We find from these that there is no troth in the fishing-boat story of the Emperor NAroLtox having arrived at Boulogne. Tie remained in Paris on Sunday, and reviewed 15,000 tfoops on that day. The recruiting of the armies by voluntary eulistment proceeds with great activity. Except the unanimous manifestations of a desire to repel invasion, tranquillity seems to reign through out Fiance. It is announced in the . Moniteur, that all is quiet and well disposed at Bourdeaux, where disturbances are said, by lying stories, to have hap pellet]. Lova XVilf. is stated to have changed the place of his residence from Ghent to Brus sels.--Rot this it will be seen is contradicted by the Brussels Papers. There seems, however, some motion, partaking of disorder, among the Councils of his AI Yes rr the Count. The Pa pers opposed to his cause say, there are serious A mong his political advisers, and that they are leaving him like BERTRIEIt and the military friends on whom he was reckoning.— Certain it is, for it is stated it; his own Loyal Journal of Ghent, that he has recalled TALLETRAND from the Congress, where it is said even that Minister has been broaching doctrines not quite in unison with the declarations and intentions of Louis and his Allies, namely, demanding that the integrity of France,or in plainer lauguage,tha t tlieFretich territory shall be reverted. The Duke de FELTRF. (Cr. 4ner.), J ccounT, La r.r.Y-Tor.r.Exn and itocnuou c tut.; whom our Loyal Journals call clever and good men, are opposed to Iif,ACAS' (the Secretary) party, and the subject of difference must be the policy or inspelicy of Loris leading hostile armies into France. The Moniteur, in remarking on this subject, says, " The war with which we are menaced is a war against the universal independence of na tions. The Allies wish to treat France as they have treated Saxony, Geneva, and the kingdom of [taly ; but they will find here some unexpected difficulties. They will have to encounter 28 millions of free men, 500,000 veterans, and 30,000 officers, who have triumphed over them in fifty battles." It will be remarked, however, that though the tone of the French mind is thus high and confident, the Funds are still low. There is an important admission in the French Papers relative to the state of the Neapolitan army an seticle from Milan represents it as completely disorganized. The Preach division of Gen. GIRARD is said to Mve made a movement towards Piedmont. Is this to succour Joachim? There is a no less Important article from Basle, of the 30th, informing us that a Cabinet Courier had passed through that .place, from Vienna to Paris, with Dispatches from the At/mums to the Fneocu Estrenett. This circumstance is, with some reason, f it be tree, belie Ced to be the earnest of a good ir.;4gistandieg betweep the Emperors, and gives I , THE STATESMAN. ; countenance to the rumour that Austria, like Bata.

During the review, is the nir resounded with the cries of Vice l'Empereur ! The recruiting of the Imperial Guard proceeds I with such activity, that it is presumed, that at the end of this month they will amount to 10,000 men, all having served. Five of six thousand troops from Britantry and Normandy entered here on Sunday and yesterday, amidst the cries of rive l'Emperczu•! The Department of the Aube, which suffered the most from the advance of the enemy last year, has been one of the first to pay its debt to its country. Three battalions of grenadiers and ehasseurs of the .National Guard, animated with the best spirit, are ilreedy equipped, and will be ready to depart in twwor three days. A letter from Lyons of the Ist of May, informs us that the department of the Ain has furnished 5000 volunteers; the Rhone, 6000; and Dauphine, 15,000, The National Guards of the Somme marched on the 3d of May . . For several .days there has been a rumour current that hostilities had commenced at various points. It appears certaiu that there is nothing to justify this: rumour. Prince Lucien, who, by se►eral Journals, has been stated to be travelling to the North and to the South, is still in the Pays de Gea, at the village of Bellevue. We are assured that 15,000 of the National Guards of the department of the Aisne are to felrm the garrison of Lille. • The city of Brest has acceded to the Breton Fede ration. A deputation from that city has arrived at Nantes. English merchant ships continue to arrive in the ports of Calais, Dieppe, Havre, &c. Prince Talleyrand, it is said, has been called to the councils of the Count de Lille, and that M'. Blacas and the Ex-Chancellor Dambray have loot his confidence. AVe are assured that Prince Schwartzenberg will quit Vienna in afew dap, and repair to Frankfort. Va.ious branches of hi) Statr hare taken their route for Ilniisbon. Much is said at Vienna of the discovery of a con• spirscy; but nothing is slated regarding the precise object of the conspirators. A club which bad'been formed at Vienna is vaguely spoken of. Amongst the persons arrested is a Commissary of War, who, it is added, enjoyed great influence. BAst.E, APRIL 30.