[Flichil THE OAEICTE bit PRANCE.] PAWS. MARCH 19. Calder Isteaordinary, Sunday Mewling. "Bonaparte pursues his march : but in proportion as he advances, his troops diminish. He arrived ont hz 17th at Auxerre with less than 6,000 men. He i d!, without doubt, quit that village this morning t o occupy Joigny this evening. Bonaparte precedes 11:3 advanced pad in a chariot, escorted only by toety dragoons. He is usually half a league in aJYARCe: As no obstacle is to the present moment opposed to his rash enterprise, we must conclude that i: is thh intention of government to let him advance to the height of Melon." It is in tact at Ham that all the most foetal able Military preparations are made. An army a l men will be collected there to•mbrrow. It %rill be augmented by all the volunteers. by all the bittaliona of the Natiorral Guards,' who arrive suc- cbsiiely and daily front the different departmentv— The army *hie)) is at Montargis, under the outer: of General Dupont, will thus receive reinforcements: We are assured, that his Majesty has declared his wish of repairing to the middle of the heroes who ilevnte themselves for the safety of the country, and :1 sharing their dangers. The English, who are in Belgium, and who had orders to embark, received counter-orders on the news of Bonaparte's enterprise. Thc Prussians have approached Thionville, which they will respect, if Bonaparte is destroyed but they v.:11 infallibly attack it, if he should succeed. The Austrians on the side of Geneva have evally mumed the same military attitude, and with the ante intentionge K. B. A nes► messenger, arrived from Vienna this morning, announces, that the Emperor Alexander ha: declared that. to souse the treaty of Paris to be respected. he will put in march 800.000 men. On the 12th, the Austrian armies were in march for Daly and France. Oa the 115:h. the Pruuiani Bara. ran, and Wortemberg armies were to be equally on !heir match. Prince Eugene Beauharnois declared at the Congress, that he would be the first to march against Bonaparte, the violator of treaties. The Dube of Wellington is named Generaliwimo the European *Mies. rARts. MARCH is: The Ilrefect of Lyons repaired this evening td the ling to annciunce.to him that this city had reentered under the authority of Louis XVIII. and that etety where was mounted the white cockade. Matti rich landed proprietors of Fraaee and some e the first eommeraal houses of the capital have cffered to the King considerable succours in money and goods. One of these offers alone amounted to Ave millions in specie. His Majesty, much affected with these matks of attachment, thanked those faith ful Frenchmen, and ordered it to be written to them, that he had not, at present, any need of pecuniary assistance. is said that the Minister of Finance told the King tbt there were in the pbblie treasury a hundred ts at the disposal of his Majesty for the necessities of i.e country. BRUSSELS, MARCH 17. The intelligence from Paris has pro:need the most live;; sensations here. The opinion of all good French !flea is unanimously shared by the inhabitants of the Tar, Bas, where all hearts regard the cause of Louis XVIII. as sacred. We learn that the English troops 11 .7 e made movements of concentration upon two' Antwerp and Moline', and that the Prussians are wilting their forces in the Lurtemirarg territory. BESANCON, MARCH 16. Nothing can equal the activity of the measures taken by the civil and military authorities in this de panrnent. The enthusiasm of all ranks increases.— The intelligence from Switoerland is excellent: a military attitude has been assumed to disconcert the Partisans of Bonaparte, who seek to agitate the Cana tnr, of Vaud. The Bernese are devoted to the House of liourbon. The spirit of Franehetortite is profoundly royalist Z 1 faithful ; all the arrangements ate executed with dispzeh : a magic confidence is attached to the name of the King ; it is for the King that all swear to die, is by the King that France appears already to L- saved. Every thing which is necessary fot the Prince of i llot tWa is furnished with alacrity; offers of ser• `'te of all kinds arrive from every part of the De. ,!iment. The Ordonnance of the King of the 9th f=i March has filled with a noble pride all the soldiery ` 4l v I "ii pay. The inhabitants crowd to the house of tit 4nt Shoe, the Prefect, to be sent. to join the corps Pritlce of Moskwa. A corps of volunteers has. .: 44 dy marched upon Auxonne : all in short here D'tAtl:es love for the King, confidence and fidelity. SOISSONS, MARCH 16. city of Soissons, which at all epochs has given lilly proofs of patriotism and attachment to its legitimate Sorereigns, has signstlited itl . devotitt to; the sacred cause of liberty; against the Odiods ty ranny which threatens to subject France to the most degrading slavery. The Sub-Prelect has called together all who are respectable in point of rank or fortune, and all have evinced their eagerness to march against the enemy who threatens our liberties. Companies of Voinn teen have been organized, and subscriptions opened to defray the expense of arming and equipping them. The Ilionitessi contains addresses from Beurdeatuc, Cherbourg, and Havre, from the Royal Dragoons, the regiment of Monsieur, the 88th regiment of the Line, and about forty other corps. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. SITTINGS OF THE 18TH Or stAaMt. After a Secret Committee, which lasted from one to half-past two, the doors were thrown open to the public. M. Sartelan then proposed, after a suitable speech, a law for the better and more expeditious payment of the army, which was agreed to with inanimity. General AumEa—l demand that the war shall be declared Notional as long as Bonaparteis upon French ,ground. The army has long since been released from its oaths to Bonaparte s it has contracted new oaths to a King whose every instant of time is devoted to the welfare of the French people: the army, there fore, will remain faithful.

