stances, it is not going too far to maintain that the des-
tinies of France rest,in the hands of an individual, and to
say with the most zealous, but the most clear-sighted
French Royalists, " that if Fouch6 prove faithful, the
King and France are saved : but if he be insincere the
dynasty of the Bourbons cannot stand."
The point which it is important to consider is, there-
fore, what degree of confidence may be placed on the ho-
nesty of this Minister. If we appeal to the common
teacher of mankind, experience, what will be its n-
guage ? It will say that Fouche's first step in his poli-
tical career has been the destruction of Royalty and the
execution of a Monarch : that the fierce Republican
suddenly stooped to become the accomplice and Mi-
nister of a Despot : that he served him faithfully to
the last, and when his Master sunk under the in-
dignation of avenging Europe, retired from public life :
that when another political explosion flung back
the Outcast on the throne, Fouche re-appeared as
his pillar, and when a second bolt had dashed the
power of Buonaparte to the ground, his faithful mi-
nister caused his son to be proclaimed Emperor, and was
the first to take the oath of fidelity. Such are the
charges which experience will bring to invalidate the
sincerity of Fouche's present professions and conduct ;
and it must be confessed that they form an awful body,
whose force i§ the greater, as ite foundation is fact,
unadorned and unexaggerated. On the other hand it
appears, that in the exercise of his office, even unde r
the iron rod of the oppressor, Fouche often stood
between the sentence and its execution : that he dared to
utter truth, when the language of extravagant flattery
alone was welcome, and almost universally prevailed :
that events, not treachery, removed him from the service
of his first master; and that, at the moment of his fail,
instead of joining in the loud execrations poured upon
head by the creatures of his bounty and his power, he sup-
plied him with the sound advice of a friend to him and to
the peace of Europe. Finally, it is clear, that al.
though he resumed his former office, at the restora-
tion of the Imperial Government, and outwardly sup-
ported its existence and asserted its rights, he did not
put forth his iusn to prevent )its overthrow. His
feigned acquiescence with the wishes of different parties,
enabled him to lead them to the end which he had in view,
without occasioning fresh explosions, and to his firmness
and decision France is probably indebted for the re-es-
tablishment of her King and the preservation of her ca-
pital. With all these facts in his favour, still much
doubt must be entertained, and the future alone can solve
the complicated problem of his wind and heart.

with his son and daughter. They had for dinner some yeast durn-

before Mrs. Charlotte 'furrier, finding herself extretnly unwell, re-
tired to her room, anti upon inquiry was found complaining of vio-

POLITICAL DIMU►SIT'ION.
APPROACHING EVENTS.

The morning of the year just beams upon us, and Na-
ture smiles in reviving beauty. Never has Spring breathed
milder gales, or brighter glories blazed In an April sky.--
The earth puts forth all her buds, and material creation
rejoices through all her kingdoms. How different is the
state of the moral world! Consternation lowers on the
brow, or indignation flashes in the eyes of mankind. Hu-
manity shudders without hope, and the hands of man pre-
pare to deface that world, arrayed in so much beauty and
magnificence. Satan has once more passed the gates of

Hell, an( _ _
Awakened from their deceitful slumbers and nattering
dreams, tue nations of Europe behold their ancient enemy
standing before them ; and their first shriek of alarm is a
cry for war. They see him passing from captivity to a
throne, and invested With that power whic.h, ho.xo.long
wielded for their ruin and 'dsegrachttiOn. Moderation sits
on his lips, humitity on-hitbrow, but they know him too,
wen to be once more deltteled:4.--They, hear him—renounce,
his ideas of the grand of Which, after fifteen,years'
labours, and when almost all continental Europe had bowed
to his sway, "he had only laid the foundations," without
believing his professions. But they credit him when he
speaks of consolidating the French power, because they
know that it is a preliminary step to the resumption of
those views of universal dominion, which he now acknow-
ledges he once entertained, and which he pretends to have
abandoned. They, therefore, rush to arms to prevent
that consolidation. They reject his pacific overtures as
snares that would prove their ruin, and they proclaim him ani
outlaw, with whom no peace is to be made, as having been
weighed in the balance of public faith and found wanting.l
They reduce him therefore to the necessity of either
purchasing his life by a voluntary surrender of his
crown, or of engaging in ft war of conquest or death.
'What his choice will be cannot be doubtful. Even
in the unfinished state of his preparations', the thunder
of a battle, the shouts of contending hosts, and the
joys of anticipated victory, offer too many charms not
to seduce his imagination." I never an: so well." he once
told his physician, " as in the midst of great commo-

