But there is another object in view, which k as little disguised, and as little calculated to gain friends to the cause, at least among the French, as this war for legitimacy, and that is the blood of 13nNAPIRTZ. Nothing hut this will now satisfy the High Allied Powers. " By breaking the Conven 'potion which established him in the Island of Elba," says the Declaration, 64 he destroys the only legal title on which his existence depended. By appearing again in France, with projects of confusion and dis order, he has deprived himself of the protection of the law," and he is therefore declared placed with out the pale of civil and social relations," and no quarter is to he given to him. 44 Vengeance is mine, and I will repay."—" First catch a fish," &c. The names of the Ministers of Austria and France (TALtraritArro among the number), are affixed to this terrible Manifesto. ltu±•i t. [FROM A LETT£R.] V!I.NNA, I%lAuctl 13.—The Aulic Council of War is in continual activity; about 40 expresses have been sent slurp the day before yesterday to Italy, Iluugtu s , Gallicia, and li..hemia ; SO battalions of iNfatitry, 110 squadrons of cavalry, and a numerous train of artillery ' have received orders to march im mediately to the Rhine. His Majesty the King of Prussia has named Prince Blucher to the chief com mand of all the forces which are ordered to proceed by forced marches to the Lower Rhine. The Russian army on the Vistula, as well as that of General Bentligseu, has received orders to march to Germany ; it will be replaced by the reserve army on the banks of the Niemen. The King of Bivaria has promised to furnish 40,000 men under Prince Wrede. The Archduke John is to commend the Austrian troops in Italy ; the troops of the King of Sardinia will be under his command. Duke of Wellington will c ,, mtnand the Allied Army, composed of English, lisilioverialis, Dutch, and Belgian troops, destined to operate in the Netherlands. To those forces, which are already so respectable, the Emperor of Russia has promised to add 40,000 Russians, including 1%4000 c miry. Lastly, it has been resolved, that if circumstances should require It, the Emperors of 11 , e.sia and Austria, and the Kings of Prussia and Bavaria, shall repair to Frankfort on the Maine, and remain there tocettier till all is settled. Bitussm.s, Nl...nen 22.—A courier from Vienna, which in left on the 15th inst. brings word that Italy is in a stale of tranquillity.—The Ministers of the King of Naples had declared to the Congress, that there was no foundation whatever for the news that the King had an uorlerstanding with Bonaparte. Tile military movements continue upon our fron tiers ; the Prussian troops have established nume rous posts at the extremities of the frontiers Gf Luxemburg, bofore Loogwy, as well. as about toe village of Trecattge, on the road to T:,iottitille: it is the same on tie Stare; the fortress of Bische and S4sr-loci: are closely observed by tie Prus,iatts awl Bavarians: the Austrians and the troops of the Empire, have made a movement towards Landau on t!-- ether If we were to decide upon the policy of this im -1 portant and death-denouncing document, we would say, that perhaps a more unfortunate and ill.itimed Declaration of Royal hate and resolution to carry on a war of extermination, to replace a banished family on the throne of a great, a brave, and an enlighten ed Empire, and to glut a vengeful appetite with the blood of one chosen man,—chosen by the unanimous voice of the Empire he governs, never was issued by any Council of Princes. It is clear from tte docu ment itself, that the Powers who issued it, were guided more by their own apprehensions than any actual knowledge of the state of the public mind in France. It is issued upon the bare knowledge of theentry of BONAPARTE into that country, and taiks about 64 all France rallying round the standard of their legitimate Sovereign,"—whereas the contrary is the case, and the whole French liation is tallying round the standard of this proscribed man. Again, the neclaration speaks of •r this attempt to plunge the world into the disorders and miseries of R. volutions." As far as regards France the Re volution is already complete, and neither disorder nor misery have as yet been the consequence of the bold attempt. Not a man ventured to lose his life for this cause which the Allies have espoused so warmly. And with respect to carrying Revolution into foreign nations a, the Allies say they will, what says the party so awfully denounced ? u We wish not to interfere i the atfaits of foreign nations, bat woe to those who shill intermeddle in ours" —and, certainly, *l' rder and misery, to no small extent, will be the consequence of the Allied Powers attempting to carry this, their rash, Declara tion into effect. The circumhtatice of the few Frenchmen who at tended Louis in his melancholy retreat to Lisle hav ing already abandoned him, and the necessity which the unfortunate King has been under of taking refuge at Touruay, under the protection of a British glrrison, together with the umlisturlfed state of the French nation at this moment, agitated nppareetly only by threats of forei..7,n aggression, suflicient!y eviece the disposi (kit which '' all France has to ratty round the standard of its legitimate Sovereign," and t:•e ideas whit:h the people of that nation enrer(aie as tit the .necessity of shedding their blood for Princes ho found their title to reign on legitimacy alone. Bat let us sun nse, for a moment, that the Powers united to support King Louts, sliquld so far succeed in their Herculean task, as to thee him again on the Throne of the CAPETS—that after cutting their way to Paris, through the bleeding ranks of French men, he should be marched trininphawly into the Capital, on the shoulders of the Cossacks—what then ? Will this accomplish that which ought to he the object of the grand alliance—the security, the tranquillity of Europe, and giving peace and hap piness to France and the Continent ? Who knows not that this would he the mnst effectual way of de fea,ing such an object, and perpetuating discontent, discord, and the wish for revolutions ? Why, it would require the constant presence of '200,000 lte , sians, Prussians, or 44 furious Franks and fiery Huns," in the Capital of France, to preserve the feeble and imposed Monarch upon his ever totter ing throne—two hundred thousand foreign spears, at least, would be necessary in France as a guard for the Sovereign thus imposed against the out. raged feelings of the people, and that to en indefi nite period, allowing the Allies succeeded to their most sanguine wish in the object which they seem now to have espoused. And will any one skilled in finance,and national resources point out where that mine of wealth is to be found which shall support so costly and lasting a peace establishment for the Bounaoses and the world, whose tranquillity, we are sorry to perceive, is again made to depend on the preservation of their precious dynasty. In our humble opinion, SISYPHUS, whom the Gods doomed to roll a huge stone up a mountain in the Tarlarean regions for his perfidy and numerous robberies, and 1 which stone continually rebounded down hill as fast as poor StsYrnes succeeded in getting it up, had not a more hopeless task set to him to perform, than the A!- lied Sovereigns of Europe have imposed upon them selves in the determination they hove made to replace I Louts BOURBON on the throne of France. and IranOverian troops on our froittit-rs In , conie daily more numerous ; the news I o'n Loll:Ion of the ISO), state, that 20,000 CllO5Oll 1!•..41i!.',1 troops are r‘stei‘)L.to Belgiotn ; they will he t I.nt ;I Hill, wkose glory and exploits are assockted with those of the illustrious Welling ton.

