March 29, these papers Aso comain some reports of the operations of the al _ lied.artnies down to ,the 27th : but as-they are antici pated by the _Extraordinary Gazette of Tuesday, we make may the I . 9llowing extracts :—" In the battle of the 20:h, at Arcis, Napoleon himself is said to have bean so closely engaged, that he was obliged to defend himself sword in hand. According to all accounts he bad with him between 60 and 60,000 men when he 'crossed the Marne, and advanced to St. Dizier. In. his letter to thr Empress, dated Sommepois, March 21, and which was intercepted by our troops, he says . the object of his movement was to compel the enemy to retire to a greater distance from Paris. The pri soners reported, that .it was announced to the army that they were to march towards the Rhine." These rquits,. besides noticing the annihilation of picthod's division, mention .that MarmOnt's corps, when cut off from forming a junction with Bonaparte, ' lost is the battle between Vitry and Fere Champenoise, 13000 soldiers, 8 Generals, and 300 officers made pri. .stoners, besides 62 pieces of cannon.

It ought to be recollected, however, that there was a considerable track of country to clear between Paris and the Coast, and that the arrangements between the Allied Sove reigns and the Chief Authorities at Paris would necessarily require to be explained by Deputations or otherwise to the Sub-Authorities in the departments. Accordingly we find from a short communication which has been received from Boulogne, dated on the sth instant, that 64 the Mails had now arrived from Paris, in consequence of arrangements with the new Government." From this circumstance we pre sume that every thing goes on at Paris as the best friends of humanity could wish, and that the virtuous and high-minded Louis XVIII. has been restored to his rank as one of the legitimate Sovereigns of Europe. Since writing the above, we have learnt that the Guard of the Dover mail. coach brings accounts that at the time of his departure, the b::tteries were firing along the French Coast ; and we have been informed that there are letters in town from the coast, an nouncing, what we were prepared to expect, the complete overthrow of that edifice of tyranny and oppression under which France has so long groaned, and which has been the source of so many calamities to other nations. The Allied So vereigns were hailed as• deliverers by the Parisians. Precautions to maintain order and tranquility were immediately taken, and not a moment was lost in adopting the measures necessary for restoring to that great city and to France the blessings of regular government, under the auspices of their long-banish ed, but, as now appears, their much-beloved Royal For a moment the Parisians were in a manner over whelmed with fearful apprehensions of the dreadful fate which seemed to hang over them. Aware of the miseries which had flown from that city as the den of the regicides and murderers who had enslaved France and desolated Europe, they could hardly be lieve that the Allies, who came with the sword in one hand, carried the olive branch in the other; The fate of Moscow was before their eyes, and they were dis posed to give credence to the lies in their own jour nals, that the march to their city had no other ob ject in view lout its destruction. Proportioned tt, their previous fears were the ex pressions of their joy when assured of safety and pro tection. When informed that the Allies had arrived i voly to perforar-the promise they had voluntarily come under, to restore peace to France and to the world, to put an end to that system of terror, con scription and bloodshed which had robbed them of the rights of free men, dragged their sons to the slaughtei, and made them the victims of a Cruel despot who trampled on all laws human and divine ) the shout was universal—" Down with the Tyrant" Vive Louis XVIII." • How different has been the conduct of the Allies in France to that of the French in every country cursed with the presence of their armies during the last twenty years of war and bloodshed ! It is impos sible in the nature of things that the immediate theatre of war can experience a state of perfect repose; but the French people must be sensible that the load has been rendered as light as possible, and that they have suffered none of those wanton inflictions which other nations had been doomed to bear from the inroads of their own countrymen, under the guidance of a military despot, who could so far outrage the usages of civilized ations, as to declare that he would make war support war. Never since the rudest ages of barbarism was such an infernal line of procedure proposed to any people, as a motive to second -their Ruler in his hostile de signs against other States. Never among civilized communities could a State be found in so depraved a condition as to act simultaneously, and at the same time without compunction, in the execution of a sys tab of crime and villainy so atrocious and so undis guised. The fact ., is morally impossible. To what, then, shall we attribute the apparent acquiescence of the French, and the seeming accordance with which they enabled the Tyrant to act upon so open an avowal of infernal policy ? The answer is not difficult. The French, as a nation, (for we speak not now of the unprincipled thieves and assassins who have shone as the satellites of Iducifir,) have been acting, not from choice, but from the same hard necessity which compelled the surrounding nations to yield their necks to the will of the murderous villain who has so long been tht scourge of mankind. From like causes, like effects must Row. As soon as the European States had an opportunity, the Rulers, with their people, broke the chains of the Oppressor, and trampled his authority in the dust; and, proportioning their energies to the degrading condition to which they were before re duced, and the insults they had suffered, they have permitted nothing to divert them from their purpose : resolved on complete emancipation, there has been no temporizing—no half measures.

