PARIS, AUGUST 24.

ROYAL ORDONNANCE. •
Lewis b;• the Grace of Gon, King of Frarce and Navarre, ice.
In publishing our Constitutional Charter, we ob-
served a that the wish neale)t our heart was, that all
Fr's:shwa should live as brothers, and that no bitter
recollections should disturb the security which ought
to follow upon such a solemn act."
This declaration, and the dispositions of theConsti-

tional Charter, call all Frenchmen equally to the en-

joyment of civil and military rights. Henceforward
the inset iptions on the lists of emigrants were effaced,

and no distinctions cm be admitted in the eye of the
law, between Frenchmen, who groaned under the
Usurper in our absence, in France, and those who
consoled us while residing abroad. Nevertheless and
io contemplation of the law which we intend to pre-
sent to the two Chambers upon the restitution of the
goods not sold, we have judged it necessary to pro-
nounce positively this abolition, in order that there
may remain no doubt in the tribunals or administra-
tive bodies as to the condition of any of our subjects,
sind to reserve especially the rights of thirds (les droits
des tiers), which in no case must be compromised.
For these causes, we have ordained—
Art. I. All the Inscriptions on the Lists of Emigrants, and
still existing, for want of, being erased, or for a failure of the
execution of the conditions imposed" by the Senatus Consultum
of the 6th Aortal, au I. or by whatever other title, are and
shall be abolished from the date of the Constitutional Charter.
Art. 2. In consequence, all Frenchmen insetibed on the said
Lists, on whatever pretext, may exercise all the political rights
which this character guarantees, and enjoy the civil rights at-
tached to the quality of Citizen under the express reserve of the
rights asquired to the thirds, and without prejudice to them.
Oar Ordonnance concludes with the usual order for making
it public.) (Signed) LOUIS.

Count Rumford, Member of the French Institute,
and of the Royal Society of London, died in the night
between Sunday and Monday, at his country-seat at
Auteuil, in cohsequence of a nervous fever. This ce-
lcbrat;:,4. man deLlicated his whole life to the study of
tilt:, sciences, and always twthe interests of humanity.

of his age. His remains were interred yesterday
inoriing ;:t Auteuil
The following is the discourse sthich was yesterday
4::.:4e:sed to the-Pupds of the aliferent Lyceums of
,Faris, by the Grand blaster t f the University ( Fou-
-1 4 f,:•- j), at the auquAl distribution of prizes:
" Y,ong Frenchmen—You behold again what your
fat' ers tv ; you respect what was the object of the.,
ltoalage. Y...ur 'five and they love : the present and
t;e is:bt. are no longer at variance. Fiance has re-
sumed the nat ur,l coarse id her destinies.
» Fee the lam 15 yea rs revolutions have succccdeu

revolutions. It was wished to Al eve, Wag

k iraswished to renew every thing. The invincible
force of things has restored every thing to its old state.
el When that 'recent and happy change terminated
all the ot*, the University had no need of changing
its spirit and opinions. It is the friend of old tradi-
tionary usages ; it must bless their. return. It is happy
in assisting at that triumph of time and recollections.
Before its re.establishment, all plans of education
had been tried. go many fruitless efforts bad not ex-
hausted the mania of systems. It is always amidst the:
noise of the fall of empires, that wild imaginations are
employed in regenerating the world. It is upon ruins
and tombs that they proclaim a new art of instructing
and governiqg men. The course of ages has seen more
'than once the renewal of this disease of the human
mind, which ferments societies by I know not what
dreams of perfection, at the very moment of their

decline.

" The Univcr3ity has not delivered npP.4teation
to the danger of false thedries. It proceed in the old
paths, which are the safest; it res:;reed that children
should be taught wbzz their ancestors had been taught.
Confined within its modest functions, it had an
right to judge of political acts ; but the true notions
of right and wrong were deposited in those immortal
works of which it interpreted the maxims. When the
French character and sentiments were in danger of
being altered more and more by a foreign mixture, it
caused those authors to be read who recal them with
the greatest grace and energy. The authoi of Tele-
machus and Massillon eloquently preached what
could not otherwise have been uttered bake the ge-
nius of conquests, impatient to destroy every thing.
nay even itself, in the excess of its own ambition. By
thus re-establishing its old literary doctrines, it suffi-
ciently spewed, not without some danger to itself, its
predilection for its old political doctrines.
" It takes credit to itself for the management which
it thought it necessary to adopt for the interests of
the rising generation ; and without insulting what has
just appeared, it receives with enthusiasm what has
been restored to us.

