from Lisle We are now positively informed,
that the hope of a speedy difnintaidn of the ArM'y
of Occupation is Wholly unfounded. All the en-
deavours which Our Ministers ha* employed to
induce the Allied Powerstosuch a step have been
in vain; it sees 'that Great Britain *ls the
'power which Made the least oppOsitioll 'to it.
People fancy that they observe, that since the
failure of these negociations fewer telotighs are
'given to the British soldiers in France ; and. that
Those who do return to Great Btitain are imme-
diately replaced by others. In expectation of
more favourable arrangements, the French Go,

of our Gazette occasion to say, " that he has
learned from authority, that Col. Massenbach had
entered! into negociations with a London hook -
seller for the sale of the manuscripts in question,
and that after the bookseller bad -off-toed him a
considerable sum, he demanded the sante sum of
the Prussian Government. Whether Colonel Von
Massenbach suffers innocently, time will show :
he is tillable to defend himself against the single
accusation that he offered to sell the suppression
of certain MSS. Nothing can ever clear his name
from this stain, anti the list of upright disinte,-
rested frien.ls of their country, in whom otir times
were so rich, is poorer by one."—Fir integer vita

The same ingenious artist who has offered to
destroy that wonder of nature, the fall of the
Rhine at Schaffhatisen, now makes, in the Bareuth
Gazette of the 9th September, the useful proposal
to draw off the Lake of Constance, like a great
cask of liquor, and to convert it, for the benefit
of the cattle, into a fertile meadow. With still
It-ss trouble he will get rid of the romantic Lake
of Geneva, the Lago de Como, the Lago Mag-
giore, the Likes of Annecy and Bongo, by which
he will most assuredly do a great service to the
lovers of grazing.

Frt orb Government has shown for some months
past very clearly that it ;s not its intention to dicharge to-
wards its flireign creditors the obligations Which were im-
pi,,,ed upon it by the treaty of Paris, and the convention of
the -20th of November, 1815. Every thing is interpreted in
favoiir of France, in order to invalidate the
a foutiittitniivd : it
of the
claims, by the aid of general principles, falsely
is there', for example, that they allege the .soi-disant Decree
of Invalidity (tie dee:lnce) of the Ex-Emperor, of the 25th of
February, 1808, in regard to all the claims coming from the
countries hitherto united to France ; and that they demon-

to the Constitution, it Was neither approved nor promulgated
as, a line by the Constitutional Authorities, is the cause that
all the claims il,ited before that epoch have not been liqui-
dated. It is trite this arbitrary proceeding of the French Un-
nusetit is still the subject of iliplomatic ncgociations, but
the mean time the liquidation of all the claims of this na-

TUESDA Y, SEPTEMBER 23, 1817.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Saturday last. A Royal Ordonnauce of-consi-
derable length is published in the Moniteur, con=
taining a great number of commercial regulations
applied to Marseilles, with a view to give to that
city, as a free port, greater advantages than it
has hitherto enjoyed. The following are ex-
tracts

" PARIS, SEPT. 20.—The King transacted busi-
ness yesterday With the Duke deltichelieu, Pre-
sident of the Council of Ministers.

" The squadron destined to resume possession

" The Journal de la Cote-d'Or of the 17th inst.

Three young girls have been devoured by these
animals : one in the forest of Cliardenois, and
the other two in the woods adjoining Mireheau
and Pontailler-sur-Saone. , At Booze, near
Beaune, a wolf furiously attacked six persons suc-
cessively in the middle of the village, and
wounded them all. A young •man had the
courage to seiie it, calling at the same time for
assistance, and the wolf was killed in his arms.
Near AUXUMIC two children from 13 to 14 years
of age were also, attacked by a wolf, one of them
Would have been killed but for the courage of his

vinces."

