• WEDNESDAY, JAnumtv 3.

We this day eve the &mad of • Series of Letters
to Lord ELuow, Lo►d High Chancellor of Eng-
land, respecting a covert and insidious attack, wade,
wider the auspices of his Lurdbliip, upon the liberty
of the press. They are preparatory to a Petition
to Parliament, iu the.ensoing session, praying re-
lief against this arbitrary ■nd unconstitutional pro-
ceeding.

We this slay continue the Correspondence be.
tweed the American Secretary Mr. Soma, and
Mr. Jacusox.

As a proof how little the seep, performed by
Box APARTE, by JOSEPHINE,' aud by her son, how-
ever decorously acted in public, can have been
grateful to the frelings of the repudiated Empress
and Queen. we are oersted that great repugnance
was testified by the Elector of BiTsIIA to Snit
Paris at this time. He is said to have expressed
himself, before several of his courtiers, at Npu-
pheuburg, in animated, not to say indignant
terms, on the humiliation intruded for the mother
of the man, to whom, by NAPOLEON'S command,
he had given the Priocess, his daughter, in mar-
riage. In fact, the divorce, thoegh qualified by
the Corsican, with his characteristic subtilty and
cunning, inflicts no mean wound on EuGittis
BaAL-
uaanuts. It is added, that BONAPARTE, aware of
the inferences that would be drawn, all over the
Coutiuent, from the absence or non-appearance of
his Bavarian King and Queen, among the vassal dud
Family Plurrchs, assembled to witness and sari lion
by their presence, Isis divorce, sent peremptory or-
ders to Munich, to the French Minister, OTTO, to
signify ti Maxis' UAW Jus►rn, that his presence
at Paris, by a certain day, was indispensable. The
tnesimge was delivered without ceremony or delay,
and an lament answer demainled. After two hours'
deliberation, his Bavarian Majesty acquiesced.
Orr* dispatched an express to France, signifying
the assent, 'and was immediately promoted by Nt-
ruxioss to th- erubesay at Vienna. After lengutaii.
ing near six years set Munich, he now supersedes
AMISH:OOSi it the Court of Austria; just as ANDRE.
OM. in lecie, replaced Tern bete in London.
We observe, that their Bavarian Majesties arrived
at Paris on the 22e1 of December. EPEEIST BEAU..
seaxuts. their soli-in-law, went a league 'to meet
them ; and bosiarstere visited them at the Hotel
Merboarifi %LAs same day. Bat these exterior
appearances, and submissions to necessity, will not
heal the sound caused by the iepitiiiation. It rnej
rankle, and prove more serious. after the solemni-
zation of the nuptials with Joszeutsfes rival. A
abort time will produce to the world the fortunate
female, destined by fate to share with r; Aro.r.o
the Crown and Empire of the West.

His Maxim, is expected in town, this dty, to
hold a Private Lei7ee and Privy Council, at the
QVBSN'S Palace.

The LORD MAYOR has appointed Tuesday nest
for • Comwou 11111, to receive the Sheriffs' report

Colonel Ptha t GTOx, of. the Royal Engineers,
is entitled to the greatest praise, for the great abi-
lity he 'hewed in destroying the sluices at the late
evacuation of Flushing, Tijbout &jog the smallest
injury to the teem, as, *ugh to enty.ftiur hundred
weighted' gun-powder exploded at the ram, instant,
the effects of it were not felt twenty ) arils off.
Mr. Maxim, the Anstrion MrSSCogre, is expected
back by Saturday next, unless it should be &tined
expedient to send him on to Vienna, in which case
another Messenger will be rent from Pans with dis-
patches Irons Prince SCHW 'mem HAG, the Aus-
trian Minister there. Vrobahly, however, before
the ari4valof the Messenger, the Austrian Secretary
of Embassy will be dispatched to Pavia.
Mr. Bwriwarn Envoy Extraordinary from
Great-Britain to the Couri of .plate's, we are hairy
to state, was in perfect health and understanding on
the I..fth of November ; his friends are therefore
sot alarmed at the unpleasant paragraph, dated the
10th of November, from Berlin, and inserted to
the Paris papers.
