This forenoon we received the Monitettr and Galig-
Rania Messenger of Saturday and the Eloile of Sunday
by Express; the French Papers of Thursday and Friday
having previously been received. They are principally
filled with accounts of the death of the KING, and the
reception given to various bodies by his successor
CHARLES X. Some of their eulogies on the late KING,
are excessively extrdvagant, if not even profane. M. de
CHATEAUBRIAND, who writes currente calarno, has pub-
lished a pamphlet on the subject, which, to say the least
of it, is in bad taste It lauds the late KING to the skies,
and offers the earliest and the strongest incense to his

successor. Speaking of CHARLES X. the Es-Minister

says," Your eyes resia ith complacency and love on that
Prince who preserves in the maturity of age the beauty
and elegance of youth." An allusion to Louts XVI. is
more censurable, for the Ex-Minister has the impiety to
assert, that at his death " there was the same darkness
as covered Jerusalem at the Crucifixion."

These papers give numerous details of the last mo.
ments of the KING, and the state of public feeling. All
the bells of the capital were tolled between five and six
on Thursday morning, to announce the decease of his
Macrame. A great crowd soon assembled about the
Palace. At ten o'clock the public were admitted to
see his MAJESTY lying in state, by twelve at a time.
Upwards of 50,000 persons availed themselves of the
permission.
When the Ministers waited upon his present Majesty
CHARLES X. to receive his orders, the KING said to
them—" Ct'ntinue your services—my first moments
have been devoted to my eel; afterwards, I shall
give myself up entirely to my duties."
On Friday, the DAUPHIN, DAUPHINSSS, and Duchess
of BERRY, paid their respects to the KING, as did the
Ministers, the Corps Diplomatique, the Members of the
Court of Cassation. the Staff of the National Guard, a
deputation of the Officers of the Hotel 'Loyal des Inva-
lided, the Chancellor and Peers of France, the Marshals
of France, the Municipal Corps of Paris, as well as
several other public bodies.
The Etoik says, the KING will preside at a Council
of Ministers twice a-week.

We now submit to our readers this sort of improvisa-

combined with the sever e loss France has sustained, and

YROSI TILE MONITEUR OF SATURDAY.
ST. CLOUD. SEPTEMBER 17.

This forenoon before Mass, the Ambassadors and
Foreign Ministers paid their respects to the King and
Royal Family, on the occasion of the death of his Ma-
jesty Louis XVIII. and the accession of Charles X. to the
Throne of France.
His Excellency the Apostolic Nuncio, from his Holi-
ness, addressed the King in the following terms, in the
name of the Diplomatic Body.
44 SIRICIL is in the silence of grief that the Diplo-
matic Body, the faithful interpreters of their Masters,
present themselv.es before your Majesty. Never was a
King more beloved, never has a King been more re-
gretted, nor was there obe more worthy of regret. Great
in misfortune, indulgent in prosperity, Louis XVIII.
has effected the happiness of his people, and by his en-
lightened wisdom has gained the confidence and admi-
ration of Europe.
" In this day of affliction and mourning, what brings
consolation to our minds is, to see the crown of St. Louis
placed on the head of a Prince who is distinguished by
his own glories, and by a happy union of every virtue.
Yes, She, religion will find in Charles X. a firm support,
the Sovereign Pontiff a worthy sun of the church, France
a beloved father, and the Sovereigns of Europe the friend
and guarantee of peace, and that salutary union which
strengthens monarchies, and assures prosperity to the
people.
" Deign, Sire, to accept the homage and prayers of
the Diplomatic Body for the long ation and happi-
ness of a reign which commences under auspices the
most favourable."

The King replied---
" NloNsmun LE NUNCIO My heart is too much
torn for nte to be able to express the sentiments with

which lam filled. I thank you for those which you
have expressed in the name of the Diplomatic Body .-I
have but one ambition, Gentlemen ; I pray Goy it may
be fulfilled, and I hope it will be granted to me ; it is
to continue that which my virtuous brother has so well
accomplished—that my reign may be but a continua•
tion of his, as well for the good of France, as for the
peace and union of all Europe. Such is my wish ; it is
my prayer to Heaven, and shall be the study of my
whole life."

The Marshals of France were admitted to pay their
respects to the KING. Marshal the Duke of CORNEG LI.
AN o spoke their sentiments..

ANSWER OF TIIE KING.

gs GENTLIMIEN,.—I shall never forget the services
which you have rendeted to the King and Trance ; and
on all occasions I shall be happy to give you proofs of
my confidence and attachment."
The Marshals were so elated, that they cried five'
le Roi.
