The same persons that began to tell on the ant information of Bonaparte's landing in France, have continued. the whale of this morning disyusing of their stock. Since our last, Paris l'apers to the 17th PI LIAO inclusive, have reached us. To the ample extracts which we have given from them in our columns, we refer our Readers for all the details which the French Government have communicated through the Iffo teiteur; Yesterday Government received dispatches fretn Lord Ferztioir SotarftsEr at Paris. At the time the Courier left Paris (Friday morning) every . thing re mained quiet in that Capital. On Thursday a great sensation was produced by the King's going to the Chamber of Deputiei, and by what passed on that occasion. When his Masesry left the Chamber the air rung with acclamations. Many thoustuds of his speech on that occasion were instantly printed and circuiated, and produced the happiest effect. The latest authentic azcotints relative to noNA. PARTE come up to the I3ch, whin he advanced from Lyols toward Macon, 40 miles north of the former place. At Mixon, at Chalons, and at Dijon, his agents had previously been busy endeavouring to ex. cite insurrection in favour of the tyrant, and to a cer tain extent had secceedcd in raising the lowest of the populace. This is ascribed to the artifices used '9iy his emissaries, and the lies they had previously circu. laced in the dep,:rttnents—as that an insurrection had taken place at Paris, at the head of which were many Senators and persons of distinction; that a Provisinal Government was established, waiting the return Of NAPOLEON to the Capital, &c. &c. Such were ti. means employed to mislead the people ; and Procla. nations to the same effect were published and circe.' laud by BONAPARTE. The fojlowing is a copy of one of thesn : " DECLARATION OF HIS MAJESTY, TILE EMPEROR OF TIT FRENCH, TO THE FRENCH, AND PAR UCULASILY TO THE PARISIANS. " After an abdication, the circumstances of which you are acquainted with; after a Treaty, all the articles of which) have been violated; after having seen my retreat penetrated by nu• nimbus assassins, all sent by the Bourbon.); after hiving s.len the French Ministers intriguing at Vienna, to wrest from in.! the asylum to which I was reduced, and to take from my wife and soh the States which had been guaranteed to them; from that son, whose birth inspired you with so !Ivey a kry, and who ought to have been to all the Sovereigns a sacred plethe. All these attempts made in viol 'don of plighted faith, have restored me to my throne and my liberty. •' Frenchmen ! satin !shall be in my capital ; I cone surroun ded by my brave brethren in .11111,4 —aqer having delivered our Provinces of the :loud), and my good City of I.youa from the re'2,i) of fanaticism, which is that of the Bourbons.

" In concert witb you I will take measures, in order that the State may be governed constitutionally, and that a wise liberty may never degenerate int6•lte:ntiousness. " I will mitigate to the FitlsfacLion of all those Impost.; become odious, *hi* the IlottanoNs gave you their princely word, they would abolish under the title of Drat, Rivals, and which they have re-es:abli.hed tinder the title of inilir:ct impositions.

