His NT,:justy's Ship Boyne, Naples Bay, May 25. My letter of the 12:h instant will have informed their Lordships of my movements up to that date, and the arrangements I ha made with Lord William Bentinck, and the forces from Sicily, to co-operate with the allied army upon Naples s—ln continua tion I beg to acquaint you, for their Lordships' further inforMation, that I arrived off Civita-Vecchia on the evening of the !Fah, where learning from Mr. Cook (who came from Rome expressly for the purpose) the rapid approach of the Austrians towards Naples, I continued my voyage, without delay, for that place. I reached Naples on the 20th, finding the Tremen dous and Alcmene at anchor close to the Mole, and the two lint• of battle ships hailed out alongside of thema On the 21st, in the morning, the marines were landed and took possession of the iorts and castle of St. Helm, and united with the civic guard, and kept the city in n state of tolerable tranquillity until the 23d, when the Austrian army made its public entry with Prince Leopold, and the next day the different torts were delivered over, and the marines embarked. It is my intention to put the Government of King Ferdinand the Fourth, on his arrival, in immediate possession of the naval arsenal, with the Vesuvius, of SU guns, building at Castellamare, and also of all the gun boats, stores, Sec. in the arsenal of Naples, which I think are absolutely necessary for conducting the affairs of Government, until the pleasure of their Lordships shall be known. The two ships of the line, Joachim and Capri, were entirely abandoned to Captain Campbell by the late Government, 1 have ordered to proceed to Malta, manned and. conducted by the Alcmene, there to nek their Lordships' iiistructions. Boyne, Genoa Day, July 5. I have the honour to acquaint you, ftw.theer Lord. ships' iliformation, that I arrived at this anchorage this morninp, with the ships named in the margin*, Baying previously landed the lust division of the Au • strini troops at Lt horn. Front the situation in which I find affairs on the coast et Provence, 1 have, in concert with Major Ge neral Sir klndsoo Lowe, come to the determination to proceed inunetletely to Marseilles, with about three thousand men of this garrison t, which embarked with the assent of the Sardinian Government at oar request, and it is my intention to take the nal:sports with the arms on board, to be employed as may be found advisable. I shall use every effort to afford all the assistance and co:operatiou in my power, to tarry Iwo effect the intentions of his Majesty's Go vernment, as detailed in the papers accompanying your letter of the 90th of May Lst, which I have this snoeniug bad the boom to receive from Sir kiu Lowe, who embarks on board the Beync ; adi hope to sail in the Morning for Marseilles. Boyne o ff Marseilles s loly Is. In referent to my letter of the SJ instant, a dupli . tate of which accompanies this, I have the hohour to acquaint you, for their Lordships' information, that we anchored in Marseilles Reads, on the evening of the 10th, with the ships named in the margin $. The following morning I went on shore, accompanied by Major General Sir Hudson Lowe, where we were re ceived by the Marquis de Riviere, the Membeis of the Royal Committee of Provence, acting in the name of his Majesty Louis the Eighteenth, and all theother Authorities, with every manifestation of joy. On the 13th, the transports from Genoa, under convoy of the Aboukir, anchored in the Bay ; the fol lowing morning the troops (about three thousand five •hundred men) debarked, and have occupied such Fobiticnis as the. General and myself have thought most eligible. I have landed five hundred marines from the line of battle ships, who are doing duty with the army. The loyalty of the Marseillois is very conspicuous, and the appearance of a British force, together with the arming of the national guard, which the Mar quess de Riviere has been enabled to accomplish through my assistance, has produced the best effect in calling forth professions of attachmeneto the Royal Cause, which their unprotected and defenceless state, until now, compelled them to suppress. Toulon sell displays the tricoloured hag, under Marshal Brune, and great excesses have been committed in raising contributions in that neighbourhood. On the 13th Marshal Murat, who is at Toulon, sent his Aid de Camp, Lieutenant-General Roseui, to-me to propose his being received on board one of the ships for protection and safe conveyance to Eng land: lit reply, I . charged this officer to inform Murat, that if be chose to go on bo,u - doone of the ships off Toulon, in order to receive personal protection, it would be afforded, but that I should not enter into any e:► • v.lhcments •with him as to his destination, • lea:•ing ;hit point to be settled by reference to Eng land. I have this day heard. that Murat, finding, on the (etnin et . 4,is oaiccr, he would not be received on beard a British ship on the terms which he pro posed, 1,.:s left l'oulun, taking an eastern route to wards Piedmont.

