MAYOICS OFFICE OF THE CITY OF BOURDEAUX, The Mayor of Bourdeaux to his Fellow-citizens " INHABITANTS OF BOURDEAUX r°' 'The paternal Magistr . ate of your City has been summoned, by circumstances the most for tunate, to be the interpreter of your long-sup 'pressed wishes, and the organ of your feelings, in - order to welcome, 'in your name, the Nephew, the Son-:in-Law of Louis XVI. whose presence converts into allies, irritated nations, who, al most to' your gates, bore the names of enernjes. " Already, people of Bourdeaux, proclamations multiplied by your impatient pens, amidst the sub servience of the press, 'have re-assured you as to the intentions. of our King, and the plans of his Allies. " It is not to subject your provinces to a fo reign yoke that the English, the Spaniards, the Portuguese appear, there. They have assembled in the South, as the people of other countries have done in , the North .) , to destroy the scourge of nations, and replace him by a Monarch, the father of his people. It is through him only that . we can appease the resentment of a neighbouring nation,, against which we were precipitated by the most perfidious despotism, If thad not been convinced that the presence of, the Bourbons, conducted by their generoui Allies, must put a period to your calamities, still J should not have deserted your city; but should liave bent my head in silence under a temporary' yoke: Never should I have been seen to wave that colour which presages a piure government, bad I not been assured that all classes of citizens would enjoy tnost blessings which the progress of the, human mhAl promised, to cur age. "The bawls of the , Bourbons' are free from French blood. With the testament of Louis XVI. in their hands, they forget all resentment ; every where they proclaim, and tilcy prove, that toler ance is the first wish of their souls. Aware that the - ministers of a religion different from that ;which they profess have Ihmeated the fate of Kings and Pons ifs, they promise equal protection to .every Kith which invokes a God of Peace and re;.- condi;lati.on. " It is in cieplor;og the horrible ravages of ty ranny, engendered by licentiousness, that they for get the errors caused by the illusions' of liberty. Far fro . rn wishing, them - to, fall on those who, with an ardour too severely punished, pursued its vain phantom, they come to restore that true liberty, which leaves at once.the People. and the Monarch Without distrust. • Every liberal institution shall be maintaitled. Alarmed at the . facility of the French in votibgiuTosts, the pillars of despotism, the Prince 'trill be the first to devise, with y our representatives, the most legal mode of taxation, the most equitable distribution, in Order that the people may not be overwheimed.' " Those brief and consoling words which the husband of the daughter of Louis XVI. has just. addressed to you—" No more tyrants ! —No wore !—No- more conscriptions !—No more stsl", bare already clitrtd !;61! familie4.

Your harvests 'shall cease to be ruinous ; the colonies, too long separated from the mother country, shall be restored to you; the sca, - tvhich had become well nigh usekss to you, is aboiii to.. bring back friendly flags into your port. The laborious artisan will no. longer lie idle ; and the mariner, restored to his noble pro fession, is. about to navigate the seas anew, to 'purchase repose for his old age, and to bequeath his esprience to his sons. " The liusband Of . the daughter of Louis XVI. is within your Is : he himself - will soon com municate to you the expression of the sentiments which animate him, and of those of thellNkonarch Whose representative and interpreter he is. .

But -each of us-must concur thereto with as. much of order as ardoue. Amsterdam did not wait tor the presence of her deliverers to declare herself, and re-establish the old government, the only one capable of restor ing her commerce and her prosperity ;`it was .to the patriotism of merchants that the Stadtholder owed his re-establishment, and , the . prompt crda. tion of the army which defends the liberty of Holland.

The Emperor of Russia and King of Prussia were with the column which was marching from Arces-sur-Aube upon Villenexe. This column was very near being cut off, on the approach of the French army, de bouching from Epernay by Fere ,Champenaise. The Emperor of Russia retreated with .all haste. upon Troyes, whence the head-quarters of the mperors are returned to Bar-sur - -Auhe.

The 10,000 men from the Duke of Albufera, and the column which has debouched upon Pied= mont, are arrived at Lyons. These reinforce= ments, and others which have joined-the Duke of Castiglione; have put it in a very formidable con dition to act against the enemy. Regiments of troops of different arms-continue to pass through Paris, and take their route to-the Grand Army. Battalions of the Nation a l G uar d s of the Departments al so repair to this city. Those of the Department of . the Orue arrived here yes. terday at noon. NAYON, llaacnl7.—We are still in the hands of the enemy's troops. It is difficult to describe the vexations to which all our inhabitants, "Oiith , out exception, are exposed. However, we sub. mit to all the demands and all the requisitions that the enemy makes. The houses in . the suburbs have been wholly stript. • - MEA.ux, MARca 18.—Colonel Simon, COM- warding the first free corps,of Paris, having re ceived orders to clear all the country:it the envi roes of Meaux as. far as,Sezanne, in traversing the 41epartment o f th e S e i ne and Marue,•andhopes to deliver itfrom the brigands who still infest He. has orders to call-nu the National Guards to have the tocsin sounded, to issue proclamations to excite the inhabitants of the towns and the country to defend their homes against the insults of the enemy's parties ; he will, when he has _accom plished his object, repair to the Emperor's head quarters for fresh instructions.

The garrison of Bergen-op-toom has made a very s'uvpCssful sally, and taken the Commander of .the English troops besieging it. A irencliman is come back from Dresden, where he had been made prisoner; infornis us that he did not see a single corps m All the parts of Germany' through which he travelled, nor yet on the banks of the 'Rhine. All the enetny's re serves had joined him before the ha q . ; thus lie bas not a single reinforcement to hope for. The fine and numerous column of new troops broughtby General Jansen, which the Eni peror reviewed at Rheinis, was composed of old sol diers, who are impatient to meet the enemy. ' Accounts from Switzerland, dated at the be ginning of this month, tells us that many cantons reject the arrangements proposed - by the Allies. There is a general fermentation in people's minds, 'and it is difficult to foresee where it will stop.
