In the absence of French Papers, we refer our iders to a most interesting letter in our front page, f ro m a Gentleman who left France within these f ew days. It affords a striking and Correct picture of the present state of that country. Lord WELLINGTON'S dispatches in list night's Gaz:tte, are also admirably calculated to remove any impressions of alarm, which some good but weak men may entertain on the sub ject of the stability of the NAPOLEON dynasty. Accounts have been received in town, which state that Lord CASTLEREAGH reached Basle on the 17th inst:nt• CAULAINCOURT *ls to receive his passports i n the 19th (according to BONAPARTE'S account) ; ',lnd if this statement be correct—that is to say, if t!". Allies have given passports to CAHLAThiCOURT it is probable that the wordy Gentleman just named :ray have, by this tithe, come in contact with the Foreign Minister of the most enlightened, and Most v:tuous nation in the civilized world. We shall suppose, for an instant, that the Allies have eith..!r forgotten or forgiven the venial errors— the Rates, whlch are personal to the character of this CAULAINCOURT) and which unfit him for the society even of the humble finisher of the law in this happy mi ni. We shall suppose also, that Lord CASTLE. yrActr has been unwillingly compelled by the Allied t,overeigns, to enter into a colloquy with this lowest of all lacqueys—the master of the 'horse to BONA-. pAaTE.—" Poverty, aye, and policy too, makes us ac- Slanted with strange bed-fellows." But laying aside ail these personal objections to Monsieur CAULAIN. torn himself, we think that this is precisely the sea son for reminding his master, that in the year 1804, by a sweeping decree of the Grand Judge lttoNten, the whole corps diplotnatique of England were put hors de la lei ; and Sir Geonce RUMBOLD was shortly af terwards kidnapped at Hamburgh, to prove that this was not a bratum fulmen.--That seizure took place in fact to prove, according to one of BONAPARTE'S re cent declamations, that he could act as well as tam. We do certainly think that it would be greatly to the dignity of England, and much to the honour and spirit of Lord CAsTutawismt, if, mutatis motandis, his Lordship would pauscribc some of the elegantex pressions of the Decrees of Messieurs REONJER and BONAPARTB in 1804, and apply them to CAULAIN COURT. His Lprdship might well protest against sitting in company with such a Scoundrel—He might say, for instance, 64 Wretches like him (CAvr,AlN tounr) cannot be punished by disgrace, Disgrace can only mortify men who know the price of virtue, and feel the value of honour." lint let us proceed. Let us give a little more of oir advice—let the Members cf the Congress at Bask, and above all the British Negociators, recol lect, that on the 18th of April, 1804, REGNJER and BONAPARTE thus expelled the Brititish Ambassadors dy name from every Court in Europe. It is delightful to be thus able to give BONAPARTE a touch of ad " I demand, in the most earnest manner, and every duty I owe you, Citizen Pint Consul, Impels me to make the request, that the Cabinet may take such effectual measures, that the Wicx taus, the Maces, and the SPINCEI SMITHS, may not be re . . . reived by any Power in friendship with Frsnise, whatever may be their title or character ; men who preach up assassination, vtd foment domestic troubles; the agents of corruption, the riksionaries of revolt against all established Governments, and the enemies of all States, and of all Governments. The kw of nczons doe; not aftly to then." The following are some of the stipulations contained a the mock Treaty, concluded between the moth Em. peror of France and FERDIXAND, Bing of Spain every line of it breathes animosity to Great Britain It is dated Valency, December 11, 1815, and is con:- Prised in fifteen articles. The places occupied by the French are to be restored in their present state.—FErt bmuti engages to maintain the integrity of Spain in giber possessions, particularly in those of Port Mahon and Ceuta. A Military Convention is to be con cluded, whereby the British and .French troops are to evacuate the Peninsula at the same time. (To be sure they entered at the same time, and under very s'smlar circumstances I)—BONAPA aTE and FERDI "Om agree to maintain the maritime rights of Eu "pe, such as (they are said to have been) settled by the treaty of Utrecht, and- to have existed in 1792. All the Spaniards (that is, Spanish traitors) attached to JOSEPH, are to be restored to their country : which they have so well and faithfully served.—The gar rison of Pampeluna, together with the prisoners at Cadiz) Corunna; gte.' Placed in the hands of the Eng lish, to be restored.— . FERDINAND, to pay his Father li d Mother 30 millions of rials annukfy, and, at the death of the Father, two millions OY franks ID be isontinued to the Mother.—A treatyOr i cornmerde be. tween France and Spain, similar to that which existed before 1792, to be concluded. ski (.virsia AMEAICA; There is abundance of intelligence from America in our columns of today, and there is not an article which it contains in the least calculated to excite any alarm for the present safety of Canada. We have also received the following written com munications from the same quarter—they are many days more recent in date than those above alluded to: " BOSTON, DECEMBER t 6. " We are expecting another embargo in the course of a few hours. We have been all in a bustle to get off the few neutrals in port, but a number will be caught, and must clear out in ballast. The Em bargo Bill is reported to be very severe, and is stated to be for twelve months." ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE. " The Embargo Bill has unquestionably passed, and is expected to reach here to-morrow. Such has been the exertions to get off neutrals, that vessels have been taking in both by day and by night. We understand the form of the Embargo Bill is now here ; the features of it are very severe : no neutrals that are loaded and cleared out will be permitted to de part after the Collector receives official notice of the Act. Consignees or Masters of neutral vessels must give bond to unload in ten days, or be liable to sei zure of both vessel and cargo—neutrals in ballast will have liberty to depart—coasters must give heavy bonds, and only depart with a special licence." Dispatches were received this morning at the Ad miralty, from Admiral Sir SAMUEL Hoon, Corn man der-in-Chief of his Majesty's squadron in the East Indies. Just as this Paper was putting to Press, a report reached us that Vrench Papers a day or two later than the last arrival are in Town, but that they con tain nothing interesting. We have not been able to ascertain the correctness of the rumour. Yesterday the Earl of LIVERPOOL, and a Swedish Officer, waited upon the PRINCE REGENFT at Carlton- House. His Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT gave au dience yesterday to the Cabinet Ministers as usual. The Duke of Yonx visited his Royal Brother at Carlton- House in the course of yesterday morning. His Royal Highness afterwards held his Military Levee at the Horse Guards, which was attended by the Earl of Mown- Emacom az, Lieutenant Generals TARLETON, and Sir CHARLES ASOILL ; Major Gene ral Posso:cav ; Brigadicr Generals CAMPBELL, and AstiwonTll Colonels 114./kitov, DOUGLAS, M'CREAGII, MELLISII, FEADE, FETHERSTON, &c.' On Saturday last passed through Chichester, on their march to join Lord WELLINGTON, a strong de tachment of the 51st Light Infantry Regiment, with two officer - 5, under the command of Lieutenant W. H. HARE. By the late volunteering from the Militia, the Foot Guards have got an increase of 1600 men, and of this number the West Kent furnished no less than 510 volunteers. Tuesday detachments of the 27th and 71st Regi ments marched from Glasgow for Leith to join Lord WELLINGTON'S army. On Tuesday died WILLIAM TUNSTALL, the infant bon of WILLIAM BoLLAND, Esq. of the Adeiphi Tcrrace. , . Tuesday se'nnight the anniversary of the Mirth of ItoaenT BURNS was celebrated with the usual rites of festivity, in the Tontine, Greenock, by a numerous and respectable company of Gentlemen. We are desired to state, that Messrs. LONGMAN and Co. have this day published the First Number of a Voyage round Care-t Britain, undertaken in the Sum mer of the Year 1813, and commencing from the Land's End, Cornwall, by RICHARD AYTON ; with a Series of Views, illustrative of the character and prominent Features of the Coast, drawn and engra ved by William Daniell, A. R.A. This voyage will be illustrated with coloured Prints, engraved by Mr. William Daniell, from his own Drawings, made ex pressly for the purpose. It will be published in Monthly Numbers, each Number to contain two Plates, coloured, with sixteen pages of Letter-press, price lOs. 6d.—Specimens of the Work may be seen at the Shops of the principal Booksellers and Prints sellers. The Russian seamen at Chatham, to the number of 400() men, are now under embarkation for Holland; and about 2000 of them are already on board, all clothed in new military uniform. The Thames, yesterday, between Blackfriars and ' London bridges, co:itinued to present the novel scene of persons moving on the ice in all directions, and ill gteatly increases numbers. The ice, however, from its roughness and inequalities, is totally unfit for amusement, though we observed several booths erected upon it for the sale of small wares: but the publicans and spirit dealers were most in the receipt of custom. The whole of the River opposite Oueen hithe was completely frozen over ; and in some parts the ice was several feet thick, while in others it was dangerous to venture upon ; notwithstanding which, crowds of foot p issengers crossed backwards and for- Wards throughotg the whole of the day. We did not hear of any lives being lost ; but many, who ven tured too far towards Blackfriars bridge, were par tially immersed in the water by the ice giving way. Two coopers were with difficulty saved. The navigation of the Thames, below bridge, is now partially open again. On Sunday the smacks, and other coasters, began their usual trips, and it is hoped will experience no further interruption. One of the Chelsea stages was yesterday overturned in Cheapside ; but fortunately all the passengers es ea ed es ca unhurt. • neighbourhood of Barnes, in Surrey, was yes mpassable. i , . . T i arnki se'nnight the number of travellers at the . ka on the road from Bet wick to Edinburgh, diggipoul by the severity of the weather, was not less m,opanty-seven. IV44VeIL INTELLIGENCE: Alt.

