is always charming. I give her every day lessons in writing and reading. She sews very well, and repasie as well; she has already worked several frills for me, and some gowns, with whi:h lam very well satisfied. Her desire of travelling is the same; pray try to get her a situation, I am convinced she wilt give you no cause to regret it. She is much altered for the better; she is gay, and always in good humour, mild, obliging, in short, of a character to make herself beloved wherever she goes ; for she has an excellent heart, and knows how to be con tented in all situations. Margaret is entirely amiable, of a pretty figure, and so lively, that she makes one half dead with laugh.. t rg.—Louisa is very genteel. I assure you, dear Marlette, they ari all changed very much for the better, and I am quite con .l nt,d with them. I have for this month put in my favourite chamber at Co 'ombier, where some repairs have been done, for example, a good chimney, and a small cabinet, wherein I sleep. I make little excursions often in our environs; and frequently receive visits, which afford me amusement. " I think I hear you say, Well, dear Louisa, what do you mean to de? Won't you marry? What does I will tell you, word for word. I every day feel more and more repugnance to marriage, has done all in his power to induce me to accept a heart, which, he says, he has preserved for me these seven years ;—&•what heroical constancy, and little worthy of the age in which we live! ! I shall not, however, be dazzled by it ; and although he be rich, charming, and amiable, I do not wish to retract the refusal I gave him four years ago. " If this amuse you, I will tell you I have several other lovers, not less desirable than he. I am very foolish, perhaps, to refuse them ; for they are infinitely better than I am--per haps I may one day repent it. You know the proverb, O He who will not, &c." But I cannot do otherwise. Recent events have created in me a sort of antipathy to men—l can have no connexion, no communication with any of them—l love and cherish sweet liberty alone, and wish to preserve it as long as I can. " Dear Mariette, I conjure you, imitate my example, and never think of marrying. My mother and I forbid it, as long as her Royal Highness shall wish to keep you :n ber service You can have no greater happiness. It is impossible ! Beware of forming any attachment—you are too young—remain free. Be assured you will be a thousand tunes more happy. " I do not recommend prudence to you, because I know you too well to distrust you; but although it may be said of me th.t. I would die rather than abandon it for an instant, and deviate from the strict path of virtue, the most precious good we possess, yet I have known some persons suspect my conduct. But I have Con and my own conscience for witnesses. Are they not sufficient for my peace? No one can deprive one of that. No, I have nothing to reproach myself with on that head, and you know, therefore, I can give you such advice as ) ou should follow, especially as it is also that of our mother. Dear Sister, if you dare, place me at the feet of her Royal Highness, beseeching her to accept my humble respects, do not WI, I entreat you, when she speaks of me, to endeavour to convince her my repentance is still the same, that I conjure her to restore me to her favour. Tell me if her Royal Highness i s still so en raged against me, and if there is not any appearanc e of a pardon ; but tell me always the truth. Try also to persuade h:r Royal Highness that I ant, and always shall be, so entirely devoted to her, that uo sacntice I could make for her would ap pear too great, and that she may even dispose of my life, which shall for ever be consecrated to her service. Tell the Baron, also, that I am very sensible of his remembrance, and beg him to ac cept the assurance of my perfect acknowledgement. Embrace for me the charming Victorine; repeat also my thanks to the Count, and assure him I shall never forget his kindness. Re member me to the Countess, Madame Livia, and Mr. William, begging them to receive the assurance of my sincere friendship. " If I were to tell you all those who send you salutations, I Lould want two more pages, for every one is interested for you, al 1 they never cease to wish for your happiness. Believe, how ever, the most sincere wishes are made by us. " You will tell Mr. Hyronymus that John is quite well, and that Mr. Hi; hoard is not paid for; and tell Mr. Hyronymus, on the re_ e 1 1 t cf this letter, I beg he will immediately send an order t • trust not delay, for I have no money. " You will not do wrong if you wild me at the same time, the two Napoleons, to make up the twenty-five, if you can. It is I who scud you the gown ; instead of lace, you should trim it with muslin. Make my compliments to Mr. Hyronymus, and tell him the first time I write again, I will give hint more parti clqars respecting his son, because I hope to have more room.