I could, my lord, proceed much further, -vere it necessity ; i'it Irom what we have seen, I think it is p: -i , that there is no like ness whatever in the t .vo gover itnents. As to that of France, as it ts now n w-.modelled, it appears to me to resemble the American rather than ours. People iu France vote for members of t he legislature upon the principle ot representation and taxation going hand in hand. There are no feudal titles or rights in France. The peers are, in fact, no mere than eminent citizens, having no great es tates attached to their titles and seats. There is, and ther e is to be, no established religion. 1 be two Chambers in France, like the Con gress in America, are forbidden to pass any law respecting a predominant church. Reli gious opinions are to be free. There are to be no books, which may not be freely com mented on and examined into. There is to bt nothing so sacred that reason may not ap proach it. 1 here are to be no tyf/ies m rante, consequently no benefices to bestow. Tins is a government certainly very much like thatof America.

May be so —but it has not been proved. In conclusion, my lord, give me leave to suSSestt that it would be as wise in ns not to cry up our sort of government so much. If it be better than that of France, why want them to have one like it ? Most of iny neigh bors are well enough content if they are but able to get good crops themselves, without thinking much about those of other people.— We are always calling the French our ene my, and representing their power as so dan gerous to Europe ; and why should we then fret ourselves because they will not be hap pier than they are i It would certainly be wise to let them alone ; for, by evincing such an everlasting anxiety about their form of go~ t’rmmenC, l am afraid that we shall give rise to a suspicion, that it is their form of govern ment, a«d not tite ambition of their chief, that we dread, and against which we are about to make war.

It is said, that the other arrondissements of Paris will be successively subjected to th;s hul thcn. It is also raid, hut we believe the report to be without f m idation, that the al - I d troops which are to remain at Paris will b equally distributed over all the houses of the city. The Prince of F.ckmulil has disavowed his s gm nre affixed to the pretended address ff i n the army to t.a-Chamber of Peers.

After the lapse of 10, 12, and e ven 15 days, there were found among the dead carcasses great numbers of the w .uo ded, who, impelled by madness or hunger, had cat of the bodies of the men and horses that surrounded them. I say madness, be cause there were some of them who even then cried, in their dying agonies, Vive le Emfie reur, as they were raised up by the persons engaged in the removal. Extract of a letter received by a gentleman of Stamford. “ We arrived here two d »ys after the bat tle and took tne first moment to go upon the field. I do not think it is possible for lan guage to describe the horrors of the eight;— thousands ot men and horses lying on the ground in a state of putrefaction, and in eve ry variety of shocking and mangled deformi ty. The peasantry (whose first object was stepping and plund :r) were employed in bu rying and burnmg the bo.Ja s ; but I am told tiiat ytt ih re are great numliers on the ground, and ot course m a still mote horrible state. It vv.is at a farm which from a singu lar coincidence, is call-d La die lie Alliance, that the conflict was most severe; its situation is close to the road, leading from Waterloo to Namur, and about three English imles from the f .riner place.

The first article communicated is a report to Bonaparte himself from count Lariboissiere, lus orderly officer, on the war in La Vendee He writes from Nantes under date of the fifth of June, that Charpentier must have at least 1*2,0*.)men. to restore the country to orders In a memorial of general Churpcutier, it ia st led that gen. Travot had only 2,300 troop of the hue at his disposal. la a report from the orderly officer Planat, to Bonaparte, dated Montauban, June 3, it is said among olhet things, “ the spirit of the people in tin* department of the Tarn and Garonne is rxtrea-.ly bad : the words coun try, glory, indtpeud nee, national cause, are there objta ts of ridicule.'* In a report from die orderly officer Hesig nv, dated Bordeaux, we read the following among other statements :—“ The popular feeling at Bordeaux is, I can assure your majesty, detestable—It at present scents to be peaceable ; but it can in no respect be de pended upon. Attachment to the Bourbons is here extreme among the men, and among the women it has risen to a kind of fanaticism. The authorities are afraid of adopting severe measures, because they themselves might be come the victims of them. 'Flit- royalist par ty has already the people wholly on their side, and are not sparing of their gold—The extraordinary commissioner has e file ted no good in this part of the country. He says, “ \vs tnmt gain time ; it the emperor is vic torious, if! will go well, without adopting se vere measures ; but if he is vanquished, all that has been done will be of no avail.’ The royal confederation is much more formidable than was thought, though for a long time it was deemed ridiculous. The arrival of the king of Naples in France, wlmh has been known here these three days, has produced the worst impression.” Fleury, cabinet secretary* of Bonaparte, writes from Bourg-livre, under date of the fltii of June, that the se.n et agent wno was u* have arrived in Switjsrland, was not at the place of his destination, hut had set oil' for Vienna. Joseph Bonaparte, under date the 13th June, sent tne following letter to his brodu r Napolccr., in relation to another secret a eent. _ “ Sir?—The Swiss Oliv;er, of the Pays de Vaud, whom your Majesty lately s w, has returned from his native country, lie brings with hint details which can be communicated to your majesty alone. 1 therefore send him to you.—1 he devotedness cf this man s un doubted.

