IV LETTER of a FR.E.NCHZMN to the KING. Stns—'l i ce eirnts which have occurred during these last fifteen months are unexampled in the annals of history. France, twice invaded by the Powers of. Europe, a-man sprung from the Revolution raised . to empire ' banished and recalled by the nation ; the successor of the Kings of France restored, after 21) years exile, to the throne of his forefathers , and soon sil!tof forfeiting that throne through.the errors of his fantlly and incapacity of his Ministers ; finally, this • same successor of Sings, by the aid of 600,000 fo. teigit troops, invested anew with Royal authority;— l, all these cirturnetances have completed the calamities of our molars. • " For the second time your Majesty is brought into France, which now fixes upon you her fondest hopes. Fifteen tuouths since, you stood forward as the deliverer of yoUr country ; you came attended with peace, you promised a good Constitution, and the people loudly testified their gratitude and their joy. They-were unreserved in th eir affection , and thought not of setting bounds to your power. They adored you as the lather of their country, and wor. shipped you as an idol. With this imprudent but sit cere love, tningled itself the incense of servile and corruptive adulation ; men, who during twenty years had lived distant from the throne and from the dan gers of their country, usurped the place of citizens, wino, dining that period, had exposed their lives in its detence, and who alone should have surrounded your person for the benefit of all. 41 These Nobles of Gothic ancestry enforced on you the persuasion that you were the providence of that nation. of which you were but the first Magistrate: they szt your will ;Utile room of the laws—your inte. tests in the room of those of the State. All things were refei red to your person, and the descendant of Henry the Fourth WAS encircled with those futile and osten tatious marks of deference reserved to the Courts of Asiatic tyrants. Twenty years adversity hid not warned your Majesty against the dangers of flattery, and your anti chambers were crowded with these anti quated courtiers. instead of advisers, whom you needed, you were surrounded with slaves. Parasites that they were ! They taught you to forget that the State, in whip all are solicitous to serve % is not less monsoons in political institutions than that in which all are ainnitistis 10 command. They led you to give that chatter, which, hardly granted, was violated with impunity concessions to public opinion were no mimice mask titan rescue:led. You ought to have beta the head of the whole French People: they preferred declaring you the chief of the Coouans and Vendeans.. The liberty of the press was suspended. A Minister no less insolent than absurd, sporting with reason and wigs ti‘e representatives of the people, audaciously as. varied at the tribune of that House, that. the modern eekst.rsLip of a Chiron and Demi.*** Avimld.,'Jo. ri ft reed to ruind the censorship of Cato in. ROAN' 4* the irrevocability of national property was shaken, the Nasality of rights was nn longer but a urine ; it was a virtue to have betrayed one's coup. try. it was a crime to have served it.' Priestly anti, Ministerial despotism arose ready to crush ti.e most sacred rights. At home. the executive power, pro., catalog in direct: opposition with the legislature and public opinion. foreboded a long and bloody anarchy ; abroad. France, wok in humiliation, had lallen from she Tank to which twenty years of military glory had raised her ; the King of Fiance acknowledging him self the vassal of a British Regent, the country felt indignant at such an otitroge offered to its indepen dence and honour; a revointion was ripening, when Napoleon appeared. You had neglected the rights of the nation, and the nation deserted you, leaving you to tall from a throne to which she had called you for the good of all, and not for the benefit of a fov flatterers of despotic authority.. Your Majesty hay lead lessons for titanicy in the vicissitudes of the past. lnssoction may be afforded you by the events of your own life, and even the errors of Napoleon sna y supply useful admonition. Your return is effected by the aid of foreign arms ; several of our provinces are invaded, and' the blood of France has been 'shed. Atnijsr the iumhlt uous train Which attended you to the capital, your Majesty beheld not the numerous lands laid waste, nor the orphan claiming a father slaughtered by the enemy's hand; and yet, withiu the space cif eight days, sixty thousand citizens had fallen, and thousands of habitations had been dc alf oyes!. " Deceive not yoarself, Sire: the majority and Most worthy part of the whose only wish is the welfire of the country, without having assisted id your return, will still sustain you. You may be beloved. but our country claims our first love. Amidst the shouts of Vive le Roi," are• always 'lewd the shouts of " Vive la Nation ! Vive la Li. Lrrte I" , Those who wish to unite around your person are not subjects eager to behold a King, but men who could teach the stranger that. bound by one common sentimult, they will never cease to form a nation, and in their acclamations, they hail him who is to command respect to their rights. The French peuple whom you once again meet, are filled with *arm ani generous feelings, but they are not ineon- Sider:ably enthusiastic. !rise intoxication of glory. - bas vanished; treed from the illusion - of that extrava gant dominion of which they have felt the injustice and the' danger, they will die in defence of Lhoir !wintry, of their liberty, Ad of the power wlich 14)ey confide to you, and which 'YOu administer for the public . weal.

