A new decree,of the Emperor of Austiia revokes the
orohihiti•on of the exportation of arm and ammunition
from at? Austrian States; however, t!.e exportation is
permitted only to countries subject to Governmeuts
recognized as legitimate, and in ir tenthhip with A tkoi ia.
The prohibition still subsists in all its rigour with respect
to countries in a state ot revolt against their legitimate
Sovereign. Any exportation to be made from the ports
.•f the Adriatic or the Mediterranean is especially sub-
jected to particular measures of precaution.
The petite: Affsches of yesterday contains the legal
notice of the demand of a reparation of property insti-
tuted by the Duchess of Ragusa (née Perregaux), :against
Marshal Marmont, Duke t.t Ragusa, her husband. The
cAuse will be very shortly brought before the Tribunal
of the Firet Instance.

"By the Atha of Police, (Signed) "G. DICLAVAU,
" Secretary General, L. de FOLYG BRIM"
The prohibition to employ or fire off any fiue•arms
or fireworks in the public streets, or witl,in houses, is
c nsistent with a good police, because the use of these
things may produce sericias accidents. We regret that
imprudent or designing persoals haie supplied this pre-
text for the calumnies of the Ministerial Jou rnals;aud for
the measures of the police. It will be asserted m vain, that
in the publicklemonstrations ofjoydisplaied bycommand,
the use of these noisy manifestations is tolerated; popu-
Listr fetes Night to be distinguished by decency and order.
We ask Mu.Delerrau, however, what he means by
meetings, or mobs, and tumultuous cries? A multitude
of citizens walking peaceably along the streets, enjoy-
ing the sight `of the illuminations, that announce a con-
sikuti. nal victory, and a great bent fit conferred on us
by the S )vereign; these citizens, manifesting their sen-
timents by vies repeated, a thousand times, of Vive le
Itoi, must they be chit,idered as forming part of these
prohibited meetings?— f the prohibited mobs?--do
they utter tumultuous cries? M. Delavau owes this
explanation to the inhabitants of the capital. We know
very well that he declared in the good times that the
streets of this capital belonged to him, but we pretend
to believe, that in this claim there is some exaggeration;
we think that the population. of Paris have •a right to
walk in the streets and to meet in public places t it
s-ems to us that there is no crime unless these meetings
assume a seditious character, and that public tranquil-
lity is disturbed.

'Noe la Charte was a tumultuous cry a few years ago;
some persons were astrinishe.l at this, but what mould
they have thought if it had been predicted, that the
proscription Mould be extended to Five le Rol? This
reminds us t) at the censor of M. Ti anchet cut out of our
columns, without remorse, as seditious, every word
which announced to Prince that, in the Dauphin it had
-a Prince full of Undoes., and a generous protector of
its liberties.

The election of M. Royer-Collard to the Academie
Fig:waist. was Accompanied by a circumstance which
we ought to m4ke known. Several candidates who had
offerect themselves, particularly MM. Charles Dupin,
[Amin. Viennet Ancelot, and de Pungerville, on hear-
ing n the prewntation of the illustrious orator. hastened
to withdraw• their claims, in ruder not to divide the
votes. and produce that unanimity, almost without ex-
ample, which has placed M. Royer•Collard in the Aca-
demie. Nerber the Della nor the Gazette, nor the
Journal de. Paris announces his appointment ; they ap.
pear to take it for an illuminAtion.

EXCESS OF 'PRUDENCE 1N THE KEEPER OF THE
Sset.s.—The display of strength which took place yes:
terday, only served to confirm the good-will of the
Police. Paris had resumed its accustomed aspect ; these
were no other assemblies than those which form them-
selves around the piquets, to ask the reason of this mi-
litary parade. All the pnislic places were occupied by
an armed force; but more particularly at the Place
Vendome, before the Hotel of the Keeper of the Seals,
where two battalions were drawn up. When the sud-
den orders for the troops to proceed to this hotel were
given, every one imagined that a serious disturbance
had arisen in some part of Paris. The soldiers them-
sel►es expected a contest ; but they found the Place
Vendome almost deserted, and perfectly quiet, and this
quietness continired till midnight, when this useless toil
ceased. But what occasion was there for two battalions
to protect the Keeper of the Seals? If the Liberty of
the Press had been destroyed, one would believe in the
sudden discovery of some plot or conspiracy ; but these
designs are never formed for publicity. He, however,
did not trust to his ascendancy for repressing a tumult.
He did not attribute to himself the imposing authority
of that President Moll', who
" coup d'seil de l'homme vertueux,
Calmait Woo people emu les floss tumultueux."
But if there was no Mote at the hotel, neither were
there fortunately any tumul;uous people there.
There was a numerous body of gendarmerie at the
Place de l'Odeon while the Tartqffe was played. The
people, forced to move on, the injury fell on the 'Lea-

surer of the Theatre, where there were very few people.

es §'?? 0:le would be tempted to think the contrary ;
for one of the Soldiers being questioned on that subject,
answered, " do you not know that this is the way to

