LONDON.
tiIESD,IY, JUNE 13, 1815.

We are this day favoured with the perusal of a.
letter from a Cavalry Officer of considerable rank
in our Artily on the Belgian Frontiers. It is dated.
. the ith inst. at which period nothing had trans-
pired respecting the intentions of the Noble
Commander in Chief; or any projected move-
ments on the part of the Allies. Au important
fact is however noticed. An Officer had just arrived
from the Austrian head-quarters at Heidelberg, with
the cheering intelligence that that Power had one
hundred and fifty-five thousand men in line, -ready
fur the commencement of active operatioas, iii the ,

tigtesi stake of anti turning with inis-
pittietire for the hour of battle.. This may indeed
be (Oa A ORANii Aprdy !

A vcr ei6elleiii trtitii King Fetmt t4Airo
of NAPLES to 1115 Stilijects. Contained in a' piC-
-eellingcolumn. %ire trust hisMaj,:sty;s acts
do himour to his protessioni; and his future
happy reign out-do.his promises. There is also
a very affecting Address from did King of SAX•
oftY_tai his ceded protinces—=qvt cannot help
feeling for his Majesty's sulferings, though they
are the fruits of his overt misconduct and mis-
chievous attachment to the Cause Of BIItirtAPARTE.

In another column we insert a briet report of
the discntsion of the Bth, in the French House of
/Representatives, to which.. we alluded In our ex-
-tracts from the Paris Journals yesterday. The
detestable sycophancy d, the parasite LEPELLE-
TIERi WAS rewarded even in the Assembly
where it was manifested, by an expression of
loud indignation. Yes, even the Deputies
elected. ueder the auspices of the Corsican,
were struck with astonishment at the baseness
of a wretch wbo woulA hail bins as The Saviour
• ,
of the- Couutry, at the very moment when his
guilty presence had delivered over one third of it
as a prey to the horrors of Civil NVar, and pro-
,
yoked the invasion of its miserable provinces by
the united Powers of Europe, indignant at his
perfidy, and determined to punish his crimes, at
the- head of a million of its willing population

Oh ! this was a time to insult France by styling
smelt a man its Snviour—rather to excite, it be.
possible, a deeper horm of the.Cttrse of France,
whose base flatterers,• dare thus draw the attention
of the Country to the u'isfortunes and misery he
has brought upon it, by the infamOus false!mod of
their gross adulation.

