Nor can any era offer amore appropriate opportunity for such institu tion than the conclusion of a general Peace ; and to a general Peace, thank Heaven ! we can now With safety look forward, nor fear to exclaim, • At nubis, Pax alma vent, spicamque tenet° r " FALKLAND."

St. Onen, Bat neither of these objects can be accomplished, if the plan of the Constitution which was pre pared for the acceptance of his MAJESTY ,were adopted. We endeavoured yesterday. to sbew that the Senate, as at present constituted,. has no possible claim to hold such a controuling power in the Constitution of France. We do not wish. to speak with indiscriminate censure of all Members of that Body ; but we may surely ask upon what grounds, and for what services, they claim for themselves now, and for their descend ants for ever, ,the right of controuling the wishes . of the' ing and - the People of France. They are, as we yesterday stated, unconnected either with the King- or the People. They were chosen by BtJONAPARTE, and paid by hint to answer his own purpose ; and that p ur p ose they did answer as long as he had any chance 'of maintaining his power, or paying their salaries. When that Usurper seized the sovereign authority in France, he did not think it quite prudent to declare' himself an absolute Monarch ; he therefore thought to delude the people by constituting two Botties,.called a Senate and a Legislative Body ; but he meant to make them, and be did make them, perfect cyphers. To the Legislative Body, if freely elected, there can be no objection ; but the existence of the Senate, as at present con stituted, is-incompatible with the establisbnient of a free Constitution. They are paid by the Crown, and we have already seen bow devoted they can be to the Power by whiel they are paid. There are many other minor points,. which we think highly objectionable ; but they all sink in comparison with the one to which we have alluded• A Dutch Mail arrived last night, with Papers to the Bth inst. The Helder, the forts, and the fleet, were given up on the - sth 'to the Sovereign Prince of HOLLAND. The fortresses of Naarden, Wesel, and Deventer, have been also surrendered. The principal contents of these Papers will be found in our last page. Colonel CAMPBELL, we understand,-has sent to Government a minute detail of all the circum stances that attended the removal of BuONAPARTE to his destination. EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED PARIS, MAY 7. Lord WELLINGTON was at the Opera last night, and received with grand Vices. " The escape-of BUONA PARTE was narrow and miraculous. Colonel CAMPBELL, and other Of ficers, mounted the top of his voiture, and abso lutely defended him by force against, violent as saults, stones, and missiles of every kind. At length he disguised himself in parts of the dress of Russian, Prussian, and British escort,,and fled on horseback. It is a curious fact, - that he as sumed the name of Lord BURGHERSH." The Francis Freeling packet, with a'Mail from Lisbon, is arrived at Falmouth, but the mail will aot'be in town until to-►norrow. The Court Martial upon Admiral STIRLING is terminated. The charges were for taking money for affording the protection of King's ships to merchantmen. The Court decided, that the charges were in part proved ; and the sentence was, that Admiral STIRLING should remain in the I - Tall-pay List, and that he should receive no further promotion in the Navy. A Eiony of the isTew French Cdristitntion has been received in town, is said to be ofliCial • We have already givell an outline of it, and at preset have not room td enter into particulars nor is it necessary that We should, as it will soon be the subject of the most solemn discussion by the highest Authorities of France. Twenty-fiVe millions of francs;exclusive of the private demesnes of the KING and those of the Crown, are fixed for his MAJESTY'S annual expenditure. A pro portionabre provision is to be made for the other branches of the Royal Family. The ConscOption is, ,of course, to be abolished ; and due regula tions are form4d for the Army, And Peace and War Establishments, which are td be fixed accord ing to law. The Legislative Bodies are to .deter mine the important qUestions of PEACE and WAR, subject, howevef,..to the following restriction : "War cannot be decided upon but by the special Decree of the Two Chambers, upon tile formal and necessary proposi- , Lion• of the KING, and sanctioned by his MAJESTY. " When the Legislative Bodies shall deem the causes and objects legitimate and admissible, war shall be declared by the KING in the name of the French Nation. It shall then be defined national, and the necessary supplies shall be pre- "Aram Twe Chambers,shall decide that warought not to made, the KING shall order hislvlinisters, on their responsi bility, to adopt, without delay, measures for the cessation or prevention of all hostility. "'lt apkitains to the KING to conclude and sign all Trea 7 ties of Peace, Alliance, and Commerce, and other Conventions with Foreign Powers, which he shall deem advantageous for ,the State; but such Treaties and Conventions shall not take effect until they be ratified by'the Legislative Bodies." There are many other points relative to Public Liberty, the National Possessions, Political Rela tions, Military Preparations, &c. &c. which we do not think it necess,ary to notice till the whole shall be discussed, arranged, and adopted.

The Duchess remained at the rooms nearly four hours,. and at eight o'clock yeturned •to the Royal Hotel . to dinner. Mr. WILDAY, with his accustomed attention to the comforts of his guests, served up the dinner, in high style, on a complete service of plate. The general attention paid to her perial Highness and Suite, consisting of 20 per sons; gave them the greatest pleasure. On Friday the Duchess inspected the following Manufactories : Mr. SMALL'S Papier-mache; MESSENGER and PntrsoN's - Brass-founderies MUNT and Co.'s Steam Mills, &c. &c. After which she went to Mr. BO.ULTON'S, Soho, and was shown over the .whole of that magnificent esta blishment, with which she appeared highiy lighted. A splendid dejeune was provided for her Highness by Mr. Boni -Tor:, after partaking of which she returned. to Birmingham, and at five o'clock proceeded on her• route to Worcester. It rained and snowed almost incessantly during the time of the Puchess's stay in the town, but the populace were not prevented by the weather front attending upon her Highness : the hells rang throughout the ,day, and she was saluted by re peated huzzas. Her Highness was remarkably affable ; and returned the salutations of the people by bowing repeatedly to them!

Yesterday at two o'clock a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, which sat till about four, when Mr. MONROE , the King's Messen ger , was sent off with dispatches to Viscount CA3TLE REACH, at Paris. Early on Saturday morning Colonel KNotoxT, who has distinguished himself in all Gen. BLU CHER'S battles, arrived at 11 ENDERSON'S Hotel, New Palace-yard.

The heroic General BLUCHER having signified his intention, through the Prussian Minister, of passing over to England in a short time, to pay his respects to the PRINCE REGENT, it must,be highly gratifying to the Public to he informed, that the most gracious invitation has been return ed by his Royal Highness, in which is expressed a desire that the valiant Veteran may give himself no trouble about a residence here, as apartments will immediately be prepared for his reception at Carlton House. It is said that many of the Marshals of France have expressed their willingness to give up their foreign titles, the KING on his part being inclined to bestow on them other dignities.

This accomplished female has, for the first time, ventured on that style of Novel which simply bears upon the " flat reali•. ties of life"—a line of writing in which she seems eminently to ex.el. It is, indeeq, the interest of the Novelist (who is par eat the servant of the many, not the minister of the few) to aban dots pure abstractions and thick-coming fancies to Phi. losophers and Poets; to adopt rather than create; to combine rather than invent ; and to Jake tore and manners for the grounds and groupingi o f works, which are professedly addressed to po pular feelings awl ideas. 4 View of the Genius and Literature of the FrenA Nation, during the 18th Century.=-Tl►e Ene,lish Public have long desired to see a Translation of this instructive and delightful volume, which has been pronounced by the monthly Reviewers to be one of the most useful specimens of original and profound thinking that has appeared in our era.
