[A variety of Military and Municipal appoint, meats in several of the departments of France, have also been made at the comijand of his Royal Highness Monsieur.] PrItTS, APRIL 23.—His Royal highness Mon sieur, attended by his illustrious son, the Duke o f Beni, reviews this day the 4th Legion of the Natiogal(inartls, in the grand court of the Thud leries. _ _ 11;s Majesty the Emperor of Austria spends a 'part of every forenoon in visiting the shops of the artists, the various monuments of the and, In short, every thing this great city affords in the way of interest (V curiosity. - This day his Imperial !Majesty will repair to Grois Blois, where her Imperial Highness the Archduchess Maria Louisa spends the evening.

This day he will be pre sented to his Royal 111ghness Monsieur, by the Duke de Maille he u•i4l be.honoured with a pri vate and particular audience.; at the same tittle ke presents the last dispatches from 'Monseigneor le Due D'Angouleme, and the Address of the Mu nicipality of Bourdeaux, NO ncEs OF BUON kPARTE. Not a syllable 'Procced•A really from the heart of /his man, on those occasions, when he uttered the language of sensibility one pf - these itt particular, he repeated somelines which lie got by rote from a play., We recollect the scene he play ed off, a few days : befOre his departure; before some Officers of the National Guard of Paris : his demeanour had an air of pathos, anti in fact drew sonic tears from a few of the spectators who were easily duped ; hut these which Buonaparte seemed to Shed were forced and affected.. After an An diEttss, delivered with somewhat of a pathetic air, he ye-entered his closet., and clapping one of his, confidants on the back, said to him—' l You have seen how I did them !" ThiS fact May be relied on; and will .serve asp trite illustratio'trof all the scenes he Played off While at.Fontainbleau. His last adieus may be r?garded as the fifth act of the precious melo-draio. Sonic of - the besotted spec tators. shed tears on the parterre, while he laughed in his sleeve at their miserable simplicity. FONTAINBLEAt7,• Arr,ic 20.—A1l those who were near and observant _of ,Buonaparte at the moment of his departure, have been struck at the want of sensibility and affection Which ht 3 maaifested to those about him. Not one trait of genuine ..emotion—not one word from the heart, marked him susceptible of the:least cordial feeling , or attacbtnent. It is thought, that be feared 'his loss would occasion little or no regret, as his few lingering atteudauts had abandoned hjin ; and on , the eve of his departure he had but one servant remaining. He received the adieus of his oldest companions, in arms without addressing a single word of cordiality or friendship; and the man, who played so many parts, was never able ti) ap pear the man of goodness. Buoitaparte , spoke a good deal latterly of his intention to engage in scientific studies. " After all," said he, " I shall be, to the last, a most extraordinary character ! I . hoe abdicated like the Emperor Charles V. and I shall indulge hereafter in literary pursuits." He then. spoke of such extraordinary projects, that the military men regarded him as one whose rea son was affected. 'lt is very certain that he al ways placed conficie%ce in the Ministers of Astro logy. For some successive days a feMale endea voured to get a private interview with him ; it is thought she meant to communicate some slow but subtle po - ison and at the same time to inform -him of his future destiny. We are ignorant whether she succeeded-in obtaining the interview, but she certainly remained four days at Fontain blean. Some years Since she - came from Egypt at the instance of Buonaparte. It was only in getting into his carriage that he shed sonic tears—not for the sake of those whom he had•quitted, but for himself alone ; 'hut this caused the uneasiness of no one, and it is matter of satisfaction that his conf:act entirely estranged from him so great a number of brave men, who were so long attached to his, fortunes, and who, perhaps, woull have remained devoted to hint, if so much-egotism and insensibility on his part had not alienated their hearts, MoNTARcrs, APRIL 23.—Btionaparte passed through this town on Wednesday, at four o'clock in the afternoon, in a carriage drawn by horses, with. about 25 horse soldiers foliowing. The Russian, Austrian, French, English, and Prussian Generals, and their immediate atten dants, occupied six other carriages, each drawn by six horses. These were followed by 2 . 0 car riages, containing the baggage and domestic at tendants of Buonaparte. Some draft and led horses, and picquets of cavalry, passed in .the morning. The foot soldids of this cantonment ,were under arms ; they-knew how' to respect the misfortunes of Buonaparte, and preserved a strict silence,' neither manifesting any sign of d;sap probation, or the reverse. Buonaparte passeA the front of those brave troops, and, on entering the town, affected an air of calmness, saluting on the right and on the left those persons' who ap peared at the windows from motives of curiosity. Numbers reproach him on the score of : the fact is, that few ,feel any interest about him. General Bertrand was in the same carriage, and appeared much more affected then his master. Buonaparte will sleep at the Chateau de Briare ; he makes short days journies, and pro ceeds next On the road to St. Tropex. FRAUD ON THE s,TOCK EXCHANGE. The London Grand Jury assembled yesterday morning, in pursuance of adjournment, for the purpose of receiving a Bill of Indictment, which they were informed would be preferred against the persons concerned in the late fraud on the Stock Exchange for a Conspiracy. 'At twelve o'clock Mr. LIME, the Solicitor for the prosecu tion, 'attended at the Indictment Of fi ce, in the Old Bailey, with the indictment, and the wit nesses in suppOrt of the several allegations it ctintained. - The names of the'persons - included in the indictment are, Charles Randont Ber renger, Sir Tiunnus; commonly gaited Lord Coch rane,., Andrew Cochrane - Johnstone,, Esq.

