In appropriating rewards, he ma lted that Ministers had not done something of t ip, kind for the Navy. Mr. GOULBURN denied that any dissatisfaction did really exist.in respect to the distribution of t h e Order. Mr. PONSONBY wished some explanation of the creation of the modification (as it was called) of the Order, because it was necessary to be done under the authority of the Great Seal.

The Officers selected for the honours were from those who had served under the Duke of Wellington. He advised those who objected to the distribution, not to insinuate, but to make a direct charge, and bring forward a motion.

FLIGHT OF THE KING OF FRANCE FROM PARIS ENTRANCE OF BONAPARTE! The crisis too plainly indicated by the complexion of all the accounts for the last two or three days has arrived. to have expected that any effectual resist ance would be opposed to the man who had been permitted, unopposed, to approach so near to Paris, with a military force o penly organized against the Poulton, ' *ould hare betrayed great ignorance of the motives and ptinciples which actuate a great por. ton of the Fre:ich people, and all the soldiers of their legular army& Mr. BRACRENBURY, whose arrival with dispatches we noticed in our paper of yesterday, was but the hearer of intelligence of the rapid advance of 130NA PARTE upon the capital of France, which intelligence was confirmed by the accounts brought yesterday evening by Mr. Rommoze, the Messenger, who arrived at six in the evening at Lord CASTLEREAGH'S Office with dispatches from Lord F. SODIERSET. He kft Paris at one o'clock on Monday morning, and, ve are grieved to state, brings intelligence that the Royal Family had found it neceuary to take their departure from the Thu;lleries at eight o'clock on Sunday evening, with no other prospect before them than that of again becoming exiles from their native country. It was known that BONAPARTE was to be it Fontainbleau that night ; that the force which vrai to oppose him at Melun could not be relied on, ►nd that all hupes of effectual resistance were vain. The unfortunate Monarch, Louis xvni. slept at itheville on Monday night, and horses were ready ;or him to proceed on Tuesday morning on the road !() Calais. When he entered Abbeville he had with . lim only three carriages, each with six horses. There vas no attempt at incognito, nor had his MAJESTY niy military escort. At Abbeville, where the Kota was recited with lints of rive & Roy ! he attempted, but was 'triable 'trim feeling, to addreu the people from the window the Hotel of the Prefecture, where he lodged.— The military in the streets, although disposed per , Inally to respet him equally with the inhabitants, /bile in his presence, did not scruple to avow their 'tachment to BONAPARTE by the usual cry of rive :Eafftereere I" Ind by songs in his praise at their '/uard du Corps. lt is said to have been one of the '4:6t touching scenes ever exhibited. We anderstand that the Dispatches announce 'mon other (we shall not say unexpected) events, 'at the force under Marshal N EY had joined Dos A 4kTa. NEY calls it a surrender, his soldiers refusing 1 ) fight againt the ENIPLUOR ; hut to all intents and urposes, it was a junction. Upon the approach of 'INAPAILTE towards Melun being known, dip regular "fxips had manifested a spirit which plainly indicated 'e part they meant to act, and the national guards "tit were not in a condition to offer any resistance. ' l4 and other disastrous intelligence having reached ''r it would have been the height of madness in : 4 -oyal Family to have remained any longer. F.