The Princess of Wagrani (wife of Berthier) on returning to France, has been arrested at the Aus trian cut-posts. The fortifications on the heights of Montmartre, t. Chaumont, and Menil-Montant, commenced on Thursday. A letter from London, dated the Ist of May, ar rived this day, announces that the Manifesto against France was signed the 30th of April. It is therein declared, that all the vessels that left France under the white flag shall be at liberty to return. His Imperial Majesty was occupied during the whole of yesterday with his Ministers. The Count de Noailles, Ambassador from the Count de Lille to Congress, is arrived at Ghent. PARIS, MAY 6. We are assured that the Emperor has decreed a Regency, composed of Ministers and Presidents of the Sections of the Council of State.

Last night arrived Madame, the mother of our august Queen. Her Imperial Highness was con veyed from the isle of Elba in the ship Joachim, which his Majesty bad sent for -her. She lantkd amidst the firing of artillery and the acclamations of s concourse of people. The /Print* Royal set out from Portici, to meet Madame, as soon as he per ceived the vessel] The state of the Queen's health did not permit her to leave htr apartment to greet a mother whom she so tenderly loves. Madame pro ceeded to Portici to her august daughter. The arrival of her Imperial Highness was preceded a few da)s by that of his Eminence Cardinal Pesch. ROME, APRIL 19. Our city continues to enjoy the greatest tranquil. lity, thanks to the firmness of the Members of the Supreme Junta, and it seems as if there was no rea son to fear a change in the good disposition of the inhabitants which maintains it. No Neapolitan soldiers have entered Rnme: some ”ipeiior officers have obtained permission of the luma to reride there. General Prince Pignatelli is there at this moment. A division from five to6ooo men passed yesterday under our walls ; it took up cantonments in the ceighbouring villages. It is but justice to declare that the Neapolitan troops have committed no excesses in our country, d that, by exemplary punishments, those have been irpressed, of which there was reason to coMplain. His Holiness continues to keep up a very active cor. respondence with the Junta ; nothing is said concer ring his return to his capital ; but we have been as tared that he has no intention of quitting Italy. There has appeared here the following piece, which tre give verbatim, with all the et ors in sense and Illguage. The Government has disavowed it, and viu;ed it to be withdrawn from circulation, after it i;:d been published some (Lys.

Last night the Path Papers of Saturday came to hand, and we are happy to add, that they are as per fectly uninteresting us any that have for some time been received. They have rung the changes so often on 46 patriotism"-4 , good spirit" — 4l noble senti ments" g l levies" —4l Volunteers" National Guatds," &c. that they exhibit nothing but laboured sterility. The Parisians, however, are evidently far from being easy ; nor is it possible that the intelli gence from the North can add to their comfort. All the strong places on that frontier have been declared in a state of siege : in other words, the inhabitants are pu: under the command of the military, and every intercourse with other places, it such as the Commandant may approve, is consequently sus pended. This explains the statement before received, that the intercourse with Calais and other places was interrupted ; but though restrained, it may still, un der military inspection, be suffered to a certain extent. These Papers also announce that a Regency has been appointed by NAPOLEON, composed of the Mi nisters and Presidents of the Sections of the Council of State. This, of course, is preparatory to BONA. 'PARTE% setting off for the army, which circumstan ces m.iy render indispensible ; but he will quit even his own delegated rulers with much reluctance, well knowing from his own deeds that a delegated autho rity may, by the occupiers, be turned against their principal. Tnis he bow: has happened more than once, and may happen again : and he knows that as he has only from necessity admitted the leaders of certain parties to participate in power, so they only from necessity, or prudential motives, have allowed him to resume his former title and nominal authority. He has therefore to dread that they may make use of his name and authority precisely as he has done their influence—merely for convenience ; and that his reign may by them be cut very short. He must at this moment be one of the most miserable of hu man beings: having absolutely no stay but the army —a stay which the history of all ages has proved to be the most fickle and urcettain of any. The minor Journal, hare 'published a document, purporting to be a declar.ation of NAPOLEON in favour of the POPE, but which is disavowed en the pan of the P.ipal Government. It presents much absur dity ; but may nevertheless have been transmitted by 13oNamaTE, or some of his agents, to answer a temporary purpose ; for, according to M. CHATEAU DNIAND, 48 Lying is regularly organized by this pre. tended government: It is an established part of their administration of affairs. They have lies calculated to serve a quarter of an hour, others which will go you an hour, others a day, others a whole week !" This, from its date, might be intended to operate for a fortnight or three weeks. DAvoust's address to the Municipal Officers should be read as a specimen of French declamation without a single argument. "If we are obliged to take up arms," says he. Obliged ? Is there any necessity, Sir, to fight for your being War Minister ? Is it worth the least drop of blood to make CARROT a .Count, or Fottus; a Duke, or to place a Corsican on the throne of France, who has twice deserted her armies, and once abdicated her government ? The