SIRE—Tile army, unanimous in its views and affections, in older
to im brought to' a free and simple submission to your Majesty's
Ouverun►ent, has n 0 need either of receiving any private impulse,
or of altering its spirit or sentiments; it is enough fur it to consult
the sentiments that have animated it under all circumstances, and
the spirit which guided it during the last twenty-five years of po-
litical storms. Its opinions, its acts, the conduct of each of its
members, always had for their actuating cause that love of coun-
try, ardent, deep, exclusive, capehle of every effort, of every
sacrifice, respectable even in its errors and wanderings, which at
all times commanded the esteem of Europe, and which secures to
us of posterity. The generals, the officers, and the soldiers,
who now surround their colonrs, and alio are attached to them
with the greatest constancy and love, even when they are n►ost
unfortunate, are not men who can be accused •f regretting private
advantages. To other thoughts, therefore, to motives more dig-
nified and noble Must be ascribed the silence which the army has
hitheito kept. from the lowest soldier to the officer of highest
tank, the nem!' army numbers in its ranks only citizens, song,
fathers of citliens ; it is intimately connected with_ the nation ; it
cannot separate its cause from that of the Freneh people ; it
adopts with theta, it adopts sincerely the govertnnent of your
Majesty it will cause the happiness of France by generous and
complete Oblivion of all that has past, by effacing every trace of
assention, by tespectleg. the rights of all. Convinced of this truth,
fhll of respect and confidence in the sentiments expressed by
your Majesty, the army swears to you, with entire seibmlssion, a
fidelity, proof against all trial ; it will shed its blood in ti►itilm►ent
of the oaths which it this day pronounces to defend the King and
France,

ANOTHER LETTER.

"By some passangers 'who came in the Bellerophon it ap-
pears that Bonaparte was quite at his case on board that
ship, took possession of the Captain's cabin, sans ceremonie,
invited the officers of tha ship to his table, talked with great
f: cedom on the present state of things, said it was imposible
for the Bourhous to govern France, aid that Napoleon 11.
would very soon be recalled to the Throne; that Fouche was
an ass, and totally tinAt for the office assigned to him. He
acknowledged that England alone had ruined all his grand
plans, and but for her he had now been Empetor of the East
as well as of the West. lie walked on the poop and quarter
deck, conversed with the seamen, and affected great gaiety
and unconcern. in short, such is the talent of this "Child

sallied by the coach being overturned, near Dartford.
airs Serjeant IlEsir, for tne plaintiff. *tided the ciremmstanees of
04e case for the plaintiff, as they were afterwards detailed in cal-
a:knee. rt appeared that the coach was much overloaded, both as
passengers and luggage, and that the plaintiff was one of the Out.
4ti.le passengers, and was taken up at the Half-way-house. between
she Bricklayers' Arma and Deptford. The coachman was stated by
one of the witnesses to be in liquor at the time the coach started
from the White Bear, in Piccadilly. In going down Ilse hill, near
Dartford. about ten o'clock at night. the horse-% having no breech-
ing, and the coachman not having locked the wheel, the coach was
driven down with its ordinary velocity, which soon became in-
creased from the declivity of the bill, until at length, at a turning
in the road, the horses ran upon the bank, and the coach was over-
rained. The plaintiff was t'otual lying in the middle of the road,
upon his back. incapable of motion, anti teas taken as soon as pos.
stole to a neighbouring inn at Dartford, where medical advice was
instantly sent for.
It appeared by the evidence of the surgeon who was called in,
that a great discharge of blood had taken place without any egternal
wound, in consequence of a severe contusion of the perinamm, and
that the plaintiff was confined at the inn front the middle of March,
when the accident happened, till the Otter end of May, when he
was scarcely able to have the place with his crutches; during which
rime Itis expenses at the inn, and his doctor and nurse, amonuted
to little short of i5O/. The surgeon• also stated, that he had seen
about a week ago, and that lie was just able to walk with his
crutches; and that in his judgment be would never be tree trout
the accident as long as he lived.

