• Mil I: intimated, however, that on his return from the en campments near Boulogne, and from the North, he intended to gay seine time at Abbeville to see the dragoons encamped there, manoeuvre before him. The saml day, at one e'clock in the afternoon, his Majesty arrived at Boulogne. inhabitants had ereaed triumphal arches, and did every thing in their power to give his Majesty a brilliant recep tion t but the Emperor was already in the middle of the harbour, busy in inspeCting the works, before his arriv.l was known. An immense number of soldiers and sailors surrounded his Majesty, and in every quarter the greatest rejoicings were expressed, and the greatest applause was heard. The Emperor spent a part of the evening in the road, and saw several divisions of the flotilla manoeuvre before him. Ir is said that Prince Louis is to be appointed o , lolel General of the carabiniers ; General Gou ~iou Cyr, Colonel General of the Curassiers ; Generi.l :7ugene lieauharnois, Colonel General of the Chass,..a c; ani General Junot, Colonel General of the HU-ISL 5. M. de Vaillanz, formerly Member of the Consti teent As embly, is appointed treasurer of a cohort of the Legion of Honour, and will reside in the did Abbe) St. Vaast, near Arras. Le Fevre Cayet is sensinated Clian6ellor of the same cohort. The day before yesterday, the male elephant, in the Jardin des Plantes, died. The Empress will immediately set ant for Ai:- la-Chapelle. Her Majesty will be, receded by eight of the principal officers of her palace ; among others, the General and Senator, Horrific, her master of the hone. and by her chaplain d'Aubusson and de Heancoont. Besides her Majesty's usual ladies in Pairing. she will be attended by four chosen ladies :Ober palace, the Ladies Vaede, Colbert, de Decay, and Remuset. It is believed that her Majesty will ble absent for five weeks. Gen. Caulincourt is one of the sight officers of the Empress's household, who is to accompany her upon her jnnrney to Aix la Chapelle. General Baraguay &Hillier:, Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour, is appointed a Colonel General of Dragootis. soutoart, JULY 21. • (Trots the Moniteur of the Zhl.] The Emperor went into the road yesterday, at seven o'clock in the morning. lie wanton board several •of the vessels of the Sotilla. An English division, at some distance, seemed once inclined to attack the line ; but, before it came within cannon shot, it withdrew from the coast. At moon, the Emperor received in their turn the diffetvnt corps of the army. At four o'clock, he visited particularly, and in all its parts, the maga zines of the arsenal, the establishments of the artil lery, and t.t.e several works in the harbour. Between two and three o'clock, the wind began to blow hard, at north east. Two gun-boats drove upon their anchors. One of them, during the night, having become quite unmanageable, was thrown between the rocks of Fort l'Heurt. About mid night, it fired several guns of distress. The Em peror remained during the whole night, near Fort rHeurt, where he gave orders to carry this boat every succour, which the very high sea, and the wind, which was terrible, could permit. At five o'clock in the morning, several boats at tempted to sucsour it, and dispositions were made to save the crew, the instant the gun-boat was broken ►' pieces against the rock. But it soon stranded on the sands, in the midst of the most dangerous rocks, and was saved ; it even received no damage. An English 74 gun ship, which attempted to keep in the midst of the Channel, against the wind and the tide, lost ha cables, and drove for a long time. For tome moments, it was expeeted that this ship would be wrecked on our coast. tweet, Jute 17. Captain Dangier, who occupies our road, with satiny Avisions of our flotilla, was attacked by as English division, consisting of two ships of the line, and twelve or fifteen other vessels. The combat took place ; but, after several hours, the enemy were forced to sheer off, without having in any manner accomplished the objea they proposed. We suf fered no dam ige ; but we have reason to think that the English suffered a great deal from our fire. UTRECHT, JULY 26. Yesterday the second battalion of the re:;itnent of Waldeek, which has been here for some days, re ceived sudden orders to join the camp. This morning, the bleat Callu-Bstavian park d artillery, of forty pieces of cannon, with 4.rtis. sons, bar;age, and :Taasport to t oe 1:11:n -6er of 150, drawn by four horses each, pas..l through this city for the camp by Zest. Even the 4/bed 7th companies of the Bth regiment of French artillery, in garrison here, were ordered thii morn ing to march to the camp. ADISTIIIDAII, JULY 25. According to the letters from the Cape of Good Hope, Governor Janssen had made a jour=-) :o LONDON, FRIDAY, A VGVOT 3. Yesterday we received the two Hamburgh Mails due, with letters and Papers from Germany, to the 2Sth last. These, as also the .IJesitere up to the 113th, our Contemporaries have, no doubt, in com mon with us; but. we have r•c.. red, ester• sive&, the small Paris Papers to the /6th, and the Dutch Papers to the 30th. The small French Pa pers give the particulars of 800 A.P a art's journey to Boulogne, and all the anecdotes upon the road, which it afforded. The Dutch papers go farther, and give us reason to believe, that before this time, his revolutionary Ma)tsry has visited Holland, and the Gallo-Batavian troops encamped there. A pa ragraph from the Hague, of the 28th last, says, the espedition against this country will sail during Bo). *PAPAL ' S present vi to the coast. It can. nut, however, conceal i's fear of our cruisers, which it adds, are every.wliere in motion. An article in the German papers state•, that the Ki.'g of ENG LAND, as Eleflor of