MARSHALS NEY AND BRUNE.

Marshal Ney has been discovered in the canton of Figeac,
in the department of the Lot, on the border of the depart-
ment of the Cantal. lie has been apprehended there and
conducted to Aurillac. This important arrest is owing to
the vigilance of M. Locard, Prefect of the Cantal, and of
the Sub-Prefect of Aurillac. The Captain of Gendarmerie
executed the orders of the Prefect with great zeal and acti-

vi ty.
Marshal Mune, after quitting Toulon, set out with trans-
ports from M. de Riviere. He was recognized by the people
at Avignon, where a popular commotion immediately broke
ont. M. Brune alighted from the carriage, and took refuge
at an inn. The Prefect, who bad previously seen him, and
advised him to pursue his route without delay, hastened to
the spot ; for four hours and a half he, at the peiil of his
life, defended that of Marshal Brune ; but neither his words
nor his exertions were capable of appeasing the fury of the
populace, and there was no armed force in the city. At
length, at the Moment when the Marshal believed it certain
that the door of his asylum was on the point of being broken
open, he killed himself with a pistol.—The Prefect of Vau-
close has been ordered to proceed against the authors of the
sedition.

PARIS, Auc. 12.—We arc assured that his Royal High.
ness the Duke of Angouleme will set out on Tuesday, to pre-
side at the Electoral College of the Gironde, and that Ma-
dame the Duchess of A ngouleme will accompany him.
General Labedoyere underwent his first examination the
day before yesterday. To afford time for his defence, the
public hearing will not take place before Monday next.
None of the pei sons arrested at the Thuilleries have been dis-
charged. Fifteen of them will be tried at the next Assizes.
The approaching elections at present chiefly engross the
public attention. The new Chamber of Representatives, the
7th or Bth 4 our Representative Assemblies, will have, we
hope, a different character fi9m any of the preceding.
PA RIS, AUG. 13.-The Allied Sovereigns and the Princes
of their families will dine this day with the king.

Part of the equipages of the Duke of Angouleme set out
yesterday for Bourdcaux ; those of the Duke of Berri are al-
ready on their way to Lille.
New corps of Prussian cavaby are on their march for Paris.
They come from the banks of the Rhine.
We are assured that a Declaration of the Allied Sovereigns,
which will appear in a few day!, is of a nature to satisfy alt
minds. It is also believed that his Majesty's birth-day Will
be the epoch of a definitive arrangement, according to which
the greater part of the Allied troops will quit France, leaven
only the number necessary for the maintenance of internal
tranquillity.
Persons who have travelled through the lines of the army
of the Loire, calculate its effective force at about 45,000
men. The corps of the Old Guard ate the same as they

AUG. O.

were seen on their departure from Paris. We are assured
that a great number of them will be enrolled in the Royal
Guard, which will consist of the best troops of the army.
In an Address to the King, the Members of the General
Council of the Gironde express themselves in these terms:
4. Sire, allow us to state the only wish which yet remains un-
satisfied. We venture to implore your Majesty to moderate
the exercise of your virtues, and not to withhold justice by
their exercise. impunity emboldens crime. It is a calamity
in public order."
At Avignon, after the suicide of Marshal Brune, two
small images of Buonaparte were carried through the city,
and afterwards burned in the public square.
Vr ENNA, Jut.l 26.—When the intelligence of Napoleon
having surrendered himself to the English arrived here, the
Empress went to Baden to prepare the Archduchess Maria
Louisa for this new;. She received it with firmness, but
after the departure of our august Sovereign, the Archduchess
shut herself up in her apartments. IVe are assured that she
will soon leave Baden to retu►n to the Castle of Schcen-
brunn. She has forbid the persons who attend on her son to
infolin him of the events which have occurred in France.

PAttis, Auc. 14.—Persons who have the opportunity of
be:ng well informed, assert very positively that the integrity
0. the French territory is now on the point of being admitted,
and is already regulated by negociations at the Congress of
Paris; that if the occupation of certain frontiers of the king-
dom, for a limited time, by a certain number of Allied
troops, is judged necessary, that condition will only he sti-
pulated to guarantee the execution of the other Articles of
the Treaty.
It is added, that Russia and England interfere in the af-
fairs of France, with so much moderation, nobleness, and
good faith, that the use which they make of their power is
nu less admirable than the lustre of their success. In fine,
we are assured that the King of France, reduced as he has
been to the mete influence of his virtues, and the moral
rower of his name, will soon surmount the cruel trials which
his 'heat t has undergone, with a glory the more eminent, in
consequence of its being entirely due to the ascendancy of
his character, and the strength of mind with witch Le is
endowed.

The Prince of Echmuld, whose arr ival at Paris the joor-
pals prematurely announced, is really now here, but only
since yesterday morning.
It has been reported that Joseph Buonaparte was discover-
ed and arrested in Paris. A Journal added, that he was
guarded by two gees crarmes. The following is another ac-
count, which we also give, without pledging ourselves for
it. accuracy. A letter from Gex, dated Aug. 7, contains
the following passage:—
" JosepCßuonaparte, who arrived secretly same days ago
in the Pays de Vaud, was arrested on the night of the id
:nst. at the Chateau d'Allmand, near Rolles.—The order had
been sent from Berne, and it was Colonel Brandlin, at
the head of a company of the St. Gall Carabineers, who exe-
cuted it. Joseph had gone nut at a private door tryiug to
escape, but perceiving the chateau surrounded, he returned
into the house to conceal himself. A soldier groping will)
his bayonet in the dark wounded the fugitive, who had
squatted down in a corner, in the hand. Joseph lost a con-
siderable quantity of blood by this accident, which caused
him to faint. He is cloiely guarded in the chateau. The
Colonel waits for further orders to dispose of him."
Yesterday. the Sovereigns dined. with the King. At eight
o'clock his IVlajesty and the Allied Monarchs appeared on
the balcony. All the Sovereigns were deco.a•eJ with the
Order of the Holy Ghost.
