The King received yesterday his Excellency Lord Amlrassador from his Britannic Majesty,. afterwards the Duke of Wellington. :,I.lrat, it is said, has not embarked, but that, at :, ord only by two domestics, he has taken refuge in psonntains of Provence. It is again reported that the treaty between the Aloes a nd France is agreed upon, and that the sti.' pal:46(lns are as favourable as can be hoped for.

It appears, that being pursued by the he blew out his brains. His corpse was then I:l:tilsted and thrown into the Rhone. Gaeta' Debelle, included in the Ordonnance of I:dtli July, has surrendered, and has been seat to ~'.noble. • They write from .13rionde, that a man had been sent to the prisoyrof that town, who was arrested in a neithbouringcnrumune, where he presented himself as the envoy of Genes al Vandamme to levy contribu. :inns, threatening, in case of refusal, to set fire to the viiiage, and put the inhabitants to the sword. On the 3d of August the Spanish head-quarters e'er: at Inn, and the communications of Bayonne w;:li Spain were nut yet re-established. . GHENT, AUGUST 4. By the last intelligence from Paris, we learn that :la Duke of 'Wellington has countermanded the march 'if the troops under his orders which were marching :awards France: These troops are to remain for the ;resent in Belgium. COI.MAR, AUGUST 6. Weexpect every moment to see a stop put to the dec: of the armistice agreed to between General Le coirbe and the Aestriau General, who commanded a: Ilse .iege cf Before. It appears that the latter in si,ti that this in tress should surrender to the arms of Austria, and that it is only on this condition that chcrior transactions can take place with respect to strong places. The great preparations observed near Brion seem to indicate that this siege will soon be resumed, and tat it will be pushed with great vigour. However, according to the stipulations of the armistice, tliL %%oval of hostilities must be announced ten days be ; mod it is said that this formality has nut' been complied with. . _ •THE EVENING STAR.

The most prominent tinkle is a Report made to the KING by the Minister nn the present state of the French Press.— Toat the Press, ever sir.ce the return of the KING, 1 h:en in daily practice of abusing its liberty, no I!rSnrl in the habit of perusing them can question for a nos:tent, but the remedy proposed by FOUCIIE, is the vnrst that could possibly be devised. In our last our .sniting anticipatid the measure that has been resort '.'to, kind oar Readers know our opinion on the subject. The R I MISt of the liberty of the press in France. so itr it:validating, gives force to our objectiotts against such an abuse of power. It is not by streach. l iug nut the arm of arbitraty power oa such occasions, bit by a proper application of legal remedies, that this evil s!:ould be removed. By the former an odium is 'ougbt upon the Government, and the word of the whirs should ever be held sacred, is violated LY :he latter the Government acquires credit- for frrnoes3, while the veracity of the King is held np to A bad Minister—one who may wish to sink the ebaracter of the Monarch in the estimation of the' People, will recommend harsh, illegal, uneentstitu tic'nal, Unpopular, arbitrary measures. A gooelll4- ni ,. zr will ever find means in the provisions of law tea punishment of delingnents ; or, if a case oc curs, not provided for by existing laws, *ill seek a cnne.itutional remedy for future delinquencies in a I:ess law. He will never ) to save himself trouble, ex- Pcse master to odium and contempt—the neces sary consequence of every violation of law in the e?.:n e of the KiNci. Since the return of the KING no event has occurred treatening so much danger to the stability of big • . throne es the Ordinance he has been induced to issue on the solicitation of Foveae. Pt is absurd to imagine that Prenchnsen cannot be ruled like other people.