PARIS, APRIL. IL

A telegraphic dispatch from Lyons, dated the 13th
April, ond addressed by the Duke of Albutuera to
tin Minister of 'Mar, contains as follows :
Oa the 10th Avignon and Toulon hoisted the
iri.toloored flag. The Prince of Essling has fired

106 pieces of Amon at 'rod* kna has publihed

a Proclamatiop full of the sentiment: Of every good
Frenchmen for the Emperor and the Country."

Here follows a Report by Caulincourt, Minister
for Foreign Affairs, ou the State of Europe with re-

spectra France.

He begins by uatilig, that the declaration of the
Allies and their preparations afford just grounds for

apprehending a war. " It is in vain," lie says. " that
we oppose the calm of reason against the influence

of the passions. The voice of your Majesty has not I
been heard. An inconceivable system prevails among
the Powers of Europe : they prepare for fighting
without admitting any preliminary explanation with
the nation with which they are going to war."
Caulincourt then proceeds to tell his Master, that
he must prepare fur instant war. He then alludes to
the letter sent to the French Ministers at Foreign
Cowls, already published, as manifesting the most
sincere desire for Peace, but the Couriers which were
the bearers of these pacific overtures were not even
suffered to present them to the respective Courts.—
The Austrian General at Kehl arrested the Courier
sent to Vienna, by the way of Strasburgh. Another
sent to Italy was stopped at Turin. A third, going
to Berlin and the North, was arrested at Mentz and
maltreated by the Prussian Comukandani s his dis-
patches were then seized by the Austrian General
who commands at that place. Of the Courier who
went to England with the same overtures, Caulin-
court says he has beard nothing.
" Thus," he concludes, 14 when an almost impe-
netrable barrier is raised between the French Minister
and his agents at Foreign Courts—between the Ca-
binet of your Majesty and that of other Sovereigns—
it is only by the public acts of Foreign Governments
that your Minister is perm; •ed to judge of their bi-
tendons."

The Report then states the preparations made by
the Powers of Europe, under distinct leads, begin-
ning with
ENGLAND.—"" The Constitution of England sub.
jeers the Sovereign to fixed obligations towards the
nation which he governs. Not being ahle to act
without its concurrence, he is obliged to communi-
cate, if not his formal resolutions, at least his pro.
bable resolutions. The Message addressed to Par-
liament, on the sth of this month, by the Prince
Regent, is not calculated to inspire the friends of
peace with much confidence. I have the honour to
lay this document before your Majesty.
66 There is one remark which will powerfully strike
all men who were acquainted with the rights of int•
Lions and who wish to sec them respected by Kings.
The only motive alleged by the Prince Regent for
justifying the measures which he announces it to be
his intention to adopt, is, that events have p issed in
France contrary to the engagements of t!.e
Sovereigns to each other ; and vis Sovereign of a
tree people seems to pay no attention to the wishes
of the great people among whom these events have
taken place ! It shOuld seem as if hi L:l5 Engi ind
and her Princes no longer rementheted the year
1688 ! It seems'. that the Allied Powers, becanie
they have had a momentary advantage over the
French people, thkk themselves entitled to stipulate
irrevocably for them, and yet withour their consent,
.an arrangement respecting their internal e•incerns, in
contempt of the mos: sacred of our rights.
66 The Prince Regent declares, that he has given
orders to augment the British frirct:s both by 5t4 and

land. Thus the Froic nation, wloch he i....yrds so

little, ought to be on her guard on all si.lef.—she
may fear a Continental aggression : and at the same
time she ought to guard the whoie extent d her
coasts against the possibility of a landing. It says
the Prince Regent, to restore permanent secinity to
Europe that he calls for the assistance of the English
nation —and how can he want such assistance when
this security is not menaced ?

" In the mean time the relations between the two
countries have not undergone any remarkable altera-
tion. At some points there are a few insulated facts
which prove that England is anxious to keep tip the
relations established by the peace. At other huiuts
diff!rent circumstances lead to a contrary conclusion.
Letters from Rochefort of the ith instant mention
some incidents of an unfavourable augury, if not ex-
plained in a satisfactory manner, bat our recent in-
formation is not of a character to attach great im-
portance to these incidents.
" In Austria, Russia, Prussia, in every pint of
Germany, and in short wherever we cast our eyes,
we see a general armament."
With respect to Austria, Caulincourt observes
that she has re-embodied the Landwehr, and is march-
ing strong columns of troops upon Italy.
IsLancs.-4, Amidst this movement of Austria
towards Italy, the King of Naples has not been able
to remain unmoved. This Prince, whose assistance
the Allies had previously invoked, and whose legiti-
macy they had recognized and guaranteed, is not igno-
rant that their policy, which has since been niodified
by diffeient circumstances, must endanger his throne,
if, too experienced as he is to trust to their promises,
he had not known how to secure himself upon better
foundations. Prudence has directed him to make
some advance, to observe events more closely, and
the necessity of covering his kingdom has obliged
him to take up military positions in the Roman
States."

