He is lodged at the Hotel of the rsefecture, and his vicinity entrees us eneasiness. It is thought, however, that we shall get rid of him to-day ; the vessels are ready. Among other articles embarked, we have seen a great many chestsladen with gold and silver. The English cruisers blockade cos closely, and Bonaparte seems to think the moment unfavour able for bis escape, but the longer he stays it will probably be the swore difficult. Joseph Bonaparte is also here for embarkation. Bertrand and Becker are the only Generals who are mentioned as likely to depart sith the two brothers. • ItoUt4, JULY It. —The following General Or der has been addressed to the troops in garrison here : SoLotens,—the enemy Is in the centre of our hoe France ; all the armies of Europe bear with all their weight, with all their resentment, on our un happy fPllow•citisens ; why do we delay declaring ourselves ?

We this forenoon received the minor Paris Papers of Saturday last, the 15th inst. The Itloniteurs of Thursday and Friday have also arrived.— The Moniteur is again declared be no longer the official Paper. A new pub!ication, entitled Le Ga zette Officiet, in imitation of our Gazelle, was to be published on Friday for the first time. The actual state of France cannot be lesrnt from the Public Journals. The French Editors are evidently la. bouring under the controul of mb,olute authority or fear. A few meagre on Hilt, they say this, and they say that, and it is reported that such circumstances have taken place, are the very unsatisfactory methods in which the most important events are noticed; and, with the exception of a half-breatlied.4fidignant feeling at the ettortions of BLUCHER, which are olienly specified, scarcely an indication appears in print of the impetuous and warring passions which we know to be agitating France from one end to the other. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE if still fail to have em harked--amidst foul winds ■nd fogs, ominous as the tokens of destiny, which may account fur his not being very clrally seen, though said to he still no further from the French coast than the Isle of Ms. Ile is stated to have embarked on the 10th instant, at the village of Fin-as, between Roche% and- Rochefort, and to hove passed into the Isle of Aix, on account of the foul winds, where he is said to be detained by that cause atone, an obstacle which we suppose must have ceased to operate against him be fore now. But this *story has still an improbable look. Several of his most distinguished military ►dher.att are also said to he on the point of quitting Franc . .., one_ statement -says, in consequence of being ordered out of It. From DATUM?"s portrait being also ordered to be banished the liall of the Marshals, we apprehend ha is no greater favourite isith the King than NET. Banishment, we sop ptne, will now be the order of the day, uoiess togots and his friends continue to have the ascend. ikt this is not. compatible with the new system which Lout. has adopted. Myna/ is re ported to have met a very ignerniniou. end. A story goes that he has been hanged by some of his old subjects. This will greatly please certain Editors In this country—but unfortunately for the certainty of this fact, it is stated at the same time, on the au thority of a General Officer, that the Marshal is at Toulon. The King is shout to name a new Chamber of Peers, and in the Papers before us there is an Ordi nance of his Majesty dissolving the late Chamber of Representatives, and convoking the Deputies of the former Chamber, in which the King explicitly avows his resolution to profit by the lessons of experience. It hill be well for him if he dies. The Electoral Colleges are to he appealed to, after regulation, the eligibility to vote is to be enlarged, and the number of Deputies are to be increased. The* are ,the chief features of the new Constitution, which l is still bottomed on the old Charter. It is an odd coincidence that the Electors of the different de. partments are ordered to assemble on the 11th of August, BONAPARTE'S birthday A part of the heavy contribution levied by Rt.octien upon the citizens of Paris has bees paid. The.specificatiotts of the assessment given in our ex tracts will be found curious. Louis seems to have no power of preventing this. An awkward attempt is made in an Ordinance, ordering the names of bridges and public places to be changed to conceal the disgrace and humiliation of being obliged to adopt this method of conciliation. IVltom will it conciliate except, perhaps, the Prussians ? SUCIIET is said to have notified the submission of his army to the King. Nnthing further is stated re specting the submission of thoarmy of the Loire. It still maintains that position, but the Allies are said to have advanced to Orleans. Valenciennes still holds nut against the Prince of ORANGE, and is still bombarded ; but Lisle has acknowledged the ■otho. rity of the King, for fear, perhaps, of falling under the dominion of the Prince of the NETHERLANDS. PAlltt, JULY 14.z—The portrait of Marshal Da. voust has been withdrawn from the Hall of the Mar. shale. That of Murat still remains. It k understood that many great personages under the Government of Bonaparte, whom experience has not yet corrected, have been ordered to quit Franco. It has been reported that Murat hat been bagged by some of his old subjects, whilst k is