SOLES! QUIS DICERE YALSUM AUDEAT ?

LONDON, ;UNE 8, ISo z.

nits morning we received Paris Papers of the

411 inst. They, contain little that is important, if
we except an article from Bourdeaux, of the z9th
, ult.. which states 'the arrival there of a Vessel
from Guadaloupe, and which on the Isth of April
touched at Dominica, where, the Master of this
Vessel states, there was an insurration of the

Blacks, three.fourths of whom are represented to
have been in arms against the Whites. This in.
telligence, we must observe, is twelve or fourteen

days biter than the accounts brought by the Mar-
rim:a. We must soon, we should hope, have more
certain, iand we trust more satisfaftory intelligence
on this important subjea.
The Five per CentS. were on the 33 at 55. 30.

Ix another part of this Paper, we have inserted
the observations on the last debates of the English
farliamen!, which appeared in the Moniteue' of the
3tl inst. It is al article so very pacific in its nature
and tendency, that we cannot avoid feeling great
pleasure in laying it before our Readers.
To the animadversions of the French Journals
on the hostile tone of the English Papers, the Morn-
ing Post of yesterday has been able to make no bet-
ter reply, than by attacking this and a Morning Pa-
per with aspersions equally false and unjustifiable.
It asserts that " BO NAPA?. TE conduas these Papers,
and sends, through Messrs. OTTO and ADD NGION.,
3UCII articles fur publication as he deems it fit the
English people should read."
Whoever has attended to the principles and conduct
of this Paper and the other aZuded to, must have per-
ceived;that they have uniformly abstained from all in-
vedive against France during the course of the Ne-
gotiation for Peace, and from all spirit of animosity,
when it was ratified. The Morning Post, however,
and several other Papers, which during the War,
distinguished themselves for their zeal in the cause
of France ; which justititd the Revolution, and
apologized fir its atrocities, have, on a sudden been
tran;formed into violent enemies, because the Peace
between the two Centuries has wholly extinguish-
ed the hoyt's of those who looked for personal ad-
vantages amidst the wrecks of Civil Society.
It is a fast, which perhaps may have escaped gene-
ral observation, that the most virulent opponents of
the present Government of France, are chiefly among
the number of those who were tie Advocates of
ROB ESP TERRE and the Committee of Public Safety.
Irritated beyond measure, at the discomfiture of their

plans, perceiving ail their lofty pretensions to theo-
ratical perfeeti3n vanish before their eyes, their

minds a:e naturally embittered against the person of
that Chief Magistrate, who, more than any other

man in France, has-contribated to hasten the 'clown-
fai of this pernicious system. Such is the real
charafter, ill general, of those who avow hostility
against the present French Government ; and such
are the motives which direct the tenor of their:
conduct.

This Paper, on the contrary, has preserved an
uniformity of tone, not inconsistent, we trl4,t, with
judgment and good sense. When the two Nations
were unfortunately eng,tged in war-faze, this Paper

supported with vigour the great moral an political
• obje.fts fur whichwe were contending. And when,
at length, Adwinistration had eff:4ed their purpose,
w 1 the state of Civil. Society been= nolOnger
endangered, it rejoiced in common with the whole
people, on the cessation of hostilities, and it per-
n;itted. 420 sentiments whiFh could give offence to,
oar disc:wine the pacific temper of our late Enemy.

TE:s morning arrived a Hamburgb tail. Ear
an Article fr:,m roma, dated the 2t,1 of May,'we
learn that the two hostile parties in the Island of
Co►fu, have again had some open encountets, in
which a number of lives were lost.

The Diet of Hungary have readily complied with
the EXPEROR'S demand, of an addition of Two
Millions a year to the Land-tax. None of his
measures are likely to meet with any obstruftion.
His Swedish Majesty was to leave Stockholm on
the Sib of this month, on his tour to Finland.
His Royal Highness the DUKE of CAMBRIDGE
arrived at Ritzebuttel on the 3oth of May, and set
off in the afternoon of the same day for Hanover.

11re,w-17 ork Papers of the 24th of April were yes-
terday received. They contain a variety of Ac-
counts from St. Domingo, which describe the French
as having made very little progress in reducing the
Island to subjettion. The accounts are not later
thin the French Official Dispatches, but they are
useful as a supplement to the latter. •
The Harmonic Club dined yesterday , at the
"Fhajched-House Tavern. His Royal Highness the
PRINCE of WALES honoured the Meeting with his
presence.

