THE. COURIER, DE LONDRES, AND THE CHAO-
.' NICLE.

" Ctaw me, and Pll claw you."

THE Brterrew Parris, and one other Paper, gave
an account oa. Monday last of the atrocious plot to
poison the Bourbons, at Warsaw. The Morning
Chronicle of M.;nday neither knew nor heard any
thing about it. How could it I Its great source
and authotity for foreign information, the Cowie,
Jr Loam, was not published until Tuesday, when
produced, by the aid of Tut BRITISH PRESS,
sad the other Paper to which we allude, a ran/to
atelier et entenditior edition. What was the condo&
of The Morning Chronicle in the interval ? Bold.
cruel, and unfeeling, it advocated the cause of the
poisi,ner of Jaffa, and attempted to throw the whole
story into ridicule and contempt. Finding, how-
ever, that truth must prevail, it seized upon the ac-
count in the Courier de Londres; and, to gratify its
prejudice against this Paper, trumpeted forth the
statement of the former as the real, official, authentic
account. The Editor of the Courier de [Andres of
last night, too shallow to penetrate the motive of
The Morning Chrouirk, expresses his gratitude for
this preference ; sincerely we allow, but rather un.
fortunately in its manner, as it charges that which
Tire Cbrlnide gave as authentic, with being a mis-
translation frori the French, in " essential" points.
This is the simple case. Now for the comment.
Why, we ask, does the Courier de Londres come
forward the champion of The Morning Chronicle?
Whence all this fraternity between them ? We
thought the Courser de Londru was a loyal print,
devoted to the French Royalists and the British Go.

ernes then all this sympathy between them?
Torch the Courier is Limiter, The Chronicle inter.

the Cosner de Leaders immediately points its puny
ar.ow. Tra Barns* Pans has served the cans*
which the Cu. i este Lear** professes. It has done
so from pr;nei,le, from loyalty, from honourable
feeling, without arty selfish motive, interest, or view.
Many ob-orvations, some of them not much to the

the :melees. We shall, howev.•r, for the present,

the Editnr of the Courii rde Londres ought to pal.

same motive. Or, if this course I.e difficult to follow,
wr. roould advise him to give that print a monopoly
of ail that " good and cheap" foreign intelligence,
with which he proFoses to supply Tim Barmy
Pains. He will then have his revenge of The
Mer,ilt Chronicle. for its false friendship. As to
the charge that Tee Burr ISM PIRA is " environed
with an impenetrable obscurity," we plead guilty.

'I he T)uke of York arrived from Dover at Gene-
trha ~e m°
"Oen'sithaet At eveningyesterday,ate,
tlr; Dungeness
ngndeineesds
sluadron arrive,' in trandgate roads, close under
the camp. The squadron consisted of the aledeer,
rAs ; Le..,effed, 50; Leda frigate, and several smaller
slrps of war. Notice was given that His Royal
1-I.gliness would review, of, as the military phrase is,
lee the troops precisely at seven this morning, at
which time they were all drawn oat. They con.
silted of several companies of the Rifle regiment.
voataiaing about .500 men ; of the 4th Regiment of
Foot, censiderably more than a thousand strong,
the 52d, also very strong in numbers; of the
-0.1, strong also in numbers. These are all in the
camp. The 59th came and joined the line from
1 lythe barracks, but they are weak in numbers.
The Rifles took the ri- ',t of the wing, the 4th ne' t
them ; and the whole, th Artillery, being General
bioore's brigade, an,ounted to about 4,000 men.
There were no naval re.
Exadly at seven o'clock, the Duke of York came
on the ground. The ships of war in the roads each
saluted him, and the artillery on the ground of Re-
view saluted hem about the same time ; the tiring
had a very finagled, if the situation 4[4- the camp,
a fine extensive level on the top cf a ebb, is a bean-
tan' one. The tsansis of each regiment saluted the
Duke, as he passed along the line I the regiments
then passed in quick and slow time, and marched
admirably. The whole of the review was con-
ducted with the greatest order. The Rifles are a
Sae body of men, and very aSive. Then were
about 2,000 speelators present, and among them se.
lend genteel parties. The Earl of Chatham was
on the ground to sec his regiment, the 4th. After
the review, the Duke of York went to Hythe, to
sCe the l4t Draooas ; from thence he wa to go
toßrabOUTnh e Lees,g and then to Ashford, tos see the
two bri;rades there. The review concluded at Sham-
a& .bout half past ten o'clock.
