M►t. LOVELL'S LIBERATION.

After an imprisonment of Four Years and a half in
?his Majesty's Gaol of Neagate, in consequence of
Er-ollicio informations, for what has been termed
Libel, Mr. LOV ELL informs his Friends, with
the feelings which may be supposed to animate the
breast of a man inthis situation, that he has been
this day liberated
.from the scene of his long con-
finement, and of his many severe afflictions, and
is now returned to the discharge of those duties in
public life, which, at the present extraordinary
crisis, so pregnant with events of vital importance
to the liberties of Mankind, are more than ever
vecessary to be fulfilled, and which he assures
his Readers and Friends he shall strive to perform
to the best of his ability.
•He trusts it will not be considered egotism to state,
that h alth, as may well be supposed, has suf-
fered MIR from the continued rigour of his fate;
bitt his are, as they have ever been, un-
broken; a i opts he need not say how grateful
is his heart support which he has received
from the Fri
slle
of Liberty and Justice under his
bag and accumulated afflictions.

LONDON:
MONDAY, MAY 22,r,1815.

Yesterday and to-day have brought us Paris Pa-
pers from the 17th to the 20th. Their contents are
interesting, though they announce no event of deci-
sive importance. NAPOLEON has not yet left his
capital, for there appears no necessity for his pre-
sence elsewhere. lie is actively employed in hold-
ing Councils of State, reviewing armies, sending off
troops to their various destinations on the frontiers,
and in organising or giving countenance to the or-
ganizations of the federative unions of the people,
which are forming everywhere for the support of the
national independence. The numberless inhabitants
of the Fauxbourgs St. Denis, St. Martin, and of the
Temple, are federating after the example of the other
Fauxbourgs ; and we are told 100,000 men, per-
fectly armed and equipped, are now ready for the de-
fence of Paris. IVltether jacobinical or not, these vo-
lunteer unions present a very dismaying prospect to tae
Powers who have been flattering themselves with the
idea of en easy march to Paris. Allowing they are
all not quite agreed as to the point of having NAPO.
LtON BONAPARTE as a Sovereign, will they, Jaco-
bins as they are styled, unanimously ♦ote the Crown
to a Prince of the House of BOURBON, a House
which has cost France so muds blood, and which the
whole nation has made such exertions to expel ? But
these confederations, say our Treasury fulminators,
are only the rabble—so much the worse for the
hopes of those who would raise a standard in France
inimical to that rabble. The rabble are the
public, and let us ask what constitutes the
strength of any State ? who are the defences of the
country ? who are the first to take up arms, when
their native land is threatened ? who are the
support of thrones, and the guardians and
assertors of public liberty and individual safety ? but
the rubbk, as men are termed when they will not vo-
luntarily bend their necks to slavery, and dare to
maintain their own unalienable privilege spinet So-
vereign authority. He must needs be strong who
has the rabble with him, and when that rabble com-
prehends the whole of the people of such a nation
as France.

The news in the French Papers from the frontiers,
announces a movement on the rill of the Prussian
army to its right, in consequence of the movement to
the rear of the Austrians. Some people will not
ir,,ow what to make of this. The leading article in
our Paper of Wednesday last will tend to explain it.
We there stated that the Austrians had shown symp-
toms of unwillingness to advance against France,
Lord
awl that Lord ct.tscrom and the Prussian Com-
manders had movements of concentration and
precaution nec nary in consequence. The army of
Gvn.BLuculit is any thing but complete, saytheFrench
'Journals; and whoever has read the accounts even
in that vehicle of truth, the Brussels Oracle, of the
disposition of the Saxon troops constituting a part of
the army under the Prussian Commander, will be.
lieve that any thing but unanimity prevails in his
ranks. .
.

Private letters from Soigniers state,. that Lard I
lIILL's division had their head-quarters at that town
on the 15th ; their advance towards the Freud' (roe-
tier was occasioned by a movement of Count D'EaLon
(Drouet) upon his right, with a view to cut off their
communication with the Prussians.

And Sweden too—she is lukewarm. We fear our
prediction is about to be realized. It is said the
Allies are so much offended This that rilectance mu. I
nifestcd by the Crown Prince of SWribitx is mareb
against France and give up Pomerania to the King of

DENMARK, that they are about to declare war against
him. This, however, is a French statement.

It is still difficult to find nut the real situation of
Munvr. He is certaiuly not in a prosperous way,
and appears endeavouring to secure his retreat by
difficult roads along the eastern coast. It is saii!, he
still preserves Ancona, in which he has placed a gar-
rison of 3000 men.

It is stated from Genoa, that British ships of war
had received orders to capture, burn, and destroy
all vessels that they find under the Neapolitan flag.

press MARIA LocisA arrived ou Wednesday last.

binet of Vienna.

HANOVER, MAY s.—lt is understood that the
King of Denmark has declared expressly to the Coa-
lition, that he will not move until he has obtained a
full indemnity for Norway. Sweden ought to Lave
given up Pomerania, and to have paid a large sum
besides; but it has evaded doing so under various
pretexts—it is therefore probable that Denmark will
preserve its neutrality.

kali), thing but complete. Many corps which are
to join it are not yet even in march.
