FORtIGN INTELLIGENCE. PrztNcil. PAPTO",t trZECEIVED MohNING.] freet2 111o ! titegys of the 14th and 16(A lfay.) Pitcsouns, MAY s.—Our troops continue to pass the Rhine. o u tie 25th April the Arehdol(e Charles visited the Princes of Nassau, and returned to iNieutz on the 27th. As yet there is Only a small number of Aut. trian troops along the Rhioe, to the environs of Carlsruhe. But it is said that a corps (Parolee is to be stationed behind the Black Forest, on the borders of Switzerland. Many persons believe that these troops will traverse Switzerland as they did in December 1813, but others say that, this is rot thought of. The troops of the corps d'armee, commanded by the Prince Royal of Wirtemberg, is to be on the left hank of . the Rhine, in the department of Mont-Tonnere. A patent has been published under the autho rity of Congress, conferring the title of Grand. Duke on the Duke of Saxe Weimar, who, it said, is to obtain possession of the principality of rulda, in virtue of another decision of Congress. It is unknown whether the Duke of Meeklen. Lurg-Schwerin will accept the title of Grand Duke, PARTS, MAY 14.---To-day (Sunday) the 'Empe ror surrounded by his Princes, Ministers, and Of facers of State, received before Mass at the Thuil leries, the Deputation of the Electoral College, of the Departnient of the. Seine and Oise ; of which the Duke of Plaisance (Le Brun) is the president. The Duke presented an address which wa- graciously received and replied to. The Em peror afterwards received many other deputations. The Moniteur of this date contains au Imperial Decree, dated the 11th May, abolishing the In spectors of 6te Book Trade, and substituting new specialCounnissioners to fulfil their duties; three at Paris, and one at each of the following places t Strasburg—Lyoils—Aviguon—Tholouse-13our &aux and Lille. The Moniteur of the 14th, contains no article of interest, excepting a long note respecting the letters introduced by Lord Castlereagh, during the debate respecting Murat, on the Ist inst. , This note is as follows : NoTE.—,All the Papers quoted by Lord Castle. teagh, and those of the same nature which he has collected in the documents submitted to Parlia ment, are falsified. These fabrications are so otlious,—we aught even to say so impudent—that we cannot conceive that am) , Minister can have bad rerourse to them for the purpose of justifying Lis conduct. We are unwilling to heliCve that Lord Castlereagh can have made use of them, knowing that they were false. It :mist then be thought, that he has been entirely the dupe of an intrigue. But what can be said of a Minister so easily imposed upon in matters so grave! - The first letter cited by Lord Castlereagh bears date, as he says, from Nangis, the 17 th February, and was written by the Emperor to the Queen of • Naples ; according to him, this letter commenced with these words " Your husband is very brave on the field of battle, but is weaker than a woman or monk, when he is not in the presence of an enemy. Ile has no moral courage," 'These words are verbatim (textuelleinent) in a letter, of . which a minute is at this moment be. fore our eyes, which was certainly written by the Emperor to the Queen of Naples, front Fontaine , Veau, the 24th January, 1813. The Emperor had just then arrived from the Itussian campaign, anti had left the King of Na ples at the head cf the army; this letter also commences with these words, which care was taken to suppress---" The King quitted the army on the 16th. Your husband is a very brave Lean," &c. &c. Only•the passage that we first quoted is preserved, and to make this letter, (which related solely to matters then passing), accord with the date of Nangis, and to establish by this rem, kahle falsehood the consequences that have beeri.deduced from it against the pro. ceelliogs of the Kt,l of Naples with regard to the Allies, there was substituted, as _the remainder 0 1 1 the contents, all those passages that we have marked in the falsified letter produced by Lord Castlereagh. The •weond letter is addressed by the Emperor 1 . 1 th King of Naples. No date was, given to it, htit to supply that omission, Lord Castlereagh supposes that what is tallied of in that letter is the success obtained by the Emperor on the 10th an d 11th, which would ag - ree %rid) the butles fought in Champagne on the 10th and 11th Mardi, 1814. The letter, as quoted by Lord Castlereagh, begins with the'ie words, "I shall say nothing of my izlissatisfacon At yoirr bitnA•trct„" &c. tzc. VVe Lave before us the mint te of et lettor from the tipper/it to the king- of Naples; czt.'ttcl at Von'- tainblean, the 2fith of :ranuary, 1313-, beginning thus, " I shall say nothing of my dissatitlaetiop at the course of conduct, which you have pursued since I left the army." The last part of 'the sm. tence, Which would have marked the date, is omitted, and there has been substituted as the re mainder of the letter, and which relate/4 to Cir cumstances which followed the departure of the Emperor after the campaign in Russia, the pas sages which We have marked, and which tend to the aim of the falsifiers. Lord Castlereagh did not quote in his speech, but he distributed to Parliament another letter from the Emperor to the King of Naples. This printed copy has received the date of the 7th March, and as there is contained in it details which can only relate to 1814, the date intended to be given to this letter is 7th March 181 , 4. In this letter we read these words, " you are surrounded by people who hate France and seek to ruin you. I have given you many warnings. All that you write to me is at variance with your deeds, &c." AVe have still before us the minute of another let ter from the Emperor to the Kitig of Naples ; but it is dated at Compeigne, 30th August R>ll ; and in it we find literally the passage which we have quoted. It is, therefore, this letter which has been falsified. None other of the expressions have been presented to enable us to recognise the true. letter. Now, bow could it have been said in 1811, as is printed in this letter, " i shall see by your conduct at Ancona if your heart be sill! French. Continue to correspond with the Vice- Roy, taking care that your letters be