"The question then comes to this : A great nation, strong and brave, has changed its Chef. The clue t, hon it has chosen promises the Government which it desires. It believes his premises. The foreigner has no more to say. We respect his independence ; let him respect out's . " He ha , no right to attack it, and experience has sufficiently shown, that when we are united lie cannot wiili any elect." The Duke of Wellington is arrived at Brussels, and the troops of the Allies are marching from every point to the French fnntiers. There was a report yesterday morning of the arrival of courier from France. There is no truth in it. We have papers from M. , iseilles, and accounts. to the 27th of last month. The entrance of Buonaparte, whom they stye the Man of Blond of the Iron Island,. into Paris, was known, but had produced no diminution in the attachment of the people to the Boutbons. The white flag was flying fron every window and the white cockade was seen in every The Prince Regent's Message was taken into consideration in both Houses of Parlia►tient on Friday night. Addresses were moved and carried in both 1-louses---in the Ilouse of Lords unanimously; in the llothe of Commons by a majo- Litt• of 220 to 37. The troops of the several Allied Powers are pouring into Bekium from all quarters. Already are the combined forces in.noo "(long. 'l'hi►ty Thousand Prtusians have arrived at .I:a.nur, in the highest spirits. In Berlin and all the towns rrnssia, enthusiasm, and indignation at the unrivalled treaci c►y of Buonaparte's adherents were at their height, :scarcely a (leak oemained in the counting•hoc .es to transact business. Yowl: , men of t•ery rank came forward with the ardour as in 181 to volunteer their services in the cause of their country and of human nuturc.

Tuesday evening, Paris Papers of Saturday last arrived, as well as Bordeaux Papets of the 26th ult.—The latter are im portant, as they contain an address from the Pt elect of the Department of the Gironde, to the persons within his juris diction, informing them that his MAjestv Louis XVIII. per ceiving that a battle was likely to be feught undet the w a lls of Paris, and wishing to avert the chances of pillage and de• vastation, had departed to the Northern frontier. The Prefect, therefore, announces, that the Departments of the South will form one Government, under the Duke of An gouleme, and calls on the Volunteers of the National Guards to rally round the standard of their legitimate Sovereign.— The Paris papers arc silent on the subject, as an address so loyal and unexpected must be extremely galling to Burma parte, who was still in Paris on Friday. Ney has been dis patched from Paris to command the army on the side of Belgium. It is admitted that about 2000 cavalry, com manded by Mat moat, General Law iston, and twenty other Generals, accompanied Monsieur and the Duke de Berri out of France, taking the road from Estan es, in the Department of the North, to Menin. Buonapatte, in his present situa tion, finds it necessary to dissemble and to exhibit symptoms of affected magnanimity, as a proof of his moderation and the extinction of his former rancour and hatted against the Bouthons. Ile has rewarded one. of the National Guards with an Eagle of the Legion of Honour, who was the one who offered to escort Monsieur from Lyons ; and speaking of the authors of what he calls the libels against himself. re, quires that they should in future wri!e nothing good of hint, nor ill of the Bourbons. The Palk Papers continued to hold out the expectation of the return of the Empress Maria Louisa ; her equipage set off from Versailles on the 27th last. Letters from Rome of the 14th last, state that the Neapoli tan troops which surrounded that city were preparing fur an expedition. The Paris Papers of Saturday and Sunday last arrived on Wednesday. Buonapatte is at length obliged officially to admit, that a civil war against his authority has broken out in the South. The Monikur of Saturday contains two tele. graphic dispatches received that morning from Lyons, which state that. on Thursday last an engagement took place at Montelimart, in the Department of the Monte, between the -National Guards of that Department, and a body -of t he people. According to the dispatch of the Prefect, the Na- tional Guard consisting of 600 men, were, attacked by a considerable body of Insurgents of. the South, who are de nominated rebels by the Usurper, but whom, we are told, were dispersed in a moment. The Duke of Angouleme was on the 29'h at Montelim Al, but it is said, made his escape. A subsequent dispatch states, that the Alareiliois fly in all directions, and that not a shot has nor wilt be fired. This statement, however, contradicts the former, in which it • was admitted there was an engagement ; but the Moniteur, of course, is not permitted to detail or disclose the facts. The Doke of A ugouleme, it will. be recollected, wac sent from But deans to Nismes, to organise a force in the tear of Buonapat te.—Of the fact of insurrections existing in the South, a further corroboration is received by the art ival of dispatches front Bordeaux brought to Falmouth by the French lugger L'Esperance. In this vessel came over Col. the Baron Labadayse, hearing dispatches from the Duchess . d Angouleme to iris Majesty Louis XVIII: (who was supposed at Bordeaux to have arrived in.
