'ATESMAN:

spect for human rights, like other Princes.? On all
these points the deponent is silent, and we, of course,
cannot speak.

But it will be perceived from Lord CASITAREAGH'S
vindicatory speech (how much it is so such of the
public as know any thing of the partitions and equivo-
cations of the Congress will judge), in the House of
Commons last night, that " on the issue of the new con-
test in France, and its favourable result to the Bouttaom
'Dynasty, mach of those blessings and advantages,
which we hoped to enjoy, depend." What a
doubtful dependence ! On what a precarious basis
are the blessings and advantages which we should
now have been possessing rested! Is England to be
eternally engaged in war—are the peate and pro-
sperity of Great Britain, and all that is dear in hope
and reality to the people of this country, to beefake4
on the frightful precipice of hazard and rep', te
effect the stability of the BOURBON Dynasty ?
Sad indeed is the prospect for Britain, France,
and the world if this is the case.

The statements in circulation, on the authority of
Gentlemen arrived from Paris, and said to be com-
municated in private letters from that capital, are
numerous, and of the most gloomy aspect. They
state, that BONAPARTB was pushing on with great
rapidity from Lyons, and had already reached Auxerre,
half-way between that place and Paris; or aboet
l'ill miles from the letter.; Awl that his army con-
sisted of 15,000 !veterans,: well equipped for
action. Some go the length of asserting, that his
I force amounts to 50 or 60,000 men. It is evident
'that the population of the country through which he
( has passed are greatly in his favour, as well as the
1 military. One of the letters from Paris says,—
" The troops of the Prince de MOSKWA (Ney), in
whom, by his former Proclamations, one was led to
place reliance, have, it is said, refused to act, with
the exception of the artillery, who are yet to he
' treated. • MORTIER has returned from Lisle, where
irthe disposition of the forces is said to be equally uu-
:favourable. The Moniteur is dismal ; and it is
i.likely that we shall know nothing of BONAPARTE
till he comes upon us in his usual style."
'A Gentleman, who has been employed in a diplo-
',silk capacity, arrived yesterday from Paris, who
1.
says:—The Capjtal remained tranquil, when he left
it.; but the presence of BONAPARTE was daily es-
pected, not as a prisoner but as a conqueror. Th.
IFrench Ministers are completely bewildered; they
are surrounded by the spies of NApot.zott, and
,
I know not whom to trust. The Minister at War dare
not attempt to bold a confidential correspondence; the
agents of BONAPARTZ discoverevery thing. After all
that has been said upon the subject of the telegraphs,
and the precautionary measures taken, they are still
worked by unintelligible cyphers. In short, he says,
the BOURBONS, and their friends, are all completely
in the dark as to the plans tow in operation ; they
appear to him to be systematically arranged, and
will be developed in a very few days. His own
lopinion is, that BONAPARTE will have entered Paris
in a- fe'w days.

SALARY and Foucur, Ministers of Police, have
gone over to BONAPARTE, with many other charac-
ters•of influence and celebrity, and• well acquainted
with the secrets of State. Poems • was arrested,
but made his escape: Many females are mentioned
as implicated in the conspiracy, particularly the
wives of SAVARy, of MALLET, and of Louts 130.

Mr. WHITBRE%D, in his excellent observations in
the House of Commons last night, desired to know
whether the Proclamation, stated to be issued by
BONAPARTE at Bourgoigne, on the Sth (given in our
Paper of yesterday), was genuine ? but we do not
perceive that Lord CASTLEREAGH replied to this en-
quiry. His Lordship, it will be observed, endea-
vours to get out of the scrape of Genoa at the ex-
pence of Lord Was. BErrrtnx.
The Corn Bill was passed in the House of Lords
last night by a majority of lc/Alto 21.

The Court of Common Council yesterslarvotted a
Petition to the Pauses itifatTiT, praying that his,
Royal Highness '"
would be graciously pleased, on,
the part of his Majesty, to withhold his Royal Assent,
from the Corn Bill, and to dissolve the present Par-i
liament, for having refused to listen to the voice wail
Petitions of the people." The Resolutions are giirdi
in an Advertisement in knother page. They are spirited)
and worthy of British feelings. We earnest?), tiVit
the manly and constitutional example AIN givetrot
perseverance in the maintenance of a just cause, and-I
of advising the Throne, now that all other resources
have failed, to attend to the interests and wishes of
the people, will he followed by every city, town,
aad village its the kingdom.'

From Vienna the news is that the departure of

brought there on the sth, would probably retard
