Russia will remain at Baden till the cud of September, when she Avid go to Vienna:, PARIS, 29..—The Memorial of Marshal Davons, Prince of Eckmuhl, to the King, has appeared. It forms 11 pamphlet of 160 pages. 'lt begins in the following manner I lia‘:e . the honour to submit to your Majestil he detailed .exa , titillation of any conduct. _lt will-furnish a proof that I- never made any other than a legitimate use of the authority with which 1 was invested. I have not, Sire, abused the,power that was en trusted to me. None of' the acts of my govern. mem, in the 32d Military division can be consi dered as of Every thing I did was in con sequence of orders or decrers, the originals of which are in my possession; arid of which I sub mit copies to your Majesty. I might, in the high commands with which I was entrusted have injured the interests of individuals, but I never have, of my own accord, done an act which could bring odium upon the' French name. However, my country and the interests of the Army have al ways been my guides. A great responsibility was throWn upon me. I might have. thrown uppu Government the odium of those severities Which I was compelled to adopt, but. I remained silent . from duty and respect to the Sovereign autho rity, to which it . appeared to me that I 'owed that deference,2 Stich ,are . the principles which` I have always professed, , NeVertheless, Sire, I owe it to Prance, ,to the arrny,, and' to myself, to clear • myself trom 'inculpation, a name to which some glorious . recollectiorrs are atta'olied. I demand jus tice.; .1 demand, with eorifidence, that my conduct may be examined by such .of the Marshals as Four Al4esity pleaSed to 4esignate.. c' The. Minister of War has announced to time that yOur Majesty had received serious complaints , . iitiny'COnduct (hiring inY con - inland at namburgh, and . had ordered me - to answer to the chargeS which were brought - again St. me.. ‘.‘ The principal of thew,are That of hav ing ordered the cannon to fire upon the White Flag, after having certain information of the re establishment of the &itirbons.--!-2d, With hav ing carried, of the funds of the l)ault- of. Ham burgh.-3d,: With having committed arbitrary acts calculated to bring odium upon the French name." Alta' replying to the first charge, the Marshal proceeds thns•:--- " The charge of laving carried off the funds of the Bank, if considered without a reference to the necessity of the case, without reference to the forms which were observed in the seizure, or to the- . document's which show the:man ner in which the money so taken was ap"- plied, certainly'does . present an ,act of violence, tVhielr nothing 'can justify. But the impartial man, the enlightened judge, examines facts and weighs circumstances, and while he deplores . , the -calamities of - war, he sees only a necessary evil in the execution of.a great measure authorized by all the laws of war, justified by examyle, and found ed upon the. most imperious of all laws, that of necessity; This charge, Sire, as-far as relates to my private interests, cannot affect me; ,my cha racter is too well known in France, and in those countries into which the tate 'of war has car ried me, to enable my enemies, _even the most hitter of them, to excite any suspicions of Any morality!!! The charge then can only relate to the want of formality in time mode of seizure, or in the misapplication of the funds afterwards. In the month of Septem ber, 1813, the Count de Chabot', Superintendant of the Finances, apprized the of the difficulties which lie would hove to encounter in providing for the expellees of the month O f O cto b er an d t i le remainder of the year. On the 15th of that month he wrote to me again, shoving the ab so l ute ne -. cessity of my'' , providing fur the .last three months of 1813, ;And the first three of 181.1; ifir, be said ) that after the first of Oct. 1813, he would not promise me any thing, and Added, that. for provisions ) &c. he had :no ,funds whatever to foritish me with. Of the war contribution of fOrtyfeii.7,fit millions, there had only been paid I 0 millions, which had been sent to Dresden- for the-use of-the Grand Army. The 13th corps then. could not. derive. any thing from .that contribution, the collection of which had be , come almost impossible, from the fiiglit.of most of the inhabitants, upon whom the lagest contribu 7 tions were levied. wished them, in order to pro- 7 vhle against the wants to which I must be ex posed to make use of the powers which the 'iri peror bad given me, and, conformably to his order •of the 17. th June, 1 imposed an additional contri bution upon the three Departments of the 32d Military Division, but I soon learnt that it was wholly :unproductive, and our situation became every clay mire, difficult ; finally, the Col lectors of the Reveuties received orders to transmit all their funds to Wise!, and then •we were thrown entirely 'upon our o w n means. The Count tie. Chabot), who scot Inc at that time an account•of the state of the finances, added, „OWE he to longer knew bow to face the pub;ic'exPence ;—that lie had exhanited all • the resources, _that he had borrowed all the private fundi of the Customs and &oils rennis—t44 every set-vice was in orrear; and- that he could, not imagine' .how thingsOontinued s to go or' unless it were . by ;magic., replied . to M. Chabot), That the interest ot:tize Army. at. such a, moment, when we were separated front Vrance and front the. Emperor Napoleon, required prompt measures, and that, in such .a crisis, We shoul' be culpable if; in a city lifie'llambargh, tiie service .t. •: should suffer for Want of money, • when the Bank offered such great resources. The Decree of the 16th June, and the expla natory letter, had fixed the mode of paying the war contribution in. the following manner :- 30 millions in reatly• money, 'lO millions in bills of the City Of Hainburgh, and 10 millions in pro iisiont, clothes, &c. of every kind. Of the 30 millions in ready, 10 millions were to be sent to Dresden to pay the Grand Army, and twenty milliobs were to be payable at the Bank of ilawburgh, at. the rate of two millions a month, from- the Ist Oct: 1813, till the 10th Aug. 1814. (To be continued -to-morrow,) PARIS, JULY intelligence from St. Do, tningo of the 3d May we learn, that a Congress was held at Gonaives, at which Christophe,-King of Ilayti . ; Petion,.

Christophe Was vigorously fol lowing up his success, when he learned that the ' Cantons of Vallere, St. Suzanne, Gomez,d an, other placei, were in a state of instil tection against, him ; he was therefore compelled to desist from. his pursuit, and he scat his son, the Prince Royal, with all his cavalry, to act against the insurgents.. , , Such was the state, on the-27th May, of the 6tic but unfortunate colony of St. Mortingo._ . _ BREGENTZ, JUL:Y 7.—The solemn renunciation and delivery of the Voralberg to the . 1 - louse of Austria, has taken place this day, and the aritiorial ensigns- of Austria substituted evcry..where- for those. of Bavaria: _ . .

An ordinance of the General .Volice enjoins all the inhabitants of this city to water those parts of the public road before their• doors, twice a day, at teu and two o'clock, during the hot weather. The Duke of A ngouleme was expected to arrive at Toulouse on the 24th, where the preparations were making to receive him with all the honours due to his exalted rank: Another ordinance of his Majesty declares, that all the communes of the kingdom (with - the ex ception of.
