The Archduchess Maria Louisa - appears uncommonly cheerful ; k is, however, certain, that she, under any pretext what-. ever, will not return to France, having given his Ma jeay the Emperor, hcfore he went to join the army, a solemn promise to this effect. It is, however, natural that she, as a mother, and formerly Regent of France, should avish to see her son on the throne of that king.' do m. On signing the Acts of the German Constitu tion. the Hanoverian Embassy gave in a declaration, sutting.,in signing an act which by no means fulfilled, the wales of the Prince Regent, it was judged pro.' per to declare that this imperfect was signed because it was thought at any rate better than none, and be cause there was left an opening for future improve• meet, and declaring his Highness's intention, at a fu-' tare period; to propose in the Diet at Frankfort such Improvements as may conduce to bring the Constitu. non nearer his Highness's wishes and the interett of Germany. HANOVER, JULY 10. We hear that the Prince Regent has given the go verment of Brunswick, during the minority, to his Rt yal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, who will iesi.le at Brunswick. • IRENCIi PAPERS. PARIS, JULY 19. FROM TUB GAZETTE DE FRANCE. In our article of yesterday we announced that' Bonaparte left Rochefort on the Ilth instant to em bark on board the Bellerophon. He did not sail,' however, till the 14th, it having required. two days to embark his suite and baggage. T!.e Minister of Marine received last night the oflicial account of the departure of Bonaparte and of the persons who accompanied him. The following yarticulars are interesting : On the Bth Count de Grogan went on board the Saale, to announce that the Emperor would eenbark on the following day : but his departure was hastened by a courier. At four in the afternotin Bonaparte' kit Rochefort, and yroceeded in a boat to Fouran, w here he embarked. The sea was high, and the fri. gate at anchor. On the approach of the boat, the crew gave three clieers of a Vive l'Empereur !" He commanded si -I:•ace. Ile continued some time on deck, walking to and fro with his hands behind him (wearing a reen coat without any decoration) ; he then went below and visited the:, decks. Oa the following day. the 9th, the Maritime Pre fect came on board, and after having !Alined the. E mperor, he locked himself, in. with -General gum( ;and the Commander 01- the frigate. It was noticed e..it on his departure he. did not take. leave of Bo naparte. • • After the Prefect bad left the frigate, M. M. Ba trandand Rovigo went on board an English shin of war, and remained there for some hours. On Monday morning, the 10th, an English .4,- of-battle ship anchored near the frigates. She was still at anchpr when this account left Rochefort, and the frigates could not make a movement without Ihingperceived. Nothing announces either their de parture en their being disarmed. • Bonaparte was the only one of his family em b aim]. The French troops are setting but this moment, and take the three following directions Monthrison. Roanne, and le Puy. The artillery proceeds to Va lice. Counts Chabrol and de Fargues repair to the It. Ad-quarters cf Marshal Suchet. Pons and Teste have departed. Several young men who had been i.n,-.ti,nned as royalists have been liberated. M. Etienne has announced, that he intends tore. sccute the .111cmittur for calumniously asserting that he was cue of the-conspirators for the restoration of Ilatiaparte. . It is sad that a lady who writes romances full of ir•.rigue, and whose conduct somewhat partakes of the character of her romances, has received orders to Ruh Paris. Count Iteille came to Paris on a mission from the grazy to the Minister at War, with an address of submission to the King. Baron Muffling, the Go. vernor of Paris, after a short detention, authorised him to repair to his• hotel, under the charge of an officer, until the arrival of superior orders. This cir cumstance gave rise to the reportof his having been arrested. • The King has conferred the Order of the St. Esprit on the Grand Dukes Michael and Nicholas, Istothen 'of the Emperor of Russia. Yesterday. at seven o'clock in the evening, parties were formed in the 80u/evard die Temple. Several in . ilieisivals, of it shabby appearance, had in their mouths pr in Nair hutton-holes red pinks. They were all dispersed by eight o'clock. On the 17th great