AVE have this morning received French Papers to the 21st instant, Dutch to the 2.lth, and Ger man to the 20th. In a subsequent column we give the principal articles from these Papers ; and they will be found very interesting.—There is a great variety of intelligence in these Papers, which we have no room for. The following, however, in a summary of all that is material.—Letters from Constantinople mention the desertion of part of the troops coming from Asia, which .has greatly embarrassed the Grand Vizier. There is an extreme scarcity at Constantinople; discontent is at its height ; and events arc expected similar to those which have desolated Constantinople fur these two years past. The Russians arc said not to be sufficiently nu merous to besiege at once the two great fortresses which atop their progress on the banks of the Danube, and find an army of observation to cover those sieges : they in consequence wait for consi &ratite reinforcements from the interior of the empire. It is thought that the grand Duke CON IIVANLISE will take the command in chief. Let t • from S'emlin 'nominee that the Russians have c ;dem ill the blockade of Widdin. The Turks arc put themselves in motion to relieve the place. An article from Italy, dated 6th June, says,• that his Holiness Pope Plus the Vllth, at tic in tercession of a certain great Court, is to be in. slemtlifiettfor the loss of his dominions. The King of WESTPHALIA has ordered a moon pent to be erected, at the expense of the State, to the memory of the celebrated historiographer, JOUN VAX MULLER. Two divisions of the 13avariaa army will shortly march for Spain. All culuai4l produce is sequestratedin tlia island of an.yea l and in Putnerauia. AVE hare already stated that the report of such a change la the policy of the Cabinet of Peters. burgh, as was likely to lead to . a reconciliation with this country, dial nut rest upon authority efficient to give it credit, and wo have now to add ) that the letters received yesterday prow it.to Marc had no foundation in fru - ill. The rtgula. Cons against the importation of British merchan. dice are more rigidly .eliforceti than ever in the Russian ports. The occupation of Portugal by our troops 'has also been made the grouud of the following Ukase for restricting .the Purlujipso trade :-- , , IMPERIAL UK iSP..

It is observed, that were ho mctell is the situation of $ deserter, or seeking, as !• /11!kii Alien, the protection of the BMA G q ku would come othcially under .'t cogniaanie of the Secretary of State fur the Home Department. Bet whatever may have been the object of his escape, the statements in the French Papers seem , to leave it in still greater obscurity...than that in which it was before involved. I CVs are happy its announcing that the exchange of Prisoners between this Country and France is still going actively ou. Sir GRENVILLK Tiotrie and Family, with several others, were on Friday last lauded at Dover, from on board a neutral, bound front Havre de Grace to London, with corn. IT will be seen by an article in the French Pa.. 'tiers, that DENMARK is anticipated as the new heir to the Crown of SWEDEN. No dOilht, this would greatly forward the views of FRANCE against this country ; and we should nut wonder to sec the event happen - according to the prediction. WE this day insert, from an American Paper, an interesting article relative to the proceedings in - the Viceregal Government of Mexico, on the Americans refusing to receive an Ambassador in the mime of Fiatoi NAND VII. Tut proceedings of the Home Secretary upon 'an application from Lord IIoLLANn, a Peer and Privy Counsellor, to know whet he might, at a private Levee, be permitted to present a Petition to his MAJESTY from the town of Nottingham, are singular. Mr. RYDER states, ale since public• Le vees had been discontinued, " no persOn had been ad. milted to• private Levees for the purpose of re. smiting a Petition or Address." Now, without meaning to dispute about words, we ask whether it was not at a private Leve.e. that Lord CHATHAM (a Peer and Privy Counsellor likewise)• presented his Address or Statement respecting the Widelie ren Expedition ?—and whether, if he had requested of his brother Ministers leave to present such Addros4; they would have " precluded him previous intimation from delivering either his own .; Address, or that grassy legal body of his 314/sts- TIOS subjects, taro Isis own hands We have already informed our Readers that a Portrait of Sir Plasma BURDETT was painted by Mr. NORTHEOTE, while Sir FRANCIS WaS in the Tower, and that It is engraving by Mr.: SUARP. Theie is ao doubt the Portrait, will be fusel" engraved, for Mr. Sake, has not an equal,l in !cis art, in Europe,. But am 'Marl 10, , sity few words of the P.&iuting itself, as • dot ; leave looked at it with mach attentiow, end es. the ebbs coin, the expressing of oar opinion fe - blque to Mr. Notcrucurs, and believe it , . *ill. bar gratifying to mutt of our Road4se. 11iW .1 ppodections of taste and genius, theeta l lee'‘emt,. may be celled the accidents of the"liiif f .. Men of high talents frequently rise abov r tileat. selves, and sometimes fall below that stink/IL In any particular instance, therefore, whore* in. teresting object is to be attained, it is a net r# et anxiety—that the artist may be visited, with au unusually fortunate moment, and that he may rise even above the happiest of his former efforts.. This has been the case with Mr. NORTHCOTE'S portrait of Sir FRANCIS 1317RDETT. NU friend' to the art, and no admirer of Sir Fnazicts, can wish for a finer picture. Of the former portraitatif the Baronet, there was but one that caught awy. thing of the real chancier of hits features ; and that was inadequate in expression. Some of those portraits were actually a libel on Sir Faasets, arid ought to have been burnt as soon as paintiel. A happy effort was, therefore, more wanting in this case then in any other, of portraits of emi nent men, and now the public will be gratified with the very wish they had long formed. Mr. Nonvntove's portrait of Sir FRANCIS is a half. length. The Baronet is represented as standing, with his hands, one above the other, testing on a large book, placed upright on the table. tic is in the act of contemplation, with his eyes elevated, which is a natural expression of thought, employed on some great object. The attitude _of the body As ,uncomatutilygarauf ; and, iu. tijed, is a faithful picture of the Baronet's man. ncr. There is no finding words, to express the correctness and vigour of the painting in the head and features. It is common-place to say so, but the words expre.s the truth of the matter—. the picture is life itself. The firmness and ele vation of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT'S character, his amenity, are tepidly on the canvass.— , lie is represented hi a placid tone of contenepla. tion, and there is a great charm in the rest, the sweetness of the picture. But we have still to name the greatest merit of this very fine portrait— Mr. Noterneore has most fortunately transmitted to his (MUCUS, that transparent expression of the pasiin:r thought, w hie!' soentineutlyilist inguishes Sir F. Bun ne^n's features and countenance, and which, with his feeling and forcible mind ‘ Enke his pie. Sure one of thermal latenottfin4sl o . ,e‘ 'be con. ecived.

In the Parliament Journal, December 11, 1667, there is an entry of sertain charges against Chief Justhe KEELING, one of which is, that is. the place of Jetlicatare'the Lord Chief Justice hash madervaluctl, vilified, and condemned Magna Churta, the great preserver of our lives, freedom, and prueerty. • It appears from as account of the trial of Pe to and MEAD, that his Lordship had said that Magna Charm was no better than Magma F—a.
