The defence of the extremities he for the pres'entleaves to his Lieutenants, while he endeavours to take care of himself, and fortify the, heart. Yet in the midst of his peril and dis May he adheres to all his assumed titles, and we'bave in this Decree the whimsical example of an. Usurper stiling himself the Protector of the Confederation of the Rhine, while calling out her citizens to protect Paris ; Mediator of the Swiss Confederation, when he is incapable of mediating a peace to save his own carcase; and king of ITALY, when there are four hundred thousand Invaders with arms in.their bands, advancing against him on French ground ! What would our Chronicle gentry say'to such a Proclamation, addressed to the Trained Bands of. London and Westminster Volunteers ? How would these admirers-of Buo- NAPARTE like to be thus -called out, the old and the young, the healthy 'and the infirm, the strong and the weak;----all to serve under the eye of their great Chief, unless their nearest •relative should be contented to . offer a personal sacrifice for their redemption- 7 -a son for a father, or a brother for a brother ? No substitutes allowed— because those wit.) might be procured as substi tutes will 'all be wanted on their own account ; the necessitis of the Tyrant can dispense with no idle hands. A. letter from Vesoul," prepres us for the fall of Finningen and Bifort. The fogs have greatly facilitated the advancement of the ,Siege carried on against the former, and a heavy complaint is brought for the use of CONGREVE RoCkets in the bombardment. The,French Chemists arc invok 7 ed to invent (if they can) siinitar engines, so that the generous Enciny may " fight on equal terms," since we no loner live in .such chivalrous times as those described by Hudibras, whet' The law of arms did bar The use of renom'd shot, in war. In truth CONGREVCS Rockets, in effect upon the spirits of the Corsican's adherents, seem to re semW the Cossacks—there is no resisting such barbarous expedients. They are, y however, dread ful in execution, and almost deserve the descrip tion, of them given by General WITGENSTEIN, when asked his opinion of their merits, after the battle of Leipsick—‘."They look (he replied) as if they were made in Hell, and . surely are the Devil's own artillery." The French funds sink lower every day. In . our last Page we bare inserted the remain= der of the Paris Papers received -on Tuesday.— There is anothe - r lung disquisition, in which- the policy of France and. England is expounded and contrasted, but Iva no great skill. The argu ment is altogether inconsistent. In one part England is pourtrayed as . a' very weak power ; in another, where it better suits the hypothesis, as the strongest in the world, Her Empire is here spoken of as one which any effort would suffice lo break ; there, as the bulwark of the Universe, en riched and augmented in force by the spoils of all other nations. The picture, as might be supposed, is drawn with all the partiality of a partizan. — France is figured as the most frank, generous, unambitious State in the world ; England as tht most crafty, designing, and perfidious of all na-, tions. We are told'that " she is rather dexterous than strong;": that she is " weak in herelf and little fotmidable ;" while, .on the .other - hand, nature herself has made France powerful."— What then becomes of the terror of England, With which the writer would wish to inspire the con tinental Powers ? They can have nothing to fear from a weak and little formidable country; but they have • every thing to dread from a, country such as he assures us France is, " made powerful by nature." Thus One side of the reasoning com pletely stultifies the other, and the agent of the cors - ican himself shews us good grounds for the pre ference which tlie European Powers must feel even fur British preponderancy in contradistinction to French preponderancy. Neither, in fact, are to be desired; but were it brought to the dilemma, that one. or other must of necessity exist, there can ,be no doubt, but that Russia, Prussia, Austria, &c. would be less jealous of it in the hands of Britain, a State which " seemed incapable of in vading their territory," or menacing their inde pendance, than in the hands of France, which has demonstrated, to their Skit experience, that she could do both. Similar in accuracy to this blupdering mode of ratiocination is the character attempted to be attached to all the wars in which France . has been engaged. These, forsooth, ha , e been only defensive—she has been " accused. of ambition, while her efforts had no other object titan that of. maintaining her independance, and insuring her repose." Her very co quests have been forced up on herunde'r this defensive System. Spain, Por tugal, Holland, and the Hanse Towns, and the German States on the left of the Rhine, and the Pays de Vaud, and Venice, and Genoa, and Tus. cany, -aild-Maples, and the estates of the.Chureli, and the Milanese, aitd Flanders,' and Hanover, and even•.lnssia and Prussia, &c. &c. &c. her mo derate and pAcific Rulers never desired to seii.e: these trifling acquisitions Were' absolutely et ermis .annexed to unwilling and -contented Prince.. So very unambitious indeed has she been,.." that even down to these. latter times, several ,ages of Warp, as one may ... say hereditary, have prcicured her no: other advantage . than that of recovering two or. three provinces, which were from the , ear- , liest times Integral parts of the Monarchy.", -- In these " latter times,'' thank Heaven, this assertion approachesnearer the truth than- it could have done at any period during , the last - fifteen years ; but we. owe the obligation to the victories of our Allies and our on exertions, and not to, th4moderation. of France. These are the source of the difference between 1812 and :1814, while the situation of. the 'world in the former year speaks volumes in' refutation of any false preten sions that the enemy can set up, either to mode ration or justice: The same view, too, will. silence the aspersions thrown upon, Eng land. Glorious England, : which has protected every State unable to save itself from the rapaeity of the French dominion.