In order to make room for the original and authentic account of
the discoveries made to Louis XVIII. and to his Ministers, re-
specting the conspiracy formed in favour of Ruonaparte, and so
imaceountilbly disregarded, we have been obliged to suspend any
detailed observations on the Declaration of the Allies, the ad-
dresses to Napoleon, and his answers. As we give the original.
of th se documents in their fullest state, however, explanatory•
rwnarks were less necessary. The Theatre has also been post
poned from the same cause, and the magnificence of " 74m-
Mica," at Govent Gatden, and the rich melodies of the " iNknown
Guest," at Drury-lane, must wait to receive the justice due to
their merits till our next. The Dramatic Register will then be re-
sumed with fresh spirit ; and other sourcea of interesting and ex-
clusive information he opened for the gratification of our Readers.

the minds of the French people, throwing the appearale,e
of justice on his side. Whatever be his motive, war
he will and shall have. The call to arms re-echoes
through every part of Europe, battalions are in march,
armlet, are collecting, and May-flowers, instead of being-
steeped in dew, will be drowned in human blood.
To pretend to announce eseetly .whet will
issue of the war, would be mere presumption. So much
depends on circumstances, so much on the will of that
Providence, which it is now unfashionable to consider
as interfering:with the destinies of the earth.) that men
must bow in humble expectation and hope. Reasonitig
however, may be allowed, where decision is not. The
Allies are strong in numbers and positions. They.may
attack where they, please, and on several points at
once. Their troops are experienced veterans who
have redeemed their honour, and must support it, by
triumph. They have to maintain all they have gained
or to lose all they possess : for once engaged in
hostilities, as they will grant no mercy if they succefel,
they wilt SOO sem ekeern then If they. fail. Na-

it : Alexander may ask, u at Austerlitz, " whether his
life is safe," and receive-no reply: They must conquer or
fill, and ittatlotivictiou, will:double their exertions and
their strength. On the other hand, Buonaparte's power
even in its' unprepared state, is formidable. Those by
whom he has been recalled and acknowledged, have by
that act, pledged their lives to support him'. If they fail,
they perish as traitors on the scaffold ; for mercy which
forgives a first fault, will not spare a relapse. They are
chiefly soldiers, whose laurels have been blasted and -who
pant to redeem their' glories ;• prisoners, detained in nil
the states of Europe; litho long to re-appear as conquerors,
where they have crawled as captives ; purchasers of na-
tional domains, whose property is forfeited by this second

RECENT EVENTS IN FRANCE.

Miss Helen Mat is Williams has published an account of
events in France during the last reign of Buonaparte, which
contains among other partiCulars the following:
" All hopes of external alliance has now vanished ; and
Austria, instead. of coming to Napoleon's aid, as he had pi e-
tended, having crushed- his brother-in-law, who was arrive in
his cause, he was left to his own resources and to his allies the
military, and the sans-culotterie or canaille of Paris. Since
the appearance of his constitutions, the fervOur of this last
body of active citizens bad, however, been considerably
abated.—Some. who considered him as an apostate from the
faith, were become very lukewarm in their alliance; others,
as subsidies had Ceaged, mis-spent their time no longer its
vociferation. This turbulent class did not return to their
accustomed labour, for all workshops were shut up, as all
commerce was at an mi. Their residence in Paris was
dangerous, and required the strict surveillance of the national
guard. A few were engaged by the Government to waft- at
the fortifications round Paris, •and others eiigage t!".stlvcs
as members of the Corps Francs, to guard the country round
the :metropolis.
" The Corps Francs were organised bands of volunteers,
hired by some chief, commissioned by the police. They bad
been instituted in the last •campaign to protect the rural
communes of the departments round Paris from pillage by'the
scattered Russian Cossacks. 'The daily papers were filkd
with doleful accounts of depredations committed by these
northern barbarians. All the horrors of war were poured on
the johabitants, and files of municipal certificates were pub-
lished with the intention of rousing the citizens of Paris to
resistance, lest such also shOuld be their fate.
"This Part of the business was ill managed, for it was
proved that no Russian Cossicks had entered these depart-
ments; and that all these horrors bad been committed by
the volunteers of the Corps Francs, or, as they were called,
the Cossacks of the Fauxbourgs St. Antoine and St. Marceau,
who had assumed the costume of the Russian Cossacks.
" It was still thought expedient to keep up the semblatoce
`of concord and popularity at the Thuilicries, although the
, Conned Chamber WO often the gene of bitieoCst contention.

