ands npen the patrimony of her best Ally; Prussia, sty, Junde, at length, the fatal 'discovery that BUONAPARTE was sick of her partnership, and weary of her forbearance and that, to free himself from the tediousness of her complaints, and the in sipidity of her reproaches, he was preparing to de vour her. Then, indeed, and not till ,then, she sought, to secure her independence, and prated her self from the rUthless fangi of the tiger whom her, persevering complaisance' alone had nursed to matu rity! This is what BtIONAPARTE calls conspiring against his _independence ! and, alas! he is right t is.:.Europe that has lost its senses it is Europe that is over-run with cowards, and fools, and mad ' smen, in that class, which, by its honours and en).- plOyments, is deStined to dire& the policy of Em pires ; BVOVAFARTO, the creature of the Revolu tion and of war, placed on the first Throne of . the world, and at The head of a people vain and irasci ble above all others, a stranger to that nation, which has. never yet been able to endure the &minion of a stranger, knows well—tliat the sword of • DAMO CLES hangs over him, and that millions of Men burn with the fiercest desire to see it .fall and bury itself in his heart ! He knows, that, in the Country which he pollutes with his presence and his power, R single moment is sufficient to sever the hair which suspends the steel of lust= over his guilty h ea d. He knows that for every Frenchman he is a tyrant, and that for himself every Frenchman is a legitimate judge. All this he knows; and his wish is to avert the dreaded catastrophe.. In the wish,. he is cer-• tainly Finghlar hut, (as far as regards JUMself, he is not, for that, the less reasonable. To remove from his person the perils which his insatiable ambition is eternally increasing,. war is necessary. It is indispensably neeeisary for him, ibecaUse peace,' a real peace, would give the French • ssn opportunity of occupying themselves with their own concerns, of ,refle&ing on their situation, and of fixing their eyes and their attention on this Corsi can, this subject of Genoa, odious in every possible mode by which hatred can be, excited-; on this Corsican, the, most ridiculous of all men, past, pre sent, and to come; 'since he is avowedly / such in despite of so-many viaories, and e in the midst of so many triumphs ! BU6IAPARTE is the, only human being; who, become sole master of Europe by the chance of war, end at the very Moment when he terrifies mankind by his cruelties, his furies, and his rapacities, is unable, notwithstanding, to open his mouth in public, in his Councils, at the -head - of his armies,- to the Kings, his slaves, or tti his Allies, without appearing both' in word and a&iou coth pletely ridiculous. The terror which he inapires is real ; but the respect which he' laboUrs to procure, that imitation' of great Men, which he sedulously attests, those phrases stolen from history, which he anxiously wishes to revive ; ,all this, in his person, exhibits, by the side of the master of Europe, the figure of an upstart, inebliiated by vanity more than pride, . and prevented by this very vanity from a tipting himself to the part which Fortune has given Win to play ! Consequently,. in him is combined what may not unaptly be termed the sublime of ri *cute ; that is to say, the most decided, the most glaring opposition' between what we wish to per.: suade others to think us, and what we are in reality. This 'ridicule, you will say, is nothing for straogeOL True ; but it is every thing for French men,' - Let them enjoy peace, and' every word of ,the tyrant will 'lie weighed, every gesture 'exa mined, and every a&ion judged. Give peace to the, French, and, in six months, they will whisper to one another, thrOughout the whole extent of France,- that. BOONArARTE i's 'ridiculous; and the day that this confidence becomes a national convi&ion, Roo- NAkAiere will find himself at' the last gasp of his poWer and his life! TO sum up all, it is absolutely , necessary that France should not have leisure to retie& on her situation, nor 'time to fix her atten tion on the tyrant, to enable him to rivet her chains. War does this, war manacles her in'eVery ; peke, real peace, woUldburst. her fetters; and yet you would ask ofl36ots7APAßTil'a real, an honourable Peace ! Was there ever seen such an instance of madness ? We's there ever heard a request so child ish and absurd ? To ask a solid and permanent Peace of livoe APARTE is to supplicate him to plunge a dagger into his own heart. If he seems deter mined to refuse this blessing to Europe, it must be allowed' that his obstinacy of denial, however (Lis-, tressing it may be, Is not without some excuse. What, however, is without the slightest shadow of an excuse, is the more than diabolical obstinacy with which the Ministers of the Continent persist In pressing upon BUONAPARTE their paltry, their pitiful Notes: - I am well convinced that he consi ders the necessity of reading them as the sole hos tility which he has to apprehend from such a whin ing and despicable crew. •Unhappy Kings of this age, RUONAPAIITB wishes to. D.ESTltuir YOU MORALLY AND PiIYSICALLY ! He wishes to DasTaoy you l When, he sheathes the sword, c ia is only becanse he has left in your domi nions the venom of a 1 4 eace which necessitates your Ii i ruin. When at length you perceive that he has forced up)ty you Abe poisoned cup, and that his friec►:lship iy rapi.lly of 'et your 'destruaion,- . you are then desirous of defending yourselves ; and this is the moment which he Selecis to tell you that you have " conspired against his independence !" This app6rs astonishing to you—to you who, so long en slaved, now supplicate for nothing but chains Some. what ,less ponderous--but it appears astonishing to, you al6ne. In France iris no secret thi the inde pendence of fit/ONAPAIiTE has your slavery for its basit, and his existence your ruin ! This, I presume, sufficiently explains the purport of those fantastic and ridiculous phrases in which BUON'APARTZ accuses the most submissive of his accomplices of " conspiring against his indeperili ence !"