—A Cabinet Courier from enna, said to be charged ssith dispatches from the Emperor of Austria to the Emperor Napoleon, has,l passed through our city on his way to Paris. It is the first Courier dispatched from Vienna since Napo leon re-ascended the Throne of France. This cir cumstance has ptnduced a most agreeable sensation. Every one believes it is the earnest of a good under. standing between the Emperors. The reply of the Swiss Diet to the communications I which were made on the part of the Daki of Vi cenza, has been transmitted to Col." Lichtenhahii, Commander of Basle, who immediately sent it by his I first Ahl.de.Camp to M. Felix Desportes, who was I at Iruningtien. •M. Desportes received the Swiss Officer with greet condescension ; and it is believed that the good harmony which ought to subsist be tween Switzerland and France will be maintained. The Austrian General Baron Steigenteich has ar rived at Zurich. It is believed he is charged with a mission from his Court to the Swiss Cantons. The workmen on the heights of Montmartre will shortly amount to upwards of 10,000. From the Seine to the Mayne is fortifying, and it is under stood that, in the event of necessity, all the left of the line can be inundated. The Journalists of Lisle anti Brussels would change their tone and despair of their Royal cause, If they had witnessed, as we did, the transports of joy with which his Nla • jesty is received wherever he ,appears, and she, whatever the foreigners may say, is acces. sible to every body. On the Gth, an immense number of Officers received Commissions and orders to repair, without delay, to Avesnes, to which place the Count D'Erlon bas re moved his head-enarters from Lisle. It is said that the Count de Lille knew nothing.of what his Ministers did. At all events he knew well what was the conduct of M. Ferrand—this person had the impudence to ascend the Tribune of the Chamber of Deputies, and to there declare that ti 4 Emigrants alone has acted well. M. Bedock repelled this with indignation. But M. Ferrand _was intmedk, ately made a Secretary of State. A demi-official '1 Journal made a most virulent attack on M. Bedock, and M. Ferrand was immediately made a Count of , the Empire. • O:► the 6th of last month, a husbandman of the ; name of Jean Baptiste, in the commune of St. Enne mond, near Moulins, disappeared from his ling, and all search for his discovery proved ineffec tual. On the 9.3 d, the dog of an inhabitant in the same place, brought home in his month the band of rt: man. The people followed the dog ; it took its road through a bushy wood, stopping at a hole, and; cowling, in which was discovered the body of the unhappy man, who had been assassinated. Some circumstances having led to suspect the wife of this unfortunate man, she has Wu arrested. LIEGF, APRIL 28.—The good disposition of the Saxon troops towards France, manifests itself more and more every day. The three Sixon regiments in garrison here, and particularly the Royal Grena "diets, openly express their attachment to the Em peror. General Blucher is here—in England all the world run after him—here he is utterly unnoticed. The Prussians and the Saxons bear the utmost en mity towards each other. If the Emperor obtains the slightest success, he will find most important friends among all the Allies, and particularly among the Salons and Hanoverian,. BOURDEAUX, APRIL 28.—M1 is tranquil here.— Two loaded vessels have arrived, which bad been taken by the English and released. • FRENCII Furtns—Five per Cents. 56 1. 85 c. Brussels Papers to the Bth, and the Ghent Paper, the Journal Univcr , o l , to tha Sth, arrived also at a late hour this forenoon. The accounts from Ghent completely contradict the statement in the Paris Papers of LoLis XVIII. having mowed Ids Court' to Brussels. He continued there on the 4th, issuing Peoclamations denouncing the French soldiery as " mutinous traitors," and telling them that fo reign armies were on their march to chastise them and all the adherents of NArouroN. The -Doke of WELLINGTON left Brussels on the 6th, taking the road to Ghent. Apprehensions seem to be en tertained .for the safety of that place and the precious deposits there. It is stated in the pub lic announcements from that quarter, that tee OccOnnts from the frontiers speak of a movement of troops in the direction of Cambray, and that " 80. NAPARTE'S equipage has been seen at Sculls." • By the same channel we have the information that "the Gazette of Florence announces, that:on the . : 7th of this month (April) Lord 131:NTINCIi sent or ders to the different English Commanders in the Mediterranean to begin hostilities against King' JOACHIM, by sea and land." The Sovereigns who have been " keepieg it up"' so brilliantly and so long at Vienna, are to give as memorable a finish to their feasting and dancing as they have done to their political arrangements.— Before they proceed to the less pleasing occupations of the field of war, they are to give a " brilliant' fete," by way of finale, in the open air 'at Vienna,. in which "they are to renew the oath of fidelity to • the sacred Confederation for the repose and liberfyl of the world—that world which we fear i 5 dull PARIS, MAY 6.—llis Majesty went out on horse enough to suppose thnt of su c h re p ose an d lib erty, back, at six o'clock this morning, accompanied solely by Counts Corbeneau, Drouet, and De Flo- dancing and swearing it has had just quantum :illicit. haut, his Aid-de-Camps on duly ;he went to • fee GHENT, M ax 4.—The King of France continues the new manufactory of arms which is established in to enjoy. very pod health.

The object of his mission is to engage the embrace the cause of the Allied Powers; he has ready obtained the votes of 11 Cantons. r It will he observed from oar Parliamentary repot that Ministers admit they are in a quandary, at the point of a Declaration of War.
