BY the old line packet ship James
Chopper, Capt. Marshall, in % days
from Liverpool, the editor OF the Ma
tIonal Advocate has received his regu.
lar files Of London papers to the 4th.
4 Louis the 18th, King of Frame, is
dead.-Europe has been long prepared
for this event, though the French pa
pers say but little respecting his illness.
The Courier OF the 18th, represented
him to be at the last extremity; so swell
ed aud feeble, and broken down, as TO
afford no hopes of recovery.
Louis the 18th was we'll read gen.
tleman, Of a good disposition, and free
from many OF those vices which unfor-
tunstely distinguish kings. He has seen
much trouble, and could hive had but
little pleasure since his RESIGNATION. He
was widower, and has lei no legi,i.
mate children. He will b, succeeded
by his brother, the Count dAr,ois, un.
| der the title OF Charles X The new
king mounts the throne at spod age, as
he cannot be less than 81 yeirs OF age.
He is rigid monarchist, ami bigot in
religion: and the clergy vii rejoice en
his coming to the throne. His health,
however is good. The next in success
sion is the Duke d'Angouleme, who
married the daughter OF the unfortunate
Louis 10th.

Things continued unsettled in Spain,
and will continue so, as long as the
French armies are quartered on the
people.
Ireland still continues in disturbed
state. Considerable alarm had been
manifested, in consequence of turn GU,
of the cotton spinners in various parts
of Lancashire and Scotland. 7a.
The harvest in Great Britain and Ire.
land has been very abundant, and nearly
all got in.
LONDON SEPT. ID.
: Courier Office, 8 O'clock w have
just received an express from Paris, an
nouncing the death oil The King Of France.
In anticipation OF the above event, Inc
Courier OF the 3th remarks,
I" We understand il is not likely that
the demise of the crown viii occasion
any change in the councils or in The po-
Icy Of France. Her present ministers
are said to possess the confidence OF the
heir to the throne, who is also popular,
with The army as well as with the people
Ii is consolatory to reflect, that 10 SC.
short period as has elapsed since the
revolutionary and tyrannioai days of
France, there is every reasonable hope
afforded TO Europe that continuance OF
peace, good order and quiet eovornm ept,
will be the only resn, OF the demise Of
the French crown. Much Of tins great
good may certainly be ascribei to The
wise, lenitent, and conciiiai. Y govern
