THE FRENCH PRINcEs.-His ROYAL High
I-nefS Mouheur, brother to the king of France,
was the only one of the French Princes who re-
ceived information by the Hamburg mail of
Iuefday Ian, concerning the melancholy fate of
his relative, the late duke of Enghien.- With
agoniZed feelings he went in the evening to
Wanftead-houte TO communicate the fad It'd
ings. He was met at the door By the duke of
Bourbon, who perceiving grief and forrow
marked on every feature, Immediately anticipa-
ted the cruel fate of his Ton. Without hearing
or utterIng word, he locked himfelf up in his
Hndyy, and there gave vent To MS forrow. His
groans and fobs were heard by thofe outfide.
who in vain implored accefs, in order TO admit
hitter coniolation to his afflicted mind. Mon-
neur himfelf, though long veried in misfortunes,
itood IN need of friendly fupport, but with that
laudable resignation which has always difin-
guiihed him, and fnmming up refolutori, he en-
tered the apartment of the Prince de Conde
and with apparent coirpofure he thus adtlreffcd
him. You know, my uncle, / have to deplore
the murder OF brothtr- of tiifer. ola iifter-n-
Prince de Condo, Judging what this preface led
to, interIupting him, exclaimed" My grand
fon is no more; have no more poferity -
So faying, he fell into the arms of the Chevalier
de Cont, who attended Morfieur. Half an
hour paiIed before he recovered, and BURT into
food of tears. Upon his recovery, he apo
logifed to Monfeur for his weakness, afiuring
him they were the firtt tears he had illed fincs
the murder OF Louis XVI. The Prince. being
extremely i'll, was put to bed, and Monfieur pai-
fed the night at Wantead-houfe in hopes of
feeling the duke of Bourbon, who remained ihut
up in his apartment until ten O'Clock on We'd
nefday morning, he then confented to fee Mon
fieur; but when they met neither could utter
word.
Monfeur parted from him, went into his car
rage, and the Duke retired 10 his chamber,
where he remained yeterday morning inconfol-
able. The Duke and Prince are attended by
phyician and furgeon, who do not permit
them to fee each other. Monfieur was rather
better on Thuriday, and received the Wits of
the Duke of Orleans, of the Dnke dc Montpen-
fire and of the Count de Beaujolois. This day
the French Princes and thofe loyal emigrants
who have the means OF doing 70, will go into
mourning for the Duke of Enghien, this laft
royal victim of the atrocious monitor whom
Providence has 70 long fuffered to chat
tife the world /; and the next week fune-
raj fervice will be celebrated in commence
ration of the martyrdom of his royal highnefs.
Laft Tuefdiy Monfeur received letter from
his majefty the king of France, dated Wariaw,
March 81.
His maiefy had then heard of the attempt of
the Coriicas Ufurper, through the medium of
emiliaries at Berlin, but nothing more. In that
letter his majefy fays, " have written a long
letter to the Duke of Enghien." Strange vicif-
iitudes of human life What a ihort lighted
mortal is man Upon that very day the Duke
of Enghen was before the tribunal of blood,
convened by mercilefs Corlican in France, to
murder one of its beft and NOT virtuous prin-
ces. Yet the Corlican tyrant lives, and the
good people of Paris go as uflial to plays, to
balls and puppet-ihows
