I s 'sotto, was at least not liable to a change every three months, and the people, though shires,. were contented. This party was said to 'he headed by the Princes."—sThe second was that of the Constitutionalists ; a large . and powerful body, _but ignorant, inactive, unable to fix on any decisive object, and supposed to be at once recruited by men of violent views, and guided by leaders who used them as the mere step to their personal aggrandisement.—The third worked more in secret; adroit, regardless- of human feeling, practised in blood, and still more effective, from its ancient intercourse with the dark machinery of the State. The Republicans were without an ostensible leader. But they had the art to per suade the people, that they found protection near the Throne, and the Duke of Orleall3 and Fouche were alternately hell up, as they chose to win partizans among the simply dissatisfied or among the Wholly desperate.—This was the state of France two months since. I have been cob!, that the whole fabric has since •nearly incited down, and that, with the exception of the Jacobins, whose structure, less exposed to sight, and living ,rather in the hearts of vicious and ruined men, than in any shapes of public action, is less mor tal, all has sunk into discontent and disunion.— The crisis is difficult, bat a Roble and masculine mind on the throne could not desire a finer scope for its triumph. France is like a country over blown by a hurricane. She is covered with ruins, and must retain their traces for a long time, but the seeds of purification and fertility have found ample room. The peolde are broken to all their higher dualities, by the repeated violences of the visitation. The, sky is at this moment clear over their heads, but they dare not venture to trust to it, and continue looking out from the . same wretchedness of mind and condition, for the coming of new storms, which they expect as if they must come by ad inflexible necessity, and await as if humanprecaution or provision would be only so much toil thrown away. . But the King is a Frenchman, and like every Freuelonan, has '' son systerne." Burke said, and wisely said, that the Government which would reduce the disturbed ambition of the French, anibt be a Government always on horseback. The King's conception seems to be different, the art of ad ministering a great kingdom is here compressed into speeches about the " Bun People," anti the " Bon Henri," daily prayers at the Royal, accompanied by Kreutzer on the violin, the play of profligates of one party against profligates of another, the conciliation of the gentle nature of Jac . Obinism by piace and reward, and the studious display of a kind of,paltry mediation between the people and the Allies.. This may be true or false, but it is the public idea. It is impossible iu Fr:itice - to know the truth on any national sub ject, but it is at least the lie of the day. But you may rely on it, that the King's mercy, as he calls it,. is turned into complete contempt. Labedoyere was a low villain, anti deserved his death as much as any other unprincipled rebel. His death did not give a day's c o nv er s at i on to t h e co ff ee hoases. Ney would perish without any interest beyond that of his dying speech being hawked about for a centime. But the delay has been so gross as to be turned into ridicule, and the common cry-is, that the Kin g is afraid to execute justice upon the foul est traitor of the band. I have spoken merely of the opinion of Paris. It 'includes the opinion of all France. [Teo be continued,) EGYPTIAN RELIC. At the time of the happy events in 1813, M. CHARLES ROSELLI DE RosetvauGEL, the Austrian Consul-General at Cairo, took advantage of the first appearance of the Austrian flay in the ports of-the Adriatic sea to send to his Majesty one of the most curious Egyptian monuments, which is, perhaps, unique in its kind. It was formerly the cov.ering of the tomb of a Qu een or P r i ncess , whose colossal figure it represents, formed of a single block of basalt, and executed in the ancient Egyptian style. Five lines of hieroglyphics, in perfect preservation, would give important infor mationt concerning it, if they could be under stood. This monument is so very ancient that it is impossible.to have any knowledge 'of its•origin,• which is lost in the depth of ages. The Emperor, to acknowledge the attention of M. Roselli to the Cabinet' of Antiquities, and the constant fidelity with which this respectable old man, now 85 years of age, has served the state for above 50 years, amidst so many political vicissitudes, has, by a letter from Paris, conceived in the most gracious terms, conferred on him the Cross of Knight of the Order of Leopold. A young seal, about three feet in length, most beautifully spotted, was caught on the Sands at Ramsgate a few days back; it is now exhibiting to the public, apparently in a very healthy and lively state. • Valetudinarians must rejoice when they know that Dr. Coorea and three. Surgeons of 30 years experience in Strictures, .Fistulas; and Debilities, have established a Medical Board at Charlotte house-, Great Charlotte -street, opposite Rowland Hill's Chapel, Blackfriars'-road ; where the public are cured without salivation or confinement. The Institution claims the attention of those who have attempted to cure themselves, or who have con sulted illiterate men, whose improper treatment has ruined thousands. Eruptions on the head, face, and body, sore eyes, throat, mouth, and nose, noise in the ears, glandular swellings in the neck, deafness, dimness of sight, strictures, pains in the head and limbs, frequently mistaken for rheumatism, weakness in the knees, swelled an cies, &c. are symptoms which appear years after, and too often embitter the matrimonial state. — Messrs. Coo?zIt and Co. are consulted daily by all, ranks of people, frunt eleven till eight precisely, and give ad t ice gratis, on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday mornings,, till twelve o'clock. ---A pri vate door round the corner, AEMIVI t 3 AND ➢EL'hit't'UßE9, ARRIVALS.

