the directions of the Holy Mice : we cannot, there-
fore, expect any private communications of interest
from the Peninsula until some new convulsion takes
place.
By an article from Naples it appears, that some
attentions have been paid to the present Royal Fa-
mily by the Officers of the British ships of war on
that coast. The intention of such articles is evident
--it is highly necessary to the purposes which King
JOACIIISI has in view, to hold ouran idea that he and
the English Nation are upon the best terms. The
result of the Congress at Vienna will probably asto-
nish the former Gentleman and his partizan:.
.An article from Geneva states, that the wife of
LOUIS BONAPARTE, who was about to visit Aix, had
retraced her steps, probably on account of a wish to
avoid meeting the Archduchess MARIA LOUISA.—
There seems to be no ground for apprehension that
the lather will ever regain the society of BONAPART&
in Elba.

Yesterday, about two o'clock, the Panicle REGENT
left town for Hampton Court. After inspecting the
Palace and his stud, his Royal Highness dined with
General BLOOMFIELD, at his house there.
Pnisetse or WALas.—lt- would appear that her
Royal Highness is certainly about to leave this coun-
try immediately, as we learn that the Jason' frigate,
the Hon. Captain KING, sailed from the Downs on
Wednesday morning, at four o'clock, for Worthing,
to be in attendance on her Royal Highness, and as it
was understood, to convey her R•ryal Highness to
some continental port.—lt is said that her Royal
Highness the Princess of WALES, in her letter to the
Earl of Livanroot., announcing her desire f going
abroad, complains of the mortification: she has met
with in this country ever since she entered it, assn Ted
only by the affectionate protection she received from
his MAJESTY, to the last hraar of his mental intelli-
gence. Deprived of this counten ince, she Irad no tie
left but her Daughter, and her society she was no
longer pet :pitted to enjoy ; and farther, that in her
letter she offers to resign the Rangership of Greenwich
Park in favour of the Princess CHARLOTTE, and that
she wishes to keep her apartments in Kensington Pa•
lace for a short time.

The following are reported to be the principal terms
to be proposed by the British Commissioners at Ghent,
to the American negotiators:

The British fisheries connected with mu North Ame-
rican territories, not to be, under any circomstances,
encroached upon by the citizens of th: United States.

. .
The whole of the'Llakcs, especially Lakes Ontario
and Erie, to be exclusively British.

No forts of any description to be constructed in the
neighbourhood of these Lakes. on Republican ground.

The Ohio to be the limit of the territory of the
United States, and the Indians to be guaranteed the
possessions and hunting grounds north and west of
that riser.

The affairs of Switzerland, we regret to say, are in
a very troubled state. Bonarsete's tyranny was of that
nature, that it at once crashed both the dissatisc-
sions which had previously *aimed, and those which
itself created : now that it is eilihdraire, they book
forth. The Bernese are dissatisfied that the Allies
have not restored the Pays-de-Vaud and Argovia to
them: but the Vaudois are determined against submis-
sion, or union, except as an independent canton ; and
the people of Argovia would rush to arms rather than
acknowledge themselves as dependent on the Bernese.
A few weeks ago, a conspiracy was formed at So.
leure, to take possession of the town, and depose the
ruling party. At the head of this plot was a man of
considerable abilities...who had formerly been a mem-
ber of administration, and who %yds to have climbed
over the walls, and opened the gates to his followers :
but in dropping from the ramparts he fell upon same
spikes, and discovered his situation by his cries. No
time was lost in deliberation. The Magistrates im.
mediately ordered out the military, and dispatched
an officer to Berne, requesting assistance speedily ;
but the insurgents hearing of the fate of their leader,
and that a large force was approaching, hastily dis-
persed. The ill success of this conspiracy at Solcure
is said to have prevented the execution of a similar
one against Berne. How much these plots and
counterplots resemble those which took place in all
the petty States of Greece, during the war of the
Spartan and Athenians.
A German Paper writes strongly in favour of the
Liberty of the Press :—" If all the scandalous acts of
enormity and oppression, exercised by the French in
Germany," says the writer, ft were insufficient to ex-
cite an insurrection, it will be difficult to 'produce tu-
mult and insubordination by discussion alone. it can-
' not, surely, he so dangerous to point out what is bad as
to practice it. Those who endeavour to discriminate
between what is good and what is reprehensible, are
the, best friends of the public welfare and security.
There is no man stupid enough to wish to overturn the
thrones of his native land ' it as rather the general wish
to support them r that then external and internal.
strength may afford the people a pledge of future re-
pose and security. The people wish their Sovereigns
powerful, because they feel deeply the effects •of their
I humiliation by the hand of an enemy ; but they wish
thefts to be powerful in peace, by the same means
which made them powerful in war, the free will, the
love, and the enthusiasm of their subjects, and their
reigning agreeably to the rules of justice and equity,
implanted by nature in the human heart. There are
persons, however, whom this obedience will not suit,
who wish to govern alone through force, who wish to
erect again the old Tower of Babel, that insignificance
and corruption may find a protection ; who exclaim
against uproar and commotion, when fire has been set
to a few withered trunks, for the sake of affording air
and light to the young shoots. Many of des desert:J.
tion of individuals arc sincere in their opinion, being
led into error from a certain feebleness and timidit) of
nature ; but others are the creaturvs of eepravtiy, and
the best t sends of the expelled French, se,.o rt.clon
upon them with every degree of contideie e and sccu
rity. Neither of these two classes, however, can I .a.t
us from our path, because we give no credence to the
one, and hold the other in too great contempt. So
long as the church 'edit int is attacked, we will ma
leave the field of battle, nor will tie re u7n to our usual
occupations,. till we hate achieve.l the cotiqueA of our
rcpbe."
