' ta m s meteor iry a grad *pigsties hdided by the Chidieliof.bl Fran& : Sing— . Tine Peers of France bring to the foot of your Throne a new testimony of their respect and t ‘c ,,v. The desperate enterprise, jest undertaken, by man who was long the terror of Europe, cannot , nre iy disturb the great mind of your Majesty. But, lire, Ton will necessarily tak e pr o mpt a nd wise mea sures for the public tranquillity. We admire at Ace your courage and your foresight. You call iround you your faithful Chambers. The nation has , ot 6,lgotten that before your happy return, pride, in t; delirium, had dated to dissolve them and to force , :.cut to silence, as soon as it trembled at their since .i:. Such is the difference between legitimate and %Liattical power ! sire, y. ow enlightened mind must have informed ,za titer. the Constitutional Charter, that monument your wisdom, secured at once the strength of your .hrone, and the welfare of your subjects. The grate *el nation presses around you. Our brave armies, lad the illustrious chiefs who command them, answer sou upon the credit of their glory, that an attempt mail and criminal will .be without danger. The Nat:onal Guards, who maintain order with so much I ,rgy in our towns and cities, will not permit it to De disturbed on this occasion. 4 , He who leas made any shameful calculations u p ou perfidy in coder to kindle a civil war among us, wll every where find union and fidelity, and endless ; I:rotion to your sacred person. ‘• Hitherto a ',atonal goodness has marked all the acts of your government. If it was necessary that the laws should become more severe, we would doubt it, regret it ; but the two Chambeis, animated with 11 - . e same spirit, will make it their study to concur in :very measure which may be required by the serious rature of circumstances, and for the security of the State." Ills MAJESTY'S ANSIVI.R. " I am very ssnsible of the sentiments expressed by the Chamber of Peers. 4 , The calmness which you have been pleased to remark in me, I owe to the certainty which I feel in ibe love of my people, in the Welty of mY armies, _ _ Ind in the concurrence of the two Chambers. As to my own firmness, I shall always find it in the melee :ion that I am doing my duty." CHiaIBER OF PEERS. u • MILIII• .ARCS 9. Today at two o'clock, the Chamber of Peers hay :fig met, the Chancellor pronounced the following !bourse : Gram.r.matt—The best of Kings, after bating f ended upon the firmest bases the happiness of his i.bjects, and given conjointly with you the first 14ws u.lieh were to renovate the existence and secure the prosperity of this fine kingdom, thought be might, viihout inconvenience, restore you for some months 13 Viat repose which your own affairs, so long s:tcri f:ed to those of the state, might be supposed to " The two Chambers, during their long Session, .1 presented to all Europe the imposing example of indrnate union and of the perfect concert which night constantly to rally around their father the t:i.ldrcn of the same family. pestered for a few ::Innutts to private life, you did not cease, and that :ry folly, to serve your country, by becoming in the ,yes of all Frenchmen more perfect models of tide ity to the King, and to the wise Constitution which to has given us. " While the Peers of Trance and the Deputes of the Departments, scattered through our Provinces, weld necessarily propagate that excellent spirit *Nell has guided all their deliberations, and had oil to speak of the King to make him be blessed r.,1 beloved : had only to tell their fellow citizens Lit they had seen, to repeat what they had heard, 11 announce all the ameliorations which were pre.