Officers commanding corps will receive their orders from, and address their reports to, 11. E. Marshal Duke of Tarentum. Head-quarters will this day be established at V illejuif. Yesterday a vast number of National Guards and inhabitants of Paris, who have voluntarily inlisted to form the moveable National Guard of the Depart. ment of the Seine, met in the Courtyard of the King's Library. Even there, a concourse of young men enrolled themselves tur the same duty. To wards mid-day Baron Le Capitaine reviewed them, when they unanimously exclaimed—" Five I< Roi l, Vivant :el Bourbon: I" Several Royal regiments have already armed 'at Melon. Within two or three days the camp neat that place will consist of from :10 to 40,000 men. In Brittany a very considerable lexy has been made, of which a large proportion is ready to march. The volunteers of that province ainount to 40,000 men. This intelligence was brought to Paris by M. d'Es. clignac, Aide-de-Camp to Lieut. General D'Auti. champ. LILLE, MARCH 16. Our city has set the example to the department of the North. Battalions are forming. The first goes from hence. The young men are conveyed to Paris in 40 carriages —some on horses, others in the dili geucies, and about 600 workmen in carriages put in' requisition to travel post. Thirty-six sedentary can noneer: precede the troops with two light guns. The expenses of equipment and conveyance are to be paid by a subscription which was opened yester day morning, and which before night amounted to nearly 25,000 francs. To.day 50,000 francs will have been subscribed, and should that be insufficient, every body is ready to repeat their subscriptions. LAON, MARCH In. The levy, which had been ordered of one man in twenty, to enable the National Guards to march, and to form corps of Volunteers in the department of Aisne, has been made with the greatest activity.— The results are most satisfactory. The Authorities are seconded by men truly devoted to the cause. Nothing can exceed the zeal and devotion of the in habitants of all towns. The moat exalted personages of the department hasten to inrul themselves in the corps of Royal Volunteers. Arms arrive in abun dance. One corps is ordered to Melan. The Pro clamations of the Kinghave made a great impression and excited the most lively enthusiasm. ANGERS, MARCH 15. . His Serene Highness the Duke of Bourbon, in vested by the King with the government of this part of the kingdom, arrived here yesterday. The Au. charities have all waited upon him to offer their ho mage, and were received with that grace and Arabi , lity which characterise the family of the Bourbons. -- -- ."' THE EVENING STAR.

Yesterday tfispatches were received from Brussels, dated the 17th; announcing that the British army in the Netherlands bad begun its march toward the French frontier. This the public must have expected, from what fell from Lord earrLaazaou on Monday' evening, that if BOMAPARTZ should be re-established in France, it would be impossible 'for this, or indeed any country, to look forward to tranquillity ; that it was sore natural that we should support that Mo- nareb who had, in good faith, assured peace to Eu rope, than the man who had so long kept the world in a state Of warfare. The armies of Athtrii, Russia, and Prussia are :according to the Paris Pipers) by this time also in. =dot. Early this morning we received Paris Papers of Sunday last; and also some Numbers of the Journal of the Apartment of the Rhine, a Paper published ud. dtr the authority of BONAPARTE. The contents of the latter are just such as the world has been used to receive from the same person. We shall not stop to analyze them. We have laid ample extracts from them before our Readers. In spite of all the previous reports of desertion from the standard of BONAPARTE we find him still advancing towards the capital. Our accounts yes terday had carried him to Autun on the 16th. The Ilkatitear Of Sunday informs us that he left that place on the same day ; and the Gazette de France states, that he reached Auxerre on the 17th (Fi iday last) and Arnold occupy Joigny, a town stilt nearer Paris, on Sunday evening. In all this march he does not appear to have met with the least opposition ; nor, so far as we can un derstand the accounts in the French Papers, does there appear to be any intention to attempt to arrest his progress till he shall have readied Fontainbleau, thirty-five miles from Paris ; or, more probably, Me lun, whicl, is only twenty-five miles from that city. On of the Minor Papers states, that BONAPARTE precedes his advanced guard in a calash, escorted by twenty dragoons, and is commonly half a league in advance. This is a curious circumstance ; it proves, if correct, that those employed to oppose him, have some strong reason for not coming in contact with him. If his steps were followed, as in a case of common invasion, some corps or other ,could, by this time, have made a dash at him.—But no; the prin cipAi station of the troops, collecting to cover the capital, is to be at Melun. Will BONAPARTIL 50 far Accommodate himself to this arrangement, as to march by that road to Paris ?