French, Flanders and Hamburger papers
nave arrived since our last publication, and
Contain some news worthy of notice.
The Chamber of Peers has rejected the
law on elections, sent up TO il by the cham
Der OF Deputies. The objections seem to
be, that the new law proposed the re-clec-
ton OF the entire Chamber. as in England,
instead Of its renewal by Gfths, as laid down
by the Constitutional Charter.
The Russian Commercial Code, to be in
force from the 1st Of next Sept. allows the
admission or British refined sugars, and of
All Cloths OF British fairies, except black *
OF silks exported from this oountry. into
the ports of Russia. In consequence of
this, sugars have already risen los per
cwt. at Hamburger, and we trust we may
anticipate an increased and brisk demand
Tor our other manufactures, thus released
from trammels
Paris, Htirii a.
ne accusation against our countrymen,
as informed you, is now limited 10 the eva
sion OF M. Lavalette, and the three gentle
men stand accused of having facilitated and
consummated the escape of that prisoner.
,hey received copy of their indictment
last night. The oHence is now what you
call IN England, a misdemcanor. But the
Procureur General has Thought fit to pre-
NIX TO It an exordium of a most extraord-
nary nature. 1t is false, base, and ca,um>

"Layalette on quitting the Conciergerie
OBTAINED retreat, Where he remained con-
ceaied more than fifteen DAYS. notwi ,hstan-
ding the vigilance of the Police he felt
however, that he could not csc. pc the
search, OF Which he was the object, but by
placing between the Police and him the
barrier OF the capital and the Frontier of
France. The step was hazardous, he had
to Ind able guides. contidents, sure, able
and experienced. He did not choose them
amongst persons who were united to him
by the ties of blood, the bonds of friendship
or the duties Of gratitude he did not Obtain
more active assistance from the spirit of
party and 1t was among the enemies of the
Ning that he sought for deliverers.
There were at Paris crowd of fer
eigners, and amongst them some men i'm
hued, with those ant-social doctrines which
ag'tsted Europe for half century, and
which have produced such bitter fruits to
france /; enemies from principle to every
laea OF order and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS TO
the power of Kings and the repose of ma
eions-enemles of justice, which is the ba-
SIS OF both. Such men at war with their
own government, could not respect ours.
Ihey thus Showed themselves the never
ceasing consumers, or rather the psrtina-
Cious detractors OF every measure that JUS
tice and the welfare of the state dictated
10 the hIng's Government. They did not
ensemble thsir hatred to the dynasty Of
the bourbons, still less the hope of seeing
new temPests agitate Europe and in or
der to co operate in the great work Of PEE
neral emancipation, they began by making
champions of all the great criminals prose-
cuted in France, and the accomplces of
the factions from all countries.
:" Amongst them WAS distinguished Mi
chael Bruce, an English gentleman, who
had already signalized himself by an ardent
zeal for Marshal Eey and Robert Tho
| mas Wilson, an English General Offer
unemployed, who had shewn the same pre-.
objection for the Marshal, and who subse-
quently transferred his interest TO Lava
iette, because it appears there was a sys-
tenn well understood 10 protect, to collect
VITA care, and sedulously preserve all the
Instruments OF RIGHTEOUSNESS and disorder.
1t was TO the protection of these foreigners
that Lavalettc had recourse
30 that they are accused Of being the e.
nemles OF civil ortler--of iustice-of the
power OF Kings--of the repose of the world
1t must excite the Indignation of the British
government to learn, that subjects of his
NlaJesty can have such loose and eXtrava
CANT charges brought against them--par
tIcularly as the French prosecutor in this
preface violates the law of his own land.
Fer Art. 271 of the penal code expressly
Says
The Procureur General shall prose
cute either by himself or his substitute al!
persons accused according to the forms
prescribed in Chapter /. of the present Ii
tie He shall not make to the court any o.
Their accusation on pain of nullity, and if
there be reason, of other penalties
The meaning of which is, that he can
only bring forward the charges which are
exhibited by the Chamber of Accusation
and that 1t lie does otherwise, he shall be
subject to penalties by an action against
himself.
