L 0 N D 0 N. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 32 1 1804. WI some time ago informed pur Readers that a mediation was on foot in order to produce such a cordial union between an illustrious Perionage and his auest Sire, as becomes their rank in the State, and their relative connexion ; and.we expressed our hopes that this most laudable mediation was likely to be attended with consequences in the highest degree gratifying to a loyal People. It it with the utmost pleasure we state that our hopes have been justified by the event, and that this day an interview was to take place at kew between those two exalted eharglers whose happiness is most dear to every true ftiend of his KING and Country. THOUGH WC have already given an account of Oe'diabolical attempt on the part•of the execrable Usurper of France to destroy the rightful Monarch of that Country, and his relatives, at WariaW, yet the transaction is so important and interesting, that we are persuaded our-Rene** . will be glad to see a fuller detail of it, particularly as it comes in such a shape of circumstantial authenticity as can leave little doubt in the mast sceptical mind. When we first communicated this nefarious transaction to the world, we observed, that we considered it , as a part of the flagitious system which the Corsican Monster his adapted, and that every . Potentate, ad. verse to his views, would probably be exposed to poison or assassination by his emissaries. Accord. ingly, we find it is confidently reported, that the KING of SwEnarr, in hie . ourney !torn Bohemia to Munich, was very near being the viditn of 'an at. tempt to dispatch him by a poisonous mixture. There is certainly no crime at which that appro. brium of his species, the Corsican thurper, has hesitated in pursuit of his present elevation,_ and it Is equally certain that he will no less trample up.;n justice and humanity in order to secure it. The Columns • of a Morning Paper. notoriously hostile to every measure - that Government has adopted during the late and prese nt W ar , h av e for . the last three weeks. teemed with-rancorous invec. • tivei against all the friends of order, r ho. were con. ccroed in the recent Middlesex 'Eleetion, particularly, against the worthy Sheriff; for having d duty. Finding its own for4l . of spleen and lity neatly exhausted, the Paper alluded to has re. sorted to an auxiliary 'channel, for more non ensical jargon against the conduct of Administration. This is indeed " to ChroniCle Small Beet...! We arc not however in the - least surptiSed . that such Miter's Is those in question 'should feel thetriselves chagrined on finding that• His MiljestY's'Ministers . were.adopt. Ing , those a(ti we Measures.which cannot fail to ensure si prompt and decisive vitlory, shOuld the insulting Enemy dare to invade our shores; but this is what they least'of all tVish— , their objeel 'is. that ciin, , . Fusion, disorder, and disgrace should ensue, tiowe ver produdive of evil to others, .would to them furnish a rich harvest for, the. indulgence of their virulent abuse.—lt is to them a suhje6t ,of rending sorrow, to• observe the friends of a mild and just GoVernment'voiuntarily contributing their aid fur khe'prOmotion of the public service, because such a measure prevents the necessity of potting in -praftice that coersive power which the Law has wisely placed in the hands of the Executive branch Of our Constitution on certain urgent occasions, and which if necessary to be exercised, would sup.' ply art Inexhauslible subject 'of animadversion to those dissatisfied Writers,—We well' remember that during. Mr. AouiNoTort's Administration, their cry was that no Continental Alliance was to be 'looked for under such a weak and inefficient Go. verninent, anti expressions of regret and lamenta. ;ion, on that account, filled the Cbronicles of the day. But now that every hope is entertained of a speed); and 40141 alliance with the Northern Powers, they' are at the greatest pains to , demonstrate that no such co. peration can be Of any u s e. When it is rumoured that the Russian Flect,has passed the Sound, they lose no time to insinuate that it would have' as. slated the cause more effedually by remaining in the 13altie. The senseless declainatiOn to which the gar Ev,peditions have given vent in the chief Oppo. anion Paper, is perfectly 'consistent with the mall. tions views by which it constantly direaed a n d, accordingly, it .takes an opportunity to resume its ackneyid inveCtives against tbe unsuccessful Expe. dour to join to the catalogue, the, brilliant Exiedi. tion imEgypr, and the successes that invariably , at. tended our arms in the East and West Indies. For • !: our own part, we knOw of no Expedition likely to take place at present, and we are confident swe hazard little in asserting, that they exist only-in the disturbed imagination of the:Writers., We feel ourselves perfeftly Satisfied in knowing that Govern. menr has provided most effeCtually for our Setnrity at home, and in our Colonies ; and that our Com. merck, unparalleled for its present extent, is corn. pletely proteCted ; whilst our boasting Enemy, with • all his Fleets and Flotillas, has not a single Ship , that dares put to sea; his Colonies are ruined, and Trade annihilated. It cannot fail .to humble the pride of the upstart Emperor to refleet, as he must, that the Tea and Cofer he drinks must be brought to him . (torn the Colonies, and from the East, in BRITISH BOTTOMS. • .

In a Letter .of the 7th instant, from Berlin, it is stated, that the news of BONAP ART It'S attempt to poison Lots is XVIII. has caused such indignation in that City, that his .Minister, LA FOREST, has been insulted, both in the streets, and. .in the theatre, l,y the public ; and, whilst at-Court, and in the Cassino, 'every Member of the Diplomatic Corps; with the exception of the Italian and Bata.. vian Ministers, shunned him, and avoided to Speak to him.' This indignation was - au4mented after the arrival of another courier with the information Of BUN ArAR TE'S Commercial Agent, BOY BR's, new endeavours, either to bribe over with money, or to intimidate by threats the Frenchman, COULUN, 'who discovered ,this base and, atrocious plot. It is said, that the conduft. of President liOyg has been approved of, though LA FOREST insists upon his dis missal for having gone too far.
