elotrbtrtlly t uo, that the Kin° sent the suet of 600 francs to each
of the principal churches at Paris, to purchase masses for the
soul bf LAOS oov In a. it is equally certain, that the English ea-
tiOn are out cf favour at Courts 'When TA LLETRANIO and
leucite asked (rave to resign, the Kinn apprized them that he
Would refer their application to the Duke of W. and Lord C.
and be governed by their opinions.
" A day Or two afterwards, TALLITRAND asked if his Ma-
jail had made up his mind upon the subject—for it was still his
wish to retire 1--6 Well, (said the King) I accept your resigna-
tion.' This was without wailing for the answer of the Britieh
Arbitrators, although his Majesty bad declared both to them and
to his Ministers, that their decision should settle his own.
4' The Duke's measures with regard to the paintings and me..
numents, measures which *ere actually forced upon him by the
manifold evasions of the French Ministers, and were at worst
resorted to on the sane grounds and principles of public justice,
as the House of Bourbon itself alleges in support of its title to
the French Crown, have produced on the part of many members
of the Court, the bitterest expressions of resentment against his
Grace and the English Army.
" I presume you have heard rho languseeascribed to the Duke

"alt is considered a settled thing that we are to
remain at Pans during the winter. The k•ven divi-
sions into which the Diitish forces are now distri.
bu:ed, are, it is said, to be compressed into four,
which will be the means ot- a great reduction
of the Commivariat and Collateral Staffs. The pay.
ment of the contributions imposed on Pans is pro.
needing rapidly; but with great ill-humour on the
part of the contributors. The general opinion here
is, that the present tranquillity is not likely to be
of very long duration. It is only now that the
French begin to feel the effects of bring obliged to
support the Allied Armies. In thy first instance
the burthen was light; but as time advanced
the continuance of it came to press more heavi y;
and-now that the means are exhausted, and Vie drain
to be kept up for years, the greatest ill-humour pre-
vails, as well on account of present suffering as of
the future prospect. No peeple on earth are so
much annoyed by heavy taxes and contribtrions
as the French ; and to he obliged to pay them
by right of conquest to foreign troops that levy
them. at the paint of the bayonet. is not only
painful to their avarice, and distressing to their
penury, but galling to'their pride also, which even
now is inflamed, though with a fire smothered for a
time by circumstances, rather than reduced by in-
sult and subjugation, thit must be submitted to,
through the want of adequate means of resistance.
—Bat you can easily see in every one who has
to take his passing shore of the burthens and in-
sults, the same provoked countenance, the same
wistful look for future satisfaction, the shrug, the
grimace, the eye lifted up in agony and desire,
the_ sigh, die groan, the threat expressed in a
single word, when prudence will not permit them to
make use of more, such as M bien—snit —bientot, '
&c. very well— be, it so—but—bye and bye—and
similar hints, from which it is easy to perceive what
we have to aspect if ewer they should find an
opportunity. It would probably be nothing less than
another massacre of St. Bartholomew, if we should be
taken off our guard ; bat hope we will continue to
keep too careful a watch to admit a surprise."

• BMW-I'lON, ()Cr. 30.
The weather here continues inclement, but the rains
have not been so heavy since Friday as for many
days previous, though scarcely an hour since has
passed without a shower. '1 he wind last night,
rather suddenly, chopped to the north, gathering
almost to a hurricane, and becoming many degrees
colder. The Thomas packet, in the evening, with
about thirty passinrgers, stood for France, but the
violent and increasing gale rendered the clearing of
Beachy Head, with the wind in the northern quarter,
dangerous. The vessel, therefore, was beating about
in this part of the Channel all night, the sea running
mountains high ; and this morning the passengers
returned to shore.

To MARINERS.—We learn that a Buoy of large
dimensions is placed near the Russel Rock, Guernsey.
It is painted black, with 44 Gmentros 1815," on the
bottom, with white letters on a red ground; this
Buoy is close to the south bead of the dangers of the
rock and all its sunken heads., and on the flood or
ebb tides, rides about 18 feet from the Rock; there-
fore, all Commanders of vessels should notice, that
the clang, r extends in a north-east direction from the
Buoy, one cable's length, or about 120 lathoms ;
and that, to avoid all dangers, the Buoy must be
kept from at least 150 fathoms on the north-east di-
rection, but in all other directions it may belt 2-
proacbed within 60 fathoms.
