the purpcse of meeting his uncle Louis XVIII. who
slrirc4 at three o'clock, accompanied by the Duke

some time in tneir way thither, in irtewing the fa-

The small town of Fredericksburg is occupied by
2000 English creeps, chiefly consisting of High-
landers, who have thee rives with them ; in se-
veral of the lerged houses upwards of 100 persons
are quartered. The Castle of I..edericksburg has
sustained but very little damage. Two pieces of
brass cannon are mounted in front of the Royal
?slue,- and *eel the King's stables are occupied
Eoglish troops. The stria discipline now
observed by those troops, cannot be sufficiently
?raised. In order to prevent the confusion and
disorders arising from the soldiers buying them-

( Iltratc Letter.)

At length the Parisians are again ia possession of
that pre-eminent advantage which they have been
so long obliged to share with Berlin, Warsaw, Os.
terode, Finkenstein, Eibingen, and lastly with I slit,
which now cuts such a distinguished figure in the
annals of history. Paris is again the great city, and
we might say, were we not apprehensive of da
sling a.any tender eyes with Cm proud title—" the
capital of the world."
Peace is certainly attended with benefit to man-
kind in general, but to the Parisians the return of
the Emperor is of much greater importance ; the
fruits of peace are scarcely in their blossom, but
from the presence of the Emperor a rich harvest
may be rea;:ed immediately. The hoteis begin to
fill, and the diplomatic agents are hastening from
the cities of the north, where their convenience (.Id-
pended upon accident rather more than here, where,
as in old Rome, people may at least rely on being
able to procure every thing for money. And what
time has not yet realized, is compensated by the en-
chantress Hope; in imagination the English gui-
neas are already heard to jingle, and mum the
banker and his clerk, with idle pen, to the porter
whose children are starving with hungers all are
dreaming of making entries or Cat r yibg bales.
The impression made by the intelligence of the
peace of Tilsit, was much mere agreeable than any
thing that ever came from Campo formio, Lune-
ville, or Presbutg ; the nation is not fond of cc; y
distant operations; to its alive impatient spirit it
is tot tuting to De kept for a fortnight or a month
without intelligence from the army. The public
relies more upon solid and permanent consequences
I from the treaty with Russia, than on the integray
of another Government. _

A compati.on has been made, as might naturally
be expelled, between the Russian and Prussian
peace, and from the extremely friendly and favour-
able spirit in which the Russian treaty is awn
up, this conclusion pies been deduced, that Napn-
leon must have discovered the secret of a ttuly
effeaual method of conciliating Alexander. Some
days before the publication of the treaties,
were handed about, which, notwithstanding the
extravagance of certain articles, were yet founded
on the opinion, that Russia and France were, not
only competent to decide the fate et the world,
but that they • mild do it be the general benefit
of mankind. Nothing was talked of but the two
Empires of the East amid of the West, a throne a
Servia for a Greek Princr, a new Byzantium fur a
second Constantine, and even a marriage in which
reasons of state had risen superior co cuLtom art
predominant principles. Every contingency that
could possibly give rise to future Continertai ass,
was provided tor; and she career of independgnce
was even traced for the Hungarian nation. When
the real terms of the treaties were made public,
these ideas, it is true, appeared to be but chimeras;
but the majority, which, on this occasion, includep
the more etiligistened part of the public. regarded
these treaties as e.„ly the ostensible parts a secret
whole; all the parts of which will not be developed
for some months to come. They calculated, in par-
' timing on the ereftion of a throne for Constantine;
and it is said that the wat,-.1..w0nt, nn the day when
Napoleon end Alexander performed their peaceful
manieuvra together at Td it, was, CSOISUNiiite

