THE NATIONAL GUARD OF AtititN S

TO ALL TIfE
NATIOSTAL GUARDS OF THE liINGDONi.

" At atnoment when Buonaparte, putting in operatibn all
that remains to him of fantastic means, wishes by an arbitrary
and despotic act to compel us to take the most infamous part
that ever was heard of, and to support an usurped throne, we
take our honout, the country, and the King to witness, that
no one shall ever be able to make us arm in defence of a man
whom hell in its wroth hath vomited front iis gulphs. •

lire are, it is said,. menaced by an inval.ion of enemies—
No, they are our friends: they-e.me to restore to France its
legitimate Sovereign, of whom the tre:'.soi; of the army has
deprived it.

Who was it that recalled Buonaparte to France ? Who
Were they who betrayed their King in order tO place oh the
throne this i.,lle.proscript ? It Svas the army, Well, ttien let
the army defend him; such are the sentiments of ,the IS'a-
tional Guard: Buonaparte says that the Banrboni are bring-
ing foreigners into France. What 'if he had not came to.
defile our soil, we should stilt have been at peace with alt
Europe.
6' Selmstiapi is coming to make us take up arms. We all,
swear that if thiS satellite of Buonaparte enter our wails with
pro-consular poWers, and with the design to organise so de-
grading a measure, lie shall there find the chastisement due
to his crimes ; and woe to the traitors who shall dare to se-
cond his infamoui projects !
" The rallying cry of the National Guards is, " Live the
King ! Live the Bourbons ! Death to the tyrant, and the bri-
gands who have supported him in his criminal enterprise !"
" Frenchmen, the day approaches when you will see float-
ing on all your towers the White Fiag, the flag without stain,
the symbol of bappinesS.

."
LIVE THE KING!"

THE NEW POST OFFICE.

At length the Report of the Select Committe€
upon this matter, so important not only to the
Metropolis but to the whole Commercial \Vorld,
has been laid before Parliament. There perhaps
never was a Report More honourable to a Public
Establishmqnt thanthe present: it confirms to the
utmost every statement which has been produced
to show the expediency, we might say the neces-
sity, of the proposed removal of this adicirably
matiliged branch of the Revenue, not only for the
further benefit of the Finance of the Country,
but for the great advantage of business, and, the
general accommodation of the Public. The fol-
lowing paragraphs (page 9 of the Report) may.
be considered as decisive of 'the nature of th'e pro-
jected alterations; the plan appears to be most
eligible and excellent, and must meet with uni-
versal approbation :
c€ Attaching- reat_importance to the convenience of the
Foreign Merchants, the Committee ccolicl not h.o-e r,•ccon
mended. the removal of the Post-Office in a greater distance
from the seat of their business, if all their reasonable
than., had not been obviated bv the !tan •c4f aSoktsitti.rry
Office in Lombard-street or its immediate vicinity.
" The intersects of the Foreign Merchants being thus pro-
vided for, and the expense of rebuilding a ne,%v Office on the
Present Site in Lombard-stteet appearinc, to be greater than
that of erecting one on the proposed scale in St. Martin's- le-
Grand, the Committee arc disposed to approve thi, removal,
for the more generat convenience of the Metropolis."

THE DUKE OF ggIVORD.

. . . . . .
"-It is bOtied and be' lieVed that the, rumonr of the
Duke of BEDFORD'S murder, as sated in the French
papers, has, pioceeded-trom a misconception and
mistranSlatiOn ccf the Italian word .a.ssassinizire, or
assassinato, which inthatlatignage (.1;oes not mean
murdered, but only stopped, :or robbed. , The pro-
bability is, that the Gens (rartnes would be mur-
dered by-the Banditti vvho attacked his Grace, as
Gens ,d'armes and robbers byprofesSion never
spare each other ; but that his• Grace would be
Wondered, and his person remain uninjured.--
Agreeably to this interpretation, an Aide-de-
Camp of muRAT's is Sitidl to have readied
‘thia
o cuntit, who reports, ,that before his departure
from Italy, he conversed wi h another Aide-kle-
.
Caulp, who actually saw the attack from tile top
of an adjoining hill, but was unable to. afford
firnelu assistance '; but tifterwards, saw the Duke
proceediq; vii his way to Naples. The
four Gens (rarities and two postillions were killed.''
—(Times.) .
" We have the most satisfaction in stat-
ing, that a Gentle Man is arrived in triwn from
Italy, who saw an Aide-,de,-Camp of the King of
NAPLES at Bologna on the 12th April, and re-
ceived from him the asstirattce that the Duke was
of BEnFoBn was unhurt in the ar..,ick matte on his
equipage by banditti. The Officer wits with
his Grace at the time, and neith..r of them were
wounded. Solite of his servants were hurt,- and
two oldie postillions killed, as well as the escort.
This was communicated to the Alarqui3 of TA-
Yisrocx yeverday by an ll,;tiourable- Baronet,
who received the information. The Duke-pro-
ceeded, after the dangerous ioterruption, to.
Naples, where he at rived in safety."--(Chronic/e.)

