SECOND EDITION.

SUN OFFICE, Two O'CLOCK.

We are assured by,some Gentlemen who arrived
yesterday at Dover from Calais, that the Mails
from Lisle of Saturday and Stmday last had-not
been received. It was hence coujecturerl that
Lisle had declared in favour •of the King of
France. But nothing certain of such an event is
known.

We learn, also, from a very respectable Person
who left Paris on Thursday last, that BUONA•
PARTE was in that City on the morning, of that
day, but left it in the evening*. \Ve are assured
also, that at Amiens, a General named SEBAS-
TIAN!, bad ordered an hundred young men
to join the Conscription, six of whom refused, and
were sentenced to be shot ; but the tumult- Wsti.so
great in the town that he was obliged to quit the
place, and the men were liberated.

By the latest accounts from Ilrussels, we learn,
that the Prussians stationed-at Namur, Liege, an
Luxemburg, amounted to 100,000 men at least
But what is better, they are, enthusiasts-

in the

cause of their country as well as soldiers-, am.
burn ‘with eagerness to tread upon the soil o

France.

It was conjectured that BUONAPARTE intended
to make a dash upon the rig►►t of the Duke of
WELLINGTON, in the vain hope that the Duke
might not be prepaied for him. The Prussians
were near on the left, and were increasing every
day in numbers.

* Possibly another trick.

BREAD.—No alteration in the price of Bread

for the ensuing week.

The National, Intelligencer, the dead-official
Paper of the Aniericail Goverotnent, has the fol-
lowing pa.•sage :

" IbSPtiESSMENT OF SEAMEN,-ThiS 111IpOrpillt
subject having been %vaved in the late negoeiat tons
'at Ghent, and a Treaty of Peace concluded without
any provision thereon, the subject will in all pro-
bability become a source of contention, and pos-
sibly of war, between this country anal England."
An Officer of high rank in the iloyal service at
Ghent thus writes to a friend on thesth instant
" A hundred lancers who have deserted-in a body
from the rebels are this moment coming in with
the White Flag."

The inhabitants of Calais have been required to
lay in provision's for thfee months. Some ships
which had been lade❑ with meal and pease for
England, had been compelled to unload, and re-
turn to. England in ballast.

A Gentleman who left.liourdeaux so late as the
27th ult. states, that ,the 'French force there rtlid
not exceed 800 men; the remainder had been or-
dered off to join the armies in the North. Several.
affrays had taken place at Bourdeatti between the
inhabitants and the soldiers ; but the French Go-
vernment feeliug it to be their policy in the pre,
seat crisis to tranquillize as much as possible the
pes-):.)1e of the South; had given orders that the sol-
dit 4ould not any longer _cry— Fire l'Empereur !
On the Ist of May, the
,stamp on the French
Papers was changed. The Royal stamp, with the
Lillies, was continued from the entrance of 800-
NAPARTE into Paris till the 30th of April. That
which was substituted on the ISt of May, and
which is now to be affixed -to them, is the same
that was used during the first era of the Corsican's
usurpation, with the Eagle, &c. -
The Journal de Paris, of the sth, admits, in an
article from Milan, of the 19th April, that the Ne-
apolitans had already lost p ,000 _men, and 14
pieces of cannon, in the different battles in Italy :
a pretty diminution of Mr. illuttAT's disposeable
force !

Accounts have been received from Lisbon that
from 15 to 16,000 Portuguese troops were about
to be embarked for the Continent.

An interview took place yesterday between the
CHANCELLOR Of the Excucatna and a deputa-
tion from the holders of Exchequer Bills, with a
view to a further explanation on the subject of the
proposed funding, of Exchequer Bills. The Gen-
tlemen were informed, that such of the tormper
subscribers as were desirous of acceding to the
proposals of Government, amid had not Exchequer
Bills hm their 'possessions for the purpose of sub-
scribing, would be allowed to subscribe 1001. mo-
ney, instead of the value of that sum in Exche-
quer Bills. Those who agreed to this plan were
required to pay 10 per cent. deposit as to-mot•-
row, 451. per cent. on the I Ith of June, and
451. 2s. 6d. on the 1.1 th of July next.
• At the Perth County Meeting o❑ Monday last,
an Address to the PRINCE REGENT, on the pre-
sent state of public affairs, was moved by the
Duke of ATHOL, seconded by Lord KINNour..,
and unanimously 'agreed to.---The meeting also
appointed a Committee to co-operate with those
of other Counties, for the purpose of obtaining
an alteration of the existing laws with regard to
Distillation.—(Edinburgh Courant, May 9.)
Lieut.-Getz. BRENT SPENCER has ken returned.
to serve in the present Parliament for time Borough
of Sligo,. in the room of .10/IUA SPENCER., Esq.
who has
.accepted • the 'office of Eschcator of
Munster.

Sir NEAL O'DONEL has. been liberated. His
health had suffered so much that immediate dan-
ger to his life was apprehended, and the Lords
Justices remitted the remainder -of the sentence.
(Dublin Paper,) •
On Sunday, the neighbourhood ofi Bayswater
was tht'own into the greatest confusion, by the
appearance of a remarkably fine large dog, of the
Newfoundland breed, labouring under the liydro•
phobia. He attacked and severely wthinded a
Gentlethan. After may efforts, the animal was
shot-, but not until he had bitten several dogs.
On the 28th ult. a large compaily of Gentle-
men met at Mulß's lon, in Lastiwade, Scotland,
to commemorate the birth-day of the late Lord
NELyiLLE.

A FRENCH CARICATURE.

' A whimsical Caricature is at present exhibited
in. Paris, founded on the mode of expression used
for brevity's sake by Frenchmen, when asking for
any Newspaper, lir the Coffee-houses ; for exam-
ple, calling the " Journal de Debats " " Ie De-
bats," the " Journal de l'Empire," " L'Em-
pice," Sec.—The picture repiesents Louts XVIII,
BUONAPARTE, and the young King of ROme," sit-
ting in a Cafe, the Corsican reading the last men-
tioned Joitrnal. his MAJESTY says, very politely,
" Sir, when you have done witit THE EMPIRE, I will
thank you to let me have it;" and NAPOLEON,
pointing to the boy, replies, "Sir, 1 am sorry it is
not in my power to oblige you, for it is bespoke- for
this young Gentleman !! !" • •

LEGAL QUERY.

MR. EDITOR—I am a man who was sentenced

to die but the offence being slight, and favour-
able citcmhstances appearing, I received a free
pardon. I am told, that all debts, contracts,
and engagements whatsoever, to which I might
have been previously liable, have become null and
void, in consequence of,my being dead in law,
and that I am, in:fact, anew man.

Pray, good Mr. EDI-PQR, inform me, either
from your own knowledge, or through the me-
dium of any of your legal friends, whether my wife
became a. widow on that occasion; and if death
did us part ; if so, I shall consider the flay I was
condemned to the gallows, the most auspicious of
my life !

Honoured Sir, ever your's,
