We have received the Paris Papers of Wednevlay, uith the exception of the Official Journal, which of Lourse had not been puhlished in time. I t a prears pretty plainly, from what these papers ;.ei.p back as well as from what they state, that Paris ;s tar frim tranquil. In fact the conduct of the dis contented has been such as to induce the Pruissians ; gain to plant upon the bridges the cannon which for some time been removed. The, have also 2 3 pted another precaution for the peace and safety t f the City—that of apprehending all straggling sol e.ets who come to Paris from the French armies, and se-!mg them off to more tranquil quarters beyond the. We do not observe in these papers any intimation f :1:e arrest of any of the persons named in the Or d:nances of the KING. .The Government seems to act towards them as if they merited only contempt, or as if afraid to bring them to punishment. If the 1-q!er, it is not difficult to foresee the miseries which y, ;rice and Europe must yet suffer before the peace cf Europe be established on firma bases. M. MURAT, the ei-devant King of Naples, is re rred to have embarked on board an English vessel at Toulon. If so, we shall probably soon have a new sight for those who are fond of novelties. These Journals announce one very important fact. recruiting for the King's army is confined to the l'e; , artrnents of the West and the Gironde. From this we are led to infer that it is intended to create an army of real loyalists ; and to get rid of the sol diers If BONAPARTE as quickly as circumstances may permit. A division of the British army has alteady reached Rouen from the vicinity of Paris. PARIS, AUGUST t'rd Castlereagh had yesterday an interview with the King, which lasted upwards of an hour. The Duke d'Angouleme was still at Toulouse on the 37th July. Tie King signed the marriage contract between the Duke d'Otranto and Mademoiselle de Castell,ine 5n Sunday. This day they will receive the marriage **Nog in the Church of l'Abbaye-aux-Bois. The cavalry of the King's Royal Guard will he composed of five regiments : one of heavy cavalry, Dale of dragoons, one of chasseurs, one of hussars, and one °flamers& They will be commandey by the fol lowing Lieutenant-Generals, viz. Charles.de-Dam:tl, Buck-Souk, de Lagrange, Lauriston, and Digeon. Amongit the English Nobility now at Paris, 'here are the Marquis of Camden and his son, Br, ck neck, the Duke of Devonshire, and Laid Ltveson Gower. On all sides, on the quays, at the ends of the bridges, ald in all open spaces well aired, they are construct• irg barracks for the allied troops. To-day every tiiing relating to them will be finished; and in a few days the inhabitants of Paris will be free from all mi litary lodgers. It is said that a corps of the Austrian army has roe to the environs of Lyons, in Auvergne, to pursue the partizans who had withdrawn to that pro.. Vince. They write from Dijon, that the Austrian camp sthich had been established in its environs was, raised on the 27th July; that a part of the troops which occupied it have set out, and there are not at present more than three or four thousand troops as a guard in the town. A contribution of four millions has been levied nn the department of the Sarthe. In the departments of the Chet and the Loire, the Allies have issued several arrests. These measures have only taken place whete the parties are signa lised by the effervescence and eaweration of their political opinions. We hear that there were several disturbances at Mans the day before yesterday. The town of Pont-Saint-Esprit had not submitted to the King on the 25th July. The Counts de Vogue and de Valalien, Sub-P.-efect of Uzes, set out for this town to treat with the Commander of St. Esprit. The Army of the Loire seems to direct itself Inwards the mountains of Auvergne,• to which place a great part of its baggage and artillery has gone. They write from Dijon that fifteen of the most dangerous individuals are imprisoned in their own l 'uses, each with a guard of 20 soldiers at three franc s per day, and an officer at five francs. The marriage of a Son of France with the Princess L"Doldine, Archduchess of Austria, is more than ever sp( •ken of. The Duke de Richelieu will shortly set out for Russia. None of the Allied troops are now at Orleans : the Prussians quitted it on the 2ftth of July, in two di. •'sions, one of whom marched upon Tours by and the other towards Normandy, by the Chanr4in. The Royal Army which is forming, and for which tilt recruiting is almost entirely confined to the West, Ills op almost as last as the ti-dievang Impala Army is 37torganisted i _while the latter is dissolved by de letion, the former punishes desertion with death. Marshal Sachet was still at Itoanne on Saturday morning. He had with him somvthing like seven or eight battalions, and a fair - proportion