PRUSSIA.—AII is in motion here also : the officers
and soldiers m'e forwarded to their stations in light

tirriates, at ihe Arise of the state, cc a cireuhy
stance (taulincOOkt observes) of no 'than moment,
when it it consittered that Prussia is an economical
nation."

SARMIITA..A Sardinian Officer. in ecintert with
an English Maws!. has forcibly occupied MoNaco,
in defiance of the Treaty of Paris, and driven out
the French 'garrison,

SPAIN. -A Spanish army is moving in the direc:
lion of the Pyrcnnees. France will not fail to re-
mark," says Caulincourt, is that this army has been

ordered to march at the request of the Duke and
Duchess of Angouleme. Thus in 1815, as in 1793,
Princes born in France have called foreigners into
our territory." •

TIIE NETHERLANDS.—After noticing the pouring 1,
in of the reitish troops, and the hostile attitude of the
Belgians, he states, •4 that the Sovereign of the Ne-
therlands has arrested, at Tiriemont, a column oft
1
French prisoners coming from Russia.
44 In short, in every part of Europe they ate ready
to march against us—and against whom are thew
immense armaments intended P'

The rest of this remarkable document labours to
convince the world, that it is not against Bonaparte,
personally, but against the universal French nation,
that Europe is arming, in order to gratify the silt
passions of ,revenge, and to degrade and humble
France still more than ever.

The documents which follow are, No. 1, The let-
ter of Caulincourt to the French Ministers at fo-
reign Courts, already given.
No. '2, is the letter in Bonaparte's hand-writing,
given underneath.
Nu. 3, is a letter from CAulincourt to the Cabinet
Ministers of foreign Courts, in which he echoes hi)
master's sentiments in Nu. '2, and solicits the open-
ing of a friendly intercourse.
Nos. 4,5, and 6, are the reports of various cou-
riers, who were stopped and maltreated at various
points.

No. 7, is the Prince Regent's message to Par-
inment.

Nos. S and 9 mention the capture of one or two
French cruizers, oft Itoebefott, by the English squa-
dron, but in a very vague manner.
No. 10 is .a dispatch (countersigned by Marshal
Massena) informing the Minister of the seizure of
Monaco by the English and Sardinian troops.
No. 11, is a prceer verbal nu the same SAKt.

No. 19, is a letter from the French Ambassador at
Madrid to Baron Vitrolles. at Thoulouse, dated 28th
March. It assures him that the enthusiasm of the
Spanish Government, and the whole nation, is at the
highest pitch in favour of the legitimate Govt rn:nent
of France, and against the Usurper. It then an-
nounces that a Spanish army was instantly (mimed
to march upon the Pyrennees, the command to be
&rut to General Castanos.
Nos. 13 and 14 relate to the seizing of the French
prisoners on their return from Russia, an the Nether-
lands.

[Among so many documents, ail more or less im
portant, the Letter sent in the hand-writing of BoNoi-
PARTE the diircrent Sovereigns of Europe, with
which we close our Exaacts, will probably be consi.
dered as not the le:wit interesting.]

LEITER IN THE IIAND•WIIIIING OF HIS MAJESTY THE

EMPEROR TO ALL Tab: SOIik:MIONS OF EUROPE.

" rAass, Aritti. 4,
_lBl4.

" SIRE, DIY BROTHER—You lieive uu doubt. learnt

in the course of the last month my return to France,
my entrance into Paris, and the departure of the
family of the Bourbons. The true nature of those
events must now be made known to your Majesty.—
They are the results of an irresistible power, the re-
sults of the unanimous wish of a great nation which
knows its duties and its rights. The dynasty which
force had given to the French people, was not fitted
for it : the Bourbons neither associated with the na-
tional sentiments nor manners—France has therefore
separated herself from them : her voice called for a
liberator : the. hopes which induced me to make the
greatest sacrifices for her have been deceived : 1
came ; and from the spot where I first set my foot,
the love of my people has borne me into the heart of
my capital.
. The first wish of my heart is to repay so much
affection by the maintenance of an honourable Peace.
The restoration of the Imperial Throne was necessary
for the happiness of the French people. It is my sin-
cerest desire to render it at the same time subservient
to the maintenance of the repose of Europe. Enough
of glory has shone by turns on the colours of the vt-
rious nations. The vicissitudes of fortune have of ten
enough occasioned great reverses, followed by great
success.

•6 A more brilliant arena is now opened to Sove-
reigns, and lam the first to descend into it. After
having presented to the world the spectacle of great
battles, it will now be more delightful to know no
other rivalship in future but that resulting from the
advantages of peace, and no other struggle but the'
sacred one of felicity for our people.
66 France has been pleased to proclaim with can-
dour this noble object of her unanimous wish. Jealous
of her independence, the invariable principle of her
policy will be the most rigid respect for the indepen.
deuce of other notions t if such then, as I trust they
are, are the personal sentimens of your Majesty, ge-
neral tranquillity is secured for a long time to come,
and Justice seated on the confines of the earicus
States, will, of herself, be sufficient to guard the fron-
tiers. I atm," &c, kc. &c.
