London, Tuesday, October ...
'Ve reeeieed the French papers of Saturday last night, All those' devoted either to the Royalist or Constitutional Opposition bave tried their newly recovereel liberty in cri- ticising the measure wMhich de,priveO them of it; but they have not yet'attained that asperity of remark, or that bold- ness of reproof, in which they had indulged before the esta- blishment of the Censorship. 'l'he Moniteur eontainis a Royal decree appointing the Duke de BORDEAUx (oloenel- General of the Stviss Guards. When it is recollected that this military character is only three years of age, his rapid prornotion affrdls ovidence of surprising merit. It mnght have bren expected that he should have got out of the nursery before lie was; called upon to wear a uniform, or to command a corps; but it vould appear that his precocity of talent, or his i'stinct of generalship, has precluded all necessity of atfending to common rules, or following com- rnoti discipline. 1Ve almost feel disposed to pity the Field- Marshals and old Generals who hiave been appoi4ited Aides- de-carmp to his Royal Highness. They must lay their accouot with hard service in following the movements and executing the orders of such an active military Chief. The House of BounnoN may now reck-on itself secure under the protection of a guart so commanded. Had the Swiss been so cbonmanded on the fatal lotli of August, would not the result have been clifflrent? FRENCH FUNDS.-PAR IS, Oct. 2.-Five per Cents. opened at 101.
