The letter said to have brop,s,
from France by the Regent, :,
nouncing the return of Ronapau.
to his Capital, has turned ont r. Z,
forgery, as might have been o.
peeted. This circumstance sfTs,,,
US a good occasion to introduce Il,
following remarks, from Iate II,
don Courier, in reply to much sus
a report raised by the Chronicle, a
English jacobi;s print. They arr :,
applicable to the editor Of the G,
lumbar, and the rest of his fellow,
labsrers; as to the Chronicle AMI
bis genuine French letter writers !,
London. The reader must know
that the Chronicles genuine Fr,ueI

than the substance of some gos,io.
ing stories brought over TO Englan.
by a foquacious old French wona,,
Lord BYRON, as we stated yestsrda,
has discovered and promulgated to h.
world, in eight lines of choice dOgcN
that the realm OF England is in decs,
that her Sovereignis disgraced, & lha,
the situation of the country is one
which claims the tears Of all good d.
| triots. TO this very indubiabIe s,,.,
| ment, the Morning Choniele Of ,hi, O.,
! exhibits an admirable companion pt.
| ture, a genains letter from Paris, Of II.
25th alt.
BoxApARTE, it seems, is the most popu.
lar of mankind, enthusiastically beloved
by all ranks Of people, almost as much
| adored in France as he is by some Of ID.
Chonicle's friend in England. Then
| his activity has been so great, and 50
successful, 100000 men already raj.
sed, f,ertecNy egunhed, and ready to
take the field" What only six hur.
dred thousand men (? ore would have
expected few more from the details
with which the letter writer is so COED
as to indulge US /; for first here is The
EMPERon's own army, stated at 2;O0M
next the reserve at Meaux 2OO,GCn;
then $4,000 left at Paris, because h:
EMPEROR would not suffer them 10 &c.
company him to battle, where they arc
dying to 60. Add to these heroes lO0'
900 with which we are told Marsha
SouLT is to catch lord WELLISe1Oy
in a new "trou de rat and the afli.
me,ical skill even of the Chronicle
capable of finding the result to be 5Sl'
600 men. But the Chronicle, besidesal
these men in Buckram, assures U.s. on
the faith Of his Partisan correspondent
that there are FIVE other armies ALREADY
in the field, to wit, those of the iaviOei
BILE Marshals Victor, macdonald, .fug''
reau, A1arn,oat, and Morfier ~ These
must be a couple of hundred THOUSAND
men more-6oo,ooo men! A miill',
good Chronicle, a million at least, "aiI
good soldiers ard tall fellows"
All this is excellent. but what follows
is not less so: bloody battles" says tbs
Chronicles correspondent, "ma's e
fought, to which the armies Of the un'
fortunate allies {" good the arf'r'I
nate allies, is good" will be l"Psll'tt
by the famine that must await lhemR
. thay avoid the conflict" The unlo''0'
nate allies indeed +; >unuonc either way
isthey fight, they are to be utterly w.
stroyed by frc and sword, and '''heY~
not fight, they are to be starved to dea'"'
No wonder the Chronicle and It's CORES
