The important but long•expectcd intelligence of the demi , e of Loris XVIII. was yesterday received b.: Ex press from Paris. Exhausted by the gradual decay of nature, it appears that this mild and amiable Prince ex pired serenely, amidst the unfeigned regret cf his family, and we bare no doubt to the deep concern of the great 'mass of hic, subjects. The theatres were closed, and every respectful mark of public grief was manifested with be coming loyalty. Now that Loess is numbered with the dead, according to the usual injustice of mankind towards eminent persons, reluctant homage will be rendered to his virtues. In private life he was kind, cheerful, affable, and beneficent. Ile was well versed in classical literature, and his conversation, even under the heaviest and latest pressure of his bodily afflictions, was gay, animated, and agreeable. No man ever watched the approach of death with more fortitude, or resigned himself to it with more apparent consciousness that he had well performed his part on this sublunary stage. During his last illness, which be knew would terminate fatally, he betrayed no appre hension:: of the awful moment which was to separate him from the world. He contemplated the solemn re; re with those profound sentiments of religious devotion which he had always cherished, but without at any time suffering them to degenerate into superstition. More than once, when his immediate attendants had mis taken the fits of lethargy into which he used to sink, fur a cessation of the functions of life, the recovered Monarch has amused himself, and astonished them, by suddenly opening his eyes and laughing at their alarms. 'fleet was an entire absence of all that peevish impatience *Lich usually makes the pillow of sickness as painful to the attendants as to the sufferer himself. Levis ;lied as he bail lived—in pious and tranquil confidence in thegoodm ss of his Creator. Passing from his private character, about which there can be no dispute, to his political conduct, we shill, we think, not miscalculate, if we reckon on obtain ing, in favour of the late King of FRA NC E, the suffrages of all those who have attentively observed his course, and considered the difficulties by which he has been surrounded. Without going into an historical analysis of his life, we may refer to his temperate proceedings during the period ion, and to the wise and unfortunate brother, as ; political views. and the ruts XVI. fell the victim i and the intrigues of danger threatened them. de FROViNCE, but ac the French Court, u ;he the Revolui next brother of the reigning Sovereio, simply styled Mot:sir ua, adhered to the fortunes of his•brother, - until he was nearly entrapped in the atrocious plot for the extermination of the House of Bourbon, which was afterwards canicd into effect against Louis XVI., his Queen, his Sister, and his Son ; not to mention his abandoned relative, who, notwithstanding his nickname of EG• LITE, was doomed to expiate with his blood the crime of his descent from the illustrious line which he had in vain dishonoured, and the last heir of which he had, in violation of the tics of nature, assisted to send to the scaffold! The conduct of Louts XVIII. during the criti cal period to which we allude, was firm, liberal, and con sistent. While he strenuously maintained the propriety of leaving the just rights and necessary prerogatives of - the Crown untouched, he avowed himself favourable to an ex tension of the power of the States-General, suitable to the spirit of the times and the wants of the people. The extreme parties, however, who were each anxious to decide the question by force, rendered abortive the conci liatory course pursued by Moxsteus and his friends. Violence was called in aid of the revolution. The reign of terror ensued, and molten:time was declared an offence punishable with death. The foundations of society were uprooted, and the noble and the wealthy Were proscribed and murdered. The profligate democracy of France was ' at length, according to the eternal law of revolutions, suc ceeded by a military despotism. The Usurper, desirous to strengthen and sanctify his title by procuring the abdica tion of Louts XVIII., who was then living in retirement at Warsaw, met with a signal repulse from the KING, on an overture made to him for the renunciation of his regal rights. The undeviating firmness of Loos's character was strikingly displayed in that memorable transaction. By all Europe, at that time, the restoration of the Bourbons was considered as almost hopeless; but the sense of dignity. which belonged to the KING forbade him to barter away the honours of his house. In 1814 Louts ascended the throne of his ancestors. A veil of oblivion was thtown over all the deeds of the Revolution, and a coustitu tional charter granted to the French people. For the first time in the history of the world, a restored Mo narch was seen to place himself in his scat, as if he had returned from a tour of pleasure. Unmixed joy welcomed him to his capital. No punishment followed the resumption of authority by the successor of two Kings, his nearest relatives, who had perished in the hands of the revolutionists. A daring enterprise drove the Boutzaoss again from their country. They re-entered it at the bead of 200,000 foreign soldiers. The