As might be expected, the general rumour is, that it was effected with the cognizentee r f Government ; hut us there is no moving a step without passports, time may remove suspicion. Immediately the escape became known, which circulated rapidly, the circumstance of the harriers being shut, and uo true allowed to pass without the strict est scrutiny, Paris was ill the greatest surprise ; aml from these precautions it was rather absurdly concluded that the usiatival was known to be still within the city. The military before complained of the delay that took p!nee in executing the sen tence of the law upon Lavalette, butt they are now e dissatisfied ; they say that civil officers are to sin with impunity, but that the soldiery, who are called upon to obey the commands ,if Giver ti me n t, are ;dour to be punished—that the military alone arc to be degraded. It is beliered ►hat our troop% will not quit Paris so soon as was expected, perhaps not this month. -jI C411(1111111ell flight loot, lit to I ity of &Any forimoi tering into a detail of 114 many bloody actions whirh h; lit in this campaign, and in which Aliasll4l Nev took so glorious a part; without -oe,ll.ing adult victory at Moskowa, which gave tl.c Duke of Elchingen the title of Prince, which tip! cumpteror and the conquered alike conferred n , , him, we shall merely call to mind that this il lustrious and generous warrior, at the head of some heroes who devoted themselves with him, saved the wrecks of an army; pursued at once by fire; per, and all the horrors of a climate where a speedy. death was the last wish, and seemed to be the only hole oh the soldier, It was at thi3 epoch of mourning and consterna tion, but also of high deeds and glory, that Marshal Ney crowned in some sort his military career, and de,erved to lie placed at the head of the hattalions a tarots whom lie alts knew how to preserve for France.

TIIURSDAY. DECEMBER 28, 1815. The continued severity of the weather has pre vented the regular arrival of the French Mails; hut a solitary Paris Paper has arrived in town, through a private channel, from which ae list .•0111..! extracts. They chiefly relate to the escape of Count LAVA LLITE from the prison of the Conciergerie, and notice all the rumours circulating iii Paris, relative to the place of his concealment, Hight, and arrest. These are, of course, us varied and contradictory as the wishes and fears of their propagators, and such may naturally he expected in an extensive city, on an occurrence so interesting as the present.— Should the Count have escaped into Bavaria, as i 4 generally supposed, or by other menus have with drawn himself from the pursuit of his enemies, even the KING might regard • the circumstance with com placency. Any occurrence that could free Ins MA- FsTY from the clue! necessity, whether read or ima ginary, of shedding Wood, must alto , a cause for self atulatiou. AVe really believe that the old man is totvwdling to tinge hi- grct halts in blonil of his subjects ; but he is surrounded by ticrtain san guinary royalists, who persuade him - that mercy is inconsisteitt with power, and vengeance the choict.ist attribute of motiarcliy. The pirjudiee of his 4-illo cution forbids hint to consider his baaisliment from France its an interruption of his right to the throne, or the existence of other governments in that country as a defeasanCe. of his authority-, Sacri fices must therefore be offered to-atone for the vio lation of the divine right, and.while he tvii7iousty exacts the expiation, he weeps over the victims w ins übliorrent doctrines. What pity it is that a dis position naturally mild, should he so fatally per verted, or become the easy tool of interested priests and courtiers, who escape the odium while they enjoy the advantage of severe and 'arbitrary Measures ; but how much more to be lamented 14 it, that. re ligion and government, originally lii,:tittittAl to correct IsisSion, temper violence, teal illuminate the lerstanding, should be so altW•eil by artful villainy, us to be employed in consecrating mutual crinies, and pet•petuating Wick clouds of igno rance and error, in which the human mind had been so long enveloped, but , which preserved the mysterious authority, even still arrogated by the rulers of the world ! The Paris Editors represent the financial state of the kingdom as extremely favourable. It would seent that the present Minister of Finance possesses very entioent talents for the creation of funds necessary to meet the exigencies, and his development of the resources of France is so complete, as to excel the sanguine expectations. In the exultation expressed ut their barter: plenty of gold in circolation, and no fear of a parer currency, there seems to he intentlea a sneer against England. This self-flattery is perfectly fair, although the iii stance .seems not well chosen. Their vanity would be more highly gratified if they