Art. 7.

The diet shall be presided over by a marshal named by the king, and taken from the first or second order. The members of the states of the Rhenish provinces constitute an indivisible union or assembly. They deliberate in common. Their conclusions on subjects transmitted by the king, or subjects sanctioned by his majesty, demand a majority of two thirds of the voices. Other subjects may be determined by a single majority. If one of the states or orders considers itself injured by a resolution carried by two thirds of the members of the diet, the declaration shall be put again separately to each order, and the question which has produced the disagreement shall be submitted to the decision of his majesty. The same course shall be adopted with every resolution carried by a simple majority, while the minority finds any thing to blame. Art. 8. In order to comply with the terms of the articles from 1 to 5 inclusive, and in consequence of the tribunals of commerce having been suppressed, the political judges of the ports and other parts of Colombia, shall register, within one month, all wholesale and retail dealers, in separate lists.

The following is the substance of the new constitution of the states of these provinces-translated from a Paris paper. Cologne, June 16. The law of the 27 of March last, which constitutes the states of the Rhenish provinces, has just been promulgated. The union of these states shall comprehend all parts of the countries forming the grand duchy of the Lower Rhine and the duchies of Cleves, Juliers and Berg. There shall be four orders: the first to be formed by the states heretofore immediate states of the German empire, the second by the equestrian order; the third by the cities; the fourth by other proprietors of lands not included in the second and third orders. The first order shall be represented at the diet by the princes of Wied-Neuwied, Wied-Runkel, SolmsBraunfells, Solms-Hohensolern Vich: in all four members. The three other orders shall have each twenty-five members: so that the whole meeting of the provinces shall be composed of seventy-nine members or deputies. The members of the first order, as soon as they shall have attained the age of majority, may sit at the diet, or give their votes to members of the second, third or fourth order; but other deputies of the states must personally hold their seats. years Ail motions and propositions, to be deliberated upon by the diet, shall be made in writing. The provincial states, forming a deliberative assembly, cannot correspond either with other provincial states, or with any communes or authorities whatever. The result of the deliberations of the diet, after closing its session, shall be printed and published. The king shall convoke the diet every two years, during the six first years. After that time a final determination shall be made. The city of Dusseldorf shall be the seat of the diet. 1.28,034,784 Total income paid into the exchequer, 1.57,672,999 1,131,121 2,800,000 1,057,000 7,351,991 5,468,151 1,364,328 3,714,639 1.50,962,014 To be elected a member or deputy of the states, it is necessary, 1st, to prove an uninterrupted possession, for ten years, of a real estate, which, for the first order, is described in the royal instruction of the 30th of May, 1820, 62 and 63; and for the second order, to pay an annual tax of at least 75 crowns, to profess one of the Christian creeds, to be at least, old, and to have an irreproachable character. The amount of taxes for the third and fourth orders, shall be determined by a future regulation. There shall be a royal commissary at the diet, an intermediate organ between the states and the king, Surplus of income over expenditure, 16,710,995 to whom shall be addressed all propositions, all de- On the result, which is as flattering as the most sanmands from the deputies to obtain material, &c. ne-guine could have anticipated, we will not further recessary for their labors.

These accounts also contain a return of the value of imports and exports of the united kingdom. The imports, calculated at the official rate of valuation, were, during the three last years, estimated at the following sums: Year ending 5th January 1822 1.30,792,763 1823 20,500,094 1824 35,751,688 The value of the produce and manufactures of the united kingdom, exported during the same period, calculated at the official rates of valuation, was Year ending 5th January The total exports stands thus: 1822 1823 1824 1822 1823 1824 in effecting this gallery. On the lower side of the road there is a wall laid with stone and mortar, with posts 10 feet high erected at intervals to distinguish the road from the precipice, when the whole is covered with snow. The quantity of masonry on this wall and the abutments is immense. The road passes over 264 bridges. Fourteen stone houses are built at certain intervals across the mountain, the occupants of which are bound to keep their stoves heated night and day in cold weather, and a room ready for travellers; the catholics have small oratories on the route. containing each a small crucifix, where they stop and perform their devotions; and near the top is a convent of monks.

