FRANCE AND GREAT BRIrAIN.

From the tenor of the observations Of the Chan.
ceIor Of the Exchequer in the British House o.
Commons, the cali for publication of the docu-
oents relative to tho negotiations peace at Cha
tlIan, which preceded Bonapart's downfall, we
should Judge that things arc not exactly taking
that precise turo in France which the English mi
nistry desire. We already kn0w, from the News
papers, that the emperor Of Russia gave the law at
Paris that his orders regulated every thing that
the oonspirators who dethroned Napoleon had CO.
venantcd for his personal safety as well for that
of his SON. who is to be duke OF Parma, and had OBJ
taiped settlements for vsrious branches of the Bo-
nsparte family, together with guarantee for free
consultation for the French people. All this goes
to shew that Trance is still very powerful; that
the new men, and not the old mobiles, possess the
ipauence in the provisional govern Rent that Br-
fish counseis not popular in France that the
emperor Alexander is not swsyei by Great Britain
aud that the partition Of territory 10 Europe con-
scquent upon the restoration OF the Bourbons, will
not be made according to the views of the Prince
Regent aud the Earl Of Liverpool, WHO'S the wire
worker flord Csstiereagh. This opinion 10 strength.
eBed by what has been already thrown out, to wit
that Belgium is 10 be divided between France add
Holland that Antwerp is to become q free bort !;
both Of which provisions contrary to the inter-
esls of England taken in connexoh with her intend

indemnity for the oss OF half of Belgium the side
of Italy. Italy is to become barrier Kingdom !,
and Poland barrier Kingdom also. These are We
ry reasonable arrangements. We see nothing in
them, however, very favorable to the policy OF G..
Britain. She certainly wished murder Nspolc-

all the Princes and mobiles Of his house. Butiu this
il seems, she will be foiled His sister will be
Queen she being married to Murat, who is 10 re-
main King of Naples aud Eugene Beauharnois
will enjoy Ducby. The frst and second wives of
Bonsparte will be Duehesses; his son will nomi-
naIly continue King of Rome, and be educated at
Vienna: And thus entrenched, keeping, himself
the title ofEmperor, Napoleon must still continue
a very considerable man. The English have not
entirely crushed him and tue sentiments with
which he has filed France against the domineerIug
and monopolizps spirit Of England. will revive and
have tendency TO curb the pride of tho common
distrber of nations. In all these tralsaotions the
genius and magnanimity OF the empe; or OF Russia

Gus. Tho very act BY which Bonsparte was de-
tIroned, is lesson to the Bourbons On the whole
the British government must be mortified. The
English people have paid hs piper bat lord Gas

the happiest results" This is not the language O
