PROM THZ RTOILZ, DAVID PARIS, APRIL 21.
PARIS, Aria SO.
Thanks to the precautiqn taken by the Authorities,
yesterday evening saw the termination of the popular
movement which, the day before yesterday, the Liberal
faction had encouraged (active) in some quarters of the
capital. The armed force was, however, obliged, in
;the streets of St. Denis and Pollatins, to check some
stragglers of the faction, who whiled again to force the
peackable shopkeepers to illuminate their houses spon-
taneously, and who, in consequence, made ose of the
accustomed argument—throwing stones at the houses
of those who were backward, and at the armed force ;
but this disorder was of short durrtion.

As for that on the preceding evening, as it is fed by
all the elements hostile to the actual order of things, and •
favoured by ignorance and curiosity, the consequences
of it were serious, and the judicial investigation which
has commenced will probably furnish proofs. Meantime
above 15 houses are counted, in the street of St. -Denis
alone, the windows of which were broken. It may be
judged from this how spontaneous the illumination was, i
which the Journals of the faction represent as general,.
and how many lamps and candle ends owed their exhi-
bition to fear alone.—This is what the Ikon/let des De-1
bek eAlls a public fete. which has given occasion to fewer
fatal scenes than those organised by the police. •
This Journal, contrary to its custom,sulfers a saint/
to escape it, and says that the word a' Jesuits" occurred
in all the conversations that were heard in the streets.
They did not therefore cry only 44 rive k Roi r but
said " Down with the Jesuits I" Now it is well known
what the faction,•.and especially the ignorant people,
understand by the word Jesuits; it is notorious that
they confound under this denomination all those who
wear the ecclesiastical habit, with those who love reli.
gion and practise it. But they did not 'cry only " Down
with the Jesuits I" but they also vociferated " A bas la
Culotteel has tEplise. 4 bas le Religion I" and the Gen-
tlemen of the Jotensal des Delsats doubtless heard these
expressions also. How did they dare. after this, to
write the following phrase:—" We were struck with
the remark that no priests were seen in the streets r-
We do not know whether this- is also a naiveii, but

might not some readers find in it an unhappy resem-
blance to the cold ironies of those writers who prepared
.the horrible events of the Revolution ? Let the Gen-
tlemen of the De4ats take care that the/ have not made
themselves the Girondists of the faction; they will be
overborne sooner than they expected; the evening of
[the day before yesterday may have given them some
idea of it; for they eagerly recommend to their young
adepts a calmness, which the latter will, perhaps," not
find to their taste. This evening, however, has doubt•
less afforded salutary warning to others as well as to
them, and France will know all the wishes which are'
expressed in a popular movement, when it is organised
by certain pretended organs of public opinion.

OF 71.1 DAY.

Yesterd4y a number of the pupils of the Schools of
Law and Medicine paraded the streets with fan and
tittered cries of Vies le ital. Their intention was to
,have presented Uwasselves at the Tuilleries, to express,
'is the bearing of his Majesty, the public joy on the re-
-441 of the Law of the Press; but being prevented en.
wring the garden, they collected under the window of
the Palace, towards the Pont Royal, and reiterated
their acclamations. They then proceeded to the Rue

de Tournon, and at the moment when they were about
to separate, a posse of gendarmes came-up. and pursded
the pupils, who took gauge in the houses, many win.
,dpwsot which were broken by the violesice of the shock.
A spectator received a sabre wound on the Le4d,and seve•
ral persons were bus t by the capering of the hones.

MADRID, Araris.
it is reported that a fresh attempt has been made by
500 Carlists against Tortos4; and that the Bishop, the
'celebrated Don Michael Satz, has disappeared.
General Sarstield, oo his pan, has sent an express,
annoancing the discovery of a new plot for the deser.

