PARIS, APRIL 15.

When the Emperor presented himself, without at-
tendants, and without arms, to the people of Lyons,
there was not a man who, for two milli= of haws:,
would deliver him up to his enemies. When the
Duke of Aagouleme fled from Dauphine, there were
10,000 peasants to arrest the Prince and his whole
Stair, gratis ! On which side is the voice of the
nation ?
We are assured that the Constitution, which will
give to the Nation all the guarantees, will be pub.
tithed in a few days. This is a good answer to the
plillippics nl foreign journals. It is added, that this
Constitution, which will be but a Chartre Octroyee, will
be forthwith submitted to the Primary Assemblies.
An army of reserve is otganixing in this city, the
chief command will be given to General Count de
Luban. The artillery will be commanded by Lieu-
telant-Geneial Nourritt; and the Lieutenants-Gene-
ral Mt'raiid and Abbe, will have each a command in
this army.
We hear that General Count Belliard is about to
be entrusted by his Majesty with a most extraordi-
nary commission.
APRIL I6.—The Duke D'Angouleme has deman-
ded, under an article of the capitulation, that he
should be permitted to proceed by slow journies to
Marseilles, and there to embark. Qeneral Gilly has
not acceded to this demand, and it is said that the
prince will be conducted to Cette.
They write from Lille, that the Dutch regiments
have been sent from Brussels to the interior. From
the measures taken for the defence of the frontiers, it
is believed that the foreigners are more fearful of an
attack, than likely to commence one.
According to letters from Strasburgh, the Saxons
and Bavarians are willing to, remain neuter, and that
the cries of Vire Napoleon ! are frequently heard in
those countries. They state also that the material of
the Austrian army has made a retrograde movement.
APRIL 17.1 t is reported that the King of Naples,
after having had an affair at Placentia with the Aus-
trians, from whom he made many prisoners, has en-
tered Milan, and that all Lombardy is in a state of
insurrection. This news wants confirmation,

It. was asserted this morning, during the review,
that the Emperor had received satisfactory news
from En4land. We may then still hope that the
rep.) of Europe Will not be disturbed. The inten-
tV!l r; a, it is added, is to become a medigrix
in d.ti•:.:re.:ices should arise between France and
1;7 Power.
!.•,ttrs from Epinal announce that 28 battalions
Atonal Guards have already beefs formed in the
srtrnent of the Vo.ges ; and that they are ready
to j liu the army to &tend the national independence
in case it should he threatened.
Tlr! Commercial Court of Nantes has received ad-
vice th.,t French vessels have been captured in the
tivet of B .ur‘leaux by the English.

CIRCULAR OF THE lIIINISTER OF IHE INTERIOR T 3
WWI KIR ECM

" Paris, Aptq 12.
44 I inclose the Decree of his Majesty, dated the
loth of this month, for the organiz.ition of the Na-
tiotial Guard, In all the Departments of the Empire.
This measure, intrusted to your zeal and patriotism,
is, at the present termination of the Trench Revolt].
;ion, the most certain pledge of cur liberties ;—the
mos; efficacious guarantee of our independence abroad,
and ur ccurity at home.
Thc: Emperor could not better enlighten Europe,
as to the t: ue mu.Atinn, the opinions, and the wishes
of the French but by recalling them to tl.e
sentiiiitin Of their own resources, by their most ex-
tensive tte.vtloporwit.
" Every d.ii,c:;prion of guarantee will be found in
this grand measure—national defence, that of our
political rights and our fundamental laws : as also
that of the duration-of peace, because it cannot be
disturbed wht.a the most vivrous part of the popu-
lation, more 6141 two milli ins of men, most of them
inured to arms, are again a foot, not in a mass and
in tumultuous rr. inner, but upon regular bases, and
simply destihtd to defend the integrity of the French
territory.
if make I,c.r.wn, Monsieur Prefect, the importance
of this organization and the intentions of the Empe-
ror t do not stiffer certain individual iriteresti, wou t!.
•ed vanity, or pneille fears, to weigh for a moment
against so great interestst or oppose the smallest oh.
stack to so generous resolutions. • Enlighten all
classes of the citizens ; follow the general impulse,

ardour which it excites in all hearts which are trill)

•
the way for the double prodigy of the restoration of
liberty and of the Imperial throne, had introduced in
the formation of the Natienal Guards such divisions
and such confusion, that the constitutional laws cf
this essential part of the public force was almost every ,
where either neglected, or changed by peculiar and
derogatory measures. The new Decree has the great
advantage of* recalling to one and the same forma-
tion the different descriptious of National Guards suc-
cessively established : it is chiefly founded upon the
basis of the Decree of sth April, 1815, on which it
impriives, by rendering the organization more prompt
and easy. It fixes the laws on this subject in a man-
ner so precise, that I think it superfluous to enter
with you into great developements as to the execu-
tion of these arrangements.
" 4 It revives the principle established by the an-
terior laws, that all Frenchmen from the age of
twenty to sixty should form, part of the National
Guard, and that the most vigorous portion, that
which is in a condition to enter ou active service, that
which includes men from the age of twenty to forty
years, will Corm the elite. The exceptions ought to
'bu extremely rare ; the Senatus Consultum of the 2d
Vendemaire, year 14, admits of none : it belongs to
the wisdom of the Committees of Organization to de-
termine those which it will be proper to allow. The
regulations which they have to follow in this respect
were traced by my predecessor in his circular of the
Bth of May, 1813: , There are,' he observed, 4 cir-
cumstances, such as the situations of families, which
ought to decide the Council of Organization in its
measures : we ought to avoid all that could tend to
disorganize an interesting part of the public service
by the ruin of
,a family :
‘, The Committees will feel the whole moral re-
sponsibility which these functions impose on them,
and they will exercise them with the greatest impar-
tiality. Begin their operation immediately."
, [The Circular then concludes with requesting to
be informed every five days of the progress of their
operations.]

LILLE, APRIL 13.
A great number of troops pass through this city
on their routes to different 'destinations : the commu-
nications between Tournay and this city, which had
been intercepted, are now restored, and individuals
pass freely between both places ' • but the greatest ri-
gour is uniformly exercised with respect to passports
and letters borne by travellers ; as to the rest there is
no appearance of hostility.
