alton of the general strength


the preservation of the general strength
aud happiness:
The greatest effort of my life will be
to preserve the blessings which my peo-
pie possess, and transmit them unim-
paired to pesterity; and have the
more animatiug hope OF being able to
discharge the sacred duties which have
been conided to me, from the wisdom
and affection of Parliament aud the
support OF all my subjects.
L am determined to employ, to the
full extent OF my power, all the means
which the constitution aud laws have
placed III my hands, Tor the punishment,
OF sedl,ion, and the promplsuppres sion
Df disorder and revolt.
Amidst all the difficulties of the pre-
sen, crisis, receive with high salts
faction the expressions of loyalty and
attachment from "A vast majority of my
subjects. l am sure that they will du-
ly appreciate the great advantages of
this happy form OF government, under
which, with the favor of Divine Provi-
dence, this country has enjoyed, during
long series of Yeas, internal peace,
commercial prosperity, and liberty III
short, every thing which constitutes
public welfare, beyond any other ma
ton of The world.
Erance.-1'he elections have result
ed uniformly almost in favor of the
King and the existing order of things.
Ofal' the former deputies, who, from
having accepted salaiied offices, were
obliged to resign, three only were not
reelected, and of those three but one
was a candidate. The fidelity OF the
National Guard seems mistaken, and
externally there IS nothing apparent but
peace and harmony. Under these cir
cumstances, the change in the Minis
try seems singular. 1t originated per-
haps in some personal pique but. be.
fore 1t was accomplished, went further,
and resulted in making up a cabinet
taken entirely, as it seems SO us, from
the extreme left.
The first difficulty arose from an ex-
preston used by NJ. Odillon Barro,,
Project Of the Seine, ia an address to
the citizens Of Paris, Oh the subject of
the disorders, of which the apprehen-
sion that the eX ministers would escape
punishment, was the pretext or cause.
In that address, he qualified the step
taken by the Chamber. for abolishing
the punishment OF death as "inoppor-
tune" Messrs. Guizot aud de Brog-
lie took offence, in behalf OF the Cham
Der, with which they had concuired, at
the expression, and asked the dismissal
OF M. .. Barrot this was successfully
resisted by the minister Of justice, Du-
pont de PEure; whereupon the other
two gave in their resignation, which
was accepted. NJ. M. Cssimir Perrier
aud LATTE were then charged with re-
modelling the Ministry, but they could
not agree in their views, and after some
delay, the arrangement as published
Yesterday, which placed Latte at the
head of the Cabinet, was agreed to By
the King.
This arrangement is understood to
be sanctioned by Lafayette, who as we'll
as OdIiion Barrnt, had, on account of
the vigor they displayed in suppl cssing
disorder and disturbances, and the pop
ul'rIty they thereby acquired, become
obnoxious to some persons. Lafayette
especially was charged with ambitious
views, and by way of contrast with the
title of Louis Philip of Citizen King, he
was called the King Citizen. Happily,
as we believe for France, these Jealous
les had no effect upon Louis Philip,
and he preferred Lalitte to Casimir
Perrler, of whom il is said one of his
hrst acts as Premier would have been
TO displace Lafayette from the COM
mand Of the National Guard.
The Committee of The Peers charged
with the proceedings against the Min
tsters, will not report before the 10Th
November. This report will be read
and delIberated upou with closed doors.
and the time will then be fixed for the
commencement of the public proceed
iDgs.
The King received on the 2Sth Oc-
tober the Minister of the United States,
who had the honor of presenting to
him his letter OF credence. The Min
lster was accompanied by General La
fayette.
Lonlon Oct 30.-The list OF bu,-
nlnes in the county Of Kent, and the
striking and affecting observations on
the condition of the peasanfry in that
important county, which have been
published within the last week, are
calculated to fill the mind Of every
man with equal sffliction and alarm.
In one week Messrs. Knight, AL
drldge, Ash, Cash, Lord Darnley, Mr.
Dawson, the Steward Of Lord Sondes,
have had corn stacks, barns, farm bull
dings, live stock, in one or two instan-
ces dwelling houses, totally consumed
