... SECOND DECLARATION o► imt ALLIES. " VIIIRNA I APRIL 26. ri The Declaration of the 13th of Mardi is known i n y r ince, at is proved by tht article inserted in the j o riii dr Paris of the sth of April. This peelers. t i on is the unanimous expression of the wishes and arages of nations.

The Congress has not deliberated upon supposi. : L i m It has prescribed Bonaparte. This man can. liit .and ought not to ind any further asylum among : ivilized nations. Still less can he govern them. Nil is the principle of the act of proscription de ,unced against him.

A compact united it sith its Sovereign. A Treaty had reconciled it with Europe. Bonaparte, in arrogating to himself the o p re me power, has made it violate boip. He re iitinges it into the horrors of civil war, anarchy, and rallitary despotism. Is it possible that he dares to roniise France liberal institutions, and 'the empire of the htwa? s Is it p %sit& that this man can have the effron tery to promise to feeeign nations that he will respect treaties, and not interfere in their affairs ?

The Congress of Vienna was on the eve of 'nlpieting the - work of the re-construction ofthe po. weal system of Europe. The ware Congress, the ii• of conduct which it bas followed, proves that all rerests have been maturely weighed, and its labours lered the consolatory result which insures to nations inalienability of their independence.

CLANATION or THE ALLIER, issued on the 26th ultimo. These may both be considered as one political act— they correspond in object, in spit t , and in the period of promulgation. The object a the war is declared without any equivocation.--44 The Congress has not de& iterated wpm sulepositioru. It has proscribed Bohr:were and the French people are called upon to assert their own Independence, and prevent the entrance of the Allied Armies into France, byevoluntarily expelling the man who is the author of all her miseries. There is in the new Vienna Declaration one sen tence which might furnish a there for a volgose--. 1 . . we quote the words ; 4 , The Treaty of the 30th of May laid down She bases of the restoration of THE PUBLIC 1 LAW of Europe, and it established by ice consequences, a happy concord between the progress of the SPIRIT of the age, and the perfecting of the institution: calculated to gua rantee to each peopk the esOornest of its glory and its liberty." The sentiments and their avowal in this sentence are most important. Out of the evils en tailed on Europe by the enormities of the Revolts, tionists, has come much real good to her different States. The necessity of not only maintaining the public law of Europe, but adapting its pro - visions to the progress of the spirit of the age, is here recog nised with a frankness which can only' have flown from conviction ; and the very avowal is a gua rantee of lithe general happiness. It is, in deed, creditable to the eltirit of the Rulers of the present period. It is a trite remark, that Govern ments are generally the followers rather than the formers of public opinion; and this has often been, inconsiderately, charged against them as a crime. Me error on the part of Governments, however, hp not, generally, been that of following, but of entirely and resisting the public voice ; and hence Coe imbecile condition in which the era of the French Revolution found all the States of Europe except Britain.—ln this country, from our happy constitu tion, our Government, though it took not the lvad ( for no wise Government will seek to do so), was never far behind she progreu of the &pint of the age : in the of .c SLIM the regrets of the spirit of roe was was either not seei, -et 'was disregarded. The na tural consequences followed. 'riiere was no commu nity of sentiment between the rulers and the ruled, and the convulsion when it reached them, shook them to their very foundations. This is now seen and acknowledged. What a triumph to the princi ples and practice of our own happy constitution.— Britain has thus conferred on the other nations a blessing far surpassing the aids afforded to them by her fleets, her armies, her subsidies, her perseverance --She has laid the foundations of an extended social compact, founded on the bases of mutual rights, mu tual benefits, mutual protection ! Each will have an interest and a right to remind every other of the necessity of avoiding individual conduct unsuited to the improved state of society, as acts which threaten the general peace of the great European family ; and the slow but certain amelioration of the condition of those individual communities which are yet compa ratively low in the scale of political condition, will inevitably be the consequence. Wise Statesmen have but one possible evil to dread from the system now avowed—namely, the indiscreet haste of particular States to attain instantly the maximum of political happiness. As Governments should never resist the progress of social improvement on throne hand, so, on the other, whatever means they may adopt to improve the pub lic mind, they should manifest their prudence by so conducting themselves as to mein to follow not to dictate the public voice. We speak not now of the direct reward of virtue or punishment of vice, which ought never to slumber in a well regu lated community, but of those political measures and institutions which should ever be in the eye of wise Statesmen as calculated directly to ameliorate the condition of the people, improve their mind, and extead their moral energies; and ultimately to in crease their physical resources. We soy these should ever be in their eye, as• means much better adapted than war and conquest to make nations rich, great, and free; but by too much haste, they may retard in stead of hastening the general improvement. It augurs well, however, to mankind, that States men have at last discovered, or, if known before, avowed, that an attention to the progress of the spirit of the age, is one of the means 44 calculated to gua rantee to each people the enjoyment. of its glory and its liberty." • - We have received Paris Papers of Tuesday. They furnish but little intelligence of intereit. The M.ai. tarr in particular is dull and uninteresting. It is nearly filled with a translation of a dull effusion from the pen of an Englishman, in the form of a letter to Louis XVIIL in which the superior claims of Bo- NAPARTI to the :French Throne are zealously, bu warmly 'advocated. Tbt 'most important paragraph in these Papers that which announces the interchange of Couiiers b.