Its materiel is' completing. The Commission of Government turns to account for the defence of the national independence, the patriotism and devotedness of the citizens. While it will sup port their energy, it will repress the agitations of disaffection in the interior. It will neither ezagge rate trot conceal dangers, and whatever may- bet heir nature, it will always remain faithful to the country. (Signed) " The Duke a OTR AN TO, Pre.ident."

Napoleon is gone to lime, n here he is to em bark for England, accompanied by Prince Jerome, Prince. Joseph, a first Equerry, a first Chamberlain, and two valets de chambre, &c. General Dronot wished to follow the late Emperor. There is a report of the departure of two Marshals on a mititary mission, the first result of which, it is supposed, will be the suspension of hostilities. Pans, JUNE 26.—The Journal de Paris says,— " Had not the coalesced Kings made solemn pro. •misee l we might have had reason to fear for our in dependence; but they declared that they made war only on Napoleon. Napoleon would try the fate of arms. Napoleon was the first to abandon the French warriors who sacrificed themselves for his cause.— Napoleon was the first who brought within our walls the news of his own defeat. He can no longer oc cupy the throne; his political life is terminated.— The war can no longer have any motive.

Thus will vanish all the dreams of ambition, and thus will be dissipated all the insane desires of vengeance, and of a return to ancient forms, unknown to the present generation, which 'vanity and ignorance had alone re called.
