King of Hungary, " Read," said he, Francis the last tor there will be no more Kings of Hungary." The States of Brabant afTemblec! on the 17th inllant, when they agreed to grant the subsidies withheld from the two late Emperors—and made so lemn profeffions of attachment and fnbmiliion to their new sovereign. The only boon they a iked in return, was the restoration of the five former Counsellors of the Council of Bra bant, which is to be granted. Van der Noot and Van Eupen are not in cluded in this amnesty. The clergy have likewise profefled their attach ment to the new King, and on every occasion declaim against the new or der of things in France, which they are determined to oppose, lead the French fliould endeavor to commit the fame violation on their property as they have on the estates of their own clergy. In this moment of in vasion, the reconciliation of all par ties is a very material point gained, in securing the Netherlands to their lawful sovereign. Our Mini dry are resolutely deter mined not to interfere in the medi tated war on the Continent. As long as the honor and security and true policy of England allow it, they are determined to refrain from all holti lity. It is evidently for the interest of the country to remain in peace ; but at the fame time, it is known to all the world, that this country is prepared for war.—We wifli earneit ly for a continuance of tranquility, but are prepared for the mod reso lute and vioknt attacks of an open enemy, This morning about one o'clock a terrible fire broke out in a store ware house belonging to Mr. Griffin, in Evangelist Court, Water Lane, Black friars, near Apothecaries Hall. Ma ny of the back houses being very old, and the wind blowing high, the flames raged with so much fury that but few of the unfortunate people had time to do more than get out of their hous es in their fliirts. About fifty hoiifes have been de stroyed, with almost all the furniture which they contained. A letter was received last week from Dr. Willis, by one of his relatives in the country, wherein he exprefleshis expectation of returning to England in a few weeks, and of leaving his Royal patient perfectly reltored to her health. The three grand armies of France are in motion ; but as yet we do not learn that they have committed any acl of hostility. General Brown, a man of great military skill, is to be Commander in Chief of the Austrian army. An express arrived last night at the Secretary of State's Office, with an account of a <u(penlion of iioftilities, for ten days, having been agreed on between the French and Aultrians.— A letter was written by Louis to his nephew the King of Hungary, pres sing him very strongly to an accom modation with the National Aflembly; the (ufpenfion was proposed, in order to have time for an answer from the Court of Vienna; so that there are yet hopes, among the more moderate people in Paris, that a war between the two countries may be averted. In 1745 the French took Oftend, after a ten day's siege. If they should now attempt it, they will be most likely to succeed by a coup-de-main. M. Perigord, late bishop of Autun, arrived in town on Sunday last, ac companied by M. Garat, editor of the Journal de Paris, M. Dumout, of Ge neva, and M. Gallois, all members of the high patriotic party. They dined with M. deChauvelin, the new ambalTador, who is to pre lent his credentials to the King to morrow, and to the Queen on Thurs day. M. Perigord is attached to the em bally. He will entirely superintend the condudt of the nominal minilter ; and as far as age may be supposed to Jiave ripened political wisdom, he is undoubtedly chosen with great pro priety. M. Mienhard, the Secretary of Le gation, is by birth a German, but his regeneration into Patriotic Purity is said to be complete. Orders have been actually sent from Paris for a body of troops to march to Dunkirk immediately, and to be reinforced by about 4000 men ingar rifon there. The situation of Dun kirk is so near, as to be not more than fix hours quick march to Oftend, which is very weakly garrisoned, and could not refilV any regular attack from a large body of forces. The orders given have been so perempto ry to make thegreateft dispatch, that we may expect to hear every day of the French troops being before that place. The policy of this attack is evident, and could not be better con ceived. The French, by taking Of tend, will destroy the nest of priva vateers which are fitting out there with the greatelt alacrity, and must injure French trade very materially. A letter from an Englifli gentleman at Pe terfburgh, gives a very curious account of the present ftatc of that court. The murder of the Kiug of Sweden made a strong impreflion on the Empress ; but it gave such an alarm to the Arch-duke, as was perceptible to every one. He talked publickly of plans being formed to carry him off; and in a converi'ation with her majesty, he spoke in the most unineafured terms, deporting himfelf. fays the letter, "neither as a son, nor as a fubjeft." The health ofthe Em p' ess is not merely on the decline. There is evidently a thorough break up of the constitu tion. Her death, though it will make no change in the abject condition of the people, will be the .-era of a material change in the em pire, for it is likely to be divided. A young man was lately executed at Brussels forenlifting men, not for the Auftvian service. This execution, instead of striking terror, has excited indignation. Emigrations and tiefer tiens art: more frequent than ever. A letter From Gibraltar fays, the brother of] the late Emperor of Morocco is not dead of his wounds, as has been reported. He is now per fectly recovered; and there are actually two! Emperors of Morocco, viz. Muley Ilhani, who was proclaimed at Morocco, and Muley Mama, who has been acknowledged Emperor at Tan giers and Tetuan. The [adics of France have left off rouge ; the chimney-sweepers of England having adopted | it, ought to be afufficient reason for our British fair quitting their disguises and trusting to na ture. There is no colour so attractive as that which ' Nature's own fwest and cunning hand laid on.' Our divine poet vcrv properly calls it ' Celeitial rofv red, Love's proper hue.' THE PUBLIC EDUCATION OF FRANCE. In the plan of public inftrufticn, fubmirtcd to the National Assembly by M. Condorcet, and which is printed for the use of the members, there is the following memorable pafiage : " The principles of morality taught in the fchoob, and in the institutions, shall be those which,founded on natural sentiment and reason, belong equally to all men. The eonftitution, in recognizing the right that each individual has to chufe hi; religious worlhip, and in eftablilh ing an entire eqnaiitv among all the inhabitants of France, does not permit that any mode of religious worlhip ihall be adopted, which exclud ing the children of one part of the citizens, would destroy the equality of advantages, or would give to particular dogmas an advantage contrary to the freedom of opinions. It is therefore rigorously neceflary to separate from morality the principles of all particular reli gions, and not to admit into public inftruftion t:-.e teaching of any mode of religious worlhip. Every one of these ought to be taught in the temples by its proper ministers. The parents, whatever may be their creed, whatever may be their opinion, as to the necessity of fueh or such religion, can then, without repugnance, fend their children to the national establishments, and the state will not, as heretofore, usurp the rights of confidence, under the pretext of en lightening and directing them." STOCKHOLM, April 20 The minor King and the Regent have received an address from the four orders of Stockholm, exprefllng their grief at the late event. It was composed of nine deputies of the No blefle, four of the Clergy, five of the Bourgeoife, and seven of the order ofPeafants.—The confufion is daily subsiding, and the government are relaxing gradually from the severe discipline which was eflablifhed. BAREITH, (Ger.) April 23. Yesterday a detachment of HnlTars of Blanck enftein, 200 men of the re giment of Efterhazy, 40 dragoons, and 232 post-horses, palled by here in their way to the Low Countries. The infantry recruits consisted of 1042 men, and 181 ferrymen and engi neers. G COBLENTZ, April 16. Marshal Broglio returned here on Saturday. Every thingis in motion here, and seems to indicate the ap proach of the time for the execution of the long-intended plan of the emi grants ; however, it is thought that it will be July before any thing ef fectual can be done. »eflerday the King of France's brothrs moved from Mentz and Bin gen. 34 O S T E N D, April 2 J ; We are here as quiet and uncon cerned about a late event at Paris, as if nothing had happened; the Ne therlands are so well furnifhed with German troops, under the beftofdif cipline, that but little fear is enter tained here refperting an attack from that unhappy and divided country. VIENNA. April ij. A body of troops, under the com mand of General Wallis, is marching into Lower Austria, attended by 21 field pices, 6 pounders, two 12 pound ers, and 2 mortars ; 24 battalions of infantry, and 14 divisions of cavalry, in all 40,830 tnen, and attended by 84 pieces of artillery, fix pounders, twelve 12 pounders, and 12 mortars, are 011 the route for the Netherlands.

