" SOLDIERS !---Your perseverance and bravery have delivered the Freneb nation, oppressed by a Tyrant who acted only for himself, and who for.- gat what he owed' to an esteemed and generous people.

The body of market-women, according to an cient custom, this morning presented themselves at the hotel of the Prince. of Benevento, and solicited the honour of presenting a nosegay to the Emperor, Alexander. That Prince was gone out ; he was traversi.ng out horseback the different quarters of the capital, everywhere receiving the benedictions • of an immense population, who flocked around his coarae. On his return, his Majesty conde sc:endtd to receive the homage of the market-Wo men, and accepted their nosegay with the most graceful and touching affability ; in the intoxica tion of their joy and happiness, they made; the air resound with prolonged shouts of ' Long live the Ureat Alexander ! Long live the Allied . S o- vereigns . Long live Louis !" Long live tlae Bourbons'!" A•great number of young men, bptli.on foot and on liorebac: , :, with cockadet‘inrAheir hats, and _bearing White flags, had yesterday the h - no,nr of being activated to an audience of the King of Vrussia.
