Why will they persist in refusing this act of jasticel—Let them deign to bring for- Wnrd all their demands ns_so many conditions for the repose of the oations, and lit our concession to their vier. - s make part of a reciprocal treaty, and there will no longer be any diffieidties: " The Sovereigns do not, perhaps, suflicieutly remark the circle of etobarraesments and obsta cles in which they place both us - and themselves. Ve require good order to second them, anti their explanation to te-establish good order. Are they desirous of sacrifices which require tepartitions and prompt obedience ? It is only requisite for this purpose, that the authority of your Majesty should be full and entire ; nothing is possible, no thing can be executed, if peace does not exist in reality, at least provisionally, and far from be ing in a state of peace, we experience all the ca lamities of war. " Let the Sovereigns bestow at least some at tention to their own interests. When every thing shall be ruined and. devastated around their ar mies, how will they find means of subsistence ? is there no danger in dispersing the troops All arms will not he taken away, and arms of all sorts are murderous in the hands of despair. Wit, re spect to warlike contributions, what new sacri fice can he detuars.ded where every thing has al ready been destroyed by the soldier % With re spect to .armed force, when once discipline, is re laxed, it is not easily re - established. Germany is far from expecting, after aglo rious campaign, to receive hack her soldiers, cor tuptedby .a spirit of licentiousness, rapine, and pillage. " This war _ought to have been in every re spect distinguished front others, instead of imi tating and surpassing in Prance the • excesses a g ainst which the Sovereigns took up netts. their glory even be satisfied On our part we have done whatever they desired ; and on their part, every thing which had been ,announced to the world is fulfilled, "one point excepted, NVbat a contrast' between what is actually passi!.; i4nd their solemn promises I. This is the age of reason and justice, anti the. public opinion never had more power. Who can explain such excessive evils after such promises of moderation ? The .pre sent war was undertaken to serve the cane o f legitimacy. Is this manner of carrying on war calculated to render the authority of your Majesty more sacred ? " They were desirous of punishing the indivi dual who sported with the calamities of nations, and they it itict on France the saute violence, the same inhumani? y. It was thought by ap Europe that the entry of the Sovereigns ioto Paris would put an.end to the war. ' What will be thought on learning that it was then only that the exces,,es of oppression commenced without . combats, and without resistance. The evils which we ate re"- proached with having inflicted on others, were never so great ; they never took ph'ee when the use cif arms bad no object ; and though • it %vete trite, that we had given the first examples of such an abuse of force, aught they to imitate what they impute to us as a crime It•is known in the North, is known in /rave. birth to energy, awl public spirit to our i.:;!emiev:There :it'll' Ito tooger be any eta' :0 the evil: of hanqinit Y, If Mittual seugeances arc t 6 become the rule of War, fornations never die.

Though torn by parties, yet the instinct which writes them is still stronger than party-hatred. The hurthens imposed upon them, though 'ex- tremely vcrcations to their vanity, strengthen daily the spirit M i .. resistance. Then there is the army which, tisoi,gl► dejected, is not dissolved, and which ' has placed Davonst at his head, till they find a better leader, whose happier Star; as they, think, may lead them on to glory. This army had in appearance subrßitted to the King, but really served him in no respect whatever.— In the provinces occupied by the Allies, the National Guards were not disarmed, and in Lorraine and Alsace the bands of partisans were increased by the deserters from the army. Hence l i the Jacobins looked forward to republican Vend6es in the Pyrennees, the Vosges, the Cevennes, and the Alps. Amidst all' this, the real .effective strength of the Government was in the hands of the Bnonapartists, at the head of whom was POuche., The writer then proceeds, to express his opinion, that all this would be of little cpnse quence, provided the Allies were chiefly anxious about the occupation of the fortressu; which would furnish a security against possible consequences, and afford much more real strength than the most active measures of police. The Prussian., he as , sects, had laboured much to attain this object, though they had been counteracted by the efforts of diplomacy, and hence, truce s - h a d b een con cluded with many fortified places, m ere l y t h at a ll the military stores might be preserved. Wish this view alone, the white flag been hoisted in many places; and even yet the fortress of Hun ingc-.1 presented the extraordinary spectacle of a Commandant holding out against all the Allies Ixvith'the King, and from time to time firing upon the unoirending town of Basle. 1 The Rhenish Mercury contains the following 1 copy of a letter to Field-Marsllai BLUCHE R :-.-. ; .-- , ~ .iarts , ion-Li ,. otrie, LCIIIIIOII, July to, I els. 1 Si rt,--I hare the distinguished honour to communicate to your Highness the Vote of Thanks.of the City of London ~, of the ;111 inst, in which they express the high sense of their ac ; litiowiedgrnents for the important awl efficacious services . wit cli wet•C performrti by your Excellency, a n d t h e prussian •I nay under your command, in the met:notable victory of Wa terloo over file French army. i I c annot. express to your Flightless him proud I feel in be ing commissioned by my tellow-citizens thus respectf u lly to ConVey i to you they sentiments, in which I Tully-particii,4l, .

