(now styled in the French Papers Count Ds Ltr.t.c) is at Brussels, waiting for the arri val'of the Duke of WiLLIMITOii. The English Commissariat in Belgium has received instructions to prepare provisions and forage for 80,000 men, in cluding a large proportion of cavalry. The overture which we have more than once stated to have been made to our Ministers, was made by Favour., and holds precisely the same language as NAPOLION uses to the Councils of State. A com munication of the same sort was made to the other PrOrmrs, through the medium of their Ministers at Pais. ONE o'CLocz.—Three French Mails have just ar rived by way of Calais. We shall communicate their contents as soon as they reach us. We understand there if a very serious division in the Cabinet, on the propriety of peace or war, and a change in Administration is confidently anticipated. We have heard mentioned a very extensive arrange. Arent, said to be in contemplation, but shall forbear giving the particulars to-day. The bull-dogs of war, who opened with Each fury 1 against BONAPASTE the moment they got scent of his being again in the field, are in danger of being sadly disappointed of the feast which they anticipated.— They have suddenly been placed in a situation the most laughable and tantalizing. Some of the pack I have been unable to restrain the ebullitions of their `rage at this unexpected' disappointment, and have turned round and attacked their masters, accusing them of having let out the game merely to disap-* point them, and others have been under the ne cessity of counterfeiting a cowardly howl themselves, and using all manner of canine argument, to get their prey voluntarily to pat himself within their power, Or their masters to 46 cry havock, " and pounce upon the victim without consideration or remorse.— Of this latter description is the mastiff of the Times, who having suffered a severe disappointment by the unexpected termination of the war with America, has absolutely been outrageous ever since. The prospect of a renewal of carnage on the Continent of Europe has indeed directed his attention to .a new field ; but, as is usual in such cases, it seems only to whet his appetite. We entertained very natural apprehensions from this prospect and the warm weather besides, but when we least expected It, the hot-blooded CERBERUS of the Times has fallen Idto a cool fit, and looks like an ill-judging cur, who knows not whom he is barking at. BONAPARTE, " the breaker of treaties, who has ever lived bat for war," will neither break the Treaty of Peace sigitid et Paris, nor inetify the horrible Declaration winch the Allies' castled against him, by o i sse.sermddr their territories, and glutting the fiends of war with their dear-loved banquet. The Alike, It. Is feared, will absolutely be under the necessity of breaking the Peace which they themselves swore to maintain, before NAPOLISM will commence hostili ties against them. This is certainly very awkward for I • the Allies, after they have placed hiM out of the pale of social reletione,--wonl l 4eep company with hide, and say, that nobody else iirorild do so, though the whole population of France have hailed him their Etiperor. The setter up and puller down of Kings, Ithe very Kings who are now denouncing him—he who entered the walla of .. Vkjsmi (wigs), of Berlin once, and restored.to the Monarchs of Austria and Prussia, unimpaired; their respective dominions—' Abe occupant of the Kremlin and the Escurial—he who rested his right on the Adriatic, and his left on the Baltic—the Mediator of the Helvetia Confede ra • cy—the Protector of the Confederation of the , Rhine, the Kiag•of Italy, &c. most unexpectedly offers to accept the conditions 44 imposed by the Conquerors sif Fairis c "—How provoking! how fraught with dis appointment I after the Allies have all prepared for battle, too, and 1,0,000 Prussians are said to have mated the Rhine for that purpose ! COI there is nb accounting for such moderation, but by the fact which is now proved, that BONAPARTE is a coward ! and not in a condition for war, %s ire he more reliant thin he is ! Have at him, therefore, whilst he is weak ! never mind treaties—say he broke then; first by leaving his prison its Elba, Wore be could with any degree of safety or decency be sent to St. He lena, thongh'he had gnarenteed to him, by Wady, sir independent sovereignty in Europe,—theogis his , wife and son were not, nor were to be, put is peeseael sinn of the territories ga4ranteed to them by Treaty, and not • a shilling of his pension, inscribed on the ;gigot book of France, was paid to him, unless the . English Mini;try were so accommodating to the BOURBONS as to pay it for them. Never mind ell this, say the arguments for war—'tie enough that a man so dangerous to old' Aston is r.broted again and invested with power—he Mast be put down, or per hapi(thnse who govern upon other systems may ex perience some changes, and that would not be for .the benefit of the human race ! " The .Treaty of Paris vra: ata made with Ahn, and never would have 'hoeta - rua , :?:;with him.. No Power in Europe would 'at that time have taken hit woad for sixpence."— Elegant easoning—the lawyer and the Than of busi m'iss complete I Let the 46 burro" aitri the war r w hoop, therefore,, be resounded throughout this one-and-twen. ty Depa rtmenie of the Russian Empire, and let.all the 'Waal sf savieges dint desuleted the Continent before thkatplisk tet kligitimaie of the true old, atop has teen:4ntpullo4'. from' the Throne which it' f2O- Oki 04 (1110 104 Obbllt to 0114 1 "1114 otAorr crowned heads conceive they are endangered ►,v Change. High crimes and misdenwanouis aged her conquerors certainly, for which Fiance ougl.t be made to suffer. This is the way the senses of to, are attempted to be abused, and the world loci, to bloodshed by persons who ought to know het( and who •oluntarily shut their ears to the dictates humanity, and their eyes to the clearest facts. Shame on this jesuitical cant, this low servility, sin against truth and nature, this cowardly appeti i for blood, breathing through the pen, fully as structive and demoralizing as the swords of a licen, tious banditti. The Thies is particularly enraged at the Deck:; tion of NAPOLEON, that Kings are made for and the People, and not the People for Kings. Is doctrine now preached up by the Times, congea to either the letter or the spirit of the British Co n , tution ? and might not the violent attacks which Times is now making on the principle which seal the House of Buttrawics on the Throne of the realms, tending as' it does, to impeach their r; to the Throne,which is derived solely and alone fn the will of the PeOple, be demised worthy of the tention of the ATTORNF.Y-GEKLRAL, in his oft capacity. For it is public cud notoriety) that , present King sits on the :throne, solely by the cision of the People expressed at the Revisal when the De Jure possessor of the 'throne 'was prived of it, and replaced' by another, whose nigh, were solely elective, and do which fleas alone, descendants, the present Family, now reign. The Timer contends that the hereditary Vit t Kings are eternal and unchangeable —that tile of the people is of no concern—that soy pi e they obtain can only be considered u freeillts. mere concessions from the Sovereign, who Online!, de jure as well as de facto, positive rights '*e; person., 'property, lives, and liberties of all *films ple under his dominion. If such doctrine as this is to be received atgoild— if we must and ought quietly to submit to the !obi. trary rule of the Monarch, and are to consider oar. selves as possessing no rights but what emanate fr his generosity, the people and the Parliaments this country are in a grievous mistake respecting the, power and their rights. Letters from China, up to the end of May, were received in town yesterday by way of Aererics, which state, that the Doris frigate, whilst in cbs , of an American ship on the coast of China, fired werel shots, one of which unfortonately reached shore, and killed six Cbinese.—The Chinese had 1, consequence put a stop to trade with alithe'FAropesa vessels.
