich announce that
a fermentation not less manifest reigns in the canton. An
assembling of 16,000 citisens is about taking place, and the
most energetic resolutions have been taken for the reform of
the Constitution.—Ls Globe.

PILDNONT.--(Printo Correspondence.)—A letter from
&on states* that the King of Sardinia is about to raise as
army of 60,000 men ; and it is said that he will call under
tbe lag am to his last soldier. The Austrian Paulucci has
made mamma pemettoss annoys the under officers, ill
enter to attach them to bis party : but a great part of the
troops are discontinued, and de um partake in the esti.

French dispositions of their officers. The artillery in parti-
cular, which was the regiment in garrison at Turin, who first
proclaimed the constitution in 1821, are animated by
a liberal spirit, and are very hostile to the Austrian
pay. The corps of carabineers (gendarmes) has been
considerably augmented. The Swiss soldiers licensed to
return from France commit the greatest excesses in the en-
virons of Geneva, in the Canton de Vaud, and in that part of
Savoy which approaches that Canton. They reckon twenty-
two robberies and assassinations which have been committed
by them The Savoyards behold with sorrow that the French
army is not placed upon a war footing. All the Piedmon-
tese officers iu garrison in their country speak openly of a
coalition against France, and that an invasion is projected
for the approaching spring."—Le Globe.

The just scorn of a people against a dynasty who arrived
amongst us from emigration, followed by the enemies of
France, filled all minds with serious inquietude for the fu-
ture. We listened, without belief, to hypocritical protes-
tations in favour of public liberty, which facts always be-
lied. We saw a counter-revolution surround the throne
with a cortege of courtiers, devotees of ambition, intriguers
of all sorts, priests greedy of power, all in a state perma-
nently to conspire against the honour of the nation and its
liberties. What confidence could be expected from such an
order of things ? The people could not reckon upon the secu-
rity of promises,nor upon the faith of oaths.Theyperceived with
pain,under constitutional forms, the progressive march of ab-
solutism ; they were convinced that the faction would
hazard all rather than renounce their projects, and the idea
of a definitive struggle became familiar to them. This con-
stant thought, which reigned in society, caused discussion
and eventually inspired that firmness, that exaltation which
showed itself under all forms, and gave to them a language
proper to hold their opinions kept in a state of effervescence,
and to arm them against a traitorous and corrupt power.—
This time no more exists ; probity, honour, and virtue sit
upon the throne. The Government is composed of
men whose patriotism cannot be doubted. The con-
spirers against liberty will no longer find sympathy ;
organized, improved, enlightened, our citizens will
fly from their ranks and rally round the Throne—no de-
ception will be found there, good intentions daily show
themselves, for all personal interests aro satisfied and the
legitimate wishes of the Nation granted. In such a junc-
ture what should be the tone of the independent Journals ?
—That of well-wishing councillors which should
roint out to power errors which it may commit,
encourage it in the way of improvement, and render more
easy the troublesome task of administration ;
to surround the King, elected by the nation, and to inspire
veneration and love for him who breathes only for our happi-
ness. The periodical press accomplished a great duty
in preparing the fall of a dynasty inimical to liberty; it has
another no less important to fulfil, it is to encourage, by
all means, the consolidation of a reign which protects all our
rights."—Le Constitutionnel..

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

From the Messages. des Chambres of yesterday.
It was reported yesterday evening in our circles, that
although the Congress of Brusselle had taken the resolution
to expel for ever the family of Nassau from the throne of
Belgium, that a son of the Prince of Orange was to be
named as King of Belgium, under the Regency of Count
Merode, nephew to Gen. Lafayette.
Rogier, the Belgian Deputy, it is said, has left Paris this
morning, without having obtained an audience of the King.
The Animal of the Two Sicilies, of the 22d Nov. states,
