shich have been long since appeased ? Will they refuse to listen to the calm and imposing voice of sisilom, to the experience of past ages, and, to the experience of passing and present misfortunes ? Those ,cldiers, so long glorious by their triumphs, will they tear the bosom of their country and become public enemies ? No, Sire ! No ! the passions are • calmed in ail generous hearts; tang froid assumes the place of the exasperation of private pride and of personal interest ; reason makes herself heard ; all beans are i ! ien to milder sentiments; the love of our country of our Kings will finish the rest. A period of 'JO years, marked by so many vicis. ,etudes, and, like all grandlistorical epochs, by glory rd reverses, cannot efface the recollections of eight centuries passed under the sceptre of our kings, marked by such long intervals of prosperity, and at all times by the moderation and goodness of the so vereigns of your august dynasty. Frenchmen from all parts of the kingdom—if the example of the capital, which was always of such weiAht, can still *guide you, see it on this day, after times so full of storms, calm in the midst of so many e fforts to agitate it, forgetting all di.corda, abjuring the spirit. of party, crowding around the king, who 1 as the fitst pledge. of his return, comes to proclaim g uarantees for your happiness and the establish- 1 met of those institutions which are calculated to ,care a wise lib:rty and the safety of France. Let us protest to him according to the wish of us heart, with an unanimous yoke, that the passions ire that the Children of the Great Family ire united in approaching him, and will have in "inure only one rallying cry—Yive k Rail give 14uis XVIII ! Viverst let Botwboeu !" The most fervent transports of joy greeted the Discourse which was just pronounced. His Majesty tppeared sensible to the sentiments which it conveyed, Ind made the fullowing Answer with the most af .ecting sensibility : I quitted Paris with the most profound regret, Ind I shared your emotions. The testimonies of :i4l:ty of my good city of Paris reached where I was. return with exultation : I had foreseen the evils with 'chick it is menaced : I was desirous of averting :sad epaiting them." 'l'l:e procession then moved forward through the Flubourg St. Denis and the Bonkvarts. The popu ice increased, and the King alighted at the Thuille •ies amidst uninterrupted acclamations. In the evening the city was spontaneously I attd. Groupes of happy people shouted Vibe le D.nces were struck up in the Faubourgs : the ' ,ir of , o Henri IV." was heard on all sides, and these )yous scenes were prolonvel beyond midnight. ?he foreigners who,- wete Witnesses of this fine •?ectacle, were deeply affected by it. They tecog. the French character in its true light. They sw an immense population ll:aping with benedic !ions a Monarch who has twice reconciled France with Europe, by the sole inlittencesof his name and virtues, and who his twice appeared between two -.4ntending patties to separate them, and in the midst cf foreign soldiers, masters of our territory, to gua„ :antee and preserve k. A perfect tranquillity reigned—unanimity was every where visible. Nothing had the appearance of the niumph of a party ; every thing, on the contrary , nnounced the union of all parties in an unalterable sentiment ; loyalty to the King, the wishes of all to ee France"enjoy liberty under a protecting Govern nent, and to join in restoring universal tr.mquillity. PARIS, JULY 9. Intelligente has been received that Bonaparte has arrived at Rochefort. The two frigates which waited ''or him in the Roads were strictly blockaded two lays before his arrival, and it was thought mast t•tident to bring them again into port. But, in order .) elide the English cruiser, a corvette, and a packet .4"1141) were hastily armed, and it is on board one of ;.ese vessels that Banaparte will try to escape.

