...7 y. • from ter item This is preeisely.the spirit of kiln laames and Proclantatioas Which the Allies ht ti iiitiesi slate they arrived on the frontiers of France. The language . which they have used may bare been more courtly than ours, but we drink at the same fountain. i It is the duty of an English Journalist to call a spade a spade, and take things by the right handle. We like not that " grinning ho lour"-.—and we possess none of that " tremulous sen aibillty" which would leave BONAPARTE and his gang In possession of a single inch of the territory of others; blt even the power to wag . their lips is supplication for • mercy ! Ahd no* that we have cleared our way by ho. acstly avowing that we partake of the sacred inane** which is regenerating Europe, let us meet the great' question of PRA= or WAR with BONAPARTE. If it ' be the chief glory of a great mind to look at adver. sity without shrinking, surely the man who can drink of the cup of prosperity without exhibiting symptoms of intoxication is not without his claims upon our ad miration. In the same spirit then of moderation and disinterestedness which BONAPA RTE has so emphati cally denounced to such of the French nation a*will Iselleve him—in the spirit of peace and good-will to all men—the Allis cannot terminate the war with the enemy of all peace they cannot even receive a negotiator from BONAPARTE. The flag of truce which enters the allied camps must wave over his dead body; and it must be identified to be his before they can take the bandage from the eyes of the bearer of the olive branch. This language is not new—it was uttered by To- TUSOFF to LAVIUSTON in front of Moscow.—“ If you want an armistice," said this gallant veteran, 1 6 send the dead body of your Emperor, as a proof that you are sincere." But if the Allies make Peace with BONAPARTa, will their subjects withdraw their claim of retaliation upon him and his Generals ? Will the widow and orphans of the murdered Palm of Nuremberg—the relatives of the DukeD'ENGozw, or the next of kin of the brave Citizens of Moscow, who were shot in cold blood for defending their country--all these claimants for the fulfilment of the law of nature—will they forego their claims, even if their legitimate Sovereigns so far forget theit dignity as to acknowledge a murderer and a cut-throat as a member of the confederacy of European Sovereigns ?, Will the widows and orphans of Spain, Portugal, Holland, Bavaria, Saxony, Russia, Prustia, Great Britain, 'and even France itself, throw off their suits of mourning and forget that BONAPARTE and his Mar shals, his Generals and his Senators, are the criminals who have taken away the lives of those who were near and dear to them ? But let us .look a little nearer home, before we settle this question. Can Great Britain make peace with France while BONAPARTE is at the head of the Government ? Our answer is confinee to the simple monosyllable, No ! Have our countrymen forgotten , the hollow truce of Amiens—the seizure of the un tiespecting British subjects at the breaking out of this second Punic war—the stooling of Lord LAUDERDALE to Paris by Mr. Fox—the treatment of that Nobleman by the clubfooted Prince of BENaysxTE, and the un reformed Prostitute, whom he made his wife, and ZONAPARTIC a Princess ? Is there an Englishman, with a good old English heart, from the premier Peer of our Nobility down to the humble but not unmanly frequmter of the prize•sghts between Cribb and Molineux, who would now go to Paris and dance attendance in: the anti-room of the executioner' CAU• UNCOUET, the u HCACISMED" to BONAPARTE, the poi• sneer of the prisoners at Jaffa ? Is there an English Gentleman, or an English coal-heaver, who would degrade himself by snuffing the air of the same apartment with the greasy butchers, galley.slaves, and unacquitted felons who compose Nis mountebank Legislative Body and his party-coloured Senate Are our Readers aware, that the same men are stilt• in office who came to the bar of the regicide tribunals of Paris, with their hands reeking alternately with the blood of their parents and their children—those revolutionary mon sters wl.o dragged every man to the lamp-post or the gui:lotine who wore a clean shirt, and refused to cover his head with a butcher's night-cap ? We cannot send Lord LAUDERDALE or Professor DCOALID StEwART to Paris again, on a voyage of discovery. We have business sufficient for our States. men and Philosophers at home. Our English sto melts are turned, *hen we see them kicked and cuffed by a French scoundrel. • Again we say we cannot make peace with the present Government of .France—RosTorcum, the heroic Governor of Moscow, will not permit us if we 'ere willing—they are a set of demoralized wretches n 1 must be " g;ound to powder," according to the ot thy Moscovite's Proclamation, before the world :an be at seat ! We shall return to this glorious :barge tomorrow.—" I am only going to dinner," said the Hero whom we have just been quoting, “ Give me your help, my dear fellow countrymen, and we will grind the wretches to powder when I gmurn." Wn.rnsott, Dec s.—The weather has been so ex temely unf.Lvourable, that the Royal Family have tut been out of the Castle since Wednesday, when they went to Frogmore.—Her MAJESTY has been pleased to appoint Lady MARY TAYLOR to be a Lady la Waiting to the Princess AUGUSTA, in the room of Lady ONSLOW. • EMANCIPATION OP HOLLAND. The Asrdea trod the LAM- miners have arrived at Deal, from Admiral Yovno's squadron, off the Coast of Holland, but no intelligence has reached the Ad- Miradty.