•,eiides the KINO, Mu:canon, the Duke de BERRI, c:':er members of the Royal Family, a great number of the faithful Nobility and Gentry had quitted Paris. many of whom proceeded for the Northern 'fortresses. or for the Netherlands. We do not learn whether the unfortunate and inte resting Dottiest of ANcouLasts had reached Paris or not from Buurdeauk, in time to accompany the KING. Lord FITZROY SOMERSET. Vie understand, attends his Majesty. It had been brown that this Messenger would leave Paris, at a time to permit his arrival here about the hour when he actually came. A Cabinet Council, which met at two o'clock yesterday, had risen at halt• past four, and Lord CASTLEREAGH had gone to the House of Commons; but his Lordship returned to his Office at halt-past five, received the Messenger himself, and to .k the dispatches from him with his own hands. The Earls of BUCKINOHAXISIIIRE, Li vattpom., and Hannowar, came to the Office nearly at the same moment. Lord C4SMEREAO/1 returned to the House of Commons; the Earl of LIVERPOOL carried the dispatches to the Panic' REGENT. This morning, at six o'clock, later dispatches were received, announcing the approach of the Royal Family towards the coast. These dispatches arrived first at the General Post-Office, and were instantly carried to Lord CAsnzactort by Mr. FRIELING, the Secretary. By our letters from Dover we learn that 'AWLS XVIII. slept at Montreuil on Tuesday evening.— flat place is only about 26 or 27 miles from Calais. Of course the Royal Family would reach that port early yesterday morning ; and the presumption is that they are by this time safely landed in England, if no unforeseen impediment presented itself to their embarkation. The letters received this morning from all the parts of the coast opposite to France concur in their general statements respecting the departure of the Royal Family from Paris, and the approach of Bo- NAPARTE. They differ, as might be expected, in some of the details, and the particulars brought from the French ports farthest from the capital may be suspected to be the least accurate. We however sub. join them as they have reached us. Though some of the letters from the coast mention that 1301APARTE entered Paris on Monday, we think there can be no doubt that it was on Tuesday, the 21st inst.—his son's birth-day. It has ever been a part of his tactics to fix on what he calls fortunate days for great events ; and on his first landing he declared that on the anniversary of his son's birth he would plant his Eagles on the Thuilleries. What a prospect does these events present to Eu rope ! BONAPARTE again - at the head of the French Empire, by what may be called the unanimous accla mation of the whole French army—an army aug mented..hy the release of all the French prisoners that were in the hands of the Allies, probably not less than 300,000 in number, all panting to wipe oil' the dis. grace brought on the ' trench arms by the discomfiture of their Chief, and the capture of their Capital ! The question is not now whether the Powers of Europe should carry on a war against the man who has thus seized the Throne of France by a coufrdegnain, in opposition to the sentiments of the sober part of the French $ but whether they will allow themselves to be trampled on and annihilated by the Corsican, without an effort to ward off the ruin with which he threatens them ? It will be seen, in another part of our Paper, that the military preparations are very active. Those in the Naval department are not less active. Dispatches were forwarded last night, from the Admiralty, to all the Port-Admirals, and Commis sioners, at the different Ports in England. They are supposed to contain orders for a general impress and for other measures, suited to the occason of an im mediate rapture with France. e DOVER, MARCH U. 4 , We are all 'consternation this day, and if z any credit is to be given to the news from Boulogne, we may expect to see the King of rliatliCe here In the course of two or three days. .11 BONAPARTIS is said to have entered Paris on the 20th, the King having left the City and taken the' road to Calais. His Majesty is reported to have ar rived at Montreuil last night, and that relays of horses were placed on the toad from. thence to Calais for the use of his Majesty and suite.

