THE NATIONAL

speech survives complete in the midst of civilization and
social order. The King is beloved and the people are loyal.
Butthousands of public declaimers rise to reputation by op-

posing their Sovereign and reviling his family, whilst num
berless daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly scribblers at-

tam competence and wealth by incessantly labouring to con-
vince the people that they are wrong to be loyal, that their
-Niers are a •et of robbers and simpletons ; and that nothing
good, great, and virtuous is done, but by the enemies of
their country. Yet no check is placed on the tongue of the
one or the pen of the others. The government laughs at the
abuse it receives, and goes on the same. The people believe
all the falsehoods told them, and remain faithful. To a su-
perficial observer, this might appear a'fiddle,, and he would
deemply its solving word. I think differentlj, ;it is iuterest.
The revilers oppose and abuse Government, because they
acquire popularity sufficient sometimes to turn their oppo-
nents out and get into their Owes. The ministers bear all
reproaches patiently, because they thus lose half their force,
being by many supposed unjust when unresented. The
writers libel, because it fills their pockets. The people
believe them, because • they are naturally jealous of men in
power, but remain faithful and obedient subjects, because
they know the real blessings they enjoy, and are wise enough
to prefer present gook mixed with evil, to a theoretical per-
fection which may never be reduced into practice. Interest
is, therefore, in this island, the common tie, that binds the

most discordant elements into harmony and peace. It can•
not be honoured as public spirit, for it is only private in-
- terest acting in a public manner, but it produces the same
*Acts, and is the! efore here, a beneficial principle.
In my next, 1 shall give you an account. of my reception
in the metropolis of England, which will excite no little
laughter on the banks of the Don, with my sentiments upon
it, and on every thing that strikes me as worthy of remark in
this land of wonders. Your friend and fellow warrior,

ACCTDENTS AND OFFENCES.

Last week, three men, farmers' set vents at Leybourn, near Town
Mailing. Kent, ...bile at their work, found under some hay, a tub of
brandy concealed by a smuggler, and of which they drank to such
excess, that one of them died b. fore reaching home, and the others
remain in a weak end dangerous state.
On Wednesday last, a duel was fought by two of the French pri-
soners on board the Sampson prison-ship, lying in Gillingham Reach,
when one of -them in consequence was kllled. Not having any swords,
they attached to the end of two sticks a pair of scissars each. The
deceased received the mortal wound in he Abdomen ; his bowel...pro-
truded, and yet he continued to parry aid' his antagonist while his
strength would admit. Afterwards an application was made to the
surgeon of the ship, who replaced the Intestines and sewed up the
wound; but he survived but a short time.

GOTTENBURGH, AUG. 13.—Private letters from Prussia state,
that hostilities would commence on the 16th, or as soon as the armies
could be brought to their different positions, which would requite
two or three days.

BERLIW, AUG. 14.—The Swedish troops are almost all .t;

and another corps of cavalry (Russians) will pass the Elbe, iit-c
Targumande. There are no troops in the countries of
nor Brunswick. It is reported, that Davoust has left Hamliurg.l
and proceeded to Saxony, and that the Danes garri.on Hamburkk.
Vandamme is at Dessan, and Dombrowski at Zerhit, with about
1000 Poles. All the troops appear to be inclining towards bison ;
there are many between Franktort, Wittenberg, and Torgau. In
Franconia and Bavaria there are at present more troops than there
ever were at any. preceding period. Wittrenstein and Kleista arc
at Prague, and their armies 60,000 strong, have been flaw:Loafed,
partly in waggons, through Bohemia to proceed to the Eyer. Pri-
vate letters from Prague say, that there is no doubt of the accession
of Austria, and all her troops are in motion. Sixty thousand Rus-
sians are forming at Budweis, to act in concert with the Austrian
reserve. Much artillery and gun-boats are ready at Stettin, so
that we expect that fortress will be taken by assault within eight
(lays after the Rid' of August. Woronzow and Herchteld are to
join Bulow's corps, and act under the Crown Prince of Sweden,
who will have an army of 150,000 men.
It is reported, though nothing official is known on the subject,
that after the Armistice had been denounced by Prussia, the French
took Breslaw, from which they were, however, afterwards driven
with the loss of 11 cannon. Fresh affairs are expected every day.
It is supposed there will be a great battle in Lusau.