— It is precisely by this vascalation of government ; this system of expediency; this setting at defiance all those principles of judicial procedure which maintain peace and 'quiet in other countries that Frenchmen are unhinged in their moral energies, and taught to consider law as having existence but in circumstances and in force. Till th e y are taught to consider the law of their country as osanipoient for the punishment of every violation of its mandates, they will despi,e it. Men cannot respect that which has no energy. it ,the weakness of law be once confessed by the substi tution of another power, it can only be despised, and' they instantly begin to weigh the substitute against their own means of destroying it. FOUCHg t or Louis, or his advisers, or all of them, if we suppose they have acted with an honest mind on the present occasion, have shewn themselves mise rably qualified for rule; and their conchict cannot but excite great alarm among the other Powers, as directly tending to revive those revolutionary move ments which have already nearly overwhelmed the edifice of social order of Europe. What hope can be entertained of the happy restoration of social ordel in a country in which the Minister, instead of putting the laws in force, allows them to lie dormant, and re sorts to such arbitrary measures as tormed, during the Revolution, the principal topics for popular decla mation against royal authority. From this Measu: e we are alarmed, greatly alarmed for the prospects which it opens. It Fouctir, by the Ordinance which he has pmcuieil, aims at making the Kixo to be hated, and means to prepare the French for a new tevolutioa, it must be admitted that he could not have • adviled any thing butter suited to gain such an end. Bat have the other Powers no right to interfere ? We rnaatain that they have. They .have shed much preciou, blood—they have expended much wealth to put an end to the anarchy which reigned sn long in France; and they have at right to forbid any one whatever from doing what may eventually defeat the object of their labours, and involve not only France, but their respective States in the horrors of a new war. This is not a subject to he vie w:el with indifference ; and we are strongly inclined to believe, that those who delivered France lrom t t io tyranny cl a Napo.. LEON, and restored the aut'.ority of the KIYC, Wll4 tell the latter, that they can n ot passively look on and see his Minister using an illegal authority which may endanger the peace of the world. A Mall from Hamburgh arrived this morning, but the intelligence brought by it is neither recent nor in teresting. The celebrated GENTZ I who held some thing like the office of Secretary-General or Recorder to the grand Ck..s.gress at Vienna, has been sent for to execute the same to actions at Paris, Madame MU. RAT has a rrand palace in the vicinity of Vi enna. The kJ have sent the Commanders of some of BONAPARTE'S free corps to Siberia, to strike terror into the rest. It is said that a dispatch has !leen intercepted, sent from Paris to the commanders of the French fortresses, ordering them not to sur render to the Allies. There is much duplicity iu all this. We have received Boston Papers to the 19th of July, and New York to the if The Americans are busily employed adding to their navy. The pri soners of war who lately left Dartmoor prison have published a most inflammatory article against Great Britain, purporting to be a report of the disagreeable 9ecur.Vences which took place in that depot previous to their shipment, and in which several refractory prisoners lost their lives. The unprincipled block heads gravely inform their countrymen that the Bri tish coolly and deliherately meditatil a general mas sacre of the American prisoners of war long previous to . the riot and mutiny above alluded to! By an arrival at Plymouth we have received a series of Havannah Newspapers to the 29th of June. They contain no recent intelligence of interest from the Spanish Main. We lament to observe, that car. goes of slaves from the coast of Africa, arrive almost weekly in the Havannah—they are all embarked on Spanisht or at least Jai-di:ant Spanish, bottoms; but we fear there are some British Subjects covertly en- 1 gaged in this nefarious traffic. When we see the ar rival announced, for instance, of a Spanish vessel with 27§ Negroes, commanded by Capitan Don Carams Featirea, we are strongly inclined to suspect this Gentleman to be a British subject. The. Cap. tains of our cruizcrs on the African shores cannot be too vigilant, and we trust they will act upon the hints now given them.—Since the intelligence of the return of BONAPARTE to France, all French vessels.had been prevented saiiing from Havannah.—The island was remarkably healthy at the date of the last advises. The Duke of YORK was doing so well on Satur day, that he was able to walk out in his pleaure grounds at Oatlands ; and his Royal Highness con. Musing free from fever, Sir lita4tiv Ilmsonn hasdis continued his constant attendance.upon him.

