The fears of the Parisians iire strikingly shown in a gasconading address fr6m the Parisian Con federation, which we have thought it quite need less to include among our extracts. A Russian Colonel is said to have passed through Basic on his way to Paris. We hope soon to hear that a good many more have taken the same route. Their errand may be surmised. , our preceding columns are Copies of the very important Documents laid before. Parliament preparatory to the debate 'of this evening. It, will be seen (as stated in a late Second Edition, which we published yeSterday evening), that the Royal Message is . decideely hostile—A prelude to the commencement of War against BuoNarAtITE and the Rebels, and in aid of the French People.— Lord CLANCARTY'S Letter is an admirable doctt meta, and, politically, - of great value, us demon strating the perfect unanimity of - all the principal Powers Devoting onr columns to mine useful informa tion, or to more agreeable topics, we shall not waste many comments on the contents of the Morning Chronicle of this date, but they are al together 'so scandalous and mischievous, that it would be a dereliction of our public duty to pass them over in silence. The Chronicle styles us " one the. Most devoted of the Treasury Papers :" if it means devoted ro our own Country and its Government it is right ; if the word Treasury is intended to convey any slur upon our patriotic support of the iater6ts'of the British Empire, the Writer who used it knows that he was insinuating a falsehood. We give our bumble etro . rts to the cause of our Native Land—the Chronicle is, of the Pipers published in Europe, " the most devoted" to the Cause of BUONAPARTE, of MULAT, of our enemies, wherever they may be found.—This is the difference be tween us : On which side is time the greatest risk, in being toq ardent: or, disgrace in being perhaps,. m'staken ? The Chronicle affects to doubt the 'insurrection in La Vendie, which we yesterday exclusively communicated, because the news, it says, arrived scasona,sly to influence xlie \Parliamentary discuS sion this evening. We 'merely related 'the facts which reached us, .without thinking about their influence on this debate. These facts are au thentic '(even the . Parisian coadjutors of the Chro nicle, see our extracts, confess it this day), and though we are convinced that nothing of' the kind' was wanted to decide the Legislature in its im portant determination, it is a curious illustration of ita principles to observe the Chronicle, believing the contrary, venture to dispute dike intelligence which has been received, On no authority what= ever, and merely because .it is inconsistent with the wishes of a black and contemptible Faction. But the most insidious part of this wicked pro 7 duction, is the laboured attempt to unite the. French people, (for the folly of it IS . not calcu lated to deceive England), in the service of Buo- NAPARTE, and especially the New I'roprietors 4 whom it estimates at " 15,000,000 of humanbe ings, interested in preserving intact the changes of property that have taken place, and all alarm;- ed at the menaces that all the estates must be re ., .stimed," Can any thing be imagined more hardy in im pudence, more daring in mendacity, or more in famous in design than this nefarious paragraph ? Louts XVIII. sat a year upon the Throne of France, restored by the almost unanimous voice of the Nation, what new Proprietor suffered an en croachment I—if the Morning Chronicle can furnish a single instance of property invaded, of the order of things which his MAJESTY found- being en croached upon, we will concede the whole of its argument, and confess that the BOURBONS, as they did-before, do now_ intend to innovate on the actual situation of the Landed Possessions of France.' But the assertion is• utterly false—it is only calculated for translation into the BuonJparte Press (which is ashamed to originate such vil laity), to impose on the, most ignorant of the mul titude. Of the same class of mischief and stupidity is the attempt to-persuade us that because " La Voitd4e is up, and the_ Insurrection spreading," we ought to leave tL•e French to themselves : in other words, we, who have armed the Royalists, ought to leave them- unassisted, to have their throats cut by the Fiend whom the Chronicle serves, and his military myrmidons, under whOse bloody oppression the People groan, and are a d= able to deliver themselves. • We shall nut further fi.)llow this tissue of jai- eriity and infamy so disgraceful, to tl►e 3riti3h pre;is, than sitnply — io enter our caveat against one -other card played by t;►e cunning Chronicle to oid the Rebel gnn►e. Ile• pretends to attach-int, portnee to the Allied Dt.:claration.gniranteeing in case of the restoratiqn of the King, the integrity of the French territory as settled by the Treaty of Paris. This is a weak' ruse. Who could or did doubt that such was their determina tion ? When France lay at their mercy last year, and they were yet incensed- at the hid, juries she had. done them,. the Allies spai-ed her and gave her back her integrity, and indepen dence; and high rank, among civilized nations.-- . -- Let their intentions for the future, like those of Louts - XVIII. be judged by the erperiente of the past, and not .by the 4landers of BuoNAP4R-m arid the Cirroßicle, and the people of. France will have another inducement .to - join heartily in the coln mon cause against the Tyrant and his accomplice robbers. • Ma.

