The National Register. — London, England, 1815-03-19 00:00:00

THE NATIONAL REGISTER. 182 announced the best spirit, the firmest determination t 6 resist the enemy, and contained the promise of a good disposition on the part of the troops. . We had no account of Bnonaparte having received reinforce ment••. We had therefore every reason to expect that this rash en terprize would have no other effect titan to confirm the legitimate authority, by releasing France from the eternal enemy of her repose and her happiness. What then wa• our astonishment when the telegraphic dispatch of the Bth informed us that he was that evening expected at Greno• bie, and when a second of the same day announced to us that Gre noble must have surrendered. This dispatch, delayed by bad weather, did not reach us till the 9th, in the evening. Yesteiaay, the tOth, we received the ilinpate!► from Lyons of the Bth, dated halt•past eight in the morning. and containing merely these %Inv 's-- , The Princes depart immediately ; Bnonaparle is cx. peeled at Lyons tljis evening ; Igo to Clermont.' (It is the Prefect who speaks.) There was no mention of Grenoble in this letter, and we flattered ourselves that it still held out, bolt this hope was- destroyed by a letter from-Monsieur, dated the Bth in the evening, which his Ma ksty only received this morning by a courier, and which he has been pleased to permit me to read, iu order that I might state its con tents to the Chamber. His Royal Highness begins his letter by the recital of his journey. and the incredible activity with which, arrived at Lyons without stopping, he had commenced to coillyct.the troops and the national g►►ards, and to receive with their new oath of fidelity-, unequivocal, testimonies of attachment. The Prince directed their departure that night, and he was to have marched at their head to succour Grenoble ; but some hours later he learned that the town had sur rendered almost without resistance, and be was then solely occupied in the defence of Lyons, for which he was adopting every suitable measure. It is but . too probable that these measures were fruitless, as the dispatch of yesterday announces so formally the departure of the Princes. • Here, Gentlemen, our intelligence from the South concludes, and , we expect further accounts hourly, but it will be difficult for any to reach us before to-night. • A letter has beeti brought to me from the Prefect of Latin which announces a new act of treachery attempted at La . Fere, and hap pily defeated by the firmness and courage of Count Aboville, the Ci , mmatider of the School of Artillery. I shall lay before you the Whole of the letter, which will tranquillize you respecting one of our greatest depots of artillery, •at the same time it will prove to you the perfection of a General who has succeeded in misleading four or five squadrons of classeurs, who have been obliged to aban don their criminal enterpriie, but who dare to march on Paris. • Such, Gentlemen, the true position in which France is placed. Blionaparte, armed with 1100 men, makes rapid progress. We du not exactly know to what extent the defections have increased his band ; but the.,c defections cannot be doubted, lien we find Grenoble occupied, and the second city of the kingdom, ready to fall, and probably already in the hands of the enemy. Numerous emissaries from Buonaparte repair to our regiments, • softie of them are already in our ranks. It is to be feared that many misled men will yield to their perfidious insinuations, and this fear alone enfeebles our means of defence. The effect of these bad dispositions, which now alarm us, cannot be better corrected than by aiding that good and faithful National • Guard graters .composed in a manner which places it out of the reach of seduction.
