Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday have arrived. rheir contents tend to confirm the opinion we have more than once hazarded, that BONAPARTE is afraid to quit Paris. He was still in Paris on• Monday. It announced that the works have commenced for the defence of the capital.; 600 men are employed; their number is to be augmented to 10,000 ; and, for their farther consolation, the Parisians have been in. formed that means have been adopted for laying part of the neighbourhood under water, should the o cmy dare to approach. The good people have other cordials of the same kind administered through the medium of the Miniters : they are told of 500,000 veteran soldiers and 30,000 officers, all armed for the defence of the country, besides new levies, Na tion.d Guards, Ix. All this must be very satisfactOry; and it would he highly unreasonable no doubt to in quire who had made all this necessary ? but such questions are asked, and, even among a people pro verbial for levity, they prodUce shrugs of evil fore boding., which cannot but distress the good men who r.. au govern France and seek only her safety and peace. To add to BONAPARTE'S distress, it can no longer be disguised, even in the Paris Papers, that the affairs of King Joitentss are in a most ruinous state. Let ters ache 25th April, from Milan, speak of the great disorganization of his army. In short, we consider it as ruined; and what adds to the general distress, 1.; the unriaronablasess of the Anstkiank in refusing to treat for an armistice ! I The miserable keeper of an old iron shop has been ire.s...nted to BOWAPARTIC, and made a Chevalier of Cie Legion of Honour, for delivering tsp a few rusty Eagles, which had been sold to him as old metal. Wre select the following extracts : PARIS. MAY e. His Majesty rode out on horseback this morning, accompanied solely by Counts Corbineas, Drouet, and Flahaut, his Aides-de-Camp. He rode along the Boulevards, and proceeded to the Faubourg St. Antoine to visit the new manufactory of arms esta blished there. He afterwards inspected the cotton factory of Richard Lenoir. The whole population of the streets through which his Majesty passed crowded around hint. It was a most imposing spec tacle to see our beloved Prince almost alone in the midst of bin loyal ssioatets. who prowed opus Ms liorse and kissed his garments. In going out his Majesty gallopped, but on returning he was obliged to walk his horse, in consequence of the crowd. PARIS, MAY 7. trim.' THE MOM I taro.] his Majesty today had a grand parade, which began after mass, and which was not over until five o'clock. The EMperor reviewed the third division of the army of reserve, a division of the young guard, three divisions of infantry, and two divisions of cava!ry of the Old guard. These troops wore al- most all old soldiers, the youngest of whom had ide three campaigns. Every person Was struck with their beauty and the regularity of their ma- Ilft avres. They manifested an enthusiasm which was communicated to the crowd assembled. His Majesty :eturned to the Palace El'see at a quarter past five, and held a Council of Ministers Six hundred workmen are to-day at work on the heights of Montmartre : the number increases every day : it is said that the number will be raised to ten !liousand, as well upon that point as upon others from the Seine to the Marne. 1:::1 1 ;ineers think Chit it will be passible, if the hvar cf danger shoul..l arrive, to make inuastions ap:iich will cover the whole of the left of the line. In the visit Mach the Emperor paid yesterday to Fatbotag Saint Antoine, many inhabitants onlp:alned that its SIP:, day had been refused arms: t: is Emperor replied that he hoped that the foreigners would not break in upon the frontiers this year; btlt, :it all events, they should have 40,000 hadskeu at Pais, and a thousand attire of the line td arm And di: 4:d the populainn. The Malt measures have been taken at Lyons. The war with v.-hich we are threatetled will be a war against the independence of naions. The Allies wish to treat Frante as they have treated 3.12.0ny, Genoa, and the Kingdom of Italy ; Act they will find othei- obstatles add new men ;.H t!:eir intimations and their insidious proclamation:: are' -.1 longer in SMOG j they will no more succeed in disuniting us, than in kneArtering us ; thee will leiftn at their own expense What 28 millions of Frenchmen eau d), with five hundred thousand veterans, and+ Many thousand officers who have triuniphed in more than fifty battles. Certainly the French were never accused of a want of courage—they will not want arms and means of defence, with experienced °Ricers to direct them. COUSIER, EICTDAONDJNARY or SUNDAY MORNINU.

