NcroLzow.—The remembrance via grist man always commands a religious respect for his memory. Therefore, from the time of his leaving Malmaisoo, until his arrival at Bachelors, Napoleon received marks of the most feeling interest; sincere tears flowed from the eyes of the inhabitants of this town. How many times on the road was bs not solicited to put himself at the head of the army ! his well known that he bad it in his power to prolong the resistance which Francs bad the tight and the means to sustain. Affected to tears, Napoleon, before be embarked, made the following answer to the last deputation s—" It is too late," aid be, " the evil has no remedy ; it is no more in my power to save the country r a civil war, now, would be without object and without use. To myself it would be advantageous, es I might, in consequence, obtain personally more favourable conditions; but, not wishing to amities what is most generous and megaewlasons in France, by exposihe to inevitable loos, the lives of her people, I ern determined to avoid, by all means in my power, results which would be horrible to me." The great man embarked, bearing the stamp of fidelity. Cmansts Tors Tzwirm—He disappeared as a man who feared to meet the looks of a father who had lost a son fighting foe liberty against the automata of him who bad given orders to destroy Frenchmen in his capital. He passed in the midst of millions of Frenchmen, quite indif ferent as to his destiny ; no where expressions of regret are to be beard ; he feels none himself ! The slowness of his march is remarked only by a sorrowful silence; the indignation is concentrated in all generous bans; their thoughts are turned towards those victims which Charles the Tenth has sacrificed to his despotism before he left the soil, where not long since the blood would have flowed for his defence, had he not perjured his oaths. His lingering march, said the Courier Francais, had in view the hope of seeing senseless creatures prepare to put him again at the bed of affairs. If these were his last hopes, they were frustrated, for it was remarked that the few Frenchmen who witnessed his final departure, saw with pleasure the disappearance of him from our fine country, who bad caused French blood to flow in the capital His convoy was that of the poor man, wanting the clog.—EstqfeUs d'Aper. Malicious reports having been circulated that the Hospital of the Hotel Dieu was so crowded that a pestilential disease was the conse quence, and that even the Sisters of Charity mixed noxious ingredients with the food of the patients, M. Odillon Barret, Prefect of the Seine, went on Wednesday morning to the Hospital, without any previous notice, in order to ascertain, by his own personal observation, the real state of the ease. He found that all the sinister rumours were without foundation t that the spacious wards contained only half the usual num ber of beds ; end that papers were fastened to the pillars, addressed by the wounded and sick to the Parkhurst who might visit them, bearing the strongest testimony of the unremitting and humane attention shown by the Sisters of Charity. The Prefect found throughout the whole esta blishment no ground of complaint, but felt himself called upon to ex. press the most grateful acknowledgments to the Sisters of Charity. He informed the patients that he had given orders for an airy and spacious building to be prepared in the environs of Paris, to recedes them as they became convalescent, where they might recover more rapidly that strength to which the country was so much indebted..—Gagswers Messenger. The English Government has just recognised, as legitimate Chief of the French nation, the King who owes his sceptre to the national will, and who reigns by the same rights as the successors of the Stuarts. This event, which was easy, will greatly contribute to our eommer dal prosperity, which chiefly depends upon pike abetted, and security for the future. The example of England will be sagsely followed by all the continental powers, who know, that if Prance doss not interfere in the affairs of others, she will not have her own meddled with, and that being delivered from his ignominious influence of a cowardly and base faction, she would be able, if necessary, to cause her independence and dignity to be respected. No grounds for fear can come from abroad. Diplomatic intrigues are no longer in vogue, and their place must be occupied byt candour and good faith i the well-known character of Louis Philippe, the Zing d the people, because be is a citizen King, leaves no doubt upon this subject.—Cost tiOntionaeL We learn from good authority, that the Duchess of 'Berry has ex pressed a wish to separate henelf from the, family of the ex-King, and tetke with her children to Naples. Charles X. and the Duchess of An. goulems, incapable of profiting by experience, are mon than ever per. maul that the ordinances were necessary to the happiness of France, sad the salvation of Monarchy. This blind infatuated obstinacy has so exasperated the Duchess of Berry, that she ran no longer live with this incorrigible family, whom she has frequently reproached with her own misfortunes. When, however, she declared her intention of leaving England with her children, it was intimated to her that she might de part alone, but that the young King and Mademoiselle were to remain with the Royal Family. It is asserted that the Duchess of Berry in tends to have recourse to a Court of Justice to compel the ex-King to give up her children.