Prussian troops occupy thi n place des luvalids, The English troops occupy in general the right bank and the Prussians the left bank of the Seine. Lodgings have of course been assigned by the Mayor for the principal Officers of each army. The Staff of the G .vernor of Paria h the Prussian General Muf fling, is in the place Vendome. The Duke of Wellington occupies his old hotel in the Faubourg 3t. Honore. The advanced guard of the Russian Mtn!, com manded by Grimm) 'Barclay de Tully, strayed to•day in the environs of Paris. This army is 90,000 strong. General Thielman entered P-ris t. 'ay, with Lis ca, ps d'armee, consisting of 16,000 Prussians and Saxons. The King was proclaiMA do the 29th of June at Marstill s. The revolutionary Autlwrities have fled tit disappeared. The Lama Mayor of Manilla has resumed his functions, and General Erneuf was ex, 'acted to take the command of the troops. Felix Lepelleder . was seen this evening in the Gar den of the Thuilleries, wearing the decoration of the Lily. An individual who met him advised him to retire, *hick he did hastily, without saying a word. This wretch proposed in the Chainber of Represen- Lives, a few days since, that Bonaparte should be denominated " the Saviour of France." About 150 Prussians are encamped in the Place Dauphine. this measure is occasioned by the provo cations of M. Carnot'sfideres of that neighbourhood. The pupils of the School of Law, actually forced their way through the Barriers of Paris, although gu.►rded by the satellites of M. Carnot and his soi-di- J.llli Ite i sti.smtatives, and succeeded in making their way to St. Dents, to present an Address to the King. A person present exclaimed that a small number of these young men had been Bonapartist:: 44 I don't wish to know it," said his Majesty. "Yes, Sire! we have been calumniated !" observed one of the youths. His Majesty replied, with great goodness Stop stop Be assured, my good young me)), that it is not in my nature to listen to calumny." Here the affec- ting scene ended. PARIS, JULY 9. Yesterday, as early as eight o'clock in the morn• ing, many of the Deputies of Bonaparte's Electoral Colleges presented themselves at the doors of the Legislative Chamber. Their astonishment as well as consternation may easdy be imagined, %hes they discovered that the doors were all shut. They were occupied by the National Guards, whom they in vain attempted to seduce, and who were inflexibly deter- mined not to admit a soul into the Palace of the Prince of Conde. From'tbe best account we have been able to col- lect, it appears that at five •i'clock in the morning a superior Officer went to the Palace in the name of the King, and demanded the keys of the doors. This wise act has deprived the nation of the last act of fully of our modern Brutthes- Nuthing could be more entertaining than to exa• mine the groupes which were formed by these Dc. puties of a proscribed Letitia. Some bore the air 01 resignation, though not with the best grace ; others cried out that it was a disgrace, an iniamy, an insult to the Majesty of the Nation ; milers again only langhed. We saw an old imperi.d phr.uror who, to assure himself of the fact, had presented 111:nselt at the door to have it shut in his face, not withUu: much confusint► ; and, having thus satisfactorily ascert lined that the order was positive, required his colleagues to retire, because they hid the power of protrstirig against the measure. Another, of the same rank mtio . tained that the door-keeper had lost the coati dence of the nation; that he should not have been frightened ; and that he should have known that the Deputies had resolvei ttirenutin at their posts till driven from them at the point of the bayonet.- During all this time, the dior-keeper smoked his pipe, protected by the National Guard. At length arrived M. Dumolard, who, finding his career of eloquence finished, cried out, that France was lost.—No, no! was the reply: she has been found at tke gates of St. D nis. The orator stretched out his arms, and had commenced cal of his long speeches, but some epithets, which, out of ref and to ourselves, we forbear to repeat, obliged him to make a theatrical exit by the Champs-Elys&. After the recital of these burlesque scenes, which, as historians a the day, we are obliged to detail, we may be permitted sent: remarks on the conduct of these pretended Representatives of the People. To speak only on the principles they themselves prof:sq, and which have served every revolutionary patty for the last twmuy-siz years—what right had they to no et ? Their assemblage was invalid; be cau.e die banished person who called them.together had oat a shadow of right to govern the country