PARTS PAPERS TO THE SEC=OND OF MAT.

AiTT&N, Ariil 26.—ft was expected that Buo-
naparte would have passed On ()ugh our town,
and detachments. of the Allied Army came here to
serve him as an-escort, but we since learned that
he took th'e i4)a.d of t Bourbonais. . His Brothers
have been ronniing about in our neighbourhood.

Jerome slept at Lazy", a small town of Nivernais,

about seven leagues from hence. On Thursday,
the 2lst, he arrived unexpectedly•.at Madame de
lri, .
Chapelle'S, the wife of the Mayor, who was very
mqch embarrassed (her husband behi,g absent) to
know liow sloe should receive this person. Ma-
dame 'tie la Chapelle, her _husband, and all her

farnily,are devoted to the Bourbons; brit in remote

places, they are- very often two or three weeks
, behindhandiu point of-iotelligence ; and a body
'of partisans, who bad for some time infested the
banks of the Loite; had intercepted all connnu •
I 1 icati on. Jerome told her; with unparalleled im-
pudence; ," That the events which , were passing
were very unimportant; that all the stat'ements
which were in circulation 'were exaggerated ;
that a Slight_ movement by three or four bad sub-
jects ha& been-represented as a counter-revolu-
tion. But have patience ; the Emperor, my brcr-
filer, is .more powerful than:ever; every body is
rallying around him; he Will soon triumph over
the rebels, on whorn he will take exemplary
Vengeance, and order will be everywhere re-
stored:" On Friday,/the 22d, Jerome stopt and
slept at a.house at some dktance on the road to
Moulins. It appears that-he did mint like to pass the,
night, -at-Amai) ; the inhabitants of this City, ac-
cording-10 his account, being, not well disposed.
He travelled with a considerable quantity of bag-
gage, aml was accompanied by a Russian Colonel.
It is supposed, that .they are conductimigi him to -
the Isle of Elba... All his attendants are Germans,
and behave themselves very ill. They carne
,into
some of our ,public-houses; and held very
.impro-[
064-language ; but the Hungarian _Mayor, who
commands here, having threatened to chastise
them, they thought it prudent to hold their
tongues. Time whole train set off the next day.
It is said, that Jerome relied upon the assist- -
mice of the inhabitants of Nivunais, whom some
of his partisans-had:attempted to infimmente: The
peasants have not . yet recovered from the
alarm which they excited. -They thought that
they should he killed and eaten, and their
habitations Waned by
.the Allies. They told
the inhabitants that an Army of 209,000 Turks.
were coming from the Danube to invade Germany,.
and take-tbe Allies in the 'rear, while'BuoNAr;turris
was to
.attack them„in frarq, so that not one of
them would he, left olive. But the truth soon be-
gan to be known, and -the White -Cockade is ge-
nerally worn.

%Vitli respect to Joseph; he :passed the 24th
(0e ';'ay before yesterday) in bur environs. He
was treated by his conductors with respect, and
even with too -much confidence. -•It was thought
.that . he.Wavrilso going .to the Isle of Elba ; all
an a sudden he threw himself into a wood between
Desise on The -Loire and Luzy,.. and he disappeared
without. their: being able. to trace his steps. A
Colonel of Gend'armerie, rho went in pursuit of

There are several whir Matters, which very
ford _
bly strike a stranger in travelling through
all this part of France, from Calais to Paris.-
.Among others, it is not one of the least remark;
"le, that .
, except the villages and towns men-
ioned in the " Route," there is scarcely a house
to be seen on the whole war—not a single hut
9.13a0. the roar(-side; and, even . when the view
extends
over many miles_ of country, there is not
sign of population visible. Yet the ground is
tell cultivated—cultivated, as it would seem, by
enchantment ; fer there appear nowhere the ha-
bitations of its cultivators. It i; true, that be-
betave
en the coast and the capital I observed per-
71s 200 persons at work ; but they must have come
I.") a great distance to their labour, or bivouack
al4 Cossaque in the field in which they till ; for
there was often no semblance of human dwelling
within six or eight miles round.
°tight by no means to omit noticing, that in
the toils and labours of the'farm there was not
.9" Man- of vigorous age employed. The entire
%:91Ic is performed by very aged men, and chiefly
Y, women. Women drive the team, and guide the
1119411, and, manage the harrow, and dig the
:11114 Women alone are to be seen in the corn-
and vineyard; and were it not that some of
the Postillions are young men, it might be asserted
that „
toe country is utterly stripped of the strength
°f its population:
The soil of France is peCuliarly favourable for
apportionment of labour. All the
;Perations of agriculture are performed with a
aeilitY and ease unknown to our more stubborn
Sq. The plough glides gently over the surface of
the earth, scarcely turning up one-fourth of the
4Ward to the depth of an English plough ; and
this iS sufficient to procure a good crop from a
s ,•13e soil. The Harrow is a small triangle with
'"den teeth ; proof enough of the slight nature of
the service required from its passage over the
°°"(1. '
Both operations are principally exe-
t9te'l by asses, and even, in some instances, by
application. Few horses are at present
1111 Ployed in agriculture---the war bas Swallowed
1/11`liese powerful and useful animals-; and_the
Plough is consigned to two or three of the
b tighton CaNialry ;'And perhaps a waroan; or two
tI
)ilOren, supply the pkice of the horse, and drag
she harrow through the yielding and friable earth.

A Mail from St: Sebastian arrived this morning,
which brings the following intelligence

" MADRID, APRIL B.—On the sth, Gen. PALA-
FOX left Saragossa, at the head of a. Deputation,
to receive his -Majestyl, who was to arrive on the
6th. Sixty Aragonese- Ladies, dressed in white
and crowned with laurels, were to go to meet his
Majesty, and draw his coach to the entrance of.
the city. Great preparations were making for
Saturday and Easter Sunday, his Majesty being to
depart on Monday, in company .with the Infant.
Dciu CAtmos, for Valencia; the Infant DOn
ANToNio going: directly from. Catalonia to Va-
lencia.

" An Express has just brought the news of the
entrance of his Majesty in Saragossa.
" The transports of the inhabitants, and the
effusions of love and gratitude coming from; his
Majesty, are not to be described.

•" MADRID, APRIL 10.--We are very eager
fur news from the LORD, expecting to hear of a

new defeat of SOULT.

Don ANTONIO entered Valencia in the coach
of the President of the Regency. His MAJESTY
would not allow the Arragonese Lak;:es to draw

his coach.

" The King is to enter Valencia on the lith.

"MADRID, Aim 12.—There aft 110 words in
our language to describe the transports of the
people of Saragossa at the sight of their beloved
FERDINAND, Who on his part 'could not refrain

from shedding tears of joy.
" MADRID, APRIL. 13.—The King left Sara
gossa on the 11th.
