LATEST FROM LIVERPOOL.
 HEwYoRK, Sept. 15.
 Yesterday the packet ship John Jay, Capt, Holdridge, arrived at this port from Liver pool, bringing us London papers to the 9th of Aug. Liverpool to the 9th.
 Letters were received yesterday by the ship John Jay, from Liverpooi, stating that the New-York ships Charles Carroll, and Great Britain, were chartered to sail from Cher bourg tn Naples, ,and that the King and family would embark and 10 be landed at Naples.
 The following remarks from the London Courier of Saturday evening, August 7th, show that the editor of that paper expects the people of France to sit down under con stitulional, or in other words, a limited mon. archy, and that the Duke of Orleans will be placed upon the throne; and that if the French confne themselves within their own limits, there will be no attempt or wish from abroad to disturb them. We are gratifed to find such opininns in that paper; speaking as it generally does, the sentiments of its own
 government.
 If this great point is carried, it will, as far
 as one important precedent can go, establish
 the principle in Europe that the people of a
 country have an undoubted right to change
 the form of their government and when
 they do this without showing any disposition
 to disturb other nations, other nations have | no right to interfere with them. This princi-
 pie once admitted, it will be immensely more
 important to the advancement of nations in
 the path of improvement and amelioration, than any thing that has heretofore occurred,
 and in its ultimate effects upon the civilized
 world will be found vastly more efficacious {baR al fl ntths results produced by the arfamed [Fron the London Courier of Aug. 7.] The latest accounts from France seem to
 justify the belief, that, although Republican
 feeling has manifested tsclf in some quarters, the prevailing opinion there is in favor of comforting the Grown upon the Duke of Or leans. There are few refecting and well dis posed persons in this country who do not think that this would be the reasonable and proper consequence of the late struggle, and the best security for the future peace and happiness of the French nation. A limited Monarchy, in the person of the Duke of Or. leans, would be happy medium between a Republic, for which some persons in France still sigh. and the despotism which has been so happily displaced and, as the Duke of Orleans possesses the public confidence, it is probable that even the Republicans would not object to entrust into his hands the necessary powers, without which no Monarch could cause his Government to be respected, al. though they might withhold them from a stranger, and thus, by an improper restriction of authority, lay the foundation of future troubles It must not be concealed, howev- er' that there is in France party opposed to Monarchical form of Government, how ever limited and it is probable that, if the Ex-King had not yielded to the public voice, by an unconditional abdication, the irritation against him would have furnished pretext for the violent measures, in the execution of which the Republicans and mere Revolution. 'sts would have taken leading part. and would have gained great influence. Lafav- cite himself, in his last Proclamation, takes rather more of the Republican tone than was necessary, er consistent with the pledge which he IS said to have given to support the nom inati"n of the Duke of Orleans to the Throne of France: and as Lafayette is regarded as Inc head of the National Guard (and all France now is becoming a National Guard,) | Ihere might be some danger if this veteran | were allow the theories which he formed in | his youth to get the better of the judgment of age; hut Lafayette, not long ago, declared, 1 that although a Republican himself in the most extensive acceptation of the term, he saw too clearly that the spirit of the age and the state "t society in France were unfit for the application of his theory, and that if the day should ever arrive (it has now arrived) for nun to express an opinion as tu what was proper, he would vote for Constitutional M MH!onarchy. Lafayette cannot have altered ms m.nd so soon; and if he has, as reported, promised to concur in the appointment of the Duke of Orleans as King of France, he is too sirtunus man to retract his pledge, under any change of circunls stances. The probabi- ny, therefore. is. that the Duke of Orleans ssil' be King of France, and good King We nope ne will make; but, if, contrary to ex- pectat'on, the French should throw away the opportunity before them. and split in [" parties, the result of whose dissentions might be the formation of Republic, let lnem conhne themselves to their own front efs' ana make no effort to revolutionize other ;ountries' and they may enjoy, unmolested, ,! 'east by us. their dream of political absur- i'ty. 1t would, indeed, be but dream, of ne remembrance of which every waking nan would hasten t0 divest himself. We rave no such fear, however, for there is too ],
