the spirited example of the Bordelais, to rise and
shatter in pieces the iron rod with which be rules

and temporary view s, they do not sacrifice the great
and lasting interests of mankind ; if to obtain an imme-
diate peace they do not re-enthrone tottering usurpation

Faris Papers to the 19th arrived on Monday. They con-
tained nothing telative to the negociatinns, to the mimics
war Paris, nor to those of Soult and Suchet. A dispatch of
Augrreau's, dated on the I tth instant at Villafranca, on the
road from Lyons to Macon, claims some successes,
inn: seems to admit that the Allies were in posses-
sion of Ma;on. Various accounts are gives of the
state of the bc!tiev:ed fortiesseS on the Rhine, with a view
©f showing that the Allies cannot spare -men enough to in-
vest them closely. The only fact of importance recorded in
thcsr- Par is, that tie Neapolitan troops, headed by Murat
liimAclf, have come into action with the Italians, and driven
tht-in from Re,vl;io, near Palma. The French General Seve-
roTh who couimanded at Reggio, was severely wounded on
t!.is occasion. The Fietieh rapers have again introduced
the little King of Rome, who' is just duet years old, to the
hot ice of the -Parisian:. It is gravely stated, that upon
venli!, into his carriage, his Majesty saw some grenadiers of
the Naiional Guards: when ins!antly taking off his hat, he
said in the most condescending manner, " I salute the Gen-
tlenicn of the Goad of flondur."

Further Pat is Papers to the 20th inst. arrived on Wanes-
eay. They do not contain a Bulletin to the Empress, but it
is stated in the minor papers that Buonaparte had entered
Ciiaions after an action, in which he took a great number
f riisoners. This, however, is not the way in which the
1., ench ti,tu.o.y describe a real victory. Prince Schwartzen-
b,rg, it khr esumed, was the enemy engaged. It is stated,
tith.r the dale oiSoissons, the 17th, that the Allies were held
in CLCCI: the Laon road; but we fitul, notwithstanding,
that at) t.ltta,.k was made upon Cornpeigne, on the 15th. This
I. lace is to the west of Soissons, and not more than be—
ty at:cl fifty miles from Paris. The assailants, it is
.said, amounting to a!)cut three hundred, were repulsed.
