RENCN PAABILf4 dam..••kv•ll6o - (HICEIVID THIS 1401LIIII10.) PARIS, JULY 30. In the fashionable world they speak of a marriage b e tw, n the Duke of Otranto and Mademoiselle de CA):illone. It is said that their intimacy began at Aix, where the Doke lived during his, proscription b y 13-nap Arte; and where he left recollections which ar e Jiar to the inhabitants of Provence. The Royal Volunteers who follcrxed the King to Ghent returned to Paris this morning, and paraded os: the Place du Carousel, at noon. At the head of of t he companies we observed 14. Martainville. The French army is re-organizing. Every single to 'iiti who arrives at Paris is put into the barracks 3 3i reincorporated. Captains, who are upwards of 50 years of age, will obtain an honourable retreat on General Evelmans, at the head of his corps d'Armee, reduced to 2400 men, has arrived in the Auvergne. On the 22J be had not assumed the white cockade ) but he waited for orders, he said, and toss ready to take an oath to the King. , No person knows whine Count d'Erlon is, nor is any th.ng known 4f his submission to the King. who was arrested at Mont de Marsan, is at P.ttis. From Soissons we learn, that, on the 27th of July, tl.e Russian vedettes came very near that city. The white !Lig waves over the public edifices ;—but the Comm..ilthat is determined not to surrender the place to the Allies. The Ex-King of Sweden, Gustavus, has quitted Switzerland for Italy. General Kosciusko is at present in Switzerland. PARIS, JULY 30. This morning the King, on his return from mass, stopped a long time in the Salle des Mareehaux, where his nijesty himself received the Petitions pre sented to him. Several times his Majesty penetrated into die crowd to take the Petitions of those who could riot approach him. It is s that Lord Wellington *ill give a dinner to forty pLrsons of the highest distinction to-morrow, a n d t 1 it a!terwards there will be a ball and supper. is heltesed that the Minister of, the King's house. hold will not be named before the meeting of the Cl:ambers. The Duke de Richelieti has positively refu,el this office. The nuliber of Austrian troops which occupy the department of the Nievre is reckoned at 20,000.. There are 5000 at La Charitk the only village of the dPpArtment which has a bridge which leads into the department of Cher. All these troops observe a severe discipline. It is said that several Officers. seised by a royal crder of the 24tb 4 Jair. trove asked for passports to depart from France, and that they have been granted to Oral. M. Lahedoyere. who they said was arrested at Paris, is now at Rion). M. de Lorgne formerly private secretary of Bonaparte, paising by Chalons-sur-Marne, was stopped by the Russians, who, it is said, have great charges to make against This morning two individuals bad the audacity to cry « Vive I'Empereur !" under the windows of the palace of the Thuilleries. The public indignation was so great and so unittrsal, that these madmen were oSliged to be taken in a coach to the Commissioner of the Police. Without this precaution it is likely that the public would have proceeded to arts of vio lence, which it is always best to prevent. It is ge nerey believed that they were drunk: The inhabitants of the department of Gard, assem bled at Paris, have presented a petition to his Ma j sty, to call his paternal attention to the situation a their city (Nimes). The presence of his Royal High ness the Duke d'Angouleme, who is expected there, will ameliorate the misfortunes of. this place, will Wit the plots of these enemies, and prove to all par- ties that there still exists wisdoni and moderation. Montpellier has also beep the witness of bloody scenes. Several detachments of soldiers hinted to the frdefir and half-pay officers, tried to tear down the white flag, and to hoist in its stead the tri-coloured standard. They failed in this attempt : but it cost not less than twenty-bye individuals their limes, se veral of whom had families. The inhabitants of the country came armed to the assistance of the Roya lists, and they dreaded new disasters. Let us hope that the presence of Monseigneur the nuke d'Angouleme, who, at this moment when we Alite must be in the adjoining country, will Olin :°le minds and prevent new disturbance's between the To explain entbu simian which exiets in the South, and which is the town, as well , as in the coun- Y. has been fatal to a great many individuals, .