We learn from Milan, of the date of the 25th of April, that the Neapolitan army is in the greatest disorganization." MILAN, APRIL SS. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM FORLI, APRIL 2S. 44 The advanced guard of General Neipperg is, at this moment, on the Rimini road. The Neapolitans, commanded by the King and the General of Division Lecchi, made an effort to dispute with the Austrian troops the passage of the Ronco, two miles beyond Forli, but they were beaten, and Forlimpopeli was carried by assault. During the night an:Adjutant came from King Joachim with a view to conclude an armistice on the footing of his returning within his own kingilom. All intercourse was refined, and the Neapblitans retreated in great haste. Their comma. oication with Rome is cut off. 66 The Neapolitan army is in great disorder ; the armistice w►as a mete trick to enable hint to keep it together.". (In a Note, by the French Editor, to the above article, be cautions his reader 3 against being imposed upon, as, he says, it has been written under Austrian iiifluence.} Brussels Papers to the Sth have also arrived. The contents are intereiting, particularly the Proclamation of Lours XVIII. is which he announces that, the Allies having engaged not to interfere in the inurnal affairs of France, he now accepts the assistance of the Allies, to expel the author of the evils which now afflict France. Oar Readers will perceive that this acceptance of assistance has reference to the words of the Vienna Declaration. In a word, War is now announced as being ultimately resolved on by the Apish and we mar soon expect to hear of hossil:sic& DECLARATION. " GUINT, MAT 3. " Loots by the Grace of GOD, King of Trance and Navarre. " To all our Subjects greeting, • " France, free And respected, was enjoying, by our care, the peace and prosperity which had been restored to it, when the escape of Napoleon Bona parte from the Island of Elba, and his appearance on the French territory, seduced to revolt we greatest part of the army. Supported by this illegal force, he has made usurpation and tyranny succeed to the equitable empire of the laws. 66 The efforts and the indignation of our subjects, the Majesty of the Throne, and that of the National representation, have yielded to the violence of a mu tinous soldiery whum treacherous and perjured leaders hive seduced by deceitful hopes. 4. This criminal success having excited in Europe just alarms, formidable armies have been put in march towards France, and all the Powers have de creed the destruction of the Tyrant. is Our first. care, as our first duty has been to cause a just and necessary distinction to be recognised be tween the disturber of the peace and the oppressed French nation. " Faithful to the principles which have always guided them, the Sovereigns, our Allies, have de clared their intention to respect the independence of France, and to guarantee the integrity of its territory. They have given us the most solemn assurances that they will not interfere in the internal government, and it is on these conditions that we have resolved to accept their genermis assistance. ig The Usurper has in vain attempted to sow dis sensions among them, and by a feigned moderation to disarm their just resentment. His whole life hasl for ever deprived him of the power of imposing , upon good faith. Despairing of the success of his, artifices, he seeks, for the second time, to precipitate with himself into the abyss, the nation over which he causes terror to reign. Lie renews all the depart ments of administration, in order to fill them wholly with men Sold to his tyrannical projects ; he disor-' ganizes the National Guard, whose blood he intends' to lavish In a sacrilegious war; he feigns to abolish rights which have been long since abolished ; he con vokes a pretended Firid 9f May to multiply the ac complices of his usurpation ; he promises so proclaim there, in the midst of bayonets, a derisory imitation of that Constitution which, after Its years of disor ders and calamities, had for the first time founded on a solid basis the liberty and the happiness of France. " Finally, he has consummated the greatest of all crimes towards our subjects, by attempting to sepa • • • • • ' rate theta from their sovereign— . to tear theta twat from our family, who se ex i stence , w hi c h for so many ages his been identified with that of the nation 'itself, is still at this. moment the only 'thing that can g”- rantzethe stability of r'he legitimacy of the govern ment, the rights and the )iberty of the people—the l mutual interests of France and or Europe. 66 In these circumstances we rely with entire coa fidence on the ientimenti of our subjects, who cannot fail to perceive the dangers and the miseries to which they are exPoied by a man whom assembled Europe ha's dekoted to public vengeance. All the Poviers know the dispositions of France. We are assured of their amicable views and of their sup Port. 4 . .

