Therefore, we rejoice in the vro sn tr ee ree t °f seeing the noble branches of the Royal a t of t 'r'ance in the land of their origin.

He would say, try some tnore credible imposition, for this is too gross to be listened to for a moment.—These lines were - penned by a profligate Agent of BUONA PARTE, who feared neither to advance lie or prac tise villany, in order to forward his Master's cause, and vent his displeasure in railing against his adversaries. They are not the reasoning even of a distempered party-man—they are the dic tates of an interest unequivocally identified with that of the. Corsican Usurper—they were written in Paris, and only transcribed in London I ! ! And its wickedness is only equalled by its absur dity; its disloyalty by its folly. Allowing for a moment an assertion which is false.; that the restoration of the BOURBONS must be preceded by terror and Victory, is it to • be imputed to them as an offence, that they must employ force to dispossess Usurpation, which has thrust itself into their place, and appropriated to itself the property which is their's"? At this rate a Robber has only to establish himself in one's house to become the legal Proprietor of the man sion, and the attempt to oust the sturdy Ruffian by law and ar.ns, is to be esteemed a crime in „ . the rightful Owner. We shall not animadvert up on' the scandalous paragraphs which conclude this furious tirade against the House of BOURBON—as the Opponents of BUONAPARTE they have no right to expect either decent regard, justice, or truth, from the Morning Chronicle. Neither shall we go more deeply into the subsequent parts of this nauseating piece of Anti-British sophistry and falsehood, which thus proceeds : " The ancient Constitution of France having been corn. " pletely subverted by the Revolution, her new Kings wil " possess the most absolute authority, without the snialles " shadow of constitutional controul." We ask the learned Theban to prove this hy pothesis, and shew us in what rests the impos sibility of restoring with the Bou RBONS the ancient Constitution of France, aye, awl of improving it too for the good of tic people ?

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE LOSS OF THE QUEEN TRANSPORT. The transport, Queen, No. 332, - CARR, master, had brought horno 325 sick and invalided soldiers, 63 women, and 58 children, tram the British Army on the Continent, besides which she had on board 6 French Officers, prisoners of.war, and a crew of 21 . men, making a total of four htindred and seventy-Three persons. The ship was lying in Carrick Road, Falmouth, and,' we understand, was well moored. At the commence ment of the gale which has been attended with such fatal. effects, she was observed to riA hard, and at about five o'clock this morning (Friday) she parted her cables and drove ashore on Trefusis Point, where, in_a short time, she was beat to pieces. One hundred men and 4 women with great difficulty succeeded in getting ashore ; all the rest, perished with the ship. Thus 369 souls were, in. a few moments, hurried into eternity under . the most awful circumstances ! The bodies of five men, ten women, and nine children, have been washed on shore near Penryn, and a great nun►- her at Flushing. The above soldiers were all ar tillery-men, except al►out 32, who belonged to the 30tti Regiment of FOot.—(Cornecall Gazette.) Colonel BLOOMFIELD arrived in town yesterday from Hanover : he has brought letters from the Dukes of CAMBRIDGE and CUMBERLAND, and the Queen of WU RTEMBERG, to the PRIN CE REGENT, her MAJESTY, and other branches of the Royal Family. The latest letters received from Hanover are of the 6th instant. The Duke of CUMEER LAND had returned to Hanover from his visit to Strelitz. Sir THOMAS Ty FM' H ITT hod also arriv ed there from his visit to the Queen of WU R TEM BER G. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE has been actively employed in levying troops. He has raised four battalions of youths to add to the Le gion, who were zealous to enlist in defence of their; country. MONSIEUR, attended by the Conipte D'EscAns, was expected to leave London yesterday morn ing : the Duke of ANGOULEME and the Duke de BE ERI were to leave it last night ; the former will probably proceed to Lord WELLINGTON'S head -quarters .—(Morning Post.) The Russian Ambassador has frequent inter views with the Earl of LIVERPOOL. The Prince Ernest packet, which arrived at Falmouth with the dispatches and mail from Pas -sages, whence she sailed on the 12th - inst. brought passengers Lord Viscount BURY, Col. BINGHAM, Major RENY, 'Captain Ktaxmax, Lieut. MAHON, Rev. Mr. ARNOLD, and Messrs. HALL and KERR. ELOPEMEFT.—A young Lady, the daughter of 'a General Officer residing in the neighbourhood .of Russell-square, eloped yesterday morning from the house of her parent with her music-master.— ' The fair fugitive is only 16 years of age, beauti ful, and accomplished. Her enantoralo is of the Sister Kingdom, and by no means distinguished for his personal accomplishments. DRRADVUL EXPLOSION Or• GUNPOWDER.—Yes terday, about eleven o'clock, a dreadful explosion occurred at the manufactory belonging to Mr. Clitheroe, engineer, in Fleet-street-hill, Bethnal green, by the steam-engine taking tire while the machinery was working for the purpose of making fireworks. The premises, which were detached from the dwelling-house, were entirely consumed in a short time ; the windows in many of the houses about the neighbourhood were broken in consequence of the shock. Three persons, it is reported, that were working at the machinery, were dreadfully burnt with the powder, and con veyed to the Hospital. \\re arc sorry to learn that Mr. CLINE., the sur geon, in getting out of his carriage, unfortunate ly tell and broke one of his arms. c - oax-ExcnAscr., .tAx.

