• ' 1 T 4 MANIFESTO of the EMPEROR if RUSSIA We. ST. PETERSBURGH, JUNE 17b The following is the Manifesto published by his 'lmperial Majesty from Vienna : • 4 g The sense of Religion, that rich source of na tional strength which has prevailed in Russia since the oldest times, vanquished, in the face of the Whole world, and for the deliverance of Europe, the de structive infidelity—the mischief-working corrugtinn of morals—the sad deviation from the right path to which the hum-in understanding is subject. 46 This never-to-be-forgotten conquest and triumph,, to which-history furnishes no parallel, must, in jus tit% be ascribed to the generous sacrifices and heroic deeds by which the faithful spns of our country have testified their love and devotion. It united all Euro pean nations in indissoluble bonds, and harmonized all their views and prejudiees, ich till then had been at variance, by directing them to the only use ful object, a Desired and durable Peace, which might be firmly established in the legal advantages gr4nted to each Power, and on internal institutions protecting the welfare and independence of nations. " With heartfelt joy we now announce to our be loved subjects, that all conventigns tending to the good of the State have been concluded, to confor. mity with this principle, and the object whirl we propose. " it is not a vain covetnusaess which bas induced us to seek an extension of our frontiers—such a feel ing would have been unnatural in one who bad taken arms to defend the country, but not to make con quests. The unconquerable strength of the Russian Empire, founded upon religion, loyalty, and pros. polity, cannot be increased by external acquisitions. The union of the far greater part of the late Duchy of Warsaw under one sceptre, has proved to be ab solutely necessary for the establishment of a general balance of power and of order in Europe. By this measure, the safety of our frontiers is insured—a firm barrier is erected against interruption of peace and hostile attempts—and the bonds of fraternity formed between nations, united together by one com won origin. " For this reason we have thought proper to fix the late of this country, and to establish the internal administration upon principles suitable to the lan guage and customs of the inhabitants, and adapted to their local situation. Following the precepts of the Christian religion, whose dominion extends over so many nations, yet maintains at the save time their distinguishing qualities and customs—we cherish the, wish while we prepare tile welfare of our new subjects, to inspire their hearts with sentiments of attachment to our throne, and thps to efface for ever the traces of past misfortunes, which were.caused by fatal dis union, and the long struggle. • 44 But at the mcment when we thought of return= irg to oar happy country, and of enjoying . the peace earned by such ratan% cares, a new war is kindled, pre-ordained by the impenetrable councils of the AL- ItiGHTY. His kind providence, which rules over us, which changes even evil into good, permitted tbi re bellions spirit that was concealed in France, to burst forth, just at the time when the Sovereigns and peOpie, in a state of powerful preparation, were watchful ; t h 4t .by thei r masked power, wickedness may be wholly. eztirpated, the harvest cleared from the weeds, and the precious fruit of inviolable peace flourish giliobg the Powers, who observe the laws of the Militias T faith and truth. gg Russia also, elevated by religion, is called upon to take arms ; and, attentive to this call, again enters the career of glory. The perfidious plan of Napoleon Bonaparte—the treachery which has favoured his au dacious enterprize—the rapidity of his pernicious progress, aiming at the overthrow of society, of re ligion, and of law; all these reasons forbid the Au. thorities established by the Rulers of Empires to re cognise in the midst of general order, a Government which k founded on breach of faith and violence.— For this reason, all the Powers again form an indis soluble union, in eider to annihilate the tyrannic Power which has made itself master of France s and thereby to prevent fresh miseries. Not only the en- gagements of friendship, but also the honour of the Empire call upon us to defend the rightful cause; it cannot be foreign to Russia, which, from time imme morial, has combated for religion and fidelity. In obedience to this sacred voice, we go, with the help of the MOST HlOli t to new deeds. The fruit of such great and glorious victories will not be lost. , s Resolved to share every danger and privation 'with our victorious army, we place our firm confi dence in the LORD of Hosv, in the Pturrecrott of the 'Um It is, indeed, painful to our heart to prolong our absence from the country, but we .firmly trust in the Divine favour, which every where protects us, that this absence will be of short duration. gg The attachment and devotion of all the authori ties in the Empire, animated by only one feeling and the valour of our troops, will crown the work which we have before us with the desired success. All the European P9wers will - act in concert with us. gc In the days of danger and of glary, when e the raging enemy, who had penetrated over our frontiers, thought in his infatuation to strike a deadly blow twinst Russia—when Europe, subject to hisitolte. ,rase against us—pe invoked the Aunt:lnm and 11/3* 11ored him to ttnt his eye on the Church in mourn mg, to deliver his inheritance, and endow us with strength to triumph' over wickedness and deceit, to protect the independence of Nations and their Rulers. The Mob? HIGH heard the voice of our prayers, his right hand guided Russia in the career of glory; no, we will not deviate from it, and his gracious "care for pa will be cornpletedt"'. The Frankfort Paper, called, the Rettrtllo, contains the fillowing article from Dusseldorf, June 18: " A private letter, hot which appears to come (pm a very good source, contains some interesting information respecting the great plan for the organ*• zativn of the Pit:Wan Monarchy. We therefore lay this letter before our readers : " The Provisional Government will probably wee cease with you also. The Sing having gone to Berlin, chitfly to have the new plan of rganszation laid before and to put it in execution as fur as it is completed. The main plan is Already approved.

