Done at the Palace of Vontilabitati, the -- April, 1814." SUPPLEMENT TO THE LONIYON GAZETTE EXTRAOkIIiNARY. OF SATURDAY THE 9TH OF APRa. 'OREIGN OIiFICE, APRIL 9. Colonel Lows arrived this night at this Office with bispatches from Lord Viscount BUAGHERSII, of which the following are copies : , Patis, April 7. MY Loin—the great events which have of late oc. burred in this capital will be best detailed to you by his Majesty's Ministers assembled at this place. The corps of Marshal Marmont, amounting to twelve thousand men, passed in the night of the 4th within the lines occupied by the Allied troops. • This corps has taken its cantonments near Versailles. Marshals Ney and Macdonald, accompanied by teneral Caulaincourt, arrived at the same time, as bearers of Bonaparte's proposal, to submit to the de cision of the Senate and the people of France, and to abdicate in favour of his son. This proposition not having been agreed to, he has now suvrendered himself to the wishes of the nation. The Senate have this day announced the adoption of a Constitution for the Government of France, un det the dominion of their ancient line of Kings. There seems no diversity of opinion in the nation. All have obeyed the call of the Provisional Government. BJ - naparte stands alone and unprotected in a country where, but a few days past, he disposed at pleasure of the lives of its inhabitants. In this concluding scene of the most memorable era which history records, it is impossible, my Lord, I should resist a feeling of public duty, prompted also by a sense of gratitude and affection, in calling your attention to the able and distinguished manner in which Prince Schwartzenberg has conducted the ope rations or this campaign. Exclusively of the talent which he has marked when in the field of battle, to the successes which have ever attended his career, the world will still look with almost increased admi ration to the conduct he has pursued since his entry into Paris. Whetetormiliation, where every kind feeling of the heart was required to change a system of carnage and desolation to the 'protection of a pecple, but of late a most bitter enemy, the character of Prince Schwartzenberg secured to him success. More security, more order never reigned in this Prace and tranquillity, the happy omens, Stay we hope, of the future regenerated state of Eu. tope, exist here amidst the troops of every nation, in spite of feelings lately of so great hostility. From his great and exalted situation, from the vir. tues which adorn his character, the Emperor of R us sia has been best able to appreciate the merits of Prince Schwartzenherg. In token of the esteem he bears him, and in estiratiOn of his great services; he has decorated him with the Grand' Order of St. Andrew, and his presented it in diamonds.—l have the lio tour to be, &c.

Saturday we laid before the public a brief but sa- tisfactory outline of the glorious intelligence which burst upon us from various parts of the opposite coast. To-day we give the details at length, as circulated in the French Papers and in London Gazettes, extraor dinary and supplemental, published since Saturday. The most striking feature in the catastrophe of the great drama, which has now closed with BONAPARTE'S exit, is the baseness and servility with which he sti pulates for the continuance of his wretched existence. In this he differs Irom almost all the tyrants of an. cient or modern times ; NERO, and a few others of the same breed, excepted. The same low cunning and hypocrisy by which he rose and maintained his power , shines forth in the last moments of his politi-al life. When assured that his life would be spred him, he makes a merit of gratuitously offering it up on the altar of the country which he had so long and so cruelly desolated. He must have calculated beyond all the data of probability, upon the dispositions of the Emperor of AUSTRIA, otherwise he would not have adhered so pertinaciously, during the Chatillon negociations, to his preposterous and extravagant de mands upon other countries. His subsequent offer of abdication in favour of his son, was founded upon the same mistaken notion : but it was another of the delusions to whi'cli his dis eased imagination has so long given !.firth. In his final act of meanness, he talks of the sanctity of an oath, as if lie ever regarded any of the ties of lized mankind ! He, who was tke most inexorable of tyrants, finishes his career by showing himself the most contemptible of cowards! In his retreat in the Island of Elba, whither he retires w:th a pension of six trillions of franks (or about £21,000), he must be the most abject and miserable wretch that ever lived. The joy of the public at the remarkable