TO THE PUBI.ICs
The 'Contractors having conducted themselves towards P T D DING

asst. Scheme as advertised by Government, and because they would
tot hold forth to the Public the delusion that the ) Prizes of 50,C0J1.

thereof, (as 4 Prizes of ,20,0031. roust first be drawn,) PIDDING and

mind them, that when on a tor mer occasion these same Contractors
acted oppressively to P and Co. by refusing to take back their un-

the largest Capitals, a repetition of which is perhaps destined now to

Scurvy, Rheumatism, Scrofula,' Leprosy, and all Disorders proceed-
iog front an impure state of the blood, are the only Medicine ever in-
vented, whose salutary effects on the human frame remove the most
dangerous diseases. At the same time give tone to the nervous sys-
tem, and additional vigour to the body and mind. Add to this, that
no mineral poison is admitted as an ingredient in their composition-. a
fact easily ascertained beyond a doubt. The Proprietor, conscious that
it must be the interest of every individual, (afflicted with the above
,complaints) to make a triak of so ilesirribte.4 remedy ; and conscious

much it is their interest to proceed. Tlw most extraordinary case of
inveterate Scurvy ever knows*, has recently yielded to the salutary ef-
fects of these Pills, after every other Medicine had been tried in vain.
This was a most inveterate Scurvy, cf .JO years standing, which had
appeared from time to time, on almost every part of the hotly, and
caused seseral holes in the legs, which these Pills have radically cured.

" gets the money for its duty." But of what avail is it,
if it is got at the expence of an individual, thus rendered
unable to proceed in his avocations, and of course corn.
pelted to shorten his supply to Government in some other
shape ?

But, to the accurate reflector, this horrible system
opens but a gloomy prospect for the future. Our artists
are driven to foreign countries. This idand, which, of
right, ought to be the exclusive magazine for British
literature, is about to be deprived of a most lucrative
branch of trade.

The French are at this moment hard at work, to expel
the British bookseller from the Continental and American
markets. The excessive price of paper, printing, &c. in
Great Britain, will give them a most decided advantage,
if not a complete victory, in this contest.

Of the practical effects of this system, even in its in-
cipient state, an idea may be formed by the following

BOXING.

The battle for fifty guineas? anda purse of twenty, which
excited much sporting interest, betwixt Richmond, the vete-
ran black, turned fifty, well known by his various. combats,
and Shelton, the navigator, famed for the stand—he made
against Harmer a few months since, and more recentbr for
beating the Suffolk Farmer, in 'finished style, took place on
Tuesday, on Mousley• Hurst, amidst many thousands of ama-
teurs. Average betting 11 to 8 on Richmond. The odds
were enhanced by Shelton having hurt his right knee whilst
training; a few days since, which was much iollamed, but
it did not appear to injure him in the fight. Seconds, Cribb
and Clark for Shelton, and Oliver and Painter for Richmond.
THE RATTLE.

Round I—Shelton anxiously commenced operations and hit short,
as did also Richmond with his left hand. The black planted *
slight left-handed hit on his adversary's body, who returned smartly
with the left on Richmond's eye, which Traduced first Hand. A E;il y
followed, in which Shelton had the best of lighting, apparentlyto
the spectators, and the black went down, and icceived a hit at the
same time. Even betting.
2 The Black's right eye was much swollen awl closing fast.
Shelton received a tremendous right handed hit in the month, &sus
which the claret flew copiously, and he went down with it 1,1,C is

S. The Illack'endeavonred to follow np his system of fighting, and
to speedi!y get judgement in this Chancery suit, but his right hand
missed, and in the redly lie had the worst alit and was down.
4. Shelton placed a right-handed hit, having the left ready ter
action; and in a sort of a scrambling round, in which Pidtlii Mid
played come dexterous rapers, he went /town to avoid giving his

completely in darkness. ••

MR. CA PEL LOFT.