of artillery. The greatest quietness prevails at Odeon : the French soldiers walk the streets indiscriminately with those of the Allied armies. All parties conduct themselves. well. The same ohs: rvation applies to Lyons, where the Austrians and the inhabitants are on the most friendly terms. M. Duperre, Ma-itime Prefect of Toulon, has been d to Pais to give some explanations re. specting the conduct of the marine service of that pint. lit the night between the 25th and 26th of July, a conspiracy was discovered at Poitiers, planned by a Colonel of Infantry. The object was to seize the public chests and two Generals; this project was discovered, and the Colonel and soldiers, his asso ciates, were arrested. They were taken before the Prince of Eckmohl. A Convention has been agreed tipon between the garrison of Vitry-le-Francois and the Russian troops, by virtue of which the artillery of the ramparts has been withdrawn, without which possession of the town ‘vould have been taken by the Allies. This is a sort of indefinite armistice. Throughout where the Russian troops are, there is moderation, justice, and loyalty. M. Be llart, who set out for London at the epoch of the 20th March, anti who, since that time, had not quitted that city, arrived at Paris some days since. This morning the Police Officers stationed on the Qnai Voltaire summoned all the persons with deco rations to appear betore the Prussian Commander, at the Hotel de la Buffe. This officer made known to them an order of the day, by which every Chevalier of any Order must be constantly ready to produce his title or brevet. It is added, that the Prussians have resolved to con sider as prisoners of war all French soldiers of what soever rank, who shall be found at Paris without spe cial licence, and to transport them across the Rhine. A legion, bearing the name of Maria 1 hertra (the Duchess d'Angouleme) is formed in the department of the Gironde. It consists of 1200 infantry and 500 horse, with a company of artillery. By orders from Baron de Muffling, all soldiers of the Allied troops found rambling in the streets at night. will be arrested by the patroles of the National Guards. Some more Russian troops arrived yesterday in the environs of Paris. Seven hundred of these are can toned at La Villette. Yesterday morning cannon were planted by the Prussian troops at the south end of Pont Notre Dame and Pont du Jardin du Roi : it is absolutely neces sary to arrest and punish all agitators and disturbers of die public peace. There are daily tumultuous as semblage' of idle peisons who insult the allied troops. As the tnglish laws punish with death alt Lighting. with deadly weapons, a boxing-match is therefore not an untiegnent scene in the English camp, and great crowds are of emirs , . attracted. MARIE.II.I.EI, JULY 26. We are assared•th it the Ex-king Murat has quitted the environs of Toulqn in an English vessel, and with passports from the English Generals. We suppose that, after the example of his brother-in-law, he will ,retire into Great Britain. IS WAS only in the m mninq of the day before yes terday that the town of Toulon capitulated : the National Guuds and free companies of Marseilles entered at six o'clock the same evening. The Eng lish who accompanied these troops have returned here. We are assured that none of them entered Toulon. ROUEN, JULY 31. • We are just informed that our department is allot ted as one of the cantonments of the British Army- A brigade of cavalry and a company of horse artil lery will arrive at Rouen on the 2d of August next, on the 3d a similar divi.inn will proceed to'Neuf thatch Our fellow-citizens will learn with pleasure that their department has the advantage of being set apirt for troops who are every where distinguished by the most severe discipline and the most perfect Love of good order. A Flanders Mail arrived this morning. The Brus sels, And other Continental Papers brought by it, are full of interesting intelligence. We have %fleeted the two most prominent articles : —One of these is the formal demand made • by the Prussian Commissary RJUBESTIIOP, of a contribution from the City of Paris. He therein details •the infamous extortions committed on Prussia from the years 1806 to 1812, and no honest man can withhold his applause from the firm, courageous, and manly language in which France is required to come forward, not with repay. ment of all that her infamous Government has ex torteJ, for that would be impossible, but with a com. paratively trifling sum towards hearing the expellees of the present war, which, as the honest Commissary truly says, was waged by Europe for the salvation of France herself. We shill regret if any misplaced magnanimity is to be interposed to counteract this just Ittribution.