THE SUN. QUIS DICERE FAI k S11:1 MIDEAT p. LONDON, fritunsp.,ir, .31:dRCII 5:4,1615. FUG! r OF THE KING, &c. &c. Th e most prominent and melancholy part of . this intelligence will be found announced in the following letter from . • " BRIGHTON, dated IKednesday Prening, 9 o'Clock• " BUONAPARTE ENTERED PARLS ON MONDAY I,,AST, AT THREE O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON; AT THE HEAD OF SIXI Y MEN ONLY, WITH ARMS RE VERSED.—CoI. HARCOURT landed at Newhaven this morning, is at Brighton, and saw the Usurper arrive. The Colonel left Paris at 11 o'Cloeli on Monday night-, and came by way of Dieppe, with the French War Minister CLARKE, at the alkt of 'BER Aid-till-Camp," ANOTHER tETTER, SAME DATE. • By .1),. s enge r s arrived late last night at Paris, it appears that in order to save the effusion of blood, an arrangement tOO% place between the iitivausTs and 1 3 1 / 9 NAPARTE, by which King Louis and his Court were to .retire•to Abbeville, on their way into Flanders ; Marshal NEY and the - Army under him are said to have joined the TAin)er—iude e d it appears from all that has oc• curred since BUONAPARTE landed inFrance, that a Tegurar, organi,ed, and well planyed :scheme among all the Chief Authorities: in rrance had been concerted with the Tyrant,',and:that the un- fortun - 4ie and truly amiableKing-Lovis- le desire' bad been :basely betrayed by those in whom he bad trusted. The Duke of Bgaar's Children have arrived here." Such is the catastrophe of this fatl drama : catastrophe so' abhorrent td every good, feeling, that we can scarcely turn to contemplate the'in cidents which immediately led to it. The fol lowing letter, however, mentions two tacts, which serve to corroborate, by anticipating on good grounds, the information contained in our Notes from Brighton : " Deal, 't_farch 22, 1815. " A Packet is just arrived from Boulogne, blown in here by a gale of wind. Col. FRANK . LAND, M. P. and Mr. RUNDELL, of Ludgate-hill, have landed from her. Louis XVIII. is at Abbe ville, and it is supposed confidently that.BUONA PARTI IS IN P.mts, particularly as no' post from Paris had arrived at Boulogne yesterday nor to-day at ten o'clocic." Tile flight of the KING, and the interruption of the communications with the Capital, but too plainly prove that it was in the 'possession of the common Enemy. To these accounts, which are bat the consum mation to be expected from what appeared in se veral of the Morning Papers, we have to acid the statements in these Journals, which, though they differ in a few minor points, concur generally in recording, that the intelligence brought by Mr. RoDINsoN, who kit Paris at one WCIOCk an MoMiay morning, was, that the Royal Family found it expedient to abandon the nuillerics at eight o'clock on the preceding evening (Stinday), ar : !vhich date tUON'APARTE WOtati arrive ai Ftrn te.'"':eali, anti us from , theascertaind d'sp9sition .:Ennu-3 Ilamburgli, !Dublin.

I Erening, 59 min utt after / ENTRANCE OF BUONAPARTE INTO PARIS. ,We have not for a length yf time, we may say sve never addressed the British Piddle with hearts so heavy as we do this day. Villainy has tri umphed—the Renegade 'Corsican has travelled through France; has entered Paris ; has re-seated himself upon the Bonibon. Throne ! Such is the - 211licting news We have now - to communicate.— A • t.the head of a body of Tirigands, almost without opposition ; has this Leader of banditti walked over I the population of a great COuntry,.and by the aid of an army devoted 'to his lawless anibition, re established a. military despotism upon the ruins of Gallic Liberty. • The entire particulars in the last Act of this amazing drama, are yet but imper fectly-known —such as have reached us we shall endeavotir to detail with fidelity at least if not with order, for we confess we are too much dis tressed by the intelligence to I)e,able to-arrange it lucidly.— The Times Newspaper of this morning charg6 us with error in our Second Edition of Monday, in which we .nwntioned the rumour of an action at Chalons, in which the Rebel troops were de•• fcated " This story (says the Writer) we found our selves unwillingly obliged to doubt ; and in our Tuesday's Paper we stated thole doubts, together with the intelligence we had then received, that BUONAPARTE'S forces had reached . Auxerre. In the Sun of the same evening We found a re-asser tion of the pretended victory of Chalons." Now it would have been blit - fair to - have no ticed that the events of an action at Chalons (as we Viewed it, and as it was stated' in the Gazette de France received on Tuesday,) and of BUONA PARTE'S being at Anxerre, are perfectly compati ble, and that we, in the Second Edition of THE SUN giving this intelligence, expressed :our own doubts of its authenticity in these words vernment, we. understand, have not received a confirmation of this cheering Information, acrd we only wish we may soon be able to authenticate it by more unquestionable authority." With regard to our questioning the Tithes Cor respondenL in his a sßertion,• that BUONAPAETE reached Auxerre on the lith o it might be some justification of our scepticism to remind that Journal, that it was conjoined with two very pal pable mistake R respecting Sovr,T and CHAvra ; but we do not desire at this time to pro voke the continuance of the controversy, and we, therefore, upon that point, sincerely offer the " 'amende lionorable" which the Tithes has re qaested. This is no period for jangling among Papers, which, have one great object in view.:- ti) stir up and animate 'Europe. to an in stant, vigorous, . and powerful assault upon the still unsettled Tyrant. It he is allowed to breathe upon his usurped throne, if be is pCr. 