Yesterday 25 French soldiers arrived from Lille, wring a white flag; the Count d'Artois, asked them their reasons for deserting; they answered that it was intended to make them march to war ; and that, in t w at case, they preferred fighting for their lawful So- His Royal Highness assured them they r. .;!; t j o in the faithful French, cantoned about Alost. 1:;oe men confirm the statement of the discontents among the troops which the letters from Lille men ti,,n, 14 eleserters from Dunkirk and other places ar l.red the same day. It is affirmed that Bonaparte, who found in the Treasury 42 millions of negotiable bills, and 32 mul l:As iu cash, had left only 14 millions in bills, which it WAS very , difficult to negotiate. A 4letter from Lyons, coming from , very good authority, says, that spite of all the French Journals say, respecting the g :ITricatS of the inhabitants in the South of France, they are gill greatly attached to the cause of the ' 1 Bourbons, and only wait for the first opportunity to declare themselves. FRANKFORT. APRIL 24.

TUESDAY, MAY 2, 1815. PRICE OF frrlteßti rills DAY AT TWELVE O'CLOCK: Reduce.' 56H-4 per Ct. 7111)--5 per Ct. Navy onif Consols 5711—for account 57ft-Imls I Is. Ike. pre. Exchequer bills 4s. to Bs. pre. Farther dispatches received by Government from Italy, give additional particulars respecting the check which has been given to MURAT. While he himself advanced in person with the main-body of his army, consisting probably of about 33,000, from Rimini, on the Adriatic, to Bologna, a strong column of about 7,000, under Gavial PION ATRLLI. marched by the neighbourhood of Rome upon Florence. The Austrian General NUHYNT, having retired from that place, about 16 miles to Pistoia, was followed thither by PIGNATELLI, and successively attacked on the Bth, 10th, and 11th ult. but always succeeded io repulsing the assailants with very considerable loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners, even to the walls, of Florence. The Vienna accounts do not come down to so late a period as the re-occupation of Flo rence by. General Nu ovar; but this fact, as our Readers kauw, has been established by other advice;. -.Whilst these operations-were going on in Tuscany, MURAT, with the army under his immediate com mand, made demonstrations of moving at the same time westward by Modena, Reggio, and Parma, up. on Placentia, and northward•on Ferrara. His prin- cipal effort, however, was in the latter direction. On the Sth and 9th be made two successive attacks on the tete-du-poet at Occhio Bello, and was repulsed in both. On the 11th General BIANCHI marched against his left at Carpi, about eight miles north of Modena.— The attack on this position was conducted by Count STAIIREARERO. The place was defended by the Neapolitan General Pate; and after a long and obstinate struggle, the latter was driven out of the town with the loss of twelve officers and five hundred meu. On the day following, the 12th, the Austrian Lieutefiant-Gencral NICIPPERO and General MOHR attacked the troops under MURAT himself, in position opposite Ferrara, drove them off the field, destroyed their works, and pursued thefts as far as Bologna, near 30 miles from the field of battle. It was on this occasion that MURAT himself was reportld to have been wounded. The Neapolitans now drew in their troops from Reggio and Modena ; General BIANCHI entered the latter place on the 11th ; and late reports state that the Austrian bead-quarters had been established at Bologna, aad the advance pushed to Forli, about 40 miles further, and within the same distance from Rimini, so that it should seem Muacr . had nearly returned to the point from which he started, with little accession to his military fame, and none to his rlitical influence. Last night we received Paris Papers of the 28th ultimo, trom which we have given extracts in the, preceding columns. A letter in these papers,' dated Bologna, the 16th ultimo, confirms completely the substance of the above accounts from Italy. The arrival of King Joachim had been announced for the next d y, but it seems " there had been a great movement throughout the whole line, which from being too much extended was not sufficiently strong on the points exposed to attack." In other words the temerity of this invader had been punished and his plans deranged by the Austrian Generals. This morning we received another day's Paris Papers, those of Saturday last. The M.niieur states, that BONAPA Rix was so much % occupied with busi ness, that he would not be