events which have just occurred is boundless; it embraces All classes of society ; and every age, and sex and rank, cordially vie in their demonstrations of glowing satisfaction. We have Peace without tarnishing our honour ; we have security without a single sactific.. That peace is likely to outlive the present geneiation. It ►•ill open the door to unlimited industry : and what promiAs to render the blessing more valuable and permanent, is the just esteem, with which the nations of Europe are inspired towards one another. All have distinguished themselves by some signal in- stances of courage ; and they may embrace with the cordiality thit arises from self confidence and esteem. Europe, in fact, will shortly present the novel charac ter of one family, in which good faith and good ser vices will succeed to suspicion and intrigues. Diplo macy will become an art, which every gentleman may exercise. All the mystery of the school is broken up, and it will require only a man of liberal views, fascinating manners, and gentlemanlike conduct, to represent his Sovereign at the Court of another. We need not mention the character which our own coun try and Government will bear in the new order of things. -Our services have been so signal; our firm ness so exemplary, and our disinterestedness so strik ing, that we shall long be the theme of Continental panegyric. We have received the following Letters this " The MARY Guernsey Government schuyt is just arrived from Guernsey, with Lieutenant-General Sir JOHN Dovt,e's Secretary, having dispatches, who immediately on landing went off post for London.— By this vessel we have received accounts that the Duke de BERRI had sailed from Jersey for France.— The dispatches relate to the sucess of the Bourbon CatlAs, and the general cry of the French for the re turn of their ancient Royal Family." " DOVER, APRIL 10. 4 , This town has been all bustle for these two days, in consequence of the late happy change in France. Three vessels arrived early yesterday Morning from Dunkin':, with a White Flag, bringing 13 prisoners who had been released as soon as the change in the Government was announced in that town. The F.agles and all the insignia of the Tyrant's Govern nicht were torn down and burnt by the populace, whose ' j oy was unbounded on being released from the tyranny of DoNnt.a an:. At nine o'clock yesterday a Flag of Truce arrived and landed a French Courier, who wore the white cockade t he was charged with dispatches addressed under cover to the Postmaster, who itnniediately set Off in a post.cliaise and four for Town. Soon after noon a boat arrived from Calais with Colonel Low::, only 40 hours from Paris, who instantly set off for Town : this boat came away as a flag of truce, and soon after leaving the shore the white flag was displayed, on which the tri-coloured flag was lowered in the boat and the red and blue cut away from it, and she came in here with the white part only. One of our boats was within a few miles of Calais this afternoon, and the white Sag was flying there and along shore.4We have had no fur ther arrivals from the opposite coast this day, but a berry firing from thisice was heard here this after noon—it lasted for about ah hour. gg Since writing the above his Majesty's sloop 13nrszts has arrived in the Roads from off Boulogne; where her boat has been on shore this day with an Officer. The white flag was hoited there at noon . yesterday, and the batteries and the 13ntsms mutually saluted this morning. She hailed one of the privateers , going into Boulogne Roads to-day, and the Captain said he was going in to dismantle. lhe Officer who ]ended from the Balms had a White cockade, and it gone over to the Admiral at Deal." !Winch Papers Rage been received by Government two days later than those already arrived. They mention that BONAPARTE has already set out for his, ulterior destination, escorted by 500 cavalry. Louts XVIII. is formally recalled by a Decree of the Provisory Government. • Marshal MARMONT has acceded to the new Go vernment, stipulating for the life of BONAPARTE being spared. MARMONT has brought over 12,000 uten to the BOURDON Standard. • Marshal NEY has also formally declared for the legitimate Sovereign. He had previously intimated his intention to BONAPARTE. Cardinal MAwav and the rest of the French Clergy at Paris, have declared for the BOURBONS. CAPTaIIN -DE BERENGEI2. " EDINBURGH, APRIL 8 1 , 1814. " The person called Captain DE B entxcaut, whose disappearance from London has occasioned so many surmises, has just undergone an examination before the Magistrates at the City Chambers. Ho was yes terday traced to Glasgow, where on arrival of the Messengers in pursuit of him, it was ascertained that he had gone to Edinburgh, whither he was followed, and apprehended early this morning, in the Britannia Inn, at Leith, from whence it is alledged that he intended to take art aquatic excursion. He denies that he had any participation in the late fraud.