Saturday morning, the I9th instant, at 10 o'clock, our beloved Sovereign began his journey for Revel.

Many persons in France think, however, that he will not easily escape destruftioft, either from Bonaparte's military assassins, or his secret poisoners. Notwithstanding the vigilance of Bonaparte's Spies, numbers of ballads and songs are circulated at Paris, it the departments, and in the armies, ridi culing the new Emperor, his wife and family. Se veral caricatures have been seized by the police on this subjed ; and a bookseller in the Mars Royal has been arrested, accused of selling a pretended ad- • dress from the shades of the French soldiers at Jaffa, inviting him to the throne of the i—l re gions, whew they are anxiously waiting for the Emperor of the French. Not only Lucien and Je rome Bonaparte, but Madame Barspete, the mo ther, are in complete disgrace, and forbid ever more to return to France. Louis Bonaparte is now. on account of his wife, the greatest favourite, and therefore not a little bawd by his brother Joseph, and by h s brother-in-law Murat. Lucien Bonaparte has been wounded lately in a duel with the Prince Borghese, his brother-in-law, who intends to settle in Germany. leaving his wife with her brother. PART% JUNI 4. immediately after the conclusions of the Attorney General, regarded here as sentences already pro nounced, Bonaparte convoked a Council of State, at which all the great officers of the empire, and all our ministers, were present. He desired their opi nion,whether, according to Air own inefination,itwuuld be political to pardon most of tiaz pretended con spirators, or to let the law take its course. 1/is brothers rued for clemency ; but the plurality of the numbers thought it dangerous to pardon men t who, if shut up in prisons, or transported to the most dis tant colonies, might find opportunity to escape, who were incorrigibly fanatical for the Bourbons, and that therefore the safety of the Emperor and of the empire required their punishment. Bonaparte, with difficulty, assented to their opinion, and protested that, without their better judgment, he would have forgiven them all, not excluding even Georges, ad horring to shed Amen ilood. This story the police agents report every where, adding that Bonaparte left the Council of State with tears in his eyes ! ! ! PR:VA fE CORR On the 4th instant it was generally believed at Paris that the execntion of the pretended conspi. rigors would take place, in the same clandestine manner as the murders of Pichegru Ind of the Duke of Engbien. Rumours were even circulated on that day, that some of them had been found dead in their dungeons, and were said to have committed suicides. Though already brought to trial, no person was per mitted' to visit them. Madame Polignac, who had several times ss•mandeJ and attempted to speak with her husband, was, on the ^J, ordered, under pain of transportation, to de.st in her pursuits, and leave her husband to his fate. Madame Mo. reas has spoken three tim, to tier husband, bat in the presence of the Police Commissary of the Tem ple, and of the g.ns d'erves, two of whom guard each prisoner in his dungeon night and day. Se. veral houses round the Temple have been shut up, and their inhabitants imprisoned; Bonaparte, being informed by his spies, that some signals had been made from their roofs to the prisoners in the Tern. ;le particu/aiiy twine( when General Moreau, at tended by forr res tarots, was permitted for half an hour to breathe fresh air in the Temple garden. Even Bon.iparte's ;.[•lice agents are forced to admire the loyalty and firmness of Carrain Wright, who has resisted alike their bribes and threats. It is se'd at Paris, that the Grand Judge, 4fter in vain , - -ffer. ing him a large sum of money, with a comnrission of an Admiral in the,French service4if he would betray the British government, threatened that he should be shot in twenty-four hours, as an accomplice with t:c.)rge, Pichegru, &c. but that his answer was, jr oiefr a violation of the laws of war and nir nations takes place. 14641 recommend my rood to iny Creato►, and th, ..•vgra'we of my death to my KS's; and Caustryi het 1 hor..

