Besides the military intelligence which they contain, they aftord abundant proof of the determination of the French people to support the present Government. The Papers are tamest filled with reports of the state of prepsratien in which the great cities and the nation in general is in to maintain its independence. The elections proceed with the utmost tranquillity. and men of the greatest ability and determined patriotism are selected for representation. The assembly of the Champ de Alai, which was fixed for the :Wilt hist. (yesterday), is reported to be postponed until the Bth.(Sunday), as perhaps a day more favourable for people to attend. No attempt is made to conceal the intention of the Allies, and the dangers to which France is to he es posed. It is stated that a Declaration is to he issued• to the French nation on the part of the Allied Powers on their entry into France. It is announced that the ErdeEttoß presided at a Council of State, convoked on the arrival of an Aus trian Courier, on Monday last. Our private letter's of yesterday stated this circumstance, with the difference, - that the Council was held on Sunday. This Courier may be supposed to hive carried to Paris then:time/ma of :he Austrian Cabinet, with many lamentation', perhaps not altogether insincere, on the unfortunate necessity which has compelled the Emperor of AUSTRIA to accede to the alliance against France and his son-in-law. The last news from Italy in the French Papers fixes the head-quarters of the Austrians at Milan. All communication between Spain and France is interdicted by a Decree of the Spanish Government. ilr.

Mr. P. MOOBE theuiose—but was received with loud cries of airs:ion! throughout the House. Ile did not doubt that we were able to pay the subsidies ; but he thought, before the Committee agreed to the vote, the Chancellor of the Exchequer ought to stand forward, and state explicitly the situation of the bßances of the country. For his own part, he had voted with his lion. Friend in 1792, on a similar question, nor had he chatigNl his opinion since that period. Ile reprobated severely the idea of the Allies keeping 101 l together; and it might happen, he thought soon, that we should not only have to pay all, but fight all. There appeared indeed to be at this ►ime a most formidable political trinity. against which he wished to contend—the Property Tax, the Corn Bill, and the war. In the name of his Consti tuents, he protested against this war, which would cover the national character with disgrace, and plunge them and their families in poverty and ruin. The question being loudly called for, the House divided, when there appeared— Since the 3d of May the heail-quarters of the Aubtri;u3 may have liven at Milan.

The child was taken in, but what became of little Em.r."l since, we have rot heard. Frankfort Papers to the 20th instant arrived this forenoon. They bring information from Vienna of the 12th, stating that the Congress of Sovereigns I , there, was at length about to break up. The King of PuusstA, whose equipages had already arrived at Frankfort, was to take his departure on the 17th, the King of DENMARK 00 the 15th, and the Em peror of AUSTRIA was also to leave his capital about the end of the mouth. The fortresses on the Ger. ' men frontier are declared in a state of siege, and great efforts are making to provision and strengthen them. The number of the Allied troops on the right bank of the Rhine, is said to be daily increasing, and many travellers' stories are given to show, that the people in the neighbouring French provinces are disaffected to Ooe immediate consequence attendant •n the re.. embody ing the Militia will be, the renewal of au ex- PPlisive Mititary Staff at home, which, under our ro.amt circumstances, can only be employed for rit!inses of parade, without any view to offensive t,4 d..fen.4‘e service.

The defensive preparations, however, of the Allies, indicative of strong apprehensions of attack, will not allow us to give much credit to these stories. A Proclamation in these Papers, by Gen.

Troops nre assembling at the vulnerable 1 points, and naval armaments are establishing on the Lakes.

The subject of the Subsidies to our Allies was dis cusqql last night in the House of Commons, and 111i sti.tets bad their customary majority in the division. The vote, as we have before shited, was live millions. This sum is to be shared equally by Austria, Russia, and Prussia. This, however, will be but a drop iu the hucket compared to what will yet be required.— If the great Powers cannot move sr mite without money, the smaller States can still less do without it. Lord CASTLEREAGII asked with great triumph, " eilY a Subsidy of five millions he an induce ment to the Allies to engage in the war F.." Five million., in his Lordship's contemptuous ideas of economy, are a mere bagatelle. Yet, trifling as it may be, we tee that the high and magnanimous De livetem neither can nor will move without it. We see also, that there are exertions necessary and to be multi on the part of this country, which but ill ac cord with the boasted strength and disposition of our Allies. Great Britain is also to furnish 150,000 men, or an equivalent in money for so many as may he deficient in that number. It is well known that we cannot scud this number of British troops to the Continent—the Powers, therefore, who live by letting out their subjects to slaughter for hire, may have a chance to receive a little more of our cosh. What dependence is to he placed on these mercenaries ht the hour of need, it is not for Into say. Flow long these Treaties may remain unbroken after the money is paid, or with what vigour the bargain may be executed, we will still less venture to antici pate. We have the high authorities of Lord CASTLE. REAGIT and Lotus XVI 11. that the Contracting Powers will stick tb their bond as resolutely as Shylack, and like Slulock, perhaps—but we will not anticipate disappointment to such a high enterprize,—for Lord CASTLEREAGH tells us, with alt VANSITTA RT'S exact ness, when VANsavartv has a budget of taxes to submit, the one glorying to give it oat, and the other " blushing to 'give it in," that " one mil lion and eleven thousand men" are to take the field against " one man," therefore the contest can not either be long or doubtful. We certainly do not wish it to be long, and we shall be obliged to his Lordship and the one million and eleven thousand men to make it as short as possible; hut, as to its issue, with all the arguments and appliances to boot, which we see Used to convince us—we are really yet a little doubtful. If the French army amounts to 600,000 men, as it is actually stated to de, and the French nation have called back NAPOLEON for the purpose of establishing their independence ) and will heartily unite against the league which threatens the invasio►l of their territory, and the subversion of their rigl.ts and liberties, well may We doubt, or rather banish all doubts whatever from our minds, as to the Issue of the conflict. "To the righteous" we wish success, like the poor old woman, and f.'rsently de sire always to behold the strength nod honour of our Country marshalled in the ranks, and victorious in the cause of the righteous. But th:. cause, we fear, is not an over hallooed one.
