THE NATIONAL REGISTER. where he spent three weeks. his acknowledged intention was to offer his submission to the King, and as he had mar ried the sister of the Duchess of Fitzjames, the Duke of that name took upon himself to present the adhesion of his brother in law to his Majesty. The Prefect of the Department of Var had discovered both the correspondence and the plot ; he sent successively three letters to the Abbe de Montesquiou, but receiving no *timer he directed one of his relations to call on the mi nister and point out how important it was he should know what measures he was to take. But not one of the Pre fbct's letters had hem unsealed ! ! The conspiracy was talked of so openly at Paris, that the Dutchess of St. 1 4 : - .11, whom the Buonapartibts call Queen liortense, thought her safety required she should write to the King, to complain of the calumnies to which she was expoted. Count de I3lacas took upon himself to dispel her apprehensions, and to assure her that the King was persuaded of her good sentiments towards the Bour bons. It is also stated that the influence of this provident minister occasioned the appointment of Marshal Ney to command the troops sent against Bnonaparte. Ile also called alarmists those who had told him that after having taken leave of the King, Marshal Ney had said at the foot of the grand staircase of the Thuilleries "lls son: f—" 64 They are lost." Hitherto we have exposed the excess of infatuation of this blinded Minister. The following fact, which has also reached us from the same authentic source, will prove that it was but too deeply shared by the good and confident Louis. During his residence at Hartwell, this uncrowned mo narch had gained the affections of all his English depend ents. Amongst the rest was the gardener, whose (laughter had eloped with one of Buonaparte's parole-breaking Ge nerals, and gone to France. In the month of October last, she wrote from Paris to her father, to inform him that a conspiracy was on foot to depose the Kiog and re store Napoleon to his throne. Alarmed at this in telligence, the good old man lost no time; but, secure of a welcome at the court of his ancient master, even were he not the bearer of such important intelligence, be immediately repaired to Faris with the letter, and found easy admittance to the Thuilleries. His reception, how ever, had been public ; he requested a private interview, and then produced his daughter's writing. The King pe rused it, smiled, thanked him, and assured him 46 that there was nothing to fear from Buonaparte ; that his own restoration was complete, and that he was now fixed on the throne of his ancestors for ever." lie then dismissed lira with rich presents, and paid no attention whatever to the information. This amiable but ill-founded confidence, on men who now boast that they only pretended to obey, in order to betray the King, encouraged treachery, and is one of the chief causes of that sudden and complete revolution, which in a few days, and without the least resistance, has swept the throne of the Boarubons from the earth. APRIL f. declaration of the Congress has been published .in the Meuse and Ardennes departments : it ought to be circula. ted all over Francc. • The Austrian and Sardinian troopi under Bubna have advanced to the Alps. The King of Naples, it is said, joins the alliance against Bonaparte. The The Duke of Wellington, Sohwartzenberg, and Blucher, and Platow, are to have commands of armies. The Duke is by this time, arrived at Brussels. Every thing wears a warlike aspect. The King of Saxony refusing to accept the arrangement of the Allies has been sent to Presburg. The Emperor of Austria has connnanded his daugh ter to renounce the imperial title, and take that of Duchess of Parma. He will, of course, watch herand her son well. (Courier) Fiench Papers were received last night to the 30th ult. of which the following is the substance : (FROM THE KONITEER.) From Angers it is stated, under date of the 26th, that the tranquillity in that quarter bad been disturbed by a Procla mation of the Duke of ikxurbon, upon perusing which a M. d'Antecbamp, at Beaupreau. transmitted to his Royal High ness a- letter from Colonel Noireau, of the Gendarmerie, in which 1;0-'4 invokes the magnanimity of the Royal Prince to calm an effervescence of which the first effects would be to plunge La Vendee into misery and bloodshed." lle then calls on the Prince to give the necessary orders for prevent. ing the rising of the people, in return for which be pledges himself for his security and a safe conduct whithersnever he may chose to go. M. d'Antechamp conjured the Prince to renounce his projects; but Messrs. Laroche Jacquelin, Seris, Rene Ni colas, &c. adhered to the good cause which Antechanip abandoned. His desertion, however, it is affirmed, occasion. ed a great impression on the spirit of the Loyalists, and the Prince was soon left with a few seditious and the small 1111111•• her who formed his Council. He thereupon suspendeit his proclamation, and sent his Aide-de-camp to demand blank passports for forty persons—which being granted for Spain or Eugland, the insurrection dissipated and the affair ter minated. The new Vcntlean war, thus closed in three days, is ridiculed by the writer of Angers. MARCH 28.--There was no review yesterday ; his Majesty was busy all.day with his Ministers in his Cabinet. The Prince of Moskwa (hey) had arrived at Lille on the natli, and an article from that place, of the same date, says, that owing to the sensation excited in Belgium by the events at Paris, the English troops, with all their baggage, were re tiring towards Antwerp. , .
