I A . '4 the noblest enterprise. The French are driven from its territory ; its independence Is secured ; its civil liberty restored. Sicily, by the support of the same - - - - - - Power, has been preserved from the general de. loge, and has suffered nothing.—By the gene. rot), sentiment of its Prince, it has risen from slavery to liberty, and aspires to retains its ancient lustre among independent nations. Holland aimi at the same object ; shall then Italy alone re. main under the yoke? Shall Italians alone fight against Italians for the advantage of a tyrant, and to coalirm the slavery of their country? Italians! delay no longer, and you in particular, Italian 4 ,.

Thus shall our unite•l efforts restore Italy to what she was in better times, and. which Spain already is now. 141011011,1, MARCH 14. W. C. Bentinck, Com mandet-in-Chief of the British troops. In consequence of orders from France, all the forts on both sides the Po, are evacuated by the French. The castle of St. Angelo was to be eva- coated on the 10th ; the citadel of Ancona, and the fortresses In Tuscany are already free from the ene- my's troops. Ltynrar, Aran. 14.—Accounts from Cologne, of the 11th inst. say, that Aogereav, on the news of Bonaparte% dethronement, is gone over to the Allies with his whole army. The Swedish Mnjor Gyllios Kep, has brought certain news, that Mnestritht has capitulated, and is occupied by the Allies. Some public prints say, that several Members of the States of the German and Gallician Hereditary Austrian dominions intend to rebuild the Imperial Palace at Vienna at the eipenca of the different States of the Empire; a plan, still in existence, was made for this purpose, under Charles VI. Under Leopold U. it was again talked of, and a model made, witich is still preserve& But the death of that Emperor and the breaking out of the war of the Re volution,eaused the plan to be again laid aside... Now the States intend to compliment his Majesty when he retarns from his itictorious campaign, by taking on themselves the expettee of this building ; and, it is said, the matter is already laid before the Emperor for his approbation. By the dispatch of Lord CAsTitltthOtt, inserted in the Supplement to Saturday's Csaarflrt, w e are in formed of the leadipg circomstaitces attending the entrance of Alossisue into Paris, on the 12th inst (last Tuesday); ancitlie French Pipers of that and the following day are filled 'with the details of this occurrence, which is stated by every account to have drawn forth the meet lively manifestations of joy from the Petition,. It Nat (*moiety a mark of do. licacy arid good taste on the wilt tile Emperor of RUSSIA and the Sing of PRUSSIA, to withhold their presence from a ceremony, in which they might have appeared with so much eclat, bat in which their presence %% meld have served to divide the regards of the people, or to render their plaudits of uncer tain application. 'llls ceremony was ; in every re spect, well calculated to draw forth, from the re stored Prince, and the distinguished Frenchman who went to meet him, the most lively expressions srf their reciprocal sentiments. That this, the best of its effects, should not be disturbed by them, the Allied Sovereigns wisely and magnanimously re solved. It appeared to them that as French feel ings only were proper to be exhibited, French men only were proper to be present. Lord CASTI,VREACII had not this delicacy of feeling, he could not so willingly forego an occasion of obtrusive and ostentatious self-exhibition. How striking the difference between great and little men ! ALUANDER and FRVAERICR- WILLIAM would con sent that the Bourbon Prince should receive the un divided homage of the French Marshals, Senators, and people ; but my Lord CASTISREARM and his co adjutors were determined to share with the latter the mattering notice, the pleasing affability, the exulting and grateful congratulations of the Bourbon Prince; they did not fear being thought too forward; they could not imagine that their presence, distinguished and oficiel foreigners as they were, could repress the current of feelings purely national, or distract and confound any of the parties to this solemnity. Marshals Monne& and MONCRY, with some others, have signified their adherence to the new Coastitetioo; and it appears by a letter from Dieppe, which reached town yesterday, that Mar shal to s taken a similar step. Bete tis country and France we have greet reacnn I ope, that the peace now about to be cow fitted will be of very considerable duration. Oai ; nod effect resulting from the siteation in which Ea. rope has been placed, is the moderation kites intro ,fixed generally into the popular antipathies and ani mosities of na tie ns.Th is happy effect has been produced in a greater degree, perhaps, in the ease of France sad England, that, in any other. For the last twenty: fire years, from the very commencement of her row volotionttry tempests France has been to England the ntiect of sympathy, even in the midst of oar bitterest hostilities. Her efforts for the establishment of pond e.ll freedom obtained our warmest approbation, their ("lure procured her our sincerest pity, and that she 1.3, now a fair prospect of attaining to the enjoyment 4.l,• , ,osiderable constitutional advantages, is, amonpt tlrious causes of joy, one of the most general, 4 si.trotieg, and abundant.

