by M. Furgue,, the ancient 'Mayor, and M. Cha-
brol, the ancient Prefect, who were to resmue

their functions the next day. Tlte allied troops
entered on the 18th. All good citizens arc filled
ith joy..
. A marriage is talked of which would powerftaly
Conti ibtire the Onion of the two most ancient
houses of turope, and which would raise again
the hopes of the French nation.
The Prince of Orange, Hereditary Prin`ce of
the has attived. His Roya't
uess went -this evening to time Opera ; he appears
to 1-avc .nearly recoyered from the effect of his
(-round. All the inhabitants of Holland and the
LOW Countries see, in the brilliant qualities. 'of
this young nian, the guarantee of the happiness
which they will contintre to enjoy nuder his Go.:

verumeuit.

l3esides the army assembled beyond the Loire,
Many Generals and privhte corps have sent their
submission to the King : We particularly remark
those of Gens. Yiret and Mouton Duvernet. The
latter.commanded at 'Lyons., and mts one the
most determined Members of the Chamber of
Representatives ; he continued on thellth July to
guarantee to the Lyonese the success of the most
noble of resistances.

The Minister of Way has also received the sub-
mission of Marshal Stichet in the name of the
Generals; Officers, and Sub-officers of the corps
d'armee under.
,his command ; those of Count
Leval, Commandant of Dunkirk—Baron Fait-
cornet, Commandant of the National Guards
there—Field Marshal Desnoyers, Commander in
Chief of the Aire, &c:&c. &c.

The new Prefects are to go to their destinations
before the end of the present week.

We said upon the faith o► Several. Journals, that
a contribution 'of war to the amount. of one
hundred millhms I►ad been demanded of the city
of Paris by the Prussians, and that the King
hail obtainedr he diminution of it to 8 millions.—
This contribution has not been demanded ; hat
several of those most` liable to contributions in
Paris\ were assembled to advise upon the means
of assisting to supply the Armies with the
means of subsistence ih the Capital, and upon the
advice of a Commission composed of five of thoie
liable to contributions; it has been decreed, for
the purpose of attaining the end in view, that
there should be iamicdhitely raised in money,
in the fora► of Requisitions addressed to
.the
principal bankers, money-brokers, notaries, B.e.
a sum of eight millions, which they should
cause to be advanced, but afterwards' to levy that
sum upott,the different inhabitants according to
their respective means. It appeared equally cer-
tain; that for the future, contributions Of war in
money will not .be exacted by:any one of the
Allied Powers singly; and thatthis'kind of con-
tribution' if it be demanded,swill be in the itiin►e
and for the profit of the Whole Powers, in the
way.that they may concert with the King..
The'enormous contribution ititposed upon Ver-
sailles has not hindered the inhabitants from giv-
ing themselves up to transports of joy, when they
heard from three of the body guards on the 4th
inst. that the King was not far distant from his
Capital; they immediately assnmed the white
cocka:le. The white flag was hoisted on the Castle
and Town-hall, and all the hom'es were sponta-
neously illuminate:l.

he considered the news to he official !

Marshal Ney quitted Lyons on' the 12th .te re-
tire to Setteriarni. Lie was several time par-
stied hat i'l cries of, " Mum with the
Traitor 1."

'('lie principal proprietors of the Department of
'Charente, fearing lest the couriers who carried
the ordonnances of the King mightbe intercept-
ed by the authorities of Buonaparte, went on the
Bth 'July to Angoideine, to the number of 28 per-
sons. The Prefect being informed of their arrival
ordered them to depart frouLthe city, 'and caused
two pieces of cannon, loaded with cannister shot
to be placed before the 'house which they occu-
pied, and which lie also Caused to he snrrOunded
by gendarmerie and fed rc'. Resolved eithe'r
die, or to let The inhabitants of Angouleme know
the return of 'their King to his capital, they re-
fused the orders of the Prefect, but with such
moderation and firmness that he thirst not attack
them. They remained in this situation till the
ith at two in the morning., the moment at which
the persons with Whom they corresponded CUB-.
veyed to them the Moniteur of the Bth.
• They then all mounted their horses, and re-
paired to the Prefecture,. shouting—" Five la
Roil" At this moment a King's Messenger ar-
rivvi at AngotilLore, in the custody of two gen 7
d'aride.s, who were ordered by General Clausel to
conduct him to the head-quatters of the army of
the Loire, at Orleans. This Messenger had 'been
charged by her 'Royal Flightless Aladame the Du-
chess, with a mission to General Claitsel, who, so
tar from listening to the. propositions which
might hitee saved -the Sont lit!rit Provinces from the
horrors of a uivit and foreign war, caused the
Messenger to be sent front brigade to brigade.
The people of Angottleme ail at once liherated

at the same dine display&l front every. window iu

Buotta.pa'rie's Prefect instantly laid down his
