Paris
Papers to the 2titli ult. (last Saturday)
have reached Town, and furnish us with a few
.‘e:ctracts, important only from their unimportance.
Pre have reason to believe, that Papers of the
26th have also arrived, at least Letters of that
clktte have been received. One of the Minor Pa-
pers of the last-mentioned date contains a cu-
11')us article, namely, a sort of implied recog-
l'itien of the independance of Holland.. This indi-
.reet acknowledgment is found in a paragraph which
'Matinees the intended marriage of the fleredi-
tarY Prince of ORANGE, son of the Sovereign of
1411atirl, to the Princess CHARLOTTE Of WALES.
41Ie arrival and departure of the English Mes-
• erl4ers, too, is mentioned in these Papers with
great minuteness and all the " pomp of circum-
ist'lnee," evidently with- the view of keeping alive
't hopes of peace in the breasts of the peo-
Pie
ti • This alone ought to convince us of
irnpolicy of carrying on any longer
:a farce (for such it now is) of negocia-
-144 et Chatillon, which we are firmly per-
yea contributes more than all other causes
A 2 together, to prevent that rising in France
kb would at once hurl the Despot to his ori-
"1/41 insignificance.
rtlr regard to these French papers,. either the
4 14
118ian Editors are uninformed of the situation
unztApAarz, or they are not permitted to
;Inthunicate what they do know. Whichever
ithese is the case, the conclusion to be drawn
s host favourable to our hopes. It the Usurper
becult °lf from Paris, then,must his military career
tin:4Nved in the utmost peril, and the Philis-
bit:i3 are upon the modern Samson of Jaco-
re,sril• If, on the other hand, he can freely con-
-I:P°l'd with the Capital, and has not done any
lig upon which he dare even trump up a false-
(la't to delude the wretched inhabitants of
;411cei then must his affairs be in a still more des-
:ate state than would attach to the former suppo-
ttiOhl• Ftror if environed by foes, he might, by a for-
:late soke break through their toils, and for a
1114ent partially retrieve his falling fortunes : but if
is- °ely opposed to one part of the Allied Army, and
ollredtteed to passive operatioos, there is nothing
ia earth that can interpose to save him from his
Zitahle doWyfal. •
pa 4'41 some intimations thrown out in these
we should not be surprized to hear that
)1e Grand Allied Army had again advanced from
li4LBur-Aube, in co-operation with Marshal
tfLlic"a, also marching upon the Capital by
a e I\jarne• If so, this is the first time that
Carultaneous movement of this nature has
Nell attempted. Meanwhile, Paris is harass-
almost all sides, and Must suffer dread-
-1.4! !ram want of supplies. Still they
are are manu-

Tz. strange story is afloat respecting Lord CAS-
d .48Aq}./ ; it is said that BUONAPARTE has OT-
: re(l
pi et armis, to Paris. Dispatches
ve been received from IN
Lord WELLINGTON, but
their contents have not yet transpired here. A let-
et from an Officer of high rank in his Lordship's
trint,
the .1, received a few dayS ago, states, that from
most
accurate estimate he could form, the de-
trtien from SOULT'S Army, after the battle of

Orthi es,exceeded 16,000 men,and that universal
was the cry for the restoration of the BouanoNs,
that ninety-nine persons outof every hundred whom
he conversed with, declared that nothing short of
the complete annihilation of BUONAPARTE would
satisfy them ; and they ttlasted, that as the Duke
D'AtioouLEmz had been brought amongst them
by the English, he would receive their most cor-
dial assistance and co-operation.
" The Funds are a little better—tbe annexed is
nearly the price :

Ornnium for Payment 10, 11k, 1 lb
" Consols, 62, 624,
" 5 per Cents, 901, 91,
" Exchequer Bills, ss. dis.
" India Bonds, 2s. 3s. dis."

Upon the above we shall only observe, that we
consider nearly the whole as entitled to credit. If
we have any doubts, it is on the subject of the
Compulsion of our Ambassador—but there is no
crime too intfamous for BUONAPARTE tO Commit.—
The letter from Lord WELLINGTON'S Army de-
serves implicit credit, as it is derived from one of
the most distinguished and able Generals in the
British service. He says " NOTHING CAN PRE-
VENT THE SUCCESS OP THE BOURBONS."

