SANDWICH SESSIONS, APRIL 14, 1814.

VIE KING v. DIAJOIt cottoost„
This day at half-past ten o'clock the witnesses on
behalf of the prosecution in this case were sworn b
fore the Mayor, %tenant) Emstensom, Egg. the
corder, W. F. 13oTuett, E,q. and the Jurats..%f
Borough, and the Bill was sent up with the wilts, s—s
to the Grand Jury, that they might reins n it tit,.e-
as true or false. The private examination of the evi-
dence lasted until three o'clock, wheat the Foreman
delivered in the indictment for Murder as A true Bill.
The testimony on both sides being Iwo, vo:uniincus,
the Court adjourned until nine o'clock to-morrow
morning, when the ttial still be commenced.

M. de Chateaubriand h ,s addretse I the following
letter to the Editors of the Paris Papers :
4‘ It was natural enough that in the first moments
of our freedom the august Princes who entered our
w-lls should alone excite the transports of our grad.
tude. We were justly dazzled, and shall preserve an
eternal tecillect:on of the magnanimity of Alexander,
and the successor of the Great Frederick. It was also
with a feeling of admiration that our eyes were fixed
upon the Austrian Generalissimo, who reminded us of
:he greatness of the sacrifices of his vi,tuous and
worthy master. , The other Sovereigns in the holy
league will be always dear to France, for the love
they !sear our King, and the hatred they have vowed
to our tyrant. liut not a single Frei:climan has for-
gotten what he owes to the Prince It. gent of England
and the noble people who have so deeply contributed
to our deliverance. Tlle standard of Elizabeth floated
in the armies of Henry IV.: it re-appears in the bat-
talions that restore us L• uis XVI [I. We are too sen-
sible of glory nut to admire Lord We:lington, who
retraces in so striking a manna the virtues and the
talents of our 'Furrow...

" Are we not moved to tears, when we see this
truly great man promise, on wir retreat iron' Portu-
gal, two guineas tor each Fitnch prisoner that should
be brought in alive. By the sole moral force of his
character, more even than by the vigour of military
discipline, he suspended miraculously, ti entering
-nr provinces, the resentment of the Portuguese and
the vengeance of the Spaniards ; in short, it is under
ins standard that the first cry of Vivo le Rol! awoke
our unhappy country. Instead of a captive King of
France, the new Black Prince brings back to Bour-
&aux a King of France delivered. When King John
was sent to London, touched with the generosity of
Edward, he attached himself to his conquerors, and
returned to die in the land of his captivity, as if he
had foreseen that that land would become the last asy-
lum of the last branch of his race, and that one -day
the descendants of the Talbot), and Chandoses would
gather up the proscribed posterity of the La Hires asisa
lluguesciine.—l am, &c. (Signed)
" DE CHATEAUBREARD."
PRIVATE LET I EL

" Coast of France, Wednesday, April 13, 11114.

" On Saturday last Bonaparte was still at Foa-
tainbleau ; he would not move without his wife and
child ; these the Emperor of Austria would not con-
sent should join him from Blois, where they still were.
Bonaparte remained with about 3000 troops, chiefly
Poles, who continued with him, ignorant of what
reception they might meet with from their old Mtster„
the Emperor of Russia ; to whom, when their fears
were made known t he sent a pardon to them with-
out reserve. It was therefore expected that he would
be on Monday last nearly, if not quite, deserted.
" The Emperor of Russia has gained the hearts
of the country most completely, by his mild, liberal
conduct ; and if no demand is made on France as a
reimbursement, which teems the general fear, the
Allies will be deified. The Russians keep the most
exact discipline at Paris. A lady was passing along
the Punt de Jena, when a Russian soldier caught a
gold chain, to which a watch was suspended, from
round her neck ; she complained Immediately to an
Officer near ; the man was pointed out, the Officer
dinrsetwanhtliys. veswreocrodarendd
theran chain,tbe man through
and through the
body
delivered
them to the complainant : an eye-witness mentioned
the fact to me last night.
,4 Here every thing is as quiet and tranquil as if no
change had taken place. I was received extremely
well, passed through the investigations, and not a
sous demanded. nor any passport—beini English was
sufficiept. Several Zoolish are ben flora Dover."

