From the Rhode-Island Americana
ReOieaO Of the late Foreign Ne.os.
The following are extracts from an interesting
review of the late foreign news BY the Edi.
tor of the New-York Commercial Adverts-
err
Having leisure hour we will glance
back upon the foreign news which has
poured in SO plentifully upon us for
the last three weeks. The decease of
the Queen, her funeral, and the Kings
visit to ireland. are the only events de-
! serving of notice, which have lately
transpiredin England
In regard to the two former subjects.
we have diligently read near hundred
columns, in the London papers, those
friendly and those inimical to the late
queen, and those also which were
neutral. And The result of Our reading
and reflection, Isl on the whole, rather
untavourable to her late Majesty.
vi her character and deeds we say
nothing. In regard to the former. the
Impartial pen of the future historian
Will do her justice, and as to the latter,
whether good or bad, they are known
to her Maker, before whose bar she has
been suddenly and unexpectedly sum-
moned.
The King appears determined to rem

Character, that he will succeed. George
~. IS the first King, in the space of one
hundred and thirty years, on whose
head has been placed an undisputed
crown. There is not drop of the

Majesty was amusing himself and divert
ing his subjects by journey through
England, Wales and Ireland. Our ac-
counts left him at Dublin. He is the
second Protestant Sovereign who has
ever visited Ireland. William Ill. an

Ills journey seems to have been the

greater strides have been taken to al
lay faction-to remove prejudices-to
diminish teuds---to decrease the i'll
blood, generated by collision of op-
posIe sentlments-in short, to concili-
ate and to unite, in the bands of one
interest and one loyalty, than all the
exertions of good and wise men have
been able to accomplish in thirty years.
NO King that ever reigned, has rem
dered such service as this to Ireland"
The King contemplates visiting Edin-
ourgh and Hanover this season.
We think it highly probable that the.
King will marry again, as there will
then be hope of direct succession to
the throne. The ladies of the nobility,
moreover: will be anxious to have a la.
dy at the head of the Court. But. in
this event, it would be difficult for us to
foretell who he will marry. The con.
tinent IS fertile in Princesses, and there
are few, if any, who would not be am-
bilious OF an alliance with the ROYAL
House Of England. These, however,
with the exception of the Princess of
Denmark, are Catholicks; and the
King must marry a Protestant. He can
not marry into the Greek Church, and
will, therefore, be excluded from the
Court of Russia. The Danish Princess.

she once refused the hand of the Duke

IN France, every thing was tranquil
and II we can judge from the general
silence, there was nothing which indi-

national repose. The proiet of the
law for continuing the censorship on

publications, has been adopted by the
French Chamber of Deputies. The