SOLEM Q UII DICIRE P ALIUM AUDIAT LO,NDON, r . WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER - 30, I 807. `Last night a Mail arrived from Guitt;ilburO: it brings.some further de_!taili respelling the tionibprd-.. meta and surrender of Copenhagen, and also the Proclamation of the Governor-General .PnymAN to the inhabitants, stating the met:ves 'which induced hit» to capitulate. The account which reached us thro&gh the medium of the Dutch Papers,' of the evacuation or the bland' of Ragan by. the Swedes, is • confirmed. Louts XVIII, with his family and suite, have ar rived at Carlscrona,' on a visit'to his Swedish Majes ty; by whoM they were received with every mark Of respeEt:due to their rank and to their miSfortnnes. This visit has given rise to conjeaures ;,it 'hhs . been supposed by some that the Emperor 'At.ux-, AND was bound by a secret_ Article of the Treaty of Tilsit no longer to afford the unfortunate head of the Bouamox Family 'an asylum, in his dominions. Nothing, however, but the most indisputable evi dence shall induce us to believe that the Emperor ALEXANDER COLN agree to inch a stipulation : if he did, the triumph of BUOMAPARTE was indeed complete. An.)ther supposition, and it appears to us the more probable one, is‘, 'that Louts the 18th did itot consider himself quite .safh at Nlittau. since the return of the French to Konigsburgh. Previous to the evacuation of that City by the French, a very heavy contribution was it'nposed upon it, part of which was .paid, and the remainder was to be dis :, charged within a limited time ; the unfortunate in habitants, however, had been previously so pillaged, that they were unable to pay the iustalment.,whin it , became due, the consequence of which was, that a body of French troops immediately began their. March for 'that City, and are now aaually in pos session of it. Mama .is about 140 miles N.' E. of Konigsburgh, and therefore hardly out of the reach Coup-da-nutin, if the Preach were dispOsed to attempt it. It is, hthVever, stated, that the Emperor AtaxStivett has invited Louis to return to his Dominions, from which it' is inferred' that he is dlifSatiSfiettWith BUONAPARTE, and that a rupture between thtmis likely to take place; but we con fess we see very little ground fqr this conclusion. THE Stiip Chiswick is arrived at Liverpool from Barhadoes, from whence she sailed on the 21st Au gust, and brings accounts that the Blonde Frigate has captured the French Schooner Privateer Anne Villaret,,, of 7 guns and tip Men ; and the Hortense, of 8 guns and gR men : the former after a chace of 14 hours, on the t Ath, August, the latter on the tath August, to .windward of Barliadoes, and sent them into the latter place. The Manchester and Marlborough Packets, with Mails from Falmouth, had arrived at Barhadoes ; the former on the 18th, the latter the 2I at of August. , , By Private Letters from Halifax, we learn that Sir A. COCHRANE was President of the Court Xar fiat which tried the Seaman taken out of the 01'4ksat peake American Frigate. The unfortunate mat was found guilty, upon the clearest evidence,of mutiny,, contempt, and desertion. He was executed on the 31st ult. on board the Halffia Sloop of War. The proceedings of the Court Martial were tope publish ed at Halifax, but had nut come gut when the Packet sailed. From these, we understand, will . cleatly appear the infamous arts pradis(.d by the Americans to entice our Seamen into their ser vice. We hOpe soon to be furnished, with a Copy of the Proceedings of the Court-Martial, wt.idi, cannot fail to be highly interesting to - the British Nation. re Thi s e 4 morn i ng we receiv aCCOI2PtS (NCI 13:11:11a does to the !sal tilt.' inclusive. The following is the principal intelligence contained in them BARBADOES, AUG. 1.5. --The