" Five months remained to tat for the execution of important work, but 'it has been unexpectedly Literrupted: the public tranquillity is suddenly me- Daood by the appearance of the eternal enemy of Face and of the repose of Europe. lie who in order to ()venom it, lavished so much blood and treasure, *hose insatiable thirst of power sacrificed so many millions of men to the monstrous edifice of his Onneral power—Bonaparte has quitted the island ‘ . 4ich Earopean indulgence had conceded to him as asylum : landed On our shores, he dares, with hundieds of deluded men, to attempt once more subjugate this fine kingdom. " Let him not hope to seduce from the path of ha tour and duty those brave phalanxes which have Liven so many proofs of fidelity and attachment. " Has he not failed in his very outset in the career or seduction ? The brave officer who commas the f.it of Antibes answered his summons by arresting Li& etr.issaties, while be continues his route or, r the tiuunuins avoiding the large cities and communes, ktling for traitors every where, and meeting no Caste but with faithful Frenchmen ; our Governors tad out Gcnerss MOM alt hie perfidious insinus- !L tines toy preparing t disc* bim The wholiPopi. Cation is ready to rise against the odious oppressor of their liberties:, they have made the comparison betwren the paternal government which is, restored to than, and the iron yoke under which they.groaned too long. " The French Nation have been witnesses of the tender solicitude of the King for their welfare t and they have rtceived with gratitude the Constitutional Charter which the wisdom of the Prince has given them : they have seen with what fidelity the Go vernment adheres to its principles, by causing its maxims to be respected—they have learnt that per sonal liberty, respect for private property, and inde pendence of opinion, are not empty names ; that our good King lovcs to recompense merit of all kinds, and services of every description rendered to the country ; that he loves to be surrounded by all the brave men who have served the state ; and that it was to her first Captain that he preferred commit- ting the care even of his sacred person. 44 Is it at the moment when France, so long op pressed by terror, so long distracted by hatred and passion, begins at lt:ngth to see her welfare revive; is it at the moment when the most cordial co-opera- tion between the King and the National Representa tives promises new means of glory and prosperity, that a foreigner, whom she has expelled, dares to present himself with new fetters, and prepares punish- meats and proscriptions for all the deserters of his infamous cause ? u This people, which has received the legitimate Sovereign with so much transport, who has fur. nished him with so many causes of delight in their testimonies of joy, Mill not hcsit4te a moment between the descendant of silty Kings and the audacious Cor. sicAn whose odious usurpation has cost them so much blood and so many tears. al The King, Gentlemen, the supreme head of the State, invested by the Constitution with the right and the duty to repel by force all attacks directed against his authority—to provide, in case of need, solely and by himself, for every thing which the security of the Kingdom may require, ought to take, and has already taken all the precautionary measures which may be proper for defeating the machinations of the enemy of France. The Princes of the Blood immediately set out to do justice upon him. It is in the Chamber of Peers, it is in the midst of the most illustrious Marshals of which it is composed, that they have chosen Generals gloriously habituated to conduct our troops to victory. Their vigilant cares will soon avert the scourge of civil war, with which the audacity of a single man in vain threatens the kingdom. The personal safety of the King is inviolable amidst his good• Parisians so devotectto his service s—he has no need of any other guard than their love and fidelity. •• But on an occasion which may require extraordi nary means, always legitimate when it is the safety of the State which demands them, his Majesty has been pleased to call around him the faithful Peers and Deputies, oho have already concurred's% ith so much zeal in the great work of the restoration. It is to their fidelity that he wishes to trust ; it is to their wisdom that he wishes to submit all the mea. cures prescribed by the interest of the State. He has directed me to communicate to you the Ordonnance Nhich he has issued, and those which he id about to issue : to place daily under your inspection, all .the information which he receives; and he requests you to transmit to him all the views which an enlightened patriotism can suggest to you for the maintenance or restoration of public order and tranquillity. 46 You will thereby fulfill your high destinies, the first pillars of this moderate Monarchy which was so many ages the glory of our fathers and the first guar. dian of that wise Constitution which secures it, you would defend with all your might that beloved King, whom you would have chosen it GOD had not given him to you. He is the foundation atone of that mag nificent edifice which PROVIDSNCZ has provided, and you are its chief columns. •• The throne of St. Louis and of the good Henry is unshakeable, since it is always justice and virtue which fill it. • Can we conceive any doubts as to its permanent solidity, when it is guaranteed by the love of all Fseuchmen—by that affecting union which forms their strength—by that firm anxiety for good ness which inspires all the thoughts of the Prince, and by that profound attachment and respect which characterise the first bodies of the State ? 6. I now declare, that the Session of the Chamber of Peers, interrupted by the Proclamation of his Ma jesty of the 31st December list, is re-opened." [After rending the several Proclamations, Ice. of the dth of March, the Address was voted to his Ma jesty, which is given in a preceding column.] VIENNA, FEBRUARY 80. The definitive decision of the fate of Italy appears at hand. The Emperor of Austria has appointed the Prince of litsse•Homburgh General Commun.' dant of his hingdon of Italy, (such are the words of the patent.) It is added, that the Emperor will place the iron crown on his head, lout will send one of the Archdukes to Milan as Viceroy.