MNIMEMIt ADMIRALTY OFFICE, AUGUST IL Copy of a letter from the Hon. Captain Aylmer, of his Majesty's ship Pactolus, addressed to Admiral Viscount Keith, and transmitted by his Lordship to John Wilson Croker, Esq. His Majesty's ship Pactolus, In the Gironde, July 24, ISM Mr Loan--I have the honour to transmit an ac count of the proceedings of the squadron since my last letter of the 14th of July. Considering that the first object of entering this ri ver was to secure the retreat of his Majesty's ships in case of a reverse,'and having learnt that the posts of General Clausel extended the whole length of the ri ver froni Bourdeaux, and that from the heavy force at his disposal the tri-coloured flag was flying Imme diately beyond the range of our guns, we were ex tremely anxious to ascend the river, so that we might continue to threaten his detachments, and at the same time throw ourselves as much as possible into the centre of the population ; but it was, however, neces sary in the first place to secure the defences of the river, and the exertions of the two strips were neces sary to that effect, as the enemy was close at hand, (both on the. Bosirdeaux and the side of La Charente inferieure) and our force - a small one. The destruction of the batteries was necessazily /try delicate measure, and one which the people, however loyal, were naturally alarmed at; but from the exertions and conciliatory representations at the Count de la Tour and the Baron de Montalenstrert, together with the promptness with which the service was followed up, we succeeded in completely destroy: ing every piece of cannon that operated in the smallest degree upon the communication of the river. The forts of Verdon, Royan, de Lonsac, and Mi. elle, were completely dismantled, and nearly seventy pieces of heavy at tillery (mostly French thirty-six pounders), including in that number a great many mortars, were completely spiked, and their carriages rendered useless. The fort on Pont Negro, which did not so imme diately command the passage, was not touched. At this time Comte de la Tour and myself entered into a negociation with General Clausel, and for that porpnse dispatched Captain Palmer to hilt. 'On' Sunday the 16th, erery thing having been arranged for organizing the people of the district we left, we run farther up in the neighbourhood of Castellon, where there was another battery, and a French pest, with the tri.coloured flag I when I received a dispatch from General Clausel, formally announcing to me the armistice that had taken place at Paris, and ex pressing a wish that it might operate here. From the tone of the communication, 1 considered that there was a good opportunity for continuing to treat with him, and did so till it ended in the General sending for Count de la Tour, the Baron de Montalembert, and Captain Palmer, who are now at Bourdeaux, ar ranging the National Guard, and preserving the in ternal tranquillity of that city. Throughout the country the white flag is now flying, and the enthusiasm and jby of the inhabitatus cannot be better described, than by the letter I have just received (and which I inclose) from Captain Palmer, at Bourdeaux, who throtight.ut has been ex tremely active, and by his judgment very serviceable indeed to the cause we have been engaged in. The greatest cordiality has existed between the French Gentlemen employed on this set vice and myself ; and their dispatches 1 bave forwarded to Lord Ba thurst, by the Larne, who brings this letter to your Lordship. I have deemed it proper, with the advice of the Baron de Montakn.bert, to continue Captain Palmer at Bnurdeaux, to assist in making the arrangements for the quiet and order of the city. A French ship, laden with cotton and copper, from the Missisiri, bac fallen into our hands 'Midst lying in the river, but Captain Palmer with myself., considering that it would favour the came greatly and convince the people of the good faith of the squadron, we cpnsentncl to let her pass up the the loyalty of the inhabitants we thought strongly meriting this step.-1 have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) F. W. AYIMILR, Captain. Bourdeaus, Saturday Night, July ta. SIR—We arrived here (the Baron Montalembert, the Comte La Tour, and myself) late this evening, andinunediately proceeded to the house of General Clause!. We nave just returned from thismeeting, and every thing has been settled in the most satisfA. 