FLANDERS MAIL.

FLOnENCE, INl.tacn Holiness arrived
here last night, having quitted Rome on the.22d.
Before his departure he established a Junta, of
which Cardinal SEnnAGLIN is President, and or-
dered tr:o Proclamations to be published, stating
the reasons_ of this resolution. The Grand Duke
himself received his Holiness on his entering the
Palace Pitto,
and accompanied him to his apart-
mews. The day of his arrival the whole Court
paid their respects to him, ,and * numerous crowd
collected this morning in the square before the
Palace Pitto to receive his benediction. By cer-
tain accounts from Rome all was tranquil in th'e
environs of that capital, as well as on the fron-
tiers of Naples. , The Neapolitan troops had not
yet passed Terraeina.
The first proclamation states that his Holiness,
l acquainted with the fact that the Neapo-
liitirtg ti:onps daily approached nearer to his fron-
tiers, did not, however, fear any thing,. because
he was at peace with all the world. The demand
Of the Neapolitans were to be allowed to march
two Divisions, one by. Toni, the other by the
environs of Rome, in order to join them at An-
cona, under pretence that the road through the
Ahruzzis-is impassable, caused some uneasiness.
His Holiness refused this demand positively,. for
many reasons ;_ yet he has the sorrow to learn,
dug the Neapolitan.troops have begun to violate
the neutrality of the peacehil 'Roman territory.—
His Holiness therefore protests against this vio,
lation, renewing also his protest against the oc-
cupation of the Marches. To mark his refusal
more strongly, he thinks it hii duty to retire for
a time front his Capital," to a city near • his.do-
minions:

The second Proclamation, signed also. by Can-
dinal Yana, merely announces this step, and the
formation of the Junta.

MILAN, APRIL Proclamation of Count
Bejlepple, announces the establishment of a
Special Tribunal. •
It is said that the Pope is going to Genoa.,
VIENNA, APRIL 3.—The King -of Saxony has
not ratified the partition treaty in respect of Na-
ples : the decision is affirmed to be in favour of
KingJoachini. On the arrival of Captain flu.
delka and of the two Neapolitan couriers, the
Congress has decided, with the approbation of
Russia-and Prussia, that Joachim shall.. keep the
papal Marches -Count .Neipi.erg, -who concluded
the Treaty with Naples last year, is gone to An-
cona ; it may be taken for granted, that he has
extensive powers to conclude a definitive alliance.
Two large armies will, however, be formed in
lialp---one in Tuscany, and one near Alexandria.
The latter will be under the command of General
Baron Hiller, and will probably march towards
ProVeuce.,

which was intended for his En•ison.
- And when the Allied Powers; yielding to the
imprudent. wishes, to the cruel imporhmities of
the House of Bourbon, had condescended to vita.-
late the solemn contract, on the faith of which
Napoleon had released the French nation from its
oaths ; when himself and the membe-rs of his fa-
thily saw themselves threatened, attacked in their
persons, in their property, in their affeetions‘ in
the rights stipulated in their favour,, as Princes,
even in those rights secured by the liws to simple
citizens, what could Napoleon do
Ought he, atter having endured so many af-
fronts, supported so many injuries, to have con-
sented to the complete violation of the engage-
ments made with him, and resigning himself per-
sonally to the lot which was prepared for him,
abandon once more his wife, his son, his family,
his faithful servants, to their frightful destiny
Such a resolution appears above human strength; I,
and yet Napoleon would have taken it, if peace
and the happiness of France had been the price of .
this new sacrifice. He would have. devoted him- ,
self again for the French people, of whom, as he
wishes to declare to Europe, he makes it his glory
to. hold every thing ; to whom he wishes .to.-ascribe.
every thing, to whom alone he wishes to answer
for all his actions, and to devote his life.
It was for France alone, and to avert front it
the misfortune of civil war, that he abdicated the
Crown in 1814. He restored tc? the French
people the rights which he held of then) ; he left
is free to choose for itself a new Monaych, and to
establish its liberty and its happiness on institu-
tions which might protect both.
He hoped for the nation the preservation of all
which he had acquired by 25 years of combats arid
of glory, the exercise of its sovereignty in the
choice of a dynasty, and in the stipulation of the
conditions on which it would be called upon to
reign.

