The Royal Visitors still continued at Vienna, and,no thing is said of their immediate departure for Frankfort. As a proof that the French Usurper is not pos sessed so strongly even of the Army as he pre tends, we have to state that several persons who mean to join.the rightful Monarch's cause, have just arrived in this country, and among others, a Lieut.-Colonel of the &Oth, lying in garrison at Calais. They will embark immediately for Ostend. We have this morning French Papers of the 24th, and -had yesterday afternoon those of the preceding day, of which we gave the summary, in a Second Edition, which we now re-insert, to gether with a fall translation of the New Consti tutional Act ; if that may be called so, which is little more than a transcript of the Royal charter. But the great difference between these measures is, that the Charter emanated from a King of unimpeached integrity, a legal Monarch, a Legislator who might be trusted as meaning to fulfil the articles to which his Royal signature was attached--=while the other is tile offspring of necessity, the act of a Rebel, of a man insensible to She binding of oaths, and un worthy of the slightest confidence, either from his past life, or the appreciation of his future in tentions—the bubble of the hour, to be broken at the earliest convenient opportunity, as in , terest, ambition, or revenge may invite. As for the Act itself, and the polling of the people, it is one of the must arrant farces ever de vised to insult common sense, not even excepting the exhibition of the puppet King of RoME, upon his being breeched in regituentals„ to make speeches to the , Parisians ! • Look at the Decree for the Champ-de-Mai, among our extracts. The spe6- tack is arranged as if it were a City procession; the decision of the people is presumed (as well it may, frOm the mode in which it is to be ascertained), and all matters ate pre-concerted in the perfect assurance that there is no danger of Alr. CAM-. BACERES repotting that the votes are against the plan of the Emperor of the Jacobins.: Eagles are to be distriblited, and thus it is hoped the people of France and the Nations of Europe will he Oiled. The chief news in these Journals is, that the Duke d'ArioooLumn embarked in a Swedish ship at Cette, on the I 6th, for Cadiz : a re port that General NUGP.NT had been defeated in Italy on the 10th, and his column made prisoners; and that Lord Wsr. BENTINCK had returned to Genoa, after an interview with the King of SAR DINIA at Alexandria. • But the most,amusing specimen of Gallic vera city, and of the credibility of Paris intelligence, is to be found in the following extract from the llioniteur of the 24th, which almost beats our Morning Chronicle at mendacity:— Travellers worthy of credit who . disembarked yesterday .(the '2lst) at Dieppe, and left London the day before, bring intelligence that the House of Commons and the tr.:.. - j:,fity of the people of England wish to maintain peace with France. " The people bare pilleged, destroyed, and razed to the pound, three houses belonging to persons who notoriously have expr-essed their inclination for a war. • " The populace then went to the house of Lord CASTLE treAcii, who is at the head of the party decidedly against the Continuance of peace ; they Ought for him every where,, and would certainly have torn bins to pieces if they could have got him. " The rfferrescence in London has reached the. highest pitch, and the greatest, calamities are expected, if Government does not yekl to the wishes so energetically manifested by Jobn We recommend the above to our patriotic Ci tizens who assemble this day in Common 1444 to prove that they might have Saved themselves the trouble of aiding their friend BooTgArARTE to misrepresent the sentiments of the British People, which are just as likely to be gathered from the , outcasts and vagabonds who visit the Paris Theatres with Bouquets of Violets, as tram a fac tion so tvorthlvss and contemptible. Nlre learn, by private letters from Belgium, thckt . the Duke of IVE4INoroN has brig his forces aimest exactly in the same way they were Id Spain. Officers . and men accustomed to act in cOuceri must afford gl'eat advantages to our skilful Commander. Some of the Morning Papers - have published a very erroneous statement of our force, its disposition; &c. in Belgium=were it correct, it would . not he judicious to fUrnish such intelli gence to the Enemy. It will be seen from our Port Letters, that great desertions continue to take place from the Relief Standard. Brussels and Frankfort Papers mention the cessant march of troops towards France. It is also said, that an Anglo-Sicilian Army of 30,000 men has disembarked in the Gull - ill of Manfredonia; opposite