tion of a regiment. The same express brings the news
of the army-chests being completely exhausted, and thpt
it would be very dangerous to leave the troops w ithoat
pay for a.fonnight. All the money that could be col-
lected has, therefore, been sent off to General Sarsfield ;
but the Monks, finding that the Government does not
make the army pass into Portugal, have drawn in their
purse-strings.
A tact, which anywhere else would be insignificant,
strongly engages the public attention. The King has
determined that the Court Shall spend the holy week at
Madrid, and invitations have been sent to all the gran.
dess whits are absent from the Court in consequence of
political opinions, and to take part in the processions in
which the King, the Queen, and all the Royal Family
artrto appear. Though this invitation is not obligatory,
it h not an affair of no coosequente.
PARIS, Arsu no.
What has passed around us within a few days, is at
once a carious display and a great lesson. Will those
Stsgsmift who thatight themselves indispensable for .
the illaMOment.of affairs, comprehend it P ill doubt
k very me 4. It.eppears as they ware blind to
itrikesull other;eyesz-at least they havelke appointee
of seeing nothing or comprehending nothing; The
meaning of all this, however, is very clear, and it doe;
not require to be explained to any person except to those
to whom it is addressed. What is most astonishing,
after the unpopularity of the present Ministers, is,that
the nation is forming to itself ver y sensible constitutional
manners. It does not borrow them—it does not go
abroad to seek and imitate them—they have their root
in the character of the nation : they belong. to the soil,
but they take the impression of our new elastication:,
and adapt themselves to our present situation. We 6:4
as the foundation, the characteristics of Old France;
that France so good, so easily governed, so ready to go
as the Governs ent wishes, so prompt to forget, or parr
don its'faults. But we also find New France: more
enlightened, more fortunate, or more mixed up with
the general good—strong by the social state which she
has conquered by the Revolution, sod satisfied with
that state; favourable to industry and all undertakings,
as to all merit; finally, that France which possesses fun-
damental institutions solemnly sseorn to by two Kings,
and watch does not believe that it is possible, for any
length of time, t. escape, alter, or Violate the execution
of diem, but which is convinced of the impossibility of
' governing otherwi.e than by the representative system.
With what tranquil joy the immense population of
this capital have shewn their opinions.. See how
they have triumphed with decency—with dignity—
and even good taste; and how they have inflicted,
with mildness, the only punishment which Ministerial
'responsibility has hitherto incurred. We must not judge
..of this.matterby the language of some drunken people,
any more than we must judge of the Press by some
libels. A smell number of persons, either hired, or—
not understanding liberty) for they did not know how to
respect it—is no evidence against the mass of the citi-
zens; hut let us admire the order which prevailed in
the midst of this remarkable ontbursting of enthusiasm.
In England, under similar circumstances, the people
amuse themselves in breaking the furniture of the Mi-
nisters, and sometimes in demolishing their houses.—
This is a sort of revenge which does not enter into the
thoughts even of a single Frenchman ; the people go and
' sing a couplet or two under the windows of the man
whom they like the least. The armed force is ridicu-

lously opposed to them, and there the matter ends.—
But in the midst of these populous streets, where the
public sentiments shew themselves in such different
manners, and sometimes. so pleasantly, the gendarmes
did not find the least disorder to repress. This time
the police did not prosnke any. They were able, with
some exceptions, to walk about tranquilly in the midst
of the crowd around then); they even took an interest
in the brilliant and gay spectacle which was before
them; for after all, the gendarmes form a part of the
population of Paris, and are always in contact with its
sentiments and affections.' Wbo, then,, will shut their
eyes to the brilliint light which the public opinion has
'lust cast on obscure calumniitors? Only Ministers as
tenacious as -those who at present bold office, are capable
of that. . •

Srartsrics.—One of the Journals states, from the
Alnwncck Royale of 1827, that there are 175 Function-
aries in the Chamber of Deputies, who are paid and re-
movable at pleasure, and 162 not paid, and not re.
movable. 'This is remarkable enough, and makes es
acquainted with the reasons which were opposed to the
adoption of the proposition of M. Boucher, and who
' caused its rejection. It must not be forgotten, that
upon the system avowed by M. de Corbiere, at the Tri-
bune, every Functionary, being a Deputy, must vote for
the Ministry, on pain of dismissal. We believe that it
would be consistent with the Chamber to put an end to
such n state of things. which, if it does not compromise
its independence, makes it doubted which is the greatest
iwisfoltune possible for an elective power.
NOMINATION OF M. Roux COLLARD TO TER
ACADEMIE FRANCAIER....II/11211 happy to announce
the nomination-of M. Royer Collard to the Academie
Frannie, as successor .to A& La Place. This hoooura-
ble Oafgallar of public liberty, who unites to the virtues
of the citizen the profound knowledge of the philoso-
pher, and the superb eloquence of a Statesman, has
been nnanimdusly appointed ; 26 Members, among
wheat was Count de &goer, hardly restored to health,
were present. This choice is a piece of news which
will be agreeable to all the friends of literature, and to
all those citizens who are devoted to liberty, It is an-,
other protest against that brutal vandalism which pro-
liaised to annihilasethe press. and to stop the progress-
of the human mind. It was the Academie .which
gave thesignal of a noble and courageous opposition to
an unheard of system of barbarism ; and the appoint-
thent of M. Itoyard Collard is a striking manifestation
of public opinion.