MR. EDTTOR.—In the present conflict of opinions respecting the
,lisposal of Buotiaparte's person, Mr. Cape' Loft, whose former
Exertions were sufficient to make him immortaliy ridiculous, has
come forward again to make himself the laughing stoek of the town.
He has discovered that it will be a violation of Magna Chatta m
send Ilmmaparte to St. Helena, and that lie oeght to he allowed the
bent fit of the Habeas Corpus act. Thi, gentleman's affection for
the Emperor, as he calls him, seems to have annihilated the power of
offering any thing in imitation of a rational aremnent. and he pre.
lets in several parts of his letters. (for he has al, early inflicted two on
the Morning Chronicle,) heroic derlatnation. to attempting it. He
has discovered that Ministers have always been anxious to drive" the
great and firm mind of Napoleon into suicide." It they can do this
" they will rejoice in the completion of their work," though they may
perhaps" shed crocodile tears." The state to which " the greatest of
living men" is now unhappily reduced, is that for which he was not
prepared,'' though long accustomed to sufir much and to expect I
every thing' The interesting sufircr concludes his seconl letter
by informing the public, that " it may be dangerous to speak ;"
" but," he adds, " when to be silent is criminal, what Fuglisman, •
what man can help it, who is worthy of the name." These are
some of the limbs amid outward flourishes of his silly letters.--
On summing op their substance, it will he seen that eon.
tending Innonaparte has a right to the benefit of the Habeas
Corpus act, he assumes, that Ministers, iii transporting him to
St. Helena, violate Magna Cliarta, by passing sentence of suicide
ou a fallen enemy; and, under throe circuluatunees, Mr. Capri ,

MR. SADLER'S BALLOON.

The following is Mr. Sadler's account of his ascension
with his balloon at Norwich, on Saturday last :
" The ascension took place at 35 minutes after three
o'clock, wind perfectly calm; so much so,, that during the
whole time of being elevated, which was one hour and five
termites, in the various changes of currents at different alti-
tudes, the balloon did not traverse more than 17 miles : the
wind at rising was N.N.E. the thermometer stood at 89. On
the car being set at liberty', owing to the stillness of the air,
it rose almost perpendicular to * great height, and from
thence slowly passed over the Castle hill; during this time I
alternately moved my hat and flag. In twelve minutes after
the ascension, the thermometer feil to 73; 1 here filled my
gla,s, drank to the Mayor and Corporation of the City, and
distinctly hears the loud cheering of the assembled multi-

.

tude. At five minutes to four, the balloon entered a second
eurtent, which carried me over Mousehold Heath. I here
distinctly beard shouts from persons collected near a house.
and calling to me to come down and take wine with theth.
I wrote a note and threw over, thanking them for their invi-
tation, and informing them I intended descending near. Per-
ceiving from the direction I now took, that the high ground
about Mousehold Heath would prevent my being much lon-
ger in view to the inhabitants of Not wich, I de ermined oa
elevating the machine; accordingly threw out a quantity of
ballast, when rapidly ascending, I entered a third current to
the N.N.W. which carded me over the Sprowston road, to-
wards St. Faith's. From this variev of currents, of ditfelent
heights, I was enabled not only to remain in view to the per-
sons on the spot from whence I ascended, but also to gratify
many thousands collected on the different eminences, hun-
dreds of whom, from every direction, followed the apparent
coutse of the balloon, both horse and foot; I therefore de-
termined on desending amongst my numerous followers, that
they might witness the descent, a novelty often wished but
seldom performed, the velocity of the wind in general pre-
venting the possibility of it."
At half-past four o'clock it descended in a field adjoining
to Sprowston-Hall, about three miles from the city, after
having passed over the broadest pat t of it.

PARIS. AIN ,27,—FaithInl to the principle of Alliance firmed

man, who again usurping the sovereign authority in France, revived
all the evils which war carries along in its train.—His Royal High.

SAMUEL BIRCH, Mayor.

