if.'. An edict was also issued;-declaring that whoever should refuse to take bank notes in the course of trade, should forfeit double the amount!. • The continued and vehement opposition of;.parliament to the whole delusive system of finance, had been a constant source of an noyance to the Regent; but this obstinate re jection of his last grand expedient of a com-' mercial monopoly,- was not to be tolerated. The Abbe'Dubois and Law suggested sim ple ’inode; it was to suppress the parliament altogether, being, as they observed, _ so far from.useful, that it was a consthnt impedi ment to the marqh of public affairs. The Regent was half inclined to listen to; their advice; but upon calmer consideration, and the advice of friendg, he'adopted a more moderate course. On the 20th of July, early, in the morning, all the doors of the parliament house were taken possession of by troops. Others were sent to surround the house of the first president, and others ' to (he .houses of the various members, who were all.at first in grcatalarm, until an'or? der from the king was put into their hands, to render themselves at Pdntoise, in the vourser-of two-days,-to-which place4he-par liamenl was thus suddenly arbitrarily trans ferred. This despotic act,, says Voltaire, would at any.othen.tiine have caused an insurrection; but one half of the Parisians were occupied by their ruin, and the other half by their fancied riches, which were soon to,vanish. The president and members of parliament acquiesced in the mandate without a mur mur;, they even went ns if on a party of plea sure, and made every preparation to lead a joyous life in their exile. The musqiietccrs, who held possession of the; 1 vacated parlia ment house, ft gay corps of fashionable young fellows, amused themselves with making .songs and pasquinades, at the expense, of the exiled It g'stators; and at length, to pass away lime, formed themselves into a mock pailLment; elected their, presidents, kings, ministers, and advocates; took- their seats in due form; arraigned a cat at their bar, in place of the Sieur Law, and after giving it n “fair trial,” condemned it to be hanged. In (hie manner, public affairs and public in stitutions were lightly Turned to jest. As to the exiled parliament, it l : ved gaily <u;ii luxuriously at Pontoisc, at flic public cxpcrse; for the Regent bad furnished iuriels, » s 5 s usual, with a, lavished band. The first president bad the mnnsi >n of the Duke de Bouillon put at Ida disposal, all ready fur nished, with a vast and deUg’itful gardenoh tlie borders ol a river. There be kept open h.m.c to all the members of parliament.*s - fables were spread every day, all - furnishcd-l uxuriously^and—splendidlyi-the • most exquisite winesnnd liquors, the choicest fruitsand refreshments of all kinds abound ed. A "number of small chariots for one and fwoborses wpre always at band, for such la dies and old gcntlejncn as wished lo lake an airing after dinner, and card and billing! ta bles for such ns.choose to amuse themselves in that way until supper. The sister.and the daughter of the first president did, the .honors of the house, and he tdmself presided there with an.air of- great case, hospitality, ami magnificence. It became a parly of pleasure to drive Iron Paris to Pontoise, which was six leagues distant, and partake of the amus> iiients and festivities of the place. Business was openly slighted; noth ing was thought of hut amusement. The Regent and his government were laughed at, ami made the subject of continued pleasan tries; while the Enormous expenses incurred by this id Its and lavish course of life more than doubled till 1 lihrrn 1 sums provided.—,, Tliis rvas (lie way in which The parliament resented their cxdcv Daring all this lime the system was get ting more and more ie.VolVtkli The stock exchange had sometime previously been re moved to the Place V’ehdomc; but the tumult anil noise becoming intolerable to the resi dents of that politii rjbartp'r, and especially to the chancellor, whose hotel-was there, the I’rince and Princess Carignan,’ both deep gamblers in Mississippi stock, offered the extensive garden of their Hotel de Soissons as a rallying place for the worshippers tlf Mammon-. The offer was accepted. A num ber of barracks were immediately erected in the garden; as offices for the stock-brokers; and an order Was obtained frorh the Regent, . under the pretext,of police, regulations, that U.i bargain should-be valid; unless concluded in these barracks; The l r ent of ihbuf itbibe illately amounted to a hundred livres a month for each, and the whole yielded these noble, proprietors the ignoble reVenub of half a millidrt of liVres. The niania for gain, howcVcF, Was How at an end; A Universal panic succeeded.— “ 6’tnwe. qtii peut,” was tlie watch-word.