BONAPARTE STILL AT TORBAY. Letters received this morning from TdrSay, dated the tii, state that his Majesty's ship BaUjugop H o N , Vitil BONAPARTE on board, still remains, and without ordet's as to her &titre destitiation. The p ert Ad.: *suiral of 'Plymouth and Lord Kum did not arrive at B/1/1011411111 on the itith, as was expected. His Majesty's'shipt BLAWRII and Mvastmax, having on board the remainder of BONAIPARTeII attendants, re. stain in Torbay, and have been joined by bis Ma jest)'s ship Tuttetrs, ROSARIO, and ICARUS So anxious, say the letters, are the people who have come here from all parts to see NAPOLEON. that upwards 'df one hundred boats have been em ployed all day going off to the BumutoruoN s they are not permitted alongside, but go round her; and as BONAPARTZ IS almost constantly on deck, or in the quarte r -galleries, several who have been off have eome back highly gratified. Last night we received the Paris Papers of Sunday, and this morning those of Monday last. They pr. sent another instance of the impudence of DnvottaT in .the style in which he thought 6t to address the French Army, when it became necessary to order the men to hoist the white cockade. The sum of his address when freed from its veil is simply this : We have always aled ourselves' France,' to the exclusion of every other class of Frenchmen; but others having now got the l upper rind, we must feirs submission, till another opportunity may occur which may enable us again to hoist the standard of rebellion." It is impossible to misunderstand the aim of the army in its affected submission ; but its true character having been held up to the view of mankind by the events of the last three monthi, it deceives itself if it . believes that any regard whatever will be paid to the empty professions of its leaders.—The French army to be disbanded : nor will one of the soldiers of the Allies quit France till this is effected. In dissolving the army the power of its rulers will be annihilated, and proper care will, no doubt, be taken, in the for. matioN of a new one, that no Officer who could teach men to consider perjury and rebellion as virtues shall be entrusted with a commission. ; In the organisation of a new army, such troops as hoe proved their fidelity to his Majesty will probably form the nucleus; but in collecting new recruits it Is possible that ntany.of the old 'Mien may be re . .. 1 ceived into their ranks. In this there is agar for men without homes, inored only to camps, gar risons, battles, robbery, rape, and plunder—all of which they comprehend under the term French Glory. *ill never acquire proper habits or sentiments, and %ill ever be ready to be excited by the smallest spark. In fact, nothing but a long peace, and the passing away of pelf a generation, will ever completely destroy the spirit that has been fostered in the French military by twentydfive years of unpunished crime— " Unpunished" did we say ? Rewarded Cringes will be a more -appropriate expression, if .France is to. retain her unhallowed plunder of nations ! The Allies, after the experience th•y have so dearly purchased, cannot be blind to the danger which may result from the enlistment of the old materials in the new corps, and no doubt will adopt every precaution that prudence can suggest to prevent evil frail flawing out of this source. Indeed, if we are rightly informed, they have resolved, as a security agailent the machinations of men who set oaths and ninnies at defiance, to select three of the strongest fortresses on the French frontier and to garrison them for some time with their own troops. The period ought not I°l be a short one ; nor should these be their only holds. Sound policy demands that they should hold military . possession of France for some years. It would, with out increasing the espences of the French Govern lcssen their own expenditure: for in this respect it can make no difference to France, whether she pay a foreign or a French army; and if the Allied troops be witt.,:rawn from France the respective States must, for ths it individual security, maintain large armies in tiles own countries, and, in that e% eat, at their owls expence.—Would it not be more wise to keep their Urnties in France, where a military force is necessary, than in their own countries where comparatively little , only is wanted ? 1 The Official Journal (Gazette qiicielle), of Menulay, tontains a Decree of the Municipality of Patis, posing an extraordinary contribution on that city' for the maintenance of the Allied Troops. The ameunt is nearly ten million of francso-about,seten millions to be paid by owners of houses and property,, and the remaining three millions by those having a personal income only. The same Paper also contains a Decree to probibit all applications for promotion in the navy, as well sal the army, before the Ist July, ; a Decree ap. pointing new Ministers of the Marine and Colonies; a Decree disbanding all recruits or conscripts, who' have joined any corps since the IlOtts of Match. 18)6, sad all Officers similarly situated;• and a Decree diw' heading all the free corps, and ordering them to db. .

