What advantages have wve lost by this incon siderate " precipitation ! How cruel were we 1 tb anticipate this happy exhibition of French loYalty I. But the balf-wittCd felloW again intrudes, in ' listing that all this might have been done in. the first instance,as the Neapolitans did—for example, ivith MurtaT. - For, says he, ,had that Brigand. !narehed from Pizzo to Naples as easily as Btro ltkl'snTß marched iron) Frejus to Paris; the King, would have been expelled and the Usurper esti- Ilished ; but had BtJONAPARTE been arrested at Freju s as My RAT was at Pizzo, the King would have been protected, and the Usurper EXECUT ILD.---A practical argument this, which pertina cious people will make ; but which Statesmen like tile Duc de RicraeuEu will hardly condescend to answer. The Nation, hOwever, knew the proper sensor', for her loyalty, and she still kaows it. While bey " revolutionary principles, and the courage of her soldiers" were spt ea ling ruin over Europa, we hea r d no thi ng bat the glory of France and the 'lig I'ity of her Emperor.

" Extreme rigour'' this ! and such as " might •.have been tempered in its application by the equi ty and magnanimity of the Sovereigns !" We cannot wonder at a French Man's penchant for' he word Magnanimity. The sound of it has already saved Paris twice;. and we would advise Monsieur RICHELIEU, in the third Punic War, to trust to it rather titan to " Equity." But it is pleasant to observe his reasons for this rigour." God bless us ! what a term to use for the mercy which France has received ! The Sove reigns were sufficiently inclined to be very tender, amid very forgiving, and very magnanimous : but " the nations influenced their councils by the powerful action of opinion ;" and therefore, the Sovereigns could not " influence the destiny of the nations." So thee. ! When NAPOLEON armed all France against us, her " opinion" was not potent enough for his compulsion ; but when the Sovereigns have conquered Trance, our " opi nion" is too potent for their " influence." The Due de RICHELIEU will gratify us with an expose of this curious contradiction, and detail the pro cess, whereby " opiiiion" could do so little in France, ataso much everywhere else. And will France complain' of " rigour," and murmur against her " heavy hurthens," when she recollects " the wars without end and without Measure" which she has waged ; the " fears" , which she has excited, the " vengeance" which she has provoked, the " resentment" which she has kindled ? And will France complain of the " distrust" which is shewn towards her, when she recollects the " habitual. and systematic vio lation of all morality," which she contracted with 44 h er terrible and fatal principle of revolution ?" Oh most assuredly, her "multiplied infractions pf 'all that is sacred among men," must deprive hef'•of all confidence ! save only that miserable species of trust which we extend to the felon and the - sharper, when they are advertised, and impri soned, and fetterred, and roped ! when their will of mischief is extinguished by their 'impotence Yet even in this, abasement, the natural and national vanity of a Frenchman can invent some consolation ; and it has not escaped die, research. of Monsieurßicutuau. The kory It 4 risi.ctflT:rk - e 01)12ined w*s indeed . " ratalr and her victo ries have been " bloody. 4 k But what of that ! their Gallicism atones for every misfortune : they are paraded and trumpeted throUgh France even in the eye and car of her victorious masters. The origin of this monstrous absurdity, which exhibits a Loyalist Frenchman boasting the tri umphs of Jacobinism, vaunting its thieveries, and deploring their surrender, is to be found in the na tloinality of the French character, and in its• vanity, if indeed these are not synonymous terms ; but its continuance is to be found in our toleration of any the slightest trace of the revolution ; the palaces, and the plunder, and the privileges of its upstart brood. While France retains one vestige of this principle, which 'Can not be reprobated in terms more emphatic than the eloquent Duc de RICHELIEU supplies, her Repentance is hopeless, and our Confidence is im possible. The guard stations of the barriers of Paris are now almost entirely - oceupied by the English. It is remarked, that there are no longer any na tional guards at these stations. Recent accounts from Gibraltar cha'rge the Ameriaan cruising squadron off the coast of Al giers, with enticing on board our seamen ; one staunch British sailor impeached to his commander an American agent, who had attempted to seduce him.

A letter from Paris, of the beginning of No vember, says—" Some days ago I counted the Paintings still remaining in the Gallery of the 'Louvre ; they are 256 ; consequently, according to the Notices des Tableaux exposes dans le illusec Royal, which is sold at the door, the loss in works of Art that have been taken away amounts to 1,115. If we reflect that,. in this great number, are included the choicest master-pieces cif the Ger man, and till more of the Flemish and: Italian schools, ive may imagine ,how immense the loss is. Further, however, as it seems, it will not go. " There are still among them some of the very first rate, e. g. of Raphael (the Rr changel Michael), Poussin, of Le Seleur, and even of the Flemish school. They can hardly, however, be permitted to remain where they are ; they would be lost in this gallery, and to fill up the space, as far as it can be done, with paintings of the French school, would not be very fai.%.-arable to the latter. The Hall of the Antiques presents a terrible sight. .Lvery where there are vacancies, every where the rubbish of the pedestals that arc left are the marks of destruction. The .removal of the• plundered statues is not yet completed.

DISTRESSING HOMICIDE.---The following most shocking circumstance occurred in this neighbour hood on Tuesday •sennight :—A Sheriff's Officer of this town, - having a writ to serve upon a man in the neighbourhood of Knowsley, who was under stood to be a very daring and resolute fellow, and likely to make considerable resistance, went thi , titer, accompanied by a young man of the name of Shuttleworth. They took a gun with them, mere ly, as we have been. informed, to amuse them selves with shooting birds in the way, and they did n o t secure the object of their search without a severe struggle, in which all the parties gave and received many heavy blows. Having at length obtained pdssession of the person of their prisoner, the Sheriff's ,Officer and his companion threatened hini,• that if he should attempt to escape they .would certainly shoot him ; and at the same time Shuttleworth, as a confirmation of the reality- of their intention, pet the ramrod into the gnu to show the man that the piece was charged. 'ri l e prisoner, nevertheless, took to his heels' immediately, and Shuttlewartl, in his haste to put his threat in execution, Instant ly levelled his gun, without extracting the ram rod, and fired : the charge of the gun, together with the ramrod, entered the body of the unfor tunate prisoner, who turned round, and attempt ed again to strike his assailants, but fell, and in a short .time expired.