FRENCH PAPEVS.

Path Papers reache4l town on Friday night to the 25th
instant, and vet, although communicating intelligence from
Dresden of the uithotot a syllable does BUONAPARTE venture
to impart to the French people of the real situation of affairs.
Although thus, within two days of the actual commencement
of hostilities, and five days after Austria had actually declared
war against Frauce, not the most distant allusion is male to
any such events; but, on the contrary, the deception is
kept up of correspondence and the passage of coursers between
Prague and Dresden, and the usual style of the Emperor
being at Dresden, and in good health, as if nothing whatever
out of the ordinary course had occurred. It is imposqUe to
impute this studied concealment to any other cause than to
actual dread of public opinion in France, and it is, we think,
a symptom more ominous to BUONAPARTE than any that as
occurred.—The Empress MARIA LOUISA was to set out on
the 23d for Cherbourg. The Queen of SICILY is to reside at
Buda.

Some uneasiness was excited on Friday, by the intel-
ligence of rejoicings having taken place on board the Scheldt
fleet on the 95th inst.—it was feared that they might he for
some victory.—Fortunately we are able to dissipate this
uneasiness. The dressing of the ships, and the salute, are
now known to have been in honour of BUONAPARTE'S
wife's birthday.
We have extracted from one of the German Papers,
In ought by the Gottenburg Mail, a ridiculous. French
,ao-
count of the operations in Spain, to, the 27th (not mention-
ing a word of the subsequent.. battles) in which it is menti-

01' THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, as a MINISTER OF JESUs
CHRIST
Much of his time was accordingly "occupied in reading
the Scriptures—comparing Translation with the Original-.
both of the Old and New Testament;" an employment in
which he was partly engaged on the evening of the sab-
bath that preceded his death. Indeed, subjoins the Rev.
Mr. Evans, " no Minister was mare assiduous to ascertain the
real meaning of the Sacred Writings—none more careful
to point out their beauties, and none more eager; to r'ecom-
mend their holy and purifying tendency. He knew that
they were profitable for doctrine, for reproof; for correction,
for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be

The die is cast and hostilitiOs have been resumed in the
North of the Continent. On the oese hand French, Italians,
Dutch, Swiss, Saxons, Poles, Danes, and Bavarians, united,
or lather assembled under one leader, threaten Europe with
universal slavery ; on the other, ' the Sovereigns of Russia,
Austria, Prussia, and Sweden, awake at last to a sense of
common danger, and supported by the patriotic zeal of their
subjects, collect all the resources of their vast empires to re-
sist the insulting claims of inordinate ambition. England,
secure herself from danger, encourages her Allies in the
glorious struggle; for them she lavishes her treasures ; for
them her gallant sons shed their blood; she points out to
the nations of the North one victim already liberated from
the grasp of tyranny by her persevering efforts, and her
WELLIRGTON proudly overlooking from the Pyrennees the
fertile valleys of France.

Such is the awful, the unparal!eled situation of Europe.
divided from one extremity to the other in • two parties
pretty equally balanced, and twelve" hundred Ihouttni men
are in arms on hoth.sides to decide,the great question of in-
dependence, or unlimited submission to the will of one man.

In the ordinary calculations of events, it might have been
supposed, that an obscure adventurer suddenly placed on one
of the first thrones of Europe, secure against any attack from
exterior enemies, would have enjoyed in peace his unex-
pected good fortune, and attempted to consolidate his newly
acquired power. Even'allowing that, as in the present in•
stance, the fiercest passions should lacerate his hardened bo-
som, still, motives of self-preservation might have assuaged
their fury, the instinct of ferocity itself gives way to pruden
tial considerations, and the tyger having seized a prey, does
not seek a doubtful engagement with the distant hunter.
Unfortunately for Europe, such was the opinion which
most of her Statesmen had formed of the Revolutionary Em-
peror of Fiance. Disappointed in their expectations of
crushing the French Revolution in its cradle, because they
had themselves adopted the system of spoliation on which it
is founded, they hailed the concentration of its tremendous
power into the hands of one man as the dawn of a new era,
and the heir of jacobinism was announced as the founder or
a new dynasty. 'The scene, in fact, was now changed, but
it was only another part of the sanguinary drama, and the
murderous ruffians had .only exchanged their bonnets rouges
for crowns and coronets.

