The liberty of the subject in FranCr is now founded upon the solid basis of the liberty of the Preis—but the French Legislators have gone a step farther, and by granting the liberty of *conscience to the French gyration at large, they have added another massive column to the political fabric, which it has been their peculiar happiness to raise from among the ruins of the most terrible despotism which the world ever siw. In the language of a dy i ng patriot and a venerable benefactor of mankind, let every one exclaim, Erto perfides ! But let us nAt be led'away by our exultation at the glorious eta Which Is now bursting upon us from the greater duties which virtuous subjects owe such So- Vereigns as those who now happily preside over the destinies of Europe.- The history of the events of the last twenty-five years will furnish aText-book for ruture Princes in the art of governing- r a manual for ibe religiogs of all peranasions-r-and lay the bases of * sound' political creed in every virtuous mind *pinatas of Soitereigna - to the welfare and -happiness of their subjects has been severely chasten file of bigotry has been' humbled, and the Chalice of misery has been presented to the lips of Winos( every individual in Europe, drugged perhaps by their own crimes and vices!--May the records of these sanguinafy times avert their recurrence from Future generations—may posterity hail them as the " `ntagutri gui not itutruota rine virgit et ferulu, rine 'cholera, Ale I:crania !" Analogies from the restoration of King CHARLES and the Revolution in favoUr of King WILLIAM in our Own History, are attempted to be drawn front the events now passing in France. In the minor outlines the rapidity with which the change has been effected, and absence of every thing like popular commotion, ihe s resensblance is correct, but in the grand and pro- Minent features of the picture, there s is no analogy whateVeil. The Legislative Assembly of England at the Restoration, was composed ("two discordant factions—fanatics and Royalists—the first the ene. mks of all Governments and of good order in gene ' lal, and ate second the determined enemies of civil: and religious liberty. CHARLes was restored by General MONK, backed by all the wise and enlightened men of the country, who, had been onsted froM Parliament by both factions:' The Revolution in 16Sti was effected by the survivors and descendants of the same pan iotic phalanx, in 'lke manner fierived of power. Nor does the abdication of Jaime's rut Szconn bear any atialogy to that of BosrAP:tam—the for , roer was a legitimate hereditary Sovereign—was not without great virtues, and had powerful friends, who were attached to him from honourable motives . , and who followed him into retirement and adversity.— Tne latter was a mere military adventurer, was an .r.urper, and has been ltra-kd from his thttne amid tl.ecritticits of mankind, " Wilt not so Gas: as do him reverence." liis fall is like that of LtaavEn's, as described by 'e Poet, "I:As::r 19 rice again !" The analogy between the history of France and. England may not be complete in ail its pasts; but the resemblance between t:Ae two Constitutions is stliking b:yond exception. -Let Frenchmen now te cull:l4 that they have received from England (and let them prize the munificent present) " that impor tant se.net," (to use the words of the virtuous Da Louse,.) " that sacred fife so difficult to be kindled, ► and which, if it were once extinguished, would per haps never be lighted again. • 'Wheti the world, -shall have been again laid waste by conquerors, Britain will still continue to she wmankind. not only the principle chit ought to unite them, but *hat is of no PP" - . !teis impalas" the Feria -seder which they ought to; be . mined. and the philosopher when '!et considers' U Hthetoostant fete of amongst men, and visoarkk coal which 'Es I! as it•were unavoidably ro cenditet them all to itste'of,incoralik cal davery, rakes comfort in: seeing. that Liberty has aelength di4loned her secret, to mankind,. and severed as asylam to herself." • Deputations from Frame now isowd upon Lours daily.—Anotlier arrived this morning from, Boulogne, as appears from the subjoined letter: • " //OVER, APRIL 13. 44 His Majesty's sloop rialsms arrived here last l night from Boulogne, aid landed the Governor and a Magistrate of thatltown; who Went away for Lon. don.—A hoat came in tliis day from Calais, with six English-prisoners and some French gentlemen.