— We see the name of Count DAM!, the French In tenJant-Generid of Prnssia, honourably Mentioned in this remonstrant:. Now that Paris is under mi tary law, what objection can there be to a party of Prussian soldiers seizing this avaricious task-ina“Pr, and placing him upon clean straw in a guard-room, Until he disgorges every denier of which he has per sonally roblied Prussia • One or two such wholesome exampLe—Monsieur Fnucuu hima-11 nor excepted—would relieve a great many innocent and honourable iniaabitants of France from their dram of the contribution. BONAPARTE. and all the miscreants who fattened and became rich by his sYstem of robbery and assassination, ought to be treated in the same way : indeed, Europe wal be safe, go long as these wretches possess the means o seducing the French army, or any part of it, by bribery and corruption. • alprep9: of Count DARR.--It was his business to remit iron Berlin to the place selected by the Prus. sian it,.yal Family for their retreat (we believe ICo nigsbcrg) the quarterly allowance which BONAPARTE was pleased to make them nut of their own revenues. The tearer: of this pittance were regular& robbed on the road 41's- each Dragoon: I A few interrogatories to Count Dartu on this subject would not be misplaced. The BruNsels Papers also contain another spirited article on the subject of the pictures and other monu ments of which the Netherlands have been robbed by the French. Most sincerely do we hope that the Belgian army will not quit Paris without these tro phies. On this subject the Brussels Papers very justly ob;erve " All the Works 'of Art, carried from Prussia by the French, have been demanded at Paris by Prince &mum, and this just restitution of valuable articles, seized by force of arms, begins to be carried into effect. Why should not 'the Belgians have the same rights ? Why should the muter-pieces of the Flemish School, taken from Ghent, Antwerp, and other cities, not be restored to us ? The plates of the magnificent maps of Ferrari are still in the archives of the War Department at Paris, as well as the plans of Luxembourg. Wezel, Ments, and other fortresses : all this ought to be restored ; the conquerors are well entitled to lake back from the conquered what the latter have obtained by an abuse of victory." AIX-LA CHAPELLE, JULY 28. The Official Gazette of this city contains the fol lowing Letter to the Prefect of the Department of the Seine : " PARIS, JULT C, F 9:.: . " SIR—Yr.. agreeable Letter of the 9th, whici, have had the honour to receive this morning, has been sent in the original as you desire to his High ness Prince Blucher, of Wahlstadt. " After the reiterated orders which I have received for the raising of the contribution imposed by this Prince on the city of Paris, it is not long in my power to avoid those coercive measures which are iei.deica necessary by tne tergiversations employed to elude my propositions. At the rvcript of this letter, you and several of the inhabitants of Paris, ate placed as hostages under a military guard. and if we do not receive this very day a part of the con tribution in question, you, as well as the ether hos tages, will be conveyed to the fortress of Graudinz, in Weq Prussi:t. 4$ This measure has been dictated to me by the Commarn;er in ChieC You and your fellow-citizens cannot tax it with injustice, when I remind you of the overtures which I have several times made you re specting the demands of Prince Blucher. '• You know that in 1806, 1807, and 1808, Prus sia, under the administration of Mr. Daru, not only lost its prosperity, but was ruined by the enormous mass of requisitions and extortions to which it was subjected : you know what was done in 1809, 1810,1 and 1811,, to exhaust the kingdom ; nor can I dis• semble that in 1812, though then in alliance with France, several of our Provinces suffered treatment of which the most cruel enemy would hardly have been guilty. It was in 1813 that we shook off the yoke of tyranny : the victorious arms of the Allies delivered France from a dynasty under which that fine country had groaned for so many years. 64 The tncoaeeivable efforts which Prussia made to support the great contest, after six years of oppres sion, signalised by all kinds of extortion and arbitrary treatment, put it out of our power to make a suitable provision for the equipment, the pay, and other wants of the armies again called forth to combat Bonaparte land his adherents. France, now delivered, cannot refuse its gratitude to the conquerors of the common enemy, when one reflects on the persevering courage and patience, in the midst of rumberless privations, which th, y have shewn during the most extraordinary l efforts ; but this gratitude must not consist, as in 1814, in empty words, but in deeds. Yon pretend that the contribution of 100 millions of francs exceeds the ability of your• city.