Extract of a Dispatch fiom W. A'Conrt, Esq. his Majesty's En-

Two Sicilies, to Viscount Castlereagh, dated Naples, June 17.
I have the satisEction to inform your Lordship, that his Sicilian
DlAjesty mete his public entry into his capital, after an absence of
vine years. The crowd that thronged the road all the way from
Vorrici. WWI immonse, and nothing could exceed tl e enthusiasm of
the people on the appearance of their legitimate Monarch. It was
impo.slide to mistake the public feeling upon this occasion. The
ti ertrical processions of Murat drew crowds, as I am told, of cu•
riot's spectatois, but emiosity was not the inducement here; in
every countenance might be read the honest expression of heart-
fel'-py at the return of a beloved and native Sovereign. His
Majesty was received on his arrival at the Palace. by all the prin-
cipal Nobility of the etmtry, the great majority of whom appeared
to partake of the entliu.nisni which had been previously demon.

W.lll DVPARTMENT, DOWNING•STIIEET, JULY 7, 1815.

Captain Lard Arthur Hill arrived last night with dis-
pa'.che, of which the following are an extract and a
cony, addressed to Earl BaihurFt by his Grace the Duke
of 'iVellington, dated Gonasse, 2d and 4th instant :

Gowan. ¶!d July 1811.
The enemy attacked the advanced guard of Marshal
Prince Bitivier's corps at Villars Coterets, on the 28th ;
tat the main body coming up, they were driven off,
kith the lo,:s of 6 filet:vs of cannon, and about 1O
prisonPts.y.—lt appears that these troops were en the
march from goissons to Paris, and having been driven 'off
it.at road by the Prussian troops at Villars Coterets, they
got upon that of Meaux. They were attacked again
upon this pad by Guttural ilulow) who took from thlb

five hundred prisoners, and drove them across the Marne.
They have, however, got into Paris. The advanced
guard of the Allied Army. under my command crossed
the Oise on the 29th, and the whole on the 30th, and we
yesterday took up a position with the right upon the height
of Rochebourg, and the left upon the Bois de Bondy.
Field Marshal Prince Blucher having taken the villae of
Ju
ne,
moved or Vertus, on the morning of the 30th
moved to his right, and crossed the Seine at St. Germain as
I advanced, and he will this day have his right at Plessis
• Pique, his left at St. Cloud, and the reserve at Versailk's.
The enemy have fortified the heights of Montmartre and
the town of St. Denis strongly ; and by means of the
little rivers Rouillon and la Vielle Mar, they have inun-
dated the ground en the north side of that tewn, and
water having been introdnced into the canal ee l'Ourcq,
and the Lank formed into a parrpet and batteties, the y
have a strong position on this side of Paris. The heights
of Belleville are likewise strongly fortified, but 1 am not
1%1 are that any defensive works have been throw n up on
the left, of the Seine. Having collected in Paris all the
troops remaining after the battle of the ISth, and all the
depots of the whole army, it is supposed that the enemy
have there about 40 or 60,000 troops of the line and
4,,uards, besides the national guards, a new levy called Les
Tirailleurs de la Garde, and the Federcs. have great
pleasure in informing your Lordship that Quesnoy sur-
rendered to his Royal Highness Prince Frederick of the
Netherlands on the 20th June. I enclose the copy of
his Royal Highness's report upon this subject, in which
your Lordship will observe with satisfaction the
genets and spirit with which this young Prince conducted
this affair.

Petit IVargniemolune 28, 1815

On the day before yesterday, I had th honour of re-
ceiving your Grace's letter dated Joncourt, 26th inst.
sent by your Aide-de-Camp, Captain Cathcart, whom I
have requested to inform your Excellency, that Marshal
Count Rothajlier had arrived this morning to summon
the place in the name of Louis XVIII. lie entered into
a negociation with Lieutenant-General Desprax, Gover-
nor of Qucsnoy. The only result, however, produced
by this was a very singular reply from the Governor,
from which it appeared to me that he might possibly be in-
duce(' to capitulate, and I determined at once on firing
some shells and shot into the town, and of advancing
oar tirailleurs to the very glacis, to annoy them in every
quarter, with a view of making some impression on the
Commandant, and endeavouring by that means to excite
to revolt the National Guards and inhabitants, v. ho are
said to be well-disposed toward us.—From the infor-
mation collected as to the fortifications, there appeared
to me no reasonFble chance of taking it by escalade, the
ditches being filled with 'Water, in addition to the inun-
dat ion which had been made. At eleven o'clock at night,
I ordered five howitzers and six 6-pounders to open on the
town, and I continued the fire until three o'clock at day
break. The town was at one time on tire in three places
.bnt the fire was shortly extinguished. Some men ere
killed in the town and several wounded, which appears
to have produced exactly the effect w hich I wished. Lest
night General Anthing, who commands the Indian bri-
gade, sent an officer with the proposals to the Comman•
dant, according to the authority which I had given to him,
and coupled with a threat of bombardment and assault.
