Though they live under a form of Government probably- more arbitrary_ than the most oppressive ever established by Louts the' Fourteenth, they do not seem to wish to have modified into the form of a limited Monarchy by tht restoration of the Bouttsot4s, an event that it is na tural to suppose will work itself out in process of time, When the Royal Family are mentioned, with a great deal of sang froid it is remarked, qu'il n'y a plus d'esperance pour euX." This apathy and indifference are not easily accounted for, and can only be resolved into this—that their mani fold sufferings have obtunded their better feelings, and rendered their minds callous to a sense of their situation. Should this indifference continue through out the present generation, the next, educated in new habits, and impressed with new prejudices of education artfully calculated td produce such an ef : fed, may become genuine, staunch Republicans, who (judging from the only standard we have, the page of History) will naturally, in time, operate the IC formation of a Monarchy. Had BONAPARTE restored the BOURBONS, the dark side of his character would have been relieved by . the splendour of such a brilliant action ; but as his own personal ambition manifests itself daily more and more, he must be content to possess little of the resped of the wisest, and best part of rtsari kind, while he holds a situation in the scale of created beings, to which uncommon good fortune, aided by talents, has elevated hit from a station of 'mediocrity and insignificance unparalleled in history. —We must look to ourselves. Whether the BOUR BONS or B O NAPARTE are on the throne, or in power, the danger from aggrandized France is the same.— ' This Power has increased; is increasing, and ought to be diminished." England alone cannot altogether effect this : a period will arrive, when Europe will see. her dangtr. Russia will take the lead by land, England will ad powerfully by sea, and France will be reduced to a moderate extent, 'influence and system : all this is, , probably, in the womb of time. In the mean time, the Peace that has been. made, was a sound, wise, and' politic measure, to enable us to recruit our strength, and meet with full vigour a- farther struggle that will ultimately, though not immediately, take place. BONAPARTE does not wish to go to War. The interest of his personal ambition, So very dear to him, and those of his empire, would not be promoted by a war for which he is not prepared. If he wishes for war, he will endeavour to render England the aggressor, that the war may be unpopular, and ..that the olms odliof it may rest on our shoulders. Our Minister is highly respeded abroad : his moderation and firmness are equally known. His talents, like those of his most able predecessor, are of the very first rate description, None better than him knows the value of the blessings of Peace ; but if forced into a War, an event not at all Pro bable, he will possess the fullest confidence of the Nation in demonstrating the necessity of a measure that will be induced alone by unavoidable necessity. The Moniteur places France in a hostile, threatening attitude. Our 'Minister is placing England in one a t once steady and defensive. The Liberty of our Press, like the bulwarks of our Freedom, the Bill of Rights, the Mutiny and Habeas Corpus Ads, &e. Sce. cannot be done away. If the French Go. vernment feels galled, aggrieved, and annoyed by the freedom of inquiries and public writings of this Country, and if their system can bear probing to the bottom, let them appeal to a British Tribunal, where upright, independent judges will interpret the Law with candour and ability, and where • enlightened honest juries will give impartial v.erdids. I fre. qttently, when abroad,' took occasion to mention Mr. PITT'S name, to ascertain the estimation' in which he was held. It is readily acknowledged that his vigorous measures saved England at ,a criti cal moment ; that his integrity is only equalled by his abilities ; and that in Finance he has not his equal. His great opponent, they also say, is on triis grand Orateur, et aussi on . hotnme de beaux talens."—lf the very hairs ofpur heads are numbered, and if a sparrow does not fall to the ground 'without the knowledge of that -Bring who rules over all, a fortiori must we conclude, that for wise and inexplicable purposes, not-to be fathomed by limited human faculties, the Ruler of France has been raised from the dust, to one of the most emi nent stations on earth. This being the case, let us say with Mr. PITT, that whatever may be our opi nion of the man, deduced from his alions, we ought to treat him with the language of respell due to the situation he occupies. The acrimo ny and 'virulence with which this distinguished Personage is treated in some of our Public Prints, indicate envy and fear, more than justice and partiality. Let. us own that his accession to power has put a period to scenes of cruelty and bloodshed on scaffolds, and to the prosecution of domestic distress. I send you these loose Remarks, written without any particular method or arrangement, that you may_insert them in your valuable Paper, should you deem them worthy of any attention.

