We have Paris Papers of Sunday list now before us—they are filled with interesting matter. Our illus. trious Hero the Duke of WELt.txotow, has been re ' ceived at Paris with marks of public approbation, almost equal to those with which his Grace may ex pect to be received when he appears again among his grateful countrymen. We !rave selected as usual some entertaining anec dotes respecting BONAPARTE. His life was freqUently in jeopardy, and the same talents which saved him in Russia from .the fury of the Cossacks, were succes fully exerted—he retains all the qualities of an expert Harlequin ; and the devices which saved him on his journey to the toast were of his own invention. The inhabitants of Elba, it is said, refuse to receive him. The Moeitsur, besides the Royal Decrees which we have noticed, contains the resignation of two or three Members Of the Senate. Two of these are foreigners, one an Italian and the other a Spaniard, and they assign as a cause of their abdication, the present state of affairs iu their respective countries : " PARIS, MAY B. To•day thi King reviewed the whole of the 1414- otieinaL Guards, in the Champ de Mars, and presented every legion with a stand of colours. 46 Yesterday Monsieur, accompanied- by the Duc de Berri, reviewed, in the Courts of the Thuilleriesahe Sth, 9th. 10th and 12th legions of the National Guards. His Royal Highness graciously received-a great num ber of petitions in passing through the ranks. The Duc de Berri, with amazing goodness, frequently an ticipated the wishes of the petitioners, by taking their papers from them and.handing them to his father.— The Officers were presented with the white ribband and the fleurs-de-lis, as an additional decoration. 66 The Duc de Berri visited the OPera the night before last, accompanied by the Duke of %Vellington : the piece was Colinette a la Carr, and the illustrious visitors arrived when the chorus of Amon: a la Sand de le brave Seigneur was being sung. The au dience immediately made the application, and drowned the voices of the performers with cries of 4 Vise Wellington !' The Hero was afterwards con ducted to his carriage amidst unitarsal acclamations ...r , atamilar ascription. =,- --- %--- ... 4 . 4 . Last night the Emperor of Austria witnessed the representation of Figaro, at the Theatre Odeon, and was greeted with shouts of 6 Vive l'Empereur d'Auttielie: I "''The Duke of Wellington, with Lord and Lady Clittterearsh, were also present, and were received by the aadier.ce in a similar manner. V 44 It is said that the Duke of Wellington has Seen naiitiaated Ambassador at the Court of France. a The Archduchess Maria Louisa ,Ratted through Sciaafthausen on the Sd instant. - 0 General Girard will set out for Harnburgh, to take the command of the French troops there, and 62 brfogribena * home. . 0 , The fine regiment of dragoons of the Empress * balm solicited permission to be called; in future; the Dragons de Berri. " . The statue of Bonaparte, It the Court of the Potel de Vale has been taken down, and that of Louis XIV. substituted. MORE ANECDOTES OF BONAPARTE. K We are assured (says the Gaseue de France) that the English Commissary, Colonel Campbell, who has charge of Boaapartei has been obliged to go to the Islani of Elba before him, to prepare the inhabitants for receiving him. It would appear that they are d.termined to make wine resistance against a trans fer in which they have not been consulted, but we I hope the EngEshCommissary wilt allay the ferment: ' " A private letter ..from Avignon, dated on the' 90th ale. contains a fact which ought to be added to the detaiis which we hive ilrendy published respect ing Bonaparte's jofirney. As' he was very much , agitated and terrified at the dangers which beset him, he disguised himself in the manner which we have already described; but he canted his precaution far ther. He did not wish to remain in the carriage, and yet he was aware that he must necessarily form part of the cavalcade. To reconcile every thing be sig. grated the idea of hisiown accord of disguising a Courier, named Vernet, as the great Bonaparte, and this man took his place in the carriage. This person elsictly heard the most (hotting imprecations uttered ) avian his master ; but very luckily escaped with no ether outrage than insults a$ curses. 