From the Messager des Chambres of Tuesday. •
CHARTRRS, Nov. 14.
Bron Is a small town in the department of Ewe et Loir, where
the igoor.nce of the poorer classes is deplorable in the extreme.
About a ear ago some respectable citizens of the town resolved
to found y a
school, for mutual instruction, in the hope of diffusing
information among their poorer ccuntrymen. This enterprise, al-
though approved by all enlightened people, was regarded with an
evil ee by those who dread nothing so much as the extension of
educatyion. The Society for Elementary Ivstruction sent to the So-
ciety of Bron a teacher, formed at the primary Normal school of the
Department of the Seine, but every way worthy of confidence ;
hut the Cantonal Committee refused him the necessary authority.
The citizens of Broil then addressei themselves directly to M.
Vatismenii, who forthwith annulled the decision of the Committee
of the Canton, and the school was opened. In a few months a great
number of pupils attended the master whom the Minister of
Public Instruction had so signally redressed. Notwithstanding the
success. of the school, the young Vicar of the town manifested his
opposition to it on various occasions.
Last Sunday the young Vicar of Bron invited, in the choir, all
itearnd poor people to send their children to confession, and flied
Wednesday for the boys t fifteen children belonging to the geol.
Motu & were at the confessional chair when the Confessor arrived.
To the questions which he put, these children said they belonged
to the Ecole Mutuelle. The Vicar then got into a violent passion
with them, saying that the children belonging to that school
could not be allowed to approach the Church Sacraments, and
that the confession and communion should ever be refried them.
He concluded by sending them off in the most brutal manner, ac-
companying the action with words ill suited to his dignity. He bad
already refused catechising for the first communion those:who had
not already been at Least one year in the Ecole des Freres. One
cannot be surprised at such an outrage when one considers that
those who ought to show good example, find themselves supported
by a Ministrwho can have no hope but in the moral debasement
of Francor.‘• •

tish subjects and British property, imposed on our
Government, not merely justified, but called loudly on
it for punishing these aggressions. Had our Ministers
repressed—as they ought to have done—the first out-
rages committed by the usurper's orders, we maintain
that his power would not have lasted three months :
but so far from resenting the persecution of our fellow
countrymen, and the insults offered to our flag,did they not
manifest even worse than a silent acquiescence ? For while
the Noble Duke and the Foreign Secretary were affecting
to join the outcry against the perjured Min var., is it not
notorious that one of their colleagues—and that one a
Cabinet Minister—was detected in a correspondence
with his abettors and supporters ? Here we come to the
important fact, so completely overlooked by the Tinges :
namely, that the countenance afforded to the usurper by
the Noble Mike's Government on one side, and the in-
fluence of Spain on the other, have alone enabled him to
prolong his ill-gotten power, and prevented his ejectment
by an indignant and oppressed people.
On the other hand, while a general system of terser,
and the disarming of the inhabitants were of themselves
sufficient to prevent a rising in Portugal, what has been
the treatment experienced by the subjects of Donna
MARIA in this country? Our flagrant breach of faith,
and gross violation of inter-national laws at Terceira,
furnish a damning reply ! The doctrine of oar contour-
'rary amounts to this :—After witnessing 'with much
complacency our unjust Government bind fiend and”foot
the victims of this infernal tyrant, he exclaims—" Why
don't you strike !" Was ever mockery so palpable, or
absurdity more glaring ? That such is the situation of
the Portuguese nation and the exiled patriots at this
moment, we challenge the writer in the Times to deny.
We look forward with much impatience to the meeting
of Parliament, convinced, as we are, that all our argn.
merits will be fully confirmed by the discussion of this
great question which involves, in so many ways, the honor
of England, and the vital interests of the kingly power
in Europe.
We have received a pamphlet on the subject of " neu-
trality and non-interference," from which we could have
wished to make some extracts. There are some pas-
sages in it entitled to the particular attention—at this
moment—of Parliamentary men, which we shall take an
early opportunity of submitting to the consideration of
our readers.

From-the contents of the French papers arrived yes-
terday, it would appear that our anticipations of the fall
of the POLIONAC Ministry will soon be realised.
During a recent conversation with M. de la Bgtra-
DONN AYE, the King is said to have expressed his dis-
satisfaction in no very measured terms. It is only neces-
sary to look at the contents of the liberal journals, which
represent the great majority of the nation, to be convinced
how imperative it has become for Cu Aimee X. to listen to
the voice of his people. Although the resignition only
of the Minister of the Interior is yet spoken of, this
would inevitably entail that of all the Miuibters who came
in under his auspices, and these form nearly two-thirds of
that Cabinet. On a view of the present state of
parties in France, it must be admitted that the Kum
is placed in a most embarrassing situtaion : knowing, as
he does, however, that more than three-fourths of his
subjects are determined to maintain the Charter, the
consequence of his throwing himself into the arms of the
minority may be readily conceived. With regard to the
formation of a new Ministry—since this is no
longer doubtful—the question arises, from what party
will it be chosen ? A variety of circumstances make it
clear to us, that few of the late Administration would be
again tolerated by the Chambers. While in office, it was
rather dragged along by, than the leader of 'public opi-
nion, and many of its measures were received with great
unpopularity. Upon the whole, we are inclined to be-
lieve that nothing short of the admission of men, con-
cerning whose unequivocal attachment to the principles
*of public liberty there can be no mistake, will ensure a
majority in either of the Chambers. Dans pen de fours
nous verrons.

There is little doubt now that the treaty of Adrianople
is good for nothing. A letter received yesterday in the
city, dated Smyrna the 180 of Oct., states that, although '
this famous arrangement tas been signed only one
month, the Turks of Erzeroum and other. Eastern pro-
vinces are fast detaching themselves from the SULTAN ;
the Armenians at the same time resolving'' to withdraw,
and follow the Russians. However unwilling we may
be in this quarter to give credit to this easy transference
of Empires and provinces, we dare not deny the like-
lihood of it—indeed it is exactly what we have all along
anticipated.
The letter to which we have referred, says, that Com-
merce is almost annihilated. A foolish piece of gossip is
added—namely, that the only cause the SULTAN has for
repairing his pazinetis to attack the-PActt# of EGYPT,
whose treasure he covets ! The truth is, that our ancient
Ally, the SUaLIME PORTE, is become the standing joke
of every suitor in Europe ! ' The Dutch and German I
Papers received this day, do not contain anything of
importance. The subjoined are extracts