A party of gentlemen who retnrned to town yester day, from a visit to the scene of the late battles in Flanders, relate the following anecdotes': A British °Seer who was made prisoner in the battle - of the 16th, was brought before Bonaparte for examination. Being asked by Bonap arte 41 Who corn issands the cavalry ?" he ans wered .Lord'Uxbridge, 44 Not Paget," replied Bonapiirte.- The officer then explained that they meant the same person, and Bo naparte nodded assent. He was died asked, 4 4 Who mounded in Chief r' and was answered the Duke of Wellington; upon which beobseried, ' 4 4 No, that. • csnnothe, for he as rick." It seems that his Grace bad•received a fall from his horse, on the 14th, and, was repoited to he indisposed in consequence, and Univac,* had receiveliptelligence to that elK•et.. - ; The convicsation :continued in this , line for a consi derable time, during which Bonaparte :hewed himself peeled? **OA ela strength arld . pniltionsof the seiretaliliSisions of the Allied Armies, and the, names of their several commanders. As they wete succeseively mentioned, Bonaparte occasionally re-' marked, 4 , Oh 1 yes, that division cannot be up in time."—" This division cannot 4* up Au a der,' • and, so on. Among his papers taken after the battle of Water loo,. was a fist. of 80 inhabitants . of Brussels, whose .persons And property were to be respected by . the. French army on its entrance into that city. Amon* Agee was a Flemish Nobleman, who hau prepared .splendid supper for Bonaparte on the 18th. Of the remainder, several had prepareii-entertainnlnts on the scene day fur his principal O ffi cers. Of this junta, ilte Nobleman, who was to have been Bonaperte's 'host, ha:. dud. The others remained at Brussels . on -Saturday last, apparently without fear, although it is well - known that the Kiog 01 the Netherlands is in p' session of the list. lt is also cgrtahi that several Proclamations were found anions the papers of Bo: naparte, addressed from Brntels, Lecken, &c. all . prepared in confident exwctation of his success the 18th. the eaptuie ot Brussels, and his irruption 'into Flanders and Holland.

Shortly after the dis covery of the mistake, a coach maker came up, and said he could point out a secret drawer, which might contain aomethi of value. He immediately disco. vend abox -irs. ito containing a very large sum in gold. , Of the attachment of his followers to Bonaparte, the followirig anecdotes' ire cited as proofs founde.i on fact : A favourite Mameluke, who was taken prisoner on the 18th, having heard of his master's decisive defeat, exclaimed—u Then I shall never live to see his dawn. fall." With these words he opened his knife, nni cut out his eyes. A French soldier , who ha d jirt suffered the amputation of an arm, actuated by a like spirit, requested that the limb should be given to him kyi,hen taking it in his remaining hand, es i brand bin; it round his head, he exclaimed, " Vi ti l'Emperear I Vive Bonaparte 1" It is a fact, that at two o'clock on the ISli, it was reported, and confidently believed at the Hague, Antwerp, Brussels, and many other places in Flan. ders and Holland, that the Allies had been con. pletely defeated, and Bonaparte had obtained a deci. sive victory. This was done simultaneously by pre. violas concert with - his spies and secret agents, for the purpose of improving any advantage which he might Dy the same agency, the road to Brussel: morn the,field of battle was, during the action of the 18th, intercepted by waggons , and other lumber and eurebtance; so that, Fad our army been defected, and obliged to retreat, it must have left all its hie . ne - dk ,beavy.artillery behind, the road having n thus rendered almost impracticable. La Belle -Alliance, the little place from which, with a silly and unmeaning conceit, some of the Papers would deno. minate the grand battle of 'the lath, consists of not none than three or • four wretched homes, one of which is nearly destroyed by the cannon-shot. The plain of Waterloo is a mani fi cent scene , and a prize- Ifighting ground worthy o f-such a battle. The position of the French was woody, that of the Allies chiefly covered with grain. Rye was the pre. railing species. It grows so high, that a Scotch re. giment, in advancing through 4 field of it on Cie 16th, was nearly cut to pieces without seeing an enemy. The French-observed its approach by the tips of i.s muskets shining in . the corn, and took aim ac. cordfngly, while on .troops could on) , fire at random. All accounts agree in the great advantage that the Fiench cuirassiers derived from their armour. Tht;r swords were three inches longer than any used by Allies, and inclose action the cu s of our sabres did no excetstion,•eicept they fortunately came across t!-.2 neck of 'the enemy. The latter also, feeling then,. selves :mare in their armour, advanced deliberately and steadily until they came within ab'iut twenty yardi of our ranks,_ as a musket-hail could net penc. trate their cuirasses= agreater distance. The cuirass: Teri was• attended with' one disadvaut ige ; the in close action, cannot use Ws ern, widi per. facility.in all directions; he chiefly doubts, L.:: cut with ease. &cad being vary deep in many part:. a; the the troops presented a frightful appearat.c..., par. tindery 'the bile Guards, from the splaahi,:g of tilt increased by titre weight of their ho. .es, co* asarcely dare to look at them.

With every possible diligence and care that ce used, many of the wounded lay two days up-il I of battle before their wounds were dressed Could be removed. The preference was, • given to our own-gallant heroes, and a pc remptory order was issued tothat effect. Many day: the !mule the field ,of. Waterloo continued to great numbers of poor persons, particularly males, seeking for plunder. Every rag searched, expectation it could produce gold or silver, lace or •ey. Among -the most common spoils were the , worn on the fronts of the caps of some of tta french regiments. These, when broken off, were Brussels for about two francs each. Among reach killed and wounded, were observed an im tnense, number of letters from friends, relatives, and lovers, who have to lame= their loss. The number of deaths in the hospitals at Brus.4., was last week estimated at about thisty a day. • There were only two bowies in Brussels where they refused to receive wounded British Officers. The fact was represented to the proper authorities, and fifteen woundedeßldieri were immediately billetted on each, with an injunction to see them properly treated anti taken care of."
