THE BRITISH P iiill°,SS.

LONDON,
THURSDAY, JULY 5.

In the conversation in the House of Commons, on
Monday night, upon the subject of the Civil List,
Si; Joan Ntwronx said, " he would appeal to the
French, if they had not found their situation worse,
and their expences increased, by their success
in overthrowing their old Government." We
have beet forcibly struck with the justice of this
observation. One of the most hazlsa..yed cants of
the French Jacobins, against Monare:iieal Govern-
ments, was, the pretended enormity of the Civil
List, and the great expenditure attending the rank
and Courts of Kings. What has France gained by
the Revolution that annihilated both ? Rive we
not read of the expences of the C4ainpr.,n
the Revolutionary Emperor. 800/OAK ft He has
oriteredhis Civil List to be nominally no more than
twenty-five millions of tyres (upwards cf one mil-
lion sterling), though, in fa 3, not only the whole re-
venue of France may be regarded as his nrimor pro-
perty, out rem the tributes extorted from Spain,
Portugal, Italy, Holland, and Germany. He dis-
poses of the. one and the other, without any con-
trout, and as he chooses. but this is not enough.
His Imperial Consort, the Revoltrinnary Empress,
Joterunst, has her pirate revenue and resources.
Sne sells places and proteaions, contraels and pro-
motions, life and death, hinny and imprisonment ;
add to this, that the honourable company cf the far-
mers of the organised gambling-houses in France,
pay her revolutionary Majesty in the month :100,000
livres (12,5C01.) as a dieuesup for her high protec-
tion. Of the revolutionary Imperial Highnesses,
,each has a fixed allowance of three millions of livres
(125,0001,) in the year; and they are besides per-
mitted to sell indemnities to foreigners, and exclusive
privileges to Frenchmen. They monopolise all the
sums offered by baseness and ambition from abroad,
and by wickedness and avidity at home. The pil-
lage in this manner colleaed by the whole tribe of
revolutionaly Emperor, Empress, Imperial High-
ness, Arch-Eidlors, Constables, let.. 5::. during the
two last years only, is estimated in France at 400
millions of byres, or Iti millions' sterling. This is
as well known in the diplomatic circle at Paris, as it
is over all France, that each of the female revo-
lutionary Imperial Highnesses has livres,
or 50,6001. in the year, with the authority to plun-
der with impunity what they think proper, per fee
and per nrfas. This is the regulari?, and eranamy
France has gained by listening to her Jacobin re-

formers, who, as a bowie derrhe, have augmented the
taxes, in a manner, that the slaves of Bona, ass/
pay 20 to I more than the subjeas of Louis XVI.
As to the salaries of our diplomatic agents, they are
much less than those of equal rank, in the service of
Russia, Austria, and France. The Secret Service
Money of the two former States cannot be known ;
►ut in the French Budget, published in the .Ifor.i.
seer. February_l SO3, seventy-nine miilions of liras,
or between three or four millions sterling, were ac-
knowledged to have been expended, during the Re-
publican year X. a year V Price.
Great Britain is justly supposed, in all parts of
the world, the richest Empire ; but the revenue of
our Sovereign is less than eren that of Kings of the
second and third rank. The Kir.gs of Denmark,
Sweden, Naples, and Spain, as well as the King of
Prussia, the Empetors el Germany and Russia, have
no fixed Civil List; and thirir cspences have no
other bounds, but the.r will and patriotism. No
former of Englans, ever had, and no coatempc-
rary Potentate on the Continent has such a numerous,
amiable ar.d meritorious family to provide for, as our
present siew7vedly beloved Sovereign. To cavil,
therefore, at some few thousand p'unds in the
richest country in Europe, where subjetts possess for-
tunes :7reater than many Foreign Princes, evinces
neither patriotism nor policy, :Ad a jealous, narrow,
or faaions mind.

