Its first cry tvnnid be a new consecration of that alliance sworn nine centuries ago, betweeo the nation of the Franks and the Royal House or France, and perpetuated fur nine centwies between . the posterity of tho.,e Franks • and the posterity of their Kings :-the true French Na- ion would never wish either to perjure its an cestors, -nor perjure itself: But what 'can you exne-2t front an Usurper, or from those who have ensanguined or defiled all that they -have ever touched ; who have made 'objects of derision, or every thing that ongl.it to he the opject of veneration and love ; who would tle.grace, were it possible, even the names of Country, Liberty, ihe Constitution, Laws, Honour ; and Virt ue ?" The above Mannesto Was adopted in a Royal . of State , presided by his Majesty, on the report of Count Lally Tolleinkl, at glient, April 2', 1815. The following - • is an abstract of the 'eloquent Report on - the State of France by the Viscount de Chutt•aNbrimud. Aftrr•a sort introduction, the Report arrang,s itself under four heads I.—ACTS . AND DEMEES FOR THE INTEE:oR. Under this heattthc reporter contrasts the benedictions that followed the King ori his departure ? It'ith the gloom that was einis,•cl by ;he return of Buonlparte ; he remarks on the sys tem of oiicial lying ; the proclamations of Pnohaparte, pro tnnin4 the return of the golden age ; and the extraordinary of the extraor.linat y Commissioners The censor- glii , with which 13 uoaaparte's . Xlini;ters upbraid those of vas, buwerer, established for their sake, and: obliged th e people a be silent, upon !isi. events. - If littoliatmite abolishes the Excise, he Only undoe3 his Own worli : how lie conwi to have a right, .among flee people; to /Our the mofic of Jevyin; taxes rweicr;hed jiy the law, is no water, if he filds it useful to aholl:sh, or feign to abo!ish, tin uopop!fla: tAx. If Ike should he distr essed, ha need only. refuse to pay his debts. On the Decree for eallinc out the -National Gudrds, there are the fu!lowidg import ant re- lon, Sire, abolished the conscripcion, and thought yon bad for ever delivered your people and the WLuid from that sccurge. nuonaparl j'ait restorC.d it only arhAer amr.ite'r shape, a n d vcal lag itA tnilona Ilis iletr, t 3 at tp tht natiorrtil l's; one ot the inost frigbtfol '3IA rimtnqi.ona things thtrevel Uticht. ta this :Liorii,nt 3,190 buttallons are tiesignatell.at tb rate of 720 then eaelt t the 2,' Lem a total of 2,5: , -'46CO.

" This immense - haul embraces the Ni'hoti: population of France, and, comprehends what the levies in mass and tht conscriptions never included. - In 1793 the Convention dared to tohe only /' years, the men between 18 and 25. they now march all front 2:0 to 60, discharged or nut discharged ; mar ried or unmarried; those with substitotes or those witbout; guards of honour, volunteers, all, in short, are enveloped in this general proscription.. I3uonaparte, tired of detiminating the French people, means to exterminate them at one blow. It is hoped, by the terror of the police, to compel the citizens to enrol themselves. Happily, Sire, material facts and moral influence contribute to diminish the danger of this disastrous conscription. There remain !it very few muskets in the ar senals of France: in consequence of the invasion of last year, several manufactories of arms were dismantled or destroyed. Pikes are capable of !Icing fabricated speedily enough to be. put into the hands of the multitude; hut this arm furnishes Tittle resource. As to that valour which, with Frenchmen, supplies the place of all arms, it is certain that the National Guards will not tmploy it against your Majesty. All the mo ral farce of France and the torr,nt of public opinion are ab solutely for the King. In .many Departments, tin National Guards will not ri F at ail, or will only . form with extreme diOictllty: in fine, the citizen, oppressed 1): the soldier, will less readily submit to be subjugated, if arms arc given him; and Buonaparte, instead of pouring a twople" who hate him into an army Which he his seduced, will perhaps lose a de voted soldiery in a hostile population." • IL-EXTTRIOR. Under this head are stated the attempts of Buonaparte to deceive foreign powers by hopes of