I tll,lli l:;111.—The impotent rage of Admiral Jacob, who I permitted himself , on the Ist of Apiil, to fire at Blaz, tno cannon-shot on an English of truce, induced him, on the 6th, to give orders f(/'• burning the Re gulus, of 74 guns, and three brigs ; the crews escaped on shore and fled to Rochefort. English troops, landed from the 'squadron, occupied ou the 7th the forts of Ro) ans, Sewer, and Mutral.

NAnts, Matte!' 31.—The treaty of alliance con cluded at Vienna on the 11th of January, between •our Court arid that of Vienna, is just published. — .The principal articles stipulate, that from the signa ture of the treaty, there shall be peace and amity between the Emperor of Austria and the King of . Naples, and their heirs and successors, and their re• s i.etite subjects: The object of the alliance is the 'ouitinvation of the war, to establish a just equili brium between the different Powers, and prccure a solid peace for Europe, and especially for Italy, where the two sovereigns reciprocally guarantee their domiti t ions and interests.. • MO Majesty the Emperor of Austria guarantees to the King of Naples, his heirs and successors, the free possession and full sovereignty of the dominions -which his Majesty actually holds in Italy ; and his Apostolic Majesty promises his mediation to induce his nips to accede. to this guarantee.

The testimonies of respect and friendship which have heel' paid to the King of Famsct, during the Fast d'sys of his residence in this country, by persons of all ranks and stations—the regulated expressions of public functionaries, and the unbounded kind. wss% of tie people, must have made an impression on his Majesty's heart, which we fervently hope no collision of political interest between France and England ►gill for many years arise to weaken or efface. 0 i gaturday morning, about eight o'clock, Louts XVIII. departed from the Hotel in Albemarle. street, for Dover, where he yesterday embarked, and he must, ere this, have made some advance towards the capital of his dominions. 'llhe PRINCE REGENT lrft town nearly at the same time with his Majesty, ftr the purpose of attending q,im at his embarkation. ft is expected that the King will make his entry into Park on Wednesday or Thursday next, where all remaining members of the Bounaox House will, by that time, have assembled. This re-occupation by' a !Int ttaos Prince, of the throne of his an (....stors, is a theme of cnngratulation to almost every individual of all parties in France. The circumstances which have produced, and whicl► attend it, render it equally acceptable to the friends of c,tablished Monarchy, and to the advocdtes of popol•tr r; , :bts. It efft.cts an amicable composition l.f il:e claims and pretensions of all classes of poll• ticiani. It gives to hereditary claims all the value that can rwonably be demanded for them, by ac- . - knewledging that their admission has a tendency to __.—preierve the teittivreillity and pod order of a Sta te, whilst, on the other hand, it fully admits the right .or the people, whenever it shall appear to them that • their welfare demands it, to limit and controul those claims, to impose conditions on their ever se, Or to deny .them altogether. " The sentence o? per. petual exclusion from the Throne, pronounced by the French people against the Bousteons, is now miti gated ostensibly by the same power. The sovereignty is still allowed to exist in the same hands; the re laxation of a decree inns much an act of sovereignty as its original promtitgation. The joy which has been manifested in London, can give but a faint idea of that which must be felt at Paris. We are released from the burdens and calamities of a most exhaust iug war; the French, in addition to this blessing, have the prospect before them of being hereafter go. verned by mild and well-established authorities. We have at length the satisfaction of being assured that the 1`1111 4 4{011 of human blood is at an end. Solna and SuctiEv have both, after an interview with Lord WeLt.iscvoN, declared their adhesion to the new Goverument. ,The intelligence of the great change : . 1 11 II .4. 1 i r • :. ti • * :'1 t ~ :.. i 1 , . . . l 4 . : . . ft. .. . _ 4 4i ~_ t Is: 11l •. : r • 7. • - • •Zt THE s (lid not teach thin till the 12th.

FRENCH FUNDS.-61 1. 70 c. 46 GENERAL s —I send you my Ald-de-Camp, Ad miral Gollinskold, who possesses my entire confi dence, and who will acquaint you with the late events at Paris. You will see by the communications which that officer is commissioned to make to you, that the Emperor Napoleon has forfeited the Throne, and the Senate is going to offer the Crown to Louis XVIII. after having laid the foundation of a liberal Constitu tion. You are sufficiently acquainted, General, with my principles, to know that I should pro pose nothing to you, which was incompatible .wlth your duties towards your country ; it is these duties which invite you now to contribute to the return of order and tranquillity in France, by Doing homage to the Government which is going" to be established by the national will. By proposing to you to give np the fortress or which you have the conunand, and to add your troops to those which I lead to the conquest of peace, I show my desire of preserving to France a man who may still be so useful to her by his distinguished talents, and I give you the most so lemn proof of the esteem and consideration which I have always entertained for you.

Mr. STEPHEN taking huff at being designated whit he is, a Master in Chancery (with a good profit of 20001. a-year), puts us in mind of Sir Artitteen 11--z, who was offended in nearly a like manner by a gentleman in conversation with him. The Baronet was riot, it is true, like Mr. s—, an " Utter Barrister ;" but he was an Utter Disputant, and, by virtue of his diploma from a learned Society, he maintained as week an argument as the lawyer respecting " vested rights," , which occasioned hit friend in warmth to -say,--" You Royal Society Fellows are always positive" (he might have said in. that case arrogant).—" Fellows l'• replied the tali gentleman (for he was more of a giant than the . • Chaetery Master), " Fellows!
