The people of the interior of France arc generally in faTor of tbe present government, those of the seaports are averse to it, but their influence does not extend very far into the country.— The new coitstitution is not generally liked ; it is expected that it will not puss without amendments. The repulican party is still strong in France. The rational guar-’s of some departments are federating as in 1792, and some of the newspa pers reprobate the measure as tending to re vive the agitation of tbe early periods of tbe revolution. There are those, likewise who think otherwise, and that the government is uot displeased at being thus, supported. It is thought that if w4r takes place. Switzer land will remain neutral. Out of 22 cantons, 12 only bavp voted for war, and theirconslitulion requires jthe votes of three-fourths of the can- ' ~ l tons before war can be declared. We observe with pleasure that one of the Paris papers observes that the credit of the government of the United States stands higher than that of any other power in the world, and quotes as an instance of the fact, the Louisiana 6 per cents, which were then at 95.

The communication with England was un. interrupted ; the packet* were regularly, ptv injr between the two coutries, and on the 5th of May a -number of passenger* were landed at Calais, with the same security as before the rcsscension of the French emporor.

Fox, in marble,'' sculptured by this lady, who had already presented to him the bust in plaster, after the peace of Amiens.— She had the honor of an interview with the emperor, who, on this occasion, told her that if this distinguished man had lived there would have been peace ; that the debt of England would have been less by a millard. and many thousands of departed men would still be alive.

Here we took off our shoes ; and, entering the . cave, (for such it seemed,) with small aper tures of light with iron grates, we were shewn to a huge, shaggy beast, sitting on hi* rump, upon a low bench, covered with a cushion of embroidered velvet, with bis hind legs gather ed up like a taylor, or a bear. On our ap proach to him, he reached out his fore paw, aa if to receive something to eat. Our guide ex claimed, “ kiss the (ley’s hand l” The consul general bowed very elegantly, and kissed it j and we followed his example in succession.-— The animal seemed at that moment to be in a harmless mood ; he grinned several times, but made very little noise. Having performed this ceremony, and standing a few moments in si lent agony, we had leave to take our shoes and other property, and leave the den, without any other injury than the humility of being ob ig- ed, in this involuntary manner to violate the second commandment of God, and offend com mon decency. “ Can any man believe that this elevated brute has seven kings of Europe, two republics,. and a continent, tributary to him, when his whole naval force is not equal two line of bat tle ships ?

FROM PORTUGAL. Boston, June 27. Capt. LontNG, who arrived yesterday from Lisbon, left that city on the 21st ult. There do not appear to have been any late arrivals from England. War was not known to have commenced, but was expected. A fleet of Bri tish transports had arrived to convoy Portuguese troops to join Lord Wellington’s army. Tbe editor of tbe Evening Gazette has fa vored us with Lisbon papers to the 20th of-May. They contain no English dates later than before received. TRANSLATIONS. Barcelona, April 12. The constitutional party in Barcelona, who are much the strongest in numbers and talents, are altogether in favor of the emperor Napo leon. There are only the priests and monks who fear his influence, but they are oniy the ! minority in power. The other party only wait j for a favorable opportunity to speak openly and I loudly: \ The dissatisfaction with the present govern ment is general. It will produce some insur rectional movements on the first occasion. Al ready they post on placards, Long live napo leon ! Ho more Bourbons ! Rise, liberators ! Barcelona, April 26.—Accounts from se veral parts of the French District of Roussillon, say that great agitation exists there in conse quence of the rigorous orders of Napoleon, re establishing the consolidated duties, levying a contribution for the fortifications and to sup ply them, and conscripting all men from 20 to 40 years of age for the army ; and all from 40 to 60 for the National Guard, and requiring from each of the latter 50 francs to equip them. The dislike to Bonaparte augments daily in France, and needs but some small circum- , stance, to show itself openly, notwithstanding the oppression in which'the people are kept by the troops. On the reading of some of pyre, were for tearing open the grave that con tained the corps of Capt:- Lawrence and scat tering his limbs to be devoured by the fowls of the air, on the bare suspicion that he drew hit first breath in Great Britain!
