IL-EXTTRIOR.

Under this head are stated the attempts of Buonaparte to
deceive foreign powers by hopes of Peace; While he flatters
his army with the recovery of Belgium, the natural boundary
Of the Rhine, and Italy; his pi-caching of peace, while coat-
, milting daily acts of aggression; trying, though in vain, to
seduce the Swiss regiments; promising half-pa,' to the Bel-
- ilia!) otlicers, who have erased to be subjects of France; and
insulting the Sovereign who,. himself tried by adversity, so
generously receives his illustrious cot eague in misfortune.
The question of ,fo: eigu interference..is tints
forcibly stated :
" The Allied Powers have not the right to interfere in the
afrairs of France ! No; and they themselves declare that
they do not pretend to regulate our political institutions. Bet
when the French, oppressed by a faction, see the enemy of
the•human 'race re-appear at their head, the man who carried
I fire and sword into all the nations of Europe, is it not the '
ddty of the Yovereigns to avert the new danger which
threatens them? . Who c.in trust the word of BUonaparte ?
Who willbelieve his oaths? By his pacific protestations he
wishes only to gain time :.nd collect his legions. Is it eons:
Patihle with the interest of France herself, or of the neigh-
homing States, to permit to snhsist in the centre of the ci-
vilised world, a handful of perjured military, who domineer-
ing over the very army, dispose at their pleasure of th• sceptre
of St. Louis, and confer or resume it at the pleasure of the it
cape ice? What, may a legitimate sovereign be torn from
the arms of his people by a horde of Janissaries; %s ;at, may
all Governments he placed in danger without their baring
the right to stop these acts of violence? Can what takes
place without inconvenience to Europe, among- the pirates
of Afr;ca, also he accomplished among the French, without
danger to social order? Must not as much precaution be
taken against the morals and the Mainelolees of modern
Egypt, as against the plague which comes to us from that
country? Will the Sovereigns of Russia, of Germany, of
England, of Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Sweden, and Denmark,
consent to receive, by the law of example, the crown from
the hands of their soldiers ? In- fine, are the nations who
lI
diet ish laws, peace, and liberty, determintid to-place
these blessings under the protection of military despotism ?"

• 111.—REPROAdHES MADE TO THE ROYAL GO-
VEItINMENT. ,

_ .
Under this head the reporter slims the reproaches con-
cerning lavish expenditure to be wholly groundless. The se
questration of the effects belonging to BuonaparW:s family is
justified not only by reasons of state, now but too evident, but
also because that family had debts to the amount of several
millions ; the bonds for which were in the treasury of the
extraordinary domain. ' The diamonds were aetaally the pli-
cate property of the Bourbons; but, were things otherwise,
it. was the King's duty to prevent them falling into the hands
of a traitor, and his Majesty may rather he blamed for having
left seventy-two millions in the treasury. The Bourbons are
accused of having wished to lessen the glory of the army,
and yet foreigners have accused the Emigrants of being
proud of those very victories which hindered theca front re-
turning to their country. To the charge of despotism he asks
whether Generals Erlon and Lailennuld would be still alive
had they acted under thionaparte as they did uud, r the King.
The reporter mentions as subjects of consolation, the nuwer-
ons persons of distinguished characters who are yet faithful,
some quitting the country, others wholly withdrawing fialm
public life. He highly extols the bold enterprise of the
Duke d'Augouteme. " How many misfortunes," says he,
"would our country have been spared if be could have reach-
ed Lyons." A soldier among the rebels, who saw hint in-the
midst of•the fire, said in admiration of his valour, " half
an
honr longer, and we should have cried Fire he ILA." The
vithor speaks in terms of great indignation respecting the af-
fair of Bemrdeaux, and observes, that it is enough to make
BnonaParte's Goverment execrated, that he suffered the
Duchess trAngouleme to be insulted and called a fl:r„fpious
woman—when her virtues, her misfortunes, and her courage
excited the admiration of the world.

Lrtch, MAY 15.—We haste') to publish the fol-
lowing news, which we have just received :--

News from Ghent, May 14.
It appears certain that King Zonis,, after a ge-
neral confession, .heard by Pere Elys6e, has de-
cided that to prevent Misfortunes to France and
Europe, by furnishing a pretext'for a terrible War
in which torrents of blood must be shed, that he
would renounce f‘,.r himself and his descendants
the Kingdoni of France and Navarre ! !

We are assured that Prince Lltci-en Etionaparte
.h 0.6 been appointed Member of the Chamber of
Representatives by the College of the department
of the Iscre—(Grenuble).
Public attention has been attracted for sonic
(lays R Caricature, 'representing a Cossack on
ftoystback with the Count d Lille riding on the

announce what we may call the dying agonies of despotism ;
tyranny Worn out, and on its decline, still retains the inclina-
tion to do evil, but it seems to have lost its power.".
