" Five le Roi 41 The Governor of the First Military Division, (Signed) u Count MAIU3N." NATIONAL GUARDS OF FRANCE. ORDED 03"1111; DAY. " uesday, March 7, ISIS. f 6 A telegraphic dispatch, and a courier, nave an nounced to the King, that Bonaparte having quitted the Island of Elba, has embarked at Cannes, in the department of the Var, with 1000 men, and four pieces of cannon. and has marched towards Gap, across the mountains, the only road open to him, on account of the weakness of his force. An advanced guard, which presented itself at the gates of Antibes, was arrested by the Governor. , g The same dispatches announce that the Gover nors and Commanders of Military Divisions have marched to meet him with their troops and the na tional guards. gg His Royal Highness Monsieur is set out for Lyons, with Marshal Count Gouvion St. Cyr, and several General Officers. , g A proclamation of the King has convoked the Fwo Chambers. An ordinance of the King prescribes the measures which are necessary for repressing such an attempt. The national guards of the kingdom are called upon to concur in the execution of these measures. Consequently, the Prefects, Mayors, &c. ought to order, and the Commanders of the National Guards ought to execute, all those measures which may aid the troops and the gendarmerie, and may he necessary for the maintenance of the public peace s for the protection of persons and property, or for checking factions and traitorous persons. For this purpose, the Commanders, under the authority of the Magistrates, shonld render complete as far as pos bible, the organizatioa of those National Gnards which are on toot, and provisionally organize those, the lists of which are not prepared. At the same time that the King convokes the Chambers, he calls to tht defence of the country and of the throne the army, whose glory is unspotted, and the national guard, which is in fact the nation Under arms, for the protection of its institutions. It is then the interest of the nation itself which the Ka- Quards ought to have in view. 44 Whether the measures adopted by the Congress at Vienna for assuring the peace of Europe drove the man to despair who alone had an interest in disturb ing that peace, by sending him to a greater distance; whether a criminal correspondence had flattered him with the hope of support from some traitors, even Lis partisans know him, and will serve him less from af fection than from hatred and distrust of the establish. ed Government, arising from personal motives of ambition or cupidity. 4 4 Exempt from these passions, strangers to such calculations, the national guards will view with other fyes the re-appearance of this man, who, destroying his own institutions, and under the semblance of a regular Government, exercising the most absolute and arbitrary power, sacrificed the population, the riches, the industry, the commerce of France, to the desire of extending his dominion, and of destroying pll th; dynasties 41 Europe, in order to establish his own family. The re-appearance of this man, in a word, has just given a new and terrible example of the abuse of power and fortune when ambition is without bounds, passion without restraint, and talent without virtue. .He comes forward again when France has just begun to take breath under a moderate Government; When opposite parties, restrained by the Charter, are reduce,: to murmur, and are rendered unable to dts• Curb the public tranquillity ; when the nation is ready to receive from the and the two criambtrs the completion of its institutions ; when alpha so long Shut up is beginning to be a'plied to agriculture, to industry, and external conmterce, .vital a liberality which waits only for the publication of th e b ases which the Congress has adopted for the pe.tee of Europe. He return,, and hii liiilowers are the con scription, the continental blockade, interminable War, arbitrary power, and public discredit, preceded by vengeance and civil war. Does he hiTe that France will again submit to his yoke, again serve his pas; sions, again lighr for cell years, and pour forth her blood dad treasure to satisfy the enmities and ambi tion of a solit..ry individ l ? floes be think that the nation wil 'Lot rvil.ct on its interc , ls, its dignity, and on the general intetest of Europe, which corn. blued to overthrow him, wrsich is still under arin , arranging at the Congtess the fate of so many na tions, and which will not allow him to resume power ler g as fatal to the greittes tin ones as to least repullics •• It is 1./oe . for thin man to learn t . tlmt fetters ma; • lie itnOtiPhaNnrve strr linemen iiiittaii . - -"me it is exalted by militee? lumen, bet that the opinion of si-peopler even after they are subjugated, cannot he raved with impunity, and that they can never again he subjected to that yoke which opinion more than force has for ever broken. " Even those who were most scrupulous in their fidelity to their oaths to the Emperor, but who were true Frenchmen in their hearts,. have for ever aban rd oned a man who has abandoned himself. Bonaparte in France is now no more than en adventurer. 4 The King, our Cuuntry, and the Charter,' are the only rallying cries of Frenchmen. The Minister of State, MajorCeneral of the 1 National Guards, Commander in Chief of the I National Guard of Paris, (Signed) " COUNT DESSOLC." ADDRESS 6F THE COURT OF CASSATION. 