A Dispatch, of which the following is an Extract, has been this (14. y received from Lord Viscuunt CASTLEREAGH, ad dressed to Earl BATIIIU ns•e. Paris, April 15, 1814. I have the honour to acquaint your Lordship, that Monsieur Made his public entry yesterday, and was received with the : titmosTcordiality by the whole population of Paris. It ivas deemed more expedient . that the solemnity should be purely French ; the Allied Sovereigns did not therefore . attend, nor dialany of their troops join the c9r t-dge ; but -as the Bourbon family had been so long resident in England,. I thought 1 should .neither iudur the displeasure of the Prince Re gent, nor . give occasion to any injurious com ment, by meeting his Royal Highness at the har rier, and accompanying him into Paris. The whole of the British missions here present attend 7 ed, and, with the .Field Marshals of the Empire, were close to his 'person, whilst .he traversed the town a,initht , the applause of the people. • Forei , ..n o /tee , , 4pril 14, )BM. a .1 • A IThpatch, 'Whitt' the following isa Copy, has' been this day ret , , , ivo from the Right Hon.

Loan,-- 7 0n the 28th instant, a courier ar riVed- from Catalonia, with a letter from King Ferdinand the Vllth to the 'Regency, containing the gratifying intelligence of his arrival at Gerona in perfect health on the 24th instant. His Ma jesty concludt- his letter by expressing his•satis faction at finding hitt:self restored to his country, and surrounded by a people, and by an army, trhose fidelity towards him has been equally ge nerous and persevering: No words can convey a just impression of the joy and enthusiasm with which this intelligence was received at MadrA. The feeling manifested by the inhabitants of the capital (Ton this occa sion, affords a most satisfactory testimony of their unshaken loyalty and attachment to their legiti mate Sovereign The same courier brought from Gen. Capons, the ComMar.'der-in-Chiet of Catalonia, a letter; ip which he states, 'that having learnt t ha t the King was to be at Perpignan on the 20th inst. and to continue his journey to Gerona, by the route of Figueras, he had proceeded to Bascara, upon the banks of the river Envie, in order to make thenecessary preparations for his Majesty's reception ;- that on the 24th the sing presented hiniself on the left bank of the river Flu'ia, es corted by Marshal Suchet and a detachment of French troops ; that the French troops having . baited, and his Majesty having crossed the river with his suite, composed of Spaniards only, Gen. Copons advanced with his troops to receive the King, and attended him to Gerona. It appears that the King was accompanied by his uncle the Infant Don Antonio, but. thtit his brother, the Infant Don Carlos, had remained At Fiperas, on . •account of indisposition ; he was, lowing day.. beg to offer to yourLoraship my most cordial congratulations ,upon an event which secures one of the . prinCipal objects for which we are con-: tending, by the restoration of the legitimate Sove . - reign to the throne of 'Spain. And it cannot 'but be gratifying to the British nation to reflect, that this is not less due to its unexampled exertions, and to the valour and good conduct of its armies, th•in to the firmness, persevet ance, and loyalty of the Span s% neople.

Dispatches, of which the following are Extracts, have been received at Earl BArtruas - r's Office, addressed to his Lord ship by Field-Marshal the Marquess of WLIMITONI. Samatan, March 25, 1814. The enemy continued his - retreat after the affair near Tarbes, on the 20th, during the night and following days, and arrived yesterday at Toulouse. Their troops hare marched with such Celerity, that, excepting the advanced guard of the Cavalry attaehed co Lieutenant-General Sirßowland II corps, under Major-General Fane, who attacked the eueiny' rear-guard at St. Gaudens, our troops have never been ahle•to come up with them. I enclose Major-Gencal Panes report . to Lieu tenant-General Sir Rowland Hill of this affair, whitlk is itighly. creditable to the 13th light dra goons. . • Borde, 9 P. M. March 22. ad, need as ordered, I came up with the enemy's tearquazd, about one league fronrSt. Gaudens. it was supported .by four or five squadrons or dragneos, formed upon the height in front of the town. With two squadrons of the 13th light dra gooriS, supported by part of the 31 dragoon guards, I drove in their advance, and their support hav ing remained too long in front of St., Gaudens, the 13th dragoons were enabled to come up With it. They charged the enemy's squadrons with the greatest gallantry, and drove them thFougib the town. The enemy having again formed ber youk the town, they were again attacked, and pursued 11101 t t h an two mites. A untriber of the enemy have been killed, and. 302 teen,, and about the.sainenunther of horses, taken. Thirty of the men arc badly wounded. . Captain APMister, who led the advance, much distinguished himself, and nothing could exceed the bravery. and good conduct-of the whole of the r e giment._ I had reason to be 'much sati,•fied with the conduct of Brigade :Major Dunbar, .who was. amongst the foremost iu the attaelc • loss has been .very trifling ; hope not, .more than four or ,five wounded. • 1 have the honour to he, &c.

