heir representatives ? We see they are not to be (lowed the privilege of deciding on the so hjert of the egitimacy of the Government. On this principle hey must concur with him, for his doctrine is " the undamental basis of social order, and has )gist been ..roclaimed as such by all Eurnpe"--lie should say he Sovereigns of Europe. The people of this coun ry, and no small proportion of those of Fiance are n ot of the came opinion in this respect as his Majesty. It i. certain that the establishment of this doctrine of Ki ng s has occasioned a good deal of disorder in he wni Id, and this Proclamation of louts's on his return to France, from which he had been expelled by the people, and when to have been considered as recalled by them, and to rule in unison with that 'nice, ought to have been his policy and his pride, will certainly go hut a short way to calm inquietudes, and repress disorder by conciliation. We are curious to know how Louts will deal with the present Chambers, who must either acknow ledge him, or be included in his proscription. They had courage enough not to bend to Bona eartrE—they compose the advanced-guard of the Revelution, and are certainly the men who would be again returned if any appeal were made to the peo ple.—Can we suppose, though Lours, with his two besotted thousand bayonets, surrounded them, that they 'l4 it I ever acknowledge his divine right, and receive with open arms his superstitions and feutlali ties ? But how are they to help themselves ? We an-vber. time wdl help them. The roasoti that on Moils from Paris have been /petite(' since the 47th ult. is. that the Allies are in the direct road between Paris awl Calais, so that the post is interrupted, and all communication is cut off, t.. deprive the Provisions' Government of the means o f drawing supplies for Park from that district, and prevent the armies from deriving support from the ca pital. This state of things cannot continue long. Much apprehension is entertained of a burst of popular vengeance on the Prussians when they enter the cav ils'. It is asserted that in revenge for the inhu manities of which the French were guilty towards their Prussian prisoners, the Prussian Commander gave orders to set fire to the farm-bouses, where the French had collected their 'Wounded, and among these many British wounded and prison ers, and that no less than three thonsand persons were burnt alive, in consequence of this order.— We, of course, cannot answer (and would shudder if we could, as we do at the hare mention of it) for the accuracy of this statement ; hut the circumstance is stated also to account, in some degree, for the loss of some valuable Itritish Officers, respecting whose fate no other conjecture can be formed, than that they perished thus dreadfully, as they were known apt to have been carried off by the enemy. German Papers to the '2Blla were received this forenoon, from which we make the fullowiug ex tracts : C trtLeaulit, JUNI: 21.—Since yesterday we hate heard n frequent cannonade from the other side of the Frt smaronT, JUNE 26.—The Bavarian General Count Bak..rs has taken Saarbruck by assault ; the French General Meriage commanded in Saarbruck.

A part of the city ca. val,y, the gn•llll , and the city musicians, went out to receive the Emperor. His Majesty, who had newer seen our city, ex_ pressed himself highly pleased with it, as well as with the Palace And its environs. Immediately on Hs arrival he showed himself in the balcony or the Palace to the public, who were full of joy, Wilted them in the most affable mariner, and then took a walk in the Palace gardens. The Public Authorities waited on his Majesty upon his arrival. In the evettint! the whole city was illuminated.— To-day we have fourfold quartering of soldiers, there is a continual succession of waggons with bag ome, ammunition, &e. which pass over to the left hank of the Rhine. his Nlaj.. , ,ty the Emperor Alexander will arrive with hi., suite to-morrow. Landau hat been sur founded since yesterdly by the Bavarians. Orders hare been sent to Scotland to prepare the depot at Greenlaw, for the immediate reception of French primers. 11-li' STATEEIMAINT. We congratulate the nation at large on the signal triumph obtained last night in the !louse of Com mons, by the cause of honour, ititlypenilence, and morality, against the w h ole horde of Court followerS, Ministerial retainers, and pensioned flatterers—nor are we less gratified at this than we are to perceive that the Representative of the City of Westminster, Lord CocnaANE, by taking his seat last night, was enabled to add his voice to the balsa of patriots who have preserved the country from the eternal disgrace of bestowing 60001. a year, wrung from the distresses of a suffering and oppressed people, upon his Royal Highness the Duke of Cusraera.seu. What must the emu be, who had not a single advocate as to his own claims, bat rested them solely on the extraordi nary ground of his being it King's son ? It is, in deed, a triumph, a decisive and conclusive one; and, we trust, that the Pntace ItEdr*T's Ministers, and his Royal Highness himself, will learn from it, that virtue and integrity alone confer clainis on the bounty of the people, which bounty our Royal Family has enjoyed to a most unprecedt;tited extent.