twelve are for Louis XVIII. Among them are Ney,

Mr. Mills, the Messenger, who arrived on 'Friday from
Vienna, cause by way of Frankfort, with the intention of
p.-.ssing through Paris, with dispatches from the Duke of
Wellington for Lord Fitzroy Somerset. Mr. Mills had got
within two posts of Paris, when he received intimation of the!
emlistui bed progress of Buonaparte, and his being then ac-
tually in the French capital. This information was given to
him by the Post•master. Mr. Mills immediately changed his 1
route for Calais. He arrived at Abbeville the morning after
the King left that place for Lisle, attended by Lord F. So-
rneiset, with some of whose suite, not yet set out on the jour-
ney, Mr. Milts spoke. At Calais Mr. Mills met Messrs.
Hunter and Fisher, the Messengers, who left England with
the last dispatches for Lord Fitzroy Somerset. • Mr. Mills
informed them of the King's changing his route for Lisle,
for which place they set out with all dispatch.
The Royal Family is thus distributed—Monsieur left
Paris with the King, but is understood to have gone on
from Abeville to hasten preparations for his Majesty. He
was at Calais on Tuesday night. The Duke de Berri, ard
the old Prince of Conde, now between so and 90 years of
age, his faculties almost gone, travelled with the king, His
son the Duke de Bourbon, the father of the murdered D'En-
gliien, had set out some days before to join the Duke of
Angouleme, and organise a force upon the Banks of the
Loire. We have no account of the subsequent movements.
—We trust they will not fall into the „tyrant's hands,
though some apprehensions are entertained for them. The
Duchess of Angoulente was at Bourdeaux on the 14th, and

the inhabitants were tbil of loyalty. She had aCcedeil to a
request made to ber to remain among them. The troops*
however, were for Bnonaparte. The Duke of Orleans was
in the North of France. We" are anxious for accounts of all
these Royal Personages being safe from the clutches of*
tyger, who has already tasted the Royal Wood.

There is no doubt but that Bonaparte entered Paris on
Monday the 20th inst. On his first landing he declared that
he would plant his Eagles in- the Thnil!eries on that day: It
was the anniversary of his son's birth-day, and it has ever
been a part of his tactics to fix on what he calls fortunate
days for great events. In illustration of the joy with which
he was received on his way through France, there are mans
anecdotes in circulation. Marchand's corps at Grenoble,
was the first of any strength, with which he came in contact.
On approaching it he threw open his bosom, and exclaimed,
" Soldiers, you have been told I am afraid of death—here is
my bosom, fire into it if you like !"—The appeal was an.
swered with enthusiastic shoots of " Five l'Empereurr and
the soldiers joined his ranks.

The populace of Paris attempted to commit violence on
the person of the King, as he was leaving his capital, and his
faithful Gdards were forced to fire upon the assailants.—The
troops who attended the person of Bonaparte in his triumphal
entry. all marched with the points of their bayonets pointed
downwards.

Louis NVIII. quitted Paris either Sunday night, or early
Monday morning; he entered Abbeville with a train of three
carriages and six, without any attempt incognito, and without
any military escort. Ile attempted. but was. unable from
feeling, to address the multitude of people (who received him
with shouts of " Vire to Roi!") from the Hotel de Prefecture
where be lodged. The military in the streets, although.
disposed personally to respect him equally with the in-
habitants, while in his presence, did not scruple to avoid
their attachment to Buonaparte, by the usual cry of
Vive l'Entpereur!" and by songs in his praise at their
allards du Corps. It is said to have beet) one of the most
touching scenes ever exhibited. _

Buonaparte turned off when be approached the Seine
towards Fontainbleau, which he occupied last Sunday, being
determined, as he is reported to have said, that the Palace.
which had witnessed his disaster should be the first of the.
Royal Palaces that should receive him in success.
Bonaparte immediately after entering Paris is stated to,
have issued a Proclamation, allowing 15 days for all persons:
to quit France who pleased. The road from Paris to Calais.
was crowded with fugitives. Many waggons had reacheci.
Calais with treasure and other valuable effects. From
Rouen and Havre more than 300 merchants have taken their.
departure.
The account in some of the Newspapers about the Duchess
of Wellington having brought over the Crown Jewels of
France. is erroneous ; but a considerable amount in specie
was fortunately conveyed from Paris into this count!), about
ten days since, as wisely preparatory to the event which had
so disastrously taken place.
The Three Chances of £30,000 (exclusive of the Five
Prices of 1,000 Guineas) in the Present Lottery, are held in
high estimation by all ranks of Adventurers, which renders it
very doubtful whether the Tickets will not be Sold previous
to the Mh of Next Month ; if not, the remaining few will be
extravagantly dear. Ho RNSBY and Cb. experience an ex-
traordinary demand for Tickets and Shares a 4 their Office.