HONOURABLZ CONDUCT 01 THE FRENCH YOUTH.--•A
multitude of youog men, of all conditions, among
awing wh,m were a number of Students of Law and
' Medicine, proceeded yesterday morning in the greatest
order, crying rive le Roil rive la Liberec dela Prase!

" In tie first piece, it is said that Dr. Abrantes it the brarerof an
Inmeriall Decree, whereby the Chambers are constituted permanent •
until certain laws regulating the execution of the Charter, whicbtke

" 114 has also brought with him a Proclamation, in which ids
' Majesty declares that be will return to Lisbon in June. These are
the mess important reports, to which the arrival of Dr. Ahem:tea
has even birth. I can add to them, that yesterday the Dr. told a
friend of his, who Is arm my friend, that be was very well planed
with bb voyage, and that the friends of the Charter—that she Pat*

" On the departure of Dr. Abrantes from Rib de Janeiro. a ship
of the line and two frigates had received orders to take it; provi•
sions for three months. This seems, to give some corroboration to
the report of the Emperor's voyage."

PARIS, Arm. 19.
The Project of the Law relative to the Press is with.
drawn. Let us acknowledge, in'this act of beneficence,
a new gift from the Royal band, which relieved as
'from the Censorship ; but let us not confound, in our
gratitude, the magnanimous act of the King with the
involuntary act which necessity has forced from the
Ministry. In the utter impossibility of explaining. she
withdrawal of the law, except as a spontaneous effect
of the Royal will, one would in vain seek in it the
commencement of a new system. Is it supposed that
the President of the Coat.cil, as the imitator of Mr.
Canning, will pass over to the interests of commerce
and freedom, and that he intends immediately to ac-
knowledge,on the part of France, the independence of
the Spanish Colonies, and that he has farmed the designi.
of supporting and increasing our liberties? But then
he mina commence, like Mr. Canning. by obliging one
half of his colleagues to retire. But could h-; after
prosecuting oppressive laws, in 24 hours change to a
system diametrically opposite? ft is nc.t by talking
black and white in the same week that confidence cant
be inspired: yesterday against liberty, to day for it,
No; ' the Ministry is worn out—worn threadbare. It
has excited the opinion of all France against it, by pta
sewing laws as badly conceived as inopportune. It has
been deceived particularly as to the Three per Cents.
the indemnity of the Emigrants, the affair of bt. Do-
mingo, the Law concerning the Jury, which it was ne-
cessary to remould; it now attacks its own peculiar
party, by withdrawing the Law respecting the tiles%
Let us hope that the same hand which has delivered
us from the law will also deliver us from its inventors.
The spontaneous and general illisminations of yester-
day evening, the lively demonstrations of public feeling
constituted an important event which had its causes and
its effects. It is sufficient to say that it contained a
lesson to every one.

The Chamber of Appeals of Correctional Police this
day quashed the judgments of the 6th Chamber. con-
demning M. Barba, formerly a bookseller, and M. Gran.
din, a bookseller in the Patois Royal, to 500 f. fine, fur
having lent their brevets to persons not commissioned
by the Government.
The King of England seems firmly resolved to con-
solidate his work. His Royal Highness the Duke of
Clarence is appointed Lord High Admiral, and the
English Navy already congratulates itself on seeing at
its head the Heir of the Throne, as the army lately
I boasted• the comingnd of the Duke of York. Here, then,
is a new bond between the Royal Family and the first
body in England.

The retirement of Lord Melville aloe e.resdered this
possible. In that way it is a benefit. We should have
been disposed to ask, why he accompanied his col-
leagues, the known opponents of Emancipation? But
his Britannic Nejely wishes not to retain his Ministers
by force. There are still, it seems, persons who think
it possible to fill the vacant posts in a durable manner.
The King shews his confidence in that opinion hY the
appointment 'of his brother, and that confidence is
shared with him by the nation.
The principal booksellers and paper merchants met
for the purpose of celebrating, at a public dinner. the
happy event which dissipates all anxiety which the Pro-
ject of Law relating to the Press had excited. The folp
lowing toasts were unanimously drank
