CONTRADICTION.—*" The Commissioners who went to Paris to settle the British claims have re turned to England, against the apparent wishes of the French Government. No direct overtures were made for their remaining at Paris ; but it ' was intimated to them, that they were perfectly at liberty to do so if they thought proper.

Colonel CAMPBELL wrote a letter to the Gover nor of Leghorn, informing him of the departure of NAPOLEON from Elba. The following is a copy of it :-- I" From the Partridge frigate, ro. :28., 1815, Two o'clock, P. M. " I have the honour of informing you, that BETONAPAIITE has left the Island of Elba on Sunday evening, with all the troops and cavalry that were attached to hini. He has left Monsieur LAPI, who was Mayor, and one of lii chamh er i„i ns, 1 .. as Governor of the Island, with the rank of General of 'Bri- I gade, at Porto Ferrajo. I asked him if it were his inten ' tion to defend himself against the Allied Powers; and be replied, " that if he had the means, he would not give.up the place but to NAPOLEON, or to' his orders." He has left some Corsicans, and the National Guard without arms: his mo ther and his sister PAtmixA have remained at Porto Ferrajo. , IittoNaPARTE has taken souse pieces of cannon, some horses, - . And provisions f or a leiv days. He has with him the Incon stant, the Stella, and thy Carolina bombs, and four feluccas; in which vessels h e h as embarked his troops. From Porto Ferrajo they host sight of his little s,;aadrott yesterday after. noon, to the North of Capraia, in consequence, I thiiik, that his intention is to go to Antibes, or its viciuiti, upon the coast of France or Piedmont," hypocrite ! 1 It is found expedient, notwithstanding the pa cific dispositions of all the Allied Powers, to form an army in Alsace, which Nay, it is said, will command. What with Corps of Observation on all sides, a Civil War to attend to in the centre, and other matters of no small moment to occupy his mind, it %eems to us that the Usurper will be little' able to overawe Belgium, or protect himself from invasion on that frontier. Several adherents of the BOURBONS have been arrested by the Man who has forgotten all ; wherever these steps are taken, or towns are mentioned as being ever so little disturbed, our Readers may rely upon it, the insnrrection in sup port of the Good Cause is predominant. Great pains is taken by the French Press to ex cite a belief that MARIA LOUISA and her Son will he permitted to return to France. This is one among the many deceptions with which BUONA PARTE is endeavouring to prop his power. MURAT's Army, we have reason to believe, does not amount in all to more than 65,000 men. Among our extracts from the French Papers will be found a very curious Letter from Rome. The Message to both Houses of Parliament, from the PRINCE REGENT, respecting the present momentous state of European affitirs, which was intended to have been sent down this day, it will be seen by our Parliamentary Report, has been postponed, till to-morrow.

Nile discover, by die notification of its termination, that the City of Orleans which has been sending such fulsome addresses to the Usurper, has been all this while under mili4ary law; and we have no doubt that numerous other places are in the same predicament. This is the liberty which the Traitor gives the Nation ! In another part we are told, that the Murderer of D'ENGIIIEN has bestowed the Eagle of the Legion of Honour on a_ national Guardsman of Lyons, who offered his services to escort Motsz- STEM: from that City, in doing which BUONAPARTE is represented as having pronounced the following biting satire upon those who have perjured them selves, and betrayed their King and Country.

PLYMOUTH, APRIL 3.—Arrived the brig Albion, HoLurx, from Bourdeaux, with passengers, which port she left this day week, when nearly the whole of the British vessels had got down - to the mouth of the river in safety. The passengers by the Albion report, that all the British. shipping were detained by our men of war at the mouth of the Gironde, in order to take on board the Eng lish, who were arriving at Bourdeaux. It is also said the English frigate Cyrus is detained at Brest, by order of the French Government. Lord Vis count HAWARDEN and family came passengers in the Albion. Arrived off this port, this morning, the French ship Deux Ands, ROUPE, Master, Martinique, with sugar, coffee, &c. and was standing into the Sound, when a Pilot from hence boarded him, and informed the Master of the change of affairs, when he immediately altered his course, and steered for a French pore. FALMOUTH, APRIL 2.—ArriVed the L'Esper ance, LENENDRE, from Bourdeaux, and several vessels from the Eastward, to join the West India convoy under his Majesty's ship Warrior, whiCh still remains at this port.

