CONSTANCE, Novassoan e.
The following has just been published here: 41 for some.,
time past we have observed that unknown travellers
are in the habit of aistributing, gratis, among the people,
certain.writings of various sizes, whose spirit and prin-
ciples are, more or less, averse from those of the Catholic
church, and this is effected by joining them with other
publications that are conformable thereto. To prevent,
as much as possible, the evils which may result from
these manoeuvres, we, by these presents, invite all Pastors
to redouble their vigilance with respect to the books and
printed writings that may be in circulation, and read in
their communes. They must admonish, most carefully,
their parishioners, of the danger to which the imprudeat
perusal of such writings, circulating in obscurity, ex-
poses their religious sentiments, and exhort Ahem to put
such confidence in them, as not to permit any hooks or
tracts to be received into, or used in, their houses, until
they have been submitted to the examination of their.
Pastors, and until they have declared the reading of them
not likely to be attended with any inconvenience.—
Above all things, we insist on the obligation of not per-
mitting any Bible to be used, except that which is ap-
prOved by the Catholic Church. If there have crept in,
or are creeping in, to any commune, such books as may
shake the belief of the faithful, or lead to immoral
practices, or to superstition, or fanaticism, the Pastor of
such commune is to make his report to us in that re-
gard through the Man, in order that the measures ne-
cessary against the danger may be taken. Finally .we,
lon this occasion, call on all Pastors to facilitate, as much
as possible, the distribution of works of religion and
piety of which we have approved, which is, doubtless,
the most efficacious means of shutting out such writings,
as may be prejudicial to good morals and to sound re-
ligion. a The Administrator of the Bishopric.,

BOURDEAUX, Novams,ga 22.
The man of blood, the kobespierre of the Colonies,
has breathed his last—Victor Hughes is dead, and
humanity again respires. The accomplice of those
wretches who overwhelmed France in misery and ruin,
he surpassed them all in his cruel mission. Landing at
Guadaloupe, by an effect of that fatality that presides
over misfortune, he proclaimed liberty to the blacks,
and he slaughtered their masters. Thp moiety of the
proprietors fell under his executions, and every family
•bewailed its •ictim. The Colony; then extremely rich.
was plundered, and Hughes amassed, by this means,
immense wealth. the scourge of that quarter of the
world, he produced insurrections in St. Lucia, St. Vin-
' cent, and Grenada ; but- he failed at Dominica and
Martinico—there his. emissaries received their merited
reward ; the whole of them were captured,tand put to
death. The cruelties for which this terrible man was.no-
torious, can scarce be enumerated, and some of them
even surpass belief. Recalled in 1798, he was con-
firmed by the Consuls in his office of Commissioner of
Guiana, where, as in Guadaloupe, he acquired a con.
siderable fortune by his exactions. After the capitula-
tion of that Colony, he returned to France, where
Buonaparte made him disgorge a part of the gains of
his robbery. He then sought shelter in the department
of the Gironde, in the commune of Rion, where he re-
mained until his death, with the exception of six months
that be passed with a person, named Mark Bordes, a
potter, his nephew, and formerly his confidential se-
cretary.—Memorial Bordelais.

PARIS, NOVII3OII SS.
If a,ediscourse emanating from the Throne of Eng-
land, requires interpretation, it is natural to seek for it
in the words of the Ministers, and of those who are
charged with proposing the Address, who are always
the organs of Ministers. What phrase is it in the king.
of England's Speech, in which the Opposition Journals
seek to discover something liostile and threatening?—
Precisely that on which Mr. Canning and Messrs. Lid-
dell and Wynn gave the most pointed explanations.
We deem it: useless to repeat these, because we pub
lished them yesterday, and the other Journals only
giving them to day, they *ill be under the Eyes of the
general reader at the same time as these remarks. It
may be seen, in fact, that when the King of England
says—" I am exerting myself with unremitting anxiety,
whether singly, or in conjunction with my Mlles, as
well to arrest the progress of existing hostilities, as to
prevent the interruption of peace in different parts of
the world"—his Majesty means that, in America he has
sought, singly (and the mission of Lord Ponsonby is a
proof of it), to put an end to the hostilities relative to
the occupation of Monte Video, between Brazil and
Buenos Ayres ; and, in conjunction with his Allies, in
Greece, to stop the effusion of Christian blood. We
announced long ago the union of the Powers of Europe
to effect this last measure. As to Portugal, it is evident
that Mr. Canning—speaking of the anus of England
to attain the God-like end, which the King proposes to
himself, that of repressing acts of hostility, has been
assi.ted by all the Cabinets of Europe ; ani that it is in
consequence of that unanimous agreement, that peace
has not been interrupted. It is quite natural, that the
Opposition, not finding in the Speech hom the English
Clown any motive for uneasiness, should seek, in what
the King did not say, for something hostile and threaten-I
ing. N e may remark, in conclusion, that there has
been no Royal Speech of England, for ten years past,
in which the 'Opposition Journals have not seen symp-
toms of war; and yet peace has reigned, and still con-
tinues to reign.
The Austrian Observer states, that the Kiaießey of
the first Commissioner of the Porte, Nadi-Effenai, who
set out to carry to Constantinople the convention con-
cluded at Akermann, returned to Jassy on the 4th of
November, with the ratification of that act by the
Grand Signior, and departed next morning for the Rue.
:Lin quartets on the Pauli, where another delegate of
the Turkish Commissioners was in waiting to receive his
dispatches, and to carry them with all speed to Aker-
maim. The Kiaii Bey returned the same evening to
Jassy to sya.t t le airi a.tl of the Tut kish Commissioners,
who were to return in eight or ten days.
The Constitutionned states, that its responsible editor
was last night again cited before the Juge d'lnstritetion,
to give into/ mat ion respec= ing the assassination.of which
