Paris., April 4." (From the 211(iiiiteur of the 13th.) PARIS; APRIL 12.—The Emperor went ant yes terday iii his carriage at 7in the morning. He walked. in the Bois-de-Bulard, an,d breakfasted at Maimaison with the Princess Hor►,ense. Oa his return to Paris at one o'clock, he held a Conucil of his Ministera which sat till seven.. [An eittact from the Register of the Secretary of State, under the title of " Council of Ministtrs, sitting of 29th March," give the noble addi*s of the Allied Powers . 13th March, which Fouche furnished for their deliberation.i, and upon which Maret descants in the style of Mr. Whitbread and the Morning Chronicle. . A similar Sitting of the 2d April ftirnisbei a Very long report on the same subject. It aeknOwledgei the authenticity of this important i!Ocument but we have not room for even an aliii4ement of this tirade, which is signed by a Count Defer man, Count Reynaud St. Jean d'Angely, Count Boulay, and Count Andreossi.] The Minister of the Interior advises the Mem bers of the Electoral Colleges of the Departments to make their residences known, in order that they may be convoked to assist in the Assembly of the Champ-de-Mai. The illoniteur of the 12th states , that the Na tional Guards of Dduphiny bad taken the Duke D'ANGOULEME prisoner, and refused to recognize the Capitulation of his little troop, because it had not met the approbation of General Grnuchi. Ge neral Grouchi announced this event by Telegraph, upon which the Emperor wrote as follows M. Le COusz Gnovcnt—The Ordonnance of the King, dated the 6th March, and the Declaration signed at Vienna on the 13th by his Ministers, would authorize mein tr eatin g the Doke of Angunleine in the same manner which this Or donnance and this Declaration would treat me and my fa mily. But, stcdfast , in the disposition which caused me to decree that the Members of the Bourbon Family might de part freely from France, my intention is, that you give di rections for conducting the Duke of Angonleme to Cette, where he will embark, and that you will take care to guard him from all ill treatment. You will reclaim only the funds abstracted from the public chests, and demand from the Duke of Angonleme an obligation far the restitution of th e Crowe. Diamonds, which are the property of the Nation. — Yon will also -wake known to him the renewal of the Laws passed by the National Assemblies, and which apply the Members of the Bourbon Family who shall re-ent:i• the French territory. You will, in my name, thank the Na tional Guards for the patriotism and zeal with which they hare manifested their attachment to me under important cir7untstances. " Palace of the Thuilleries, April It. " NAPOLEON." (From the Journal de Paris of the 14th.) After contradicting a report of ,- an acti - tm be tween the Neapolitans and Austrians, which it had cirenlateci the clay before ; this Journal as s-erts, that Murat had taken up a position purely defemive, in the Marches. It adds, that when the arm♦ heard of the entry of Buonaparte into Paris, on the 28th, it lighted bon-fires on the Appenines, and celebrated this event with enthu siastic rejoicings. The array k a very flue one, consisting ot 60,000 men and 150 pieces ot cannon, and if war ensues, it will be augmented to double that force by Italians, impatient of the yoke by which they are so cruelly oppressed. Twenty thol'sand troops of the line have been left at Nat►iei, seconded by 40,000 provincial guards, animated with the greatest ardour for the defence of their country and the rights of their Sovereign. The King of Naples declares that be will take part with Buotivatte, if the Powers in Congress interfere with the interior affairs of France, and he promises an explosion in Italy, Poland, and part of Germany, which will change the. face of Europe. Marshals do Cornegliano (Moncey), Jourdan, Brune, de Reggio (Oudinot), and St. Cyr, are at Paris. They took the Oath of fidelity to •the Emperor last Sunday. The Prince de Canino has arrived in Paris. Many persons believe that, after having bad 'an interview with the Emperor, and another with the Minister of Police, he has act alto London with an ultimatum ! The Countess de Marmier is nominated Lady of the Palace to the Empress (Front the Gazette de France.) MADRID, MARCH 29.—Eleven regiments, under General Aritaga, have been ordered to strengthen the cordon in Navarre, but the troops move by short marches, and the revolution at Bourdeaux, of which the details are known, is not likely to ferment these hostile resolutions. The King is still here. The frontiers arc confided to General Palafox for Arragon, General Freyre for Navarre, and Di. Castanos for Catalonia. • Ausrat.t.