The Marseilles army is daily increasing ; and it is no longer a secret that their objedi is to ere<ft the southern pro vinces into a Republic.

Yesterday the Minister for Foreign Affairs informed the National AfTem bly that M. de Semonville, who was appointed by the King, Minister Pie nipotentiary to the Court of Turin, has been arretted at Alexandria, oa his journey fiom Genoa to Turin, by order of his Sardinian Majesty, on pretencethat he had no pallporc from the Sardinian government. The court of Turin has iflued orders not to permit M. de Semonville to enter Piedmont ; and M. d'Hauteville, Mi niftei 1 for Foreign Affairs, has sent a courier to the Courr of France, with dispatches full of complaints against the Ambaflador, and faying that ii was exceedingly dangerous to fuffer him to reside at Turin. He is also accused ot having endeavoured to ex cite tumults. His Sardinian Majesty entreats the King of the French to appoint another Ambaflador in his room. M. tie Semonville lias written seve ral letters to M. de la Lande, the French Secretary of Legation, com plaining of the outrageous inlulis of fered to the representatives of the French nation. M. Dnmourier then read a copy of the dispatches which he has sent to M. de la Lande.—ln these beexprefi es his aftonifhinent that a French Am ballador ihould be insulted and ar retted, while the French rebels who have emigrated are epenly protected.

This day isappointed for the march of M. i!e Biron, with an advanced detachment of the army towards Mons, which will be the firlV (cene of aJtioiu—the emhufiaf,.. of the army is at its heighth. It is im poflible for to conceive of more ala crity, more vigour, or more fangui lie hopes. We as usual, a number c f horrible reports. The Duke 0 f Brunfwick (hot at a review—the Bi shop of Spires dead—the Eledtos of Bavaria murdered, &c. &c. M. Bril fot calls this the Epizootia, or tjbeßoy al Mange. There is not a word of truth in all these reports, which are made for the Rue Vivienne. We have an account to day that General Luckner has taken pofleflioii of the important pass of Porentrui > but it wants confirmation. The Republic of Berne persists in recalling the regiment of Ernest, but with great expressions of friendfliip coAvards France. M. Polverel, a lawyer, and M. San tonax, one of the Editors of the Re volutions of Paris, and M. Chaliot, are appointed Commilfioners to St. Domingo.

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, April 23 The decree of Sunday, that each member should give up one month's pay for the pubic service, was revo ked, on the ground that all extraor dinary contributions ought to bs vo luntary. It now remains open for the members of the aflemblv, and all their fellow-citizens, to contribute in proportion to their means and their patriotism. A number of voluntary contribu tions were received.

The Aflembly referred his account to the committee of twelve, with an instruc tion to report on the propriety of de priving the priests, who refufed to take the civic oath, of tl:eir pensions, or even banifliing them the kingdom. One of the secretaries announced that a register was open for the vo luntary subscriptions of the members for the expences of the war—all the members present immediately went and subscribed ; and the sum thus raised will greatly exceed that which won Id have been raised by the de cree repealed at the opening of ihe fitting.
