VrttNcti [Further Extracts.] SENS,' APRIL Paris was celebrating its happiness by every expression of gratitude Awl for s our town, situated at the distance •of .30 leagues f*:' - orti - the'eapital, was still a prey to all the horrors of war 4 we had flattered ourselves, that 'we should not again see within our walls that furi ous Geneva), whose absurd resistance caused us so wi , fo-tunes a month ago ; but the fatality which seems to haVe hung over our unhappy town for so many years, has brought him back amongst us, and ins presence has again occasioned us the most cruel disasters. On 'the 'fith of April we had learned a part of the happfevents Ebat bad taken place at Paris— _ The accoun! was privately circulated, and no one dared publicly to uttenis joy at thein. The same day 1590 Austrians appeared befOre the towd with 3p pieces of cannon and several howitzers. A flag of truce'proposed to the tbwii to surrender. This was the wish of all the inhabitants. I< was iixpressed by a Deputation of Ladies, who went to beg the Commandant not to bring down new inis iottunes on our country without any advkintage. The conduct of this CUmmandant bad- given us reason to hope that he would grant our wishes,. bnt:Our ill stars brought hick Ged. Alex, who,dis- • missed the flag of truce;, saying, that the town would be defended to the last extremity. A fox hours 'afterwards the firing began. It impos sible to sustain a siege, the garrison consisting of 300 men. The Austrian General, 'desirous of preventing the loss of blood, sent a second flag of truce. The - inexorable Alex replied, that he would bury himself under the ruins of the town, and that this was the resolution of all the inhabi tants. He knew as well as we did the events at Pam-is, but he contradicted them in lying Proclamations, and threatened with his anger those who should spread such news. When the Austrian' General received this answer, he prepared to attack the town. Then a-Lady devoted herself for the pulis lie safety—she caused herself to be let down from the walls, 'without being perceived, and .repaired to the Allies ; she was so fortunate as to meet_ with an Officer, whose life she had saved on the return-of the French to the town ; she conjured Win Co spare the town, the inhabitants of which bad:no , share in the. resolution of 'General 'Alex. The Allies ceased firing, and soon perceived the truth, when they saw the neighbouring heights covered with the inhabitants of the /own; who were flying-into time country. Incensed at the lie 'told by General'Alex, the Austrian General let him know, that since he had violated the laws of_ honour by deceiving him; he would wait till -the town was evacuated by the inhabitants, -and • then attack" it with his whole force, and put- the, garrison to the sword, beginning with Alex him self. This threat intimidated the hero, who, in spite of his boasting, capitulated without the loss of time. But the fire had 'already consumed one of the best establishments 'in the town, an im mense building destined for the education of young persons, in which were 60 young Ladies; With time nuns, their governesses. Some other houses were a prey to the flames.' Thus all the misfor tunes we have suffered are to be ascribed to the stupid and untameable obstinacy of a ferocious man;•whose -name will . for ever be held in execra tion amongst us. To-day despondency still reigns ; the people are coming back, and their 'only consolation under so many calamities is, the certainty of at length,en-. joying, under the tutelary and beloved govern ment of the Bourbons, a - happiness which it seems' was never to visit them again. Our town was always hated by Bmionaparte. lie never, stopped at it.,could not - forgive -the care with which . we have preserved the mOinunent erected in our city'to the august parents of Louis XVI. Louis X.VIII. and Monsieur. His government was so odious to that for .more than a Near no one could be found to fill the office of Mayor, Which. is still vacant. FONTAINBLEAU, APRTL 15.—Ettonaparte,though, sick„-reads every day the Paris Papers : 'his baud. trembles while he reads them, and his unsteady eye rapidly runs over them. He seems still to look for the extravagant and ridiculous praises. with which they did not cease to load him.. Alas ! b e . .fi'nds in thern now only tardy and painful truths His physical and moral dejection spews with what .anxiety he supports the - burden, and how impatient he is undor it; sometimes, forget ting that, he has acted his, part, and that he has -ased to be the Heropar excellence, be flies into a passion, and threatens with the weight of his anger ttic audacious . wre i tches who - dare to ,speak of him so disrespectfully. Then, coming to him self,. and recollecting that he is no longer thp re doublable Napoleon, he exclaims in ,his agony, if I had been .told three years ago a hundredth part of what I hear now, I should be still upon the throne !" What a distressing reflection for those vile flat terers who surrounded him—for those functiona ries without energy, and without virtue, who, constantly -prostrate at his feet, shamelessly sold the interests of the people for those mercenary posts, those hired pamphleteers, whose mean pro ductions, whose corrupting writings. - exhausted the utmost f orms o f t h e most serv il e a d u l a ti on ; indifferent to the public miseries, if with a base hand they could go and receive the• gold with which, their meanness. was rewarded.