Note in Bonaparte's hand writing : “ June 11th, setoff from Paris and slept at Laon ; the 13tii slept at Avesncs ; the 14th, at B. fBeaumont.)” Bonaparte's travelling library was found in s:x trunks, & amounted to about 600 volumes. Among them were, Homer,Ossian,.Voltaire’s Works, Gil Bias, Don Quixotte, Voltaire’s Charles XII. 6cc. all beautiful editions. Bonaparte wrote on the 11th June the fol lowing note to count Luvallette, director gen eral of the posts: “ Monsieur Count Lavallette—As I said in iny speech of this day, that I snould depart this night, I wish you would look to it, that no post horses be taken from the road by which 1 travel ; that particular attention be given to the persons to whom horses are given on the neighboring roads, and that no courier or estafettr be sent off.” On the 11th of June, Bonaparte wrote sev en notes to the war minister, marshal Da voust ; among which a-e the following— “ Pray let Marshall M-S3cna come ; should he want to go to Metz, he should be appointed governor there, and have the su preme command of the 3d and 4th Military divisions. Look to it tli.it (hero the name is wanting) he w ith the army of the north.” In another letter he says, “ Let Ney come if he wishes to*be present at the nut battle, lie must dc at Aveanes i»y the J3tb, wheie my head quarters will be.’’ “ I perceive,” says be, in a third letter to the minister of war, •• that the federates are 14,000strong—8000 muskets have been given to them } one-third of these peupie are, how even still unarmed ; I think th s is sufficient, as they may continue to be armed with the muskets that are daily finished, and as we have still 300,000 inn to arm, who should b • levied. Pray give ine the assurance that fr un tills <1 ite to the IStli, all th« national guards in Alsace, Lorraine, and lbauphiny, snail he armed.” A fourth letter to Ecknmril. is as follows— One hundred ar.d fifty-eight naval can non have been brought to Paris. Look to it that they be placed in the battery by the 20th instant—-82 others will be brought before that date, ft is important that these 240 pi ’ces should be mounted by the 20th, that l may be without anxiety about the city of Pa ris. “ I wish,” says he, in another letter to the war minister, to have a statement of the muskets, and the place* where they are. Send MOO to Soissons, to be at my dis p.’tul, 3000 to Guise, and 3000 »•> Avesnc*. But they must be sent quickly, that when we are victorious, I may arm with them the pea sants in Belgium, Liege, fkc*—-Give ine also a list of the Belgian officers who are here. B ud also a Belgian staff. You know how ne cessary these people may become.” Another letter to the w ar mimstof the IJth June, is as follows—*• Acquaint marshal Su chet by ert tfette 8t by telegraph that h< stint •• will commence on the 14th, & that on that day j hr. may incke himself master of Montineiltan. It s necessary that he should make hostile niovem n s before, that tune.” To the minister of marine Bonaparte wrote on the ll h. “1 d-rert that you break off *11 communication* by sea, and th .t un person nor packet boat dare to pass any more, un der any pretence whatever.” The following is another letter dated Paris, June II, to In i favorite orator, count Kegu tuld dc St Jean D’Angoly — “ 1 have received your letter. I have fix 1 ®d at 60,000 francs, includ! • eiorv tli • he salary of ministers of stat He aides this, I have ordered Peyruchc to pay v«>u 6,000 francs monthly, in your capacity of President, to tong at /shall hr with thcarmy. I desire that this additional salary remain secret There is a note below the minute, “ wrote in consequence to baron Pcyruch.” It is rather unlucky that this little arrange ment between Bonaparte and his orator could not remain secret. PRETENDED SON OF LOUIS XVI. To the list of wonders (says the Loudon paper of July 23) we have to add, that there is now in London a person who left France a bout a month ago, who insists that lie is no less a person than the Dauphin, who, accor ding to all accounts. died in the Temple. He alledges, that he was confuted to a cottager in the department of the Ardennes, in the ye.r 1793, and that tne boy who died in trie Tem ple was substituted for him by the person who carried him off. He says that he did not make his case known to Louis XVIII. till last year, whi n it was done through the medium of Gen. Dumonceau, to whom he communica ted his h:ttory. The answer of Louis XVIII. was, as we are informed, that he should pre sent himsell—which, however, was not done for reasons which we caiyait enter into at present. We understand that he has applied to be admitted to an interview with the Duchess d’Angoulemc, sii.ee her arrival i,» London, which has been refused, on account ot the want of such proofs as are thought ne cessary to support his most extra irj'matv statement—which proof, however, he says he can produce when in France.
