THE SUN. 301,RM "QUIS nu:tug FALNUNt (MEAT ? LONDON, SATURDAY, If, , RCI! ii, 1815. To meet the general anxiety as early as possible yesterdly, cec issued a portion of our Publication with the OfEeinl Bulletin of Government, and tvery knoltn particular or the extraordinary intel ligence received, while ive were preparing the French Official Dochments for the Press. 'these c•refore reprint to day, for the benefit of such Of our Readers as obtained only our first Impres sion, the demand for ‘-.hich was unprecedented, even in the crisis of the late war. I,Ve now turn to the surprising news of the Encp,Fion of France by the Emperor of Elba !—for thoug'h the Country will cOneede'to n 3 that we have ever vehemently foretold that the mischiefs to be dreaded from the plots of this turbulent and anibitious individual were ob- Vinus and palpnble, vet we do confess that we art; surprized they s'ionld have 50 SOMI become manifest. The Soverciens of Europe have much to ancwcr for in their treatment of.-this Man—so inuch; thit were they alone to sillier from his ma chinmionv, even till their crowns trembled on their heads, there wool! be few to say, that their punishment was not richly tricritcJ. Hirt untortu., natelv their, people must endure in common with their rulers ; the world must weep the improvidence of the Mighty in tears of blood. Had common tcspect been paid to the laws of God and Dian, u lien this Criminal , was arrestt d at Fontailibleau, shonld not now have had to dread the re kindling of the flames .4 - discord in Europe. But 1R: was spared l—the living Object to which ever y ,dis,contented eye might turn, while every dis tiontented soul dwelt in hope upon its reac— tion; was not only spared, but placed in the very centre of the space where be was niost ce q ,AL f harm. And there were those .rl;o applaufl;:d this moderatiln to the echo-- Thank Heaven, we never so greatly compromised our title to the rank of rational - beings. Ile1Ni:1i, we never approved of that forbearance cvhiCh was inconsistent with wisdom, of that nuigninimity which wasoblivions of prudence, of that generosity which was incompatible with jus tice, of thilt lenity to an usurping assassin which was barbarity to the human race. We well re tnembel cd that in the revolutions of Fortune's restles wheel, as has been quaintly said by one of our old- Poets— " Same raised aloft come titmLlinr, down amain, And fall so hard, they bound and rice again." But this portentous truth the Potentates of Eu rope seemed to have torgotteu—the reward of their folly is developing itself, and they may set about renewing their labours for the general pa eitication oldie Continent :—we trust, indeed, they will find them less difficult to be overcome than the ”pprehensions of many lead them to anticipate. The step taken by BUONA'PARTE is decisive, bold, and desperate. Ile has set hiS all Upon a cast, and must stand the hatrd of the die. la our yet iMperfeet information, the question which c om es to he silted is, whether the ex-Tyrant would hav e r. corted to this measure without assuraaces of ppOrt , with the nature of wi►ich we are unite- cpaini cd, and who arc those likely to attach them selves to hiS destiny. In Italy we are convinced his first: and greatest hopes rest. MunAT is his near kinsman, and . feels that he can only sway a regal sceptre i n concert with Usurpers as low-born as liAuself, The struggle for dominion is between t h e class- of Adventurers ‘vhom the French Revolu tion elevated, and th(7!‘legitimate Monarchs of, Fel rope . 3 and every man of ordinary understand ing in Europe has long been convinced, that ‘Chenever their pretension s - come into conflict, there would .he commou cause Inade.antong these trpstart vagmbotick .against all that was 'honour able and respectable with better trAm. The• North of Italy, too, is ripe for the plans . of 111,10 NA. PAUTE. TUrill, the very focus of the.conspiracies ifi that quarter, is before him, and Parma, _and Genoa, widliu his reach. Here prohality will iris earliest efforts be directed 3 —here, the very theatre of those military exploits which first st - amped hirn a victorious Ciencral, and laid the foundation• for his ack;anceinent to the Throne of France'. Tice country is very strott.;.,;, :11 exce cnt aYti no mnn belt acquainted with it, or knows better 110" 7 to avail hinlelf of these advatnages than NAro - - i.eoN I3l,qsNitt'Alti*E. Thus stand affairs on -the side of Italy. On France also with Considerable alarm. It is said that the majority Of the soldiers-are still devoted to their late Chief so, the several hundred thousand prisoners who have returned from England, Prussia, and Austria, present a fearful picture for our contemplation. Rumour has alreadygone so far as to hint that MASSENA, and AtioraEAu had joined the Pretender with the ti•oo,ps under their command, and swelled his force sto 50,000 or 60,000 men ; but this rests at present on no authentic basis, and will xiever, we trust, be realised.—Much depends on the consistency of the War Minister, SOULT. T a nese are the speculations which occur to us, supposing' I.II.TON.',PARTE. tO have acted advisedly : but there is another and not improbable solution of his extraordinary conduct, which is, that the whole may he the result of desperation ;—that ing the Cone:•ess were about to dispose of him, in a way he did not relish, he took tiwe by the fore lock and resolved on the perilous adventure which I as either to nuilie himsomce none a Monarch, or finish his career is the way , it ought long since to have terminated. Should thrb'' be the case, and indeed in any case, must feet Much the want of hinds. without which it is impossible to carry on warlike operations for any leng_th of time. Should no eminent success, therefore, at tend his first steps, should no defection of French Marshals paralyse the Goveru'mient, even With a ll. Italy and MURAT to hack him, he Must speedily sink into the state of a Brigarld, and be, with his . banditti, brought to condign punishment. Paving dwelt upon th;s important