— He is now on his way to London, double ironed.— When he was arrested, a great number of letters and papers were found on his person." Yesterday being Easter Sunday, the PRINCE REGENT went in State to the Chapel Royal. The Chapel was crowded to excess. Among the distinguished cha racters were the Bishops of CliciTEn, OxF. , ito, and WATERFortn, and a numerous assemblage of Tem poral Peers. The Sermon \%:1 , , by the Lord Almoner, the Lord Archl;:s:.op of Yo tot, from Acts xxi. v . '2l . V 2. Alter the Sermon, the charming anthem, " If we believe that ,h.:'.us died." At the conclusion of the anthem, the Prince and his Attendants descended to the aisle of the Chapel. The Prince entered the State canopy or throne, of crimson and gold, and received the sacrament from the Dean and Sub-Dean. Earl BATIICRST and Viscount MELVILLE had au diences of the PnlNc REGENT on Saturday, as had the Earl of LtviotrooL, which was the only public business the Noble Earl attended to that day, except receiving the French Deputies from Dunkirk, when introduced by Viscount MELVILLE at Fife House, in consequence of the sudden death of his sister•in I.lw, Mrs. CECIL JENKINISON, on Friday night. She eat her supper, apparently in good health, was taken unwell, and died in two hours. Her Imperial Highness the Duchess of OLDEN BURGH, accompanied by General TURNER, walked in several parts of London on Saturday ; afterwards went in a carriage and viewed the London East- India Docks, &c. ; she returned to Pulteuey Hotel at six o'clock, when she received a visit from the Prin cess CrtauLorre, who remained with the Royal Duchess till eight o'clock. Yesterday afternoon, about two o'clock, she went in the Prince Regent's carriage and six to Paddington, Kilburn, Hampstead, Highgate, the Tunnel', Hornsey, &c. The Duchess rem-lied to the Hotel aootit five o'clock, when ( Eas ter Sunday being a great festival) she received the visits of a number of Ladies and Gentlemen in full g , WEYMOUTH, APRIL 10. I dresses. Dispatches were this morning received from Sir THOMAS GRAHAM, in Holland. Saturday E Arl BATHURST wrote a letter to the Lorin' MAYOR, intimating that the Public Offices would be illuminated this evening. At eight o'clock on Saturday evening the Park and Tower Guns were fired in celebration of the glorious intelligence from France, which had arrived in the course of the day. Orders have been issued from the Admiralty to take oft the blockade from all the ports that dcciare for the BOURBONS. ReTtrißuTtox.—The 2d April will be a memorable day in the annals of.. future nistorians. BONAPARTE on the 2d April, 1810, was embraced in the arms of royalty by his marriage with the unfortunate MARIA LOUISA. On the 2J April, 1814, royalty disowned him, and he was hurled from his throne to the dung hill from whence he sprung.—Surely the finger of PROVIDENCE is there ! DCEL.—Two persons, both inhabitants of Baker street, North, yesterday met in a field, near Kilburn, to adjust an affair of bonour—when after an exchange of shots, in which one of them was wounded in the left shoulder, the dispute was adjusted, by the interference of the seconds. By a letter from Barbadoes, dated 22d February, we learn that the Queen, Captain Lord COLVILLE / is appointed to escort home the May convoy from Bar badoes. Rear Admiral Sir FRANCIS LAFOREY, late Commander in Chief on the Leeward Island station, comes passenger in the Queen. The Vestal, Captain DECKER, was cruizing off the Island of St. Bartho lomew, where she landed General M 4 Casxer., late Governor of St. Martin's ; she was to take his prede cessor, Lieutenant Colonel FARQUHARSON, to St. Christopher's, and from thence to Guadeloupe. It was expected that the Vestal would also come home with the May convoy, and bring to this country in. valid During her cruize she took an American mer chant vessel , whisk is likely to be a good prize. _. -~•.~ 7?

Arrived lAA night the schooner Minerva, CURRIE, from St. Domingo, in 30 days, a running vessel ; was chaced by an American privateer, in the Gulph of Florida, but, from the Minerva's superiority in sailing the enemy could not make up to her. From Bermuda it is stated that, in the month of February, the brig Young Dickson, -, of London, parted her an chors and went to sea with only six persons on board : these were two Americans, Cbrought prisoners from New Providence), two Portuguese, and two boys. It is feared she would be carried into some American. port.
