It isa happiness to helonz to a people that hard one general interest. It is . , indeed, no longer the business of :he people to penetrate into the secret and compli cated interest: of the two cabinets of St. James's and Bt. Cloud. and to decide resp:•Ring them, in whit degree the prosperity of France, and that of man kind, can exist toi,ether ; or whether it is necessary that Britain slinuld poswss the supreme dominion of the sea, and Fiance of the laud. like Neptune and Rhea? The s subjelts on which the French people row pride themselves, are their great glory, thcir ti y, their patriuti , m, and their national antipa thy ; and at least three of thee qsalities constitrte, so uade..iably, tad happine-.1 of the French, as to cause them to forget all their grievances. The only cause of complaint among is the CeBs3• 60:1 of their maritime commerce. I have constantly otserved, that whenever a new war broke out, the two revolutionary parties rejoiced in the hop* of its unfortunate issue ; the repahli- cant erunted on the overthrow of some throne, the royalists on its consolidation, till the year I;9i ; and after I 7U3, on the restoration of the Bouthons. But now the case is aimed. Of the name of Bo naparte, optnians the most extravagant are formed, srd intox.cated aids the extraordinary glory ac vited t , y the army, they lose sight of the mast ar dent. desi,as of their hearts. He. who, eall ye r' az). wa. ),..ang, and now hes a wife, altagt):,o4 .. i iiiui: i:4N•• ems, thinks neither of Tarquin nor of Brutus, nei ther of Brutes nor of Czsar. The poor mechanic, who, at the time of the assignats, was a rich shoe maker, a cabinet-maker employed day and night, is now too much in array with his last and with his plane; he is nue/ too fai tgmoved from the opu ' fence of the silver age, and the superabundance of that of paper, to recollat otherwise than as a dream, times when he could Contribute with a word to the decision of the question, whether Custine, Hon e:lard, and Beauharnois, should ascend the s:af• fold The printer, nhc; once had ten thousand nib se:Totes to his newspaper, was implicated in ten dif ferent conspiracies', and is now as poor as when he produced his first diurnal print, is now too busily engaged in the commendable oectiprien of piracy . the stockholder, who cursed the funds, because they fell ten livres in the hundred, is now more tranquil, because, as long as he is satisfied with his dividend, it is duly paid on the appointed day; nay, if he wishes to receive it beforehand, he may du so (or a !rely moderate discount; or should he choose to convert it into capital, a thousand shares, which once produced scarcely two thousand francs, now yield fifteen thousand: the ei•devinst jacuhins, if they were men of good characters, have, at least, the coesolation to belong to one or other of the lodges of freemesons, which are at present in high repute; and those who (illy distinguished themselves as bawlcrs, informers, or plunderers, now profit, in the profoundest silence, of the general amnesty, which is so intimately conneEtcd with the system of the present government. The very nobleman, though he may not have recovered all his privileges, yet morally at least en joys various advantages ; and with res.sea to the clergy, inaliallifir so dangn'ollll and et scontented, the means of reconciling the earthly as well as heavenly claims of the altar wide:the rights of the crown, are no longer a secret. Thins it has come to this point, that the porter and di* marquis, the philanthrope and the ecclesiastic, the fish-woman and tae lady of the old court, the petty shopkeeper and the.pos sessor of million/i the apprentice and the stock holder, all non Class themselves with the people.-- They all now speak of their army and th,ir Empe ror. They have all forgotten "past discord, and now belong again to the great mass. Without any reference to the fl ittrishiPg state of agriculture in France. the comparative cheapness of individual essential necessaries of life, and to the invariable removal of the theatre of war from its frontiers, tile French are a happy people. Their mode of expressing the sensation of their happiaess is such as might be expeCted trurn a people whose national manners are pore and unmixed. During the revolution, females were seen to take part in many atrocities; and yet it was impossible to make any other observation on the subjeCt, than, how easily thi; fickle, hasty people, can be drawn away from the most charafteristic part of is usual disposition, namely, geod-nature, when resided by villainous seducers. These who see our women now that they arc left to their own feelings and temper, can alone form a just opinion concerning them. Whether Europe will at length find a middle way to deliverance, amid the cot-int:l between the moon. poly of England and the warlike system of France ; whether the chastisement of the Northern enemies of France be a jest revenge. or at least a measure of political necessity; these f are suhj lets that occupy the thnaghts neither of the one sex nor of the other. The patience and resigaation with which they submitted to the system of coma iption, now so ge neral in Europe, is remarked not only as a neces