PARIS, APRIL 27.—His Royal Highness Mon-
situr, &c.—Taking into cdnsideration that the
happy changes which have occurred in the politi-
cal state of Europe, and the re-establishment of
•the commercial relations of France with neigh-
bouring nations, render useless the Prevotal Courts
and the Tribunals of the Customs ;

That these Courts and Tribunals may be sup-
pressed without the intervention of the Legislative
Power, because they were erected merely by a
simple decree of the lath of October, 1$10;
That these Courts and Tribunals, notwith-
standing the illegality of their erection, were em-
powered to pronounce, even with Out appeal, cor-
poral and, infamous punishments, 6Zii- only upon
smugglers, but, against their accomplices, and
those who hired, directed, or were interested with
them ;

That designations ,so yague, endangering the
safety of all citizens, it is hardly possible to
doubt that 'they involved many persons totally in-
nocent of that sort of offences ;
In fine, that under a great variety of circum-
stances, these offences have been the object of
the Royal clemency;
Therefore his Royal Highness, with the advice
of his Council, ordains as follows :

1. The Prerota,l Courts and Tribunals of the Customs, es-
tablished by the decree of the 18th of actober, 1810, are sup-
pressed. . ,

2. The offences relative to the Customs shall in future, to-
gether with those actually pending before the said Tribunals,
be brought before the Judges entitled to decide thereon .prior
to the 18th of October, 1910.

rflie3d,and 4th articles order all persons detained in the
prisons or bridewells of the kingdom, in virtue of orders from
the abort' Courts, to be set at liberty; and give individuals
the right of suing for damages by civil action, fot: acts of'vio-
lente connuitted on their persons and property under the said
derVeel •

We, Charles Philip, of France, &c. being desirou, of conse-
crating the remembrance of th.e courageous resistance which
the itihabitants of the West, for a long time, opposed tp the
subversion of the Throne and the Altar—a resistance doubly
affecting to our heart, from the persevering fidelity of those
br4ve Frenchmen, and the deplorable -calamities which it
drew upon their • provinces—have, with the advice of- the
Council of State, decreed, . and do decree as follows :—The
city, heretofore; called IN4pOleon, shall take the name of
Bourbon-Vendee. • • (Signed) CHARLES PHILIP.

His Majesty the Emperor of Austria, yesterday,
visited the palace. of the Legislative Body. He
.bud scarcely entered the hall of their Sittings,
when his attention was caught by an object which
~:excited in his breast the most vivid emotion. It
was the full length portrait of the Archduchess
Maria Louisa, executed by one of our first-rate
painters, " I should. request to carry with me
this excellent picture," said his Majesty, ".if it
did not belong to so respectable a boa), as the
'Legislative Body.",—" Sire.," answered the Offi-
cers who conducted the Monarch, " the Princess,
who is here represented, has merited, in so many
respects, the gratitude and veneration of the
'French, that the
.Legislative Body could not part
with her image:"—" I shall feel a pleasure," re-
joined 'his Majesty,:.".in reporting to my (laugh-
ter this Mark of ffttachinen t."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL DE PARIS.
did not read your paper of the 22d inst. until yes-
terday ; I there saw, with surprise, an article respecting me,
to which I feel it my duty to reply. It is false that I concealed
myself at the departure of the Emperor Napoleon ; and it is
equally false that I received any gratuity from him. ,Had
.you been better informed of the state of facts, you would hare
learnt that I Was ill before the period of the departure of the
Emperor Napoleon was definitively fixed, and that my effects
•have been sent off with his ; it having always been my inten-
tion to follow him as soon as my health is re-established.

A letter from Aix, of the 18th, says, " The
excellent spirit which Buonaparte's police infused
info the public prints, before the happy revolu-
tion which restores to 113 the descendants of
Henry IV. had disgusted the greater part of the
inhabitants of this quarter to such a degree, that
they discontinued taking them but DOW every
person is eager to read them. The people of Pro-
vence are intoxicated with enthusiasm and delight.
They highly praise the conduct of Admiral Can-
theaume, who did not execute any of the infa-
mous orders which he had received. At Mar-
seilles the public joy has been equally-great. They
dispensed with the quarantine regulations with re:-
gard to tvkro English frigates which arrived off the
harbour% The Officers joined with General Du
Muy, who afterwards conducted diem to the
Theatre. The white flag entwined with the Eng-
lish flag decorated the box in which they .sat.—
i!Cle:Poissardes took upon themselves the charge
of entertaining the English sailors, whom they
carried from their boats, and conducted through
'the streets in triumph."
The important fortress of Luxembourg has ca-
pitulated..
A letter froth Strasburgh says, " The white flag
is hoisted in all the fortresses in Alsace. We are,
however, still ignorant of what-has passed at Lau-
