The occupation of Belgium for the ;;lierl, clapping him on the shoulder, that he did not King of HOLLAND, and the replacing the old Boye r:ant him to teach his the laws of honour.'" nom King of France on the Throne, are considered by our Ministers objects desirable and important enough to warrant our staking every thing on the ha zards of war. The British, therefore, and the Prus. siaus, and such mercenaries as may enter into our pay, may be expected to bear the chief brunt of the battle, and the principal pait of the pressures and privations which • the war will occasion. It is said, that in consequence of a deficiency of physical means to attempt the accomplishment of the task which the Allies have imposed upon themselves, the Duke of WELraswrosr lids required the whole dis posable force of the kingdom ! Whether the objects of the war are sufficiently British and important to us to warrant such exertions on our part, evidently hopeless because they are impossible, we scarcely j need say to any one who has a judgment to exercise. Among other documents connected with the pre- I sent state of affairs, which we lay before the public, the letter from the present King of Narr.ts to the PRINCE REGENT cannot fail to engage the Reader's ' attention. We really could hare wished to have I seen such authentic looking documents and the Mir cial correspondence which could afford incontestible and good reason for rejecting such propositions as King JOACHIM'S State raper contains, laid before the House of Commons and the British nation, in preference to the garbled scraps of old letters from bONAPARTE and his sister, which Lord CASTLE.

SEL:OND CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS. The Congressional NlMaons at Vienne, who have so long been ropourMg and " talking hie —holding Imperial routs—driving about in Imperial sledge parties-riding in Imperial swing-swangs—cutting up the geographical position of Europe, by round ing the corners of some parts, and projecting (hem is others—talking of old Haase:, as misers talk of old gold, when in fact they are little better than old Al,nanacFs—and disposing of human beings, as though they had obtained Letters Patent from the Deity to become the wholesale drovers and carcase butchers of the world. These " High Mighti nesses" have entertained the world with a " Se cond Chapter of Accidents," which , they issued at Vienna on the 25th of March, " in the Name of the most Holy and undivided Trinity," and in which they profess.to march all their chosen bands of free-born Cossacks, and free-born slates, of an hundred different wiring, to preset-re, by means of . war and devastation, the peace and good order of mankind; and, in paiticular, " to support the French against NAPOLEON BONAPARTE," whom they described in their " First Chapter of Acci dents," which they issued at Vienna, on the 1:::11 of March, as a criminal adventurer, withoiit adherents, and without hope. It happens rather oddly, how ever, for their proffered kindness, that France (if the people are to be reckoned any thing) does not " want protecting against NAPOLEON BONAPARTE ;" for there he is looked upon as the conservator and pro tector of those numerous blessings which, according to the testimonies of our best English tourist+, who have visited that country, have sprung out of their Revolution. But these kind congressional Monarchs, in their 66 paternal mode" of doing things, insist upon it, that the voice of Louis (reho reigned in b;s Em pire at Hartwell, near nineteen years) is the voice of France; they therefore Invite hint, in the spirit of his " paternal goodness," to call upon them to march their armies " to the aid of France," that they may cot their way peaceably through the ranks of his ' 6 loving subjects," to place him again on the Throne of his forefathers; and the good and harmless old man expresses his readiness to aid the " wilted Monarchs" in their holy enterprize, for he and his Minister at War, who fled from Parisin a bottle of straw, are forbidding his said 66 loving subjects" from paying taxes to, or serving in the ranks of the " rebel" BONAPARTE, who, very pro bably, has been studying the art of legerdemain in Elba, as he seems to have bound all the French in his 6 ' ChirMs."—The Allied Monarchs may lay down their arms with the utmost safety, for this scheme of Lours a nd l•A Minister must settle BONARTE at his once !! Besides the First and Second Chapters of Acci. dents, there are also some sections come forth, which hereafter may be embodied into a Third Chapter, the most material of which is an article, purporting to • bo o t Prot.lain-Ater' fr, , fir his Majesty of PaussrA to hls"lhvinq sobjoets." okl and new, many of whom . are giving his Majecy a striking proof of their at. .torlimeni to his person and submission to his laws, by quitting his " kingdom of scraps," and seeking refuge in other countries, some of them even in the ranks of the enemy. This King, whose bad faith is proverbial, even to England herself—this King, nlio seized upon our REGENT'S dear,dear kingdom of Ilan. over, because BONAPARTE permitted him to do so, and because it was convenient to the rounding or squaring of his dominions—this King, ‘slio met ALEXANDER at midnight to swear fidelity to him over the tomb of the " GREAT FREDERICK," and who shortly after violated his 44 midnight oath" by drawing his sword against him—aye, even this King is now talking about " perfidious men"—about liberty too—and is calling upon his people to rise in arms to invade France, in the nnn.e of " GOD," fin. the purpose of giving repose to the world, " for order, for morality." Really, Reader, is not this too much, even for the most prejudiced to swal low ? Is It not insulting the precepts of religion, the ' dignified soul. of the sage, the