s ivy virtue, bat as a genuine trait of charaeler in the French people. The assembling. dividing, marching, and e:•rcising of the French conscripts, was one of the most remarkable popular spec tacles. In this and in some other traits of the rratiogal charaEkr, is perhaps comprehended the first and most important germ of that spirit of the French army, in consequence of which nei ther European taffies. nor well-merited renown, nor valoer, nor even superiority of power, have been able to rescue the armies opposed to them : and this affords me an opportunity of ending this merely outlined-pi Lure with the same trait with which I began it. livery thing now tends to prove to foreign nations, that to p independence, it is not sufficient to be merely a n.ttion. Every thing, and especially the genius of the Sovereign, the unity of the governm, nt, the unison of senti ments among the various classes of a people, the general snsc:ptibility of the juvenile mind, the in variahle participation of individuals as well as of the different classes, the constant infitience of the fair an, equality of edu t eatina. nay, even perhaps, some national talents, Meet co-operate to create a people, and out of a poOle an army. Germany, in the thirty years war, uus not ono people, a people animated by one sad the same spirit, and this led to the overthrow of its constitution, one hundred and filly years afterwards. : " . • THE BRITISH PRESS, LONDON, TUESDAY, Novemsta 3. His MAIM T'S ship Narcirras is arrived in the Channel, with a AL'et under convoy, front Oporto, which place they left on the 15th ult. and have on boatel most of the English Faflory ; bring warned by the Pt ince Regent to leave the country, in con sequence of French troops being hourly expeaed to march into Portugal.—The account in the Paris Papers, of the IGAI, stating that the Prince Regent had sailed for the Brazils, thus proves, as we con ie:limed, to have been without foundation. Had the Rost. Faulty sailed for • the Bray's, on the 7th or S,h, it must have been known at Oporto by the Mr. WARNE, the Consul, is said to be on board the fleet. The Lavinia frigate remained at Oporto to con voy tl,e remaining fleet, which are to bring the Ge,ltlemen and the remaining property. The fleet, which is expeaed this day, brings 1,400 pipes of wine. A private letter, from Dublin, says, " In conse quence of Mr. GITFARD'S motion in the Common Council, the Loco Ma voa, at the requisition of the Corporation, waited on the Duke of Ricer mown, to request the 4th of November, (liiug WILLIAM'S Birth-day ), misht be celebrated in the same man ner it usually had been. previous to the arrival of the Duke of BEDFORD. His Grace lamented his inabihty to comply with the request of the Cor poration, so far as regarded the procession round the statue. As teat had been discontinued by his pr,d mbar, under an idea that it promoted party, he dad not think it prudent to revive It. His Grace. however, condescendingly added, he would have the honour of entertaining the city at dinner on that day.'"—This is the true, liberal, and enlightened policy—the or.ly policy by which Ireland can ever become a safe and happy country. Those mew who would inn ,me racy spirit, and throw the torch of discord among the peocic of that island, thus re buked. may now to dinner at the Castle of Dublin, on the 4th of November, with what apire:ite they may. _ Thursday morning the LORD PROVOST of Edin burgh received, by a King's Messenger, a letter from the Secretary of State, informing, that His Manses , had given perm;ssion to the Count de Luxe, his family, and suite, to occupy the apaitik menu in Holyrood-house, which were formerly in habited by His Royal Highness Mcnstevs, and d-siring his Lordship to cause the necessary arrange ments to be made. 'Hie aukward reception of the Count Us Lis.xs, the travelling title of Louis XVIII. atYarmouth, is thus satisfattorily explained : There was no preparation made for him there, he- CAsL! he was not expated at that port. The Col lector of the Customs was taken by surprise, and ebliged to send off for instruCtions. His MAJISTY had not landed on Sunday forenoon; but Mr. Ross, Private Secretary to Mr. CAl's' No, left town, on Sunday, for Yarmouth, and it is probable that His MAJeSTY was permioed to land immediately upon the arrival of Mr. Russ. he public will learn with surprise, that in the communication made by His MAJESTY, since his arrival at Yar mouth, he has distinctly stated to our Court, that he comes not here, as Ministers presumed, to seek an asylum, but for nary poldiral parfrpes ; that he has the fullest assurances from the Emperor Autisse.. DER, of his firm and constant protetlion ; and that, as evidence of his entire confidence in the word and honour of that magnanimous Persica, the Duchess of Arroow. a me, the daughter of the unfortunate Lours the XVlth, and the other females of the Bouasos family, remain b.ihind at Mittau. his MAJUTY never having intimated, until within a few days, his intention to come to England, or the °Ned of his visit, his unespeded arrival at Yarmouth, and his avowed purpose. have not a nide ensbarrasred Ministers. as they have had no opportunity of judging whether his object