Hostilities between the High Allied Powers, the French, an.l Napoleon Bonaparte, have ceased. After M..rshal Marmont had jnined the cause of the Ailes, and the greater part of the troops under the orders of Napoleon Bonaparte, near Fontainoleau, laving hoisted the white standard ttl.d ;he %%hitt: cockade, proceeded in the direction of Park, an othr • was made to Lonaparte of a pension of six millions of francs for his maintenance, and the Island of Elba, where he is to ti; his residence and That of his family. Bonaparte immediately accepted the pro position. General Maison, after a conference with the Saxon General B.irnn de Thielm.tn, has declared in favour of Louis XVIII. • LEGIIORN, MARCII io, Yesterday an English fleet, of 45 transports, en tered our port, under convoy of the America and Edinburgh, of 74 guns, the Imperieuse, Iphigenia, and Aurora frigates, and some smaller vessels.

As, in a ceremony consecrated to peace, it is pro per that nothing should disturb the tranquillity of the citizens of the • capital, and that they should not be inspireel with a groundless alarm, it is thought ne cessary to acquamt them, that immediately after the Te Deum which will be chanted tomorrow on the Place de Louis XV. one hunded cannon will be fired on the quay of the Seine, between the bridge of Jena and that of Lnuis XVI. We have received from Messrs. the Commissioners of Louis XVIII. the order of the day of his Ezrel limey Marshal Jourdan, commanding the I .sth mili tary division, relative to the events which are now passing. The following are the contents : FIFTEENTH ITARY DIVISION. ORDER or THE DAY. 64 Soldiers ! —The Emperor Napoleon has abdi cated the Imperial Throne, and is to retire to the island of Elba, with a pension of six millions. • The Smate has adopted a Constituti.n which guarantees civil I.berty, arid insures the rights of the lonarch. " Louis Stanislaus Xavier, brother of Louis XVI. is called to the throne by the wish of the French na tion, and the army has manifested the same senti ments. The accession of Louis XVIII. is the gu I. rantee of peace. " At length, after so many glorious campaigns, so many fatigues, and honourable wounds, you ate going to enjoy some repose. " Louis XVIII. is a Frenchman ; he will not be a stranger to the glory with which the armies have covered themselves. This Monarch will grant you the rewards which you have meritcd by long services, your brilliant deeds, and honourable wounds. " Let us then swear obedience and fidelity to Louis XVIII. and let us display the white cockade as a sign of adhesion to an event which stops the el. fusion of blood, gives us peace, and saves our country. •6 This order shall be read by the Cummandeis of the different corps at the head of the troops. (Signed) " JOURDAN, ahe Marshal of the Empire, Commander-in Chief of the 15th Division." " Head-quarters at Rouen, Alias." The Officers of the General Staff of the National Guard of Paris have transmitted to the Provisional GoVernment the following Address : The national guard of Paris has necessarily de ferred the expression of the sentiments with which it is.animated, till the Constitutional Act which itt'sures she happiness of the French nation was adopted by its rept esentatives. " The Senate and the Provisional Government have just crowned their generous enterprise by proclaiming the Prince, where ancient race was tor eight centu ries the honour of oil:. country. " A magnanhnons people, whom misfortunes without a parallel have not beea able to cast down, is voiog to recover the lights which dcspotistit has not been able to make it forget. The national guard rides itself on having hi. therto lollowed the only coArse which was truly use ful to its fellow-citizens. At the moment when each of them seemed to manifest his wish and his opinion, it was its duty to suppress its particular sentiments, and to attend only to the object that interested all— the public order and tranquillity. " Hardly escaped from lawless dangers, it has em ployed itself on useful labours ; it has sought to second your zeal which it participate!, your success which it admires. Exempt by its composition from all ri valry of rank ; and by its transient existence from all ambition, it aspires but to 1 . 1,01 the honr;urable end to which it is called, and to give to ail France the example of devotion to its Pr;nce, and of love to its country. " it is thus that it is eager to adhere to the consti. national act, which restores the throne of France to Louis Stanislaus Xavier, and his august family." I Bred french soldiers, turning the gar rison of Compeigne, surrender, d on the 4. h instant, contrary to the wish of their Colonel, who is said to have lost his wits. They are arrived at Paris.

