The following Statement may be traced in the latest accounts published from British papers.

THE idea of a counter-revolution in France, seems to be abandoned. The patriots are prosecuting their object with the utmost perseverance. There is a perfect confidence between the King and the National Assembly; as far as words can be believed, both the King and Queen are on the best terms with that band of patriots. The example of France has reached even Constantinople, where symptoms of the French fever, in some recent disturbances, have appeared. The Emperor has his hands full of business; having settled in part the troubles in his own dominions, he will find enough to employ his attention, without troubling his neighbors. The higher orders of the clergy having been stripped of their overgrown wealth, and the inferior placed on terms of justice and equality—the majority of the Priesthood is warmly attached to the revolution. The municipalities of the provinces exhibit daily new proofs of their attachment to the decrees of the National Assembly. All fears of a counter-revolution are at an end. The King has wrote to the Count d'Artois and the Prince of Condé, to return to their country, and be at peace. And the King of Sardinia has given the exiles a broad hint to decamp from his territories. So great has been the demand for Mr. Burke's celebrated pamphlet, that an impression of thirteen thousand has been sold since its publication.

THE Marquis de la Fayette has turned Printer; keeps a press in his house, to pull off his own virtues. The Marquis has seceded from the democratical interest, and has run off to Turin, to join the Aristocrats. The revolutionists are renewing the works at Cherbourg:— This is no design of monarchy; but a desperate feint of the democrats. The revolution in Brabant is at an end, the Emperor Leopold being acknowledged in all the cities; and the downfall of the late usurpation, celebrated with every demonstration of joy. The Emperor of Germany is determined to interpose in behalf of his sister, the Queen of France, and has already demanded that she be sent to Vienna. The Bishops have remonstrated against the decrees of the National Assembly, respecting spiritual matters. The cities of Lorraine have recalled their deputies and other cities are resolved to follow their example. A great blow is on the point of being struck against the revolution—The exiles are, or have been in motion—Favette is no longer popular, and has been openly impeached in the National Assembly by one of its members. Burke's pamphlet on the revolution is called the ravings of a mad man, and has tarnished all the former lustre of his political character and literary abilities, and it hardly requires common sense to refute it.