This most important event was annour.ced to the people of Paris on the 3d inst. by a solemn decldra tion of the CONSERVATIVE SENATE. The SENATE began its deliberations on the 31st ult. and conti nued them, with the necessary occasional intermis sions, for two days, when they came to the unani mous resolution of annulling the title and power of the vile wretch BONAPARTE as Emperor of the French, and all claims and rights whist) the former Constitti tion had vested in his heirs. They were left deliberating upon the principles and forms of a new Constitution, the proposed basis of which was expected to be made public before this day. The Decree, depriving BONAPARTE of the Throne, is signed by about fifty Senators. A Provisional Government is appointed, and the French troops have been called upon to join it and abandon BONAPARTEO-The Russian General SAME:O is appointed Governor of Paris. The publication of the decree in Paris was pro. ductive of universal joy, and was celebrated by the most fervent rejoicings. The intelligence was re ceived with the same enthusiasm all the way from Paris to Boulogne, and when it reached the coast a general firing took place. Government is in anxious expectation of the arrival of dispatches from the head-quarters of the Allies, and we understand that an English Messenger is now on the road to town. The Cossacks are at Boulogne. THIRD EDITION. FURTHER PARTICULARS. PARIS, APRILS. By desire of the Emperor of RUSSIA, the Senate ,had assembled, and had chosen a Committee of Five, to consolidate a Provisional Government. The Members are TALLEYRAND, BOURNONVILLE, DALBEY, JAUCOUR, and MONTESQUIEU. The Senate in a crowded sitting declared that the dynasty of BONAPARTE is at an end. That the French were delivered from their oaths of allegiance to him ; and an address to the same purport is made to the armies. They then declare that the Senate and Legis lative Bodies shall form fundamental parts of the New Constitution, under such modifications as might be proper. That property shall be preserved, as well as the pub lic debt and public pensions; that the press shall be free, subject to certain restrictions; an indemnity fur con duct and opinions ; that there shall be complete reli gious freedom. A Constitution is to be presented on these bases. Nothing appeared determined as to the Bounßoxs, but the minor Papers of the 4th state the Deneral senti- ment of Paris is in favour of the Boonnoxs, and the white cockade was generally displayed. The utmost tranquility exiesin Paris. The Barriers arc all open. Versailles and the Towns in the neigh bourhood have declared in unison with Paris. Nothing is mentioned as to BONAPARTE or his Army. The Emperor of Russte has promised to release all French prisoners. NAVAL INTELLIGENUff. FALMOUTH, APRIL 6. The Prince Ernest packet arrived, from Passages, in five days. PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 7.

DOUBLE CHANCE.—.Adventurers in the present ,Lottery have an.additional Chancc the Prizos in the following Lottery. The foreigner who personated the pretended Colonel De Bourg, in the late hoax on the Stock Exchange, has been arrested at Sunderland, and is on his way to Green Room report speaks very highly of the new Spectacle of Sadael and Kalrasade ; or, The Water: of Oblivion,: forthcoming at Covent Garden Theatre.— The original tale is full of interest and dramatic situa tions, and the talents of the Painters and Machinists have ample room for their exertions. THE BOURBONS.—A new zra may be shortly ex pected to commence in France—the Reign of Gentle men—a breed that has been totally extinct for the last twenty years. It is said from Harburg, under date of the 21st of March, that the desertions from the enemy in Ham burgh continually increase. On the 7th, Sta,.9th and 10th, no fewer than 700 persolis came out from dif ferent parts of the city, making their escape by elud ing the vigilance of the French Guards, during the fright. The enemy has endeavoured to prevent this deseition by a Proclamation, which states that the owner of every house, where a soldier has been billet ted, and from which he shall desert, shell not only forfeit his goods, provisions, /rt. but shall be excluded from the city with his family, like common. vagrants, on. the ground that he ought to be apprised of the in tended desertion of every soldier under-his immediate protection. Provisions are becomieg more scarce every day ; the epidemia carries off great numbers, and a large portioa of the city is shut in consequence. It is probable that they eneral CARNOT, command ing at Antwerp, is •not . the Ex. Director of that name, but.lis brother. Though less knowrs, t ic has seen more-service than the other; who, if he, did for seve ral years fora) the plans of the *campaigns, he never tented any of them himself.: Elks brother served, in 1796, as General of Brigade, under .lourtna4 and shared the prosperity and adversity of the Ix-Direc tor ; and when the 'latter became Tribune in 1804, he was nominated a Member of the Central Committee of Engineers. We can much ;bore:ea:4 believe it of him than of the Ex-Director, that. when appointed Commandant of Antwerp, he stole into the fostress in the disguise of a peasant, and adopted measures which do not seem consistent with the character of the Ex-Ditector. We are concerned to state, that letters have been received at the Admiralty from Admiral FREEMAN. TLE a,ncl Captain ItowLEy, giving information of the death oreaptain Betinces W.
