- 'reiglrt•z; 4 , . /r i te , • Til E Nei at the very moment aft Dieppe attweare o'clock tin Thursday night, that an officer dispatched by Brionaparte to take the command of the garrison had arrived in the town. The Duke, iminediately on ins ar rival, made the most anxious enquiries respecting a messenger, whom. he steted, he had sent from Dieppe on Wednesday night, from Louis the Eighteenth for the British Goveniteent. On being informed iket the messenger had already f e re t h is teen, on his return to Newhaven, to embark for Trance, the Duke betrayed the utmost disquietude, and iustantly ordered an express to fulluw him, for the purpose, if possible, of bringing him bask. The letter which the Duke seat by the express was directed as fol lows:—" To the messenger who left Brighton on Friday night in a " cheise and tour, with dispatches from Lord Liverpool ; or, in his 0 abssnce, to the Duchess de Castii.s, or the Countess of Barrymnre. " at Newhaven."—We sinserely trust that the messenger will be over. taken, or the important dispatches. of eltielt he is the bearer, may tall Tutu the hands of Buonaparte. Louis XVIII. intended, we under stand, to embark at Dieppe for this country, but, finding it iinprae ticable, his Majesty has changed his route, and is proceeding in the direction of lasle. Tire Duke de. Castries. sent off dispatches last night to the Earl of Liverpool. He is still at the Castle Tavern. Gest apprehensions prevail here of au embargo having taken place on the opposite coast. Two of our packets, the Lord ‘Vellington and the Elizabeth, which were in the harbour of Dieppe on Wednesday last have not yet arrived. Estract of a letter from Brighton, dated Fliday, Itl.rell 54a--I have jest lauded from an open boat, in which, with six other passengers. in eluding two ladies, we sailed from Dieppe last eight. Nothing can equal the contusion un the coast. Our English brethren are to be seen approaching in all directions; and on their arrival on the beach, the most anxious enquiries are made for a conveyance to Old England.— lUany appeared mu have walked all the way from Paris; end all cry out against the iniperitions practised on them by Monsieur Froucaise, who, to use a vulgar phrase, I am determined " to make hay while the 61111 :shines." AVlien I left Dieppe, orders had not been received trestop the English, but they were hourly expected; and the recollection of Verdun excited the utmost teeor among our countrymen—they offered any mo ney for a passage over. I heard, as I was stepping into the boat, that a young nobleman, but oho I could not learn, fell from his horse on his road from Paris, and broke his leg. Ile lies dangerously 111 at an inn, where he must wait until Buonaparte :small have decided what is to be done with such me . his British enemies as may fall into his clutches. NEWHAVEN, MARCH 23, NINE A. 31.—A lugger has just arrived from Dieppe, with a messenger with di-patches from the King of France to the Pliece Regent, who proceeded to Brighton imme diately he lauded ; the Rine leas 'tear Abbeville on Tuesday.

Ilitiaierox, Meilen e3.—A Lady, who was landed at Newhaven this moraine, positively affirms that she was at Abbeville yesterday, when Louis XVIII. arrived thew ; that she saw his Majesty, who . appeared to be labouring tinder great mental affliction, fiequesitly shedding teats. Another passeng er, a Gentleman, at present at the Old Ship h ere , says, that lie left Paris on Sunday ; prior to which . , the King had received a letter from Buonaparte, dated at Fontaitiblean, apprizing his Majesry of his intention of entering Pali.; on the fidlowing day, and advising Iris Majesty to depart, but to entertain no apprehen. t e em , f ee th e sif t ty of his person. The seine Geist leman also further adds, that, from subsequeet intelligence he has no doubt of Boone parte having entered Paris on the Monday, with a trifling guard only ; that he instantly repaired to the palace of the Thuilleries. ' evliere the tri•colutirell iluig was raised amidst the shouts and accla- 1 smitious of the people. Not a shot had been fired. PORTSMOUTH, Menet( 23.