General Tauenziert, consisting of 40,000 men, is rapi.ily advancing to Occupy thr wbnle Northern frontier of France, from Montmedy to LAn drecies, and •to subdue the fortresses which still refuse to yield. Among these is Mejeres, the Gov nor of which; General Dinnonceau, will listen to none of the proposals made him by the Allies. Very considerable batteries are raisin round this town s in order to born bird. it. Letters from Paris, coming from very respectable quarters; continue to assert positively that .thfee most important Friffich fortresses, Lille, Mets, and 3tras burp, Are, upon the demand of the Ajlin i , to rcce;ve garli,ons cat the troops of the Allied Monarchs : Lille is . to. be occupied in this case by the English, tletz by the Russians, and Strasburg by the .Au stt The garrison c.l each of these fortresses is [4 Consis.: of not less than 14,000 melt. Beside s thi s , the aiiied troops are to form a chain from the (ramjets of . Soo ft4vrland to the North Sea, powerfully sill**. ted by th three above named fortresses. It is added,.bm this seems mc.rc doubtful, that Dun kW.: will also be garrisoned by English troops ; meantime, the reinforcements continually landed for the English army, proceed, as fast as they arrive, to Fiance, to confirm in some rt,:inner the above ac counts. The reserve of.tbe Nc:hrland troops assem- bling cn rile Scheldt will have its head•quarters at Ght - 41t. They talk of a considerable increase of the troops of Delgium, e,peciAly of t!.: artillery.

We have remarked in different parts of the garden. of the nuilleries French military officers of different ranks, some with hats witipot any cockade, others with schakos covered with a kind of glazed taffety, through wilier might be visibly perceived the eagk of the Usurper. Many persons, who are not aware how far the anxiety of the Prefecture of the Police habitually ea ' tends to every thing which belongs to the provision ing of the Capital, appear uneasy at the actual coo. sumption of Pins, and dread a want of subsistent* These fears have no foundation ; every want is for* seen, measured, and calculated, in a manner not to I* surprised by any kind of scarcity. For several days yin: a very thick smoke has been' observed in the vicinity of &Assorts ; and it has been aszcrtained to be occasioned by the bombardment of the small village of St. Julian. The Journal des behatt has the following articles 14, A faction, %%li:se audacity, perFeverance, and .ibstinacy are without bounds t marches, items tor rents of blood, an abyss of crimes,' without having one moment abandoned its objrict, the mind thrones and the subiersion of the principle of the legitimacy of..

