[British Press.] - The ,birth of this PRINCE: (the PRINCE of liouttixt:st) is a circumstance to which the ' .g.:Yatest interest is attached by the friends of the tioyal Family of France ; but we really cannot see what increase of solidity it gives to the throne, uo,eti we consider that the tine family of the /juke of Ont.t.ofs were fully adequate to the prt.servation of - the name and - honours of the itourbons. Poor child ! he comes into the surrontided by enemies who, we are told, advised and attempted his destruction even in his . mother's womb. • It is not likely that even his presence will calm the angry passions of the French people, or teach them to regard the govern ment of his family with less ardent hatred than is now too generally entertained against them. — his enemies are of the true Jacobin strain, whom nu sense of generosity or pity ever induced to iiesist from their enterprise ; his father sunk be :wadi the knife of an assassin, and the enterprise shewS that the spirit of Louvel did not him. He was born amidst alarms and dangers, the blood of his murdered father spiiiikled his mother in her pregnancy, -and the ' uaiiappy .Princess has ever since lived in a state c'; splendid imprisonment, being carefully se cluded from the eyes of strangers, taught to be ii ve the object of a general conspiracy a;Tainst her personal safety, and apprehension ti:at every movement as a signal for her de f.,,;ruction. [illornin'g Post.] -We received last night SeAstsu PAPERs to the 19th ult. It will be seen by :their contents that the ARREST of General RIEGo at Madrid and his sLibSequent banishment created much alarm and distrust throughout the country. Had not the Goternment displayed - a happy mixture of.firtn tie.* and moderation, dangerous consequences Might have ensued. But most Commanders of places and provinces had fortunately imbibed the same spirit, and in the line of conduct which they adopted, did not go beyond the real neces sity.' of the case. Thus peace was preserved ai:d confidence restored, without any measure of greater severity than the removal of a few Offi e4i,s from their stations. The Cortes have lately takvd a variety of important subjects into conside rition. A project of law on the liberty of the Fress, consisting of nine heads and 76 articles, has been read a first time, and ordered to be printed. The minute of a Decree, declaring that every foreigner - settled in Spain, and possessed of pro perty in that country, shall enjoy all the rights And 'privilegeS of a citizen, as long as he respects and obeys the Constitution, has also been adopted. A general Tariff of Customs has-been ordered to lie drawn up for the whole Spanish Monarchy, to _tie.put in force on the Ist of January, -1821, in_ Europe, and some months later in the Colonies. The last, and not the least important proposition, is one tending to grant a general amnesty, and h e perpetual oblivion of all offences committed in this traits-marine provinces. Such a measure is A necessary foundation for any future arrange z:ent which may take plate.betvieen.Spain ana her Colonies: Without it, even negociating nould be impossible. l'oalay, we believe, the Friends to Changes in G overmnents dipe together—Gentlemen and. tinkers, • Lords and brokers, Senators and coster xz'ongers. Thus will the Revolution in Spain, yet i:ardly in its first phase, be celebrated; thus will the revolt in Naples he.. honoured, while yet the struggle is young and bloody ; thus will the in fant- civil war in • Portugal, in which party is arrnerl against party, have its appropriate honours. Lint it does seem cruel that the lovers and patrons of experimental innovations should forget in their revels another class of persons who have made a Leld effort to recover their liberties and give a - Constitution to their country. The want of access detracts not from their merits ; for they yielded to physical power, and postponed per force fln glorions design of liberating themselves from slavery, and the land of their sires from the despotic chains of legitimacy. Why then do the 2:oklenten, gentlemen, and ragamuffins of this fes tival omit the glories of the galley slaves of Civita among their tributes of applause ? Did not tiny rise in arms against the Laws and Au thorities of the State ? Did not they attempt to burst their fetters, imposed by tyrants ? Did not call on their countrymen to join them in the sacred, cause of reform and freedom, of einancipa fon and perfect equality ? 'Why, in Heaven's name, are they to be treated with this contutne iious neglect ? We will answer for them, they ~e re as sincere and hearty in the work as any 1-', - .adical at this meeting, whether he be nobleman or convict. For the sake of consistency, there 'fore, not to mention gratitude and justice, we venture to sagest for this revolutionary. satur nalia the -following additions to the toasts The Id, Siztern Hundred Galley Slaves Of Cieitu ho, under the most adverse circumstances, rose to ocertbrow a Arplized despmtistn in.

[Morning Chronicle.] By LET'rEB from BOMBAY, dated the Ist of May, we learn that the Governor, Mr. ELPHIN STONE, .had returned to the Presidency from a journey to Banda in the Guzzerat, the object of which was to place the C uiocar in the sole pos session of tt S territory, which had been pre viously unties the coutrout of the Resident.

His ex perience 'of twenty years in diplomatic inter course with the subtle natives of the country, and his perfect knowledge of their language and customs, give him such an ascendancy over their Minds, that with the just and liberal use which he makes of his power, inclines them to yield with confutepae to every proposition that he snakes.

