of some regiments, and rlc appearance of the French

An officer on horseback Appeared, at four o'clock,

dressed one thus " Are you well paid

PARIS, MARCH 2i.

His Majesty arrived yesterday in a carriage, drawn
by six buries. On his entrance he mounted a white
charger, and proceeded, accompanied by an escort
of chasseurs, to the Palace of the I'huilleries.

Yesterday, at one o'clock in the morning, the
King left the Thuilleries by the Pavilion of Flora.
He pass►d through St. Denis, and, it is supposed,
he will direct his steps to Peronne, where the Duke
of Orleans has been three days. Half an hour af-
terwards the Count d'Artois, and the Duke de Berri,
quitted on horseback, and followed the route of the
King. A great number of carriages followed that

FRONTIERS OF AUSTRIA, MARCFI 10.
In the evening of the 7th, the embarkation of
Napoleon from Elba occupied all the attention of the
Court of Vienna. The next day the event became
the universal topic of conversation, and excited the
most lively sensation. The Emperor sent the Nina
de Metternich to Schoeubrun to inform the Arch-
Duchess Maria 1,-)uisa of the circumstance. They
had a loitg c snterenee, and of the B,h she arrived

(FROM TILE MONITEER.)
PARIS, MARCH is.
The Emperor informed that the pe:iple in Fr once
had lost all their rights acquired by 25 years of com-
bats and of victories, and that the army was attacked
in its glory, resolved to change this state of thus ;s,
to re-stablish the Imperial l'hrone, which alone could
guarantee the rights of the nation, and to cause the
disappearance of that royal throne which the :If, .I.le
had proscribed as guaranteeing the interests of a
small number of persons only.
On the 26th of February, at five in the afternoon,
he embarked on board a brig of 24. guns, with 400
men of his guard. Tiiree other vessels which weft
in the harbour, and which were seized, received 200
infantry, IOU Polish light horse, and the battalion of
flankers, of 200 men. The wind was southerly, and
appeared favourable. Captain Chantard had hoped
to double the Isle of Capraia befcre day-break, and
to be then out of reach of the Fieech and E.lglish
cruizers which watched this point. This hope was
disappointed. Scarcely was Cape St. Andrew if the
Isle of Elba doubled, tshen the wind fell, the sta be-
came calm ; at day-break they had only made six
leagues progress, and were still between Capraia and
Elba, within sight of the cruizers.
The danger appeared imminent. Several seamen
advised a return to Porto Ferrajo. The Emperor
ordered the continuance of the voyage, designing as
a last resource, to gain possession of the Fr:!:ich •
ceuizing squadron. It consisted of two frigates and
a brig; but all that was known of the attac:mient of
their crews to the national glory did not permit a
doubt that they would hoist we ti i-coloured flag, and
jolter's. ToWards noon the wind freshened a little.
At tour in 4he afternoon we were off Leghorn. A

frigate appeared five leagues to leeward ; another
was on the coast of Corsica ; and farther off, a ship
of war was coming up right before the wind to meet
the brig. At six in the evening the brig which bad
the Emperor on boaid crossed another brig, which
was perceived to be the Zephyr, Captain Andrieux,
an officer as much distinguished by talents as true
patriotism. It was at first proposed to hail the brig,
and make it hoist the tn-coloured flag : but the Em-
peror ordered the soldiers of the guard to take off
their caps and conceal .themselves on the deck, pre.
ferrieg to pass the brig without being recognized, and
reserving to himself the resource of causing to
change its Itig, if obliged to resort to it. The two
brigs passed alongside each other. The Lieutenant
of our veiel, Taibacie, an officer cf the French navy,
was very well known to Captain Andrieux, and spoke
him when within hail. We asked Captain Andrieux
whether he had any commissions for Genoa ; some
mutual civilities passed, and the two brigs sailing in
contrary directions, were soon ont of sight of each
other, without Captain Andrieux at all suspecting
What our frail vessel bore !.
During the night of the 27th and 2Sth, the wind
continued to freshen. At daybrc.+k a 7 gun ship
was seen, which seemed making for St. Florent or
Sardinia. It was soon perceived that this vessel paid