- 1 v i.h very much to know how ink is made with that powde r which he gave me; and what he has done with the two pictures I sent him at the Villa d'Esta. Adieu, dear and good sister. We embrace you cordially. A rtply at once if you please.--Your sister, " Bth February, 1818. LOUISA DE MONT. Mademoiselli Mariette Bron, a Pesaro." “ A. TRANSLATION OF A LETTER FROM MADEMOISELLE DIMONT TO THE QUEEN, DATED 16TH NOV. 1817. " It is on my knees that I write to my generous benefactress, I•eseeching her to pardon my boldness, but I cannot resist my (LeHogs. Besides, I am convinced that if her Royal Highness knew the frightful stile into which I am plunged, she would tot be offended at my temerity. My spirits cannot support my nisfortune ; I am overwhelmed by it, and I am more than per- EL:ailed I shall sink under it. I feel a dreadful weakness; a mortal inquietude consumes me internally, and I do not feel one moment of tranquillity. A crowd of reflections on Me pan in•dness of her Foyal Highness, and on my apparent ingratitude overwhelm me. May her Royal Highness deign to take pity on me; may she deign to restore me her precious favour, which I have unhappily lost by the mast deadly imprudence; say I re ceive that soft assurance before I die of grief; she alone cm restore me to life. I dare again to conjure, to supplicate, the clemency and com p.:sim of her Royal Highness, Mat the will grant Ise the carom your of destroying Mose two fatal lepers; to know that they are in the hands of her Royal ilighneso i and that they oil constantly bar testimony against my past conduct, kills nte. The aversion which I have merited on the part of her Royal Highness, instead of diminishing, would be increased by reading them. " I permit myself to assure her Royal Highness, that it is only the granting of these two favours which can preserve my hie, and restore to me that repose which I have lost. My fault, 1/ is true, is eery great and irreparable, but love is blind—how many faults has be not caused even the greatest men to commit. I dare flatter myself this is a strong reason why her Royal High ness should condescend to grant me the two favours which 1 take the liberty of asking of her. " I allow myself to recommend to the favour and protection of her Royal Highness my sister Marie*, and also her who is in Switzerland. Iler Royal Highness gave me to understand th:.t, perhaps, she might be allowed to supply ',instate. The hope of this alleviated my distress. It would be an act of charity, for sisters have only moderate fortunes, and in our small poor coun ty) they ace not to be ac)ired. I am certain her Royal Highness would have no cause to repent her great goodness and extreme kindness towards a young girl who has always gained the esteem and friendship of all so whom she has been personally known. " I cannot suaciendy thank her Royal Highness and the Baron for their kindness in sending Ferdinand to accompany me; he has paid me all the attention, and taken all the care of me Imaginable ; I know not bow to acknowledge so many benefits; but I will endeavour by my future conduct to merit them, and to regain the favourable opinion which ber Royal Highness en tertained for me during the days of my good fortune. " It is with sentiments of the most entire submission, and the most perfect devotion, that I have the honour to be, Her Royal Higlutess's most obedient servant, LOUISA DR MONT.

The latest accounts from Sicily (July SW give a very afilicting picture of the situation of the rsland, which was a prey to all the horrors of anarchy and civil war. The Provisional Government established at Palermo, after the expulsion of the King's Go vernor, was a mere shadow, and all the power was in the hands of the mob. But still more dreadful is the disorder which prevails in the interior of the Island. An authentic private communication from Palermo, of the SOth of July, has the following ex pression The interior of Sicily is not a theatre of war, but of devastation and death ; every one plunders and burns the estate of his neighbour with arms in - his hands ; the fury of the populace is un bridled." A report is in circulation that several Sicilian cities, after the example of Palermo, likewise demand the independence of the Island. So much is certain, that the Prince of Valgnarnera has arrived here from Catania with full powers, signed by above 7000 per sons, all demanding independence. The Cities of Syracuse and Calstanisette entertain the same wish. Here (in Palermo) the richest persons are daily laid under contribution by the mob, and must ransom