We regret to see, in some of the public prints,
illiberal comments on Mrs. Swot)Ns, and hints that
it is time for her to leave the Stage. rely, as
there never was so great an Aaress before on the
Euglish,,nr, perhaps, on any other 'stage, and as it is
certain that she will shortly take her farewel of
public life, all persons, of liberal taste and feelings
would be rather anxious to prt,long her stay, than
to goad her, ibt order to precipitate her departure.
Her talents are still unimpaired, and her person has
been. little changed by time, except in point of size.
Hence every judicious Critic must on such a point
agree with CHURCIIILL

A duel was to have taken place yesterday at
Wimbledon Common, bet wecn two Gentlemen of
the names of Fielder and Colston, the latter of wkom
is an Artillery Officer, in consequence of a dis9nte
at a coffee-house. Information of the intended
meeting was .given to the Police, and whilst in the
a& of taking paces, they were apprehended, and
held in sureties to keep the peace.

A shocking accident happened on Tuesday even-
ing, to a respectabh: elderly woman, of the name
of Green, in Brompton-read. Mrs. Green bad
hired a coach to set her down at Hyde-park-corner,
a!id on another coach endeavouring to pass it, the
drivers both set elf their horses at speed, and the
coach which -Mrs. Green engaged was overturned by
the wheel getting against a large paving stone. The
consequence was Mrs. Green had her arm broke in
t ;No places, and was otherwise so much bruised,
that she lies in a very precarious state. The coach-

PREIVCH

FROM THE IDURNAL DE PARIS OF APRIL to.

If we take a view of the French Empire, we see
that it to-day offers a development of forces, per.
haps, unexampled. At the moment when near
500,000 men are marching from Hamburgh, the
Wesel, Mayence, Verona, Munich, Dresden, and
Berlin, to take a position upon the Oder and th 3
Vistula, whilst 50,000 men form camps of reserte
for the, protthion of th 9 coasts of France, Italy,
the kingdom of Naples, and the Illyrian provinces,
and that six armies, amounting to nearly 300,000
men, are in -the Peninsula, 50 battalions are in
March from difE-rent points, to replace, in Spain,
seven or eight regiments, which have been re=
•
called, and some detachments of the Lopetid
Guard, six thousand cavalry, have set out from the
derCis to reinforce that same army—and all this is
done without effort, without extraordinary means,
without blistle.

At the same time considerable fleets are equip.
ped and armed ; several vessels will, in the course
of the summer, be completed in Toulon; several
are constructing at Venice, one has been launched
at Genoa, many others are upon the stocks at Am-
sierhm, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Cherboufg, and
Rochefort.

The funds to be appropriated to ships, roads, ca-
nals, bridges, new basins, and dock-yards, are, as
we are assured, more considerable than those of last
year; the consstrudion of a new basin at the mouth
of the Loire is talked of ; the road from Hamburg/1
to Wesel will, this year, be finished ; thus a route
of more than 80 leagues, costing more than ten
millions, will have been finished in less than two
years. The road 'from Amsterdam to Antwerp
occupies three depots of workmen ; six of the
same are employed upon that which coasts the
Mediterranean, from Nice to Rome ; that f
Parma to Spezzia. The causeway from Bourde
to-Bayonne, across Les Landes, will he finished ills
season. Roads, which will cross the Berre in diffe-
rent dire&ions, are, it is said, in contemplation, and
the establishing of a direst communication with Sa-
ragossa, by travelling the Pyrennees, at a great num-
ber
of points.
The basin of Flushing will he completely finished
before the month of June ; thirty vessels, complete-
ly firmed, will be able to enter it, an advantage
which the old basin -did not possess, in which slips
could not enter without having their guns taken out.
This-year the Elbe has been sounded, and under-
stood.; that river possesses similar advaetages to
those possessed by the Scheldt ; it has fine harbours,
basins, and an arsenal for building will be establish-
ed there,, The works of the strong fortresses a.e
pursued with equal activity. Three fors have been
construeled at the Helder; forts Morlando, Do
gemmu, and Lasalle, are entirely completed, and
covered by inundations. Batteries defend the pa,-
sage of the Helder, and protest the squalron. A.
basin and a marine establishment have been decreed,
and will be commenced this year. Already world
three months' open trenches be'required+t take
the fielder, that key of the Zuiderzee and H01L,40d.,
