manytiers, mere men of straw, there ocoastosallg happens
a ht 6 deviation from the lll‘isterial wilt aid
-Fayette, and a Manuel, obtain seats in the Chamber of
Diepaiies. By discreet introduction of the septennial
'newt, and a judicious adaptation of our methods of
mirlkiag care of a majority, either such men may be alto-
-paha excluded, or rendered u powerless as are those
smisgst us who dare avow an hostility toile Measures of
the administration. The deviation from the Charter may
";stick in the throats" of the more honest loyalists ; and
beau probably arises their opposition ; for if the King
can, of his own mere will and inclination, ordain a septen-
nial chamber, be may ordain one of fourteen, or twenty-
one years duration; and thus entirely set aside
the boasted security of the liberties of France. The essence
of a representative system is, that the power should
never be trusted longer out of the hands of the rem-
seated than is absolutely necessary. If it were admitted
that the deputies elected to a septennial Parliament were
really the representatives of the people during the flea
year of their sitting, they might .stilljbave nothing in
common with the feelings of the country, in the ensuing
sessions. They gradually become the friends of the Minis-
ter. The atmosphere they breathe is contagions ; and
the stook of individual virtue rarely withstands the temp-
tations to serve those who cell repay the obligation. The
Minister is at band, full of smiles and complaisance ; and
with the public purse open on his table. The people are at•
a distance. It will be some time before it is necessary to
appear before them ; and.in the interim a fortune may be
made, or a post obtained, which will render their good-
will a matter of less importance. Thus the matter proceeds
until tyranny becomes nee sssss y to screen injustice, and
treachery; and the people are enslaved by those who have
too much reason to dread their vengeance. An English
Ultra contends that the duration of the sittings of the
Chamber of Deputies is merely a matter of regulation
which may be safely conceded to the Monarch : but
if the French had the means at hand of resisting the
innovation, they might think otherwise. Although
the rouwat by fifths shows no great knowledge
of the science of representation, it serves the nation in
some way, by embarrassing the minister in his traffic with
his dependents, and by throwing impediments in his way,
ill the marshalling of Iris Parliamentary forces. Theproposed
septennial chamber, will smooth the course of the cabinet;
and put an end to all chance of shaking off the Bourbon
trammel', without soother revolution, • as awful as
the last; when the accummulated wrongs of the people
*ball have become again intolerable, and when a race shall
have been called into existence, who will scorn to live upon
the terms that tyranny may choose to offer them.

We learn by letters from Barbie*, that a spirit of
violent aninesity manifested iteelfagainet the missionaries
in that colony, where the chapel and seetiag-boase of the
Rev. Mr. Wray have been burnt to the ground. A reward
foe the discovery of titer incendiaries had been offered by
tbe Governor, Mr. Beard. The Governor is understood to
hays shown great respeetaod kindness to Mr. Tisay.against
whom many idle rumours sod reports bad been put is
circulation, but which on examination had been discovered
to be groundless and malicious.
Extract of a letter dated Zante, Oct. 26, 1823 :—" It will
not be without interest you will learn that Corinth has just
delivered itself up by capitulation to the Greeks. The
Turks have endeavoured to make themselves masters of the
formes of Missolongbi, that was before so well defended
by the Prince Maurocordato ; their attempts will be with•
out avail; 6,000 men now occupy this fortress, and if they
were reduced to 1,500, they could defend it. Colecotront
is to march with a certain number to defend the siege, and
the Hydriots have just sailed to repulse the assailants."

The will of Colonel Thornton rasa few days ago the
subject of a proceeding before the tri bawd of First Instance
at Paris. After hearing the Advocates forth. widow and
the minor, and for the legatees under the will last made by
the Colonel, the King's Advocate contended that the pro-
perty is Prates must be disposed of according to the
Freewill laws, and prayed the Court to decide accordingly.
The judgment was postponed.

log to a special census, the population of this capital was

- Recent Commercial Letters from Gottenburg say, that
Hada, harvesting of the corn, this summer, in Sweden,
renders itinferior in quality to tbe crop of kit year. Tbe
currency, however, keeps pretty level in its range. Accounts
from Drontheim complain sadly of the ravages committed
by the field mice Ohm lenimes,Lina.) throughout the whole
province. In many places every thing has been destroyed,
both in the corn fields and in the meadows. Snipeld a bard
winter follow, the inhabitants will be exposed to great
dificalties. if they do not experience absolute want.

On Saturday, • man whose name is Wood, a hurdle
gate maker, at Boughton, took his gun and went down to
the sea side, to endeavour to shoot some wild fowl, when
be discovered some tubs of foreign spirits floating along
ebore„ and he was in the let of securing some of them
from the reach of the tide, intending (it is supposed) to
give Information to the proper authorities, and to claim
the reward, when he was taken by a party of the Coast
Blockade, and sent a prisoner on bOard the schooner. The
sae was never known to be concerned in smuggling; and
it Is sot likely be bad any such intentions. (Pat
