GENERAL ORDER ISSUED BY MARSHAL COUNT BAR-
CLAY DE TOLLY, GENERAL-IN-CHIEF OF THE
C0M134;E17 RUSSIAN AND PRUSSIAN ARMIES.
" SOLDIERS !---Your perseverance and bravery
have delivered the Freneb nation, oppressed by a
Tyrant who acted only for himself, and who for.-
gat what he owed' to an esteemed and generous
people. The French nation has declared itself
for tis ; our cause is become theirs ; and ouranag-
nanimous Monarchs have promised theeprotee-
tion and support. From this moment the I.*Tench
are our friends : let your arms destroy the small
number a unfortunates who still surround the
ambitious Napoleon ; but let the cultivator and
peaceable inhabitant be treated with considera-
tion and friendship, as Allies united by the same
interests. Giveifat head-quarters, Paris, April 2,
1814.!'
The General of Division, Count Legrand, has
notified to the" Provisional Government, his ad-
herence-to all the measures that have been taken
by, the Senate.
The persons employed at the Treasury, and in
reveral other public departments, who had not
received any salary for three months, were paid
yesterday.
The body of market-women, according to an-
cient custom, this morning presented themselves at
the hotel of the Prince. of Benevento, and solicited
the honour of presenting a nosegay to the Emperor,
Alexander. That Prince was gone out ; he was
traversi.ng out horseback the different quarters of
the capital, everywhere receiving the benedictions
• of an immense population, who flocked around his
coarae. On his return, his Majesty conde-
sc:endtd to receive the homage of the market-Wo-
men, and accepted their nosegay with the most
graceful and touching affability ; in the intoxica-
tion of their joy and happiness, they made; the air
resound with prolonged shouts of ' Long live
the Ureat Alexander ! Long live the Allied. S-
o- vereigns . Long live Louis !" Long live
tlae Bourbons'!"
A•great number of young men, bptli.on foot
and on liorebac:,:, with cockadet‘inrAheir hats,
and
_bearing White flags, had yesterday the h -
no,nr of being activated to an audience of the
King of Vrussia. They departed full Of venera-
tioo for the virtues of that illustrious Sovereign,
so beloved by hiS brave stihjects, and so worthy
or being- so.
Versaillesr.has followed the example of the Pa-
No sooner Was it delivered like the..',
tlnsin it recollected that it had, been the residence
of Kiags. it will send a deputation to the'Provi-
sional Government, to express to it its wishes.
''We learn from all the, districts adjoining the
capital, 'that the conscripts who were on their
:larch to join the army of Alttonaparte are return-
.).g to their homes. A great number of others

iv presented the affecting spectacle of Mo-

a boughs in their hands, covered with white

'.with the Tyrant !" Paris is daily receiving within
its walls soldiers, who will no longer shed their
blood for the ferocious ambition of A single man.
They ate' received -with tenderness; every out:

.to efface the
long sufferings w4icla they have experieiicedi

the whole of yesterday, to the house of M. Charles

their names in 'the list of ;loyal Guards.

Our wishes invited you ; they seconded your
holy crusade .against the scourge of nations,
against that monster, on riien to our country, who.
raised by a good fortune, of which be was un-,
worthy, to the helm- of a State torn by factions,
had perverted the errergy of a generous people,
.had abused that energy. in order foolishly to
dare war against the liberty of the world, anti
, even, so to speak; 'against the human race itself.;
—against that monster; to 'whom, by way of emi-
nence, it was even to clispeople and destroy; who,
from the Baltic to the. Pyrennees, tore children
from their parents to make them the instruments
or the victims of his devoujing tyranny, and com-
pelled even fathers to put up prayers' against the
success of the arms of their sons.
.'These prayers have beet' heard by Providence,
and realised by your brave armies. You'triumpb,.
Sires; but We are, not vanOished ; we are de-
livered, and your triumph shall be the eternal ob-
ject:of our gratitude.

of your benefit's.,
France cannon enjoy repose—she, cannot re-,
sume her place in the rank of the other European
nationsslie cannot (we say it frankly) inspiite
them with confidence in her treaties, but. under
the tutelary shade of legitimate authority.
Ah l at least, amid long and, culpable error*,
this 'justice shall at least be done us, that.no
Frenchman has dared to, neat himself on the throne
of Louis XVI,
The brother of that unfortunate--of that saint-
ed monarch—his legitimate. SucteSsor, the de]

homage---to beg him to restore to Irtrnce the
presence of her King, and to fix'With your Ma-
jesties, in his henceforth purified capitals, the un-
alterable bases of the tranquillity of Europe.

them. It determined; that this conquero-r should
possess no resemblance even to those who dazzled
whilst they alarmed mankin,d. it gave him a de-
gree of military skill, but without the'recommen-
daticn of personal bravery ; an .activity prodi-
gious, but without aim ; a will untameable, but
without discernment, All his disasters—all the
disgraces with which he has been overwhelmed—
have sprung front the same causes which produced
his triumphs. Neither the most unprecedented
favours of fortune, nor the most terrible lessons
of disaPpointment—nor the confidence of a na-
tion, which, having been tormented by a-hideous
anarchy, had hoped to find in him repose—nor
the counci of enlightened men, who would have
directed him to the path of true glory—nor the
devoted attachment, of valiant warriors.:--nothing
was able to Soften the ,character, to correct the
fake judgment, or to elevate -the corrupted sold
of this Corsican soldier. if one is confounded at
his obstinacy in causing so many tneti to perish,
oneis not less so at his obstinacy in continuing
to exist.' lie has shown us what sehislane7is is in
the human heart :.never haS he been able lona-
ruralize himself amongst Frenchmen! Was he -a
Frenchman, be who, placed' on a throne which
had been embellished by the goodness, the grace,
and• the gallant manners of
.our Kings, was always
insulting in his conduct towards females, and even
rallied them in a Jude and, Unfeeling' Manner on
the decline of . their beauty 3 Was he a French 7
Man, tvho never made a present but with' the
• ho,pe of a return ?•—Who made abase abesti
power, in order to address in the mid. 4 of his
Court degrading expressions to an amiable Mi-
n:.ster—to a respectable Judge-:--or to an hononr-
able warrior ? Nay, even in his camp, does be
heap insults on our warriors, \admired as they- are
by all the rest of Europe. , Wriat torrents .-id in-
vectives in his bulletins: 'When he has himself
committed a military blunder, he pitelies on the
name of 'any General at -Itai4rd, to accuse him of
it. He invents fables that no one can believe : if

heroic acts of bravery, in order to cover his.
checks; and yet it is often from the enemy that'
we first learn their perfotmance: ‘7,:htt,t il-soAnge

What a rusticity in his magnificence ! What a
contrast with the Inlkle and touching picture pre-
sented-to-us in the two Sovereigns, who 'have be-
come in one day the Allies of the French people !.
Pinonapatte %visited to reside in all the palaces of
Eutope : these Monarchs abstain from even en-
tering the palace of the absent King of France.-
- A simpler apartment suffices for them. Since
I the House of Lorraine has given the example- of
that simplicity which so well becomes the Throne,
the connection between Kings and their people has.
-been rendered more intimate. We now know why
these Sovereigns are loved, We long to see that
Emperor ofAustria who haS so fully concurred in
- their generous views ; and to soften,. if possible,
the pain whiCh our deliverance has cost his heart.
Why shoull v not speak to these Monarchs, the
friends of our own, in that language -of love, 6,f_
which the TYrant had made us lose the plelvrit4-
habit ? Thi:••• is the day of re-union to The GREAT,