We have continued this day our exclusive Ex-
tracts from German Papers, among which will be
found a very dreadful estimate, of the sacrifice of
human lives to which the ambition of her accursed
Ruler has doomed France for the List two years.
One million three hundred thousand Frenchmen have
been raised by the conscription in that time ; and
if we look at the existing state of the. Enemy's
force preceding 1812 and now, we may say ALL
THAT NUMBER HAVE PERISHED No country can
support, no people can endure such exhaustion
and wretchedness.

'We are happy to learn from Frankfort, that all
the differences among the Swiss Cantons are ar-
ranged, and that these brave mountaineers are on
the eve of heartily joining the Coannon Cause.

Some of our contemporaries amuse themselves,
and their readers, with fancying terms of peace
offered and rejected at Chatillon. For ourselves,
we profess never to hear from places whence there
are no arrivals.

Yesterday some further accounts reached us
from Holland. Another attempt has been made
by the garrison of Antwerp to plunder the adja-
cent country, hi a situation not within the cir-
cuit of the besieging forces. The brave peasantry
successfully repelled the .attack, and as a mark of
confidence for their spirit a.nd enterprize, they
have been provided with arms, and are in progress
of organization.

It was reported yesterday that Rennes, the
capital of Brittany, has declared for the DOUR-.
BONS, and hoisted the white cockade.
Princess CHARLOTTE, attended by the Duchess
of LEEDS, visited her MAJESTY and the PRIN-
CESSES at the QUEEN'S Palace.
Yesterday the Earl of LIVERPOOL and Viscount
SIDMOUTH had audiences of the PRIgCE REGENT.
Considerable failures arc apprehended, in eon-
quence of the rapid depression of the Funds. One
house, but not of the first consequence, was yes-
terday dcclared in a state of embhrhsstnent.
A Naval Gentleman, who was lately liberated
by the Cossacks, says, be had been a prisoner for
ten years ; but upon being removed front one
derta to another, he had been liberated by a
party of Cossacks ; and through many towns in
France and French Flanders which he passed, and
particularly the town of Sedan, where the manu-
factory for making the best black cloth is carried
on, and .where upwards of 10 millions of francs
worth of cloth, were hid in the different caves, he
says the general cry was for the BOURBONS ; and
that when any of BUONAPARTE'S military left the
towns, it was the determination of the inhabi-
tants to defend them against re-occupation by the
troops of the tyrant."
The Earl of AYLESBURY, says a Morning Pa-
per, we are concerned to state, is too danger-
ously ill for the probability of his recovery.
Lieutenant-Colonel Baron OF. MONTALEMBERT,
Permanent Assistant Quarter Master General, is
ordered to join the army under the command of
Lord WM. BENTINCK. The Baron takes his de-
parture in a very few days, by the way of Holland.
It appears from the German papers that the
daughter of the brave Hetman PLATow, whose
existence has been denied by the omniscient Edi-
tors of some of our English Journals, 'has been
for some time resident at Basle.

SUGARS.—The price of this article is already on
the decline, and, from the large importation ex-
pected in May next, must then fall considerably.
A claim has been made by the husband of Mrs.
BISHOP (who was killed lately in consequence of
the fall of a Louse at Glasgow, as formerly stated),
against the proprietor of the building, for 13001.
on account of the loss of his wife.

The receipts, on Tuesday evening, for the relief
of the relatives of the killed and wounded on board
the Eurotas, amounted to more than 501. at the
Plymouth Theatre.
COLONEL DE BOURGIL-The Sub-Committee
of the Stock Exchange get. on piece=meal in their
discovery of this gentleman—they have got his

DISF.I7CHES FROM LORD WELLINGTON.

" WAR DEPARTMENT, DOWNING-STREET, APRI L 1.
" Dispatches have been received from the

Marquess of WELLINGTON, dated Tarbes, March
20. The Enemy collected his forces at Conchez

on the 13th, but on the 15th be retired to Lem-

beg, leaving outposts towards the former place.
"Ld WELLINGTON having been joined by detach-
ed troops and his reserves of cavalry, moved on the

18th instant against the French army. Marshal

SOULT retreated before the Allies to Vic Bay-

gorey and Tarbes, A strong rear-guard attempt-
ed to make a stand near the former town, upon
the 19th, but were driven through it in_ a gallant

manner by the 3d division.

