LATEST FROM ENGLAND. Mem- Porfc, July 2,12 o'clock—-Moon. To our attentive correspondents at Boston, we are in debted for extracts from London papers to the 20th of May, anALloyd’sLists to the 21*t, Doth inclusive. They Were received at Boston by the s'nip Margaret, captain M*Lellan, which arrived there Saturday night, in thirty • Tour days from Liverpool. London, May 16. The morning after tlie action at Grenoble, upwards of ^ixty of the rebels were brought into the town and re ceived by the wtiole population with cries of Five Is Jioi.' An inkeeper ip Ebens, who lodged the chief of the in surgents, and was himself concerned in the plot, was t-.- ien up -by order of the prefect, and gave such important information as enabled the prevotal court to follow the thread of the conspiracy and ascertain "the individuals that directed it. In the mean time the troop.s of the line are in pursuit of the rest of the rebels, whilst those that have been taken are upon trial. May 17.—Tiie French papers assure us that perfect tranquility has been restored to tile department ol the * fcere, but’measures of vigor and precaution continue to be adopted. All those who give asylum to the rebels are to be considered as accomplices. Assemblages on- the public squares, streets and ramparts, are prohibited, under the most rigorous penalties. ParticuL j- orders are given with respect to foreigners resident at Grenoble.— Meanwhile, troops are pouring into the department of the Isere from all quarters. May 18.— The insurrection at Grenoble continues to form tiie principal feature of the intelligence c ntained in our French papers. Government have published in the Moniteur some official detads, by wiuch it appears that the rebels were divided into two bands, one of wnich was to attack the to .vn from Without, whilst tue otuer was to rise upon the inhabitants within. Tne latter hod par- kzans in the town, and the attack from without was to be Sip signal for rising. General Donadicu and tiie prelect ■ xeceived on the 4tn, in the evening, advices wnich left no doubt of the intentions of the disaffected, and mea sures of vigor were instantly adopted. Ihiese the rebels ■did not expect; they hud anticipated an easy conquest, and conceived that the; place would be taken by surprise. ^Fiiat their Ulterior projects were uf.er getting possession of Grenoble, we know not. The Moniteur says, that im portant revelations had been maue, and tne chiefs ol the ■conspiracy have been tried. According to the official account in the Moniteur, tiie rebels have been complete ly put down; the ncigliboring communes, widen had ibeen misied by the false declarations of die rebels, hav ing submitted and requested forgiveness. Tiie ntighbor- 1 dng departments were eager to send troops and adopt every measure calculated to put down tiie rebellion and prova their own loyalty.

Arrived in the bay last night, siiip Margaret, M‘Lel- lan, from Liverpool—bringing papers of tnat city to die 25th May, and London to the ISth; with the perusal of which we have been favored by Mr. Jack, keeper of the E. C. H. books.— The emperor of Russia has addressed a letter to the courts of Europe, stating that his holy league with Aus tria and Prussia, lias no other objects in view than pea ceably to found the enternal peace and happiness of states, &c. Spus.—Letters from Bilboa, of 29th ultimo, mention, that the deputies from the three free provinces of Biscay had assembled for the purpose of agreeing on measures of opposition to the pl..n of Ferdinand’s ministers, who appear resolved to establish custom-houses in Biscay, contrary to the constitution and rights of the the pro vinces of Biscay, Aleba and Guipuscon. The following very singular occurrence is asserted to have taken pL.ce at Amiens:— A person having sounded the political sentiments of the attorney general of that district, the latter, anxious to discover what secret project there might be on foot, pretended to acquiesce in the sentiments of lus compan ion, and at. length consented to accompany hint blind fold to a meeting where those projects were to be de veloped. He was accordingly led bv his conductor •hro , manv turnings and windings, but (as he strong- lv s-.is <acted) without ever being taken out of the town of Amiens. \t length his t yes were unbound, and he found himself in the midst >f i number of persons, many of whom he well knew. Thev firs* swore secrecy, and then exposed to him their plan, the iltimr.te object of which was, that with which the revo'ution first began— namely/a change of dynasty, by the elevation of the branch of Orleans to the throne. After having, as they thought, fully eniis’ed him in this scheme, he was driven home with the same caution as he was brought to the meeting; but the first use he made of his liberty was to inform the ordfect, and through him the government, of what had happened. Orders were inconsequence issu ed for apprehending all the conspirators that were known to thii gentleman, and for instituting a strict, search after tlifc rest.—London paper. ♦crests our commercial readers, lias been transmhtec from the Neapolitan minister of foreign affairs to M.