Extract of a Letter from Genoa, dated INtay G : We arelnformed, that the King of SARDINIA'S Governor has written a note to the Health Office, with orders to give clearances, anti admit freely into this port French vessels, with either the wciite or tri-coloured flag. A vessel under British colours, which was loading for Naples, has been . obliged to discharge her cargo; as. the English Consul will not give her clearances to proceed there, the armistice with England being broken." Other letters from Goma state, that the expedi tion to Naples is countermanded, in consequence of the complete overthrow of MitAT.. The Journal de Paris contains a rather satirical account of the admission .of M. ALGNAN, as a Member of ,the French Academy. The Sitting was terminated by the :recitation of an ode, en titled L'Odyssee, -by Prince LUCIEN, whn,. how ever, is not complimented either for the poetry or the delivery. The following is‘an extract from the Itnperial Proclamation published at St. Petershurgh, on the 25th of April, addressed to the French Nation, and which reached us ye4terday, by the Gotten burgh Mail " Aren, 9.5.—Y0u entered my territories, unprovoked, with fire and sword ; you plundered and destroKed wherever you came ; you entered my capital, which you laid waste. I en tered your territories, and took your capital, hut destroyed nothing. Again, unprovoked, you raise the sword, and de stroy the peace of nations. I will now enter your territories once more, to.conquer peace; and wherrver I meet with re sistance, I will utterly destroy you for your perfidy."

WINDSOR, MAY 22:—The (JOEFN'S Birth-day, on Friday, was celebrated here with . various re joicings.

This portrait possesses so many claims to attention, that, it. would be unpardona ble to pass it over in .these remarks, without an early and.distinct notice. It stands by itself in these rooms—the only example : of a species, at once rare and beautiful. Every person con versant with the art is acquainted -with Z size and manner : This portrait is of the same description, but far beyond the powers of ZoFFANI in all that pertains to excellence a picture. In character nothing can surpass it, anti the taste with which : its vigour has been chas tised, the delicacy which bas'softened its firmness, appear to us must extraordinary qaalities in an Artist who is vet but : a Tytt, in our Exhibitions,. The peculiar tone of colont' necessary to afford a fair resemblance to life in the venerable head of the President, seems to have; betrayed Mr. lIARLow into a slight degree of c,halkiness in the forehead ; but we declare, that il..we endeavonyed to detect faults - I'n this subject ; and to . overlook its beau ties, we could scarcely utter another insinuation of dispraise against this masterly production. We shall only add one other observation, or rattier suggestion, for the consideration of this most promising Artist. We doubt that his ma terials are not calenlated to be so lasting as his genius is great ; We strenh6usly --ovise hitti to study his pigments with the utmost solicitude, and will venture to predict, that with,attentiou to his medium he will transmit a solid fame to distant times.

While that Number boasts of great originality, these remind us strongly of Mr. Lawrence, whom Mr. Harlow seems to have viewed so closely as to be unable to be at all times. him'self. There is much character in the head of General Cnppage, but the colour in the drapery is decidedly bad. MiSs Chambers is a charming figure•—perhaps a little theatrical. The Attorney-General a striking likeness. No. 50. The Earl of Kinnoul ; No. 75. The Eail of Fife; No. 156.' A General Officer ; No. 277. Professor. Play, fair,; of Edinburgh ; H. RAE: BUIIN, It. A. Elect.—Mr. Rarbitru is another of the Exhibitors. whose works must, from their great ,merit, excite :midi attention. His manner is very peculiar. He aims at grand effect by broad and general means, and seems to despise the nicety of detail, - and even the charms of contrast stud CO lour. In the former respect he is eminently suc cessful; but some beauties might be acquired by a greater regard to the latter. -.There is, much keeping, there is even greatness in these Portraits, for which, the subjects . are, we suspect, somewhat indebted to the Artist., but there is also a want of finish, and a predominant darkness in their tone, which is without relief, and therefore fatiguing io the eye. If Mr. RAM/RN would - but pay a tribute. to the Graces (au easy matter for a Painter of his abilities), such tribute, combined with the three and energy which characterize his pencil, would raise him even higher than he now stands -among the foremost Honours of the British School. No. 293. Colonel Gaitskell. No. 343. E. B. ,Wilbraham, Esq. No. d Gentlenzan's T. ,STEWARDSON.—Though we neither put R. A. nor even A. after the name of this Artist, his talents force him into our earliet strictures for notice , and approbation. The last of these pictures is the only ilitinguished subject of the kind in this year's Exhibition, and it does gre-at credit-to the Artist and the Gallery... Family groupes are dif ficult to manage. Avoiding the errors so fatal to the Vicar of' Wakefield's domestic circle, and shunning the lambs, crooks, nosegays, and other pedantic trifling of tasteless times, we are apt to hill into the other extreme; and combine our por, traits by a chain more modern in:its structure, but not an atom less fantastic, and fully as strong a . provocative to laughter in our grandchildren as those, of our grandfathers are to us. Mr. STEWARDSON has happily avoided both extremes, and has united six or seven children by means at once classical, unaffected, natural and pleasing. The picture is in other respects ably executed vigorous in style, and animated in composition. We can scarcely pay a higher compliment that' by saying that it forcibly, •but not servilely, re minds us of the Marquis of Winclwstcr's fine family from the sante easel in last year's catalogue. The youngest child is particularly beautiful and fine in that charm for which our RuyxoLbs Was s° conspicuous—infantile character : the boy in green, is one of the most graceful anti anillfatea figures we have seen from a modern pencil. The portraits of Mr. Wilbraham and of Colonel Gaitskell are striiiing likenesses) and excellently