military ad herents of the Chief who bad ruled France for twelve years were destroyed, and Louts XVIII. was invested with full sovereignty. Of all those who must, as men, have been deeply obnoxious to him, only the regicides who had taken part in the last rebellion were punished by ex patriation. A few suffered the highest penalties of the law, but most were again generously forgiven. We dwell with peculiar pleasure on the clemency which distinguished the departed Monarch, as that essential feature which shone the brightest among his virtues, which most became his ex alted station, but which, nevertheless, to most men in his situation, and with his memory, it would have been, of all others, the most difficult to exercise. We do not seek to palliate the evil acts which must be charged to Lou ts'a Government, and especially the invasion of Spain ; but justice requires that we should look at the position in which be stood with regard to all the parties. He must have had a bitter abhorrence of revolutions ; and bound up as be was with the Holy Alliance, and committed by the rashness of CHATFAL'IRIAND, it was, perhaps, impossible for him altogether to avoid it. The peremptory refusal of the Spanish Cones to listen to any terms, and to avail them selves of the mediation of the British Government, also precipitated the war. That Louts was sincerely desirous to govern France by the mildest measures, and forward the perfection of her Constitutional Institutions, was proved by his attachment to the administration of llt CASE. If at last the KING was overbotne by the com bined forces of the extreme parties, and threw himself into the arms of his old Royalist friends, who had shared his exile and partaken of all the vicissitudes of his fortune, can we feel surprised, or ought the French Liberals to complain, because their success against Ds CAZE drove the K leo to call around him Ministers less likely to ex pose themselves to the power of public opinion ? It was not in human nature that Louts should choose his Mi nisters among the friends of the Regicides. All those who enjoyed his esteem and affection were strongly adverse to the liberality of his political conduct. Ho had, indeed, , great and conflicting difficulties to obviate; and a calm and dispassionate review of his reign will show that he knew as well as soy man how to pass through the quick sands of politics, and discharge the important duties of his station, with a greater regard to the welfare of his sub jects than upon the whole generally characterises the public career of sovereigns. The Count WART ots, who has suc ceeded his brother as Cit riots X., enters upon his reign under auspices the must favourable. His son, the Duke I O'ANGOELL/4E, now• the DAUI'IIIN of FRANCE, is popular with the army. The Spanish campaign flattens' the military pride of the French, and greatly reconciled them to the reigning House. The new KING has a plain and easy path before him, if lie choose to walk in it. If fue l projects of the Ecclesiastics, to whose influence he is nom r'ously much subject, should induce him to attempt any violent inroads on the civil and religions liberties of France, future trouble and confusion will yet be the portion of that country. It is tio favourable indication of the public ' :pinion that the Bente): fell t per cent. on the annunciation !of the decease of Lori a XVIII., towards whom, at the same time, the decline of the public funds operates as a ' , posthumous complinient. • Papers, not in the train or under the influence of the Ministry, continue to shew ample proofs of the power and activity of the censorship. Scarcely one of these, Journals appears without at 'mat one blank space, from which some ofilmsive article has been removed by order of I the censors. An Evening Paper of yesterday suggests that! the French Government should " insist that other matter should be ready, to supply the place of what might be re jected, so that three unsightly chasms, which speak so plaiLly to the eye, may be avoided." As we hold that the nectssity for subjecting the Press to a previous censorship can under no circumstances be maintained, we cauno: view but with disapprobation these suggestions for the more iffectnal exercise of an authority, whieir, in our opinion, ought not to exist. It ill becomes the free press of England to point out bow the shackles of the French press may be Inure closely riveted. Erin if the articles prepared were' " such as arc known to be inadmissible," we do not see why the Editors are not to be at liberty to leave blank the space which they arc not allowed to fill as thy like. Be_ sides, it might happen that if they bad prepared ts‘ieu as much matter as their papers would contain, the supple mentary articles might be as little to the taste of the censors as those already expunged. The next step would be, in the natural progress of things, to give the censors the right el itoe:t tins, ir. of what l;s:•y bad erased, such ;other matter as they judged more fitting for circulation amongst the subjects of his Most Christian Majesty. The suggested remedy for the " unsightly chasms" is, there fore, inapplicable and incomplete. In fact, a censor ship over the journals of a country like France, — advanced as she is in knowledge and civilization, — cannot co-exist