FROM THE FRENCH FRONTIERS, JUNE L

The departure of his Grace the Duke of Welling-
ton for Paris, was hastened by the arrival of several
couriers at Cambray. It is thought that the late Con-

ventions with' the Allied Powers for the regulation of
another affait, requires his presence at Paris. It seems
certain that the Duke is to be present at the Congress
of the Sovereigns s this is the reason that the review
of the British troops is deferred till the autumn•
The review of the Russian army has answered, all ex-
pectations.' His Excellency Count Worunzow gave

a magnificent entertainment to his imperial Highness
the Grand Duke Michael, who immediately pro-
ceeded on his journey to England. Among the Offi-
cers lately promoted to active service, there are (as
was also the case in the first promotion) no superior
officers.

Private accounts from Paris state, that what are
called the Ultra-Royalists in France, have appealed
to the Allied Powers against the present Ministry,
and the system alleged to be pursued by them;
re-
presenting the danger that must result to the existing
settlement, should the Army of Occupation be with-
drawn, while the KING continues in their hands, and
is directed by their councils. This fact, if true, chews
how far the affairs of France are from being yet
placed on a settled basis; but it may proceed merely
from exaggerated fears, and these fears may rest on
the nature of their own prospects or desires, which,
for the peace of mankind, it is to be hoped they may
never be able to realize. Ultras of every description,
no matter where, are dangerous characters, and their
aims should be continually watched by all sober and
rational men. They ever labour at impossibilities—
they seek to make the Sun go backward.
From another fact it would appear that the repre-
sentation of the Ultras will receive but little atten-
tion. It is known that the Houses of HOPE and
BARINO have contracted to advance to the French
Government a Loan of about Fonrteen Millions ster-
ling, in the contingency of the Army of Occupation
bang withdrawn in the course of this year. If it be
withdrawn, of course this Loan will be wanted, and
it is obvious that such a bargain would not have
been made, but on the strong probability of this
event taking place--or, in plain terms, on an under-
standing that the Allies were inclined to withdraw
their troops in the course of this year.

Mails have arrived since our last from Hamburgh
and Holland. The Russian squa.r.on now cruising
in the Baltic, will, it is supposed, be employed in
carrying home the Russian contingent from France,
in the event of its being determined to withdraw the
Allied troops. The transports having on board the
Russian crews of the vessels sold to Spain, had passed
the Sound, on their way to Cronstadt, on the 28th
ultimo.—An idle report is in circulation, that the
Southern Provinces of the Netherlands are to be se-
parated from the Northern, and the latter united with
the kingdom of Hanover. A dreadful fire broke out
at Goltnow on the sth of May, which in a few hours
consumed sixty houses, with the barns and subling
belonging to them.—The Kix° of Paussui and his
eldest son are now on their way to Moscow ; and the
EMPEROR of RUSSIA has, in the mean time, left Po-
dolia, and taken the route through Russian Molda-
via to Bessarabia.

Tule RING s HEALTH.—Yesterday the following
Bulletin was exhibited at St. James's :

troduced. The Grand Duke afterwards called at all
the Royal establishments, except the Palace of the

dered certain.
It is with much pleasure we have perused the Ad-
dress of Alderman THOR/. to the Livery, inserted
in our columns of to-day. It a thorough knowledge
of the affairs of the City, and a warm devotion to
its interests, united to a spirit of the most perfect in-
dependence, be qualities entitled to regard, we know
of no Gentleman who has higher claims, in these re-
spects, to the preference of the Citizens of London
' than Alderman THORP. We are happy to learn that
the greatest success has attended his canvass in every
. part of the City.
