I There was some conversation last night in both Houses of Parliament on the subject of the line of I policy to be pursued by this country On this n6w turn of affairs. Mr. WHITBREAD, in the House of Commons, and Earl Gave, in the Lords, express-1 ed their confident hope that this nation would not interfere in the internal concerns of France. Lord' CASTLEREAGII, who has recovered from hi s politi I fever, said that it never had been the policy, nor. practice s of. this .country to didat4 to Franc f ,i, what might be the line of conduct deterininectalif by his Royal highness, in concert with his Allies, ill the present extraordinary posture of things in that 1 country, the House would not expect him to state. 1 We certainly cannot expect a man to state what he does not know, and we think the silence of Minis. ters is now pretty well accounted for. Will nobody be kind enough to move " that it is now utipecessiry for Lord CASTLEREAGH to enter on his "long story" of adjustments and final arrangements," or that it be pot off " till this time six months, or sine die -"-. Mr. WurvattEAD hue given him till Monday, bat what can the Noble Lord say then ? Time will show. It is an advantage to be able to make one's story square with circumstances. i THE STAi'ESMAN. LONDON: FRIDAY, MARV& 17, 1815. ilre press on to thi latest 'intelligence from that fruitful theatre of *enders, France ; but to discri initiate betireen facts and rumours, is as yet almost i mpoos ible. We have already stated from the French p a pers and letters received, the particulars of the progeSS of the revolution and the extraordinary man mho is v its head, as far as they were known in rarit up to Monday last. By the arrival in the course' of yesterday afternoon, and this day, o f persons, some of them of distinction and with Dispatches, from. the French capital, which they left on Tnesday, we are enabled to continue the ietsils of passing events to that date. At that time, according to the information said to have been brought 11 Government Messengers, it was stated so d believed that BONApARTE was advancing rapidly to the Metropolis, and was expected to enter that city on the next day, Wednesday.— Another report says be arrived at Paris on 'Tues day night, anti was received. with general , RcEin. mations. The Army had universally declared for Ent, and no resistance was shown any where to his progress. We anticipated the Evening Papers of yesterday, in announcing the important fact, that the French loyal Family had actually retired intoßeigium for safely, and we can now confirm this fact still fur ther. We have seen a servant of the Duke of WEL tINGTON) who arrived in town this morning, and he states, that the Royal Family of France arrived at Brussels on Tuesday night ; Lord FiTznor So mum accompanied them. We understand that a vessel sailed from Deal yesterday for to bring the Prose ftey'l Fortitirthe fhieseteantry. —Had there been a shadow of hive that the pre sence of his Majesty could have Noe metal in pre :ming his cause, or that the Bourbon dynasty could survive in France, we are warranted, by the previous accmnts, in !relieving that he would not have left his capital anti his kingdom ; but it is sufficiently evideet that the [louse of Bourbon, though it will not admit it, at the end of twenty years exile, has ceased to reign, and t h at even this best of his line does not possess the hearts of the people of France. BONAPARTE had arrived on Saturday night at Orleans, and was advancing rapidly to Paris, which, at the rate he travel:A, he might well be expected to roach by Tuesday night or Wednesday. General Lcrtnec commanded his advanced guard of about 4000 cavalry, and it was understood that SOUI.T and Nlassmi were with him. Were it allowable to mingle small things id& great, we would notice here, that the case of Mr. Loved. was again agitated in the House of Con, mous last night- 7. -see the Report. •.4 We understand that the Duchess of WErAtztOTox has been consulted by the Cabinet Ministers, relative to the state of Paris when her Grace left it. An in• sterview between her Grace and the Ministers took place last night on this subject. A Paper of this morning says, " An express reached town between two and three o'clock this claming, brought by a bye.boat from Arabletensei on the French coast -ergasite to Dover, cummuaica4, ing the entrance of 139744ek11TZ into Paris oti the evening of Tuesday last, between five and six o'clock. No battle had taken place, nor was any opposition of moment made to him during the whole of his march from Lyons. An attempt had been made the preceding day to draw out of Paris the whole Of the National Guards and the regular troops, but the latter had refused to take the field against their old comrades. BoNAPARTE's army amounted to upwards of 60,000 men. lie had found an abundant supply of arms and ammunition at Grenoble and Lyons. lie stopped for several hours on Sunday at Montargis, between 60 and 70 miles from Paris, where he reviewed his troops. The KING is said to have left Paris on Tuesday morning, taking the route to Belgium, accompanied by Mon sieur's regiment of cavalry, the gardes du corps, and the mousquetaires, with a strong body of Swiss infantry." He entered Lyons on the 11th, where he was re. aired with open arms. Alosst UM, the Dec D'Ott tEANS, and GOI:VION Sr. CYR, made their escape isith diineolty, and the army they brought to'oppose h;m joined his standard. llc sent a detachment to nttack Grenoble, where Getwtal MAncuaND was n!)pointed to guard an immense• depot of arms and military stores. Mincit.irtu appears to have been to his trust, and the consequence was he f-ll a sacrifice to his own troops. Grenoble opened i gates, and 150 pieces of cannon, with from 80 to 100,000 stands of arms, fell into BONAPARTE'S p ,wer. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM RYE, DATED YESTERDAY, MARCH 16. " A smuggling boat arrived in our neighbourhood last night, from Boulogne, which port she quitted yesterday. The town was , completely filled with English from Paris, and other parts, most anxiously wailing a pas Age to this country. " The military stationed at Boulogne, are deci dedly in favour of their former Emperor, and the merchants were apprehensive of an embargo being laid." This great magazine seems to have been' placed there purposely to assist his inroad. Scum., the Minister at War, had concerted the measure with hi partizans, and thus every thing was prepared for his receptio n . It is another of the extraordinary cir cumstances attending the removal of SOULT, that General CLARKE (Duke of Feltre),who was formerly War Minister to BONAPARTE, should be selected to fill his place. UONAPARTE'S Proclamation must positively be in the hands of our Government, for it was certainly received by the French Ministry, and Lord FITZ. L Y SOMERSET must have seen it—most likely had a copy of it. It is understood that it is couched a good deal in the old Revolutionary style, promising Liberty and Equality to all Frenchmen. Ile promises also to have the Rhine as the natural boundary of France, and to give freedom to Bel giqm. It is universally believed to be as Republican a procbmation as ever appeared in the days of Ro- DRSPIL:RRI:. As to the renewal of war between this country and France, every thing we think must turn upon th Treaties we have concluded with our Allies, and what BONAPARTE may consider the natural limits of r:.nce.
