On Wednesday morning the arrival of Buonaparte became
generally known in Paris, when the public consternation be-
came general. In the course o• the day he summoned his
Ministers, and stated to them that Army was no more, and
that he required their assistance in the fotmation of another.
The Chambers were immediately convened, and the fatal
Hews being officially communicated to them, they resolved—
" that the independence of the nation was menaced ;" voted
themselves " pettnanent ;" declared that " the army had
merited well of the country"--" invited the Minister of the
utt,-;nr to consult for the arming of the National Guards ;
• " invited the Ministers of Nt'ar and Foreign Affairs
to.attend the sittings of the Chamber, to answer 'dative tehthe
state of France "

The intercourse between this country and France is again
restored; Friday ten French mails art ived at the Post-office;
and three vessels artived at Portsmouth, direct from Havre-
de-Grace. The French Mails came from Calais in the Duke
d'Angouleme packet ; that port and Boulogne are both open.
Several French vessels arrived at Dover yesterday, By the
French mails papers were received to.the 27th , the only pa-
ingtaph of interest in them is the postscript of a paper. of
/dooday last, which states positively, that Buonapatte left
Pat is on that very. day for Haire, where he intended to em-
bark for England. Ile was accompanied by Joseph and
.Jerome.

The town was considerably agitated on Thursday by re-
ports of Buonaparte having rode to Compeigne, and there
delivered himself up to the Duke of Wellington ; the Aus-
trian Ambassador was stated to have received dispatches to
this effect, but on enquiry this is unfounded, and the whole
rests on the report in the French Papers. stating that he was
about to proceed to England by way of Havre.

The following is an extract of a letter from the Puke of
Wellington to a distinguished personage :—" My heart (says
he) is broken by the tetrible lust I have sustained t!t- my old
friends and companions, and my poor soldiers ; and I shall nat
be satisfied with this battle, lioverPr glorious, if it does not of
itself, put an end to Buonaparte."—in another letter, the Doke
psys a high compliment to Buonaparte—he says, that he did
his duty—thA he fought the battle with infinite skill, per-
severance, and bravery—" and this," adds the Noble Duke,
" I do not state from any personal motive of claiming merit
to myself—for the victory is to be ascribed to the superior
physical force and invincible constancy.of British soHiers.
We are happy to hear the wounded in general rue doing
Mill; Lord Fitzroy Somerset had aheady walked out; Co-
lonel Pons.nby is out of danger. The Mat quis of Anglesea
(Earl of Uxbridge) is fast recovering, and shortly expected
in England.
The public anxiety to have a list of the 'killed and wound-
ed, and missing, in the late glorious battle in Flanders, is
become excessive. It is said that an error in the very im-
perfect list published has produced a fatal result, and that
for this 'easel.' the communication is delayed, until it can
be put forth in a complete and perfect state.
Lord Combermere and Sir Lowry Cole both set off this
week to join the British army in France.
Joncourt, the late head quarter;, mentioned in the Doke
of Wellington's dispatches, is distant ninety miles fi nun Park.

Minute guns were fired front all the ships in the Downs, wl,!!e
the body was conveying to the beach, where all the naval and
military at Deal were drawn up to receive it. The body
reached Canterbury about six the same evening, And was
deposited in the custody of a guard of honour, in the same
room at the Fountain Inn, where, on the same day fortnight,

'At six on Monday morning, the body proceeded foe the
place of interment, accompanied to the extremity of the

We understand that it has been determined that the grand
National Monument to he erected to commemorate the gaj•
last men who fought at the memorable battle of %Valet on,
is to be erected in James's Park, as near as possible to the
spot where the guns are fired from, on all military victories
and other rejoicings, and where the military arc assembled
daily, and will see it. The plan is for it to be encircled in a
similar manner to that of the statue of the Duke of Bedford in
Russell square, where every person will be able to read the
names.
