We call state from good authority, that the Duke DE BouEBoN is organizing La VentiL, where the utmost: enthusiasm prevails. Much may he hoped for from the father of the murder ed D'ExciEtti at the head of a loyal population, animated with true patriotism;-and directed against the assassin Emperor. The following Letter, derived from an intelliw gent Correspondent who has access to the best sources of information, throws very considerable doubts upon the accounts of yesterday, in so far as they affirmed that BUONAPARTE entered Paris tri►m:phantly on Monday afternoon, and that Louts the XVIII. had finally been determined to shape his course to England. The Mot mation. that his Majesty was 'on his way . to Lisle, is more consistent with the official document addressed to the Foreign Ambassadors at Paris in a subse quent column ; and the entrance into Paris at midnight squares better with"ihe assassin.charac ter of the Felon Corsican " DOVER, AlAiwa 23. " By the vessels arrived this day from Calais and Boulogne, the news we have is, that Louis XVIII. with his Suite, is gone from Abbeville to Lisle. Vast numbers of our countrymen have pursued the same route, which indeed appears to be the most secure way of retreating from France, and through Ostend the only likely way of en tering it from this Country with safety, as an Em bargo is every hour expected to take place on the opposite coast. The White Flag has been struck at Calais, though up to our last accounts no other had been hoisted. " In the course of the afternoon of Mondhy last about 2000 men, forming the Advanced Guard of IitroNAPARTE, and consisting of cavalry and infantry, marched through Paris, with the tri colour cockade, and Banners bearing the Inscrip tion " Liberty, Victory, and Peace!" they were received as might have been expected. About * midnight the Arch-tyrant entered with the rest of his troops, the Cockade Nationale was generally hohAed, and there were accramations. " After the 23,000 men, with which NEY went to encounter BUONAPARTE, had gone - over to the paat, the Marshal hastened to join, the KING, and is reported to have preceded him to Lisle, to lyhich point it was expected some movement would Le made by.the Allied Troop :3., in support of the Royal Cause. Some reports of the King of FRANCE having been nt Boulogne, it appears had their risc: from Col. FALKLAND, M. P., who was there to find a passage home, which he has very fortunately ef fected, being token for Louts. . " Ir would be well for our Government to have a good look out as to foreigners ; and, in spite of Mr. WurrattEko, to,enact i some more restrictive measures with relation to Aliens entering, depart ing, and residing- in this couritry. Already Buo- NAPArtTz's etnissAries are known to be on the alert." Upon the latter point our Readers will perceive *N I satisfaction, that Ministers have anticipated the recommendation of our Correspondent, as, indeed, every.thing Ice see•or hear c►►nvinces us, was a duty which detnanded their earliest atten tion, and now requires to he discharged with the utmost vi : , , ,ilance and activity. Traitors in the pay of BUONAPARTF, have, during our short-[iced Peace, been but too notorious and mischievous in their exertions in his bei:alf : thus, through such a medium as the Morning Chronicle, their poisons have been disseminated, %s bil e t h em _ ,c,el yes [Jaye been cherished as the onderh a nd informants of C,Lowrs and his friends, to point their'attacks against the Britibll Govern ment.