with the improved institutions she now possesses. The French people, if they are to have any share or interest in the management of public affairs, must know by means of a free press what is the true character of the acts of their Government. A representative branch of the Legislature, and a press that cannot utter a word displeasing to the delicate ears of mot in authority, are incompatible with each other. One of them must soon be abolished ; and it is easy to foresee, that if the representa tive and judicial institutions of France be subverted, the, political calm that now happily prevails in that country, is not destined to be of long duration. The assumption, however, that " such articles are prepared as are known to be inadmissible," in order that "a feeling may be created that all intelligence and all reasoning worth reading are prohilfiteal," is, we believe, wholly groundless; and we must say, at the same time, a most unfair imputation against the French journalists. It is not their interest to send forth blank sheets. However a certain portion of the public might, fur a time, sym?athise with them as to the oppression beneath which they were sinking, the consequence of these vacancies, often repeated, would be a material reduction of the sale of the paper. But we are not compelled to rely upon inference. We have facts which disprove the imputation. We have, through our private Correspondent, given publicity to several pieces which have been condemned by the censors; and we would appeal to any impartial arbiter whether any one of those pieces was so decidedly offensive in its style and composi tion that it might beforehand have been known to be in admissible ? it would be very pretty amusement, doubt less, to write articles in order to have them rejected ; but we are afraid it would be too ruinously expensive to a public journalist to induce him to persevere many days in such a luxury. lie would soon be taught to feel the truth of the old adage--Qaelynoluis k jes se mat pas la chandelle. We arc assured, on the best authority, that the new Nea-' poli tan Loan is intended wholly and exclusively for the use of the King of Nap Ls,. It will be applied to discharge the cost of the maintenance of the Austrian troops, and some in-, ternal improvements in Sicily. The notion that any part of the proceeds will pass into the possession of the King of SPAIN is quite groundless. The observations we made re specting this loan were founded on the-erroneous report we have above contradicted. The loan was brought on Mon day into the market by Messrs. ROTHSCHILD. Extract from a Letter, dated Paris, Sept. 11:—" The alarming Wpm of the King is the subject of almost gene ral conversation ; but as the Count d'Artois takes every opportunity of showing that he approves of the politics of M. de Villele, it is nut likely that the death of Louis will produce any change for the worse. It is said that M. de Wilkie and Mr. Canning hare the same opinion on the subject of South America, and that Monsieur is more friendly to those States than could well be imagined. What lis certain is, that Mr. Ravenga, the late official President from Colombia, in London, has been here in high favour, although he is known to be the friend, and, in game sort, the representative of Bolivar. He has left this capital for England, after having had several interviews with the great man, and much private intercourse with his brother in-law, M. de Bassins, whom M. de Villde is in the habit of consulting on colonial affairs. if understand, however, that Mr. Ravenga will return haste early in October.—lt is Irumoured, but I know not how truly, that the police have made some curious discoveries at the house of a noble Rus sian, and that copies of papers of sonic importance, which were found there, have been forwarded to Russia. It is said that at this borne an ex-minister, an ex-female-favour ite, and two notorious Abbes, met to plot the downfal of M. de Villele, or, as he is by sonic called, " the French Canning." M. de Villele labours hard to make himself popular, and to a certain extent he is so; but the contriv ances to which he resorts are curious. To conciliate the Royalists be has caused it to be announced to these who re side in the provinces, that early in the next Fh.-tision he will propose a measure fur the indemnity of the emigrants; and on the other hand lie tickles the Liberals by informing them that at the same time he will remove the censorship. With the lower orders he is a favourite, because he takes every opportunity of increasing their comforts. In this purpose he lays out his supoduous cash in building, and urges all his friends and adherents to do the same. There are not less tkan 3000 houses now building in Paris, and it is said that 130,000 masons ere at this moment employed in building or demolishing. The house and lodging letters, however, complain that these new buildings have lowered the value of houses and apartments 15 per cent." It is satisfactory to be enabled to state, on the authority of letters received yesterday from Cadiz, that Valdes, and nearly the whole of his brave little band of followers, 'after the taking of Tarifa by die French, escaped across to "Tangier, where they will wait for a more fortunate period to make a new attempt.