It is merely necessary to observe, that our Festival was occasioned by the great and wonderful e:-enrs •which have so suddenly illumined the ;;loom of the political hemisphere, and to celebrate there torn of Peace, and the llownfal of that extraordi nary man whose successful tyranny has,, so, long desolated Europe, b wose tall has been'attend ed with a degracktion, that the most abject must contetnplate without envy. " Oh god ! thine ann was there, ".And not to Us, hut to thine arm alone " Ascribe We all." Early in morning the Town exhibited a de lighttid scene of bustle .and gaiety) the lioase:F were almost- universally decorated with colours, and the windows presented. a splendid, speeinivn of that ferrate beauty for which l'arinouth has so lun,t; been des'ervedly celebrated:, • At,twelve o'clock commenced the,Trininpsh of Neptune, which was announced by aTgun front his Majesty's ship Sblebay ; the beach and jetty were 'covered With spectators to witness the-land ing of the Sea-God, who was supposed ott this • occasion to sanction, with his presence the stir riority of the British Flag ; the Procession, con sisting of three barges, decorated With emblems and the flags of nll nations, came aShore in the most majestic style, under a continual salute ; in the first w.its Neptune, with his attendant Tritons, most nppropriately arranged ;' in the other two wet e hands of British Sailors and Cossacks with a sledge, on which was the effigy cif Buonaparte chained. A naval car, splendidly decorated, -wa's" kovided for Neptune, who was received on his landing by 50 nymphs arrayed in white. This most interesting spectacle, accom-,' panied by,a bpd in, full uniform, proceeded into the town and.rout3d the.matket-place, and was conducted with the :;r Latest amidst the acclamations of thousands ; the Procession end ' ing at Admiral Murrzly's, which Neptune made his head-quarters till after Ginner. At half -past one o'clock, a gun was fired as a preparatory signal far dinner: at a quarter before two - the company were seated ; the tables, which extended on. the Quay from north to south, 58 in number,. eack.accommodating from one hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty persons, were neatly covered with cloth, and ornamented %with `laurel, and scrolls expressive of; the event cele brated. At two o'clock, dinner was served, - which consisted of a most plentiful supply of roast beef, plum-pudding, and ale. At. three, dinner being ended, and the tables cleared, " The King" was given, with three times three, under a Royal sa-• lute from alt the shij'iS in the inatls, and the guns at the Royal Arsenal. This toast was followed by " The Prince Regent"—" Queen and Royal Family"—" Duke of Clarence and the Navy"— " Duke of York and the Army"—" Emperor Alexander and the Allied Sovereigns"—" Mar quis Wellington and our brave Officers and Soldiers"—" His Majesty's Ministers"—" May all Tyrants ,meet the fate of Buonaparte"- I "fhe Restoration of the Bourbons"—" An honourable and lasting Peace" 7 —" The Mayor and Corpora tion"—", Prosperity to theffown of Yarmouth, a ond a r.• d Fishing" The speedy Return of our Townsmen ipprisoned in France.' It would he diffieult to give any thing like an idea of the strong feeling which was excited when this toast was given ; it May be better imagined, when it is stated, that among the Company Were many hun dreds who for years have been deprived of has-. bands, fathers, and sons, brothers and friends, doomed to all the horrors of captivity, and whose return to,their native land, till this moment; has been More wished-for than expected,: many drank this toast in tears of joy.—The concluding toast was, f"'The Founders of the Feast.' • During dinner, the bands of the Wexford Re giment, and Local Militia proceeded round the tables: At five o'clock, the Grand Naval Procession, at- , tended by all the bands, proceeded round the Town to the'Denes, where donkey races and a pig hunt were provided. An immense pile had been erected for bonfire, on -which was &- scribed, " The Fungal Pile of the - Buonapartian Dyrasty," and exhibited a variety of 'transpa rencies, and surmounted by the effigy of Burma-, parte. At dark this .Was set on fire, amt, pre seated a mbst magnificent spectacle to near 30,'000 persons, who dispersed without a single instance of disorder. Thus ended a fZte, xvbich, for extent, comfort, anti regularity, was perhaps never before wit nessed. ,Sufficient praise cannot be given to the Gentlemen who proposed and conducted the }nisi rless, with so much propriety; and while the good order, so universally observed, tended- so essen tially to the gratification of the Company, it re flects infinite credit on the inhabitants of Yar mouth. The Subscription for the above, raised iu a day or two, exceeded WOO/. DUCHESS TYANGOULEME.