LOWER RHINE, NOVEMBER s.
Persons who ought to be well informed asserts that
in the ministerial conferences at Aix-la-Chapelle, the
restriction of the freedom of the press on the Conti-
nent, became, at least incidentally, the subject of
consideration ; that Lord Castlereagh dropped some
words in favour of that restriction; that the Duke
of Richelieu was, however, of opinion that it would
be difficult to adopt any general rule, as time and
Mace were chiefly to be regarded in this object of
intetoil police ; and, finally, that verbal resolutions
were propounded for placing the journals and gpoli-
tical • works under superintendence, and for rigo-
rously puaishing the offences of the picis, when they
occur, by deterring examples.
We hope that the good intention which may form
the basis of such propositions ari these will mislead
no one. R is easy to perceive that some political
writers have been wrong ; but error and danger ought
not to be confounded. The Students who went to
the Wartburg acted very foolishly ; but the farce
they performed was attended with no other danget
except that of some persons tendering themselves
very ridiculous by their alarm on the subject. We
are, in like manner, equally unable to perceive, in all'
the improprieties, follies, and blenders of certain po-
litical writers, any tendency to disturb the order of
civilized society. If, however, on the pretence of
the danger of opposition, a timid anxiety is any,
Where manifested for employing every force to sup-
press it, we must be allowed to wish that that anxiety
may soon yield to better information. A man who
was distinguished as the decided enemy of revolu-
tions, the excellent Burke, expresses himself on the
subject of opposition, in a way which even at the
present moment deserves the serious attention of all
Statesmen—CHere follows an extract from Burke,
on the advantages of opposition.)

an expectation, however, in which we need not add
Abe people of Paris have been as much disappointed
as ourselves. The Moniteur concludes its notice as

following terms: .

" In presenting ourselves before you, we de not dissembk
that our situation is painful; We‘are :mare also of the advantage
which our enemies may draw front it against us ; but we haves

to fulfil .a sacred duty, and we come before the Court to offer a
last homage to the memory of a father and a husband. Our
hatred against Colonel Barbier Dufay is just and legitimate ;
but to be avenged of him we have not employed the hand of an
assassin. More honourable meana•esist of obtaining the repara-
tion which is so justly due to us."
After this exordium, Madame Sr. Moats entered

length into the merits of the charge of calumny
against her and her daughter, and endeavoured to
shoi that the epithets of monster," " assassin,"
and " man of blood," which they had applied to Co-
lonel DI72:AYA could not constitute a calumny, in as
much as they were but a qualification of true facts
which were imputed to him.

"We have called Colonel Way a-spy and an informer. I
aihrm upon my honour, that I have frequently seen the Colonel
at the Minstry of Police, with papers under his arms. I have

sullicient to read the :finitely. of the 11th of April, IBIS, where
he is signalized as one of those who favoured at Rochelle, the
public expression of devotion to the country and to the Emperor."

Madame ST. :gm:vs read here with much emo.
tion, a touching apostrophe to the memory of her
husband ; her voice almost failed her when she came
to speak of his last adieus. On recovering herself;
she proceeded in her or4inary accent to recount the
services and loyal conduct of her son, Count S;
Moays:

" Such a man," she exclaimed, " could never consent to pro-
long his life by an act of cowardice. What does it import to
live some years more, Compared with living with honour and
dying as we have lived."

Madame Sr. Moats here proceeded to retrace in
detail all that preceded the fatal duel, in order to es-
tablish two important circumstances:

I. That Count St. Morys bad never eluded giving satisfaction
to his adversary; but, on eke contrary, bad sought to obtain-Ic,
sonceiving himself to be Insulted by the injurious letter which
Colonel Dufay had printed and distributed.

