THE STATESMAN:

unbiassed decision on which their,
rest. We see many instances of this

are prepared to behold mere before long.
France is..continuing her demonstrations, i. 4,
militarrtaparations, with increased aCtivlty ; nod
the army 'of King JoAcand is in motion, for the
purpose, it is said, of taking possession, sent per-
mission, sans ceremonie, of the Papal States, to'
which, by virtue of former treaties, he lays claim--
very much against the will of his Horalvas,—l
proceeding which we think may admit of more con-
structions than one.

. .
We would pass on to notice the continuance of the
career of tyranny in Spain, which has not yet reach
its limits, and is shown in fresh acts of oppressionin
the Government of that country towards its sultifggi
bat we are called to observe a striking invasion of
popular 'right in a more neighbouring State, which is.
the more unexpected as the public Journals of that,
country have lately been priding themselves on thii
degree of freedom they enjoyed. We allude to 'dot
suspension of the Journal de Paris, the last numler
of which we have not received, for an al

misrepresentation of the speech of the Dabs of Ties: '
TINTON (MACDONALD') in the Chamber of Peers, oss,
the subject of the' law creating funds for the indesetsi.
fication of the ancient Nobility, whose orates',
had been sold for account of the nation.-- I
The Duke had, much to his honour, announced 1
that he should propose a measure for this purpose,.
and also to replace the endowments under 10001
francs, which had been assigned to the wounded mi. ,
litary on property disannexed from France by the
Treaty of Paris. Instead of this last clause, the
Journal de Paris announced that the fund for the relief
of the Emigrants was to be formed by a contribution
of the Army out of its pg. The artiele in question,
which, if not an unintentional error, must have been
a mere jets d'esprit on the old runaway Nobility, and'
the love borne to them by the army, has been repre- 1
rented as intended to stimulate the selfish pas-1
sions of the soldiery against this class of men,
as :it would certainly have been palpably en-1
just to throw the burthens of their compensation
exclusively on the army, especially at a time when so
roan Officers are reduced to half psy. The sugges- I
don, therefore, i • argued, coulliave had no other'
effect than to the 'Nobles, the Court,. and
Marshal MACD ALD, who must have been sup-
posed
to have acted at the desire of the two for.
tier, in au equal state of uepopularity : and for
this,-rarponfAajk inflicted on the Paper, but aos
1 it amid about the denser, - Ogg ht not the establish.
mesa of the C:ousorship to have taken *if responsi-
bility from the Paper? If for a mere inadvertent in.
accuracy, Journals ure to be suppressed, the liberty
of the press and the subject, is indeed at a low ebb.
The measure of suspending a daily Newspaper, is as'
1 impolitic as it is unjustifiable, as it must invariably
excite a detestation of such coercive measures, and a
I degree of public feeling in favour of the sufferer,
1 whose property is thus arbitrarily destroyed.
VIENNA, Nov. W.—For some time past the con-
versation in all political circles, has run on a note
transmitted by Lord Castlereagh to the Count de
Nesselrode. Every one was desirous of knowing its
contents. We have learned this day, that it relates
to the affairs of Poland, and that it has been com-
municated to all the Ministers of the Great Powers.
It is true that all the details of this communication
have not transpired ; but it contains serious com-
plaints upon the delays created by Russia against de-
ciding the fate of Poland.
Russia, it is said, was nt first desirous of re-unit-
ing all Poland to its dominion. Its Sovereign was de-
sirous of being indemnified for the losses he had sus-
tained; the expences of a foreign war, and Ow de-
struction of the capital of his empire. This propnse I
was not listened to. Ile afterwards proposed to re.
unite the liolish provinces, and form them into a
kingdom, to be governed by its own laws ; but ehich
should submit to the sovereignty of the Russian
Empire. The second proposal was not better re-
ceived than the first. It is believed by many that
Russia will be unable to obtain the Vistula as a
boundary ; and they go so far as to say, that its
Plenipotentiaries have declared, that under this sup-
-1 position, its Government will be itself obliged to
shut the Sound, and to intercept all communication
with the Baltic. '-

One of the trim. con. cases alluded to by me
ugooooAm in his"defence of Sir 11. Mts.nath.y.., as,
lately deeded in the Sheriff's Court, has not been
detailed to the public. It was Canisve v. Cu RIME,
parties well known at I.Loyo's. Two thousand
pounds damages were given.
VILLE-FORT (LoZERE), Nov. 21.—For several
years tie asorderons wolves have committed dread-
ful ranges amongst the unfortunate inhabitants of
our mountains; yesterday (Sunday) at the close of
Vespers, near to the church of St. Andre, Marie
Domergue, 34 years of age, was. attacked by one of
those carnivorous animals, which devoured in an
instatst Int heart and entrails; several other females,
coming" from the same church, who were witnesses
of this horrid spectacle, flew with some armed linen
ft, ihstroy this ferocious animal.; bat were not able.,
to accomplish their intention.
Mr. WEBB the philanthropist, has been compelled
Albin theseim.44r to seek retogeln France, from
the persecution or numerous trespassers upon his,
abused generosity, who followed him from place to
place, and drove him in the first instance from Tun-,
behipoVells to Dover, where he embarked.
• Coitoseei leauesr.—On Saturday, an Inquest '
was held at the Kettle and Gridiron, Harrow-road,
on the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Eaton, who kept a
shop there for 20 years, and were found murdered
in their shop. Mr. Eaton was suspended from a
scale-beam with his throat cut, and Mrs. Eaton on
her bed, with her throat cut from ear to ear. Some
sand was found on the soles of Eaton's shoes, end
it is supposed lie went backwards after murdering
Mrs. Eaton. They were married 52 years, and were
above' 70 years old. They had lived happy, but
his behaviour of late was rather insane. Verdict—
Insanity.
A melancholy circumstance occurred at a place
called Nuptown, in the parish of Warfield, Berks,
on Tuesday last. Mr. TOBN IIEnnINGTON, a farmer
of that place, on going to fodder a bull, the furious
animal ran at him and gored him in so shocking a
manner in his back, that he languished of the wounds
till Friday, when he died.
Last June a fatal duel took place near Fort
George, Madras, between Lieut. It and Capt.
I C--, both it is believed of the 47th regiment.
I Lieut. was killed on the spot, and Capt.
C-. badly wounded in the body.
Last week a provoked hushand, near Augher,
county of Tyrone, cut, at one stroke, a fellow's
head nearly off with an axe, whom he found with
I his wife.

Prince Talley rand, proceeding in the system of mo-
deration and equilibrium that France has adopted, and
supported by the English Minister, has recalled to
recollection that it was the preponderance of Na-
poleon against which Europe armed. It is this de-
claration and these dibeassions which have made
many people imagine.that the affairs of Saxony would
take another turn.

An application was made on Saturday, on the part
of Mr. Mona's, one of the Proprietors of the Hay-
merket Theatre, to vary the words of an injunction
obtained some years ago against the Proprietors of
Drury-lane and Covent-gardenTheatres, restraining
them from performing certain pieces, the exclusive
property of the Proprietors of the Haymarket Thea-
tre. The Loan CHANCELLOR deferred his judgment.
Philip Pearce, ostler of the Rod Lion, Dulver-
ton, was last week found drowned, 'in the channel
pef the Wert, though the water was not more than
two inches deep! Becoming dreadfully intoxicated,
he fell with his face in the channel, and being unable
to extricate himself, was suffocated.

Theatre at Copenhagen on the 2Tst ult. and was
greeted by the audios* with the most enthusiastic

applause.
