The last mentioned of 'these. productions is a
fitting Sequel to the very able Letter by the saute
band,reviewediriNo..X...Julvls, of this.department
of our publication. The eiectunstanees which have
occurred 'singe its publication, the eleotion. of
Lord CoCHRANE, Ike debate in the Comthons on
Lord EBRINTOToN's Motion, and, Above all, DE
BEllENOciesConfession,renderit unnecessatyfor us.
to enter into a detailed examination of its contents.
The. delusion whiChlt was designed to expose has
been passing rapidly away, and there are few per-
sons now either so besotted or So, vicious as to
stand up for the purity of any of the Gang of Con-
spirators. • The Pamphlet is very spiritedly and
sensibly written_ A perusal of it, in addition to
its prci-:ursor, will confirm those in the correct-
ness of their judgnient who have never - doubted
-of the infamy and glint of this ahandonod Set ; it
Will remove the doubts of the more -undetermined ;
and it will puzzle the patriotic NVesttninster Elect
tors, who stilt attempt to brazen out the inno-
cency of their Representative. At' page 15 the
Writer hints at anterior transactions., which seem
to be partly developed by tilt' Secret Memoirs, &c.
our first head in the present Notice.
These Secret Memoirs,- however, we approach
with considerable awe, and our. Readers will ex-
cuse us from making extracts, when we tell them.
that they directly accuse the whole Coc RAN Fa-
mily, therein named, of the grossest crimes.and
misdemeanours. Yet even this qualiKcation is
not all that they .possess to recommend them to
the lovers of that species of composition 'which
may be termed honest wholesale, unequivocal
libel. There is scarcely a person men'ioned who
(toes not come-in for a decent quantum of repro-
bation, and many on the charges. brought for-
ward of, a heinous and appalling nature, not only
against the CoCIIRANE's, but against sundry other
persOns, of much higher and fairer characters.---
We confess, at the same time, that there are some
of these accusations so strongly supported by par-;
ticidar. statements, that they carry with them
considerable' weight, and certainly demand refu-
tation if false, and inquiry if true. The Author
• was, it seems, a Navy and Prize Agent,in Tortola,
tt Justice of the Peace., and in that station of life
which gave 'him access tri the knowledge of such
matters. as he records. . His inveteracy against the
who're Family in question is, however, as con
spicuous as aoy other of hiS motives for appealing
to the Public—eve only wish, that what has ap=
. - _

Neared to. countenance -his accusations against
those at home, had not given so much the colour
of probability and truth to his accusations against
those abroad. As the subject, however, has been
brought. under the cognizance of GoVernMenr,
and. aS Admiral COCHRANE and his
.son, Captain
Sir THomils' JOHN COCHRANE, cannot, foi• some
time, have an opportunity of defending their cha-
racterS,' thus vitally assailed, we shall, at least,
suspend our. jUdgnient -upon their cases till .deter-
mined before a proper legal Tribunal, which, in
our opinion, they must be in cousevence of this
pUblieation.

JOURNAL OF A TRIP TO PARIS.

(No. XXII.)
• Parrs, Friday, 29th.

The news of the day at Paris is infinitely more
various and uncertain than in London. The news-
paper system in-the latter place has created a kind
of vortex, into which almost all that .happens.,
events of
,great and of little moan eft, the fate of
Empires, or of Hackney. Coachmen's limbs, is
sooner or later poured. The Parisian Papers are
..z.ot so much on the alert for every species of in=
telligenee; hitherto they have barely cooimoui-
cated what was set down for them, neither daring
to extenuate, nor .say aught in malice. There will,
however, probably be more of the spirit of compe-
tition scion, which, favoured by a less restricted
administration of that. poition of the jurisprudence
which overlook s'the Press, %till mature the Journals
into vehicles of better and more general information.
I am led to these remarks by the striking number
and inconsistency of the idle rumours which' pre-
vail here from day to day—one absUrd and incre-
dible story only yielding to another• of equal, or
superior pretensions. That which lam about to
state, rests, however, on something like more an 7
.thentic grounds 'than Most of those current in this
metropolis. Indeed .1 might say I'had it from
'undoubted authority, but that I doubt every
thing I hear in Paris,. and: especially touching
UQNAPAICTE and his Family. You will neverthe-
less attach what credit you think fit to my grand
pensee, with the proviso just given, that from the
channel through which I derived it, I should at any
'time before I became so sceptical have been firmly
persuaded of its truth...
we used to say in England, that his little Ma-
jesty of Rome was' not thr offspring of lIVONA
4ARTE and MARIA LOUISA.. Persons having access
•to the best information here positively affirm, that
he is. not the Son of MARIA LOUISA but what is
more singular still is, that. the deception, is said to
irate been so adroitly practised as to deceive the

to
be ,as_ follow; D • the cel4rated
Accoucheur, Who vas in attendande upon. MARIA.
LOUISA, :Wilt spoken to by BUONAPARTE in a
way to prepare him for the birth in whatever way
it might take place ; and he was required to
give at least a few hours previous notie2 of the ex-
peeted period. The EmpteSs became alarmingly
and it was soon obrions that it would be a
difficult task to save the.lives of both Mother and
Child. This was intimated to ItUONAPAIZTE by Mr.
D , and he was directed to attend to the
wellar,e of the Mother in preference to any othek •
object. In due time the Empress was deliveved
of a dead Daughter, and, in a few hours after, a
fine Boy was put into her arms as the fruit of
her snffering-s. This wes the Son of the Duchess
of MONTEBELLO., but whether, to her Husband or
to BUONAPARTE, puzzles the Parisian Philoso-
phers. It is further said, that this fact has
been circumstantially brought under the con-
sideration of all the great Crowned Heads,
and tl.at the Emperor FRANCIS alone Withholds
his belief that the proof which supports it is suf-
ficient. 'Be that
,as it may, he has been closeted
'with Mr. D .. .1-or more than an 'hour at a
time ; and it is a well-known fact, that BUONA-
PARTE never sheaved a Father's fondness for his,
hopeful Heir ; though, perhaps,, this might be ac-
counted for on other grounds, as well as the mo-
ross and gloomy nature of this inhuman Mon-
-1 shall not trouble you with any fur-
ther details of. this matter, in which, if. there is
any truth, it will probably be brought on the
tapis at the approaching Congress, which is to
settle everything.

Victual interests aught -suffer, ha tilde

Ways yield to the, geneol, good.
M. Chabkind-Latour thought the -krench ' 0.66-
pie worthy of the liberty of the Press, and
quently repelled the chimerical fears which hail
been cogured tip in opposition to a right conse-
crated -by the tonstitittion 'and the will of the
King.—[This appears to have been a very able
Speech.]
M. Faget de Baure, i❑ a judicious oration,sup-
iioiled the other side; He laid doWn the propo-'
sition that Society 11.21 d the right of punishing
crimes by the lawsior tit preventing their commis-
sion by regulations. The latter, he argued, was
the most wise; and, in this pbint of view, he was
in favour of the restraint of the censorship.
M. Demortreux, M. Laharyi and M. Souques
then addressed the Assembly pro et con ; the !titter
remarking that " little light led to error, and
great light to,. truth."-7-After which the Sitting
adjourned.