- It ma' ba concluded, therefore, that the Acme and Emil trim no news. • • The Duke of Banaswtmes horses :we embarked for Holland isr a transport now in the Downs. We pre. some his Serene Highneis will also - set out for the sante destination. _ The Dutch Primers is. land have to a man declared for their country. 'We copy the following article on the subject from the Reading Mercury of Saturday : 86 Passports for the Dutch officers prisoners of war on their parille in this town are arrived. On Mon day they will leave us for Colchester, to take the corn -m and of the Dutch regiments which are organizing at that place. To their honour and patriotism, it is .our pleasing duty to record, 'that the first announce. meat of the news from Holland was hailed by them with the most heartfelt satisfaction ; joy beamed in every countenance, and but one sentiment animated the whole—that of a desire to participate in the gin• rious deliverance of their country. 86 A meeting was immediately called, and °eve. ral de Koca and Captain BARBER were chosen dele gates and dispatched to London io tender their ser vices to the PRINCE of ORANSE. The acceptance of this offer crowned the summit of their wishes ; Eng lish and Dutch with hand and heart congratulated each other on the happy events, and the Orange was universally hoisted with Onafhauglykheid, the watch word of independence. Let Frenchmen and besotted admirers of BoNarßarz read this, and ask, if ever their bosoms experienced a sensation equal to this Amor Patric, will Holland bend again beneath the yoke of slavery ? No. The fiat of liberty is passethr. Dutchmen will it, 4 . And nought shall make them roe, " If Holland to itself do rest but woo. U Perhaps, 'ere long, the insulted world may be rid of the detested Monster, who has sacrificed millions to his blood.thirsty tyranny ; the conspiracy of MAL LET and his companions is not. forgotten, and the flame may not be extinguished, which, even in death, exultingly burst forth in the proud avowal-: , We are not the last of the Romans." We have more than once noticed. the rejection of the Russian Mediation betweea Great Britain and the United States. The following, which may be consi dered as demi-official, sets the question completely at rest:— " Lord WAvo.L E had not arrived at St. Peters burgh three dals before he intimated to the Russian Midistry, that as his Britannic Majesty's Govern ment had already distinctly-and explicitly refused to admit of the mediation or interference of any other. power in our quarrel with America ; and as the stay in Russia of the Republican Cominissioners after that determination was known, would only tend to mis lead the world, he was instructed to signify that the dismission of the said Commissioners would be par- ticularly pleasing to the British Government." Orders were yesterday given for every thing to be in readiness this morning at seven o'clock, lot the Duke of CAMBRIDGE'S departure, to proceed on his way to Hanover, accompanied by Count MUNSTER. His Royal Highness is to be attended by itis Staff, which has been appointed as follows :—Gen. Adjutant-General; Major REYNETT, Secretary I Cap- I tale LINSINGEN, Brigade - Major ; ilstain DAVISON, ditto ; Colonel BEST, Captains WITGLIBEN and TEWENT, as Aides-de-Camp. The Princess CHARLOTTE and Duke o - CAIIBRIDOE attended Divine Service yesterday, at the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace. Fhe Emperors ALEXANDER and FRANCT*, Wifh. the Kings of PRUSSIA, BAVARIA, and WURTEMBERO, re. mained at Frankfort. The King of BAVARIA has issued orders for a general armament. The King of WURTEMBERG has published a Manifesto against Prance. According to the Austrian official account of the battle of Hockheim, the enemy lost 12,000 men, and 60 pieces of cannon. The provisions of the Berlin and Milan Decrees have been formally abrogated in all the States of the late League of the Rhine. A Gentleman who came passenger on board a ship from Bourdeaux, which left the Gironne on Monday last, informs us that the Conscription was carried into effect throughout Guienne and Gascony ; that boys of fifteen were dragged from the houses of their pa rents, aad were sent in detachments of 2 and 300, to reinforce the army under SOULT. In his view of the matter, it was not a subject of fear, but of hope, at Bourdeaux, that Lord WELLINGTON would take pos. session of Bayonne; and the consequence be expected was, that the whole country would be open to him to the mouth of the Garonne. The Mauritius Gazettes, which have been received by us, are to the 7th June. They contain no politi cal intelligence. The hydrophobia had, in February, attained a most alarming height in the settlement. Instances occurred daily of canine madness. Four slaves at Pert Louis had died: several inhabitants at other places ' • and a son of Mr. GO NDE RV ILLE a t Flacq. The Governor had, by proclamation, ordered 'the destruction of all dogs, as a reward for the head of each brought to the police office. The slaughter was in consequence immense; upwards of 8000 hav ing been killed. Some proprietors had given secu rity to keep their dogs tied up, and water always be fore them. Sunday sennight, in the evening, as Doctor RONAN, of Cork, was returning from the vicinity of Bandon in a chaise, on passing the stream at Arderoestig, the rains had so swollen ihe body of water that the chaise and horses were carried down by the impetuosity of the flood. The Doctor, with the driver, were drowned, and their bodies found next morning in a field, 'at a considerable distance from the road. 141,41 , 4 L bitILLIGEATE. • mama _ Aka. boa. all. 60e.
