LONDON.
MOND4Y, Aid R 4, fBl6.

We have a variety --of• French, Dutch,- and
German Pipers, but nothing- material emetics' 'to'
interrupt the even current.of Continental Atl4rri.,
France;-recently so dreadfully agitated, Still beavin
a little., hut is sinking into qtriesceney, and in-a
short period
.will not furnish so much as a paltry
riot in a cabaret, to keep alive the hopes of the
Eaction either in that country or in this. .
We have in these hurnals several conjectures
about the Duke of WELLIMGTOI4, and the reason
for his remaining at Paris beyond the periol re-
port had chalked out for his leaving it. We
only take upon ourselves to say, that these guesses
are all erroneous.

There 113VC been great rejoicings at Arnsteiljn,
during the residence of the King of the Nettbfigfr
lands; and the birtlt-day of PlineellezznEarcK,

and the wedding•dayr of the Pringle of Oissait
have been eomme(norated by balls sad new pod
ductions at the Thiatre, whither., the Royal FamPY
went. They have returned to the Hague.

I Not an art has been left unpractised to keep
lalive the ferment in the country about the Prom
petty Tax, and many Petitions have been °frijo-
lad against that most necessary and salutary ma-

!tamed to honour and gratitude for having msit'
fully come forlard -with the wisest plan tilevor
any Statesmen could devist for the welfare of toe
Country, hi dotiance of party misrepresentatioa
and popular prejudice.
It has been said, that the Continuance Of the
Tax is a breach of faith. %%'e deny it—it is 1111••
pos•ible under any circumstances that it could

It has been said, that Minister's 'threatened the
People with worse Taxes, if their appeal to r3r-

false. Thire has heenno threat. Ministers
stated, and most truly, for no man of villv

'tither measures which mutt be substituted Wit'
will be tenfold more injurious to the Country.'
This is a notorious fact—a melancholy one,
