" The people have pillaged, devastated, and ravaged three houses, belonging to persons noto riously known to be anxious for war. 46 They afterwards proceeded to Lord Castle reagh, who is at the head of the party decidedly against peace : they sought him every where, and would have certainly maltreated him if they had suc ceeded in seizing his person. •" The public effervescence is carried to the highest degree at London, and the greatest misfortunes are looked for if the Government does not yield to the wiihes so energetically manifested by John Bull." i CALMS, APRIL I'. The intercourse but ween b .:.- tinues as usual.

Two packet-boats, with seventeen passengers and merchandise, coming from Dover, yesterday entered our harbour. Two Polish Offices have arrived here in the packet from Dover s they confirm what We have ,learned every day as to the dispositions of the t rtglish relative to war. They wish to maintain a neutrality in that country. The passage of a personage of rank, who has taken the route of Paris, but whose name is unknown, has added to the impression pro duced by these Poles. The intercourse by the way of Boulogne is equally free, but there are fewer pm sengers than by the way of Calais. , It wai currently reported at Dover yesterday; that BOWAPARTI had resigned the dignity of Emperor. The same report was also brought from Dieppe to Brighton yesterday by the Doggerbank pact, Captain Tawro, who said he was the bearer of Dispatches to the British Government on the above subject. The tricoloured flag was hauled down at Dieppe for a few seconds, and afterwards re-hoisted, as a signal, according to Captain TAbITO, of the above singular event. Desertions continue daily from the French armies : these are chiefly confined to Officers. hOwever; the : following is a communication from Margate on the subject : " Maanais, Mitts 26.—Arriied this afternoon the Union smack, GIANT, from Ostend, in ten boars: She brings an ac- count of considerabk desertion of the French army to the Royal cause, and among than a General Officer of consequence, toge ther with Several others of inferior rani."