0 A Gentleman who has arrived from the South i of France, and who met the escort of Bonaparte, when changing horses, states, that it was truly a frightful spectacle. The populace assembled round his carriage, and, listening only to the impulses of i hatred and vengeance, addressed a thousand re ' .7*aches to him, threatening hirn with death, and ~.lkttempting to seize his person. On on e occasion, the i a military force which accompanied him was over. powered by the mob. At length a foreign General who attended him harangued the multitude : he told them, 1 that it was better to allow the Tyrant to live because an instant death would deliver him from all his ti °utiles ; ishereas he would suffer a thousand deaths in the recollection of his crimes,' &c. &c.— During this speech the horses were changed, and the carriage was allowed to proceed. Bonaparte, whets he found he was . quite safe from this new danger, turned towards his preserver, and said to him —' I thank you, General !—I heard all you said—you spoke like a God r 4 , When he came to Rapheau, he was offered di ther a French or English frigate to convey him to • Elba, but he preferred the latter. 4 ' One of tie very few Senators who, under the regime of Bmaparte, reserved the right of hazarding some useful truth, said to him, a few days after his return from Moscow, when speaking of a most obnoxious _decree which the despot wished the Senate to sub scribe, For GOD'S sake, Sire, propose something to us which we may be permitted to reject—this will keep up appearances.'—Bonaparte paid no regard to this hint lest the example should be followed on other occasions. ROYAL DECREES. FROM THE MONiTEUR Of BTH MAY. " Louis, by the Grace of Goo, Ste. • " The Senate and Legislative Body are convoked for the 31st of May, instead of the 10th of June, as stated in our Declaration of the 2d instant.

" VIENNA, APRIL 27. 4 g From Constantinople we learn that M. Italinski Ambassador from Russia to the Porte, has at length,, alter a residence of two years, obtained a particular audience of the Grand Vizier. He was received with .41 the honours due to his ez4ted station. as the Mi bitter of a great Power." “ BREMEN, APRIL 27. " Baron tinker, who was sent to London by the Norwegians, has returned nithout effecting the ob ject of-his" mission., The English Ministry declared to him that Norway had been formally ceded by Denmark to Sweden, and that England being in relations of amity with these two States, she could not favour any arrangement which should be an ob stacle to the execution of this cession." ' " BRESLAU, APRIL 23. • " On the 17th instant the French Garrison of Glogau marched out; and the blockading caps, con sisting id Prussians and Russians, marched in amidst the acclamations of the inhabitants." " CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 26. " The Grand Vizier, on the 12th insc. gave the first formal audience to the new Ambassador Irom .Persia, nria Itiza•Chan, who lately arrived from Teheran. 4 , The corps of Janizaries,which lately returned to the Capital, has exhibited fresh symptoms of the tur bulent spirit for which they have been always famous. One of their Officers, who distinguished himself in the last revolution at Constantinople, has been seized in his house and strangled, without trial. Others have been removed." " AUGSBURG, APRIL 30. 46 Letters from Venice of the 20th state, the arrival there of Commissaries front the Allied Sovereigns.— English vessels were already in the harbour, and Ans. irian troops in the town. The Venetian: are over• whelmed with joy at the happy changes which have taken place, and every article of provisions instandy fell considerably. The statue of Bonaparte as quietly removed tiering the night, that no popular, commotion might arise next day. 44 Letters from Ancona state, that great distur bances prevail there in consequence of the den:spina tion of the people not to submit to a French*Wove reign. BOLIRDEAUX, MAY 2. I . ea Two Eiglish sailors, guilty cf a serious crimes were a lew days ago condemned to be shot ; and yes terday incrning the English and Portuguese troops were drawn up to see the sentence executed. The people of Bourdeaux crouded to the spot. Already the awful circle was formed, and sentence on the point of being executed, when a croud of people threw themselves between the culprits and those who were ready to fire, and solicited their pardon from Lord Dalhousie, intreating that a single drop of Eng lish blood might nut be shed in their City.