46 SIRE —This is the moment in which your Ma jesty.is on the point of being recompensed for all the indefatigable cares with %Inch you have been occu pied during the last ten months; for all the laborious hours you hate passed, for all the sacrifices you have mad. in such abundance, for the tranquillity of France. It is enough that this tranquillity should alone appear to be threatened, in order that all' Frenchmen should eagerly rally round your Throne, and hasten from one end of the kingdom to the other to mike an avestal, at the feet of your Majesty, of their devotion, their fidelity and their love. Enjoy, Sire, a spectacle so affecting to a heart which, like yours, lungs only to accomplish its wishes for our happiness. . . . " But in the midst of all this union of Wishes, of all these tributes of sentiments, of all this ardency of zeal, which are offered to you, let it be permitted to your Court of Cassation, to congratulate itself on having it in its power to be the first of all your Courts, to renew in your presence the oath of invio lable fidelity to your sacred person, which it pro claimed a few days ago with such satisfaction. It ventures to declare, that it almost regrets that, in the audacious and foolish enterptize which has been so vainly attempted against the security of the State, there is not sufficient danger to confer some value on its devotion. If there were any danger, She, it is not France that would save herself, it is your Majesty who would Save France. It is you alone who constitute her strength, because you constitute all her happiness.— But let your paternal heart, Sire, be assured, there can be no longer any danger to this immense family, whose existence entirely depends upon you. The eternal enemy of France and of the world exerts himself in vain ; he will no longer be able to disturb het repose ; you made that repose indestructable the moment you ascended the Throne of your ancestors. The French have fully evinced that they can have no other Sovacign than one of the descendants of Henry IV. No Icing was ever more dear to them than your Majesty ; none was ever more necessary to them ; all their destinies at this moment rest on your sac•ed head. Give yourself up to them, Sire ; enjoy their confidence, which has no bounds. Live fur them ; all are ready to die for you." • [Here follow the signatures.] . The most recent intelligence relative to Bonaparte is dated Lyons the 7th inst. At that date Bonaparte was still in the environs of Digne, and nobody had joined him: By the march of the different !imps dispatched from various points to attack him, be must have been about that •time completely sur rounded. The tocsin is sounded in all the villages, and the peasants are arming themselves to fall upon him. • • A remarkable circumstance has occurred' which proves that Bonaparte had relied upon the revolt of the people. A vessel laden with arms, belonging to him, entered the port or Antibes on the 2.1 inst. and was immediiiely captured. . . - - . The fellowiim• Oidei of the Day was issued by Lieutcnaat-General Danias to ihe Royal Guard of Paris a The enemy of France. cannot behold, without jealousy and hatred, the confidence and devotion of die nation towards a King who never ceases to labour for the happiness of his people. Our enemies would enslave an army which, after twenty year of glory, yielded without being conquered. They cannot sub due us; they wish to destroy us by means of our. selves, in their endeavours to plunge us in anarchy and civil war. Let us shun those projects which would bring ruin on our beautiful country ; which would involve us in a foreign invasion. Let our union augment our force; let our devotion to our King and our country, secure us against the evils with which these projects would overwhelm us.— k Roi." On the reading of this Order of the Day, the cry so dear to Frenchmen was repeated with the most lively enthusiasm by the officers and soldiers of the guard ; who instantly, and by a spontaneous move ment, cfelivered the following attires: to General Damas : 46 GExERAL—The officers and soldiers of the Royal Guard of Paris, impressed with the sentiments contained in your Order of the Day, entreat of you to lay at the toot of the throne the lively and sincere expression of their love and respectful devotion. 66 To watch over the tranquillity of the capital ; to resist the mad attempts of those who would mis lead the citizens; this is what their duty prescribes to them, and that duty shall be fulfilled. 66 For this they pledge their honours, their gra titude, and the virtues of their legitimate Sovereign. Vive I" MINISTRY OF WAR. ORDER OF 1111 DAY. " SOLDlERS—Bonaparte, that man who so lately ab.licated, before the eyes of all Europe, an usurped power of which he made so fatal a use, has entered upon the soil of France, which he never should have beheld. What does he wish for ? Civil war. Whom does he seek for ? Traitors. Where will he find them ? Is it among those soldiers whom he so often deceived and sacrificed, by converting their valour to the worst of purposes ? Is it in the bosoms of those Families whom his very-name fills with horror? 4 , Bonaparte holds us in such contempt as to think that we could abandon a legitimate and beloved So. vereiga, in order to participate in the fate of a man, who is no better than, an adventuier.• The madman thinks this; and his last act of insanity confirms it: " Soldiers—the French army is the braveSt in Eu rope; it will a l s o b e the midi t Etithltd. 1.1.1. tic rally mond the banner of the.4ly, at the Voice die "fa- . moment of yitu re ,-. re, is marked by some good seJin►ent towards the" French —by some action guar 1 tier bit refit, this watt* ishotito-ei thesis toes of the Great Henry, He has himself marked out the duties which you are to fulfil.

