I I I i M. Andre de Trementils, was amongst theyednie by which he was surrounded. Emboldened by the affa bility of this Sovereign, he ventured to address hint in these words : 'What a day of triumph for you, Site I But does your' Majesty bring us peace?" , 4 Yes," answered the magnani mous Alexander, " yes, peace, peace ! the friendship and the happiness of the French are the only triumphs that I wish for." The voice of his Maj e sty then assumed so tender an expression, that the young man could no longer resist the effusion of his sensibility, and several times kissed the hands of the monarch. Bonaparte had expressly ordered the defence of ,Paris by all possible means. He wished the seftets to te barricadoed and unpaved ; that loop-holes should Ifse made in all the houses in the northern division of the city; that stones, logs of wood, and boiling oil should be thrown from the windows ; that in case the northern part of the city should be forced, they should retire to the southern part : that mines should be placed in advance under the bridges to blow them up ; that the other bank should be defended in the s one manner as the northern part, and that the city w a s not to yield until perfectly destroyed. He promised af terwards to return and ensure our safety, probably by blowing up the magazine of Grenelle. Letters from Blois inform us of a homi which has been played off at that town. A Proclamation has been published by torch-light, signed Muntalivet, Clarke, Mole, and consorts, which declares the City of Paris out of the law ; promises the soldiers of Bo naparte six hours pillage ; and announces that he is itnarchiez against that rebel city at the head of 150,000 men.. These gentlemen have been keeping the car- Diva' ih the holy week. The following is the speech addressed by Mr. Ch. tacretelle, President of the Institute of France, to his ia j 'eety the Emperor of Russia 41 &as—Dining the long series of wars into which the ambition of one man plunged us, the Institute of France has been constantly at peace, and in an ami cable intercourse with the men of letters, the artists of Europe. We have not despaired of he progress of civilization. But during this time, Sire, aided by your august Allies, by the worthy successor of those two philosophical Emperors Joseph rind .Leopold, by the worthy heir of the great Frederick, by the Prince Regent of England, and the English nation, you mere iaboUring amid the din of arms, in bringing to perfection social bunevolencr, the object of the wishes of all our sages. Never did this benevolence accom plish such miracles, but never did it emanate from more noble hearts. Attempts had been made to per suade us, Sire, that when a conqueror, you would not spare the monuments of art among us. Sire, we never believed it. You do not place your glory in ' destroymg. Our monuments are preserved. This benefit, so precious to the iiistitive, almost vanished before such benefits as no Sovereign ever dispensed to the world. You have saved Paris and France.— With our liberty we recover the King whom our wishes tailed for. 46 We were alivieys a proud nation, we shall be come spin art affectionate nation: The love of let ters has been to the King whom we now proclaim, what it has been, Sire, to your noble soul. Letters, which has supported him in adversity, will counsel burn urn the throne. We will soften by our cares the remembrance of his past pains, as he will alle• viate our too recent misfortunes. We shall respect his power; the heir of St. Louis and Henry /V. will know hoseeto stop at those wise boundaries of powerl which are frequently its support. A father is never better received among his family than when it has been very unfortunate during his silence. " These words, Sire, redouble o emotion ' • our happiness is your benefit, your conquest. You have taught heroes a new way to triumph. People ale easily deceived in respect to greatness ; the misfor tunes of the world have too often attested this truth ; but what heart can be deceived in respect to magna nimity ? Henceforward people will distrust all ad. elliratiOn that is accompanied ty terror. Admiration cannot be well founded but when it is mingled with love. Ours is very pure; we do not praise, Sire, we Vies's." ThZ proprietors of several journals hid been strip ped of the whole, or part of their property, Sy Bona parte'a paid s the Joirnal de I'EmJrire has recovered its rigbts by a decree of the Provisional Governm e nt ; the btlitks will soon recover their's. The tyranny of Bonaparte 'extended W all kinds of property ; nothing escaped his avarice and cupidity ; he coveted every thing, he sited