— National. Baron Lauaitir, the celebrated surgeon of the Imperial Army, read to the Academy of Sciences a paper relative to the wounds received during the three days contest of Paris. He stated that in none of the nu merous campaigns that he had been engaged in, excepting at the incur. rection at Cairo, had he ever witnessed wounds caused by fire-arms so dangerous and so fatal. He ascribed the state of the wounds to the no. tare of the projectiles, and to the abort distances in many cases which separated the combatants. The people not having leaden bullets. made use of playing marbles, buttons, brass and iron nails, pebbles, and in. deed whatever first came to hand—even the buttons from the Swim sot. dins who were slain, were cut off their jackets by the people, and used as shot against the military! Several of these curious projectiles, that bad been extracted from wounds which, for the most put, have proved fatal, were exhibited to the Academy. Among them was one minded from a Colonel of the Lacers, who died a few days ages Most of the amputations made at the the Hospital of the ex-guards (the iral-de- Gra,n) have been successful, and many men have recovered whose se►ere wounds seemed to render it impossible for them to recover. I wish I could name among that number my kind and worthy friend Lana, of the Guard du Carps, who received a severe wound in his thigh, from a musket-ball, on Thursday, the 29th of July. The wound had every appearance of doing well, but mortifisatirm took place, and soon put en end to his sufferings. Two amputations of the hip-joint have taken place, and both patients have recovered ; but the wound re ceived by Labrut had shattered the joint, and rendered amputation im possible. It is astonishing the number of cripples and maimed objects at present in the hospital. I generally visit that of Lo CA.s' three or four times a.week, and the others occasionally. I have witnessed two amputations at the shoulder—one of the patients died, but the other is doing well. A lancer, who had his scull dreadfully fractured by a peving-stone from a window, and was insensible for three days, is reco vering. There is one poor fellow at the temporary hospital at the Beam, who received a very severe wound by grape shot, at the Port tit. Denis. He is just in the same situation as the old woman in the fee• true, mentioned in Candid, by Voltaire—and yet he will mover! I have also seen two who received wounds mealy similar—from musket balls, which entered just below the left eye, and were cut out behind the as—in both of these ass, the wounds when she bells entered have completely healed. THE COLLEGES OP P.4m,ls. The Colleges of Paris lave all, according to custom, pruceeded to the distribution of prizes amongst their pupils. It is impossible for us to give an account of each of these solemnities t we must confine ourselves to a few words upon the distribution at the College of Henri 10. at which the presence of the Queen, and all her young family, together with that of Madlk. d'Orleans, gave an eclat and a pcculiar interest. It is some days since. the Read Muter had expressed to the King his fear that the care of public affairs would prevent the College this year from having the honour of his presence. " You are right,' replied his Ma jesty, w►th his accustomed grace, " I hove no loom, as in former years, two bouts a day to devote to my pleasures." The young Duke of Nemours, and the Prince of 'pineal., were mixed amongst their com rades, soon to be called hem their nmks to receive the crowns, adjudged by the most strict impardslity. Ohba* success during the whole year their comrades had teen whams, and consequently were judges. "This fortunate cooaurence prevented say stupid= of favour or flattery. It would be superfluous to add, that the royal party were overjoyed, and that the pupils joined, by their applause, io the triumph of the Duke of Nemours, who bore away the first and second prizes for Latin version and the Mathematics t and that of the Prince of Joinville, who, in an inferior class, obtained the first prise in another branch of science. It is thus that the Prince Royal, In the same spot, hats set the example to his younger brothers. M. Alfred Wailly, Professor of Rhetoric, delivered the following address r it is, however, impossible to convey an idea, or do adequate justice, to the young and eloquent orator, by a recital of his discourAe, which loses in reading what it possessed, when joined to the animated and impressive manner with which it was delivered :- 1 " OxittLeteser—This is not the time for long speeches. All words are cold, all expression lifeless, In the presence of the living reality which surrounds us. There are periods where the power of facts predominate in such a manner, and proclaims so loudly, that the orator most be silent and resign himself to mute admiration. What a spectacle in effect bas been exhibited before our eyes. Amo narchy eight centuries old, arms itself from head to foot, descends into the streets, and throwing the gauntlet to the people, provokes with a de. lighted heart, to an unequal conflict, a nation without arms, and sang gird with her for three days, map to man, without the fear of slipping her foot in blood. Sixty