disturbances took place in the :6'nel:ward du Temple between several private persons :ressed in the uniform Of ;merle-du-eolith and othei s vv v 3 carried a loge bunch of red pith in their hand. S:alitious cries were heard. Respectable citizens 1-, , !arifig the white cock ..:e or the lily, were struck and Insulted by these persons. who were in great numbers. ;several National Guards were wounded in this con. filet ; hots ever, redoubling their zeal . and activity, they tt1:1 , 4 restored tranquillity. • In an Order of the Day, dated the 18th, Count I).ssollei informs the National Guard that he has re. ported to the King the prude:lice and firmness which they sIL v. ed in repressing the disturbances of the pre ceding He states. that his Majesty has seen with satistaction that the National Guard equally re• pressed acts of violence committed by imprudent men, who comidered themselves attached to his per son, and the mnii. loos cries cf the faction. The in stigators of both are to be punished without &stifle ' tiun. The General-in-Chief at the same time warns. the Vatic:on:el Guard, that the spirit of faction appears to take stdv.ihtige of the importance attached to a ti:Aeer of the seasln. The chests of postfand pauoles i.re directed to invite the wearers of chat flower to lay • it aside, ;Millis arrest those who persist in wearing it. ' 'The . following Prod:Am:l6w has been addressed by SUchet to his army : ' • , Head-quarters, Calvire, filly 12. 4. Sofikrs—ln pursiance of she orders of the Minister of War, eli.lt;;Avuured, duce the 115t4 of 1.14 month, by every effort . . ". in niy power, to obtain a cessation of hoatilitiss. By too strict an interpretation of my orders, a se tension was agreed upon at Copfianst at the very moment whets the 14th regiment obtained great successes. I have deplored, the event, which malevolence has misrepte tnted, and which was only the result of too much ' seal on the part of an Officer of my Staff. Our moderation not having succeeded in arresting the advance of the Austrians, they ' `have learnt at Tancilles, in the &files of St. Claude and Nantua, and at Motittakl, with what valour the troops of the divisions of Dessais anl Maransin can march to battle. 'I he taking the de files of Roustes from the right wing of the army of the Jura, the retreat of Ectielles, the tall of Fort L'Ecluse, which has surren deriAl alter a most honourable defence, thu capitulation of Gre noble, which occasioned to the enemy a loss of more than one thousand men, and, finally, the fall of Macon, in the battle of yesterday, which conducted the Austrians to the right bank of the Saone, and opened to them the attack of Lyons on three principal points , all these events united have decided me in following the repeated orders I have received to ratify a convention to honour able to the army, which has been concluded In my pame by G neral Put hod, M. Pons, the Prefect of Lyons, Colonel Richi, and Jars, the Mayor of Lyons, on one part, and the Austrian Cent rats on the otter. " By your bravery you have delayed the occupation of Lyons, which has been so long the object of desire to the Allied powers, whilst in yielding to the force of circumstances we obtain the power of retiring from Lyons with all our artillery and military stores. We guarantee to the inhabitants safety of person and property, as well as exemption from quartering of - troops. In consequence of this Convention, the army will retire as the Loire, where it will wait the approaching peace 'or new orders. In every situation, discipline must ha maintained, false reports rel.elled. Evil disposed persons agitate us, they avail themselves of all their means to disturb and afflict the soldier. Confide in a Chief who, for the last seven years, has always led you to vic tory—bear In mind, that is this short campaign, the little army of the Alps has beaten the enemy hi every reucounter. Repulse every foreign insinuation ; and be assured that on every occasion you will find in your General a friend and a father, devoted to your interest. (Signed) "The Marshal Duke D'Ai.aurtaa." PARIS, JULY 20. Receni intelligence has been received from Marti nique and Guadaloupo. In the former of these co• 1 lonics Count Vaugiraud, seeing a part of the garri- ' son shaken by the events which had occurred in Eu rope, and having reason to doubt theiffidelity gene rally, sent to the English cruizers to ask the