It will he highly important to the British pobli,: to learn what our Allies art? doing during the ce , ation of the clash of arms. The in-. tilligence from France is not without its accustomed interest. Paris Papers up to the 12th inst. reached town last night, by which we learn that BONAPARTR arrived at St. Cloud on the 9th. Ile lost not a day in holding a Council of Finance ; hut what was done on this extraordinary deliberation is yet to be learned. He has not, as yet, been accustenred to throw himself on the bounty or his people for money to carry on the war : that one sinew of it he has long made his public enemies and public friends supply. For men, indeed, he has all along drawn pretty copiously on his populous dominions. His visit to his capital may be occasioned, in part, by an affection to his EMPRESS (though we have no reason to ascribe the amorous disposition of MARC ANTONY to this once triumvir); but it is certain it is a journey of preparation towards new military measures; sinceamong tlre ftrstof his Im perial acts pet formed has been the prolongation of the Regency conferred on his Consort; and which was announced through a meeting of the Senate on the 9th. These Papers also contain two Bulletins of the situation of the French Armies, on the 3d and 7th of this month, for the particulars of which e refer our Readers to the accounts themselves...- I'lre chief information of consequence in these Re ports, is what is said with respect to the fortiaca ti us on the Lower Rhine, and the forte collecting and stationing there. There is a hint thrown out of imaginary weakness in the Upper Rhine, but the chief concern seems for the Loner Rhine. AlAc trotsALD is at Cologne, organisim.: au army of de fence; and BERTRAND, with 40,000 men, is making great exertions to form an intreuched camp before Cassel. 'fhe fortresses all along this ostensible river are said to be provisioning and preparing for defence. NOW is the time for the Sir FRANCIS D'IVERNOISES and the NEWEARS of the present hour, to figure away in their financial calculations and speculations with respect to the bankruptcy of the French Funds. The Fibmcm EMPEROR, for Emperor we must be forced to call him, till the French have deposed him, the Chief of France, however, will do to designate the man, that title being apparently more agreeable to oar tRINCE REGENT, who is him. self the acting Chief Magistrate of the Englisn people, so that there is itiiiient honour attached to that rank. The French Chief will indeed be put to his trump, not to lose the game for want of tricks. But that of seizing on the Banks of Paris for the necessary TI I E S CATJ . . supply on this urgent occasion, is the drat** crack-brained polisielau. He knows betterlistiVio commit such a violence.. We cannot say we aeteally know what lie will do to obtain the needful, but we hare really the knowledge of what has been proposed to him for obtain:erg a prolligibus WA df motley hr a wa y w hich would not have been contemplated a year ago. It is to dispose. of .precious objects in the National Museum to the amount of live hundred millions of litres to individuals, to whom the lots are to be assigned, hot not removed, fur a stipulated time, and on condition that the capital and a fixed in terest be paid together at an assigned period, they are , never to be taken from the place it, which they are now deposited. The French people are. likely -to esteem this species of pledge or power for their advances, better than any other which can be given them. French Exchequer Bills would not be found so nego ciable at the Bourse Imperial in Paris, as ours are at the Royal Exchange .in Cornhill. BONAPARTE will flutter his subjects again as to what he will do for them in the next effort or campaign, and they will, in all probability, put themselves to shifts to fall in with his desires and demands. No doubt our observant Ministers are on thelook out, to dis cover how far the enemy can go in this main work of preparation, .before they begin to act upon the moderate principle they have thought•it politic to set font h. Who but the most crednioos • end Wet,: perienced, would risk much on,the ground of their actions keeping pace with their professions ? If in deed any of their official agents were stationed at- Covent-garden Theatre, last night, they may think it proper (being, no doubt, sworn to fidelity) to represeut to their employers what a general plaudit followed the 'hare dramatic rehearsal of the author's sentiment,—" a General Peace is approaching ;" or words to that effect.— But, without being prophets or oracles, neither Vrrus's, nor a YATES'S, we may safely augur, that, our great Ministers (great bodies ,always m . tve slowly) will be too late on this grand crisis, as they have heretofore .been on many and repeated occa► sions of similar urgency and magnitude. If offers of Peace, in any manner quadrating with those moderate sentiments lately pronounced from the British throne and British Cabinet, were interposed between the ! dernands,great demands, uo doubt, of BONAPARTE Os the whole French people, and the answer of those hard pressed subjects thereon, the good effect would, no doubt, be immediately discerned in the backward ness of every part of the contributions in money, rtual lukewarmness in the general conscriptions for men!!! In the House of Lords a very interesting cowman. I sation took place last night, upon the subject of the: Insolvent Debtors' Bill, in conseiluence of a Petition being presented by Lord HOLLAND from the Debtors, in the Fleet Prison, praying relief. The Loan CHANCELLOR, Lord ELLIENDRHOUVII, and Lord SIDHOUTH replied to Lord HOLLAND, and pointed out the difficulty, if not impracticability, of carry. ing the Bill into . effect in its present shape, and another temporary Insolvent Act was mentioned as a substitute, until the necessary alterations could be made in the prior Act. Lord HOLLAND objected to this proposal on the ground of its being likely to de lay the final arrangement of the new Bid; and no• thing decisive took place. The Debtors confined in the different prisons throughout England are now so I numerous, and the situation of many of them so dis tressing, that it is highly expedient something should; be done forthwith for their relief. The unconstitutional and• foreboding transforma tions of the Militia force of the United Kingdom, i goes on as Lord CASTLEREAGH would have it. If I ghosts ever were to rise from the grave, the shade of Ld. TowNsuEND, and especially of the much honoured : in memory Sir GEORGE SAVII.LE would re-appear.-- The Militia is, indeed, new moulded into a mongrel kind of force. It was ordained to be a check upon standing armies, in other words upon the Caowx itself. Now it is to be commanded by the Crown !!! i Oh, Heavens ! whither is the spirit of the British pa• triot fled ? Mr. WHITBREAD seems to stand almost I alone in the pass. The bulwark is nearly down. He means, however, to move his qualifying Amendment, i a highly proper one it is, on the Motion for receiving the Report on this Bill, which is, unquestionably, as he designated• it, a -measure highly objectionable or constitutional grounds. The Cabinet Ministers met yesterday at the Fo reign Office. Yesterday the SPANISH AMBASSADOR transacted bu.iness at the Foreign Office. The Prince of ORANGE has frequent interviews with Lord CASTLEREAGH, and it is probable that the Hereditary Prince will be spent for from Lord WEL LINGTON'S Army. Lord LOWTHER is to be the new Lord of the Tree miry, in the room of Mr. ROBINSON. He is to stand for Westmorland; and Mr. WALLACE, as the FAA India Directors will not have him, is to be brought in for Cockermouth. Wednesday morning Mr. Avis, the King's Ms. senger, was sent off with dispat"hes to the North. Mr. AYE, the King's Messenger, was sent off to the same part on Friday night. We are happy to learn that the Marquis of TA- visroca recovering from the effects of the accident he met with, a short time ago while hooting. A decree of 130 N.