Lieutenant-General Pernety has arrived at Paris with the submission of the Army of the Eastern ry rennees. It is still believed that the Treaty between the Al lied Sovereigns and the King will quickly appear. The travelling of couriers is re-established on all the roads to France. Several soldiers of the Old Guard have entered Paris, crying rive le Roi. By an order of the Prefect of Ile and Vilaine, the /Ireton Confederation has been dissolved. PARIS, JULY 24. There was to-day a grand review of the Imperial and Royal Guards by the foreign Sovereigns who are at Paris. It is thought thit it is on this account that the review of the English troops has been deferred till to-morrow. The town of Nimes submitted to the King on the 16th, in spite of the resistance of a regiment of chem. seurs, who caused much disorder and disturbance. The white flag was not hoisted at Nantes before the 19th, on account of the continual marching of troops, which come by or through that town to the army of the Loire. These troops had shown much turbulence and irritation : and for several days bark the inhabitants did not wish to expose the public tranquillity. Every one who for these 15 years had observed ,Bonaparte in his difficult moments, was convinoed that he wanted that firmness and courage of mind much more rare and estimable than the courage of a common soldier in the field of battle. No one forgets that this great man had completely lost himself on the 18th Brumaire, and when with the army at Marengo, at Elating, at Leipsic, at Waterloo. Authentic details of his stay at Rochefort, and' particularly of his con duct on board the Bellerophon, shew, even to the last moment, that this despot, so proud, so severe in prosperity, is in adversity a low and cowardly being. In vain have officious friends, in extolling the re sources of mind which he affected to enable him to die independent and free, predicted his conduct be fore hand. It is not Hannibal orThemistocles preferring nobly I death to slavery : it is Perseus, the last King of Macedon, humbly asking his life, which induces the judicious Plutarch to say—" It clearly sheaved that he had in him other faults more unmanly and vile, a fault of the heart and fear of dying, by which le deprived himself of the commiseration which is the only point that fortune cannot take away front the afflicted when they have true magnanimity." Like him, Bonaparte occupied himself above all things with the means of saving his life. His repeated supplications to this effect have made his companiins, blush, and excite in the English a surprise which they cannot dissemble. He (Bonaparte) had pretended to draw up a sort of capitulation : they returned his paper without reading it : be grew pale and wept bitterly. The Emperor of Millie, habited in a Prussian uniform, and accompanied by a numerous and bril-' limit suite, visited Marshal Blucher on Friday last, in the Rue de Bourbon. The Emperor remained about ten minutes, and was received with loud acclama tions on going and returning. To-day the English and Hanoverian army,/0,000 strong, was reviewed at Neuilly. No Journals had arrived from Bourdeaux yester day. On the 17th, this city was still under the. military government of General Clausel . Quarrels break out almost every hour between the troops and inhabitants. TheTheatres bad been shut for three days. • The Corps d'Armee of General Lecourbe has been united to the Army of the Loire,: which will also be reinforced in a few days by the troops of Marshal Sachet and General Lamarque. LA ROCHELLE, JULY IL Four thousand troops, composing our garrison, commanded by General Almeras, wore the white cockade, according to the proclamaticn of the Gene ral.—Since Bonaparte embarked on board the Eng fish ship, there has been no hostilitron their part. Two Captains of this nation came here yeste►day to procure previsions, which were allowed. Tire Ad miral caused - to be restored a pinnace taken some days before the cessation of hostilities. MARSEILLES, JULY 111. (F.:tract front a Private Letter.) la I have just arrived at Brignulles. Marshal Brune arrived this morning, and found there the 35:11 regiment. Immed;ately.he convoked the authorities, and gave orders that rn extraordinary contribution should be raised, the respective quotes of which were not known at my departure. The triecoloured ' standard has been replaced by . the black Rag : the, Officers of the 35th regiment have assumed black cape : seditious cries are beard on all sides.

Mr. WILLIAMS, the Messenger, arrived this morn , ing with dispatches from the Duke of Wautacrron and Lad CMTLIIRRACIII.