AS well as at the house of the Keeper of the Seals?
DIFFERVIT REPORTS CONES/MSG THa MINISTRY.
We feel that rumours of all sorts will not he wanting
in the present circumstances, partcularly after the ex-
plosion of public opini n against a Ministry which
France has long repelled.
It is by the public hatred itself and its efforts that the
IMinistry would now form its d. fence. According to
some persons, the first duty ..f Kings is to be deaf to
the wishes of the people, and the more a Ministry has
become odious, the more firm it should he.
However the dismissal' of Count Peyronnet was
simian of this evening ; bet that we dnn't believe, as it
is a mere trick to give a turn to the public indignation.
M. de Villele, in order to allay the storm, would be
well enough disposed to sell a good many of his col-
leagues at a cheap rate, if he himself remained in 'place.
Some of his confidants insinuate that he might be
charged with pursing the Ministry according to his own
will; but he his, as well as the Count de Peyromset,
supported a law, the withdrawal of which is due only
to the wisdom of the King, seconded by that of the
Dauphin. The preparation of the remedy for so many.
deceitful and absurd ineasuree cannot be entrusted' to
the fatal adviser or the hypocritical panegyrist.
A great fire, of which the cause is yet unknown,
broke out on she 10th instant, at one o'clock in the day,-
in the Commune of Landange, in the arrondissement de
Sarebourg. Of 75 houses 23 were burned, with' the
chuicb. The house of the Cure is one of them.

BORDEAUX, Aram 17.
Towards two o'clock in the morning of the 15th inst,
the beautiful sugar-house of Messrs. S :ulie, Joneas, and
Co. on the new road of Toulouse, Nos. 29. 30, and 31,
became a prey to the flames. The sugars which had been
already prepared or were still in progress of being ma-
' nufactured in this vast establishment, supplied the fire
with so active a food, that,all assistance became useless,
unless it served to prevent the adjoining warehouses
from the conflagration a ith which they were threat-
ened. The molasses ran out in prodigious masses on
all sides; the devouring flame rose to.a vast height, and •
Abe glare of the fire was perceptible at a great distance.
It cannot be said even that the four walls remain stand-
ing; for the ruins which remain so, cannot be suffered
to continue, for prudence requires that they should be
demolished as speedily as possible.
The Lieutenant. General, Commander of the Military
Division, the Prefect, Mayor, and other public function-
aries,*arrived on the spot. When the disaster was at its

zeal, did not limit his exertions to encouraging the work.
men by his presence, but was seen on the roof at the
very moment when the upper stories commenced to give
way, whilst he alone seemed inattentive to the imminent
tisk he was running. The garrison, the firemen, the
mounted and dismounted Islunicipal Guard. and thou.
sands of citizens, rivalled each other in their effor:s to
narrow the scene, and to prevent the calamity from
spreading. The principal of the establishmenr,and all
his workmen, rendered the greatest services. No aeci.
dents happened ; it is supposed, however, that a horse
in a stable opening into the street of St Jean must have
perished. The books and papers Which were in the
,warehotise No. 29 were saved. Four plates which was
filed over the door of No. 30, indicated that four kn.
surance Companies had, to the thwack of 750,000frinct
(31,7501.) insured the premikes. The total amount of
the estimated loss is stated at different sums. • .
LISBON, Aran. 7.
EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.
It is with much pleasure I lease the rumours and
odours of Lisbon, and transport myself to the other side
of the river, to enjoy the freshness of the river
breeze uncontaminated, and inhale the fragrance of
the vines, the pomegranate trees, the roses, lavender,
balm. and odoriferous plants innumerable, with
which this country abounds. The sky for many
days has not been obscured by the smallest cloud,
the fields are coveted with verdure, such as is
to be seen in England only in the month of July;
the heat, though great, is not oppressive ; and every ob-
ject, putting the inhabitants and their houses out of the
question, contributes to raise the mind to that SUPREME
Bitrro,whn,of his infinite goodness,has provided so many
enjoyments for his creatures. It is hardly possible to
imagine a climate more delighful than is that of Lisbon
at the present moment. The app-arance of the country,
too, is enchanting. Many of the orange trees are still
loaded with fruit, the vines are in full leaf, wheat, and
rye, and barley, are in the ear, some trees are in fell
blossom, -others have their fruit formed ; the porensi
granite tree, is beginning to open its red, rich, luxu-
riant blossom ; convolvuluses, periwinkles, hawthorn,
wild rose-bushes, poppies, and all tl u different tribes of
shrubs and plants and herbs, are in the hey-day of sum.
mer. What a contrast to turn from these to the inhabit-
eras and their houses I In the country scarcely a house
is to be seen with a pane of glass in the v. inciuws ; the
apartments are dirty, the inmates still more so, pettiest-
larly the women; a crazy•looking black table, a bed
without curtains, and one or two chairs, are the only ar-
ticles of furniture. The women are all without caps,
many of the children are half naked every thing, in fact,
brings one in mind of the scenery in the south of Italy. In
one respect the Portuguese, however, are superior. In no
part of the world, perhaps, is the linen so white and
clean, and when the men can take the trouble of shaving
themselves, and putting on their holyday dothes, they
need not be afraid of a comparisoa with any other
people. The fields in general are divided with stone
walls, covered over with white harcipl aster, and all the
houses have the same white appearance. The roads, with
the exception of the highways, appear to have been made
by the autumn torrents. They are generally six feet be-
low the surface of the adjoining fields, and on each side
aloes, wild pomegranate trees, fig trees, brambles, &C.
are growing in luxuriance. Superstition, if one may
judge from the appearance of some of the Churches, is
mast powerful here. In the Cathedral I saw, at a mo-
derate ealtulation, about 10,060 little wafer figures, legs,
arms, eyes, breasts of women, heads, built, goats, asks,