It must ever command the plaudits of Europe." [What like this, has Louis, "the desired," accomplished?] The decline during the last year has been principally in the foreign and colonial merchandise exported, which has sunk from 1.9,227,589, to 18,603,904. Upon the whole, the statement is highly gratifying; and, though there is a fluctuation by which the total exports of 1823 are somewhat below those of 1822, yet there is a considerable increase on the average of the two former years. The greatly increased value of the imports during the last year, is a proof that the trade of the united kingdom is steadily and permanently growing. These returns are exclusive of the trade between Great Britain and Ireland reciprocally. The amount and number of mercantile shipping has diminished but very triflingly. The vessels registered in the empire on the 30th of September, in each year, were as follows: LONDON. In the 97 parishes within the walls, 17 parishes without, 23 out parishes in Middlesex and Surrey, and in the 10 parishes of Westminster, during the past year, there have been born and christened 13,945 males, 13,734 females-total 27,679. Buried, 10,455 males, 10,132 females-total 20,587. Among the diseases and casualties, the most striking items are Consumption, 5,012; inflammation, 2,199; small pox, 774; apoplexy, 332; drowned, 118; burnt, 39; suicide, 24; excessive drinking, 6; executed, 22; murdered, 2; poisoned, 6; starved, 1. The burials are stated to have increased 1,722. It is gratifying, however, to remark, that above a twentieth part of the persons who died, had attained the ages of 70 and 80 years-more than 100 exceeded 90 years, 4 had reached to 100, and three died respectively at 102, 107 and 109.

For this cause he cannot do less than feel a peculiar interest in the restoration of a sovereign and a nation, worthy in every view to enjoy that peace and tranquility, of which the turbulent spirit of the present age has long deprived them. "You are not ignorant, my venerable brethren," says his holiness, "that a society commonly called a bible society, is audaciously spreading through the earth, and that in contempt of the traditions of the holy fathers, and against the celebrated decree of the council of Trent, it endeavors with all its power, and by every means, to translate, or rather to corrupt, the holy scriptures into the vulgar tongues of all nations; which gives just reason to fear that, in all the translations the same thing may happen which has happened with regard to those already known, namely, that we may there find a bad interpretation, and instead of the gospel of Christ, the gospel of men, the gospel of the devil! what is worse, "Many of our predecessors have made laws to turn this scourge, and in these latter times Pius the VII. of sacred memory, sent two briefs, the one to Ignatius, the other to Stanislaus, archbishop of Mohilow.

From this channel they may be taken in words and sentences, course of spectators. The procession was then put in motion, agreeably to the order of arrangements. The general rode uncovered, and bestowed through the whole march to the state house, the most complaisant smiles on all around; shaking, most cordially, the hands of those who crowded around his carriage, and took advantage of every pause in the procession to obtain the high honor of a grasp of the hand of La Fayette. ̧ On arriving in front of the state house, the general, for liberty, with apparently inadequate means, and alighted, and was received in a peculiarly interesting amidst dubious omens.