The only Mails that have reached the Post Of fice, at 12 o!clock to 7 day, were the Brighton, the Rye, and the Portsmouth. By the latter we learn, that nothing had arrived or sailed at that port. H. M. S. Blenheim, with the convoy for the Me diterranean, got under weigh, but brought up again at St. Helen's. The Leeds Mail due yesterday arrived this morn ing ; it was six hours. between Barnett and Lon don, a distance of only 11 - miles. The few letters received by the ,Brighton, Rye, and Portsmouth Mails, will not be delivered until after two o'clock, in the hope, of other coaches coming up ; but shOtild any of the Mails due to-day arrive after that hour, they will , : not be delivered until to morroW.

The dramatic Poem of Cato last night intro duced Mr. ji.jSIBT.E, for the third time this sea son, at Covent-Garden Theatre. The able and impressive' manner in which he bad heretofore performed the .Roman Sage is well known to the public, an►i as the text is so plain as to require no .critical reconsideration and scrutiny, he had only to give dignity and expression to the sentiments. His performance was throughout marked by ap propriate energy and truth, and he received abundantly the applause which he had so well de served. The part of Juba was represented by Mr. CONWkY it, is not exactly suited to his talents, and, therefore, he did not appear to so much ad-' vantage as on former occasions. As Mr. YouNG. has been permitted by the Managers to perform a few nights in the country, the part of Portius was allotted to Mr. ABBOT. There was a demand' for the -former on the opening of the drama, which. induced'Mr. ABBOT to come forward and modestly state, that, as he was discharging the duty assignest to hint, he hoped for indulgence,. and the pla"Y`Was then quietly permitted to pro-' ceed. THE WEATHER. In this capital, the great accumulation of snow already heaped on the ground, anti condensed by. three or four weeks of continued frost, was on Wednesday increased by a fresh' fall, to a -height hardly known in the memory of the oldest inhabi tants. The cold has been intensely severe, the snow during the last fall being accompanied with a sharp wind, and a little moisture; In many places, where the houSes are Old; it became ne necessary-t644lleve the roofs by throwing off the load collect - et - lA . IOn them and by these means the earriage-wayS the middle of the streets • are made of a depth hardly passable for pedestrians, while carriage§ with 'difficulty plough their way through the niaSs: - The water-pipes being gene rally frozen, it has become necessary for several days to afford supplies by opening the plugs in the streets, and the streams thus constantly flow.: ing, add to the general mass of ice. An enor mous increase has taken place in the price of coals, in consequence of the - river navigation and and other means of conveyance being so greatly impesled. It is said the reservoir of water on the top of Drury-lane The - fare; on Monday, overflowed, which inundated the Wardrobe room : the loss sustained is calculated at 1,000/. Yesterday • the Thames, from Blackfriars to London-bridge, at ebb tide, was completely blocked up. The continuation of the frost and snow has in- duced many Coach Proprietors, particularly in the Northern and Western roads,• not' to continue running their coaches until a change of weather shall take pl'aee.' In many places where the roads 'lie low, th'4 snow has drittid higher than the coaches, which was the, case yesterday morning as near town as Finchley Common. The snow had drifted into the road in the course of Wednes day night a depth of 16 feet, and it was impass able at first even to oxen. On Bagshot Heath there is a complete stoppage, and many accidents . have occurred by vehicles getting off the road.— . About Esher and Cobham again, the road is corm , pletely choaked up, and if there should happen more falling weather, conveyance must cease. It is with great difficulty the short stages make their way into town. Their progress is slower than even the ordinary pace of the heaviest wag gon. They are preceded by men to clear the way, and others at the' horses' beads' who lead them. All the morning coaches, with a few excep tions, which left town yesterday, either stopt on the way at a short distance, or were ohligf!d to return. The Trish are perhaps more expert at a heat joke than any other people; and the following, which may be reljekupon as a fact, is m) bad specimen of their readiness. -After the battle of Vittoria, the army advanced so rapidly, that it was impos sible to htike.bread, or even to find flour, and the soldiers had served out to them a certain quantity of wheat. In the course Of the day, the-Captain of a .Compary told his men that he wanted, for a particular service, twenty of the strongest fellows ; • upon which a Pat stepped forward with—" phase 'your Honour, is it 20 strong fellows yon want 1?" Sure now, a'nt we all strong as horses, for yon know we got a good feed of corn this morning•!'..- s 11 4 ' • 0 1 CC' )t , )1. 4 ve t r!-;c, „ va r'4 • h .4'04 cor4 W C' QO l !leo' iti is ,ri'- oc oft yll ll l l, D e ii°ll I~'£f tai \sr fr . f 00 !