M 3 attention to the brig.
At seven in the morning of the 28th, we discovered
the coast of Noli ; at noon, Antibes. At three o'clock
of the Ist March, we entered the Guil' of Juan.
The Emperor ordered a captain of the guard with
25 men to land before the rest, in order to secure the
coast battery, if there was any. This Captain from
his own head, formed the idea of making the batta-
lion which was at Antibes change its cockade. He
threw himself imprudently on the place ; the officer
who commanded there for the King ordered the
draw-bridges to be raised, and the gales shut. His
troop•took to their arms ; but at the same time they
felt a respect for these old soldiers and the cockade
which they cherished. However, the Captain's ope.
ration failed, and the men remained prisoners at

•
Antibes.
At five in the afternoon the landing was effected
in the Gulph of Juan, and the men bivouacked on
the beach till the moon arose.
At eleven at night the Emperor put himself at the
head of this handful of brave men, to the fate of
whom such mighty destinies were attached. He pro-
ceeded to Cannes, from thence to Grasse, and by way
of St. V4lier he arrived on the evening of the gd at
the village of Cerenon, having marched (20 leagtes
this first day. The people of Cannes received the
Emperor with those feelicgs which were the first pre-
s Age of the success of the enterprise.
On the 3d the Emperor slept at l3areme ; on the
4th he dined at Digne. From Castellane to Digne,
and in all the department of the Lower Alps, the
peasants, informed of the Linperor's march, flocked
from ail sides on his route, and manifested their sen-
timents with an energy which no longer left any

doubts.
On the sth General Cambronne, with an advanced
guard of 40 grenadiers, gained possession of the
bridge and fortress of Sisteron.
The same day the Emperor slept at Gap with ten
horsemen and forty grenadiers.
The enthusiasm with which the Emperor's pre-
sence inspired the inhabitants of the Lower Alps,
the haued which they bore to the noblesse, suffi-
ciently sheeted what was the generai wish of the pro.
since of Dauphine.
At two in the afternoon of the 6th the Emperor
left Gap, and the population of the whole town was
assembled to see him pas;.
At St. Bonnet the inhabitants seeing the small
number of his troop, had some fears, and proposed
to the Emperor to ring the tocsin, in order to assem-
ble the villages and accompany him in a mass.—
" No," said the Emperor, '• your sentiments prove
to me that I have not deceived myself. They afford
me. a sure pledge of the sentiments of my soldiers.
Those of them whom I meet will range themselves
on my side—the more numerous they arc, the more
certain my success. Remain tranquil at your homes."
There were printed at Gap some thousands of pro-
clamations addressed by the Emperor to the army
and the people, and by the soldiers of the guard to
their comrades. These proclamations spread with
Ilse rapidity of lightning through all Dauphine.
The same day the Emperor came to sleep at
Gorp. The forty men of the advanced guard of
General Cambronne proceeded as far as Mure to pass
the night. They met the advanced guard of * di-
vision of 6000 troops of the line coming from Gre-
noble to stop their march. General Cambronne
wished to parley with the advanced posts. He was
answered, that all communication was forbidden.—
However this advanced guard of the division of Gre-
noble tell back three leagues, and took up it position
among the lakes at the village of
The Emperor informed of the circumstance, re-
paired to the spot, He found on the opposite line a.
battalion of the sth of the line, a company of sappers,
a company of miners, in all between 7 and 800 men.
He sent. his orderly officer, the chief of squadron,
Roul, to communicate to these troops the news of his
arrival ; but that officer could not obtain a hearing.
He was always answered with the prohibition of all
communication.
Emperor alighted and went straight up to
the battalion, fcllowed by his guard shouldering
their arms. He got himself recognized, and said
that the first soldier who chose to kill his Emperor
might do so; an unanimous shout of Vive PEnirereur
was their answer.
This brave regiment had been under the Emperor's
orders from his first campaigns in Italy. Tne guard
and the soldiers embraced. 'I he soldiers of the sth
itemeaately tore off their cockade, a►tid took with
enthusiasm and tears in their eyes the tricoloured
cockade.
When drawn up in line, the Emperor said to them,
U I come with a handful of brave men, because I
reckon upon de. people 411:1 upon you ; the throne of
the Bourbons is illegitimate, because it has not been
raised by the nation ; it is contrary to the national
will, because it is contrary to the interests of our
country, and exists wily in the interest art a few farisi.
lies. Ask your fathers, ask all those inhabitants who
arrive here from the vicinity—you mill learn !Korn
their Mouths the true stale of affairs, they are threa-
tened with the return of tithes, of privileges, of feu-
irghtt, and 'of all the abuses from ozhich Our