There are no French Papers to-day, but in their absence we are happy •to be enabled to lay before our Readers several Communications from the Continent, which are of unusual importance in deve!oping its political situation—a situation more pregnant with good or evil to the world, and more worthy of general consideration, than has ever been presented even in the critical war like contests on which we have hung with such in . tensity of interest-. FRANCE. We have recent private letters from Paris, which, together with our other communications from. that country, now reach us very tardily and irregularly (excepting such correspondence ,as conics imme diately within . the influence of our own admirably conducted Post Office), in consequence of ,the in terruptions and restrictions to which the French Mails are subject. The Military rost from Paris goes out only once a week, and we, not %mire qUently, receive, as we have done to-,day, the cOr respontlence of nearly a Whole week together.— From this arrival we can Only select a few notices, which will, however, be found to poSsess great interest, and to be, in every respect, of public itiwort ance. 'lt is mentioned in a letter of the 17th that King Josgru has been taken, and, most characteristi cally;h in a cellar.. As-the report also adds that he %vas wonalled by a bayonet, it is evidently the same which has already reached ns, with the ex planation that the person so captured was MARET and not the Bottle King. _ _ Another letter says = " The Army of the Loire is still in great force, and although many other fortresses have hoisted the %vhite flag, they are still held by Frenchmen,. and wherever they arc, I have little reliance on their With or oaths, and ‘vili donht them. Ilritish troops continue to arrive, and Montmartre is covered with them. There are various reports of movements in the army, &c. bat nothing is certainly fixed." The following is strange and important intelli gence for the Editor of a London Newspaper to receive from Paris ; it is; nevertheless, a part of our Correspondence, and, from the rank and in formation of the writer, we hai:e no doubt of its being well founded. It corroborates our worst fears respecting _the disheartening state of our East Indian Empire : " hirty reg,iments are to he sent immediately to 'lndia, which are to be made 1000 strong each, by volunteering, which is to be permitted front those regiments Which-are not ordered.—New re giments arc also to be raised for India service, but whether in Britain or in India I have not heard." _ • " Puri., Zug. IS. " I have reason to believe that the intentions. to Make a speedy movement_ among the troops have been again deferred, owing probably to the distracted state of Parties here, and to the vio lence too often publicly exhibited. Some soldiers have been assassinated, as it is supposed , by the Pa risians. They were chiefly PruSsians, but several British havc; also been murdered. British Officers havebeen repeatedly assaulted, but in every instance which has come to my knowledge, the citizens had better have been quiet, for they suffered se verely fOr their insolent trmerity. it might not be prudent in me to specify some things of that description e. the assassinations) Mat which I haVe been made acquainted : it ,is said, however, that three Or four Prussian soldiers are almost every evening found dead. , " " Par's, Aug, 17.