Crl Monday evening, between eight and nine o'clock, as Mr. CHARNOCK, of Brunswick-row, Westminster, was passing akrng the top of the Bird cage-walk, he was suddenly knocked down by two men, armed with bludgeons, supposed . to be Sol. tilers.

The t‘vo Governments have agreed that the ceremony of the entry of the AmbassadorS of France, observed at the begiquing of the iBth.Century, in regard to the English and French Ambassadors, shall take place for the fu ture; but that at the audience of M.

After• the audience, the President of the Government, accom panied by the Messengers of State, and other Offi cers of the Council of Stare, went in their carriages to the Ambassador's Hotel to congratulate him. The Corps Diplomatique,, the Generals, and the Members of the Government, went • there a little after to pay their visit. The livery of the Minis,. ter, on account of the mourning of his farriily, was green, frogs, embroidered with gold fringe. The deficit in the -receipt for the wants of the State will amount, in the year I 8 03, to seventeen millions. ALEXANDRIA, AUG. 17. WE are anxiously expeaing the arrival of Gene ral STEWART from Constantinople, in hopes he will bring us orders for quitting this country, of which we are all heartily tired. These barbarians, the Turks, now regard us with the utmost hatred and jealousy, and if our force was any way diminished, we should have every, thing to apprehend from them. They have already stabbed several of our soldiers, and one of our. sentries was killed on his post, in endeavouring to proted an Arab woman from one of the Turks, whO was going to offer her violence. The offender was seized, and proved to be one of the green turban gentry, the descendants of Mahn. met, whose persons are-reckoned sacred ; notwith standing which, Lord CAVAN insisted upon his be ing publicly strangled, which was done, as usual,. with the bow-string - Our Army, which amounts to about 4.000 u2n, are extremely healthy none have died'of the pli,goe since the 17th of June last, and except the loth Re. ginsent, very few of the troops have the opthalmia. The Mamelukes are still in great. forcc, particu larly about Ghiza, and have already defeated the Turks in several severe skirmishes with consider_ able loss, and, I am convinced, will drive them out of Egypt soon after we skill have left it. .The ,only Fort which we have retained in our pOssession is Fort Cretid, near Alexandria. The chief part of the Turkish Army is at - Rosetta, to which place they were removed from Alexandria, on the remonstrances of Lord CAVAN, to prn;ent the consequences` that m ight arise from the ill will that'subsi§ted between there and our troops. . PETEKSBURGH, Ocr. 26. His . Imperial'Majesty this day, went on board the new Ship of the Line hunched last week, which lies now in the Neva at anchor, and was pleased to express his perfet satisfaction at every part of it.— This beautiful ship carries tio guns, and is called the Gawvil (or Gabriel.) On the z7th of September, the anniversary of the Emperor's Coronation, then monument erected in Kiew to Prince WOLODOMI a was opened. It is ereeted on the very spot where this. Prince, after his conquest of the Tauric Chersonesus (now Cri mea), in the year•9B9, and after having been him self baptized, not only converted his people to Christianity, but .as an example to them, and as a proof of his . devotion, baptized his own children in a fountain: The stone monument consists of Doric pillars, .32 feet high. Within these pillars is a font,, and on the side of the pillars are two inscriptions—the one " to Prince WOLODOMIR, the enlightener of Russia ;" the other is " out of gra titude for the confirmation of the ancient, privi leges of this capital, by the Emperor ALEXANDER I. Sept. 27, 18oz." The ceremony of the opening was performed with much pomp and solemnity. An express going to Paris carries a letter, in the Emperor's own hand, to the FIRST-CONWL, who had proposed to our Monarch to accede to the Con vention of the sth of September. The Ambassadors of England and France have lately delivered to our Ministers an official note, in which they unite in praying the Emperor to accept the,guarantee of the Order of Malta. It is als6 observed, that they have very frequent conferences with the Second Minister of State, Prince CZARTOVYSKI, who is usually present at the conferences of the High Chancellor with the Fo reign Ministers, and is obliged to lay a Report be fore His Imperial Majesty every morning at nine o'clock.