‘nown by the 'name of Bonapartists, it Must be k it)wn that during the three months which have parsed the compression of the Soudr has been peater, ,l Pukao. than is 1793. Soldiers and federes have hrn stitioned as guards in all the villages, Military - Commissions have bees established, the National Guards disbanded, and civil administration suspended throughout. It 'was by the assistsuice of these Akre! "'ensures that the Government of Bonaparte was e•-•Lthlidlerl with apparent tranquillity at Beurdeaus, in Languedoc, and Provence. This does not justify, but trplaias the fury with which the people of this r beputment now panne all that belonged to the do te:patent of tlie Usurper: PAWS, JULY St. The contingents of troops from Hamborgit and the ether Hanseatic towns were in lull march for Paris on the 25th, from Antwerp. . The National Guards yesterdat arrested two thieves who, in order to be less exposed to the •igi• lance of the Police, bad put on the Scots HighLiad uniform. For the last two days crowds have assembled be. fore the shops of the printsellers, to look at the cari catures published on Bonaparte, some of which are, droll enough. It is singular that on the departure of this man for Elba, not one appeared which repre sented him in a ridiculous light. The recollection of the victories be owed to French valour was yet too fresh, and Napoleon seemed to be rather an object of horror and hatred than of laughter. But now, after he has been.seen employed only in securing his per sonal safety after the massacre of Mont St. Jean, that he has been seen to weep in the presence of General Becker, at the fear of being. shot by the English, his cowardly behaviour has merited the contempt of all Dirope, and the contrast it presents with the title of Hero, wall which he was so long honoured, has somithing so irresistibly comic, aslo strike even the lowest man in the kitigdom. The people who cried 44 Vive l'Empereur" three months ago, exited in. dignation—now they are laughed at. COURIER EXTRAORDINARY Or MONDAY MORNING. We are assured, that, according to the measures adopted for the line of demarcation of the allied ar. mies, forty departments will remelts untouched. They speak of the marriage of a son of France (the Duke ck Berri) with the Princess Leopoldine, the Archduchess of Austria. It seems that the King has already filled up the places of those Peers who had accepted seats in the high Chamber of Bonaparte. The Empresses of Austria and Russia, and the Grand Duke Constantine, are expected at Patiu We are assured that 7000 men of the old guard form the nucleus of the new aorde Royale.

Yesterday, after the STAR was at press, Dispatches were received from General BROWNRiOR, the Govern nor of Ceylon,.aonouncing the defeat and capture of the tiNG of CANDY, the native Capital of the Island, the substance of which WAS announced in the following GOVERNMENT BULLETIN z. " DOWNING-S'IREEr, AUGUST 2. " Dispatches have this day been received from Lieutenant-General Sir R. Baowtaawch dated Candy, in Ceylon, the 25th February, 1815. Oa the Ist Feb ruary,after overcoming great difficulties, principally in provisioning the troops of the first and second divisions finder the command of Majm Hoox and Lieutenant-Colonel O'Coxsecr., reached the loot of the Balain Mountains, on the great read leading to the City of Candy. The post commanding the pass through the mountains was taken on the 2J, after . a stifling opposition, and on the 3.1 a Fort still further in advance, was taken possession of by the the lit division, without loss on the 10th, and the , army again moved forward, reached the great river of Mubavilliganga, three miles distant from Candy, when it was first learnt that the King and his adherents had abandoned his capital, and . the defences which had been erected to , prevent the passage of the river. " On the 18th Sir R. BROWNRIGO joined the ad. vanes of the army, and on the following day entered the City of Candy and fixed his head-quaiters in 'the, 'Palace. •, On the 19th the King was surrounded by the people of Dombera, the . province into which he fled :1 and after some resistance was, together with two of . his wives, taken prisoner. "Sir R. BROWNitioa speaks most highly of the con duct and discipline of all the troops engaged in the operations." Major Baowinuso, who brought the Dispatches, is the son of the General, and was the bearer of the Royal Standard, Sceptre, and Sword of State, with three smaller Standards, taken on this occasion.— These trophies were conveyed to Carlton House, and presented to the PRINCII Our chief knowledge of The city of Candy is derived from the embassy of Gineral MAODOWALL,dOpUteti by Governor NOM' in the• year 18001 but the informs dss is very &receive.. the Aminciaciot and his suite *aft been admitted by tote' light. It consists of a long straggling street; on the declivitf of a hill, about two miles long, with lesser streets branching Lai. During General Mactrowargs audience, the ionrtiets Were seen below arches on each ski:. of r):e half, some sitting cross-legge d i n si I enoe, some ptostra te. During the conference, which lasted three hours. rose.water was frequently sprinkled round frost cu riously wrought Vessels of gold ; and rrlumes were handed about on salvers of gold and silver fillagree work. To one proposal made on this Occasion, vit. that leave might