- tween the Cabinet of Vienna and that of the Tbuille ries. BONAPART6 is asserted to have said to Caano . r. that be had reason to hope that the peace between France and Austria will not be interrupted. He said the same thing a few weeks ago respecting England! The present assertion• may be equally remote horn truth. • The French Funds are a little improved : they were 57i on Monday. COURIER EXTRAORDINARY OP TUESDAY MORNING. _ _ ' General Leccurbe has his head-quarters at BeFort. Prince Canino arrived to-day at Paris. Letters from Milan of the 26th of April, state, that the Austrian army was marching upon Ancona, and that King Joachim was continuing his retreat. The Duke of Wellington and Marshal Blucher have had an interview at Tirlemont. Prince Joseph was busy with the Emperor all yes terday. It appears certain that there is at present an ex change of Couriers between the Cabinet of Vienna and that of the Theatrics. We are assured drat the -Eauperet , has said so . °strut Carnet u 1 hap that the peace will ~or be interrupted." Intelligence from Augsburgh of the 28th April, states that a revolution has broken out in the king. dom d Naples. M. de Menneval, Secretary of the Cabinet of the Empress Maria Louisa, was to set out on the with of April from Vienna on his return to France. PARIS, MAY 8. A telegraphic dispatch was received at mid-day, stating, that the divisiotvof the Prussian army, which was in full march to the frontiers of France, from Luxemburg, had suddenly halted, and retraced its steps. Letters from the Northern frontiers state, that the Belgian peasants have brought into France 20,000 muskets, and delivered them to the French Thwaniers. His 'Majesty has created Battalions of Chasseurs of the Pyrenees, and of the Alps, which are to be assi milated in every respect to the Battalions of the Line. In every quarter of Paris we meet with conscripts going to rejoin their corps, and all are animated with the best spirit. A misunderstanding is said to have taken place between the Duke de Berri and the Prince of Orange. One Robert, an old Chouan chief, has been trying to incite the peasants of La Vendee to a civil war. A detachmeAt of the 26th of the line has surprised him in the Castle of Juillier, near Beanpre, where he was killed. His followers, to the number of ISO, have bren almost aU taken. " • PARIS, MAY S. A foreigner who kft London on the 4th, arrived here yesterday evening; he says that the Cabinet of St. James's waited the arrival of a courier from Vienna before coming to a final determination. This traveller was much surprized to find that at Paris war was considered as declared. MILAN, APRIL 26. The division of the Austrian General Neipperg is advancing towards Ancona. It is said that King Joachim purposes to embark his artillery there. His army is retreating in all directions. The Grand Duke of Tuscany set out on the 17th from Leghorn for Pisa, whence he will. soon return to his capital, and thus gratify the wishes of the hightail Tuscans. All is gradually returning to order. The inhabi tants, for an instant alarmed, are returning to their villages and their labours. Commerce has also re vived. Italy in short is saved. This day Lord AMU, eldest son to Earl BA THURST, arrived in Downing -street, from Vienna, with dispatches from the British Minister there.— They are understood merely to relate to the second Declaration of the Allied Sovereigns, which will be found in another part of our Paper. Yesterday the. Princess CUARLOTTI took a long 1 tour in an open carriage, by Putney, Richmond, Kingston, Hammersmith, &c. attended by Colonel' ADMISSIONS * the Countess of Itznasraa, and Miss , COATIVi t with three out-riders. Her Royal Highness returned to CArlton•house, when she received visits from Lady ASHEROOK, a number of the &c. Yesterday morning Mr. FOSTER. the Mayor of Ply. mouth, was admitted to a lung audience of the PRINCE REGENT, at CaltOn-house. The Property Tax Bill was read a third time last night in the House of Lords, and pasted. The Anniversary of the Sons of the Clergy was celebrated yesterday at St. Paul's Cathedral. The Sermon was preached by the Rev. G. MATHEW. The collection amounted to £4.99 I ls. Bd. Yesterday several of the Baltic merchants ctm-- tracted with the Commissioners of the Navy to r s up. l ply them with 6500 tons of hemp from Petersborgh and Riga, at £56. per ton. The private letters from every part of the Coast announce the daily influx of deserters from B parte's army, mostly officers. Great numbers have landed at Dover, whence they sail for-Ostend to join the standard of their lawful Sovereign. MILANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—The extent of the cala- mity which happened at the Colliery at Newcastle, is stated as follows:--Mr. Miller (the underviewer, who has left a wife and eight children), 3i2 workmen, 42 boys, and 37 horses, have perished ; and (2i; widows, with about 80 children, are left to bemoan the sudden death of their husbands and fathers. A subscription for the relief of the widows and orphans has been set on foot by Gentlemen whose influence and characters cannot tail to render it successful. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. EAST-INDIA,SHIPPI"o.