-3forning Paper. Extract of a letter, dated Bayonne, Sept. 4 :—" The Ilcnourablc Mr. Bingham passed through here on the evening of the 241, on his return from Madill', where he has been with despatches, intimating to Sir Wm. A'Court his appointment as Ambassador at Lisbon, for which des tination he set off on the 30th. Since the departure of the King from Madrid, the capital has been in a most disor tiered state ; the assassination of fourteen persons occurred in one day ; several of the French military are among the I number. Previous to his departure, peremptory orders had been sent for the execution of the unfortunate persons taken at Tarifa, to the number of 130, of which 23 were officers. Galicia is in a very unsettled state, troops are ordered to march in that direction ; indeed, Spain appears on the eve of some great convulsio." A letter from Trieste of the 31st ult. states, that accord ing to the last accounts from Smyrna, the Turkish squa dron was to sail from Mitylene on the 7th ult. to embark the troops assembled at Scalanuova, for an attack upon the island of Samos. New Yotk journals to the 2.artult., and Charleston to' the 15th, arrived yesterday : they give no late advicea either from Mexico or Peru. Letters from Guayaquil to the stifilt of May are said to confirm the intelligence of the junction of Olaneta to the independent eaus. in Upper Peru. The papers are filled with accounts of the reception of General la Fayette in America, who has been greeted Iwith the warmest enthusiasm by all ranks of the iteopl , !. The veteran appears to be in excellent spirits, and highly I gratified with the ticatment he has experienced from his, republican client's. I There is no foundation for the conjecture advanced in a Morning Paper, that " Lord Cochrane's return to this country is connected with an intention of again offering himself' for Westminster in the cvent of a dissolution of Parliament." Mr. and the Commissioners of Parliamentary Revenue Inquiry are expected at Glasgow for a few ilayt, in the course of this week, previous to the meeting or that board in Edinburgh. It is understood their inquiries here xvill have reference to the To - rms.-it of customs, excise, stamps, assessed taxes, and Post-otlice, as also to the com mercial intercourse with Ireland, as affected by the regula tions of the two first-mentioned departments.—G UV) it' Can rie r. The DuWin Putt jot of Saturday says. " The Incendiary Press has already commenced to assail Mr. Canning, whose arrival here they announced would take place this day. It appears from their attacks on this eminent Statesman, that the faction are Manned at his approach ; it augurs they feel no roil to the cause of division and discord.'

Four hundred and 1 ten persons supped in the grand banqueting ball. Tnr. EARL or Mar..—Friday last having been the sky appointed for the Earl of Mar's visit at Alba, at an early hour the utmost bustle prevailed amongst the inhabitants in making preparations for his reception. The number of spectators was greater than within the recollection of the . oldest inhabitants: perhaps no less than thirty thousand persons were present. When the carriage appeared on the opp:site dame all eyes were fixed on the spot ; and no sooner had the steam-boat left the shore, with the carriage on board, than a large gun, which was stationed to the west, was tired, the bands immediately striking up " Oh ! ye're been lang o' ~MY This was an interesting mo ment, and recalled the memorable landing of the King at Leith. The fire was answered fram the wood-yard of Mr. Bald to the east, and kept up all the time of crossing. The boat - haying now reached the opposite shore, Lord Aber crombie immediately sprang over the bulwarks, and wel-1' corned the old Earl and his two daughters, by heartily shaking them by the hands. The horses being taken from the carriage, a great many sturdy fellows pulled it from the beat to the head of the pier, amidst the loud huzzas of the I multitude, where it remained till the whole line of Feces- I sion had primed it, and with which the Earl was highly delighted, although at times he appeared to be overcome with the distinguishing honours he was reed In. The Earl is a fine looking old man, about Si years of age, and, I in general, kept smiliug to the crowd, many of whom ap proached the carriage, and shook hands with him. The I whole proceesiou, with the Earl in its train, proceeded up the High -street, and through the other creel leading to 1 Mar -street, where it entered a grand triumphal arch erected there, and bearing the following inscription—" Ailoa hails her ancient Lord." During the whole of the way the car- riage was guarded on each side by three of the gentlemen 1 on horseback mentioned alcove. Having arrivesl at dic ' Tontine, at the top of Mar-street, the Earl was received by his friends, and the several incorporations dispersed tol their dithrent lodges. The day was fine, and notwith- ' standing the immense crowd, not a single amide. t occurred. ~—SentflllUß. The Earl of Mar, since his arrival at Alloa, has given 20 guineas to the poor of that parish. The inns at Garvamore, Pitman], Aviemore, and Gran ' town arc full of sportsmen. The Bank at Fishmongers' Hall has been some time closed fur the season. There is not a sole to be seal, nor an eel to be skinned there in a whole week. _ The King's hounds have left the New Forest for Wind sor, quite out of order, from the hardness of the runs and the thickness of the cover. 