—Ask Count Dam, what Berlin (a city of the quarter of the size of your's) was obliged to furnish ? and you will be convinced it greatly exceeds the demands of Prince Blucher from I the capital of France. 66 it we treated your prisoners as you did our's from 1806 to 1814 the contribution to be imposed 'according to that standard slight ex(yed your ability. But far from using reprisals, we have hitheito de. mantled only the teinibursement of the expenses of the war ; for the budgets of our financesyive no head for the exurbirtfit infpus;do:is levied in foreign coun tries, such as were found in die budgets of France, previous to the year 1814. Last year the conquest of Paris ended. the war. In this canirtign the conquest has been the object of our la4„•urs ; to at I tain it we have been forced to make pron.ises to d e , troops,—not such prom7.es as the French leafier m tile to his army before the debiats on tit- R 4 71) I cA. near Caine and Dennewitz, which hindered foin • um p.:r forming them, but soch as ge.ieronsciniqu Tips to modest soldiers, whose well ire they value, and whose coura7e they know how to appreciate. el It is by the contiibution that thew p.omises frost he fulfilled; and I ca:inot conceive, Sir, how it 'has happened, that in these three days that we Ivive been negociating on this subject, you have not gin toge ther a sum on account sufficient to s'lew your good will to the Prince, who must not he deceived in his hope of fulfilling his promise to his iolliers, who are used to depend on his word. You, and thins.. who have neglected or rather prevented the pap!) •nt of a stun in part, are the persons to whom Paris must ins:Jute the disagreeable coLsetittenci s of this neglect. I am sorry, Sir, that having a particular es•eem for you, lam obliged to nvilc.: this decl oration I mutt add, that the ineasines taken on this occasion .!re nn violation of the Convelizi , ”l of Pariq, %if:re they IA only on those who sliew disoliedience or coolness in the execution of our orders.

We h l v • c,oco cren a h.i.ter in another Paper, stating.„ that when tt•e clout to:nation of Government to send him to St. H•len an nounced to hint, he replied that 4. N power on earth . should force him to tease the ilELLEitopitos. on such • a voyage ; that he would g out ~t the .3 ntnd ; and that,if petsistt d in, he could rely on his Officers to rit an end to his exisient.e."— In this statement them is nut a sin-it:rot truth, exc. print; only that the detrtnination of Governmi of has been made known to him. When it was com municated he exhibited more composure than was expected; received the intehieence with Seeming re. signation ; and on the whole he it.leed with as much politeness as could h ire been ex , ected front him. We are convinced that the letter alluded to was a bit of a hmx ; and what strengthens our opinio.i is the rireurnst•tice of it. h.viut. aiso announced that ti the Larrev frigate had sailed for France, with Generals BERTRAND, SAVARY, and ALUM AND, front on board the BELLERDPHON." Now it will be seen, by rett rence to our Deal letter, that the LIFFEY has arrived in the DOwns, not even from Plymouth, but from Ports mouth, and has been ordered to the River, to be paid off. Though it be not true that B WAPSIITE expressed himself in the language that I . os been ascrioed to him, yet he has not been entirely passive, tior does he submit to his fate with indifference. On the con trary he has sent to Government a strong r,mon 'trance, in which he maintains that he is still Estee- Roll of the FRENCH, his resignation having be, it only conditional, in favour of his son; and that there fore neither the English, nor the Aliies united, have Any right to dispose of him in the manner roposed. —We need not now discuss the question of the faci lity of his claim to an usurped title, which was never recognized by any of the Powers of Europe. He re signed when the Allies paid their first visit to Paris. His last assumption of the titre was neither more nor less than that of an invading General placing his head-qnarters for a few weeks in the capital. He has since been driven from these quarters, and he must take the consequences. His companions, SAVARY, BERTRAND, &c. have also been ti yit,g their hand at a remonstrance, or ilro test, but we have not been informed of 46 pal tictilar points. ACCIIMNT.—Sunday evening Mr. Deputy Purveyor Ray. mond, with Mr. Hartley. his wife old child, and a Gentlenran from Plymouth Deck-yard, went to see Bonaparte ; they were rms down by a man of war's boat, which in the effort to execute its orders, was going round the Bellerepon, For the purpose of keeling the boats at a proper distance; the IC ole were upset, and Mr. Raymond, in consequence of being a swanmer, succeeded in saving Mn.+ Hartley; others raved the chid, but t h e ~ .ntlenian NIA to r i.e no more, leaving a wile and four little ch Idren to deplore his loss.