His Majesty continued yesterday at Hartwell, bin preparations have certainly been made for his recep tii,n at the Prince of Cannes, at Wimbledon, where he will await the arrival of the Deputies from the Provisional Government of France. He was on Mon- day waited on by the principal inhabitants of Ayles bury in a body, who presented him an address of con grat ol4tion, voted at a public meeting, on the law turn of affairs in his favour, and wishes for his safe ar rival in his Kingdom. His Majesty was rn the same day visited by the Earl and Countesi of Blume- WATER, Lnrd and Lady NUGENT ! and others of the Nobility and Gentry in the neighbourhood. The Duke of Gtoucarrat arrived about five o'clock' to dine with him. They dined at six o'clock in public, which is the regular custom, and Au always been that of the Kiln? of FRANCE. No distinction was observed with respect to the *sons admitted. Hartwell eillibited an assemblage Of thousands of well dressed people, weating the . white cockade, walking in the par.' Minis-.Prs have received certain intelligence of the arrival of Mumma at Paris. -The public expression of joy on his ROYAL limissrEss's appearance WAS cha racterised by every mask of popular zeal and devotion. Lord CASTLAREAGH reached Paris on the 10th. His Majesty Louis` XVIII. %Alit in town, tit* up his residence at (.I!illon's,.in Albemarle-street. The whole of the Pius V ReceN-r's domestics have been furnished with whidOtock.ides, and ordered to wear them. • The Deputiei.frint Dunkirk let town yesterday, on their return thither.

They take the answer of Louis, XVIII. to the address from the inhabitants of Dunkirk. SOLEtIN THANKSOIFINGem-Never did there occur an occasion of public" thanksgiving in this metropolis for any great event, in which the fervor and devotion Of the popular mind was mere ardently and grate fully directed to the Coo of Hosts, than on Tuesday, at the French Catholic Chaptl, in Clarendon-square, Somers Town, for the restoration of Louis XVIII. High Mass was performed by the Rev.Mr.CIIARRON and other French Priests. The decorations of the altar,. the number of lights, the burning of incense, and the solemn tones of the organ, accompanied by the tinging, had a very impressive effect. • After High Mass, Ts Deem was snug by the choir belong. ing to the Portuguese Ambassador's Chapel in South Audley-street, accompanied by many Of our first-rate professional singers. 'rise Chapel was literally crowded ; all the French and foreign Nobility in town were present, and also a great number of the English Nobility, all of whom wore the white cockade. The French and English nags were displayed in front of the Rev. Mr. CnaunoN's school, and after Divine Service, the boys of the school, from some small guns they had mounted in the yard, fired several sounds; in honour of the happy occasion. _ ELDCTION OF EAST-INDIA DINECTORS...-This morn. ing, at eight o'clock, the Scrutineers delivered in their' Report to JouN JACKSON, Esq. who was in the Chair, when the-numbers were declared to be as follow, viz. stobvrt Clerk, Eq. 1441 Samuel Davis, Esq. 133 ti David Scutt.

CUSTOM-HOUSE, KIRKWALL, APRIL. s. We have this morning received a letter from one of our Officers. at Lang Hope, giving notice, that the Scourge, American privateer, had boarded a Swedish vessel on Tridayafternoon, (the Ist inst.) about 20 mires to the westwald of Hoy, which *easel arrived at Long Hope this morning ; and that ,the Scourge had captured three brigs from Liverpool, with salt and tobacco, sinking one and burning two of them. The prisoners were put on board the-Swede, who, betore the privateer was out of sight, saw her in chace et other vessels. The officer informs, that his Ma jesty's ships SToliK and NIOUTINGIALE, which were at Long H'pe, immediately sailed quest of the pri. vateer, and hopes are entertained of their falling in with her. iTROMNESS, APRIL I. The Scourge, American privateer. from Dron theirs, has captured the Symmetry of, Hull, and the Union•of Liverpool, the former loaded with salt, for Palau, and the latter with sugar and coffee, for Rot terdam; also, another ship belonging to Liverpool ; burnt the two first and sunk the last, and was left in chase of four others. The Earl Falconberg, of Hull, was in sight, but the Captain of the Scourge told the captured shipmasters, that be did not like to go along side of him. The Middleton of Aberdeen arrived on the 2d instant here. • REDUCTION OF TILE DOCK-YARDS.--The Artificers of the several Dock-yards are not to be reducedin number in the event of Peace, as was the case during the administration of Earl Sr.VlNcsurr. The Board of Revision have most wisely ordered that she Duel yards shall reduce themselves. This will effectually prevent disgust, and the emigration of valuable work men. It is expected that the diminution of numbers by deaths, superannuation, discharges for idleness and bad behaviour, ac. will soon bring the Yards to the Peace establishment. EXTRACT CF A LETTER FROM LIMERICK, DATED APRIL 5: 66 On Wednesday W. TAYLOR. of Thomas.street, Esq. received a letter from his brother, Captain H. TAYLOR. late commanding his Majesty's ship OLYM PIA. dated Blois, Feb. 1(3, which states, that, in con sequence of the movements of the Allies, he and his fellow prisoners fibm Verdun, in number 1200, have been most dreadfully harassed, obliged to march 1300 miles, many of them without shoes or cloathing, half starved, and several dying on the roads—a route was that day receive, ordering them to continue their march 180 miles farther (to Guerret), and Gou only knew where their final destination was to be fixed. The misery of the English prisoners was not to be depicted : exposed to fraud, and without any redress, 1 they are obliged to submit to every privation ; and there ate so many deductions on the prisoners, that an English guinea nets only to them the value of six shillings. The release of the French prisoners in this country has already commenced. They are still extremely incredulous on the subject of the events which have led to their liberty. We hear that when the news of the overthrow of BONAPA RTE was communicated to the French prisoners at Portsmouth, there broke out a most violent fracas. They divided intb two parties, the believers and unbe lievers; and it was not 'anti the natives of 13otirdeaux, and the other towns whichtad declared for the BOUR. BONS, were singled out to be sent over in freedom, that the story obtained belief. ry •' r . litwatimum . r. (*most,. mums°, Isl 4. , . , wirimizmi, Aim iIL 5WV4,0 44 k 4 4 of lOop,.itsek.h. ft. I'.