their lives by the payment of large sums. The latest accounts from Naples (7th instant) are not much better. The confidence in the apparent tranquillity which prevails there diminishes daily. Many of the principal people have sent away their wives and fa milies. The whole people is armed, all kinds of wea pons arc bought up, and the armourers cannot sup ply the demand. At the same time the whole city is divided into parties ; even the Carbonari are very disunited among themselves, and divide themselves into Constitutionalists and Republicans. The lodge of the Revolutionary Star (one of the most furious) has seceded from the rest, and holds its Meetings in the Field of Mars, where, with one Chiericone for its President, it lately deliberated on the necessity of removing the present Ministers. The club was, how ever, dispersed by the Government. In the streets and squares armed groupes assemble to judge the measures cS our new Government, which has evi dently not strength enough to stem the tide of events. The late Minister of the Finances, Medico, had ob tained passports for Barcelona, whither he intended to set out on the 4th instant, but a troop of Carbo nari has hitherto opposed his departure, and keep a strict watch over him. • NAPLES, JULY 4. The innocence of General Church becomes daily more evident; he has not only done his duty, but in an heroic manner, and disdaining all capitulation. Even if those who are to be his judges should be his enemies, they will not venture to decide contrary to the universal conviction of the public. General Church is permitted to receive the visits of his ac quaintance at the Castello del Ovo. LEIPSIC, AUGUST IS . It is now said that the Saxon Diet will not meet before the usual time, that is, on the 6th of January, 1821. The health of Prince Schwartzenburg does not amend in the degree that his friends desire. For merly he rode out frequently in a carriage, but this he has now ceased to do, chiefly according to the orders of his physician, who wishes again to accus tom him more to bodily exercise. He still resides in the Milk Island (a; it is called) where he is often seen sitting in the open air. Accounts from Syria of the 17th July say, that on the 13th, 250 houses were destroyed by fire in the quarter of the Turks. • Her MAJESTY will receive the Camberwell, Mary la-Bonne, and Kimpton (Hampshire) Addresses on Monday, at one o'clock, at Brandenburgh House. The Kimpton Address will be presented by the Mi nister of that town and a deputation of the inha bitants. Her MAJESTY will not come to town on Monday. Yesterday morning a courier from Milan arrived at Brandenburgh House. He was the bearer of dis patches to her MAJESTY. He also brought letters to Mr. Alderman WOOD, from his son. These letters are said to contain very important information. The QUEEN does not now enter the House of Peers'on her coming to Westminster, but continues in the apartment appropriated for her MAJESTY'S re tiring-room, until her return to St. James's-square. Thursday, at four o'clock, her MAJESTY WES pleased to receive the Address of the Gospel Church in the town of Portsea, under the Ministry of the Rev. ISAAC CARTER, which Address was presented by the said Minister and three of the members of the said Church, when her MAJESTY was pleased to re turn the following most gracious Answer : " I accept, with unfeigned complacency, this valuable tribute of regard from a pious congregation of Christians, called the Gospel Church, in the town of Portaea. " The judgments of GOD are inscrutable, but mercy and goodness, which to our gross perceptions are sometimes invisi ble in their commencement, always palpably characterise their ultimate results. From the dark ways of Paovtoenor often issues a light, which convinces the understanding that the At.. KIWITI is not an indifferent spectator of human affairs, but that he notes the most minute deviations from individual rectitude, and that he weighs nations in the balance of righteousness. " The proceedings of my persecutors are in direct opposition to that soft spirit which Christianity so affectionately breathes, and to those gentle virtues which it so earnestly recommends. I have assiduously laboured to Inhale that spirit, and to culti vate those virtues, in which I am convinced that I shall have an accession to my happiness in the prosperous, and a diminu tion of my misery in the adverse hour. They will, indeed, be my support in all changes, and my comfort in all circumstances ; nor shall I cease to find them pleasurable when all other plea sure fades from the view, or palls upon the sense." FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS. At Fenton 'a Hotel, St. James's-street—Colonel Colquit, of the Foot Guards, from Southampton.

