STUTOARDT, MATCH 1 6.—Yesterda y his Ma jesty opened the Sittings of the States-Gencral with the following speech from the throne • " For the first time I sre the representatives of my people assembled around my throne. I have anxiously looked forward to this moment. "It was my wish to connect in the closest manner all the different portions of territory and subjects which Providence has placed under my sceptre, for the • common maintenance awl %welfare of all. As soon ns external events permitted it, and when those oh , tacles were removed which separated various . district's, I sought to attain this object ; and uni ty of constitutional principles, and sameness of action in all the. various parts of .the realm, were %.the first fruits of, my labours. :The divisional se parations of diStricts disappeared ; the restraints placed on free and reciprocal 'intercourse are 're moved. The various territories are now insepara tle portions of one hole. Diversity,of and of rank, in future make no difference in the enjoymenfof civil rights. Ali contribute in like proportiim to the charges of the. State. They jcnnw now only one interest ; they live as citizens of one and,the same community.

My Minister ' s have sup ported me in•my labou'rs; and my subjects of all classes haveborne.the burthens, of the time, and submitted to the efforts of every kind by which security and independence were tri be acciniril, with voluntary devotedness. And now, also, after the restorittion of general peace, I come tinder an engagement to the lasting, maintenance of the States, as the key-stone of the constitutional structure, by giving my people this proof of My paramount regard for their wants .and! Welfare.— The personal freedom and civil rights of all classes - are thereby secured, and the nation is summoned, by means of its Representatives, to tinite itself with the Authorities of the State, for the exercise of the most considerable rights of Government. This constitution . will, I trust, lay the ' foundation of the lasting felicity of my people ; they will lay aside all little and merely personal views, and manifest a spirit which will for ever actively con tribute ti) the teal interests of the State, and the Avelfare of all. Every constitutional wish of my people, presented to meithrongh their represen tatives, shall always receive from me a gracious audience. Princes, Counts, Lords, Ministers of Religion, elected Representatives of the people; let us, united for the promotion of the 'interests of the nation, confirm for ever the sacred.contract between the and my subjects. Let one interest, that of King and country, one spirit, that of the general welfa re , now actuate all ! So shall we be pOwerful and happy.

They have begun to replace on the public mo numents executed under the reign of the Emperor, the Monogram, etc. F:f his Majesty, which the last Government had caused to be effaced. Prince Joseph and the 'Princess Hortense have this day paid a visit to his Imperial Majesty. By order of his Majesty, the Minister of the Interior has issued a Decree, which suppresses. the Oouncil of Public Institution, and re-establiihes the Imperial U n i vers ity, conformaltly. to the d,q-crees 'for its organi•:ation, with the exception of the changes which hiolajesty reserves to himself to make in the appointtnents of individual's. MAnntri, MARCH 13.—The arrests cdritinue. There have been committed to• prison within these two or three days all the Members of the Department of Finance, and others have been ap pointed to succeed them. -When it is known that there is received in the Royal Treasury °lily 30 per cent. of the whole revenues of the State, it will be perceived how lucrative those appoint ments must have been, . 'V,EN7Iek, Mancu U.—We are assured that the Austrian Government has sent 15,000 'men as a reinfOrcement to Italy. General Bianchi is ex pected at Venice, to succeed the Prince of Reuss, Who is ill, in the command of that city. MARCH 15.—They speak of the arrival of 6,000 ,Neapolitans at Ancona, and it is added, that the King of Naples is there at their head. TRIESTE,: MAxtc:t 12.—0 a the first news of the departtue of Napoleon from the Isle of Elb a , a great agitation prevailed 'amongst every clasS of people. All CoMmercial operations were Sus pended ; and every body was occupied with poli tical intelligence. The few Italian regiments which were in Italy have been sent to Hungary, and are to be re placed. by 40,000 men, the advanced guard of which'are already arrived. The addresses from the army continue to pour into the office of the Minister of War. Amongst what have been received within these few days, are those from the different regiments quartered at Lisle, Mezieres,Montmedy,Vesoul,Sedan,Amiens, Arras, Valenciennes, Toul, St. Michel, Givet, Ca lais; Arras, Bar-sur-Ornaine, Besancon, Vannes, Nancy, Lons,le Saulner, Epinal, Argentum, val, Metz, and several other towns. MAYENNE, MARCH 24.—Two priests endeavour ed to distribute writings against the Emperor; denying the departure of the King, and the entry of the Emperor into the capital : it produced a trifling movement on the part of a small number of Royalists, but it was instantly sup pressed by an - immense majority of the inhabi tants, who rallied under the tri-coloured flag. • Tour.ousg, MAUCH 20.—A very singular scene, and one which has thrown a great deal of ridicule upon its authors, has taken place here. Yester day a private man disturbed the public by crying, " Vive le Roi !" and " all those who are the friends of the King 'follow me !" Man y young men went atter him. The greatest part went to give their mimes to the municipality, in order to serve as volunteers, but to-day, every one having received his letter to depart nobody answered the appeal. favour. The Neapolitan Courier Natilli, who arrive.