to Naples. Such a diversion will tin= dotibtedly be made, but we suspect the present rumour to be both exaggerated and premature. Those Gentlemen who are pleased to become the advocates .for peace with the Jacobins, and the legitimacy of 13POAPARTE'S usurpation, bare not yet quite defined the extent to which they would put their principles - in practice. The po licy which, they recommend is entirely r experi.; mental, and to be instituted on the assumption that BUONAPARTE is a regenerated creature— once ambitious, but now moderate—and proving his trustworthiness - by the breach of a solemn Treaty—his moderation, by usurping a Throne. It is to be wished that they had stated wkat acts, on the part of the Usurper, they would admit as proof that the continuance of their ex perimental forbearance is inconsistent with safety, because then there might be a chance of argu ing with them on reasonable grounds. Will they say that no such proof can ever be,exhibited ? If they should at lost be foreed,to admit the validity of the proof, and the necessity of a war.against him, to preserve us from utter destruction, do they say that we shall then reap the fruits, of our forbearance, and our husbanded resources, by finding ourselves in a condition 'to hold the van tage ground in the contest, or that the struggle will be shortened in prOportion - to the extent of our fOrbearanee ? Their arguments, (we beg par don for using the word) if we understand them at all, are to this effect. The pozsibility of such proof being admitted, the probability of it must not - be denied. What then would be the measures which they would ad vise, with respect to our naval quid military force, during the continuance of their 'experimental truce ? Mr. WESITBREAD himself would not at tempt such . a manifest outrage on common sense, as to propose any thing less than a war establish ment : here then is a T reace as expensiv,c as war. So much for husbanding our resources! We are to maintain a peace at the same expellee as a vigo rous war, by way of experiment—only to try whe ther or 110CBUONAPARTE is the mild, moderate Creature he professes to be—only to husband our . - resources by a. war an d expenutture,„ tnus prepare ourselves to enter with vigour and effect on - the war which must be eventually necessary, -our strength being restored' by this peaceful exertion, and our finances recruited by these heavy expenees. That is all ! These heavy burdens-these positive risks, are the certain evils which we are advised to encounter. What then is to be the contingent be nefit ?-- , -The maintenance of lt _nanaparte on the usurped throne of Louis XVIII. ?----That may do foe the Opposition, but will scarcely satisty the British Nation. Is it - the ultimate:peace and tranquillity of the woyld.that we are to expect Oh no; no, no 1 This is what we have to ex pect—that Buonaparte, having time .to_ organise his armies and mature his scheme's, will be able to fulfil his promises to the rebel soldiery—lie will have time, to recruit their.ranks--to spread again delusion among- the people—he will have time to undermine every Throne in Europe, by the same means he has already so successfully used these will be the fruits of our experimental peace and our husbanded resources. , Let us for a moment turn to the opinions which the Opposition themselves have declared on the tharacter Of the Usurper.—Last week they Wished to move a Vote of Censure on the British Government, for having,. by -their negligence, permitted his escape inn)). Elba; and on what grounds; I pray you ?—Why, that it was noto rious that he w:-is not to be trusted—that he ought tohave,bven watched in every movement. What ! say the Opposition, trust to the oh.. servance of the Treaty of Fomtainbleait by BUONA PARTE Why was be not watched 3' Why was not Elha surrounded by British ships of war to guard such a monster ' ? When it was suggested that there was no, such stipulation in the Treaty as could authorisethest; .i7teps, they broke out again— How could you be so absurd as to expect that BIJONAPART E would not trample upon those sti pulations which bound him., as soon as he had opportunity* . . _ Such is the consistency of the Party that - in trudes its advice upon us, that does all in its poorer to embarrass the operations of our Govern hrent, and to persuade to the adoption of a course of conduct evidently against their own convic tion;--fraught with every possible danger„-=pro inking tin good result—and after a trying period of harassment -anti anxiety, the recompence for our connivan c e at usurpation, perfidy, and spoilia tion, is to be a long arduous courest with that horrible system once overthrown, on which we bhould have to enter with imt:tited resc n irces.
