4R \• i ;' - gib lade of dress, Ater my other clothes, when tbftravel on foot), " It is true, Sire, that such • play app4-'-a little singular ; but imperieur stances, alt a the irnpsfssibility of procuring hr obliged us to take this step ; and I believe! in my pocket which prove the truth of the !lave given of myself." Napoleon's features here relax-d into a smil.; and . never can forget the kindness with which. he eyed me, whilst he said, " you have then learnt Greek and Latin; what authors have you studied?" Nr.t a little surprised at this unexpected question, I mentioned Homer, Thucydides, Cicero, and Horace; upon which he replied, " That is good, very good;' and then turning to Berthier, he added, " I do not think this young man is a spy, but the other who is with hios is probably one, and has I.rtiught this young man tot avoid suspicion. " He then made a slight inclination of - j the head, as a signal for me to retire-; upon which 1 bowed vi roundly, and passed into the antechamber ; af.er which, Mr. Regel was introduced. This was the first and last occasion on which I ever beheld Napoleon. The expres ion of his countenance remains indelibly present to my mind; it was at that time thin and sallow; but every feature beamed with intelligence. I was more patticulat ret struck with the penetrating glance of his eye, which seemed, if I may so express' myself, to anticipate the answer to every question. by reading it intuitively in the soul. His manner was at first somewhat repulsive and abrupt, but hecame gradually softer, and in the end quite prepos ses-ing. There were several words which 1 felt some difficulty to express in French; amongst which I re member, were " baggage waggons" (fourgon) and " wheelbarrow" (Oroutte). He himself, however, imme diately suggested the appropriate terms ; and it appeared to me, that nothing could shrpass the lucid and com prehensive nature of all his questions and remarks. He omitted nothing that was accessary, and asked nothing that was superfluous. I entered IA apartment under the impression that I was allowed to appear before the greatest man of the age. My prejudices against him, I must admit, were very strong. !considered him as the implacable enemy of my count: y, and the restless sub jugator of Europe; but I could not quit his presence without admiring the acuteness of his intellect, and feeling the fa-cination e f his smile. It is a circum stance not unworthy of remark, that of the four indi viduals peseta at this interview, I am now the only survivor. After descending the staircase. I repaired to a kind of bonfire, which was burning not far from the house, and around which there were a number of French soldiers; some of wham were sleeping, and rtine conversing with much noise and gesticulation. One of the latter, who was leaning his head upon his elbow, eyed me very contemptuously, and addressing me in the very same words which Napoleon had usedo exclaimed " Qui etes vows Not thinking it necessary to treat him with mach ceremony, and supposing that, in such a declara tion, I should command some portion of his respect, I drew up, and replied with a frown, " I am a stranger, and I hive just had the honour of being examined by the Emperor." This, however, did not produce the desired effect ; for the soldier only looked at me still more indignantly, and exclaimed, " Pardi ! it is pretty apparent that this is the time of war ; in time of peace, yr u would not be permitted to approach the Emperor by 300 paces." He then turned his head away, and no farther n-tice was taken of me, either by him or by any of the others. Regel, in the mean time, was examined by the Emperor, and returned nearly similar answers to nearly similar queries ; but when he stated that private affairs had rendered us anxious to reach Leipz . c without delay, Napoleon interrupted him, and said, " What private affairs could be of sufficient importance to make you resolve upon passing through two hostile armies? I can't cOnceive that private affairs done could have in duced you to take this step." Mr. Regel replied, that we were provided with the necessary passports for pass ing through the Prussian army, without any molesta tion ; and that with respect to the French, we had no expectation of falling into their hands; for we supposed that they were advancing to a quite opposite direction; nay, he believed that such was the opinion of the Prus sians, end of the Duke of Brunswick himself. Napoleon thrn exclaimed with a smile, " They are blockheads; they have prodigiously deceived themselve.." As scon as Mr. Regel's examina,ion was over, Na peleon said to Count Frohberg, " Detain them for some days till something decisive has happened, and then dismiss. them.!' Mr. Regel then joined me in the street- We repaired to a kind of public house in the neighbourhood, and entered one of the rooms. We here found many soldiers lsing upon chairs, or stretched on the floor ; bottles, gl saes, spilt wine, and beer, fragments of victuals, &c. lay in confusion on the table; the odour and appear ace, of the whole apartment were equally offensive and disgusting. I threw open one of the windows, and sat there in the hope that I might still have an opportunity to see. my friend Count Frohberg; nor was I disap poiuted ; for, in about an hour, he passed withimsight of the window. On catcalling to him, be came to me immeirately ; and having predetermined what to say to him, " My dear Cuing, 1. exclaimed, " you have been it, England, and acknuw ledge that you there met %%kb much kindness and hospitality. I hope you will avail yourself of this opportunity (the only one which may ever occur) to chew sour gratitude for the atten tions you experienced. Pray return to the Emperor, and expostulate with him upon the cruelty of leaving us in this foil rn place; mote especially as we have fallen into his hands on neutral ground, and without any evil design. I hope that his Majesty will at an, rate permit us to return to Gera, where we shall final cur, baggage, where our situation will be far more coma lot table, and where we shall be equally unable to ch• any mischief, even it such were our intention or wish." Tile Count readily complied with my request; and 'returning almost immediately, informed me, that we had leave to return to Gera, and that the Emperor had added with a smile, " As for tire young snag, tell him that I am well pleased with the naivete of his answers."