PRINCE WILLIAM FR E DER IC, gOn of the Reign:. ing Duke of Brunswick, who had been affianced to the Pi NoEss MARIA EL! ZAB ETH,;Of Baden, since the rzth of June last, arrived at ,Carlsruhe on the 3oth ult, where the Marriage was celebrated on the Ist inst. Letters from Vienna 'of the 3d inst. announce, that the Dutchess Dowager of PARMA, a relative of the - Emperor's, and an immediate desceßdant from MARIA THERESA, Queen and Empress of Hun gary; had been requested, in a note from t h e p r e sent. French Administrator General,' of the Dutchies of Parma, Placentia, and GuAstalla, to leave her resi dence of Parma and the Dominions of her late Con. sort, • With this note she immediately complied ; and she has since arrived, 'with her family, at Ve, nice ; from which place, after a short stay, she will go to Vienna. Another Shock of an Earthquake, 'more, violent than . the former, was felt at Strasburgh on the Bth inst. at half past eleven at night. Married, this morning, at Windsor, the Rev. J Q HN WILLIAMS, M. A. of Plaktol, Kent, to Miss RICHARUSON, only 'Daughter of Major-General HARDSOI<7, of the former place.' The Vestry RooM and Alms-houses on the East side of Sr. Clement's Church-yard are now removed, and have opened a very pleasing view of tile body of St. Clzinent's Church on entering the Strand from Fleer-street. A SINGULAR EVENT.-There is•a person at Li x,erpool, of the Jewish persuAon,.who.having mar ried a youpg worn In of (he Christian church, by whom he,had a child, which last week died, appli- Cation was made to the heads of the Synagogue, for the burial of this child in their ground, to which Henry hid long been a subscriber, but resisted, on the ground' of Henry's having by his marriage for leited.the rights of the Jewish church. Henry, nevertheless, prevailed upon the person resident at the Synagogue, to deposit the child privately in the burial ground. Near three weeks elapsed, when, upon the, demise of another child a grave Was dilg, -when lo .the recent deposit was discovered I In quiry was set on. foot, and she fad ascertained--"the Heads of the Synagogue were called together, when it was resolved that the coffin - and . corpke should be returned to Henry by the beadle.' Henry, apprisd of these :movements, was prepared withdconstat4e, and on the approach of the beadle with his charge, he was taken into. custody, and lodged in Bride well, where. he remained the whole of that night the next day.the beadle and the persons who order ed the removal of the corpse were examined before the Mayor at the Exchange, where they were justly reprimanded, and two Constables accompanied the Beadle to the burial ground, where the body of the infant was replaced in the same grave from whence it had been removed. ' A claim was on Tuesday laid before the Sifting Alderman, at Guildhall, in which it was stared, that a Member of the United -British Benefit Society, deceased, had bequeathed, by will, to a Mr. Andrews, the sum of 50 guineas, the sum -to which any nominee the deceased might .think proper to will it to was entitled by the articles of the Society. Mr. AGAR attended as Counsel for the claimant in this case, and read to the Magistrates the specific article in the rules of the Society, by which any member, not having a wife or child living., hod a right to will the money arising from the Society in consequence of his being a subscriber, to any per son he should think proper. The will Mr. AGAR produced, and cc , ntended that it was, to all intents and purposes, a good will ; bat confessed, that in consequence of the deceased not having died possessed of persona; or other property,, it was nor proveable in an Ecclesiastical Court ; that the father of the deceased, or some of his Creditors, might claim the payment of this money whenever they chose to- administer ; but, in reply to this, he said, the Cusiness in question was a mere rnat!e of contingency, and that the deceased, during his life, could not. possibly have become possessed of a farthing of it, consequently it could not come , under the denomination of assets, and therefore could not be claimed by any •person who might choose to adMinister, when a will had been ieft ; though that will had not been, nor was it necessary it should be proved. In the present case it was sufficient there was a will, to which none of the relatives of the deceased, who were joint Legatees with Mr. Andrews, objected ; on the contrary, he had letters from them, requesting it Andrews, so soon as he had received • the money, to remit them their reipe6tive shares. Mr. Alderman NEWNHAM said, that, cn con suiting his Brother Magistrates, they were of opi nion, that though the Aift specifically called upon them. to determine cases of this nature, yet it would be too much for them to become Judges of the will, as well as the liability of the Society ; therefore they conceived they could do no more than dirt the Treasurer, or whoever it was, of the Society, to pay the 5o guineas to Mr. Andrews, provided Mr. Andrews gave an indemnification to the So ciety, in case any other parties 'should bring -an action against the' Society for the recovery of the same money ; to which Mr. AGAR, on the part of his Client, acceded.
