Last night the expected Message from the PRINCE Rrorwr was hrought down to both Houses of Par- liament, acci - Inpanied by a copy of the Treaty of the Allies on the 25th of March, the substance of his been already laid before our Readers ; a ropy of the ovegturc received bons 13oNapAurr,, which, as Lord LivEnt..);l. stated some days since, is substantially the same' as that published in the French Papers ; and the Corropoadence on this subject be tween Lord CA.STLEREAGII and Lord CLANCARTY, cur Ambassadcr at Vienna. They will be found in the proceeding• o•f the Ners. It will be seen from the discussion that followed that there is no prospect whatever of avoiding hostilities with France. Lord Livaaroot, in answer to a question from Lord GREY, stated, thst though no act of hostility had yet taken place, the Message was to be regarded as a step to- wards war ; and Lord CLANCARTY'S said that our present situ ►tion constituted a state of war, though hostilities had not actually commenced. On the subject of the BOURBONS, it was mentioned, as stated in Lord CASLLEREAUH'S letter, that " it is not the object of the Allies to dictate any form of Go vernment to France ; but they certainly wished for the restoration of the legitimate Sovereign of that country, as the best means of seeming a solid and permanent peace, and that, for the attainment of that end, the Allies were pledged to co-operate within certain limits: for they did not intend or desire to in. terfere with the exercise of the right of the French nation to choose its own Government; and therefore they were net bound to Louis XVIII. to press his re storation to the throne against the wishes of the French people." In the infliction with which Europe is about to he visited, we have a most striking instance of the effects which ever follow a disregard of political probity. The Allies are in a state of hostility with BONAPARTE and his adherents, " not from choice, but from ne ces,iiy, because past experience has shewn, that no faith has been kept by him, and that no reliance can be placed on the professions of one who has hitherto :in longer regarded the name solemn compacts, rhAn as it may have suited his own convenience to observe th,,r, whose word, the only assurance he can afford f;e- his peeceable disposition, is not less in direct op. lr> Ginn to the terser of his former life, then it is to the military Position id which he is actually placed." lies he ever, in any one instance, kept good faith is 114 s he ever hesitated to violate the peace with neigh. barring Stares ? 0,1 the contrary, has he not, even ; r his late paeific declarations, avowed that his idol -sees Univa - ral t rtisre? However snrich the friends of humanity may lament the miseries with which the world is threatened, we believe there are but feer who would he willing to take upon themselves the responsibility that would attach to such rulers as should give credence to Bs- NAPARTeS professions of conversion, and, in conse quence, expose those whose welfare and safety they are called to watch over, to the danger of being again made the victims of his ambition. This is a proper view to be taken of the question before any person take upon . himself to judge decidedly what line of conduct the Allies ought to pursue in the present conjuncture. On the necessity of being prepared for any exi peecy which the return to power of such a turbu- Lnt and ambitious man as BoNAPARTE may occasion, there can be but one opinion among rational men ; tut on the propriety or prudence of equally attack. ing France by invasion, there may be, and indeed there are, a diversity of ppinions. Some think that the Alliss ought instantly to strike, that the French' by feeling the magnitude of the evil they have pro v ked, by supporting the power of such a miscreant, nary be brought to seek his expulsion ; that the loyal may have an opportunity of jo4iing the standard of their ligititnate Sovereign ; and that - the turbulent and rebellious may be punished :—others think th.st probelily the success of the Allies evenW be rendered more certain by confining their movements merely to the maietainieg a strong armed force on the French fret:tier, arse then w. iting the result of the differences known to exist amneg the French themselves; and they argue that an attack from without may prove the means of uniting'the different parties, who, if left to themselves, would otherwise inevitably cp.sie to blows . That they would, ere long, have a civil war in France if net invaded, we caneot doubt, but how far it might be prudent to w.dt for that result we cannot decide. That the Allies have thought it possible that the French might itiereel Arming themselves seems pro bable Iron. the delay that hes taken place in com mencing hohtilities ; and if so it is passible they may, at least, for a time, follow the same system. —We stated yesterday that in various quarters the people evinced a spirit of resistance to the decrees the Usurper. This spirit has broken on: in actual insurrection in La Vendee. It may be recollected that we announced not tong ago the sailing of a cret expedition from Falmout! . ships pro. eeeded to the toast of La Vendee to supply the Loyalists *ith lams. Givernment have 'received notice of the landing of these ems ; that they had been received with gratitude ; th4t the white cockade had been m, awed ; and that the people Lad risen unanimously in favour of Loma the Eighteenth.— Already their number is stated at 50,000, but tins is probably an exaggeration. It is known. howc•ver, that some men of talent are among thjrn, as the son of the celebrat.',; Cumif:t . tr., General Ofee.ttAN, and the associates of '..iomr.;;Lcit., and Fkort E. We may soon exp..ct to receive in..erlsting• accounts not only from 1.4 Vendee but from other quarters. To-day we r:-..zeived the l'ari;•Papers,of S.turday. The Msniteur contains a pompous account, received by telegraph Goat Lyons, calculated to leave an im pression that Muit.o had been victorious. All that it states, however, is merely that the Austrians, the battles of theist, 20, and 3d instant, lost 1.5,000 men and 40 pieces of cannon. This may have been the amount of t!icit lois it is true, but ,dl accounts from the scene of action agree in stating MURAT'S defeat on the above days to have been complete. But the minor Paris Journals are more ingennifes than the Neniteur, tor they give ample details from Italy, highly ominous of the fate of JOACIIIM. They still keep ty the farce, however, of the arrival of Couriers from Austria. Ore is said to have on Friday : this is the fiftieth ,who teas arrived *lce the return of BONAPARTE, if we can credit his Jour• nalists. COWL LOBAU 9 S Order of the Day will be read with interest : it seems impossible for him to disge;se , the fact, that something like disorganization is silently creeping thrcugh the ranks of the French army.... When the day of trial comes, the desertions he speaks, of will of course become still more numerous. r.tais, MAY 20. COURIER EXTRAORDINARY OP SATURDAY MORNINO.