He expected from the new Government respect
for the glory of the armies, the rights of the
brave, the guarantee of all the new interests, of
those interests which had risen and been main-
tained for a quarter of a century, resulting from
all the laws political and civil observed, revered
during this period, because they were identified
with the manners, the habits, the wants of the
nation.

Far from that, all idea of the sovereignty of the
people was discarded.

The principle nn which all legislation, political
and civil, since the Revolution had rested, was
equally discarded.

France has been treated by'the Bourbons like
a revolted country, reconquered by the arms of
its ancient mastets, and subjected anew to a feudal.
dominion.

Louis Stanislas Xavier did not recognise the
Treaty which alone made the Throne of France
vacant, and the abdication which alone permitted
him to ascend it.

He pretended to have reigned 19 years, thus
insulting both the Governments which had been
established in this period,. and the people who had
consecrated them by its suffrages, and the army
which had defended them, and even the Sove-
reigns who had recognized them in their numerous
treaties.

A chdrter digested by the Senate, all imperfect
as it was, was thrown into oblivion.

There was imposed on France a pretended con-
stitutional law, as easy to elude as to revoke, and
in the form of simple Royal .Decrees, without
consulting the nation, wiaiont hearing even those
bodies become illegal, phantoms of the national
representation. .

And as the Bourbons passed ordinances without
right, and promised tvit hoot guarantee, they
eluded without good faith, and executed without
fidelity:

The violation of the pretended Charter was re-
strained only by the timidity of their Government;
the extent of tjit abuses of power was only con,
firmed by its creakness.

The dislocation of the army, the dispersion of
its officers, the exile of many of them, the degra-
tion of the soldiers, the suppression of their en-
dowments, their. deprivation of pay and half-pay,
the reduction of the salaries of legionaries, their
being stripped of their honours, the pre-eminence
of the decorations of the feudal Monarchy, the
contempt oftitizens, designated anew by the Third
Estate, the'prepared and already commenced spo-
liation of the purchasers of national property, the
actual depreciation of that which they were obliged
to sell, the return of feudality in its titles, its
privileges, its lucrative rights, the re-establishment
of ultramontane principles, the abolition of the li-
berties of the Galilean Church, the annihilation of
the Concordat, the restoration of tithes, the into-
lerance arising front an exclusive religion, the
domination of a handful of Nobles over a people
accustomed to equality,--such was what the
Bourbons either dill or wished to do for France.
It was, under such circumstances that the Em-
peror Napoleon quitted the Isle of Elba; such
were the motives of - die *termination which he
took, and not the consideration of his personal
interests, so weak with him, compared with' the
int'tuests of the nation to. which he hak conse-
crated his existence.

He did not bring war into the bosom -of France;
on file contrary, lie extinguished the war which
the .proprietors of national property, forming four
fifths of French landholders, would have been
'relied to make on their spoilers ; the war which
the citizens, oppressed, degraded, humiliated
Nobles, would have been compelled to declare
against their oppressors ; the war which Pro-
testants, Jews, men of Various religious, would
have been compelled to sustain against their per-
secutors.

_He came to deliver France; and was received as
a Deliverer.

lie arrived almost alone ; he traversed 220
leagues without opposition, without combats, and
resumed without resistance, amidst the capital,
and the acclamations of an immense majority ok.
the citizens, the Throne deserted by the Bour-
bons, who, in the Army, in their• nousehold,
among the National Guards, were i„able to
arm
an individual to attempt to maintain theirs there.
And yet, replaced at the head of the nation,
which had already chosen him thrice, which has
just desiznated hint a fourth time by the reception

it gave him in his rapid And trutnip ant ma:4l
anal arrival,—of that nation by which, and for
the interest of-which he,means to reign, what is
the wish of Napoleon ?
That which the French people wish—the inde-
pendence Of• France, internal peace, peace with all
natifins, the execution of the Treaty of Pails, of
the 30th of May, 1514.
What is there then changed in the state of En-.
rope, and in the hope of repose it had promised
itself? What voice is raised ,to demand brat suc-
cour which, accdrding.to the Declaration, should
be only given When clainietP

There.has been multing changed—should the
Allied Polders return, as we are bound to expect
they will, to just and moderate sentiments, if they
admit that the existence of France in a respecta-
ble and independent situation, as_ far removed from
conquering as from being conquered, front &intr.-
nating as from being enslaved, is necessary to the
balance of great kingdoms; and to the security of
small states:

There has been nothing, changed—if respecting
the rights of a great nation which wishes to re-
spect the rights of all,otkers, which, proud and
generous, has been lowered, hut never debased,
it be left to resume a Monarch, and to give itself
a constitution and laws sidled to its manners, its
interests, its habits, and its r •:" wants.