grata by another General, that he i< at Toulon. It is false that the principal bankers In Paris live been arrested, Sentrier alone were ear,e4 ,1111 Asir bees's. There was noiet of the public unds yelteictsi. It is hoped k k he re-established to-day. , Napoleon Bonaparte is sai Ito have embarked skt half-past four o'clock, on the 10th pi Jolt, at Funks" a little village on the roast between Rochelle audio Rochefort, from wheuce he passed to the Isle o f Aix, where be embarked on board a frigate, which is still detaittail,,owing to fool winds. On the 13th, at night, the Allies are said to have entered Orleans. The French army has passed the Loire, nod is posted on the left bank of that river. Yesterday a considerable sum was paid of the con tribution of Paris, levied on the different citizens in the following manner : —The Notaries 216,000 francs; the Advocates 300,e00; il►e - Merchants 600,0(X); the Bankers .100,000; Es:clitange Broker; 500,000; To reimburse them for this first advance they will receive municipal hills, payable out of the general contributions on the inhabitants of Paris. The Count iltru is one of the number of those whose estates have been forfeited by order of Blucher. It is supposed that when the funds open to-morrow the 5 percents. which are to-day at 64 will be at 68. They continue to bombard Valenciennes, but the Commandant refuses to surrender to any body but the King. COURIER EXTRAORDINARY, Sa(urday Morning. The Emperor Alexander and the Duke of Welling ton went thi• morning to the King. It is understood that Marshal Suchet has notified to the King the submis , ion of his army. The Duke of Bs %satin and several of the distinguish ed adherents of Bonaparte are n the point of quit tine France. Sixty thousand Austrians, under the command of the Crown P,ince of Austria, have entered Troyes. . A great number of Cossacks arrive at Paris. Louts, by the Grace of God, Kiug of France and Nassrre. . To all those whom these presents concern, greet ing:— ‘Ve have announced that our intention was to pro pose to the Chambers a law fur the regulation of the Deputies of the D.partments. Out object was to .modify, conformably 'to lessons of experience and the well-known views of the nation, several articles of the Charter touching the state of eligibility, the, number of Deputies, and some other dispositions re lative to the formation of the Chambers, to the intro. duction of the laws, and to the manner of their de liberations. The misfortunes of the times having interrupted the Session of the two Chambers, we have thought that the number of the Deputies of the departments will now be found, from divers causes, too mach re duced to represent the t►ntinn sufficiently ; it is itn portant these all, under such citcun►stauces, that the' national representation should he numerous, that their powers should be renewed, and that they ema nate more directly from the Electoral Colleges; in short, that the eloctions should serve as the actual expression and opinion of our people. We have, therefore, determined to dissolve the Chamber of Deputies, and to convoke, without de; lay, a new one ; but the manner of election not hav ing been regulated by law, except by the modifica tions made to the Charter, we have thought it just to the nation that the people should enjoy at the present moment the advantage of selecting a l l more numerous and less restrained Representa tion than the present conditions of eligibility allow ;el but willing, nevertheless, that in any case, each mo. dification in the Charter shall not become definitive, but after the Constitutional forms ; the dispositions of the present Decree shall have for its first , object the deliberations of the Chambehs. The Legislative Power, when collected, will enact upon the law of• elections ; upon the changes necessary to be masie,hi , the Charter of the country ; changes which . maet only be taken in points the most urgent ana..0141 pensable ; imposing' on us obligations of reconcile big, as much as possible, the Charter to tits „roma' previously in use. To these causes, we have declared, and do : fin:llre ;. decree and decreed as follows : • 1. The Chamber of Diputieq iq dislolved. • • 2. The Electoral Colleges of the Arrondissements shall meet on the 14th of August of the present year. 3. The Electoral Colleges of the Departments. shall meet eight hours after the opening of the Col leges of Arrondissements. 4. The number of the Deputies is fixed according -to the table following this deckle. - 5. Each Electoral College of the Arroudissement shall elect a number of Candidates equal to the num ber of Deputies of the s department. 6. Our Prefects shall transmit to the Prebident'of the Electoral College of the-department lists of the Candidates proposed by the nectars! Colleges of the Arrondissements; which . lists ,shall 'gain be trans mitted by the Presidents of the Colleges. 7. The Electoral Colleges of the departments shall chase the least moiety of the Depiaties from amonsst these Candidates.- If the total ttuna - ber of the Depu: ties of the department is odd, it shell partake of the advantage of the portion which should be chosen from the Candidates. 