LONDON.
TUESDAY. AUGUST in.

We have received Dutch papers to the 17th, and
a series of the Amateur to the 6th instant, the prin-
cipal contents of which are given in oar preceding
columns. The (hand Duke of Brffb MtIIAT; was
nmclanned King of Naples on the tat instant.—
Should the Princess CAVILINE, his wife, and sister
of ICAPOLLON, survive her Lottsort, she is to suc-
ceed to the l'linnie. The new King has coin-
menced his reign with issuing a Proclamation, in
which he declares his intention to abide by the con-
stitution promulgated by his predecessor, King
JOSETIII, Aland gimrunteed by NAPOLIMMI It thus
appears that Josses has changed a ccrtanity far an
uncertainty, as his Throne of Spain, must be al-
' lowed to be rather a precarious itilicrittuice.—
NAPULSON, however, will *it* evrrY sent' to
establish him on it. He is. pouring troops from
Italy, and the south of France, into that country.
Even'the Paris guards are ordered fur that ser-
vice. Every possible means of expeilitiog their
march are iirsortela tri, and it is computed that
the fn Spain nil amount to 160090
taro: The l'sris antilltitCh Plipers at leugtli admit

something of the real state of Spain. They con-
fess that, 6, the ceinniotions iu it are not yet iv-
pepsed ;4' bta the, add, that " they are not din-
7,,erotts." If they are not dangerous. Low .comes
it, we ask, that an army of nu,ooo men is neces-
sary -to appease them, and that BONILTA‘RTE is
obliged to call in the aid of other Generals ?
Hut it is not on the side or Spain alone, we trace the
,iperttirlied spirit of NAPOLEON. Every part of the
Continent is in a state of preparation for the re-
newal of hostilities.

The Emperor of Ruse♦ appears to rival Bova-
P.►aTF. in the severity of Ws regulations against
en tttttt erce. Be a recent likise, no loaded vessel,
of any nation whatever, iiiallowed to sail from a
port blockaded by the Finnish. The Swedes are
said to have made an unsuccessful descent in Fin-
land, in which their loss is stated at 1,500 men.

conducted himself so much at the Court or Stock-

Zug Joscra, upon whom the kingdom of Naples
was entailed irrevocably, is. now removed to make
way for King Joacsum. AltntatindJuacnim will
probably, ere long, be wale to change places
with brother Louts or brother JEtO)IP. This
' barter of homage and allegiance, this transfer of
*lotions from one Sovereign to another, like so many
negro phlntations to a IltW purchaser, was-
elinch'iniipi by Mr. Fcrx in snmeof his lost and ablest
*poetise% as a system degrading to mankind,` and
practised by Narotson in furtherance of his plans
to:revolutionize Germany, by rendering the people
indifferent as to the person of their Sovereign, mod
ready to obey the man, whoever he might be, whom
power or fortune thought tit to place over them.
It is strange that this principle, which NA Popion
adoptedto dissolve the ancient governments . in the,
Gerlatil empire, should he introduced, with all its
deleterious qualities, into the system of hia,new
dynasty, the durability of which must be presumed
' the object nearest to his heart, and the highest aim
of all his ambition.

An Heligoland Mail arrived, last night, with let-
tiro and papers from Ilamburgh. to the Isth last.
Their contents, from Which we have Intuit; soma
extracts, represent affairs in Spain as Caroni-able to
France. The Neapolitans, we are told, are incon-
solable for the luia of King JOIMPU, and the lat-
ter, we have no doubt, is very sorry that he ever
left them to asreild the Throne of Spain and sen-
tare among a people so ungrattfal and blind to
his merits.

We avidl ourselves of the momentary svispension
of intelligence front Spain, or Portugal, to coc-
ain:le our remarks on the conduct and character of
the Corsican Despot, at a time when, according
to all appearance, he is not only fallen Irma his
late prodigious elevation, but is likewise about to
contend, as Ilicit.tan the THI 0 did nt Bosworth,
for his Crown soil Life. That BoNAPArtTE pus-
*eases many of those Se blime intellectual endow-
ments, and corporeal qualities, requisite for the
ntietipment of empire or dominion, we must allow.
His profound judgment, nc:ivity, vigilance, fore-
sight, courage, serenity, and self-possession, know-
ledge of man, fortitude, perseverunce, subtilty, and
per/woes of mind, place him very high in the list
of those who, iii different ages of the earth, have
acted the most conspicuous pan on the public
theatre. This vii4t assemblage of talents may ex-
plain how he has attained to, and has fo tr.itd, an
empire, including, in its immediate suniettoci, or

virtual dependence, the greater rut of 17...mpe....