limited in its execution, as to produce but a very inconsi•
der'able effect.
But how could it be expected that the restored mo-
narch should spontaneously show any resentment against
the inferior members of the conspiracy, when ho retained
ore of its chiefs as the Foul of his councils and the prime
minister of his kingdom ? As long as Fouche fills this
e'evated post, how can Louis XVIII. be just if he punishes
his accomplices ? When a crime is rewarded in one in-
stance with power and dignities, how can it in another
sr visited with disgrace and death ? Such arc the diffi-
culties to which Louis has subjected himself by forming
au alliance with the Jacobins and their chief. The re-
sult will be either that FouchC will triumph and the
guilty- will only be tried as a matter of form and spared
as an act of mercy ; or else that Fouche will be sacri-
ficed as soon as the King shall feel himself sufficiently
strong to deprive him of his temporary authority, with-
out the aid of the Allies, which he may not wish to em-
ploy on such an occasion. His energy would then be
acknowledged and in future respected. It would be seen
that the conduct w Iti-ch now wears the appearance of
-rankness, was on the contrary, the result of political
skill; and that instead of intending to meek the feelings
of his faithful subjects by the elevation of a rebel over
them, he had only kept Fouche, as the captors of a town
or harbour often do the flag of the nation to which it
previously belonged, in order to attract and seize those

of their danger in time to elude it.

ACCIDENTS, OFFENCES, &c.

Tuesday evening an alarming f,re broke out at Mr. Cox's,
timber-mtrchant, in Shepherd'S marker, near Curzon-street,
Iklav-fair. The flames were test perceived to issue from the
wolkshop, and in a few minutes the whole neighbourhood was
in a state of the utmost alarm. From the confined situation
of the premises, it was impossible to stop the ravages of the de-
vouring element, and in less than an hour the woilishop, with
:'he whole of the timber, became a prey to fhe flames. The
houses in Half Moon-street wet e considered in imminent danger,
the rear of them being close to where the lire broke out. They
were fru tunately but litrledamagctl. The inhabitants, neftwith
standing suff_Ted much, by the mob insistina on removing their.

ALP MONTHLY MEDICAL REPORT.
gth DEC. 1815

The quick arid irregular interchanges• of frost and rain
since Our last Report, have been productive 'of coughs,
catarrhal fevers, internal inflammations, and an aggrava!ed
state of Phthisis Pulmonalis. Cases of pleurisy and flet).
untie fever have been frequents and have required repeated
venwsection, blisters, and other remedies. Infants have
been very generally affected with catarrhal fever, and hard
cough, great difficulty of breathing, and a watery discharge
from_the nose • and eyes. These symptoms have been re-'
liered by leeches to the, chest, blisters, and antimonials.

The Scarlatina Anginosa is abating ; bnt the Measles
are more general, and have been diffused throughout most
of the villages round the metropolis : many infants have
died of the cough, and hectic fever which succeeded them.

The Small Pbx, now a rare disease compared with
former times, has however shown itself in some places
We cannot tooforcibly impress upon parents the necessity
of having their children vaccinated by skilful and expe-
rienced operators : the cases of failure which have hap.

error in the inoculation, whilst the most secure and satis-
factory results may be shown in the registered account. 01:

At this season of the year inifarnmatou diseases take
the lead ; they are 'produced by a re-action in the system,
after the body has been too long and too much cooled, and
then too suddenly exposed to heat, or by an exposure to
cold after its heat has, been augmented by close and warm
rooms, exercise, &c. and the lives of hun,lreds of young
persons are annui.lly sacrificed from inattention to these

commanded by t•,.. Duke a+. %Yelliti:Jon and Prince Blu•
cher, an additional 50 millions. to be equally divided
between both, will be giv n to Great 11..itaiii and Prussia,
making their shares of the contribution 125 millions each.
It•is left 'o the discretion of our Government to distribute
amongst the States, whose troops fought under the Duke
of Wellington, in the memorable held of Waterloo, such
part as :hall seem tit of the additional 25 millions; and
hefe we beg to su.2gest the propriety of devoting stud, part
of this sum as fall's to our share. to remunerate the hero'c
bravery o' our troops, who fought on the immortal day of
the 18th of June We hope too, that its application will
be made i the manner we have suggested. Perhaps it
would not be requiring too inuch, if the 100 millions. which
besides fall to this rouiitry, were applied to some purpose-
that would constitute a lasting memorial of the bravery of
our armies. anti of the gr &tittle Of the nation.

It is etermitied. in order to make the custody of Buo,

island of Ascension. which is situated 'l'oo leagues north
west of St Hel.-na. This m-asure probably arises from its
having been recently ascertained that a few years ago, some
deserters made their escape in a tishing.boat from st. Helena
to Ascension, and from th. lice to India, on board a ship
which touched at that island to refresh the crew with the
turtle that abound on it's shores.

