The firmness of Gen. d'Aboville nd Major Pion, commanding the 2d regt. of artilh kry, has defeated this criminal attempt.. The offi cers, sub-officers, and soldiers, have all done their duty.

A fatality, or in other words; an inconceivable stupidity —may we not say aAonce, the basest treachery ?—has hung upon the royal cause front the first moment of this invasion.

VIENNA, MARCII 1 - .—On the 22d of February there was a grand conference, principally upon the affairs of Italy. The Kings of France, Spain, and Sicily, have constantly shown a decided oppo sition to the exeention of the . article in the Trea ty of April 11 , ,1814,. IV!:ich gave Parma and Pia . cenza' to Maria Limisa and her son. _France par tienlarly insisted that the.so n of Napoleon should not he one day Sovereign of any country, becaus e this might be attended with dangerous conse quences for Europe. England, and most "of the Powers of the Congress ate said to have -support ed the same opinion. '"His Majesty the Emperor Francis, with the same greatness of mind with which he declared last year, that his daughter sl!ould be no impediment to the return of the Bourbons, d&lared at this time, " that lie would not oppose what the repose and the interest of Europe demanded, and that he left it to the Powers to satisfy the pretensions of his daughter."

Occupied as we were yesterday in preparin g for the Publi c a n amp l e compendium of the volumin °us intelligence which arrived from France in the course of the forenoon, we had neither time nor space for elucidatory obserVations. .• We could only produce a full translation of every important feature in these afflicting Papers, and-enable the Country to form its own opinion upon their dis astrous nature. Since no other Journals have reached us,' we have now a,moment to turn to the past, and take GEIVOrt, 11 - Ancrt 8 . - ----Ilumiaparte lots been tong p!anniog his escape: he cajoled the _.;olyitroilfiers of the English foece stettioned before Porto Per raj() ; -be seized every opportunity to spew his liking to maritime Office . rs ; he made use of this pretext to go frequently on board of the English ships' of war ; be also made 'excursions to the small neighbouring islands, as Pianosa, &c. ; lastly, he-sent his French brig, and another which he i)ad bought, to Genoa and Leghorn, to buy ammunition and other things for the equipment of troops: All - this hail so accustomed the English cruizers to Meet his flag, that they paid no atten tion to his little squadron, which sailed by night . He has left at Porto Ferrajo the wife of General Pertrand, the sister of . General Drouet, and in general all the French upon whom be could not depend for a desperate attempt. He made some of them believe that he was merely going to ar hitello, to have a conference with King Joachim Murat, who does not appear to have quitted Na ples, or. to have any connection with Napoleon . He has had some detachments of French thrown upon the coast of Genoa ; but our icing has or dered that these men, officers as well as . soldi ers , shmild be obliged to follow the road of Turin and Novi, Without entering Genoa.: The N.ing being informed of litionaparte's escape, his sent orders I f in all directions, among the rest to Nice, where there is an Italian regiment in the pay of Eng land. blacker aml more upthrions breach of trust ?lever sources of public intelligence have been thos poisoned, when we observe' timt even the Jour nals which we sup.:l6'sed ,!....voted to the Boy NEON Cause have bceu, Ta T artitice and • colivert- cii into instrumews them, it does ex- cite hope in our hreasts „ that so!ne portion of the aceOunts whiA appear so fit voura to the Usurper ma v, be exag;z,Tr::ted. We arc induced at least to wie? , tion the.entire ascendancyt he is represented to have ac4iircd, .and to search, for a liope rernaining at the button' of the, Pandora's Box which has just peen opened.L Still, however, our apprehensions overcrime 'our most sanguine antici pa (ions .Tbe soldiery of France, those lawless banditti who ivere only great t hroUgh the policy of this beader, who were fa vnnred, pro muted, enriched.hy him, at the expence their own Country and of Europe--the major part of. this military botly.)are unquestionably on the side of the Tyrant. On the other hand, the .mass of the population of France is as unquestionably for the llovaeoNs. The Army will, iu the first- in stance,lriumpli mild overpower the People; but the despotisth founded on such a basis, must be from the beginning insecure, and difficult to be preserved by the Machavelian politics of a Rider, whose moderation or eruel!y will equally leave or make loin foes: •Uuder these circUrnstances, much, all will de pend upon the course adopted by the Al,liedSove reigns. The King of ROME is a pledge in the hands of Austria, which, we trust, will he looked to. TALLEYRAoiD, whose absence from Paris left the conspirators at liberty to carry on their plans without interruption, in,. the face of these Hock heads, ,BLAGAS, -D'AMERAY ) and illots,TEsaurou, may, if he be " among the faithless faithful," in some measure repair th,ese disasters, by prevailing on the United Sovereigns to make a vigorous, prompt, and glorious effort to rescue France, before the Op 7 , pressor has founA time to hind on her chains and consolidate his authority., A mighty army of corn- - and Ger mans upon the I b i l i n li e n (l e r , )l % . v tis it s l i l a i n Z s t:c ' s ' h ' i lst t r 4 a . 7 e s l:i n g tip hel:powerfi end Britai n f ro M reserves from Pohind; as well as with her Navy, may easily save the Coun try, while parties are so much divided opposed to each other, which .would be a..chaieult task if the CorSiCan is permitted first to` overthrow his; internal adversaries, and then recommence his military career, by directing the force of France against the' separated Nations of Europe. • The homely adage of " a long pull, a strongpull, and a pull altogether," ought to be impressed upon the Mind of every Sovereign of Europe': —by at tending to it, the gross errors,which they have all committed with respect to BUONAPARTE and Franc may be remedied,' and the peace and happiness of, mankind secured. After these general remarks, we have little to observe upon the particular details in the French News.• We cannot ascertain who among the Mar shals are really trust-worthy —,who are in private correspondence with the Rebels: Should half the number be staunch who are reported to be so— should a moiety of the troops which have re newed their oaths of fidelity be true;--should the fortified places, all of which are in the hands of tho se . who hold them in the KING's name, be occupied by men firm to their trust, the condi tion of the Invader will not be so iinpregnable as his progreSs Ints been rapid. This will espc cially appear wh en i t is acknowledged, and we assert it without fear of denial, that the popu lation of the Country are ten to one in favour of the restored Monarchy. Reflecting on these things we live in hope of shortly being able to lay before our Readers some information less distreSNing than drat of yesterday.