During these events, the French funds have remained steady, a proof that the rebellion was not con sidered as at all dangerous to tho stability and security of the government. May 20.—The Paris Journals to the 17th bring no further details of the insurrection at Grenoble. It lias "been completely crushed, and ail was tranquil in that quar- ter. The principal instigator of this mad scheme was a lawyer, named De lier, one of those worthless beings whom the weak policy of the king’s government in 1614 loaded with honors and preferments. A rew.jvl ot . twenty thousand francs is now offered for iiis apprehen sion, and it is thought that lie will soon be seized. The French government, we are happy to find, acts with en ergy and fifmness. To a man who was condemned to ■death by tne' prevotal court at Grenoble, and by that •ourt (not remarkable for its mildness) recommended to mercy, the king has re fa sad a pardon. Some of the private letters speak of commotions, and indications of commotion, in various parts of France.— This probably is the fact. The insurrection at Grenoble, ■and the reports circulated by tne jacobins, would en courage the disaffected to shew themselves. At Paris the government is on the alert, displaying vi- S i lance. decision and strength. The twenty-one lndivi- uals, arrested hv the police, have been handed over fo the royal court of Paris, wuere die proceedings against them are in train. The military guard ..re increased, tiie ♦seditious groups inspected and dispersed. Let the mi nistry thus mmifest their power, and it will speedily be conciliated. These are not the times in France to talk «f gentleness. Power alone must govern sometimes; lenity is despised. The French have so long been ac- -•uscomed to obey only the guillotine blade of Robes pierre, or the sword of Bonaparte, that it will be some time before they bow to the wand of the civil officer. Paris, May 14. Some disturbances are said to h ive taken place at Di jon, but I know not with what truth. At Lyons the dis affected entertained new hopes, plans were laid for inter cepting the dispatches of government, anil seditious proclamations were seen on the Walts. No precaution is neglected to insure the tranquility of this immense me tropolis. The regiments of tne guard are re.idv night and cLy, their horses saddled and bridled. Ail the acti vity of the police is used to counteract any plots of the disaffected. His in vjesty having so often exerted his clemency in vain, has refused extending the royal pardon to David, condemned by the prevotal court at Grenoble. for being concerned in the late insurrection, and recom mended to mercy by that tribunal.

The truth he knew would come home to every 3ritish bosom. In America there was a zeal for the educat ion of the poor; and he regar ded it as one of the most glorious of the blessings derived from their British ancestors.” The proposing of thanks to the royal chairman having been put by Mr. Adams, and received with acclamation; his royal highness the duke of Kent said, “I feel gratified that this motion came from the minister of the United States. I have long lived in the neighborhood of the United States and it was ever a grief to me that the two countries should be at variance.

Lord Althorpe, on the night of the 7th lilt, in the Bri tish house of commons, brought forward his promised motion for the appointment of a committee to enquire into the incretse or diminution of offices and salaries since the year 1798, with power to report to the house, from time to time, vhethcr any, or what further diminution might be madfe consistent with public s; fety; and he mt.s fh ’ ’ well as bv sevaal members who voted indifferently.— Tiie niri bers vere thus swelled on a division to 126 for the motion, agtinst it 169. On this subject, lord Castlcreagh, in reply to Mr. Lambc and others, observed, if he thought that the gen tlemen about hkn, (Mr. Lamb,*) for their economy or for any tiiinT else, poss ssed nWe of the confidence of the nation, in G od’s n mie let him bring this to some prac tical test—let thiifye done, and it’the result were such as Mr. Lambe might expect it would he, let the present ministers retire: bat be horn. .1 they would not be for a moment continued in the ro. res, fterthat confidence had been withdrawn, which the executive government ought always to possess-—(hear, hear!}—the protection which was •>forded them from responsibility, he.spurned; he disdained to cover hi.nst if by adopting the course re commended, and he again (t iled upon the honorable gentleman to bring the question he nail raised to some practic.J issue with the le.iSt possible delay—[hear, hear!] —There was no greater delusion practice d in the whole circle of politics than that which was attempted by the honorable gentleman opposite, (and by the honorable and learned gentlem ai in pmlicul.irj when they endeavor ed to make the public believe, that the distresses which might be complained of in the country, grew out of the v»st s ims paid to persons in office. If the whole amount of official emoluments were at once swept away from the expenditure of the n-tion, it would have little to do with the question of distress. The people would suffer in the Same degree whatever ..rrangement might be made with respect to these. But it was contended that it was not so much the expence as the influence of the crown that was to fie drer. led, when these offices were under the consideration of the house. He denied that the in fluence of the crown had dangerously encreased; he shewed this to have beeen at no distant period the dis tinctly avowed opinion of the p l-iiinienf. Mr. Tiernev replied to the noble lord with marked in dignation—“tf, s id he, he had evep ever seen a sense of danger evinced bv the assumption of a loud and over bearing tone of voice. If eve*-he had seen an attempt to conceal weakness by . n important strut—if ever he had seen a man endeavoring to look tall by raising himself on s*ihs—if ever he had seen a minister conscious that he was going down in public estimation, he had seen it tliis night in the conduct of the noble lord. The noble lord imputed io his opponents a wish to make themselves po pular by running the present ministers down. On this he had to observe, that he and his friends did not deal in sinecures,and therefore this office would not do »">r them. It was not the opposition in that hcujMk hut tne country, which called for economy, as inigfivbe seen from the immense load of parchment, beneath the weight of which their table could scarcely stanrl, which had been forwarded to them from all quarters, petitioning for re trenchment and relief. 