AMERICAN PAPERS. New York Papers arrived yesterday, to the 11th ult. They contradict the rumour of a dreadful con flict having taken place among the Choctaw Indians. A. vessel from the Spanish Main brought intelligence that a cessation of arms had been agreed upon be tween BOLIVAR and MORILLO. Admiral Silcox had detained several American vessels, which had createl a great sensation in the United States. A Paper of the Bth ultimo contains the following particulars : " The United States schooner Lynx, Lieutenant- Commandant J. It. Madison, from a cruize in the • Gulf Mexico, and last from New Orleans, which she left July the 17th, came up yesterday, and an chored in the North River. 44 The commerce of the Gulf has been nearly un interrupted for some time past, as John Lafitte has abandoned and destroyed Galveston. He sailed from thence on the 7th of May, with an armed brig and two schooners ; his avowed intention was to join Aury at Old Providence. The Lynx recaptured at Galveston, on the 25th of last June, a Spanish felucca, with a valuable cargo : she was a prize to the Minerva, one of Lafitte's schooners. Five of the Minerva's crew, found on board of her, have been committed for trial, for piracy, in New Orleans. The schooner Esperanza, or Little Bay, captured by the Lynx, off Campeachy, on the 23d of May last, has been condemned in the Louisiana District Court, for illegally fitting out and arming; the Officers and crew, 22 in number, were sentenced ►to twelve months imprisonment, and 20 dollars fine each. The cruizers of Aury rarely enter the Gulf, but generally cruize on the south side of Cuba ; the merchantmen are frequently boarded by them on their passage. An English vessel was plun dered off Cape Corientes about the 15th.of There were but six or eight men at Galveston when the Lynx was there, who employed themselves in hunting, &c. The Lynx met General Long in a small sloop off the Sabine, on the Ist of July, bound to Galveston ; he was accompanied by 26 Officers and men ; as they were unarmed, she was allowed to proceed. New Orleans is said to be healthy. The Lynx has 120,000-dollars in specie on board. 41 The United States schooner Tartar, Lieutenant Paine, arrived at Savannah on the 24th of July, after an unsuccessful chace of the piratical brig Wilson and her prize, which vessels outsailed the Tartar. 44 On returning to Savannah, Lieutenant Paine discovered baggage and a number of people on Cockspur Island. An Officer was dispatched, who arrested the whole of them, fifteen in number. Lieu tenant Paine also stopped a boat in the river with five men in her, who, not giving a satisfactory ac count of themselves, were also arrested. They were all taken to Savannah, examined, and committed to prison. The above persons were recruits for the brig Wilson." The British frigate TARTAR, Sir GEORGE COLLIER ) anchored off Charleston on the Ist ult. from the coast of Africa, and four days from Havannah. She landed 50,000 dollars there, and was to sail next day for England. ST. THOMAS'S, JULY 21. • Yesterday a vessel arrived here from Angostura, in the Orinoque, which brings letters, stating, that an action had been fought in the province of Barcelona, in which the Patriot General Menagas, with his Cavalry, attacked and annihilated a division of the Royalists, under the command of one Lozano, who was killed, as well as the second in command ; a mat number were slain and taken prisoners. JULY 22.—The news from Laguira k, that the Royalists have evacuated St. Carlos, and fell back on Pallineira, the head-quarters of Morino. General Bolivar was at Calaboza. The Royalist General was displeased at the Commandant of St. Carlos, for re tiring from that place : it was expected he would order him to be shot. The people of Caraccas were anxious to see General BoLtVAR, and they write con fidently that his arrival there may be hourly expected. The intelligence from Naples, received yesterday, reaches to the 11th ultimo, by which we learn, that the treatment experienced at Vienna by the Prince CARIATI, who had been sent as Ambassador Extra ordinary by the Court of Naples, to announce the late Revolution, seems to have made a strong im pression at Naples. Immediately on the return of the PRINCE, the Duke de GALLO received orders to proceed to Vienna, where he is to replace Prince RUFF% as Ambassador to that Court.—The PRINCE VICAR-GENERAL addressed the following letter, on the Ist of August, to the Minister at War: " The Royal Macedonian Battalion, being composed of fo reign soldiers, cannot be kept up, according to the constitutional system, and accordigg to the principle which I have adopted, of being surrounded only by my national troops." The 30th of August being the time limited for taking the oath of allegiance, under the new order of things, by all Public Functionaries, all those who had not previously subscribed, and transmitted their oath to the Government, were to be suspended from their functions.—A dreadful fire, which broke oat on the morning of the 22d of July, and which was not extinguished on the 10th of August, had ra vaged the immense forests which crown the Appe nines, in the vicinity of Fondi, the commune of which was on the 10th ult. entirely surrounded with flames. The fire had even spread beyond that territory, and, above all, into that of St. Andre, along the Consu lar- road, over the territory of Serraglione and of Selva. The Sub-Intendant of Fondi had put in re quisition the whole population, to put a stop to this terrible plague. At the date of the last accounts it had not been ascertained whether the fire was ;he effect of chance or malevolence ; nor whether it com menced in the Roman States, or in those of Naples; Fondi being on the boundary between them. The intelligence from Madrid is to the 18th ult. A Committee of the Cortes had made a Report hos tile to the existence of the Jesuits iu Spain. The pro position for introducing Juries in judicial proceedings was read a second time. The Commission of Finance had made a Report, recommending a law, prohibit ing Grand Ecclesiasticqil Dignitaries, Counsellors of State, and others, from holding two livings or offices. In Majorca, in five days preceding the 3d ult. 21 per sons had died of the pestilential fever, making the total number of deaths 1891. The vessel sent to Mexico, with the news of the late revolution, reached Vera Cruz on the 28th of May, and the dispatches were instantly forwarded to the Viceroy. All was tranquil in Mexico.