- at Vienna on the 14th, has brought from the King of Naples the assurance that his Majesty hag given orders to take linonapartc dead or alive, if he should land in his States, and that he will al- ways; treat him as an Usurper. LIEGE, MARCH 28.---Prussian Regiments, both cavalry and infantry, continue to pass through this city, going to Namur. Marshal Bertbier arrived here yesterdiay, and proceeded to Germany.. They say he is gone to the Xing of Bavaria, and will afterwards return to Louis XVIII. BRUSSELS, MARCH 30.--Our August Sove reigns have made their solemn entry into - this city, at half -past five this afternoon, amidst re peated salutes of artillery, the ringing : of bells, &c. The whole population of Brussels went to meet them, and received theta every ' where - with the liveliest exp;•essions of joy and ificessant,ac clamatiozis. it seemed that the circumstances of ANGOULEME, MARCH 24.—A1l the efforts made here to arrest an expression in favour of the Em peror have failed. VIENNA, MAttcH 18.--Comte Hiller is intend ed for the chief Command of the army in Italy.— ' General de Frimont will command the army o f th e Tyrol. General the Marquis de Chastcler is re ported to hose died suddenly at Venice, but the circumstances attending this event are variously given ; some speak of a duel between this General and an English Officer; others of assassination by an Italian, occasioned by an affair of gallantry. It appears fr om a l etter of the auditor of the Rota, that the Pope sends emissaries into various countries under pretext of transacting ecclesiasti cal affairs, but in fact to regulate, according to the caprices <if the Court of Rome, the interior discipline of churches. In general these officious agents have been but ill received. One has been driven out'of Spain ; and it is only a few months ago that at Klelines the same compliment was paid to one Ciatuberlani, who disseminated in Belgium ideas of fanaticism and sedition.—(Jour - /sal de Paris.) ,„ the moment had given to this pompous ceremony a peculiar interest, and that the tics which bind the Belgians and the Dutch become more inti- mate, at a moment which unites for ever their common destinies.— (0 r&cle , March 30.) BRUSSELS, MARCH 29.—The march of the Prus sian troops along the Meuse, continues without interruption. Those already arrived about Namur are very numerous. The force, of which the ad vanced-guard arrived on the 26th, and which will all have passed through by the 2d April, consists of seven regiments of cavalry, 30 battalions of Yagers, and fourteen battalions of artillery. As soon as this corps is passed, we expect the Saxon troops under General Tidehut, and after them another Prussian corps of the same strength as the first. The Hessian troops who are to join the Prus sian Army come to the neighbourhood of Treves. At this moment Luxemburg has a garrison of 10,000 men. Numerous corps are stationed along the whole Fiend' frontier. The camp at Arlon, four leagues from Luxemburgh city, is to be formed as soon as possible. All the French fortresses, one after the other, have hoisted the tri-coloured flag : the troops declare for Buonaparte, but the inhabitants are much divided. The French force on the frontiers is small. An idea may be formed of this from the state of several garrisons ; Lille has only three regiments of Foot, one of Cuirassiers, and four companies of Artillery, about 6000 men in all. The garrisons of Arras and Cambray con sist each of one regiment of foot and one of horse. In Donay, one regiment of artillery, one of ca valry, and one of infantry, about 3000 men to gether. At Valenciennes are two regiments of foot, and one of horse. In Cond6 only 1200 men. We are not exactly inform- I of the state of the other fortresses, but it is certain they are not properly garrisoned or provisioned. -The communication with France is become very difficult ; pH carriages, mails, and travellers from that country a ro stopped on the frontiers, and 4 " suffered to pus who cannot give a satis- (From the MonFteur of the nth.) :NANTES, MARCH 24.—0 n the evening of the 24th the Duke de Bourbon and Madame de la Fremouille passed near this place, they did not dare to enter Nantz. Their carriage was pursued by the inhabitants of the country. M. d'Autichamp left Nantz as soon as he heard of the arrival of the Emperor. All the Chwians of consequence have concealed themselves, fear ing to be arrested and ill-treated by the acqui rers of national' demesnes. The Volunteers have returned to Angers, and abandoned their Chiefs. CHATELLELSNT, Mnacn 23.—A Curate at Vi ronne, wished to excite the inhabitants to take up arms. Ills preaching produced no effect. The public spirit is excellent in the department of Vienne. LIMOES, MARCH 25.--;The National Flag is displayed every where in this department. The inhabitants show great enthusiasm. A small number of volunteers who had set out on requisition of the Authorities, arc now wander ing about ; they have thrown away their arms, being afraid to sheW themselves, and only march by night to regain their homes. Lmtrt, 26.—A1l is tranquil here; our gates are open ; none of the Royalists have shown themselves, the population is devoted to the Em peror, and every day the troops defile on parade to cries of Viva l'Empereur. No movement of foreign troop s is talked of. It appears, notwith standing the peace, and our attitude so entirely pacific, that our neighbours are alarmed, surely without reason, and that Tournay is strongly pallisadetL • • - Co.