The general was afterwards pleased to express the peculiar and high satisfaction he took in this simple and touching arrangement. On reaching the landing of the stairs, the general turned towards the multitude, and, at the sanie moment, the venerable capt. Stephen Olney, (who often served under the general, and was the first to force the enemy's works at Yorktown, in which he was seconded at another point, almost simultaneously by La Fayette), approached the general, who instantly recognized his old companion in arms, and embraced him in the most earnest and affectionate manner. A thrill went through the whole assembly, and scarcely a dry eye was to be found among the spectators, while the shouts of the multitude, at first suppressed, and then uttered in a manner tempered by the scene, evinced the deep feeling and proud associations it had excited. The general was then conducted to the senate chamber, where he was appropriately introduced to the governor, the members of the committee, town council, &c. After this ceremony, the general came below and greeted, in the most familiar manner, a great number of ladies and gentlemen; among the rest, the venerable William Russell, in his 85th year. Mr. Russell ap-| peared at first scarcely to comprehend the scene; but in a moment, as if the whole had rushed upon his recollection, he exclaimed, in a voice broken by age, and still more subdued by feeling, "Oh my dear marquis, how happy I am to see you once more. I remember well the time I served under you as a volunteer on Rhode Island!" The general was evidently touched, and on this, as on other occasions, the tear started to his eye. He then proceeded on foot to the accommodations provided for him, and, after entering the hotel, appeared on the piazza, and was greeted in the warmest manner. For nearly two hours, he stood in his apartment, and, in the most affable manner, received the congratulations of every individual who chose to be introduced to him. After dinner, in company with the town council, &c. the general prepared to proceed on his journey. And, after reviewing the troops, and receiving many courtesies from the governor and others, he left Providence, amidst the cheers of the populace. He was escorted into Massachusetts by the Cincinnati and a numerous body of citizens on horseback and in carriages; where he was met by the Boston deputation and conveyed on his route. At a late hour he arrived at the seat of governor Eustis, in Roxbury, his progress, however, being very agreeably interrupted by the citizens of the towns and villages through which he passed. Reception in Boston. On Tuesday, at 9 o'clock, a cavalcade of about 800 citizens, mounted on fine horses, proceeded to the dwelling of governor Eustis, where they received La Fayette and conducted him to the city lines, where the city authorities were awaiting to receive him, and on his arrival he was addressed by the mayor in the following terms: SIR: The citizens of Boston welcome you on your return to the United States; mindful of your early zeal in the cause of American independence, grateful for your distinguished share in the perils and glories of its achievement. When urged by a generous sympathy, you first landed on these shores, you found a people engazed in an arduous and eventful struggle tain conflict. In your advanced age you return and are met by ten millions of people, their descendants, whose hearts throng hither to greet your approach and to rejoice in it. This is not the movement of a turbulent populace excited by the fresh laurels of some recent conquerer. It is a grave, moral, intelectual impulse. A whole people, in the enjoyment of freedom, as perfect as the condition of our nature permits, recur with gratitude, increasing with the daily increasing sense of their blessings, to the memory of those, who, by their labors, and in their blood, laid the foundations of our liberties. Your name, sir-the name of La Fayette, is associated with the most perilous, and most glorious periods of our revolution; with the imperishable names of Washington, and of that numerous host of heroes which adorn the proudest archives of American history, and are engraven in indelible traces on the hearts of the whole American people. Accept then, sir, in the sincere spirit in which it is offered this simple tribute to your virtues. Again, sir, the citizens of Boston bid you welcome to the cradle of American independence, and to scenes consecrated with the blood shed by the earliest martyrs in the cause." To which the general returned the following answer: To the mayor and people of Boston: The emotions of love and gratitude which I have been accustomed to feel on my entering this city, have ever mingled with a sense of religious reverence for the cradle of American, and, let us hope it will be hereafter said, of universal, liberty. What must be, sir, my feelings at the blessed moment, when, after so long an absence, I find myself again surrounded by the good citizens of Boston, where I am so affectionately, so honorably welcomed, not only by my old friends, but by several successive generations-where I can witness the prosperity, the immense improvements that have been the just reward of a noble struggle, virtuous morals, and truly republican institutions. I beg of you, Mr. Mayor, gentlemen of the city council, and all of you, beloved citizens of Boston, to accept the warm thanks of a heart which has, for nearly half a century, been devoted to your illustrious city." The mayor then took a seat with general La Fayette in the barouche prepared for that purpose, and the procession moved in order through the streets. A company of light dragoons led the van. Following the carriages in which the municipal authorities rode, were field and staff officers of the militia, and next came a troop of truckmen, consisting of nearly 'two hundred, neatly dressed in white frocks and black or blue pantaloons, with an appropriate standard. The cavalcade of citizens on horseback and in carriages brought up the rear. The most beautiful part of the spectacle was exhibited on the common. The pupils of the public schools, both male and female, were arranged on the side adjoining the mall, in two lines, reaching from Boylston street to the head of the mail, under the care of their respective teachers, and protected from the press of spectators by peace-officers, appointed for the purpose. Between these beautiful lines, the whole military and civil procession passed. gen. La Fayette entered the passage, an interesting When |