[The Times.] By the following letter froM Convv, our rea tiers will !cairn .the probability of the approaching end. to Art RACH.t.'S power and tyranny, and the expected restoration by the Porte to their right ful owners of(the various seizures of spoil and terri tory made by That atrocious usurper. It remains to be seen to what extent the unfortunate Par guinotes are !likely to profit under the influence of this new spirit of restitution. On the singular plea of fulfilling, a treaty made with the Porte, the people of Varga. were driven from their na tive country, which - was delivered over to the bit terest enemy of the Grand Seignor, a notorious and acknowledged rebel. This fraud was scan dalous. But now that Sir T.MAITL.IND'S neigh bour,•All Pachtt, has paid, or is about to pay, the forfeit of his crimes, we trust that the British Commissioner will not interpose to frustrate what ever movements of justice or humanity the Porte may have in contemplation for the relief of, that injured people : Extract of a Letter, dated Corfu, Sept. 2, 1820. " On Monday last Prevesa was, surrendered to the forces of the Grand Seignor by Veli second son of Ali Pacha, who went on board of the Turkish -1-drniral's ship, and surrendered him self : they sa y - that both he and Meemet Paths, his younger brother, who commanded at Parga, have been sent prisoners to Constantinople. Pashie Bey is also said to have entered Janina at the head of 12,000 troops, and that Ali Pacha had retired into a fortress with only 500 men, who were all that had remained faithful to -him. The news of his death or capture is daily ex pected. According to accounts from Constanti nople, the Sultan has declared the various terri tories v. hich Ali Pacha had successively added to his l'achalic to he restored to their original po litical condition, and to be free from any taxes or contributions for the period of three years., In consequence of this intelligence, the Pargninote emigrants who remain here have sent a deputa tion to Constantinople, to solicit the restitution of -their territory." '• [Nero Times.] This day will probably be distinguished in the annals of faction, by two memorable events, the presentation of the London, Westminster, and Southwark Address to the. Queen, and the din srer in celebration of three great Revolutions at the CrOWn.and Anchor. As to the Address, it will perhaps be sanctioned with not less thari 200,000 signatures, nor ought this to excite the least surprise, for a roost active canvas has been carried on from house to house, for the purpose of obtaiuing,not the signatures of housekeepers, but those of the apprentices and servants of tradesmen. With so many active agents employed among so vast a population, it would be easy to procure this number .of names to almost any absurdity ; and if the Address is sent up with less, there must be some disinclination on the part of the people to sign it. As to the Revolutionary Din ner, it would deserve no notice, were it not that a Duke, the only Irish Nobleman of that rank, has descended to mix in the orgies of Hunt's associates. What is this poor deluded Veer dreaming about ? Has he read over the list of Stewards ? Has he any recollection or know ledge of what passed in France •in the year 1792 ? The following remark by his Grace's il lustrious countryman, the immortal Burke, well deserves his serious meditation. " I assure his Grace that the Frenchified faction, more en couraged than others are warned by what has happened in France, look at him and his landed possessions as an object at once of curiosity and rapacity." This was addressed to an English Duke ; and though perhaps the " landed pos sessions" of the Duke of Leinster may not be quite so extensive as those which Burke had in his eye, yet no doubt they are large enough to tempt some who will have the honour of sitting to-clay in his Grace's company. FRENCH REVOLU CIOSARY BIOG RAPHY. MEMOIRS OF THE LATE MARSHAL LEFEBVRE, DUKE OF DANTZIC. (By the Editor of" The British Monitor.") This celebrated personage, who performed such a conspicuous character in the mock Court of St. Cloud, was the son of a soldier, who was afterwards a miller at Rutrach in Alsace. He was born on the 95th of October, 1755, and while very young enlisted in the French Guards, in which he became serjeaut. At the com mencement of the Revolution he was rapidly promoted, and in 1792 employed in the army of the Rhine, under the command of General Custance. He commanded the advanced guard which entered Mayence. When he entered that city he caused the principal inhabitants to be assembled in the great square, and addressed them thus in German and French ; being an Alsatian, the good General spoke both lan guaes, though very badly :—" Je suis venu ici pour vous apporter /a liberty ; mais, si vous bougez, je vous enverrai f-- f---- " leh kornm bier' unt such freiheit au Bringen, aber wenn ihr each ruhrt so soil each der Teufel hohlen ?",--" I came here to give you liber ty, but if you stir—l will send you all to hell !! !" After having signalized himself at the battles of Zheimbacly and Geisbacq, he was made General of division. He commanded the troops who besieged Fort Vauban, after wards entered the Palatinate and blocked up the head of the bridge of Manheirn. Having ob tained the command of ,the advanced guard of the same army, he led it through the Ardennes in May 1794, and after having passed the Meuse at Dinan, came under the walls of Charleroi, where his division formed the r i g ht wing a the besieging army. In this station he withstood several violent attacks, in