THE THEATRE.—Mr. KEMIILE, last night, at-
tracted a very numerous audience to his C.urioia-

The' LITEEARY FeND is- one (4 those. laudable
and benevolent establishments of the British Me-
tropolis which astonishes a foreigner, and ho-
nours the country.. In England alone are the
sick-----the infant—the aged—and the distressed
assisted by public charities ;--supported by pub-
lie funds, and protected and cherished by ti.e un-
known stranger. Humanity and 'liberality- are
the digni:ied and_proud features of Englishmen.
Though often reproached by- the envious
_fo-
reigner, as a mercenary and money-getting peo-
ple, they are complete spendthrifts in benevo-
lence,- and active in works of charity. Here only
is to he seen enntiation between the Nubility and
Gentry in being first on' the lists of humanity ;
and in contending for pre-eminence in the stip-
pf!rt Of public institutions. His Royal Highness
the Duke of KE:IT has often been seen on such
; and has frequently advocated, the
cause of- his nutortunat'e countrymen: On the
fourth of May he is to preside at-the Annirersnry
Meeting of the Literary Fund : and as he' will be-
supported by several distinguished Noblemen and
Gentlemen, it is exoected that sonic effective
measures will ,he adopted in behalf of that truly
laudable and usetul establishußnt. Had such au
institution been formed in the'days of CHAI'TER-
-I'olll that unfortunate youth might haVe been
saved : and were its principles and practices now
generally understood, many humane persons would
contribute to augment its present limited funds ;

RELATIONS WITH NAPLES.
Earl GREY said, t heir Lordships would recollect,'
' that a !ervdays ago, previous to. his giving notice
of a motion on the subject of our existing rela-
tions with , the. Governnient of Naples,. and On
which the Lordsstood summoned for to-Morrow,
Le had, put some questions to a Noble Lord. To
these; his not receiving a'satisfactory answer, was
the Cause Of his having given notice of a motion,
Previous to his bringing it-on, however, lie ht.ggetl
feave to ask that Noble:. Lord, ‘vhether he now
deemed it consistent With his duty to give certain
eliplatiatiOnson the subject ; and, in that view, he,
would trouble him but on two points. First,
Whether we were actually at war wilt Naples
.
and if So, whether, as was customary, any com-
munication would be made to Pailiament on the
subject And secondly, if we were not at war,
whether any discussions Were now going forward,
or likely to take place between us and drat Go-
vernment, friim which it might be hoped that hos-
tilities may be avoided ? '
The Earl of LIVERPOOL, in answer to what fell
-frotir the Noble Earl, stated,, that their Lot d-
Ships may be aware an armistice had been con-
cluded between Marshal Murat and the Com-
mander in Chief of. his Majesty's forces in that
quarter. With reference to this, a notice.
,bad
been given by the latter to Marshal Murat, that
if he should coriritit !.ny hostile acts against his
Majesty's Ally, he should consider it as a breach
.of the armistice between the two countries. Whe-
ther any hostile steps had occurred between- the
British and the Neapolitan forces he could no
say ; but from what had taken place on the part
of the latter, the armistice was considered to be
at an end. With- respect to the second point,
whether there were any discussions going on be-
tween the two Countries for the establishment of
peace, he cool(' not, say therewere any rie;!ocia"
tions going on at the present that could' render the

_ .
notice of the Noble Lord nugatory. •
Gn.a.Y relrlied, that he understood from the
Noble ',Ord that hostilities were now actually

vived between the two countries. But their Lord=

ships Ivould ii.'coliect, that we had been in effect

at peace' with I)►e Government of Naples,foe the
last twelve n►unths ; and that, from the statement

of the Niible Lord, the necessity followed of a

regular dechration that a state of hostility wat
renewed. Ile thought therefore rhat a Gontninni-
,
ca(ion should be made to Parliament on the sub-

jcct ; and or, which ocedsion; ;lisuLy,,,ion on the
merits 61 the case ‘vould prefevalily
agaju asked if anv such commuujeatiou was

tended?
The'R.i.i of lavEiirobi. had not received any
command to wake such a COlMllllttkiitioft.

Earl GUI; Y then 'asked, were it probable that
such a-communication wotdd be male ? and (alter

a trord or two'from the Noble Earl act•uss the.

table, in an under• voice,) proceeded to observe,
it ap.pcured very extraordinary to 'him, that no
communication should be made. to. Parliaame►►t, in
a case, where though Ito for►nal neace had been
made; a state ot• hostility was avowedly entered
into.