—England to which every oppressed people fly.at once for succour—of this England these must be felt to be' only lies and_ libels uttered by the base Adventurer, whose pro ject of universal despotism , she alone has defeated,. "We see no wars which she has not inflamed, eii-' .couraged, maintained ; no weak nation which has been safe from her attacks; no pawer which she has not agitated, deceived, betrayed by rendering it the victim or the instrument of her ambitious designs." There are in these Papers, also, several pro ductions of the Parisian writers, to which •ire prefixed dates from Switzerland, &c. They are clumsy, and obviously false fabrications. The snow fell on -Monday and Tuesday, night in the, West of England to a greater depth than has been known in that districrfar the fast forty pears ; it being tWelve.feet deep :in the niiddlp of the road on llalldown„ 'four miles beyond Exeter.. The mails between Exeter, Falmouth, Shaftsbury, and Tavistock, have been unable to proceed. '[hefall of snow in Wales has been nearly equal, and the. Milford, Holyhead, Chester, and Shrewsbury mails .have', been much impethid. The Glasgow mail 'has not been able to reach Carlisle. , The Bremen Papers, contain the Pi eliminary Treaty .bet w een Gt•eat Britain an§Austria, signed the 3d of October, by the Lad of ABERDEEN; and Connt METTERNICH, by which the Emperor Of AUSTRIA engages to employ all 7 his forces against the common enemy, and the British Governuient to support by every weans in its power his exer-, tions, and both parties are pledged not to enter into any separate negociation, or, to conclude any peace, armistice, or convention; unless by mutual consent. Movements are said to have taken place in Piedmont, in favour of the, ling of SARDINIA. We have reason to believe,,tbat all the Members of the Royal - House of France are ready and will ing to present themselves to the wishes • of their. countrymen. That there should exist in any quarter adoubt of the propriety of their so doing, is tnost unaccountable. Orders, we understand, have been, given for. all the disposable troops of the line in the diffet ebt depots of the United Kingdom, to hold them selves: in immediate readiness for embarkation, They are to proceed to Holland and to the French frontiers, to,reintorce Lord WELLINGTON", but the greater proportion is supposed to' be intended for the latter destination. The whole of the regiment of Royal Horse Guards (Blue) are under orders for service, and, it is said, will join their gallant comrades at pre sent with the Marquis of WELLINGTON. • The new Opera and Pantomime at Drury-lane Theatre were last night honoured with the pre sence of his ,Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, who seemed-much pleased with the whole even ing's performance. , CHARLES KEMBLE is playing in Edinbnrgh to crowded houses, and the .admiration of the northern connoisseurs.

His Royal Highness then proceeded to - the Chapel with the usual ceremonial, through the State-rooms, - which were extremely crowded. On his arrival, iIie:PRINTg REGENT took his seat in the centre of .the Royal . Closet ; the - Duke of Yoni sat to his right, in the front; the State Attendants. stDod behind. Among those present svere'the Archbishop of CANTERBURY ' the Bishops of SALISBURY and CARLISLE, Lords LlvEnPoot. and BATHURST, and a numerous assemblage of persons of distinction.

Mr. CAN NING, their Representative, to that place: Jong BOLTON ! ' Esq. was 'in the Chair. Atter dinner, When the usual loyal and 'constitutional toasts and sentiments had been given, and Mr. CANNING'S health had been drank with three times three andthe , utmost applause, that Gentleman arose, and deliver ed a speech ,whieli,in point ofeloquen ce,son arg.e went, and animated patriotism, has perhaps seldom been equalled. In the e6urse of what fell from hint he took the opportunity,, after having expreoed his exultation on the glorious events oa the Con tinent, and on the perseverance of this country, in the principles of wise and dignified national policy, to-pay respect to. the memory of Mr..PITT.. Gentlemen expressed their'sentiments, and we regret, that we.have only room to' add, that the day passed off in the triumph of loyalty and patriotism. The present manner of spending Christmas, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, still preserves some traces. of antiquity. It is customary for a party of singers, chiefly' Women, to continence, at the feast of St. Martin, a. peregrination round the neighbouring villages, ,carrying with them a small waxen image of - our Saviour, adorned with boX and other -ever greens ; at the same time singing a hymn.----7 This custom .is continued till 'Christmas-Eve, when their " good living" begins. Every rustic dame pi'edaces a cheese, upon which, before any part of it is tasted, rude incisions_are made to represent thecross. -With this and frumity, made of barley ail& meal,- the cottage affords -tm 7 interrupted hospitality. .A large fire is stillutinie on C hritmas 7 Eve, on. which the " yule-clogs", are piled, and a fragment of a log is, yearly pre served - by everyprudenthousewile.--The-yule-elog• appears to be a relic of Pagan superstition, and is the offspring of those fires and sacrifices which _the ancient idolatrous inhabitants of this island made to the sun, to hail his genial return again to Communicate warmth and fertility to atitre. This relic is considCred as the great preserver of .thefamily froni every misfortune, the palladium of their health and prosperity during theyear..