Ships Piancy and Industry, from NewfOundlabd to Barbadoes - ; and John, 'from Greenock to Jamaica; the Brigs Swal law, of Liverpool, from the Coast of Africa to Bar.: badoesv Isabella, of Bermuda, from Norfolk to. Jamaica ; and one from Liverpool, have all bean taken and carried to the Enemy's Ports. The Nancy was captured, on the 3d instant, in sight of Martinique, by the Fripon, French Pri ►ateer, of b guns, and 80 men, .and arrived. at Point-a-Petre (Guadeloupe) on the sth ; the Swal low, on-,the 24th ult. to windward of this Island, and dent to Guadeloupe ; and the Isabella on. the 25th, and arrived. et Martinique on the 29th. The accumulation of British Prisoners of War at Guadeloupe has been immense; and while the Captain-General ERNOUP manifests a' 'vindietive spirit towards our Naval Commander, by with holding all exchange of prisoners with him, in con sequence, as be pretends,. of oar Admiral having sent the Adjutant-General HORTOD to England, he artfUlly holds out to our unfortunate seamen in his power, the only alternative of a - perpetual pri son, or a breach of their allegiance by entering on board his Privateers. It is a fad, which we state from good authority, that of 212 British seamen prisoners at Guadaloupe, from 80 to go, despondent of exchange, and after being almost a year in misera ble confinemeut,, have recently entered into the Enemy's service, and are now cruizng in his Priva teers againat the subje4s of their own Sovereign I COL Sit : JOHN WAHDLAW is a no less sufferer from the malicious , systern of ERNOUP than the meanest prisoner, and still remains, after five or six months captivity, with as little chi‘nce of being re leased'orexChnuged as any of thein and this, too; notwithstanding much interest has been made bY. many respectable Frenchmen of Gdadaloupe,,and a Memorial from the Masonic Fraternity of that Island presented in his behalf to' the unrelenting Captain- General. We regret to add also that his wounds, as late as, the 27th ult. remained unhealed, and his general health is much impaired.

The writer of this letter, after dwelling upon thetyrannical con dudtolthe .French Government towards , that of Portugal, describes the disposition of the latter to make any concession in its power to the terms pro posed by the Envoy of Bear:0101'k. ThoSe terms were—first, the advance via certain sum of. money to France ; secondly, the surrender of all the Portu guese iiect to that Power ; and thirdly,- the closing.. of the Ports of Portugal against-the 'Ships of ,t his Country. To:the latter proposition the PRINCE REGENT expressed his disposition to acquiesce, being in faa bound to do so upon the demand of Spain, according to the terms of the Treaty-el Badajos, in 1801 But as to the first proposition, the , Portu guese Government stated to the French i Envoy their absolute incapacity, from the state of their finane'al resources; to comply with it ; and the second. pro• position they entirely declined, BUONATABTE, low• ever, persisted in. his 'reqnkitions, and the conse quence is represented 'to be, the determined reso lution of the i'vrtuguese Government.tO proceed to the Brazils, „ . • The Ist Battalion of the 42d (or Boyal Higb• landers), with some other Corps ,. go from Gibraltar to Sicily.

Many . persons were wounded, and upwards of 30 plaCcs in the tOwilk: wrre, set on_. fire ; but the conflagrations were got under by the exertions of,the firemen.. On Thurs.... day the enemy's 'batteries were almost silent, but `the bornbar , lment recommenced on.

The steeple of the- Church of - Our Laxly was in a. blaze, and fell dawn under continual shouts and !metes of the enemy's troops, 4 • arid from want of water the tire spread through Peter North,, Kannike, Pio), Skiden, Skinder, and, several other streets.