"It is sow and for seer," she concluded, " that we would
terminate the cash which we invs imposed in ourselves. We
supplicate the Coon to dispense with oar presence during the
sequel of the discussions. It weld be impossible for us to listen
of new to thow painful details which the defender of Coinsel

Court; but, if it believes as salty of having fulfilled &sacred
Itoty, we shall prefer all the riper of the law to any sort of com-
promise between us and our adversary."
The address, the readingof which Occupied more
than en hour and a half, was delivered, we are told,
with an animated, and often pathetic tone of voice.
Madame ST. MORT/ another daughter, immediately

M. ODILLON BARIOL, the advocate of M. Roman,
'entered into a long and able argument, in which he
endeavoured to shew, on the authority of the prin-
ciples consecrated by the Constituent Assembly, as
well as by the Concordat of 1811, by the existing
Penal Code and by the Charter of Louis, that an
exemption from all such penalties, was clearly esta-
blished in favour of persons not professing the Ca-'

tholic Religion, and that the Tribunal of Gap had
committed a grois excess of power in initictir.g a
punishment not satthoyfsed by the laws.
The Advocate-General, M. GRAND DUPLRSSIS,
followed on the 'part of the Crown ; and, our Reader.
will be glad to learn, conceded, in the most unquali-
fied manner, in the arguments which had been ad-1
duced by the complainant's Counsel for the repeal of
the judgment of the Tribunal of Gap.
The Court, after a long deliberation, pronounced
a judgment said to be most " strongly worded," by
which it annulled the judgment complained of, and
decided that the Municipal Authorities have no right
to make a rule for constraining citizens to cover the
fronts of their houses on occasions of religious cere-
monies.

M. MA Rom, and other members of the Reformed
Church of Paris, were among the auditory present at
'the hearing of this important cause, thus su equitably
and satisfactorily decided.
Five per Cents, Friday, 69 fr. 50 c.

We have seen (says the Irish Southern Reporter),
some very interesting letters, dated the 19th of Sep-
tember, from Longwood,, St. Helena, from which,
however, we are not permitted to extract as largely
as we would wish. After the removal of Surgeon
O'MEARA from the medical superintendance of NA-
POLEON, and the refusal of the latter to admit Doc-
tor BAXTER to fill that situation, Doctor VERLINO,
of the Royal Artillery, was appointed to it, and eras,
at the date of the letters from whence we derive oSe
information, residing at Longwood. Doctor Vita=
LING is brother of Mr. B. VERLINO, of Cove. He is
a Gentleman of considerable literary and profes-
sional talent, and well calculated to fill so delicate
and arduous a situation ; he went out in the NORTH-
UMBERLAND with BONAPARTE, and has ever since
been stationed at St. Helena with his corps.

According to recent accounts from Lisbon, the
mercantile interest there have been in a state of anxiety
for some time past, on account of a dispute pending
between one of their body and a Custom-house Offi-
cer, called the Dispatcher of Goods. The merchant
in question had always made the Treaty of 1812,
Article 16, the rule for his government in the entry
of goods. This Officer, whose cupidity appears to
have been excited by the contents of a particular in-
voice, suddenly announced the existence of some
other code of regulations, whose existence had never
before been heard of, and, by virtue of that instru-
ment, seized some shawls at the prices entered (the
true and sworn invoice price), and carried them home.
The merchant, under the impression that this pro-
ceeding could not be legal, has caused a statement to
be laid before the Portuguese Government, through
the medium of the British ConsuL The affair had
excited an uncommon degree of interest in itself, on'
account of the highly respectable character of the

merchant concerned, and, added to the important con-
sequences involved in it, caul NI the decision of the Por-
tuguese Government to be expected with Impatience.

The private letters from Amsterdam, received yes-
terday by the Dutch mail, represent the monied market
of that city to be in a state of singular depression and
embarrassment. On Thurglay last, so great a fall
took place that several of the jobbers became unable
to fulfil their obligations, and were declared defaul-
ters : every species of stock suffered, but the foreign
securities appear to have declined in a greater proporY
tion than any others. Prussian bonds are quoted, in
Thursday's fig, at 71, and Austrian stock was as low
as 54, having undergone the extraordinary depres-
sion of 16 per cent. in the course of a few days. On
Friday morning the market, so far from sheaving any
signs of improvement, was evidently in a still more
gloomy state than on Thursday, and would undoubt-
edly -have suffered a further- depreciation, had not
some of the leading capitalists at Amsterdam afforded
their support, by coming, forward and voluntarily
engaging to sell no stock at any price. Some buyers
appeared, who offered an advance on the prices of