With the new kingdom, Magdeburg and the Eibe
form the Cafalle km of the advanced posts of the
French empire ; as Warsaw, with its present forti-
fieations end the Vistula, are the farther outpost of
the French sytes cl ailianee. For the fantre tran-
quillity, as well as for the consolidati an of the fa-
bric founded by Napoleon. the military line, and the
new tics with one of tie m 'st ancient Sovereign
Homes of Germany, are equally important. It is
certainly not at this moment decided what is to be
the total extent of the kingdom of Westphalia ;
much may depend on the final issue of tie oegre-
ations with England. The proof of this
Latin the well-known principles of the French Em-
perm t a peace with F.neland is his grand Ojai.
I-Be ptioeiples are known to be firm ; and if he was
before disposed to restore Hanover, there i, every
reason to believe that this cession would not, at this
moment, appear too great, if he could thereby pm-
chase peace for the unfortunate mariners of the
whole world. Should even those who envy hint,
allow him nothing but a thirst of glory, they might
confidently rely that this principle would dispose
him to any, even the greatest sacrifices. Mariners
are most aaive heralds of fame • whoever confers
benefits on them may rest assured that they will
announce them. like ever tiag echoes, from ocean
to ocean, and from 7.'"ne to zone. It would certain•
ly be something more than a master-piece, it wouid
be a miracle, if William, and the companions ct
William's fate, could induce Mr. Canning to do for
them what Al .carijer did f•r Mecklenhurgh. But
without Cassel. without Brunswick, without Ha.
nover, the kingdom of Westphalia would still com-
prehend Magdeburg, Halberstadt, Paderborn, Hil-
desheim, Alsmark, together with all the former
Prussian indemnities and part of Westphalia Proper,
as well as the Sovereignty of Anhalt. The ques-
tion, therefore, is not whether the new kingdom will
be powerful, but whether it will comprise b..th er
only one of the halves of the fine teiiitoty situated
between the Weser and the Elbe, between Saxony
and Berg, between Brandenburg and Bavaria.
Concerning the recent relations between Austria
and France and Russia, a certaiu silence prevails,
which affords room to conjecture something differ-
ent from the present inactivity. It appears as if the
late change in the English Ministry and the mission
of a new Ambassador from Vienna to Tilsit took
place too late. and that the battle of Friedland, and
particularly the rafts oa the Niemen, at Tiisit, ar-
rived too soon.

Prussia now belongs irrevocably to the French
system of confederation. Bolnded by the Elbe,
with a Saxon military road through her territoriss,
- and inclosed on the side of the Unrer Vistula, bow
could it, indeed, be otherwise
The greatest part of the secret Articles
Treaty of Tilsit relate, besides England, to the
Ottoman Porte. The particulars respeeting them,
in the romantic Pryers alluded to above, are suf-
ficient to justify the other conjeAures, that cannot
fail to be excited by the perusal of the Russian
Treaty.
What conclusion is to be drawn from the last bul-
letins of the army, and from the dire&icn of the
English Naval Opetati,...s, is evinced by cne of the
most official tzn.nissiaicatissus, namely, at the last
presentation of the Corps Diplomeops, Napolecn
told the Danish Ambassador aloud, in terms the
most frank and undisguised, that he was sure of his
cause with reaped to Denmark, and of his rights
to the deliverance of the Baltic from the oppression
of the English.

MRS. JORDAN.

In mammal of the perform once at entry-I.lle,
on Saturd ty night, we noticed that Mrs. Jor,fan
was encored in her beautiful ballad the Deal of (.10
Night mg it thC second time with ard.tienal
benuty and effeit. The hrilliant audience that then
filled the blouse were little aware that the indivi-
dual who imputed such rapture and delight was, at
that moment, in agony. Towards the close of.the
song, she was affetted by a severe pain in her shout.
del s, which struck into her chest ; and nothing hat
her great spirits and firmness mill have enabled
her to finish the part. Early on Sunday morning,
after a little coughing, a considerable quantity of
clear blond came up from her chest, and it was evi-
dent that she had broken a blood-vessel. Dr. Blanc
immediately attended, and, by his order, 12 ounces
of blood were taken from her arm by the lancet.
and eight by cupping. This has relieved the pain
in lier chest; but reduced her very low; and she is
prohibited trom taking A iy nounshment but cold
water. After the play, on Satarday night, Mrs.
Jordan was !innoanced for Monday, in the cha-
radler of Peggy is Thr Corotry Uirl; but her sudden
illness has obliged the Managers to change it. What-
ever disappointment the Public may feel, we are
confident it will be absorbed in their regard for
the individual, and regret for the cause. A little
time, however, we trust, will restore this fascinating
adtress to health and spirits.
To the numerous inquiries after Mrs. JORDAN'S
health, last night, the answer was, that she was car.-
sideralsly better.

PLDESTRIAN FEAT.

CAPTAIN SAILCLAY AND WOOD.