extended the cum .l arison between the financial state of the two em pires somewhat further, and contrasted their neve tables with our enormousdelit—their system of ceo wuny with ours of prolusioil— their amount of nem sionul imposts with our immense mortgaged taxa tion. France is, with respect to her finances, ma almost regenerated liation—Englitud a debilitated Om; will while the former will, in live years, free herself from the coniequelices of a disastrous war, the latfer will be compelled not only to coutinue, for the same time, her war to‘es, but eve+, to in crease her debt still further by the customary war loans. In the estimates to be submitted to Podia- ILIVIIt In the ensuing Session, secret service money will form a very consider:olle item.- The confidence which incrusts unlimited stuns to Government tt der this title, has grown up within the last no years to a height that tenders the reeintint of Parlitenent almost nugatory. It is a *tiered subject, unfit fur vulgar inspection, and pawmil over Ile solemn silence. But, under the present dreadful em hurrassmelits of the comitry, would this reverential awe be observed, if it were known that untold sums have been luvished to support the puerile vanity of our Ambassadors mid Plenipotentiaries? Would the country listen with patience to the I Wail+ of idle extravagance abroad, supported by the pit tances wrong from the hard hand of penury at home ? We can assert with confidence, that the share allotted to England from the French contri bution, will fall far short of the sums expended by the ostentatiou of our Ministeis during the late ne gotiations. It is in consequence of this unthinking profusion, which alike prevail* in every depart ment of the State, that the system of loans is found still necessary. Loans are by much the ittogt convenient means or relieving the tem pastry embarrassmetits of the Minister. Their operation is immediate, while their effects on the country is less sensible. The t r ifli ng ill etease of -a tax is not felt so severely as tii excite much general attelition to the expenditure of GO.- remittent, and the fillances of the nation are thus insensibly reduced to such- difficulties, that war and peace are alike indifferent. Every State in Europe, wherein the system of loans existed, sunk under their paralysing influence. The Italian Republics afford the first example: from theta the custom was introduced tutu France, Spain, England, &c.— The disorder to the finaneex was the operative cause of the French Revolution, by compelling the KING to assemble the States General ; stud Spain, over whelmed with debt, hits long been an object of cootempt to Europe. England continues to exist from the force of certain moral and physical. CallliVS, mid in tlinstquenee of her superior system of taxation. But if England had never yielded to tlie fatal fascination—if her Statesmen had not IJ:danced prehem ease 44:Hilt:it future greatness, her real wealth and power would be at the present day utmost inconceivable—wars would he less easily undertakes', and more reudily concluded, as the weight of the one, and the blessings of the other, would be 'store sensibly eijwrienced, and an inca pable Administration could not fly to foreign hosti lities us their only resource against domestic oppo sition—the Executive Power would ant possess such a peruicious influence as it derives at present from the managetnent of the National Debt, nor be thereby interested in continuing the distresses of the empires—commerce would not be restricted by injudicious imposts, nor consumption taxed in the midst of general plenty. In our present condition, peace brings us no advantage*, and instead of enabling the country to .ptsy higher taxes, it has rendered a tuuditulation in the Property Tat re ret sary. France is very differently situated, F.,t il-ty of peace itiereases her wealth, and dimislies her burdens; and while her bark is safely moored iu the haven of prosperity, our vessel, once proudly majestic, must still wander through dalgermis straits, deprived of rigging and compass, ready in deed with cannon at the port-holes, to employ them, but devoid of mariners capable ni directing her course, or working the helm withinw priety or judgment.

Wits there aay neeessity for the embal k ment of our troops tin ler such circumstances It has been attended, we understand, with a great loss in baggage and horses. This is certainly very hard upon the heroes who achieved the baffle of W.;- terloo, and is poorly compensated by the honuor of wearing tl:e name of I‘loterloo upon theircaps.— They have, in fact, sustained a twofold loss; for when the Duke of ‘VELLINGTON'S quarters were broken tip at Brussels, they lost all the baggage which they then possessed ; and by the unfortunate season chosen for their return home, the survivors have sustained a farther loss in baggage, 'thick they have since acquired.
