aCts
4.(4/1 the French Papers, the arrival and
c'rdes
of which we yesterday correctly stated,
to 't will he seen they are' only one day later than
we bail previously received, and very Itim-
i,ortant. The most prominent article is, a decree
tued by BooxApArtTE last 'Saturday, for placing
nii4etivitv the' Cov.rd of Paris. When
recalls .to memory the feats of the renowned
i4:°(ly under this ,name during the Revolution, it
scarcely possible to look upon its re-or-
t atlon, without expecting that in the pre-
tile troubled times, it. will act a conspicu-
" part. Thirty-five tflozisand armed citi-
-4e:lS' even in rranee, are dat-q,--zrous tools for
of Yrant to play with. To each arondissement
,ti;f the capital is devUted a Legion of 2500 men,
'vide(' into four ba,italions, with each five coin-
-11414!•!1 Of 125 men:: the whole to be under the
(/Itritsnd of BUCSNAPARTE, who (we suspect tram
itll's) is noi inclined, so long as he can hel it, to
''''dvti) .41.4 in order to try- p y
again the fate of star one

the frontier. The defence of the extremities he
for the pres'entleaves to his Lieutenants, while he
endeavours to take care of himself, and fortify
the, heart. Yet in the midst of his peril and
dis May he adheres to all his assumed titles, and
we'bave in this Decree the whimsical example
of an. Usurper stiling himself the Protector of the
Confederation of the Rhine, while calling out her
citizens to protect Paris ; Mediator of the Swiss
Confederation, when he is incapable of mediating a
peace to save his own carcase; and king of ITALY,
when there are four hundred thousand Invaders
with arms in.their bands, advancing against him
on French ground ! What would our Chronicle-
gentry say'to such a Proclamation, addressed to

the Trained Bands of. London and Westminster
Volunteers ? How would these admirers-of Buo-
NAPARTE like to be thus -called out, the old and the
young, the healthy 'and the infirm, the strong
and the weak;----all to serve under the eye of
their great Chief, unless their nearest •relative
should be contented to
.offer a personal sacrifice
for their redemption-7-a son for a father, or a
brother for a brother ? No substitutes allowed—
because those wit.) might be procured as substi-
tutes will 'all be wanted on their own account ;
the necessitis of the Tyrant can dispense with
no idle hands.

A. letter from Vesoul," prepres us for the fall
of Finningen and Bifort. The fogs have greatly
facilitated the advancement of the ,Siege carried
on against the former, and a heavy complaint is
brought for the use of CONGREVE RoCkets in the
bombardment. The,French Chemists arc invok7
ed to invent (if they can) siinitar engines, so that
the generous Enciny may " fight on equal terms,"
since we no loner live in .such chivalrous times
as those described by Hudibras, whet'

The law of arms did bar
The use of renom'd shot, in war.

In truth CONGREVCS Rockets, in effect upon the
spirits of the Corsican's adherents, seem to re-
semW the Cossacks—there is no resisting such
barbarous expedients. They are,y however, dread-
ful in execution, and almost deserve the descrip-
tion, of them given by General WITGENSTEIN,
when asked his opinion of their merits, after the
battle of Leipsick—‘."They look (he replied) as
if they were made in Hell, and. surely are the
Devil's own artillery."

The French funds sink lower every day.

In.our last Page we bare inserted the remain=
der of the Paris Papers received -on Tuesday.—
There is anothe-r lung disquisition, in which- the
policy of France and. England is expounded and
contrasted, but Iva no great skill. The argu-
ment is altogether inconsistent. In one part
England is pourtrayed as. a' very weak power ; in
another, where it better suits the hypothesis, as
the strongest in the world, Her Empire is here
spoken of as one which any effort would suffice lo
break ; there, as the bulwark of the Universe, en-
riched and augmented in force by the spoils of all
other nations. The picture, as might be supposed,
is drawn with all the partiality of a partizan.—
France is figured as the most frank, generous,
unambitious State in the world ; England as tht
most crafty, designing, and perfidious of all na-,
tions. We are told'that " she is rather dexterous
than strong;": that she is " weak in herelf and
little fotmidable ;" while, .on the .other -hand,
nature herself has made France powerful."—
What then becomes of the terror of England, With
which the writer would wish to inspire the con-
tinental Powers ? They can have nothing to fear
from a weak and little formidable country; but
they have• every thing to dread from a, country
such as he assures us France is, " made powerful
by nature." Thus One side of the reasoning com-
pletely stultifies the other, and the agent of the
cors-ican himself shews us good grounds for the pre
ference which tlie European Powers must feel even
fur British preponderancy in contradistinction to
French preponderancy. Neither, in fact, are to be
desired; but were it brought to the dilemma, that
one. or other must of necessity exist, there can
,be no doubt, but that Russia, Prussia, Austria,
&c. would be less jealous of it in the hands of
Britain, a State which " seemed incapable of in-
vading their territory," or menacing their inde-
pendance, than in the hands of France, which
has demonstrated, to their Skit experience, that
she could do both.