— And what an exposure has followed this attempt to make the vessel overflow The public mind Is shock ed as much at the darkly hinted grounds for re fusing this Grant, as at the audacity of the attempt thus made, not only to lay fresh and most unneces sary burtliens on the people, but to obtain approba tion of what the public voice so generally pronounces to be reprehensible. Some very serious reflections have been made on the subject of the very extraor dinary insinuations, which had been thrown out in the course of this discussion against the Duke of CUMBERLAND it, the House of Commons. It would he indeed an advantage that nothing mysterious should exist, where any member of the Royal Family is concerned. All should be open and clear as noon day—where much is given so►nething is expected.— They should be all like Ch:SAR'S wife, not only pure, but beyond suspicion. And that this is not the case with the Personage in question, is palpable ; indeed the charges which have been made against . him have never been attempted to be contradicted, farther than by the bare and naked reply, that he is " a King's Som."— " Oh ! forlunati nimiusn !" too happy, indeed, would be " these privileged beings" if they were to imagine that they could set decorum, decency, and politic and private morality at defiance with the most I perfect impunity. That it is not sn, the great triumph of last night is a positive and most valuable demonstration. In good old times 'such a defeat would have been conclusive as to the existence of any Ministry—a majority against the Administra tion was considered the signal of its dissolution.— Bet how much more so would it have been if that majority had been produced on a question in volving the immediate interests of a most fit• vourile Member of the Royal Fatuity, supported by all the weight of the whole Government, aided by the active influence of the Chief himself ! It is for modern impudence to retain office under such signal disgrace, in which the Administration it self is not only deep!) concerned, but which, by their extreme imbecility and weakness in presuming to bring forward a question which should have been buried in the deepest obscurity, has, in a consider. able degree, itivolsett the whole Royal Family, and certainly totally ruined the character of the Per sonages in question,e Ito have been declared in a pub lic Assembly of the great Council of the nation, un deserving of the respect and the boon which they crave. Surely such an Administration has, by an act of such consummate folly, signed its own death war rant ! For with what face can they, or any of them, venture into the presence of their Royal Master after basing advised him to send a Message to Parliament with which it could not comply, and that on the ground that it would be sanctioning immorality ? after having been the cause of loading the brother of I their Royal Master with an odium which it will re quire no small effort to remote ? " WAR DEPARTMENT, Jailor 3, 1811 " It appears by a dispatch frets the Duke of Ww.INGIum, dated Orville, the t tith June, that the Citadel of Cambray surrendered on the 25th, and l'eronne was taken (with very ttillitig loss) on the following day. " The Allied Armies had continued their move ments towards Paris. On the '2Bth Marshal Itt.tr cttxtt's troops were at Crespy, Srnlis, and La Ferte M don ; his advanced guard would he on the 29th at St. Dmtis and Gonesse. The Duke of WELLING TON'S army was between St. Just and Taub on the 281 h, and would arrive on the Oise on the following r 1.1)." LORD COCIIR VSE..—taind COCHRANE'S application for permission to participate in the common privi. lege of taking exercise in the open air, in the prison yard, for the benefit of his health, has been refused, and in consequerce he has submitted to the payment of the fine, under a strong prwigkwritten on the bark of the Batik note of 10001. by orhich the fine was paid. The Noble Lord then took. his seat in the House of Commons, and it is curioussthat by his siug'e vote, the job of the additional alloVance to the Duke of CumBERLA MD was defeated. • In order to save our Readers the trouble of eno• merating the Officers Killed, Wounded, and Missing in the battles of the 16th, 11th, and 18th ult. as pub. fished in the Supplementary Gittette, we insert th following correct summary of the total amount of th British and Hanoverian loss:— TO TBE EDLIVR OF THE STATMSN4Y.
