like Germans who imogiee they have rights, and that
because-certain notions of independence and justice
hare been tecognized by the Allied' Seie;eitva;. it
follows, of course, that the Powers aasembitag for
discussion will not venture to meddle in these affairs.
The logic which lays this flottering unction to the
beasts of the Germans is, we suspect, fated to re-
ceive i practical refutation from the privileged
Powers who are about to inept for the very puppets
of taking these subjects into consideration. with the
view of shaping these pingo" Constitutions, and
Rights and Diets more to their minds. The question
of keeping possession of Fiance by military force,
requires little more consideration—it has been deter•
mined in the negative at Pstis. and the Allies have
only to i.soe their Dukes to withdraw. The
Russian Minister at Paris had received orders from
his Sovereign to attend him at Ms.la-Chapelle. Tie
Duke of RICHELIEU. in his mission to the Congress,
is to be accompanied bt• bt. De itioinsysl., Coen-
cillor of give; M. DE ROURJOT, Of the Decocts'''.
of Esterior Reiviions M. Mouniza, and M. G.
CARAVAN. The Five per Cents. tere off ow Friday
at 7M. 60c. for the opening.

The power of Ministers, it is ezpected, will spee-
dily esperience a considerable reduction. This has
loom been necessary. The monstrous and anaeoes-
eery EstablishmPnt at Windsor must soon fall, mod
whet-retrenchments will be enforced.
The approaching retoro of the Army of Occupa-
tion frnas France will, it is repotted. be the signal
for trlne considerable radoctionv in the military eats•
blishraents. which, after all their alsofilise and ex-
pedients, NI inisters now feel themselves forced to en.
ter on. Even the sacred branch of the Ordnance I
can no longer escape; and Woolwich is in as 'paw
at the repot t of the reduction of at Inset aar• batta-
lions of Attiilaty, nnix or Engineers, and • hp
proportion of Hoes, Artillery, Soper', mid other
precious et cecterue of the Ordnance, who bad hitherto
thought themselves snag in their births, and beyoltd
the reach of economy. It is understood that a re-
duction of 25,000 men will take place in our army
on their arrival In, England.

The triumph of Purity and Independence of Elec-
tion in the return r.f C. I Nunn, Esq. thenew Mew.
ber for the Borough of lteading,and hisColleagoe, was
celebrated in that town on Monday last, in a moat
gratifying manner. We give a report of this be,.
mosrable testimony to the political character, the ta-
lents, and integrity of Mr. PALMER; aed it is with
feelings of much satirfaction that we read is the tIOR.
cess which, has attended the patriotic! efforts 1
Electors of Reeding, and the spirit which walielaill
their Meeting, the strength and energy which moot
thus be given to the national rinse of Liberty and
Reform. It will be observed from the among that
'Sir F. BURDETT, and many independent characters,
friends to Reform, were present: We Wye also
great pleasure in observing that Mr. Moses, &alb
absent in France, was not forgotten.

The G=ette of last night contains a Protlawation,l
Prorogoing the Meeting of Parliament from the Id
of October to the 12th day of November. It is oot
stated in the Proclamation that Parliament will then
meet " for the dispatch of business." We may
therefore conclude that the Legislature will oot be es-
rembled earlier than in the month of Janw►y, swim
it becomes imperative on the Crewel to ',risk, item.
bislance by the occurrence of a distressing egad,
hich the present state of her M imarv's health ohm
but too much reason to apprehend. Should the fears
arising from the QUEEN'S illness be realised, it is very
probable that Parliament will be suffered to meet out
the day to which it n • is further prorogued.
