splendid has seldom rewarded Blitisli valour, hi illiant arkt

countsgiven of both these in the Gaziettes, relieve us from
the necessity of offering any comments on them.

A report is in circulation, that the Keeper of a Prison in
Prance has declared he has' a prisoner in his keeping whore

probably altogether false, has given rise to a variety of
travagant 'rumonrs. Among other things it has been sailte
the Dauphin (Louis XVII.) is alive, and has been kept thus
long in captivity. This Is not worth refuting, as every one
knows Buonaparte bad a great veneration for the atiage
which teaches that " Dead men tell no tales."—lfe w ul4

The Hereditary Prince of Orange landed on Friday at

We are glad to learn from good author'ity, that the King
of France intends to comment:, speedily after his cotton•
ation, a tour into the provinces', witl be continued at
intervals, as his Majesty's health and Irniness will permit,
till he ha- visited every principal town in his kingdom,—Such
are the effects of the manners and the visible character of
Louis XVIII. upon the hearts of all who approach him;
that few measures could tend more than this to the confir-
mation of his paternal authority.
The Emperors of Russia and Austria, and the King of
Prussia. all visit England immediately. The whorl:- of tlir
large hotel in Hanover-square, is engaged for the Emperor
of Austria. The Emperor of Russia proposes being with
his sister, the Duchess of Oldenburg, to whom he is affection-
ately attached, at the Pulteney hotel in Piccadilly ; and for
the King of Prussia the residence is not yet fixed, hot he
intends being at an hotel with his suite. Thus will all the
combined Powers, who have contributed to the <alvation of
Europe, be assembled at thC same time in London.

When the Duke de Berri entered Paris, Bet trier made an
address to his Royal Highness in the name of all the Matihals
of France. Their is an interesting anecdote of the Mar:
shals. When they first waited upon Monsieur, they sent in,
by the Master of the Ceremonies, their request to be per-
mitted to pay their respects to his Royal Highness. Mon-
sieur immediately came -into the anti-chamber, and hoped
the Marshals of Fiance would never think it necessary to ask
permission to be intrOdueed to Win.; they had all the nati-
onal cockade in their hats but Monsieur addressed each of
them i•n so kind, affable, and frank a manner, that with one
accord they tore out the national, and mounted the white
cockade.

[FROM THE SATHIST OF THE rnr.sENT 'MONTH ]

lAN. EDITOR—I beg to forward the prospeef IIF or a. New
Hoax. If yeti and or or two of 'your fiencls will join me
in it we can carry it into effect w ith great ease anti perfect
security.

This gentleman, after we have concluded o:tr barga'nl on
'Change, shall start off some morning in a chaise nod four,
from Deal or Dover, (having first s- t the telegraph to
'clerk) with an account of the death of the Emperor of
China, and the total subjugation of the whole Chines-_! em-
pire by the tritish arms. _ _

Now when the trick is discovered, and the Stock Es
change Committee (if they should smoke us) are just about
to prosecute, I, to satisfy the world that I am a man of
konmtr, and a lover qf jitslicel will offer to explain the
-whole for ten or Fifteen thousvtd pounds (1 think ten
would be too little), and to convict the parties concerned.
This offer shall be made through you ; and you and your
friends, to slim you have clean hands, and ate disposed
to be liberal, shall offer a thousand pounds each, towards
the fifteen to be paid to me. You can afford this, you
1: now, as there will then be a gond round sum left to be
shared among us. I have a couple of poor devils at my
commmd who are willing to go to prison for a hundred
*pounds a year each, and will suffer themselves to be con-
victed. If these fellows go to prison for seven 1-cars, the
expimse will not he very great ; end I think af:er the first

will be afraid to exiyise us. Mit evt nif they should we