CHAMBER OF 'THE DEPUTIES OF THE DEPART- M EN rs. On Wednesday, the Bth of March, the Deputies being assembled about two o'clock, the President made the following report : The President felt himself bound to fulfil the mission on which you sent him ; he thus addressed the King— ' Stne—ln consequence of the Royal Proclama tion for convoking the Chambers, the Deputies who were in Paris spontaneously assembled. Tile first feeling of their hearts, sensibly affected by this new testimony of the confidence reposed in them by your Majesty; was that of gratitude. They have been filled with confidence, Sire, by the measures you have ordered to be taken against a banished foreigner; and their uanimons voices, in expressing their fidelity and devotion, have charged the President of the Chamber immediately to convey the first expression of ihe s•+me to your Majesty." The King received the President with his accus. toured serenity. The following are the words which he was pleased to address to.me : 44 I am sensible of this demonstration of the anti. ments of the Chamber of which you are the organ: I wait with confidence fur the arrival of the Deputies of the departments, and I depend on their fidelity as well as that of all Frenchmen." The Assembly, composed of seventy Deputies, ex pressed their satisfaction at the report which was made to them, and requested the President to cause it to be inscrted in the i►f;niteur, and other journals. The Deputies will continue their meeting to.morrow ; they hope to be very numerous. They expect that, in or der to be able to open their Sittings, the number pre seribed by their regulations will be complete. [FROM THE MINOR JOURNALS.] PARIS, MARCH 8. Frigates have sailed from Toulon to capture the vessels on board of which Bonaparte and his partisans were conveyed from Elba, and to cut off all possibi lity of his escaping by sea. We have this instant received the following in telligence : _lg Maneilles. March 4. N The news of Bonaparte's landing did not reach this City until yesterday, and although doubts are still entertained of the fact, the white standard and colours are waving in every part of the town. Shouts of lire le Rol ! are constantly heard in all quarters. The whole of the National Guards have volunteered their services, and entreated permission to march.— Marshal Massena has ordered two reginsenta to march in the direction of Digne." All the Foreign Ministers were yesterday intro duced to the King. - He addressed them in the fol lowing terms: • 1 4 Write to your respective Courts, inform them that I am in good health, and that the mad enter. prize of this man will no more disturb the tranquillity of Europe than it has disturbed mine." All his Majesty's Ministers meet twice every day at Count de Blacas's, Minister of the King's Household. When the Duke de Berri left the Thuilleries yes terday morning on horseback, he was surrounded by a vast multitude, who rent the air with acclamations of ig Long live the King !—Lftng live our Princes !" Several addressed his Royal Highness, exclaiming -44 The King and his people are inseparable. Tell his Majesty that our hearts belong to him, and that he can place the fullest reliance on our love-and fidelity." PARIS, MARCf i 9. • Bonaparte, on his arrival, distributed along the ' coast two Proclamations, one addressed to the army, the other to the French people. They are dated Antibes, the gates of which were s:lut against him, and where he relied upon being received. A dispatch of M. Fourier, the Mayor of Grenoble, dated the 4th instant, states that General Marchand having taken every necessary measure for the defence of the place, had dispatched part of the garrison against Bonaparte, and that it was his intention to cut off his communication by the road to Lyons. The Duke de Valentittois, Peer of France. was on his way to take possession of the Principality of Monaco, when ha was taken prisoner, and brought before the Commander-in-Chief, who released him about three hours after, having stolen his horses. It cannot be believed that General Bertrand is with Bonaparte, as this General had transmitted to his Majesty, by the hands of a Peer of France, his I oath of fidelity about fifteen days ago. We understand, that both the moths, auti sister of Bonaparte were totally unacquainted with his depar ture, annave been deeply afflicted by it. Joseph Bonaparte is said to have addressed a letter to the King, supplicating his Majesty to name a place for