SATURDAY. Novemerw 3.

Errlusire, as usual, we lay before the public
some more estiaAs from the small French Papers,
much more interesting than the official paragraphs
of adulation and calumny, which chiefly fill the
columns of the 31,,,siltur. Notwithstanding the en-
slaved state of the press, an observer may sometimes
find in these small papers matter to expose the
fa'sehood of the assertion, that France under BONA.
at c is a quiet, contented, and happy country.
• ‘Vere this the case, we should not read of the im-
prisonment, persecution, and transportation, siihout
n•:, 1, of priests; that the prediaions of paid hypo-
crites, or of real fanatics, could cause seditious move-
ments; nor that military and special tribunals mas- •
MEC, in one-third of France, without controul, as
without feeling, or a sense of justice. On these in-
teresting subjeBs, the Madan, remains silent, as
well as upon numbers of other occurrences, which
evince the tyranny of the Corsican Bort APART r,
and the baseness, but, at the same time, the impa-
tience, with which his French slaves wear the yoke.
According to an article from Nantes, Dnsslll.lNrs
has met with another defeat, and is dese:ted by his
troaps, which are gone over to CII/lI,TOPIIE, who,
in his turn, has instituted a Legion of !Lamar.—
What a perversion of words and of sense ? Within
nine months three brigands, Bonap ssr r, Dr sSA-
LINE% and CIIRISTOFIIE, have decorated their ac-
complices with an order rah d of itmorsr, for ac.
tions which, in all civilised nAti9ll,, are rewarded

Yesterday, the thrice v►. Beast left town to
meet his father, His Ro) al Ilig!mess Mossitv
who attired on Thursday, at VA] MOUS!), front
Gottenhurgh. As we have already stated, the
king of 1. a AIICL'S residence will not he so' long in
Sweden as was first intended; His MAJcsrt having,
according to the desire of the Emperor of Russia,
and King of Paussia, determined to return to
Warsaw, and to remain there until something shall
have been finally settled, respelling the just c!aims
of the 'Bowsaws Family, so nearly conneaed with
the destiny of all other lawful Imperial or Royal
dynasties. This fact is the best answer to the late
paragraph in the k.rench papers, pretending that
the Emperor of Rt:SSIA, on aCC:intn of his con-
itenion with Bus a %arc's Government, would not
permit the King of FRANCE to reside in his domi-
nions.

It is reported .that Lord lia anon IT commeni-
cated yesterday to the other members of our Cabi-
net, a very spirited memorial concerning the late
outrageous violation of the laws of nations, by L.l-
- in the seizure of Sir GEORGE Rt•steot.u,
which, as soon as it has been laid before the KING,
and obtained His MAJESTY'S approbation, will be
diatributed among the members of the foreign di-
plomatic corps in England, and sent with extra cou-
riers to all the Continental Courts not under the im-
mediate controul and tyranny of the barbarous Cor-
