Oudinot sends from Metz the oath of fidelity of the troops in the 3d and 4th military divisions. JOUrulart does the same from the 15th division. PARIS, MARCH is. Three officers of the Chasseurs called Royals have i t:st arrived at the Duke of Berri's apartments, der ruted by Colonel Lions, and the Officers of the re. giment, to inform his Royal Highness, that it was only at La Fere, that they were made acquainted with the steps in which it was designed to engage them ; that they assembled at Compiegne, and made known their sentiments (kur d . l icon de tower), to Gene. r.tl Lefebvre Desnouettes ; and that General Lions immediately ordered the signal to be sounded, to horse, and took the route of Cambray, the last place %here the regiment had been in garrison. The Of ficers who brought this information are a Major, a Chief of Squadron, and a Captain. PSUVATE LETTERS. " PAan, Mutes 10. The official Journals present enough to alarm any person respecting present prospects, but we do not believe that it gives us a tithe of the truth.— Bonaparte's advance is truly wonderful. The King of Sardinia has, it is said, set a price upon his head of 400,000 francs, about 16.000 guineas of our money —an example which the King of France has, it is reported, declined to follow. An otter to assassinate Napoleon having been formally made to the Due de Berri, was instantaneously rejected with horror ; and you must therefore look upon whatever little intelli gence reaches me through private channels, as sup plementary to the meagre and half-fabricated state ments of the official press. The public anxiety increases with the want of information, and doubts begin to agitate those, who only yesterday were riot. or; in their derision of Bonaparte's projtas Up-' wards of 50 Officers have left Paris since the night before lad, and taken the rood towards ituly I the names of most of them are known to the Police, and at the Waraiffice—but it is too late to stop them, .. a 4 the hazy weather Impedes the narking of the telegraphs. It has been proposed to the King to arm La Vendee and thus secure by one blow 60,000 brave and devoted soldiers. Louis the 18th, who compr:- ile:ds his own situation and that of France differently from any of his advisers, repelled the scheme, as of fc,tbive to the body of the nation.—' This is, in its essence,' slid the King, ' a contest for public liberty —you must not narrow it into the quarrel of the House of Bourbon: The faithful Vendeans might protect my person, but the French people shall de fend their own cause.' Since the loyal demonstra tions of the garrison at yesterday's review, attempts have been made to debauch the troops in their bar racks; a man has been detected in the act of dis persing the proclamations of Bonaparte to the French soldiery, and led away on the instant to be shot. " There are now sioedoubts that this plan of in v'aradloti France was a long time prepared, and cla y combieed with maehinauons in the interior ad with the organisation Of Italy for revolt.

A fatality, or in other words, an inconceivable stupidity—may we not say at once, the basest treachery * bas hung upon the royal cause from the first moment of this invasion. When the neon was made known in the great city of Marseilles, the whole population ran to arms ; in a few hours ten thousand stout men were embodied and amongst them a number of old soldiers, who eagerly cried out for permission to attack Bonaparte, —had they marched, his instantaneous ruin was inevitable; but the accursed Authorities, the hoe, 1 or brutified Authorities interfered ; and the invader has walked through France, as if it were the pani- I I niony of his fathers. • . 1 ANOTIIIIR LETTER, DATED MARCH IL ' 44 Not only the military are loudly for the Usurper§ but the populace, who do not scruple to talk loudly in his favour every where. On the large mirron, in the very apartment of the King, were found written, the mrarning of the 11th. 44. Priv Mork's." Yea: day several-arrested, individuals were having caught placarding the streets with libels against Go vernment. It appears that Monsieur was never re ceived at Lyme as stated by the ifesitter. He was met outside the town by the populace, supported by the military, hooting him, and throwing stones as him, in a way to endanger his lice,- from which he found himself happy enough to be able to escape. 44 Hence the sudden return of the Duke of Or. leans to Paris, not for fresh orders. but to give the dismal information to the King of the bad spirit reigning every where. This news arrived at Paris on the 11th, and were amply confirmed the following day. Tim Peers, in a secret council, have conferred dictatorial powers on the King, and leave to call into France foreign a:alliance. 44 It appears as if no doubt can remain on the events of Italy. The Austrians have been literally massacred every where. At Milan, the two Italia* regiments remaining there. with the . of the Patriots, have slaughtered every foreign and officer iodiscriminately.

