EDICT, BY MARIA LOUISA &c.
According to the reports which have been made to us relatively to the
pretended Civic Congress (Coucenao), and to various individuals who,
though invested by us with public functions, forgetting their duties to
their sovereign, conducted themselves as some of the most violent ene-
mies of she legitimate Government during the 28 days of rebellion and
anarchy yet desiring, as far as possible, to use clemency,
We have decreed, and decree—

FUNERAL ORATION, BY GENERAL LAFAYETTE.
AT TR!' GRAVE OF
LABBEY DE POISIPIERES.

In approaching this tomb, to add some words to the touching and
patriotic discourse which you have just listened to, my dear Fellow.
Citizens, I claim the rights of an ancient frient'Aip, and thc conscious-
ness of a long sympsthy of principles and sentiuteils with the respec-
table veteran of liberty, whose toss we this day deplore. You have
been told how, in his military career, he was one of the most enlightened
officers—one f the best citizens of a corps justly renowned by its in.
telligence and its patriotism. He embraced with devotion our Revo.
lotion of 1789 ; and when afterwards, not by it, but in its name, he
had to suffer the persecutions of terrorism, never did he commit the
blasphemy of confounding liberty with anarchy, and crime, or of sup.
posing that violence was necessary to maintain national cothuslasin,
which at the first dangers, had caused Frenchmen to run to the defence
of the country. It is thus, that at a later period, he did not. find in any
property, nor even in glory, a sufficient compensation against the usur-
pations of despotism, and the ba.seness of servitude. And when a
restoration was imposed upon us by foreign bayonets, you have seen
him defend the cause of liberty, of reason, and the interests of the
people, with that impassioned zeal—that inflexible perseverance,
—which egotism, pusillanimity, and suppleness could not corn.
prebend; hut which was often crowned with success, and which
posterity will be always pleased to recognize. You know, also,
with what happiness he hailed, and concerned himself In onr
glorious revolution of July 1830; hut it is to those of us, who
hive seen him upon the bed of death, thet it belongs to any, with
what anxiety he anticipated the consequences of o revolution made by
the people--by the people alone—and consecrated by the blood of six
thousand patriots. You have heard how, to the severity of his princi-
ples, and to his hatred of abuses, to that austerity worthy of the Caters
of ancient history, he joined, in his private life, all the mildness, all
the sensibility of an excellent friend, of the most tender father ; and it
is sweet for me to add, with what solemnity, in his last adieu, he left
me the inheritance, moat cordially accepted, of his paternal affection
for the grand-son of which be was proud • and now, my dear fellow
citizens, let us unite to hid a last and tender adieu to he worthy object
of our veneration and our regrets.

STAR.

CITY. ONE O'CLOCK.
This being paying and receiving day in the Stock Ex-
change for the balances of accounts, business is doing in
Consols, which left off yesterday at 83i fi for the account,
and opened at 83a ; at present they are 83fi and 83 for
money. We do not hear of any defaulters; these cannot
be ascertained until the various checks are cleared.

In the Foreign Market nothing doing u yet.
CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.
--

Up to the present time there is very little doing in the
funds. The late great failure in the House has damped the
speculations; and the Bulls, who of late have been severely
hot, and payed large sums of money to the Bears, have but
little chance, at present, to retrieve their losses ; as they
Lave made a precipitate retreat, and carried all off with them.
We do not hear of any more failures as yet. Consols
may be quoted 8:1+ g for the Account, and 83i to 84 for
Money, both Stock and Money being very scarce in the
Nlarket.

In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing.
.The Gazette d'Augsbourg announces, by accounts from
Vienna, that the position of the Grand Visir was not so
unfavourable as represented. On the contrary, that be had
obtained some successes over the insurgents.

A great number of Frenchmen are proceeding to Algiers
by Toulon, in order to settle in that country, where they
can easily procure land at a rent of 2fr. 50c. per acre.
The election for a Coroner for the county of Gloucester
commenced on Monday last. Colonel Berkeley, in pro-
posing one of the candidates (a Mr. Marklove) observed,
I hope that neither I, nor any of you, will ever require
tits services."

A magnificent scheme is at this moment in operation in
Prance, to afford the means of useful and improving reading
to the whole body of the working population in France,
by placing a public library in every one of the 40,000
communes (or parishes) into which the kingdom is divided.
fhe scheme pr anises to be successful • it is provided by
voluntary subscriptions, and the hooks are to consist of the
best elementary works on the arts, sciences, and literature,
Li,tory, biography, poetry, and other subjects, selected by a
ulli:Littee in Paris.