Europe now sees what it has to expect—what it has been fighting for during so many years—what it ' to he plu.ieed into war for again, and desolated to an ititermi•iable period— to restore the BOURBONS to tae 'Throne of Frame, against the wishes of the people; and to repair, most dreadful of all tasks! Coe fatal errors of the Congress of Vienna. What has been stated of the determination of the Allied Powers composing this memorable Congress, and who signed, and have kept so well those trea ties which were to secure the peace of Eu rope—to support the cause of LovrsX VIII. and put BONAPARTE, if they can accomplish it, to death—is conarmed. The Brussels Papers have brought us a copy of the Declaration of the United Powers, in fell Congress assembled, relative to the appearance N ten:Ai:Dr again in France. The Declaration is r munirated by the l'rince of OILING! to his Mi niver of Justice. The Prince states explicitly ) that N.troLtost seems perfectly aware of his danger. He is indefatigable in his preparations , to repel inva- 1 sion. lie was expected at Lisle on Saturday last, the garrison of which place, and the people in ge neral, had declared in his favour, notwithstanding the trumpery and Tenacious trash we see in the Brussels Papers, under the name of addresses of loyalty from this very garrison and town to Louis XVIII. All the garrisons in French Flanders are represented as disposed to show an equal devotion to the EMPEROR; and we hear reports of the state of the public mind throughout all the Netherlands, which it would not be in favour of the enemies of BONAPARTE to have confirmed. We have unwittingly gone so far into observation on the important State Document we this day lay before the public, that we have neither space nor LOSS O[' THE ALEXANDER.

