3OLEM QUJS DICERS FALSUM AUDEAT

LONDON,
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1817.

This morning we received the. Paris rapers of
Monday.last. The following are Extracts :
" PARts, Sari. B.—Yesterday, after Mass,
the King received the Ambassadors, Ministers,
Marshals, Ste. The new Ministers of War and

Marine were present.
" Daring the storm.nn Friday, the lightning
struck the hospital Saint Antoine : it penetrated
the sick ward, but without -injuring any person.
The lightning also struck three times at Arcueil :
the first time, alooln full of children, the second,
in a court, and the third, in a field ; no damage
was done.

" The intelligence from the Tyrol is afflicting.
After a southerly wind, which lasted three days,
the Inn and the Syll rose on a sudden higher than
in 1769. The torrents have carried awis'y trees,
bridges, and buildings.
" The amount of the National Guards of Paris
was on the Ist inst. 30,111 effective men, 6,716
non effective, and 268 Cavaliers, mounted and
equipped. Total 37,095.

" During the last month there sailed from
Havre 166 merchant vessels, viz. 84 French, 15
Americans, 47 Engli6h, 3' Belgian, 5 Danish, 4
Dutch, 1 Norwegian, 3 Russian, and 4 Swedish.
" On the 7th instant an affray took place at
Bourdeaux. amongst several individnals assembled
'at a public-house. The guards camel() qua the
disorder, but were assailed by stones and sticks,
and were nailer the necessity of using their arms.
Four shots were fired, by which some of the
rioters, were slightly wounded.

" The Prince and .Princess de Radzivil have
arrived here with a suite of fifteen persons-.
Yesterday before Mass the King received, at
a private audience, the Duchess de San Carlos,
the wife of the Spanish Ambassador to the Court
of London. The Duke sets out to-morrow for
London.

" The King of Prussia is expected at Berlin
on the 25th instant.

" 'They write. from Lausanne, that the Rhine
has devastated the country from Ragatz to the
Lake of Constance. This river in the night be-
tween the 27th and 28th ult, rose above all the
embankments, and alter having broken down the
greater part of them, it precipitated itself into the
plains, and destroyed the finest harvest. Haag and
Salez, in Werdenherg, Diepoltsan, Sebuietter, and
Wionau, in the Rhinthal, are under water. The
vallies to Bernang present to the view an im-
mense Lake; boats are plying in places where
water had never before been seen. At Trub-
Inch the Rhine has inundated the salt warehouses.
Oberied was the only place where the popula-
tion, who assembled at the sound of the tocsin,
were enaided to resist the torrent. In several
places the water has quitted the old bed of the
River, which is dry at,d covered with sand.

" LAUSANNE, SEPT. 9.—The Merchants of
Coire have agreed to advance 300,000 florins for
the construction of a road from C►►ire to Benin-
zone by Mount Bernaifiin. It will open into
Piedmont, and establish a communication with
Genoa, without touching upon Lombardy."

[Front the New Yorh Commercial Advertiser of August 20.]
Arrived last evening the schooner Hermit: from
St. Mary's; sailed Aug. 7. The day before the
Hermit sailed, a report was circulating at St.
Mary's, that a small Patriot privateer had been
captured in St. John's River by a party of Spa-
niards, and her ciew, consisting of aboAtt 18 men,
nearly all put to death. She was said to be the
small clinker-built schooner which was lately
picked up in this river by the revenue cutter Gal-
latin, Captain Ross.

We recur to the subject of the changes in the
French Cabinet, which seem to have created a
very active warfare among The Chronicle, The
Courier, and The Times. The increasing power,
atut. reported preparations of Russia seem to have
alarmed all the combatants, if we can understand
dick iiwaning.—For oqr part, we conceive it is
not only the duty of Rnssia, but of every Conti-
nental Government, to look with alarm towards
the Revolutionary Power which appears to be re-
vi-Ving its France.—All the loyal supporters of the
Throne seem to be gradually divested of power
and influence, and their places to be filled by men
who are hackneyed in revolutionary move-
ments, and who, like the Tiger, which hav-
ing once tasted human blood, thirsts for it
again, are anxious to recover that authority
in the State which they could only enjoy
under 'a Revolutionary Government. While these
men exercised their authority under BUONAPARTE,
his terrific character, and his known subtlety, kept
them under some restraint, lint what are they to
fear from the present infirm and aged Monarch,
who is too mild and too sincere for such men I
The three Belligerent Journals therefore to which
we have alluded, seem not to have reflected on
the nature and the -probable 'course thintis.
For ourselves we think Russia is acting with wise
f,resight in preparing for events, observing the
gradual and alarming construction of the French
Cabinet, and we are supported- in opinion by
many judicious and intelligent Politicians in ap..,
prehending the worst consequence on the death
of the King of FRANCE, and the removal of the
Army of Occupation, which may indeed be con-
sidered as the safeguard. of Europe.

The Morning Chronicle must have disappointed
the Public, and has certainly brought discredit
on itself.—it insinuated that the Conductor of
THE SUN did not commence his '' literary career
in support of liberal opinions," and when this im-
pudent and fallacious charge is denied, instead of
attempting a justification, or offering a gentle-
manly apology, it contents itself this day with the
following despicable attempt at a sarcasm

"The Editor of .TirE SUN is erirnestly dt,irous of be•its;
relieved froiu the imputation of consistency. lle arers that
4 he comtnenced his literary career in support ut liberal upi-

'lions.' "

We appeal to the Public whether there is an)
appearance of liberality or justice in this most
lame and ,impotent conclusion.", We have a
tight to pride ourselves on consistency; but a eon.
sisteney of a better description than that of Tlu
Chronicle, which has been consistent in support-
ing all the horrible outrages and all the delusiv,
sophisty of Fitince, and in constantly reviling
own country. Indeed its sentiments are so wild.
so loose, and so uncertain, except as we repeat .-
in a uniform attempt to degrade its own coup-
try and abuse others, that it might almost be ques-
tioned whether it has any sense of national feeling.