We observe from artissels Papers, that the
Emperors and-Empresses of RUSSIA and ALTSTRIA
were at Munich on the 29th and 31st
Austrian Sovereigns at Augsborgh on June Ist,
at Stntg-ard cut the 2d, whence they departed for
Augsburgh—the Emperor ALEXANDIE following
tire same route. These Potentates were every
where received with great magnificence and.de-
ministrations of popular admiration.
• Yesterday, at two o'clock, a. Cabinet Conneil.
was held at. the Foreign Olike,-which we under-
-stand.was summoned by Viscount CASTLEVEAGI-1
on Sunday evening. The Council motioned sit-
ting till near five o'clock. The Jt,InGE-Anvo-
CATE laid. before the PR;NCF. REGENT the proceed-
ings of some. Courts Martial, and took. his Royal
Highness's commands thereon.
King JOACI-1)M, in his tarewell Address, '.re-
commends to the people fidelity and Coofidence
his measures, anti pretends that he is. leaving his
kingdom for a short time only, and that it ill
return to it as soon as he has concerted with his
august brother-in'-law the means of detizering the
world !
it is again repeated, in the latest letters from
Brussels, that the forward movements of the Drike
of WELfasuTory will take place on the 13th inst.
and that he has a force under hint of 160,000 well
disciplined troops.
The private accounts received. from Paris yes-
terday state, that Mortal' had arrived there, and
was to be appointed Governor of the City, Lo-
CIEN BUONAPARTE, it was added, is to he appoint-
ed Regent during the absence of NApot:Eos trout
the Capital.—Another account says, " DAyousT
is to be the Governor-General of Paris, in the
absence of BUONAPANTE. The barbarity and ob-
Stinaey of this man, in his defence of Liamburgh,
are fresh in the memory of the public. BooNA-
PARTS, in leavjog his capital to his protections de-
parts satisfied that the Allies will never enter it
again bputro.leseeadli7tagsp nit!' i-;'
' o use of Representa-:
tiv•rh
ersien Paris, are described by the private ac-
counts as far- more tumultuous that, they appear
by the Journals to have been. In fact, they are
stated to be the exact counterpart of the stormy
sittings of the National Convention. The rnea-
Sures of the Police also begin to assume the clia
racter of those times. Domiciliary visits have been
effected iu all the lodging houses. The quiet part.
of the inhabitants tremble at the apprehension of
a revival of the former scenes of blood and horror.
A vast namber of emigrations have taken place
from this cause alone. Merchants, who can con-
veniently collect together their prope'rty,. or even
portion of it, leave France, some for Germany,
and others for 12',ngland, two or three persons
of that Jescription arrived in London yesterday
from France, bringing with them every freare they
could smite together; and seeking-an asylum in a
country of real security.
Last 'Tuesday two Prencli Officers, deserters
from'BoeNAPARTE army, named FoLAunett and
VALLAIRD, landed at Newhaven, from tI "gitard-
boat, mounting two. swivel guns, which they had
stolen or the coast of Havre, and therein escaped,
although they were observed and Tired at before
their bust had well got tinder way. They spoke
of France as in a dreadful state, anti said, that
just betore their departure, three _Otlieers, sus-
pected of being friendly to the Boit ituox cause,
were seized and flu Own into prison. Being short
of cash, the stolen boat was sold for their benefit,
a„,l the! wele allowed to make the. best of their
way to Ostehil, to join L x
OUI: S .a."6,vrini. in virtue of
a grant obtained from the Duke (IC CASTRIES for
that purpose.

This Prince was cot.; innocent ol all that Maria
Louisa had suffered': ~he, however, reproached
Mal with tenderness, and embraced him for the
fory,t time. The King of Rome was, on this day
of his birth, more than a fortnight old : every
body cried out at the size of his bead and chest ;
but it-was generally agreed, that a Prince, who
was born a King, ought to be sufficiently strung
to support his Cruwii.

. .
A secret of this importance. coul,tl not remain
long -a secret, especially in a Court where
;the
Master was feared by all, without being estenmo
by any. After the•fall of Enonaparte, the cOnfi-
dents separated, domestics talked, and the Sn rgeon.
Dubois was solemnly questioned. Pressed "by ‘:!t
thousand objections, and by his conscience, he con-
fessed that he had not delivered Maria Louisa, and
that aft e!,7 having waited some hours in an anti-
chamber, he had merely signed the proces verbal,
pro farina. It was Madame La Chapelle who at-
tended the Austrian Princess -on this occasion;
she is at the head of the h►►spital called La Mater-
nild • she has declared to several persons that she
believed that she saw a dead child brought into
the world, mutilated either by its sufferings, or
by instruments.

M. Duboi. was largely rewarded for his trouble,
or for his amiable conscience. He was made
Baron of the Empire, a blue ribbon, red ribbon,
and was cntieated to accept a pension of 30,000
livre,.---The fair nurse Dc Montrouge immediately
penetrated into this cunning adventure and as
she is frzink and plain, she could not help sniffing
when they spoke to her of Napoleon the Second.
Her nurse child appeared to her immense at the
first interview. "He sees clearly (she said), and
so do 1." •

(From tine Times.)

" Of course we cannot venture to pledge our-
selves. for its authenticity ; but at a moment like
the present, it can scarcely fail to be productive
of important consequences, that such a tale
should obtain circulation and credit. Its effect
in the i.popular mind will be to leave I3nonit-
pare wholly naked anti destitute of any thing
but his personal claims to: attachment. There
will be no prospect of iineal succession .to his
usurped honours, no hope of support front Austria
to his illegal pretensions. This last consideration,
too, will be greatly strengthened, if the match
which has been talked of between the Duke of
BERRY and the sister of the Archduchess MAMA
LOUISA shoUld really rue place."

