BERLIN, SEPTEMBER 111.

It is incredible, and yet true, that in many Ger-
man countries there still exists what is called a Salt
Conscription ; that is, a law by whiz!) every subject
is obliged to purchase annually a certain quantity of
salt from the sovereign, whether he wants it or not.
—Oar King. by a Decree, dated in June last, had
relieved from this burden the countries on the left
.bank of the Rhine, to the western frontiers of the
kingdom. which were partly subject to it ; the other
roams of the kingdom were relieved from it at an
earlier period. Every body has now no farther obli
gluiest than that of purchasing his salt from the Royal
'salt works, or salt magasines. %sides the fixed sue
publisly advertised price, the purThaser. has no fur
'ther duty to pay on it, even it he carries on a trad.
with it, as is, Is only sold wholesale from the publi.
stores. All importation of foreign salt is prohibited
under the legal pwalties imposed upon smuggling.

to Madrid by the Count de MIRANDA. The QUEEN
on landing at Catdis espressed an anxious wish for a
frigate to be immediately dispatched to her father, to
inform him of her safe arrival, in consequence of which
a vessel was immediately dispatched for the Brazils.
The merchants of Cadiz had presented to the QUEEN
one thousand ounces of gold, and the same sum to her
sister, and resolved to pay their travelling expenses as
far as Toledo. The marriage presents and dresses
were purchased in Paris, by the Countess of PERALA-

On the opening of the Electoral College of the
Seine, M. Bellart, the President, made the following
speech :
" CENTLESIEN—The words of our King cannot be
deceitful. He bas ratified by oath the Charter which
his goodness gave to us. It is in the name of the
Charter that he now calls us together. For thirty
the spectacle of our agitations has been before
is eyes. He has meditated upon them in his re-
treat. His profound wisdom there followed the pro.
gress of opinions and of events. This second NUMA,
pure, like the first, from human weaknesses : like the
first, holding commerce with Hiraviter, which seems
to inspire him with all thoughts benefitial to his sub-
jects, he formed his estimate of the age, and of
France. Henceforward he matured in silence a
Charter suited ara the times, to the ideas of the age
more or less just, but still prondeat, to the passions,
perhaps to the prejudices of his cotemporaries : a
Charter consummating the happiest of all alliances,
between reason and the love of liberty—between the
power of one man, which in great communities can-
not be dispensed with without insanity, and the fran-
chises of the people claimed by all Europe ; between
the present, in fine, which asks consolations for greet
misfortunes, and the past which solicited oblivion of
.great errors. Such, Gentlemen, was the gift which
our Monarch brought to France, when PROVIDENCE
replaced him on the throne of his ancestors. He has
said it ; this fa/am of the future destinies of our
country shall never be violated. Judge of this by
what you have seen. Some modifications, unimpor-
tant in appearance, had been torn from the King
amidst the tumult of last year, by I know not what
bellowing, which was represented to him as public
opinion, claiming, it was said, more liberal elections
than those accorded by the Royal Charter. A calm
is re-established. The wisest of Monarchs has list-
ened, considered, verified. Immovability resumes its
rights, and the Charter its Empire a the King wills
it. Thet, a ill of the Father of his country traces tol
us all ow duties. The Charter proclaims legitimacy,
the greatest of popular interests. It also commands
respect for the institutions which guarantee public
liberty. Our duty, then, faithful subjects of the most
cherished of Princes, true friends of concord, is to
elect only men like us, who know bow to die, if ne-
cessary, at the foot of the throne, in defence of legi-
timacy, and who will sincerely in their hearts keep
the oaths they have swan to the Charter.
44 Gentlemen, by resting in this circle we shall
serve the King and the country, the country and the
King, those two holy objects of our inviolable affec-
ion, which (according to the beautiful expressions
hat were heard not long since bit this same College—
nappy, glorious at that time in its chief, from the
mouth of a noble Prince, dear to our hearts no less
bond,in such a 11/61111er that nods but unworthy
than his august brother) are united in an indissoluble

of one or the other.
44 Gentlemen, such persons will not be fettm
this Assembly : our choice will skew the Coto.
While we make it, we will oat forget that 'het'
of our Prince and of our country are upol us
that we shall be accountable to France for thet
