We do not Think by the King, but we do think by some of his Ministers. It could., scarce= ly have been otherwise, and what a picture does, this offer to Franee,•to a country so unsettled that it wants nothing. more than 7 firm, united; and vigorous administration. We have often seen in this Country the ill effects of a divided. Ca billet, and experience teaches us, that even ru inous of Ministerial Changes produce bad con sequences. What, then, must it do in un stable France, with all her conflicting, pas sions and parties yet in agitation ? ; must, sisake the confidence of the Friends of Order, and augment•the presumption of the Factious, to see a kinister or Ministers thwarting the designs of Go vernment, and every day to bear of clashing and differences among the responsible advisers of the Crown. France had better haie any Ministry, te it Ult ra-Royalist, Royalist, or Jacobinical, than the present discordant medley of all kinds. It is the " All the Talents" of that Country, sontl we sadly know what sort, of an union, such an union is. The report that Louts XVIII. is " going to ennfer honours on the British Army," is reviver!, arid it is affirmed that the Orders are to be distri buted amongst those Officers who were at the bailie of Waterloo, and who held military situa tioos in Paris. We'llope that they wilt not, if efrered, accept this tardy acknowledgment ; we deny that French Orders would be any honour to rritish Warriors ; and we question the propriety of a King of France bestowirig-Stars and Ribbons en Foreign Soldiers for drubbing French Men— . appropriate name could be given to the new chivalry ? Nut the ,Legion of Honour, for the distinction whs acquired by vanquishing the Legionaries of that degraded title. Not of the Noly,Ghost, for it would be a mockery to Here tics who had sent so many good Catholic:lts to their last. abode.

Some of the last American Papers coolly specti- late.opon the necessity of a total extinguishment of the Creek. Indians, in order to render them no, longer troublesome to the Americans ! That in deed is one way. " Dead men tell no talea."—; It is said that they oppose the establishment of the boundary line. It trenches npnn their native soil they allege. , Between the Western frontiers of Georgia and South Carolina and.the Banks of the M 7 ssisiplsi, there is -a large tract ,of coin), try inhabited by tt ibes of lndian4". One: of these is the tribe of Creek . Indians, which tin- happily for themselves, is• the nearest in point of contact to the Americans of the State of Tenes4ee. It scents to he the ,policy of America to stretch her already overgrown territories trite to the Mississippi- 7 a policy which cannot he complete ly executed without the termival of thOse In dians that still inhabit• the country an the East of the 11ississippi. Where will you stop ?" said a Creek warrior—;" Yow have - made us 'remove from the lands of our forefathers, which were on the bank, of the great waters (the se:t)- , --our feet had but just ceased being tseary with fatigue, and our heads had just laid down to , *at nu our new lands, when von still further en croached upon us—and now you big us begin our . journey again. But some of our chietl are worn down with age, and our mothers are old,, and' want rest, and we would have a settled home. — Better would it be to put an end to all of us, so. .that .ttnr blood should no longer run it) the veins , of any living creature." This affecting lament, this counsel of despair, given by the Indian IVarrior, Coolly recompienfled in an article in one of those American Papers There appears to be a per versenefs in that tribe that mi.nat sooner or later ter»:inate in the total extinguishment of it, and as. the recrut clemency of our troops seems to have been misunderstood, it is prohable such measures will be •taken as, will remove all cause for future drafts of the militia fur the purpose of preserving peace oih that frontier.'!:.

On Saturd:ty last, 'tone of tire most serious floods took place in tire river Tyne, that has happened since n _the, year I' %viten the old bridge front this fawn to Gateshead, with a number of honses on that e'reetion were carried away.

Tii»beri boats, keels, casks, hay, arc. &c. were brought down in rapid Succession ; and a cottage house that stood contiguous to the river, together with some byers fur cattle, lite. we hear, were tos totally swept from their situations. The accumu lation of articles Was so great at our bri Ige. that serious apprehensions were formed at one time for that uoble structure ; end bad it not possessed moreahan usual strength, theme is little doubt bat' we should have .witnessed the destruction of part . of it. Three of the arches next the south end were • almost totally choaked 'with keels and rafts of tim ber,for the whole, of Saturday, and it was with the utmost difficulty.that they were removed. Alm. other,areh Wag also completely closed to the north end, where a keel was laid across, with her head 'and stern resting on two of the jetties., A MAU and a boy, who went with others to entlaavour ter get her off, were drowned. All the low rooms and cellars in this town contiguous to the river were completely hoopla* ; many of the publi cans in the Close and on the Q.tay have suffered 'severely ; the cellars of the Custom-honse were also tilled, as well as those of severaVpotatoe. dealers ; and the engines were emnployett till late un SatUrdky z isight iu emptying the places into which the water had flowed. A number of keels were carried to the'sea, on board sonic of which were one, two, and three Ininds.—ln short, the calamity has been genevel. The effects of the gale and thaw have been equally disastrous at Shields. Our correspondent says, " On Friday evening, about six o'clock, se veral vessels ut the head of Shields harbour were set adrift by the pressure of ice, and it beginning to blow violently about eleven., a great number parted from their anchors, attd Were driven upon the fierri Sand ; but all of them have since been got off. '1%.v0 ships were driven outto sea, end several kells, six of which, were seen off Flambro' .1-lead on Saturday. Fourteen ships loot trek bow sprits, and were otherwise much datnaged.

We hear, that by the violence of the current its South Tyne, .two of the arches of Ilaydon bridge have been' destroyed. Great damage bas been done by this storm, on the banks of Wear and Tees,. During the gale on Friday night, a windmill, near Bishopswearmouth, run einein, took lire from the ftiCtion, and was totally destroyed.— (Newcastle Mn'cuiy) ' • Owing to the rapid thaw of 'the snow, on Fri-, day last, the waters of the river Irwell also rose. in the evening, very tepidly, till t between two end three o'clock on Saturday morning; it stood tine:: inches higher than the great flood in 1675, the greatest in ,the memory of the oldest inhabitant of Manchester.