The post-boys who drove the mock French Oflicer to town were also present ; and to these were added a great number of male and female witnesses,. Jews as well as Christians.

EDITOR,---PUrStlal4 to thy promise in a letter from Dover, T sit down:topresent you with a " Journal of a Trip to Paris." CALAIS, 20th APRIL, 1,314,-7(Wednesday Having waited for the arrival of the Mails from London till near one o'clock, and seen the Dukes of LUIYEMBEIG and DURAs depart for Hartwell, I went on board the Lady Frances packet, Captain RUTTER, the first regular packet which has sailed for France from England .for• many year's. Pre vious to this, however, it'was necessary to at tend at the Custom-botise, where the baggage of every Traveller was examined and marked with chalk by the Officer, that it might be known to contain no contraband goods. This ceremony occupied 'about five minutes, and is rather un pleasapt, as it deranges th.c economy of packing, which is so necessary for the preservation of clothes, linen, &c, The Mail at length entered Dover with great ceremony, awl the spectacle from the Pier was very fine. The /romantic heights above the Town were crowded with Spectators looking down on the bustle below, and. the general 'exprOsion of joy at returning peace and " good times," aided by the effect of a beautiful day, created a delight ful' sensation. This was speedily interrupted by the embarkation of the passengers, and the hurry incident to 41tese weighty 'affairs which •ottach to persons setting out to see the world ! We at length sailed 'about two o'cloCk, in number about twenty of both sexes, with several carriages, 'and a rare assortment of trunks, )mndboxes, bags, and portmanteaus. A French vessel had sailed in the morning with the more impatient travellers, who mere in despair at, having been detained above three whole hours at Dover ! At six o'clock we were anchored iralf a mile from the :shore at Calais, the detention on the other side having thrown us nponlow water. As I write for the information, as Well as the amuse ment, of you and your readers,. I may stop here to say, that the accommodation on hoard these boats is excellent ; and though,on so short a passage one might put up with any inconveniences, I would strenuously recommend it to travellers, especially where there are Ladies of the. party, not to be se duced by the fallacious representations . respecting extra boats and pleasure yachts (so called as an example of lucos a on lueendo), to trust them selves out of the regular course. There are a thousand inconveniences attached to these expe dients, both in the passage and On landing, which it is needless to svoify. A six-oared boat from the shore soon came alongside, which was speedily filled with men and luggage, and 'pulled off for the shore. llere that novelty of scene commenced, which employs . , the mind, and gives a zest to the fatigues."and troubles . of travelling. HOGARTH himself could not caricature the grand - exhibition of a disem barkation of 117ilors Angluis at a French port.— Along- the beach, several hundred perso;ts, taco, women, and children, were seen running to the point towards which the boat rowed. It was a race of the most ludicrous kind ; but the scram . - ble which succeeded it beggars description. The sand shelves so gently that ,the boat could not approach the shore by about two hundred yards. Instantly it took the ground we were made ac (painted with the object of the racers. The whole number rushed with headlong speed into' the sea, and splashed through the waves, up to their middles, towards the boat. Hwy .was 'the French man, the French. woman, or the French boy, who reached it first. Every one seized some thing or another; one a trunk, a second a bas ket, a third a hamper, and so on, till the whole luggage disappeared from the boat, and took flight towards terra firma. But the most humorous part of the scene consisted in a similar disposal, of the passengers. We were all laid hold of vi et ar;nis, 'awe hoisted upon the back or into the arms of our busy and industo ions visitors. Little men were borne off like bablei—those more robust, and possessing more of the John Brill in bulk, were hoisted upon the shoolders of the bearers ; for, my part, .a sturdy fisherwoman, with a long paddle in her hand, took violent possession of my persott, which she disposed of as the Indian fe males do their children ; and thus the whole pat;ty rushed toWards the beach with as 'much rapidity as they had advanced. ft was - in vain that some struggled—all resistance to the new order of things was vain. • 'What with rain from above, and d i m plunging of our Porters below, we were all rendered as wet'as if we had been dragged, instead of being carried, through the waves. The Boat, men charged five franks (about 55.) for each per son ; the shore ,adventurers, two' franks for each load ; and as we were assailed at the same time by a dozen of Conductors to shew us the best Tuns, and do, our " draires " in , tlic grower of .
