WHITtIVIO ND A T.--Holiday at the Bank.

Formes Report on the State of France [see the
.AR ••• .-aturday] was followed by a Decree of N.
'LECA, reviving all the revolutionary laws of pains,
• nalties, confiscation, and death, against Emigrants
all adherents of the Bounsox Family—under the
ale pretext that singular times require singular
.rasures. Thus the New Constitution, pretended to
re been given to France, is proved to have been a
•re trick :—* juggle to procure the acquiescence of
ne men to what may be considered as ISoNarateres
liminary steps for the resumption of undefined,
at is unlimited power, and, as will soon be made
inilest, the revival of his mad project of 44 the
-itnd Empire"—or, in plain language, of Universal
ownion!
Has he cheated the Republicans ? or have they
illy been induced to forego all their principles, and
concede to the Tyrant the resumption of Rule

shout any other law than that of his own will ?
e think the former is the case. Our Readers may
:ollect that on the Coalition taking place between
and them ;—on his submitting to the stipulations
which they were willing he should be allowed to
gn, we mentioned the probability that they would
am that moment endeavour to circumvent the pro.
•its of each other, and that the probability was that
axitraare, by means of the army and the iafluence
nnected with patronage, would prove the stronger
the two in the art of cheating. The event has
rifled our opinion.

But however this may be the open and undisguised

iumption of the •ile principles which had nearly
iced all Europe, leaves no choice to the other
)wers but that of individual and mutual defence.
BONAPARTE can so soon disregard his solemn pro
:se to the people of France, when cajolling them

ch the farce of a new Constitution, what reliance

n be placed on his professions of desire to maintain
_ace with other people ? Peace indeed ! Yes, if he
.uld lull them by the pleasing word into a state of
racily and false security, they would have that
!ace that the lion gives to the prey which he leaves
ideroured till he is hungry.
The undisguised resumption of the revolutionary
• .sterr may be considered favourable to the cause of
e Allies. The Report admits the existence of par.
es inimical to the authority of BONAPARTE—that
:ey are alarming and numerous. The new Decree will
crease their number ; and it is far from being int-
, risible that the party which principally called back
lAPOLZON, may now exert themselves to dethrone
im. We know, and on the best authority, that this
eery party offered the Crown of France to the Duke
-I ORLEANS. BONAPARTE has deceived them, and it is
ertainly possible that they may now be forced, ffkim
ctual experience, into the conviction, that the royal
romise of Louts XVIII. may be relied on, while
•hat of BONAPARTE is not worth a rush.

Yesterday we received the Paris Papers of Thurs-
!ay. BoNAPARTZ was still there—aad, as we have
-epeatedly stated, we think he is afraid to quit his
fen. He knows that he has incurred the hatred of
men whom he has outwitted, and he will be slow
3 give them any advantage by withdrawing from
locus of action. These papers, except in as far
as they tend to chew the existence of a spirit decidedly
loyal, in different departments, are comparatively
unintcresting.—That this spirit exists very exten-
sively is proved by all our private accounts, and in-
iked by th,• arrival in our out-ports of French Offi-
c.rs uho are debuting in great nurnhert, and come
t. our ports as the surest means for being enabled to
in the stindard of the KING.—See the letters sub-
:, ncd to t.ur Army article.

This morning a Mail from Flanders arrived. The
rtiligence which it has conveyed to us is interesting.
`i'.ie dispatch published at Vienna from MURAT, so.
Iziting an Armistice, is a curious document. It &s-
-ilty: much duplicity and low cunning, mixed with
t,e most abject and contemptible fawning. He is
.Ifact beaten at all points.