Amongst others, my friend Count Frohberg authorita tively demanded lodgings. The post-master shrugged up his shoulders and exclaimed, "'Se muss icA fin furgliches Dmisser onfmacke; I" and he at last gave up some apartments reserved, as I understood, for the accommodation of one of the Sovereign Princes of Reuss. The Count was so obliging as to procure one of these rooms for my use during one night. The next morning he also ohtained permission for us to reside on parole at the house of 41,fr. Weisaenborn, a friend of sir. liners, who resided a little way beyond the town, and who received us with the greatest kindness. Ile held a very respectable situation under the Prince of Reuss, and behaved, in very trying circumstances, with great firmness and urbanity. I again experienced a mast kind reception from my worthy friend, when I revisited Germany in 1816. His house had been several times plundered ; but before we came and brought our baggage there, a guard had been stationed for its pro tection. Mr. W. not only had several Officers and soldiers quar► tered successively in his house, but was constantly annoyed by demands for rations, forage, &c. Amid all his difficulties, I never saw him lose his temper, though many circumstances occurred to irritate and annoy him. I was informed that many of the houses in the neighbourhood were plundered in the most wanton manner; that the locks were sometimes forced open, even when the keys were tendered to the marauders; that they often broke bottles of vinegar, when disappointed in their expectation of finding wine, and that scenes were everywhere exhibited of wasteful ~nd un• feeling outrage. We here received the bulletins of the progress of the French army with great regaLuity, and heard from the top of a Church the distant sounds of the cannonade of the fatal battle of Jena.— Nor was it possible to retied, without shuddering, that every re port, which falhtly reached our ears, indicated the continuance of slaughter and desolation, and would cense the of the widow to tow, and the heart of the orphan to bleed. I learned with more sorrow than surprise the event of this de. chive action, by which the chains of Germany were, for a time, more strongly rivetted than ever. I shall not attempt to describe our own silent consternation, or the triumphant enthusiasm of the French troops, with whom we bad an opportunity to converse, whilst they were eagerly advancing to join their victorious comrades. The French Commandant at Gera delayed for several days, under various pretexts, to furnish .us with passports; but I at length contrived to see him ; and, after reminding him that his orders were to detain us, until something ffecisive bad taken place, I asked him whether this had not already been realized to the greatest possible extent? Ile laughed, and told me, that he be fitted I could not now do any harm, if I were ever so willing. He accordingly signed my passport, and we set out as soon as pos sible fur Altenburg', where I parted from my friend, Mr. Beget, and proceeded alone to Dresden. I here experlented a very civil reception from the French Com mandant, Colonel Thistd L but although I might detail many circumstances which I remember with peculiar interest,and which might not be devoid of importance in the eyes of the Reader, I think it more advisable here to close the narrative of events, which I have perhaps recorded with too much minuteness, but which afford to me a never-failing source of varied and pleasant retrospection. the rest of the Royal family : but it is reported that her Milesty will pass some months at Madrid : her brother Ktau Frit DINANS, and two of the young Princesses will accompany her.—On the 14th the old custom of taking farewell of the deceased Monarch, by kissing his hands, had been publicly practised. Every act of the Regency was performed in the name of Dort Panass, to whom a Messenger had been sent in a vessel which sailed the 12th of March. Sir WILLIAM A'Coorr is said to be •ery assiduous, and to exercise a decisive In fluence over the Regency, notwithstanding the opposition of the Ambassador of Spain and the Charge d'Affaires of France. On the 16th ult. the Pore held a public Conventory in the Vatican, when the two new Cardinals 1111cAttA and CAPELLA VU. received the hat with the usual ceremonies. The intelligence from Madrid comes down to the 21st ult., at •which period it was rumoured to be the intention of the Spanish Government to assemble an army of observation near the (renders of Portugal, probably under some apprehension that the Cortes and Constitutional System might be restored in that kingdom. It was also asserted that Ferdinand had refused to recognise the Regency of Portugal. on account of the manner in which it was constituted. An affray took place in Madrid on the 19th of I .