FRENCH PAPEUS,

[RECEIVED AT A LATE HOUR LAST NIGHT.]

PAWS, APRIL 5.--To-day his Majesty presided
at h Council of State, held at St. 'Cloud.
The last letters from Bayonne announced that
leer magnificent fusilter regiments of the 'lmperial
Geard had gassed t hrough t hat town, proceeding froM
Spain to Parie frideed searcf.ly had we received
this intelligence, when we saw those brave 'soldiers
arrive; they spread • themselves through the streets
of Inecapitale and ran, after several years absence, to
embrasie their_ friends and relations, astonished at
seeing theM in Valk, before They even" knew of
their departure from Spairt. Their movements are
not the only ones. being executed. To-day we have
received letters-from Toulouse, Rochelle, and Tou-
lon, stating that many regiments are seen passing
through these towns on their route to Spain, among
whom is the 2gth-of the line, quite cetnolate, and
particularly remarkable for its "fine appearance.—
The order and uniformity which 'prevail in these
grand movements, excite less admiration than the
prodigious and hitherto unknown rapidity with
Nvlnch these 'viaorious legions are marched from ape
extremity of Europe to the other. Such opera-
tiohs prove in a brilliant manner the power of
France, 'which, in the moment in which she has
a foltrildable army upon the banks of the Vistula,
sends more than 60 fresh battalions across the dif-
ferent. issues of the Pyrenees, to reinforce her armies
in Spain and Portugal. Never did the Roman Em-
pire, at the epoch of its greatest power, move such
:immense masses with such rapidity ; and besides,
the French Eagle, in passing the Elbe; and the
Oder, is now displayed in regions into which the
Roman Eagles never penetrated.
On the 20th of March,"there were publicly burnt
in Square Napoleon, in Leghorn, about 200,000.
francs worth of English goods.
PA U; MARCH 25..7-Some days ago. six Polish
regiments -passed through this tower They came
from Spain, and took the route for Paris. These.
were the Ist, 2d, and 3d Regiments of the Vistula,
and three other regiments .of the Grand Duchy of
Warsaw., Almost. the whole of these troops, who
have been some years in Spain, formed part of the
Army of Arregon, whose fatigues and triumphs they
have shared. We Yet remember the honourable tes-
timony which. General S'uchet .had borne of their
valour, in all the official repents published. It is not
in one battle, or one siege only, that these troops
have covered themselves with glory, Frorn Sara-
gossa to Valencia they have proved themselves wor-
thy companions in arrnS to the most veteran French
soldiers. How great was our surprise on seeing
such handsome manoeuvres, and well-clothed troops !
It is impossible for any troops to have a.more mag-
nificent appearance than those regiments, whose
exittenee" is to be dated frem the esteblishtnent of
the Grand Duchy of Warsaw'; they rival the an-
cient legioni; *and most warlike and best disciplined
soldiers of •France. These brave Men appear to re-
gret leaving Spain, the climate of which they much
like; they speak with the most sovereign contempt
of the 1-eand3 which they. name Guerillas.- .Ail is
motion in our town. Whilst on the oue side it is
encumbered with foreign
,troops returning from
Spain, and a considerable number of Spaniards, who
are to be conduled to the interior of Prance, on
the other, the speedy arrival of a great'number of
troops, proceeding from Toulouse to Spain, an-
nounced. At Perpignan several regiments ,are ex-
petted, on the same destination.

Lsouoivi, MARCH 26.—Yesterday entere4
this. town a Mahon., priViameer of 8 guns- and 37
men. This privateer was captured on the sift insf.
near Porto Vecchia (Island of Corsica), by his Ma-
jesty's golettas the Momus and Cceland.
BERLJN, MARCH 21.—The inhabitants of this
capital remark with pleasure, that, for some time,
his Majesty is less given to grief, and enjoys some
diversions. He assists at assemblies and concerts,
and went to a ball given to the Pvincess Dowager
Of _Orange.

BLICHARUST, Fen. 29.—Gentral Count I.,angeron
arrived here -on the 27th from Gturgewo. At his
departure thence [be Danube was 'completely
frozen.---A Courier arrived from P,eter•ieurgh- has
brought to Generals Langeon, Spss, and E-sin, 'the
Cross of Wladimer, Ist class,- as a recompence for
the distinguished Services they rendered -last cam-
paign.
MARCH 4.—The -Turkish P'..-nipotetitiaries are
still here. Some days ago 17-!-ve,d here a courier,
sent by the fatlietof Ischapaa Q4gin to Ifs son, and

immediately a report was spread that it was a con-
tier firm]) the Divan. Ischapan Oglu sent his son
100,000 piastres, which he. hiid rectived at Bucha-
rest, to be employed forthe use of his corps. The
troops of ischapan Ogiu which had set out from
Audsdewede!tor, Moldavia, received orders on th e.
road to halt, and are cantoned in the villages round,
Fockchan ; the officers have even the town of Fock-•
chap for quartets. A feW days ago their Comman-
dant_,
sent them I 5,000 piastres ;for their support.—
He horrowed this sum from the merchants here,
who advanced it most willingly.
The new Boyar& of the Divan yesterday 'took
the oaths of fidelity in tl presence of the Senator
Mela,,chwitsh, who the following day presented
them to "the General-in-Chief, Kutusow.
Wadam has been named WeSteer, in the roan) of
the preceding Westeer, Samarkasch

The Generat in Chief, Count KutusoW, is per-
fedly recovered; and has alteady appeared in seve-
ral public places.
It may easily be conceived thin a town which is
in sottitical a situation as Bucharest, and is upon
the point of becoming the theatre of war, offers a
number of obje&s, sufficient to attract a great num-
ber of 'strangers. •