FUNERAL OF F.LIZA FENNING.
The last ceremony respecting this unfortunate malefretor took
place on Monday afternoon. The procession began to move from
the home in Eagle-street, about halt' past three o'clock. It was
preceded by about a dozen peace officers ; next came the under-
taker, immediately followed by the hotly of the deceast'd. The
pall was supported by six young females dre-sed it) ss lii!e ; then
followed eight persons as mourners, led by Cie pat 4-.. ts of the
unfortunate girl.--These were succeeded by several lo 'laced per-
sons, two and two; and the whole was closed by a posse peace
officers. The whole proceeded in the most regular mann, 1,
until jt
reached the burying ground of St. George the Martyr, sln le the
body was deposited. The number of persons assembled to and
about the church yard could not be much less 10,000. Not the
slightest accident occurred. A young man, a livery servant in the
mob, who had spoken disrepecifidly of the deceased, was rather
roughly handled by the populace. The house of Mr. Turner, in Chan.
eery Lane, her late master, has since our last been continually bent
by assemblages of the lower orders, who consider her to have been
innocent, and it is only by tle rigorous interposition of the police,
that disorders have been prevented.

ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCES.

A most. mtt ANCHOLV ACCMENT.—On Tuesday evening Mr. Byrne,
• respectable tradesman residing in Green-Street. Leicesrer-square, went
out about six o'clock with his wife and child in a one-horse chaise, in-
tending to take an airing round Putney and Fulham, and to return
again in the evening; but after he passed over Putney-Bridge, the
horse startled at some object, and ran off in a most furh.us manner. Mr.
B. attempted to stop him in vain, but unfortunately the reins broke, and
he then became quite unmanageable. The consequence %sat., that the
whole family were thrown out with such violence, that Mr. B. only sur-
vived the shock until Wednesday morning, when he expired. His %life
and child providentially escaped with only some slight bruises, but ti cy
are inconaulcable for his loss. _ _

A few days since, as T. Goodlake, Esq. of Benham, near Wantage,
Berke, was travelling from his seat to the latter place, his gig was unit r-
tunately overturned, by which accidant his thigh was br iken, and he
was otherwise an much bruised, that we are sorry to say but fang hopes
are entertained of his recovery.
A melancholy, and we fear a fatal accident, happened at Halifax, um
Tuesday night last Lr consequence of an intimation communicated by
an anonymous letter, Mr. John Hodgson, the owner of tho Four Milk
at that place. determined to watch the mills on Monday night. and for
that purpose engaged Mr. Win. Cartmeal, the deputy constable aul
John Brearley, the beanie of Halifax, to assist him in that duty.
Some time after midnight, the persons stationed in the mill heard oce
of the doors unlocked, and bad reason to suppose that rubbers were
employed in filling their sucks; but owing to a %ant of attention fc
the proposed signal, the depredators were sufhered to escape without
detection, and %%Wino even being aware that any body but thembel‘f
were in the mill. On the billowing night, Carttneal, Brearlty, at.mt
two of Mr. Hodgson's Men, were again tutioued in the trill; die t%L.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR JULY.

The Wheat harvest in the eastern district, has commenced much
earlier than has been recollected for many years past, and with a pros-
pect of a large average crop; the ear is found generally full set to teh
end, which, for many seasons past, has not been the case; the produce
is expected to prove abundant, more from this, than from the appear-
ance of straw, which, in many parts, is light on the ground. Samples
of new wheat have already been shewn at Mark lane, the quality of
which was deemed tine. The Barleys are likely to turn out a full
crop, and so are Beans end Pease. Oats arc thin on light lands, but
in the Fens. should the weather continue fine, will probably give as
large a produce ■s ever was known from those low lands. The Rye
crop has proved but a light one. Potatoes have fallen off considerably
on light soils from the want of rain. Clovers shut out for seed, have
suffered from the same cause, except on nusist lands. Turi.ips, except
those early sown, have in musts districts planted partially, so that a
general crop is not to be looked for. Hops are going off even in the
Kent and Sussex grounds, where they promised fairly last month, the
honey dew increasing in them daily. En Worcester and Herefordshire
they do not look to pick one hundred weight per acre. The Cyder
.countries have no fruit. The meat markets are lower. Smithfield
has had a large supply of all kinds through the month. Live Stock,
both Sheep and cattle, are further reduced in price. Large droves of
Scotch and Irish beasts have been taken back, from the principal
fairs it, the midland countries unsold. The Noel markets continue
dull, at hist month's prices.
