. Last night (he important and interesting Message,
announcing the -Intended nuptials of the Princess
CDARLOTTIE of WALEi with his Serene Highness
Prince LEIPOLD of S4XE-C.OE6tIIIO, was delivered to
both Houses of Parliament; and Addresses of thanks
for the cornmenication were of coarse returned. -Of
the prince)y bridegroom report speaks highly.
propriety of .his conduct *lid the goodness of hii
character hare on him “ golden opinions from all
sorts of men." May he live long to merit and to pos-
sess them, and find a-still sweeter enjoyment in the
affections of an amiable and virtuous consprtl Hence-
forward- we must look upon Prince LEOPOLD as an
Esgtethman, and it is a circumstance of no rnean.im-
penance that be is of an ancient Protestant house. The
illustrious young pair will soon be fixed in a suitable
establishment : and. we are glad, to find that they
resolve to set out on the principle of confining their
expenses strictly within their income. They, doubt.
less, .possess sense enough to know that this will be
the surest way to maintain true dignity, and their
feelings will tell them, that at the present crisis, eco-
nomy ranks high in the class of public virtues.
Report states, that all idea of fitting up H ircourt
House has been abandoned ; but we have not heard
that any other place of residence for the illustrious
pair has yet been selected.

We have to-day received the Paris Papers of Mon-
day and Tuesday. They contain the conclusion of
the Trials of Lixoss and BOYER, the worthy Gover-
nor and his Deputy of Guadeloupe, Bovett is sen-
tenced to be shot; and LINOI3 has been acquitted !
The latter made out something like a case of com-
pulsion as his instinct, like that of FALTAFF,
always led him to avoid the presence of an antagonist
in battle, so on the occasion of his treachtry at Gui.
daloupe, he pleads ccmpulsion in the self same strain
of SnaxesPaatta's Merry Knight. General BOYL:at
it seems, and the ruffians under him in the garb of
soldiers, were in reality the masters of poor Litton,
who betrayed, as usual, a most woeful lack of un-
derstanding and courage.

We cannot, however, dismiss the cue of this Hero
without expressly contradicting an assertion of his
Advocate, which was a stretch even beyond the
licence of poetry. In plea-ding for his client he thus
most falsely describes the naval action in the East
Indies, which a few years since reflected so much
glory on the homeward-bound East-India fleet, com-
manded by Sir NATHANIEL DANCE, and which was
magnified into a regular fleet of men of war by Mon-
sieur Limns, in his dispatches to his cowardly master,
BONAPARTE.

M. GAIRAL, his Advocate, keeps up a similar delu-
sion : alluding to the above disgraceful business, he
observes, 44 When cemmandiog five ships of the line
and a frigate, he was attacked by six ships of the lire,
three frigates, and a brig. He succeeded is separating
'hefted, forded two vessels to aril( their colour:, and tool
the ifehnirai's ship." If M. Lisoli instructed his Cain-
sel to repeat this abominable falsehood, he must be
regarded as one of those persons of habitual bad
faith, who are said to tell a lie so frequently, that
they at last believe it themselves.
With respect to BOYER, his fate k sealed, and be
has probably ere this been shot. Few criminals ever
deserved an ignominious death more richly: in Egypt
he superintended and directed the indiscriminate
massacre of the defenceless inhabitants, men, women,
and children of Alexandria ! We refer our Readers
for evidence of this fact, to a letter from himself to
a brother cut-throat at Paris, dated Cairo, July 28. h,
1798, but which was intercepted by our crnizers, and
primed in this country with many other similar do.i
cuments. Afterwards BOTER was sent to St. Do-
mingo with General I.Ect.tae, where both acted with
such horrible barbarity, that their names have been
l'eld in execration ever since. BUYER, in particular,
ordered a female slave to be devoured by blood-
hounds, in his own presence, for a petty theft! On his
return from this theatre of his tragical exploits he was
captured by a British cruizer, and conducted himself
with such insolence on his passage to England, as to be
more strictly secured than other prisoners of his rank.
This produall the arrest of Lord ELGIN (then tra-
veliinghs France with regular passports) as a reprisal
on the part of Bomar/km for the loss of his favourite
• General.

Boren is 45 years of age, and has the morose and
say.4.e look of an Italian bravo. He is described as
11.4%ine; heard his sentence with great sang froid.

Count Montchenu set out to-day with his Aide.

Commissaries of the Allied Powers charged to watch
ever the execution of orie of the articles of the Treaty
of "the 20th of November.