The general Peace promises to our country those fruits of industry which were wont, in times of peace, to introduces great' prosperity amongst its. The establishment of a good Government, grounded on the old national laws and usages, and the result of the experienc e of many ages, proMised us internal tranquillity, and a capa city for all necesiai t Y - undertakings. The wise administration of your Majesty,, which has united all parties and persua sions, has inspired us with the hope that in regard to inter nal measures, no parties will in future subsist, and no dif lerence of sentiment be remarked. - Should, however, the recent events in a neighbouring kingdom, of which your Majesty has made mention, bring the torch of war again upon our confines, then the undivided strength of this new state, will, in the hands of your Majes ty, serve to maintain our independence unimpaired. What pledges have we not in the past of what your Ma ; jesty's Government 'will in future accomplish The old Dutch virtues of discretion, order, and frugality, in the highest degree possessed by your Majesty, will be cherished by your example. Your Majesty not only gathers the fruits of the heroism and policy of your great forefathers, but marches forward with firm step iu the renowned path opened by them. 'We sit here sarrounded by their venerable por traits, and they seear to look with complacency on their for tunate descendant, who, supported by more powerful means, in like manner as they laboured and fought for the freedom of this State and of Europe, will display the same inestimable endowments, and place a crown on the heatl of the House of ' Orange, still more brilliant than the kingly. Your Majesty - manifestly enjoys the same blessing of Heaven as "they, ore your undertakings; and your short administration has been already signalised by a series of wonders, of which examples can hardly be found in the history of our country. A volun tary insurrection, assistance poured in from all sides, the Sovereignty estalisV4 in the House of Orange, the Consti tution drawn up 'aria adopted, oar bitter enemy changed into a friend, all the fortresses and posts evacuated by him, peace signed, and lastly, all these benefits confirmed by the gnae rantee of all Europe. Who does nut perceive in all this the evident hand of the Almighty ? Go on then, Sire, under the Divine blessing; proceed ia your illustrious and virtuous career, surrounded by a tender consort, excelling in- heroism and the tender virtues, by a sa gacious and high-minded mother, a loving sister and daughter, by brave sons, your and our hope,—proceed, applatuled by all nations, vigorously supported by your people, whose hearts all unite in one feeling, which their mouths with one accord pronounce of Lice the King; The following is the Address of the States-Ge• nerd of tilt-United Netherlands, in reply to the Speed delivered by his Majesty.on the 17th net. Sire,—We thank your Majesty for the communication . of what has been ttansacted at the Congress. We have learned with peculiar satisfaction, that the state of our native coon try is built upon firmer foundations than ever, and that our beloved Sovereign Prince has been invited by the wish of all Europe to assume the Royal dignity. We heartily congratulate your Majesty on this new lustre for your pers&n and for the House of Orange; and wo con ceive that thelffstre of this People, among whom your Ma jesty was born, cannot fail to receive an additien from the greater respectability of its Chief. ' The people of the Netherlands, in the formation of their constitution, made. no mention of the title of the Sovereign Prince, well knowing that any resolution on that subject,more deptaided on the agreement of the Powers, than on their deci sion; but it was eves then the wish and expectation of all true Netherlanders, that when they, for the general welfare, had invested your Majesty with the supreme rank, you should also take your place among the crowned herds of Europe. The of all the Netherlands is one of those remarkable events with which this new era has commenced. It.has not taken place merely on our account, but is it consequence of theconviction Of all the powers, that the balance of Europe reqefred the strengthening of our country. Through the maintenance of that balance, in the mean time, this union is most salutary fa, us. W subsist simply in consequence of that political baLoce; our foreiathers helped to maintain it by their blood and treasure; and when at last it was broken, we tasted the bitter fruits of that oppression, from which.they knew how to protect themselves. One of the most efficient means in their hands, both to protect our inde pendence and that political balance, was those very Nether lands with which we are now united. 'William I. wi-bed to lay the foundations of the independence of all, and Wi;nessed the separation of S. as of them with grief. Prince Maurice hoped still to gain over those separated, anal declared to their DepUties that religion should be no hindrance. After the/ seemed to be_irrecovetably lost, our greatest statesmen be;; to consider them as a sort of advanced bulwark which could only he it4t s nillie hands of our friends. To this the wars bear testimony, which for a century and a half were waged under William M., under John William Friso, and under your Majesty, himself, and your brother Prince Frederick, and which had no other object. This deficient bulwark is now, however, restored : all the Netherlands have again be come, as in the time of. Charles V. a monarchy under one Dutch King ; and all parts of this extensive State can now, more then ever, furnish aid to each other. Our independence is consequently better secured, than even William 111. could have flattered himself it would have been. Under the otection of this independence we are secured in the tranquil enjoyment of our freedom, oar property, and the fruits of our industry; and among all the advantages which we now possess, this of independence is the principal and most important,• as withourit the Others could nut subsist. Without this urea independence in the heart of the State, our valuable possessions in other parts of the world became the easy prey either of the power which subjugates us or of his enemy ; as we have seen in our days. Through the main tenallce of our independence in Europe, we remained for two centuries in possession of our commerce and colonies. We had, by the greatest exertions, more than once repelled the enemy from our frontiers, or driven him from our terri tories ; but never had we lost our share in the dominion of the seas: Our wise Fathers, led by the Princes of Orange, effected this by a selection of allies among the Powers of Eu rope, and their well-tried policy is at this moment regene rated. We participate in the free navigation of all seas ; our new brothers, after a long privation, will with us enjoy their share; and the genera/ prosperity, which may he thence fOreseen, will double our strength for our own defence. Very recently, we could not have thought that an opportunity was so near when the means of defence would be put to the proof.
