to replace him. and whilst the 'alter, with forces reduced by
the captivity of his bravest ve.eians, and exhausted by re-
peated battles, saw himself betrayed by some of his Marshals
...that the v, we repeat, which in such circumstances
compelled them to sign the treaty of Fontainbleau though
fully aware of all its perils, acts with ten times more power
now that he is restored to the imperial throne with the ap-
parent consent of the nation and through the enthusiastic
attachment of an alms, swilled to its former force by the
return of all the Fret‘eh prisoners from every part of Europe.
11when five hundred !housand folei.tn troops occupied the
capital, the second city in the Eolith 7, several strong places,
and many provinces, %Olen all the Booth, encouraged by the
advance of our •victorious army, was in a bta., 2 of insurrec-
tion, and the Senate had removed the crown from his head,
it was politic not to continue the war, how deeply must not
the assembled Princes of Europe ponder before they renew
it, when they find him once more acknowledged Emperor, in
possession of all the fortresses, the provinces, the armies, and
the recruitud means of France?

Bauar.%t x, 11.tnen 27....11. Leine arrived here some days ago.
1k waited on the Dtichess of Angoilleme, and announced to her the
entrance-of the Emperor itito Pads. A few minutes alter fire the ea-
'silky of the national guilid passed the Garonne, and arri,,ed on tlie
hanks of the I).irdoune, to I itercept4ltr couriers. dilieenccs, and whet
earriays from fici•is. It wits thin that a courier flawed Alenaad, wfiri
was the bearer of the Emperor's Proclamations, was airested and thrown
into prison. On the 14th bands, few iu number, visited the

The plan of the Royalists was to disarm tae: two regiments at Por•
Beaus, the 80 light and the ti"Zd of the line, but these corps showed
themselves to be devoted to the Emperor, and no attempt ai;,ainst them

The duchess of Angouleme iequired the closing of the theatres during
holy Week. She reviewed two regiments. and shed tears when the
brave wldier!, composing these cups, plainly roused in her presence
to cry !fireSe Roil.
On the tztith, a secret fermentation began to manifest itself and to be
directed against the Royalist patty. The report was circulated that
General Clause! bad arrived to take thectnumand t.f the town in the
name of the Emperor. . .
All l ersons any influence agree, that with the exception
of a few individuals, at the head of why iti are the mayor and 111.
all the population would in.tantly declare themselves, were they not
made to believe, by the most p•rfiditns stiggestiiiiss, that the Emperor
would take vengeance on the whole town, for the treason of which only