GRAND WALKINn MATCH. The Siackheath Pedestrian continues ItiS la- boars, and yesterday, from his improved appear ance, very sanguine hopes were entertained of his success, He wears a green shade, or bonnet; on his head during the day, and though much annoyed by the crowd which press.upon him, he exhibited less app . earance of fat igue t hats hc did some days ago. The numbers which obstruct bins sOmetinies put hint much out of temper. On Wednesday he Was twice tripped up, and in the indignation of the moment he struck some of the persons near him. In consequence o f t hi s , a warrant was yest e r d ay Obtained by one of them, and attempted to he served on him—a circumstance which threatened an abrupt termination of the fish., by the removal of Wilson. This danger was happily averted, and the triveller was suffered to prp.ceed to the accom plishment of Isis arduous task. On the heath it was srid, (and it cannot be (killed that these gentry are all fond of fair play/), that the person who obtained the warrant was one W 1,13 had betted against the pedestrian, and who had pur posely provoked the blow, in order by this ruse to escape the loss with which he was menaced by WILSON'S expected succes. The Heath is com pletely a fair in every relect, and the dustymul titude upon it furnish a more curious than splctil did spectacle. At seven o'clock in the evening, Wilson was said to have walked 30 miles. His preceding task .was accomplished between two and three o'clock yesterday morning, arlien he was conveyed as usual to Mr. Dver'_ house, where he was attended by Mr. Lucas, the slO - geon; who on examinitig his pulse, and the general ,appearance of his body, declared his health to be unabated, although his fe e t were a good teal excoriated, and otherwise in a very bad sate. To counteract the effects of the letter affliction, he had recourse to bathing in salt and water; and having recited to rest, soon , forgot his cares in a sound sleep; in wh'ich he ge nerally remains till atvoke by his friends. 00i nionS as to his ultimate success, were yesterday as various as the preceding day ; hut,. upon the whole, we think the odds were against him. • When annoyed ou ‘Vednesday night. an expe dient was resorted to, wltich completely prevZmt ed a repetition of the violence to which We have alluded. Several persons followed the pedestrian with a pore Of about ten feet in length, which they carried in a horizontal position behind him. By this means the crowd was effectiially preclud= ed from closing upon him behind, while his sides were kept free by two parallel lines of rope, ex trOing from each endofthe pole to some distance before hint. The way in front was kept clear, . al though not without difficulty, by 'men provided with canter's whips and sticks, and thus escorted, he completed his twenty-ninth mile soon after 7 o'clock. He then haditis tea, and at 20 minutes before eight he re-commenced his labours. By this time the wind, by which he' had been previ ously so much. annoyed; had in a great degree abated, and the throng being lessened in number, he travelled with much more pleasure to himsulf... In proportion as the night dretv4lll; . and the throng dispeoed, our hero •imbibeo new spirits, and trudged it along as actively as if his. task had been but just commencing, instead of being one half accomplished. The night was so cold, that he found it necessary to arm himself against the chill atmos phere, by‘ wrapping. a warn) handkerchief 'round his neck.

Nun nostruuLtantas componere lites. As all forbidden treats have a sort of a relish, we suppose that the Duke's Coat will 3ell in its present form, though it could not be exposed on the Stage, aiid therefore deem it our duty as Re viewers to sa y a f ew wor d s upon• the sUbject, which is certainly not to threadbare as to forbid the attempt. The anecdote, it seems, belonged to a French theatrical piece entitled labit de Catinat, but the Licenser thought we had imported too many bad French habits olready, find positively refused to have Marshal Cutinars .coat fitted upon the Duke of. AVELLINoToN; or even upon his Aide-de— The Author is incensed at this squeam- Camp. ishness, and launches out in a tirade against any objection tohisbringingforward.the glorious name of outlier°. But perhaps the Licenser would say that this was not the ground of his objection : that i.e obj:cted to the piece, because Marshal Nay, for instance,, acts his natural character, the villain. in it, and there is some indecorum in thus display ing, a man upon the stage who might very pos sibly be hanged during the run of the piece, and be perforMing a very serious tragefly in Parii, while the• Galleries of London were laughing at his personator. The painful feelings attached to the losses in the recent battle too, might form another objection) but we are not bound t() enter upon this controversy. The plot is very simple. The Innkeeper at La Belle Alliance, his wife, and pretty darighter, have been a good deal incommoded by the can nonade of the armies, and the Inn has been al most knocked to pieces. The daughter's 'lover appears, and is rejected in consequence of the disordered state of affairs. An Aide-de-Catnp„ belonging to the Duke of WELLINGTON, Next ar rives at, the Inn, wet and hungry : he hangs his coat to dry at the are, is mistaken for the Duke himself, dispatches Henry (the lover) for a Bri• tish guard, to convey some - dispatches, drinks some wine will) mine host, and retires to rest.— Then comes Marshal NEV . , who is informed that the Duke is alone in th e I nn . H e imme diately plots to retrieve the fortune of the day, goes to a - French post, which he had left in a barn, and orders them to seize •the person whom, they shall find at the Inn in a British uniform. They arrive and find the landlord, who had dress• ed himself for a boast in what he imagined to be the Duke's Coat. They seize him, and a lung Parley ensued, which is terminated by the coming up of the' British guard, who take the Ereochinen. prisoners ; while an Officer, giving a portion to the Innkeeper's daughter, her parents consent to her union with Henry. The dialogue is not remarkable for merit, and we shall, therefore, dismiss it as only excuseabte from beltinging to a tritle hastily got up for a Benefit. The Soligs are generally lively, and written to favourite French airs; but they are also without pretensions to great praise. The fold lowing exampie of them shall conclude our no- tice : Simmerkin (the Landlord).—An, J'ai de bon tabac.