not inter cepted." The original minutes of these letters are in our hands. The original autographes can be no where hut at Naples, and they will confirm our asser tions, for, no doubt, they will be published. What then are the Papers on which Lord Cas , tlereagh has caused the documents to be printed, which he has published ? What seal of authority is affixed to them ? It lies with him to prove that they are true ; and it would not belong to us to prove that they are false. However, we shall fur nish the proof. Ve are authorised to declare that there will be shown to all Englishmen of distinction who are at Naples, and who will ask to see them Ist, The original Minutes of the Emperor's Letters; 2d, The Minutes of the same Letter's, falsified, sand written In the hand of the Abbe Fleuriel, who for 19 years has exe cuted the functions of Secretary in the Cabinet of the Count de Lille and of the Count de Blacas. There would also be communicated the.minute of a letter written by Count Blacas to Lord Cas tlereagh, March 4, 1815, if Lord Castle'Tagil had not kept the . original. It contains these very words—" I have since likewise found in another bundle three minutes of letters written by Napo leon, one of which has no date. I have the No nour.to send you copies of them, and they are not the least interesting pieces which have been dis covered among the immense mass of papers which it was necessary to search through." These copies are evidently those of the three letters which we have mentioned, two of which bear dates, prove to be false, ant/ the other en tirely wanting a date. We perfectly know, then, that it was on the 4th March, 1815, that the pretended copies of these three letters were sent to Lord Castlereagh. There shall also be communi cate d an or i gina l letter, front a person whose testimony Lord Castle reagh will not dispute. This letter was written on the 4th January, 1815, to Count Blacas, by Lord Wellington. We shall print itat the end of this note. We have a right to deduce from it the following facts, which no one can contest. The Government of Count Lille had committed to the English Ambassadorthe papers which were found at his disposal, and which concerned the King of Naples ; but then they had not falsified thenvand Lord Wellington deduced the only con sequences from them which the real Papers could present—" I return the Papers, which I have read; they contain no proof against Murat." Such an authority leaves us nothing further to say. Lord Wellington attests that the Papers which we quote are accurate, because they con tain none of the proofs sought for against the King of Naples, and that thOse which have been produced by Lord Castlereagh to Parliament are false, since they strongly inculpate the King of Naples in his conduct towards the Allies ; no one can refuse this testimony. What then happened in the interval between the 4th January and the 4th March, 1813 ? (1815, we suppose.) , Count Lille, who never ceased to in sist, at the Congress of Vienna, that the Bourbon branch of Sicily should remount the Th►ronc of _...„.._ Naples, saw that the Powers who had contracted Treaties with the Kiag of Naples resisted or he- rt Wa ticcestgryto Intlt'nerlis ; ZO 67f.r.- torrro, their tri-upk.s i tthil tit kistiy thtt Whieli *at, v*pected frbth tht Navlet a;:terior t'iOfttiont ; tht:Ca binet of Cot Lille, in which Wt are certain that 'fabrication WaS studied to serve the pas'LiOus of that Go'vernitient br falsities of all I;'lnds; com posed the false correspondence in questhin, and which Lard Castlereagh presented to the Parlia ment of England as the. basis of the deternainaiioo whence peace or war is to result. The Royal-falsiticators did not suppoSe that the archives which they made their depositaries, would become again Imperial archives ; that Count Nacas in a precipitate flight would abandon those of his Master and his most secret papers, and would thus give the means of bringing into open day, not only the base intrigue which we this d.ay develope, but as many others that have occupied as much time, and held so great a place iu a reign of a few months.

They contain no proof against Murat ; they only skew that he espoused a side against his will ,(a regret) ; that he every day felt it more and more ; that he talk ed loudly of his intentions not to hurt Napoleon, &c. &c. But these letters in general, ,especially that of Clarke, tend to prove that be was in a state of actual hostility against Prance ; and this was what be ought to have been. - " Your very faithful and sincere .6 WELLINGTON. " To his Excellency Count de Tilacas d'Aulps." (Fruni the Journal de Paris of 14th and 15th) PARIS, MAY 15 .--At Lyons four persons have been arrested by order of Count Maiet. They were convicted Of having distributed proclama tions of Count Lille and the Allies. As soon as the official news of the Emperor's entrance into Paris reached Elba, the Elbese flag was taken down, and replaced by the tri-coloured. The correspondence between Porto Ferrajo and France, which was so long interrupted, has been lately resumed.

PARIS, MAY 14.—We are informed that a tele graphic dispatch was received yesterday evening, which announced the passage of an Austrian Cou rier by Strasburgh. The fauxbourgs of St. Martin, and of the Tem ple, have requested to join the Confederation formed by those of St: Antoine and St. Marceau. Some thirty armed brigands entered St. Brice, and attempted to disarm the gendarmerie of that city. The chasseurs quartered in the environs pu'rsued them : many Were killed, and the rest saved themselves by flight. Extract of a private Leiter from Rennes, May ti Our little troubles ut&appily continue, We have had a broil in the arrondisstment of Foil- Ores. Two voltigeurs were killed, and a post disarmed. The next day, the corps stationed this part of the country took its revenge, and killed four or five insurgents." (Of the 14th-,tray.) This Paper contains an exaggerated account of the disarming of the Saxon Grenadiers at Namur, which was done without a struggle: It pretends that there was a warm contest half a league from the place, and that the Saxons were ovc.rpoWered by 10,000 Prussians, and only surrendered to avoid being massacred ! !