Political apostacy is scandal•ms, but the religious
hypocrisy if Atheism is both infan olt and dan-
gerous; it adds cowardice t,• Circamstinces

with other States ; their eharaders remain notwith-

when the Chief °fa grand empire, by his aft ions provcs
his infideity, and b; Ls wi r.ls his hypocrisy: Warn

wadin,giltrongh crime to sn'reme atith'erity, in evert-
step he has blasphemed his God and persecuted the
the example is contagious, encouraging to
vice, and distressing to virtue. From a 'country cursed
ivlth such a ruler, all morality, as well as religion,
must be banished ; no ties, either sacred or human,
can restrain or direct the passions of a people
of disbelievers and atheists. We have been led
into tliese refieaions, by information received
in Private Letters from France, that the Fong,
in saluting the ferocious Corsican an EMPEROR
of the FRENCH, has diao:roured and insulted
all true Christians, and derided the Christian
Religion itself, by politically baptising an atheisti-
cal murderer and poisoner, a Nlosr CHRISTIAN
EMPEROR. On the 2..1.1 of July, 17!43, his now Most
Christian Majesty, Bosi APART r, then Commandvr
of the French Army in Egypt, issued, on his land-
ing, a Proclamation to the inhabitants, which, if
any other evidence was wanted, will mark to all ages
his contempt of Divine Institutions; a Proclamation,
which began by erpressly den4ing JESUS CHRIST,
an I proceeded to affirm, that the French adored
the Sv rat. sic Brim°, and honoured the Prophet
Msllo MEr and his holy Kar.m. "There is no other
Gm)," says this abominable paper, " but Gov,
and N 1 animal- is his prophet. The French are
true Nlussulmen ; they reverence, more than the
Mamelukes themselves, Gnu, his Prophet MAnt-
MET, and the Koran! Hot long since they marched
to Rome, , vibe.- v.; the throw of the Pope,who ex-
cited t:-.; ...srians against the professors of
„ :.• Nl.thorretan religion). Afterwards
they d their course to Malta, and droie
out are e.r. - rt, who imagined they were ap-
pointed iiy God to make war on hi, faithful, the Ma-
hometaa•." These words are copied verbatim from
a proclamation signed BONAPARTE, and counter-
signed BERT HI Ex, and cannot be unknown to the
Ministers of Pius VII. but the men who advised the
s;gning of the religious concordat, and acknowledge
in it the atrocious EON Alt z, equally apostate to
Goo and to MA H 0 ..I r, will bow, at the expense
ut their consciences, duty, and rank, to even•
demand dictated by tle Usurper's whim, po.
hey, or ambition, acre he even to order them to
substitute the Koran for the Bible.

Yesterday, a Court of Dire tors was Lel l at the

A letter, parporthig ta be written by TiIOMAS
Passe, upon the subjia of the Invasion of England
by force, has been puhlished by several of our c m-
temporaries. In it Mr. PA Ise sa), 5, " The clarn:ur
spread by the English Newspapers, of the intention of
the French to F.:tinder is absurd; that the French only
wish to overthrow the Government, that the peter
plc may be enabled to choose one which will re-
estabiish peace." Where is the absurdity of sup-
po.ing that the French hare in view the plunder of
this country ? Did not the French armies plunder
Italy, Germany ? klase they not sacked every city,
despoiled every mansion which has fallen into
their power? Bon Apra Ye has drained and im-
poverished Italy, either by dire.% plunder, or by
Loans and Coatributioni,till it is reduced to a state of
beggary. Spai', Portugal, and other countries, which
BONAPARTL has not conquered, he squeezes of enor-
mous sums in consecinence of the fear in which they
' stand of him. Hanover has recently been plundered
of every thing valuable with the most fierce rapa-
city, because it belonged to the nett. ism KING.
Why then should we expel to escape ? We, against
whoa, all the envy, hatred, and revenge of the

French Government are conzenter,d? Plunder, un-
doubtediv, would not Ix tlx m,,in objeet of the
French trarcoun; it would be a tl:ing of secondary
consideration given to gratify the colliery ; ti.e
great obje4 would be t.i subvert the Eresh
Constitution, and thereby to subjugate the English
people. The French would pretend to do what
PAINL holds out ; they would affeft to enable us to
choose a free G iverranent ; that is, an English mob,
headed by a few traitors, would cry ou for some-
thing as a Government, which French cunning
would suggest, and Ft each bayonets would enforce.
