mains, either in the city or the environs. The Authorities will
allow the lemonade houses and taverns to be re-opened on the
28th, and we hope that the theatre will soon be also re-opened."
The Quotidiew of this day says,—' Spain has just recognized
Don Miguel as the legitimate Sovereign of Portugal. This news
is certain, as we hive just received an official notice of it from
Madrid. It was worthy of King Ferdinand to set an example
which wi'l soon be followed, as we believe, by all the other great
Powers of Europe.
Col Gustayson, the Ex• King of Sweden, has left Leipsic for
the Netherlands. It is said that he is about to embark for the
East, where the policy of the Sovereigns, his ei dreamt colleagues,
assures to hint the possession of a new throne.
From the Constitutionna of Saturday.
A shicument with the above title has been published by the semi-
official ntorning paper. We are not aware with what Intention
this publication has been made, but whatever it may be, this pro-
spectus of a mutual insurance between the payers of taxes against
the levy of all illegal ones, is certainly in circulation, anal we have
been able to convince ourselves that it has received nurnero'as
and honourable signatures. Proprietors, hankers, the industrious
iif all classes, a number of electors, several Deputies and
citizens belonging to the bar, and to the various professions,
h ive affixed their names to the foot of the declaration of
principles, which the Quotidienne has printed in to-day's paper. and
which we also give, in imitation of the example. We did not give
it sooner, in order to avoid the common reproach brought against
us by our adversaries, of directing opinion, and we want to deprive
them of this ridiculous pretext for attacking what is a free and
spontaneous act, if there ever was one. Now that this document
has in a great measure been carried into effect independently of the
Journals, and that the Ministry itself has given it publicity, and
accompanied it with calumnious remarks, we think it proper to let
it have a place in the Cosatitillioned.
[Here follows the scheme of the Association, which, after
giving the clauses of the Charter against raising taxes otherwise
than by a vote of the Chamber, engages the Members " to resist,
by all legal means, the collection of a tax not agreed to according
to the forms required by the Constitutional Charter."]

ATTEMPT AT SMUGGLING IN THE NAME OF THE
BRITISH AMBASSADOR.

The Government has done Its duty respecting the contraband
goods addressed to the English Ambassador : the cases were stopped
at the Custom-house of Paris, and re-exported to England without
a single article having been extracted from them. The Ambas-
sador of his Britannic Majesty is not less exempt from reproach
than the Government, as a simple exposition of facts will show.
The coachmalter of his Excellency in London, Mr. —, bad to
send to France inches and empty trunks belonging to the equipages
of the Ambassador. Mt. -- thought, as it appears, that he had
a favourable opportunity of obliging some of his customers in Paris,
and he wrote to them, in consequence, to inform them that he had
the means of sending to France, free of duty, whatever they might
desire. The customers of Mr. did nut refuse this offer, and
the trunks arrived in Paris filled with the articles ordered. The
French Custom-house apprised the Ambassador of the arrival of
the trunks; hi. Excellency requested that they might be examined.
They were opened in consequence, and found to be filled with ar-
ticles of British manufacture. Each parcel bare the address of the
person for whom it was Intended. Without doubt, it hid been
imagined that the servants of the Embassy would nut fail to send
'.ach parcel according to its address, without taking much trouble
to leant if the Ambassador was informed of the transaction.
Amongst the persons to wham parcels were addressed were
Mew..
Lord ......—in fine, every body had he thought of except
the Antbas.ador himself.
An enormous package was destined and addressed to M.....,
who has filled for some time the functions of CI) ,rge d'Affaires
of
The Cu...torn-house did what was proper in these circumstances;
is caused all the cases to be re-exported to England, without allow-
in; the smallest part of the articles they contained to be extracted
for consumption in France.