ILLUMNA7/ONS.—The villages near, I,,ondon have
not been behind the Metropolis in the zeal with which
they have illuminated to commemorate the recent
grand events, nor in the v.:riety of their transparen•
'veg. Richin Ind, Kew, E thing, ( where Mrs. SPEW:EI(
PERCIVAL and f., roily reside), Old Brentford and
Breutlord, Aezoin tee. were lighted most exten-
sively ou Tuesday night. Old Brenttond and New
-Bientford, in particulan, presented a most novel and
inteiesting sight. The windows wee not only lite-
rally filled with candles, laurel, white cockades, Ecc.
but candles were placed: with the greatest profusion
'along the leads over the shop
.fronts, and also en the
roof: of the hauses ! The evifect which this curious dis-
play had, may be better imagined than described.—
The transparencies, of which there were many, were
all expressive of joy at the Tyrant's downfall ;. of ex-
ultation at the perseverance of England ; and of gra-
titude to the Monarchs of the Continent, for the 'nag-
nanicaous conduct they have displayed throughout the
contest. White flags alongside British colours, for an
Englishman in times of rejoicing can never forget his
:.'anti happy land, were every where waving ; and at the
water side, opposite Kew Palace, were planted some
statvll pieces of nrdnance, which were fired almost
every 10 minutes throughout the day and night. Beer
and other refreshments sy.tre given away by the Gentry
in the neighbourhood; and, as might be expected,
Brentford was crowded witljlispectators from all parts.
In the course of our walks through the King's-
road on the three illumination nights, we Were highly
gratified by the singularly beautiful and nouvelle ap-
pearance of Grant's Cottage, opposite Collville's
Gardens ; it was lighted up in a blaze of magnificent
lights, with bows and devices of green laurel in full
bloom, interspersed with the white national cockade of
France itriciflours & kt, cottage is occupied, we
understand, by the widow of a naval Officer, and did
great credit to her taste and strict attaement to the
true cause.

Among the Transparencies en Monday, Tuesday,
and Wednesday, the Rebuck, ( Mr. Jackson's) nion-
street, Southwark, displayed one of peculiar felicity
of thought, and chasteness of device and expression.
The motto was s. The Reward of Perseverance is
Peace." The word Reward was entwined by the
Laurel, Perseverancc by the Rose, the Thistle, and
the Shamroc ; and Peace, by a branch of Laurel.
GENERAL kinVE.—A letter from Dublin, dated
April 16, says, " The Liverpool packet that ar-
rived yesterday mer.ning. conveyed to our shore a
Gentleman whose name was familiar to the Public in
the memorable year of 179 h, Mr.JOSEiII Hoir. This
Gentleman, in the county cf Wicklow, at the unfor-
tunate period we have mentioned, was known by the
name of General Holt, and by compromise with the
Government of the day, was transmitted to New
SouthWalcs—it happened strangely, that Mr.Fareell,;
- Chief Peace O(bcer of the IleAd Divisional Police.
Office in this city, came over in the same packet with
Mr. Holt, and upon arrival at the Pigeonliouie yes.
terday, an explanation occurred, when Mr. H. pro.
doted a pardon fr(.m the Governor of New South
Wales, his'Excellency L. Macquarrie, under date a
the lit of January, Inll, by which it appeared that
• discretionary power had been vested in his Excel-
sency by the British Legislature to mutter persons of
good conduct to return to chase countries. The docu-
ment appearing to be authentic, Mr. H. was not de-
tained. We understand that Mr. Holt was a pas-
, seager in the sante vessel with Sir K flit wn
that was stated to be lost by shipwreck. Mr. r 7. is
said to have amassed a considerable sum of 'meney,
and availing himself of the killettt, pd. 'forgiving
dispositions of the Govern inevitt twis ititeratsed- an
settling in his native country.