'tory manner. The troops lately under Bonaparte have left the city, except a few, who will be disposed of as soon as possible. These are mostly in the Chateau Trompette, away from the opportunity of producing much mischief, or quarrelling with the in. habitants or national guards; which latter ate cam. pleting both cavalry and infantry with the greatest zeal and activity, and will in a few days be very for. midable, as well from their numbers as their devotion to the royal cause. For the most part t h e % mk t ", have broken up, separated, and returned -to their homes ; and every step has been taken for the pe ace , of the surrounding country. A dispatch is now closing for the Duke of Angots. ,lame, who is in Toulouse, and his itoyal Highness may be expected in a very few days. I cannot Rive you, in writing, an idea of the feeling that pervades all ranks aid descrip. Lions of persons ;a this city. While I write to you, the hotel at which we lodge is surrounded by an im-' mane populate, and shouting, a thousand times re peated, 66 Vive le Roi," 4 ‘ Vive Wellington," “ Vivent les Anglais," &c. &c. The whole city is illuminated. The windows and balconies are filled with busts of their Sovereign and the Royal Family, while groups of the citizens are every where dispersed about the street:, singing and playing the most loyal and popu lar airs, expressive of their love for their King and their jay at his return. They have Vrig been prepared for this, but the white flag, which is now flying from every house, was hoisted only to-dliy at the Castle, and the feeling of the people, so long suppressed, has now broken forth with increased energy. Our passage up the river was.very interesting $ for seventy miles along both banks one feeling of loyalty appeared to prevail, except where the soldiery, just breaking up from their several posts, awed and re strained it. From the tops and branches of the trees, the country seats, the villages, every where, the white colours and the Fleur: delis were to be seen. As our barge approached the city, the people poured down' along the quays and river vide, cheering and wel coming us. Indeed, such was the throng, it was with the utmost difficulty we could press on or make our way through the caresses of the people. am happy to say that amidst all this enthusiasm nothing like violence or tumult has occurred. The rejoicings are to continue some days, but every hour now will strengthen the police of the city, so that there is not the smallest apprehension to be enter. tainecl.--1 have the honour to be, &c.

It is asserted that Marshal Ney has been arrested in Switzerland, and conveyed into France. A battalion of French•Oi fi cers, who had followed the King to Ghent; made their entrance yesterday into the capital, and repaired to the Court of the Thuil leries, amidst exclamations of 66 Vive le Roi !" A letter from Lyons of the 4th instant quotes one from Avignon, containing the following intelligence: " Marshal thane was recognized here the moment he arrived. The people soon crowded around him l and menaced him. The General retreated into an inn, and it was soon after announced that he was no more. The Magistrates were sent fur, and a state :tient was drawn up, which asserts that the General lured blown his brains out. The fury of the people, however, was not appeased. The dead body was placed on a hurdle, ignominiously dragged through the streets, and then thrown into the river." A Ge neral Officer who arrived yesterday direct from Too. lon, and who cause post, relates that he left the Mar. shat there in good bealth.—This account is at variance with the above letter. The Lx. King Murat left Toulon in disguise, and under a fictitious name, accompanied by two domes tics, the day after he was informed of the surrender of Bonaparte, directing his course towards the mann tains. Nothing has since been known respecting him in Provence. One of the Officers in his suite was ar rested at 'l'oulnn two days after Murat went,offj hut he either could not or would not give any information about him. The Chamber of Correctional Police this day sen tenced a man named Pogue to two months imprisnn nient, for having exclaimed Vive l'Empereur. His punishment was mitigated, on the ground of his hav ing been intoxicated when he committed the offence. The Court-Martial upon Colonel Labedoyere will assemble to-morrow in Regard street.