It appears that Government relaxed in the orders which they had given respecting the number of persons who should accompany Bonaparte, as Bertrand, whn had been ordered before a Military Tribunal by Louis XVIII. for waging war against France and the Government, was allowed to go with him, with three other °dicers, as ctunPanions.—sSavary (Duke of Rovigo), and General Lallemand, are still cot,. fined in the Bellerophon, at Plymouth. Count • Lobat and Count Casnbrone hue beerr landed and sent on their parole, front Plymouth. Forty persons embarked'with Bonaparte at Rochefort ; nineteen or whom, including women and servants, have gone with him. The ships which form his conveyance and guard are.-- The (113 g ship), Captain C. B. Ross; Ha vanuah frigate, Captain W. Hamilton ; Ceylon (troop ship), Captain A. P. Hamilton; Bucephalus (troop ship), Captain Westrupp ; Zephyr, Captain Rich; Peruvian, Captain J. K. White; Zenobia, Captain Dobree; Icarus, Captain Akron ; Ferret, Captain J. Sterling (c); Redpole, Captain Dituid.su ; and the Weymouth (store sbip)—eleven Madame'liertrand's attempt to drown herielf arose from her. understanding, at the moment, th.st it was intended to deliver up bee husband to Louis XVII I. The fact of the Officers and crew of the Bellero phon remaining uncovered whenever honaparte chose to skew himself on deck, has been denied by many, who could not believe that they would so far degrade themselves ; but it is undeniable. A Gentleman of the grit respectabiky, writing to us on this subject, informs us that having been drawn with the multi tude to see this bloodstained criminal,he one evening proceeded to the ship. His boat had been but a short time alongside, when he observed all hair d; and, at the same time, Bonaparte came to the - larboard gangway, where he remained about five minutes, and then removed to the starboard gangway, to exhibit himself to the boats assembled on that side, for about, the same length of time—all on board remaining, with their hats off till he went below. Some of his Officers remained on deck for some time after, and wore the three-coloured cockade. . • • The following is part of a conversation to which we have before alluded, held with Bonaparte on Wacky last, by Lord Lowther, Mr. Lyttleton, and others He was asked his opinion of the British infantry. He replied—" Long.wars make good soldiers ; the cavalry of both nations, he said, was excellent ; our artillery had derived much improvement from the French. Of the Duke of Wellington, he seemed to avoid giving any opinion. To a question about Louis XVIII. Ile said—to He is a good soil of man, too fond of the table and of pretty sayings : he is not calculated for the French. The Duchess of Angouleme is the only pan in the family. The French must have such a man as myself." One of his attendants, Bertrand, we believe, gave his opinion of the Emp er o r o f R uss ia, that he was a .good man—his heart better than his head—that he did not think him a great man. Boryparte, taking a pinch of snuff, and whiling hit head almost in the face of the speaker, replied—" Ni sssi nme plus," (nor I neither.) He broke out into some invectives against the con• duct of the Allies : called it perfidious, treacherous.' " But you seem to forget that you were in Elba in virtue of a solemn treaty—that no molestation was offered you. yet you left it in violation of the faith of that treaty." Bonaparte replied," 1 was an indepen dent Sovereign—l h a d a r i g ht to make war upon another Sovereign—upon Louis XVIII. if I chose. I did do it, and I beat him with a few hundred men." Touching upon St. Helens, he seemed not only ,i4dignant, but surpriaeJ at being sent there. " 1 • ' . . would have given my word of hon Our to hivi re. inaincd quiet, and• to have held oo political corres pondence in England. I would Item pledged myself :not to quit the place assigned me,but to live as a simple indivjdual."" That seems to be next to impossible ; for though you have had great reverses, you mild never so far foget what you had been as to cra: .ive yourself to be, or conduct yourself as u simple indi vidual." " But why not let me remain in England upon my parole of lion(hir ?"—t , Y,. 14 forget that some hundreds ot French officers violated their parole of honour, and that not ouly you dil not express any indignation against them, but rLce'ved them with ply ticular distinction—Liefttvre sieltes for in. staoce."
