Now it must be admitted that the system that has thus been resorted to by BONAPARTE is the best that could possibly have been adopted in his present cir cumstances. It is the only one that could present the least chance of putting the Allies in the wrong, in the event of a war with France. On the other hand we may rest assured that however active the Allies may be in preparing to maintain the general safety, they will not, by any precipitate act, play into the hand of the Usurper. They will be cautious and deliberate in their movements—of this we have an instance in point : a few days ago a French vessel was, without orders, carried into I'ly:nouth. It will be seen among our nautical intelii::;ence that she has since been liberated. The following are extracts from the Palk Papers of the 7th.

The Emperor received, at his Levee to day, De putations from the National Guards or Metz, Chateau Thierry, and Laon. Chevalier Fontaines, First Architect to the Em peror, has presented to him plans for the Etaiing in which the Members of the Assembly of the Champ de Mars are to meet, and which will contain 20,000. All the public works in Pads havu been ri=mcd during this week, and several thousands of workmen are in full employment, finishing our rowntiments which had been abandoned For eleven months. His Majesty has ordered the number of workuhn to be doubled next week. MINISTRY OF WAR. Many attempts have been made to cause Lieute nant-General d'Arrican to surrender to irregu:ar and fresh raised troops the fortress of Perpignan, but he has presaved it for the Emperor, as well as the City and the whole department of the Eastern Pyrennees, in which no symptom of opposition has been mani . tested. The National colours are flying every where. Notwithstanding all the efforts of the Due d'An gouleme, the insurrection in the South is more in words than in deeds. The 13th regiment of the line has been sent back from Names to Montpelitr, because it was reckoned trust-worthy : the other regiments :ire in the tame state, and only wait for the moment to declare themselves. Madatne D'Arrican, who is the bt•arer of letters from her husband ct•ot.iihing the a:Joy.: rvtation, set out from l'erpii.;tran on the lltA). She through Toulouse on the 21st. Toe Duke of An goulcme was there with M. de Dinhts, who aiyeared to he t;:u only-per:4m of rank wi,h liiar. lle. was en deavot,rmg, but without success, to collect a force. At Valence, the :33d regiment, united- w:th the sStri shouting Vice l'Experrai ! The Commune of Larnure had given it a tri-colowed 11,g, and the Commune of Corps had given one iu the ,r");ih. 'there are no rrul:.: disturbances nor feats of . civil war in the t h of the Upper Alp; and the Isete. There are still, however, some Provelic sls scattered ab..nit, who will speed.ly arrested if they do not go home. The arrival of the news of what has happened at Paris dissipates tioni time to time all remains of in guietude. _ _ _ The Nation 1A- —tiara of Vieille, I..lmtire, and Corps, have behaved most Avonthrtully weil. The population of Lamure had turned out to a man, and they occupied the ridges of the tneuntaii:s ready to hurl down stones on the Prover:94s if th.:y attempt' to force the passes. - The trifling engagements which had already taken place had caused a loss of silty nwn to the r.Arcls, while only four of the Emperor's troops were wounded. An article in the ilLri eur, dated Lyons, the 4th states, that ab:it 500 Marseillais, with two regiments of the line, the . sSth and 83d, having ad. vanced on the side or Grenoble, they were mat by General Chabert, and put to tlught, and the two regin:eats, with thcir od:cers, joined the trn: , ps of the Emperor. It adds that at the same time another column of equal force with the 10th egi in en tof infantry, un der the eimmand of the Duke d'Angonlente, ad vanc:; , ', upon hl6ntelimart, it was met by General Debelle, with 600 National Guards. A battle en sued, and the rebels were defeated with the loss of 00 killed and worn Jed, and the 10th Regiment :Gilled the Emperor's uoups. The article then proceeds tints The National Guards advanced, to fraternize with the soldiers; but the traitors immediately resumed the white coaade, .11;.1 filed a discharge : a few mep were wounded ; the b i idge was passed, and the pet tidy gave a mo.. uta: y advantage to the rebels, who entered 'Val nice." Gtneral Gicuchy, apprised (f the event, set out' from Lyons, and other forces marched, the result of whiJi, ti'e 140niitur adds, was, the Duke of Angou lerne retreated, abandoned Valence, and proceeded for Islonteiimart, where he was pursued. • General Grouchy proposes to push forward as far as lMlarsciUec, to stifle this rebellion.

