The Awake of Bost taught us to a rs& that no aims that could enter into the heart of a Seed to conceive, was too horrible to blunt his purpose, at rend is the way of his ambition for a moment. Through all his progress, the affeaa eine of philosophy, and a love for the arts and sauces. have been vainly solicited to conceal the suguinary robber, and cowardly assassin. En coward by the prosperous issues of his gutty count, he has sought to reverse the moral system, and is glory in crime. He would throw aside his conscience with his puce; and, as a true disci ple of the predestioarian doarine, persuade him self that he is destined by Providence to chastise the world for its sins. Solacing himstif with this piens tentinseat, be went to sleep in the Palace of Cleed on that horrid night when he planned the emordly midnight murder of the Duke of Bea man, in the wood of Vincennes. But what depo pulated countries, plundered nations, and sacrificed iermies, ware unable to effea, that murder has been able to achieve. Conquered countries have dawn BONAPAIITZ a treacherous, ferocious, and successful General. The murder of the Duke of ENGIIIIN has vegetal hint lower than the most despicable robber. It is said of the grand tempter to all wickrd aser, that in the end, he leaves his votaries in the heckled destroys them by the very means which had previously proved the instruments of their prosperity. The neenkr of the Duke of tesnisx a2prars to have brought Bostera ars to that dreadful crisis. Blase that horrid event, we have seen him assume the Me d Eflfelloit of the Femme ; bat his me dial! bee inhibited the We of a trembling fugitive brim the aern of justice. Instead of the principal pitionms in processions, and public theses at Paris, is whkb heisted so delight, the Paris Prints repre sent him as a thief in the night; as the pestilence that walkah in darkness. We arc told, that last sight he was at Ambleteuse, this night he will be at Boulogne, and to-morrow at Calais; but nothing more about him. Alarmed at the sensation which his murder of the Duke of Esteems has excited, at this hue ad cry of justice, which humanity bas every where raised at his heels, doubt and fear hare at length wised upon his guilty heart ; hut still steadfast to Iris purpose, he has only thought lit to change the means of carrying it into execution. Barefaced, open, and avowed murder, be finds will not do so well as his old praaice of secret poi son, and clandestine assassination. He has not sent a bead of assassins to Warsaw, to carry off Louis the XVI Ilth, and moder him in a ditch, in the wood of Vincennes ; but, pursuing a system more congenial to his cowardly bran, and Italian vices, this poisoner of Jaffa has reverted to his old trade. and purchased executioners to poison the last of the Botoutotis. The enormity of the crime may stagger the belief of our readers, but we pledge ourselves to the authenticity of the following story :—A poor Frenchman has lived for several years at Warsaw, where he supported a mi serable existence by keeping a billiard-table. About eight months ago, two of his countrymen, who pre tended to be travelling for their pleasure, arrived there, and visited his place. They lived very ex pensively, and &fleeted to pity his humble fortune. In the middle of the last month they invited him to dinner in the country, and, after drinking freely, they informed hint, that, if he were not wedded to wretchedness, they would soon procure him an op portunity to mach himself, and enable him to pass the rest of his life in affluence. Considering him a man discontented with his humble lot, and ready to catch at any chance that promis- • ed better, they unfolded to him the secret which was to make his fortune : w You are well ac quainted." said they. „ with the cook of Louis the XVI llth. Upon your next visit to him, about the hour when he is preparing dinner. throw two car rots which we will give you into the kettle in w',ich the soup is boiled for the Pa ET INDSR% table, If he shall die in a given time after, you shall r ceive 400 louis d'ors; but should his wife, with the Duke .i..d Duchess of Arenoutesse, share his fate, 1,200 louis d'ors shall be paid to you by Monsieur Bov k 11, Com mercial Commissary to the EA/ 1.1011 of the French in this city. Do not apprehend any punishment from the success of the attempt. Yon reside in a country, the Sovereign of which is the steady and sincere friond of Nepotism the First, and whose Ministers am as much attached to France as to their own country. As to remorse of conscience, the fortune that has seared Box &&&&&& upon the Throne of France, will support him there, and show that he deserves it, and providence and for tune are the sane. The Boos sox race are proscribed by destiny. and therefore, in dispatching them. you serve the Divinity. You might, perhaps. apprehend the vengeance of other Bourbons, who reside in England, but you ought to know that their destroyers follow them as their shades ; and, although they are still among the living, the grave is dug ready to swallow its vietim, and they shalt only live to see the day of BON AAAAA es coronation. This is the time appointed by the Eternal for an universal change of dynasties over the world; led, Wart see years, not a Prince wM reign who. tot tea years befog, *as 1.4 unnoticed ntjea.

