MARC!! 49. news was made known in the great city of Marseilles, the whole population ran to arms ; io a few hours ten thousand stow tnen were embodied, and amongst them a number of old soldiers, who eageilv cried out for permission to attack Buo aaaite;—had they marched, his instantaneous, ruin was in evitable ; but the accursed authorities, the base or brutified au tholities interfered ; and the invader has walked through France. as if it were the patrimony of his fathers. A rumour was afloat for part of yesterday, that the Duc D'Otleans bad repulsed Buonaparte beyond Lyons. It raised the stocky for five minutes, but that was all. If the! Due hid beaten four or five battalions, it was of no import- awe ; but in fact there was not a shot fired. Monsieur and rousin were, by the last accounts, at Macon, 15 league , . at ties side Lyons. Upon the whole that I can learn, France I i s lost—to tier virtuous Sovereign. to herself, and to Eu rooe. The natiori has no character left ; and as, in the cor rupt ages of the Roman empire, liberty and property were but names ; so here there are no distinguishable classes het! t h e civil slave and his armed tyrant ; here there exists no rpiri but that of the mercenary, whose tword is his charter, I and who renews the invasion of every other country in the world, by re-conquering that which gave him birth. The I re port circulates, that the British troops art already under ordors to advance into the French territory. T.easury bonds are not saleable—the actions of the bank have fallen on this intelligence from upwards of 1100 to 750'. PA nil, MARCH 12 ---Not only the military are loudly for; the Usurper (the wt iter is an enemy to Buonaparte, hut al friend of liberty) but the populace, who do not scruple to talk loudly in his favour every where. On the large mirror, in the very apartment of the King, were found written, the morning of the itth, " Mire Napoleon !"