Besides the packet with the mail, and a vessel with Mr. SILVESTER the Mes senger, about half a dozen other vessels, with passen gers, reached Dover on Saturday night and yester day morning. These arrivals have very much quieted the public mind, which, to say the truth, was in a state of great apprehension, from the uncertainty of the progress which the Corsican invader might be making in France. It was conjectured that he cer tainly counted upon being joined by a great force soon after he should effect a landing on the French coast; because, upon any other supposition, to dis embark with only ten or twelve hundred men, could only' be viewed as the act of a desperate madman. It is gratifying to find that this really appears to have been the case. To the latest date that any thing was known at Paris respecting his movements, be bad not been joined by a single individual : on the contrary the public authorities were acting with vigour against bins sending troops to intercept his retreat ; and even the small force that he had appears to be deserting him. On the night of the sth BONAPARTE was quer tered with his troops in the small village of Poet, two leagues from the market town of Sisteron.— In the mean time the most active preparations are making at Paris and throughout France to frustrate his designs. The KING's brother has arrived at Lyons where he has been received with enthusiasm. The Chamber of Peers have commenced their sittings with a most animated Address to the. KING and an ener getic appeal to the people, in the form of a speech from the CHANCELLOR. The Duc de BERRI has not left Paris as at first re ported. The KING appeared in Public, as well as his ROYAL HIGHNESS, on the 9th. They were re ceived with the strongest marks of loyalty and affection. Besides the public documents above alluded to, the Moniteur of the 10th contains short Addresses on the present emergency, from the Council of Public Instruction, from the Military School of Paris, and from the Department of the Seine and Oise, led with expressions of loyalty and attachment. The French funds are quoted in the Monitevr of the 10th as follows :—Three per Cents. (with dividend of 22d Sept. 1814) shut on the 4th of March at 81 francs 40 centimes. /dm, with dividend of 22d March, 1815,. 75 francs to 74 francs 50 centimes. Bank of France from 1130 to 1145 francs. Out private letters from Paris inform us that in that capital every thing remained perfectly tranquil, and that the people manifest universally the strongest attachment to the Bouftsons. The attempt of Bo il AMEITI they generally consider as a last and a hope. less effort, and were anxiously expecting to hear that he had paid the forfeit of his crimes by so ignomi nious death. The dispatches received yesterday by Government from Lord Somalian, at Paris, are, we understand, highly satisfactory. The four pieces of cannon which BONAPARTZ brOught with him from Elba were taken soon after they were landed, and the greater part of the small force which acccmpanied him, glad of an opportunity to get home again, had deserted him. The next arrival may be expected to bring intelligence that this wretch has at last met with his reward. We ought to mention, however, that the Funds have this day suffered a depression. The Consols which opened at 63 for the Account, fell to 62 , 1, in consequence of large sales by the same patties, who had the Express last Friday morning. The ru mour in the City is, that Mossmo was proceeding by forced marches with an army to join BONAPARTE. Perhaps only a Stock jobbing rumour, but it is our duty to state it. At two o'clock the bustle at the Stock Exchange had much increased ; and it Ida' rumoured that let ters of the 11th are in town, stating that Marshal Sow.? has joined Bow APART& ; and that much ctn fusion prevailed in Paris, where there have been se veral assassinations. We hope the whole will prove 'only stock jobbing rumours, but it is our duty to state them. We have this day received Brussels and Frankfort Papers to a late date. The rumours hi these Papers respecting the fate of particular districts sink into in significance when compared with the general con vulsion with which Europe was again•threatened by the turbulence of the Corsican; and therefore we have suppressed 001111 of the French news to wake room for the German. It is affirmed that his Majesty the Emperor FRAN CIS will assume the Iron Crown; ind that Italy, ac cording to the wishes if its inhabitants, will form a kingdom, of which one of the Archdukes will pro , baby be Viceroy. Policies were done in the sity on Sainrday to a great amount, respecting the chance of BostArmiller re ascending the throne of France. The rate was to receive 20 guineas to pay alOO in ease that err; took place by the sad of the year. SECOND EIYR'PreM STAR-MICR, THREE O'CLOCK. After this Paper had been at Press, Mositairs of die 11th were received, from which we make the following extract : a The Telegraph of this day announces that Box A_ te.nrx was at Bourgoigne, four posts south of Lyons —and that it was supposed he might be able to enter Lyons this day (the 11th.) a No intelligence had reached Paris of Grenoble being in his possession." _ _ _ There is a Proclamation of the Pre►Pct of the De partment of the Maritime Alps, stating tat t!ie ex. ertions of the people had nor been so great as w is to have been expected, from their patriutism mod I()) Airy, on account of having been uken so much by surprise. THIRD EDITION. STAR-OFFICE, FIVE O'CLOCK. Since writing the above we hive hf•cn intormed that our Government have received p' s:!;ve infoTrna tion of BONAPARTE'S entrance into Lyons on Satur day evening. NAVAL INTELLIGENCIP.