particular that on the Sth of Messidor. He then took possession of Fleurus, whence after having been several times fiercely assailed, he succeeded in forcing the Al lied troops to retreat, a success owing in part to the firmness of General Leval, who served under him. Ile afterwards continued to command the advanced guard of the same army, which was now called that of Sambre and Meuse, and ob tained several advantages on the heights of Liege and at Linnach, and chewed astonishing intrepidity after twice; passing the Rhine in 1795 and 1796, as also in the two retreats consequent on thus crossing, in which he and his division had several times to sustain all the efforts of the Austrian army. In 1799 he was employed un der Jourdan, when he made an irruption into Suabia, and he again headed the advanced guard, which gained, immortal glory at the battle of Stokach, iu which he received a wound in his arm from a musquet, and when Jourdan thought proper to sound a retreat, it was undauntedly covered by LefebVre. On his return to Paris at the crisis of the 18th of June, he was placed on the list of candidates for the renewal of the Di rectory ; he was powerfully supported by many Generals, but the Jacobins ultimately gave the preference to Moulin, whom they believed to be more at their disposal. He was afterwards ap pointed Commandant of Paris, but he gave up this post to General Buonaparte, and declared strongly in favour of the revolution of the 18th Brumaire. From that time he was one of the Generals in whom the First Consul placed most confidence ; he appointed him the next day his first lieutenant, employed him under himself in the capital, and caused him to be elected, in April 1800, a member of the Preservative Se nate, of which, in July 1803, he was appointed Vice-President; the 17th of September follow ing he was nominated Praetor, and soon after went to preside in the electoral college of the Upper Rhine. In May 1803, he was raised to the dignity of a Marshal. In the war with Aus tria in 1805 he commanded the, national guards assembled on the•frontiers, but took no active part in that campaign. In that against Prussia, in 1806, he 'commanded' the imperial foot guards at the battle at Jena. He followed the grand army, and was present at the battle of Eylau, after which he was sent to besiege Dantzig, with ,the army consisting chiefly of Poles. In 1808 he was employed in the army in Spain, where he defeated the .Generals Blake and Ito mana. In 1809 he had a command in the army against Austria, and was sent into the Tyrol. It was owing to his perfidious manoeuvres that the brave Andrew Hofer was arrested and afterwards shot. In the Russian cam paign, in 1812, Lefebvre also commanded the imperial guard. On his retreat from Mos cow he lost his only, son (who was his aide-de camp) at Wilna, who died of a fever. The fol lowing yetir he commanded in the interior,, against the Allies. When Buonaparte abdicated he sent in his adliaion to the Provisional Go vernment, for Which he was created by the King a Chevalier de St. Louis. In the hundred cloys he was created a Peer by Buonaparte, in consequence of which he was erased from the list of Peers on the King's second restoration, and deprived of his rank of Marshal. The lat ter honour, however, was again conferred on him by the King in 1816. Ile died in Paris on the 10th September 1820, without issue. Such are the outlines of the military character of Marshal Lefebvre, Duke of Dantzic. As to his private life, it is pretty well known that this Duke of Dantzic never quitted a country empty handed ; and although a great practical partizan of liberty, and a great Jacobin, his hands were not stained with blood, like many other revolu tionary officers who now affect,to be great Roya lists, such as Generals Canuel and Donadieu.— The affair of Hofer was no doubt all managed by Buonaparte himseW, and Lefebvre was only his tool. His manners were low and disgusting. The first time I saw him was at one of Madame Re camier's balls. I was standing near him, when he was inquiring of a young man the names of several Ladies who were dancing or otherwise employed. The inquiries, so often repeated, tired the young man's patience, who said to him, rather angrily, not knowing the person . who was :peaking to him, as he was not dressed iu uni- form, " D'ou Diable venez vous .9"—(Where the - devil do you come from?)—The General replie e 2 "De la lune, ou je jamais un de ton espece.

Madame la Duchesse was many ye°, rs a washerwoman to the barracks at Strasburg'', When she married Lefebvre she became a r a : uaudeuse, (a mender of stockings and linen,/ and discontinued washing for the soldiers. When her husband first joined the army, about a wi fea r • before the commencement of hostilities t h _ Austria in the year 1790, Madame la Duch tie de Dantzic was appointed raraudeuse tothe larmy ! which is of higher rank than that, oa washerwoman. When Lefebvre became Generals his wife, who went again to live at Strasburghy Would not give up her old trade of washing, saY ing, she did not know what might happen. After Lefebvre's elevation to the Duchy °I Dantzic, the inhabitants of that city voted hirn a present of 500,000 livres. When the Dantzic Deputies, who were at Paris, waited upon him, to give it him, the noble Duke refused taking it-- in liz.ves—hut insisted upon it in francs, which makes a difference, upon the whole sum, of abott,- 300 louis ! Such a pair of portraits were. never seen, ne r even imagined, but by the humorous Cervantes. From the LONDON GAZETTE of Sept. 3(1" BANKRUPTUY ENLARGED. S.
