ItITt , V 1 We find by tha -French Papers, that Bourdeauk has been delivered from the tyranny of Clansel and his troops, tvho are said to have proceeded towards the Loire. The French funds have risen considerably. On Saturday they mere 531 ; on Monday they rose to 584. The previous fill is attributed to the large sales of Stock. made by poisons about to quit France. Bonaparte sailed from Torbay in the Bellerophon early on 11edne•day morning. and proceeded to Plymouth, where he al rived int the same day. The Couric.- says, that orde►s were sent down to disco►►tinue treating him with that distinction ith which he had been treated, and to cot►sider him si.nply a , a General. The Allies are levying contributions in most of the provinces and principal towns in France. The war with •Fiance is now considered substantially at an end. On the seas at least it has been officially terminated ; orders have been issued to make no farther reprisals on French ships. A proclamation has been issued by the King of the Nether• s an d:, on occasion of the formal union of the Low Countries under his Sovereignty. It promises every thing that can render the people independent and happy. Deputies arc to he assembled immediately from every department, in the proportion of one to every 2000 inhabitants. The Journal de Nuremberg says, that (lisn‘ eral Rapp has retired with his carps under the walls of Strasbourg, but the io!labitants refused to allow him to enter the city. GALLANT ENT ERPRIZE.—His Majesty's ship's, Rhin. Menelaus, Havannah, and Ferret, have had an affair with some French batteries near Brest, who opposed their capturing some vessels in a small harbour that' had the tri co:oured flag flying. The batteries were attacked by the boats of the above squadron, and, after much resistance, the fine that protected the French shipping was carried, and our gallant tars brought of a sloop off oar, a cutter, two schooners, and three chasse-marees. We are stated to have had several men killed and wounded in this affair. Orders were received at Portsmouth on Wednesday morn ing, not to press any more seamen.for his Majesty's navy, nor to enter any as volunteers for the same service. BRITISH AND FOREION SAILORS.—it is much to be regretted, that *t the present moment, several hundreds of 131itish seamen are unemployed, while it appears that a vast number of ships in the docks and river are crowded with foreigners. -= Friday, a luldy of nearly 200 persons marched from the docks to the Mansion 'Rouse, where they halted, and sent in a deputation to the Lord Mayor, who was then sitting. The deputation in behalf of the British seamen stated, that in consequence of the multitude of that body at• present unemployed, arid the vast majority of foreigners that manned the ships now in the river, they had petitioned the 1 Admiralty but had not yet received the redress they looked for : they were induced to wait upon his Lordship, entreating Vs interference in their behalf. The Lord Mayor said, how ever he might feel for their situation, it was nevertheless beyond the pale of his authority or influence to meet their wishes.—lif applying to the Admiralty they bad adopted the proper Course, and he %Told rfkommend them to wait pati• ently the result. He would also more particularly enjoin them to peace and good ordertiowhateter course they-might adopt fur a redress of their complaiutsi s t it i- 'll • • In consequence of the pleasure of an illustrious Personage to be Col. in Chief of the Life Guards, this corps will if course undergo alterations. They are to be made Cuirassiers of the guard. Officers and tnen are to he immediately fur. nished with new splendid equipments, and to wear Cuirasses; the word " Waterloo" to be superbly embroidered on the various appointments. _ _ _ BONAPARTE'S PORTfOLIO.-A pamphlet has recently appeared in Holland, entitled, •" Buonaparte's Portfolio, taken at Charleroi, June /0, 1815, part I. It is prefaced by th• fallowing statement:--" Mr. Van Uchelen, one of oar officers. who was made prisoner on the t 7111 of June, and taken to Charleroi, was there forgotten by the French on their defeat at Belle Alliance. He profited of the opportunity, declared himself commandant of the town, and with the assistance of some armed people whom he collected, he stopped the plundering of the powder and other wpggons, and placed is security twelve pieces of cannon, and many other valuable articles. Ile brought a large portfolio to BrusselF, and it waa found to be the portfolio of Baron rain, First Cabinet Secretary to Bonaparte." All the documents therein con tained, are of very recent date ; and they throw considerable light on the internal situation of France, although there is little in them amusing. Bonaparte's travelling library was found in six tmanks, and amounted to 800 volumes—among them were, Homer. Ossian, Gil Blas, Don Quixotte,'and Voltaire's Charles Xll. all beautiful editions. The Galarie drs Antique's au .11uste of Paris contains, as marked in the Cataloguc of last year. Sl 2 pieces of sculpture; of these, 11 belonged to ;he Museum in the Capital at Rome. 49 were taken from the Vatican, 4S from the Villa Albania f.a.; from the Villa llorghese, 55 modestly stated as the fruits of the conquest of Germany, three the private property of Pius VI., five from the Public Library of Venice, three from the Duke of Modena, and several others from the cities of Florence, Mantua, and Verona. There is a pleasant story told of Prince Blucher. It is, that he visits the Louvre with a catalogue in his hand, in which the galleries from whence the pictures are taken are seated " From . the Dusseldorf Gallery !"—" 0 yes— I recollect it—take it down ;" and the veteran has the picture or pictures taken down at once. it seldom happens that when a man and his spurs set out together, the latter arrive before himself. But Bonaparte's spu rs arrived in London last week, and were presented to the 1 ince Regent on Tuesday last, by Lord Erskine, to whose care they were consigned by the Duke of Wellington. The spurs were found 'in the carricge captuted after the late battle. An English Chapel has been opened in Paris, supported by •oluntary contributions. Divine service is performed. and the•rites of our Protestant Church are administered in it by tw•o English Divines.