topic at so great-length, we shall now very briefly add a few isolated remarks which occur to us as connected with it, and worthy of being laid before our Readers. It is whimsical to consider the point, whether Buots•ArAaTE being acknowledged as the independent Sovereign of Elba, had not a right to invade France without exposing himself to be treated as a Rebel and Traitor. The King of of Prance never having recognized is the only dal - lenity in the question ; but after all, it is more curious than important, for, if he is caught, he will assuredly 'be shot, even should all the Ca-. nous otVATTEL, Gi4OTIUS, and PUFFENDoRFF, be in opposition to the sentence. The Morning Ciro nick, with its usual sagacity, and in an article dis tinguished for its usual patriotism, and hatred for NAPoLEON, says—" the question from every one in the streets yesterday was—' Will Ministers venture to commit England again in the war, if BoNAPAR TE should, indeed, be able to make a stand in France ?' This was generally answered, that experience had taught the People of Great Britain wisdom on these points." Perhaps it would have been as much to the purpose if the acute and loyal Writer had told us whether the Government of England was to maintain inviolate the faith of the Treaty coneltided with Louts the Eighteenth, by ‘N''hich it, as well as every POtentate in Europe, is bound to furnish .1 contingent for the general cause ! Probably he thinks treaties with illuavr and BUONAPARTE ought alone to held s ac red. We have not room to comment on this insidious Essay—it is every way worthy of its source, and, With the strange event which has just taken place, will shew the Public that it was not for nothing, nor without a good understanding, that the Organ of- the Whig Opposition of England so strenuously devoted its columns to ANTONIO DI RAVENNA and the Cause of, the Revolutionists of the North of Italy. The Muster has appeared on the scene, and we may now trace the oyigin of these secret springs. It is thought that the incipient disorders on the Continent will drive many of our travelling coun- try teen home. IVe have received the Quotidienne Paris Paper of the 7th, and distinct copies of the King's Or dormarces, which are, in the shape of "Affiches," widely distributed all user France. The former, which is the only minor Journal that no tices the event, says—" Ele who was for a longPtime the scourge of France, has made a mad attempt which must end in his ruin ; he has dared to pollute the French territories with his presence, on which he was so lately spared. He has landed in the Department of Var. A PRICE HAS BEEN SET UPON HIS HEAD, and proper measures have been taken to apprehend him." The Proident American frigate (for whose safety considerable apprehensions were cu►erta: n cd), arrived . at Bermuda, 28th January, totally dismasted.—llis Majesty's schooner.Fl4abeth, of 12 guns, upset in chaeing , thrtf.e American vessels in the \Vest Indies, and, we regret to add, that all on bo.►rd perished.

Last night hardlya moirof any kind was to be seen, and the few persons that were loitering about the corners of strectsippear, ed evidently to be drawn together from "curiosity. The only disturbance we cold , ' trace was at the house of CHArtt.F.s FonaEs, Esq. M. P. for Bever ley, in Fitzroy-square. Here a lew'panes were brolz.en, but the instant interference of both civil and military prevented further accidents. Several persons were taken into custody, anti carried to the watch-house.

Mr.•Fisnutt, the King's Niesenger, arrived yes terday morning at the Foreign Office, with dis patches from Lord F.4)141E 1: SET ;a t Paris. Lord CASTLEREAGH afterwards waited tipon the P R i Ncti REGC NT, at COSICMI House, with their contents. The French Ambassador went to the Foreign Office in consequence, and had a long interview' with Lord CASTLEREAGH. His Lordship sent a circular communication to all the Cabinet Alj nisters. Yesterday a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign'Office, at halt past two o'clock,. which was attended by all the Cabinet Ministers. Yesterday the Turti ish Ambassador transacted business at the Foreign Office. We understand that while strangers-were ex cluded from the Gallery, Mr, FRANK LAND LEWIS gave notice that he shOuld bring in a Bill to alter the mode of the Assize, whereby the (waken.) loaf, he pledged . himself to say, would be at least from a penny to three halfpence cheaper. COCHRANE -JOHNSTON E was seen at Lyons, a feW weeks since. The bo4'ot General QUESNEL has been found floating in the Seine. Tint LATE INlArattAGE.—The following is the account, which is said to be authentic, respecting this extraordinary union. On the day when the ceremony took place, the Lady called in her ear -1 riage at the house of the Gentleman, and sent up her card with - her maiden name. The Gentleman immediately entered the carriage, and it drove off. The next morning the Lady called, and sent up a card with her wedded name. The two daughters of the bridegroom, to whom the card, Was deliver ed, and who, it seems, .had not previously rteen acquainted with the bride, went to the window, and observing whose carriage was at the door, one of the Ladies fainted away. The husband of one of the Lndies was then sent for. He at first exp:;:ssed great indignation at what had happen-. ed, declaring that.he bad never 'teen indebted to the father-in-law, and never would, but he C-night it right to,remonstrate,_ and procure a provision for his wife's sister and her famiiy. - He then had an interview with the father, who promised to make the provisionnittired, and here the matter , ended. The bride, by all accounts,. has conduct ed herself with the most unasonning propriety and as she is weil known for a charitable disposi tion, her elevation will mast probably enlarge The I circle of her benevolence. .!~ ~r~' 1, :\ ,•; j of tic e off Madcira, (1 , 11 the 4 4 461 . i, ja„„:trv, o f the Cc , " • Irony's it9mlrny B hd chinl s hipr, Charles IVvid Scott, ingth, 71\1 " 1“ini5 . t;annfeiy, Vansii.tart.
