IG. karxing ACt...unts of what has passed at Fon ?le c.u..tdervd as authentic, coming from :he n' respectable Officers of the French • of April, in the morning, Bonaparte re • • tn , cps Which he seemed to consider as his Marshals and Genera 6, who hind learned ; ;e papers :it, resolutions of the Senate and the stonal Government, conversed together .n the load enough to be heard by Napoleon, but le appeared to pay no attention to what they said, ~r,d the review passed quietly. When it was over 'Ytirshal Fey, as had been settled, entered the Palace wish him, and followed him into his cabinet, where he -isked him if he was intort. , ed of the Treat revoltiti.at that had taken place at P s ets ?He replied, with all the composure he could assume, that he knew nothing of it, though he was doubtless well intorrurd of the whole. The Marshal then gave him the Paris Papers, which he seemed to read with attention, but he was only seeking to gain time to form an answer. Mean t me came Marshal Lefebre, who, addressing his late Ettperor iu a feell..'g tone:, said,=" You are undone, you would not licten to the coon elt 6f any o f your wrvants, and now the Senate has declared that you halve fosycital the :Anne." These words made such an impression on him, Who wed to consider himself above all laws, that he inane diately burst into a flood of tears, and After some mo ments reflection, wrote an act of abdicatiort in favour of his sun. Another officer, who was likewise a witness 'of what passed, relates, on the Stb, about eleven o'tlotk, leve ral Gentlemen sent to the Duke of Bahian°, who was mostly alone with the Emperor, to requett him to dis Jude him from appeahng oft the parade. But he would nut refrain frot:- it. About half-past eleven he formed a plan, which he made the Duke of Bassano write and sign with him, to repair with t;0,000 men that he had still with him, to Italy, and join Prince Eugene. Napoleon repeated several times, "If I choose tog., there, I am certain dust all Italy Will declare for me." On the parade lie looked horribly pale and thoughtful, and his convulsive motions spewed his internal struggles ; he did not stop above eight or ten minutes. When lie got into the palace he sent to the Duke of Reggio, and asked him "if the troops would follow him ?" " No, Sire," answered the Duke, ydu have abdicated." " Yes ; hut upon certain conditions." " The soldiers," resumed the Duke, 6 4 don't comprehend the difference ; they think you have no more any right to command chem."— " Well, then," said Napoleon, " this is no more to be thought of; let us wait for the accounts from Paris." The Marshals returned is the night between twelve and one. Marshal Ney entered first. " Well, have nu succeeded ?" exclaimed the Emperor. 4 ‘ Revo i•azions do not turn back : this has begun its course: it -.vas Lao late : to-morrow the Senate will recognize the Eo , !: ).211116." ‘ 4 Where shall Ibe able to live with my family i" "Where your Majesty shall please ; and for cx.imple, in the Isle of Elba, with a teventie of six milli.ms that is a great deal for asoldier as I I see very well I must submit; salute all m c companions in arms." Here Napoleon ceased speaking. The following circumstances may be added:— Four days ago Napole• , n thought of passing a decree indicting the penalty of death upon every one who *wild be found to have a newspaper in his picket. The evening befite his dethronement he made a.colo nel a present of an estate in Westphalia. The Emperor of Russia immediately upon his ar rival at Paris ride on hntseback to the Thuilleries 4 examined evety thing, and praised the taste with which it was adorned.—" /hare found Paris very fine, said his Majesty, " but l shall leave it in a much more flourishing condition." Being sliewn the &I kon of Peace, he said, " What use could Bonaparte male of this Saloon? What he came to the great Gal lery of the Museum he said, " Ten days are neces , saty to see this tihe collection." Observing that some pictures were removed, he said, " His character must have been quite misunderstood if any fear had been entertained for the Museum." The Emperor laughed; though nut with bitterness, at the fear with which it had been attempted to inspire into the Parisians. The monument of the Place Vendome Is under the protection of the High Allied Powers ; the statue of Bonaparte, at the top of iy is to be replaced by that of Peace. As the Emperor Alexander rode by it, he said, " I should be afraid of becoming giddy it stood so high." Your Majesty's arrival at Paris has been long ex pected and desired, said somebody. " I should have been here sooner," replied the Emperor, 44 attribute my delay to the French valour." His Majesty goes . every morning and evening with some staff officers, to attend Divine worship in his chapel ; made at the Bureau of the 'Marine. WILLIAMSTADT, APRIL 12. After having, been as it were tut off from the world for four months, our unfortunate neighbours see the near end of all their sufferings.

