It is with no little pain that we witness jhe recurrence of tilde wanton in sults on the part of British officers. So long as our flag is thus spurned, and our citizens mal-treated, even in fight of our own (bores, by the officers of Great Britain, so long will time exert its influence in vain to heal the wounds and foften the hostile feeling produced by the late war. A con dud so arrogant can not be calmly borne, and if persist ed in, must ever prevent the restora tion of a cordial friendifh between the two nations. National ‘lntelligencer.

Arrived yeftrday, the cartel Blip Woodrop Sims, Captain Jones, of Philadelphia, in 33 days from Ply mouth, England, with about 350 American prisoners from Dart moor. We learn by this arrival, that Mr Gallatin left London on the Bth July, for Liverpool, at which port he intended to embark in a few days for the United States. Commodore Barney had .arrived cut with defpatches from our go vernment. The U States ship Analcftan had alio arrived at a port near Ply mouth. It was reported that the United States* frigate tongrefs, Captain Morris, with Dr. Eultis and suite on board, had passed up the Chan nel. To the politeness of a refpe&a ble friend, the editors of the Com mercial Advertiser are indebted for London dates, received by this ar rival, to the 9th. The Duke of Wellington, and field marshal prince Blucher, at the head of the allied army, entered Paris on the 7th of July ; Louis 18, king of France, ai rived at his capi tal on the Bth, and the arrival of tb? emperors of Ruflia and Austria was expeded on the fame evening. Lord Caflfereagh also arrived on the Bth. Os Bonaparte we have no certain intelligence. The moft plausible rumour refpeding him is, that he failed from Rochefort in a French frigate on the 2d of July.

Brussels , July 1. PROCLAMATION. The King To The French People• The gates of my kingdom at Est open before me; I baften to bring back my milled fubjeds, to mitigate the calamities which I had wifiled to prevent, to place myelf a iecond time between the allied & the French armies, in the hope that the feeling of consideration of which I may be the objed may tend toffieir preservation. This is the only way in which I have wished eo take part in the war, I have not permitted any prince of my family to appear in foreign ranks, & have restrained the courage of thofp of my servants who Tad been able to range themselves around me. Returned to the foil of my coun try, I take pleasure in speaking con -1 fidence to my people. When I ! firft re-appeared among you, I found men’s minds agita'ted and heated by confli&ing passions. My views encountered on every fide nothing but difficulties and ob* ftacles. My government was lia ble to commit errors ; perhaps it did commit them *rhere are times when the purest intentions are fufficient to diredt, or fometies they even mislead. Experience alone could teach ; it (hall not be loft All that can save France is my wiffi. My fubje&s have learned by cru el trials, that the principles of the legitimacy of Sovereigns is one’of the fundamental bases of social or der—-the only one upon which, amid ft a great nation, a wife and well ordered liberty can be eftab liffied. This dedtrine has just bedh proclaimed as that of all Europe. I had previously consecrated it by my charter, and to add to that charter all the guarantees which can secure the benefits of it. The,. unify of ministry is the flrongeft which I can offer. I mean that it should exist and that the frank and firm march of my council should guarantee” all inter ests and calm all inquietudes. Some have talked latterly of the restoration of tylhes and feudal rights. I .his fable, invented by the common enemy, do-** not re quire refutation. It will not be ex peded that the king should flop to refute calumnies and lies-; thefuc cefs of treason has too clearly in dicated their source. If the ptlr chafers of nationalpropertyhave felt alarm, the Charter should fuffice to re-assure them. Did not inyfelf propose to the Chambers, & cause to be executed, Tales of such pro perty ? This proof my finccrity is 1 unanswerable. In • these latter times, my fubjedts of all daffies have given me qual proof of love and fidelity, I vvifh them to know how sensibly I feel them, & it is from a mong all Frenchmen I (hall flight toehoofe those who are to approach my person and my family. I vvifh to exclude from my presence none but those whole celebrity is matter of grief to France, and of horror to Europe. In the plot which they, hatched, I perceive many of my fubjedts milled, and feme guilty. I promise—who never premfed in vain, (all Europe knows it) —to pardon milled Frenchmen, all that has palled since the day when I quitted Lille, amidst so many tears up to the day when I re-entered Chambrai, aindift so many accla mations. Bnt the blood of my peop!e*has flowed, in consequence of a treason of which the annals of this world present no example. That treason has summoned foreigners into the heart of France. Every day re veals to me anew dil'after I owe it then to the dignity of my Crown, to the interest of my people, to the repose of Europe, to except from pardon the instigators and authors of this horiiole plot# They (hail be designated to the Vengeance of of the laws by the two Chambers which I propose forthwith to aliena ble.