Bonaparte said some months ago, "I do not know how I shall finish this drama ; but if I sink, people slirdl learn what the death pangs of a great man cost ; I reserve for history a page of blood, such as its re cords do not yet contain." We expect, in fact, dis coveries that inspire horror. When he had carried the position at Montereau, he believed the Allied Armies destroyed, and said, with his usual arrogance, " I am nearer to Vienna than they are to Paris." He often declared, that in less than three months he would burn Munich, and plant his Eagles on the ruins of Vienna. 11e has kept his word w ith respect to Vienna, as he did v:ith respect to Lisbon. He used to say, that Henry IV. was the King el the ((mille t We may judge from this of his idea of the virtues of a Sovereign. This Anti-French expression, this unnatural blasphemy, would suffice :o prove him who could titttr it unworthy of the Throne. FRENCH YCNDS. April 9, 62 francs—llai.k action., 900. The Provisional Government, informed that since the close of 1811, more than 800 Spanish peasan.,..,, made prisoners in the Fort of Figueras, have been detained in the hulks at Brest and Rochefort, where different colours alone di,tinguish them from con. ',lets, whose irons they wear, and in whose labours they participate : Considering that the violence committed upon these men, whose only crime was that of having fought in defence of their country, outrages at once humanity and all the laws consecrated by the nations of Europe—order the said Spanish peasant, to be immediately set at liberty, and conducted to the fi:st Spanish post. Among the numerous addlesse.s to the Provisional Goverumete, the following metit particular atten tion; FROM THE MUNICIPAL COUNCIL OF THE CITY orzyntux. ‘ 6 The city ni Evrtux has learnt with transports of joy the happy events which have delivered us for ever from t:►e harribl , tyranny which oppressed the E►edch. Ile who male a muck , r y of oaths and of human 11..—he a . hn dissipated the public ptoperty, who b:uktg , :t fire and swo►d into our fine country— rttn,t clue' of tyr.ants—in one word. the assassin •f d►e Duke D'Lnghien hau ce.tsed to reign 4nd th e bourbons, invited by the %risk.* of the hooch flAtion, are about to resume their ancient sceptre, d'stin• guished by so many ages of glory and prosperity. " Immortal thanks to the generous monarchs who broke the iron yoke under which we groaned The day of Bonaparte's fall is a day of happiness for an France, 'bat especially for the Department of the Eure, which was the victim of the most horrible vexations. Tyrinny was at its height; and the town of Evreux would have, perhaps, taken counsel only from despair, had it not been from the consolations which it received from the paternal administration of the Mayor. " The Municipal Council, anxious to manifest the general wish, uttered with as Hindi freed .m as en thusiasm by the inhabitants of Evreux, hastens to express its formal wish for the establishment of the Monarchical Government in the person of Louis Sta nislaus Xavier of France," &c. M. Barthel"my, President Of the Senate, has sent the following Letter to the Members of ,he Provisional Government : , s I have th , ; honont to inform yon, that in the Sit tings of thii day the Senate has just decreed, that the Provisional Government shall be invited to testify t the national guard of Paris the satisfaction of the Se nate with the conduct it has observed in the critical circumstances in which this city has been placed. By immediately transmitting to you this invitation, I fulfil, Gentlen:en, the int: minus of the Senate." M. .Regnier, ci-devant Grand Judge, Minister of Justice, on arriving at Pat is, put up at the hotel des tined for the residence of the Presidents of the Legis lative Body. THE ADVOCATES ATTACHED TO THE ROYAL COURT SIT TING AT AMIENS TO THE PRoVisloNA I GOVERN NI EN T. Heavenly justice ! Memorable day—day immor tal ! Magnanimous Alexander Country I Bourbons! Honour ! Senate ! Into wh it intoxication do you plunge us ! Is It a dream from which we mast die Id being awaked ? No, no ! our happiness is certain. In thought, in heart, with voice, gesture, :l,(1 all the signs of a delirium which cannot be described, we adhere to the re-establishment of the ancient dynasty. Vive Louie Stanislaw Xavier!" The King of FRANCE, it is said, is to make a Grand afire into the metropolis, and the Puma: REGENT has expressed an intention to mei., him, and grace the ceremony attending his arrival. Although every preparation has been mace for the reception of Louis XVIII. hi, MAJESTY does not mean to come to Town until the arrival of the State Deputation from France, with which be is to return to fill