his retirement until it may be deemed pro per to make a new arrangement on that subject. The King is stated to have appointed the Baron Corsin, who conducted himself so well at Antibes,l Commandant of the Legion of Honour and to have conferred on him a superior military rank. The National Cuard and the garrison of Paris will be reviewed this day by his Majesty in the square of the Carousel. The Chamber of Pecrs will meet to•clay at two o'clock. The Duke de Berri visited yesterday the barracks and different quarters of the garrison of Paris. • The Sardinian Minister received, yesterday, dis , patches from the King of Sardinia, dated Genoa, the evening of the Sd in st . Hi s M a j esty h a d then heard of Bonaparte's escape, and issued the strictest orders for his apprehension, should he approach the Sardi- nian territory either by land or by sea. The last accounts from Naples, dated the 16th ult. state, that Murat was still there, unemployed in pre parations fur any military movement. PARIS, MARCH 9. Bonaparte had secured to himself ups some parts of the coast of the Mediterranean means of intim-ma. tion which but ill auswercd the calculations of his ambition. Bands of dqsert e i s , whir were apprised of his spiedy arrival, had offered to enter under the co lourvot the Ling, on certain conditions, which excl. !ed suspicion. Instead of giving them arms which - I Ordsb.d let, those tali hid faiheir pt sseek e 'taken from them, and instead of sending then to garrisons which they wished to enter, they were persed in different points, so of to put it out of tht power to do any mischief. •• The ordinance of his Majesty, which puts B naparte out of the protection of theiaws, will op er a as a clap of thunder upon him, which he little e petted ; because, he thought that the Governrue was paralysed by its moderation and indulgence., a: intimidated by the phantoms which certain %trite: in the pay of the dethroned Usurper ende:tvou,,:d raise up.

PARIS, M VRCII A telegraphic dispatch announces that M msEem arrived in good health at Lyons in the morning c! the Bth. Count Roger Dumas preceded his Royal • 'lr Highness twelve hours. They found a ll th e trocri. and inhabitants united in one common sentiment o! devotion and fidElity, and of which they received t 1:: most distinguished proofs. A letter addressed to the Government and dated from Gap, in the evening of the. s►h, announces that Bonaparte was that night at Piet, two leagues frog Sisteron. His followers gradually diminished from several of them remaining or being surprised in the villages. The Marechal de Champ Rost°Lam had united all the brigades of gendarmerie in the neigh• bourhood to the little garrison of Gap, and had posted the whole in such a way as to enable them act in concert with the garrison of EmbrAn. The troops forming the garrison of ?dris, the V. Legions of Nationa' Guards, .find the 13th legion, composing the cavalr... of these guards, met to•d . iy a: noon in the Plat !t du Carousel and in the Cuort•yar,l of the Thuiller;es. The Doc d accnmpani?d by Generals Counts M.,7-,on and Des.'les, and a nc• cams Staff, passed the troops under review. At the instant when the Prince appeared in front of the lines, shouts of 44 Vive le Itni !" and ' ti''ve le Dec de Berri!" rent the air : a crowd of int:abitauts pressej among the battalions and repeated the same accla mations. While the Prince was reviewing the lines, the King appeared at the Grand Balcony,' when the shouts were redoubled. The troops then de:iled before his Majesty, and shouted with an entl.usiasm which it is impossible to describe. His Majesty answered these effusions of loyalty with cc.rresponding expressions of satisfaction. The columns had scarcely left the ground when an immense crowd burst through the gates of the Louvre and made a forcible irruption into the courtyard of the Castle, where the Duc de Berri still remained with his Staff gilder the King's balcony, all l:and3 were immediately, extended, and every hat waswirgd towards the balcony.. gym?. effort to drown the shouts of Vive le Roy, and Vive fa Famine Royale, was in vain, until the.

The King having withdrawn amidst these nth• mations. the populace pressed around the horse of 'ha Duc de Berri, so as to force him from the middle Pavilion to that of Marsan. A crowd of citizens of all classes pressed :Intend the Prince, and seizing his hands, renewed the oaths of fidelity anll attachment which are engraved on the hearts of all Frenchmen.