And this at the very moment when (one knows not by what fatality) it still exercises, and with impunity, the whole fore. of its action. ." What ! for a whole week criminal clamours against the Chief of the State Have been heard within the very precincts of the Louvre! These clamours attack the rights of the King—they run counter to the wishes, they shock the affections, .the passions of a whole people—they insult the Monarchs of Europe assembled for the destruction of the Usurper, and of the principle of usurpation; and these Sovereigns, whose majesty and power are thus braved, this people m:)ved with a noble indignation, this King, strong in I the affection of his people, have the wisdom to wait, in expzetation of seeing officers commissioned for the malnteriance of public order execute justice cn the guilty ; yet this justice is not dune, and they are the promoters of crime with their eternal accomplices, who have the effrontery to cry out, Oppression! , 44 Tie crime of rebellion is ti +grant ; the experieoci of all ages, the wisdom of all codes, prove how iat portant it is that its punishment should be prompt ' land exemplary, if we wish to avoid the greatest cals.; mities, even in ordinary times, and with much mom reason in the circumstances in which France at pre. sent is; and ytt no example has been hitherto made! We know not even whether the criminals arrested have tot beer mostly again thrown back among us : yet the instigators of crime cry out'oppressiosa .re-action ! Certainly patience on the one hand, ass impudence on the other, cannot be carried farther... HEAVES grant that this double excels be not UM 111. Elul to us as it his alreiy been !" The same Pape: has another article on tine antis : 44 I was leaving the Thuilleries, where I had just heard repeated that slavish cry, which was for so many years the opprobrium of the nation, and which Wouldstill disgrice it in the eye of Europe, if Europe. joiged of the nation from sows mercenary instru ments of faction. I asked myself, was it true there could be a Ft euchman, a man, however degraded by slaves y or depravation of morals, who could utter an. exclamation so odious, without shuddering in his heart at the infamy of his mouth ? I enquired with alarni, what recollection of esteem, of admiration, or attachment the oppressor of Paris could have left be hind him in Paris ?—the disturber of the world, the. deserter of Egypt and of Moscow, the assassin of ge nerations, and, in fine, the executioner of Waterloo! What voice, great Coo! is raised in favour of Dona. parte ? It is not that of a citizen, he oppressed them for fifteen years—not that of a soldier, he slaughtered I therm uhenever their Hood could cement his horrible ! glory—u:,questionably it is not that of a mother. ,4 I. know not what secret inspiration told me that I had found the class in which must be ranged that ,handful of seditious who nightly renew with preci sion 'and audacity tho.macceuvre of which I had just been a witness. Js it net probable, in truth, that these affected regrets lavished on an abominable man,: who can no longer have a party, are the result of cal - Ciliation, and not of feeling ? This evening conspi.' racy, which some will neither punish nor counteract, is it nova scene designedly arranged in those tweet). ticks which escape the eurveillacce of the police, and so often repeated with eclat to give. the Allied POWCCF reason to . suspect the harmony of our opinions? May, it not hence be endeavoured to be deduced at some future day, that the indepenclence of the oat*, va t , ranteed by the Ling, has not been rispectelis Usk the gerutrid wish, of which slwomaaifestatiun could not be repressed, even during their resideace io France s has been counted as nothing, and that the government under which it will be so sweet for us le live, was imposed by the momentary force of armies? This, perfidy shocked me; but k would proceed from a set of men who are united about an end, and not very fastidious about the means. I still doubted; however, when 1 accidentally cast my eyes coo an at- tick in a Journal, impudently headeti, Of ihs Cenral Wish, and in which the consequences. I foresaw are' deduced with the most astonishing iSaiviti of audaekty and falsehood. It is too easy to conclude from hence, that there is an intimate connection of hopes sad. sie. tions between the men of lettere who shed ink at the la boratories of some Journals, and 14 twangs who throw vitriol about at the Thuilleriea. ds What, however, will be the result of these odicitu, attempts to chew that the general wish recall; from the isle of St. Helena a cannibal punned by the curses of the world • 'lt would be too absurd to suppose that the magnanimity of the Allied Sovereigns would ever subscribe to this. The general which , some would wish to recognise an the ahamelass cla mours of Uwe or •fliiir wretches, 'towered Mitb thi Fonternp . t and'execration e ?f aU ?Ai* iksit,iiikat is would appear Tit's general o.Bga:from being general, that it totioas.au envoi to tiro must , - •• 4 devotodteonSclints. the most Wipes agents of the tietl4n. It is purely and siniplya secret agen t seditious men who are not yet &awned with our gold and our blood. • For the rest, there are two sorts of geared wish in every country of the world t the :extra/ wish of honest people, and the general wish of the flagitious. At the close of a revolution, where things cannot be undone as they are done; where all authorities can not be renewed, nor all factions energetically sup pressed, it may happen that the general wish of the flagitious may carry the day, and this is a catastrophe against which Frenchmen are not yet completely re assured; bat an event so horrible would not prove that the 'majority of the nation were ccrrupted—a thitg that, for the honour of the human race and of the social state, ought never to be supposed. It would prove, that that majority, subjugated by the wicked, and unhappily abandoned by power,. was obliged to yield to force; that it became the prey of a band of spies, robbers, murderers, and incendiaries, the moMent it had no vigorous legislation, and that PIIOVIDENCE itself ends by abandoning nations who .have no longer sufficient moral courage to deliver tbemselves from their oppressor."