able to set off for the army before the 2d of May (this day). The same Paper announces, that the strong places in France are not to be garrisoned by the army, but left to the care of the National Guards and the Citizens—a pretty plain indication of want of regular troops. The private letters are more interesting at this moment than the printed Journals. According to the former the price of provisions has advanced much in Paris •since the departure of the KlNG—bread to double price ; and many families are quitting the capital. The National Guards in many places still call out Vive k Rai. The National Guards of Amiens have even published an Address to their brethren in other parts, declaring they will not fight for BONA. , PARTS. " The army," they say, “ brought back this vile exile. Let the army-defend him. As to us, cur rallying cry is Vice k Rol—Mors as ryrax ! " They aid, that if Sugar/Am comes to attempt to organise them in the service of rebellion, he 'ball find his chastisement within their walls. Other private as state, that tber • have been serious commotion: 'at blots, and that between 40 and 50 lives were lost on the occasion. 'rhe domineering spirit of the army excites much disgust. At Bourdeaux there was lately a duel in consequence of a young Gentleman refusing to cry out Pins rEmporigr, when so commanded by an Officer. The latter was killed. The Motisteur of Saturday contains a long article purporting to be the information of a traveller who left Vienna on the 20th. The substance of this la-' bound tissue of falsehood and invective is as follows : The Poles are discontented ; the Russians manifest great repugnance to an unjust and distant war; no Austrian troops were as yet in motion. except for Italy ; the Bavarians, Wurtemburghers, and Ba. donna, are in full march, but both men and officers grumbly, sad say that the debasement of France will be the absolute ruin of the'r own independence ; 114( Prussian troops are also matching, but the pubil opinion is muck divided at Berlin. The King of Salnny refuses to consent to the partition ofhis Stat s, and the Saxons and Prussians are daily qu knelling -The war is considered at Vienna as hostile to the true interests of Austria. The interest excited by the young French Prince (alias the King of Rome) in creases daily : he is obliged to exhibit himself thrice a day at the palace windows. Prince E L"G 6N BEA 1.7- HARNOIS is at Bayreuth in a state of inactivity. It is not thought that more than 350,000 of the allied troops, notwithstanding all their boasting, will be ready to act by the end of July. The following are extracts from the Papers received this morning $ PARIS, APRIL se. We are assured that the Emperor will not set out to visit the Northern frontiers until the 2J of May, and that he will be absent fifteen days. COURIER EXTRAORDINARY OF SATURDAY MORNING. The Count de Lille has, it is said, appointed the Duke of Feltre Marshal of France. The Duc de Belluno has been charged with a mission from the Count Ale Lille to the Emperor Alexander. The Marshal Duke of Albufera arrived on the 20th instant at Nisines to review the garrison and the National Guard. It is said, that before his departure from Naples, Joachim appointed the Queen Regent, and dimi nished all the imposts one third. Lieutenant• General Vandamme has arrived at Mezieres, where he Ins taken the command of the forces which are collected on that part of the frontiers. TILEGRAPHIC DISPATCH. " Metz, April 27, In the Morning. " The Prefect of the Moselle to the Minister of General Police : , 4 The King of Prussia has ordered, by a Procla mation, the inhabitants of the right Bank of the Mo selle, which is ceded to him by Treaty, to take the oath of fidelity to him. A Proclamation issued by the Austrian Commission at Crentznach, forbids obedience to that of the King of Prussia.—We are assured, that the Dutch are relieving the Prussians at Luxembourg." The fortresses of Rocroy and Phillipville are armed and provisioned with great activity. The corps d'armed of Lieutenant-General Gerard, which is upon the Sane and Moselle, receives large reinforce ments daily. AU the roads are covered with troops, Who burn to defend our independence. The frontier departments are armed with numerous battalions. France proves by her attitude that she is not disposed to receive the law from any one. General Count Sebastiani has been charged by the Emperor with the organization of the National Guards of the Departments cf.the North, the Pas-de-Calais, the Somme, and the Aisne.

