sion took place. The body of flits tthfortunite
man was thrown up by the explosion to the
height. of fifty feet, against the walls of the Cha-
pel, and was shockingly mangled; he was the,
only person who lost his life ; some infantry sol-
diers of the sth Regiment of the Guards were
wounded in their beds by broken pieces of glass
striking them, but only one was so much hurt as
to render it necessary to send him to the Hospi-
tal. The great magazine, containing a consider-
able quantity of powder, and situated only fifteen
paces from the scene of explosion, was miracu-
lously preserved. The windows of all the adja-
cent buildings were broken.
" The King having been informed of the ex-
plosion, went at two o'clock to Vincennes to in-
spect the state of the fortress. His Majesty gave
considerable rewards to some of the artillery-
men, who took tip several caissoons in their atm3,
to Convey them away out of danger. All the
windows at Vincennes were found to be broken.

" The Duke of Wellington arrived at Cologne
in the afternoon of the I Ith instant.

" M. Rienzi, who. was wounded is a duel, is
out of danger.
" The wife of M. Mongnard, Captain of Artil-
lery, at Vincennes, was seriously wounded by the
effects of the explosion. The damage is estimat-
ed at from 50 to 60,000 francs.

" VreNNA, AUG. 7.—The Conferences at Carls-
bad will, it is said, produce important results
with regard to Germany. It is nevertheless un-
derstood that they will not. be of long duration.
It is reported here that the Duke of ‘Vellington
and Lord Stewart will proceed thither."

There Lis been recently published in France
the Correspondence between BtJOMAPARTE and
CARNOT on the return of the former from Elba.
There is now so little interest attached to the
cause of the Usurper in France, that this Cor-
respondence, though really important in itself,
has not excited much notice : it, however, places
CARNOT in a favourable light, inasmuch as it
sheers that he dared to expostulate with the ex-
iled Tyrant, and to resist his imperious mandates.
It also fully justifies the opinions which we main,-•
tained at the time, when we presumed to doubt
the " universal joy" with which the return of
BUONAPARTB from Elba was hailed. The Moni-
tear, indeed, was daily filled with the protesta-
tions of the people's love, and Addresses from all
parts. Still we withheld our credence of the facts.
It now turns out that we were perfectly right. The
letters of NAPOLEON IO his Minister CARNOT speak
of nothing but the disaffection of his loving sub-
jects in all parts ; be bitterly complains that they
do not send him addresses of congratulation, and
the Minister is requested to invite them to do so.
as a thing agreeable to his Imperial Majesty.—
Evety letter announces that the fidelity of such
and Such PREFECTS, MAYORS, &c., cannot be re-
lied on, and CARNOT is ordered to dismiss them
instantly. They found that not one in fifty could
be depended upon—they all had predilections in
avour of the legitimate Sovereign, which was a,
sufficient reason to dismiss them at once, reserv-
ing to a future opportunity the punishment of
their high crime in detesting NAPOLEON. His
letters are written in a hasty, hurried, manner,
and betray at every moment his alarm. Ile
feared the French Nation—he found it had tasted
of Constitutional Liberty, and would not bend
again under his iron yoke ; he saw himself de-
tested by all the Civil Officers of Government,
and found that they dared to disobey his mandate ;
his sceptre. was broken, and be was viewed as he
was in himself : hence the apathy of the French,
who would neither furnish the supplies demanded
for the Campaign of 181.5, nor defend the terri-
tory against the Allied, Armies. This is a consol-
ing fact, and proves that France is really not
Jacobinical ; we mean the mass of the nation. All
factious, indeed, call themselves exclusively the
Nation, but the Nation disowns them : it requires
neither more nor less than the just
.exercise of
the Constitution which the KING has given to
them.

We yesterday informed the Public that the
proposed Meeting at Kennington Common, on
Monday next, had -been postponed, in conse-
quence, no doubt, of the active measures which
had been adopted at Manchester, to preserve the
peace of the Country. We have now, however,
the melancholy task of stating that this post.