On the principles, or rather total want of principles,
which gave birth to the French revolution, we shall not
dwell at present, the snhject hass already occupied far more
eloquent pens, and without entering into it we hardly know
bow to compress the various considerations which crowd

HELIGOLAN D MAIL.

RE-COMMENCEMENT OF HOSTILITIES.

HAMBURG'', Aug. 19.—Yesterday, the 18th, the Marshal Prince
of Eekmuhl broke up from his cantumnents. The enemy was re-
pulsed at all point•, atter having suffered a considerable loss: some
prisoners were taken from him. The Danes behaved themselves
extremely well. Last night the Prince caused the three entrench-
ments which cover Lauenberg to be attacked. The 3d battalion of
the 30th regiment of the line forced them with the bayonet, and
the enemy retreated in great confusion across the Stecknitz, leav-
ing the trenches filled with his dead and wounded. The loss that
he has suffered on this occasion must be ,:onsiderable.

LAUENBURG, co. 19.—His Serene Highness the Marshal Prince
of Lehmuld yesterday caused the position'of the enemy, in front of
Lauenburg, to be reconnoitred, and it was found to consist of 1,100
infantry, and sonic cavalry. The entrenchments and artillery ren-
dered this position very strong. His Serene Highness caused it to
be carried last night by the third battalion of the 30th regithent,
with the bayonet, without tiring a shot. The enemy, after quitting
the town, retired in the greatest colitwion across the Steeknitz.
We have taken some prisAiers, among whom are several Prussian
officers. Our loss, on the 18th, consisted in 100 men, mostly
slightly wounded ; the enemy's loss is far more considerable.
Svex, Aug. 16.—The headquarters of his Serene Highness +lie
Prince of Hesse ate still here, but every thing spews that they will
break up this day ; but whither, is not yet known.
Mollu is taken ; and intelligence is this day arrived here, that
Limenburg, which the Russians had fortified) is likewise taken.
Our troops have behaved very valiantly.

ACCIDENTS OND OFFENCES.

A fire broke ont on Sunday mot :ling, between eight and nine
o'clock, at the Salt's Farm-yard, belonging to about
eight miles to the westward of Brighton. It was discos ered to
proceed from the barn, in which it is said, a man had been snic-
king, and, in a few moments, communicated to the adjoining build,
jugs and stack-yard, and continued to rage with great fury for a
considerable time. !'hr( c barns, sheds, and onl-buildiegs, logohtl
with about LOO load of sheaves, 30 load of threshed whe..t, besides
other corn, were totally consented. The damage is estimated at
upwards of 40G01. Fortunately the horses and oxen were all pre-
served. It is miraculous that the farmAtonse should have escaped,
as the flames from the blazing ricks, at many interval%, seemed
completely to envelope it. In the orchard or garden, the apples
are said to have been literally roasted on the botighs„ and malty
were gathered and eaten in that state.—A contemporary who seems
to doubt the truth of this latter assertion, says, •' We have since
heard, that several unfortunate geese were boiled as they were
swimming in the fdrin-yard pond and Immediately eaten with the
apple sauce !"
On the 11th inst. an inquest was held at the palish of Morvali, near
Penzance, by Pearce Rogers, E
—sq. one of the Coroners for the county
of Cornwall, on the body of a young woman, of about 'l5 years tit
age. It api.eared in evidence, that the unfortunate young woman had
gone to a druggist at Penzance, and applied for arsenic to pcison rats,
and she being a person of respectable appearance. he had no °bite-
lion to selling it to her, and accordingly delivered her five drachms.
She returned, and finding her mother at tea, tultl her she kad put-
chased some powders for a pain in her stomach, and immediately
poured the arsenic into a cup of tea, which she drauk utT at once.

Elizabeth Bass, the widow of John Bass, was, on Monday last, com-
mitted to Peterborough gaol for trial, charged on the Coroner's Inquest
with manslauhter. It appeared in evidence that the deceased (who

bed room, when the woman pushed her husband down stairs, and he,
falling on his head, received su violent a blow as to deprive bite of life
a few hours afttrwards.

