Our Readers will rejoice to learn, that the victory it Waterloo has not been altogether fruitless to 136- E ,s2l interests, or unproductive of gratulation to Ilei tis!) feelings. The debts contracted by Prance w Dritish subjects, in conseqtience of the confiacatitgis ) t her revolutionary Governments, are to be paid •c•tbwith,and though last noE least, the Slave Trade ;s solemnly abolished. We observe that French Commis:,ioners have al .eady left Paris to deliver up the fortresses, stipu ated to be held by the Allies. This has every ap ,earailee of good faith. We trust we shall speedily have to congratulate t a , Readers on another important amelioration in I.e condition of Fiance ; namely the cessation of the -owl and disgraceful war which the French Carla i e s are waging against their Protestant brethren in he South. Whi!e on this subject, We rejoice to find that the :ause of their suffering biethren in France has been aken up by the Dissenting Ministers of London. They respectfully withheld the resolutions adopted ly .hem on the subject from the Press, until they had an interview with the Earl of LfVERPOOL.— These Resolutions, together with others adopted tz a Meeting that was held yesterday, reached us .co late for insertion this days but we think it ne ess.;:y to inform our Readers, that the interview was satisfactory, and that the Dissenting Ministers reprised the Noble Earl Of their intention to collect, a all their congregations, for the unhappy Protes ant sufferers in France. The recommendation of uch a Body cannot but Meet the benevolence of every :hristian heart ; and, no doubt, large contributions sill be raistd.—To-morrow we shall give the Reso *ions. A private letter from Paris states that MosstsiA as disappeared. A warrant, it seems, had been is .,tied against him, but on the arrival of the police of: iceis at hit residence, it was discovered that he had made his escape. Perhaps it is as well, for the sake if example, that this most ehandoned and profligate ruffian has rfot, been caught s if brought to trial, the oublic; as in the case of N', would id all likelihood 'Ave, been tatiseated With the shuffling and dish°. tearable attempts of the Jacobins to save him ; whereas; ey secreting himitlf he becomes his' own extortioner. Wherever he takes up his residence, :!..e finer of execration and abhorrence will be raised hgz.inst him ; and while the recollection of his infa mous and bad life stall drain him dry as hay, Sleep &hall neither night nor day, Hang upon his pent•horse lid ; He shall live a wan forbid!" MASSENA was always regarded as the most cruel, frocious. and rapacious, of the military ruffians who have been disgorged upon Europe from that hot-bed of all that was infamous and dishonourable, Revolu unary France. His atrocitiet in Spain and Tortu ga, on the first invasion of these countries ky BONA PAM, were too shocking even to his iron-hearted Master himself, and he was speedily retailed ; since which period he has done nothing remarkable, unless we cell into the account his recent treachery to the Bourbons, and the vigorous support he afforded Ba. EAPARTE in his late usurpation. MAMMA is not a Frenchman by birth ; in charac ter and conduct, however, he is Preach all over. In 1152 he served ax an Ensign in the republican army, entered and plundered Nice, his native place ; and in return for acting as pioneer and guide to the banditti, among whom he seried, he was promoted to the 3tifr on what was called the Army of the Maritime Alps. He afterwards commanded the right wing of ;he army which conquered Italy Under BONAPARTE. date he certainly displayed great military talents, rat he was DO }CU conspicuous for the extortions . he practised 04 the Inhabitants to gratify his }ratite, which has no bounds. At Rime, in particular, he reaped a most abun dant harvest. By his orders the Vatican was emir, ly upped from the most precious furniture of the state chambers to the most trilling utensil in the kiteren; '4e sacerdotal vestments and hangings of the Chapels vere burnt fur the silver and gold-lace which they nntained ; the fine public library of the Vatican was ilso plundered by this modern Vandal, and the r'ope's priiate collection was sold by him to a French liolueller for about £9OO stetting. All the private "downy of the Port, his two nephews, and of the :4diesls Yoak and Al.llllll, and particularly of all Ile French Nobles and Clergy who had sought an asy inn at loose, was also confiscated. Forted loans and ;nntributions were then extorted from the inhabitants, a " every domestic article of gold and silver WAS .4411 from them by force i when the precious metals 'ire exhausted Mama* seised upon the copper 11011 eY• and utensils of the unfortunate inhabitants, &lid several ships were laden on his account with these Puji% and dispatched to France. Amid all this pri 'Le 'opacity he neglected to pay his army, and the ; 1 • 1 2 ( • • • • I IX It I s It . a consequence was a Mutiny; which cOthpelled him to sneak out of Italy with his plunder. Id 1799 MdasintA conimatided ihe . French army. which ravaged and subjugated Switzerland. although resolutely deft . nded by the Austrian sind Rtissian armies, udder