- 6, It is on a ccount of the city of Bourdeaux alone that I par don thele criminals," said his Lordship. The two nen were. immediately replaced in the ranks, amid the public acclamations. A complete Antriallicass revolution is spreading aver Italy. Enoesa BEAUHARNOIS has been obliged to decamp from Mantua. In a Proclamation, dated an the 26th ult. atter alluding to the insurrection at Milan, he civilly takes leave, under the pretext of " New political arrangements.". He has gone to Munich to his wife, who is a Bavarian Princess. It will be MURAT'S turn next—from t e following article in the Journal dr: Debut:, it is e.side it that all is not quite so franquili at Naples as the friends of the Napolean Dynesty could wish : 44 For some days reports have been circulated in Paris, that the public tranquillity of Naples has been disturbed. The German Journals seem to give some countenance to these rumours. There are letters,' however, from Naples, dated 27th April, which state, that the most profound calm reigned there, and that the King was expected every mommt from his head- quarters, which were at Bologna on the 25th." The French Garrison of Mentz is in a state of in surrection, occasioned by one of their Officers (whom they have arrested) having embezzled their pay. An article from Frankfort expressly contradicts the report of a certain Prince in the North being about to resign in favour of the son of GUSTAVUS IV. A most spirited debate took place last night in the House of Lords on the subject of the annexation of Norway to Sweden. It was decided by a very large majoritynhat Great Britain had no right to interfere. IndecJ, it appeared pretty evident from the speeches ,of Ministers, whose information must of course be the most extensive on the subject, that the discontents of the Norwegians were greatly exaggerated, and that we have to thank the secret instigations of the Danish Cabinet, as well as the gross misconduct of Prince CHRISTIAN FREDERICK Of DENMARK. for the shew of resistance which the Norwegians have made. While upon the subject of the recent transfers of Sovereignty, why, we would ask, are the inhabitants of the Island of Elba to be transferred as heir-looms to BONAPARTE, in direct contradiction to their wishes They were the first victims of his cruelty during his ferocious campaign in Italy, and the recollection of their suffering is still vivid among them. What crimes have they committed that the Tyrant, whom every other nation has cast out, should be forced upon them ? Even the Island of Corsica has rejected him and petitioned for annexation to France under the Boy 'moss. What a moment is the present ! AU the Powers of Europe engaged in active consultation to establish such a Basis of peace and social order as may esta blish the permanent repose and security of , their re spective States, considered as component parts of sne great family. How awful the responsibility im posed on those who from rank or office are placed in circumstances which give them influential power in the present crisis ! The events of the last twenty five years have furnished many useful lessons to Statesmen, if they have only wisdom to turn them to a proper account. How many feudal and monkish absurdities, which had grown up Kith rT been so deeply engrafted into their constitutions as to deter any sober statesman from attempting their hasty eradication, although evidently injurious to the rights of legitimate Sovereigns, and inimical to national independence, have been swept away in the political earthquake which, in its concussion, subverted thrones and rooted up many excellent civil institutions ? In restoring the latter, let care be taken to avoid embo dying any of the former in the new edifice. For many ages wise statesmen had to regret the , chains imposed upon them in the dark ages by am bitious ecclesiastics. Fier since the era of the re formation, they have been occupied in a gradual restoration of the usurped rights of mankind—but touching the old and tottering fabric With trembling hinds., Bad men have quickly effected for them what they had not the boldness to dare : let wise and good men benefit by the circumstance. The Governments of- independent States should have no masteri. The wisest code which the world has seen is decieive on this point," 14 ALL be :abject to the Higher Power: :"—neither agisitlts nor ecclesias tics of any description are excepted.- 44 Vach them to he :died to Principalities and Power:, to oiey Magi:train —to render honour to whom honour is due."--Should statesmen again forge fetters for themselves and their subjects, it requires no prophetic spirit to predict the fate that awaits them." Messrs. HUGHES and, Mitutsowix are arrived at Harwich, from Gottenburgh, with dispatches from Messrs. CLAY and RUSSELL, to Messrs. GALLATIN . and BAatt.tao. They were detained at Harwich foe want of passports. BATTLit Of TouLousx.=---The following Official Communication, to the Howse of Commons, suffi ciently explains the cause of this Battle, and com pletely removes all blame from both the English and French Commanders : " Mgatoassinou :-I.ord CASTLIIRIAOII mentions, in a let• ter, dated Paris, May 5, that Colonel Cootta and Colonel Sr. Si.