"No vengeance—it is far from my heart : the Bourbons have set a price on my head, and 1 pardon them. If they tall into my' power, I will protect them; I will deliver them to their Allies, if they wish it., or to that foreign country where their Chief has already reigned nineteen years, and where he may continue this glorious reign. To this my vengeance is limited. " 1 Be calm, Parisians, and you National Guards of that noble City—you who have already rendered such great services—you who, but for treason, would have been enabled to defvnd it for save home longer, against those Allies who were ready to By from France. Coo;inue to protect propertj and civil blizrty ; then you will have deserved well of your Country and of your limperor. " From my Imperial General Hoad-quarters, Bourg/dog, • March 8 , 181 . 5 (ligned) NAPOLtON• • ••• • • Countersigned, . *lle General of Division BS/TRANI>, Grand Marshal of the Palace, exercising the functions Of Secretary of State." As right be expected these lies produced some effect. It was in consequence of a belief in their truth that the 13th Regiment of Dragoons had joined the rebel standard; but no sooner did they find how grossly they had been deceived than they instantly returned to their duty, and joined Marshal NEY. The exact amouat of the invader's force cannot be easily ascertained. In theMonitrue it is stated not to exceed 8000. NEY's force has got in his rear, and is estimated at 10,000. He has also in his rear Ge neral MOUTON nu Vuterr, who is marching by Die, and General Mrouts by Gap. In front there are advancing against him the corps of DVPONT from Tours, of VICTOR from Chalons, and of Of:MOT from Metz. Some people augur very unfavourably from the dribßiltdOCE Or BONAPARTE )11E4 teeti allowe] to advance front Lyons without tieing attacked, and infer that certainly his force is`superior to that. sent against him. This mode of reasoning is more spe cious than solid. If he can, by the armies sent against him, be cat off from all intercourse with the surrounding country, there may be many reasons why this should be preferred to the danger of an un foreseen defection front the royal standard by those troops which have before been used to fi . .;ltt under I the eagles. Unnecessary risks should never LH courted in war. We recollect very well, when a few 'bewildered French troops had suneeded in making good a landing in Ireland some years ago, that Lord CoaNwaws, who had at least twenty times their force, adopted precisely the same line of conduct. He did not attack the French—he even did 'not go close to them ; but as they moved he moved, still keeping in a circle round them; and at length they laid down their arms. The motive for his conduct was probably the same that row directs the movements of the French Marshals. asaffection had been shewn in some neighbouring parts, and in. vitations had been industriously circulated some of his troops to lay down their arms or to jo;ri the enemy.—The effect of the desertion of a si.i3le regiment, or even a single company, during an en. gagement, can only be calcu.ated by military men'. It is often electric, and its bare possibility is one of the circumstances which good Generals are always most anxious to guard agaiiit. The conduct of the ICINa and of the whole Royal Family is highly to be admired. Had he followed the advice given him by some courtiers (could they be any thing but enemies ?), and fled from Paris on the landing of his enemy, BONAPARTE would by this time have been reinstated in his former power. If the French Marshals continue true in their loyalty, and of this these is every appearance at present, the pre sent conflict cannot be of long duration—though it cannot be disguised that so long as this man shall live there is reastm to be alarmed for the mischief he may possibly effect. DEFEAT OF BONAPARTE BY MARSHAL NE?. Accounts have reached Town from Dover, brought by a boat from the French coast, stating that BnNA PISItTE' had been defeated, near Macon, by the force under 'Marshal NCY,, with the loss of one General and Eight Hundred Killed and taken Prisoners. What came of Bonaeants, or which way he re treated, we have not been able to ascertain. It was thought that in the event of a defeat he would endea vour to make his way into Switzerland, where, it appears, his brother JOSEPH had for some time been employing the plunder of Spain in endea vours to organize a hand of discontented persons to co-operate with the tyrant in his designs against France. A short time will remove the present Un certainty. After writing the above, we were informed that a Mtm,enger had arrived at the Foreign (Nice, in Downing -street, with dispatches announcing the above intellipence ; and that the action took place at Cha- lons, on Thursday last. Instead of one General, it is said that three have been taken prisoners. In fact no regular dispatches have been received: hut this day, at noon, a French Gentlemen arrived in Downing -street, in a post-chaise and four, from Dover. After communicating some intelligence verbally at the Foreign Office, he proceeded to the Treasury to Mr. ARBUTHNOT, with whom he held a conversation of half an hour. We cannot learn that he brings any intelligence of a more recent date than that which we have received through the medium of the French Papers, having come fiom sojne part of the French coast, at a considerable distance from the capital. 1-re - statei, — diat Itteliee• spirit prevails through that part of France with which he is acquainted, and that intelligence had reached the coast to the above effect. Count LA CUArti v the French Ambassador, by the command of his Sovereign, communicated on, Saturday, to the PRINCE Rummy, the determination of Louts XVIII. and the French Princes not to quit the French Capital. The Prune REORNT com municated the circumstance to such Noblemen and Gentlemen as paid their respects to his ROYAL ffiQii. NU) in thecourse of Saturday and yesterday. • Two Ditch Mails arrived ligence which they bring chießy relates to occurrences in parts of Europe other than France, and is there. fore less interesting. We are, however, informed,. thron3h this channel, that the Prussian troops in the Luxemburgh are in motion towards Franco. .the We are happy to announce that the Duke of Wm.- LINGTON has been appointed Generalissimo of thel troops in the Netherlands, and ordered to proceed thither, without delay, to assume the command.— Transports have been taken up, and directions have been issued to expedite 6,000 troops from Irclind, aid three regiments of cavalry from London, to join his Grace's army. The greater part of the numerous French people who were in and about Portsmouth, are returning home, in apprehension that events may render such precaution necessary. Many have come over in haste from France to collect money due for provisions, &c. and have returned again. • SECOND EDITION. Since the preceding we have received the subjoined Letter from a Gritlernan in Paris, written on Friday night, the latest date in town. It will be seen that the intelligence of NET'S victory WAS then known is Peris, but it would appear that the impreis;on selich such intelligence might naturally have 13mi ex pz,:ml to produce, had been damped by reports (.f a I.:ss favourable complexion. We hopithat Nxx's victory will prove a forerunner to inteliiente of the complete overthrow and destruction of the tyrant, but the duty we owe to the public makes it imperious on us not to withhold any accounts ti:at reach us through a respectable channel: • * PARIS, MARCH 17, 9 P.

DO PER, Mathe le.. We have bad many arrivals from Calais both yes terday and to.day, and of course many reports; we cannot obtain any intelligence that may be relied on, except that all seem to agree that the affairs of France are much altered for the better within these I.w days last, and that BONAPARTE does not find so miny adherents to his cause as was expected : the spisis-44—ebvpsisplwisagt e tch against Wm.

If true, there will be no doubt an arrival this night, as there are some boats waiting at Calais to come away express whenever any thing particular occurs.
