THE STATESMAN.

LONDON:
'SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 11115.

Letits XVII[. (now styled in the French Papers
Count Ds Ltr.t.c) is at Brussels, waiting for the arri-
val'of the Duke of WiLLIMITOii. The English
Commissariat in Belgium has received instructions to
prepare provisions and forage for 80,000 men, in-
cluding a large proportion of cavalry.
The overture which we have more than once
stated to have been made to our Ministers, was made
by Favour., and holds precisely the same language
as NAPOLION uses to the Councils of State. A com-
munication of the same sort was made to the other
PrOrmrs, through the medium of their Ministers at
Pais.

ONE o'CLocz.—Three French Mails have just ar-
rived by way of Calais. We shall communicate
their contents as soon as they reach us.

We understand there if a very serious division in
the Cabinet, on the propriety of peace or war, and
a change in Administration is confidently anticipated.
We have heard mentioned a very extensive arrange.
Arent, said to be in contemplation, but shall forbear
giving the particulars to-day.

The bull-dogs of war, who opened with Each fury 1
against BONAPASTE the moment they got scent of his
being again in the field, are in danger of being sadly
disappointed of the feast which they anticipated.—
They have suddenly been placed in a situation the
most laughable and tantalizing. Some of the pack
I have been unable to restrain the ebullitions of their
`rage at this unexpected' disappointment, and have
turned round and attacked their masters, accusing
them of having let out the game merely to disap-*
point them, and others have been under the ne-
cessity of counterfeiting a cowardly howl themselves,
and using all manner of canine argument, to get their
prey voluntarily to pat himself within their power,
Or their masters to 46 cry havock, " and pounce
upon the victim without consideration or remorse.—
Of this latter description is the mastiff of the Times,
who having suffered a severe disappointment by the
unexpected termination of the war with America,
has absolutely been outrageous ever since. The
prospect of a renewal of carnage on the Continent
of Europe has indeed directed his attention to .a new
field ; but, as is usual in such cases, it seems only
to whet his appetite. We entertained very natural
apprehensions from this prospect and the warm
weather besides, but when we least expected It, the
hot-blooded CERBERUS of the Times has fallen Idto
a cool fit, and looks like an ill-judging cur, who
knows not whom he is barking at. BONAPARTE,
" the breaker of treaties, who has ever lived bat
for war," will neither break the Treaty of Peace
sigitid et Paris, nor inetify the horrible Declaration
winch the Allies' castled against him, by oisse.sermddr
their territories, and glutting the fiends of war with
their dear-loved banquet. The Alike, It. Is
feared, will absolutely be under the necessity of
breaking the Peace which they themselves swore to
maintain, before NAPOLISM will commence hostili-
ties against them. This is certainly very awkward for
I •
the Allies, after they have placed hiM out of the
pale of social reletione,--wonll4eep company with
hide, and say, that nobody else iirorild do so, though
the whole population of France have hailed him their
Etiperor. The setter up and puller down of Kings,
Ithe very Kings who are now denouncing him—he
who entered the walla of..Vkjsmi (wigs), of Berlin
once, and restored.to the Monarchs of Austria and
Prussia, unimpaired; their respective dominions—'
Abe occupant of the Kremlin and the Escurial—he
who rested his right on the Adriatic, and his left on
the Baltic—the Mediator of the Helvetia Confede-
ra •
cy—the Protector of the Confederation of the
,Rhine, the Kiag•of Italy, &c. most unexpectedly offers
to accept the conditions 44 imposed by the Conquerors
sif Fairisc"—How provoking! how fraught with dis-
appointment I after the Allies have all prepared for
battle, too, and 1,0,000 Prussians are said to have
mated the Rhine for that purpose ! COI there is
nb accounting for such moderation, but by the fact
which is now proved, that BONAPARTE is a coward !
and not in a condition for war, %s ire he more reliant
thin he is ! Have at him, therefore, whilst he is
weak ! never mind treaties—say he broke then; first
by leaving his prison its Elba, Wore be could with
any degree of safety or decency be sent to St. He-
lena, thongh'he had gnarenteed to him, by Wady,
sir independent sovereignty in Europe,—theogis his,
wife and son were not, nor were to be, put is peeseael

sinn of the territories ga4ranteed to them by Treaty,
and not • a shilling of his pension, inscribed on the
;gigot book of France, was paid to him, unless the.
English Mini;try were so accommodating to the
BOURBONS as to pay it for them. Never mind ell
this, say the arguments for war—'tie enough that a
man so dangerous to old' Aston is r.broted again and
invested with power—he Mast be put down, or per-
hapi(thnse who govern upon other systems may ex-
perience some changes, and that would not be for
.the benefit of the human race ! " The .Treaty of
Paris vra: ata made with Ahn, and never would have

are attempted to be abused, and the world loci,
to bloodshed by persons who ought to know het(

and who •oluntarily shut their ears to the dictates
humanity, and their eyes to the clearest facts.
Shame on this jesuitical cant, this low servility,
sin against truth and nature, this cowardly appetii
for blood, breathing through the pen, fully as

structive and demoralizing as the swords of a licen,
tious banditti.
The Thies is particularly enraged at the Deck:;
tion of NAPOLEON, that Kings are made for and
the People, and not the People for Kings. Is

doctrine now preached up by the Times, congea
to either the letter or the spirit of the British Con,
tution ? and might not the violent attacks which
Times is now making on the principle which seal
the House of Buttrawics on the Throne of the
realms, tending as' it does, to impeach their r;

to the Throne,which is derived solely and alone fn
the will of the PeOple, be demised worthy of the

tention of the ATTORNF.Y-GEKLRAL, in his oft

capacity. For it is public cud notoriety) that ,
present King sits on the :throne, solely by the
cision of the People expressed at the Revisal
when the De Jure possessor of the 'throne 'was

prived of it, and replaced' by another, whose nigh,
were solely elective, and do which fleas alone,

descendants, the present Family, now reign.
The Timer contends that the hereditary Vitt

they obtain can only be considered u freeillts.
mere concessions from the Sovereign, who Online!,
de jure as well as de facto, positive rights '*e;
person., 'property, lives, and liberties of all *films

If such doctrine as this is to be received atgoild—
if we must and ought quietly to submit to the !obi.
trary rule of the Monarch, and are to consider oar.
selves as possessing no rights but what emanate fr
his generosity, the people and the Parliaments
this country are in a grievous mistake respecting the,
power and their rights.

Letters from China, up to the end of May, were
received in town yesterday by way of Aererics,
