Lie said that 700 others would soon follow, having already left Russia. , Among these he :rtarned several officers, whose adventures he de tailed, and greatly rejoiced their Jelatiwes, who believed them dead. He got many presents, and a direction to Fritzlsr, to he received again into the hussar regiment. He soon after committed a robbery, and was arrested ; on which he confessed that he had never been in Russia, but had invented . his story to get ,money. ST.

Many Articles are unavoidahly postponed. THE SUN. BOUM QUI3 FALsUNI AUMMT LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 8, 1817. The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday reached us this morning. M. de Gueven, a Dutch Priest, has arrived at Oin — e, - as it is believed, on an important mission, viz. that of reconciling the schisms which distract th! Belgian Church. Tic Fgate of the Irish CA tholicks hi also said to occupy much of the atten tion of the Roman Court. A Letter from Lausanne of the 28th mentions a number of successive earthquakes, up to the 14th, which have affected the whole chain of the Alps, and caused much iert:or as well,. as injury by ava lanches. The French Funds are filleted at 63, 60. oo Pi May. 'Two American vessels have anchored at Pa- It'is conjectured that - they bring the 1,i,! Beioltitioni'of the Coniress relative to the recl,i nuition made by Mr. PINcKNBY. It is further conjectured that some difficulties still exist in these negocintions, as the Americans were not allowed to ewer the Port directly. It is stated that''Prince fiL t itDBNBERG is pre. poling a generid law forintrodtming the Liberty of the Press into i‘;hidt will be rOm gated.prior to the New Constitution. • . • - The Bishop'of GIIHNT has, it seems, only re tired to his country house on the French frontiers. A letter from Lisbon of the Gth March notices the arrival there of many English Officers in the Portuguese service, who have been ordered to join their respective corps. It further states, that General liEnEsFortp had set out for London (to which great interests chlled him), after inspecting every one of the strong places on the, frontiers between .Spain and Portugal. The Portuguese Army is affirmed to be on a respectable footing. A hope is tacked to the end of these tvat like state ments, that an amicable adjusunent of existing disputes may be effected. • It appears that the reclamations in Spain, with regard to Olivenza, has occasioned sonic military preparationkin Portugal. A subseqttent column contains the very satis factory statement of the improving Finance of the Country, which, by anticipation, we promised our Readers. The result of the whole is a stir , plus of revenue above the expenditure of the quarter, of 687,8781. No wonder thefunds rise, and the disappointed faction write tomes to prove that this is owing to every cause but the true one—the renewed security, and increased and increasing prosperity qf the Country. To laugh, might be to sh..:w a want of grnee; But to be grave, exceeds all power of face. The seply of BERNADOTTE to the Swedish Addressers is curious. While it affects to stile Counter-ltevolutioni ReVolution, it in the- same 'moment reprobates and vindicates revolutionary principles. The plain meaning of this absurdity, into which BEEINADOTTE found himself irresistibly driven, is, that RevolutiOn was and is good exactly so lays it placed him upon a Throne, and nor a step farther. The person and the thing, for which consistency is renonuced, - ought terbelv.ell worth the sacrifice :—at all events, if consistency must he renounced, the less said about the renunciation, the better. We do not like to see it argued upon, and dwelt upon, with so much 'gratuitous com placency. Let us put the question to its fair test.---S4- pose a traveller just landed in Europe, wholly ignorant of her last three year's history, should read this speech of BERNADoTTE'S, and then be told, that her Sovereigns had coalesced to pat flown not only the effects, but the principles Of Revo lution that they had succeeded in their Coali tion ; and that the rightful Monarchs of Fran ce IN:Thrlos 'flirt been recoqtr-1 on t l ) ei , thrones. ....Suppose this traveller enquiring after GUSTAVUS AtioLrutts.—Suppose the answer which of course must he given,—SupP9seJihn.then saying--"'Yoti " wish to deceive me. Revcilation is still in her " full vigour. see one legitimate Sovereign " stilt excluded from his throne : 1 cannot believe " the others restored to their's. ll —lmagine then the surprise, the incredulity, with which this stranger bears the sequel :—when be is assured, that the thieves of revolution are broken up, and its receivers ungorged ; that Louis is quietly in Paris, and FERDINAND in Naples ; that BUONA. PARTE is transported, and MURAT executed...-. No—lie will never believe it. And, indeed, how should he ?---GusTAvus did no more titan what the . 