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 o, France w.i# against the upstart and Ins lie thcre'bre took Die bold re solution of poisoning Hie Very springs and sources of representation, by a new Into 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 lish nation by the actual presence of hi. Be Caze. The Law of Elections, thus made by Be Caze for his own purposes, thus favor able to the revolutionary doctrines, and thus fertile in Jacubiu Itegicidcs ami Jlu napurliet deputies, was of course to he 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 lieve that tliu law, which is attempted to be repealed, w'as made about four ycais ago by Be Caze, lute a Cleric of old Ma dame Bonaparte's, and substituted instead of the law which was instituted at the re storation of the Monarchy with the Char ter itself. De C«ze and his clique were the innovators } and the object of die pre sent Government is only to undo the mis chief done by the others; but they will fail | the utiaehief is too strong, ami they are too weak; and the Dike of Richelieu, and tlie tecond-hatul Cabinet, which lit has formed, neither UoyuUks or Libcrales, will speedily, we fear, be overthrown; Mid the Itoj a) Family seems to us (we .say it with a heavy heatt, not unlikely to hi forced to a new emigration, in which, wt venture to predict, that the grates li Du- Cane will «»< follow them.

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*.

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* t not even on Saturday and Sunday eve j. niogs, wlien their lime is at their own ditposal. Ou these occasions, their heads ’ are generally disturbed by the wine they ~ purcliase, duly free, ou the out|kle of the , barriers.

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 1 political point of view. . From the Phila. Franklin Gax of yesterday. 1 TUB TEtLOW FETE 11. ) Since the YELLOW FEVEU appeared in this city, one of the Editors has repeat [ cdly visited the Health Oilice, with a view ' of communicating to our fellow citizens in telligence of the danger, should any exist; but confidently belciving that none was to ' be apprchend&d, the paper has been silent 1 on tire subject. Li consequence, how. j fever, of the circulation of numerous „ groundless reports, we have deemed it [ expedient to stale to the public such in formation as we have obtained, *u the • truth of which they may rely, as it was ' procured from official sources. i During the last fortnight, twelve cases | of the Yellow Fever have unquestionably i occurred here, out of which there have f been nine deaths; and the three surviving r persons were promptly removed to the r country. No case of it remains at this , t«ne in the city. Since Saturday last , there have been two new cases, which oc i curred _en Wednesday, and which are in t eluded in the above mentioned twelve— - the disease has been confined to a small i spot, not eighty yarns in extent, in Water t near Race-street, from which the Board , °1 Health have removed every family, ex i ce P* one, the head of which refused to go. , This family have been interdicted all in -1 tercourse with eveiy other part of the city, i -, 1 , hoard have also fenced up the space , in which the contagion has appeared. Dr. Dykernan, fronrNew-York, is at nre j sent on a visit here, to obtain information on the subject. He will have every op . portunity of personal observation, and will . probably address the board of health, by •, whom the facta requested will no doubt be f immediately stated in writing, i —«♦,— ' Fxtract of a letter from a travelling' eorres f ponilent. dated Troy, August 2. j , “I can say now as the Queen of Sheba i did, the one half had not been told-” I 1 thought 1 had pictured a tolerably' correct i idea of the situation of this place, but - when I saw it, I found it much worse.— 1 The ruins are still smoking, and the smell I at this moment is very bad.” • F'-omthe Baltimore Morning Chronicle. > 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.

We learn from a respectable source, that immediately after the arrival of the Columbus in the Hay of Gibraltar, ami be fore she anchored, a despatch was deliv. ered to Commodore Buxboidoe, from Governor P‘»w, acquainting him with the measures of restriction he had thought it us duty to impose upon the American < squadron, in March last, but that he was instructed by hi* government instantly to remove thesame, and to offer to them 1 the customary civilities of the port.—Some < time being taken in investigating the eir- i cuinstances of this transaction, (which ot course Com Bainbridge was ignorant of,) i Gov.
