the crisis we have now happily got over
was at an end. AT this time my consci-
entious love Of public order is satisfied,
but | cannot say the same ofmy consci-
entious love Of liberty. We must all re-
collect the programme announced at the
Hotel de Villc-a popular throne, sup
ported by republican institutions. 1t was
accepted, but we have not all put the
same construction upon it; it has not al
ways been Interpreted by the councils OF
the King, in the same sense in which it
was understood by me, who am more i'm
patient than others that it should be real
lied; and whatever may have been my
personal indie tendencies in all situations,
feel myselfat the present moment more
at my ease in discussing my opinions with
you. For the rest, there are points up
on which we shall always be III accord,
we shall ever be united against our enc
mics whether at home or from abroad
still think, that i'll the measures taken
in the Revolution of July, we not only
did that which we verify believed was tor
the best, but that we did all that was pos
sible to be done ] am the more convin-
ced of this, since have become intimate
ly acquainted with the parsonage we
have placed on the throne. On throw
ing of my uniform, l have not changed
my motto, "Liberty, Public Order. -
Besides, how many legal means we have
of expressing our thoughts, and making
our wishes known; for there is the Irib-
ute of this Chamber, and for every citl-
zen there is the press, which has render
ed the country so many services: and
then there is the peaceable mode of petit
ions. Having thus yielded to my desire
of laying all my sentiments before you, l
trust | shall still and ever retain your es-
TEEN and friendship"
Extract of letter from Paris, dated Jan. Il
"Last night couriers arrived here from
81. Petersbrgh and Vienna. The EN-
peror of Russia it is said, announced Of
ficially to the Government here his in
tention of marching large army to put
a stop to the Revolution in Poland.-The
temper of Louis Philippe, or rather OF
his Ministers, is well known. Non-in-
reference is the order Of the day; and
rest assured, the same policy will be OBJ
served towards Poland as to Belgium
Great Britain will do well if she pursucs
the same line of conduct; nor is it cxpec-
ted here that the Wing Ministry will de-
viate materially, with regard to Cont
mental Powers, from the system laid
down by their predecessors in office.
SENTENCES UPON TIE EX.MINIs-
TIERS.
We have just received from our own
Reporter the sentence passed upon the
State prisoners, whose trial has excited
so much interest in France, and through
out Europe Our readers will learn with
satisfaction that their lives have been
spared, and the friends offrecdom will re-
joice that its final triumph has thus been
spared a stain, which, however it might
be the work of justice, would SAVIOUR of
vengeance. The blood ofthese men will
not be shed, but yet large oblation has
been made upon the altar of offended JUS
tice and outraged national rights The
remainder of their days is doomed to in
carceration, and incarceration within the
limits of France. They are deprived Of
all property, titles, honors, and attributes
of distinction whatever, and degraded to
the lowest class Of convicts, suffered to
exist, living monuments of the forbear-
ance of a great, but undying example of
the anger Of trampling upon the Liberties
of free people.
The sentence finds all the prisoners
guilty of "High Treason" upon the
charge of having subscribed the illegal
ordinances; but, because the Charter is
silent, or obscure, as to punishment for
that offence, the Court supplies the omis-
sion by adjudging them to transportation,
which being impracticable out ofFrance,
is changed to perpetual Imprisonment
within its boundary. There is differ
ence between the cases of Prince Polig-
nae and the other threc-that he is con-
demned to "civil death, whereas Peyron-
net, Chantclauze, and G.. Ranvile, are
to be held illegally interdicted" only
They are all to be subject to the costs
of the prosecution before the Court OF
Peers.
At the moment the sentences were pro-
nounccd, the most perfect tranquility pre-
vailed throughout Paris.
POLAND.
Hamburgh papers contain but little
fresh intelligence ofmoment from Poland.
The inhabitants are, it seems, making the
most strenuous cxertions to preserve their
independence; officers, scholars, and e.
ven the clergy are seen voluntarily work.
