The impudence of the war-faction journals now begins to be pretty generally acknowledged ;, and ', the delusions they have practised, are seen through: "but skill net *hely writers, those vile enemies to their chantey, be punished for the mischief; we fear the irreparable mischief they have done it ? Yes. As well us that the too credulous people of Britain are about to be undeceived, they will, they must avenge themselves of their deceivers. There is no nation on the face of the globe, which has been half so much abused by a selfish oligarchy and a prostituted race or hirelings. Au awful awl memorable example must be held up to futurity to prevent a handful of men, enveloped in authority, and combined with in fluence, from working upon the feelings of the com munity, and sporting with the public fortune, to setu re place and patxonage to , the one, and an inordinate profit to the other. We must have no more baronetages conferred on base ness; nor must wealth, without any reference to the manner it has been acquired, be any longer made .the .rond to distinctions and hereditary titles —else we: shall have another poet indignantly ex claim— Hove root some grueling sons of earth preroative of birth, As thoueli appropriate to descent, Were high mid uoble sentiment t What -enti•ncuts can nalebe, But those or THU CH and LIBERTY !

On Orb circumstance, as mucho4l l ol4lretither, will the eioguine wisirers for pt*, infer that the happy desideratum is not far 111 T—indeed there are those who are strongly.„ impressed, that the preliminary bases are so. far advanced, as that the whole may, •ssithout delay, be referred to a Congress. Should the rept:tits said to have arisen through private letteri meerived-frem - the - French coast on Saturday, inti mating a farther victory obtained by BONAPARTE over the Allies in the neighbourhood of Troyes, prove true, it would, in our opinion, but little re tard or ea,pedito the labours of the Peace-makers; thoughiettrids eh diagnitude might alter, in some de gree, the r 4tilts: of a particular point, though not a tangle head of tlierreity itself. It is not, therefore, in this view ;dace, that we expect to witness an ex traordinary military exertion of BONAPARTE at this crisis. Marshal Manstowr is inspired with the same ..arlike veal, if we may judge by the tenour of the Proclamation he has put forth at Etoges. We,who so well know the susceptibility of the French people, awl their promptness to Ira when they are made to feel, cannot but think that much of the effect ex pected by the Duke of RAGUSA mayet produced by this critically-timed appeal to kis countrymen. The Times newspaper, of this day, however, stilt urges the probability of the Miles entering Paris as con iraerori. Alas! how difficult it is to give up"the hope which lingeringly follows the repeatedly sad high-toned promise and assurance! The Courier lest night pulled off his white cockade, Wed threiv aside his cross of St. Louis. He is in sorrow, deep distress, and covered with all the sable habilinu:nts of funeral woe. If we ask whet are. become of his victorious lu Aeons, the march to Paris, the slaughter of BONAPARTE, and the re-es tablishment of the BovenoNs, we have the answer in the tone of JEREMIAH'S lamentations over the fallen fortunes of the people of Israel.—After al- . lading to an ercnt which way happeit to produce a material change in the amount of the Budget to be hronght forward by the Ministers, it says, " Our Readers will easily guess the nature of the event to which' we allude, and, Heaven knows, with what re lt,ctinco we do allude to it ! It is by no means im probable (would it were!) that Prellminariee of 1',.,,e 0 with BON tars will be signed, or some ge- . .

In- 1 stead of the stony-lived tyrant being detestgd by his 1 countrymen (for Corsica had been united to France , before ho was born); instead of the people calling Out for the Bounsoss, and deserting the standard of , 1 their General and Emperor; instead, in fact, of France becoming a second Poland, we are told " that the Allies have found BosAraires stronger the. they ex pected him, and that this is tbit muse of the Courier's disappointment ; a thsapPeltdment, we may win that every friend of humanity, rand to the cause ofge.neral freedom, wiltview with,com postire.; for, frorsthe went of principle manifested ie this 'sixth coalitimi against ranee, we could see nothing but no ill-boding omen f pp Success of ignorance, barbarism, and - tyranny.