Similar in accuracy to this blupdering mode of
ratiocination is the character attempted to be
attached to all the wars in which France
.
has been engaged. These, forsooth, ha,e been only
defensive—she has been " accused. of ambition,
while her efforts had no other object titan that of.
maintaining her independance, and insuring her
repose." Her very co quests have been forced up-
on herunde'r this defensive System. Spain, Por-
tugal, Holland, and the Hanse Towns, and the
German States on the left of the Rhine, and the
Pays de Vaud, and Venice, and Genoa, and Tus.

cany, -aild-Maples, and the estates of the.Chureli,
and the Milanese, aitd Flanders,' and Hanover,
and even•.lnssia and Prussia, &c. &c. &c. her mo-
derate and pAcific Rulers never desired to seii.e:
these trifling acquisitions Were' absolutely et
ermis
.annexed to unwilling and -contented Prince..
So very unambitious indeed has she been,.." that
even down to these. latter times, several
,ages of
Warp, as one may...say hereditary, have prcicured
her no: other advantage. than that of recovering
two or. three provinces, which were from the ,ear-,
liest times Integral parts of the Monarchy.",
--In these " latter times,'' thank Heaven, this
assertion approachesnearer the truth than- it could
have done at any period during, the last -fifteen
years ; but we. owe the obligation to the victories
of our Allies and our on exertions, and not to,
th4moderation. of France. These are the source
of the difference between 1812 and :1814, while
the situation of. the 'world in the former year
speaks volumes in' refutation of any false preten-
sions that the enemy can set up, either to mode-
ration or justice: The same view, too, will.
silence the aspersions thrown upon, Eng-
land. Glorious England, : which has protected
every State unable to save itself from the rapaeity-
of the French dominion.—England to which every
oppressed people fly.at once for succour—of this
England these must be felt to be' only lies and_
libels uttered by the base Adventurer, whose pro-
ject of universal despotism, she alone has defeated,.
"We see no wars which she has not inflamed, eii-'
.couraged, maintained ; no weak nation which has
been safe from her attacks; no pawer which she
has not agitated, deceived, betrayed by rendering
it the victim or the instrument of her ambitious
designs."

There are in these Papers, also, several pro-
ductions of the Parisian writers, to which •ire
prefixed dates from Switzerland, &c. They are
clumsy, and obviously false fabrications.

The snow fell on -Monday and Tuesday, night in
the, West of England to a greater depth than has
been known in that districrfar the fast forty pears ;
it being tWelve.feet deep :in the niiddlp of the road
on llalldown„ 'four miles beyond Exeter.. The
mails between Exeter, Falmouth, Shaftsbury,
and Tavistock, have been unable to proceed. '[hefall of snow in Wales has been nearly equal, and
the. Milford, Holyhead, Chester, and Shrewsbury
mails .have', been much impethid. The Glasgow
mail 'has not been able to reach Carlisle. ,

The Bremen Papers, contain the Pi eliminary
Treaty .between Gt•eat Britain an§Austria, signed
the 3d of October, by the Lad of ABERDEEN; and
Connt METTERNICH, by which the Emperor Of
AUSTRIA engages to employ all7his forces against
the common enemy, and the British Governuient
to support by every weans in its power his exer-,
tions, and both parties are pledged not to enter
into any separate negociation, or, to conclude any
peace, armistice, or convention; unless by mutual
consent.

Movements are said to have taken place in
Piedmont, in favour of the, ling of SARDINIA.
We have reason to believe,,tbat all the Members
of the Royal-House of France are ready and will-
ing to present themselves to the wishes • of their.
countrymen. That there should exist in any
quarter adoubt of the propriety of their so doing,
is tnost unaccountable.

Orders, we understand, have been, given for. all
the disposable troops of the line in the diffet ebt
depots of the United Kingdom, to hold them-
selves: in immediate readiness for embarkation,
They are to proceed to Holland and to the French
frontiers, to,reintorce Lord WELLINGTON", but the
greater proportion is supposed to' be intended for
the latter destination.

The whole of the regiment of Royal Horse
Guards (Blue) are under orders for service, and,
it is said, will join their gallant comrades at pre
sent with the Marquis of WELLINGTON.