At the QUEEN'S Concert on I riday night, the
Ladies wore different dresses from those in which
they appeared at Court. This gave full employment
to all the Milliners and Mantua-makers in town.
Mrs. DRUMMOND SMITH and Mrs. COCKEREL
both gave grand routes on Friday night. That of
the latter was particularly crowcie,i.
Last night Miss MoacANs gave their Annual
IVlasqued Ball, which Was most splendidly and
numerously attended. _ _

To-morrow the Marquis of SALISBURY gives a
grand dinner, at his house in Arlington-street.
The Masquerade at Ranelagh on Friday night
was well attended, and the supper and wines were
plentiful and good.
Messrs. PRICE and SHAW start for the City,
and a warm contest is expected.

Mr. W. SMITH is determined to stand for Mr.
vich, but we believe with little chance of success.
Mr. DUNDAS, it is said, will have thirty out of
the farty-five Members for Scotland returned in his
interest at the approaching General Election.
Mr. ROBSON intends going to the Continent, far
the purpose of studying the Engli.rh language.
The Earl of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE went to France
about ten days ago, attended only by a single ser-
vant.

The first proceeds of the sale of the Charib lands
in St. Vincent are for the entire liquidation of the
Civil List arrears,. a measure that will entitle Mr.
ADDINGTON to the sincere thanks of thousands.

We have no doubt of a Commercial Arrangement
between this Country and France being very soon
concluded, both Governments being, as we firmly
believe, actuated by the sincerest desire to preserve
the good understanding that so happily subsists be-
tween the two Countries.

The charaCter which our Countrymen, who were
imprisoned at Lille in Flanders, left behind them is
worthy of record. Out of 4000 British troops
who were confined in the Citadel of that Town,
not a single demand was left unliquidated. The
inhabitants express the highest satisfaCtion at 'their
condut, and often contrast it with that of the
Soldiers of some other Powers, who accrued debts
which they never paid.
A great number of the English now at Paris have
been greatly mortified at the late regulation which
has been made at-the Court of the Thuilleties, by
which they are exclUded from being intro teed to
the First Consul. There is now a standing order,
that no English person shall be presented to the
First Consul, who has not been previously presented
ill St. James's. And in consequence of this order,
:he Dutchess of CILMB E RI,A ND could not be present.

docks, &c. 200,0001. is estimated will be the ex_
pence. On Monday and the following day 100,6001.
were subscribed, and the whole was completed on
Thursday afternoon.
An attempt. was made by the Contralors to take
from the Subscribers to the Irish Loan the benefit
of the Exchange between the two Countries, which
is about 3 per cent, but we believe without success.
The loss to the holders of chat Loan is already
great enough.
At four o'clock, Friday afternoon, the three Re-
giments of the East India VolgnteerTroops yen.
dezvoused on their parade, at their warehouses in
New-stncer, having received orders to march from
thence to ;heir Add, near Islington, where a num_
her of people attended ;, but the above orders being
"countermanded, the Thanks of the House of Com-
mons were read to them by their Colonel Coin-
mandarin, and they were dismissed at five o'clock.
Last Friday the St. Clement Danes Association
assembled in Temple gardens, and fired a feu de

at Warsacw, upon the arrival of Prince SUBOFF.—
This old favourite of GATHER 1.“.'II. having lately
received -the
,Emperor's orders to quit Russia, in-
tended to fix his residence for some time at Warsaw.
The Inhabitants, considering him the author and
advi..lr of those unhappy events which terminated
the political existence of Poland, expressed the ut-
most discontent at seeing him within their walls ;
the people began to assemble and threaten his life ;
the Prussian Governor was obliged to order out the
troops, but fortunately, tranquillity has been re-
stored without bloodshed. The Governor, however,
advised Prince Su uotiF 19 Tait the City, which he
did the next day.

Mr. KEMBLE sets off for the Continent as soon as
Drury-Lane Theatre closes. He takes Paris in his
route to Spain.
Old Q. should pay more respe& to the Audience-
than to talk so loud at public places'as to interrupt
the Performers. At least, if he claims the privi;
lege of Peerage on such occasions, he should not
tolerate this prcaice in his French attendant. •
We cannot but think it a great depravation of
the public taste, as well as an obvious and de-
plorable relaxation of public morals, that so many
Men should appear at the Masquerades attired as
Women. The pradice appears to us- shockiog,
and demanding the severest animadversions of
decency and taste.
Mrs. CoswAr perseveres in her plan of making
Etchings from the grand collection of Pidures in
the. National Gallery at Paris. What she has al.
ready done displays an. uncommon degree of spirit
and fijelity. The Work she has undertaken is
stupendous indeed, but her goal for the Arts seems
not likely to be tired in the pursuit.
One of the most' mignificent literary produc-
tions which- has lately appeared, is the Celestial
Atlas of M. BODE,. Member of the Royal Academy
at• Berlin, and Professor of Astronomy. It has
been published in that Capital in twenty large
sheets, with a Catalogue of t 7,000 stars, a gteat
part of which has been furnished him by LALA:i'DE,
the celebrated French Astronomer.