Hasorse, has, by his Mi. nister at Ratisbon, in a very spirited' manner, sup ported the note of the Russian Resident respeeting the invasion of the German Empire, and die sub sequent murder of the Duke of F.sientam. As the Protocol is now open, it is rot the fault of England, Austria, and Russia, if that foul offence shall pass without the reprobation which it deserves. We have frequently copied from Paris Papers, which we ezeiesiede receive, articles that expose the artifices of BON AAAAA 3 to infuse courage into those trembling slaves whom I. meson to sacrifice vs his malignant vanity in an attempt of iovakier, by in spiring false ideas of the changer of this cot:atry. Te Journal de Paris of the Ifith last, eonta.ns the two following paragraphs of chi: description, under the head of London News : Si London, July—The late dispatches frorn L.rd Coe w a Ltis, stationed before Brest, increase our fever. Their contents, it is true, have remained secret ; but it is pretended that they announce some moverr.enu among the French, and that is enough to spread consternation among the brace inhabitants of the capital." The second paragraph says, ff A London Morning Print, to keep up a little the spirit of these cowards, po::;;rely assured, in its last num_ Ur:, ti.zt the contest between France and Eng land w.ll end sra:ii.:ty to the advantage of On! former ; and mat Mr. l'lrr, notwithstanding his amia:de inclination for war, must finally solicit a peace." In this manner du the Jus..rtied de fors, and its worthy coadjutors of the Paris pros, set all truth at defiance. While the 'woad dr: Defreireeerr represezts us at eraitors, ready to joie our detest.. able foe ; aad the r;;04-n F.,1,.e0;5 holds out the Volunteers of England as political merchants,•pre pared to bringl oar liberties to the hammer ; the Editor of the journal do Pori', the revolutionMy favourite Of BONAPARTE, exhibits us as cowards, trembling at the very name of invaders, whose pre sence we have so long wished for, and whose attack we court. A letter from Paris, of the 16th July, says," That of the persons arrested at Ettenheim, last March, none, except the Duke of EN GIIIEN, has yet been brought to trial or executes! ; and that BoNApan if no farther notice was to be taken at Itatisbon of this affair, and Isis invasion of Germany, would even set them at liberty, and carry them to the other side c f the Rhine but if the Diet listened to the representations of Russia, they should immediately appear before the same military commission, which condemned the Duke of ENGHIEN." Our corre spondent adds, "That it is a known fad at Paris, 'that notwithstanding all the endeavours of Bova• mare's public accusers, and his spies in Germany, not the least shadow of evidence has been found against them, that could extenuate his violation of the laws of nations, and his cruelty towards these unfortunate persons, among whom are several fo reigners of both sexes." We have heard from very respeElable authority, that information has arrived in town, stating, that Luis XVIII. with the Duke and Duchess of An ow:Lassa, had left Warsaw for Willa], the for mer capital of Lithuania, at present Russian-Po land ; but that His M.saesi v's consort, the Queen of Fitawct, continued at Warsaw. Letters have, however, been received from that city, of the loth of last month, at which period, His Most Curtis van MAJESTY, with his royal relatives, still re mained there. A friend writes us from Berliq, under the 21st ult. that a report is circulated there (the authen ticity of which he would not guaranty ), of the King of FRASICE having made preparations to leave Warsaw; but that His MAJESTY had been given to understand by the Prussian Governor, that he could not permit I lis MaJzsr v's departure without new orders from his Sovereign. Should this be the case, the unfortunate Louts XVIII. is as much a prison er in the Royal Palace at Warsaw, as if he was shut up in Bos• .? RT E'S Bastile the 'temple. It is true that his life cannot be in the same ixemediath danger under Prussian as under Corsican jailors ; but. to a Prince of Losts XVIII.'s enlightened and feeling mind, insults, and even death, from the hand of an usurper and his accomplices, are preferable to the degradation of lawful monarchy in his person, by the impolitic, if not ungenerous conduct of another Monarch, his equal by birth and by rank; but his inferior in disinterested and noble sentiments. We are well inclined to render justice to the private vir tues of His PRUSSIAN MaJzsry ; we only wish that with these were united an unbiassed judgment in the choice of his Counsellors, and that Jacobiaism and selfishness were excluded from the determinations of his Cabinet. Whatever Haucwore says to the contrary, no spoils of Germany can indemnify in sults and humiliations offered by one King upon his throne to another unfortunate King in exile, or pal liate the debasing prostration of a lawful Sove reign before the usurped throne of a ferocious ad venturer. We desire sincerely, that Ills PRUSSIAN MA lasTv would remember that even the longest sign is comparatively a short one; and that aPrince who regards present advantages every thing, and the advantages o f f u t ure ages nothing, may be ex tolled by weak, selfish, treacherous, or ignorant fa vourites and ministers ; but will never, by an impar tial and just posterity, he claseed am , ,ng great and good kings, the benefethors of mankind.

The health of the Admiral appears to be nearly estab lished, and his stay in town will be but a few days. On Wednesday and Thursday, detachments from the Nottingham militia, quartered in Canterbury, proceeded to Baraltain Downs, under the immediate superit cendance of Majar MAP.I.AY, Assistant QUM.- ter-Master-General, to mark out the ground for the ensuing camp.
