PRUSSIAN PROTECTION.

Our Readers cannot have forgotten the &graceful
tranfaaions %Cilia; occurred at Bareuth three years
;Igo, when. at the requifitinn of the French Govern.
meet, the Ceuta de Precy, count la Chapelle, Im-
bert-Colornes, an old Prefident of 84, years of age,
and four or five more perfons, were ;wetted upon a
look iteeufat inn of a fulpicions correfpondence againfl
Bonaparte, and were thrown into prifon. They were
deprived of every article that they had about them,
knives, kalifs, rec. and remained in confinement for
two years. They were then tried, and nothing being
proved again(t them, were acquitted, but obliged to
pay the expences of their trial. What fatisfaltion
did the Pruffian Government require for having been
made the initruinent of fueh an aft of injoftice ? We
never heard of any. The intimacy and friendfbip of
the two Powers do not appear to have been at all dif...
curbed, for foray an congratulations could have been
warmer than thofe prefented by the Marquis de Luc.
chefini upon the Imperial dignity having been made
hereditary in the aughfl family of the Corfican. But
the tranfaCtionssa Bareuth are pofitive humanitycom-
pared with the events at Warfaw. It was upon the
exprefs invitation of the King of Pruffia, that Louis
the XVIII. and his family chofe Warfaw for their
place of refidence. There at haft they had a right to
expea proteflion; and though they could not fu ppofe
that the Pruffian Government would take any Reps to
drive from the Throne the Ufurper of their rights,
they mtift Curtly have imagined that it would have
fhielded them from any attack which the Ufurper
might make upon their lives.--It may be Paid that the
exittence of the plot has not been legally proved.
Whole fault was it that it was not legal& proved ?
Bat enough has been proved to juflify us in alerting,
that a plot was formed to take away by poifon, in the
Prtafinn territories, the lives of Louis XVIII. and
his family, and that Proffitt did not extend to them
the rights of hofpitality, by not affording them ade-
quate proteCtion. As loon as the plot was known,
the PrulLan Governor was required to take the proper
meafures—he declined. The Direaor of the Police
was required with equal folemnity—he alto declined.
For the fake of our argument, it is no matter whe-
ther the plot was invented by Coulon or not. The
Governor and the Police refuted to adopt any ma-
tures whatever to afeertain whether it was or not, and,
fur any tteps which they took to prevent it, Louis the
Eighteenthaand his whole family, might have been
alLffniated,Oer the Prtallan Government and Police
had been informed that they were intended to be a(.
faffinated. What a wretched fubterfuge was it to *f-
ledge that the laws did not authorife the arreft of Coo-
lon—that the affair belonged to the Criminal Tribu-
sal—that the adoptionof the proper matures did not
belong to the Governor-Mere evalicnil Is not the
police in every country competent to take up and try
a perfon accreted of a great crime ? Were the Pruffian
laws In tender and indulgent at Bareuth? There,
lon tbe.firj rep pion from Bonaparte. the Police could
(cite all the perfons obqoxious to the Ufurper, and
keep them in the molt rigorous confinement. Did
Louis the XVII!. defire any unneceffary feverity—
any unufual txtenfion of the laws? No; he only made
the fame requeft which the poorek peafant might
have d0ne...41c applied to the Government to protest
him, and to afeertain whether a plot had or had- not
been loaned aeaintt him.
Deprived e(hat proteftion, what was the fituation
of Louis the XVIII. and his whole Family ? They
were no better than outlaws; wretched outlaws, who
might be murdered without their aft:Zits being pu-
nilhed.,--Bonaparte might fend perfons topoifon them,
they might be poifoned ; and, protated by the Com.
mercial Agent, the affaffins, according to the doctrine
and courfe purfued at Warfaw, would efcape all pu-
nifhment, and walk abroad with perfea impunity

On Therfday evening, about (even o'clock their
Mai ssris s, accompanied by the Dukes if KENT
and GLOUCEETER, can e from the peen's Lodge to
Windtor Teriace : the weather being rental kably
fine, and it being the Lift evening previous to the

verted with feveral of the Nobility. The bands of the
Duke of RINI- and the 9th Regiment of Light Dra-

Family left the Terrace, and retired to the Cattle,
where they had a felt & party.

tachment of Guards doing duty at Windfur, and the
9th Regiment of Light Dra nons, marched from the

which they formed a line. Great numbers of fpec-
tators NOV attraeted to the Ipot, to fee the depar-
ture of the Royal Family. At half pall nine, the
Royal Family and Attendants came out of the
Lodge, and went in their carriages in the following
order --

Snomscurra, Auo. as.—The Duke of You ar-
rived from Dover at General Moue's, at Sandgate,
refterday, and dined there. On the preceding even-
ing the.Dungenefs fquadron arrived in. Sandgate
Roads, dole under the camp. The fqnsdron con-
fined of the Aura?, of 64 guns ; Lsourrei, so ;
Lsoa frigate, and feveral fmaller (hips of war.' No.
rice was given that his Royal Highnefs would re.
view the troops precifely at feven this morning, at
which time they were all drawn out. They confin-
ed of I I companies of the Rifle regiment, eon.
raining about Soto men ; of the 4th Regiment of
Foot, confiderably more than a thoufand ftrong; of
the sad, and 41d. Thefe art all in the camp. The
s9th came and joined the Ike from Hythe barracks.-
but they are weak in numbers. The Rifles took slit
right of the wing ; the 4th next them ; and the
'whole, with Artillery, being General Mooas's bri-
gade, amounted to about 4000 men. There was no
cavalry.
Exactly ;Oliver; o'clock the Duke of You came
on the ground. The (hips of war in the Roads each
fainted him, and the Artillery on the ground of re-
view, fainted him about the fame time ; the firing
had a very fineefFed. The bands of each regiment
fainted the Duke as he palled along the line ; the re-
gimen's then palled in quick and flow time, and
matched admirably. They formed in column, and
went through fevers! maticeuvre., one of which was
very pieturefque. The Rifle and Artillery advanced
to the brow of the hill that ovetlooks the lea, and
covered the advance of the troops in marching
againtt a fuppofed enemy landing. The Rifles next
retired behind the line, which advanced and fired.
The Rifles and Artillery advanced again in front of
the iiiie, and covered the retreat of the main body
After a few manoeuvres, the brigade formed on the
brow of Game netts hills hanging over a valley,
thr,ugh which a final brook run., hills riling on the
'oppotite fide. The Rifles lined the hedges, and fired
through them at the fuppofed enemy, while the artil-
lery played tram the heights. Under this cover the'
brigade in line advanced down the hill, the Rifles re-
tired into their rear, and the brigade m.sue the grand
attack. After firing for fome time the brigade re-
tired, the Rifles again advancing to cover the re-
treat up hill. When at the top of the hill the bri-
gade made 4 nand and fired generally, the Artillery
firing very brifkly. The whole of the troops then
returned to .their original grnnnd in (tont .of the
camp, when, after the itfual f4lutes, the Duke of
You took bit leave. The whole of the Review was
conduCted pith the greaten order ; nn minake occur-
red ; and the troops 'hewed themfelves to be fome
the bell di(ciplined in the fervice. The effect of the
Rifles firipg irregularly in the front was beautiful ;
and, in an engagement, it was the general opinion
it would have been very efleftual. The Rifles are a
very fine body of men, and very attire. After the
Review, the Duke of You went to Hrthe, to fee
the t4th Dragoons; from thence he was to go to
Brabnurn Lees, and then to Aftsford, to fee the
two brigades there. The Review concluded at Shorn-
chile about half part ten o'clock.
