Another day has cosset] away and still no satisfac tory intel!igence f►om Park and the armies that were approachinelt—nay, not even a word of any kind is Elorded to relieve the deep anxiety which now prevails iii dna public) mind. We have kept the press open in the latest hour in expectation of being able to dis. bipata the growing gloom occasioned by this Ohl silence on a subject interesting to the world and to humanity ; but we are still doomed to speculate in lizik nes,. In this state of suspense we shall not hazard many opinions, but our duty is to remark on such circumstances as call for notice. It is now eight days since the Allied armies were withiu a few miles of Paris—anticipating a peaceful and triumphant entry into that capital—it is now some days since we were told so much appearance of opposition to this had been eahibited, that the Allied Troops had been under the necessity of commencing a bombardment of that splendid city, and that they must have occupied it a short time after this vigorous way of dealing was put in practice—yet we hate still no assurance that thii is the rect. The inference from this silence is, that the 'amours to this effect are not true. We are in formed that the Deal Telegraph reported, et the close of yesterday evening, the arrival of an Officer with Dispatches from France, bringing accounts of en action in the vicinity of Paris, urged on by the Allies, for the purpose of obtaining pos session tqf the heights, in which attempt it is 'ski they were successful.—We think, had say such Officer or accounts arrived (for the Mes senger must have been in town before now), we fhoti!il have bad some official notification of its The gramd question is, has resistance been ventured upon at all ? If it has, iii effects must be dreadful, and NAPOLEON and the most determined of his followers must have been in the midst of it to stimulate the daring resolution. If the Duke of WELLINGTON . has pot entered PelfiS, what could have prevented him, after spurning at all offers tq treat with the present Government ? If his Grace has not given a decided negative to the propositions of the Commissioners, it is made pretty evirkit that Prince &opine' would not listen to them. Has the consequence of this beets a union of all hearts and hands in and around the french capital to defend it to the last, and perish with their independence ; and have the Proclamations of the coming Ntonarch, who is breathing vengeance oa half the nation, tended to give the elements of resistance additional strength ? It is by no means unlikely that this i 3 the case. The greatest and the mast speedy development of the remaining force cf the country would ha made to second the offers of peace—to save France from an anticipated reign of horrors, and the lives of the most prominent of her warriors and her statesmen. It is therefore not improbable that the Provisional Government has been sufficic,•iy alert to collect from the South and West, and, perhaps, even from the North, a consi derable body of troops of the line, which, with the Natiatial Guards and the armed Confederates who pave cworn pot to allow the capital to be twice given pp to the fore'gner, mty have induced the Allies to pause, or driven them to the necessity of risking hostile operations against the city. Paris might be entered at malty points ; but unless possession of the ]heights which command it could be obtained, there would lie no safety in Paris. The rumour regarding action for thc heights of Montmartre says, Oa Allies, after obtaining possession of that station, turned the guns on the city.. But there must have been dreadful work before this could have happened. 4nother rumour ati ! tes, that the Prussians, in at. teonptitig to enter the city, had sustained an immense lost y the est:Act:ion of a mine, and been obliged to vetreat. A third report will have it that Marshal Gatiucia y, with the force from Sois.;onS, amounting to nearer (2ml:ctn.'s estimate (60,000) than :Ctn.'s (2#,000), bad succeeded in getting bet Ween the ltus. and Oa British, cutting off their commuisica- Tions; and 03t Mince BLUCEIER, in attempting to fall hack on the British, had been defeated. — lire puke or Ylfat.t,tociro!!!!" eirpression, that he vppreAqifled no danger Irons the temporary separa. • tion o the graliti Is Matle to imply a suspicion of the posl.ibliity of some attempt to prof 4 by this disiiition.