In a moment of holy enthusiasm for all that is grcid and good, the French nation arose en seam in 89 for the overthrow of feudal tyranny, and in your capacity as a French Nine, you supported their rights—you gave a splendid example, by ire. haring the rights of the people to usurped privi leges of the Nobility. " The principles which since put arms in our hands, have survived the Revolutionary storm—the sausenalia of 93 have been unable to disgrace the hallowed name of liberty t that dynasty by which it is respected. will alone remain unshaken. Those sacred rights pur chased at the expense of so much blood, are—the so vereignty of the tmettle--eational relsraentatiox by Aep ia?. election—tie holland= of taxis by thou retsrerentatroes— the independence of judges, and trial of eitmens by their teen —the (reality of all is the eye of the law—the re sponribility of ministers—the fiber& o f she individual—rof the rut—and of religions worship—llse abolishanst of eon c ations—oblivion of the past.—arevaalility of the alr eof national ftroptrty, igle. • " Those are the sacred rights against which all human power will be unavailing. Phe Prince who would violate them, would draw down upon himself the hatred of the people and would perish. No power can withstand the force of public °Onion ; if this truth hasbeen hitherto unfelt, it must cease is be so. " Let not Sovereigns, ever jealous of the liberty of their subjects, make vain promises, which they would hope to violate with impunity. The reign of deception and despotism is gone by, it is no longer possible to fascinate the public eye with the shadow of liberty, and to lead us finally into the abyss of slavery-.the principles of the nation are unshaken, and you will not disregard them. Your glory. Sire, nay, even your safety, are coexistent with their inte grity, and remember that that Constitution which declares your person sacred, offers an asyltsm only to the just administrator of the laws, and not to their violator, and that if the Prince abandons the Consti tution to attack the people, the people in despair may also depart from it, and resort elsewhere for arms of defence. The internal relations of the coun try once settled by you on a firm and liberal basis, its external relations will assume a more candid and liberal character. " Let the shameless wiles of diplomacy, so long mistaken for 4 science, be exploded from the Cabinet of Princes; in times when nations were made for thrones, and thrones not fur nations—when ambition, caprice, and force decided the fate of the world--de• ception may have beeh taken for an art, duplicity for a virtue, violence for a right; but in these days, pub lic opinion proclaims other principles—thrones are raised for the people, and by the people. •• The present age has no resemblance wi.h those which have preceded it. Never did reason obtain a nobler triumph over prejudice. Fanaticism of every kind lies fully exposed to the hatred of mankind, and there is no Frenchman who has not a just sense of his rights, of his dignity, and of the duty of Kings. '4 Become a man of the present age, Site, and of , en recal to your mind the fit.e admonition of Atitigonus to his son—that Kings should devote themselves to the good of their people; that they are instituted to govern, and not to dominate; and that, finally, the kingly power is only 4 splendid sertritside."

This morning we received the Parts Papers of Sunday, with private letters of the same date. • A Notice, which seems to be circular, appears in several journals of that date, refesring to the Reports made to the Kew by the Minister of the Interior. Th e following is a copy : " The Hawkers are circulating Reports made to cite King by the Duke of Otranto these Reports, if they really have ,been made, ought never to have been published, and can only have been put into cir culation by persons capable of falsifying them. We are authorised by the Duke of Otranto to disavow every thing which is not published with his consent and signed by him." We need hardly remark, what must strike every Reader, that though the foregoing is intended to throw a doubt upon the authenticity of the dozu mutts alluded to, it does-not amount to a direct de nial of their authenticity—" These Reports, if tivy have been made, ought never to have been published." It may be tree that they .$ ought not," and perhaps they were not intended to be published r but this does not amount to a denial of their having been made by the Minister. But . they " can only have been put in circulation by persons capable of fairy:yin: thaw;"— Have they falsified them ? Have they ascribed words or expressions to FoUCHE not employed by him ? No such thing is asserted, but ouly that those who circu lated them had it in their power, had they been so inclined, to have vitiated them. Even the disavowal only amounts tiS iLdeclaration of what all the world knew . before; that t* have never .been published officially: for had thee-been the case, they would have appeared first in 'thy 0100 Gawk. ' if we had had • any doubt of the authenticity of these documents the present A'otics would have re moved them We befieve them to have been pre- seated in the name of the &bolster (whoever wrote them) to the King ; and that, excepting perhaps some trifling clerical errors, np weT effecting the sense, the MSS. copies which reached us from Paris, and of which we gave hopes& translations, were correct, ;though hitherto they want the