Peace; While he flatters his army with the recovery of Belgium, the natural boundary Of the Rhine, and Italy; his pi - caching of peace, while coat , milting daily acts of aggression; trying, though in vain, to seduce the Swiss regiments; promising half-pa , ' to the Bel - ilia!) otlicers, who have erased to be subjects of France; and insulting the Sovereign who,. himself tried by adversity, so generously receives his illustrious cot eague in misfortune. The question of , fo: eigu interference..is tints forcibly stated : " The Allied Powers have not the right to interfere in the afrairs of France ! No; and they themselves declare that they do not pretend to regulate our political institutions. Bet when the French, oppressed by a faction, see the enemy of the•human 'race re-appear at their head, the man who carried I fire and sword into all th e nat i ons of Europe, is it not the ' ddty of the Yovereigns to avert the new danger which threatens them? . Who c.in trust the word of BUonaparte ? Who willbelieve his oaths? By his pacific protestations he wishes only to gain time :.nd collect his legions. Is it eons: Patihle with the interest of France herself, or of the neigh homing States, to permit to snhsist in the centre of the ci vilised world, a handful of perjured military, who domineer- ing over the very army, dispose at their pleasure of th• sceptre of St. Louis, and confer or resume it at the pleasure of the it cape ice? What, may a legitimat e sovereign be torn from the arms of his peopl e by a horde of Janissaries ; %s ;at, may all Governments he placed in danger without their baring the right to stop these acts of violence? Can what takes place without inconvenience to Europe, among- the pirates of Afr;ca, also he accomplished among the French, without danger to social order? Must not as much precaution be taken against the morals and the Mainelolees of modern Egypt, as against the plague which comes to us from that country? Will the Sovereigns of Russia, of Germany, of England, of Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Sweden, and Denmark, consent to receive, by the law of example, the crown from the hands of their soldiers ? In- fine, are the nations who lI diet ish laws, peace, and liberty, determintid to - place these blessings under the protection of military despotism ?" • 111 .—REPROAdHES MADE TO THE ROYAL GO VEItINMENT. , _ . Under this head the reporter slims the reproaches con cerning lavish expenditure to be wholly groundless. The se questration of the effects belonging to BuonaparW:s family is justified not only by reasons of state, now but too evident, but also because that family had debts to the amount of several millions ; the bonds for which were in the treasury of the extraordinary domain. ' The diamonds were aetaally the pli cate property of the Bourbons; but, were things otherwise, it. was the King's duty to prevent them falling into the hands of a traitor, and his Majesty may rather he blamed for having left seventy-two millions in the treasury. The Bourbons are accused of having wished to lessen the glory of the army, and yet foreigners have accused the Emigrants of being proud of those very victories which hindered theca front re turning to their country. To the charge of despotism he asks whether Generals Erlon and Lailennuld would be still alive had they acted under thionaparte as they did uud, r the King. The reporter mentions as subjects of consolation, the nuwer ons persons of distinguished characters wh o are yet faithful, some quitting the country, others wholly withdrawing fialm public life. He highly extols the bold enterprise of the Duke d'Augouteme. " How many misfortunes," says he, "would our country have been spared if be could have reach ed Lyons." A soldier among the rebels, who saw hint in-the midst of•the fire, said in admiration of his valour, " half an honr longer, and we should have cried Fire he ILA." The vithor speaks in terms of great indignation respecting the af fair of Bemrdeaux, and observes, that it is enough to make BnonaParte's Goverment execrated, that he suffered the Duchess trAngouleme to be insulted and called a fl:r„fpious woman—when her virtues, her misfortunes, and her courage excited the admiration of the world. IV.