A AMC HIM LAWYOL, movaaca, and toasts The valid protrechm of her ancient law I" • One of the pleasantest things of the day is, the strenuous endeavour of some of the Rsoolvticeins to seem happy at the late events. There was a rep )rt yesterday, that Sommers hal turned out a thief as Well as a poltroos; kw that, anti cipating his tali, he had canted off will, him the crown j wels, as wcll as a large sum of wild. This had been discovered; and that the escort which was app oipted to protect him on his jotimey to Elba coked scarcely secure him from the vcii;:eance of thepeople. The jewels and treasure, howectr, it was said, had been T.Tovered. The island of Elba, the titre asigned for_ 3' wt. parse's future residence,. is ihe Botany B y of Tus cany, being the place to which minor felon,' wait transported from that Grand Duchy. The island to which BONAPA,RTE is to be banished produces iron and marble. What a coincidence I The former* embkoastticaj of his long terariacal sway over the nations of the Continent, and the latter of the coldness and h irdness of his heart.

BONAPARTE was very composed, mai even cheerful in his conversation. He said to the B iron, " 1 have done what I pleased with the Allies, and now I suppose they will do what they please with me." The Baron complimented him can his for titude under such a reverse of fortune ;--in an s wer to which, he said it was wise to submit patiently to the course of events—adding, that he had committed one great error. The Baron desired to know what it was. " Why," said he, 44 I married an Austrian Princess when I ought to have married a Russian . one." The Baron then asked him how his active mind would find employment after so busy a life ! He said, that he should retire to the study of the Ma thematics, of which he had always been fond ; and, pointing to some old books which he had taken with hien, intimated that he had resumed his studies already. What a contemptible calculator is Mr. J.MAL/SOl4 He thought the time was come, when the British Lion was so wounded, that even he might have a kick at him. He thought lull surely (for so lie had been loudly told by English Patriot:), that the- time was come when he must tctally rt.in Great Britain. if he added his commercial proscription to that of NA. roLEON. He thought also, that he had hit the exact moment when he might accompany NAPOLEON in his triumphs, without sharing the risk of his contests.—. What well America say to such a calculator as be has proved to be?

The Duchess made many particular en. quirks respecting the conduct and management of tt'e inhabitants. From this excellent establishment she proceeded to the Philanthropic Society, under the pa tronage of the Duke of YORK, and was shewn the different branches of manufactures that are carried on there, with which she appeared highly pleased.— From this place she' finished her morns 's tour, by visiting the Asylum for Orphan Girh, (eatro'niz e d by the Queen) near Westminster Bridge, where the numerous assemblage of young females. arrayed in their usual neat and clean apparel, were in waiting to receive her Imperial Hieness, and every thing rela. tive to bringing them ii; and apprenticing them out was explained to her ; icier which she took bee de parture for Pulteney Hotel, where she arrived about tour o'clock, when she received visits from several distinguished characters. is the craning she went to dine with the Russtme AMUISADOm, ut his house, in Harley-street. v..i .