talisman of the impri. matur of the gam* gide& . -Though it has hot, reached the public thmush the olScial chum), may • we not ask, with tech a disavowal before us, whether k was not actually intended, when written, that it should, by some Omni or °then get into circula tion ? Under all the circumstances, we lure it to others to answer the question. We have not now to learn the way in w!lich the French press is managed, or %ow turrenty is some times given to publications which it would sometimes not be correct on the part of the Government to avow. On this we shall not dwell at present : but call the at tention of out Readers, fur a moment, to another production of the French press. The journals have announced a work under the title of 84 A. 42 Answer to. the Letter of a Frenchman to the King ;" but the Letter itself has not yet appeared in any of the jour. nals which we have seen. We have inserted the let ter itself in our columns, as illustrative of the senti ments of some of the parties by which France is now agitated, and which yet threaten serious conse quences. One can hardly believe the author serious, when they hear him calling upon the KING to " place confidence in those soldiers with whom." he says, og he should have surrroundcd a throne, which day had SO "mg, AND SO WILL DIWENDED"!!—A person writing in irony might use such words, but no person in his sober mind. The letter alluded to, which is ascribed; in Paris, to M. MANIA', as its author, notwithstanding such cl;stortidns as we have pointed our, contains many sound axioms—axioms so unexceptionable, that they may be called truisms. This circumstance ought not to pass unnoticed, for these very truisms sero. as so many pegs on which to hang up the sophi:rai which could not stand alone. The private letters speak with confidence of the Treaty between the Allies and France having been signed at Paris on the t;th ult. and ratified at Lon don on the Is instant, and assert, that it maintains the integrity of the French territory ; and that the Allies still only occupy certain fortresses until the war contribution (of which England receives nine millions staling) in part discharge of the expenses brought upon the 41l1es by the war, shall have been' paid. It is said that neither Strasburgh, &let z, Lisle, nor Briancon; are included among the cautionary occupancies. 01 the credit due to these statements we cannot speak with confidence ;lint every thing seems to indicate the approaching departure of the Russian troops. The report that Fowls had resigned, is notcen firmed, but there had been some expectation of a change in the Ministry, and the private letters n►en tiun that M. de BOUBIENNE is, or had been, intended as his successor• PARIS, SEPTEMBER 10. • The King of Prussia left Paris yesterday morning at four o'clock, to review the Russian troops : horses 1 1141le been prepared at Lazily and upon the road for the conveyance of his Majesty ind'esite. The carriages of the Emperor of Austria are gone for the same destination. His Majesty seta of tisiday. The Duke of Wellington set out for Chalons yes. tetday. The. Emperor Alczander will return on the 12th or 13th. We hear from Rome that the family of Cardinal Pignatelli; who died on the 14th, had sent to Cardi. nal Feseb an invitation to the funeral, but the latter could not accept of it. It is not usual to assist in any public solemnity before being presented to the Pope ; now Cardinal Fesch has not been re ceived either by the Pope, the Cardinals, or the Am bassadors. Nevertheless, be consoles himself for all these insults by taking an siring in a carnage deco rated with the arms of Napoleon. The following curious history is circulated under -tile title of The Catastrophe of Murat: " Of the five or six Sings whom Bonaparte had established in Europe, none seemed so secure as Joachim Murat. All the rest, and even Bonaparte himself, had been kicked down, but the latter still' sat firm upon his usurped throne, and bad his Am bassadors, or at least his - Intriguers, in all the Courts of Europe. His armies, more formidable than ever, occupied one hundredleagues of territory beyond the frontiers of the fine kingdom Of Naples. The Con. gress destined to fix the definitive fate of Europe, sent him Plenipotentiaries : it was proposed to en large his kingdom with part of the States of the Church; his moderation was invoked, and lie was invited, however singular it may appear, .to join the league of the legislative Sovereigns, armed against usurpation: and yet be disdainfully sent back the Plenipotentiaria, and would_ listen to nothing, so certain was he of his circumstances. a All this passed in the early part of April, mid by the end of May Italy was rid of Murat I Never was there a fall so great or so rapid. Tacticians will read, with astonishment, the recital of the manmu vres, the marches" and defeats which in forty days drove Murat and his army from the banks of the Po to the gate; of Capua. From Capua to Naples h; fled at full gallop, and there ntetithe denouement of hisvidventares. He arrived amine 19th of May at sun -set, at full gallop, attendetllkr four horsemen only.

K Next day Murat cut off his hair, which he was used to keep long and curled, and put on a grey dress, without any decoration. Thus di aiszd he , seen* gained the sea coast, whence a small passed hint over to the island of Ischia, and tF.ere embadced on board a merchant-vessel, which weir, for him a few leagues from land.
