Aun. 11.—By an order of his Excellency the Mi nister of General Polite, the Gazette de France has been suspended, for having inserted yesterday an article in which it is proposed to make the persons who accepted the ti,hlitional Act of Bonaparte bear the printipal expence of the war. This article which, is °fa miter,. to alarm a g reat number of individuals, and to sow the seeds of dhisiun is equally contrary to the principles of the Constitutional Charter, and to the lumen principles of the King. (It does not appear that the Gazette de France has been suppressed ; but that Paper of the 12th coo- ' taints the fulloeing paragraph which may be consi dered as its apology t) " For some dais past there have been circulated small printed notes, in which it is insinuated that thieve would be policy, reason, and justice in mati n g particular classes of toe nation bear the greater part ' of the war contributions that we have to pay.

The public were informed some time ages that a sum of QCIO3I. had been placed at the disposal of her Royal Highness the Princess Cnatmotrs of Wu.ts, to defray her personal expences.

The French know, that before questions so remonstrative as these !can be expected to obtain much respect from 1 Powers so enshrouded among the laurels of victory ,41 !he," High Attiet,!" it is-necessary to have a to. lerable and a tractable army to exhibit in the back ground ; and therefore a development is ordered which we suspect will harmonize but little with the plans of the Allies. The Official Garette contains a Royal Ordinance for the -organization of a new army, " strong enough to ensure success in war, to - France her independence without, and tranquillity nithist."—This army is to consist, in the first in. stance, of 317 regiments, exclusive of engineers.— " To consist,7,„eys the _Ordinance, but " lo! • wonder springs*" - elevr,"--.lrt is &laird, at the same time, that " the-organisation of the army is corn pleted."—And in referring to the date of the Decree for raising this force, we ind . it so far back as the lath July I and not a word of disbanding the formerarmies In it.-.-The Decree lately published foe disbanding " the rebel" armies, was dated on the 23d of March, at Lille. The policy of thus peblishing these Decrees, i with such a sariance between their dates and thit - ai their publication, is very incomprehensible to #6rne , of our cotemporaries. To us it is perfectly plain.--- It is a trick truly French, and those who remember the Milan Decrees, arid contend that MI stratagems are lawful in war en, *ell as in love, *ill give the councils of TAYLlcirltAap and Foccux credit for the policy of the ruse . In thle.partieular. The " rebel armies" were considered as disbanded from the date of the Lille Decree to the time of their being received into royal favour by his Majesty's appointment of their Commander, Marshal Macnonato; and the date of the last for organising the military force of France anew, is doubtless, ante-dated, if it has not !beta published in the prqvinces before, which we I suspect it has, for the purpose of including the army lof the Loire and the other armies,. who are dis : posed to include themselves In the new organization 46 It is'urgent to organize a new army," says the Ordinance. The urgency is evident, and will ac i count for no new order of disbanding being Issued. DavousT has peacefully resigned Ms command to Marshal Matceozatn, who, in a Proclamation issued at Doorges, the head-quarters of the Army of the Loire, on the Id instant, has expressed his plea- I sure at being again among his old companions, and 1 tells them, that the calamities and burthens of the country can Only be alleviated by their means, by their correct observance of discipline, and frank sub mission to the King. He adds, that it is his interstion to " extend their cnntonments for the relief of the country," which may be construed as meaning to re lieve the country as much from the burthens imposed upon it by tier foreign troops, with whose presence every depertmeet was threatened, as from th e par tial oppression o f a native army, whose numbera, by- the-bye, are pretty well indicated by this measure of enlarging their range of subsistence. • Another reason, of an equally urgent nature, may' have prompted this measure—the freedom which the people ought to enjoy in the choice of their Repre. tentative', would be but little evinced, or at least liable to no small degree of suspicion, were the re turns to the new Chamber to be made in the midst of foreign troops. Yet amidst those arms which dis persed her Constitutional Representatives, the Le gislative bodies of France appear doomed again to assemble; and it is for them to say whether she is in dependent—whether LoursXVll I. is the Niece who I alone tan insure to Flan.* her integrity and her I rights, and whether soy Prince can be considered as - --g .