The Loan CHANCELLOR was expected to have been in Court to-day, but in consequence of the increased severity of the weather, his Lordship was advised, we understand, that it would be dangerous for him ro quit the house. The Vica•CurtlicEurott sat, but there was little bu siness done, and none of any interest. Neither Sir S. ROMILLY nor Mr. LEacti were in Court, both of these eminent Counsel, we regret to say, bring also confin ed by indisposition, the former front a c• , 1,1, the latter in consequence of a hurt, occasioned by a fall. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Frs. 1. The Court was occupied in hearing special argu ments during the whole day, none of which were of the slightest general interest. At the conclusion of the business a person addres sed their Lordships, complaining that he had already spent ig9oo in a suit commenced :against him as surety for a person named Bates, a Sheriff's officer, and that he had been ruined by the proceedings. He begged their Lordships to appoint him Counsel to conduct his cause, to receive a report upon the subject, and to order the re-payment to him of certain sums that had been improperly obtained. The Court could not listen to the subject, none of the facts being stated in affidavit on oath. CONSISTORY COURT, Doc - rows COMMONS. Fts 1. 1814. FOULKES v. FOULKES. This wAs originally a cause of Divorce. promoted and brought by Philippa Foulkes, the site, against John Foulkes, Esq. the husband, by reason of cruelty and adultery. The Court, at the hearing of the cause, pronounced for the remedy the wife prayed, and at the same time allotted her the biltli of #2150 a year alimony. It appeared since that period the incime of the husband had been considerably increa sed I. the death of Mrs. Foulkes' mother, he having thereby become possessed of landed and other prop.-rty, after all deductions, amounting to £lO6l a y.ar, the wife's income amounting (including the 1/16() alimony) to Avoo a year. The Court, under all the circumstances, allotted the further sum of IR II() a-year iaimony in he paid by the husband, as the rents of the estate become due. MEETING FOR THE RELIEF OF THE INHABITANTS OF DANTZIC.' • Yesterday, pursuant to Public Advertisement, a Meeting took. place at the City of London Tavern. Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of tak';ng into consideration the situation of the inhabitants of Dant zic and its vicinity, with a . view of affording them suitable relief. Soon after one o'clock, ISAAC SOWN. EA - . was called to the Chair, and proceeded :o st.tte the object of the Meeting. It had been suggt•sted, he said, by those who were connected with Dantzic either by mercantile ties, or the still nearer ones of relationship. Many calls, it was true, bad been made upon the generous bounty of this country to alleviate the mist , ries which the visitation of war had caused upon the Continent, but the claims of 1:1) intzic were forcible and peculiar ; it had been, after a severe siege, for nearly seven years in the possession of the French; it was, moreover, the only town on the Continent which had been exposed to the horrors and devastation of two sieges. The inhabitants were wholly unable to mitigate the privations and sufferings of themselves and the surrounding country, Ater the levies which they had been compelled to meet, and the contribu tions which were exacted from them. To consider the extent of these, it should be recollected, that Dantzic was a commercial city, and had lost its usual intercourse during the period of French dominion ; the richer inhabitants had already exhausted the relief which their means afforded iu aiditig the less fortunate part of the community, and t rrre them selves at present in need of comfort aod assistance.— There were several instances of landholders who bad relieved their tenants during the oppression of the french, but who were now not in a situation to meet their own contingencies. I.4edlords had often re lieved their tenancy, in the exeectation of possessing the future crop, the produce of the soil, but the mo. ment that appeared, it was seized upon by their spo liators. Men of great inheritance were even COM ptlled to dispose of their plate and other valuables, to meet the domestic wants of their &milk* . Furni ture had been removed for safity•to various war°. houses which were destroyed during the operations of the siege, and the proprietors llo's remained in po verty and misery. [Here the Chairman expetiot(l