A supply of German Papers reached us this atom,
ins. The German Editors amuse themselves with
political speculations respecting the state of ,af4ira in
France, under .thepretended tide of Private Letters
hoes Paris. We subjoin a specimen of this species of
composition, which is by no means unfavourable.
EXTRACT OP A PRIVATE LETTER ram PARIII, JULY 3.
44 If the impartial observer cannot help feeling an
unpleasant iensatioa that the King of France cannot
do what he pleases in, h 1 own country, he must, on
dre.other hand, console himself with the remark, that
this momentary limitation 'of the 4oyel.will concerns
a thing which properly ought•never to be allowed at

" The King, as it is well known, drove through
Paris on the day that the conspiracy Was dilaWertds
in an open chaise, proving by this that he exposed
himself to any 'attempt against his 14e, ar'd did not
pusillanimously tremble at it. Theirrinces hive dote
the same innumerable times t they gib about awns
the people in the evening on font, and without any
attendants, and never have, I observed the silstest
indication of their having taken any measureslor tht
Security of their own persons.. One must therefore
be the more surprised at the unhappy, slavish os.
crouiness of. the subordinate agents of the Police,
which was particularly conspicuous in the petty and
trifling meatuses which he, adopted for the rnami„,
pence of order in the interior of the Thurlleries, at the
celebration of the marriage. One could not turn al
eye, put one font.before the other, or move a hind,
without exciting suspicion in the Police.
sg The King, who
.has sufficient elevation of souttn
prefer a free and courageous exposure of his person,
even were it attended with some danger, io the petty
fearfulness of an ordinary man, would °Firer approve
the proceedings of the police, If they came to bit
knowledge."

RIOTS AT' GLASGOW.
We are happy to-state th ibe accounts bronglit
from Glasgow by the. Mail of this Morning add little
'or nothing to the distressing details which we yester
day laid before our Readers. On Thursday last, as
we have already stated, and on Friday, according to
`the accounts received this day, a considerable dispo.
skim to ximing was manifested among the lower
ranks, in the Calton, one of the populous suburbs of
, Glasgow, but every thing was quiet and no appear.
ante of the disturbances being likely to be renewed,
at the time when the Mail left Glasgow on Saturday
afternoon. During the tumult in the Calton the
greatest good order prevailed in the City of Glasgow,
nor was there even the shadow of any disturbance.—
Two troops of the 6th Dragoon Guards arrived at
that City on Friday, in aid of the very small :Bakery
force before in the. place ; but, happily, there was
not, when our accounts came away, the least appear-
ance that their services would be required.
We are happy to add, that excepting one boy,
none but the two instances which we mentioned yea-
terday met with any serious hurt. The boy alluded
to was at first reported to have been hurt in the head
by a chisel, and in consequence carried to.the
many on Thursday night. We considered this as a
casualty no way connected with the riots, and there-
fore took no aotice of it yesterday; but .we find the
occurrence mentioned in the Glersova Courier of Se.
turilay, without any notice of the chisel, staiirg
merely that 'the hat_ wit severely the •
to....nowartro.at the operatlfm of trepan- had been p.. 1
formed on hint.
Too much' praise cannot be bestowed or the
promptitude with which the Civil Authorities, 5i6.11
by the military, exerted themselves to restore and

maintain the public peace ; and the perfect order mid
quiet maintained in Glasgow itself, and its other-po-
pulous suburbs, during the riots in the Calton, folly
justifies all that we stated yeiterdaliespecting the
general sobriety, temperance, intelligence, and meri-
torious conduct of the great majoiity of the artizans
in that populous neighbourhood, notwitbstauding ;he
great, we may say, the unexampled distress under
which they now labour, from want of employment

'You are well aware that the infitienie of the Preachers

eiery. pin of Great. Britain, where Methodist Socie,
Lies. exist ; and equally sensible that they' are the
uitt' glOasarieibt them i such being the case, *does
any other vehicle, than a popular Newspaper; whose
circulation extends as far as their influence does.
appear calculated to disseminate a corrective to their
tinreasonable proceedings ? For one, I do abt see
any. This, then, is the only apology I have to Make
for this mode of procedure.
The profound mystery which reigns on almiiit
every branch of the Methodist economy, but pairii.
cu/arly about the Funds, can only be equalled by th'e
profound ixilifereses which exists on this subject ; nor
does,any thing appear calculated to make you sen.
able qf your own insignificance and unimportance ;
and that you are both Insignificant and unimportant,
'who will deny t unless, indeed, when you are called
'upon to suppOrt some bl the hinds, of whkh the
'Preachers give no Account then, on a sudden; Foe
become both sisstificaut,. and MINIUM also! To If..
move
,prejudice is a difficult task; but when it is
religious prejadiee. and deeply rooted in the mind,-
it is almost a hopeless one a for then the deftest
definition of a subject, and the clearest xonsout, ate of
equal weight and importance. Nevertheless without
an effort, nothing can be done—an effort then shall
be made.

The opportunity offered by the annual Conference
of the Preachers assembling in Manchester, in July,
1815, was, it seems, seized by a person who styled
himself " Oasenven," to offtr some remarks on the
then state, and future prospects of the Methodists t
which remarks produced a reply, and that reply pro-
duced a rejoinder, which rejoinder closed the ani.
madversions of both parties. As, however, the re-
marks, &c. appeared only in one paper ( Wheekr't
Ilifanciester Chronicle), and, of course, had only a very
limited circulation, I shall,. for the information of
'those who are unaequiinted with what was published
on that occa►ion, insert the irst remarks of On-
VIEVER, and the reply thereto (the rejoinder does not
appear necessary), in order that. the following Ob-
servations may be better understood :
