The

cause i» M. Do Caie. That unworthy
favorite found France at peace, content
ed with its King, and happy under his go
vernment. The Chamber of Deputies,
at once tlie friend of the throne and the
charter, united the King and the people }
hut unhappily this same Chamber would
not truckle to lb ej'avevtte, and lie Caze
hail power enough over the mind of the
weak monarch to induce h»m to dissolve
a representation, whose fault was, that it
was at once too independent ol the min
ister, and too much attached to the mon
arch. Dnt the mere dissolution of the
(iha.aber would have brfen insufficient to
have secured the favorite i the real sense

J election, which threw the power into
the hands of the oid jacobin party. All
thr friends df good order and the charter
apposed this horrible violence, and forc
revolutionary effect, lit vain—
the favorite carried all before him. 'l'he
royalists were every where persecuted,
prosecuted, and punished; the revolu
tionists were every where employed, en
(ourag-.d, and intintud. Madame, the
orphan of the Temple, Monsieur, the
King’s brother, were insulted and aimoat
diiven from the Court; while Uavousl
was created aTeermul a Duke, and Gc
neral Vandainmc, of butchering memory,
and Ucgn.mil, Napoleon's load cater, were
recalled from exile ; La Fayette, us vain
and silly as he was thirty years ago, was
re-elected to the new National Conven
tion ; the demagogue Manuel was forced
upon the electors of La Vendee; andGre
goric, the regicide, was brought forward
again to try whether the King Jind the
nerves to stand the siglft of his brother’*
blood: he stood it all, and the fivorile
stood also ; but the blood of Loi,K.’s ne
phew, assassinated so near his person that
ids own turn might come next, did, it
seems, touch at last the generous soul of
ihts Monarch ; and the favorite, after hav
it.g turned out two sets of colleague*—
the one because they -toun'd alter the Law
ot Llccuoim, and the other because they
would not— was himself tm/lnrly removed,
with the title of a Bake, and the rank of
Ambassador to England— we say the rank,
because we cannot believe that the French
government will dare la insult the Eng

The Law of Elections, thus made by
Be Caze for his own purposes, thus favor

thus fertile in Jacubiu Itegicidcs ami Jlu

repealed, and the attempt to undo this
Gordian knot of Be Gaze's lias brought
the Monarchy to the brink of a precipice
—over which, even while we wale, it may
have already fallen.
To hear all the crias which are uttered
about tlie Charter, one could scarcely be

be repealed, w'as made about four ycais

of the law which was instituted at the re

ter itself. De C«ze and his clique were
the innovators } and the object of die pre

fail | the utiaehief is too strong, ami they

The following speech wo* pronounced
by the assassin Lonvel,before the Chamber
of Peers, in n faltering voice and n tone
scarcely audible. It may he considered
hs the essence of the desolating pi incipJes
which for many years have been perver
ting his mind; and the eff.-et w hicli it pro
ilue.ed was so much the more profoundly
felt, that none of the ordinary motives
which excite men to political crimes seems
to havetho slightest influence on him Jt
was the result of an abstract perversion ol
moral notions operating on a weak intel
lect, but on a determined resolution—Luu
vel seemed to represent the genius us e
vil; he was Jacobinism personified, dis
passionately promulgating its doctrines,
though sometimes a trait of obliterated ku
inanity intervened, and astonished the au
ditor:—
** • have to-day to blush for a crime
which I alone committed; I have, how tv,
er, in dying, the consolation of thinking
tliat I have dishonored neither the nation
nor my family. 1 ought to be considered
as a Frenchman who has devoted himself
to he sacriliced, in order to destroy, in vie.
tut of my system, a portion of those im i
viduals who have taken up arms against
their country; 1 am accused of having de
prived a prince of his life. 1 am alone
guilty; hut among the men who hold the
reins of government, there are others as
guilty as I mu; they have proclaimed ac
cording to my notions, crimes for virtue*.
Thu worst Governments which Fr» ; ■ ...is
had, have always punished those who be
txayt d it, or who carried arms against the

