compensatediby the succesp of
,the Duke of Nogooteme, in
the south-east. The royal army, consisting of Marseillais
and troops of the line, marched in two equal divisions—one
under General Gardanne advanced on the side of Sisteron„
hut on coming in contact with Buonaparte's troops, it is said
the troops of the line joined them, and the Marseitlais 111,4
In all directions. The other division, commanded by the
Duke of Angotileme, following the course of the Rhone,
marched by Montelimart to Valence, in the direct line for
Lyons. Neu. Valence it was met by another Btronaparte
force, which it evidently defeated, as after the battle the
Duke entered Valence, where he remained some time, but
finding that an overwhelming force was marching against
him, he evacuated Valence and fell back upon Montelimart.
The loss of the Royalists in these affairs is stated at about Co
men killed and wounded.

Paris Papers arrived on Wednesday to the loth inst. Few
, persons doubted that Buonaparte, whatever pacific language
he might think it prudent to bold, was strenuously, though
secretly, on the alert to put his army on an effective footing;
this is now found to be precisely the case.—These papers con-
tain a Decree, signed on the 28th tilt but not published till
now, containing his summons to all of eers and soldiers. who
shall have quitted the army, fur whatsoever reason (includ-
ing of course the 150,000 retuned p' isonersl, to rejoin his
standard, with a promise that when the present peace " shall
be consolidated," those, who obey this decree, shall be the
first to receive their discharges.—The same decree directs
the addition of a fifth battalion to every regiment of infan-
try, and the formation o' six regiments of tirailleurs and six
of voltigeurs of the young Imperial Guard. Two days after
these preparations for war, but while they were not yet an-
nounced, Caulincourt, his Minister for Foreign Affairs,
signed a circular addressed to the French Ministers through-
out Europe, informing them of the Emperor's return, and
desiring them to tell Foreign Courts, " that the Emperor
has nothing more at heart than the maintenance of peace;
that he had renounced the projects of grandeur, which he
might have formerly conceived, that the system of his elia-
racter,• as well as the whole of the direction of the affairs of
France is entirely on another pi inciple." The A mbassadot s,
however, true to their trust, receive instructions only
from their lawful Sovereign. The Duke of Angouleme
had entered Valence with from 4000 to 5000 men, but
had left it again, on the approach of General Pire. Such,
however, is the prevalence of his Royal Highness's authority,
that he had even been in Toulon and returned from it.
Massena is at Marseilles, but it is stated that he and the re-
giments of infantry tinder his orders take no part in what
passes there ! The Swiss troops having refused obedience
to the orders of the Usurper on his reaching Paris, have been
disbanded.—The funds have fallen to W.—Five Commis-
sioners have been sent off to the departments by Buonapaite,
viz. Roeder and Coehen ; Thibandeau, Counsellor of State ;
Alphonse. Master of Requests; and Dumelard, Member of
