They write irons Sivitzerland, that her Royal High ness the Princess of Wales, after having made a little tour to Mount St. Gothard, to visit the devil's bridge and what else is remarkable in the country, arrived on the 16th August at Lugano. Her Royal Highness as soon as she arrived went to the Franciscan church, to see the fresco paintings of the celebrated Luini ; she examined the bas reliefs of the porch of the prin cipal church, and continued her journey on the 17th. VIENNA, AUGUST 26. It is said by some persons of respectability here, that a great Power strongly insists on the integrity of France; this principle meets with much opposition on our side. For some days past the exchange of couriers between this place and Paris is very active. Couriers have also been sent to Constantinople. GHENT, SEPTEMBER 7. Their Majesties depart this morning for Bruges, followed by our regret and our love, and leaving us lull of gratitude. The King reviewed the troops yesterday, and ex pressed his satisfaction at their fine appearance. He afterwards visited the citadel, and rode slowly on horseback through the principal streets of the city, surrounded by his people, or rather his family, whom he saluted with the greatest affability as they thronged about him. • WARSAW, AUGUST 24. The Russian Imperial Guard, which had arrived in Lithuania, has received orders to halt. The ceremony of taking the oath of allegiance in the departments, districts, and towns of Poland, is now over.

THE SUPPRESSED PAMPHLET, ENTITLED li DES RE VOLUTIONAIRES ET DU MINISTERS ACTUEL." Louis XVIII. has re-entered his capital ;—the scourge of war, the enemy of nations, has fallen a second time to rise no more. Avenging PROVIDENCE has driven the encrnies of the King,to separate them selves from his people, and the basest of treasons has hadewith respect to the traitors themselves, no other result but to unmask th to the whole world, and to mark them out for the punishment which they have a thousand times deserved. This King, the object of so many regrets and so many tears, has been conduc ted back to us by a holy leave of all Sovereigns ; civilised Europe has triumphed over the last effort of.l the modern barbarians ; to establish order, justice, religion, every thing that is held most sacred among men, are the objects for which she declares she took up arms ; she is still, in a certain sense, united in the midst of us to aid us with the strength of her armies, since the soldierslwho ought to constitute ear strength have declared themselves at war with us, and w.th the human race. The revs/salon is oboist to ad, we hear from all sides'; .that revolution the activity of which was never more terrible, more dangerous, than during the short period of the restoration. Eight days parsed in a sort of delirium, and all on a sudden a profound dejection, . a consternation greater than any we hive formerly experienced, succeeded to these pleasing and exhili rating emotions. Dispersed only by the tempest which should for ever have annihilated them, the impure elements of the revolution, already collected by able and fatal bands, appear to enter into new ar rangements ; intrigue has been substituted for force, *which .no longer- exists, .and snares ate laid where daggers cannot be employed. Anxious before every thing to enlighten and to per suade those noble Allies on whom our destinies at the present moment appear to depend, I cannot place them stt once in the,midst *of this revolutionary laby rinth, the entrance'to which they scarcely know, and tar less its outlets. It is in France, and in France alone, that the French revolution is well known. The error of the Allies which costs us so dear, con sists in the persuasion that the tyrant being once over thrown, the revolution ends with him, as if he were its crew or, as it the existence of this revolution were identified with the destinies of one man. Its roots are deeper—lifinaparte was only one of its number.; less agtnts, and although he might be believed for a moment the soli: heir of the great criminals who re ceded him,he le.s passed away leaving his sword and mask to those who are called to succeed him., . The distinguishing character ot the French Revo lution, that character which is unique in the annals of t h e world, is ailleisra ; and the first madman who declared there is no God, was likewise the first revo lutioni.t. Atheists weaved in broad day foc the first time in the 18th century, an epoch doubtless the grandest in hunian history, if its grandest epochs are those which embrace the greatest misfortunes of hu tu:,,,ity. They-attacked every thing, because every jubtitution of social ureier is founded on the belief of S a Deity—they poistSned every thing because they att dressed themselves, to the passions which it is the office of religion to repress. Always divided among themselves in the times of their bloody anarchy, as ferocious against each other as wild beasts, these fac tious men united instantaneously, as if by a sort of instinct, as soon as the royalist party appeared to re vive, and this instinct was tear. Fear, in short, fear alone, as soon as they had arrived at the conviction that their demagogic system, their tnmultuary le gislation threatened to fall, and to involve thoinelves in their ruin, determined these fierce republicans to create for themselves a sovereign of their own stamp; a sovereign who should afford them, in his own crimes, a sufficient guarantee for impunity in theirs. A low born stranger presented himself, he plunged his hands in the innocent and sacred blood with which theirs were imbrued, and from that moment they surrendered themselves to him without reserve, pre pared for every attempt, resigned to every command, able to support every thing excepting the return of legitimate authority. It was at this singular epoch