There 'not n - sons in the French Trea sury ; and there is even an implied inability on the part of the oppressed inhabitants to replenish it r;lrts Papetrs to the lit instant have reached tit, and *lifts the stiin and substance of their contents : A Dec*, issued from the Thuilleries on'the 27th, setting ut defiance all the fixed and settled rules of obtaining money resorted to by former . Siatesmen, boldly reverts to the revolutionary doctrine of Nequiti tion:. Those unfortunate individuals who have in their possession any " Military stores, provisions, forage, fuel, harness, requisites for the hospitals; horses, or carriAges"—are instantly to deliver- them to the Pre fect. This Gentleman is instructed to pay the holder's of the numeroue items thus enumerated, by an order on the Receiver General, who, being also pennyless places the amount to the credit of the individual, in abatement of contributions in money which are or dered to be levied upon him by a previous clause in the Decree. -The system of swindling which has been uniformly acted upon in every country visited by ?tench troops since the Revolution, is now visited upon - the inhabitants of France themselves ! The Decree now -before us openly adopts the merciless system as one of the fundamental laws of the French Empire, and not only are the miserable natives to suffer the reta liation of war being waged on their own soil, but they are to be stripped of their last shilling, merely to gra- tify the obstinate vanity of BONAPARTI:, who will not quit his degraded Throne until he is hurled from it by some sudden visitation of Dtvitzz Venzeance. —His prineiples are unchanged i adversity has not humbled him, nor infused the least drop of humanity into his rancorous heart. He foresees the speedy dissolution of his whole system ; and before he takes his departure, like a bad tenant, he defaces, dilapi. :dates, and unroofs the premises, from which he is ejected by the sentence of law. He is determined that his successor, be he who he may; shall have the glory of rescuing France and her inhabitants from the abyss of misery. There ore a variety of other topics in'the French Journals for increasing our hopes fur the speedy restoration of Old Times in France as well as else where. When we are told, for instance, that BoNA PARTE " rode through the streets of Paris, visited tht wine-market, and conversed familiarly with the citi zens," we regard his condescension as a last expiring effort to retain his popularity with the canaille of Paris. We •can guess at another recto ► for tuis spewing himself in public :—he had been missing for seve• ral days, hatching the infernal code of plunder upon his own subjects which we have already exposed.— . . There were in the interval —t' all kinds of puns," a; the 13tilletin issued from the Admiralty. informed , ts, placarded in the streets of Paris ;" naY., perhnps the watc hword of u FUIT IMPERATOR" Was rmiived among the cohorts .eff the.klational Guards. . His ap- , pearance in public was therefore considered necessary' by his Senators, for he is now thepuppet in their , hands they are now his life.and-fortnne men—they *now that when he goes all must go with him. They are: too thorough paled in the revolutionary virtue, by which they rose to .eminesvve t ,lo expect that any tom -1 pact of amnesty or indemnity would be kept with them—they, Who. keepinn `faith with Hereties them selves, cannot expect that Men- Should change their nature in behalf of a groupe of tmreformed galley.' slaves, executioners, assassins, robbers—for of this vile cOniplexion is the CiArt kalendar of France composed. ._ The English and the Allies are 'reproached in the ,French Papers with deluging the ,Continent with .Paper Money. This accusation comes with a bad grace, truly, after a Decree solemnly announting to the world, not only that the Fref'sch Treasury is empty,, but that Public Credit hat been buried in the same graVe which the Great NAPOLEON has dug for . his numerous armies', Great attention is now paid in the French Journals :to the affairt of Switierland. Hints are siven.that the Swiss are to be the Mediators of a Peace with one or two of the Allied i l‘rvers. We do not believe . it. It is merely a feint , to; keep iliVe the hopes of • Peace among the Parisians. The funds are thus kept up to 56. We refer our Readers to an adthirable Phillipic lgainst England, in the ifoniteur of the 27th. How , delightful it must be to the feelings of Englishmen, to hoar the French nation called upon, the first time 'for these min y centuries, to oppose an Invasion.—; But the people of France have been told by the Al lies that it is not agenst them the Invasion is directed, but against a gang of robbers and assassins, with BoNa.. PARTE at their head, who have taken refuge in Paris. -This is precisely what the Ruffian alludes to when he tells the inhabitants of Frace "not to suffer them selves to be Seduced 'by insidions promises, or vain arid fallacious proclamations I", Well may [he tremble to hear from the Prefects of Iris Departments that the discipline of the inv , iding armies conciliates the affections of the inhabitants wherever they appear —because they are guided by u the principles of mo deration and disinterestednes." This is precisely the most fortititfable character in the Threats of the Allies-Lthey frip,httit Bomiranre out of. his senses When they preach the good old morality of *old times to the peopleof Fraiice. He has an interest in their demoralisation—Like the Thief -taker and other neces sary appendages of all Governments, he lives by the trines of his fellOiv creatures ! Yesterday the PRINCE REGENT gave n most splen did dinner to the Gentlemen of the Depatation sent by the Emperor of RESIIA to convey the orders of Russian Knighthood to his Royal Highness. The Members of the Deputation were met at the Great H•tll by the Yeomen of the Guard; the 'pages, and livery servants, and from thence conducted to the State.rcorns, where they were received by the PRINCE REGENT, surrounded by his Royal Brothers, the Dukes of Your, CLARENCE, KENT, and CANIBILIDGE, and the principal Ministers and Officers of State. The PirtNcE's gold and two silver services of plate were displayed on the occasion. Itt the centre of the table was a superb temple, in the middle of a circular plateau, suitable to the form of the table ; it was de corated with basso relievos, surmounted by Genii suppo•. Ling laurel leaves, emblematical of Victory ; and in the border were portraits of the KING, QUEEN, and PRINCE RLGENT, patronizing► the Arts. In addi tion to the Liverpool service of glass, a new service was exhibited on this occasion.

ANOTHER LETTER-SAME DATE. do The report brought two days ago, that Flushing was in the hands of the Patriots, is most happily con armed : a Dutch schuyt, which arrived this day, at two o'clock, from Scheveling, had ordori to commu nicate the fact, of the whole of Zealand being free, to any British vessel she might meet ; and she did so, having spoketra British frigat* last night.

The Clerkenwell Volunteer Regiment, commanded by FRANCIS MAGNIAC t Esq. and mustering upwards of SOO members, have made a tender of their ser vices to Government. A company of Royal Artillery, under the com mand of Captain Ettto rr, marched in►o Canterbury on Wednesday, from Eastbourne, where they at pre sent remain. This morning, at five o'clock, his Royal Highnesz. the Duke of CAMBRIDGE left town, and was accont .panied by his Royal Highness the Duke oECLanesce Count MuNsTen, and a numerous retinue. The Duke of CLARENCE will only accompany his Royal Brother to Sheerness. The harbour of Scheveling, near the Hague, at which the PRINCE of ORANGE landed, on the Ist inst. is memorable in history for the embarkation of CHARLES THE SECOND, when he sailed for England, for a restoration similar to that fur which his Serene Highness is gone to Holland. The name of the Dutch Gentleman, whose arrival we announced on Wednesday, is Gutcssztivr. Ht• came from the Hague, charged with a confhlonLial message to his Serene Highness the Prince of ORANGE but the Prince had sailed before his arrival. The ar. rival of his Serene Highness in Holland could not but excite joy and confidence ; and tend to removt the disqilieting apprehensions of the Dutch, lest the French sheo.l4 return again in force before the arrival of succours from England . Early on Wednesday morning there was an awf t and most destructive fire at Glasgow. It broke o t in the premises occupied ,hy a branch of the 01.
