THE NATIONAL GUARD OF AtititN S TO ALL TIf E NATIOSTAL GUARDS OF THE liINGDONi. " At atnoment when Buonaparte, putting in operatibn all that remains to him of fantastic means, wishes by an arbitrary and despotic act to compel us to take the most infamous part that ever was heard of, and to support an usurped throne, we take our honout, the country, and the King to witness, that no one shall ever be able to make us arm in defence of a man whom hell in its wroth hath vomited front iis gulphs. • lire are, it is said,. menaced by an inval.ion of enemies— No, they are our friends: they-e.me to restore to France its legitimate Sovereign, of whom the tre:'.soi; of the army has deprived it. Who was it that recalled Buonaparte to France ? Who Were they who betrayed their King in order tO place oh the throne this i. , lle.proscript ? It Svas the army, Well, ttien let the army defend hi m; suc h a re t h e sentiments of ,the IS'a tional Guard: Buonaparte says that the Banrboni are bring- ing foreigners into France. What 'if he had not came to. defile our soil, we should stilt have been at peace with alt Europe. 6' Selmstiapi is coming to make us take up arms. We all, swear that if thiS satellite of Buonapart e enter our wails with pro-consular poWers, and with the design to organise so de grading a measure, lie shall there find the chastisement due to his crimes ; and woe to the traitors who shall dare to se cond his infamoui projects ! " The rallying cry of the National Guards is, " Live the King ! Live the Bourbons ! Death to the tyrant, and the bri gands who have supported him in his criminal enterprise !" " Frenchmen, the day approaches when you will see float ing on all your towers the White Fiag, the flag without stain, the symbol of bappinesS. ." LIVE THE KING!" THE NEW POST OFFICE. At length the Report of the Select Committe€ upon this matter, so import a nt not only to the Metropolis but to the whole Commercial \Vorld, has been laid before Parliament. There perhaps never was a Report More honourable to a Public Establishmqnt thanthe present: it confirms to the utmost every statement which has been produced to show the expediency, we might say the neces sity, of the proposed removal of this adicirably matiliged branch of the Revenue, not only for the further benefit of the Finance of the Country, but for the great advantage of business, and, the general accommodation of the Public. The fol lowing paragraphs (page 9 of the Report) may. be considered as decisive of 'the nature of th'e pro jected alterations ; the plan appears to be most eligible and excellent, and must meet with uni versal approbation : c€ Attaching- reat_importance to the convenience of the Foreign Merchants, the Committee ccolicl not h.o - e r,•ccon mended. the removal of the Post-Office in a greater distance from the seat of their business, if all their reasonable than., had not been obviated bv the !tan •c4f aSoktsitti.rry Office in Lombard-street or its immediate vicinity. " The intersects of the Foreign Merchants being thus pro vided for, and the expense of rebuilding a ne,%v Office on the Present Site in Lombard-stteet appearinc , to be greater than that o f erecting one on the proposed scale in St. Martin's- le- Grand, the Committee arc disposed to approve thi, removal, for the more g enera t conven i ence o f the Metropolis."

" - It is bOtied and be' lieVed that the, rumonr of the Duke of BEDFORD'S murder, as sated in the French papers, has, pioceeded-trom a misconception and mistranSlatiOn ccf the Italian word .a.ssassinizire, or assassinato, which inthatlatignage (.1;oes not mean murdered, but only stopped, :or robbed. , The pro bability is, that the Gens (rartnes would be mur dered by - the Banditti vvho attacked his Grace, as Gens ,d'armes and robbers byprofesSion never spare each other ; but that his• Grace would be Wondered, and his person remain uninjured.-- Agreeably to this interpretation, an Aide-de- Camp of muRAT's is Sitidl to have readied ‘ thia o cuntit, who reports, ,that before his departure from Italy, he conversed wi h another Aide-kle . Caulp, who actually saw the attack from tile top of an adjoining hill, but was unable to . afford firnelu assistance '; but tifterwards, saw the Duke proceediq; vii his way to Naples. The four Gens (rarities and two postillions were killed.'' —(Times.) . " We have the most satisfaction in stat ing, that a Gentle Man is arrived in triwn from Italy, who saw an Aide- , de,-Camp of th e Ki ng o f NAPLES at Bologna on the 12th April, and re ceived from him the asstirattce that the Duke was of BEnFoBn was unhurt in the ar . .,ick matte on his equipage by banditti.

In England alone are the sick-----the infant—the aged—and the distressed assisted by public charities ;--supported by pub lie funds, and protected and cherished by ti.e un known stranger. Humanity and 'liberality - are the digni:ied and_proud features of Englishmen. Though often reproached by- the envious _fo reigner, as a mercenary and money-getting peo ple, they are complete spendthrifts in benevo lence,- and active in works of charity. Here only is to he seen enntiation between the Nubility and Gentry in being first on' the lists of humanity ; and in contending for pre-eminence in the stip pf!rt Of public institutions. His Royal Highness the Duke of KE:IT has often been seen o n such ; and has frequently advocated , the cause of- his nutortunat'e countrymen: On the fourth of May he is to preside at-the Annirersnry Meeting of the Literary Fund : and as he' will be supported by several distinguished Noblemen and Gentlemen, it is exoected that sonic effective measures will ,he adopted in behalf of that truly laudable and usetul establishußnt.