WINDSOR, JUNE 12.--Yesterday morning, the
Duke of KENT arrived at the Castle from Ken-
t sitigtoOPalace. His Royal Highness attended
Divine Service with the QUEEN and l'Et:,:csiEs
in the Castle; after which the Royal Patty went
to Frogmore. In• the evening, the hand of the
sth Regiment attended in the Lung W.Pkk in the
Park, and played till near nine o'clock, which, at-
tracted a great concourse of people of all ranks,
who promenaded in the walls, which rendered the
scene truly delightful, and is considered superior
to that to:lnerlyallowed on the Terrace.—Princess
SoPnrA occasionally takes an airing in a chair in
the Park, drawn by a beautiful pony.
HANOVER :.'CLUARE Rooms.--Last night a Cern-
cert was perfume.: at these Rooms, for the be-
nefit of Master Justus METz, a Singer, about
41- years of age. The company was very nume-
rous, and consisted chiefly of musical Amateuts,•
professional persons, and visitors of thelatne per-
' suasion with the debutant, who is a Jew. Master
METZ possesses a most delightful soprana, and
executed several airs in a sweet style : he did
not, however, display great compass, nor does he
give sufficient' roundness to his closing notes.—

PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.—It has been repeated-
ly insisted upon, that the custom of too hastily
interring human bodies has frequently proved the
cause of death to persons whose lives might be
pres.sved for some time longer. A- most ' striking
instance in support of this assertion occurred yes-
terday evening in this city. A soldier of the 93d
regiment, quartered in the barracks, was looked
upon to be dead, and • after having been laid out
in the usual way during two days, -was conveyed
to the place of interment (St. Nicholas's Church.;
yard), on Yesterday evening, when, on lowering
the body into the grave, the soldiers assisting
heard the noise of struggling in the eotfln, and on
examination found the man whom they were in the
act of burying, endeavouring with his hands and
knees to force up the lid. To their great asto-
nishment they found their comrade still alive, and
conveyed him home in the open coffin. This
should prove an additional warning against pre-
mature interment.—(Cork, .11171 e 7.)

RUSSIAN DEBT.

I Lord ST. JOHN adverted to certain rumours
which, iad recently prevailed, which, , combined
with some circumstances t hatai)peared in t lie papers
lately laid•npon the table, called, he.thought, for
a serious explanation on the part of Ministers. He
alluded to the disbUrsement- of a large sum 9f
money to be disbursed for the Rtissian.Govern-
nient in part payment of a debt which was said to
have been contracted on account of the war be-
tween that Power:and Turkey.„many years since.-
He thought it at least very extraordinary that
such an immense, sum as was stated,,should be
• disbursed on the part of this country, and that
Ministers were called upon to give an explanation
as to the fact.
The Earl of Lim:root observed, that part of
what was stated by the NOble Lord had no ap-
plication whatever to the transaction alluded-to,
in xt' hich this country was concerned. it was true
that the Russian Government did owe a consi-
derable sum to certain merchants in Holland ; it
was generally known that the finances cf that Em-
pire -were in a very distressed and embarrassed
state; and the only question was, whether, upon
the consideration of the great efforts made by
Russia towards the deliverance of Europe, and of
Holland in particular, it Was not fitting for the
British Government, and that of Holland, to
relieve Russia from a part of that burthen. It
was the opinion of the Prince Regent's Govern-
ment that, upon the stipulations set forth in. the
Treaty, it was expedient, tinder all the circum-
stances, to bring the question to the consideration
of Parliament, that this Government, together
with that of Holland, should contribute sc.) the
quidation of the deft ; bitt which was nntlertaken
conditionally, that the engagement Was to cease,
if thd Netherlands should not remain under the
distinct sovereignty of Holland ; it induced there
fore time best sp:cies tit gultantee on the part
of Itusia- for the continuance of that 'very int-
portant and desirable object. The circumstances
wit ci► originally gave rise to the deht„he repeated
had no reference w hatever to the transaction
which he had stated. •