They are all, in habits sod mourners in social attachments, and domestic ties, almost as much Englishmen as Freochmen. The last circumstance we shall men- tion, as being highly favourable to our hopes of du rable tranquillity, is the prospect of such a collision and conflict of parties in France, as will leave her Government little leisure to form enterprises of am bition or schemes of glory. Between the old and the new men in the politics of France, he who has not al - ready discerned the indications of an so proaching conflict, must, we think, have been a very inattentive, or a very eurellecting, ob ' server of recent events. The old men, that is to say, those connected with the ancient Court, will bask and flourish ht the sunshine of royal favour ; as far as the influence of the Crown can secure their political ascendancy, it will be "cared. These men will probably be the friends of &gland ; and as the foreign polititics of a nation must always depend principallyon the executive power, . they will be the most useful friends, the friends most 1 The Leander, liamactryad, and Penelope frigates, likely to ensure the permanence of peace,that wecould and the &pair sloop of war, sailed from Cork the possibly have.

I am, Sir, feelings, with the new structure and organization Your most obedient bumble servant, of society, to which the political convulsions C. V. PE.NROSE. of France has given birth. As their opponents will , be the men of the Court, they will be the men of the people. Some persons of a timid temper, will be disposed to foresee nothing but evil from the ex• istence and struggles of two such parties. For our selves we confess we perceive in it no symptoms of any thing but good. 66 Party," says an eminent man, " is the madness of many for the gain of a few." The definition is inaccurate and superficial. The existence of Opposite political parties in a State, serves greatly to correct the evils which the imperfections elf all political Constitutions would *custom. They tom as most wh.14. 1 some restraints upon each other. They afford the.. moat effectual practical guarantee of the public interest, and of the people's rights. The miseries France has endured will have taught her to avoid that degree of party violence which leads to anarchy, sod , short of this, there is no degree of party activity what most be beneficial to her. Whilst such are the prospects of France, what are the prospects of Emit land ? Of these we cannot speak with the same fidence. The hour of trial is, however, at hand; and the friends of freedom, the enemies of those corrup tions which have undermined the constitutional fabric, must present a bold, an overawing, a resistless as pect to their opponents; they must seize the ap. proaching moment of external quiet, to insist on the reuotation of the Constitution, or the alternative is .-too obvious; the streams of corruption will flow with an accelerated course, and every remaining • vestige of freedom will be swept away by the fool i torrent. We do not despair that much may yet be done. For ninny years the feelings of patrio tism have been absorbed in the idea and the resolution of resistance to the foreign foe. Domes tic evils and dangers, appearing less pressing and urgent, have been viewed with comparative apathy. They %till now, however, hold the first place in the contemplation of the Public; and the boned iodig nation, the generous efforts which have hitherto been engrossed by the foreign, will now be directed towards the domestic enemies of England. ... .~; (:. r " 4 s• NAVAL INTShLIGEIkE. • • . i ''' Sol4•4 4 lo* . thet 44 grim ifidgetiard4 , hdi imoothed Ilids sorinkkd Ir!'gift;' anti a blessing We have so long linzioutly looked for, a permanent and honObrabler 'peace with Fleece, alinoit (*sin . ; and so Many toil lions of befogs, before designated as comets enemies; are about to be converted into friendt and allies,' is, ' the time to give nay to estiltation and rejoicing.-- 4 The memorable octurretices that have to recently taken place, must strike. all classes .
