rRIi'AM LET7'EAIS.

0 MILAN, OCTOBER a .
" We have arrived here, after a tedious campaign•
ing sort of journey from Paris ; the weather obsti.
nately wet, the toads bad and 'deserted ; the produce
of the harvest lying upon the ground, as far as we
I:
toad see on each side of our route, and every indi.
vidual with whom we spoke predicting i famine.—
Political feeling, as at Paris, appears either dormant+
or exhausted ; the people are tired of sensations and
spectacle, and thus tolerably loyal from mere fatigue
—they looked kith some interest at a few louis d'ors
we had with us. They are rather more negligent
than at- Yetis in removing the memorials of the late
Governmeet. It was but. the day b More we crossed
the Jura that the inscription of the pnluine Nalioleos
hAd been clumsily plaistered over with mud, by wAy
of ceisure ; W— took the Router to reproduce the
inscription—it is in the style of affected ft.ree and
simplicity, which cheesictesises the revolution.' The
architecture is open to the.same i Isiervation. 'the
name of the architect was omittede—a circumstance
too common under the regime of Bonaparte, Uperi
arriving at Geneva we haled all the inns, hotels,
lodgings, and cabins, deluged with English riches
and English onset. the whoie circeit of the Lake
appeals an English C .heny, and all Geneva wonders
*hist stiAnge. revolution in tie State has driven so
m my tt our. countrymen into rifle:
.1 Geneva has at prescat preeisely the air of an
Lettish %yawing place—the lone coats, leungu'g
figures, ant promenade .of equipage—the salsa I-
dons, the inquiries ef people who were tired of each
other, and of theimelves, would almost make otie
imenine that Cheltenhatu underwent a supernatural
transportation, like the holy house i 1 Loretto, from
its ancient Kite. The prices 4 all the necessaries
and luxuries of life have risen immoderately, and the
whole State is likely to remember for ages to come
the prodigious influx of wealth from the wants and
follies of our English travellers.
66 Lord Byron has been trightened away from his
residence on the 'Ace, by the re-appearance of his
country in the midst of these solitudes. The retreat
of the noble Challis is in the minutest part of Italy
A horse and garden, with the ()dui proportioned
conveniences, cannot, 1 understand, he had miller

emit. 7v9, compared with its condition in 1789.. The
democratic principle is still admitted, and every
member of the community fornis put of the elective
body. They elect a Common Council of State.
%Wiese authmity is at the same time eoth legislative
and executive—the neat vicions of all combittatiites,
and of which oligarchical tyranny is the necessei y
result. The palaces of the municipal Nobility have

in the patriciaes of andentßime.
" I could not disc:lien-mu my short st ty whether
any part of the Bonapertean regime bad been pre-
set ved. The Engliet are in high favour with the
inn-keepers,. and now Geneva has become one vest
inn throughout its three mile territory. If one could
separate an English county from England—that is,
trona her fleets, her armies, and her Cabinet, it would
exactly resemble the Vaudois. In the general lac.,
of the • enery, and its-division by hedges, . I fancied
I beheld attain English virtue, industry and indepen-
dence. The people are Protestants, as at Gene4a,
but every creed, even Deism, is openly poolessed and
eivaily. protected. The frerthipker of Sax liws in
entity with the Calvinist of Geneva. By the bye.
the historrut these Sex people must be cut ions.—
Voltaire 'seated a Church fur them, but it seems to
have been but once used—tor his own eccentric com.
sbetaion. The grass is quite tall nd thick upon the
steps, and the-people openly ea a merit of their',
philosePhy. - This abaunce of religion is deeply to be
regretted, but what a tunirast to the cathelicism 01
the Valois!
" The Simplon, Wh;cit was generally covered with
waggons, indii.try, and trade, is now passed over by
none but English travellers. If Eaglisti spendthrifts
continue to pursue this route much longer, the Vei-
turiers will soon be the 'hitters of the Republic
What seems in the most flourishing state is religion,
and at no gre tt expence.