— Every one was anxious to exchange falling . paper.for something of intrinsic and pbt-ma-- nent value., Slntc money was.not to be had jewels, precious . Shiites, plate, porcelain, ‘trinkets of all Commanded any price in_ paper. Land was bought at ..fifty year’s purchase, and he esteemed him self happy who could get it even at this pricei .Monopolies now became the rage among the noble holders of paper. The duke de.la Force.liought.up nearly all the tallow; grease ami soap; others the coffee and spices; others . hay anti oats. Foreign' exchanges were al most impracticable. The debts of Dutch - nnd English merchantsyvere paid in this fic titious money, all the coin of the realm hav ing disappeared. All the relatione of debt or- and creditor were confounded, /With one thousand crowns,: one might, pay a debt of eighteen thousand livres! ~ The Ucgcnt’s mother,, who once, .exulted in the affluence of bank paper; now wrote in aVerydifteient tone: “I have often wished,” . ..said, she-.in .Iter, letters, “that these bank 'liotca Were in the depths of the infernal re ' gions..'they have .given’ , my son moretrou ble .than■'relief* - Nobody in France has £ ' penny. • ' My'sun-xvas once popu lar, buti since the arrival of this cursed Law, 'he is hated more and mitre. Not a week, passes xvilhout iny receiving; letters filled with frightfui threats, and speaking of him . as a'tyrant." I have justrcceiyed onethreat ■ cning him .with poison. When I showed it ’ to him he did nothing but laugh.” : In the mean time Law was dismayed .by .- the increasing troubles, and terrified.at thcj tempest he had raised. Hc.was.nota man of real courage} anti fearful for his personal , safety, from popular tumult, or thedespair of ruined individuals, he again took, refuge in the palace of the Regent. The latter, as usual, arotised himself with his terrors, and turned’every new'disaster.. a jest;:but ho, too. begamto.think pf Kis own sccurity. In pursuing the schemes of Law, lie.had, no doubt, calculated to carry through his term of government with ease and splendor, and to enrich himself, his connections and his- favorites; and had hoped»thsit i .the catas trophe of the system Would not fake place until after the expiration of the regency; He how saw.hiS mistake; that it was im-. possible much longer to prevent an explosion; and he-determined at once to get Law nut of the way, and then to. charge him with the whole'tissue of delusions of this paper alchy my. He accordingly took occasion of the recall of parliament in December, 1720, to suggest to Law the policy of his avoiding an encounter with that hostile and exasperated body. Law needed no urging to the mea sure. His only desire was to escape from Paris and its tempestuous populace. . Two days before the return of parliament he took his sudden and secret departure.— He travelled in a chaise bearing arms of the Regeqt, and was escorted by a kind of safeguard of servants, in the duke’s livery. His-first place of-refuge was an estate of the -Regent’s about six leagues from Paris, from whence Jie.pushed.forwartLto. Bruxelles. ... As soon as Law was fairly out of the way, the Duke of Oilcans summoned a council of the regency, and informed them that they were assembled to deliberate on the state of the finances, and the affairs of the India Company. Accordingly La Houssays, Com trollcr. General, rendered a perfectly clear 'Statement, by which it appeared that there were bank bills in circulation to the amount of two milliards, seven hundred millions of livres, without arty evidence that this enor mous sum had been emitted in virtue of any , ordinance from the general assembly of the India Company, which alone had the right to authorize such emissions. The council was astonished at the disclosure, and looked to the Regent for explanation. Push ed to tho extreme, the Regent avowed that Law had emitted, 1 bills to the amount of twelve hundred millions beyond what had been fixed by ordinan ces, and in cdhtradiction-to express prohibitions; that the thing being done, lie, tho Regent, had le galized or rather covered" tho transaction, by de crees ordering such emissions, which decrees he hod antedated . A'storfny scene ensued between the Regent and, the Duke do Bourbon, little to the credit of citing both having been deeply implicated in the cabal istic operations of the system. In fact the sever al members of the council had been amon" the most venal “beneficiaries” of the scheme, and had interests at stake which they were anxious to se cure. From all the circumstances of the case, I am inclined to think that-'others • were, more .to -blame than Law for tho disastrous effects of his financial projects. His bank, had it been confined to its original limits, and left to the control of its own internal regulations, might-have gone on pros perously ,-and-havebeen-agreatrbenofil to the. na tion.' it was an institution fitted for a free coun try; but unfortunately, it was subject tp tlie.cphtrol of a despotic government, that could al pleasure, alter the value of the specie within its vaults, and compel the most extravagant expansions of its pa per circulation. The vital principle of a bank is security in the regularity of its operations, and the Immediate convertibility of its paper into coin; and what confidence could be reposed in an insti tution, or its paper promises when the sovereign could at any moment centuple those promises in tho market, arid seize upon all the money in the bank? The compulsory measures used, likewise, to force hank notes into currency; against the judg ment of the public, was fatal to the system; for credit must be free an<J uncontrolled as the com mon air. The Regent was the evil spirit-of the system, that forced Law on to an expansion of his paper currency far beyond what he had even dream ed of. He it was that in a manner