the throne of his ancestors. The decorations of the JASON frigate, which k fit ting at Sheerness to receive the flag of the Duke of CLARENCE, are of the most splendid kind. All the cabins are to be lined with crimson velvet, ialged with deep gold lace. The Officers have received orders to appear in full dress, dress 'fords, gold tassels to their half boots, fee. His Royal Highness is expec ted to hoist his fltg +bout Slinday next. It is under-. stoisd that the JASON will be joined at the Nore by one of the royal yachts from Deptford, which she' will convoy to the opposite coast. His m , st Chris. tian Majesty will, it is supposed, be Lorded at Bon- Logue. The JASON, still hearing his Royal High ness's flag, it is expected, will then proceed down the coast with the Royal Yacht to Helvoetsluys, far the purpose of bringing the Queen of Wearestatito to England. Report adds, that shortly after his return to England, the Duke of CLARLNCC will again hoist his flag on board the JASON, to bring over the Ein peror of Res:4A and the King of PIiUSSIA. Lord Livenpool., it is said, will accompany the King of FRANCE to his dominions. Private accounts from Paris announce the arrival of the Crown Prince in that capital, with his Staff. We do not know whether the proverb, " Better late than never," may be applied in this instance ; it may be better for himselt, perhaps ; but having delayed his advance till the war was decided, we cannot see what possible good his presence can now do to the Allied Sovereigns or the general cause. The fol lowing particui irs of the causes of his long stay at Liege, and of his subsequent turning elf lly Cologni and Coblentz to a still greater distance from the scene of action, have been furnished to its from a source,. the authenticity of which may be fully relied upon ; indeed, ee are assured that they are derived from his Royal Highness's own representations to the Allied Sovereigns. The Crown Prince, on his cr ‘ssing the Rhine, found the conferences at Chatillon in pro gress, And was greatly offended that no communica tion had been made to him respecting the bases on which it was proposed to negeciate, nor of the dis cussions as they pr , ceeded. He found also, that without awaiting his coming up with his Swedes, the Russian corps and the Germans in British pay, that had been attached to his army, and, by special agree. ment and treaty, placed under his immediate com mand, had been drawn away as they came near the scene of action, and placed in conjunction or co-ope ration with Blucher. Upon this his Highness of Sweden felt highly iniignant ; he stopped long in dudgeon at Liege, and then made the tour to Co logne and Cobleutz, which we have already noticed. In the mean time, circumstances brought out a kind of explanation, in the course of which t I e Emperor of Russia, who, by consent, acts as a kind of Chairman of the Select Committee of Allied Monarchs, ez pr...ssed his sorrow that he was not aware of the Crown Prince's desire to have a special concern in the negociations at Chatillon,.as he would have had great pleasure 'in gratifying his Highness's wish on that head : but as no intimation of such a partie. I o di - sire had been expressed, he did not see :ti;) why Sweden should in the first instance he called upon to send a Plenipotentiary any mote rens Spain, or Bavaria, or any other of the subordinate Powers-- nor any ground for offence in the omission. With respect to the employment of the Russian and Ger man corps belonging to the Crown Prince's army on active service, the exigencies of the common intere t and the benefits which had resulted to the vanmun 'cause ,from that measure would furnish the best an swer. The Crown Prince, we hear, was by no means mollified by these explanations; but, probably, find. ing that eie Allied Sovereigns could do so well with out him, and that they were in possession of Paris, with the means of making peace on terms suggesteu by their strew of the general rights and interests of na tions, he thought he might as well come to head quarters to take care of his own possessions, as well AS ut his ChtilAS awl emeabioas, THE EVENING STAR. LON DON. FRIDAY. APRIL lii, 1814. The intercourse between the French and Engitob coasts is now most briskly carried or, as Api:Jla fror the following communication : VOVEA, APRIL is. " The chann e l between here and riance is nor become like a ferry : boats arc continuilly pessii. t and repassing. The rumber of persons belonging this town who have already visited CANs is inzre• Bible : all are received with the greate , t and friendship, and every attention is shewn then:. " A lugger arrived in the Roads this evening, and a galley from her landed the