‘larcla between the Swiss and the Spanish soldiers of the garrison, in which some shots were fired, and some men wounded on both sides, but which had not led, as it had been feared, to a general explosion. The Moil. informs us that all the Bishops of France have lately given an honourable specimen of good sense and independence, which shows that the Dignitaries of the Catholic Church themselves think it necessary to resist the efforts now making to restore the exploded supremacy of the • Roman Pontiff. They have declared in letters addressed to the King," that they do not believe that the Pope of Some, or any other foreign Prince, has, or ought to have, any jurisdiction, civil or temporal, any power, supremacy, or pre eminence in the kingdoms, either directly or indirectly." Accounts from Bilboa state - That the province of Biscay is armed m muse, and ready to proceed to the coast on the first intelligence of any lauding of insurgents. The Austrian tobserver of the 22J ult. in reference to the health of the Emperor of Ausrars, says, " It is not possible, after so serious an illness, for the convalescence to procee: more satisfactorily than in the case of his Mssiesrv. To-day his MaJBWIT has, for the first time, Wien some light animal food. The recovery of his 'Siaarrn\going on so regularly, we intend to close the daily accounts of his health with this day's communication." Dutch !Wets to the Ist in.t. reached us this forenoon. These Journals continue to give at length the official accounts of the *friars of Java to the 9th November, which were on the whole 'Pry satisfactory. They cositain also an account of the destruction of a piratical ship by the colonial schooner Johanna, Capt. Scum.sa. Frankfort Papers of the 27th March, received this morning, contain an article from Leipsic, which after stating that the Persians who were expected at the fair had arrived with money and bills of exchange, says—" To the failures already mentioned, we regret to add, that of the house of Rieman, which has existed for 170 years ; it is one of the first in the.leatbor trade, and the chief of It is very much pitted." Hamburgh Papers to the 30th ult. reached us this forenoon. They contain a long account of the prepa rations making for the funeral of the late ENIPII,ROR, which it is said will be attended by all the Imperial family, including the Grand Duke CONSTANTIN& All the foreign Princes at St. Petersburgh, as well as the Duke of Watztleovorr, and several of the great Officers of State, had gone to Zarskojesselo, to be ready to receive the funeral procession on its arrival there.—The battalion, composed of soldiers who took part in the rebellion on the 26th of December, had set out on its march to the Caucasus, to be employed this spring against the rebellious mountaineers. They go by land to Twer, and then embark On the Wolga for the Caspian Sea. Brussels Papers to the lst instant reached us this forenoon, containing an account of the close of the Session of the Second Chamber of the States General. The Minister of the Interior, in his address, thus al luded to some commercial enactments which have been made in the Netherlands. " The modifications which have been made in the tariff of import and export duties, are so many ameliorations called for by an industry which is continually increasing, and the iin• portance of which you have perceived. It is thus that, by endeavouring to perfect the general system of our taxes, we shall succeed, if not in fixing it, at least in placing it on a better foundation; for invagiability is a thing impossible in political economy, especially in what regards the custom-house, in which we must ne cessarily follow external influence." The following are extracts: HAGUE, MAacH 25. SITTING OF THE 2D CHAMBER 01 THE STATES GENERAL. The sitting opened at noon. The races verbal of the last sitting was read, but Aid not be approved, because there were too few members present. The President gave notice that he had received Vat ious messages from the first Chamber, in which it de clared its assent to the project of law containing all the chapters of the 341 Book of the Code of Commerce, and that of the Civil Code, treating of property to that making some changes in the tariff of Customs, and to. that authorising a loan of twenty millions for the Colonies The President having caused a Royal tlecree to be read, which appoints the Mihister of the Interior to close in his Majesty's name the present Se►sion of the States General at one o'clock, M. Van Sasse Van Tsselt rose and said, " Allow me, Sir, to ask you a question, to which, however, I raped' only an answer from coin tesy ; the Director-General of the affairs of the Catholic Worship lately promised us an official communication