htIVATE T.UTTEIt.

AVIIMIT IS.
a We have been encamped "ft iSiitrinsps Elysies
(tier since the %th 4h* I and, tor my 'part, I now be-
gin to get sick of the Metropolis of France. Most of
the army, too, are heartily tired of it, and have been
looking for a general movement taking place, which
has been much talked of lately. The Prussians, for
the mos.. p.m, have already marched hence, and we
hope soon to reach the destination pointed out for us
to occupy in this country. Paris As in perfect tran-
quillity, that is to say, as far as public demonstration
of party goes: as to public opinions, loyalty and af-
fection to the Sovereign, that is quite another thing.
I believe the French care not who is King, so it be
not Louie It Deride, as they ironically call hiM.
14 Paris itself has not been injured by the war.
As to the few articles taken from the Louvre by
order of Prince Blucher, in order to be returned to
Berlin, I make no account of them. France is to all
intents and purposes a conquered -nation; and I
heartily wish she were made to disgorge aU the spoils
the so barbaronsly script from the countries which she'
subdued. That part of Frahce which our army
pissed over, in its march to the capital, sustained
little damage, compared with the ravages committed
by the French armies, which I have myself witnessed,
in Spain and Portugal. But for all this, loud com-
plaints have been and are daily made against the be-
haviour of our allies, who are most cordially hated
by the Parisians. To be sure, never was such a
mixture of nations and tongues met together as com-
pose the troops now in and about Paris. Both the
Prussians and Austrians are fine-looking men, at
least such as I have seen of them at Paris. The
Russians are said to be even superior to both; but,
with the exception of a few Cossacks, it has not been
my lot to see so many of them together as would en-
able me to judge of them as an army. Hitherto we
have had little reason to complain of a scarcity of
provisions, as the markets have been pretty well sup-
plied."

Last night we received Frankfort Papers to the Otli
and Brussels to the 13th. The principal article in the.
latter is the anewer of Mr. de ElociexpottP to the Ad-
dress of the KING of the NETHERLA NDS. It is precisely
such as might have been expected. The Dutch and
the Brabanters promise themselves much happiness
and great prosperity under their new Constitution,
and from present appearances there is every prosper:
that they will not be disappointed. They have adoptel
the best possible means to gain their object, by in-
suring equal rights to all, with the free profession of
every creed ; without pretending to lay down all the
details, but leaving to experience and time, under a
representative Government, gradual), to perfect its
institutions. •

Having the alliance of all she Great Powers, and
particularly the concurrence of this country in the
extension of its maritime pursuits, they may now
promise thehiselves much commercial prosperity.
Lord •BouNcanoge, in a letter to Lord PROM,
clued April 20, 1711, says—

" The last and the great sale of the British inte-
rest was made in the Barrier Treaty. Under the'
pretence of rendering Holland safe, we have done
our part to render it formidable. This is certain, we
have given to the Dutch, by that infamous compact,
extent of country, the only thing they wanted to
enable them to be superior to us in trade."

What would Lord BOLINGBROKE have said to our
'setting up a King of Belgium d Yet we do not
mean to say or insinuate any thing against the expe-
diency of this measure in the present conjuncture.

The following we have received from Switzerland:
a GUILT*, Jinx 26.

M Madam Letitia, the mother of Napoleon, Hortence, the
Ez-Queen of Holland, and Cardinal Pesch, accompanied by
Mara, Duke of Bassano, and Ex•Sccreury of State, have been
here, and what is extremely remarkable, they were provided
with passports with the signatures of Ling Loeb and the Em-
peror Alexander. I believe they are now gene, or at leset some
of them, as they boy not lately made 'their appearance, and
Most glad we shall be to be rid of arch mischievous and clanger-
ens vbkors.
0 The Austrians under Oen. Frinsont, 60,000 strong, arrived
just in time to rescue us from our difficulties. They have pre-
served the best discipeoe, have fought v. idt the most determined
valour, bet I doubt have suffered dreadfully in the defiles.
" Our city guard consisted at 4,000 men, and with their 'a-
lliance we should have been able to have defended our walls
'foe about three days, which interval was sufficient to have ena-
bled the Swiss army to have marched to our succour. Our com-
munication was entirely cut off by the enemy, ez:epting on the
side of the Lake."

Last evening, a few minutes before six o'clock, the
Plums Rkoept arrived in town from Brighton.
Sir Humors Lows transacted business yesterday
and on Monday at the Szeretary of State's Office.
• Yesterday, about half-past three o'clock, Mr. JOHN•
sort, the King's Messenger, arrived from Paris.
Lord Haulm, who embarked on Saturday last at
Brighton for France, took with him no less than four
carriages, and a complete set of horses.
Yesterday was the anniversary of BONAPARTK'S
birth-day. Whit a co'urast between his situation two
years ago and now I Yet he may repeat what he said

and I leave off rich."
The story copied from the Bath paper. with the
well connected fable about Bostaianet's letters being
picked up it sea, is said to be a fabrication.
The unfortunate patients in Bethlem Hospital were
on Monday removed to the new Lunatic 4sylum in
St. George's Fields, which is now completed for their
reception; •
