it continiies to be asserted in Austria, that a con-

and that this conditifw was agreed upon before-

done.

madness ; so that there i 3 little probability of his
governiimit being, firmly ro(Aed, The people
theniselve are like a wild untained horse, who only
await:a skilful rider to mount and conduct them.
Though torn by parties, yet the instinct which
writes them is still stronger than party-hatred.
The hurthens imposed upon them, though 'ex-

tremely vcrcations to their vanity, strengthen
daily the spirit Mi.. resistance. Then there is the
army which, tisoi,gl► dejected, is not dissolved,
and which ' has placed Davonst at his head, till
they find a better leader, whose happier Star; as
they, think, may lead them on to glory. This
army had in appearance subrßitted to the King,
but really served him in no respect whatever.—
In the provinces occupied by the Allies, the
National Guards were not disarmed, and in
Lorraine and Alsace the bands of partisans were

increased by the deserters from the army. Hence
li the Jacobins looked forward to republican Vend6es
in the Pyrennees, the Vosges, the Cevennes, and
the Alps. Amidst all' this, the real .effective
strength of the Government was in the hands
of the Bnonapartists, at the head of whom was
POuche., The writer then proceeds, to express
his opinion, that all this would be of little cpnse-
quence, provided the Allies were chiefly anxious
about the occupation of the fortressu; which would
furnish a security against possible consequences,
and afford much more real strength than the most
active measures of police. The Prussian., he as-
,
sects, had laboured much to attain this object,
though they had been counteracted by the efforts
of diplomacy, and hence, truces- had been con-
cluded with many fortified places, merely that all
the military stores might be preserved. Wish
this view alone, the white flag been hoisted
in many places; and even yet the fortress of Hun-
ingc-.1 presented the extraordinary spectacle of a
Commandant holding out against all the Allies
Ixvith'the King, and from time to time firing upon
the unoirending town of Basle.

L()NDON.

TH UR S n4Y, d-lUG tTST 21, 1825.

There are no French Papers to-day, but in
their absence we are happy •to be enabled to lay
before our Readers several Communications from
the Continent, which are of unusual importance
in deve!oping its political situation—a situation
more pregnant with good or evil to the world,
and more worthy of general consideration, than
has ever been presented even in the critical war-
like contests on which we have hung with such in-
.
tensity of interest-.

FRANCE.

We have recent private letters from Paris, which,
together with our other communications from. that
country, now reach us very tardily and irregularly
(excepting such correspondence ,as conics imme-
diately within.the influence of our own admirably-
conducted Post Office), in consequence of ,the in-
terruptions and restrictions to which the French
Mails are subject. The Military rost from Paris
goes out only once a week, and we, not %mire-
qUently, receive, as we have done to-,day, the cOr-
respontlence of nearly a Whole week together.—
From this arrival we can Only select a few notices,
which will, however, be found to poSsess great
interest, and to be, in every respect, of public

itiwort ance.

'lt is mentioned in a letter of the 17th that King
Josgru has been taken, and, most characteristi-
cally;h in a cellar.. As-the report also adds that he
%vas wonalled by a bayonet, it is evidently the
same which has already reached ns, with the ex-
planation that the person so captured was MARET
and not the Bottle King. _ _

Another letter says=" The Army of the Loire
is still in great force, and although many other
fortresses have hoisted the %vhite flag, they are
still held by Frenchmen,. and wherever they arc, I
have little reliance on their With or oaths, and ‘vili
donht them. Ilritish troops continue to arrive,
and Montmartre is covered with them. There
are various reports of movements in the army, &c.
bat nothing is certainly fixed."

The following is strange and important intelli-
gence for the Editor of a London Newspaper to
receive from Paris ; it is; nevertheless, a part of
our Correspondence, and, from the rank and in-
formation of the writer, we hai:e no doubt of its
being well founded. It corroborates our worst
fears respecting _the disheartening state of our
East Indian Empire :
" hirty reg,iments are to he sent immediately
to 'lndia, which are to be made 1000 strong each,
by volunteering, which is to be permitted front
those regiments Which-are not ordered.—New re-
giments arc also to be raised for India service, but
whether in Britain or in India I have not heard."

_

" I have reason to believe that the intentions.
to Make a speedy movement_ among the troops
have been again deferred, owing probably to the
distracted state of Parties here, and to the vio-
lence too often publicly exhibited. Some soldiers
have been assassinated, as it is supposed,by the Pa-
risians. They were chiefly PruSsians, but several
British havc; also been murdered. British Officers
havebeen repeatedly assaulted, but in every instance
which has come to my knowledge, the citizens
had better have been quiet, for they suffered se-
verely fOr their insolent trmerity.
it might not be prudent in me to specify some
things of that description e. the assassinations)
Mat which I haVe been made acquainted : it ,is
said, however, that three Or four Prussian soldiers
are almost every evening found dead.,"

The expected Review on the. I 2 1i did not

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM BAREADOES, DATED

JULY 13.