of the Revolution that the spirit of the Revolutionists might have been tho roughly known, by those who bad talents to observe it: it was then that the most profound abysses of their wicked hearts might have been fully sounded. They saw, with a sort of stupefaction, a tyranny al ways increasing, and every day consolidating, in which the agents employed by the tyrant were scarcely less tormented than his victims. The usurpation having become a reciprocal guarantee between the master and his slaves, they gave to this conspiracy. contrived against all society, the whole of the ap pearances of civilized society. Decrees of spoliatios, arrets of death, of conscription, &c. issued from the Palace of the Tuilleries, received, in passing, the sets vile acclamations of the Senate, and traversing France with the rapidity of lightning, arrived in the Prefec tures to obtain their terrible execution. From the bosom of the Prefectures issued forth those ominous troops of clerks and gens d'artnes who explored the cities and the country, snatching from the poor their last crown, and tearing from mothers their last child. Within the enclosure of the Prefectures were drawn, measured, and numbered, those innumerable flocks devoted to slaughter; there the lamentations and groans of the victims perpetually resounded, mixed with the abuses, and what is still more insupportable, the raillery of their executioners; in a word, there commenced that desolation of France which was finally completed in camps and hospitals. Ttie most sacred laws of nature were violated ;pits., sons, tortures, fetters, fire, were an employed, to sr.' rive at the grand object of an administration, whom only science is to sandy ones and atessris Barbaro.' recruiters and unrelenting collectors, at the same time that they renewed every year the ranks of the army, and repaired unceasingly the deficiencies in the finale ces, the Prefects (it is of importance to mike them known) became chiefs of bodies of spies, and filled the fortresses with prisoners ; they watched over the public schools to enforce the execution of those rules which corrupted youth ; they watched the ministers of religion to cover them with opprobrium. to de :troy or to direct their influence ; they watched over the whole populatiop to mislead it, to corrupt more it and every day, and to keep it in continual alarm. While the interior was thus delivered over to violence and espionage, the army, like theiwaortals of the great King, supplied unceasingly, renewed by that mane facture of soldiers which was wrought with such ins fernal art, afforded a still mere surprising spectacle, and being employed to complete abroad this office of destruction, carried from one end of Europe to the other fire and sword, overturning thrones, desolating nations, and humbling Kings. • Tn vain were the greatest part of the States of Europe shaken and subjugated ; there existed At its most distant extremity a great State which still sup ported the vast edifice. • He must assemble his sol diers from the tropics, and conduct them to the polar circle to overturn this State; but there was that colossal power itself shivered, before which, to use the expression of the Prophet, the whole earth was silent. The tyrant falls, the Allies, all whose capitals he had invaded, enter Paris, and the whole of France, which for a long time past possessed not the union of the social order, is tossed like a confused tulle, and falls dividetrin an instant, into four very distinct parties; the people, restless, unsettled, exas perated, appearing to prefer every suffering to the terrors of the oppressor from whom they had been delivered ; the numberless agents of the tyranny who lost every thing and feared every thing ; the repub licans and other political innovators, divided among themselves in principles and opinions, but unanimous in one dogma, that the worst possible goverhment was imonarchy which numbered fourteen centuries of existence and prosperity ; and lastly, the royalists, a feeble body in the midst of this disorderly crowd, who demanded, along with their legitimate Prince. the ancient monarchy in Might and majesty ; and religion, . without which neither monarchy nor any other society can exist. They proceeded, fluctuating in this uncertainty the cry of rate kßoi was hazarded by some faithful. subjects; it increased by degrees; it was promoted from mouth to mouth ; it became a gencral accla mation, which resounded in the ears, and decided the reestablishment of the Bourbons. Our hypocritical tyrants early insinuated themselves into the Cabinets, while we were assembltd in disorder in the public squares ; they were entering into treaties while we were uttering acclamations of joy. By this means it was decided, that the agents of the Government which had just been overthrown, the only persons capable of supporting the weight of the Government which they have constructed, should remain in all situations of trust, in the Senate in the Army, on the Bench, and in all the O ffi ces oiAdministration. The people, as we have said, were at first led by the royalists ; the republicans at the same time united with the agents of Bonaparte, and the four original parties thus formed only tioo, which remained for some moments viewing each other, waiting till the first operations of the Hew Government should com. mence. The effect was disastrous ; the traitors had foreseen it. Scarcely was the fatal plan developed, which, preserving the administrative system eta- Wished under the Imperial Government, preserved at the same time all the agents of w!iich that hierarchy was composed, than all on a sudden that rapid and unanimous movement wtkil impialed the whole po pulation of France towards institutions purely mo narchical was arrested. (I o k continued. ) PAPEI WAR.. A PRETENDED ANSWER OF THE