BUONAPARTE'S ARRIVAL at Sr. lIELENt.

Further particulars of Buonaparte's arrival at St. Helena
have reached town from that island, to the 2c2d of October.
On the 16th of that month, his Majesty's ship Icarus arrived
there with the first tidings of Buonaparte's downfall, of his
being a second time saved from punishment, and of his
destination to that island as a place of confinement. The
inhabitants naturally were struck with no small degree of
*urprise. It was of clurse learnt at the same time, that a
very considerable addition would be made to the population

ErEFCH OF THE KEEPER OF THE SEALS.

GENTIAMEN—The King bas orilefed ns to lay before yon a plan
of law for the suppresrion of seditious cries and provocations to re•

hellion. .
Our old and new laws contain sufficient regulations for the Op-
pression of these crimes in times of tranquillity, and when no extraor-
dinary circumstance interrupts the order and accustomed pio
eel-dings of the Government. But if great crimes have been cum-
'flitted, if the laws have been disrerarded, if a peaceable and disarmed
multitude has been forced to yield to violence and arms, if, for his
own preservation, the citizen who was subject to the laws, has been
forced to remain motiooless berme seditious bands, without dis-
cipline or (-outrun], assembled as the last support of a desperate fac-
tion ; if iniquity has for a len2th of time enjoyed its fatal triumphs,
calamities are ;till prolonged even when these events are interrupteil.
Rebels then endeavour by means of audacity to recover their lint
advantages. The seditious mutually iestigate each other, and make
efforts to be perceived in all places, and at every hour, as if certain
of a new victory should they succeed in inspiring terror. They re-
ceive into their society Ali whom the armies have r4eeted with to-

1815.

The Constitution of the Assemblee Constituante had
been formed by the most enlightened men at the close of
the 18th century. Every article had been attentively dis-
e.issed, and three whole years had been dedicated to the
aLcomplishment of the whole. Yet it contained tw•o great

defects : the concentration of the legialativo power in a

Fingle Chamber, and the _nullity of. the Royal authority,
hich was.left unprotected against the progressive usurpa-
tions of a.selcaud permanent assembly, or the open enter-
prise of anarchy, whose first attack overthrew the mo-

itarchy.- ,
The Constitutions of the years 3d and Sth, had only
indicated that balance of three powers, which by main-
*filling their equilibrium, insures their independence. The
Council of Five Huadrcd and that of the iincicnts, ema-
-slitting from the same source and composed of the same
elements, presented only two divisions of the same as-
sembly, which therefore could nut counterbalance each
other. The Executive wanted that unity which forms
its strength ; and that hereditary succession which alone
aan perpetuate and regulate its action.
Tha Imperial Constitution remedied those inconve-

niences by creating an hereditary throne, and a senate
for life. But a dumb Legi%lative Body and a Council of
state transformed into a manufacture of laws and Senatus

Consulta, rich servilely expressed the sole will of the
Prince, left of a Constitution little more than the name. .
The Royal Charter, formed still more closely to our
model, was, however, only a variation of the Imperial.
Its chief merit .was.jta,being executed_ mere faithfully.
The Additional Act to the Constitutions of the Empire
brought it still nearer perfection, as it secured the un-
limited liberty of the press, the trial by Jury, and the
responsibility of ministers. The present altered charter
I:4 diminished some of, those concessions, or cast a
doubt on their durability. It is, however, sufficiently
ti!:eral to ensure a considerable portion of freedom to the
peetple, provided it be put in force. Laws unobser►ed do

rtve harm than if they did not exist : rightl granted and
then denied would raise more enemies to the throne than
the refusal of those liberties at the tine they were
claimed.

erqcelulness Of action and attitude is inconsistent
tvith the frolicseme levity of youth. Perhaps, how-
cver, ,this wits occasioned by the excessive agitation
nnder which she scented to labour when appeared on the
stage. It is true, that she has been ill treated by some
%ugallant iters, blockheads who would wrap a blanket
round the Medicean Venus, or cast stones at the Apollo
Bell 'dere ; but as she has removed whatever the coldest
heart could deem objectionable, let her not doubt the
protection of the public against all tasteless *and unjust
aLlacks. fit the toidshipman's dress she regained perfect
possession of herself, and united grace with spirit and
feeling. When she resumed the habiliments of her sex,
she retained WI her excellence, and the melody of her
%nice, the varied and rapid changes of her countenance,
the occasional ditty and tenderness of her manner, still
Llinglcd with artles3 simplicity, formed the most interesting
and na!ural picture. This performance has since been
rcikqtted with enthusiastic marks of public approbation.
On Thursday', Mr. Kean's Othello drew one of the most
c: owded houses of the season. He displayed his usual
.
c..cellence, and although he varied his mode of performing
many parts, he did it with equal judgment, feeling, and
eifect. Mr. Pope's Irtr;o was played K ith much discrimi-
ration and- spirit; and N. Bartley, iu 1/est/en/ono, and
Mrs. Glover, 41 Einclia, justly obtained a large share of

