LONDON,
THURSDAY, AUGUST 22.1816.

lYe have the Paris.Pap'ers of Monday, blit they
are almost barren of news. A Dutch Mail brings
more prominent, but, from the dates under which

it is given, we scarcely think more important in-
telligence. It relates to the re•organization of
the French Army, which it states at 206,000 !
Yet the Royallsreasury is said to be exhausted!
We cannot credit these rumours, which are prac-

tically contradicted by all the other Powers of
Europe reducing their Military Establishments.
A fracas has taken place at Mentz of nearly as
much consequence as our disturbance at Preston.
Invention has tagged something to the tail of it,
and swelled it into a—tub for the whale.

Acco►►nts were received this day, which fully
confirm the reports that the Dey of ALGIERS was
preparing fur au obstinate de knee against our
attack.

To-day we conclude the letter of M. Foncnr,
and its latter end hilly justifies what we said of
its beginning. We are not one iota the wiser
respecting the state of France than we were be-
fore it appeared, though %we are fully in posses-
sion of the plausible gloss which the ‘Vriter can

Put upon his own conduct. It is indeed a

)Those who do not feel regt et at see g the City
of London (as far as a Common 11411 of its
Citizens can make it) rendered contemptible end
ridiculous, may read without pain the report of
the Guildhall Meeting of yesterday. Those who
have hoped and wished better things of this por-
tiOn of the Metropolis will peruse with some sor-
row the senseless, vulgar, ignorant, and impu-
dent ribaldry which disgraced die occasion.
It would be a waste of reasoning to apply that
test to the drivt.lling senilities of the poor old crea-
ture who, began this precious discussion;---a de•
grad It ion of intellect to animadvert on thescurri-
tons impertinence of the younger worthy who
followed bbn ;—and Still more beneath the dignity
of a rational . being to stoop to combat with the
falsehood and effrontery of the third Speaker:

DOomed by our ollice to wade through this
mass of trash, we are free to say that there was
not one fact truly stated, one conclusion fairly
drawn, nor one sentenco grammatically 'meted,
throughout the whole 11(16416s: tWas the reign
of misrule—the very dregs of the dregs figured
in the front ranks, like CnntsvPna's tawdry
black Noblesse,: and Resolutions to which their
oratory paved thy way, only worthy of such HU
assemblage and of sack advocates, were passed by
acclamation.

The PRINCE REGENT was very ill on Monday
end Tuesday. His Royal Highness's disorder
was chiefly spasmodic. tin Tuesday he lost much
lilood, and was considerably relieved. , Yesterday
Sir WALTER FARCiIIHAR' went clown to Hampton,
and iniet the other Physicians. His Ronal-High-
ness was to hare held a Connell on Friday,
Carlton-house, to receive the .Racoautte's Re-
port ; but this, it is supposed, will be postponed,
for a few days. The circular Windsor letter says,
that' the QUEEN' and Patscessas were on their
way to Hampton on Tuesday, but 'returned to
Windsor, upon meeting the Duke of GANERIDGE,
who Mt-mimed them of the favourable change
which had taken place.
The Doke of CLARENCE rode out in his carriage
for the first time -on Monday since iudisposi-
lion. His Royal Highness's birth-day Was yes-
tetchy celebrated at Bushey, by a and supper
being given to the timestici. In the evening his
Royal Highness's tradesmen illuminated their
houses.

Yesterday morning the Duke and Duchess or
COMBIIIILAND went to Kew. The Duchrss re-
mained in her house there while the Duke %vent
on to Hampton Court to visit the PRINCE REGENT..
The Duke returned to Kew, and accompanied the
Duche,ts to London to dinner. 'ln the evening
their Royal Highness, honoured the Haymarket
Theatye with their 'presence, and sat in Mrs.
I,COUI'TIeII priVatt bos.
The Duke of KBST and suite embarked at Dover
Yesterday, in the Chichester .packet, Captain
itUTThtt, and sailed immediately for Calais.
The Princess CILARLOTTE lots a great dislike to
Camellord House, which is dull, close, and inenn-
vetiimit. But her Royal :Highness and the Prince
Lr husband, have resolved, rather than add to
the burthenkof the nation, to accept 'apartments
in KensingtOn"Palitce. They are to have ,those
former occupied by the Princess Of YALU, to
which the Duke of ICENT's will be annexed, dur-
ing his Royal Highness's absence on the Conti-
nent.

Lords LIVERPOO-L and SIDMOUTII. and Mr.
CANNISIG transacted busbies% yesterday tvith LOrd
CAhildiftEAGH, at the Foreign Office. His Lord-,
skip left town afterwards for his villa. ,
A very intelligent artificer has returned lately
from America, to which,be went upon a hope-of
finding beneficial employment. He states, that
the wages of workmen arc about four shillings
and six-pence a-day, English, but these are only
to be had for fire months Pit a year. Lodging is
much
.ilearer than in' Englandi provisions not
cheaper. He left numbers of English workmen
waiting to obtain a passage home.
BUO!kIAPARTE (says a letter of the 19th May;
from St.' lit Lena) is altered very much. He is
much lerukcii, become very corpulent, with a
largi: jowl, exceedingly sallow, and getting. bald.
He seldom dresses in uniform, and ill becomes
plain clothes. When my friend saw hint, he wore
a green coat (a colour he is very fond of). 'Lie
butt Ons all bore devices of various animals, ,such
as badgers, dogs, foxes, &c. from which we con-
cluded it was his Insuring coat, though be could
limn little else but rats: Pheasants and pittrWges
are in übtindance (the former of a very beautiful
plumage), and some is ild peacocks.