Early in the morn* the Prince &palled f or Valencienttrs, after having r'moved Gen. D o r o „, , the CorninantLint of the place. The garr i son wl , i,:h left Lille on the 13th, returned to it on the 2'itii ; that of Arras, which it had replaced, returns t o i ts own garrison. The volunteers who left Lille a few days ago were likewise expected b..ck. to be the spot on which the prize of ambition is again to be contested. Lord NV vir,r.ixoToN, was at the date of the catest accounts, expected immediately in Brus sels to take the command—not of the whole Allied forces, but only of the English, Hanoverian, Dutch, and B.lgian troops. BLUCHER commends the Prus sian army, which is said to amount to 100.000 men, and is pushing, by forced marches, to tho Lower Rhine. The Russian army on the Vistula, as well as that of General BENNINGSEN, has received orders to match to Germany ; it will be replaced by the re serve army on the banks of the Niemen. The King of BAVARIA. is to furnish 40,000 men, under Prince WREDE. The Archduke JOHN is to command the Aust;:%tt troo:1 in Italy ; the troops of the King of SAanmA will be under his command. The Em peror of Russ:A has promised to add 40,000 Rus sians, including 12,000 cavalry, to his former con- tingent. Lastly, say the accounts, it has been re solved, that if circumstances should require it, the Emperors of itusstA and AUSTRIA, and the Kings of PitusslA and 13ATARIA. shall repair to Frank fort, and remain there together till all is sailed! Perhaps their Majesties my have to wait some time if they are disposed to sit down quietly and wait for this. On the other hand, we find there is an immense military force collecting in France, around Paris, and marching to the vulnerable parts of the frontier. —The whole military force new at the command of 110 NA ItTv: is estimated at more than 400,000 men, one half of whom are tit for any service, and the other for garrison duty. 111otAT has a great army well prepared to repel invasion in Italy. Bausschs, MARCH 9, 3 . —The Dach-ss Dowager of Orleans has just arrived in this city, as well as the Countess of Latour du Pin, the wife of the former Prefect of this depArtment ; and Countess wife of the General of that name, who distinguished ' himself last year by his military operations in Flan ders, and who now follows, with equal firmness aid' loyalty, the fortunes of Louis XVIII. Many other persons who have left France:arrive here succes sively, to seek its a hospitable country an asylum from the evils which again oppress their unhappy country. Numerous couriers continue to pass night and day without interruption through this city to different quarters. The nature of circumstances, and the events of which Fr. n •It Flanders, Artois, and Cam bresis, are, perhaps, on the point of becoming the theatre, gibe rise to this active correspondence. We Irani front Namur, that the day before yester day there passsed throtNlt that city a considerable body of troops, chiefly cavalry, helonginz to the army of General Kleist de Nottendorf, which pro ceeiled towards Gewet and Pitirweville. Letters from IVesel state, that 100,000 Prussian troops are proceeding from all parts of Prussia by foretql matches to the Rhine. The Eintor of Ilesse Cassel puts in, motion 20,000 of his best troops for the same destination. The first regiment of Pru3sian Black Ilussars is expected this week. I.‘UiANNF., MARCH I l g.—The Diet has ordered a cordon of 15,000 troops, which are to occupy the frontiers of Geneva awl the Valiais. • All the English are letivitt; Geneva.

The Magistrates of Genova have called upon the citizens to do their military duty in person ; they hare reinforced all the stations, and ic:creased the i number of pests.

Toe chasseurs, who formed part of the garrison of Mons, have passed through this town, goirtg to tlo camp which is fnrntiug nn the Meuse, between Venlon and Mites : they rue replaced at duns by some Hanove rian battalions. The Ist regiment of Engli:liGuarils now here is ordered to the frontiers. The arrival and landing of Englisi, troops at Ostend was ex peCted to begin yesterday. General Nielson arrived here yesterday evening. A train of artillery arrived here yester day, and left us again to-day for its destination.

We observed with much surprise, that at the mag nificent entertainment given by the LORD MAvott yesterday, at the Mansion-liouse, not one of his Ma jesty's Ministers, who are unifontly invited upon Such occasions, were present. Nor was this marked disrespect applied to the great Metropolis of the em pire atone, but also to the gallant Lord Lartanoct (fir THOMAS GrtAtiAst), who, it was veil known, wns specially invited for the express purpose of re ceiving the sword voted to him by the City. We believe that this is the first instance on record of so signal an insult being offered to the seat of the empire, In the person of its Chief Magis trate. At this important crisis, we hardly sup posed it possible, that so impolitic, so con. temptuous a mark of Ministerial anger could have been shown by even oar present rulers, of whose sagacity, certainly we have no great opinion.— Iles Lord CASTLEREAGJS brought with him from Vienna his bed of roses, on which Ministers can re pose with such tranquillity, that they suppose they may have no occasion for the services of the richest part of the community, on whom they have for ro many y ears depended, rind on whom they are again about to depend fer Loans, and all the other rams of supporting us expeusive and probably protracted war ?—but the policy of the Administration is to be measured by no common scale, and this is a proof of it as incontrovertible as the many others, vahich hourly present themselves to the notice of this ia• suited nation.