Earl GREY said, t heir Lordships would recollect,' ' that a !ervdays ago, previous to. his giving notice of a motion on the subject of our existing rela tions with , the . Governnient of Naples,. and On which the Lordsstood summoned for to-Morrow, Le had, put some questions to a Noble Lord. To these; his not receiving a'satisfactory answer, was the Cause Of his having given notice of a motion, Previous to his bringing it-on, however, lie ht.ggetl feave to ask that Noble:. Lord, ‘vhether he now deemed it consistent With his duty to give certain eliplatiatiOnson the subject ; and, in that view, he, would trouble him but on two points. First, Whether we were actually at war wilt Naples . and if So, whether, as was customary, any com munication would be made to Pailiament on the subject And secondly, if we were n o t a t war , whether any discussions Were now going forward, or likely to take place between us and drat Go vernment, friim which it might be hop e d th at hos tilities may be avoided ? ' The Earl of LIVERPOOL, in answer to what fell - frotir the Noble Earl, stated,, that their Lot d- Ships may be aware an armistice had been con cluded between Marshal Murat and the Com mander in Chief of . his Majesty's forces in that quarter. With reference to this, a notice. ,bad been given by the latter to Marshal Murat, that if he should coriritit !.ny hostile acts against his Majesty's Ally, he should consider it as a breach .of the armistice between the two countries. Whe ther any hostile steps had occurred between- the British and the Neapolitan forces he could no say ; but from what had taken place on the part of the latter, the armistice was considered to be at an end. With- respect to the second point, whether there were any discussions going on be tween the two Countries for the establishment of peace, he cool(' not, say therewere any rie;!ocia" tions going on at the present that could' render the _ . notice of the Noble Lord nugatory. • Gn.a.Y relrlied, that he understood from the Noble ',Ord that hostilities were now actually vived between the two countries. But their Lord= ships Ivould ii.'coliect, that we had been in effect at pe a ce' with I)►e Government of Naples , foe the last twelve n►unths ; and that, from the statement of the Niible Lord, the necessity followed of a regular dechration that a state of hostility wat renewed. Ile thought therefore rhat a Gontninni , ca(ion should be made to Parliament on the sub- jcct ; and or, which ocedsion ; ;lisuLy,,,ion on the merits 61 the case ‘vould prefevalily agaju asked if anv such commuujeatiou was • • tended? The'R.i . i of lavEiirobi. had not received any command to wake such a COlMllllttkiitioft. Earl GUI; Y then 'asked, were it probable that such a-communication wotdd be male ? and (alter a trord or two'from the Noble Earl act•uss the. table, in an under• voice,) proceeded to observe, it ap . pcured very extraordinary to 'him, that no communication should be made. to. Parliaame►►t, in a case, where though Ito for►nal neace had been made; a state ot• hostility was avowedly entered into. Lord NIELVILLE laid on the Table Papers fro-110110 M. iniraity. • The Marquis of LANiDOWN t'eliarged the order for summoning tlbe House on the discussion of the MU fur bet et securing titt: ~iherty of the Subject, anal rentwed it for to- Inorrow se'lmight. GAOL FEES. The Marquis of LANSDOWN, in.the absence of a- Noble Friend, moved the committal of the awl Fees Bill: The House accordingly went into the said Committee; an.l Lord ELLENBOROt'<iII nor - pl.:aced a clause to protect _ Sherin again.O a liability to plyas io case of an escape, which he Nvas sublect to und.fr the Bill as it tiwit stood. The clause - was agreed to. _ _ 'rite Marquis. of •BUCKENVI- 1 / 4 111 remarked, that there was a clause to exempt the City Prisons ; the - King's Bench and Palace Caul - is, •from the operation of the Bill. He was of ophlion; before the flonsc could agree to that exemptioh they should see. the Report of Committee of the I-lous,e oftonnuons, appointed to inquire into the Fees of those Gools.• The LORI) CHANCELLOR adverted to the donations in. the City Prisons, and, observcd. if. in those prisons.nu fees were paid, the consivience would be, that the City Prisons would constantly be as full as they could hold. His Lordship stiggeytvd the propriety of introducing a distinct measure tor the regulation of Prisons exempt, rather than load the Bill with clauses. • 'The Ma'rquii of LANSDOWN acquicleed in the Noble and I:vat - lied Lord's sutt , ' - e4iort. • ' - • The Marquis of BUCKINGHAM then intlinated, that he should wove nr for the report, to ,which he had al luded.—The House then adjourne.l. 1 HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Sir Wm, CUaTIS stated, that he held a Petition, signed by the Lord Mayor, and the Liverymen of Loudon, not a sentiment of which coincided with Lis awn. •As it. had been given him by his Con,- stituents, i)o‘L'QVCr, be thought it his duty to pre_ ,sent it. He cousidered,ialso his duty, however, to inform the House, thAt ,some - part of be Peti tion might be regarded upplying to the Property Tix, that the linse'might.4now what course it was to pursue.