" SmuLT assembled his forces on the morning
of the 20th,. in a position of which the town of

Tarbes formed a part. Lord WELLINGTON marched,

in two columns to attack this position, from which

the Enemy retreated in all directions, after having

suffered much loss from the attacks made by the
Sixth and Light Divisions, which distinguished

themselves.

" Lord WELLINGTON states, that the loss of

the Allies in these affairs has been inconsiderable,

and he has not transmitted any returns. His H
Lordship's army encamped on the night of the
20th on the Larzet and the Larroz."

THIRD EDITION.

We have seen a Private Letter, of a very recent

date, from a well-informed person in Paris, from
which the following is an Extract :
" Nothing, my Friend, can exceed the distress
and misery to which this City is reduced. Con-
sternation and despair reign in every quarter ; and
the wretchedness we endure is only surpassed by

the. apprehension of still greater evil's. From being
a starved, our only prospect is to become a sacked
City, unless, which God grant,. some fortunate
event arises to redeem us from the abyss into
which we have been plunged.

" The populace have long spoken very freely on

the. affairs of the Government. In order to

sooth them and allay the ferment in the public

mind, NAPOLEON has declared, that the terms
of Peace offeed to him by the Allies were so

humiliating that it was impossible to accept of
them. Notwithstanding this, he thought it his
duty to send them to the Senate for their consi-

deration:'

We have also at this moment seen another let-

ter frotn' the opposite coast--from BOULOGNE.
—lt mentions that the head Quarters of 800-

NAPARTE ' were on the 24th at Vatry, about

one third of the way from Chalons, on the

Marne, to Arcis stir Aube. That an action

had taken place, i❑ which the French, '' Coquin

toujours heureux," bad a horse killed under him.
This affair is not, however, spoken of as a general
battle, but as of minor importance. From this
we may fairly infer that the enemy was defeated.
A Great BATTLE was immediately expected to
take place.

It is said that BUONA.PARTE had since arriv-
ed at St. Dizier, and was continuing to advance.
—St. Dizier is fifteen miles south-east from
Vitry, and above 30 cast from Vatry. As BLUC HER
Was also advancing from Rheims, it is evident that
his force must beinterposed between BUONAPARTE
and Paris. What the Tyrant's object is in thus
leaving the Capital open it is impossible for us,
in the present state of our information, to de-
termine.

AUGEREAU, reinforced by the Catalonian Army,
was at Chalons-sur-Saone. This is a great way
from Geneact

It would be a most remarkable manceuvre were
BuotqApARTE • and AUGEREALT. to endeavour to
form a junction in the rear of the Allied Armies
—between them and the Rhine.

It is also, in this Letter, confidently said that
the Congreess at chatillop would inevitably ter-
minate on the 28th.

Another very considerable failure on the Stock
Exchange was declared this morning.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, THURSDAY, MARCH 31.

The Legal Quays Bill was read a second time, and ordered
to be committed to-morrow.
The Writs of Assistance Bill was committed, and reporte,.!.

CLERGY PENALTIES.
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY moved the se-
cond reading of the Clergy Penalties Bill, stating
that the enactment was to continue for a month
longer for the suspension of proceedings against
the Clergy for non-residence.
The Bill was read a. second time, and or !wed
to be cominitted to-morrow. -
The ACirtpiis of LAN-snowNE asked; whether it
was the intention to state to-morrow the grounds
upon which this Bill rested.

The Archbishop of .CANTERnURY, stated, that
he had, conf-luded that the grounds were already
before their .Lordships. This was merely the con.-
titillation of a 'bill brought in during the earlier
part of the session, to suspend certain prOccedings
at Jaw against some of the Clergy for non-resi-
dence, till it. could be ascertained whether some
further ultimate relief ought not to be given to '
the Church.

•
Lord LAUDERDALE moved, that certain ac-
counts which had been presented relative to the
amount of Lank-notes in circuletion, &c.
be printed for the use of the Members of that
House. Ordered .—A Adjourned.