HIGH WATER AT LONDON• BRIDGE TO-MORROW. Morninz, 26 minutes after 2. I Evening, 45 minutes after 2. We have reccid Vienna Court Gazettes, and Austrian Observers to the Eleventh inclusive. They contain no news of political importance. The Empress of RUSSIA left Vienna on the 9th, on her way to Munich and Carlsruhe. She was accompanied by the Empress of AUSTRIA to Kam melbach. The Emperor of Russia escorted them 'Burgersdorff. The Empress of AUSTRIA re turned on the 10th. prieved from his deserved gallows a year ago, and sent into exile, has escaped from his insular prison, travel ed . ,500 miles through Fran - ce, been welcomed by a prcfligate army, overawed a depraved people, and overturned an, ancient throne, as if Nations ww•ere passi machines, and what was once a pro digy of st.rength,nothing beyond a shad Ow. We do not believe that the Traitor appeared so invaria- lily exposed' to personal danger as has been re preseuted in tliis country. It was- indeed indis pensible to his ~ .'use to seem fearless of peril, but his coward heart ever shrunk from real hazard, and be shelved hitn,c:f onwhere boldly, but where he was previonsly assured of safety. The rest of his pantomime tricks, as we find them narrated in a respectable Mom ring riper, ‘-,'e cannot help sus pecting to he penned by some partial friend, under the disguise of a Royalist—for such Instruments are common in these tunes, ;and the tone and co louring of the description is too warm to bedictated either by loyalty or truth. It is painful to suppose that even an individual can he entirely the slave of vice, and it would.be horrible to imaginer whole people India virtate redemplum.. The good liiNG of FRANCE is a great and memorable exception-in favour of that degraded Nation, which lu.s sunk beneath the terror of a Foreign Adventurer, sup ported by a comparatively weak association of armed banditti. Tile' people having failed to resist the Usurper and his myrmidons, no glorious descendant a CnAtmoTxE,CORDAY having rescued France from the infamy of a. second MARAT, it has been made a. question, though one easy of solution, how the otht - r powers of Europe ought to The - insidious - partizans of IhroNAPAnTF. will naturally endeavour now, as they have always'en deavoured to thwart any coalition against their Chief, to represent an exertion in favour of the Bouttsom, as interference with the internal Go vernment of the French Nation. To this we would reply, first, that it is not an interferenc e with the internal Government of the French Nation, but an aid to the mass of the peo ple, and property of that country to en able them to free themselves from an odious military despotism which they had not power to resist ; and secondly, that even did it bear the character assigned, .and did the unanimous French People rally round s BUONAPARTE' we maintain that it ,is not only ttie essential policy, but the unavoidable duty of the rest of Europe to unite in pulling down a system of Government which cannot co-exist with the independence or seem rity of any other State. The community of na tions is the same with private society. Who will live next door to a nest of thieves —who will be come the neighbour of robbers'aMl murderers ? If in a civilized state, governed according to law, we would apply for the protection of the law against such parties if they settled in our vici nity; we'would abate the dangerous nuisance if established where it could harm us—But, on the large scale of national intercourse, there is no mode of preserving the general welfare but by appealing to arms. Force must-be resorted to, and the Plunderers and Assassins who swell the power of the Corsican, must be exterminated for the security of mankind. act. It is Impossible for all the wiles' of devoted Faction so to delude us, as to beget a belief that this country can be prosperous or Europe' free, with such a man as BuoNAPARTE upon theTbrone of France, and such a military force as he has at his disposal.—lle has indeed_ avowed his, ob ject he , has reminded them of Madrid flow ing with the blood- of his victims, and of Moscow blazing with the fury of .his This is to inspire his Army with attachment to hitn—the individ ua li t y of xvhich'Army i s a • strange paradox, f or i t %void(' perplex its leader to cull out from it many of the component parts which be had brought back with him, either from Madrid or Mos cow. But what he did not save when he disgrace fullvsaved himself, lie has . acquired by his retreat to Elb a. T wo hund re d and fifty thousand. prisoneri, most to fear---it is rtalugees, the preteu.led of the Bovaßotis, who do most injury to their cause, and the cause of mankind which is ab solutely linked to their ascendancy in France, by either timid or traitorous communications to the better part of the public Prcs3, which front the reliance placed up-„1l it by the country, is a thousand times more efficacious in aiding the Tyrant by a few loose and ill-weighed Remarks, than a thousand factious diatribes in disloyal Prints, against whose machinations we are upon our guard, and whose i•i;litinous purposes are only viewed with disgust and horror. So much do the late Events which have agi tated us appear like a Dream, that we could al most become converts'to the doctrine of Mate-- rialis . m, anti believe that the World and all its busy Actors were merely brute clay.

T . lten, in- deed, the retnembra.ocie of ;Madrid and :Moscow, awl of Dresden, Leipsig',, and Paris ,too would be dreadful in its effect: : then ‘vould the infuriate Usurper roll back the tide Of dt.solation : and, t Aught wisdom too late, the Monarchs and people of littrOpe tr ould mourn in misery and 'blood, that they had failed to seize the golden moment of incipient revolution to arrest the Traitor's course, arid hurl the Upstart from his throne, As the spirits of the Faction rise with the for tunes of their ancient favourite BUONAPARTE, it is odd to obierve how their organ; the Talents' Chronicle, falls into its old tone. We have not been favoured with any of its patriotic ebullitions in the shape of Queries ever since the Usurper was banished to Elba—it was so completely down in the mouth, that it has been devoid of jocularity, and even the cross-questioning was abandoned, though probably only because Mr. WHITBREAD engrossed that department in,his place in Parlia ment, and not from any dislike to so excellent a species of political logic, which goes for nothing, right or wrong.—The following is this morning's specimen of the labouts of this worthy News paper in its-laudable vocation—the drift is sulfi- . eiently obvious " QUERIES.

Why does the l earne d Q„ e .. rist ask about what he knows, or rather asserts, to be infractions'? Oh ! the learned Querist cannot bide his Jacobinical hoof I A brief Extract frOm his queries about Dec. 1810, will amuse our Readers —and as a neat ap pendix to the above, we shall reprint them to,. morron% Yesterday all the British Officers belonging to the Commissariat of the army in Belgium .b ad or ders to proceed without a. moments delay, to join the corps ,to which they were respectively at tached. It is understood, in the best infornieil circles-, that M. Pozzo Dt I3oßoo, the Ambassador from Russia to France, and rho arrived in Paris on Sunday last, was sent on a special mission, to persuade the French Tiling to leave his Capital in the critical posture of affairs, but not to quit the Continent. This Gentleman; though a Corsican by birth, is s man of sound integrity and high talents. '/here can be no doubt that Russia will take a prompt, active, and decisive part in the at tempt to effect the downfal of the Tyrant of France. We are also assured, that the senti ments, and indeed, conviction, of some distin guished foreigners now in this Metropolis is,lhat the Emperor of RUSSIA, in conjunction with the Alli es , will be at the Gates of Paris within six months from the present period. We hail the following in the Times as being not only,excellent in itself, but the most grateful re turn that could have been wade to our appeal of yesterday; There is not a line nor a sentiment in it which we do not most cordially approve : The French Marshals are believed to be gonerally faithful to their oaths and their honour, and resa;t•ed to support their King and Free Constitution. The War Minister, the Duke of Feltre, is arrived in this country to concert measures for the campaign ; and the Only question now is, how we can best and soonest anticipate the deadly blows of the usurping assas „in.