etratcd the King’s palage, and put their,

as Louis XVI. and his fondly were long
ia a slate of imprisonment, one cannoi
conceive that the nation di.t not approve;
so that had there been but a few persons
concerned in it he would not have peddl
ed —the whole nation would have oppos
ed it. To-day the Bourbons pretend to
he mast sis of the nation; but in my judg
ment, the bourbons are guilty, ami the
nation would be dishonored if it suffered
them to govern it.”
The obduracy exhibited by Loavel du
ring the whole of his liiul, did not forsake
. hi in to the lust. He supped the night on
which he received lus sentence, with a
good appetite, drank a whole bottle of
wine with a degree ot disgusting sensuali
ty, and praised it as being to his taste-, he
ordered line sheets to be pul on Iris bed;
, an indulgence which was granted him.—
“1 was very well pleased with the Cham
ber of Peers,” said he, “only one thing
vetted me: that is, that tne trial lasted two
days.” “Why,” said one ofnis guards,
“you gain a day by it; : ' “and 1 consider it
time lost,” replied the murderer, —“Why
do you persist in not calling for the conso
lations of religion; why do you not scad
, lor a priest?” (said one of the guards.)
I.ouvel.—“Can a priest send me to heav
en?” Guard.—“if you repent sincerely,
you may be pardoned by the Abwghty.—
I.mrvel—“Do you think the Prince of
Goode is in Heaven?” Guard.—“As far
as we arc able to judge, he is so, lor lie
I lived a good life, and suffered whilst on
' earth; his recompense, then, wc may be
| permitted to think, must be in the other
world.” Louvel. —“Kh Bien, (well then)
j 1 would fain go ttiere, in order to torment
him.” The above conversation may be
j depended on as coming from one wbo
. heard it personally.
The tranquility qf the town has not
, been disturbed during the last three days,
' The lower classes of the people have tak-
eu no part whatever, in the insurrection*

j. niogs, wlien their lime is at their own

’ are generally disturbed by the wine they
~ purcliase, duly free, ou the out|kle of the

i, Grace says, wilt be deprived of that claim
; to the compassion of the inhabitants of
, the Island, which, from their forlorn and
destitute condition, had been afforded
them.

At the time the Pertsliire sailing, they

The article from the London Morning
• Post, on the alarming state of in
France, presents a gloomy picture of tht
. conflicting parties which agitate the peace
i and safety of that ill-fated country. The
’ remarks of the Post are illiberal and un
j just; and the policy of again inteifere
: ing in the government of France, which
• is recommended to Great-Uiitain, is nlai k
ed will, the strongest fcatuics of folly anti
injustice.
' Should a successful revolution take
place in France, it would be tiiliicuh, if
■ not impossible to form another confodei a
tmn, to put down the government of her
t choice. VVitliiiv three or four years past
i the aspect of political society in .Europe*
has undergone considerable change.-—lie-
I publican principles have taken deeper
root—the rights of man arc mores highly
appreciated—and the people will not, as
I heretofore, be so easily diverted from their
own interest, and the weight of their own
grievances. It will be bard so lure them
I into a contest incapable of meliorating
; their condition either in a moral, civil, or

> A New-York paper says—“We are in
formed that the Cadets from VVest Point
will arrive in this city next week, and af
ter gratifying the citizens with a parade
■ through the principal streets, will proceed
1 to Staten Island, when they will take up
the line of march for Brunswick, Trenton,
&o. to Philadelphia, then return to this
• cit£ and march over the mountains to West
Point.” v
We sincerely hope that this march will
be literally and truly a military march *
that these y oung Cadets, w bile professing
to learn the hardships, the toils and priva
tions of a mania! life, will encamp on
, their route; that they will mil be allowed
to do what has hitherto been done on a
similar occasion—and that is to accept of *
invitation to balls, parties and routes up
on their passage, and to wind down the
mazes of an effbmimte dance.

instructed by hi* government instantly to
remove thesame, and to offer to them 1
the customary civilities of the port.—Some <