1; was said they wished to run a r. re in courting public fuvor. Now what is the fact? tiie noble lord had given notice of iiis motion for a com mittee three weeks' ago. One of the gentlemen oppo site had then given notice of a motion for the appoint ment of another committee, and here the race began— and ought it to be a mutter of reproach to his noble friend, that when he was about to mount his horse, an other honorable gentleman thought proper to mount his nag too. [a laugh.] It now came out that the noble lord opposite thought an enquiry by a committee of that house was one of the mist .darming things that could be contemplated. He told them that if they voted for the committee, they at once withdrew their confidence from him. He had no confidence to withdraw from the no- bie lord, as he had given him none, but he thought they had now heard one of the speeches which he [lord C.] was in the habit of making in private, at those drills, to wnich a chosen few were admitted, to whom those mea- s ires were communicated which were afterwards to come before the house. These persons were then told; when any objectionable measure was to be pressed upon them —“rhut it might not be so pleasant as could be wished.” but it was added “if you do not *'ote for it, y ou remove the"government, and then what will you do?” This ter rible threat lied been held out so long, that it began to lose its effect. It might be seen from what had occurred with respect to the property tax, that ministers would not very precipitately give up their places. He would answer for it, the noble lord opposite, provided the house would let him, would be content to sit on the treasury bench till the end of time—[a laugh]—What ever establishments might be voted by the house, large or small; army or no army, 1 he [lord,Lastlercagli] and his right honorable friend tiie chancellor of die exchequer would still be content to remain the ministers of the country, if only a corporal’s guard and a bank token re mained at their command.—[A laugh.] THE CH ANNEL FLEET. The arrival in the British channel on the 8th inst of thirteen sail of large China ships of the East India com pany, after a passage of only one hundred and nine days from China, is an occurrence of the mercantile marine without example, in all its circumstances of fortune and naval skill in science. These shipshearing in China,in December, of the great event of Waterloo, and judging rightly of its consequences,' sailed homewards in three separate divisions, and arrived together at St. Helena.— From thence they were despatched two and two but all arrived at once on our coast—one of the clearest eviden ces of nautical skill and tiie prefection of our sailing science in the modern mode, by observation of the celes tial bodies, that have ever been practically given. These heavy ships, from their construction and great lading, have every practical disadvantage; nor will strong and fair winds avail through the long path of twp wide oceans, without geographical knowledge and skill in nautical as tronomy, which, for the last twenty years, have been the distinguishing and pre-eminent faculty of the comman ders and officers of the English Bast India company’s trading gajleei^g * * J LoxfioN, May 10. As some of our readers may be curious tt> know the descent of the prince lately married to the heiress of the British throne, we state that German genealogists *race the origin of the present Saxon princes to AViti- kind, the celebrated chief of the Saxons, who for thirty years contended against all the powers of Charlemagne, and who, after his final submission to that conqueror, still retauned large territorial possessions, together with the ducal title. From him wi re de sceiided the dukes of Saxony, of whtim Bernard, in 1212, was the first that was raised to the electoral dignity. The electorate \v..s enjoyed by the descendants of tills prince, until 1422, when, on the failure of this line, k Was conferred on Frederic “the warlike,” margrave of Thuringia, also a descendant of Witikin. The grandsons of mis latter were Ernest and Albert, from whom are descended the Ernestine ami Aibertine branches of the house of Sax ony. The F.rnestine, which was the eldest branch, con tinued to enjoy the electorate until 1557, when John, “the magnanimous,” was deprived of that dignity by tne emperor diaries V, who conferred it on Maurice, the patriarch of the A ibertine branch, to which the present king of Saxony belongs. “The pr; . stant religion (says a learned writer of the present day j nas the greatest ob ligations to the princes of the Ernestine line; Frederick JA the eldest son of Ernest, was Luther’s first patron and ^defender. John, the second son of Ernest, was the chief promoter of the protestation against tiie church of Rome, from wliich the protestants have derived their aji peiiation.” This Joint w„s s.irnaine-d “the constant.”— He was the father of the Sbovementioned Jonn “the magnanimous,” and grandfather of John Frederick, the founder of the house of Saxe-Cobourg. Of this i'iustiiomi house the late head was tht duke of Saxe-Cobourg, viiu, as our readers must remember, commanded the aided ar mies at all early period of the French revolution; ana prince Leopold, who is united to the princess Ciwiotte, is the youngest son of that eminent comaiunder.