compelled the unlock}’ projector to devise all kinds of collateral companies and monopolies, by which to raise funds to meet the constantly and enormously in creasing emissions of shares and notes. Law was but like a poor conjurer in the hands of a potent spirit that he-evoked, and that obliges him-to go on, (lcsperatelyand'ruinously : ,with bis conjurations. He only thought atthe outset to raise the wind, but the Regent compelled him to raise the whirl wind. ' The investigation of-the affairs of the Company by. the council; resulted in nothing beneficial to the public. The princes and nobles who bad en riched themselves hy.all kinds of juggles and extortions, escaped unpunished, and-retained-thc grealer part of their spoils. Many of the, “ sud denly rich,” who had risen from obscurity to a giddy- height of imaginary prosperity, -and had indulged in all kinds of vulgar and ridiculous ex cesses, awoke as out of a dream, in their original poverty, now .made, more galling and humiliating by their transient elevation. - The weight of thb evil, however,Toll on more valuable classes of society; honest tradesmen and artisans, who’ had been seduced away from the safe pursuits of industry, to the specious chances of speculation. Thousands of meritorious fami lies, also, once opulent, Had bech reduced by in digence by a too, great confidence in government. There was a genera) derangement in the finances, that long exerted a baneful influence over the na tional prosperity; but the most disastrous effects of the system were upon the morals and mapners of the nation. The faith of engagements,, the sanctity'of promises in affairs of business, were at an end. Every expedient to grasp present prrf fit, or to evade present difficulty, was tolerated. Wliilo such deplorable laxity of. principle .was generated in the busy classes, the chivalry of France had soiled their pennons; and honor and gloty, so long theriddls of the Gallic'nobility, had been tumbled to the earth, arid tfatnpled in the dirt of the stock-market; As to Law, the-origifialor of the .system,,lie appears eventually to have profiled but littto by lus schemes; “He was a quack,” says Voltaire, JiTo-whom-the state-was given-to-be. cured; but who poisoned it with his drugs, and who poisoned Himself;” The effects, which he left behind in France, went sold at a IoW price, and the-pro ceeds dissipated. ' His landed estates were 'con fiscated. Ho carried away-with him barely enough to maintain himself, his wife, ahd daugh ter with decency. The chief relic ,of His im mense fortune was a great'diamond, wjiicti he was often obliged 1 to pawn. He-Tvas in England in 1721,and was presented lb George ifiß First, He tetumed shortly after to thb continent; shifting about from place to place, and died in Veniee.in 1729, His wife, and daughter, accustomed to live with the prodigality of princesses, could not con form, to their altered, fortunes, but dissipated the scanty raeims left to them; and sank into .abject poverty. , “I. saw his, wife,” says Voltaire, at “Bruxelles; as much humiliated as she had been haughty and.triumphant at Paris.” An elder bro ther of Law remained'in Frahfce, and was protectr ed by the Duchess of Bourbon. His descendants have acquitted themselves honorably, in varioilS public employments; and one of ltlem ijfllie Binr-i miis Labrlston, some lime Lieutenant Goneraland Peer of France. ; . - ■ . .

About B o'clock on Saturday the 2d inst. a fire broke out in the beautiful ahd thriving village of Springfield in this county. . It originated in a sta ble belonging to Mr. Samuel Rl’Ncal. The wind blew a hurricane from tlio south-west, and in the short space of three-hours, notwithstanding tiro untiring efforts of tire citizens of the town and ad joining country, of thirteen houses, and ton barns and stables with.almost ail their contents, nothing remained but a smouldering ruin. Thus, as it were in a moment, the prospects, hoped, and expectations of a number of enterprising citizens, have been blighted. Col. Josiah Hood, has been tiro principal sufferer, having received a fresh sup ply of goods to renew his stock in store, together with three large and, well finished houses, a barn and other out buildings, were all consumed by the devouring clement. The loss of many others has been great, some being loft destitute even of wear ing apparel. . _ f This is another warning to our citizens to be more cautious in regard to their incautiously hand ling fire in tho immediate vicinity of buildings. Much praiso is duo the ladies’of Springfield and vicinity, for their untiring exertions to pre serve tlie town from a general conflagration. , It has been supposed by Some, that the fire was the work of an jnceiidiary. - DEMOCRATIC MEETINO At a meeting of the citizens of Stoughstown and vicinity held April 29th, 1840, after erecting .a hickory pole of the length- of seventy-seven met, bannered “Van Buren, Johnson and Democracy,” the citizens retired to the house of John Stough, when on motion JOHN REDDICK w-as appoint ed President, Joseph Durnbaugh, Jacob Snyder and Samuel Jacobs, Vico Presidents, and Sarhuel Slough and Joshua Slyner, Secretaries. , ,On motion of John Barnhart, , , _ Resolved, That a Committee of five be appoint ed to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting, whereupon Mitchel..
