Pliliden CORRESPONDENCE.

mallovr.s., ittrit
" You have known our former situatiot, I will
cow tell you our present 1 the difference between the
legal gavernment of a prince, and the tyranny of
French. Republicans.
" French intrigues always precede French invasi-
ons; the moment England armed, France plotted, and
a legion of emissaries were the forerunners of an
army of soldiers; hence the irresolutions, the con-
tradiEtions, the bombast threats, and the degrading
submission of the regency; hence the opposition,
the disunion, amongst the people ; and hence the
want of public spirit in a brave army commanded
by able officers, but whose courage and whose talents
were neutralised by the weakness of their superiors,
and now only serve them to feel so much the more
' the reproach of having laid down their arms, and of
being prisoners of war to an army inferior or equal
in number to themselves.
" The death of the Hanoverian regency may
truly be called a suicide, because even after years
of unfortunate war, and the loss of a number of
battles, French insolence could hardly prescribe,
nor our regency consent to any worse or more dis-
honourable terms than those signed and submitted
to. From being subjeas of the best of kings, we
are, without struggle and without resistance, be-
came slaves to the worst of tyrants, who oppress
and mock us, who plunder and despise us. When
30,000 brigands arc rivalling each other in mischiefs,
striving who shall rob us the most, and who shall
be the most busy to propagate immorality and ir-
religion ; to give examples of debauchery and les-
sons of Atheism. 'Three grenadiers have been shot,
to prove a discipline existing only in the reports of
the Generals.

" Every where before the entrance of the French
troops, French emissaries excited and encouraged
plunder and violence ; and our common people
were active French citizens, or robbers, before they
were effe6tive French slavec ; and so rapid has been
the progress of French revolutionary principles,
that in many places the people have already divided
amongst them the domains of the Crown, and the
estates of the Nobles ; but as this caused alarm to
our neighbours the Prussians, French bayonets have
been obliged to suspend, ad interim, these conse-
quences of French example and dotarine.
" We capitulated to an army of :20,000 French-

men, but at present upwards of 44,000 French
troops have entered our country, and every clay
their number is augmented ; this has given uneasi-
ness, and measures of precaution are ordered both
in Prussia and Denmark ; and many think them
more than necessary, because, since the Revolution,
France has never yet respected any country where
plunder was to be got, when plunder was wanted,
and wanted it must be, should the French continue
here, and a& in the manner they have done hi-
therto. Let our resources be ever so great, they
must be exhausted when extravagance prevents eco-
nomy, and passion excludes regularity ; when ty-
ranny imposes contributions, and anarchy extorts
requisitions ; when property is unsafe, industry pro-
scribed, and commerce ruined.
g 4 We know for a certainty, that Russia has much
censured the condu& of Prussia and France, with
regard to our country. It is to Russia alone that
Hamburgh and Bremen are indebted for their pre-
sent neutrality, and neither pecuniary indemnities to
one power, nor pecuniary loans to another, would
otherwise have saved them from French fraternity.
"Two of our countrymen are sent, by orders, as
negotiators to the Corsican ; they are no doubt des-
tined to augment the number of slaves decorating
his triumphal entry at Brussels, to endure his inso-
lence, and to hear his calumnies against their Sove-
reign their places are certainly nut places of
honour, and we had great difficulty to fi.-1.1 two
persons patriotic enough to abase themselves before
the vulgar throne of the Corsican Usurper."

The St. .Lkstrs's Loyal Volunteers, on Thursday,
met for the purpose of electing their Officers, when
the following were unanimously chosen :
C. Lord Amherst, Rev. T. Braelren,Chaplaio,
Lieut.-Col. Monk, W. Morris, Esq. Surgeon.
Major Dowries,
C4PTait:s4 ELECTED, JUNE 30, 1803.
Farquhar, Esq. William Sloane,'Esq.
. Charles Stuart, Esq. Wifiam Placket, Esq.
Arthur Gere, Esq. Francis John Cater, Esq.
Hugh Hammersley, EN. Cherie; Hamnicrsley, Esq.
.Yesterday was Muster-day, when the corps made
a most recpe&able appearance on the parade.
The triple inscription of Rosetta, whichhav lain
for some time in the Library of the Society of An-
tiquaries, has been lately removed to the Museum,
and deposited with the rest of the Antiquities from
Egypt.
-Death has of late made considerable havoc in the
literary world of Germany, and deprived it of =thy
of those great charaelers who had given celebrity to
their country, and 'assigned it an honourable rank
• among the most enlightened nations of Europe.
Among those whose loss is of a very recent date, the
sathe of GA veva makes a conspicuous figure. This
philoitopher was equally remarkable for the heatiti-
Iktisibpriety of his refleaions, the charms of his elo-
sluortice, and the amenity of his deportment: Of 411
his•enuntrymen, the harmony of his periods bears
the nearest affinity to the Greeks, and, on that ac-
cuant, as well as for his mannerof treating his moral
subjeits, he has justly been considered the Addison
of densany.
