^atutftag to juon*oap"o Vooto. LONDON, SEPT. 1. THE Paris papers to yesterday's date inclusive have been received. Those of Monday and Tuesday are chiefly filled with the trials of Pere Enfantin and the other heads of the St. Simonians (a sect which has lately made some stir in Paris), who were charged with heresy, sedi- tion, and fraud." The first applies to their religious tenets, though not subjected to formal prosecution; the second, to their assembling in numbers above 20 to discuss political matters and the remainder to the tenor of their doctrines, and the unworthy means which the fraternity are said to have used to swell their coffers. The Jury found all the prisoners guilty, and the Court sentenced Enfantin and two others to one year's imprisonment and a fine of 100 francs; but the other two, who appeared to have ceased to hold con- nexion with the society for a considerable time preceding, a fine of 50 francs each only. The Court decreed also the immediate dissolution of the Society itself. The result ap- pears to have given satisfaction, for an acquittal would have Been an undesirable triumph for these miscreants. The chief actor, Enfantin, attempted to justify the doctrines for which he was impeached.—The papers of Friday annonnce another defeat of the Ministers in the prosecution of the press. M. Paulin, the editor, and M. Hingray, the printer of the National, were arraigned upon two several indict- ments, each imputing to them the crime of attempting to excite the people to overthrow the Government. After a long and interesting trial, the Jury, at the conclusion of a deliberation of an hour and a half, returned a verdict of not guilty" on each count of the indictment. This ac- quittal furnishes matter for a mass of triumphant articles in the Opposition papers.—The peremptory orders given to Duke Charles of Brunswick immediately to quit Paris, was the subject of much conversation, as the Ministry had dis- covered that he had been carrying on a secret communica- tion with the Duchess de Berri and the Carlist party, for whom it appears he has been making large purchases of arms, ammunition, &c.—The change in the Ministry was ex- pected to take place in the early part of this month. Prince Talleyrand will remain in Paris until it is settled, before he returns to this country. M. Dupin is said to be certain of coming in. The Brussels papers that have come to hand communicate so political intelligence of importance. The reception of a Belgian Ambassador at "Vienna seems to have given great satisfaction to, as it must necessarily increase the confidence of, King Leopold's Government. The private accounts received Thursday by the most re- }actable mercantile houses from Berlin and Vienna, by the •"landers mail, are of the most pacific description. As long as Francis II. and Frederick William live, there is no fear of peace being interrupted, as both these Monarchs know t'he dangers and tribulations of war by sad experience. The Austrian Ambassador to Switzerland lias assured the Hel- vetic Diet that the Austrian troops in the Tyrol have been assembled only for the purpose of ensuring the Cantons' existence remaining in statu qito. It is asserted that claims are at this moment advanced by the British Government upon the Bey of Tripoli, which if refused will cause an immediate rupture, and perhaps place his territories in the possession of this country. An association is stated to have been formed amongst the planters of Jamaica, the object of which was mutually to bind each other not to employ any persons attending Bap- tist or Missionary Chapels His Majesty held a Levee at St. James's Palace yesterday afternoon, after which he returned to Windsor. The pre- sentations were but few, and the attendance by no means numerous. tarl Grey was received in the most enthusiastic manner on his arrival at Alnwick last week, and was presented with an address signed by 845 individuals. Earl Grey, since his arrival in the country, has intimated that his Majesty has been pleased to allow him to name three gentlemen to be created Baronets; and they are ex- pected to be the Noble Earl's College acquaintances—Mr. Headlam, of Larkin; Mr. C. Willis Rippon, of Stanhope Castle; and Mr. Roddam, of Boylichope. The settlement of the Account on Wednesday passed off without any defaulters. Confidence has been exhibited in the public securities within the last two days, and though business has been limited it was very firm. A rough statement of the situation of the Bank of En. gland, which is supposed to be authentic, represents the total of debt at 27,009;0001., and the total of assets at 44,000,0001. The forthcoming evidence taken before the Bank Charter Committee of the Commons, is looked for with deep inte- rest by the moriied and commercial interests of the metro- polis. Dublin has been entirely deserted by its nobility and gentry in consequence of the raging of cholera there. The Lord Lieutenant took two of his sons to Wales in the Vice- regal yacht, and on his return took up his residence at the Lodge in the Park. Lord Henley has addressed a letter to the King com- mending the subject of Ecclesiastical Reform to his Ma- jesty's earnest attention. The Committee of the Creditors of his late Royal Highness the Duke of York again met on Wednesday. It appears that upwards of 40,0001. of the judgment creditors have been paid, but all the bond and simple contract debts re- main unsatisfied. The aggregate of debts communicated to the Committee amount to 80,0001. A meeting of the creditors of Mr. Maberly was held on Wednesday, when a pretty large amount of debts were proved. The claims against the bankrupt's estate were as follows:—136,0001. unsecured, 74,0001. secured, and 20,0001. disputed—in all 230,0001. At present the estimate is, that not more than 3s. in the pound will be paid, unless some of the bankrupt's affairs should prove more favourable than is anticipated. The Festival of the Stewards of the Sons of the Clergy did not take place this year, owing to the apprehensions en- tertained at that time that insult and violence would be offered to the Dignitaries of the Church who might be pre- sent. The feast is given at the expense of the Stewards to the Heads of the Church, the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, &c., and the collection made after dinner at these usual an- imal meetings averaged 10001 per annum. The omission this year will be a serious loss to the charity, which is for the widows and orphans of clergymen. A Supplement to the London Gazette of Tuesday contains three Orders in Council relating to the Cholera. Thee first is intended to prevent wakes from being held at Wednes- bury, Staffordshire, and empowers the parish authorities to suspend those meetings for the present year; the second prohibits the fair of St. James in Bristol, held in September from taking place, during the same period; and the third empowers the Court of Justiciary, Scotland, to alter or post- pone the period at which the different autumnal courts are now held. There jp, says the Leeds Intelligencer, a favourable move- ment in the general trade of this district. But although quantity is affected, no material increase of price has yet been obtained.—On Thursday, Bradford market was un- usually brisk there was a great demand for fine goods, and 7 2, for the lower fabrics the supply was insufficient. Prices are looking a little up, and the stuff merchants have had a very busy week. Every branch of business at Manchester is described as vety languid, in consequence, principally, of the progress of go 6 cholera in that town.—The Glasgow Chronicle says, "We have great pleasure in stating that the number of unem- ployed operatives is rapidly on the decrease, few good tradesmen are now idle." The workmen of Manchester gave a public dinner to Mr. Sadler on Saturday, in gratitude for his philanthropic exer- tions on behalf of the children of the factories during the last session. On his entering the town, Mr. Sadter was re- ceived by a large concourse of workmen and children, who formed a procession to greet his arrival. Dando, "the oyster-eater," who has so often got into a scrape at the sliell-fish shops, for gormandizing and notpay- ing for the feast, died of cholera on Wednesday. The parsimony of Lord Kenyon was notorious, and his want of all hospitality the theme of general animadversion. The subject being once started in conversation, in a com- pany of which Cowper was one, some of them observed, that Loifd Kenyon had never been known to give a single bottle of wine to a friend. "But I have (says Cowper) known him to give one to a dozon.rraset', Magazine.