rectitude of the ca suist, the comprehensive mind of the philosopher, the reasoning of the politician, and even the Majesty of Heaven !! Had this King any thing in his whole composition, which contributes to the formation of an honourable mind, we would say,—" leave his in sults, Ms rashness, his hypocrisy, and his impiety, to be punished by the pangs of a reproaching con science;" but, as that is not the case, we can only recommend the satire of a SWIFT, and the cutting strokes of a Jonnos, to be applied as occasion may , require. • Another article which may be considered as form ing part of the " Thirl Chapter of Accidents," is the Anitrian Manifesto against MURAT, King of Naples, in which he is mightily blamed for r ' taking advantage of all the elements of a political and mili tary Revolution," to secure to himself the Throne he has acquired. MURAT obtained the Crown of auspice, partly ass recompence of his very distinguished services to France, and partly as a consequence of his having married the sister of NAPor.Eon, who had Imperial as well as Royal Thrones at his disposal ; and who, if victory should again attend his banners, and if he should take a lesson from the political conduct of JOSHUA, may once more have the same Crowns to dispose of; then FRANCIS and FREDERICK WILLUM may have occasion to remember, in the an guish of their hearts, that they more than once re.l ceieed their Crowns as loans at his plebeian hands. They yet have the means of preventing even the risk of this danger, if, like An as, they are not urged on by false prophets to their owodestruction. But, to re- I turn to the King of NAPLES, who is now performing a , most cortsplcuous part on the great theatre of the world.. This King is charged with sayitig, when he heard of, NAPOLRON'S entrance into Lyons, " that he consi dered the Estemion's cause as his own, and would now prove to him that it had never been foreign to him." To those Monarchs and Ministers who make duplicity the sine qua non of their political conduct, it may seem strange that MURAT should have made use of those words ; but that he ihoutil have scud from the impulse which toted them, it seems impoz.sible to doele, when the state in which he was placed is taken i:ori the account ; and his having ma(!e his word: no , l ac tions correspond. indy proses that his coti 1:10 loci his views corropond also. Allied Monavci.s, too proud to be counselled, or to keep theireng:l4, !ne.iis with one who had iiewly " acquircd a place ate the Sovereigns of Europe . ," secretly, as they: thouelo, took meascrcs to recloie this hard of royalty from his perch ; and it so happeeed. accords log to acroures Ii um Vienna, thY, on the very day in which NsroccoN lati&il in Franco. dispaLches were sent from that city., intr;rming tl L,71: t r that tine Conere•s had decided i! 2 11 i ;Ist his beieg 1 tho fortunes of his great oolitiea; Creator weio on the wane, this " man of lionilde dig regarded the wand g voice iit Holy Writ, v. hielt says.

The reason open"y assigned why Mcn.tT was not finally recognized by the Allied Sovereigns, is lint a little curious, considering the ailsantage his ticachery to NAPOLEON had been of to the cause of ad !fort:es- 0 tome of which seem going to decoy.—lt is this: The branches of the II of [lot:linos declared against the recognition of JoActitst."— foal is, tie Kings of EIIANCE, SPAIN. arid :;ICILY declared bum unfit to reign, and a public enemy, and refused to have any thing to do with him, except that of piiliP4 to drive him from his Throue. In vaitt did Muatr address Congress collectively and England vidually ; in vain did he tell them he was compelled to arm in his own defence—his addresses were treated with contempt, and his arming with reproof; and, if NAToLeoN had nut returned, he must either have surrendered up his Crown, or have held it of Austria as a feudal fief. The favourable moment arrived, he seized it by the forelock—he buckled on Ids ar mour —cast his fortunes into the field of combat —ad dressed the Italians in the impassioned la r ig o i ! g e of liberty—and is now giving the Austriansau eat nest of his views. Another charge against Mon AT is, his wishing to imitate his beilers by an attempt to etilaige his do minions, and this too at the expense of the Holy ther, whose political existence is stst• d ay Austria to be "of the highest importance." It k true, FRANcIs, that the political existence of the' Pope most be considered by you and the English Ministry. as of " the highest importance," or why hare such torrents of German, Spanish, Portuguese, and British 1,1 0 ,4 been shed for the restoration of him, and that dread• ful train cf stultifying, horrific, and secretly operating powec, which, during a thousand years, has blasted the happiness of a great portion of the earth's popu, lation ? But, thanks to Providence, the first moment of interest after the overthrow of the Bototayes in France - has been marked by the second, an.l,we hope, the final 'overthrow of the POPE; and every liberal mind must wish, that it may be the precurser of the downfal of every throne that supports the Ineui aitiou. Carlisle has followed the spirited example of Lon. don in petitioning against thr renewnl of war, on no oilier grounds than that BONAPARTE is in possession of the throne of France—and on other topics con nected with the national welfare. • The Redwing sloop of war, of 10 guns, Captain YOUNG, from the Leeward Islands, are veil yester dayat Portsmouth, in '26 days from St. Thomas's.— Strife!, in with a transport, which told her that war was declared, and that the coasts were lined ssitts cruizers looking out for privateers. The Redwing afterwards fell in with a French vessel, and.capturyd her ; she took the Frenchmen out, put her crew on board, and sent her into Plymouth.