fact, which we stated yesterday, is confirmed by private letters from Paris, that . BosaeAara's most valuable effects still remain packed up ; which has r procured for him the uickmatne of Prince de Lam- Liar, (r ernballl, the packed-up.) We have nu fresh accounts from the Netherlands this day. • From all the intelligence lately received from that quarter we think that before many days we shall be informed of actual hostilities having com menced on that frontier. Our accounts of the military operations in Italy come down to the 24th ult. and are very iatisfActory. For particulars we refer our Readers to the fol lowing MILITARY REPORT-4 4 10. IV. " Head•Guartcn at Mantua, Aptil 24, 1815. is The pursuit of the enemy after the battles at Ravele and Casaglio, has been continued without in terruption. His breaking up from the Panaro no longer allows him any point of halt, and with greater rapidity than in his ill-concerted advance against the Legations, the Tuscan and Modenese territories, must he, anxiously avoiding a battle, gelinqui:l these specious advantages with considerable loss. " Field Marsha' Lieutenant Bianchi entered Bo logna with the army corps under his command; while the division of Field Marshal Lieutenant Count Neup pm, closely following the retreating movements of the Neapolitans, occupied 'nit)la, .Faenaa, and on the 19th instant, Forli. " On the right bank of the river Ronco, the enemy left behind the division Lecchi, in a position very voutable t from the advantages of the gmand ; and pillage of the rapid RoocO, in sight of the whole enetisy's es Count Neupireig reiolired to attack the enemy Without loss of time ; with this view he detached the brigade of Count Haugwirt, by the mountains of Meldola towards Roversano, to threat.rn their left flank, while he, with a just confidence in the valour of his troops, effected, in cull day of the 21st, the news was received that a corps still more considerable continued entrenched at Cesena. 66 The advanced guard, under the brave and skilful conduct of General Bardn Geppert. and Culonel Count Zichy, of the Lichtenstein Hussars, crossed the river, the bank of which the enemy were forced to evacuate. Two divisions of the regiments St. Ju lian and Weid-Runkel, bravely led on by Lieutenant Colonel Longueville and Major Sajoncsek, followed to support the former, and with the 11th Chasseut battalion, formed a bulwark, under the protection of which the pioneer companies of Major Felsh estab lished a bridge, and prepared a free passage for the troops of all arms. 66 About eight in the evening the whole was com pleted, the enemy attacked in his position at the charge step, and in less than 2'o minutes was driven back to Forlipepoli. In vain dikl King Joachim, who, according to the report of all the prisoners, was present in person, advance with two lartcier re giments of the division Carascosa, and with them endeavour to break through our masses of infantry. ' 4 ' Captain Count Harttg. of the Prince Regent's, and Captain Gemery, of the Lichtenstein hussars, made some brilliant charges v. ith their squadrons upon the close columns of the above regiments, of whom the greater part were cut down, and the rest dispersed: alarm and dismay were spread among the enemy's ranks, whose flight, at the same time de cided by the advance of Count Hangwitz threaten. ing their communications, (and who on his side had driven the enemy with considerable loss to Bertinorn) would have ended in complete rout, had not the coming on of a rainy night prevented the farther pursuit, and induced Count Neupperg to confine his victory for this day to the important advantages al ready gained. 66 The report frcm the field of battle does not com municate the official details of our loss, which was very trifling, nor that of the enemy, which was great. A considerable number of prisoners, the greater part left wounded on the field of battle, give a deplorable description of the Neapolitan army, in which despon- ' dcncy and discontent threaten to loosen the ties of obedience, inasmuch as the confidence of the troops in the cause for which, as well as in the leader under whom they fight, is wholly destroyed. 44 The joy of the inhabitants of every district through wbich our victorious army marches, and their satisfaction at these f n itmate events of war, are conspicuously displayed. Many mountaineers have taken up arms, and joined our advanced guard. The people of ail ranks cordially hold out their bawls to their deliverers, and lighten the movements of the troops by voluntary service•. 44 The advance of General Neupperg is accom panied along the sea-coast by a corps under the command of ' Major Pnquet, of the Fenner chas seurs, who, supported by Major Brehm, of the Hesse- Homburg Infantry, attacked on the 19th, an enemy's division at Ravenna, and drove it over the Savio. The above Ma or Brehm, Commandant at Comma chio, attacked and took an enemy's vessel in the har bour of Purtonuova, carrying one piece of cannon, with 13 seamen." Whilst the preceding reprrt was in the press, at. counts were received from Count Neupperg, that the enemy had evacuated in the nig4t of the 22J, his strongly elatenchel position at Cesena, and was re tiring in wed haste, Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Rye, dated May 9 : . " A French fishing-boat arrived here this morning from Bou logne, which port sbe quitted on Monday. The Master reports that BONACARTZ slept at Boulogne on Sunday night, aad took his departure from thence on Monday morning." Letters received this morning from Park of the 6th instant, state that BONAPARTS had dismounted all the Gens d'Armes, and sent their horses to the army. By these and other means he has formed cavalry to the number of 35,000. He has given the Gens d'Armes SOO franks each to procure a horse for the service of their corps.