EVENTS OF THE LATE CAMPAIGN.

The following is an extract from Russia ; or, The Crisis of
Europe, a Poem, which has lately appeared, and the subject
of which is a re-capitulation of the astonishing events-of the
late campaign. Rumour attributes this production to Mr.
Oknising ; the following passage, and especially the just en
comium passed on Mr. Pit', corroborate the report and will
enable our readers to form their own opinion on the
subject.

Not always war shall triumph. Lo ! e'en now,
His crown sits loosely on Ambition's brow ;
Henceforth not ever shall his march await
The wreath of conquest, with the sword of fate!
Napoleon now is humbled, although wise
His failings and his teclings to disguise.
What, if he brcath'd in no mitliteful hour,
Cradled in wrath, and tempested to pow'r,
Heaven, that his course allows, his bounds ordains ;
Samuel is sent,—and Sant no longer reigus !
What, it he filled the firmament of fame,
While prostrate kingdoms sluidder'd at his name ;
His son now wanes,—the gazing tribes no more
Shake at its portents, or its beams adore !
Suck Lnrope's Crisis!—Oh that verse could rise,
Equal'd the • ra, and assert the skies ;
Heaven. earth excite, against their common foe,
And lay Ambition's murderous champions low.
Such Europe's Crisis !—Al'orthy him*, alone,
Who sav'd thy freedom when he sav'd thy throne,
britanoia! sav'd, and in that dubious hour
'When first the mental tempest seen to tom. ;
While revolution mark'd her anarch range,
Perplexing nations with the tear of change !
Sav'd by thy second Pitt, who, as he died,
Living thy shield, 6my country fondly cried ;
Glow'd still the patriot passion. warm in death,
Britannia breathing with his dying breath !

" Had Mr. Pitt liredi to this day," said Mr. Canning, in Ida
speech to the Committee for eree.ing the
.Monument in Guildhall
to the Memory of Mr: Pitt, " he mut have been highly gratified with
the present pro'pect." • ' •

Wednesday about four o'clock, the Princess of \VA LES,
attended by Lady GLENBERVIE, her Mistress of the Robes,
left Kensington-palace in her carriage and pair. Her Royar
Highness proceeded through Knightibridge, and just as the
cart got to Hyde-park-corner, the Piinces CHARLoiTE
passed in her carriage, and proceeded along Rotten •row, to
take an ailing. Neither of the carriages stopped, hut each
passed on. On the arrival of the Prince's ai York House,
a carret-was laid on the steps and entrance to the house, for
her Royal Highness. The Duche-s of YORK, attended by
Lady ANNE CULLING SmiTn, the Lady of the Bed cham-

DUFLA UP' THE FRENCH.

The gallant Cz ERNICHEF r, whose exploits we recorded in

his cxerLt ns, and profiting by the delay which has neces-
sarily occur' ed between the eonclushin of the armistice and
its rotificati n, on every point, he has refused to recognise
it ; as it will be seen by the following letter, drove the
enemy frum Leipzic on the 7th instant:—

cut his wind-pipe : the razor being pointed upwards, it cut the
root of his tongue, which made it difficult for him to eat, and al-

CCRONER'S INQUEST.—On Wednesday, an inquisition was taken
by G. Hodgson, Esq. Coroner, at the Three Compasses, Drury-
lane, on the body of Mary Murphy, (otherwise Baker), whom re-
port had stated eo have been barbarously murdered by a, man of the
narn. of Matthew Welch, with whom she cohabited. The witnesses
p:oved that the decea.ed was much intoxicated the evening before
she was found dead ; that she and Welch were quarrelling for some
tine, and that he repeatedly struck her. Mr. John Jarvis, a sur-
geon, of New Compton-street, stated, that there did not appear
any material marks ot violence on the body, and that her death might
have happened from the effects of drinkiht and passion. The Jury
were ot opinion, that Welch had used her with cruelty ; but re-
turned a verdict; that she died by suffocation or apopkxy.

BIRTHS.
The wife of Thomas Fox, a labourer, at Hernebill, Kent, delivered