From► the state of the wind, it was not expected they would. reach Cork harbour on Wednesday, and they are now, probably, in one of the Western Harbours. GHINT, MAY 7.—Fresh divisions of British troops, both horse and foot, continue to arrive here, as well as French s•'ldiers of all descriptions, Who come to join their King, the hope of France. Baussiu.s, Mar 8. —The Duke of Wellington, who went to Ghent two days ago, returned here yesterday, after having had an interview with Louis XVIII.— There is no talk yet of his departure for the army. R.AUsGATZ, MAY 11.--Arrived from Cork two transports of the largest class, Nos. 267 and 600, having on board a part of the 13th Light Dragoons, for Flanders : they have come in here in order to put their troops on board small r craft to make the remainder of their passage. The transports, after discharging these troops, have directions to go into the Downs, there to wait further orders. Arrived also the Marshal Blucher and Resolution, extra packets, with passengers from Ostend (the Blucher has made the passage to and from Ostend in the slho•t space of 34 bons:) —they bring nothing fresh in the news way. We could descry last evening from the pier-head two frigate.built ships riding in the Downs, with white flags fly ing ; but what they ate, or under what circumstances they came there, we do not learn, though we presume they are the ships referred to in the London Papers of yesterday, as having been de tained by one of our sloops of war. Government has taken up as a dispatch vessel a most beautiful copper-bottomed schooner, now lying in our harbour : she had been employed very successfully as a priva teer in the late war with America—the French nation had.also felt the effect of her superior sailing.— Sailed for Osteid this morning's tide, the Lord Liverpool packet, Captain FonsTeit, with General Wu.soa, two of his Aids.de•camp, and 10 other pas sengers, chiefly military Gentlemen, to join their re spective regiments. The Liverpool had also on board 14 OiScers' dusters: The Ist Royal Dragoons are expected to arrive here for embarkation in a dey or • two. OPORTIN. INfELLIGENCR.