—Time will spew. It speeches could destroy the Tyrant he would soon he annihilated. The Monitor is filled, as usual, with loyal and energetic addresses from the Military and Civil Authorities in almost every district of the kingdom; and many of them state that they are organizing the force within their power for the ge neral safety. The French Funds still maintain a good price. The 3 per Centf. left off on Saturday at 68i. The private letters from Paris are more explicit than the Journals, as far as concerns the state of the public mind. Great apathy prevails throughout the capital. Many seemed to consider the present strug gle as a matter of perfect indifference. BONAPARTL it was the prevailing opinion, would arrive in Paris on Tuesday [yesterday] evening, and the majority seemed perfectly reconciled to the event. The Ad dresses of the Royalists were considered by many as mere vapouring t few having made any dispositions for resistance, and man• having deprecated the idea of spilling the blood of their fellow countrymen. A Gentleman. who left Calais yesterday morning at four o'clock, informs us that the inhabitants of that place seem very indifferent respecting the pro gress making by BONAPARTS. Four inferior Officers bad been arrested . at St. Omer's, for crying Pile PBsifera► /—they were tried, found guilty, and were to be shot on Sunday morning. He supped the evening preceding in company with an Officer of distinction in the French army, who declared, he would not suffer BONAPARTK to be called a scoun drel in his company, but that be should' not hesitate to shoot him. Such, he says, are the prevailing sen timents of the military in general. The Gael charge for passengers by the packet was 10s. 6d. it is now one guinea ; Calais is much thinned of English visitors ; most articles there have risen double the price, and more business has been done there within this fortnight than ever was known. 4 . HASTINGS, TUZSDAT EvaaiNo, S o'Clock, P.M. " •The Nancy, Captain Roeea, has arrived here this moment from Boulogne. She left that place this morning at ten o'clock, but did not bring a single passenger ; the English people there feeling no ap ? prehension of alarm for their safety. The Paris Papers of the 20th had not arrived. At Boulogne the utmost tranquillity prevailed, and the most enthu siastic loyalty. Most of the troops had been marched from thence towards Paris. The people, universally, wear the white cockade, and the white flag is seen flying in every direction." DO Mit, MARC H 21. I The accounts from Calais this day are quite at variance with those received yesterday. It is no* said that there has not been any affair between M tr. NET and BONAPARTE'S advanced Ga ;ed, beat that BONAPARTE is advancing slowly to PAT is, M L.l-* GM meeting any opposition. He was at Auxcrre by the last accounts. The Duke of PORTLAND came over this day from Calais. ANOTHER LETTER. DOVER, MARCH 21, 9 P. M. A small vessel has just arrived here fiom Bou logne. whence she sailed this day at noon w'th pas_ senders. She brings the most discouraging tumours respecting the progress of BONAPARTE. The alarm had greatly increased, and was increasing at that place every hour. Many fugitives had just at rived, seeking their way to England. According to ti.e latest rumour, BONAPARTE had quilled Auxerre, and was expected at Fentainbleau on Saturday last. THE ARMY: A considerable bustle prevailed ta-Jay in tl.e va. rious departments of Government, conneoed with the administration of the army. It is sa;J, that routes have been made out for the immtdia.e march of several regiments, particularly of c tvalry, for the coast, previous to embarkation for the Ccutinort. The regiments of infantry intended for B.elgiurn are, we understand, the 28. h, 71st, lind 79 h, and which have been ordered twin Cork to the Downs, for that purpose. The whole regiment of the Royal Horse Guards, Blue, are to be embarked, to j, in our ha ce in Bel gium, under the command of their Wits:: it'd; Col in 1, the Marshal Duke of WELLINGTOV, n It English and Hanoverians, not less than 70,(>W ci6 fective troops under the British stardad. The 100th, (or Prince Regent's Regiment) are ordered home from Canada, being reduced to a mere skeleton in the recent campaigns in that country, where they particularly distinguishzd This corps is not to be reduced, as was some time since erroneously reported in the daily prints. • Yesterday the 2d battalion of the Pith regiment, stationed at Dover, received orders to hold themselves • in readiness to embark for Flanders. A detachment of three Officers and one hundred • men belonging to the 82d regiment, under the com mand of Captain BEGBIE, disembarked at Quebec on the 27th November last. This detachment trots their soldierlike appearance, and the high order they %eery in, eicited the admiration of every one. '1 ;le la Battalion of the 82d, under the command :Ylajor Pnocroa, is now stationed in Upper Can Ada, on the Niagara Frontier. Their late pliant Comintilider, General GUANT, is returned home on protriaion, as has also Major VINCENT. N4V./11. FALMOUTH, MARCH 19.