every thing; the most sacred institu tions were not secured from his usurpations. One of the most useful and prosperous estabiish- Issents in Paris was that of Saint Perrine, for old pet:). pie of 70, of both sexes ; it was managed with eq u al prudence, economy, and liberality ; and from eleven persons with which it begin, it had in seven or eight years increased to 220, wholly by the vigilant ma nagement of its founders. Well, the same man who said "there are in France some happy people who live o'n" their estates with 30 or 40,000 francs per - ann. I shall get at them." This man etivie.l the happiness of the old people at Saiat Perrine, and the founder of the establishment the honour of having erected it. He took it from him'Without discussing his rights or re garding his remonstrances, turned it into an hospital, and reduced to distress persors, many of whom were ctmnetted with the first families in France ; took from trim even his fui niture, his plate, his income in go vernment securities, and turned him out of a house which Le kited for his own abode. The twinder had the dargercus courage to com• plain. He was persecuted in various ways, he wxs without resources, and being ill, was refu‘vd a bed in an to.uital—he who had founded one for 200 victims f the revolution. It was not enough for the tyrant. Durhayle was talcs from the asylum a friend had br !Forded him, and ; ri‘ ately thrown into prison, upon straw, with no food except bread and water ; and had not the victorous and prot - ecting arms of the Allies revenged humanity, and rc,Yered Feance to liberty and justice, we cannet say what fate was in reserve for him.—Journal de Faris, April M. A Mail arrired yesterday-itGm St. Sebastian's, but it brings no intellige:ice of importance. A pri vate letter states, that the Matrons of WELLINC:TON Vas preparing to set off for Paris, in consequence of an invitation Trout the Emperor ALL aminin. A letter from Bilboa, dated.

Mr. CANNING is to be First Lord of the Admiralty. A Dutch Mail arrived this morning. it announces the important fact of the Garrisons of Antwerp and Bergen•op-Zoom having declared for Lours XVIII. As a matter of course all hostilities in that quarter instantly ceased ; the Texel fleet having also surren dered. The whole island of Walcheren is also studded with Bounnow The Cnow! PRINCE of SWEDEN passed through Brussels, on his way to Paris, on the 11th inst. The Dutch Papers also contains most spirited Pro clamation from Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK to the people of Italy, which has been attended with the best effects: BEALIIIARNOIS has evacuated the whole line of the Po with his army. Lord \V. BENTINCiC4 Proclamation calls upon the Italians to shake off the yoke of BONAPARTE. We fear that we shall have to .deplore the unne cessary loss of many valuable lives in the armies, now in the South of France, under t!ie respective com mands of Lord WELLINGTON and Marshal Socur. His Lordship's last d:spatchs were ("ated on the Ist instant, but, according to the snbj , itled intelligence from Liverpool, a considerable action, was fought on the 4th instant. We also subjoin a communication from Dieppe, the contents of which, vee are sorry to add, are not at variance with the report received at Liverpool from Bilboa : LIVERPOOL, APRIL Ic, 181 4. " The Jane, Captain STRIPPLING, who his arrived this day from Bilboa, brings an account that a great battle was fought, on the 4th instant, near Tholouse, between the armies of Lord WELLINCTON and Mar shal SOULT, in which the army of tl:e tatter was nearly annihilated. Immedi•.ately after the engne ment, five thousand French troops came over to Lord WELLENoros." " DIEPPE, Eriday Morning, April 15. 6 ' Our Commissioner, M. BE.URIN, has just received inn Ili gence that Mar.hal SoeLT, un receiving information of the abdi cation of NAPOLEON BON APAR TE, had declare! hie willingness to obey the orders al the Provisional •Govereinseat. " Great pains ha i been taken by the emissaries of rot:Ant P.Te to keep from the knowledge of the Marshal until the very last moment, the great events which had taken place in Parrs. This inhuman policy has caused an unnecessary effusion of •' Several affairs had taken place beve et n the are a• of the Marshal, and that under the order.; of Field- Marshal Wt.t.