THE DeK AND DUCHaSS OF K R The
Duchess of KENT, we ate happy to say, continues
to enjoy very good health since her arrival at Ken-
sin4ron Palace. Her Royal Highness takes an
airing daily in a phaeton fur about an hour and a
half, in general drove by the Duke. On•Sattir-
day and Wednesday the Princess Soenta of
Choncus-rEtt visited the Duke and Duchess. YrS-
terday the Duke left town for Windsor, on a vi-
sit to the Princess SOPHIA, who is much recover-
ed in her health.

DUKE OF 13uccLeuGH.—It is with much regret
we annonnce the death of this Nobleman, which
took place in the middle of April at Lisbon,
where his Grace had been advised to go tor the
recovery of his health. lie had been for a con-
liderahle time in a declining state. His Grace
was Lora Lieutenant of the Counties of Edin-
burgh and Dumfries he was a Knight of the
Thistle, and was born 24th May, 1772. He
married, in 1795, the youngest daughter of Vis-
count SIDNEY, and by her, who died in .1814, he
has left three sons and four daughters. The fa-
mily has lately had great accessions of pi operty
from the Moutague and Queensberry estates.

LITERARY FLIND.-Yesrerday evening the An-
niversary Festival of this laudable Institution was
celebrated at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great
Queen•street, Lincoln's-ion-fit-Ids. At abort six
o'clock, upwards of 100 persons of greet respec-
tability sat down to an excellent dinner. In the
absence of his Royal Highness the Doke of KENT,
who was prevented attending the Meeting from
the peculiar state of the Duchess, Sir BENJAMIN
floanousa took the Chair.

Vhateve►• may be said against Lotteries, they
are certainly, as conducted in this country, the
most calm and dispassionate modes of adventur-
ing that have yet been deviFed by man. By the
drawings being limited to two or three days, the
evil of insurance formerly complained of has long
been removed. The revenue is greatly benefited
by this voluntary tax. Almost every other spe•
cies of play, and which is generally carried on iu
secret by individuals, is not only unproductive to
the revenue, but exposes the adventurer to the
cheating and super for cunning of his adversary ;
while the fairness of drawing a Lottery is gua-
ranteed by Government, in which, if an ativen-
tt►rer loses, it is but a trifle, and it he is fortu-
nate, lie secures au iodependence.
G. CARROLL expects to sell his USUAL propor-
tion of the Four Prizes of 20,000/. which the
Lottery contains. The success which has at-
tended CARROLL'S New Office, 19, Curnhill, every
Lottery since it has been (Tema', is remarkable,
and such as to induce Adventurers again and again
to try their fortune at what must appear to them
as the very abode of Fortune. In the Last Lot-
tery only CARROLL Sold a larger amount ot Ca-
pitals than any other Offste-keeper,—amongst
which was No. 706, a Prize of 20,000 Guineas,
and the highest Prize which that Lottery con-
tained. The drawing •iill commence NexT
TUESDAY. and the First Two Prizes must be Two
of 20,000/.

l'Aßis, MAY 3.—ln vain his MAJESTY and his

Ministers preach peace ; the Ultras declare there
will be a Revolution, and that before the Summer
passes. Let us therefore, ere it happens, take a
view of its causes and its conscqueuces ; rind by
way of elucidating these points, let us go bark to
the former one in 1789. The Revolution broke
out, because the Nobles and the Clergy would not
relinKluisli their privilege of exemption flout the
payment of taxes ; defeated at home (like Messrs,
CHATEst.lints.ND and Co. Authors of La Note
Secrete), they applied for Foreign aid, and by
ttleir criminal intrigues to recover what they had
lost, they roused all France, and became thus the
primary and efficient cause of the greatest entire
on earth. the mottle,- of their virtuous Sovereigo
and his Family. Yes, they, the Nobles and the
Priests, arc the real authors of the crime com-
mitted by an inforiated Convention ; they de-
stroyed the National Assembly, the guataroee of
peace anti prosperity to France ; they forced their
Monarch to break the Constitution he had freely
given ; and sport their heads be his innocent
blood. Let us thaw a veil over all the subservient
horrors of the Revolution,—let us pass over in
silence the sanguinary despotign Of BUoNAPAETE,
and arrive at the period of the Restoration. What,
at that period, was the wish of the French. Na-
tion ?-War ? No, they were sated with it ;. Re-
volution ? No, it could have DO object ; on the
contrary, the great mass of the nation was inte-
tested in the preservation of the present order of
things. They wished a free Constitution, like that
of England, like that granted in 1791 by Lours
XVI. ; and his Majesty Lours XVIII. granted it
to them. All was peace, all was b,.rmony, nay
more, all was exultation, it we except the fetes a
pErruque, the Nobles and the Clergy, who sighed
fur their ancient Privileges, Church lands, anti
Tithes. These were and are the only discontent-
ed classes,—these tire the only ones who seek a
Revolution,—these are the users who, as Lord
BACON says, " %You'd set their neighbour's house
on fire, and it were but to roast their eggs;" who
would again set all Europe in arms, to procure
the ideal rights of cowards, rebels, and assassins.—
These are harsh terms ; let its examine if they are
just. Did they not basely desert Louts XVI.,
latter creating him numberless enemies ? Did they
not desert Louts XVIII., iu 1815, and scamper
away belore the Usurper, who travelled unattend-
ed, as it were, and unarmed? Any of them could
have arrested his march, but the cowards dared
not face him, though, if we look at the Pension-
List, we shall find they were a thoeialtd to one
against hint ; hence they are cowards. Thy are
rebels, because they raise the standard of insurrec-
tion, wherever they are able, ag•ainst their I,giti-
mate Monarch, Louts XVIII. They are assassins;
Lyons, Grenoble, Marseilles, Avigoots, Ni•ntes,
Ste. prove the fact. Hence, then, it there be a newt
Revolution, it will be commenced by cowards, re-
bels, and assassins, For it is worthy of remark,
.r that all the disorders, all the insntrections, all the
Murders, have beet) organized and committed by
the Nobles, the Clergy, anti their adheients ; all
the rest of France is tranquil, and desires to re-
main so ; is happy under the wise and paternal
Government of Lours XVIII., and wishes no
other ; nay, is determined to support and main-
tains ir, against all attacks of itaitors, whether
they wear the mask of religion or of loyalty.—•
Should then these wretches, who are organizing
insurrections every where, dare to come to opera
rebellion,. it is a great consolation to know, not
only that the Government narrowly watches their
treason, but that the nation is ready to repel force
by force, and purge the land of those pests to so-
ciety.
P. S. The Censorship of the Press is taken off
to-day, in honour of his Majesty's happy return.
to his Capital, in 1814.