'nit y are to return in Oatiber. The stags have shown their amazing speed and cunning by mixing with the herds, and avoiding being taken by the lurchers, which were posted in all points. A man at Lynd hurst has offered to engage to drive them, only on horse back, into a toil, or, ash says, through that town singly, in the same manner they take the forest ponies. As it is, not one stag has been taken alive; three stags and one hind have been killed. It is said that in the card parties of Louis XV., his Majesty's eagerness to win was conspicuous and ill-bred. Each person carried into the apartment a white leather long narrow bag, containing from six hundred to a thou sand lonia d'ors, and the King was often t ) be seen bearing away, over and above what he could stow, his hat filled wirl; go/d. Henry Fielding hearing from a friend that a third person was very much dejected, asked the cause. " Bezause," said his friend, "he is deeply in debt." " Is that all ?" replied the facetious Henry ; " you surprise me that he should mind it. How happy should 1 be could 1 find means to get five hundred pounds deeper in debt than ain !" For the farther security of the administration of justice, al for clearing up the truth in matters of such gre a t we i g h t and un. pottance, his Majesty further thinks fit to order that the sant:nary of the investigations which he commanded to be made by the It.. tendant I:earned of the Police, as well as those th at to ,. h p u ce en the assassination of the .Marquis of !Joule, shall be laid bef ore t h e present l'ommission, with the other documents, as thew read to throw much light on the fatal events of 30th April.

The Emperor, admiring this, inquired of the old man what means he employed to preserve quiet among such a number of persons. The man, taking out a pencil, wrote only these three words—patience, parienee, patience. VEMACITY.—TIIC Chinese annals relac, that a young Prince once diverting hitnself in the garden with his pages, in the presence of his prouptor, said to one of his pages, in sport, " I make you King of such a place." " What is your Highness doing ?" said the preceptor hastily. " I was only in jest," replied the Prince. " Sir," said the preceptor. " the wont of a Prince should never be jest : you have made the boy a King, and he must be so—your word cannot be recalled." The nomination was accordingly confirmed. A TLIACICAL IKCIDENT.—At an Indian wedding in the Philippine Islands, the bride retireu from the company, in order to go down to the river and wash her feet. As she was thus employed an aligator seized her. Ike shrieks brought the people to the place, who saw her between the !monster's teeth, and just drawn under water. The bride groom instantly plunged after, with his dagger iu hie hand, and pursued the ravisher. After a desp.vate conflict, he made him deliver up his prey, and swam to shore with the .body of 1:11 dead a ifc in his arr•.:s.

Jf:MMY DA W&.' Shenstone's pathetic and affecting bayed of Jortmly Dawson has drawn tears from every person of amiability, or possessing the feelings of humanity • and it will mistime to be admired as long as the English 'language shill exist This ballad, which is founded in truth, was taken from a narrative first published in the Parr,: of the 4.1 of Ammst, I I it', three days after the transaction it records It is 1 given in the form of a letter, and is as follows:- 1 " A young lady of a good family and handsome feria?* , hal for souse time extremely loved, and was equally beloved 1 by Mr. James Ihwson ' one of those unhappy gentlemen who suffered on Wednesday last, at Kennington Common, • for high treason ; and had he either been acquitted, or have found the royal mercy after condemnation, the flay of his enlargement was to have been that of their marrirge. " I will not prolong the narrative by any repetition or , what she suffered on sentence being passed on him; none. excepting those utterly incapable of feeling any soft or se eerous motions, but may easily conceive her Keats; !beside, the sad catastrophe will he sufficient to convince you of their sincerity. " Not all the persuasions of her kindred cotild ;menu her from going to the place of execution: she eras det:t - I mined to see the last of a person so dear to her, amt ac , c .r.lingly followed the sledges in a hackney coach, act-ea:pit n'ed by a gentleman nearly related to her, and one fem. i e i fiend. She got near enough to sec the fire kindled whir 1 ; was to consume that heart she knew was so ranch deve:" l to her, and all the other dreadful preparations for his :1:e, without betraying any of these emotions her frieuils appre hended ; but when all was over, and that she foetal he it 4 no more, she threw her head hsek into the mach, and eit !culating, " My dear, I follow thee! I follow thee! LerA IJesus! receive both our souls together," fell ou the neck of her empaaion, and expired the very moment she baldest i speaking. That excessive grief which the fore: of her r eliant en had kept smothered within her breast, is thou:tilt to Eire' put a stop to the vital motion, and suffocated at ace all • the animal spirits."