In the vicidity of Meta the're .. has been a goyim action between the Prussians, who were ad; *fratiting, and the rebel French garrison of that far *est. The latter nude a desperate sally and drove - tie / Pritssians back upon Longwy ; but hiiing been : joined bythe French inhabitant: and - NstionalGuard4 : the Prussians rallied, and once more cooped hp the• rebels in Metz. If some signal examples are not made by XVIII. of his rebel Generals, we apprehend that it; will be long before his peaceable subjects are'ffeed from the dreadful scourges which the rebel unapt *are, likely to prove. The Prussian blood shed on the above occasion, for 4nstanee, ought to be instantly avenged by the decimation of the whole garrison of : Metz. For whom are these miscreants fighting? Surely not for theiifellow Citizens, for the latter ge aerally join the allied troops against them. Leniency to such shameless brigands is most culpable policy. We make the following extracts : BRUGES, JULY 18. The landing of troops at Ostend has begun again with fresh activity. The day before yesterday there arrived here a detachment of Scotch Dragoons moun tecfon very fi ne grey horses, as well as a detachment of Artillery, which were followed in the night by th.! 25th regiment of foot ; and yesterday by a part of 6th Dragoons, the 62d regiment of foot, and some Scotch. All these troops are proceeding to Ghent, whence they proceed to their furthef destination. The 26th battalion of Militia, coming from Antwerp, ar. rived here to-day, and waits for orders to proceed to theirontiers of Franc?. BRUSSELS, JULY M. The Hanseatic Legion, composed of the contin gents of Hamburgh, Lubeck, and Bremen, arrived here this morning. These troops, which have a fine military appearance, are ordered to St. Denis, near Paris. Yesterday will be a remarkable day . in the annals of the city of Brussels ; never, at any period of our history, was such a transport of joy seen. In the streets there was but one cry ot + 46 Bonaparte is in the power of the English I" People seemed to congratu late each other that the enemy of the repose of the world was reduced to the inability of doing evil.— Tbe whole city was illuminated. Bonfires were lighted in the streets. BRUSSELS, JULY SS. The Belgian artillery, which has so greatly dis. tinguished itself this campaign, is now in the Bois de Boulogne, near Paris, and yat scarcely six weeks have elapsed since the French papers announced, that , the Belgian troops waited impatiently for an oppor 'lanky to join Bonapirte's Eagles, and that one regi ment would be sufficient to conquer Belgium. Their Majesties are expected on Saturday at the Palace of Laken. LILLE, MIX Is. Count Bournsont entered our city yesterday amidst the acclamations of the people, who were frantic with joy at returning under the government of the King. At the first moment it was not possible to 'preserve from the rage of the people sonic duals, notorious as Jacobins or Bonapartists. They have had to support the first consequencts of the po pular fury. Their houses were surrounded by a crowd, and the windows all broken ;- in short, they were molested in all kinds of ways. LUXEMBURG, JULY IS. The Prince of Hesse Homburg, the Governor of this city, bad advanced, since the Ist of this month, at the head of our garrison towards Longwy, which was summoned to surrender : the Governor having refused, bombs and shells were thrown into the place, which set fire to many houses. In the night of the 12th a large body of French troops sallied from Metz. and suddeßly attacked the Prussian troops, who though taken by iurprise, de fended themselves vigorously, but soon overpowered by numbers, they were forced to fall bu'k. Towards evening some fugitives, wowided, and ,baggage, ar rived here. An alarm being spread In the city, two battalions of militia took their arms, and asked to march against the enemy. While this was passing, the country people jcined the Prussians, the French were repulsed on all sides, and our troops resumed the positions which they had for a moment abandoned before Longwy. Yesterday at two o'clock a Cabinet Council Was held at the Foreign Office, which sat till past tour. Lord SlDSlotalt came to town yesterday awning from Richmond, to attend the Cabinet Council. Yesterday morning at halt.past eleten o'clock, the PriOteSSCHABLOTTit of WALeas left Carlton House to proceed en her war to Weymouth. Yesterday th e Magid' of ANOLIBIZA was sufficiently to be able to take an airing in his carrier, and proceeded to pay his respects to the Panics Recast at Carlton House about one o'clock ; he was assisted oat of his carriage on crotches by his brother, Sir E.