sictive in the. discharge of their ministry.
" The territories of the King of Sardinia some-
times aimed us in our route. We easily distinguished
them by their appearance of heavier impositions.—
The Dolianiers are the most respectable and the most
hisolent of the inhebitants, We encountered them
st every step, They might serve here as a sort of
geographical index.
o We met with nothing interesting till our arrival
at MilJr, Irems which I date Ibis letter. Bad bread,
taw fruit, wretched wine, sufficiently apprised us that
the season had been as-bad in the North of Italy as
in' England and France. The alienis nuaribus .E.tia:

O We frund Milaa.uot less English than Geneva.
English emigrant's (so they are called) arrive every
bestir. The hlatquis of Sligo and the Dowager
lilArchioni ss have been there lately. 1; ill somewhat
strange that this place should be selected by either
the tconomizieg or sight-luving phut of the comm.
!thy. Our Cesuntrymen are nu where mote out of

retired into any, pail of the country us England.—

neither talked, played, nor linderstood. In soother

einployed upon the Cathedral the ripens, niubt be
'inns/stout, and even oppressiVe, in a country like
this ; but it is an ecclesiastical' exploit, which, from
its very perfection, we should pardon the Inquisition.
It is an unrivalled, a unique chef Amore of Gothic
grandeur and embellishment—without it, there would
be a great desideratum in the history and code of
Gothic architecture. The wept of the Cathedral
present the most dramatic scene in the world—all
gradations thrown, masqueradelike, together, in the
stroreeq and most grotesque relief.
44 We had an opportunity of witnessing a display
of Italian improvisation—what a scene to an ama-
teur ul burlesque I The subject was a Snit of theory
of 'the birth of the angels, which the minstrel deli-
vered with the most rapid tune, the most whimsical
gestures, hut, above all, a ludicrous, scrlemaity of
grimace, which belongs only to an Italian and an
iinprovisatore. The whole scene was such as could
cot tail to excite merriment even in a cl,wotee.—
There are thousands of those people, and still room
for thousands more. The Italians delight in these
languid pleatures, which cast them neither physical
nor mental exercise, and SO easily procured. The
historical recollections of ancient R...ine and national
vanity ate the only sprieigs ca.yhie of exci'ing this
degenerate race. What must have ban tkeir feel-
ings when they beheld the ;toles. the scenes, the

inanim.oe nature, suddenly start lip before them in
the costume of ancient Rome. it Llid produce a
.:great effect. The people do not venture to name
;Bonaparte—they talk of Deauharnois with affection,
'even to enthusiasm.
a"I'lle size of the Theatre is immense, but not
massive—their ships, and chariots, and Romanized
grooms, produce but little impression upon a wan.,
ger. A pompons proclamation has appeared, an-
nouncing a !ose-races in which will be exkibittd a
superb display of ancient skill. It will probably be
more gratilying to the Italian than to the English
part of the population. They will believe that every
:king is pertectly Roman and perfectly excellent, be•
cause they are told so—just as they believe them-
selves descendarits.ot the Romans. not of the Goths,
merely because they were told so by Bonaparte."