There is nothing chaliged—if not attempting to
compel France to resume a dynasty which it no
longer wishes, feudal chains wiiich it has broken,
and to .submit to seignorial and ecclesiastical
claims from which it has been liberated, it is not
wished to impose upon it laws, to intent-re:ldle
with its internal affairs, to assign it a form of Go-
vernment, to give it masters in conformity to the
interests or the passions of its neighbours.
There is nothing changed,—if •while-France is
occupied 'in preparing the new social compact
which shall guarantee the liberty of its citizens,
the triumph of the liberal ideas which prevail in
Europe, and can no longer be stifled, it be not
forced to withdraw itself, in order •to combat,
from those pacific ineditations and means of in-
tertil prosperity to which the people and their
head, wish to devote thcmselvei in,,happy accor-
dance.

There has been nothing changed,—if, when the
French nation asks only to remain at peace with
all Europe, no unjust coalition do not compel it,
as it did in 1792, to defend its will and its rights,
its independence, and the Sovereign of its choice.

28th March.

There is also a Proclamation addressed, by Da-
voust (Prince d'Eckmuhl) to those military called
to rejoin their standards.

On opening the Repositories of M. de Blacas,
at his apartments its the Thuillcries, his most
secret papers were found. They contained many
docoments whicl►. would hare compromised a
great number of public characters. His Majesty
had no desire to see these documents, and by his
orders they ..v.ere'immediately burnt.. None were
preserved excepting those that relaled to public
business. We tq.:e about to communicate some of
them to our readers ; they will show the spirit of
intrigue which. particularly actuated several mem-
bers of the Provisional Government, and will
furnish evidence of the manoeuvres employed to
deceive some corps, and the perfidy with which
they were treated after having been abused.
Then follow- the documents.

The Ist is a Methoire in the hand-writing of the
Abbe Montesquiou. It consists of reflections on
the most proper course to be pursued by the
King on
.his entrance into France to resume the
reins of Government; The opinion of.M. Talley-
rand is stated to be, that the King, on entering
the country, should publish an Edict, declaring
his intentions, and his entrance on the exercise of
the functions of sovereignty; not to suppose the
limits within which it 'may be confined by the
Constitution, but to come as if nothing had hap-
pened: The Abbe states, that this had always
been his own opinion as to the course of conduct
which the King ought to pursue, only that it'would
be necessary that his Majesty should, at the
same time, publish the privileges of the nation,
,and convoke a Legislative Body—either the one
then in existence, or one composed of new De-
puties. Talleyrand is said not to have thought

this of so much importance; but the state .►f the
finances decided the Abbe, as a loan of 200 mil-

lions was required, which could not be looked for
from any other quarter than England, and for the
purpose of giving it the best guarantee, it would
be necessary to convoke the Legislative Body.
Another advantage of proceeding, independently
of any Constitution, is stated tohe, that it would
give the King all the merit of the privileges which
he might grant to the nation. The characters of
some of the Senators are then commented on;
some more arguments in favour of the convoca.
tion of the Legislative Body, and a sketch of the
plan Which ought to be pursued in constituting
it. It is finally his opinion, that nothing better
can be done than the publication of a Declara-
tion full of goodness and generosity, imme
diately on the entrance of the King into
France ; and that in this Declaration he should
not call himself King of France and Navarre; but
that it should be merely entitled, Edict of the King.
The McmoirTis concluded with an eulogium on
Messrs. Becqtiet and Royer, who are recommend-
ed to be employed by his Majesty.

Then follows a Letter from the Abh Montcs-
quiou to the King, apologising for not meeting
his Majesty at Amiens but promising to meet
him at Compeigne. He recommends it to. his
Majesty not to mention either the Constitution or
the Senate in his Dechwation ; but merely, in
speaking of the loss of the ancient Institutions,
to state, thatibe Monarchy of France had always
been limited.

The next ilocument is another very long Me-
moire of the Abb:;. Montesquiou to the King, on,
the subject of the Constitution. He traces the
history of it, for the purpose of proving that it
was framed by persons who had .no right or atto
thority conferred on them for that•purpose. The
public are said to be dissatisfied with it, and the
Republican Party represented as very active in
