When arrived at the tomb, the liev. J. Leese, M. A. (Curate to Mr. -Foster) ieaa the concluding service, during which the corpse was let down.into the graVe, ' and then deposited in thc vault. This vault is new, made of brick, directly underneath the stone Monament elected. to the memory of Mrs. nizabeth Robertson, at the north west corner of kenwell church; the vault itself being t 4 early twenty feet from the surface of the ground, and the eqrpse inter: et! with its la•:e towards the eaat.• The writer of this sketch, when all was done, looked to, and could not but advt the words of Mr. Cecil, on another occasion, silently eji)eulating—• flow well !' Death was here deprived of its sting. and the grave f.t its victot v. Though it rained fast during the time of this-solemn es remony, and sometimes poured down, the people flocked to the scene, and, for two hours, braved the worst. Nothing hot umbrellas were visible, the avenues to the spot being lined with spectators, while the church-yard was-absolutely thronged to excess. Such is the memorial of the minister of truth, who is respected by the chute!), and beloved by his Hock. Numbtred as he is with the dead, let the enemies of the Lte Rector of Clerkenwell, if such characters there be, re flect on the past, consider the present, and combine both with that eventful futurity into which he has now entered, and to which they themselves are hastening.

It is asserted in some of the papers that the cession of this Island to Sweden is confirmed, but a counter statement has been put forth, according to which France is to hare it- again, and Sweden is to be indemnified in some other quarter. Antwerp is to cease to be a naval arsenal. Two-thivds of the fleet in its port are to belong to France, the remain ing third are to be given to Holland. The ships taken at Venice, Genoa, &c. are to remain the possession of- thuse Powers by whose forces they were captured. The fisheries en the coasts of Newfoundland- and the adjacent Island!, and in the Gulph of St. Laurence, are to be placed on the same footing as they were before the weer, and Franca is to have the liberty of establishing factories at Pondi cherry and Chandernagate, in the East Indies, but must not erect any fortifications. The cont:mts of the Treaty may briefly be summed np as follow3:—To indemnify us for the burthens of the war e we only retain, of all our colonial composts from France, St. Lucie, Tobago, and the Mauritius. Malta, which vo luntarily placed itself under the protection of the British Crown; Trinidad, which we conquered from Spain ; and. Cev!on and the Cape of Good Hope, which we took from the Dutch, will be definitively annexed to the British do. minions ; while France, who has nothing to cede, re ceives from the bounty of the Allies, Martinique, Desca. ria, Mariegalante, Guiana, Cayenne, Senegal, Goren, Pon. dicherry, Chandernagore, and the Isle of Bourbon ; and, according to some accounts, Guadaloupe.—On the coati nent of Europe, Avignon, Chambery, and a small portion of t.Tritory - on the sides of the Netherlands are to be added to France as she stood in 1789, while in India her factories arc to be restored. From this sketch it will he seen, that the present peace, ~foi;ous as it is for England, isgreatly beneficial to France. Some repining spirits already complain we have given up too much ; but be it remembered, it is true policy to bl g..nerous. Greatly to cripple the power and dominion of Fiance, would be but to supply her with the motives for undertaking a new war, at a period not very remote. The s tcritices which renewed hostilities would call for, would greatly exceed the value of any thing we have given up, that it could be thought desirable to retain. By resign ing that which 'we have restored, we give ourselves a claim on her gratitude; and if it be urged that national gratitude is a thing on which no dependence can be placed, as it too often falls before the cupidity of ambitious poi . ., ticians.—still, in making the nation content, we make tho peop!e decidedly against war; and thus, if dragged into hostilities by their Rulers, they cannot be supported by the same energy as might be expected under other circum. stances. On this subject at present we need say no more. That which we have thought it our duty to offer, we hope will satisfy our Readers, that if, in the first instance, the sacrifices made are greater than ought to be made to pro pitiate France, we have to hope that they will hereafter cause a saving of our blond and treasure, by prolonging the duration of peace, or pave the way for new triumphs, when again unavoidably plunged in war.
