ABBE SECHANT.—As the Earl of SUFFOLK has.
thought proper to mention the Abbe SECHANT in
the House of Lords, and to place him in a point of
view calculated to interest pUblic, humanity, it may
be proper to say something bout the said Abbe, in
order to vindicate his. Grace the Duke of PORT-
LAND, for having occasioned the removal of such
a man from this, Country. The Abbe was a
man of talents, and well acquainted with the
world ; but he was a man who, in a moral and
religious point of view, was entitled to nothing
like respeet from the Public. He resided in
this Country many years, partly, by teaching
the French language, and partly by means that
were wholly inexplicable. He was Chaplain to the
late Dutchess of KINGSTON,', when she made a voy-
age to Russia, but the Abbe was of too intriguing
a spirit even for that Lady,' and he wag ditinissed
from her service. He was an intimate friend of the
Rev. Mr. JACKSON, who was conviaed of Treason
in Ireland. The Abbe was' a decided Republican,
and a determined enemy of the Bourbon Famiiy.
He did not scruple to avoW himself, upon all occa-
sions, an ardent admirer of the French Revoln.
tion, and to inculcate Republican-Principles. He
was an Enthusiastic Prophet, respelling the progress
of the French system and the French arms, and the
triumph of Democracy was. the favourite subjed of
his conversation. We defy any body who knew
the Abbe SECHANT, and he was known to many
in - this Country, to contradia this account of
him. As to the hardship of removing him from
England, it may be a subjed of Parliamentary
pathos ; but we can confidently affirm, that if any
reliance could be placed. on the Abbe's, own declara-
tions, he was heartily tired of what he termed the
despotism of England, and imiged to breathe the
air-of Republican France.. ,He was much advanced
in life, and was certainly .well acquainted with the
world, but in point of virtue or accomplishments
there was nothing in his charader that entitled him
to the esteem of a British Peer, or to the sympathi-
zing pity of ale" English Nation.

We understand. when Monsieur GAII.I.TER I IsT takes
his aerial fligbt, accompanied by Col. GR EV ILL E,
that after he has gotten ten thousand, feet high, he
will take leave of the Colonel, who will remain to
enjoy a Pic-Nic iu Nubibur.

It is well known that when Count ZAMBECCARI
and Admiral VERNONIIIIOUnted into the regions of
the air, there was something in the machinery which
required them. to descend. 'As soon as,the Balloon
. had reached the earth, . the Count jumped out, and
instantly the Admiral shot up aloft, to the utter
astonishment of the Count,' who, never considered
the effed of lightening the Balloon by a zoo or
150 pound weight., We apprehend
_that when M.
GARNEkI,N bids adieu to the Colonel at to,ooo
feet high, the latter will instantly-,ascend xo,ooo
feet higher towards Heaven, which.catinot fail to
have a most pleasing-effed.
The City Barges, we hear, are to be applied
for, for the Regatta on Monday.
The Pic-Nits have got the start of Parliament—
they are already dissolved.
A profound poliiician informs us, that the CHIEF
CoNsur.,„ jealous of what might happen at Memel,
has sent one of his ildjutants " to assist at the Con-
ferences." It is to he sure very probable that an
Emperor and'a King, in' a cOnfidential interview,
would endeavour to enlighten their discussions by
the assistance of a bench Adjutait ti
