TO THE KING ET THE IMHASITAIN

Or GIISNOBLIC, DAVID SETT. 17, 1829._

" Sim—Your devoted subjects, the undersigned inhabitants Ji
Grenoble, department of Isere, now lay at the foot of the throne
the expression of their fears and grief. Enlightened by a long ex-
perience. the King your august brother granted to us a Charter.
which, by its admirable formation, conciliated order and liberty,
the protection of the subject, and the patriotism of the citizen.
'• This pledge of the restoration sworn to by hint, by your
jetty, and ourselves, is in danger. . .

"A faction, which has never discontinued the war with winds
it has pursued us for these forty years, has placed itself between
the Prince and the people. It has already weakened several of
our dearest institutions, and defers to the present day the fulfilment
of the august promises made us. Notwithstanding this, France rc-
tained her hopes, and confided iii a word which cannot deceive ,
but now she sees the avenues to the Throne occupied even by the
chiefs of that f..ction. Will they, who have always protested
against it, fulfil the Charter and your promises?
'• Will they restore to us those institutions which they have de-
prived us of—they whom we reproach for the loss of them?
•• Will they respect the liberty of the press—they who will never
cease to be accused by France, whilst France retains a voice?
" Will they suppress electoral frauds—they whom we have ever
been obliged to contest against to have them suppressed?
" Will they reduce the taxes that are crushing, us—they who
have ever voted against every reduction?
•• Will they improve the system of public instruction—they who
put all their hope in the ignorance of the people?
Will they be able to have French generosity respected by our
neighbours—they who have ever been averse to anything generous?
•' Will they defend the independence of your Crown—they wh.,
have been placed tu power by foreign influence?
•• Are they worthy depositaries of the glory of our armies—the y
who are only known to our warriors by their treason?
' %Vitt they drive vengeance from their b ; will they .on-
ciliate the hatred of parties—they who prepared lists of Frenchmen
for the scaifuld,they who call idleness clemency, they who, to ex-
press their horrible wishes, have become the plagiarists of the
tribunes of terror?

" France sees with horror united In the Ministry men who were
joined in its antipithies, and from whom every citizen fled wlni
enjoyed the esteem and honour of his countrymen.
" Sire—Have pity on France and the Throne; drive from it
the evils with which it is menaced. To render it glorious fur-
tonate, France has need of the confidence of its King. Give her
Ministers worthy of her and yourself. •
Sire—ln terminating these humble representations, permit us
to assert our respect fur your prerogatives. We know, before
Kings, good from bad Ministers; we know the latter by our suf-
ferings, and Kings know them only by our groans. That is a lezi-
(inure prayer which requires from Heaven good Kings; why
should not that be the same which requires from Kings good Mi-
nisters?" (Here fellow 154 signatures.)

REPORTS RELATIVE TO THE MINISTRY. •

The conviction is so strong that the present Ministry is about to
breathe its last sigh, that lists of a new administration are circu-
lated every day. Yesterday M. de Mortemart was mentioned as
Minister for Foreign Affairs; M. de Berbia, of Finances; M.
Delalut, of the HoMe Department; de Rim of Marine; M.
de Belleme, of war ; of Public Inittuction, M. de Chateaubriand ;
and of Justice, M. de B nville or M. de Vaublanc.
This evening there are some essential changes ; M. de Chateau.
briand is talked of as Minister for Foreign Affairs ; tl. Humana,
of Finance; M. Hyde de Neustille, of Alarine; M. de Martinac,
of the Home Department; hi. Drialot, of Public Instruction;
General Ambrugeac, tat War ; and M. de Polignac, a. Minister of
the King's .Hou-ehold. We do not guarantee the truth of these
reports ; but they prove one thing—that the present Ministry is
impossible. • •
AFFAIRS OF THE EAST—DETACH RD QUESTIONS.
According to some private letters the Grand Vizier has taken
part in the negotiations set on foot at the iluasiin Lead-patters.
Have the writers forgotten that this Viceroy is hemmed in at his
camp at Shumla, and that he is separated from..Adriatople by the
Balkan ? It is the Kalmakan (holding his place) who is appointed
to reside near the Sultan, whenever the Grand Vizier is absent, that
these letters mean to speak of.
In endeavouring to explain, in our paper of the kith of ibis
month, the cause of the delay in the movements of the Russian
General since his arrival at Adrianople, we showed that litbasi
substituted the language and the resources of diplomacy for the int-
petuo.ity which bad carried him to within ate day.' journey of the
enemy's capital. Ainiang the concessions which we imagined h
would demand from the Sultan, as a proof of the sincere illfehtl,a,