which he had so long oppressed, until after the meet ing oft h Ow Champ de Mai. It was invalid, because in any of the Electoral. Meetiegs there were not the eurnber of Electors re. quired by these pretended constitutions of Ole em. fire, in virtue of which they were convoked, in spite !even' of the admission of the legionaries in rank of El vcgors . cite object of their mission, even supposing it to he legitimate, was to concur in the 'formation of laws with Bonaparte. This mission was annulled from the moment of his abdication, for which they themselves have called. The fakirs quit the temple when they have destroyed their idol. Supposing that by views truly national they had been desirous of pr.:tinting a provisionary power for the safety of the nation, what right had they to for m a new C..tlstitution for us ? They were violating the most sacred rights of the people, and they pretended to speak in its name. •• Our ohject is not to breed ill blood we are, on the contrary, sensible that it is the duty of every good citizen to endeavour to smother the ill-will which re. cent events have renewed. We will not speak of the truly culpable attempts which have been made by them to st duce the army, and to support themselVes against the legitimate authority. One step more, and in spite of the vain declamations of the tribune, they wt.uld have hunted an Administrative Council from an army of rebels. Let us forget these errors; but also let the forget. fulness be merited, if 'tot by repentance, at least by submission to the laws, and to a Monarch called f,r by an immense majority of Kance. We have defended libtral ideas, so far as our voices have not been repressed : we are not disposed to change. We believe, howevur, that a TCVOllltiowir) . ' despcsism is the worst of all, and that k is Possibk to enjoy as much liberty under the charts entanAtin i : titian Louis XVIII. as under the additional article to the Constitutions of the Empire dictated by NA p*on. _ We learn from Nantes that three Deputies have arrived there from St. Domingo, offering the sur. render of Petion's part of that Island to Louis XVIII. Marshal Ney's friends have contradicted the report of his going to America. MILITARY GOVERNMENT OF PARIS.

Aliuding to the pertinacious and impudent con duct of the Yahoo Parliament hit by BoNAPARTZ, as his last legacy, to the French people, this spi. riled and elegant writer observes : " BONAPARTE had beseeched his Peers and Re prebentatives to die tor their country's good on their corule chairs. These Gentlemen do not seem to like the idea of dying in this way, but they sit on them as long as they can. They now sit tinder the eyes of a King whom they have despised and to whom they set up in opposition an absent infant, the son of an execrable monster : they have the effrontery to debate in the midst of a capital which they wished to expose to the horrors of devastation, pillage, and plunder—they think, per haps, that this Will be considered as courage—they deceive themselves; it is the most puerile affection— they know well the patern3l goodo,:ss of the King, and they confide in it.

It is very currently reported in e e City, and at the West End of the To n also, that great part of Pais was burnt on Sunday night by the Prussian moors', in consequence of the maltreatment of some of their brave comrades. We know not the precise foundation of this rumour, and of course do not vouch for its accuracy. The report is prevalent, however, among the Members of the Russian and Prussian Legations now in London, as well as in other parts of London. A Flanders Mail arrived this morning ; the occu pation cf Paris by the Allies, renders its conten , s un interesting. Valenciennes held out on the 6 , 11, and the inhabitants were experiencing much misery fr.►m the obstinacy of the Bonapartist:. The Packet list made up daily at the Post:o%ce, London, has this morning (July 12) the iollowing mph : " The M4lll for France will in future be male up and d*- patched .14 beretotore." _ _ _ Accounts have been received from Carthagena of the defeat of the Algerine fleet by the American squa dron under Commotbre DICCATUK. The action, which took place on the 20th of June, lasted two hours. The Algerine frigate Mezoura, of 40 guns, is taken and carried into Carthagena. She was comman. ded by the Admiral of Algiers, who was killed. Next morning, between one and two o'clock, another Alge rine frigate was driven on shore by the Americans, near St. Xavier, three leagues to the east of Cartha gena. The crew escaped on shore, and were pursued by the Sparish peasants, who had taken some of them when the accounts came away. A corvette was chased, and would probably be taken.