DIJON. AUGUST 4. The approaching arrival is announced of tl.,;e An:L ake Ferdinand, who commands the reserve of the Austrian army. It is said he will he accompanied bythe Hereditary Prince of Austi ia, thu Archduke Louis, and the Princes of Saxony. It would appear that the Archduke Maximilian will occupy one of the cities of this department. . The corps of Count Colloredo is advancing to Autun. • Count Bubna occupies Lyons, and is form ing his junction with Count Colloredo. The corps of the Prince ft•Syal of Wurtemiterg cupies the department of the Nievre. There is no kind of rumour too absurd which - the incorrigibles of 1793 do not circulate, in order, if pos. sible, to. give the public mead a false direction. Yes terday a report was set afloat only a few leagues from hence, that Bonaparte, at the head of a French army, occupied Anton, and was marching towards us; and there were found people simple enongli to believe it. The Baron de Baden, Governor-Gen:ral, has pub lished a Proclamation, in which we remark the fol lowing passage :••••41 An exact repartition of the hur thens to be imposed on the departments comprehend ed in my government ; security of .persons and pro perty, and the maintenance of your internal organisa. lion. Sach are the principal objects of my attention and of my efforts. Banish every alarm, inhabitants of departments ; return to your homes; the high al. lied Powers wish for nothing but peace; and a gua rantee of its security. 1 will pursue with the greatest vigour the individuals forming part of the corps called free corps or partisans, who shall not hasten to quit these bands A i r their ota!fable disobedience they will bring down srcsi oalamuirs on their families." VORIENT, AUGUST I. M. de Cr;sone* has recently entered Vannes, at the head of a corps of troops of the royal army, consisting of from 12 to 14,000 men. Among the superior offi- Cers of these troops are M. Cadouddl (brother of the celebrated Georges) and M. Laboisstere. • Generals Rousseau and liigarre are in the same city at the head of the old garrison. The royal army is preparing to march to L'Orient, to join the troops already there. . • The fort_of Loc was summoned by a small corps of the ruyal,army, and the Commandant gave op the ammunition and arms which were in his possession. —After this expedition, the same corpi carried off about 40 young men and SO horses from the coin. mune of Pigment. It next proceeded to Guidel, and summoned Fort Penthievse to surrender ; but the Commandant did not listen to their threats, It is said he is preparing to hold out to the last extremity. PRIVATE LETTERS. • " PARIS, AUGUST 7, 1815. el I have to repeat the great uncertainty in which every thing continues involved here. The expected order for the movement of the troops for this day has not been issued, nor is it expected for eight days, within which time a review 1 , 144000 mm will take place, which I suppose is inteeded as another hint to the rebellious and undecided Parisians. 66 The Bourbons h.tve many, many enemies, and although these would not probably be for NApoleon, yet brtween the two they would choose the latter ;—! but if a stranger appeared, they seem as it they would prefer him to boiff. “ On various eeeniags, some people in the gardens of the Thui&rim just. under the Royal apasateats, have, amidst the crowds . calling 6 Vire le Roi 'sprouted V iiie Napoleon / "Vive r.Emperenr .which has kept the gardens in a constant ferment. On Friday evening, however, a battle took place, and one of these nsia s reants. was killed by the Royalist populace. Last' night I was witness to another squabble; but i body of National Guards, who seem now more alert and numerous in the gardens than usual, put an end to it. I got out of the way, aid cannot give you particulari. The trial of General Labedotere, I hear, comes pa to-morrow, which will be followed by those of [bet rothers in custody, on whom it is said the sentence of the law will be executed. Prince Blather returned to Paris on Friday. He beA usually resided at St. Cloud. Lord Combermere poetesses Malmaison. The rebels on the Loire, to the surplice of every one, continue in great force. and pOisess all the strong holds. The Police. are on the look out for French officers, who' are stealing into Paris every boar, and are said to amount to 10,000 already. Passports and permissions are rigorously called for, and such as have none are inpuediately sent away. • u It is said that, by the Convention, the British army may be continued for four years in Prance, d'ur tng which time they are to fle paid and rationed - by the French Government. The Duke of Wellington i•has permitted the army to assist ist,the harvest, Ruder certain regulations.

He has sent more troops to hfontm.trtte„ which, you 'know, not only defends, but tenor:mi.: Paris: It seems remarkable, but there must be some good .reason for it ; there are now either four or six regiments, and those very strong, doing duty there._ I find the *review will take plac'e on the Prince lie. gent's Birth-day, on which it is expected the third Order of the Bath will come out, along with soar: other honours, to the army. " The Emperoril a Austria has taken th e l ea d i n conferring Orders the British Officer:.

The agents of the allied armies empty all the chests, and give t ) all the Mayors the orders for requisitions. They have begun to cut down the forests. The inhatolits of .18 towns, and villages in the Loiret have taken re. Juge in the forest of Orleans, abandoning their houses, devastated by the Wurtemburghers, and, above all, the Bavarians. The latter are worse than the Prus. ssians, as they commit acts useless even to avarice. The Emperor of Russia says already that the Allied Armies are become embarrassing to Generals who command them, and they cann,t be: permitted to continue in the country. Ezcelmans will be condemned to be shot, Ole King will pardon him, and order him to be trar..— ported to Guiana. - " There are nightly disturbances in the Thuilltries under the King's windows.
