The Prefects and the Mayors now find that they catatot do illegal acts with impunity.

" Paris ) for the last week, has been filled with ru- mourn of the escape of BONAPARTE ; and more than one of the stout-hearted Ultras have been so alarmed at it as to have taken to their beds, from which no thing would have made them rise but the certainty Of its not being true, or the rumour of his landing in France ; and then those brave heroes would spew themselves able to run a race with Diana.—Happily all their fears are groundless." We have received this morning Papers from Xis la-Chapelle, and Brussels to the 22d instant. The following are extracts : BRUSSELS, NOVEMBER so. The Theatre Royal was extremely brilliant yes terday evening. The Emperor Alexander, the Em press Dowager, the Grand Duke Constantine, (who arrived in the morning from Paris). the Grand Duke Michael, the Royal Family, and the illustrious stran gers now in our city, honoured it with their presence. It would be difficult to describe the enthusiasm shewn by the numerous audience on this occasion. 'NOVEMBER 21.—The Empress Dowager of Russia, and the Emperor Alexander, have left us this morn ing. The Prince and Princess of Orange accompanied their august Mother as far as Liege. Yesterday the Prince of Hesse, Commander of the Danish troops, arrived here from France. It is with great astonishment that we read, in the Journal de Frankfort, of the 17th of this month, the following article, dated Brussels, the 12th : " A plot has just been discovered, the object of which was nothing less than to seize the Emperor Alexander, on his journey hither, and to force him, under pain of death, to declare the Duke of Reichstadt (young Na poleon) Emperor of France ; and her Majesty (the Duchess of Pat n:a) Regent. The conspirators had got proclamations printed, on which they depended to excite an insurrection. Several of them have been arrested, and they are almost all Frenchmen. This plot is supposed to have extensive ramifications." SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES-GENERAL. SITTING OF THE 20TH. The Minister of Finance being introduced in the usual form, and having taken his place, presented the Budget for the year 1819. It gives the cnumer.t tion of the presumed expenses of the different de partments of the Administration, and of the ordi- nary and extraordinary revenues destined to cover them. The estimated expenses amount to 72,703,144 florins ; the revenues to meet these expenses are esti mated at 72,786,691 florins 19i cents. The contri butions now existing will continue to be levied till further legislative measures shall be adopted respect ing them. The papers were laid on the table, and will be printed for the use of the Members. Nothing more being in the order of the day, the Assembly adjourned till Monday. COLOGNE, NOVEUDER is. Yesterday, about one o'clock, P. :.r. his Majesty the Emperor of Austria arrived I:ere from Aix-la-Cha pelle; he was received with salutes of artillery, ring ing of bells, and the acclamations of the inhabitants- He lodges at the Cour Imperial. At three o'clock his Majesty went to Dentz, whence he surveyed the fine situation of our city. After visiting the fortifiil cations of Dentz and the military workshops, his i Majesty returned to the city. This morning he has visited some collections of paintings and several churches, and reviewed our garrison. The city has been illuminated for two nights. The Emperor goes to-morrow to Bingen. The last arrivals from Buena: Ayres make parti etdar mention of the state of forwardness in which the expedition was, that was preparing in Chili for an attack on Lima, and the Provinces of the Vice ' royalty of Peru. The expeditionary army was to consist of from 8 to 10,000 men, with a corre;pond ing train of artillery, and the command was vested in General SAN MARTIN, the hero of Chacabuco and Maipo. The naval forces were to consist of thirteen vessels, belonging to the State of Chili, and it was ex pected they would be joined by several others expec ted to arrive before the expedition left Valparaiso, as well as by some Buenos Ayres vessels cruising in the Pacific. Transports for the conveyance of the troops had also been prepared. The squadron was to be commanded by a Naval Officer who would arrive about the Ist November. The following is a list of the naval forces of Chili on the 28d of July: ellifibtrland, 60 guns ; Lantaro, 54 guns ; Coquimbo 14 gems; Columbus, IS guns ; Ark!, is guns; Chiles, 16 guns: Agnik 14 WS Fortuna, 10 guns ; Witch, 10 guns.—Frigates fmgr America—Horst* 32 guns ; Curacia, 32 guns.—Front Buenos aityres--Oaava re, formerly Lucy, 20 guns ; Mali*, 16 guns, be sides pus bow, and other small craft. AnTloAs has been so harassed by the Portaguese forces on the banks of the River Plate, that he has been compelled to retreat with a comparatively small number of followers, nearly 300 miles into the inte rior. He has been, however, so prudent as always to avoid coming to any decisive engagement. It is said to be the determination of the Portuguese to maintain themselves at Monte Video, and to give all possible resistance to the Insurgents of Buenos Ayres. Of the present state of the Patriotic cause in Vene zuela, we have given in a preceding part, from the American Papers, a very full and interesting account. We have letters from Madrid to-day to the 10th instant. It appears that FERDINAND VII. is likely to have