Neuvnie, to represent, near sue United States, tiie returned Bourbons, suggests to a thinking mind!— From the year 1777 to the present day, how many ciia- racter3 b-.ve filled the same diplomatic station? How different tlicir dispositions and their lone! Yet, not more so, titan those of the governments that sent them thev were so many laitidul copyists—so many mirrors, re flecting the form, size, and color of their masters. The history of each unK in this variegated diplomatic chain, wouid be no less amusing than instructive—but such considerations suit not the narrow limits of a new spaper essay. Let us, therefore content ourseivc* with compar ing the two extremities of that chain. In It 77, the cuevaliev Gerard was received, as the re presentative of Louis X\ I, by the supreme national coun cil of confederated America. His reception presented a novel and interesting’ scene. It gave to our infant re public a character of maturity; it confirmed the prin ciples on which the alliance between France and the United States had been formed; it drew near to e: ch otlicr, two nations which hereditary prejudices had liith- erto divided. The enthusiasm which tiie address of Mr. Geraj’d to congress, and the answer of tiiat vendable body, produced throughout America, can scarcely be conceived by tiie most active imagination: Louis XVI had named the representatives in congress assembled “iiis very dear, and very great friends and allies;” tliis appel lation was re-echoed through the country, with blessings , and eulogies on the generous mbnareil, who was co?i- * 1:iV . e 10 “ st fcd you ’ * ’ ~ • - before the other 'world by it* ipJbians and feelings, %n certain s .,t. yet, commercial and other relations connect us different people of the Earth. \V ith them w c , m J , w'e wish .to ' cultivate a friendly intercourse.

Before the chevalier Gerard, or along with him, had landed on the American shores, distinguished members of a brilliant and warlike nobility —the gallant La Fayette, and several others, in whose dispositions were conspicuausiy retraced those noble and grand features which char.icteri red the ancient knights of France, the good Joinville, Uie fearless and reproach less Bayard, Crilion, the bravest of the brave, Sic.—ani mated by that uncontrolable, predominating impulse which urges noble minds to great personal achievements, they aspired to tiie honor of aiding in the protection and nurture of an infant empire, cradled amid die ruins of oppression and tyranny. A powerful fleet, already ho vered along the American coast—more efficient succors were promised—the youtliful monarch and his queen partook in the national enthusiasm for American liberty —a deadly blow was levelled at England—old and deep injuries would be avenged—in short, every circumstance tended to create a lively sympathy between France and America. Such were the auspices under which tiie first French minister appeared in America. \Ve have no room for developments. We, therefore, draw the curtain ever the intermediate scenes, and pass to the arrival of Mr. Be Neuviile. How great, how s.ul the reverse! Where is. the splendor of France? where her sympathy? Where, in short, the powerful tie of common fee tings,'and com mon opinions? Where, too, tne personal claims of tne new minister, who is said to be decidedly hostile to every thing that bears the stomp of republicanism? We see nothing ot ail that—France lias not even retained that pompous magnificience—those gorgeous and spien- elid forms—that gay and resplendent air—which warm the imagination, fascinate the judgment, and offer at least, the shadow of an apology for the absence of more substantial advantages—regulated freedom within, and Without entire political independence. Her decayed and dwindled nobility, far from pnmoting the interests of liberty in other countries, have not been able to pre serve the independence of a throne which Louis XIV or Henry the IV would have blushed to hold from a prince regent ot England or any other potentate.
