Nothing can be more strongly indicative of the public
feeling in France, than the continued formation of patriotic
associations, having for their object the resistance of all
unjust taxation, and in other respects, watching over the
ilberties of thepeople. Although these combinations, which
have been rendered necessary by the folly of the Court and
ultra-Royalist faction, bring to recollection the jacobin clubs
of 1789, still there is a marked difference between those
who composed them. From all that has hitherto trans-
pired, it would appear that names distinguished above all
others for their love of order and hatred of revolutionary ex-
cesses, figure conspicuously in these patriotic enrolments:
and that men of extensive territorial property—Nobles of
the first sank and fortune in the land—are constantly
acceding to these associations, at Rennes, at Grenoble,
at Anjou, and in all the provinces. This remarkable fact
has—we are assured—smitten with terror both the Court

and Cabinet. Would it be possible to give a more striking
illustration of the settled • determination in France, to re-

sist the insane projects of the anti-liberal faction ?

We insert a letter signedPoLuc, written in a spirit
of candour and great good sense, on the state of the
country. In the passage, where the writer alludes to
the Roman Catholic Relief Bill, we understand him as
not by any means objecting to the measure itself, but
questioning the sincerity of so great and sudden a con-
version of the Parliamentary mind, as in that instance
was remarkably displayed. In such an impugnment, we
confess that we take part with Pou.lo, and attribute to
any thing but an honest conviction the abstract stimu-
lating motive to such an extensive change of opinion: a
change that sprang up in a single night, and came upon
the country full-grown, with the excrescential celerity of
a fungus: operated, as our Correspondent phrases it,
almost at the beck of an individual. We cannot re-
frain from this explicitness, the more especially as we
placed upon record our satisfaction at the event itself : but
we should be sorry if that satisfaction could be ever inter-
preted to extand to the corrupt and unconstitutional
influence, by which even so grand a desideratum has
been brought about. The great rewards, which are yet
unpaid, and the promised honours which are• yet unbe-
stowed—though the time for payment and creation ap-
proaches—have not escaped our cognisance : and it is the
reflection, that this power to corrupt may be employed in
the furtherance of
,detrimental and destructive plans—
as it inevitably will be, if we do not forthwith extir-
pate the proprietary principle—which urges us to re-
gister our condemnation of the motive, while we rejoice
in the accident of the act. The pedestal of the Noble
Duke's preponderance is the dunghill of Borough corrup-
tion : the pedestal of his own victories had been worthier
of him. But he has descended from the one, and the
other must be dashed from under him.

We have given insertion, in .another part of our paper,
to an admirable article on the Sonnets of SnAKsraitat
from the New Monthly Magazine: It is subscribed
with the initials of on? unrivalled THOMAS CAMPBELL ;
and indeed through every line of this exquisite
and delightful criticism, the master of the mo-
dern lyre—not one moment to be mistaken • in his
sympathies-rdeliiers his judgment ex eathedrd: It
appears that a friend of Mr. CAMPBELL had furnished a

The Prussian State Gazette of the 27th November,
just received, has the following intimation of the indis-
position of the Emperor NicttoLAs, in an article dated
St. Petersburgh, 18th November:—
" His Majesty the Emperor has laboured for some
days under an indisposition,—which gives, however, no
ground for alarm; as it appears from the following Bul-
letins, signed by his Majesty's Physicians, that he is
getting better."
The first Bulletin, last Tuesday :—(Nov. 10,) at eight r. as. his
Majesty was seised with a shivering fit; which was followed. dur-
ing the night, by a fever fit. In the morning it appeared that his
Majesty's indisposition Was an ague, caused by his having twice
taken cold. The disorder has since taken its usual course. From
the beginning there has not been, in any organ, any symptom of
dixase or inflammation ; and during the last three days and nights
the fever has gradually abated. Though his Majesty feels himself
rather debilitated by the continuance of the fever, we hope that the
disorder will soon take a favourable turn. (Signed)
Nov. 16, 1819. CREIGHTON RAUSH.
SECOND BULLETIN.

His Majesty bas passed a quiet night, and woke only three times
from eleven at night till eight in the morning. But little alteration
has taken place in the fever Om. (Signed)
Nov. 17. CREIGHTON RAUSCH.

A Lisbon Gazette, of the 21st Nov. received this
morning, contains a Decree of Don Mit; um, for the
suppression of the crime of sacrilege, and robbery of
Churches. This crime having become very frequent of
late, it is absolutely necessary to adopt prompt and
effectual measures for its suppression. Rewards are
therefore affixed for the discovery of the criminals, and
the Judges are directed to proceed to their trials without
"any delay, and they are not in any case whatever to alter
or modify the penalties imposed by the laws. Those who
shall purchase effects stolen from churches, or be re-
ceivers of the same, shall incur the same penalties.

We have Hamburgh Papers to the 28th Nov. this
morning. Their most interesting notices are to the

BERLIN, Nov. 25.
On the 15th of this month, Baron Alexander Von Humboldt ar-
rived at St. Petersburgh, after having performed a journey of
15,000 (10,000 English miles.) He was received by his Majesty
the Emperor in the most gracious manner; was honoured teith the
Order of St. Anne, of the first class, with the Imperial Crown.
Professors Ebrenburg and Rose received from his Majesty the
Order of St. Anne, of the second class.
In the course of this year's navigation, 1,020 ships arrived at
Dantzic.
On the 19th Inst. the Vistula was frozen over in several places,
and passable on foot. On the same day, the cold at Koala&
was 10 deg.

FROM THE WESER, Nov. 24.
It is positively affirmed that the Committees of the Diet of- the
Du. by of Brunswick has proposed the partial abolition of the very
onerous Personal tax, which was first introduced during the exist-
ence of the kingdom of Westphalia. The admirable administration
of the public treasury, and the gradual redemption of the debts,
afford the possibility of dispensing with this tax. No doubt is en-
tertained that his Serene Highness, always desirous to render the
welfare of his subjects, will accede to a proposal which Is so agree-
able to their wishes. 'The Estates had besides granted this tat for
three years may, which• have long since expired ; and it ought
therefore to hate teased, or to have been granted anew.

AGRAM, Nov. 14.

Accounts from ?Avails of the nth last. say—" We ha•e certain
information from luck, in Bosala, that the village of Gatti, which
is a league and a half from our frontiers, and is chittly Inhabited
by criminals who have taken refuge there, and make plundering
incursions into the country they have abandoned, has been btuvit
and totally laid waste by the Turks ; and twelve of these wretches
pat to death, because they had even attacked and plundered the
Turks. and killed one of them. Though the number of these
criminals is thus reduced by t 2, itmere to be 'wished that they had
all suffered, as a warning to others, by the arm of justice."
