JULY 3__ certainty no separation; but, as they insist conditionally u pon aiyangements that would preclude the meeting together of the lllu•trious Parties, it would he expected they should mutually fulfil whit was virtually understood between them. This must certainly be the construction, though nothing is expressed to this effect. We fear, however, that the error into which the friends of the P , iticess bai , e fallen must not a little embarrass her Royal Highness, and expose her to the odium of accepting some further provision, or of compromising the inference that has been attached to the compliance of the Prince on this oc- casion. Ju!“l,Er.. We are certainly not amongst the number of those who would put the country to unnecessary expense, or who are inclined to seduce the people from their useful callings and . busi ne-se,, but we reaPy deem the present glorious peace a sub ject of too sincere.: congratulation to deny either the Govern ment or People the festival of our signal triumphs. The sympathy " The Times" and " The Chronicle" upon this occasion is truly amusing, and, of course, intended to gratify , their respective readers—that is, the ceconomy of the East, and the factious spit it of the West End of the Town. The reports of misunderstandings between some of the Al lied Powers on points of territorial arrangement, which, at the beginning of the week, were circulated with much in tereit, are among the evanescent topics of the day ; and, in deed, a little con , ideration would have shewn their ab surdity at once. The establishment of Poland into a king dom utlder the presumptive Heir to the Empire of Russia itself, is as contrary to the policy of the Russian Cabinet as it would be obnoxious to Austria and Prussia. For our part, we must continue to augur well of a- system which begins with restoring Kosckiusko to his native country, a measure of policy which may greatly tend to reconcile the people to the intended changes, and, as he is a man of pri vate worth, 'we should hope he is selected as the precursor of better treatment for that unhappy country. The rumour of a new convention between the Allied Powers states a general change in the positions now occupied by their respective troops :—The provinces between the North Sea and the Meuse will be provisionally occupied by British and Dutch troops—the provinces between the Meuse and the Moselle by PrUssian troops—and between the• Mo selle and the Rhine by Bavarians and Austrians.—The object of these changes it is impossible for us to penetrate, unless it should be connected with the line of country that. may ul timately devolve to their respective Governments. The Parliament of Paris, after some provisiesal arrange- ! TILE NATIONAL. REGISTER. 427 ments for the better conduct of their debates, &c. have proposed, according to the papers up to the 29th instant, a number of Laws to the King, indicative, we think, of some thing like public spirit, and which, if wisely cherished by the Government, may go a great way to correct the more vicious and defective parts of their recent Constitution. WTdiscover, amongst other propositions, a Law to secure the Liberty of the Press, which can alone give permanence to the character of free establishments. If, however, we are to believe " The times," France is too poor at present to un derstand the value of Freedom, the possession of which, we suppose, must he deferred until she can calculate upon as many millions as England. We have always understood that riches rather tended to corrupt than preserve ; and, at all events, we would recommend an earlier experiment of the advantages to be derived from a free Government, than these Gentlemen seem inclined to grant them. The Queen will hold another Drawing-room at the Queen's Palace, on Thursday, the 14th of July. On Friday, the Prince Regent held a Court at Carlton House, after which the Spanish Ambassador had a private au dience of his Royal Highness, and delivered a-letter from his Catholic Majesty to the Prince, announcing his return to his dominions ; the Envoy Extraordinary to tl.e ilrince of Hesse. took leave of the Ps ince Regent, On Tuesday morning nearly 9. 00 cards of invitation were isvied in arc name of her Majesty to a party at the Queen's Palace the sine evening. It being the first party at which the Duke of Wellington had appeared since his Grace's re.• turn to England, the company present had the gratification of witnessing the gracious reception he met from the Queen and the ito' al family, as well as the cordial manner in which he was welcomed by Field Marshal Blucher and General Pla toff. His Grace wore a Field-Marshal's uniform: his left breast was literally covered with stars and other bad. es of honour, hut he wore no ponder. It is proposed to erect at Rome a lofty pyramid, in honour of Peace and the deliverance of Europe. On the top will be placed the statue of Religion triumphant. The base will be quadrangular, and formed of massy squares of marble. The principal face will hear a likeness of the present Pontiff: two others will present likenessei of the Allied Sovereigns ; and the fourth those of the most illustrious Generals and Ministers, whose arms and councils contributed to the re sult. All the nations of Europe are expected to subscribe to the erection of this monument. It may not he generally known that Buonaparte applied for a guard of English marines to remain with him in the Isle of Elba ; this could not be complied with, but a serjeanf was granted him ; in this man he places the utmost confi dence, the serjeant's constant post during the night is a mat tress at the Emperor's door. A grand funeral service has been performed at Paris, in commemoration of Generals Pichegru, Moreau, Georges, and others, who lost their lives from attachment to the Bour bons, during the usurpation of Buonapatte. On the 12th ult. Count Bellegarde addressed a proclama tion to the people of Lombardy, and of the countr - Mantua, Brescia, Bergamo, and Cremona, assut ing that they were definitively placed under the Austrian Dion. ~ies of • them domi • Ir .0 =-- • •