We are all in a bustle here, fitting an expe-
dition against Guadalotipe, and expect that in
about a fortnight 6000 men will proceed from
hence. There are about 1100 * regulars at Goa-
daloupe, but it is stated that they are in want of
ammunition, which they expect in the
.Hernzione
frigate, from New York. It is, however, report-
ed, that an American pilot-boat has got into
Point-a-Pette, with GO barrels of poWder on
board. Sir JAMES LEITH is to conduct the expe-
dition, and, I believe, means to make .'a coup-de-
main of it, and. soon settle the busines. He will
carry white troops. Martinique is garrisoned, or
will be, with \Vest India regiments.—By an ar-
rival from the Saintes, I learn that.the soldiers at
Guadalotipe will lay down their arms if they- are
-guaranteed free from English prison. Sir CnAamts
SHIPLEY sailed last night in the Venerable, with
Proclamations. The White Flag was hoisted at
the Saintes ten ditys ago; it. is garrisoned by 400
of our troops. -Lisois sent BIANCI, a Corsican.,
express to France, in an American pilot,boat, on
the 4th inst. to crave reinforcements ; but we
expect here, and also at Martinique, that NAPO-
LEON will have been hurled' from his throne be-
fore he arrives, and look forward to a return of
peace. Under this impression -the planters at
Martinique hold filch produce for France."

1, Our letters yesterday, on the accuracy of which we can
depend, state the number at 1800.

Yesterday, at o►ie o'clock, a Cabinet Council
was held at the Foreign Office, which vas attelul-
ed by the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Earl of LIAR-
ROWBY, the Earl of WESTMORLAND, the Earl of
LIVERPOOL, tile Right Flon. N. VANSITTART,
Viscount SIDMOUTII, Earl BATHURST, Earl of
BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, and the Right Hon. W. W.
The Earl of HARROWBY came from Chel-
tenham, and Earl BATHURST from his seat in
Gloucestershire, to attend the Council. Viscount
MELVILLE was prevented from being present by
his being in -the Isle of Wight, and Earl MUL-
GRAVE was absent in consequence of his severe in-
disposition. The Cabinet sat till past three
o'clock, when Mr. CLOUD, the King's Messenger,
was ordered to hold himself in readi►ness to pro-
ceed with Dispatches to Viscount CASTLEREAGII
at Paris.

A Messenger arrived yesterday in Downing-
street from Paris, with dispatches from the Duke
of IVELLINGTON, containing the details of the

destruction of the Barracks in the Bois de Bou-
logne, occupied by the British and Hanoverian
troops. The damage was very extensive, and our
troops lost a great deal of their baggage. •

Government has received dispatcTies-frotp LoH
EXMOUTH, dated from the Bay of Naples, 9th
July. We understand they contain an account of
the distribution and movement of the ships under
hist-minium-id on that station, and of tl►e proceed-
ings against the Algerines.
Yesterday morning the Duke of YORK trans-
actel military huAness with his Secretary at York
House : afterwards his Royal Highness walked
,to Carlton House to attend his Royal Brother,
the ItaGENT, and from thence he walked to his
(Mice in the Horse Guards, where be remained
some time.

The Busts of WELLINGTON, BLUCHER, and
PLATOFF, by TunNERELLI, were deposited irr
Carlton atiuse of Friday. Mr. T. exhibited to
his Royal Highness his small marble statue of the
KIN, lately finished - for the Duke of NEW-
CASTLE. Tire PRINCE expressed his approbation,
and thought it a most perfect likeness.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
-Bast India House, when Major-General Sir HUD-
SON Lowe, K. C. B. was appointed
.Governor of
the Island of St. Ilelena.-1t does not appear,
therefore, that there was any truth in the asser-
tion which reached the Morning Chronicle so won-_
derfully from the Mediterranean,. that Sir-HuDsotsr
hzlil refused this appointment •
Mr. Sant has been appointed his Majesty's

The Scalby Castle, Capt. HARRIS, sailed from
Amboyna for China about the 19th of January.
By tl►e Admiral Griffiths, there are letters and
papers. from Buenos Ayres, to 29th May tilt.,
which mention t!-.e entry of the independent army
of the latter into • Potosi. This army is com-
manded by General RONDEAU, who, it ,seems,.
obliged PEzont.A„commanding the Spanish forces
in that q:;liter, to fly precipitately towards El
Desagnadero, leaving behind `aim all his artillery,
tiaggage, and military stones, which .fell into the
ha►ids of the Buenos-Ayrists iii the important
Point of Santiago de Cotagaita. The indepen-
dents of La Paz, Cochabamba, and Cusco, were
previously posted in El Desaguadero, and as this
is the main point of regress to Linia, it is possible
that PEZUELA'S retreat and supplies of provisions
will. have been cut off.

In the Buenos Ayres Gazettes is a dispatch of
ARTI GAS to the Supreme Government of
that place, in which, in his own name, as well as
that of his troops,
he protests his entire subtuis •
sion and fidelity to the same, and expressing the
firm resolution of all ;o die for Ott liberty and in-
dependence of the country. fn the same Gazette's
is also seen a Proclamation of the Municipality of
Buenos Ayres to the inhabitants, exini:ling thein
to give donations for the increase of forces,. as
%veil sea as land, which was carrying
in order to oppose any expedition that 'night
come out from Spain. .
