Geneemen—AVileitismganitt him benefit challenged any m tri
in the s °rid, the Fancy admired and praised him for his cow age;
but, whatever others might think, I flattered myself I had a
vo xl chance, and offered him my service's for 2001. ft-side. This
wa4 not accepted by Langan, because he said his father had
hurt his Lg. On his return from Ireland I again challenged
him, and after much difficulty, got him to put down Si. at Ran.
dall's, with an understanding that we should meet next night
and put down 20/. each more. This event did not take place, a
a dig pp tte arose about the person who should hold the stakes. On
tht.foltoving day we met at Mr.Egan's,and before him agreed to
meet on the 2fith, and either of us failing to make the money good
should forfeit the N. down, with N. more on honour ; but how
great was my surprise on the morning of the 26th to findMr.Lan.
gan, with all his bluster, was absent, and had got his own money,
with my Si. out of Mrs. Randall's hands long before the day
arrived. Since then he writes to London to say he will nut
fight until the latter end of November, although our agreement
was to fight in October. His motive for so doing ill becomes a
champion of either England or Ireland ; for as I am not a very
young man, ice minks, in his low cu ing way, to drive me
further into the winter ; but that shall be no obstacle, for
will fight him on the day he appoints and am ready to make
a match ; but before that can take place, let him have the
honesty to tend m 10/., or, if he has a just sense of honour,
151. That done, lam ready to stake 60/. within a fortnight, to
make the match ; but if I do not hear from him in that time, I
shall conclude he is afraid to fight, and shall take no further
?notice of his chaffing than of that of Jack Carter.

Extracts from the Mohan,. Papers) Sept. 15.

[NEW Times.]
An t %press arrived yesterday from Paris, an-
mouncing the long expected death of the King of
France. Although official intelligence of this
event had not been received at a late hour last
night, yekits truth was too generally credited,
and too consistent midi reasonable anticipation,
to admit of questionl and we shall accordingly
feel justified in treating it as an historical occur-
rence.—The life of this Monarch exhibited a
striking picture of the changes and. chances to
which sublunary affairs are liable. He was born
in 1755, a younger brother of the Prince who
afterwards expiated his virtues by the Guillo-
tine. Louis Stanislas Xavier was first saluted
by, the title of Count de Provence, but on
the accession of Louis XVI. to the Throne
is 1774, the former by ordinary Court Eti-
quette became known by the appellation
of Monsieur. Previously to this, in 1771,
be was married to Marie Josephine Louise
of Savoy, who died in England in 1810, and was
buried in Westminster Abbey. The early. part
of this Prince's life was devoted to literature,
and gave him that turn for study, and that pecu-
liar neatness of etpression, which were particu-
larly remarked In his after life. It has been re-
marked from his earliest connection with political
life, he always evinced a disposition towards the
melioration of the public institutions of his
country. It was not till after the horrible days
of the sth and 6th of October, 1789,, that be
shewed himself at all unfavourable to the cause
of reform. On the 20th of June, 1791, he tied
secretly from Paris, at the same time as Louis
XVI., but by a different and more fortunate
route. While his Royal Brother was led hack
from Varennes to prison and a scaffold, the Count
de Provence escaped to Coblentz, and with his
younger brother the Count d'Artois, put him-
self at the head of the Gentry of France who
emigrated to join his standard. We need not now
dwell' on the misfortunes of that illustrious army.
The atrocious murder of Louis X VI. by the Re.
volutionists in 1793 made Monsieur de jure Re-1
gent of the kingdom, as that of Louis XVII. in
1795 wade him King; and as Louis XVIII. lie
always perievered in dating his reign from the last
mentioned period. Many years, however, he passed
in an exile which to great part of the world ap-
peered hopeless. On the ruins of the French Mo-
up.chy arose, first a monstrous Republic, and then
a gigantic Empire,at the head of which was placed
a man before whom a servile world 'bowed, in
stupid admiration of his crimes and exaggerated
fear of his talents. Meanwhile Louis X VIII. was
driven for refuge from one extremity Of Europe to
another, until ho found a quiet and hospitable
shelter in the mansion of an English Nobleman.
Here be again dedicated a large portion of his
time to reading, and though no bigot, yet was lie
so conversant with the Scriptures that he has
been known in conversation at Harewell to quote
in Latin a whole chapter of the New Testament
which bore relation to the political state of his
country. At length' Europe awaking in her
strengh threw off the odious night-mare by which
she had been so long oppressed. Buonapate, the
heartless and unprincipled Despot, was hurled
from his usurped throne, and all eyes were turn-
ed toward Louis XVIII., whose joyful entry
into London on his way to re-assume his lawful
sceptre was indeed a spectacle of joy and de-
light. He returned to Paris ; but by an excessive
indulgence (in which he only shared the delu-
sion of the other Continental Sovereigns), he left
toe- many traitors in possession of power, which
they employed only to prepare a new Rebellion.
The old Usurper easily marched over the path
of treason to the Tuileries, and the King once
wore became au Exile. But this tune his "suffer-
ings were of short duration. The battle of Water.
100 again restored to France her lawful Soveieign,
and to Europe a peace which has since been but
partially disturbed. Louis XVIII., who in 1814
bad given his: subjects a Charter consecrating
many sound principles of liberty, wits still dis.
posed to administer that form of Government on
principles perhaps too liberal, and employed suc-
cessively Ministers, whose practice even outstrip-
ped those principles. The Revolutionists were
emboldened by this indulgence; they stirred up
insurrections throughout Europe : and it was not
till then that Louis X VIII. put time Government
into the hands of a Royalist Ministry, by whom
France has been at once led to success and to
prosperity...a-Even among the Royalists, however,
those who shared the King's chief confidence
were not the most vehement. His chief favour
Was bestowed on M. de Villele : and the re-
moval of M. de Chateaubriand was the-King's
own act. But by this time growing maladies
had gradually sapped his Majesty's consti-
tution': and he sank into the arms of death
by a slow and gradual decay of the vital film-
tiong. It could not, however, but be a gra-
tification to him to know, that, after swayitig the
sceptre of his ancestors for ten years, he left to a
beloved Brother his dominions its a state of un-
common tranquillity,
no Itynger torne by faction,
and fast recovering from the deep wounds of an
Impoverishing and demoralising Revolution.--
La itoi ass weurt jamais is a principle -of the
French Monarchy. Louis ceases to reign, and
Charles X. begins to reign at the same moment.
The latter too has adopted all the principles of
his Royal Brother, and has given his confidence
to the Ministers of his predecessor. The present
King 18 popular with the people and particularly
with the Army ; so that a transition, which a few
Yours ago was looked forward to with terrors of
the most alarming desrrii nion is likely now to
take place without evett a Momentary 'distur-
bance. Tho new Khtg