Some of them openly nines, their conviction of At itopossi , 1 1 bility of preserving the Throne of St. Louts. They Ray, and they see, that although the Bs:mimosa were zestored in France, the presence of an immense fn.. I reign forte Would be necessary there to maintain that family on the Throne and the arrangements that must, follow, and that endless war and incalculable evpeuce, rather than general tranquillity, would be I the consequence of replacing the banished family.-- We hear that Lord WzzeoLe goes immediately to i Vienna, express. It is supposed the Emperor of AUSTRIA is far from being averse to the pro. ject of placing his grandson on the Throne of i France, and putting in his hands and at his dis- I posal the sovereign sway and the immense resources t of that vast Empire. Certain it is, also, that, in. stead of a common Messenger, Mr. PEELE is to set f out this day to communicate to the Duke of Wet.- , LINGTOS the resolution of the Cabinet on some im. portant point, arising, it is conjectured, from the information that has reached them since the depar. ture of Lord CASTLEREAGU. Whether that infor , dation relates to the state of military affairs on the Continent, or not, we cannot say ; but it is very singular indeed if Ministers have had no olEcisi I communication to them relative to the move. i meats of the British and Russian armies later than the 231 h, and yet we are told no advices i subsequent to that date have reached them. It was . one of the energetic instructions which the present Minister of the Interior gave to the French people, i should their enemies penetrate into their country, to i do every thing which could be done to cut off their 1 communications with the coast, with their supplies, and with each other. We know how much the pea. sentry and the farming part, as well as the military, i poputition of France are disposed to facilitate the i execution of such orders, for they aro issued by CARNoT. Is this any cause of oar not having intel. t • ligence, if not flans Paris, from our own armies.—. Conjecture is lost, as surprize and anxiety are in. crea sed. A Hamburg]) Mail arrived this forenoon, but it brings nothing to lessen these perplexities. An ar ticle from the Sarr, tends to confirm the account of there having been fighting between the troops under the command of Prince WILEDE awl the French. It is a Proclamation by that Prtnaa. dated head.quar. tens, limbo rgh, the 211 ultvarldres,sed to bl . soldiers, who had marched from the Rhine in hopes of con tributing to the operations of the Allied troops in the Netherlands, but finding themselves anticipated by the victory of the 18th, had returned to aid the Allied Armieq on the Upper Rhine. lie bids them prepare fur battle, and iays, " te-morrow we attack the enemy." A still more interesting Proclamation is furnished by the same channel. It is another in the name of Louts XVIII., who, if he allows his Allies to tight his battles with the sword, certainly carries on the war by the means of Proclamation with equal vigour. This new effusion is addressed to the inhabitants of the eastern department, and is issued by Count RocncrAucAuLD, Ifs MAJESTY'S Commissioner.— It is chiefly remarkable from its having attach ed to it the terms upon which pardon is to be vouchsafed to the servants and adherents of the " rebel" Government. We deem it necessary I only to insert the Appendix containing these._ Among those whom it places in an awkwerd situe. lion, and they are many IA ho are so plaerd, the poor Mx-gatherers are not in the best predicament.

I —The war against NAeorrom is said to have been declared national by the (lute) Chamber of Deputies ; but LANJUDIAIi, the President of the present House of Representatives, who drew oplthat Declaration, has since declared the war to be na tional cgaittst the BouneoNs ! (whatever may have been his conduct for the last twenty-five years), will there be received as one of the most faithful, and as a friend to his country and his King. There also the voluntary gifts will be re ceived. IL Every Frenchman who is at present a magis trate; a receiver of taxes, or a soldier, will be re m..ved from his office, and declared incapable of serving the State, if he does not immediately come to the Royal head-quarters to signify his submission. 111. The receiver of taxes will be farther obliged to pay a second time into the public treasury the money they have paid to the agent of Bonaparte, unless they immediately collect all the money the) can call in, and deliver it at head-quarters, without forgetting their registers. These receivers on the other hand who shall conceal money or registers, on the entrance of the Royal army, shall be condemned as accomplices of the rebellion. IV. AU millitery persons now bearing arms are disbanded, and lose their rank, their pensions, and their badges of honour, If they do not immediately repair to the heed. carters. Those who appear there will retain their rank, their pensions, and their badges of honour ; will receive their arrears of pay, and be recommended to the Minister at War to be promoted to a higher rank. The sol diers shall receive their discharge if they desire it ; but those who wish to remain soldiers will enlist themselves in the King's service, and fix themselves the time they choose to serve. V. The free corps and the armed peasants will not be treated as soldiers. All that are found with arms in their hands will be condemned as rebels . ; but those who voluntarily give up their arms at the head-quarters will obtain their pardon, and be re ceived into the service, or obtain permission to re turn to their houses. VI. All gensclarmes on foot or on horseback are to join the royal army as soon as it has entered the district of their brigade. Those who leave their posts will be dissolved, and for ever excluded from the service, and deprived of their pensions and badges of honour. VII. The Civil Officers shall immediately resume ' the places which they filled in March last. They shall hoist the white flag on the public edifices, send Deputies to the Royal headquarters, and every where post up and make known the present reso lutions.
