GERMAN PAPERS.

The following are extracts from the German papers, which arrived
last night
CONSTANTINOPLE, Avo. 26.—A French cutter of the division of
Admiral de Rieny arrived here on the 20th with despatches for Count
Guilleminot. It carried the tricoloured flag, and cut anchor, close to
another French vessel, which immediately struck the white flag. This
sight caused mach bustle in the harbour. Every body said that some.
thing extraordinary must have happened in France. Several members
of the diplomatic body hastened to the palace of the French Lega.
tion to make inquiries, and to learn the reason of the change of the
flag. Count Guilleminot, however, bad not yet received his de.
:patches. Two hours afterwards a French officer, accompanied
hq some marines, came on shore, and inquired for the hotel of
the French Legation. lie wore the tricoloured cockade in his hat, and
the marines wore tri-coloured ribands. It was now evident that there
had been a change in France, and though the officer avoided all convey.
sation with the inhabitants of Peru, who flocked about him. and en.
joined his men to observe strict silence, it was soon known that the fin.
may of the Bourbons had been dethroned, and the Duke of Orleans in.
vested with the functions of Lieutenant-General. In the evening the
white flag and the arms were taken down from the house of the French
Ambassador. Up to this moment no other arms have been put up in
their lOW, but all the members of the Legation and the servants wear
the trf.colouted cockade, which is a proof that the Ambassador respects
the orders which have been sent to him. All the French ships
in our harbour have now hoisted the new flag, and the French
of all claws residing here wear the tricoloured cockade. Most
of the French merchants are rejoiced at the news of the
late events in that Lotintry. The Turks do not rightly know what has
happened, and have no conception of the importance of the event. They
wonder that so much - '- -

the band, their attention is excited in a high degree by the affairs
of the Porte in Albania, which within these few weeks have taken a
favourable turn ; the Grand Vi=ler having found means to destroy the
chiefs of the insurgents, though in a very disbonotuable manner. (Here

Scutari has submitted, and the troubles in Asia are likewise nearly
quelled. The most favourable accounts are received from Egypt.—
The Viceroy exerts himself to retain the favour of the sultan, and sends
coadderable subsidies.

POST.—TheiGovernor and;Company of the Bank of England have
been made the subject of much misplaced raillery, because they will not
censent to open their books, and exhibit their most private transactions
to the gaping multitude. If a merchant were to be exposed to a law
of publicity of this kind, and under the necessity of expounding his
dealings and proclaiming his intentions at the market cross, what would
be the value of his profits at the end of the year ? Be would be fore.
stalled in hisipurchases,`Anticipated inihis sales, crossed and3discomfited
in all his movements by his enemies, and fairly beaten in the:race bylhis
rivals in trade. And in what respect does the Chartered Company
of the Bank of England differ in the matter of profit and loss, and
their mode of conducting business, from a merchant trading upon his
individual account ? The members of the Company arc associated for
their own benefit. We arc willing to grant they have great power,
and that they might therefore exercise a very pernicious influence over
society. But that they will not make such an use of their power we
have this very ample security, viz. that they could not injure the public
without injuring themselves; and until human nature shall be constructed
upon different principles than experience has shewn it to be, we shall
continue to believe that identity of interest is as powerful a guarantee
in such cases as any system of vigilant supervision that ingenuity can
devise. A Morning Contemporary is exceeding wroth with the Go-
vernor and his Council of twenty.four, for making a secret of matters,
which, upon the admission of the former functionary, are of a nature to
affect the political relations of society. A better reason could scarcely
be given, one would think, for not divulging an intended operation, than
its magnitude and extensive importance on the interests of the commu-
nity—taking into account the per contra propensity of hostile specula.
tors to contravene all the known movements of their rivals. If there be
an evil in the non-publicity of the affairs of the Bank, it is we essential
to the management of their business ; and much better that the public
interests should suffer the minimum of inconvenience resulting from the
practice, than the enormous injury which must follow the opening of so
large and fertile a field to the scheming and jobbing capitalists of the
Stock Exchange.

Poss.—The Radical Retortners'of the Metropolis, with Mr. Hunt
at their head, are, we perceive, to hold a Meeting, on Monday, oo Ken'
nington Common, for the purpose of voting an address of congratula-
tion to the working classes of Paris, on their conduct in the late Re-
volution. We do not intend to flatter the persons who intend totamem.
ble at Kennington on Monday; but justice to them and to others re-
quires us to say, that they will constitute by far the most respectable
meeting, inasmuch as it will be by far the most sincere, rational, and
consistent that will have been held in this country for the same purpore.
They will be revolutionists congratulating revolutionists—they will
be labouring men, deluded and misguided, showering their ap.
plause upon what was unquestionably the achievement of labouring
men, deluded and misguided like themselves. Of all the parties in
Prance who bad any hand in the Revolution, the merit of disinterested.
ness and self.devotion can he safely ascribed only to the working people;
for the National Guards did not appear until the victory was complete,
and they then appeared, not to advance the Revolution, but to retard its
progress to protect property rather than liberty—for the preservation,
not of their Charter, but of their proper goods and chattels. The
Journalists who prepared the minds of the people tot insurrection
have obtained their anticipated reward in the advantages of place and
power. The same observation applies to those members of the Cham.
ber of Deputies and their connections who were most active and zealous
in promoting the Revolution.
