extended to those criminals whose
public aGd proved guilt can be prose-
: cuted without causing alarm to the
multitude who obeyed doubtless with
[ regret the force Of circumstances.
We hope that this odious attempt to
anticipate the operation of the laws
and Of our authority has already ceas-
ed. II must be regarded as an offence
against us and against France, and
whatever may be the regret we shall
feel, nothing will be omitted by US to
punish such crimes-Our worthy ne.
phew, whose name stands henceforth
united with the sentiments of love and
devotion manifested by our southern
provinces who, by his character Of ODE
dience, conciIia,ion and energy, has
preserved aud still will preserve these
provinces from invasion, ought also
to be our agent in saving them from
civil discords and in depressing and
Furnishing those who would pretend to
abuse cur name and his. But doubt
less the noble ties formed between him
aud the inhabitants of the south, will
not be broken by the culpabIe conduct
OF some men thirstiaS for vengeance
and disorder In this confidence and
with this hope we have recommended
ny prior orders, To our, ministers and
uar magistrates, to cause the laws 10
be strictly respected, and to shew nei-
ther Indulgence nor weakness in the
prosecution of those who have or who
yet may attempt to violate them, being
well convinced that our voice will not
be heard Ia vain in a country from
which We have received so many
proofs of fidelity and affection.

Brussels, Aug. 3d." The Prus.ians
have occupied the citadel of Sedan,
the governor had hoisted the white
Tag, and has given up the fortress to
the allies by the express order of the
King of France. This is the first
example of the kind, and this cireum-
stance gives rise to various eoniec-
lures.
September e,-Last mis- CHIT we recei7-
ed Hamburger papers to the 3Oth ult.
and Berlin to the 25th, Our readers
will participate in on r feeling on rea-
ding the account respecting the pira-
eies OF the Algerines, still directed
against the commerce Of the European
nations. II is impossible that this can
oe endured much longer. All the
powersof Europe have direct interest
In exterpating these hordes, and they
are now too enlightened to suffer them
to continue.
The Paris Journals of Sunday have
arrived. They present list of the
council OF war appointed for the trial
! OF Marshal Ney. 1t is the same
which we gave some time ago, with
the addition of General Pic to make
up for Marshal Money. Marshal
Jourdan now takes the plate of Presi-

In the mean time, the vengeance of
laws has visited with severity some

been sentenced to a years imprison-

and one has been banished for seven
years.
The elements of political eonvuI.
siobs seem still smouIdering in great
quantities in France, and threate ming
the world with shower Of the embers,
II not with torrent Of the lava. Let
US hope however, that the prudence,
union, aud the vigor Of the Allies,
which have at length succeeded in
driving back and circumscribing the
limits OF the torrent, may be so sue
cessfn'ly continued as to prevent its
bursting forth afresh.