hours were sufficient for justice to get the bet. ter of such culpable folly. " The people, still more admirable Eas conquerors than intrepidi as combattanta—the people, still breathless after victory,:reste peaceably on the field of battle, and without uttering a single cry of vengeance, rec kons their wounds—staunch their bleeding sides—end although pro ceeding to exile, exile henceforth, without hope of return, this fallen royalty, who were moving step by step through the population as. ambled to witness dude postage, and beholding it with mute attention. Solemn and terrible sentence, more expressive than the *bouts of vie. tory. Not a single outrage ofkeed to old age, whose white hair was his only crown;—but not a single regret foe that last and seerowful pro. cession of fleeing legitimacy. I mistake, gentleness; Mere were shed, bat they were shed by old servants, the voice of whom bed sot been listeeed to--mbose advice had been repelled, whose prudence Ineghed at ; above all, that of the noble companion of the Prince, which the nation had just taken by the hand, to lad him to the throne. Alas 1 Notwith. standing the Royal prospect on the eve of being opened to her race, and which was to make a mother's heart beat, her eyes were diffused with tears, shed upon Royal misfeetunee—and when she left her country house, to descend as a Queen into Paris, she could not wake her mind to agree with us that there was a family too much in Prance. " Admirable revolution ! where all is noble, all Is great. The people who offer the Crown, and the citizen who receives it. Contract of reci procal good faith, cemented with the blood of the great city of Pads— causing for eves the disappearance of that decrepid phantom of royal legitimacy, who, to oppress the earth, called herself the daughter of Heaven, and substituting in her place the legitimacy of nations, daughter too long unknown of the law of human reason. " Nevertheless, Gentlemen, let us be quick in proclaiming that es. tastrophes, which renew the face of empires, cannot be effected without violent concussion, and the social edifice being shaken to its very foun. dation. To strengthen it on a large bese—..to give to its firm, lasting, and better stability, a prudent and steady hand was wanting--able to rebuild from the foundation, by little and little, without shaking the whole. Thank Goa we have found the only one who could direct that immense work, and reconstitute it to a good end. But we must all put a band to the labour; each must place a stone, and that, too, with order, and without striking his neighbour. .4 I n this general movement of political rebuilding, 'the University cannot remain idle; an important tub is reserved for her; she will knew how to fulfil it. The members of the instructive body will not lower their honourable profession—the meet worthy of being honoured, as proclaimed yesterday by the high intellect of that Prince, placed by choice at our head. It is to us that belong the right of potting public instruction in harmony with the wants of the epoch. A new cm is pre. paring. The liberty of public instruction, which we hail with all our wishes, will unfold amongst us a generous anulatiee, which will main. tain us at the head of intellectual inevament, and if. as formerly, the University is no longer the Eldest Daughter of the Kings of Renee, will be henceforth, what is still better, the Mother and the Nurse of the I Kings of the French. " Young pupils, we must not confine our lessons to the science of words. Your education must et the same time be literary and political; we shall often speak of that Charter, which has become a truth, since it has for guarantee the word of an honest man. We shall preach to you the love of order and submission to the laws, without which there is no true liberty; we shall instruct you in your rights and your duties, for you cannot be worthy to enjoy the one, if you do not ►now bow to subject yourself to the other; in fine, when we shall study among the monuments of antiquity, the noble days of Greek and Roman Repub. lies, we shall often return our regards, and with pride upon our happy country—Upon that admirable fonts of government, marvellous pro. duce of modern civilisation, and we must acknowledge that it is in it that resides the best of all republics, as was said by that veteran of liberty, the citisen of the two worlds, the good, the just, the venerable Lafayette. " Young pupils, these words are severe and grave, but not mote so then circumstancea—but your ears are capable of appreciating them. Youth is a fruit which in our days, ripens very aeon. You ars going to receive crowns, rewards of your present suecem—pledges of your future. Persevere in your work that you may be worthy the prospect which is preparing fa oar fins country, for that Franca, of which eel, the name at this moment excites the endtusium and admiration of all foreigners. As to our Princes, we shall not recommend you to love them ; they are amongst us : judge them. But if you have always found in them plain and good comrades, proclaim it boldly, sod let your accismadons be an answer to me. Gentlemen, this Medway le sincere ; youth does not flatter. How precious must it be for their mo ther, who every year comes to sit amidst yours, and who, notwith standing her crown as a Queen, does not renounce her right of eWasst ship amongst you."