Collector of she Custon.. and';:: family, also a Merchant belonging to Calaii —Yesterday evening the Lady Frances Poo Office Packet, Captain RerrEn, came rolnd (tom Ho. with—two others are hourly expected, and it is cm. lectured that the F.rst Mail for France will be d;s patched from hence on S tturd ty next." What has pasced, and h paining in Fntnce, mutt contpictions proof and example of the extreme intricacy of human, and partiettlarly of what at• called great or national affairs. The most pullout:Li political philosophers see but a very short way i 2,40 futurity. Action produces re-action : every revulu. tion contains in itself the seeds of another. The reduction of the provincial parliaments was considered to be, and perhaps was, a substantial im provement in the general administration of justice. But the abolition of the parlioments left in Boar. deaux, Toulouse, and other Cities, a degree of dis. content and chagrin that c-ntributed very much to the dethronement of the Tyrant. When Bonaparte in his ferocious career trampled on every Continental State of Europe, and moved onward, even to Moscow, every thng seemed to go on swimmingly. He thought himself the king of kings: invested with irresistible power, and strength, and glory. And all this he ascribed to the fertility of his own .genius, and the unexampled activity of his own exertions. But he never calculated or made any account of what might probably or yo.sibly be the re-action of all this activity—he blindly laboured for his own destruction. The personal history of this man, henceforth, mutt become as great an object of curiosity to philosophi cal observers on human nature, at 11;s public career was to politicians.ind statesmen. lato What will the agitation of his mind ultimately settle; Will be, like the unfortunate Prince Pretender, Charles Swart, after his discomfiture in Scotland, in 1746, endba. your to drown thought in intoxication ? Will he, like the flagitious Earl of Both Well, after the fall and . captivity of Mary Queen of Scots, grow mad ? or will he kill himself r The probability is, that he will lose his judgment, become furious, and commit such acts of insanity and outrage, as will subject hill at last to coercion and strict confinement. To moct men, reduced irons such a hoiebt of power and fame, to an anxious dependence on the mercy of conquerors, a. ROMAN DEATH would hare occurred as the only asylum. But Bonaparte, by running away three times from his army, for his own safety, has completely satiblled the world, that he has nothing in his character of Roman heroism—but all the suppleness of a modern Italian. It may, perhaps, he thought that if Bonaparte can escape from the We of Elba, he will go about from one Court t , ) another, trying to excite a confe deracy against England, as Hannibal, after the ruin of the Carthagenian Republic, did against the Ro mans. We cannot recollect any Court where he would be likely to meet with a favourable reception at present, crcept that of James Madison, in Ame rica ; for though he embraced Mahomedanism in Egypt, he could scarcely reckon on the protection of the Sultan of Constantinople. The great change passing on the Continent pro' mises a long repose to the weary nations of Europe. Both the rulers and the ruled have obtained much useful knowledge, though' at a great expense ; but :9 fact nations never acquire sound political wisdom but by dear bought experience. On this subject vie cannot avoid calling to the recollection of State• men one .of the earliest and most fatal blunders of those whose bond of union during :he late long struggle was professedly anti.revoltitionary.— In the face of their own principles, thefobliterated a large and independent kingdom from the map tat Europe : nor need we add, that the partition of Po land was the fatal examplo on which the French anar chists founded all their sophisms respecting the ame• liora:ion of nations by incorporating them with Franc.. Let not then the work of re.generatioo be done bi halves. Let the same sense of probity, the same sp'- rit of justice and sound policy, the same magnaiii mity which has emancipated tho other Kingdoms and Stales of Europe, be experienced by the peoplc (it Poland. Let :he mighty Monarchs whiff have b... r. the happy instruments lit raising tile prc.stitate from a state of degradation iv' slavery, and alto haw.' so well merited those ettlogiums, which, eta i•ig own the grateful hearts of the people, cannot but rot te their own hvirtiwith I, expressible tens 411.1115 ; let ":;•111, we say, give this one evidence to the worial at l aigt., that the spirit of dictatium and lawless ambitioii „foci' they have so happily combated in Prance i I,:iriT4Pra