' " Monsieur has received to-day, at eight in the evening, the Senate and the Legislative Body. . " The Senate was presented to his Royal High ness by the Prince of Benevento, its President, who said— Monseigneur,—The Senate brings to your Royal Highness the offering of its most respectful submis sion. It has invited the return of your august House to the Throne of France. Too well instructed by the present and the past, it desires in common with the nation, for ever to found the royal authority on a just division of power, and on public liberty, wh'cli are the only securities of the happiness and liberty of ,all. Monseigneur—The Senate, in the moments of public joy obliged to remain apparently more calm in the limits of its duties, is not less a partaker in the universal sentiments of the people. Your Royal Highness will read in our hearts through the reserve of our language : each of us, as a Frenchman, has joined in those of feelings and profound emotions ; which have accompanied you ever since yOur en trance into the capital of your ancestors, and which are still more lively under the roof of this palace, to which hope and joy are at length returned with a descendant of St. Louis and Henry IV. For myself, my Lord, allow me to cougratulatt myself on being the organ of the Senate, which has chosen me to be the interpreter of its sentiments to your Royal Highness. The Senate, knowing my attachment to its Members, has been pleased to re serve fur me a delightful and honourable moment. — The most delightful, in tact, are those in which we approach your Royal Highness to renew to you the expressions of our respect and our love.'

The President and Secretaries, (Signed) .1 The Prince of BENEVENTO. ' Comte de VALENCE. 6 Comte tie Pasrourer.' 46 His Royal Highness answered: GENTLENI!!.N—I have acquainted nits& with the Constitutional Act which recalls to the Throne of France the King, my august Brother. I have not received from him the power to accept the Constitu tion ; but I know his sentiments and his principles, and I do not fear to be disavowed by him, when I assure you in his name that he will admit the basis of it. The King, in declaring, that be would stain the actual form of Government, has then acknowledged, that the Monarchy ought to be ba lanced by a Representative Government, divided into two houses—these two houses (chambres) are the Senate and the House of the Deputies of the De partments ; that the taxes shall be freely granted by the representatives of the nation, public and private liberty secured, the freedom of the press respected, under the restrictions necessary for public order and tranquillity ; the liberty of worship guaranteed ; that property shall be inviolable and sacred, the Ministers responsible, liable to be accused and prosecuted by the Representatives of the Nation.

There can be no longer any difference of sentiments among us ; we must no mat t e recal the past ; we must from henceforward be I. nation of brothers. During the time that I shall have the power in my hands, which time I hope will 152 very short, I shall employ all my eflbrts in labnurini; for the public happiness.' " One of the Members of the Senate crying 'out, He is a true deicendant of Henry 6 His blood (said Monsieur) really flows iii m 4 veins.—l should wish to have his talents, but lam sure of having his heart and his love for the FrErich.' 66 After the Senate, the Members of the Legisla tive Body who were at Parrs at the time of the happy ' event which restores us our King, and the Deputies of the neighbouring Departments who have eagerly repaired to Paris, were admitted to an audience of his Royal Highness.—Mr. Felix Faulcon, the Vice- President, spoke as follows: 4 My Lord—The long misfortunes which have oppressed France have at last reached their period. The Throne will now again be filled by the descen dants of that good Henry whom the French people are proud and delighted to call their own ; and the Legislative Body is happy in expressing this day to your Royal Highness, the joy and the hopes of the nation. 4 The deep wounds of our country cannot be heal ed but by the tutelary concurrence of the will of all. No more divisions, you; Royal Highness has said at the first strip you took into this capital :—it was worthy of your Royal Highness to pronounce those sweet sounds, which have already re-echoed in every heart.' Monsieur expressed his happiness at being in the midst of the Representatives of the French People— • We are all Frenchmen,' said his loyal Highness ; e we are all brothers. The King will soon arrive among us :—his only happiness will be to secure the happiness of France, and to make its past misfortunes be forgotten—let us think only on the future. I con gratulate you, Gentlemen of the Legislative Body, on your courageous resistence. to tyranny, while there was still great danger in it.—At length we are all Frenchmen !' , g The speech of his Royal Highness was followed by universal acclamations. The Deputies of the departments will relate to their fellow-citizens the lively impressions which they have experienced in addressing, for the first time, the wishes of France to a descendant of our Kings, in the Palace of Louis XI V.—( Illoniteur, April 14.)