- LINGTON. " In a Proclamation to his soldiers, hfarstial Scout r says, that the Emperor having abdicated the Throne, both honour and duty prescribe their submis , lon to thu Provisional Government. " Marshal SVCIIET was noon head-quarters. " Meetings of the Nubility, Magistrates, and inhabitants, are taking place in all the departments, 431 voting Addresses of Con gratulation." When M. de NOAILLE3 left Paris on Wednesday night, BONAPARTE was still at Fontainblean, and it was said that Bitumien, MARKT, Cart.iscounT, and about 29.000 French troops were with him; but that they were surrounded by a cordon of the Allies, dou ble the number in strength. We received the following Letter this morning : " DOVER, APRIL 17. " The Marquis de MAISONFORT embarked in a boat yesterday afternoon for Calais, and in the even ing the Count Nouniu.es arrived from Calais, with dispatches from the Provisional Government for Louts XVIII. When he lett Paris the greatest tran quillity prevailed, and every one anxious for the arri• val of his most Christian MAJESTY. BONAPARTE was still at Fontaiubleau. No less than four citrtiages were shipped yesterday for Calais. Captain MAscyf's bye-boat sailed last evening with a great many pas sengers. A Messenger embarked this morning fur Calais, with dispatches, and a vessel arrived from Dunkirk with some passengers. The Prince de TREMOUILLE is also arrived, and gone to London." Paris Papers to the 14th inst. reached town on Sa. tutday night, containing a long account of the en. trance of MoNsiEtnt into Pali), on the 12th. 'Mae tact was also stated in a dispatch from Lord CasnE REAGII. an extract of which was published on Satur turday, in a Supplementary Gazette. His Royal High ness appears to have been received with great enthu siasm by the people. It having been thought expedient that the ceremony should be purely French, the Allied Sovereigns did not attend, nor did any of their troops join the pro cession. Lord CASTLEREAGH, however, met his Royal Highness at the barrier, and accompanied him into Pam, together with the whole of the British Mission now there ; presenting the novel spectacle of a Bri tish Secretary of State attending the Representative of the KING of FItANCE on his triumphal entrance into Paris, in company with the Marshals Nay, MAR MONT, &c. who so lately held the principal commands Under BubIAPAIITE. The emperor of AVSTRIA was on his way to Paris. Marshals Meanest and MONCZY, together with others, had signified their adherence to the new Con stitution. ..,. . •1 .. i'NE BOURBONS. \ ~...... It is reported that this august Family will arrive in town to-morrow. They will be met at Uxbridge by the PRINCE REGENT and the Royal eariiages, and gteat preparations are making on the whole line of read to Hartwell to receive Louts XVIII. and his suite, with due honours. They will take up their residence, as we already stated, at Grillon's Hotel, Albemarle-street. The arrangements tor conveying his Masesrr to his own country have been made :—Nine sail of the line are to accompany him—five English and four Russian :—The Duke of CLARENCE to have the com mand of the whole. Yesterday, at half•past twelve o'clock, the Duchess of Oldenburg set off for Richmond Park. After walking on the terrace, she proceeded to Kew-gardens, and returned to Pulteney Hotel about half-past four o'clock. Shortly afterwards she went with her son, Prince ALEXANDER, to visit the Princess CHAR- LOT It. The Archduchess MARIA LoutsA, it is now said, does not accoMpany BOVAPARTE to Elba, but retires to Guastalla, in Italy, where sl:e will reside, and take the title of Archduchess of GuAsTALLA. It seems probable that a formal divorce will, at no distant pe- riod, be pronounced between them. Savannah Papers to the end of February have been received, and letters from the United States by a ship from Amelia Island, which has been forty-two dap on its voyage. The embargo was s.l strict, that car goes could not be procured at the island, and seven or eight ships had on.tl►at account proceeded to the Havannah in ballast. MAnISONN Gov!rnment was making every effort to raise a military force, with the chimericll view of conquering Canada. The bounty offered to recrititc for the American army had been raised to 121 dol. lars per man. Letters hive been received from Bremen and M tona to the 9th, and - Trom Heligoland to the 1:;th ilstant, with Altona Pipers to the Sill. The Bremen Nwr of the 7th annminces in thiee or four lines, signed by two Prus , ,ian plornatic Agents, the occu pation of Paris by the Allis. We have the satisfac tion to and, by the accounts from Altena, that no more blood had been , he ..in any contest with the French garrison at Film'butgh. The severity of DAVOUST had been in n' respect relaxed, and at tempts had been made by hint permanently to oh- szrtict the navigation of the Elbe, by sinking vessels and material_ in siwations initahle to that injuriotis purpose. Persons continued liamburgli. and in that