Do sot think." said they. w that what we promise are the sudden and insignificant sentiments of men itti posed upon, or impostors themselves. We pre 'Ambers of Rol AAAAA es Secret Police, wb&se influence extends to all countries, to all Inks, who distribute indemnities among the Genitalia, who prepared the death of the Duke of Eva:syn, the disgrace of DItAICC, and the elevation bf a Partname Prince to the throne of' Etraria.* !Atha coarse of an entertainment, which lasted from 3 o'clock until 9, these and other such sentiments were infused into his mind; and witis a vie* to complete by terror what temptation might leave un.fiuisbed, they pi oduced pistols, daggers, and poison, intimating at the same time, that not only the impeded traitor, but the man who proved luke warm in the cause of the Emperor of the Fs toot', should certa:nly perish. Their unfortunate ries: assented to every thing they said, as well from polity as from necessity. Upon their return to Warsaw, the two assassins bad a dispute about M. Boy tes punetuality in paying services per formed for Box AAAAA I j and one of them even hinted. that he had not bee, paid what was to him for dispatching TOVMAIRT L'Oev side the S e, although nearly two years bad elapsed ' the bts inns was done. The other, however, 1 dearoured to make his mind easy upon that subjelh assuring him, that BoM AAAAA a was equally libeial and just, and that he should be paid the at farthing. During this conversation, they were r intoxicated, and having arrived at the city, parted from their guest, having previously seven the next morning for a meeting. H tended at the appointed hour, when they p him with two carrots, into the hearts of which, terse strong poison bad been insinuated, along with4oo louis d'ors, for which they took his receipt, ing besides a positive promise of secresy andl ) 4. Being a man of a naturally good disposition, and loyal principles, he went immediately to the Castle where Louis XVIII. resisled, and demanded to speak with M. Ds B.ootv T. formerly a superior officer in t'.e Xing's verde de corps, to whom he discovered the whole plot. M. Ds BON•Ir T com municated it to his Sovereign, who sent four other noblemen of hic council or suite, to the Direaor of the Police, desiring him to arrest the crimiaals, and tab the declaration of the informer. After some he. sitation, he told the party that this affair belonged not to him, but to the President of the Criminal Justice, who, in his turn, was applied to, but re fused to notice it, alleging, that it belonged to the Police department. The King of PRUSSIA'S Gover nor was then waited on, but he, in his turn, de clined to have any thing to do with it, until he had orders from his Court. Louis XVIII. then con ♦ened all his loyal subjeas in a Council of State, a proses-verbal was written of every thing stated above, signed by five of His Majesty's principal attend ants, and copies of it were sent to all the legitimate Sovereigns in Europe. An extraordinary courier was dispatched to Berlin, with a copy and letter from Louts XVlllth to the King of PRUSSIA, complain ing not only of the violation of the laws of hospita lity, but of those of humanity ; and reminding the PaussrAN MONARCH, that he was a Sovereign upon the Throne of his ancestors, when the feroci ous Bort•P ARTZ was yet a wandering adventure in Egypt, poisoning the French soldier.. as he had then attempted to poison him. His Most CHRISTIAN MAJESTY intended to have left Warsaw on the 25th ult. but this scandalous affair and some other circumstances prevented it. having informed the Prussian Commander of the Jay of the departure, His MAJESTY was told, that it would be more agreeable to his Master, if the Count de LILLE (Louis XVIII.) would wait some days until farther instructions could be obtained from Berlin." The King of Fiance then asked, jibe had orders to prevent his departure, and demanded to see them, adding, that if none were produced, His MAJESTY was determined to quit that city immedi ately, and nothing but open force should prevent him from doing so. A bow was the only answer of the Prussian Commander. and Louis XVIII. left War saw on the 50:h of last month, at seven o'clock is the morning, accompanied by his Quer.x, by the Duke and Duchess of Awooutass c, and all per sons attached to him, with the exception of Count Da La CHAPELLE, His Majesty's Minister of the War Department, who remains behind until the answer of the King of Paula'• is obtained, and it is known. whether these poisoners, members of BONAPARTE', secret police, who hitherto, under the protection of his Commercial Commissary Bov ea, continue at large. and ate in his house, are to enjoy that impu nity which their employer, Bo , enjoys himself, and promises his accomplices. His Most Cnaorrisis MAJESTY is gone no fiffeilif titan Grodno, where a Russian Courier is expelled, whose arrival will fix his future place of residence. The Egyptian** frigate has arrived at Portsmouth from Bt. Helena, which place she left about the avid& of June. It was supposed that she had re mained there to convoy home the Bengal ships. Her arrival without them has accordingly produced some disappointment. Saturday asormag. soon after eight o'clock, His hi AJLITT left Windsor for London: on his way, he stopped at Kew near four hours, and arrived in London about half past one. In a short time after, His MAJES ry gave an au dience to Lord Hartle ts t, ItY. At half-past two His %l A v held a Privy Coun cil, which was attended by the LORD CHANCELLOR, Earl Camors., Viscount CAST LER EA:.;fl, Lords Haaaowav, H kWKESIVRV, ARDLN, MU! GRAVE, and L.

It is computed that about 35 second battalions will be immediately attached to the dif ferent Regiments, and which. of er•ur.e, will occa sion a very great promo:ion in the army. In addition to the inforrna:ion which we com municated of a i rlasation of the blockade of the Elbe, in favour af the City of Harnburgh, we have to arnounce that His Ma:sst r's Government have agreed to extend the same indulger.ce to the Ciiv of Bremen, and to the Danish ships from Gluck gads, concerned in the whale fishery.
