The best couaterpoise to this growing power was
France. This counterpoise can onlybe restored by key-
ing France to its natural energies, and taking oil' the

trammels that weigh them down.
This, however, is not the plan which the Liberals
are pursuing. The Paris Journals still show the hos.
tile disposition of the Continental Governments to-
wards the Liberty of the Press. This hostility
is daily disclosing itself.--One might have sup-
posed the Legitimates were io shielded by their
purity and virtues and cordons of bayonets, that they
had gothic( to fear from discussion and enquiry.
But they do not think it necessary that their subjects
should be employed in discovering their merits. An
article from Vienna. notices the frequent conferences
of the Prussian Councillor)eficate DE JORDAN and
the; Prince DE MErrruNiciti aid a report prevailed
that Austria and Prussia bad yelntiy presented to the
Germanic Diet a proposal for restricting the Liberty
of the Press. In Switzerland the Canton of Tessin

and Austria igeinst abuses of Press, and has not

day cdtitain an shstrect of the proceedings of the
Chamber of Peers, on the Liberty of the Press, and
here. egein we find a Doable orator, the Count Mote,
Minister of Marine, inveighing against the inde-
pendent* of the Journals, and denying thelliutility
"to any *purpose advantageous to the Stale !" Tlbis
is wpretty modest declaration in a Frenchman. Au
German Ministers, it appeari,lhink Wes less liberally.
But the Preis is always * welcpcne assistaot when it
favours the cause of despotism.
The Moniteur contains two Royal Ordinances, the
.one for reducing the number of Officers of the Royal
iCorps of Engineers, the other for establishing a pre-
paratory Military School, in France. In this School
*the pupils are to consist of two classes—the sons of
meritorious Officers in indigent eircumstances,snd of
persons who wish to have their children educated for
the army—the' former to be instructed at the public
charge, the education of others is to be paid for by
their families. The whole number of mils o ill be
500, of whom 300 are to be supported by the State..

Those who pay will be charged 1000 frs. per annum,
411. 13s. 4d. After completing their preparatory ,
course of instruction, the pupils will be received into
a more advanced school, irtkicbls eltegether or a mi-
litary character, and *ill eentaio 300 students.—
Those who avower satisfaetorily their eaaminatioe
here will be appoisted subaltern commissions in
the army. This French establishment differs little
in principle from the Military College of England.
Yesterday there was to be a .public Sitting of the
Chamber of Deputies, to ,receive the
.Report on the
Recruitment of the Army. It is stated from. Vienna.,
that new strength is given every dgy to- the rumour

of AUSTRIA and the eldest of the BAVARIAN Prie..
ceases. We learn by an erticieficom Berlin, that the
Algerine squadron has proceeded towards the; North
Sea. The Regency of Stettin has warned ale;vessels
of the circumstance. It is understood at,TFasiltfort,.
that the Diet has lately held secret sittings on
jects of great, importance, and that their decision of
certain questions was looked for with '.eaatie imps•
deuce throughout Germany. •
The Priestly Goferernept of Spain ' is et its, old
canting tricks on the subject of the Slave Trade.—
NA D has issued a Decree which enacts a par-
list abolition of the inhuman traffic it presenti• end

months from the flitter alettr for the completion of

We copy in enother page, from a respectable
Scotch Paper, an interesting and useful article on the
subject of the many evils arising out of the Burgh
Sj stem under which the inhabitants of Scotland have•
long groaned, and from which they are now, en.
couraged to hope relief by the eircersirt which are
everywhere making to throw of this yoke of Cops
'reption. Success has already attended the efforts of
'the Scottish burgesses in souse instances ;'and if Mi-
' ;istets will but give their case a favourable consider*.
ion; a universal Reform in the Burgh syatem• may be
rpected to take place. But whether this be the
tease or dot, weaken join with the voice of the Scat.
llsh community, and say, it is the interest of all those
'who desire Reform to speak out. If Ministers ere'
tof sincerer let them make it their. interest to yield..
o the public wishes, by expressing their beni insdats so
ecidedly, as to render it clear to the world, Tat to
`refase what is asked, would be to resist, the voice of
the community. But much will depend on the mite-
her of Burghs which join in the application. If the,
pantry Burghs lie by and -wait the issue of the ex-
Ordens making in Edinburgh and two or three other
places, they will do a great injury to the commit;
cause. If the Government grant reform to those
Burghs which apply first, it does not follow that
they sill be equally disposed to grant it to others
who are merely moved to seek it' by the success of
these who have gone before them. On the other
htUd, if it is to he extorted' from Government by
the earnestness of their applications, those Bergh.
'which keep silence have no chance to obtain it ; and