Our accounts from Newmarket, received yes-
terday, st ite, that the ground on which the long.
expelled contest between these two swift-footed heroes
is to be decide ', was finally fined and measured for
some days. It is an exalt mile upon the lett side of
the first mile oi tne tuinpike road trout Newmarket.
It is a fine firm piece or ground, well c .lculAted fur
a fair trial. It was b tiled on Sunday, tsar the paints
should start this morning at eight, and t,o, at nine
o'clock, as report stated. Wood arrived on Sunday at
Newmarket, from Cambridge. Capt. Barclay had
arrived previously. They both take string exer-
cise. Their food is pal boiled mutton, and half
broiled beef steaks, of wh•ah they eat heartily. They
are both well. and each confident of success. Capt.
Barclay is trained by Ward, Gully, and Crib. They
are very attentive to their pupil. and speak in high
terms of his performance. Wood is trained Ly
Gregson, the rioted Lancashire man, who, according
to report, is to fight Gully on Wednesday ; but the
scene of action was not known yesterday. The
odds on Sunday morning were 6 to I upon Captain
Barclay. In the course of the day they rose to 2to
I. and 3to 2. This pedestrian feet, the expelled
pugilistic perlornance, ant the races, have attracted
more company to &wine' ket than have ever been
seen there at an Ottober bleetiit g. There is scarcely
a bed, or place fur a horse, to be had in the neigh-
bourhood, and provisions, are, or course, dear in
proportion. Immense sums are depending upon
this match, and the parties interested who remain in
town are all anxiety, ; accounts of the progress of
the pedestrians will be reported by a series of
expresses sent off to London until the final determi-
nation of the contest.

Monday. Eight o'Clonk, a. Nt.
The ground this morning was all life and bustle,
and wore a most variogated appeara.tce. it was
covered with tents and booths, filled at an early
hour with company from London, Cambridge,
Newmarket. and all the surrounding country for
many miles. No fair was ever more crowded.
The number of carriages was very great. consisting
of barouches, phaetons, sociables, buggies, caravans,
•c. Capt. Barclay, and his competitor, Wood,
had each a marquee, with a snpha in it, on which
to rest them...lees when they should thick proper.
These marquees were pitched close to the ground
on which they performed. Exaftly at eight o'clock
these two candidates for pedestrian fame appeared at
their respeehre goals, and commenced their contest.
They were dressed alike in white flannel jackets
and drawers, open at the knees; light sandarshoes,
with flannel socks, but no stockings. and a small
handkerchief tied loose round the um's. Two time-
pieces, regulated by Mr. Bramble. watchmaker,
Oxford-road, were sent down to Newmarket, last
week, for the occasion. The persons appointed to
hold them being placed at their stations, and all
the preliminary business being settled, the swift
footed heroes started exeifily at eight o'clock ; and
at akrarter to nine o'clock, when our account was
sent off; Wood had performed flur miles, and
Capt. Barclay three miles. The odds on the ground,
at that time. were 23 to 10, and five to three upon
Capt. Barclay. Among the company present were
the Earl of Barrymore; Lords Fo/ey, G. Cavendish,
Beauclerc, &c. ; Mr. Mellish, and, in short, all
the sporting Noinlity and Gentry. The match, as
we stated 14 a focrue: Paper, is to walk for 24 hours,
and the man who perfot ms the greatest number of
miles in that time to b 3 the winner, Wood allowing
his competitor SO miles ; so that, even in the event
of Captain Barclay's success, be will only prove
himself a very infetior man to Wood, unless the
latter should greatly disappoint the general expect-
ation. Tae bets i.i London last night were 7to 4,
and $ to 2 in favour of Captain .larclay. The
odds were aln. held by Wood's friend., that he
would perform 100 miles in the first 16 hours.

Gaily as l Grepoi are expeSed to fight to-mor-
row, near Newmarket r the odds were, last night,
7 to 4 in favour of Geezva.
The Spotting World ate equally as much on the
tiptoe of expeaation for the event of the match be-
tween S:► ®arid and NOpoateses, over the Beacon
course, (tic lot mer giving his opponent seven
pounds), as between Captain BA MC L• Y and Wean.
Within these few days a club, at the west end of
the town, which is confined to sixteen members,
have pus ciia,ed the amount of six Lottery Tickets,
all in Sixteemh Shares of different Numbers. Thus
they possess ninety-six Chances in the New Plan
that commences Drawing Next Tuesday. Among
its numerous Capital PIIZCS, they, doubtless, aim
at the 40,001 Pounder ; which, should either of
their ninny Chances turn up, each member of this
clO will possess ao less a sum than 2,5001.