VENICE, APRIL 11. We have certain intelligence that Field Marshal Baron Mehr, stationed at Ochio Bello, received yes terday a dispatch from Lord Bentiock, which con tains the Declaration of War of England against the King of Naples. This declaration was sent by a flag of truce to the enemies advanced posts. ZURICH, APRIL 17. Chevalier Rauzer, Secretary of the French Lega tion, has set out to return to France. It h said that the four Swiss regiments which are in France are composed of 2,500 men and 240 officers. The President of the Diet has made a report of the unexpected appearance of Lucien Bonaparte, Prince of Canino, at Prangins : he wished to reside with the Apostolic Nuncio at Lucerne, but be has since quitted the Swiss territory. On the report of the Diplomatic Commission, the police regulation concerning ►he French couriers des tined for Germany, and which were to traverse Swit zerland, has been completed. They must present themselves to exhibit their passports to the Ministers residing in Switzerland from the country for which they are destined. CALMS, APRIL 2S. There is no change in our communications with England. Yesterday arrived an English vessel laden with sugar, coffee, and cotton. The news from England is very variable; the journals appear to be warlike, and yet the English merchants write that cargoes may be sent them with perfect safety, and that they can insure those which they send. • LILLE, APRIL. CS. The.organization of the National Guards goes on with great activity. In a few days the lit battalion of grenadiers of the City of Line will be entirely or ganized. The Prefect of the Department of the North, Baron Dupont Delporte, has addressed a circular to the Snb.Prefects and Mayors, in which he says: " Gentlemen, the Emperor considers it as the first of his duties to procure an honourable peace to France, but if the enemies of the country force his tlajesty to tike up arms, he wishes that his armi s hould see him stur-und , ..d by the brave men w 1 () 'mounded him at I.utzt.n, Bautzen, /vlonte:e..o, Montmirad, and Champ Aubtrt." According to instructions given by the General-in. Chief Sebastiani to the iVfareclial de Camp liernig, it is intended that the fortified towns shott4l be de fended in preference by the Citizen 7, who 'rill form part of the contingent put in m0ti , ..1 : thus the for. tress of Lille will be given in preference to the Citi. zees of that City and the environs who shill be pined in full activity. The same system will be acted upon with respect to the other places in the North, by giving them always as their garrison, in the first place, the National Guards of the places themselves, and afterwards of those nearest the points where ary will have to serve. We are authorised to make this information public. FROM THE MONITEUR. P 2119, April 27. The Emperor went today, at two o'clock, to the Polytechnic School; he was not expected, And many of the scholars were absent, it being a liol.day. His Majesty manceurred those who were present, accorn. panied by the Governor and Professor Hassenfratz.

DUKE or BEDFORD.—Wc have great satisfaction in stating, that a Gentleman is arrived in town from Italy, who saw an Aid-de Camp of the King of Naples on the 12th of April, and receiv e d from himat Bologna, on t tat the Duke of BEDFORD WAS unhurt in the attack made on his equipage by Banditti. This Offictr was with his Grace at the time, and neither of them were wounded. Some of his servants were hurt. and two of the postilions killed, as well as ill,: eAcort. This was communicated to the Marquis of TAVISTCCK yesterday, by au Ho nourable Baronet who received the information. The Duke proceeded, after the dangerous interruption, to Naples, where he arrived in safety. Notwithstanding the above favourablz account we are sorry to find the following pi:ssage in the Ca. nate de France of Friday—time alone can remove the painful apprehensions which the French statements are calculated to produce :- 44 It is confirmed that the Duke of BEDFORD. going to rejoin his family a t • Naples, has been attacked by. eighteen brigands in Istria, and i , auassiaated, as well as — lais escoso
