FRENCH PAPSRS.

JtiLY 3.-I'htg morning at eight
the re-peetive armies were in rhe )I.eSetu,.e. of each
other, ours in the plain Of Grim. Ic, the enemy's
in the plain beyond 'ikiernion The L'aglish
Prussians,•who had passed the night in entrench-
ing theinselves in the woods of Mendon and Ver.
riere's,' advanced this morning. tow.tais the vil-
lages of Vanvres and 1-sy. About "eleven o'clock
part of the cavalry of the guard,'whieh was en-
camped upon the Champ de Mar'z, adVaticed by
the left 'bank of the- Seine tot?alds 'the positions
occupied by the enemy. 'On cash slide, the dispo-
Sitions of the troops appeared to' be finished at
mid-day; theline was formed opposite to each
other. Many persons, from curiosity, went this
evening to the heights of 'Chaillot, from whence
we- could plainly perceive the French and the
enemy's camp : every one It-kith's telescope. The
white flag waved on the steeples of the vii-.
lages occupied by the Allies.- Their troops lined
the hills ; ours were formed in the plain, at a
very short distance front them. We expected they
would come to blows in the course of the day ;
but it appears that a suspension of hostilities was
agreed upon between the two armies, in order to
commence negociations, from which the happiest
Tesult,is.o-xpeeted. Immediately after the Officers
and soldiers of both parties fraternized and drank
together.
_ The following fact was communicated to us at
a time when, notwithstanding the liberty of the
press, we feared to'make it known :
" On the 3tl of May last, the eve of the anni-
versary of the King's entry into Pails, thirty mer-
chants of his good city presented themselves at
Ghent, at the house of Monsieur, the King's
brother, in the uniform of the National Gaatd,
and entreated him to conduct them to his Ma-
jesty, to offer, in the name of their corps, to
take the duty of the Palace-on the following%day:
The Prince received them with kindness, and
wearing the same uniform, apptared at their head
before the King, whose gratitude.and satisfaction
it islmpossible to describe.. He was Moved even
to tears, and having embraced all, immediately
gave up to them all the posts of the Palace with-.
mit distinction. They communicated this fact
with the greatest eagernesS to all their comrades,
repeating the words of his Majesty, " 1 think I
see in you the whole Natioual Guard of toy good
city of Paris." •

• Fr
he Provisional Government has given orders
that all the Eng Pull detaiped by l3uonaparte may
return to England.
:Whatever some Journals may report, it appears
certain that many '+llembers of the- Charn►bcr of
Representatives, wise and moderate mcn, have
agitated the question of the propriety of resigning
their seats, and.they might have argued tl►e point
so as not to lust the esteem and respect of th,lir
constituents.

JVLY 4.—Gener,:: Bianchi :has been no-
,rnina.ked by King Ferdinand„Duke ot.Capua, with
an ;initual revenue of 6,000 ducats.
It appears certain that it is at Rochefort, and
tint at Cherbourg., that Napoleon will embark.—
On the 3Chh ult. three carriages belonging to his
suite, and several .he ivy laden wagons, passed
through chartreT on their. way to Vendome.,
The chateau of Malmaison, and Marshal Mas.
sera's country-house at Rue!, have been pillaged
by the Prussians.

In virtue of the Convention signed yesterday,
the French tro►►ps will retire beyond the Loire
and Marne, and the allied troupi will to-morrow
occupy Paris,

Tfij report of VerNailles baring been gi►en
up to pillage for two hours is tale.
The surrender of Hanbeuge is talked of as
certain.

" The army wishes,, the Marshals. demand."—.
Such are the expressions used 'for some days in
the Chamber of Deputies ; and tl►e Deputies ap-
plauded them. Far from us be the anti-French•
idea of calumniating our warriors. We render
just homage- to their unshaken courage; we la-
ment the fall of their brave companions in arms ;
we hope every: thing from their patriotic zeal ;
but the greater our admiration of them, the more
incumbent upon us is it to tell the►u the truth.
The function of the army is to• act, not to delibe-
rate. If the different .bodies of the-State do not
possess distinct attributes, the -dissolution of the
State is not very distant.

CIIANIBEIt OF PEERS.-SITTING OF,JuNE 30.

The Minister took occasion to correct an error
of yesterday :—" It was not said, (observed the
Minister) that Napoleon would not embark until
passports had arrived;. the words were, that'he
would embark, but not set sail until his passports
had arrived—this ‘vas,very differeut."

Thibadeau—" I nut anthorised to announce
to the Chamber, that a dispatch hots been received
front the Duke of. Albufera, which states, that
after a glorious affair for the French arms, he has
concluded an armistice with General Bubna. I
am also ordered to announce to von, that the
treaty a peace with La Vend6e has been signed."

Yesterday Divine Service ivas performed at carl-
ton. Rouse by the Rev. F. W. BLOMBERG, and the
Rev. J. S. CLARKE.

The Dublin 'Theatre was on Monday last
crowded almost to suffocation, to witness a per-
formance for the benefit of distressed Freema-
sons. On this occasion an ar-rangement was
made on the stage for the accommodation of the
diclerentLo,lges of that City. The brethren ap-
peared in their OH clothing, the officers with
their. ewels, and in the centre of the -stage was
placed the throne, on which the Duke of LEIN-
sTER, tile Grand Master, was seated.