OCTUEER 17.
The Elections at Vet will s exhibited a scene in
which blonsiair ts itnesscd himself the discomfiture
of his party. M. Bertier de Sauvigny, a candidate
of that party, bciug inivised to anticipate a defeat,
by ielingitishing his pretensions, as he was designated
among those k;ainst whom the whole influence of
Government was to be directed, appiied to the Pre-
fect" to learn, if such were his instructions from Mi-
nisters. The Prefect, conceiving that all difficulty
woo;:i be preclud d by confessing the truth, cummu
nicated confidentially to M. Bettie: the twofold
containing, on the one side, those individuals whose
election was to be opposed, and, on the other, those
whose election was to be remoter). But, no sooner
had the Ultra viewed his name among the former,
than, fired with indignation, he hastened to assemble
those of his party, and suggested the usual ma-
noenvre of seceding from the elections, so as to pre-
vent their taking place.
“ Unfortunately, however, in this instance, the
Ultras had over rated their strength ; for neither was
the mapeetivre, nor the escouragement 'given by
Monsieur and his Aidole-Camps, who were awaiting
the event in the Chateau, able to prevent die elections
from proc•?eding,•and being carried in favour of the
Constitutional party. In the Department of Jura,
all the exertions of the Priesthood, who, among other
means of influence, denied absolution to those who
refused voting for their favourite candidates; —and
of the Nobles, who resorted to violence and corrup-
tion, bare proved unavailing. A leading Ultra,
presuming on bis exaggerated Royalism, as an ex-
cuse for impropriety of any kind, having repeatedly
interrupted. the Presidatt, M. Jobez, in the cc'irse of
h's speech to the Electors, was at length conducted
out of the election-hall, by the officers on.duty.—At
Dijon, toe electors being denied the representatives
on whom they had fixed their choice, expressed their
discontent with truly French levity, by dividing their
votes upon a second trial, between the Allied Store:
reigns under whose protection and influence the Royal
Government had called them to this mockery of elec-
tion. lam assured that the Prince Regent had not
to complain ot his share of suffeages.
Effected as they may be, the result of these elec-
tions is dtatidedly to put the Ultras in the minority.
Ministers reckon that having thrown out a certain
r of Ultras, and added to the number of their
own party in the last Chambor (all the. Members of
which they have caused to be re.elected), they have
secured an absolute majority. But if Ministers, col=
lectively, are easy upon this point, .M. de Cezes, in•
dividually, does not participate in that general feel-
ing of security. His ,department itselfrwill ha at
upon the grounds stated in M. de Chateau:,
briand's pamphlet ; that is, as being superfluous in 1
a Constitutional, Goyetptnenti and even as. being's
equally dangeri.us to tl4 State and to the people.-7
This Minister 411 6e. also arraigned by the Ultra's!
for misrepresenting the wishes ot the King in the Di.,
partments, cn the occasion of the elections. They
accuse hips of baying. pilichiced dististbances in la
Vendee, by statin it.tta be .is Majesty's wish, that
the purchasers of National domains, and men of re—
Solutionaiy origin, should be elected, in order to in-
spite confidence in the Charter; they charge hits with
corrupting the Jt•urnals by means of the incalculable
sums he derive from the gaming-houses, prostitutes,
and other impure and illegal sources; unlortunately
while thus assailed by the Ultras, be will find little
support in the opposite party ; and his colleagues in
the Ministry inclining to separate their cause from
his, it would' seem that, placed in this insulated si-
tuation, he must fall of necessity ; and he would so,
were be not, on the other hand, sustained by a power
both weaker and stronger than every otber—the
King himself 1
To elude this intended impeachment, this royal
favourite is said to have prevailed on bis master to
prorogue the meeting of the Chambers, till the 1.5.11
of next month', in older that the Finance plan, which
Would be then submitted to the House, may so en-
gage we attention of parties, 'as to &yet them, at
'feast for a time, from filtering upon the impeachment
contemplation: Many 'persons-who have long been
donfined by virtue of the ki tire nupeas, Dave been.li.
berated within these few days."

Wehitte now had for Some days the happiness of
having again in nut neighbourhood her Royal High,
nets the Princess of Wiles, who is returned to her
villa of Esle. after having spent four months in Sicily.
after visiting the ruins of Carthage and Utica, near
Tunis, and having made a journey to the linsphorus.
Greece and Palestine. In all places which this august
traveller honoured with her presence, %ha was received
by the Gove:nmstnts with the most di, tinguidied re-
spect. xnd every where she eejeyed the tribute of
general esteem.
Every weere• the Princess' viewed :red collected
valn4l.le Articles of the fine arts and antiy.ity, which,
,added to what she already possessed, will form an
extremely rich museum, and add new splendour to
her already celebrated 'sill t. She was particularly
generous w the learned Academy at Athens, and
assigned a large sum fee the Monks of the Holy Se.
pulchre, in order to relieve their extraordinary inJi.
gence. She also resolved to mark her happy return
by new acts of beneficence, giving tides of honour to
the persons who accompanied her on her dangerous
pil.trimage. Lastly, she charged the neighbouring
Priest of Cenobio with %Jae distribution of large sums
for the relief of his poor parishioners, and instituted
popular games, with prizes,for the conquerors.