success delivered them : is not this true, peasants ?"
“ Yes, Sire," they unanimously reply 46 they wished
to tie us to the sod; you are come like the angel of
the LORD to deliver ns."
The brave men of the battalion..of the sth deman-
ded to march first upon the division which covered
Grenoble. The march was begun amidst a crowd
of inhabitants, which increased every moment. Vi.
mile distinguished itself by its enthusiasm. " It was
here," said these brave people, di that the revolution
arose; it was we who first dared to claim the privileges
of men ; it is here again that French liberty is resus-
citated, and that France recovers its honour and in-

dependence."
F.ttigued as the Emperor was, he wished to enter
Grenoble that sameeven►ng. lietweenV►zille and Gre-
noble, the young Adjutant-Major of the 7th regiment
of the line came to announce that the Colonel Labe-
cloyere, profoundly afflicted by the dishonour which
overspread France, and determined by the most no-
ble sentibsents, had separated himself from the gar-
rison of Grenoble, and was coming with his regiment
in quick march to meet the Lmperor. Half an boor
afterwards this brave regiment came a.ad doubled
the force of the Imperial troops ; at nine o'clock is
the evening, the Emperor made his entry into the

Faubourg de --. •
The troops had been made to re-enter Grenoble,
and the gates of the city were sh.a,. The ramparts
which defend it were covered by the thi regiment of
engineers, composed of 2000 sappers, all old soldiers
covered with honourable wounds ; by the 4th regi•
ment of artillery of the line, the same regiment in
which five and twenty years ago the-Emperor hpii
been Captain ; by two other battalions of the sth of
the line; by the 11th of the line, and by the faithful

hussars of the 4th. 1
Th::. National Guard and the entire population of
Grenoble was placed behind the garrison, arid all
made the air resound with cries of Vivte tEsnftereur.
They burst open the gates, and at ten o'clock in the
evening the Emperor entered Grenoble in the middle
of an army and of a people animated with the most
lively enthusiasm. The next day, the Emperor was
harangued by the municipality, and by aU the autho-
rities of the department. The discourse of the mili-
tary chiefs and of the magistrates was unanimous.—
All said that Princes imposed by a foreign power
were not legitimate Princes, and that they were not
bound to any engagemeat with Princes whom the

nation did not want.
At two o'clock the Emperor reviewed these troops
in the midst of the population of the whole depart.
ment, to the cries of 66 Down with the Bourbons—
down with the enemies of the people—long live the
Emperor, and 'A Government of our own choice."—
'rile garrison of Grenoble immediately afterwards
proceeded by forced marches towards Lyons.
One thing 'could not escape observation, which
sires, that in the twinkling of an eye these 6000 men
were seen decorated with the nationel cockade, and
each of them with an old and worn-out one, fur upon
laying aside the cockade tricolour they had concealed
it at the bottom of their knapsacks. Not one'llves
purchased at Grenoble. It is the sante. said the r, as
they passed the Emperor, it is the same that we bore
at Grenoble. This, said others. is the very one which
we wore at blamer.
On the 9th, the Emperor slept at Bourgoiga. The
crowds and the enthusiasm, it possible, increased,—
.4 Fur a lung time we hAve expected you,' saitfthese

of the noblase, fro.si the pretensions of priests, . and
from the disgrace of a foreign yoke."
From Grenoble to Lyons, the march of the Em-
peror was nothing but a trinmphl The Emperor,