" Agents of the Count de Lille, emissaries from othe•countries, dare to attempt the disorganisation e.f . the French army, It is by little proclamations printed or in manuscript, thrown into the streets and squares near the barracks, or affixed during the night, so as to elude the vigilance of the police ; it is by specious insinuations and false news that they try to shake the fidelity of the troops. " The army will burn with indignation to learn that those agents, without shame and without a country, call themselves good Frenchmen, and go the length of putting a price on the bonenr of out solders, whose bravery and patriotism have hitherto excited admiration even from the enemy. These tvretelies, in a paper thrown into Cambray, offer $0 francs to a French horseman, and 20 francs to a foot soldier, if they will desert their eagles and pass over to a frontier town. Behold the price which they put upon a c* n of Ulm, - Austerlitz, Jena, Friedland, and Moskwa Have they forgotten then that the French soldiers did not desert in 1792 and 1793 ; or rather do they think that they will be less Frenchmen in' 1815 ? We shall see that the same circumstances will recal the same energy, the same enthusiasm, and that the sacred love of country will produce in the French army prodigies still greater, because they will have at their head aClitef consum mately skilled in the art of conquering. 46 . 1 ' 1) e General in Chief will not do the troops which he comminds the injury to think them acces sible to the propositions of emigrants, or of fokigners, which is the same thing; for he knows well, that since the retutn of the Erriv•ror, those who were so inclined have freely used every mcl:l9d to weaken the lidelit) and hopes of ti e Army; • and yet where are the corpt or the Soldiers that have deserted ? They exist only in the foreign Gazette', and in the calumnies of ome denationalized Frcitchnten. But th e impudence of those wi.o make those propositions becomes so great ; that their outrages must hi nceforth be repressed : w. must seek out and know the agents of our enemies arrest them, and give thee up to the Columns of Wart the honour and magnanimity of the army sally demand a reparation. a The Gmerals and Commanders of Corps will consequently give, particular instructions in their camps or cantonments, in order that every individual who is the bearer . of provocations to desertion and rebellion, or who circulates false news among the troops in order to seduce them and relax in their dis cipline, be instantly arrested, and delivered up to a Council of War. •• Tins Order shall be read to the troops for three successive days. (Signed) 64 COUNT Leann." The Moniieur conta:ns a long Address from the Parisian Confederation to the Parisians, calling upon them to arm: They are informed that the Proscrip tion of Bonaparte by the Allied Sovereigns, is a new title to the love and admiration of the French nation. Count Carnot has received another present of two thousand francs, from an anonymous patriot, to be applied to the expences of the war. TURIN. MAY o—Mee n'Ciocc is rue Eversse. We learn the following intelligence :•••• 4 4 On the 4th instant General Moler vigorously repulsed the Neapolitan army, made a whole brigade prisoners near Ferns°, took several waggons loaded with am -munition and baggage, and among the Carriages were those of Murat. The enemy had covered his retreat ,by gun-boats. General Bianchi has directed his 'army upon Aquila. The enemy left a garrison of 3000 men in Ancona; this garrison offered to capi tulate on being allowed to retreat with arms and bag gage, but this was refused, and the city is closely blockaded."

Thursday evening, a most distressing accident occurred off Sidmouth. A party, consisting of 13 persons, were returning from the former place to (Merton by water : when having sailed but a little distance, the hat of one of the 'ten fell overboard, who, in hastily endeavouring to recover it, upset the boat, and the whole were plunged into the sea.— Three boats immediately went off to their assistance, but they could only succeed in taking up five per sons, who by medical aid were testored to health : the other ten (nine of them females) are totally lost, two ')f whom mere married in the morning, and with their company had spent the day at Sidmouth. ALARMING Fme.—This morning, between four and five o'clock, a most alarming lire broke out at Mr. Duncan's, a tallow-welter, Aldersgate-strect, whose premises were entirely consuoted, with nearly the whole of Mr. Cockerton's, the adjoining house.— So rapid was the progrets of the flames, that a con siderable degree of alarm was excited, as they com municated to the buildings situated in Shaftesbury place, part of which were also damaged.