the local situation of Dantzic.] The city was di vided into three divisions : the centre was On an island, and principally a depot, composed of v,z, y.va,luable warehouses, all of which were destroyed. or rendered completely unserviceable from the casealties of war. One more fact, and he would conclude the detail of French spoliation. In an lintpit,il endtiwid and pp ported by voluntary subscription, and tOiiclieontamed More than 140 patients, some of whom were infant * children of one or two years r f ag,f, the wretched in mates were turned out into the stteets, Wrier, .several perished, to make room for the purposes of tl,--ir mer ciless invaders. UuJer these unexaggerated circum stances it was hoped that those who had means would not withhold relief. It was intended that no distri. bution should take place until Dantzic was completely relieved from French dominion Several Resolutions, expressive of the views of the Meeting, were then proposed by Mr. PA LLNSKI", Sc. conded by Mr. HALEY, and unanimously adopted. When putting the Resolutions {torn the Chair, Mr. SOLLY took occasion to observe, that the country houses, gardens, &e. in the vicinity of Dantzic were entirely destroyed. He also adverted to the comp.t. rative thinness of the Meeting, and attributed it to the short notice of the advertisement. The proceedings of the. day were or.le red to be in. sorted in the public papers, and the Mectii,g than adjourned. • Mr. RICHARD NIGHTINGALE, of Haggarth Hill, near Yarns, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, is in possession of an ewe which limbed two living lambs a fortnight ago. CORN-MARKET, MARK-LANE, FEB. It.

YARMOTITH, FEBRUARY 1. Arrived the CnANTICLEER, from Harwich. Sailed the HEARTY for that port, to refit. IND, JANUARY 31. Yesterday afternoon our coast was very much alarmed by five privateers, one in chace of a large coasting brig, apparently being heavy laden. She was lashed under the beach, near Dungeness, but by the manoeuvring of the master of the brig, brought the privateer close under the battery of No. 4, which enabled the soldiers to • fire many shots at them ; and it was supposed that one struck the privateer's stern, when she left the chace, and' stood to sea. A signal was made to two of his Ma- jesty's sloops - of war, the &users and SHELDRAKE, tthiCh immediately went in chace of them, but, we fear, to no effect, the privateers being five or six miles to windward. COVE OF CORK, JANUARY 96. Yesterday morning arrived his Majesty's ship ORONTES, Captain COCHRANE, last from Crookhaven, with transports, having on board the Derby Militia, which had embarked a considerable time ago at Ramsgate. This fine new frigate is to form a part of the squadron belonging to this station. His Majes_ ship PRESIDENT, Captain MASON, has convoy signal flying for St. Andero, and will take the several trans ports with cattle, bread, etc. as soon as ready, for the use of our brave troops under Lord WELLINGTON. CHATHAM, JANUARY so. The Powrivos is nearly dismantleai!'tid wit' lie TOW NANT Ott, mi t of commission in a few days; is getting an fast with her rigging and fitting. The' ice, which had accumulated to a very great degree in . the Medway; has from the two a three days thaw very much diminished. WEYMOUTH, JANUARY Si. -...- The Francis Freeling packet, commanded by Cap. rain Pirox, which sailed from hence on Friday last, with the mail and passengers for the Islands of, Guernsey and Jersey, w;v unfortunately driven back by contrary winds on Saturday morning. The Duke de BERRI, accompanied by a French General Officer and his Staff, attended with a large retinue, re-landed,, and were received by a large concourse of spectators, witti every testimony of respect. They proceeded to the'King's Head Hotel, where the Royal Party had resided during the week.--Yesterday morning they again embarked on board the Francis Freeling, at one o'clock, and sailed for the islands with a fine northerly wind, under convoy of the ZEPHYR sloop of war. They left the quay in the Commander's barge, carrying with them universal good wishes for a safe voyage to Jersey, and gond success to the glorious cause they were about to espouse, in defence of their King, and his just and legitimate We are happy to learn, that thtre is no foundation whatever for the report which lately appeared in the American Papers, of the death of the brave Captain BASCebAY, Vibe was so severely wounded in the naval action with Commodore PlatßY, on Lake Erie. i II t A