" 15/ ARCH " Dv a boat this day, as well as by the pas.,engt.rs of the Prince Regent packet, we :,re eaab:ed to i - fotm you, that BONAPARTE entm-cl Paris on Isloneay last, at three o'clf?ck in the illternJon. His ae.v..r.ce.: guard consisted of about 2.00 taco, followed by up wards of 50,000. Not a single sl:ot was Fred, but universal shouts of Vive PErnftenur I' 44 Previous to the sailing of the above vessels, it was circulated, that an embargo would take place within 48 hours, by order of the New Goveinment. AR express has been forwarded to Carlton House, communicating the above intelligence. 4 , Louts had left Paris on Sunday evening for Ab beville." Just as this Paper was putting to Press, we learnt from a Gentleman who left Paris on Tuesday after noon, that BONAPARTE entered that city at four o'clock that day, accompanied by a guard of sixty cavalry. They had their arms reversed. The po pulace received him with universal shouts of “ Vive l'Empereur I"—There was no confusion Lours XVIII. has received an invitation from the Hon. Wauxst.er Pots, and is expected to arrive at Wanstead.house this evening or to-morrow morning. Up to the hour of the King's quitting his capital, not one of the French Marshals had quitted the (loyal cause. The new War Minister (CLARK) and the Portu guese Ambassador, came from Rouen in the same boat with the above Gentleman. THE 4R Mr. Warlike preparations go busily forward. A large quantity of cannon has been ordered to be shipped for Ostend. Fresh transports have been taken up, and troops are marching for the Continent. Orders were sent off, late last night, to the Lords- Lieutenant of the different Counties, the Militia of which have been disembodied, to re-embody them as speedily as possible. It is said, that orders will be issued to every regi. went of t;le line in England to prepare for active service. The whole of the troops assembled at Cork for the Coast of America, are, we presume, by this time in the British Channel. The Tvacit man of war sailed from Cork on the 17th instant with seven transports under convoy, having on board the 52(1 Regiment and the 14th Light Dragoons. At the same time seventeen sail of transports left Cork for Carlingford Bay, having on board the 28th, 79th, and 91st Regi ments which had also been assembled at Cork for a similar destination. All the above are what are termed crack regiMents, and are in the highest state of discipline ; they are newly clothed and equipped. The following Officers, with strong detachments for their respective regiments, are passengers on board the Rose, for Bengal, viz. Lieutenant-Colonel ('harks Maxwell, and Lieutenant Donald Macpherson, of the G7th regiment; Captain Thomas Andrewl, Lieutenant Thomas Allen, Ensign Robert March, and Assistant- Surgeon Fawcett, of the Sith ; with Msg. Colonel Maxwell, and Mrs. Fawcett. This day, at noon, the LORD MATOR, attended by the Sheriffs, and other City Ofricers, waited on the PRINCE REGRET with the City Petition, praying his Royal Highness to refuse his signature to the Corn Bill and to dissolve the Parliament. On the return of the cavalcade the populace took the horses from his Lordship's carriage at Temple Bar, and dragged him to the Mansion House amid the. loudest accla mations.

We are so,rry tb learn, that there was A considera ble riot, at Leicester,, cn Monday night. The win dows of the Mayor's house were broken, and some other damage done. The Corn ill was the pretence for the tumult; which wag not quelled, till the mili tary were called out, whose steadiness soon dispersed the ricters. Monday last, a serious riot took place at. Bishop Wearmouth, near Durham. It appears that Messrs. Nstsriams, the extensive coal-dealers of that place, have been several years busily occupied in erecting railways and other conreniencies, to save the labour of men and horses in conveying the coals from the pits. The keelmen, who are employed to convey the coals in boats or barges, had, it seems, taken offence at these improvements, and on Monday after ' noon, having first moored their barges cpposite Messrs. NSIIHAbIe premises, they proceeded in a rot ous manner to demolish their works. After complet ing the destructia of the most expensive and valuable part of the waggon road, which was the object of their animosity, they set fire to an immense pile of coals, which burned with great fury dui ing the whole night, presenting a grand and awful spectacle for many miles around. The rioters previously over powered all the proprietors and their friends who had assembled to repress the tumult. Mr. RomNsorg, the Collector of the Customs at Bishop Wearmouth, Mr. Btss, and several other Gentlemen of respectability, I were repeatedly knocked down, , and much cut and bruised. Mr. Buss had his face severely cut with a blow from a spade, while in the act of urging the rioters to be peaceable. It was three o'clock next morning.before the rioters were dispersed by the ar rival of the military. SECOND EDITION. LATEST INTELLIGENCE . FROM FRANCE. STAR-OFFICE, TWO O'CLOCK.