necessary aid to maintain the colony in the power of the King. The English proved anew, on this occasion, that all their efforts and sacrifices had no other object but that of reestablishing and consolidating legitimate authority in Franco. The Commandant on the Eng lish Leeward Island station shewed himself animated by that spirit of disinterestedness and fidelity which ~;() eminently distinguish, in the heart of France, the Chief of the British forces and the Minister of the English Cabinet. The aid requested was given with zeal, and the faithful inhabitants of Martinique have contir , ued to sinew themselves devoted to the cause of the King, and resolved to preserve for him their in teresting colony. At Ouadaloope nothing extraordinary has occur red ; Rear-Admiral Ltirois did not seem to have any need of assistance. Thu inhabitants share in the same sentiments of fidelity as those of Maiiinique. and the garrison zhc wn no disposition of a contrary nature. Every thing leads to believe that the moment the account.of the King's return to his capital shall reach these colonies, that event will be unanimously hailed by the inhabitants, and that these islands restored to freedom of trade and intercourse, will find in that benefit the first reward of their attachment to the mother-country, and fidelity to the King. The Mat citric de Riviere, appointed by the Duke D'Angouleme, in virtue of powers given by the Kiug, Governor of the Bth Military Division, arrived at Marseilles on the luth inst. General ',overdo, who remained faithful to the King in the late events of the south, is his chief of staff. He has organised the government with which the King has entrusted him. M. Raymond is provisional mayor of the city. M. Albertas has resigned the functions of prefect, and is replaced provisionally by M. de Montgrand. Lord Exmouth, commanding the English naval station, has given the Most consoling assurances for the liberty and security of the trade of Marseilles. Arms and ammunition have been furnished in order to place the faithful subjects of the King, who, in that coun try, compose almost the whole of the population, in a situation to support their cause against all the attempts of disaffection or rebellion. Some troops, ender the orders of General Lowe, are ready to dis embark, should certain parties proceed towards Mar seilles, which there appears no reason to dread. The Marshal Duke of Albufera, Generatin Chief' of the army of the Alps, signed on the 12th instant, with the Austri.in General 'Baron Frimonr, a capitu- lotion far the city or Lyons, which presents the same stipulations as that concluded for Paris. Tile Austrian army was on the 15th to occupy tbe external works, and on the 17th, 411 the barriers were to be given up to it. The French army had retired within the line of demarcation stipulated by the convention. • Some diiorders had been committed in the town at, the moment of the entrance of two Austrian officers ; bin they were _promptly repressed by. the prudence and firmness of the civil and military officers. On the evening of the 17th, therefore, Lyons could give itself up to the expressions too long restrained, of the sentiments which animate the immense majority' of its inhabitants. The white flag and cockade were every where hoisted amidst reiterated shouts of vise k ' ;?oi !—Monihur. In addition to those of Ney and DAVOUSt, the por trait of Marshal Murat has been removed from the Hall of the Marshals. Yesterday morning the Emperor of Austria, the Emperor Aleiander, the King of Prussia, and Mon siear the King's brother, accompanied by Princes tichwartzenherg, Lichtenstein, Blucher, Wrede, the Duke of Wellington, and a numerous Staff, reviewed the Austrian Imperial Guards. These troops, com posed of the grenadiers of the German and Hunga rian Guard, or regiments of Cuirassiers and Hulans, were drawn up in line from the Boulevard la Made lira: to therdoalevard Poistionniere, and afterwards de filed on the Place Louis XV. before the Allied So vereigns and their suite. The submission of Marshal Davoust and the army which lie commands, is not what it was said to be; be his quite recently disowned a courier of the King, and it is uncertain whether he has respected the dis patches :4 which the courier was the bearer. It is certain that his mode of acting is too equivocal to be rnivt.tk::n by the allied troops. The army of the Loire is, however, wasting away by desertion. All the letters state thiit it is almost reduced to officers and subalterns. Should it therefore think oh placing it self in a state of war or rebellion, its conduct w, , tild be the climax of phrenzy and fury. Let us hope that it'will rit last detach its thought!; from the man who has betrayed it and since he hiquelf de- • ;spired of his fate and fortmw, It would be ♦sry el. Assordinary if his partisans 'hewed themselves store obstinate and more likely to succeed than himself.