—When the glad ticl iSgs first reached Hartwell, of Buonaparte's de thronement, and was imparted to the Royal Family of France there assembled, a general lence prevailed among them, arising► from emo tious that may readily be conceived. The amiable and interesting Duchess of Angouletue was the first to break that affecting silence, nearly as follows Let us return our pious acknowledg ments to the God of all Mercies, and then with one accord resolve to bury all that has passed in our unhappy country in forgiveness and oblivion ! For my part, I wish to ,return to ° it, but to fulfil some duties pointed out in the will of my adored and martyred father, which, under ; the graCe of Heaven,lMay now he permitted to accomplish !" Tears, more than words, flowed for some time from all who heard this charitable and pathetic declarsatiou. It is a singular fact, that MONSIEUR on being received at Ow Tbuilieries . , slept ina the bed of BUONAPARTF., and his principal attendant in that of th4.little King of Rome. CoMIT or, CpslivioN COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court -of Common Council was ht!d, pursuant to a requisition presented to the Lo!w - AIAYort, signed by several Members of the Court, for agreeing to an Address of ,Congratula, tion, to be presented to his Majesty'Lourii the Eighteenth. Previous to the business 'tor \which the' Court was called commencing— Mr. OLDnAm gave nbtice, that he would on the next Court-day mova that a Sivord, value 100 guineas, should be.presented. to his Excellency' 'Prinqe SchWartzetiburgh, Commander-in-Chief' of the Allied Forc6, and a Sword of Similar value to Awl Blucher, Commander of the Prussian Forces, as proOfs of the high sense which the Corporation of London entertained of their recent great and splendid services in the great cause of Europe. . ADDR.F;SS TO LOUIS EIGHTEENTI-f! Mr. QUIN the!) rose -to . prpose an Address of Congratilluition to the Freirch King, on his re storation to the 'Throne of France. In doing -this it would be unnecessary for him to detain the . Court. The causes 'which induced hint to bring, forward thiS Motion were well known, and that they were generally aproved by the people was apparent in the enthusiastic joy expressed by the Multitudes assembled to witness and hail the en trance of the French Monarch into London. in presenting the proposed Address, the Court NVOlIld give a pledge of 'amity to France, upon the occur rence of events, which, he trusted, would prove the gnarantee of the peace and tranquillity of Europe. lie Arad asked the °dicer for a prece dent on which to found this'Addre'ss ,to a Foreign Prince. There were, indeed, two, but n,‘„ither of them equal in glory to the present. One was on the marriage of the late King of Denmark with • his Majesty's Sister, the other was on the mar tinge of.the Duke Of Wirtemberg with the Prin cess Royal. These were the Congratulatory Ad-, dresses of .the Court on the union of two indi ,viduals;, here, however, the Court was called •• on to congratulate on the union of two great people. had heard it whispered that some ob jections were to be made to this Address, founded on the grounds, that till his Majesty had accepted the Constitution he was not the King of France. If the Constitution was looked at, it would soon . ' appear there were no grounds for ,these objections. 4 1'1,e 2d Article called him King of France, and the 29th Article said, on its being preSented in form to the people, the King should then accept it, and `be proclaimed. He was King, therefore, though not proclaimed. He was called King by Lord' Cathcart and Lord Burghersh, Lord Castlereagh, and Sir C. Stewart, in their dispatches. 'Marshal Jourdan called him so in his Order of the Day, and so did the voice of the whole; French People. For such an objection,,therefore, he thought there • could be no foundation. He concluded by mov ing the following Resolution :—" That an Address he presented to his Majesty Louis 18th, congratu lating him on the late happy and glorious events which bad released the people of France from an unparalleled despotisni, and restored him to the possession of his ancient rights." Mr. JACKS seconded the motion, and congra tulated the Court on the prospect now. held out of a permanent and glorious Peace with France, on the overthrow of the most degrading and grievous tyranny that history recorded, and in the .downfal -of those dangerous and false doctrines, springing. up with the Revolution, which had done so much to overthroW all the revarlar establishments of Europe, doctrines which, whilst like Solomon's apples, were of the fairest appearance outward ly, contained concealed within them the deadliest poison.;. ". Mr. Alderman Brncll trusted, after the expre!-' sion of general congratulation ,on the part of the people yesterday, the Court would not withhold theirs also. There was one circumstance he had to state, which had been communicated to him by the Sheriff; that was, that it being well known the' French King intended to quit London on 'Satur day, it would . be necessary no , time should he lost ; and should the Court now agree to the Address, without further delay, the Sheriff had made such arrangements that it might k pre sented to his Majesty this afternoon. ' Mr. IVAITnmAts; said, if tl•is Address was to be confined to congratulating the French king on his restoration, he• certainly bad no objection io it ; he had heard none, or did he anticipate any in any other quarter. He understood it was to be merely an Address of Congratulation, and therefore it should have his support. The motion was then agreed to, and a Com mittee appointed, 'who withdrew and prepared the Address, which, on their return, was adopted. . The Sheriffs, attended by the usual City Offi cers, were directed forthwith , to trait on his Ca tholic ,Majesty at. Grillon's Hotel, where he at present resides, to know when it would he his pleasure to receive the Address of the Corporation of the City of London. This part of theii- duty they immediately executed, proceeding direct irom Guildhall in their state carriages, to the residence of the French King, who, it is understood, has fixed to-morrow for receiving the Address.

This was an appeal against the Parish of Christ Church, Blackfriars-road, for not including, in a rate for the relief of the poor, the Meeting -house called Surrey, or Rowland Hill's Chapel.
