Hut if the present is for us a subject of grief, the future can at

arrived at St. Cloud at three o'clock, and were conducted shortly
afterwards to the apartment of the King, their Great Uncle. They
left at live o'clock, and. as they quitted the Tuileries to return to
St. Cloud, the crowd threw themselves in their passage, shouting
repeatedly. Vic le BA ! Potent Fe, Roxrbons !
Although the King the day before yesterday presented himself
before the Tribunal of Penitence, his Majesty confessed again yes-
terday. We arc assured that at the moment when the Grand Al-
moner arrived, the King said to 31ousieur, " My !nether, you have
affairs which claim your presence—l nisu have duties to fulfil ;"
words worthy of s son of Louis, and which remind us of what

FIRE AT ST. CHRISTUFHEKS.

ST. KITT'S, JUST 22.

Between the hours of one and Inn ti clerk' eni iiitialay
morale', the inhabitants of this town and its vicinity wore
aroused by an alarm of fire, which was discovered to pro-
' cevd from the premises of Joseph Adlarn, Esq.. el Mite
Biker's Corner. Hundreds of persons inneedistely rt.-
paired to the spot, where the fire had commetwed in a shop
cmt guous to the dwelling-house, to which it communi-
cated with such astonishing rapidity, that the whole ercr.
ture was in a few moments one entire mass of Came, e,,,.r.,t,
with a vielence that for a considerable time sletiol entry
effort to arrest its progress. At this dreadful mennitt, the
whole town accrued tlevotcsl to destruction, from the im-
mense volume of the devouring element which i•Slltil /Wit

ward, the houses on the opposite side of the street mutt in-

valuable town would hay: been at the present moment ere
general heap of ruins. From Mr. Adlam s, the fire reselittl
the next house, en the same line, recopied II Mr. We-
jamin Watson ; this was a brick building, and the flouts
therefore had not materials to feed upon to such an tweet
as at Mr. Aillaties, whose buildings were of w.vd, and iu
whose cellars a large quantity of run' and brandy la ight-
encd the conflagration ; but the roof, windows, and tut,'
consumable part of Mr. Watson's house were reduced to
ashes. The flames, yet tit:subdued, it was feared, would
extend to the adjoining houses, and it was scronlingly
deemed necessary to level them with the earth, which as
effected, after great exertion ; but, we regret to add, that
this sacrifice to the general safety has placed their late in•
mates in a state of painful thstitution. Om of the Parish
engines (one only, we understand, being in a condition to
be used) was brought into play at an early period; but,
though supplied and worked with the utmost alacrity by
several individuals, whew active and indefatigable ex-
ertions claim the highest prahe, it availed but little on the
great body of fire against which it was directed. The con-
flagration did not extend beyond Mr. Watson's, Lid about
day-light the danger was at an end.
It is impossible to estimate the amount of the loss VP
tained. Mr. Adlam has suffered very considerably ; v:
