littussht.s, Jut.v I.—The Royalist Frencb
(k-
-neral Bourmont has made an incursion in the Dty-
partment Of the North, which has been attended
with complete success ; the white flag is fiyin4 on
all the communes along tae coasts. The people
haVe every where taken arms, and voluntarily
declared themsei-res :in a state of insurrection
against the pretended convert of the Isle of Llba,
who. after having destroyej French kiherty, sup-
pressed.the Tribunate, expelled the Legislative
Body, C. pretends *, be willing to combat in
earnest for •the ex-liberty and - equality of the
ri-de;:ant Republic, .which he annihilated, After
hlring combated for it. foi• 'natty years. The
Royalist Army in the North of France occupied,
on the 26th, Arun:Wks-es and Esteires. The in-
surrection is on the point of breaking out at
Lille; the Prefect and the Commandant can hardly
contain the inhabitants, who loudly demand the
virtuous Louis XVlll.—On the 26th, the-re was
an enl:agement at Pont-.tti-Mareq,•in the environs
of Lille, between sonic fe;leris, joined to some
douaniers and some- Hanoverian hussars; twenty
lederis were kiiied ; those which could not fly,
Awl woold not throw thiwn their arms, were
sahred. Two fedcris,one of them wounded, who
could not follow their comrades, have been'
brought to-Couttray ; miue of; the hussars were
wounded.

It. is affirmed, and the report is generally spread,
that the two Chambers of Paris have recognised
Louis XVIII.---that the Allies had made their se-
cond entry into ►hat capital—and that Boonaparte
had fled towards Havre de Grace, whence it is
supposed he would go to sonoi America.
The Ki►ig of France has lett Cambray,to repair
to Con!p'6gne ; before he departed he addressed
to the French nation the following

i'ROCLAiII ' TION.
" THE KING TO THE FRENCH.

The gates of my kingdom at length open befo:,
I hasten, I hasten to recal thy deluded subjects; to soften the
evils I wished to prevent, to place myself once more between
the Allied Al mies and the French; in the hove that the re-
gard, of which I map be the object, will to their welfare.
It is the only manner in which I have chosen to share hi the
_war. I, have not permitted any Prince of my family to ap-
pear in the ranks of the foreigners, and I have kept down the
*mirage of those of my setrwits,, 'who had been able to range
themselves round me.

' • " Returned to the soil of my country, I tube pleasure in
sptAing confider:6;oly to my people. When I re-appeared
among them I found their minds agitated and hurried away
by contrary passions. The eye beheld.,- on every side, only
difficulties and obstacles. It was probable my Government
might commit faults; perhaps-- it has. done so. , There are
times when the purest intentions do nut sullice to guide,
when they sometimes even mislead.

" Experience alone can warn ; it shall not be lost. I de-
Sire every thing timt 'fan save F4mce.
" 2lp subjects hare learned, by cruel trials, that the prin-
ciple of the legitima:y of Sol creigns is the soul of the funda-
mental bases of social order, the only one on which a wise and
well regulated .liberty can be established among a great

people.
" This doctrine bat just been proclaimed -as that of all
Eu-
rope. 1 had fireviously consecrated it by my Charter, and I
intend to add to this' Charter• the' guarantees which may in-
sure its benefits. The unity of the Ministry is the strongest
which I can offer I intend that it shall exist, and that the
free and firm conduct (oi,rche) of my Council shall guarantee
every interest, and calm every apprehension.

" There has been much said of late of the re-establishment
of of the tithes and of feudal• rights. This fable, invented by
the common enemy, has no need of refutation ; it will not be
expected that the King 'of France should demean himself to
calumnies and falsehoodS; the success of the treason has too
clearly pointed out their source. If the possessors of national
property have conceived apprehensions, the charter ought to
have sotlieed to quiet them. Have I not myself proposed to
the Chambers, and caused to be executed sales of these
estate's ? This proof of my sincerity is unanswerable. .
" In these latter times my subjects, of 111 classes, have
given equal proofs of love and fidelity. I will have- them all
know how sensible I have been to them, and it is among all
the French that I shall take pleasure in choosing those who
are to approach toy person and my family.
" I shall exclude from my presence those men whose re-
nown is a subject of grief to France, and of dread to Eu-
rope---in the plot which they have franied, I see many of my
subjects misled, and sonic guilty.

I promise (I who hare never preMiSe& in rain, a; all
Europe knows),, to pardon to the misled French all that
passed since the day that I quitted Lille, amidst so many tears,
till this day that I. have entered Cambrity, amidst such ac-
clamations. •

" But the bliaod of my Children has flowed in this treason,
of which the annals of the world afford no example. This
treason has called the foreigners into the heart of France.
Every day reveals to use a fresh disaster. For the dignity or
soy throne; the interest of my people, and for the repose of
Europe, I must therefore except from this pardon. the insti-
gators and actors of this horrible plot: they will be pointe(i
out to the vengeance of the laws by the two Chambers, whom
I propose immediately to assemble.
" Frenchmen, such are the sentiments with which he re-
turns to you, whom time has been linable to change, misfor-
tune to fatigue, And injustice to cast down. •
The King, whose ancestors hare reigned over you fos
Eighteen centuries, rehires to dedicate the rest of his days,
to defend, to console you.
" Given at Courtray, 28th June, 1815, the 21st year of out
reign. -"