ALLIES TO THE PRETENDED REPORT OF MUCKS TO THE -KING. , M 11.1.0.. Since the revolutionary war, the devastation of most Continental States by Frenchmen, has been much more ruinous than the devastation France now in her turn suffers, from much injured and provoked invaders. In France, as has been the case in Italy, Spain, Germany, Portugal, and Russia, every thing is not ruined, wasted, and destroyed ; witness the splendour and security .f Paris, and of those depart ments occupied by the Allies. France suffers, at present, more from Frenchmen than from foreigners. France will obtain peace when France proves herself pacific. Guilty Frenchmen alone fly at the approach of foreign soldiers, whose discipline is strict when it is compared with the discipline of Frenchmen in fo:: reign countries. No forests are filled with the inno ceet and loyal, but with French anarchists, free corps, and other banditti. The foreign soldiers assist the husbandman to gather the crops; not like French men abroad, for their own use, but for the use of the owners of the ground. If this war should assume the same barbarous character as the war of French men has every where done, it is solely to be attri buted to perfidious Frenchmen, not listening to the voice of any authority. It is a bold and undeserved insult to the Allied Powers, to allow any doubt of their magnanimity. They have never, like French men, derived any advantage from useless evils, and it is not the fault of France, especially of the princi pal Ministers of the King, if the usual bonds of con nection between the nations of Europe have not long ago ceased ; and that the reconciliation of France with Europe was impossible.as well as impracticable. To these counsellors of his-Majesty, and their accom plices or instruments in the provinces, ought exclu sively to be imputed the instability of his government, that his authority is compromised, and that his power is impotent and even odious. They want to rule with or without a King. When the Allies condescended to permit Louis XVIII. (then vacillating OR his throne) to sign, as an Ally, the Treaty of the 25th of March. he had indeed admitted into his councils dangerous and profligate men, but no regicide had as yet been seated by his Majesty at his councikable.. much less admitted into his closet. The influence of such men is a severer punishment on good Frenchmen than any bad ones can suffer from the Allies. They are now punished by the same unfeeling inhumanity of nearly the same unfeeling men, who have, since 1789, overwhelmed France and Europe with so many calamities. They talk of the ambition of one man ! What could be have effected without their sugges tions and support; their Reports, Memorials, and Senatus Consultum ? They were never , his victims; but always his accomplices; sharers both of his power nod of his spoils. It was at Moscow and at Leipzig, and not at Paris or in France, that terror troubled the usurper's repose. Were not these wars national, that were undertaken according to the decrees of the first constituted French Authorities, and supported by nearly a million - of French soldiers ?As all these wars were notoriously unjust, their approvers . and their supporters cannot properly be called the instruments, but the accomplices of their criminal chief. An up start tyrant would never find sufficient force in the multitude, without such artful deceivers, and unprin cipled accomplices. No subsequent reverses of such a guilt in power, can compensate the injured for their sufferings by its horrid excesses. Nothing proves more the want of all humane, honest, and patriotic sentiments, than the conscription decrees of these ac complices, who sacrificed even their own children to their ambition and cupidity, though by it they rivet ted the galling iron fetters of their countrymen. To them alone the mourning and calamities of Europe must be imputed,and theydare to speak of reproaches ! —reproaches to convicted robbers and murderers ! ...reproaches to.regicides ! What a barefaced impu dence ?—A decree of the" King has disbanded the army ; it nevertheless exists in defiance of his Majes ty's orders, but in obedience to the plans of his worth less counsellors, to rule their King by the terror of their army. 1-19 w this army is attached to peace and public tranquillity, these; by its ravaged departments, hive more than once proclaimed. its existence and re-union are real evils to France, and incompatible' with the safety of other Stares. As long as the Al. lies remain in France, the return of the soldiers into the bosom of the people would be attended with no danger, as the presence of the victorious strangers would soon oblige them to resume their former occu pations and habits ; but after their absence, when no one has power to extinguish fermentation and to esta blish obedience, the mingling the soldiers with the citizens would be .only throwing new inflammable matter into the same flames that have so often me naced to consume the liberty and prosperity of Eu r.pe. It is indeed grievous to think, that the actual state of things originates from the mistaken lenity of the Allies in 1814, and from their erroneous belief, that the morals of France resembled the morals of the rest of Europe. The pact, and especially the re cent events, thew that the fulfilment of their desires, " the rafdy aid quid of Europe," depends on' other measures than those granted in 1514; and that the means of avoiding new and greater calamities, are only found in rendering France impotent to inflict them. Such is the disposition, sock the wish and interest of every one of the Allied Sovereigns. But if, on the ether hood s they should wish the obtaining of preparatory means for unknown plaus, they have more than adequate means to enforce their wishes. The blind obedience of Frenchmen to the