of the negociations between the Belgian Government and the Court of Rome; I ask you, Sir, whether the documents relative to theta negociationc have come to your knowledge The President having announced that on account of this incom plete state of the Chamber, be could not charge himself with any communication, M. Van Sus continued. " The Director General of the Affairs of the Catholic worship having solemnly engaged, in this Chamber, to make to us a com munication of six •ery interesting papers, since they were to serve to tranquillize people's minds, and timorous consciences, it is im portant that people should know how far that functionary hai filled his ptomiee, and consequently observed the respect due to the Chamber." The President replied that be had received no document relative to this subject. The two Chambers met together at half•past twelve, and the Session was closed by the Minister of the Interior. The Greeks, unaided asare, have gained another signal triumph over their enemies, and Missolonghi, which has so long been threatened with extermination, waves the proud banners of the cross iii defiance of the Moslem hordes that besieged it.

WO S 14 We have received the French Papers of Saturday, and the blade of yesterday by express. The latter con firms the accounts we have elsewhere given of the suc cess of the Greek:. It appears that - IBRAHIM PACHA commenced his attack on Missolonghi on the 28th of February, and carried one of the batteries, but the_ posi; tion was undermined by the Greeks, and a thousand Egyptians who occupied it were blown up. Oa the Ist of March, IBRAHIM renewed the attack, but without success, and the next day he sustained a complete defeat. It is said that a body o' Greeks, from Salonna, contras Ind ed by Colona FAavtea, attacked the Egyptians in the rear, and male dreadful carnage among them, is saisi to have lost several thousand men in these attacks ; he afterwards retired on Aspic) Pistamos, without preserving a communication with the coast.— The report of his retreat to.. Papas, is not coofirmed. —A vessel which left Syia en the Scl of Mardi states ( that a great number of small •easels were preparing a r fr• formidable attack on Missolonghi, Is :sera PAcli4 sent a last summons, promising to grant the garrison a free retreat; bat this summons was treated with the same contempt as all its predecessors. Aware of the magnitude of the danger by which they were threatened, and that they had no ally on earth, the iohasiitates and defenders of the undaunted city applied to their CstaA. TO/t, and on 28th February received-the Sacrament in all their temples, and prepared to meet the coming storm with a degree of superhuman euthusla m. On the 2d of March it burst upon .them in all its fury machines, cannons, bombs, all the assistance renegades could supply were employed at once to crush a !undid of Christi ins fighting on the threshold of their homes and at the foot of their altars,—but were employed id vain: The fleet by sea, the army by land, and European officers in both, combined their efforts to annihilate if they could not subdue, but on every side PUOVIDENCE guarded the Faithful whom earth deserted. Every assault was repelled, and alter losing between four and five thousand men in killed and wounded, the rest of the half-disciplined Egyptian troops disbanded themselves, and latrantm PACIIA returned to Patras: but not be fore he had caused the heads of some of his principal officers to be cot off, a chastisement which it is to be hoped fell on same of the Benegadoes by whom he was led. He also sent his K*ga Bey into Albania to enlist new troops, a fact which bears testimony to ate-event of the loss which he must have experience-I. The Greeks, adds the i2oile, " are beside themselves with joy. Another event has a little contributed to increase their hopes. Some English vessels, coming from Alex andria with cargoes belonging to the Viceroy, and bound to the Morea, were stopped and visited by the Greeks, who considered them as private property, and confiscated them. The Captains came to complain, and to ask justice of the Government of the lonian Islands; but they received for answer, that they were indebted for their mis fortunes to their own fault." A private Letter from Colombo, in the i,land of Ceylon, dated Nov. 18, 1825, says, - , " The'day before yesterday an official communication was said to have been made to Government of the cessation of hostilities with the Burmese. They have accepted of the terms offered by the Company, who are to receive two crores of rupees, b-sides what have already been plundered from the several mosques, &c. and the English are to have possession of Rangoon, Pegue, Manahan, A , and of course the island of Ckedutia : so report says. The Government Gaulle contains nothing mote than that peace is esta blished at the Burman country." WINDSOR, APRIL 2.