NA POLeon Continues tranquil in the Capital, whkb also appears in no !meet agittted, bet by the devotion which it is wincing towards Ma and his Go. vernment ; and assuredly the lostances which are given of this devotion on the part of the French pea. ple to the person and throne of the-proscribed Est rtßoa, speak solumes of convincing argnmentto the unprejedicid mind as to the accuracy of the state• ments prepsgsted by the enemies of truth and free. dons in this country. On Sunday the Eureston re. eelvert Deputations from the Electoral College of the Departlnent of the Seine and Oise, to whom fie cuss -lased the serious nature of the crisis in which France wassgein placed, and declared that though the Go vernment Wished for peace it was prepared for war, and had the beat presages of a successful result to the war, if it should take place. On Monday a Depu tation, of a far more immix: character, paid homage to the FAIPEROR at the Thuilteries, in the parsons of fifteen thousand of the inhabitants of the Fauithotirgs St. Ma►ceau and St. Antoine,- the two most populous districts of Paris, departments of the city which we are prepared to hear our Treisury cotemporaries call the most disorderly, but into which NAPOLZON was not afraid to ride on horseback almost unattended. In proof of their attachment to their Emperor and their country, the inhabitants of these places, having formed themselves into a Federative Assembly, entered the city in procession, making it resound with patriotic shouts, and defiled before the Emperor in the Court of the Thuilleries, crying out for arms, and to be led against the enemies of the national inde pendence. To these enthusiastic and patriotic citi mins the Emperor was not ashamed to addres him self; and his words on this occasion are important.— The probability of his leaving Paris for the frontier is distinctly alluded to. He says, " lam tranquil as to the capital—leaving you with the National Cards to defend it, I will go with confidence. to WNW the strangers on our frontiers." Ile thus re peats his resolution to await the blow, not to be the Arst to strike it. The Island of Corsica has also retorned to its allegiance to NArotton with the utmost demonstra. tio•ts of affection. A long account is given of the re-estahlishntent of the Imperial authority in that ion mi. The information en other topics is these Papers is also of importance, particularly what relates to Italy, the accounts from which are extremely con traditory. 11 , it we shall begin with the most curious part of th • , witents of the French Papers. This also is not rri hoot its importance, for it relates to matters of high political interest. The Moniteur enters at length into the subject of the letters read by Lord CAS. TLEREAGH in the house of Commons in justification of out going to war with MURAT, and which his Lordship and his toad-eaters thought such solid and authentic grounds for violating engagements, anti plunging this country into hostility with the King of NATLFS and his friends, throned or enthroned.— The French Papers had before declared these letters to be vile forgeries ; and the Moniteur of the 14th affords such evidence in proof of this as we suspect my Lord CASTLEREAGH, and his supporters, will find it dill tult to controvert. The exposition of the secret of these much built. upon Letters is given in Notes on Lord CASTLEREAGH'S Speech regarding the conduct of King Joxcutu, and commences u fol lows : A i~ I. " A II the pieces cited by Lord Castlereagh are false; these fabrication are so odious, we may even say, so impudent, that we cannot conceive that any nisi. ster can have had recourse to such mesas toluitify himself; we most, therefore, believe, that be has been the dupe of an intrigue. But what a Minister must he be, who can soffer himself to be Imposed on in such serious matters." The notes on the letters and papers then follow at considerable length. The original letters, from which Lora Castlereagh made extracts, are stated to be of course at Naples ; but it is promised that they shall be published at length, and that Lord Cestlanagh and his garbled documents will be covered with confu sion. The Notes finish thus:..-" We area authorised to declare, that any Englishman ofdistioction wise may happen to he at Paris, may immediately inspect the following Papers : •' tat.

I send you copies of them. " These copies are evidently those of the letters we have spoken of, of which two have forged dates, and the third is without a date. " They may also see an original letter of a per. sonage which Lord Castlereagh cannot deny; the letter is from Lord Wellington to Blecas, of the 4th of January, 1815. It appears that the Government of Louis had communicated to Lord Wellington the correspondence of Napoleon with Murat, but as no forgeries had then taken place, Lord Wellington re turned them with these words : see no proof whatever here against Murat. 66 There is no contradicting such authority as this. The fact is, that the Government of the Count de Lille never ceased to insist at the Congress atVienna, on the Restoration of the Sicilian Branch of the Bourbons on the Throne of Naples ; but finding that' these Powers having contracted Alliances with Murat, could not but hesitate—recourse was had to forged I docoments to overcome these scruples, and thus was composed this able correspondence which Lord I Castlereagh has sebraitted to the British Parliament l as the basis of decision from which shall Mutt peace or war. _ " The Royal Forgers never supposed that their flight would be so precipitate as to , be obliged to leave behind them the most secret papers of their Masters, by which not only has the base intrigue come to light, but also an infinite number of others equally atrocious, which took place in so short a reign." The following is given as Lord Wellington's Let ter, above alluded to : " M. LE COMTE,.—.-I send you back the Papers. I see nothing in them against Murat. They only show that he had taken a part which he regretted more and more every day; that he spoke highly of his intentions not to harm Napoleon, &c. &c.; but these letters in general, and those of Clarke in par. ticular, prove that he was in actual war with France.

After Mass the Emperor mounted on horseback, and passed along the line. He was then addressed by the Orator of the Confederation, in a most energetic speech, which was often interrupted by shouts of applause. The Monileur gives no farther account, but pro mises the remainder in the number of the 16th. A Decree is inserted of the 11th May, in which Napoleon, in consideration of the Press being de clared free, declares that the 33 Inspectors of the Booksellers are no longer necessary. They are therefore suppressed, and a Commissary for the in spection of foreign books is appointed at each of the The vanguard of the 2d corps entered Arezzo on the 22d, it set out the 23d for Perugia, where Gen.