And how much easier becomes now the task of
inspiring morals and virtues,—it will point to them
upon the throne. This blessing is common to us with
All Frenchmen. There are others less important,
doubtless, but also of some interest, and arida are
peculiar to us.'
When an empire is extended beyond the limits
assigned to it by nature, it receives into its bosom
new masses of population, which bring to it other
languages and other manners. The spirit which
founded, the spirit which preserved it, takes an un
natural direction, and is weakened ; for patriotic feel.
ing never can strongly prevail but is a country wisely
circumscribed, where all the habits correspond. The
influence of foreign idioms insensibly corrupts the
purity of our native tongue; taste, learning, and the
arts, are threatened with approaching barbarism.
a Those well-founded alarms are dissipated. Let-
ters are about to reflcurish under a king who loves
them, and who, in his moments of relaxation, adorned
his mind with all that they possess of amiable and
elevated.

No longer with a low voice, but loudly, shall
we henceforth invoke, in these annual solemnities, the,
fine age of Louis XIV. that age of our literary
glory. Until the statues of that great Prince are re-
erected in our public places, let us rekindle the in.
cencc which he formerly received in the sanctuary
where we assemble May his glorious shade again
appear amongst us,.escorted by those of the great
men from whom his name and his reign can never
be separated The aspect of this spot could never
afflict him. The misfortunes of his royal raceare
avenged. His descendant bas re-enteted into
possession of his inheritance.
,4 Young Frenchmen, you partake of oar emotions
and our joy ! No longer will you be exposed like
1 us to the hazardous experiments of an unknown Go-
vernment. The legitimate Government has arisen ;
it is, in some respect, paternal authority which re.
sumes its rights. Ask our annals, you will see there
the glory and the happiness of France increasing from
age to age under the wise administration of this an-
cient dynasty. The King whom we have recounted,
is of that glorious blood so dear to your fathers; of
that blood wholly French, in which heroism mixes
with goodness. That King whose soul and whose
mind have been enlarged in the school of adversity,
will render himself beloved like the chief of his holm,
having been, like him, persecuted by fortune. His
return is a blessing to Europe, as well as to France.
A Bourbon alone could give peace ; and peace re-
turns with him. Rejoice, then, 0 you whom war
mowed dowed almost in the threshold of life; peace
brings back with it lengthened prospects for your
youth, and ease to the hearts of your mothers ! It
secures, in fine, to your labours that developementl
and those fruits which will one day form the riches of
your riper age, and the ornament of the country."
CORFU, AUGUST 3.

Before their departure, the French and English
Officers fraternized, and had several grand dinners
together. But since the departure of the French
troops, tranquillity has ceased to reign. The Eng-
lish cannot fail to admire all the works executed by the
French for the defence of our city : it was truly im-
pregnable. Much was also done towards its embel-
lishment. Agriculture has made great progress in
-he island. The environs were studded with beauti-
.;ll curoniodion.. hoses. Land. vlid.

ROMEi AUGUST 9. .
Oa the 6th instant his Holiness, notwithstanding
the bad state of his health, called around him the
Cardinals and the Chief Prelate, who were at Rome.
The meeting ;acted six hoursi -14 Tex: day CoUrieiv
were dispatched to Vienna, IP tdandon, and to St.
Petersburgh. A solemn mission will be seat to the
Russian Capital.
For several days pasqainades have been, affixed to
the walls against the Jesuits, the restoration of whose
Order is very unpopular.

VENICE, AUGUST 9.
The state in which we are is the most afflicting in
the world. If we have not the good fortune to see
our ancient Government restored, it would be at
least desirable to know to whom we are to belong.—
The English and Austrian Commissioners govern
here; and as they do not understand any thing of
the orders which they give, the greatest inconveni-
ences arise from-this conflict of powers. This con-
fusion ha; come to such a pitch, that within these
few days the English Commissaries have refused to
allow' any national vessels to leave the ports of the
ancient Venetian States. Enormous losses will result
to our Merchants. Certainly we were very far from
thinking that this would be the result of the peace.—
The example of the Genoese, who have been restored
to their ancient Government, has made us conceive
the same hopes, since the Allies, when they entered
this place, declared that they would restore all to the
ancient footing.
We are assured that the Patricians. Albripri, Con-
tarsal, and Pepoli, have obtained no success in their
dalltands on this subject, when they waited upon the
several Allied Soveteigns to whom they were deputed.