We shall be happy to reeord the name of the gallont captor of the other eagle, if any of our military readets will haire the goodness to furnish us with it. The Public have already admired the noble sim plicity and heroic tenderness of the Duke of W EL. L11401'011% letter to Lord AIIERDtEN. His genertliis consolation has soothed the roofings of others Who have lost relations on the glorious day of Waterloo, especially when the Officers who fell had long been so near to him, that he coild .observe their virtue, and fully estimate their loss. Tile Duke has written a letter with his own hand to .Mrs. Catalano, the mother of that brave Officer, in %elicit he offers the only consolation which the heart can On such an ioc casion receive—theassurance of the sense entertained by the great Commander of Colonel CANNING'S Vir tues and services, and of the esteem and tegtet of ' the most distinguished Officers whose dingere and glories he had shared. • • ~ Sir HENRY Etaas, of the 23d or Welch 1 4 'Osileeri, who clos.ld an illustrious career on the Plaint of W A . .. terloo, was an officer young in years, lint Old in honours, and who e military acqhirements justly en titled him to look forward to the highest rahk (f hie profession. His services in the West Indies, Hollaild, Egyir, the Peninsula, and France, / can only be ap preciated by those whose greatest pride is to have * been under his command. Six times severely wound . - ed, he terminated a life devoted to his Coontry,' at the head of a mist distinguished corps, in !Wei he had passed through every gradation, and to whose high reputation he had larlely contributed. Beloved and respected by his o:ficers —adored and reirared by his men, the name of Itaus•will long live-in'the grateful remembrance elf his regiment . . ' Deeillfte: grotted in civil as in htilitary • life, his hatife Ay; Worcester, has to lament her brightest ornamerte.- - -- Although his rank precludes him from a Mtn:bal.:A in Westminster Abbey, the gimple Tablet erected by his brother Officers, and consecrated by their aff,c tion, will be the fairest Tomb to the Memory of so inestimable a character. The field library carried by Bona Matt with hint during the last campaign, and taken on the 19th Jute, at Charleroi, consisted of the following works : '1 he Bible, Homer, Manon Lestaut, Boisuet, - Ls Pueelle, the' History of Henry IV. the Conspiracy of Menai, La Patie, (poem by Denny), the Anarchy of Poland, La Fontidoe's I ales, History of the Progress and Doentfill df the RoMan Pepuhtts, Don Quisotte, Treaties of Peace by Martens, Gil Ws., Me morial of the Revolution 'Devil upon Two Sticks, the Revolu tion of Corsica, the Antuteinents of Spa. So confident was BONAPARTI of Success A the ever ' memorable battle of Waterloo, that late even as six eclock in the evening, he was heard to declare that he shotild that night certainly sleep at Brussels : but Pholarne propon, mai: Dies &pots. Situated on his temporaty platform, erected of wood, and so ele vated that lie could see around him-to the ettent of thirty miles or more, BONAPARTM first heard of the approach of troops on his left. Satisfied, hoivever, that they were his expected reinforcements; he gave no heed to the repeated declarations of his Generals. that they were the Prussians. He was at length ti• du:ed to direct an Aid-de-camp to node: through ii,s glass the colours, and ascertaining them to be really Ptussian, BosataitTa, in theattmost tage, exclaimed, se Then all is lost : let every one take care of himself." Upon which he left the platform, Mounted hii horse, and scampered off. The expression in Hot:APAR - ries letter to the Pima: Resenr, 16 tos'amoir :ur les fern." coming to seat himself at the hearth, is singularly happy and cha racteristic—bespeaking that characteristic hospitality which was anciently accorded by the heathens to those who placed themselves under favour of the household goddess Vesta, whose more particular sta tion was the hearth. This retuge not only gave a tide to personal security, like the sanctuaries in ti 6 - middle ages of Christianity, but alio established a claire' to hospitality and protection. There is a fine exemplifieatibn of this ancient custom in Stinet4 SPURS% Tragedy of Corielabus; but the Roman Chieftain seeks and finds the protte.tioa in a fofin More appropriate to his character under the 'tattle of ire God of War, in the hall of his Volecian iital t Tonmos Ammo.