--S1)111IT OF 'FHB GOVERNMENT._ The Reporter sbews the embarrassments of Buonapartc,•the collision of ,Parties, none of thcoi-strong enough to establish a separate authority, and bound together only as long as.t heir common interests require it, while Buonaparte flatters all by turns, and prepares-the grand manceuvre of the Champ de He deduces the inference that both the array and the people Will soon become sensible that they have beerl'equally - betrayed, that the strength of Litionaparte diminishes as that of the King increwies„ and that the latter will shortly return to this country, will carry back happiness with hint, a.i.vd that all his subjects. hhth innocent and guilty, wilt find their salvo tion by throwing themselte, into his arms or at his feet. )` But, Sire, while I am 4tsdeavourino to lay before your NA' Mat. FRENCH PAPERS. [RECEIVED THIS MORNING.] PARIS, MAY 28.-The canal for the inundation . of St Denis is going - on with activity. it is cal ciliated that by the 10th June all the works \kill be ready to be manned. At Vincennes, 460 pieces of cannon are preparing for them i and in the neighbonring forests they are hewing woot: for the pallisades. The works have become the fa vourite resort of the curious during their walks, who encourage the labourers ! ! ! • The fauxbourg St. Denis and St. Martin are united to the Federation of. the fauxbourg St. Antoine anei St. Marceau. Licut.-General Durricau is appointed Corn-, umndant of the battalion of the tiralleurs of the National Guard of Paris. 1 Fifty thousand muskets have been taken from tlie arsenal of Vincennes, which are about to he placed in a magazine for the Federates, which with 40,000 muskets of the National Guard,.foim the armament of all the National GuardS • of Paris. • Twenty companies of the Marine artillery have been sent from Brest, Rochfort, and other ports, to serve the artillery of Paris. This morning at seven o'clock the Emperor re viewed the 31st division of infantry, being the 3d of the 6t!► corps of the Army of the North. His Majesty expressed to these ,troops his satis faction at their good condition. He made the officers and subalterns .of the Bth light regiment form a ci:cle aroutp! Lim, when he told them that he was satisfied wi;►r their conduct at-I3ourdeanx, where amid the seductiOns Of a portico of the po pulation, and the presence of the Dnchess of An golderne and her court, tliq were not forgetful of the Emperor and their country. The Minister of War txing informed that the %vat- CO m liis•sioner at Saint Lo has.refuscd to give iirorisions and marching money to the detach.- fl ents of national guards destined for the forma- tioii of the chosen battalion, has ovilere(l - hirn to be siispentled- and.callcd to Ptiris to account fOr his conduct. MAy 6.—This frontier is the theatre of some military'movement4. Some more battalions have arrived. The approaching arrival of' kien. Castanos is anuottnced.—lt is possible that we may dare to undertake the most impolitic war in which we have for a long time been engaged, to please Gov allies beyond the sea. It is even said' that the Portuguese are about to send us auxili aries.. li.is-,:bowever, easy to sec that the nation is disturbed and that troubles arc ready to break out in different viarters. (Franz the Gazette, ale France) BERLIN, MAY. 3.—We hear that a silent fer mentation .prevails, in th -t part of, Poland which, according. to the = freaty , of Viruma, is to be annex ed to Prussia. The inhabitants of the district of Posen do, above ail others, express dissatisfaction. General Kleist is to be ;appointed to the corn man*of all the contingents in the North of Ger many. This corps, in the mean time, forms part of the army of the Ddlie of Wellingtman Belgium. (From the Journal de l' Empire.). Lrtch, MAY 15.—We haste') to publish the fol lowing news, which we have just received :-- News from Ghent, May 14. It appears certain that King Zonis,, after a ge neral confession, .heard by Pere Elys6e, has de cided that to prevent Misfortunes to France and Europe, by furnishing a pretext'for a terrible War in which torrents of blood must be shed, that he would renounce f ‘ ,.r himself and his descendants the Kingdoni of France and Navarre ! !