The great fall of .rain in the course of the. last and the beginning of this week, and the melthtg . of the snow in the mountains, have increased the. river such a degree, .otul render the current so rapid, as to frustrate all our endeavours to lay our bridge below the town.-,-According to tny last .act• counts from Boiirdeaux of the `l6th, hislgajesty's ships had not. yet•entered the ritter.—Nothing of importance occurred lately in Catalonia. SPANISH PAPERS. MAmttp, - MA.vctt .26.—One of the most Won derful events of put history is at last accomplished —the liberation of our beloved Ferdinand, who is now in Gerona, among his loyal subjects. What an ample field for gratifying reflection is thus af forded ! At five o'clock this afternoon an extraordinary courier arrirkd. Froni the reports previously cir culated, it was instantly conjectured that he hi-Ought accounts the arrival of . out' King ; crowds of people,instantly assembled to learn the intelligence ; and no sooner was it announced than the air resounded with a thousand viva's, which -were propagated through the whole city ; and in a few minutes all Madrid was acquainted with this most interesting and desired event. Tie whole popnlation was collected in the streets, and joy ,and congratulatiog were depicted on, every • vountenance: _ _ At night there was a general illumination, during which the enthusiasm, of, the people was peculiarly conspiendus. Ile principal Streets were almost impassable, from' the crowds , with which they were filletl':•contintied . vivqsresonndrl on all sides ; flags and permahts were every where displayed from windows and balconies ; various grOupes bearing, torches, and 'accompanied, with music, traversed' the streets ; in short; all was jubilee, of which, it would be pOssible to form an idea, only by comparing it with 'that of the me morable 19th 'of March, 1808: If then were beard continual shouts of vit'4t • Fernando—perish Godoi ! so now resounded cries.of viva l'ernanda Confusion, to the Frenchiged I-Scenes of this however, cannot be described -; they can only be . felt. MADRID, MAscrf 30.—In' the Extraordinary . Sitting of'the Cortes on the 281 h, ,when the ar rival of Ferdinand was announced to that body, the foLloWing letter of his Majesty to the Ile geucy, written in Spanish with his own hand, was also read " GuaoNA, MAncit 24, 1814.—1 have just ar rived here, thank Heaven, in perfect health ; and Gen. Copons has this moment delivered to me the Metter of the Regency, and the documents with which it is accompanied. I will make myself ac quainted with the whole of their contents, having to assure the Reg . ency that I have nothing so much at heart as to give them proofs of my satis faction, and of my anxious wish to do every thing that may conduce to the welfare of my subjects. 4‘ It is a great consolation' for ote_to seemyself on my own territory,, and altiTilst a nation aillt ails army to Whom I ant indebted for a fidelity as ctirt staut as generous. (sio e c E _ [Then follows the'letter of General Copons to the Spanish Government, the substance of ‘virich is given in Sir IL Wellesley's dispatch.] The Secretary at War then acquainted the Cortes, by order of the Regency; that ther_latter were anxious to inform the Cov:gress of the. fol lowing circumstance :—General Suchet wished to stipulate with 'Gen_eral Corms, that the posses sion of - the person of the King should serve as a pna-rantee for the delivering up to Suchet of . the French garrisons of the fortresses 'of which ikve are not vet in possession, as well :.,V; those of Le rida, Alonzo!), and Mequinenza. Such a prOpo- Sitloll was insidious, as the enemy, thus reinforced with ?0,000 men, might have proved an over inatch for Lord Wellington, and the spreading_ of the insurrection in favour of Louis XVIII. in the southern departments of France, might have been impeded. General Copons,- however, managed this matter with great dexterity, succeeding in obtaining the person of our beloved Monarch without acceding to Sachet's deinand. - The Whole of this information was received with great ap plause, and the thanks of the Cortes were, voted to General Copons. On the morning of yesterday the body guards marched out to attend Ferdinand VII. who is ex pected by the road of Valentia. Soon after the Cardinal de Pourbon, President of the Regency, and Senor Luyando, Minister of State, set out to meet his Majesty. This day a solettm service for the arrival of the King was performed in the church of Sta. Maria, .at ,which the Cortes and the Regency• Were pre sent. Having assembled in the Hall of the Con gress, they proceedid in procession from thence to the church, amidst a numerous concourse, the streets being lined with troops, and accompanied by various Grandees and Generals, with.