The Prince of Wales and dualand packets ar rived at Harwich on Saturday night with the Hu sum mails and serer:.l passengers of distinftion ; in cluding Mr. MIA Kt, late Minister at Munich, and family, Sir FRAMCIS DRAILII, Countess of Bsese r, &c. The mails are of the sth and Sth instant, and were received yesterday. The public prints. as well as privatti letters, mention military prepara tions in Russia, Prussia, Austria, and Denmark, and that a French cordon of /0(4000 men is form ing on the Left Bank of the Rhine. These measures are, however, merely spoken of as pleature camps, or defensive attitudes ; but it has been generaliy ob served, that whea great powers hare differences to settle, with arms in their hands, they seldom fail to come to blows. In Russia, in Turkey, and even in Prussia, the French interest is upon the decline; while it gains ground in Spain, Portugal, and Italy. The King of NAP I. KS has been forced to dismiss his faithful Minister D'Acron, and to appoint in his place, Chevalier Micnsious, a person more agreeable to France. The tyrannical persecution by BONA? aIT I, of British subje:ls upon the con tinent, is now extended to all British travellers in Italy, even in the neutral states of Tuscany. and the Papal dominions. An ankle from Paris says, that the invasion of this country will be undertaken be fore the 14th of July; that every thing is now ready for the curing of England ; and that the French troops are only waiting for a calm of thirty-sir hours to put their threats into, execution. The ReISIAN ES. PlitOß has left his capital for Revel; but has, probably. returned before this time. The King of Pte. si A arrived oa :he Sao instant at Berlin. Great preparations have been made for the es petted contest this evening in the House of Com mons. The friends of the Minister speculate v ith confidence upin a majority of 50, while the Coali tion reckon upon an accession of strength to the anioust of 3o,'and expeet to divide from 41 I to 220. Every friend to his country must lament this divisi on of its political spirit and opinion at such a critical moment, and %el', of course, rejoice at the prospet held out ni its speedy termination. But the diminu nitiun of the strength of Government, by distratling its attention, is not, we presume, the most seii!ius ev3 arising out of the present order of things. Its effea upon the public mind is, perhaps, a still grew r mis:hief. So much is the attention occupied with the immediate contlia of the respes9ive parties, v. 4h:wit nessing their mutual wounds, and watching all the vicissitudes of the fight, that the public, hitherto of no pasty, but breathing one common spirit, is its danger of being divided and enlisted under the ban ners of the contending Chiefs. The public cannot be too much upon their gttini agairnt this feeling, into which, contrary to their interest, their wish s, and their intentions, they may possibly be betreye.: Let it never be forgotten, that this is not a questiea whether Mr. Pier cr Mr. Fox shall be Mie;sier The objets of the Coalition, which turned out Mi . ADDINGTON, was to obtain an Administratio n which shcruld embrace all the talent and confidence of the country. Mr. Pier blasted that hope at the moment it was regarded as realised. If he found, as his friends give out, an insuperable objection to it in a certain quarter, he should have stated it can didly to the Coalition, and given up the pursuit.-- But, by substituting himself for Mr. Ant:net:roe, he has defeated the wishes of the country, disap pointed, some say betrayed, the Coalition, and left things precisely in the state of which he complained. He hes given us en Administration upon a narrow basis, that does not embrace the talents and confidence of the people. This is the real state of the question, irons which we here the public will never suffer their attention to be di. vetted, and fixed upon collateral or minor objets. If Mr. PITT were to resign to-morrow, and Mr. Fes to be substituted in his place, upon the *erne prin ciples of the present Administration, the °hied of the Coalition and the wishes of the country would be as much defeated and disappointed as they are at this moment. The country wants and wishes f r an Administration, not of this party nor that eaity, not of Mr. PITT to the exclusion of Mr. Fox, nor vice versa ; but of Mr. PITT and Mr. Fox conjointly, with the other leading men of all parties, distinguished by their talents, their integrity, and their influence. This is the principle, that has influenced, and will continue to influence, our sentiments and observa tions upon this important suhjeel. Mr. PITT has proved himself unable us rally around him the is lents, property, and influence, of the country. By his own confession, his Administration is not, there fore, of that organisation which the country demands. It is ridiculous to suppose that the Gaemvi tees, the &C. merely wish to turn out Mr. PIT to put Mr. Fox in his place. No, they w:sh to obtain an Administration upon their original plans which Mr. Per r defeated. If Mr. Fez were to come into power upon a principle of exclusion and proscription, and to attempt, as Mr. Pier has done, to make a new Ministry out of the shreds and patches of the old, he would not stand for• six days. Saturday, about two o'clock, Their Mamma and the PRINCESSLS, in a post chariot and two coaches and four, removed from the (2vExpes House to Kew. On the arrival of the Royal Family at Kew, they were saluted by the Volunteers and Staffordshire Mili:i r. Mr. LoveLL. of the Coach and Horses, on Kew Green, discharged 21 pieces of cannon from the top of his lioue, to welcome the Royal 'Pie this!, of the church was displaye '. In the eveni, It, the Royal Family walked in the gardens. le. T.:lay morning, the Royal Family attended di6tie s:rvic , and in the evening, walked in t: gaidens. Saturday evening, about seven o'clock, the P. ince of W•Lcs arrived in town from Bibury. A Court of Common Council will he held to morrow at Guildhall, to take into consideration a motion, that the thanks of the Court be given to the Right Hun. HENRY ADDINGTOV, late Chancellor of the Exchequer, for his patriotism, public spirit, and zealous and unwearied exert;ons in the public ser- vice, and his steady attachment to the principles of the constitution and the liberties of the people; and to consider a motion for settling the salary of the Recorder of this city, and on other business. On Monday last, we prepared the public mind for a new /wit: of an evening print, dlitiagnished for its scurrilous absise of Mr. Fox. The following extract. from its last number, stews our speculatica was tolerably corre& " However, it appears that the two parties are nearly balanced, and unless the kiwi thoroughly recovers, which we do not think will be the case, the Coalition is likely to succeed.