lowest and worst of tyrannies, that of Robespierre, of Barran, .and of Bonaparte, shews the Powers, that there e,," be no danger in concealing designs which policy m a , yet require to be secret. • It is however, well knowr, that they only want indemnity for the pad and securi:: for the future; and should loyal Frenchmen not knns..,. what idea they ought to entertain of his Majesty% " Government and authority, and the future," the iglu ) . ranee comes from the influence of bad then near the throne. It cannot do otherwise than inspire anxiety and suspicion, and to render every thing a subjectoi terror. What other feelings caa emanate from this . influence of perverse terrorists in the State ? All the measures of the Allies have the same object ; tend to consolidate the power of the King, and o w tranquillity of France and Europe. Their genertin-, conduct is evident, and wants no explanation. are due time all their demands, as so many conditions it the repoie of nations, will be brought forward, a.:d the concession of France to their views will mak part of a reciprocal treaty. The Sovereigns besr o ,,, attention to•their own interest only so far as it is fleeted with the general interest of Europe ; and at long as their soldiers assist and protect the cult; they must find means of subsistence, which, the dispersion of their troops will insure. All :•:•:.3 will be taken away in France by the Allies, as t . were always by Frenchmen in foreign countries ; k death and military execution shall immediately low every murderous deed. As relatively nothi:i has been destroyed by their soldiers, the warlike can. tributions can easily be paid ; they are no sacrifices, but merely a trifling atonement for the immense e. torsion of Frenchmen in all States, where their at. mies have penetrated. Notwithstanding the Feriiow, example set by France, the victories of the Aliisv have not relaxed the discipline of their troops, who will return to their native lands uncorrupted even by Gallic seductions. This war is distinguished in every respect from the wars of France. It has in view tisc happiness, not She misery of mankind. It was ne. cessity and .philanthropy, and not a vain glory that armed the Allies; though as yet none of their just desires have been accomplished without obstacles from those they had vanquished, who represent and complain, when they ought to submit and obey. Who are those that dare to mention a contrast between the conduct and promises of the Allies ? Grand mai. nals, with whom nothing was even sacred, and frnit whose perfidy Europe has endured as much as from their cruelty.—At no period of the civilized was:, have more atrocities been perpetrated, or mankind been more oppressed, than since Gallic sophists an hypocrites proclaimed their pretended liberal Deis their age of reason and their rights of man. Tht public opinion that could approve of such fallacies and of their consequence, such enormities ought to be tolerated, much less respected by Pr;ne•F in defence of the cause of legitimacy and of • They cannot be satisfied with the punishment single individual, as long as his accomplices in ;a sporting with the calamities of nations are at kg. and in influence to execute new violences and habitual inhumanity. Had the King's authority b:y duly respected, and had Frenchmen been dutiful urn quiet, the entry of the Allied Sovereigns into I',n might have put an end to the war. But the deg:4 dation of the Monarch by the criminals who t rce. themselves into his councils, and disseminated con!1 Ilion and anarchy to keep their usurped places, ten dered some severity necessary, as long as 'peace wa unsafe. Besides, the evils inflicted by France on other were much greater, and of such a dark chanc e: that they could be inflicted by Frenchmen ale:IL They took place in the midst of peace, often in countries of the friends of France, or of nentrao without combats and without reaistance : and the use of arms had no other object than the gr.tt , l: cation of French vanity and cupidity. The Al it are, therefore, far from imitating what they pis perly impute to Frenchmen as a crime. It is incite too well known, and it will indeed be long remen beret!, that the want not only of moderation, but every sentiment of honour and humanity of Gall.. invaders, humbled and crushed both the North an , the South, both the East and the West, and that sus barbarous provocations called forth ie dormant Ibt not extinct spirit of patiotism, of the oppressed. Their few and momentary acts of retaliation Cl not be called a vengeance for years of unheard. calamities—calamities that had for object to mai them assent being erased from the list of tions, and to render all Europe France, and thus prove that nations may die in modern as well as ancient times. They were, however , quiet, tint 'thanks to French arms and policy, they had no long any thing to preserve—not even the hope of ma. taining their names as nations ; but no sooner h , they lost almost every thing, and their ruin was Iwo confirmed, than a new order of things, a new Eel of events arose. An ardent patriotism took place of resignation; and France, respecting no b . 'eminent, and renouncing all obedience, felt in b turn some of the evils of war and of conquest, 'boy the steps of her invaders were marked with no 0 . 0. blood than that of a resisting undisciplined solde and of other armed rebels. of f ia t F ir ra a nce dee w u i l s i h it e e s i t h o eni de se st i r v o e y s hwerithseltfhie their athsseayssiicotik, the rebel army ; if the King removes, .ind his fur tionaries quit their places, t he Allies will tio l obliged, by a military rid., to prevent 4 Catagrer. more fatal to France them to themselves. 134'.,11 then to the evil advisers of his Majesty. %Yoe.' to those men of blod, with whom originate sue!! ti common wretchedness.