PARIS, AUGUST % To-day his Majesty the Emperor of Russia re. viewed one of his corps d'armee; consisting of about 50,000 men, infantry, cavalry and artillery, toot and on horseback. The troops were drawn up at siz in the morning from the boulevart de la Madeleine that of the pone St. Antoine ; and from the (psi de -Gems to the Place Louis XV. At eleven o'cic:k his Majesty the Emperor Alexander, accompanied by their• Majesties the Emperor of Austria, the King of Prussia, their Royal Ilighne4ses the Dukes of An, gouleme and Berry ; and numerous Staffs of tlx Allied Powers, among whom were remarked Prince Volkonsky, Aide•de-Camp General of h.; Majesty the Emperor Alexander, Lord Wellington, the Princes of Schwartzenberg. and Lichtensteir., rode along the line. Shouts of long live the Emperor Alexander were heard on all sides. His Majesty, after having twice crossed the houlevarts, followed by the same retinue, took his station on the Place Louis XV. where the troor s defilzd before him, and afterwards took each the road to their canwnments. Their Majesties the Emperor of Austria, aad the King of Prussia, wore the Russian uniform The Emperor of Austria was on the right, the King of Prussia on the left. and the Emperor Alexander is the centre. The masniiiceat and truly impos:ng ap. pearance of the Russian troops was snuck admired, 'The artillery, especially, was very fine. His Royal Highness the Duke of Berry was re set nut on the 17th (or Lille. where be was to preside in the Electoral College of the Department of the North. We are assured that M. Labeduyere has made, iu the several examinations, he has undergone, very im. portant discoveries relative to the persists who brought about the fatal events of the month of March. .It is said that Jerome and Joseph Bonaparte were arrested yesterday, in Paris itself, where they were concealed in the bone of a Lady. It is asserted ton, that they were not strangers to the late scenes at the *Vhuilleries. All their plots are now frustrated. The promenade of the garden of the Luxembourg w.is yesterday opened to the public. A corps c; Prussian troops continues to encamp there. The head.quarters of the Prussian artny and Pi ir.ct Blucher wi 1 to-morrow leave Itambouillin to repair to Caen. The public fonds yesterday and to-day experienced rise upon the exchange of 2 fr. 30 cents. They were at 58 fr. 15 cents. yesterday, and they rose ti. 60 tr. 75 cents. This rise of public credit is attributed t , ) a report circulated among the merchants, and t-f which the confirmation will be generally agreeab.e. It is said that the Duke of Wellington has been aps pointed Ambassador to the Court nt France. The Marshal Duke of Tarente, e.overner of Berry, arrived at Bourges on the 31st of July. The next day he took the command in chief of the army of he Loire; he is, besides, President of the Electoral CA. lege of Cher. • General Vandamme arrived on the 4th instant at Limoges, with his Staff-Major. He made apparmr dispositions for remaining there. No one in th4c city believed him self authorized, or capable of arresting him; and he acted as if he was ignorant that any measures were decreed against him. In this state of things the civil and administrative anthorities appeared embarrassed, in the ofAcial relations they were obliged to hold him. In the department of the Upper Garonne, royal volunteer corps are forming, in which will be adiatt• ted soldiers of the line who abandon their corps. The small place of Marienbourg, near Rocroy, has been surrendered to the Prussian troops on the sam♦ conditinos as Landrecies. Tranquillity was established only a moment at Nisnies. New storms soon succeeded to the interval of calm. A letter iron: thence mentions, that 14, Arb iud de Jonques, finding his force insufficient to repress the disorders, had quitted the town, after re, riiiidihg there only four (Lys.

It is said he is still alive, The Danish contingent, now on their march through Bremen for France, amounts to 15,000 men, 5000 horses, and 40 pieces of cannon. We are assured that Marshal Ney has been arrest. ed in Switzerland, and oat he will be conducted to France. the fortress of Metz has capitulated. Since the Police of th 2 Garden of the Thuillerfes has been confided to the Dike of Otranto, there have been no further tumults or disturbances. PARIS, AUGU I S. It would be difficult enough to say, If ever there was a time in which fortune, oe rather Providence, afforded the world more st= apeetacles than in ours. Bon a parte, who Ws himself secure on blithe:rue two months ago, hesitates at this moment whether he will allow himself to be conducted to the Island of St. Helena, or whether be will take leave of his life : he, who was surrounded a short time ago by so many anus devoted to him, cannot now flatter himself that be shall find a servile hand to render him the service of killing him; beneath the effeminate Otho, who at least dared to` die without hesitation, and more unfortunate than Nero, whose days were terminated by a freed man, be bad not the courage to attempt his own life, and he is not now sure the 1 he can obtain death : all the Kings, all the Prinr, of his sort, whom we saw figuring away along with him On the theatre of the Champ de Mai, in costumes and with attitudes more or less dramatic and gee. tessue, now fly dispersed like a troop of maskers after* cArnival, throwing away their crowns, sceptre: and cloaks ; King Murat, surnamed Franeeini by the allay. on account of the anectation of his military dress, and who could not come to display on the Champ de Mai his plumes, his embroideries and at! his tinsel, now wanders about nearly destitute among the most remote defiles of time Alps. under a mac.' less pompous and less brilliant disguise.