8. The Electors of . Colleges of Arrondissements shall not take their seats till they have attained the, ago of 21. The Electors of the Colleges of Depart- Meats must be of the same age. g. If the number of the Membe'is of the Legion of Honour, who, tonformabls. to the Act of the 22d of February, 1806, shell be added to the Col- ii'2 fees of *Arrondissessents or Departments, is n i t complete, our Prefects shall be able, upon the maml of the Legionaries, to propose new atijunctions, which shall receive their provisionary execution. Nevertheless the legionaries admitted to the Elec. to al Colleges of the Departments, ought, conform. ably to the 40th Article of the Charter,. to pay at least 300 francs of direct contribution, All adjunctioos made after the ht of March, 1815, are null and illegal. /0. The Deputies able to be elected at the age of tweoty.one: , 11. Conformably to the anterior laws and regal,_ all elections not 'Wade by the greatest moiety of the College shall be null. The absolute majnri:y amongst the Members preserit is necessary for the validity of the election. 12. If the Electoral Colleges of Arrondistements have not completed the election of the number of candidates which they have to chose, the Crilloge of the Department must not proceed to their operations. 13. The proces.verbal of the election shall be ex. amined at the Chamber of the Deputies, who will pronounce upon the regularity of the elections. The Deputies elected shall be held to produce at the Chamber their register of birth, and a erica: of their contributions:, proving that they have paid at least 1000 francs of impost. 14. The articles 16, 25, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39. 41, 41, 42, 43, 41, 45, and 46, of the Charter %hall be submitted to the revision of the Legislative Power in the approaching Session of the Chambers. 15. The present Decree shall be printed, and filed in the place of the Sittings of each Electoral Col.; lege. The Articles of the Charter hereabove mentioned, shall be printed conjointly. 16. Our Minister of the Interior is charged with the executiott of the present Decree. Civen at the Castle of the Thuilleries, the 13th of July, in the year 1815, and the 21st year of our reign. (Signed) LOUIS. The project of a European Confederacy (a fa , vourite subject with political writers) seems to be now, at least in some measure, carried into exec°. (ion. It also seems, in general, to be regarded as a salutary measure; the supporters of Ministers, of course, represent it as such, and are lewd in ex tolling the magnanimity of the Imperial and Royal Confederates. The chief, if not the only, argument which is °tiered by the advocates for the Confederacy of Ike European Powers is, that it wig here the effect of pee. - rtilithrillidispulerwhich may happen to arise bet seers different States from being decided by brute force snit! by the carriage of the human Species. It is urged that' the mediation of a Europeanacongress will always be listened to• with respect, and Writ ne viegle Power would be rash enough to disregard its decisions. • We P feadily admit that in this respect the measure would he friendly - to the cause of humanity.; but :sst the same time it ought not to be dissembled; that it may. eventually be productive of consequences of the most gloomy character. IVlrat surety have ws;. that the Grand Alliance will content Itself with adjusting the differences which may arise between- State and State: that it will not interfere io the intetital tarifa of nations, otherwise than by the offer of itvmedia. don,: that it will not encroach upon the dearest *ad most sacred rights of human nature ? To recur to the past would only be to render us more apprehensive for the future, The European Coalition has already practically asserted its pretensions to interfere, in a ,fprcibte manner, In the domestic concerns ornations. -Rut it w ill'irrobvidy. he said, that the attacks made 'pea Othe beginning of the Wrote- Von, and in -1815,. were justified by considers arikteg out or the peculiatclia;acter of the cir liirstances. Thts reasoning will be convenient upon Wiest occasions'; for the changes which taise-place iw hie policy of nations, especially if impor t, ere swill distinguished by circumstances of a metier character. • • ought to be recollectei, .that in the present fstate'of Europe confederacy of int nations would be a confederacy' di Monarchs; and also that the Ins , jority of those Monarchs are absolute in their re-. spective State's, -and have beets educated in principles of the most arbitrary tendency. If a Triboual . thos constituted undertakes to interfere between the go. vernor and the governed, it can scarcely be es. peeled scrupulously to consult the w ishes, the in. lerestr, or the rights of the latter. In tbie ease, what appeal would be left to an oppressed peo ple? To resist its colossal antagonist by force I.f arms, would scarcely offer Ilse prospect of avossibi. lity of ultimate success. A nation, to. determiun upon so dreadful an alternative, must. .be urged by the maduess of despair; and to he successful, must be supported by the energies which despair itself is sometimes observed to impart. Let us then hesitate before we panegyrise a measure, whose ostensible - abject, indeed, is the tranquillity of Europe, bo . , which may eientlially prove a combinatiOn against the rights and liberties of mankind; and become as pow erful an itistrumeut of monarchical tyriinny,.as the .tribunal a the Inquisition, of ?opal dospoedm. It is possible that oven a state of peace may be pur- chased too ilrerly.