the Archduke CuaaLii and the im• mortal SUWARROW. In 1800 he defended Genoa against the Austrians; but was ultimately obliged to capitulate. During the siege the French lost ten thousand men in killed and Wounded. and about five, thousand by a pestilential fever. Of the miser able inhabitants 6334 died by the fever, and 20,493 by famine! It is hardly pouible that a man so situated as ASIENA was id Genoa, ;with death, pestilence, and 14mine around him, could think of adding pillage to •the other miseries of the inhabitants; and yet in Genoa he amassed for himself two millions five hundred thousand lines, by requisitions from the living and confiscations of the property of the dead I On the surrender of Genoa, BONAPARTE wrote him a letter, still extant, in which he reproached him with giving it up before “ row la vile entii Na tom &au !" Soon afterwards BONAPARTE recalled him to Paris to give an account of his ifaancia/ transactions at Genoa and in Lombardy. On his arrival at Paris, he was reprimanded by the Usurper, in a come manner, in presence of several General Officers : one of those, who is still alive, recollects well she remark able scene which took place on that occasion t when BONAPARTE had finished his philippic, lilintsrma, with great hardihood and some humour, observed, " suit volrur," (I am a thief); "Ts et inkier," thou art a thief, (to the Chief Consul); 44 11 est vs. frur," (he is a thief, pointing to MURAT) : 44 Ifour; :maw der voleurs," (vie are thieves, to the Generals around him) ; 4 6 Vous des dee vofrurr," (you are all thieves, bowing to them) ; and in retiring, he said to B , NArA [ITN " OW. Cites= Coarul, ils sons dr: VOleuts. 9 a (yes, Citizen Consul, they are all thieves). NIA&SENA was not heard of for several years after this : his name next appeared to some furious Procla. ,nations against England, having been appointed to a command in the army destined to invade this coun try ; but BONAPARTE peihaps only mask use of MAS• SENA% name, on this occasion, as a bugbear to frighten our women and chiliren. About this period Mak SENA pledged Witisclf to an English Nobleman, (we believe the late Lord CASIELFORD, who was then at Paris), that " he Would make England a country not worth lividg in !" 141AISEt4A was alwaYa detested by those who ser ved with him or under him. Although a Jacobin and a Revolutionist, he never recognized the sacred principle of quality in the division of plunder, and he never suffered any other person to pillagewhere hecom ruanded, for he kept all to himself. He ;snow about 55 years of age, of a middlitig stature, enjoys. an ex cellent constitution, and wilt be a valuable accession to the Americans, whom we pfesume he is about to. , visit. lie will teach them the true republican virtues having long drank at the fountain head himself. A Dutch Mail arrived this morning : the Papers brought by it. supply us with the following articles s BRUSSELS, NOVEMBER 4L The Prussians have extended their cantonments' further lot the convenience of obtaining provisions v icc. Though these Provinces have suffered much less than the rest of Fr.ince, yet this unexpected burden causes great discontent thete. We learn now that the Prussian army suspended its march by orders re. ceived from the highest authority, and it is thought certain that dr.! cause is chiefly to be sought in the difficulties which the . French Government makes from time to time about giving up to the Allies the fortresses which they are to occupy. The French seem not yet able to reconcile themselves to the idea of giving up their fortresses to foreign armies. How. ever, the measures taken with the Prussian army ' have done already this good, that the signing of the several Conventions has been thereby hastened ; they will not resume their march till the fortresses which are to secure for a certain number of years the repose of the neighbouring States; shall have been delivered up to the Allied troops. The greatest part of the Hanoverian regular troops remains in the southern Provinces of the K;ngclom upon. the Fiench frontiers. Several battalions have already gone into their gar risons. The whole of the Hanoverian. Landwehr returns home to its own country. Thel► continue to speak of the building of a mag nificent palace at La Belle Alliance, in the middle of the eitensive wood, which the national gratitude has given to the great man who has preserved our country from innumerable evils. COPENHAGEN, NOVEMBER I. The Government of Hanover has not only offered a very large sum of money for the Duchy of Lau euberg. but has also signified to Denmark that if it will renounce this accession of territory. it may re ceive for it some considerable colony in the West In dies. But the same reasons that excite Hanover, or rather England, to cla ire to retain this small spot of territory, equally induce Denmark to wish to claim it. —Lauenburg, which does not contain above 4000 inhabitants. separates the territory of Hamburgh from that vi Lubec. All direct commercial commu nications between the two cities must pass our Danish territory, which of itself is an advantage, on account of the transit duties that may be levied ; add to this, that