shew that the King begins to consider himself more firmly

him. The first Ordonnance relates to the pensions and

THE EXECUTION OF MARSHAL NEY.

PARIS, Dic. 8.-I'he sentence was carried into execution yes-
terday morning at eto minutes past nine o'clock.
Marshal Ncy seemed to be in a sound sleep when the Secretary
of the Chamber, M. Cauchy, repaired to him to read his sentence.
Before he proceeded to read it, lif tempted to address some kind
words to him to testify how paieful it was to him to be forced to
discharge so sad an office. " Sit," sa.d the Marshal, stopping him,
" do your duty; every one must uo his duty—read." Upon the
preamble being read, he said impatiently, " to the fact, to the tact
at once." When his titres were detailed, he observed, " What
good can this do? Michel Ney, then a heap of dust, that is all."
When M. Cauchy came to that article relating to the Succession
to the Crown—" That Law," exclaimed the Marshal, " cannot be
applicable to me--it is for the Imperial Family it was made.'
After the reading, Cauchy said, that if in-these last moments lip
wished for the consolations of religions he might send for the Keg-

PrIANSION ROUSE.

Two Lascars were yesterday brought before the Lord Mayor on
a charge of stealing a gold seal value 51. from the shop of Mr.
Kitchener in Gracechurc Street. It appeared that on Thursday
last the prisoners went into Mr. shop under pretence of
making some purchase, but went out without making any. After
they were gone the seal in question was missed, and information
bok:ng given at the Mansion House they were apprehended. They
protested their innocence; and said they had slept on board Um
Bombay East Indianan the night before. This on enquiry proved
to be an untruth ; and several other jewellers came up who were
plundered in a similar way, and who did not suspect the prisoners
from their being foreigners.—The prisoners were remanded.

ACCIDENTS, OFFENCES &c.
Mr. Webb, carpenter, of Melksham, Bath, lost his life on Friday
last, by incautiously putting a piece of red-hot iron iota the barrel
of a gun; which being charged with powch2r instantly went off,
and the iron entering his head, he expired ia half an hour.
On Sunday morning a serious and distressing accident occurred
at Woodlands, near Doncaster. As Lord Athenry, son of Mrs.
Waterton, was walking in the plantations near the house, he un-
fortunately set his foot upon the wire of a spring gun, which had
been placed there the preceding evening, and received several
shot in his knee and legs. We are happy to state, that though se-
verely wounded, his Lordship is in a fair state of recovery.
Yesterday se'nnight the daughter of Johathen Best, of Cross
gate, Durham (who for several years has beer, ,afflicted with epilep-
sy, which frequently occasioned mental derangement) seized a
ease knife, and ran to the door. Him tlither immediately followed,
but before he could seize the knife, she had cat 11 inches off her
tongue!

An inquest was held on Tuesday at the Red Lion, Battye-street,
Commercialrroad, on the body of Frances Rogers, live years old,
who, in attempting to lift the lid of a pot on the tire, in the tempo-
rary absence other grandmother, set her clothes on tire, by which
she was burnt to death. Verdict—Accidental Death.
On Tuesday an Inquest was held at the Crown, in Duke's-court.
Leieester,square, on the body of W. Hill, It years of age, who
was drowned in the Canal iu St. James's Yark.• W. Diamond, a
waterman, deposed, that on Sunday afternoon he and two other
waternien, provided with lines, were near the Pagoda bridge,
when several of the skaters came close to the bridge to shew their
dexterity, and were repeatedly warned of their danger, becau.e
the ice on that part was not sufficiently strong ; but they persisted
until the ice broke, and several were immersed in the water.
mong,st them was the deceased, who was observed above the
water about tto minutes : timing which time the line was repeatedly
thrown to bial, but he could nut bold by it. Verdict—Accidental
Death. .