—Althdugh his Ni*JesTy's health is now nearly restored, be has not yet been able to leave hie apart ment—the weather being too changeable and cold to admit of his taking any out-door exercise. His MAJesTY has, with his char?cteristic munificence, made a second donation of On THOUSAND POUNDS to the Spite'. fields' Committee. Sir HENRY HALPOiID left London on Friday evening for the King's Lodge, Windsor Park, on a visit to his Maaxtry Sir Hume returned to town on Saturday about noon. The English Ambassador, Mr. STRATFORD CMS. trnre, arrived at Constantinople on the night of tiat 27th January. CityREPRESENTATION.—Mr. Alderman MoMPEON will certainly offer himself for the City Representation at the Ge. neral Election; and with his principles and necessary qualifications for the important and honourable situation, there crn be nu doubt of his success. Sir Wina.rwar Coars retires. The King of DENMARK has permitted the Bishop of kneels, in conjunction with the other Bishops and superior Clergy, to draw up, for the celebration of the loooth Anniversary of the in troduction of Christianity into Denmark, an historical Essay on the Baptise of King HAROLD KLAUS, and its effects in spreading Christianity in Denmark : it is to be printed at the K we's expence, and distributed among the Clergy, but his MAJESTY does not in. - tens that there shall be any solemnities on the occasion to induce farther expellee. Yesterday, in the Church or St. Martin in the Fields, a middle aged Gentleman publicly read his recantation from the errors of the Church of Rome. Accounts have been received from Demerara to the 7th February; the colony was healthy, and the nerher line. The new regulatioans for the treatment of the slaves were carried into execution without complaint, except the new regulations respecting the female slaves. The stocks, and the painful attitudes they are placed in I to: a certain time, as a commutation for flogging, are exclaimed loudly agains►. Cannel YOUNG is appointed protector of slaves in the colony, with a salary of 2000!. per annum. The American Papers contain' a financial document of some consequence. The Secretary of the Treasury bad presented a Report, which, as matter of course, w as referred to the Committee of Ways and Means. The estimate of the Secretary chews a balance of the debt et the year 1826, of nine millions of dollars ; and in the debt of the year 1827, of six millions, making together fifteen millions; whereas the Conunittee make a balance of only 8,351,803. This difference arises from the Com mittee's having added to the annual appropriation of the Sinking Fund. the surplus, estimated by the Secre tary to be an the Treasury at the end pf each year, viz : —At the end of 1826, 2,915;4'69 dollars, and at theend of 1827, 4,915,269. They contend that this application is authorised by the law of 1817. Makes from Mexico, to the 2d of February, were received on Saturday. They ►tate, that contrary to the general expectation. much opposition had been made by the Government to the alterations proposed by Mr. CANNING in the Mexican treaty, which was carried back by Mr. Monte& This opposition has assumed so decided a character, that Mr. WA an made preparations for returning to England, and even sent off a portion of his baggage to the coast, to be placed on board his Majesty►s ship VIGILANT. In this state of thing., however, a wish was expressed by the Govern ment to enter again into a negotiation, the result if which had not transpired, when the present advices left Mexico. It was generally supposed'that if Mr. Monier' remains firm, he will in the end carry his point. The subject in dispute is believed in Mexico to be the right of search, and the determining what shall or shall not constitute a Mexican vessel. It is farther said, that the right of search had been given up on making the first treaty, but that Mr. CANNING would not ra4ily it with that article as a part of it. The American Minister in Mexico was believed to be using great exertions to in duce the Mexican Government to remain firm on the point at issue, great jealousy being entertained by the Americans at the superior influence of the English. A ,report of the Mexican finances has been published by Erravn e lhe Minister at Finance, in which he calculates that at the end of the year 1826, there will be a surplus of 992,500 dollars of receipt over expenditure. '1 he accounts received from the mining districts are said in these letters to be favourable. A letter is said-to have been received frnm Havannah, stating that an expsdid o n was preparing there to land on the vast of Mexico; the Mexicans are, however, mots likely , to attack the Havannah.
