from a similar mission. The English frigate the Madagascar is put to
sea again on the 23d, to return to Malta.

"THE POPULAR. SOCIETIES OF PARIS.
"These societies are called popular, because they have adopted for
the basis of their political discussions the principle of the sovereignty of
the people—because their doctrines in legislation, and political economy,
have for their object to defend the interest of the people against the pri-
vileges and the oppressions of every kind of aristocracy.
" Such has been the sprit of the motions and discussions. But
hitherto, at least, these societies have had nothing popular either in
their composition or their audience. The members are, for the most
part, young men, burning with an inextinguishable desire for social im-
provements—ambitious, certainly, but at least thoroughly convinced of
the soundness of their doctrines. This conscientious enthusiam renders
them much more intolerant to their adversaries, and, if you will, more
dangerous than if they were, as was first supposed, mere mischief.
makers and intriguers. As for the hearers, they are idle or curious per.
sons, who go there as they would to a play ; no workmen are yet seen
there.

The following are the popular societies at present organised In
Paris :

" lst. The Lodge of the Weeds of Truth.—A great numbeeof an-
dent Carbonari are members of it. The subaltern officer Bolles be.
longed to it. This lodge proposed the funeral ceremony in honour of
the four interesting victims of the plot at La Rochelle. This lodge
hardly retains a shadow of masonic forms. Many visitees are admitted
it at every sitting. Questions of general and special politics are discussed
it.

" Sd. The Society Aide-loi le clef Caidera.--It is known all over
Prance, and by its connexions with the electoral committee in all the
departments, it may be said to have mode the late elections. It is more
moderate than the other societies.

" 9d. The Central Constitutional Society, founded by Protestants:
its politics are a mixture of republicanism and mysticism.
" 4th. The Society of the Three Days, to be a member of which it
is necessary to have been an actor and combatant on the 27th, 28th, and
29th of July.
" 6th. The St. Simonlan Society, an economical and religious sect,
which preaches a kingdom of this world to the poor, to consist in the
abolition of the principle of inheritance, and the distribution of property,
dignities, and employments, according to the capacity of every one...
This republic will be governed by a Pope and his wife; the former im-
bued with the spirit of love and of labour,—the latter endowed with the
expansive and prophetic spirit.
" etb. The Society of the Friends of the People. This is the most
numerous, the most ardent, and the most powerful, which has the
greatest number of auditors at its sitting, and that which excites the
meal alarm, by the rigour of its doctrines, and by the personal con.
nectiens of its principal members with several men in place.
" This society has its journal, in which the class of citizens is pointed
out to the jealousy of the wetting classes as a coalition of privileged
wsons, and a new form of feudal aristocracy. Three other societies
have each their journals. All these societies desire-Ist, the solemn
acknowledgment of the principles of the sovereignty of the people; 2d,
the dissolution of the Chambers; 3d, the dismbud of the present Mi.
nbtry ; 4th, the abolition of the qualifications required to be an elector
or a deputy; 6th, a national convocation commissioned to make a new
constitution ; tith, a kind of appeal to the people to confer upon Louis
Philip the royal dignity, by virtue of the sovereignty of the people."--
[The Mentujer then proceeds to show, at great length, the danger of
these societies, and the necessity of putting them down according to the
articles of the code, which forbid mote than 29 persons to form a perio-
dical association, without permission from the Government.]