would be most i.kely to be effeeled by his continued residence at Nlittau, or his presence here; or, in fad, whe ther it was such as should meet with their approba tion. Is Louis the XVIIItts, despairing of his cause, ready to make terms with Bon AAAAAA ? We cannot think that he is ; or, if his spirit were broken down to such a measure, that it would le necessary to make a journey to England. We must, therefore, presume, that he comes to engage Erg. land in some new plan for the assertion of his claims to the Throne of France. Looking at Con tinental Europe, at the foot of Bon CPA arz—look ing at the state of the public mind in France, as disclosed in a private letter, given in our preceding columns—looking at a treaty executed, and a nego- ciation beaus with France, in which England passed by those claims, and acknowledged the usurper of the throne of the BosrasoNs, we do think, that if ever • 4 14 . there was a moment anfavouriki e to the of thew claims, it is the present one ; e n d " totally at a loss to conceive where the elements e to constitute a force to maintain them. If then be his object, we do not hesitate to say, th at Count Da LILL' has been ill advised; bat by we do not pretend to say. We hope it wiii not av r that the disposition and feeling of the Govertur and the people of this nation have been mil ed to this Illustrious Exile, by persons in this who profess themselves unalterably attached to Family, and that they have not hoisted false car to decoy him to the British shores. A squadron, consisting of the Cowl's:. B.ire Mar'lorsugh, Alizabeth, and lecial Gene. of line, is formed at Plymouth, destined. accordin to report, for Lisbon, to escort the Royal Find' to the Brazils, or in case of their refusal, to tale possession of the Portugueze ships io the Tag u lhe squadron is eiauAlled for oirs months, a will be commanded by Admiral Ducawrave. cr according to other accounts, by Sir Joan B. W AR sac The latter was Lately appointed to suer Admiral BcattiLey on the Hahn... station. A Danish East.lndiaman, sail to be worth a least one hundred thousand pounds, was carried into Fowey. on Wednesday last; a prize to two privateers of that port. Tuesday morning the Census frigate, Captain HRYWOOD, from the Baltic, arrived at Portsmouth, and at eight a. is. Admiral : 4 'IIIIIIOP/A division were heaving in sight of that port, with the cc.. tared Danes. The Pomace. and two other of the B.itish ships, as we stated in a former Paper, will be immediately prepated fur service. Yesterday the new Loan hlAroa proceeded in au elegant new private carriage limn Guild's.% pre. ceded by the City Officers. and attended by several Aldermen and the Sheriffs, to be iutroduced to the LORD CHANCELLOR.

Gowns, instead of chewing any intention to worn to this country. is furnishing hi► house, and aplwars likeh t remain upon a very arni:able footing with the Russian Go.. vet nment. Upwards of 10,000 of the troops just returned from the Baltic, have been landed at Yaimouth. and are gone to Woo, b ridge barracks. Some transports, with part of the Ist divisian. consisting of the 88th and 95th regiments, who were made prisoners At Buenos Ay re; have put into Portsmouth. The whole of Vie Ist divisioa of this army may be daily looked for. His Excellency General WIIIT CI. , `CIC, it is said, will nut be in this country before Christmas: having determined, along wid: General Gowan, to make some definitive ar rangements with the Spanish Government in South America, regarding the 71st regiment, who are de tained in the interior of the country.

Oa Friday last, the following Noblemen anti G.ntlemen were elated to fill the respelive . rate offices of Chester for the ensuing year:—May. or. the Right H.,n.

By the last observation, it appears, that the parabolic line of motion it now adopts, presents it in its aphelian, and consequently it will increase in magnitude to the inhabitants of the earth for a short time, as it will also increase in splendou., en. leu its course be more eccentric than the best calm. lations hitherto make it. At present it is barely visible to the naked eye, but by the aid of tele scopes it is seen very distinEtly. The position in which to find it, is in the direhion of West and by North, a little above the Horizon, from a quarter past seven till half past nine. Last afternoon, as Mr. D'Eovisaa, the Matt sjst of the Opera House, was giving instrudions to die Painters, who are decorating the ceiling of the Theatre, a scaffold pole suddenly broke. and one of .the Painters fell headlong into the Pi;; most miraculously not a bone was broken, but be was very much bruised. Surgical advice was immedi ately procured, and the man is in a fair way of doing well. Mr. SOTHIBY, an eminent berekseller, of York. street, Covent• Garden, died on Sur d ty. The periot, sir nnzinuily looked to by adventure" of spirited enterprise, is new arrived. The Fear& Day's Drawing, of the present Lottery Scheme, is passed. The increased chances for obtaining the immense Prize of 41,0u01. to which the first drawn. on Friday next, is entitled, are too obvious to re- . quire any argument to induce the purchase o f such Tickets and Shares, as now remain in the Lot• ttry market.