By arrivals at Pot tsmontli from Havre-de-Grace, we learn that much exertion is now making at that part for active warfare in the event of hostilities with this country. A great number of privateers arc fit ting out there, and the following are quite prepared for a start the moment permission is given ;—A fine brig ef 14. guns, 6-pi:tinders, with 76 men, painted all black ; another brig of 12 guns, 6-potind,ri, 95 men, painted black, with a white figure-head ; and a schooner of 12 guns, 6-pounders, a very fine yes. :.el. There is also a fine frigate on the stocks, nearly ready to be launched. Cannon have been in:milted nil all the batteries at Havre, and along the coast.— Monday se'nnight, being the day appointed, all the troops at Havre took the oath of allegiance to Bona parte. A Prussian ship has been detained there, by order cf the present Government. The inscription , 4 N. 1810." was conspicuous on all the public build ings, particularly one of immense size on the• Pier Head. Tne good understanding which lately stib• sisted between the inhabitants of Havrc, and the tra ders from Pot !smooth, has cease 1, and they itow show the gretttest coolness to the English, we may sty hostility, and they seize every opportunity of incelt ing them. It is a sati,faction to know that ere!zers from Portsmouth are active and keep is good look-out on the opposite coast. Saturday morning the SWIFTSUftE, 74 guns, Cap tain Wenn', arrived at Portsmouth front the Lee ward Islands, which she left in crimpany with la Piquz, Captain Hon A. NIAIITAND; MnQ•2ITo, Captain ToMKINwN ; and HERoN, Captain ANNEA t.e.Y, having in charge 92 sail of merchantmen. The - SWIFTSERR left Barbadoes on the 14th, and St. I Thomas's on the '27th of February. The Ilea had a fair wind during the whole of the passage, thou ,h it often blew excessively hard ; the brig Ann foend‘red in one of the gales, after the crew had been taken oat. I The BRAZEN arrived at Barbadoes early in February from England, with the news of Peace having : been concluded with America; she went on to Jamaica.— The 14th Regiment had arrived at Barbadoes from North America. It will afford sincere gratification to hear, that all the Leeward Islands, as well as the ships on the station, were particularly healthy. Tilt PIQIne saw the, ships bound to the Bristol chonnes (she arrived at Portsmouth on Friday) ; the HERON parted with the trade for the Clyde ; the Swirl-was and MUSQUITO t with the remainder of the convoy, for the River, came up • Channel. Captains M'Cuu.oc sad Luxe, R.N. came home ia the thruzsuas DISTURBANCES AT DARTMOOR PRISON. Friday last, a most serious array took place at Dartmoor Prison, where the American pri , :oners of war are confined. It appears, that the unfortunate prisoners, who'amlunt to five or s'x thousand, had recently become extremely impatient to be et at li berty, and ascribed their detention to M. BEAZLEY, their countryman, who is agent for American pri soners of war in London. This person they burnt in effigy on Friday, and then proceeded to force their way out of the confiaes of the prison. Captain SHORTLAND., the resident Briti:h agecit, %%cut in among them alone and unarmed, to endeav , ,ur to pacify them, but a pistol was snapped at him, and therefore the soldiers fired among the insurgents, when about twelve were killed and thirty w )unlcd. A musket-ball grazed Captain SUMMAND% cheek. The prompt interference of the military quelled the insurrection, and tranquillity was rev r; t. One hundred additional soldiers marched morn Plym r•ith to Dartmoor in the -Arum of Friday, to te;trit.a,. tart: guard. THE: Alf Air. The Veteran Battalions recently dic-elodied are ordered to be immediately re-formed, and pI rccd cn the establishment under new Officers. Friday about 100 then of the 75th Regiment, front Stirling, embarked at Leith for Gravesend. The 71st Regiment, consisting of 800 men, com manded by Colonel REYNELL, and a part of the 91st Regiment, winch consists of 990 men, commanded by Colonel Sir WILLIAM DotTGLAS, arrived on Satur.lay morning at Portsmouth, from Callingtord Bay, Ire. land, on their way to the Downs and Ostend, being destined to the Netherlands. B.:th these Regimens were originally embarked for America ; hut when the order reached them to proceed to the Downs, they were on their passage to to disembark there. !'he transports have been a fortnight at sea. All Officers who may be order cd to join their Re. giments, are not, in future, to join the Depots of Re giments, in the Isle of Wight, but are to assemble ..t Hilsea Barracks, the Depots of Regiments s . :!I re maining in the Isle of Wight. Ab )ut 150 Offic will arrive at Portsmouth, from that Island, in the course of the week. The Depot of the 51st Regiment, commanded by Captain SMELLIE, has been removed tram Portsmouth to the Isle of Wight. We have this day received a Frankfort Journal of the 31 of April. It contains a spirited declaration from the Swiss Diet against BONAPARTE; by which the Swiss Confederation is pledged to unite with the Allies in driving him out of France. The Duke of Yotu: held a Levee on Frlday, Men he had about sixty on his list. S 'turd ty night his Royal Hi 4 hneas was engaged in busine s s till 4 late hour, and also during yesterday he was busily mpl tyed.