be given to make a road, and to open a eommunitatidn from Trincomalee to Colurpbo through the territories of the King a little north of Candy, he peremptorily refused . to accede ; but he expressed .his decided aversion front any intercourse or connection existing between his subjects and the Europeans; ptofessing at the same time a desire to Jive on amicable terms with the British, whose power he acknowledged to be far superior tc, that of the Dutch. On January Slit, 1803, General Islacdowal began his march with a considerable force into the Candian territory, and on the 20th of February, alto encountering many difficulties, arrivvd at Candy. The K:ng and his chief Adigar precipitately with. drew, after having set fire to the palace and the teiti• pies. The British troops soon extingu;slied the tire, and melt possemion of the city. Although the Can- . Idians soon afterwards app:ared in considerable force, they were (prickly dispersed after a dreadful slaughter. Before the British General lift Candy, he adopted various measures to secure his new conquests. After some time, viz. in June, 1803, when it was thought ,tranquillity was established, and in the midst of a truce, Candy was attacked by the natives under the command of the first Adigar ; and the commanding officer, whose troops were become unfit ;or duty by the sickness that prevailed among them, was under a necessity of capitulating, and of evacuating the fort, under a solemn stipirlation that the garrison shoed be allowed to proceed, with arms and ammunition, and without molestation, to Trincomalee, and that the sick should also be taken care of. In defiance of this agreement, atter the commanding officer left the fort, all the English soldiers who accompanied hint were treaclnrously murdered. Shortly after this tnassacre, the King at Candy, finding that the &hish force on the island was weak, determined to attack our lons on the coast ; but all his efforts were in effectual; and the British settlements were soon re- stored to security. Candy, or 'Candi, lies in the centre of the country, 80 anileidistant from Colombo, and *bast 160 miles from Trincomalee. N. lat. 7. 18. E. long. 80. 46. Last night the Paris Papers of Saturday and Sun day, and this morning those of Monday, reached us. The King and his Ministers have made the neces eery arrangements for summoning the Eltetoral Col leges, with a view to a new Chamber of Repre*enta tives. No punishment will probably be inflicted on . the Traitors denounced in- the King's Ordunnance of last week. All seem to have escaped. LABEDOYERI4 not the least guilty of the whole per haps, has taken shelter at ltiom in the Auvergne, where his fellow-traitor EXCILMANS has posted him self with 2400 troops, in all likelihood to form a 'ur chin to which the disaffected may resort from all quarters. 'Monsieur CAHNOT is about to snort off the fumes of his revolutionary debauch in Switzerland, where he will of course remain unmolested until the re-appearance of BONAPARTE from St. Helena. The Prpssian and Scotch troops elounil Paris are busy assisting the inhabitants to gather in their hat. vests. Were BONAPARTE'S soldiers ever accustomed to such peaceful labours ? One of the Paris Papers contradicts the report of Davousr's arrival at Paris he too, we suppose, has Made off, to'assist once more in deposing his lawful Sovereign. • It is grate,' stated that the French army is re-or ganizing. For what purpose we would ask ? The taste of the French Princes must be peculiar toalitm selves dike? can suffer any cowardly ruffian to-mount guard over them, who first deserted them and then their own chosen leader at Waterloo, to idle tune 61 Sauve cut pest. Of those celebrated volrizeur: the gentle SOULT and the supple NRY, we hear nothing : they are also, we suppose, 4 1 smoothing their wrinkled fronts" in tile Swiss mountains, with CARNOT. Frankfort Papers to the 26th ult. reached us this morning: they supply us with little or no intellig.l.ce of interest. The Bavarians, we lind, have quietly set ile:naives down in Frahce : their cantonments extend from the Marne to the Seine. At the PRINCeS Council on Tuesday, Viscount Cuirrwron, as Clerk of the Council, presented to die PROWS REGENT a new Great Seal tit England, which is of silver, about eight or nine inches over, of a round Corm, representing the KING an hone back on one side, and on the other side his MAMTV in 'his robes, seated on his throne, surrounded by his Ministers and Attendant: of State. At the close of the Council the - MOUT delivered it to the LORD CHANCELLOR, RS the Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of England. Atter which the seal that has been used as a temporary instrument, and was of brass, since the Great Seal of England was stolen about twelve years ago from the LORD CHANCELLOR'S house, was destroyed in the presence of the Council by obli terating all the impressions on it.