The Times asserted yesterday that the etittimu•
nication from ST. HELaNA, which first appeared
in The Morning Chronicle, and which we inserted
on Friday last, was sent to. The Chronicle by the
author of the Pamphlet on the Power of Russia,
which set The Times, The Chronicle, and The
Courier, all together by the ears. The Chronicle of
this day denies that it received the communication
from the alleged source. Our Readers will re-
member that we treated' the article in question
chiefly as a fabrication, as it was hardly to be
supposed that if BUONAPARTS wanted an impor-
tant favour of the British Government that he
would abuse it, as he is made to do in the article
allotted to. The probability is that this said com-
munication, if it had any foundation in truth,
was made the vehicle of ,factious spleen, and a
handle to abuse Ministers. 'lt abounded with ab-
surdities, contradictions, and shallow speculations,
and what excited a little curiosity at first on ac'
count of the notorious character to which. it re'
fated, is now justly consigned to contempt. It
is observable, that this flimsy, yet venomous ar•
tiele, came first into the paper which was the ye..
Icicle of MARIA LOUISAI3 pretended Protest, and.
other recent fabrications. Does the Public Print
in question knowingly ,aid and assist in these fa,
brications, or is he thought by Wags abroad or
at home, a credulous dupe," a greedy gudgeon,
ready to 'swallow any'political hoax, provided it
is baited with abuse of his own country ?

The work on the Power of Russia, is.
ascribed to Sir Ron Ear WILSON, seems to have
bewildered The Morning Chronicle, . indeed the.,
author himself seems to be bewildered, for he
endeavoured to excite apprehensions of formidabto
danger, but does not appear to have suggested
any adequate remedy. But The Chronicle, advert-
ing to some of the Acts of Russia, says, " Why
were they not prevented ? Because they could not
be prevented." It must be admitted that The
Chronicle has shewn great sagacity in this answer
to itself, and it must be acknowledged that its
answers, either to itself or others, are by no,means
in general equally sat isfactory. Another instance of
equal sagacity is shewn by The Chronicle in these
words, " Would you go to War with Russia because
she is too powerful? Certainly not." We hope our
Ministers will derive a lesson from The Chronicle,
and never go to War when they are sure of being

defeated. How kind is it in The Chronicle thus t•
deliver political axioms to a Ministry whom it is
constantly attempting to overturn. There is some
inconsistency in this conduct, but it is generous,
and inconsistency h quite in character with The
Morning Chronicle. But we are informed by The
Chronicle that " the Government which the
each, if left to themselves, would have .adopted,
Must necessarily have been strong." Ibis is a se=
riot's truth. It would have been strongenough-
perhaps to have oVerturned all other Governments;
but thanks to the wise perseverance of Great
Britain, when the spirits of all_olher Powers were
broken-hearted and sinking into ruin, her ex-
ample roused them, and , Europe was saved from
the revolutionary monster, whether in the shape
of a Banditti, or a single Usurper: But The
Chronicle is too mischievous to be jested with.
It wants to set the revolutionary spirit of France
again in motion, for it says, " Europe can never
Lplace any reliance on France till her soil is freed
from the pollution of a foreignsoldiery." To pass over
the indecent manner in which our part of the Arm
of Occupation is mentioned, may it not be inferred
;.that . the Cabinet of France is now in- a great
ilegreecomposed of Revolutionas y Chlrautcra, t Isat
I •

The Chronicle wants to give play to their talents,
'and what would be the consequence—the general
disturbance of all Europe, the probable revival
of all the bloody horrors of the Revolution, and
the subversion of all the ancient Continental Go-
vernments. Has not then Russia full reason to
put herself in a posture of defence, and must not
those Politicians be mere Tyros, who cannot see,
in the gradual formation of the new Cabinet of
France, the evident imbecility of her amiable
KING, and in the uncertainty of his life, full cause
for Russia to prepare herself for events, by timely
caution, the result of judicious foresight.

The Duke of KENT is resolutely proceeding iti

ably be expected.
