We have French Papers of the 26th, but their
contents are singularly unimportant. The only
great and graiifying fact which they announce is,
that the French Funds continue to fall rapidly.—
In spite of the general enthusiasm of France, in
spite of the New Constitution, and even in spite
of the promised Champ-de7Mai, the 'five per cents.
experienced .on the 25th a further decline of 11
per cent. They were on that day 6*, and' the
Bank Actions 750, 755, 760.

Brussels Papers to the 27th, and Frankfort to
the 23d,_ have arrived, but they were completely
.alitiCipated by, the Vienna Journals, the contents
or which appeared, exclusively, in THE SUN of
Tuesday and subsequent days.

Ike have it from the best authority, that the
.force 'of British and Ilanoverians, under LOrd
HILL alone, amounts to 26,000 men, in as fine
order as ever appearud in the field, of battle. We
can also, from unquestionable sources of informa-
tion, confirm the report of the numerous deser-
tions front the Bebe! ranks. These desertions are
even .more considerable than has been stated, for
besides those who come over to the Royal side, there
are many more who,,retire to their families and
homes. The example of Dunkirk, where a gar-
rison of 400 men in a few days diminibbed
one half, is by no means singular in. this respect,
and, the consequence is that mistrust and appre-
hension distract thelrobps Which still remain; and
paralyze the hearts of their masters.

Private accounts describe BUONAPAriTE StS un-
able to continue long on horseback.. A Gentle-

man who arrived in' town' yesterday from Paris,
saw hint lifted on his horse by four soldiers, and
he was obliged in a very short time afterward' to
dismount with similar assistance_ It has been

said that this arose from a rupture in the groin ;
but it is more evidently the result of unhealthy
,
obe6ity.

_
Lord CASTLEREAGH, as a public speaker, though

energetic and full of matter, is not to be compared
with tire immortal PITT, who melted the thunders
of DEMOiTHENES into the music of Tuus. And

yet not even the most brilliant of the orations of
the departed Patriot:ever -extorted more aninrat-ing
applause, than the reply of.the NOhle Secretary to
the.looSe; disjointed, and anti-British harangue,
with which the great question on the State
of the Nation was so inadequately opened.—
Armed Nvith the strong facts of his case, find the
strong feelings' of. the public, he seemed a Jove,
with a thunderbolt in each hand, to concound the.
Ojipnsition Titans in their attempt to clamber to
their visioned heaven---:-tho. Treasury Bench. It
was the victory of truth; justice, and honour,
over the unnatural pretences of delusion seeking
to destroy our native Country, of philanthropy
palliating only the conduct ottnemics, and of folly
misrepresenting the clearest dictates of political
wisdom and common sense.

The numbers on a division were 273 to. 72—
majority, 20l ; and it appeared from an eloquent-
speech from Mr. W;ELLtoT, which we regret our
limits have compelled us mount, that the. GREN
VILLE part of the Opposition differ •from their
friends on the momentous question of Peace
or Via r,
It is oltvions from the warlike -te'nour of Lord
CASTLEREAGH'S obs6-vations, that the-} ate'. alter-
n►ttive .has been decided upon—and, we will at-
fir►n, with the almost unanimous concurrence of
time British Nation.

It is One of the fallacies of the Talents to in-
duce a belief that they are the Representatives of
those who wish for Peace. This is no abstract
question ; if it were, then the answer would be,
that the wish for Peace is universal. But it /is a
question of peace, resting upon the security of
BooNArAnTp, and his traitor associates, and upon
sueh a guarantee there N not one man in a
thousand, either in Great Britain or upon the Con•••
tinent of Europe, who would accept the pledge.
The ayes of mankind might be collected in favour
of Peace ; in favour of those blessings which were
dawning on the human race • till these Demons
came to obscure the horizon—but the noes would
be as universal against relying on the professions
of perjured Rebels for the enjoymeneof this best
of -the gifts of Heaven.