—A vessel from Havre-de Grace. bringing many passengers, arrived here this aftermion She left Basle yesterday ; a few hours previous to her sailing. a Gentleman - tad readied Havre from Paris, which lie quitted on Tuesday cedi lla,: ; lie ieported that Buonaparte was at Fenteitildeau on Sundae nieltt, and that lie entered Paris on Tuesday with an army of 73,000 men unmolested. lie entered Paris, returning as from a review, with a guard of n t more than :it) soldiers, on Menial afternoon. He immediately I proceeded to the Place du Carousal, where the natiolial gnarls, who .;re drawn up in militaiy older, eromided their AIDIA. amid joined in tee ticasonaele cry ot " Fi r e l'Eiiiiierear !" The King haml with- I I drawn teem his capital about 18 betas bete e, and was well on his -- !LISTER. hf A RCII 26. way to Flanderc, where we understand he will raise his standard nutter the piotection of the British army. The w e!.:tcrn and southern provinces of France are expected to &Elate pOwerfully in his fa. your, and there is no doubt but that the Allied Powers will onani monsly pour into France their emit: Aerated arnica. Forty thi, u . sand of the national guards and homehohl troops had assembled to oppose his entrance; but he sent in a notice to the municipality of that capital, that if a shot V! KAI fired against him, he would give it up to plunder and the tames; be was allowed an unopposed en. trance. DOVER, MARCH 23.-- ay the vessels arrived this day from Ca lais and Boulogne, the news we have is, that Louis XVIII. with Wit suite, is gone from Abbeville to Lisle. In the course of the afternoon of Monday last, about 2000 men, forming the adrauced guard of Buonaparte, and consisting of ca valry and infantry, marched through Pat is, ss ith the tri-coloured cockade, and banners bearing the inscription " Liberty, V4Ctory, and Peace !" They were received as might haie been expected. About midnight the Arch-Tyrant entered with the rest of his troops, the Cockade Nationale w-rs generally hoisted, and there welt, ac clamations. After the MOO men, with which Ney went to enconnter parte, had gone over to the Tyrant, the Marshal hastened to joiii the King, and is reported to have preceded hint to.Lisie, to point it was expected aeme movement would be made b 3 the Allied Troops, in rupport of the Royal natree. Dnytn, MAUCH 23.—That Blm/parte is in Paris, there can now be not a partir lc of doubt. By the vessels that arrived Iron) Calins last night, and one from Boulogne this morning, we learn that he en. tered Paris on Monday, and slept at Sr. Cloud that night. No resist ance whatever was made, and not even a shot fired. Buonaparte made use, as usual, of a portion of tliat finesse of whitih he is so capable ; for as soon us the national guards came out of Paris to give him battle, he desired the troops under him to throw down their arms, and run and embrace their brethren. By tlii• artifice the King's troops refused to attack, and he entered Paris without opposition. A gentle. mall landed here to-day who left Paris ut the instant Burioaporte en tered it. A large embarkation of troops for Ostend thkes place here on Satur day. Four vessels are in sight from Nu mail has been rece i. ed frOm France since Monday. In consequeuce of a squall, the vessels which were coining here are slow runtliog to the Dowits : those %hai l arrived last night hid 60 or 70 passenger► on board. ‘r., MA ISCII beet' a persut who came from , last night at eleven o'clock, and he in;orinq me no mail had arrived from Pais; also assures me, that Louis %tas gone to Lisle. CONSPIRACY TO SHOOT LOUIS XVIII. A Fiend' Nobleman arrived from Pat is states, that a most atrocious conspiracy bad been formed against the life of the French King, which, however, was happily frustrated. On Saturday morning the C/ambre des Mareehaus was crowded by persons of all descriptions. On a sudden, by . a ptecon cetted signal, a considerable body cried out, hive l'Em pereur ;" on which.they were joined by an immense multitude of confederates, who occupied the gardens of the Thuillerics. The object of this clamour was to distract the attention of the National Guards, and give credence to the report of the arrival of Buenapartc ; the conspirators judging that in the confusion of the scene would afford them a favourable op portunity for the execution of their purpose—the assassina tion of Louis. The guardes acted with great promptitude-- they seized the ringleaders ; the partisans of the latter inter fered, and a desperate scuffle ensued, in which several were killed and others desperately wounded. In the midst of these horrible scenes, the Peers mustered around the person of the King, who remained perfectly collected. The gallantry of the National Guard prevailed, nany prisoners were made, and tranquility restored. IN VASION.