—ln no country do they publish so many contradictory statements as in Germany ; every petty Prince has his selfish aura political in terests, in which it is easy to sec, that the wishes of the people, their welfare and happiness, have nothing to do. With this caution, we traneribe for our readers the mistakes and falsehoods circu lated on the other side of the Rhine. VIENNA, APRIL 2.—We are assured that Aus tria has given up to King Joachim the Papal Marches, and that England, Russia, and Prussia, have acceded to the Treaty. Count Niepperg, who signed the last Treaty with Naples, is ap pointed to negociate a new and definitive Treaty with that State. He sets off to-morrow for An cona, furnished with full powers. Prince Wrede departs on Tuesday next ; the Emperor of Russia on the Bth for Prague, where he will review his forces on the 10th, and then return. hither. The Emperor of Austria will, it is said, set out on the 15th for Frankfort, where the grand head-quarters of the Allied Armies will be immediately established. The King of Prussia • goes on the 11th direct for Berlin. 'The Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia have invited the secondary German States to appoint a Depu tation, to deliberate with the other Members on the formation of the Federative Constitutioa for Germany. From Mentz to Italy the armies will be com manded by Prince Schwartzenberg. The Aus trian farce will be divided as follows :—A grand corps, wider the Prince of Hohenzollern, a second under Jerome Collerelo, and the reserve under i;uioce Maurice of Licittenstein. The exchange upon Aug burgh is below 400. (ITALv.)-Mktg - rui, MARCH 25.--This city (nay be said to he iii a State of s.iege.

PARIS, APRIL 13.- - L-A letter from Calais states; that the Courier, SAINT-RemAtti, who have been sent to England by the French Governnient, dis eitiharked at noon on the I lth, art his return front London, charged with dispatches from Lord Castle reagh. He has set out foi Paris. He reports,; that ,they are embarking many horses- at Dover.' TIE ENGLISH PEOPLE DEMAND PEACE, and many people still liape that there will be no rupture ! ! !! Prince Lucien Bucinaparte Lis not returnectj as announced by some of the Journals. Letters from Vienna announce, that the Em press Maria Louisa and her august Son are hi good health . The Empress often rides out on .horseback, and carries with her the young Prince to see Vienna, and they also frequently visit Sehoenbrunn. The same letters add, that the au gust Infant is enduwed with indescribable intelligence, and expreiSei himself, in matters belonging to Ilia age, in French German, and Italian.

Telma, will not go to London. This- Celebrated Actor ought to be in Paris at the epoch of the fetes of the Champ= de-Mai. These Papers contain a PrOclamation by Louts XVIII. dated Frankfort, April which we take it for granted is a forgery, as his Majesty has not been at Frankfort : it states, that all Europe is advancing to rescue France frOm .the yoke of oppression ; calls upon the people to rally round the White Standard, and conclthleS' whit an apostrophe, in which his Majesty says " Frenchmen, why would you bear aims against me ?I am not your Enemy-1 am your King—l am the Brother of Louis the XVlth : I come, like Henry the Fourth, to combat and overthrow a new league ; I come a second time to bring you peace and honour. (Sigued) LOUIS; " And countersigned by the DUKE DE FELTRE." COURIER EXTRAORDINARY OF WEDNESDAY MORNING. We are assured that the Pope has requested from the Emperor permission to roil e into France. MILAN ; APRIL I.—A corps of the Neapolitan army has occupied Rome. The Pope left the ca pital on the 22d, after appointing a Junta of State. Murat demanded passage for two divi sions of his troops through the Papal territories, which being refused as a violation of Neutrality, led to these hostile measures. STRASBURGH, APRIL B.—Count Rapp has pub lished an Order of the Day, in which he says, " If the Strangers troiible our peace, )ou will prove to them that you have not ceased to be the first soldiers in the world : an honour which you owe to those heroes who conducted you victori ously from the Cataracts of the Nile even to the Banks of the Moskvra." PARIS, APRIL 12.