some difficulties to contend with at home, as well as in his Colonies. A number of soldiers who had long been deprived of their pay, and are conse quently dissatisfied, have deserted and taken shelter in the mountains of Gallicia, where they have been joined by a considerable body of peasants reduced by •the late war, and' accustomed to depredations with the Guerrilla parties, and the whole, it is as 'awed, constitutes a force so formidable, that the ordinary police, which is in a very bad state, is not competent to suppress it. It is not stated that these 'marauders have yet proceeded further than the stop page of travellers, or incursions into the neighbour ing villages, but the letters mention that the purpose is open rebellion, and declarations to this effect have been circulated by them. We arc also informed, that a body of Spanish infantry has been dispatched for the purpose of subduing them, but there is much doubt whether many of these soldiers are not equally disinclined to obedience. We learrrfrom the late American arrivals, that Bothbay Papers to the Sth of August had been re ceived in Philadelphia. The Bombay Courier of the 4th August states: " That the British successes over the Native Princes conti nued. unpleasant news had been received at Bombay from the army. General Grammar., on the rth July, made a grand at tack against the Pettah, in which the British troops displayed unusual intrepidity, although their efforts were unsuccessful. Their defences were found to be of a most formidable and un expected nature, and they were vigorously defended. Major- General Gat kenicc was obliged to return, owing to the injury he had received from the destructive fire. of the enemy, which his force had been exylosed to, and the garrison redoubling their efforts from the moment 'the attack commenced. The loss of the British, we are sorry to say, was very severe. " The Papers also give am account of the Itotming and cap ture of the forts Melligawn, Byrhamghur, Bowangcr, Kangoree, Kaodas, Linguana, Alyputghar, and Chanda, by various divi sions of the English armies, and that in the latter 599 of the gar rison were put to the sword. The account of the defeat of the Peishwa, which has before been published, is corroborated with additional particulars. The insurrection at Ceylon still raged with greater fury by theiast accounts (July), and it was feared would terminate with great bloodshed, as the rebels had advanced within a few miles of kludfort, and dispatches had been received at hladras from General Brownrigg, for a reinforcement of troops." It ought not to be forgotten, however, that these accounts appear rather in a very questionable shape, assuming the substance and form given to them by the American press. Lord ELLENBOROUCII SUS yesterday considered in a worse state than he had been for some time before. The Bishop of CHESTER is arrived in town to attend his noble and excellent brother. The Archduke Maximicsax, during his stay in Edinburgh, in the very slight intercourse he was able to have with any of the men of science, evinced a much more intimate acquaintance with natural phi losophy and other scientific pursuits than generally falls to the share of Princes. Excepting his cousins, the Archdukes JOHN and LEWIS, none of that class who have visited England have shewn half so much talent as the late visitor. Short as his stay in Edin burgh•was, he managed to steal from the other more important avocations of attending Military Reviews, examining Custom-houses, Wet -docks, &c. to some scientific visits. Among others he was twice at the house of Dr. BREWSTER, where he inquired most minutely into the progress and management of the many beautiful experiments by which the nature and action of light have of late been so wonderfully elu cidated by his various experiments. The PRINCE evinced a knowledge of all those subjects far supe rior to most men who have even given their minds to the subject, and communicated a variety of info:- , mation to Dr. BREWSTER relative to the experiments of Professor Awe' of Modena, no account of which 'has as yet reached this country. THOMSON'S MONCNIFNT.—'IIm , long deferred Mo nument in honour of Tsso'ssoN, rear his native yil-' lage, is now in a fair way of being speedily erected. The plan adopted is by Mr. WILLIAM Es.ciss) Kelso. The obelisk is to be fifty feet in height : it being understood, however, that should the addi tions which are expected to the subscriptions ad mit, the building may be proportionally enlarged, according to the direction of the subscribers. It is to be erected or. a fine :king ground, on the lands of Ednam Spittal, belonging to Mr. WALDIE cf Hendersyde, nearly north of the farm house of Verney Hill, and on the height between that house and Sydenham gate. Mr. N% ALDIE has agreed, when the presentlease should expire, to enlarge the portion of ground to be fenced off with the monument, if the subscribers should desire it. The preparations for the commencement of the work are now going on, and a lhade for the workmen is put up. At the same time it is stated that the suns already raised is quite in adequate to the completion of the purpose in a man ner worthy of the fame and character of the Poet ; and it is therefore hoped, that many persons who have said, that if the work were once begun they would subscribe, will now come forward to redeem the pledge they have given, and aid in promoting its .accomplishment.