attempt received little or no opposition from the military. ~ ! • NVe have also Letters from Lubec, Carlscrona, Carlshams and Copenhagen, .1311 P latter to the 2Gth tilt. In the ciqnmurtications froth tho Dan;sli capital, it is mentioned as a repott that nine:- CHUISTIAN had made an arrangement with Gent ral Evsex, who had been appointed Swedish Governor-General of Norway. The evacuation of that kingdom by the Danes was expected to take place very soon. Accondts reached town yesterday of the capitula tion of attend onyriday last, on which day the white slag was hoisted. It was generally believed that Antwerp.also had surrendered. A Gentleman ;list returned . from m excursion tt states, that all kinds of provisions are plenti. fill and cheap t!iere. The host beef and mutton is sold at sd. per lb. bread 111 per lb. ; poultry and eggs in a superabundance. The inhabitants had given themselves tip to rejoicings. The few persons who formerly spoke Engli.h, had in a great measure forgotten it, owing to the long interval of intercourse between the two countries. THE PAntc.—Hyde Park, yesterday, was better at tended than we expected to find it. Owing to the showery state of the weather the pedestrian groupes were not numerous ; and the walk to Kensinton gardens altogether deserted by BeLes r f das!ting ex terior. The carriages formed a double line, extending from Cumberland-gateto the Marquis of WELLestliv's wall, on one side, 'and, from Piccadiily to the Bar racks on the other. This WAS at four o'clock. In the cavalcade we observed The Duchass of 011enburgh and suite; the Russian Ambas• sailor and his accomplished Countess; the Austrian Minister altl a party ; Duchesses of outland, Montrose, Leeds ; IVlarCtionese. ot Camden, Lansdowne, Bath, Dou;slas, Weill...ley, 1 - 41.2 f -oft ; Countesses of Breadalhatie, Haralwicke, Sel;on, tvlacclesiseld, Manvt-rs, and Dowczer of Clonmell ; Ladies Smith Burgess, Saltoun, Duncombe, Wilford, XV. Gordon, Lanitord, AlvaLley, Grantham ; Mistresses Beaumont, Vatte•an, Welleslay Pole, Chaplin, Thomson, Walpole, Bouvcrie, !Methuen, thitcoff,,ise, and Frceniantle. KING'S ' i ' llEATllE.—Saturday evening CimArtosA's erions Opera Gli Orem) rd i Curitzj, was repeated at this Theatre, and Signor MAl!rxxiii appeared for the second time in this country, in the character of Curiazio. 1k executed the recitatives and airs allotted to that character with considerable sweetness and ac curacy, and was particularly soccessful in the beauti lid air, " Que.& pundie lenere," and in the duet with Signor Tit ANlEvzarst at the termination of .tie tirst act.. Though his powers do not permit him to rank very high in the vocal scale, he has the merit of being an agreeable singer, but his action is constrained, and gives nothing to the eye to compensate fur any want which may be felt by the ear. Signor TRANIEZZANI and Madame FERLENDIS acted, as well as sung, their parts, with great feeling and animation. Tnasiez zam's action, during the execution of that part of the recitative, beginn°ng " Tao cnmmetie all urea," and the beautiful air which follows it, was peculiarly graceful and appropriate. During the last act also, which consists wholly of recitative, admirably adapted to the dialogue, he and Madame FErtLesras were de servedly applauded. The new Divertisement and Ballet received general approbation. The House was well filled. Dust.s.—A meeting took place on Wednesday evening last, between the Pay-Master and the Adju tant of the Foreign Depot, at Lymington, in which the Adjutant was mortally wounded. He died on Friday about noon, in consequence of mortification, the ball not having been extracted.—Saturday morn ing a duel was fought in Kensington Gardens, near the canal, between a Mr. H. of the Adelphi, and a French Gentleman. The parties exchanged fire, when Mr. H. received the ball of his antagonist in the thigh, and, being unable to stand, was carried oft the ground to his lodgings. The quar re l t o ok place at the house of a mutual friend, and was occasioned by a dispute respecting the present political changes in France. . SPORTING INTEL, I: IG ENC E.

FRAME-EREAKING.--This mischievous practice, we are sorry to say, has again commenced by the Lod. dices at Nottingham and its vicinity in the course of last week. These daring villains entered the premises of frame-owners with masks on, and destroyed seve ral, together with the lace, and other work in har.d. Threatening letters having been sent to some of the most respectable hosiers, Saturday night's Gazette contains his Royal Highness the Paws REGENT'S most gracious pardon, and a reward of two hundred guineas from Messrs.
