capital without foreign troops. which must never trample on l'aris.
Louis XV II I. must reign with the support of the nation. In other
respects I refer to what I have before said. Posterity inspires my

irresistabla necessity and perfect conviction alone have determined me
to think, that there is no other means of saving our country. I have

Powers, namely, Russia, Great Britain, Austria,
France, and Prussia, tiirm at present a kind of Am-
phyctionic Council, which not only extends its influence
over Europe, but over the other parts of the world,
and has tin. its object to settle the differences arising
between individual States. This tribunal will have
for some time a kind of permanent seat at Paris, where
the French Prime Minister and the Ambassadors of the
different Powers resident at the French Court will be
its assessors. This European tribunal is employed at
present, among other things, with the disputes between
Portugal and Spain. From time to time, however, the
monarchs in persons will assemble at it for the purpose
of forming with great prompitudc a decisive judgment
on the affairs of the world. This congress of sovereigns
will take place on the sth of August at Spa, where
without doubt, many things will be definitively settled
which, by the sudden and unexpected arrival of Burnie-
parte in France, were left unadjusted at the breaking
up nt the Congress at Vienna. Lord Castlereagh will
repair, as Plenipotentiary of England, to the Continent
when this period arrives, and attend to the interest of
Great Britain at this assembly—Times.