— (J mrisai du &bats) • On th`• lfith inst. the bridge *of Amboise on the Ll:4e was broken down ; that of Tours has been mined. We are assured that the communication be.- tween* the latter town and the right bank of the Loire has entirely ceased. General Vandamme hid ar rived there. The stages which set off from Paris no longer obtain permission to cross the Loire at Or leans. The department of Loiret is so exhausted by the French army, that it will soon be impossible to pro vide there for the subsistence of the allied troops.. There are fears lest the despair of the inhabitants af ford opportunity [or agitators to disseminate discord and disturbance. It would appear that the arrest of Bonaparte was prep.ired with great skill. It would have been alike dangerous to have arrested him too soon, or other wise than he was arrested : it was even necessary that he should think himself free, and that the arr. veillasice of which he was the object, should be per ceived neither by himself nor others. Incapacitated after his abdication, from renewing the contest with any hope of success, he might nevertheless have caused great calamities by following the advice of .some madmen. The interests of humanity, therefore, required that a great deal of address and manage. went should be exer.:ised towards him. It was thus drat he was conducted to Rochefort without noise, He remained several days in the roads, having his spy-glass perpetually fixed on the fatal English squa dron, and unable to find the means of escape. Thrice he put back to Rochefort, but each time he perceived that he was not less rigorously watched on the land side; and as it at last bec.ime necessary to resolve on something, he Preferred surrendering to the English. It is believed that he will be provisionally placed in the Tower of London. _ _ _ On the 11th a party of French soldiers, who said they belonged to the army which was at open war with Louis XVIII. attacked and plundered the cha teau of Niacourt, near Pontoise. Pursuit is made after these brigands. Marshal Brune published at Antibes on the 6th, a very hot-headed proclamation, in which bis cry still is Five Napoleon 11.! The Hanseatic Legion arrived at Brussels, has re ceived orders from the Duke bf Wellington to cen time its march to Paris. Marshal Ney, before setting off for Switzerland. consulted, it is said. the Duke of Tarentum, as to the course he should sake in cutting circumstances. He asked the Duke whether be should go abroad or re main in France. "You did not ask my advice on the 14th of March," replied Marshal Macdonald. Laura and Snissons have hoisted the white flag, but refuse to open their gate to foreign troops. Bourdeaux, Nantes, Angers, and Toulouse. are the principal cities where the white flag is not yet hoisted, notwithstanding the wishes of the inhabitants. COURIER RXTRAORDINARY OF WEDNESDAY stoantrn. By intelligence from London, we learn that Bona-. , pane is in the Tower of London. AU his portfolios and papers have been taken from his. The garrison of Valenciennes surrendered to the King on the 15th instant. We expcct immediately a new declaration from tk.. Allied Sovereigns. The Unman of the Cossacks, Platoff, bad a long -audience of the King yesterday. We are assured that the members of Bonaparte's family will be distributed as follows :—Joseph will be sent to Russia ; Jerome to Prussia ; Lucien to England; Lnuis to Austria; Madame I..etitia to Rome ; and Madame Hortense to Switzerland.' coon= EXTRAORDINARY OF THURSDAY MORNING. It is thOught that Bonaparte will be provisionally confined in the Castle of Edinburgh. Colonel Labedoyere is confined in the prison of La Force. A part of the Russian army is making preparations for marching towards the Loire. The King recently asked the Dukeof Wellington his age ; "Sire, I was born in 1768."—I 4 And Bonaparte also," replied his Majesty ; PROVIDENCE gave us also the antidote."