The bustle created yesterday in the City by the news from France was never equalled by the effect produced by intelligence on any former occasion. The rumours were, as might be expected, very con tradictory ; but all agreeing that the progreis of the invader was inconceivably rapid. His plans had been so completely arranged with his friends in France, that every thing was ready for his receptiou. Even the magazines, depots of troops, &c. were dis posed in the way best calculated to insure his ultimate success. His adherents and emissaries were with every part of the French face; and the old soldiers were sighing for his return. The opinion which we hasarded, on ibt rut sews of BONAPA WM having landed in Franc., that dm* was an understanding between him and the present King of Naples (Waits.), seems to be confirmed by accounts from Italy. Out of the letters states ea follows : 4 , That on the 28th of February appeared the Pro. clamation of the King of NarLas, and the Emperor of TRAWCZ and King of ITALY (BONAi ASTB). in which they guarantee the independence of Italy. At Peschiera it gave the signal for the massacre of the Austrian troops, afterwards at Verona, and lastly at Milan. It is asserted titat more than 20,000 Austrians were sacrificed. Gene ral BILLBOARDS and his Staff endeavoured to escape through Switzerland, but the Swiss were is arms, and would allow no one to pass. The King of PIRDMONT ran away from Turin, whets many excesses were committed, and the adherents ee the King were much ill-treated." The same fact is stated in one of the private letters received yesterday from Paris, as wiU be seen among our extracts. But if we may credit the statements brought by the Brussels Papers (received last night) it is not true that there has been any massacre in* Italy, nor has Mona? any thing to do with Bona.

He sent a detachment to attack Grenoble, where General MARCHAND was ap pointed to guard an immense depot of arms and mi litary stores. He appears to have been faithful to his trust, and the consequence was, he fell a sacrifice to his own troops. Grenoble opened its gates, and one hundred and fifty pieces of cannon, with four teen thousand men, and from 80,000 to 100,000 stand of arms, fell into BONAPARTE'S power.— There is little doubt but that the great magazine was placed there purposely to assist his inroad, for it now appears that SOULT, the Min . ...ter at War, bad con certed the measure with his partizans, and that every thing was prepared fir his reception. The notice in the Miami- of the 11th, which so much surprized every one, is now intelligible. It was evidently published by the order of SOULT, to announce to the friends of the Invader throughout all France, that the blow was struck, and that success had crowned their operations. Fhe next der• SOULT was removed from his place' and General CLARK, Duke of Feltre, who was for. merly War Minister to 80/WARTS, was nominated in his place. The Proclamations of 0311APARTE are said to be uncommonly moderate, and that he offers a complete amnesty to all except two, who are Manuowr and A ooxitsau. It was. not the Duchess of AscouLrms, but the Duchess of ORLEANS, who arrived yesterday with the Duchess of Wituniotow. The Marquis of &area, Mr. and Mrs. Vitriol= as and Mr. BUTLER, were- among Cie passengers who arrived. A Correspondent at Calais writes as follows : 'The English in France have felt dreadful in. convenience, from the alarm created in Paris. The French Governmeat having issued an ordonnance that no passiats should be yawed to any person, except for Government hiessenpn, the greatest alarm was etperienced by . suck who wished to quit the capital. ' Money was useless to offer by indivi. deals, as the postmassen dare not accept it ; the Marquis of EZETER paid 800 Louis, it is said, to be conveyed to Calais. •4 The English in general meet with much insults, having had their horses and carriages stopped, aad their property seised by iudividnals, and are now suffering every privation.

The Post-Office has stuck op a notice on the Royal Exchange, informing the Public, that should a mail arrive from France in the course of the day, letters will be delivered to as late an hour as eight o'clock at night. • A letter from Rye of yesterday's date, mentions the arrival of a smuggling vessel the preceding night froni BoUlogne, which she had quitted the same fore noon s that Boulogne was full of English people from Paris and other parts, most anxiously waiting for a passage to this country; that the military sta tioned at that place were decidedly in favour of Bo- NAPAATII and that the Merchants were very appro. bensive of an embargo being laid on. It was comedy , reported last night that BONA. mart entered Paris on Tuesday evening ; tad the report is again in circulation this morning, with the additional circumstance, that the intelligence has been received by means of a bye.boat from Amble. tease.

DOVER, MARCH 16. Thirteen vessels arrived last night from Calais and Boulogne, with nearly 400 passengers of all descrip. tions: accommodation could not be found for above half that landed ; many slept on board the vessels. All this day the bustle has been great in getting car riages and baggage landed, and setting the passage vessels off again for Calais. Numbers of passengers were waiting at Calais yesterday for vessels to get over, and a great number of Ladies and Gentlemen have gone into Belgium. fearing they would not be able to reach the coast in time to embark before orders were issued to detain them, so great is the apprehen slap that Boturairrs will succeed ; yet it was reported at Calais, before the vessels sailed, that be eas sue rounded not far from Lyons, and a similar report has boon brought here this day by a vessel which sailed from Ham yesterday afternoon.
