LONDON: THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1315: Though at quick march, the Guard was so nu merous as to require two hours to defile before the EMPEROR. The tricoloured flag was hoistettat Marseilles on the 1/th instant ; and thus internal tranquillity reigned through all France. The fact was announced at noon on Sunday last, by the discharge of 100 pieces of cannon. Not the least important statement in these Papers is that regarding Marshal SOUL; who is again come into view. That distinguished Commander, and not less able Statesman, had an audience of the Emperor on Sunday, and it is said, that in case of war be is to have an important command. There is another circular from the Minister of War, CARNOT, to the Prefects, erging theimportance of the levies, and ihtendeil to animate thesis in the measure so necessary to the defence of tbe country. There will be, it is said, in a short tine in Pro. vence an army of 100,000. The project of the new Constitution was to be published on the 20th (to.da)). TI ore is a long and curious article in the Moniker frr.rn Vienna, on the subject of the new league against France, in which it is said, the Allies demanded from England subsidies to the amount of Fifteen Millions sterling, without which they could not move. The purport of the article is, to convince the French that the ground on which the Allies formed their hopes of success is the internal divisions in France ; and that they counted on the prospeot of the insurrection which the Duke of Ascotrutsta would raise in the South, and the Duke of &wagon in the West of France; all which hopes would of course be disap pointed by the accounts since received. There is another notice of the movements of MURAT, tending to confirm the former stateatents.— The Graeae de France of Monday says, the rumour runs that the King of NAPLES, after baring bad as affair with the Austrians at Maisano., in which It took a great number of prisoners, entered Mielae r and that all Lombardy bin Insurrection. I. : An article from Augsburg of the 9th says, " The Congress, it Is said, have decided that the Marches shell not remain with the King of NAPLES, although they were guaranteed by preceding Treaties : and it appears probable that the Ministers TAr.r.ey- RAND and No slum had obtained the consent of the Congress to decide against his interests. No sooner, however, was the success of NAPOLEON at Paris, known, than the Congress suddenly changed its tone: not only was King MunsT de clared a legitimate Sovereign, but the resolutions which had just been made against him were rescinded. The Count de Nizereao, Master of the Household Ito the Empress MARIA LOUISA was suddenly dis 1r patched to him. He set out on the Ist of April, but it is feared lie will arrive too late, or that King JOACHIM will not be duped by this tardy declaration. At all events, a very considerable Austrian force is ordered to be assembled in Tuscany." The letter of M. TALLEVRAND to Lord CASTLE. ILION and lord CASTT.EREAGH'S Curious letter to Prince Merrensicir, are inserted. The French Funds are improving—they are at 59g. The latest intelligence in the German Papers, from Vienna, is of the sth, which is prior to the depr itune of Mr. tiIrALL, the Messenger, whose dispatches brought an account of the commencement of hostili ties in Italy, between the Neapolitan and Austrian troops. The intelligence, therefore, in these Pa pers, of the disposition of hlenaT in favour of the Allies, is of.little interest. The Congress, which has tired every body by its sittings, was drawing to a close, and M. GENTZ, its Secretary, has, we are told, got nearly ready for pub lication, a ponderous account of all the resolutions French Papers to the 18th, and a Mail from Hamburgh, arrived last night. The intelligence from Paris gives the lie to the statements of certain writers in this country, who have been asserting with the confidence of their and proceedings of this famous Divan, which will, usual assertions regarding matters that they know perhaps, be given to the world at the same time, and nothing about, that the Emperor NAPOLEON afford it as much amusement and instruction, as was afraid—afraid! to review the National i Lord CASTLEREAGH'S " Long Story."

The CnixcEr.Loa of the EXCHEQUER, in pur seance of his notice, moved, " '1 hat the House should resolve itself into a Committee of Ways and Mains to which the Property Tax Acts should be referred." Mr. WHITBREAD, in a speech of great , energy and eloquence, in which he reviewed our do. mestie and foreign policy, opposed the SPEAKER'S leaving the Chair, until an explicit declaration was merle by Ministers, whether the country was or was not at war ? A long discussion followed, in which the impolicy of the war was, at considerable length, and very generally, reprobated by the independent Members. In the course of the debate Mr. BRAND churl d, as an amendment, " That the discussion on the Property Tax should be postponed to that night fortnight."

" The troops under the immediate orders of Ge. sterol Loverdo, hating under him a Chief of Batts. lion of the 58th, who had long been detached from his corps, made their appearance to attack an ad• valued post which guarded the defile of La Saulce. " On the first information of !heir approach Colonel Cbauveau advanced to the assistance of his picquet. _ _ . _ " Having arrived to within a few paces, he ad vanced between the two columns to attempt to parley, having prohibited his troop to fire first. He was shot at ; his troop then vigorously returned the fire, and darted forward to the charge. The assail ants, though thrown into disorder by the first shock, rallied and made a new attack, still more unsuccess ful than the first ; 150 of them were killed or thrown into the Durance; a great many were wounded; among others, General Loverde,. severely. " The troops of General Protean did not exceed 300 men, and n company of artillery.. Their as sailants were 2000 in number, with two pieces of cannon. " The enemy left in our hands a white standard, on which were embroidered in gold, the words, the Bourbons or death. 66 Nut day,- the Bth, the insurgents ■ttempted a second attack; but this time the National Guards of the village of Vitrolles, alone sufficed to repulse them on Sisternii, whither they retired in disorder. It was on this day that the Duke D'Angouleme capi tulated. General D'Aultanne, his chief of staff, ar rived here this morning, the 15,h, and presented himself to receive the orde►s of his Excellency the Minister at War, aho sent hint under close arrest, to his residence, in Paris. • COURIER EXTR AOR N aRI % 111.mday Naming.

The Mite of Dalmatia, Mrs rehel Soult, has had a particular audience of his Majesty. It is said that in case of war, Marshal Soult will occupy an im portant post in the army. It is said that Count Be Ward will be charged by his Majesty with an extraordinary minion. The Baron Vitrnlles who was arrested at Thou. loose, has arrived in Paris. The Commercial Board of Nantes has received in. that French vessels have been captured by the English in the river of Bourdeaux. The apartments of the Elysee are preparing. The Emperor, it is said, proposes to pass some days there. The Horace* was performed the day before yes terday at the Theatre Francais. The pit would not allow the spectacle to begin until the orchestra played The Marseillaise, the first couplet of which was sung in chorus.
