It never fell to the lot of any pet iodical miter to record in
so short space of time events so numerous and of such incal-
culable magnitude as those which we shall briefly trace, as
well as the flurry of our spirits and the agitated feelings of
our minds will permit us to do it.
The official dispatches we Published last week brought the
,events of the war down to the 21st ult. On that day Boo-
ovarte after experiencing a check at Arcis-sur-Aube, was
left directing his march towxtqs Vitrv, he proceeded still
more to the southward, towards St.. Dialer, Joinville. and even
as far as Chaumont and Langres. By this unaccountable
movement, from which he could not possibly expect ad van-
t2ges proportionate to the ri,k he :an, he gave the allies an
opportunity of efrecti»g their junction and of marching with
their united forces towards Paris. Of Otis they did not fail
to avail themselves with admirable promptitude and decisiov,l
and the Emperor of Russia made in two days, two forced
marches of ten and twelve leagues, for the magnanimous pm--
rose Of saving the capital. of France from the fwy-- of his
justly in itated soldiers, but mho be knew would be obedient
to ills voice. In the course of this movement of the allies
tow:tick Pat is, the crops of Marmont, Mortier, Oudinot, Arc.
%filo flying before Blucher were hastening to join Buona-
varte although ignorant of his intention, unexpectedly met
the combined armies near Vitry, which town, although en-
camped within a small distance of it, they thought in posses.
sion ;.f their own troops. The result of that unexpeeted
meeting between the allies and Bnonaparte's Marshal, was a
variety of engngements, as detailed in the Supplement to the
/gazette of Tuesday last, in which those corps lest 92 pieces ofl
cannon, an itninew,c convoy with 100,000 rations of bread.'
acrd a considet able number of wounded, and prisoners.
lii short, Sir Citarlei Stewart eFtimatei that this part of Bun-
imputes army bad lost one thin d of its efficient numbers and
neatly all its artillery. The movements attended with those
successes took up to the 16th. From that day to the 29th
the broken remains of that part of the French army retreated
before the allies towards Paris feebly attempting to dispute
the passage of the Oise, which was however easily forced, and
the head-quarters of the combined army were established at
Bondy, about nine miles limn Palk, on the evening of the
29th; a flag of ttuce was sent into the town, but was refused
admit!ance.. In the mean time Buonaparte sensible, too late,
of his error, was advancing by forced matches to relieve the
capital. But he was yet far of when on the 30th a battle
was f,tig-lit in its neighbourhood and under its very walls.
Jklaimorit's and Mortier's corps, reinforced by the troops they
found in Paris and by the national guards, were commanded
by the dowAtty .loseph, who was never Inckv at defending
capitals. The success was not an ithtant doubtful, although

the enemy had greatly the advantage of the grouri,', ;
the Emperor of Russia charged in person at the head of two
squadrons of his own guards, but the mock King of Spain-af-
ter having lost 65 pieces of cannon and a great onmber of dtr i-
soners, was the first to take flight, issuing, at the same !nue,
a Proclamation to induce the Parisians to defend themselves
even for a short time, as Napoleon was approaching to their
relief at the head of his victorious army. For those execra-
ble adventurers wanted to illustrate their downfal by the ruin
of the city to which they were strangers, well aware that the
instant the people could freely express their feelings they
would be ignominiously hurled from their usurped station.
Marmont, however, is a Frenchman, and to save Paris he
sent a flag of truce ;. an armistice was granted by the Empe-
ror of Russia, the King of Prussia, and Pi inue Sc hwartzen-
berg, with a magnanimity which must excite the admiral ios
of the world. A capitulation was soon after concluded; the
French troops evacuated Paris on the 31st, at seven iri the
morning, and the Allies entered it on the same day. Nothing
could equal the enthusiasm of the whole population at the
sight of the Emperor Alexander and of the King of Prussia,
whom they justly called their liberators. It was with the
utmost difficulty they could make their way through the
thronged multitudes. The windows and balconies were
equally filled with spectators, and from all sides the air was
rent with cries of " Long live the Emperor of Russia r'
" Long live the King of Prussia !" " VIVENT LES BOUR-
BONS!" " DOWN WITH THE TYRANT I" The scene was
above the power of expression, and such were the teal senti-
ments of the inhabitants of the good city of Paris towards a
despicable Tyrant whom a certain party represented here as
popular in France. This spontaneous manifestation of the
national feelings determined the Emperor of Russia to issue
a declaration on the same day, in which I e states, that his
determination and thar of the other Allied Sovereigns is not
to treat with Buonaparte or any of his family. Next day, Ist
of April, the Senate assembled at the recommendation of the
Emperor of Russia, and were presided by the Prince of Bene-
vento (Talleyrand). In that sitting it was agreed to form a
Provisional Govorntnent, at the head of which Talleyrand him-
self was placed, with instructions to prepare a new Consti!u •
tion on the bases of general amnesty, security of present
property, liberty of conscience and of the press, &c.
lo a second sitting on the same day presided by Bartho-
lemy, the Senate declared that Buonaparte and his family
were for ever excluded from the throne, and absolved the
French people and the army from their oath of allegiance.
Shortly after the Executive Governmeut issued an address to
the army recalling the soldiers from the ranks of the Usurper.
After these decisive steps, the Emperor Alexander in the
most condescending manner declared to the Senate, that
henceforth he should consider the French nation as allies,
and should restore to them their prisoners amounting to
about 200,000 men.

It will be naturally asked, what in the mean time was he..
come of Buonaparte. Ile had advanced towards Paris as far
a, Fontainebleau when lie heard of the capture of the town,
and of the subsequent events which had taken place. Lie
paused, uncertain what course to adopt : in the mean time,
at the suggestion of the Emperor Alexander, always anxions
to spare the effusion of blood, a message was sent to him
offering him his life, and an asylum in the island of Eba,
if he would quietly submit. To this the wretch gladly ac-
quiesced, and to make his submission still more disgusting,
after his late insufferable arrogance, he still assumes the tone
of canting hypocrisv,which he uniformly blended with his vain
boasting. It is out of respect for the oath he has taken to render
France happy, that he will consent to abdicate and to prom9te