ing.pace, surrounded by a crowd of peasants, singing
songs expressive of all the nobleness of feeling of the
brave Dauphinois. 66 Ali," said the Emperor, 46 I
recognize here the sentiments which twenty years
ago made me salute France with'the name of the
great nation. Yes ! you are still the great nation,
and you will always be so." However, the Count
d'Artois, the Duke of Orleans, and several Marshals,
had arrived at Lyons. Money had been lavished
among the troops, and promises among the officers.
They wished to destroy the bridge of la Guillotiere,
land the bridge Morand. The Emperor laughed at
these ridiculous preparations : he could not have a
doubt of the dispositions of the people of Lyons; still
less of the disposition of the soldiers. However. he
had- given orders to General Bertrand to collect boats
at Mirbel, with the intention of passing over in the
night, and of intercepting the routes of Moulins and
of Macon, to the Prince who wished to prevent the
passage of the Rhone.
At four o'clock, a reconnoitring party of the 4,th
Hussars arritred at la Guillotiere, and was received
with cries of Jive PAmperetsr! by the immense popti-
lation of a faubourg which was always distinguished
for its attachment to the country. The passage of
Mirbel was countermanded, and the Emperor gal-
loped towards Lyons at the head of the troops which
were intended to prevent his entry. .
The Count D'Artois bad done every thing to se-
cure the troops : he was ignorant that nothing is.
possible in France to the agent of a foreigner, and
when you are' not on tfieSiee of national honour, and;
the cause of the people ! Passing before the 13th
regiment of dragoons, he said tq a brave man, deco.
rated with scars, and three chevrons-44 Come, com-
rade, cry "iv( le Rol." No, Sir, answered this brave
dragoon, nu soldier will fight against his father !
can only answer you by crying Jive l'Easpereur.—
The Count d'Artois mounted his coach, and quitted
Lyoni, escorted by one gen-d'artne.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the Emperor pass-
ed across la Gnirlotiere almost unescorted, but sur-
rounded with an immense population.
The next day, the 1 lth, he reviewed the whole
division of Lyons, and the brave General Brayer at
their head began his march in advance upon the
capital.
The sentiments which during two days the inhabi-
tants of that great city, and the peasants of the vici-
had testified towards the Emperor, affected him
so nmen that he could not express what he felt, ex.
crpt by saying, 66 People of Lyons, I love yore"—
Ties is the second time that the acclamations e 4. this
city had-been the presage of new destinies reserved
icr France. On the 13th, at three eclock in the
ifitsnoon, the Emperor :arrived at Villefraeulie. a
small town of 4000 persons, which at that' moment
icontaluesi ' more thee 60,000. He stopped at the

Hotel de Vide. A great number.of wounded mili-
tary were presented to him.
He entered Macon at gesso o'clock in the evening,
always surrounded by the people of the neighbouring
(districts. He testified his astonishment to the inha-
bitants at the little effort which they had made in the
last war to defend themselves against the enemy, and
to maintain the honour of Bnrgundians. " Sire, why
did you appoint a bad Mayor ?'
At Tournus, the Emperor had only praises to be-
stow on the inhabitants for the excellent conduct and
patriotism which under the same circtuustances had
distinguished Tournus, Chalons, and St. Jean-de-
Lone. At Chalons, which for forty days had re-
sisted the forces of the enemy, and defended the pas-
sage of the Saone, the Emperor took an account of
every trait of bravery, and not being able to repair to
St. Jean-de-Lone, he sent there the decoration of the
Legion of Honour to the worthy Mayor of that
town. On this occasion, the Emperor exclaimed,
" It is for you, brave people, that I instituted the
Legion of Honour, and not for the emigrants pen-
sioned by our enemies."
The Emperor received at Chalons the deputation
of the city of Dijon, which came to drive from its
bosom the Pretect and the unworthy Mayor, whose
conduct in the last campaign had dishonoured Dijoa
and its inhabitants. The Emperor displaced this
Mayor, appointed another, and entrusted the com-
mand of the division to the brave General Devaux.
On the I.sth the Emperor slept at Autun, and
from Autun he went to sleep on the 16th at Avallon.
He found on this route the same sentiments as in the
mountains of Dauphine. He re-established in weir
places all the functionaries who had been deprived
for having concurred in the defence of their country
against the foreigner. The inhabitants of Chiffey
were specially the object of the persecutions of a cox-
comb, Sub-Prefect at Semur, for having taken up
arms against the enemies of our country. The gin-
peror gave orders to a brigadier of gendarmerie to
arrest this Sub-Pretech and to conduct hint to the

