DEATH OF KING LOUIS XVIII.
His Majesty Louis XVIII. rendered up
his last breath this morning, September
10, at four O'Clock precisely. The Royal
. Family and Princess of the Blood have
passed the night in his Majesty's apart
ment.
From his numerous infrmities, life itself
had become q burden 10 Louis, and we
know ofno evil his death is likely To- bring
on France ; yet, when anticipating ms de
cease, the French Journalists, rs in duty
bound, represented it as n national cala,nl
ty, mixing up their lamentations however,
with a few compliments to hts successor.
The reflections INDUCED in by some of them
on the crisis then impending, are OF a truly
sic ,nlar cast. Glow sloriuus," says one
of them, " how holy is the agony OF the
most Christian King Monarchs of the
earth. cofne and learn how to die. Sorrow
is spread among the people ; the father OF
the family is dying-neep oH-,oeepf IA

France-the model of honor and loyalty,

console ourselres." According To the pri
waite accounts, the ,eeeping part OF the al
vice was not much attended To bat the
consotdiory was quite TO the taste oil The
public.
Thirteen bulletins were lisa Ied by the
physicians. The last Of these we give as a
specimen.

Their serene HIishnrsscs the Dukes Of
Orleans and Bourbon came several times IN
the course Of the day to take c"6nlzance Of
,t.e B1lletins.
The following is an extract from a Paris
paper of the 10Th Sept. the day before that
on which the Monarch died
"Ihe strung constitution of tile king has
again triumphrd this morning over a crisis
like that which tonk place yesterday. The
same symptoms have dgain produced the
same alarms. The king desired that the
prayer for the dying should be

ed Il erueiix te be given him, and kissed it
several times. The persons who were pre-
sent al this august scene coull call to mind
the death of the chief Of the noble race of
the Buurbons, and W hat il related oft il Il
manner so affecting and simple by his faith
FIJI servant Jomville. At the second crisis
the kings heart WAS Affected, and the senti-
ments which his heart coull not express
were evident in his coumienance. Nothing
could give an idea Of the grief of the Roy
al Family, did not the affection which the
people Of Paris feel make every one easily
understand that Of our Princes. On San
day morning his Majesty, though suffering,
thought iii 10 he prescott at the family
breakfast. Their Royal ui5hncsses seem
ed IN great Consideration. The grief of
Madame was So great, that the kiug asked
her to approach, and taking her by the
hand, vice pressed il to her lips with great
emotion"
To know that y fellow being is suffering,
and not to sympataize with him, is contrary
To human nature. But the royal family
and the people of Paris must have felt for
his majesty, but that either regarded his
death az a calamity is doubtful. After
his death, however, the Journals preserved
The same tone that they had kept mp during
his Illness. To shew this, We will give one
more extract from a Paris paper, merely
promising the observations of the GLoBE
and TRAVELLER, "that these lamentations