as the two small territories of Hamburei and . . . . Lubec are wholly =rounded by the provinces of Holstein and Lauenburg, it i• by no means , that time or some political cliirnge may bring t!i. both Under the govereii;ol7 of Denmark i in fats, Lubec has, with.groat daticulty, escaped being in• corporated with .Denmark. The Congress of Vienna wits upon the point Of giving that City to Denmark, but the energetic remonstrances of the English Mi. niitee prevented it. Denmark seems not disposed to give up ; Lenburg. Mr. Hammerstein; however, continues.the negotiations with great zeal. THE dflitlf. Lieutendht-General Sir HUDSON Lows, it is said. will nut proceed to St. Helena before Christmas. He will be accompanied by Lieutenant-Colonel Sir T. READE I of the '27th Regiment, who goes to the island as Deputy Adjutant-General of the troops there.— Sir HuusoN will embark in the Pitzvos, Cal:44k STANYNLD. Captain Emmett% Company of Sippers will also embark for St. Helena. They have been doing duty a: Portsmouth some time. The PrucroN will receive her final instructit ns there. The 66th Iteginient, under Colonel Dohctiv, is ex pected to embilik, 7'X) ►tavits, to-niortsm, at Ports- Mouth. Major General Corr Awe is appointed Commandant ot the Batt.ihon of the Royal Artillery, vacant by the . —. death of T-; 11111tellAla _General FEAD. Monday a detachment ot the Royal Waggon 'Frain arrived at Canterbury. on their room for ltainswite, to embark fur France as soon as the airangements for the return ot part of the British army, now in pro. gress under the direction of Sir II emtv Toattetis, shall have been completed ; on which account only has the embarkation been suspended. A detachment of the 15th "Hussars arrived in Can terbury on Saturday, from Dover, waiting orders for a similar purpose. Some of the English Regiments of Militia which had been sent to Ireland during its recent f rmenta dons, are returning. The West Essex Regiment has arrived at Portsmouth, and will be stAtioned iu Kent. The 3d Lancashire Regimeat is also under orders to return. Such Irish Militia Regiments as have not already been in England are to embark for this country in the spring of the ensuing year. The foliowing are the Regiments : Armagh, Cavan, City Cork, Done gal, Derry, County Dublin, Limerick City, Queen's County, Tyrone, and Wicklow. Waterford is in iuture to be made a general depot for etubarking troops. One troop of the 4th Dragoons, commanded by Major ON 51.0 w, arrived at Clogheen from Fermoy on the loth. Tuesday set:night, the Royal • Meath Militia marched into Watertmd from Dungarvan, and pro ceeded to New Geneva, where its head-quarters are to remain fur tit:, present. The Regiment has seve ral detachment.. through the county of Waterford. FERMOY BARRACKS, NOVEMBER 23. a. Our march from Waterford, where we disem; barked, to Fermoy where we are now comfortably lodged, lay through ninety miles of the most beauti ful mountainous country I ever saw. On our route we passed Lind Dow:oilstones magnificent }wow and picturesque domain, ascended the top of Dungar vau and KiUworth mountains, where the Is ish live in mud cabins, and traversed the fine county of Tippe rary, the Most disaffected, and yet the must plentiful in Ireland. Fetnioy Barracki are at present very Ina : they contain 4.(0) troops. Here we have one regimen, of cavalry, half a brigade of artillery, with the SO) and 97th tegiments, besides the East Devon. West Kent, Tower Hamlets, and North Cork Militias. The whole county is in fact swarrniog with coops; ' and it is very necessary that this should be the cas&, for the dispositions of the inhabitants are vety turbu lent and bad. There are piquet: in every town and village, and at the intervals of every four miles on the toads ; there are also detachments of cavalry and infantry out the whole of every r ight, and yet scarcely a night passes without bodies of two or three hundred coming down from the mountains and firing on the piquets. From ten to twenty prisoners are brought in every morning, and packed off for Cork immedi ately, where they are embarked in transports for Botany Bay. Fifty paused through this morning, escorted by dragoons. •• Provisions are cheap beyond all idea : beef and mutton from 24d. to Rd. per lb. ; pork is id. ; tut keys are Ss. 6d. per couple; geese 2s. 6d. per couple ; ducks is.; and fowls from 10d. to Is. 2d. per couple. Whiskey is 7s. per gallon ; and the finest ale in the world is to be bad at Sd. per quart. The Port wine is as dear and as bad, or rather worse than in Eng land. Nothing is drank, therefore, after dinner, at mess, but whiskey punch. Game is plentiful, but no peraoh is safe to go a shooting without a dozen soldiers with him." Wrunsoa, Nov. 28.—Yesterday morning her MA - JISTY, accompanied by Princesses A UGLISTA and ELl zAncru, attended by Lady Oust.ow, rode out in a coach and four, to Richmond, and honoured the Countess or CA RDIGAN with a visit, at her house on the Hill, where A MN/MOUS dinner was prepared for the Royal visitors, and a select patty of their particular friends to meet them. _ Tl.e Earl of Live.urom left town on Sunday to meet Lord and Lady CASTLEREAGH, at Walmer Castle.