Nothing can exceed the present gozit of the Pari-
sians for every thing that is in the style of our Pub-
lic Gardens. Besides Tivoli, the Gardens of nits.
cati, on the Boulevards, are remarkable for 'their
elegance and simplicity. On one side of the great
walk, are the busts of the French Poets, on the
other, the busts of the English. A variety of small
illuminated Temples are scattered about the gardens
and form their principal ornaments. In the rooms
are all kinds of refreshments, and Ices of most ex-
quisite quality. No money is paid for admission,
and the company who frequent Frascati are of the
best class. No kind of immoralities are permitted,
and those Gardens are considered by the Fashion.
ables, as their most agreeable resort. Frascati is,
notwithstanding, not a quarter so lap as our Vaux-
hall.

The following most extraordinary circumstance
occurred early on Thursday morning, at the Grapes
Ta:ern, in Cable-street, Liverpool A young
gentleman (under the influence of a dream, in which
he supposed a person was pursuing him with a pistol)
left his bed in a chamber of the middle story, and
aftually forced the lock of a door, to attain the attic
floor, which, when he had effeded, he opened the up.
per sash, and tlirew himself into the street. In falling,
his shirt caught the projecting grapes, and forced
them down with him. This considerably broke his
NI, insomuch that he lit upon his heels ; and strange
to tell, received no bodily injury whatever—not
even the slightest scar. It will be recorded as an
almost incredible wonder, that after rising from
bed, forcing the lock of a door, and filling from a
window of three stories, the horror of the dream
had not left him, as', on being interrogated by a
watchman—" In the name of God, what is the
matter P' he exclaimed, 4.1 A villain wants to shoot

`urea on the part of the French Government, by a
t
`fosal couched in the grossest terms. The,inevit-
ble. tonsequence of a refusal, under such Circum-
nces, was to give a new impulse to a nation from

, ties in the name of honour and patriotism.

tilt) Y of Suworow, having returned to Poland, Rus.
h..':a had decidely abandoned the Coalition. This
otfr i°4l, it is tide, did not present all the advantages
the first, but the opportunity nevertheless was

in the ridiculous expedition in which he

tot. Ought to have terminated. He irritated; he
tietired, in Circumstances when the most simple no-
etd of policy would have taught a man to soften
to conciliate.
th 311 Y, There was still 'a third period at which.
P -"finish Minister -could and ought to have made
oy C•o• allude to that of the Preliminaries signed
cbo rit ST. jULIEN. Italy had that been re.

It is possible for us to refute sentence for sen-
tence the whole speech of. Lord Grenville: It is
not necessary to chew that he is alone responsible
for whatever he objeets against Ministers. If Italy
is under the influence of France, he alone is to
blame. If I•raples has recovered its political in-
dependence, it is due to the ability of his suc-
cessor. If Hanover was taken possession of by the
King of Prussia, and on the point of being occu-
piedby France, it was the fault of the old Mini-
stry. If the King of England has recovered his
Ele,Aorate, it is owing to the prudence and wisddm
Of his new Ministers. If Portua°al saw her fron.
tiers over-run, and, in danger of being blotted out
of the list 4 European Powers, it was the fault of
the old Ministry. If she haS been saved and lost
nothing in Europe, it is to the prudence of the new
Ministry that she is indebted for the obligation.

Although England may have brave Sailors, like
those whom she undoubtedly possesses, Admirals
like Lord St. Vincent, worthy to command them ;
Officers- intelligent and aaive, like Sir .Sidney
Smith ; Negotiators candid, firm, conciliating, like
Lord Cnrnwallis and• Lord St. Helens; able Finan-
ciers, like Mr. Pitt.
men, however, would be unable to maintain her-
in the rank she is destined to occupy, if at the
head of her cabinet she had hot-headed men, like
Lord Grenville, or Ministers like Mr.' Windham,
whose violence would lead to the same consequences
as incapacity.