" Raise to its highest point scientific learning, enlarge each day the circle with select discernment ; watch the progress of classic instruction tender to the labouring classes, and let that name be unto you a title qr. honour—to the youth who claim by industry and commerce, the mom. to enlighten upon the nature of their works, upon the semis of their sue. ass, upon the prospect of their undertaking ; in short, spread by tap...t means, ingenious, economical—spread upon the whole face of the couu.

" All, in effect, pupils and masters, young men and old men, people and government, will I hope labour henceforth in concert, and turn in profound study those laborious conquests of science over ignorance, ins of truth over error, which impatient seal seems to burst from all parts. It is there that the career is immense, and that by gond right, the =hi. tious mind knows no limits. This ardour, so noble, up to this period so pure, may it respect itself.

Our schools will then again have well deserved of France, and of that Prince truly her son, who has at heart to consecrate to her all the power be has received from her." No words more worthy, more circumspect, more sincere, were ever uttered by a Minister. It was the language of probity and of honour, worthy to be listened to by the Professors of the University, and which the pupils they had brought up received with enthusiasm. THE EISG OF THE NETHERLAXDS. William Frederic, King of the Netherlands, is the eldest son of Wil liam the fifth Stadtholder, descended from John, the youngest brother of our William 111. His present Majesty was born at the Hague, on the s4eh of August, 1772, and consequently was 68 years old the 24th of last month. His mother was a Princess of Prussia. From hh early years he was distinguished by habits of study and industry, evincing little relish fOr the frivolities of a Court ; and since his accession to sovereign power he has been frequently pointed out as that monarch of Continental Europe who profited most by the lessons of Providence during the awful vicissitudes that accompanied the French Revolution. In 1791, being then a Lieutenant-Hen. in his father's army, he married his moans, the sister of the reigning King of Prussia, who gave birth to the resent Prince of Orange in 1792. The National Convention of France having declared war against the Stadtholder In 1733, William Frederick was appointed Commmander-intCh' of tile - Dutch army. in which he displayed considerable talent, - tom,, in 1794,- captured the fortress of Landrecy with a garrison o seven thousand men, which bad formerly held out against Charles V. afit Prince Eugene. After this brilliant triumph, the Emperor placed the Austrian brae lit the Netherlands under his which raised his tarty to fifty thousand men, with which he raised the s i ege o f Cludinel, compelling the French, after an obstinate contest of levammen Won, to remiss the Sambre. In 1706, howeetr, the Innink Muir became so powerful that all Holland was compelled to and the thadtbolder, with his family, including the present an asylum in England . By the treaty concluded at Paris and beam and. Prussia, in 1802, Fulda, Dortm u nd, an d ot h er petty Zult Inn= in emeemsy, were assigned as an indemnity to the House of doge, for Ifte relinquishment of their calms on Holland, and almost Immediately after the Stadtholder transferred the new acquisitions to his eldest sat.—. William Frederick immediately took up his residence at Fulda, in the midst of his new subjects, and devoted his whole attention to their happiness. On the breaking out of the war between Napoleon and the King of Prussia, which waa decided by the single battle of Jena, WHIM= Frederick accepted a command in the Prussian service, and was, in consequence, at the termination of the war, de prived of his new sovereignty. He then lived with his family in privacy at Dantslc until the brisling out of fresh hostilities between France and Austria, when be accepted a command under the Archduke Charles, and was present at the battle of Wagon, in 1809. Some time since he again visited England; and when the Dutch, encouraged by the success of the Allies, resolved to separate themselves from France, they unanimously offered him the sovereignty of the United Provinces, and in March, 1814, a Charter of Liberty was solemnly sworn to by the Prince and Deputies of the Provinces. The Congress of Vienna having afterwards determined to incorporate Belgium with the United Pro vinces, in 1816, William Frederick was proclaimed King of the Ne therlands. and made his public entry into Brussels in the month of April, 1816, and in the month of September in that year—the bank of Waterloo in the meantime, having, as was supposed, secured the sta bility of his throue—b e was proclaimed W illia m 1. King of the Netherlands. THE TURF. TATTERSALL'S. It is many years since than Warwick races have etched so vneral an interest as those about to take place.