'other legitimate Sove reigns have done, except that he did it at a diffetent time, and perhaps in a bolder manner. He was the only Continental Sovereign who did not, in one eligency or the other, shake hands with Re volution : and .be is the only Continental Sore reign who has not either recovered or retained his Throne. We might call it hard, but we will only call it curious, that he should. suffer by the same principle whereby they have prospered. We will also call it curious that hiS—successor we were going to say—that his excluder should, in revolu tionary language, and upon revolutionary .doc trines, deprecate revolution. BERNADWITE has advanced - soine positions which might have suited a professed Revolution ist, holding by his sword the gains of his award ; and others, ‘s hich might have suited a ligititnate Monarch, Itnid.ng by his right the descent of his right. He did not like to be the former, and he could not be the latter : he managed, therefore, to mix them up together, and fancied himself to possess the advantages of both with the disad vantages of neither. This impossible union can have no other effect than to induce the . advantagea of neither wick the disadvantages of hiuh. For the first time we have learned, that :ft Dynasty of half a dozen years is upon the fundamental laws" of an ancient kiogdom. We are now . talking of principles, not of acts : or we should advert more strongly to the assertions, that " the free choice" of Sweden altered the inheritance of her Throne ; and that its present inheritor ‘f.'clid nut seek it." We shall stipulate only for retaining our own opinion, and snake no comment on the phservation, that 1321INADO did not cause the expulsion of the legitimate So vereign : but it may be permitted us to mum ber, that 1313RNADOTTEL ,OCCURies his Throne.— " Occupy l—That word occupy wilt- become al ‘' most as scandalous as the word captain !" Truly, it is of small import to GusTAVus, whb drove him out, while he sees who keeps him out. As little shall .we observe on the inference, that BERNAnOTTR'S then master bad no concern with thii " free choice," and that be himself was not sent to Sweden for the interests of revolutionary France. We shall be told presently, that But* NAPARTE had no hand in the expulsion of Gus:- TAvus. No, certainly : not so much as a little linger. But when we arc told that Sweden, in " casting her eyes" about for the.object of drip " tree choice," looked only among " Princes, '' and found BRRNADOTTE among theM, We cannot escape from remembering his revolutionary title. It is indeed forced upon us by what we were going to term the Gusconades, hot which we will deco rously term the indulgences of an old soldier who has fought himself up to a commission. His "faculties" and his " reputation," anal his "glory" and his " services," and the rest of liis revolu tionary'property, are all brought forward to. yin 'Neste his admission among Anti-rerolutiouary Sovereigns. .And they, truly, are to *recognise, as his " title and pledge," the " sword" which was raised against them, and,the "deeds" which were committed for the advancement of revolution. Even this might have been passed over.— Rat, as the Vicar of Wakefield prevented his wife's get ting into a passibn, by first getting into one himself, BERNADOTTE pre-occupics the - ground by begin ning about his gin) descentor want of :descent. Instead, hoWever; of saying what he is, lie in fOrms us of what'he is not ; and with rollocking carelessness of family, which sits so suitably on the occupier of GUSTAVUS'S long in heritance, he glorieS•inlavingno ancestry.' This is a most comfortable disclaimer :—something like the dwarf of five feet two, who thanked God that he bad not the misfortune of bei4 six feet high, like the unhappy well-wade gentleman that stood alongside of him. • The scoff at the prejudices of birth—for so, in deference-to the feelings of the Swedish Crown- Wince we will stile them—comes with peculiar 'grace from his Royal Highness.—That he is• not descended 'front << CHARLES MAftTisti" was not, a sufficient boast :—he must inforns them also, triuniphantly, that he is not, descended from their national Warrior and Legislator and Soveriign L.I. t t.. 0 l is not only not Li-v , 41. but that it not Swedish :—that a stranger sits'in the ball of " ODIN," and on the throne 'Of . GUSTAVUS.= Really, while this curious intelligence 'was an nounced to the Swedes as a matter of triumph, and coupled %%MI a compliment to their " loyalty,", we almost wonder that the non-descendant of Onmt did not inherit ODIN'S death, and die laugh.' ing. • • This, however, is SWEDEN'S business :—thank God, it is not ours.—We are not even surprised at it.—We have seen too many strange things during the late Revolution, to wonder hotv,anyi thing got anywhere. Now that Revolution , has been put down, we might wonder how anything remains.—But no—we remit all this to the atm *, leseed Sovereigns, an d t o t h e i r o wn good tini; looking in the interim with all due patience on this reniuuut of itevolutio'n. It is said that the Duke of KENT is expectAd to IA in England in the course of the pt emit month. No- French Mail arrived yesterday ; but, in the course of the day, an express reached town flow Paris, with an account that the French Funds were done as high on Saturday as 64 francs and about 50 cents. They left of on that day at 64 francs and upwards. lhondlolland nod Switzer land particularly, many agents have recently ar rived at Paris, with a view to make investments in the Freueli Much mystery still hangs over the affair of the Crown Prince of SWEDEN. They think it strange at - Hamburgh that. T 717 official or regular account of the attack on the Prince should have been pub lished. The proclamations and addresses hither to promulgated in the Swedish Papers, tend more to confound the truth than to develope facts. The most pleasing intelligence trout the Conti nent relates to the weather, which is said to be as fine throughout Germany as it has recently beet in England. The immediate effect is a diminu tion in file price of corn, which has .hecome pro gressively cheaper for some time past. • - The RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR gave a grand erste tainment on Sunday, to the Officers of the ltnsito frigmte and transport, -General Baron Ditasti!', and a numerous putty, at his residence in Haig street. The Duchess of ST. LED, Ex•Queett of lidlarftl, has purchased a handsome residence at Aioburg, where she will he in'the immediate neighhurhood of her brother EUGENE, resident for be tui4l' part at Munich.
