EXMACt OF A LLTIER FllOll BOTJRDEAUX I APRIL " As soon as it was known that the Emperor bad entered Paris, the National Guards and the troops of the line were assembled, on being told that MOM. pected events required their active service. Yester day there was a grand review hi the Champs de Mars ; the Duchess d'Angouleme repaired thither *e l en open carriage, passed along the line, and require 4 of the troops to take an oath never to acknowledge Napoleon. 1 ° Count De Poulat, commanding the National Guard, presented himself to each company, and de sired the Officers who wished to support the cause of the King to pass to the right. Several of them- did so. Ile then gave the same invitation to the grena diers and chasseurs ; but only a very small number left the ranks. With respect to the battalion of che valiers formed on the 12th of March, they all offered their service as well as the royal company of canoe tiers of M. Castillon. The Count was not satisfied with this attempt ; he diade another upon two cow• panies of grenadiers, composed of honest inhabi tants. whose liberal principles entitled them to be called the companies of the Isle of Elba and Porto Ferrajo. With one accord these two companies pro mised to watch over the maintenance of order, but refused to quit their homes. This declaration was far from satisfying the Royalists, but they dared not manifest their discontent. " During several weeks enrolments had been made among the latter class of people; in it were com prised vagabond boys, who were paid one franc a day. It was said they had no arms ; hut it was soon found that the treason of the Mayor had kept those concealed during three or four years. " The day before yesterday the National Guards were made to give an entertainment to the other tops of the Hite in a public garden; and when their beads were intoxicated with settle, they were made to take a new oath to fight against the troops of the Emperor. The Duchess d'Angouleme again excited the zeal of her partizans. Their joy was like a savage delirium. These madman would have torn in pieces several peaceable citizens Who happened to be in the place, if some persons had not rescued them from their hands. At length we received information yes terday that General Clause! had arrived at St. Andre de Celiac, and had been joined by all the troops in , his way. When he came to the Bastide, be was op posed b) the National Guards, who fired some shots; but the tire was not returned. The fermentation then became very great. Castillon had first his batteries at the gate, and the troops of the line were sent td the Castle. " M. Martigmiac passed the river for the purpose f bearing a flag of truce. It was said that the rrinc.ess had left this place at two in the morning; and every body was pl..ased with the intelligence, be cause it was found that her presence would excite a part of the National Guard to fight against the troops. But the Prefect and the Mayor were the only partisans is favour of Pouillac, and the Prin cess still at Bourdeaux, was attending Mass in the cathedral. " On her quitting the church, a horde of robbers surrounded her, and begged of her to remain there, and called for arms; those they received from the Mayor. And these e retches, threatening to commit every kind of excess, ran through the streets with frightful vocifirations, amid entered the Castle. The Princess encouraged them, and all the honest inha bitants tremhjed for their lives, and those of their wives and children. The Duchess then went about The Minister of Marine has given orders to make no chauge of flag in our ports, until further order not to endanger the fate of the vessels at this moment sailing ander the white flag. It is said that M. Benjamin Constant is one of the Commissioners charged with preparing the Constitu tional Act which is to be submitted to the discussion and adoption of the Electoral Colleges. It is added that M. Gregoire, late senator, has been appointed a Commissioner. • We'are assured that M.Flahout set off a few days ago for Vienna. The Baro►► Bouvier Dumolard, appointed prefect of the Meurthe, 'arrived at Nancy on the 29th ult. The Journal of Nancy states, that that magistrate, just before entering the territories of his department, • ►►as attacked by seven bligands, armed with muskets, and plundered of cash to the amount of 18,000 francs, and other valuable property. Various letters from commercial houses in London, dated March 31, addressed to merchants in France, agree in giving assurances that they may continue their transactions with England, which is by no means disposed to be the first to disturb the tranquil lity of Europe. Merchant vessels continue to arrive in the ports of the Channel, and hitherto no English sbip of war has been seen on the Havre coast. M. Gallois is mentioned as one of the publicists who co-operate in digesting the Constitutional Act. DUTCh 11ML. . Bensons, Aram s.—The Prussian troops which have crossed over from the right bank of the Rhine to repair along the Meese to the French frontiers, have taken up their position in the environs of Marche, eight leagues from Namen, where the head quarters are at present. This is a very 6ne corps, has a numerous artillery, and very excellent cavalry ; I it will be increased by the Saxons, under General Thielmann, by the German Legion, by four regiments lof cavalry, and some infantry, by which it will amount to about 50,000 men. This corps will make the left wing of the greed army under the immediate command of Wellington, and be taken into English pay. This army will communicate with the great Prussian army under Marshal Blucher, of which con- 1 siderable corps are already at Luxemburg and Treves, and on the Moselle, and to which the Russian troops are to be joined. Next week we expect two regimented Hanoverian hussars and the ten battalions of infantry, and the 10,000 troops of Brunswick about the 15th. Gens. ' Kleist and Bolow are here to concert measures with the Duke of Wellington. The household troops of the King of Franca . ' laic!' followed him to Belgium, increase daily. Some emissaries of Bonaparte have been discovered among the faithful servants of the Ring; some have been arrested, and escorted to the frontiers. Within . these three days two Generall y several Lieutenant. Colonels, and 50 or 60 Officers, have joined Louis XVI 11. at Ghent. Louis XVIII. has sent dis patches to Vienna, and, as we hear, has received very satisfactory accounts from his Minister there. liAiga, AMU 6.—On the 23d March the Act recogn;i.ing our beloved Sovereign us King of thy Netin and Grand Deke or. Luxemburg, was signed by the following Plenipotentiaries - of the, Ore heat Power:: Welliegtisn, Mettirrnich, Hs rdeo ta.rg, itasumoubket, Talleyrand, Neaselrode, Hum boldt, Wessenberg. LETTER PROM VIENNA, MARCH 27.—The King of Saxony, it is said, has now at last aimed the conditions laid before him; there is, therefore, reason to hope that the rest of th e affairs of Germany will be immediately discussed ; instead of the German Committee, a General German Congress will be formed. The Austrians send 150,000 men to the Rhine and Switzerland, and a great army to Italy, to sup• port the Kiug of Sardinia, and be prepared to op pose the King of Naples, who has assumed a hostile appearance towards Austria. The Russians send four corps to Germany, in all 180,000 men, and 60,000 horses. The whole force of Prussia is partly already assembled beyond the Rhine, partly on the Marche, as well ■s all the German Allies ; the most l of them are to be collected by the Ist May. 1 1 It is said the Diplomatic Union of the Allied Powers will become a military one, and take the name of Head-Quarters of the Allies. The accession of the King of Stony to the decision of the Con gress has been much accelerated by the present cir cumstances. Some of the Powers represented in very urgent terms the bad impression which a farther refusal must make at this moment, when Bonaparte is ia France again.

A sort of skirmish took place between the latter and the former, who were loaded by the Duke d'Augos levee, in which about 30 men were killed or wounded; whew the rebels hoisted the tri-coloured fag, and passed the bridge, the Imperial troops hastening to embrace them—at this moment the traitors again assuming the white ff flag, fired, and thus gained a nsomentary advattlige.