Lord Garr regretted that a subject of such
peculiar importance was nut brought forward at
an earlier period of the. Session. It was not the
least curious or 'questionable part of the affair,
that the debt alluded to was contracted in a war,
- respecting which this country had nearly been
volved, for the purpose of resisting, the encroacn-
mews of Russia on the Turkish duminit;ns, parti-
cularly respecting the possession of Ockzakoff.—
' The state of the Rassian finances healid not regard
as a sufficient reason for heaping additional ex-
pences on the already over-burthened people of
• this country : besides, Russia had but engaged in
a common cause, in which she was., deeply impli-
cated. Such a lavish expenditure was the more
rote regretted, at a time when an additional loan
of 36 millions was said to be neaoefating, besides
eighteen-millions iii Echequer7l:l,N; and a pro-
jected Vote ot. Credit of six The whole
making an additiou Of 60 millions 1..0 the ?untied
Debt of the country, which added to the sums
raised by War Taxes within the year, would, in
the expenditure of this very year, form an aggre-
gate of nearly One moiety of the whole National
Debt of England at the commencement of the
Revolutionary War in 1793. It wets impossible
this country could long stand so enormous a drain,
and in such circumstances tie relief adulated to
Russia was a most serious consideration. In ad.
ditiun to all this was the sums to be disbursed for
the erection of fortresses on the frontiers 'of the
Netherlands, and on account of the Duteli*ceded
colonic!, both which formed a considi:ration of as
useless and ill-judged an expenditure as could be
conceived. The colonies were not even'worth the
I gratuitous acceptance; and, upon the whole, he
must be allowed to protest against such a lavish

observed, that no Man could feel with more sin-
cere regret that' himself the hurthens which were
unavoidably laid tipoa this country since the pe-

argumentative speech snecessfully cotitended that
the :Noble Earl had made out no case whatever so
as to inculpate his Majesty's Government, or to
prove the particular branch of it referred to, to be
in the least deserving, of censure. He went over,
avowedly not the whole, but the prominent topics
adverted to, particularly the three great .points of
the Naval system. of ship-building ; the convoy
service—and .the operations on the Lakes of
Canada ; contending, that in the first, that sys-
tem was adhered to, which long experience had
proved to. be the most advantageous—though ho
admitted the• Act to be still capable of iniprove•
meut—that the deficiences• in the second, which.
under the circumstances were. very slight, were

to •the neglect of the Board of Admirahy—andi

NEW POST .OFFICE.
Sir JAMES SHAW thOvea the further considers-
tint) of the Report on the Post-4ce Hill. lie
then moved that it (e re-committed.—On the
questicn that the Speaker leave the Chair,
- -

- Mr. IIOLME SUMNER entered into t!Ye details of
the Bill, repeating the various arguments he used
in the previous stages, particularly those which
related to the misapplication of the Orphans'
-Fund, to the purpose of building a new Post-Of-
fice. lie remarked upon the conduct of the Col—
lector of the Duties upon coals for that Fund, and
recommended that the management of it should
be taken out of the hands of the Lord Mayor and
Aldermen of London, and that it should be regu-
lated in the same way as. the Fund fur the repair
of tirestminster Bridge. ,
Sir J. SHAW vindicated the mode in which the
Orphans' Fund had been managed, and went into
everal details to prove his assertions.
Mr. GrtENFEr.t. also justified the conduct of the
City in this.respect, insisting, that the trouble of
the senior Alderman, who held the office of
lector of the Ditties for tire Orphans' Fund, ‘vtis.
scarcely ;Idequately remunerated by the altoxvance
of a snialj salary.of.ahont "twopence in the pound,
the whole of ‘vhielt was given to the Duty.

of the city, but felt called upon to protest against

for the erection of a new Post Office. He opposcti
the application of the Orphan Fund, which ~.,3
in fact a tax raised on all London and 'its vicinity