---The Army of Observation assembled before Lille amounts to 60,000 men : it is divided into two corps; the ,first in advance of Lille; the second with its head-quarters at Va lenciennes. These two corps are commanded by Count . d'Erlon and General Rulle. There • are 350,000 muskets, and 150,000 re pairing, in the Government magatines. The Moniteur contains a list of the NATIONAL Guanns destined to protect the frontiers against invasion : it presentg A total of 3130 battalions, which, at 720 men in each, gives a total of two millions two hundred and fifty-five thousand and forty National Guards. The same statement men tions the number of men who are to garrison eighty-one of the strong fortresses of the Empire. Th e Moniteur has also some correspondence in tercepted in the South, which describes great confusion in that quarter. IMPERIAL DECREE. " NAPOLEON, &C. Ist.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM HARWICH, APRIL 16. Passengers who have reached this country by the last arrivals report, that the Northern Powers of Etirope are using their best efforts in the Common Cause. The Russian forces are ad vancing with the- utmost expedition. Waggons and vehicles of every description are put in re quisition for their ccnveyance, and their inclina tions are not to tarry. It is confidently asserted that the Prussians had passed through Landau, and after a severe conflict with the French, in which they lost 7000 men, had possessed them selves of the strong fortress of Strasburgh, on the Lower Rhine. The departure of tile post will not admit of my' ascertaining further particulars, or what degree of credit is to be attached to this report ; but 1 have it from a respectable channel, and it is certain that the best disposition prevails, and that every exertion will be used to crush the power of the remorseless Tyrant. Circular orders were issued on Saturday last, for recruiting for the disembodied Militia by beat of drum. There is no trdth whatever in the miserable anecdote forced by C/ootz into the Parliamentary Debate of Prida, respecting Prince PLATOFF'S celebrated horse. It is at Hampton Court, and among the most favoured animals of our Prince's fine stud. What a contemptible endeavour to hurt the feelings of the PRINCE REGENT, it d injure his Royal Highness and the Country in the esti. illation of fore►gners ? The man's heart must be festering with animosity who could descend . thus low. THE THEATRE.—The cordial manner in which Mr. KEMBLE was received on Saturday last, on his return to Covent-Garden Theatre, was cre ditable to the Public, as well as honourable to himself. Nothing could be more ardent than the universal and reiterated applause that welcomed his entrance. He received this gratifying testi mony of public esteem and admiration with the strongest marks of respectful gratitude ; and by his subsequent performance of The Stranger, fully rewarded the audience for their kindness. Miss O'NIELL is always so attentive to her duty that we will not say she exerted her self with more zeal on this occasion, but we doubt not that she must have derived addi tional pleasure from the applause which she re ceived in partaking it with the first actor of the age. W e protested against the immoral tendency of the play on its first representation, and we are convinced that it is never performed without some injurious operation, in spreading a varnish of sen timent over guilt, and exciting a compassionate in terest in favour of adultery. DEATIL OF MR. HENRY,SIDDONS.---We are sin cerely concerned that we have to announce the death of this Gentleman. The melancholy event happened on Wednesday last at Edinburgh'. His disorder was water in the chest.--As an Actor, if not in the first line of excellence, he was always judicious, and manifested strong feeling, as well as a critical knowledge of his author. He pos sessed literary talents which have often contri buted to public gratification in novelty, plays, and poetical effusions. When our great Actress, Mrs. SIDDoNs, first burst forth on the London stage with a blaze of excellence that probably never will be equalled by any other Actress, the Gen tleman whom we now mention performed the part of her child in the Tragedy of Isabella. He was some years at the Charter House, and was intended for the Church ; but a strong hereditary attachment induced him to devote himself to the Stage, He was the Patentee and Manager of the Edinburgh Stage. He possessed a charac ter in private life of the most amiable nature, and was held in high anti merited esteem b y all con netted with him in business and in friendshi p , EXECUTION.—This morning William Woodham temporary for sheep stealing, and John Anderson for high.. fonettionger-lAne t tebiee c t u n ted o o f n t a he te e m ntrance jut," plat formwtNr e o e r:e lr b c erdy Prison,(l ornk `» :=...~