The marriage is settled between the Duke of DD. YONEIJIRE and Miss MERCER, daughter of Lord Kura. It is to take place next week. The Marquis of Tavdsrocx has had the most sa tisfactory letters from the Duke of BEDFORD, respect ing his own personal safety, although it is perfectly true that the four gens d'armes and two postilions were put to death by the banditti, to prevent, as it is supposed, their pursuit and detection. Yesterday a gentleman of the name of WHEELER, was thrown from his horse at Highgate, and killed on the spot. Green peas sold yesterday in Covent-garden mar- 1 ket at 325. the peck. Yesterday, at the Crown and Anchor, there was a full attendance of the Subscribers to deliberate upon the propriety of letting Drury-lane Theatre: After a long discussion, the proposition was put to the vote, and negatived by a large majority. Three names were given in as willing to undertake the manage. mein on the resignation of the present Sub-Commit tee, viz. Lord BYRON, Mr. KINNAFED, and Mr. MOORE ; and it was understood two more names would be furnished on the earliest opportunity. In a letter received in town from Ostend, it states, that on the evening of Tuesday, 2d instant, the Life Guaids arrived there in several sloops from Rams pate; when on their coming to anchor a debarkation immediately took place of men and horses, and finished soon after day-light the following morning, under the able direction of Captain HILL, of the Royal Navy, that both men and horse were all landed in safety, and at nine o'clock a. vs. not a vestige of the regiment or baggage was seen, all were gone up the country; that soon after they had marched off, the Blues and Inniskillings arrived there. ' Extract of a Letter front Ciudad Rodrigo, of the 22d of April, 1815:—µ Under date of the 12th inst. they write from Santona, that the French have established on the Bidasoa a line of 10,000 men, who are in daily expectation of having Ncy at their head. Two thousand of the Imperial Guards have entered Bayonne. It appears that Ferdinand the Beloved is quite thunderstruck with the arrival of Bonaparte, and knows not what to do. It it. said the Court is to be removed to Seville. The pretensions of Charles IV. had created great ferment in the mind of the young Prince and his people, which has been partly allayed by the pension treaty just made. This has been printed in great numbers, and is hawked all over the country. War is tie. general subject of conversation, and the British Minister is not asleep, but not a shilling is to be had any where. A Council of State has been held, in which it was proposed to mortgage the property of the Grandees for the war supplies, and even to seise the church property, but ()stolen called this heresy, and the King ordered it should never be again mentioned." tHE Altifir The 2d battalion, 15th Foot, has arrived at Guernsey ! • The 9th Light lirtip,nons have been ordered fror Jrrf Ireland to this country, and ,ate to be stationed in Manchester and its neighhourhond. . .

A fen , evenings since, a melancholy accident oc curred off Rye Harbour. A boat had left Hastings, in which were five men, for the opposite coast; they had scarcelyieft the Roads, when the wind c!;angirg, they were driven towards the harbour of itye, where, after beating about for some time, the boat upset, :iptt the whole of its crew were consigned to a watery gr.tve. They have left large families to deplore their Loss. For several years there has not been a more afflict. ing scene of distress than what now exists at the villages of Runswick and Staithes, in the parish of Hinderwell, near Whitby. By the tremendous storm of F r iday, April 14, about one-third of the fishermen of Runswick have been drowned. Three fishing-boats belonging to that place, with their crews, twenty-one in number, have fallen victims to the raging tempest —twelve poor wome3 have lost their husbands ; two widows have lost their sons, who were their only support ; and thirtyosiz children have become father less, and bereft of all means of subsistence. Also one fishing-boat belonging to Staithes, entirely new, has been totally lost, with eight persons on board, by which four widows and twelve children are lett destitute. S