prisons of Avellon.
The Emperor breakfasted on the 17th at Verman•
ton, and proceeded to Auxerre, where the Prefect
Gamot bad remained faithful to his post. The brave
14th had trampled under foot the white cockade.
The Emperor learned that the 6th regiment ef
lancers had equally mounted the white cockade, and
eras advancing upon Montcreau to defend the bridge
against a detachment of the Body Guard, who wislit:3
to blow it up. The young Body Guard, not beins
as yet accustomed to the strokes of lances, took tiigla
at the sight of this corps, and two prisoners were
taken.
At Auxerre, the Count Bertrand, M:ijor-General,
gave orders for collecting all the boats to embark t! :e
army, which was already strong with four. divisions,
and to transport it the same evening to Fossard, so
as to be able to reach Fontainbleau by one o'clock in
the morning. &fore leaving Auxerre, the Emperor
was joined by the Prince of Moskwa. This Marshal
had caused the tricoloured cockade to be mounted in
all his government.
The Emperor arrived at Fontainbleau on the 20th,
•at four o'clock in the morning : at seven o'clock he
learned that the Bourbons had left Paris, and that
the capital was free. He set off immediately to re-
pair thither:—hc entered the Thuillerics at nine
o'clock in the evening, at the moment when be was
least expected.
Thus tea initiated, without shedding a drop of blood,
without finding any obstacle, this legitimate enter-
prize, which has re-established the nation in its rights,
n its glory, and has effaced the stain which treason,
and the presence of the foreigner, had• spread over
the capital ; thus is verified, that passage of the ad-
dress of the Emperor to the soldiers—that the Eagle
with the National Colours, should fly from steeple to
'steeple, even to the towers of Notre-Dame.
In 18 days the brave battalion of the guard has
cleared the space between the gulph of Juan and
Paris, a space which in ordinary weather 45 days are

Arrived at the gates of Paris, the Emperor saw
the whole army which the juke of Berri command.
ed come forth to meet him. Officers, soldiers, gene.
cals, light infantry, infantry of the line, larcers, dra-
goons, cuirassiers, artillery, all came to meet their.
General, whom the choice of the people, and the
wish of the army, had raised to the empire ; and the
tricoloured cockade was mounted by every soldier,
who had it in his knapsack. All cast on the ground
that white cockade which has for 25 years been the
rallying sign of the enemies of France, and of the
people.
• On the 21st, at one o'clock, the Emperor reviewed
all the troops composing the army of Paris. The
whole capital was witness of the feelings of enthu-
siasm and attachment which animated these brave
soldiers. All had reconquered their country ! all
were relieved from oppression : all had again found
in the national colours the recollection rat all those
generous sentiments which have always distinguished
the French nation. After the Emperor ha. ti pmzeti
along the ranks, all the troops were drawn up in
square battalions.

I thank you for it. The glory of what we have jug
done, is wholly the people's and your's. Mine is
reduced to the having known and appreciated you.
" Soldiers I the throne of the Bourbons was illegi-
timate, because it was raised by foreign hands, because
it was proscribed by the wishes of the nation expressed
by all our national assemblies; because, in fine, it
offered no guarantee except to the interest of a small
number of arrogant men, whose pretensions are op-
' posed to our rights. Soldiers, the imperial throne can
alone guarantee the rights of the people. and espe-
cially. the first of our interest's, that of our glory.—
Soldiers, we.will marsh, to chase from our territory
these Princes, the auxiliaries of the foreigner ; the
nation Will not only second our wishes, but even fol-

reckon upon you. We wish pot to interfere in the
affairs of foreign nations, but woe to them who shall
interfere with ours !"
This address was received with the acclamations of
the people and of the ioldiers.,
A moment afterwards General Cambronne and the