'flitted to organize his militaryanean s ; then can we look for nothing but a peolonged conflizt,.aanr a dreadful.' sequel- to the desolation and horrors which have for a quarter of a century afflicted the civilized world. The moment in which we speak is the moment to strike, unanimously, firmly, "successfully. The MAnomer OF ALL THE JACO BINS OF ALL THE WORLD, •is again exalted to power, and woe to the nonarch or people who shall hesitate to rush to battle to accomplish his immediate overthrow. Let the Times unite with as heartily in this cause, and forget' little bicker ings about trifles.—The nervous pen nbich was so well employed to the seeming conclusion of the war, Will thus be. better occupied than it has since been, and all our humble efforts shall be cordially devoted to the same holy Cans,; AVC learn that an attempt- was made on the Life of the KING OF FRANCE, in theThuilleries, on Thursday last. The Assassins had got into his Majesty's hed 7 room, «•hare one of theirs was seized, with a knife on his person, and instantly. shot. Such are the accomplices of the Traitor BOONAPARTE.I IVe are assured that the t'oles who were with BtioNAPAnTe in Elba, have araintained themost active connonnications tviti) their native country— Where an explosion and diversion in favour of that - person may, therefore, be coqsidered as very probable. Army has been diverted on a wrong scent towards Italy, to i!fford the usurp er time to coilsolittute his amtlitvity ft) Fr:wee. IVe tryst gular troops would not oppose the usurper, it was absolutely necessary for the KING, his Family; and his Friends., to save .themelves by instantAight. It is imposslble for' us yet to state posifive ly,, whither the unf9rtunate .Sovereign • directs his steps, it depends we .undcrstam . l, upon the dis position of the people. • We trust to Flanders, because, though England would receive him with open arras and warmest hospitality, and will do so should it again become necessary to him .to take refuge in this land of freedOm and security, a present visit might have an effect injurious to the Royal cause upon the public mind of France.' his MAJESTY, it is I'pOrted, slept at Montreuil on Monday night: Horses were pre pared for hint to proceed. on Tuesday morning.— He entered Montrettil with a train of three.car riages and six, without any attempt at incognito, and without any military escort. He attempted, but was unable from feeling, to address the:multi tude of people (who received him with shouts of " Five le Roi !") from the window of the Hotel de Prefecture, where he lodged. The' natary in the streets, a lth oug h / disposed personally to re spect, him 'equally with the inhabitants, while in his presence, did not scruple to avow their attach ment to 131.70NAPAIITE, by the usual cry of " Vice l'Empereur !" and by songs in his praise at their Garde du Corps. Country, at any rate their presence iu the for will not be tar amiss. • it is possiblethat the firSt thing BUONAPARTE will do, will he to transmit insidious offers of Peace to this 'Country, and to the other Nations of Europe. We see incited, that his friendshere, in Parliament and in the Morning Chronicle ,- are' preparing the public mind for this event . , iandeti- , ileavouring to persuade the ignorantlifiltt)WW with thisßuthan would be ruinous to us. This is their old cant, and will not prevails Peace with such a fiend would not only be. ikiin; -but , disgrace ! It his strength is then so great, as to forbid successful opposition, let us at least fall honourably, with arms in our hands. But this picture is exaggerated. There is but one:sen timent in Europe upon this event—there is but one wish—there is - but one : voice, and it .ex= claims in thunder,"DOWN WITH THE TyItANT'! !"• lie must be overthrown, or the independence of nations must yield to his iron , despotism. Oh ! such e peace as could be made with a demon, with vengeance rankling in his heart, and ill-concealed by his affected moderation - till the hour arrived, when. he could rend the veil asunder, and burst, like a volcano, from his burn ing seat to devastate the World ! Are we blinel or mad to talk of Peace with BuoNAPAera now % We, who thought we could not safely make Pe ace with him before. What have we dime to recommend us to his favour ; we have been the cause of his humiliation, and- ignominious defeat—it is likely be will reward us 'for our services ! But w e cannot ;enter into argnment upon this subject tifer . .our pre,seut sensations. War ! War !" must, Arid • will the shout of Nations, till the Usurper is hrought.cl to coudign punishment—France will not, cannot support hint, and he and his banditti,adilireqents must be exterminated .before the world can taste repose. It seems to be the opinion of the best informed persons„ thatnothing can be done till theloie4inti, French Army is wholly broken and disptifsed.,,,-, The Russian Emperor, it seems, oveduled.Jhe: Allies in requiring thiit BUON . APARTE: shuld, placed in Elba, and it is confidently affirmed, that he is determined to collect his whOle force against the Usurper, and to leave no thing to chance. He is said to be,, severely stung by the: issue of events, more particular ly as it cvaS by his resolute persuasion that the Usurper was thus enabled to escape, and re kindle the flame of war in Europe. BUOXA- PARTE, in animating his saidierS, reminded them that they, had been in possession of every Capital of the European. Continent, and though this observation may stimulate them, it - is : a candid warning to all, the P,otentates' who so lately hottibled the Tyrant. In short, nothing , can be expected till the Usurper's Army is com pletely subdued and broken.