-their Ex cellencies the English Ambassador and, the Aus trian and Portuguese E'uvoys.' All the balconies of the streets through which they passed were hung with tapestry, and the solemnity excited the highest gratification in the affluence of people who filled the weet. BILBoa, MAncit 26.—This day the fortress of Santona capitulated, on condition of the French part of the garrison being permitted to return to France ; the Germans and other foreignera are allowed to return to their homes.. PASSAGE, AFRIL 6.—Affairs 'proceed very pros peronsly on this side. Whilst Lord Dalhousie occupies BoUrdeaux, Lord Wellington •is pursn ing the . remains of Sixth's army to the, gates of Toulouse, wit h it is supposed, the immediate view of cutting off Suchet, if he has joined, or prevent ing the junction, if it has not taken place. The recruiting for the Bourbons goes on ; we understand that there are embodied at Buttrdeaux, and in its neighbourhood,. from live to six thou sand men. The Corres de Vittoria, of 29th March, contains the following article tc There can be uo doubt, but that the majority of the French natkm are not in favdur of. Btiona. parte. • All that part of .the South of Fr'*n& Which is pccupied by the Allied Armies, displayai these laudable inclinations. But the immortal Lo'riii who, by his polky, would be capable o . cievolu tionising all France, :and still more c . apfil;le of. supporting that revolution, by the force which' be commands, acts for, e onee against his own senti ments, in order to accommodate himself to the policy; of the Allies in the North. Hence it is that in Bourdeaux itself, people's minds were thing distres - Wed on their see ing p ar t of th e AlHod . 'troops that had entered that city depart to join the • army, believing that they should remain aban doned to. their fate, hilt have doubtless recovered, themselves, if it be true, what is affirmed for cer tain, that fresh' troops bare lailded in that port, which are said to be those that werein Holland under Sir Thomas Graham, and, to amount to 15 . or 20,000 men. " The third army, which was cantonal at Tit dek, in Navarre, and the neighbourhood; has re ceived orders to march, 'and. is already in Pam plona. Probably it will advance into France ; it is generally believed that reserve of Andalusia . will. be joined with this array, which, when united, will he commanded by Count -Abishal. The works against the citadel of Bayonne are vi gorously prosecuted." DUTCH MAIL. WILLIAMSTADT, A PRIL 12.—After having been, as it were, cut off from the world for four months, our unfortunate neighbours see the near end of all their sufferings. The garrisons of Bergen-op- Zoom and Antwerp, on hearing the fust news of the great events at Paris, ceased all hostilities against the Allies, and hoisted the White Cockade with cries of Five toi‘is XVIII. Already the gates of these two important places are- open. to whoever chuses to enter them or to go "out. This news, which has been brought to-day to the English Commandant of this place, is the more -aoreeable, RS the Ames were resolved to at-s tack both these two towns and Fort Batz with' . vigimr, and thus the lives of - many brave men are spared. - It is also affirmed, that the Cockade has been displayed for 'these two days on.the towers and ramparts. of Flushing, nhd that the French troops 'there and in the whole island of Walcheren wait -only for 'orders from their Goverment to give up the whole island to the ,Duteh.. , .

LEGHORIti, MARCH la.-Lord Bentinck, who, came from .Naples.by land-, and arrived t Wo - "days after the first division of the English army,, has published the following. Declaration " Frauar:s !—Great Britain has landed her troops oil your cuasts ; she holds out her hand to you in order to ueliver you from the iron yoke of Buonaparte.—Portitgal, Spain, Sicily, and Holland, attest the generous and disinterested principles which animate her. Spain, by its firmness - and its bravery, and the asaistance of its Allies, has accomplished the noblest enterprize— , the French are driven from its territory, its inde pendence is secured, its civil liberty - restored.—Sicily, by the support of the same Power, has been preserved front the general deluge, and has suffered nothing. By the generous sentiments of its Prince, it has risen from slavery to liberty, and aspires to - resume its ancient lustre among independent nations. Holland aims at the same ob ject. Shall, then, Italy alone remain under the Yoke ? shall Italians, alone, fight against Italians for the advantage of a Tyrant, and to confirm the slavery of their country? Italians! delay ao longer; and you in particular, Italian Army, reflect that the greatest interest of y our country i s already in your hands.
