On Sunday, the 15th, ; the Northumberland arrived here with the 1 4 Eeror and his suite. On Monday his Sur i nglishman) called on me, and took me with m ou board. I was introduced to General Bertrand and his Lady, and the other passengers; after re.. maining • few minutes in the ward room, Bona parte wee announced to be on deck, when we all went op. I approacheJ him, and took off my hat ; be did the same: he silted me if there were any good watch-makers in the place? I told him there was a very good one, a Mr. Solomon., who is also a very respectable merchant.

L'berty could emanate from no source but the Coslitien—no peace or prosperity could be en- pled by Europe, unless the Confederacy was tri. l umpliant, for nothing but such words as moderation,. l tranquillity, national freedom, and happiness, was'l ever in the mouths of the august Ptioces who com..J nosed it. They alone were sincere—they alone were actuated by no selfivh interests-- , they marshalled in the timed - cause of mankind, w h ose pod alone they had at heart—thei searched not•forth like the guilty nation, whose minil proivess 'they had united to check, to carry l aw less warfare into the heart of peaceable States, to seize on their franchises a. 44 thei wealth, to destroy their political rights ar i l dismember their territories —they sought but the re-establishment of universal union and confidence, in the suppression of revolu tionary principles in France.'

Is it freedom from any of the, unjustifiable oppressions and burthens that have so long pressed spots mankind ? is it a general amelioration of Go. iernments and the situation o. the people? Is it the restoration of political r;glors to nations and indivi• duals? And can the peace and prosperity of Europe he the object or the effect ef• such compacts as the Alliei) Powers have ma.le, a ith this (ICON eel inietititin; and to cement their alliance arid their victories 2 Whoever looks ott these Conventions and the state of Furor, will he able to answer these questions.—' France has, hiked, been humiliated, the Pyre system, esiti the Pm principles, which have imposed so many ' stii4eries on this country have indeed taiumplred; but i small are the grounds w hick Europe, if she is not in ilnie.with slavery and orpression, has for felicitation 1 over the 'extinguished libeoli. '5 and independence of France. The confirmation of the principle of legi. limey, that is the support of Kipp, whatever may ' be their conduct, and the maintenance of the Roue- coxs on the Throne of France, is boldly acknow. ' hedged as the object of the Grand Alliance, as the t real and glorious object to which all (heir efforts and desires have been tending, whatever mar ho.ve Ebeen the disguises under which this darling object has hitherto been veiled ;' - this is the object for the main. tenanee of n !rich the people of Great Britain are tt) . .,keep up a large standing army in a time of peace, land these are the principles, the very reverse of those 1 incolcated by the British Constitution:, which the Parliament of this country will shortly be called upon to sanction. It is true that the Powers who hate thus leagued for Or .. preservation of the divine right of Kings, and who, in the height of their arro. , gance, tell the world that they *ill allow no notions of popular right to militate against this, have itaken the situation of the French people so far into consideration as to advise their protege now on the • Throne to be as kind to them as possible, well knowing, no doubt, the nature of thalGovernment 1 which they have imposed. They recommend 46 a I mild and paternal Government," conciliation, and so forth ; but we can already judge of the taloa 44: this recommendation by its effects. 66 A wise and paternal Governmeet proceeding in a proper manner to tranquillise and conciliate the minds of the people, 1 and abstaining from every act, contrary to such a i system," may certainly do much towards maintain. ! ing the public tranquillity, and also in re-establish ing universal union and confidence, whatever may have been the conduct of the Allies to France; but who cqn say 4hat the French have such a Government ? Who can say that there is any one act among those which .have dis tinguished the return of Louts X Vlll.,calcu hated to conciliate the minds of iiis tiubjecis, and close the wounds which. he ought to be the first to heal ?—We hear of nothing but new measures of severity engendering by the Government, of pri. sons already full of persons against whom no crime can be proved, and the continual. and appalling prospect of trials, scaffolds, and ven geance, and the murder of poor unoffending Pro testants by bands of wretches wearing the cockade of a Prince of the Royal Family. " The Duke q ' of• WELLINGTON is entrusted with discretionary ! powers." Well ! and what then ? The Duke's discretionary authority is only for stifling seditiots and suppressing " every symptom of revolutionary convulsion." The Allied Powers recommend conci liation to Lours and his Government—but how have they themselves practised the conduct they recom mend ? Conciliation, it seems, is only a sirtue in the Meek—the powerful despise it. But let us re- ! mind those who have now in theirfiands the destinies' of mankind,. that power is of a very fleeting nature, that Monarchies and States may be weakened, but a I people cannot ; and time the eternal principles of jos- 1 (lee ate not to be obliterated by swordr and bayonets.
