MARCH 16.

In the Journal dc PE.minire the following article has
been published
" Some Journalists, after announcing that the
Prince of Schwarzemberg, Ambassador from Ails-
tria, had had his first audience of the Emperor Alex-
ander, have added circumstances which are totally
false. The Prince did not decline the Court carriages.
Such a refusal would have been both absurd and im-
pertinent. He repaired to the Palace in his own car-
riages, because such is the custom of the Austrian
Court. The situation in which the two Courts stand,
would rather prevent any extraordinary ceremonies
from attending the audience of the Ambassador from
Austria. Far from disdaining the Court to which he
is accredited, M. de Schwarzemberg complains of
the coldness with which he is received. He tells those
who choose to listen to him, that he has not yet been
invited to the Hfrmi.toge, nor to any parade, and that
the strictest etiquette is observed towards him, with-
out the least show of favour, such as Sovereigns in-
deed evince only under particular circumstances."
We learn from various letters, that the greatest
activity already prevails in the ports or Ferrol and
Corunna. The Spanish marine will not be content
with having, during a period of rebellion and anarchy,
Yerna'ned faithful to honour, and snatched from Eng-
land the prey she expected : it aspires to take yen,
I.,'ance on her for the evils with which she has afilic-
• i'd Spain. We know, even by the confession of the
I:ngiish themselves, that these sentiments are also
held by the sailors of C.tdiz, who expect, and will
boon receive the French in that tine port. A. grand
movement is preparing on the coasts of the ocean,
from Hollai.d to Spain. The French troops have
been brought to the ports of Gallicia ht pursuit of
the English : perhaps they may have the satisfaction
to pursue them still Itirthr. Many ways are open to
gene: rate into insurrnt freland, and possibly to seek
Cie r2inains of Sir John Moore's army in the county
of Kent. When Carthage sett its forces into Italy,
the Romans f. o n found themselves under the walls
of Carthage ; and thr rival of Rome disappeared.—

SARAGOSSA, MARCH 6.
Yesterday (Sunday) the Commanders of two corps
of the army, who had met before Saragossa, with
the whole of their Etat Maj,r and the Colonels of all
the regiments, arrived at nine o'clock in the morning
at the head quarters his Excellency the Marshal
Commandant, in (J.der to accompany him into the
town. The whole trl,in was preceded and followed
by a detachment of Polish troops, and of cuirassiers
of the 13th regiment, in the most brilliant order.
Two hundred pieces of cannon announced the arrival
of his Excellency the Duke of Ikflontebello in the town.
The streets were hung with tapestry—all the people at
the windows manifested their joy, and their surprise at
so happy and so prompt (si prompt)a cha::ge, by accla-
mations and cries of Long iive the Emperor! The gre-
nadiers, and the voltigcurs of the army, lined the streets
from their entrance to the gate the church of our lady
de/ Pilar ; and bandsof music, placed in different parts,
added to the liveliness of the inhabitants, who ap-
_

pe.ared greatly moved by this kind of spectacle.. The
procession arrived in the most regular order in the
vicinity of the church. There his Excellency tae
Suffragan Bishop, M. de Saint Ander, a personage
respectable by his age and his virtues, dressed in his
pontiqcal habits, at the head cf his Clergy, of the
Junta, and of all the Authorities, came to the grand
entrance to receive the Fs ike of Moutobello, followed

by the cross and banaer, and conducted him to the
place which was set apart for:him, before the altar,
most richly covered, :uid not far from that Virgin,
which is the object of the whole cceintry's veneration.
• Mass was sung, accompanied by music, which was
succeeded by an mte: esting ceremony, the true object
of the meeting. ne holy Prelate, notavithstanding
his weakness and his grelt age, pronounced an edify-
he; discourse, in which he traced out all the evils of
war, all the blessings of peace and concord, according
to the precepts of the Gospel. Then .ill the members
'f the Junta, the heads of the Church, and all the
Authorities, advanced in order to the feet of the
Prehit-, and to the presence of his Excellency the
Duke of Montebello. There, with a loud voice, and
before all the people, the holy Prelate pronounced
the oath of obedience and fidelity to his Catholic Ma-
jesty, Don Joseph Napoleon, and each Member,
raising at the same time his hand, and lifting up his
voice, pronounced the words, I swear. After which
each left his place, and Divine Service was continued,
and email:it'd by a Te Drum, which was announced
from without by discharges of artillery. The Pre-
Lite, the Clergy, and all the Authorities, reconducted
his Excellency with the same pomp to the gate of the
Church, and all were edified by the orderly behaviour
of the French during this religious ceremony.
The Marshal Duke of Montebello then assembled
all the Etat Majors of the army in his Palace to a
repast of 400 cover. ; the termination of which was
signalized by three toasts, the first given by his Ex-
cellency : a To his Majesty the Emperor and King ;
may our vows prolong his life as long as his glory !"
The second, by his Excellency the Marshal Duke of
Treviso "To his Catholic Majesty Don Joseph Na.
poleon ;" and the third, by his Excellency the Gene-
ral Dul:e of Abrantes "To the Empress Queen, the
Empress Queen Mother, and all the Members of the
Imperial House ; may the throne occupied by that
family ensure the happiness of all their people ! and
may they ever find around them subjects as devoted
as we are mom. invincible Sovereign !'"These toasts
were each of them accompanied by discharges of
cannon. The day closed in the midst of public joy
and satisfaction.
The inhabitants cannot sufficiently admire the hap-
piness of their fate, instead of which they expected
treatment the most rigorous, and chastisement the
roost dreadful. We see every day the inhabitants and
invalids walk out of the town, in order to enjoy a
purer air in the vicinity, or to resume their labours ;
and at the same time there arrive from all sides, pea-
sants, in order to sell their commodities, and to sup-
ply the markets for the troops, with all the produc-
tions of the country, the same as in the most pro-
found peace.
The reeort of these happy events instantly spread
all around. The Arragonese come in crowds, incited
by curicsity and admiration, to sec a town, as it were,
restored to life, and rising out of its ruins, when

every one expected that it would be buried in the
earth. Our moveable columns traverse the country
on all sides, and every where the inhabitants hasten
to offer them wine, bread, and victuals of every kind.
They all confess that the pardon granted to the
armed peasants in Saragossa, was a thing unexpected
by them, and cannot fail to ensure their warmest
blessings. The hatred of the French is eradicated
from all breasts. Yesterday's ceremony has melted
hearts the most obdurate ; and Arragon will soon
present the spectacle of one of the most submissive
provinces in Spain.

The events which have taken place in Spain having terminated
