.The department pf Leman is;
,we, are well as-
sured, entirely de'oted to the, BOURBON Cause.
'Advices from St. Petersburg ta• the 18th ult.
state, that the two younger bi others of the EM-
PEROR, the Grand Dukes NICOLAI and MICHAEL
had • taken their departure'trom thence to join the
Russian Army.
Letters from Bourdeaux say, that our troops are
living in the most splendid style of luxury. They
say, that they drink the finest claret at 20d. per
bottle,

It is said that there were above 200 vessels of
various descriptions in the port of Bourdeaux an
river Garonne ; but what number of them may
have belonged to the transatlantic worshippers of
NAPOLEON. 'we have not yet learnt. We trust that
they will be found tolerably numerous, and that
our new Allies, the Bordelai's, will give a faithful
account, not only of the ships, but of the cargoes,
which, though landed and warehoused, may con-
tinue in great part American property, and as
such, ought to form the booty of our brave sol-
.diers and their Spanish and Portuguese comrades.
This circumstance will perhapS afford an useful
warning
.to the other American merchants who
have kept their property at home. It will at
least teach them to doubt the omniscience of their
political oracle, Mr. JAMES -MADISON.
It is stated that a Treaty Of Alliance his been
entered into between Austria, Prussia, Russia,
and England,. for twenty years, by which. the
High Contrscting'Powcrs bind themselves, in the
event of a Treaty of Peace with France,' to pre-,
serve the balance of power in Europe, and to pro-
tect each . other in. their - territor;al possessions,
which at such peace may be under the dominion
of each power; and for the purpoSe of guarantee-,
ing, the same, the High Contracting Parties on.
tile Continent bind themselves when called, npOn,
to have ready to take the field, 150,000 men each,
within a given, term.; England to.assist the Allies as
speedily as possible with five millions of rnoney;'
This is Peace at a War expence.
The stories in the French Papers respecting the
pretty little King of Rome, are indicative .not only
of his Majesty having cut his teeth, so as to be
able to articulate distinctly ; but it proves the
military propensity of his heart. One paper in-
forms us of a charming engraving, in which. a
child is seen in the act of praying" his little
hands held up—the mixed sweetness and dignity_
of his countenance," (we copy the ‘vords of the
French Papers) and besides the insignia of the Le-
gion
of Honour sh..w the infant to be of exalted
and illustrious rank—the King of ROME—at the
bottom of the engraving are these words, " 1
pray for my papa and for my counzry." Surely
none of our readers can contemplate these charm-
ing traits, these tales of the nursery, without being
deeprY affected
We are glad to learn that Lord MARCH was
much better according to the last accounts.
The Present Mayor of Bourdeaux is said to De
a Mr. LYNCH, of Irish 4xtractioa.

'The uncotnmonly'severe tainsi. and the'rnot'e=,
nient of SOULT'S Army toWards Tarbes had in-
duced Lord WELLINGTON to halt the mairt
body of the Allied FOrces' between Pau (which
is occupied by part of Sir 11. Flit.r.'s corps) and
Aire—But his Lordship detached a body of
Troops under Marshal Beatsrottn to Bonrdcaux,
Which City he entered on the I th Instant.

" The Allied Troops were received with every
expression of joy and attachment.
"The Insignia of the existing Government were
torn down by the Inhabitants, WHO UNIVERSALLY
HOISTED TUE WHITE COCKADE, and LOUDLY
and spontaneously declared their desire to sup-
port the HOUSE of BOURBON."
•We Lail this glorious news, and hope that"this
manifestation of the disposition of the French
People may not be too late to save France anal
Europe from, the humiliation of acknowledging
the usurping Despot.'