LOWER ELBE, OCTOBER 5.
The latest accounts from Sweden Say,.. o,nr rela-
tions with Russia are continually as amicable as
; and the Crown Prince lately declared in a
large assembly,that in all his actions he took his august
.riend, the Emperor of Russia, for his model. Some
English papers give repeated hints of an approaching
war between Sweden and Denmark these reports
are absolutely false ; arid it is natural that since the
last peace the armi, s of both Powers are consicht.ibly
diminished, and that of the troops that are retainel,
a great many are absent on furlough for an indefi-
nite tune."

ST.ITE OF ALGIERS.
On Wednes.lty the Promethem, C.tptain. DASn•
wool), arrived at l'ortsmouth from Algiers. She
sthyed at Algiers 17 days after Lord Exmourit had
sailed; she left it on the '2oth September. The officers
trequently went on shore, and wete not interrupted
in gratifying thrir natural curiosity, as to the extent
of the injury done to the fortifications, the arsenal,

and city.
The city appeared to have suffered much beyond
any description that has yet been given; there are
hut few houses which do not present. some effect of
the bombardment. All the Consni-s7,ooses were unfit
to occupy. Five shells, one-13-iitch and tour 10-inch,
fell inpr the Dey's Palace, but fortunately aidnet ex-
plode, or they would have shattered tl,at prircely edi-
fice to its toulidatien. The Dix keeps timse gratibirg
memento of the 27th August iiled up in his Palace ;
And he had given res* aids to all who would employ
themselvet in ticking up the shot that fell into the
city. His Highntss, knowipg that tl,e Janissaries
would, as soon as the battle was ended, call for some
reward for their services, and anticipating that a
commotion must be the consequence, .ind he himself
become a sacrifice to their Mot din ..te demand, shipped
his family (consisting of his mother, brother, and two
nephews) and a considerable suns of money, in a
Sardinian schooner, fi:r Constantinople; and it proved
the moment Lord LiNI4ILTII bed witheirawn front the
bay with his fLet. the Janissaries did demand that
the city should be given up to ptilage—upon the
plea, that the Moors had not heartily assisted in the
defence, and that the Jews were DO better than spies
ht the country;
The LW made distributions of money to them, but
finding that his liberality had only the effect ot still
more exciting their insatiable desires, he addressed
them upon the danger there wts, that the Moors
would overpower them in the struggle, staling there
were no more than two thousand ot them, whilst the
inhabitants (Moors) consisted of upwards of thirty
thousand men ; he proved to them, that the propor-
tion of those that had fallen was as thirty to one on
the part of the Moors. It was not at once, however,
that the DEY could persuade these. furies from their
purpose—they importuned him to consent. which he
as firmly resisted, and rushing in amongst them; with
.his breast uncovered, bid any aif them who could 44
himself a greater friend to their cause and interest;
;than .he *as, to shoot or slay- him upon the spot.--1,
This romantic act of bravery and voluntary sacrifice
silenced them, and previously' to the Prometheus
leaving the place, they were engaged in putting the
fortifications into a state of defence for immediate
service, fully expecting that the American squadron
would shortly visit them. The DEY has determined
net to treat with them any farther, though he doubted
not they would bombard the place.
The conjecture is, if the Ainericans should proceed
to acts of hostility., the tdoors• will endeavour to
throw off the Turkish yoke. The DEY was very ac-
tively employed ; he had directed that fifteen gnn-
' boats, which were in an half-finished state when Lnrd
EXMOUTH attacked, Should be completed, and that
the vessels which blew up and sunk in the Mole
should be weighed. He had only three sehooners
remaining, when the Prometheus sailed they were
all ready for service.
