the pursuit of the Neapolitan fugitives.
" Major Flette. after this success, marched upon Aquila,
where he arrived on the 2d. The garrison, consisting of

considerable quantity of ammunition, and being allowed to
return to Naples, under the condition of not serving against
the Allies for the space of one month.

The following is an extract from an Imperial Proclamation
published at St. Petersburg, on the 25th of Art il, addressed to
the French nation, and which reached us Tuesday by the
Gettenburg mail

APRIL 25.—w" You entered my territories, unprovoked, with fire and
sword you plundered and destroyed wherever you came ; you en-
tered my capital, which you laid waste. I entered your territories,
and took your eapital, but destroyed nothing. Again, unprovoked,
you raise the sword, and destroy the peace of natio! s. I will now enter
your territories once more, to conquer peace ; and wherever I meet
with reAktance, I will utterly destroy you for your perfidy."

The Sovereigns were expected to leave Vienna about the
15th inst. and tpke up their head-quarters in the vicinity of
the nine. preparatory to the tremendous conflict which
is ibcut to commence. It is evidently the object of the

Allies to move forward on one great preconcerted plan, sad
hence it may be a week or two before any blow is struck.
Louis XVIII. has published a Manifesto to the French
nation, in which he states, that, with the exception of a Or-
tion of the army, the whole of his subjects are desirous of his
return ; and that invitations to that effect daily reach him,
not only from all points of the northern frontier, but from all
quarters of his kingdom, even the most distant :--

" Frenchman," adds the Manifesto, the King, wherhas always been
near you, will soon'tie with you. Hi, Majesty, the day on which he
shall 'et foot on his territory and your's, will make known to you in
detail his salutary intentions, and all Isis measures of order, justice, and
yi,u will see that the period of his retreat has not beets lisle
lust for your interests, and that tke Kiue has reigned by the c••res of his.
foresight, even when he did not reign in the exercise of his authority."

Besides this Manifesto, written by Count Lally Tolendall,
a report of the state of France, by Chateaubriand, has also
been published ; in which he asserts that all the moral
force of France, and the torrent of public opinion, are for
the King.—The Frenchmen now assembled at Ghent, under
the Bourbon standard, are estimated at 5000: with the ac-
cession of daily arrivals, many of whom, French officers of
rank, repair to British ports, and from thence proceed to
join their Sovereign.
Intelligence of an insurrection in La Vendee (headed by
Charette, son of the renowned general. and OlerOn), was
communicated on Monday in a dispatch, from the Duke of
Bourbon to the duchess of Angouleme, dated from St. Gilles.,
The Duke had never quitted that part of France since the
return of Bonaparte ; but has been actively employed there
in preparing the insurrection which has just exploded. In
this effort he has been zealously supported by our Govern-
ment ; some time since a secret expedition sailed from En-
gland with arms and military stores of every description,
for the use of his adherents. M. Roche Jaquelin, and many
French loyalists of distinction, went out at the same time.
