VARTS, JULY O.
Yesterday, at eight o'Lloek in the morning, a part
of the Austrian troeps, cavalry, artillery, and inf Autry,
entered Paris by the suburbs of Nl:mttuartre, and were
placed along the Boulevards in,two lines. The Em.
peror of Russia, the Emperor of Austria, the King
of l'reossia; Mons:cur, the King's brother, the.Rus•
sian and erussian Princes, followed by a numerous
Stag •;
among whom were Prince Schwartzenberg.
And the Duke of Wellington, passed these troops in

rcve.w.
The three Monarchs, accompanied by the Princes
anal their Staff, went afterwards to the Place Louis
XV. where the troops defiled before their Majesties
during half an hour. All the regiments •wcre in the
fines: order.
The Emperor of Russia, the King of Prussia, the
Princes, Scc. attended the Emperor of Austria home
to his Palace. The air frequently resounded with
shouts of Vive PLmptreur illexandre7 Vive le Roi;
The persons who have foreign soldiers, of what-
ever nati. n, quartered upon them, are not to forget,
that tl e c soldier; have a right to enjoy every liberty
not incompatible with the common conveniencies of
the house, and that it is a duty tie pay them every
attention that hospitality enjoins. It would not be
just to require them to abstain from certain habits
which are become matter of absolute necessity to
them, and which can be hut matter of slight incon.
vei.iente to their hosts. They must also be free to
cat at the hours that suit them—to go to bed by day
;is well as by night ; and this is the less to be found
f mit with, as it is known that the soldier, while on
duty,- has cot the means of regulating his hours of
repose or his meals. There is not any inhabitant of
Paris who will not, freely conform to the eligeircies
of the existing circumstances. All citizens will vie
with each other in seconding the intentions of the
Administration, even though attended with vine
present restraint ; a true understanding of their own
interest r.ndurs this conformity a law for them. II
any complaiiits can have arisen on this bend, they
via at have arisen from a misunderstanding sutlicien ly
uy the want of a common language, and
we may venture to plAge ourselves that they will
not be repeated.
It is said that Marshal Suchet was exasperated at
not having been able to restrain his troops.
The free corps have almost every where proved by
their conduct that they were nothing but a tevolu.
tionary conception on the part of him who created
totem. To the disorders of foreign invasion they have
addzd pillage and persecuticn. The Cossacks of the
Don, of whom there has been so much talk, are mere
scholars compared with the free corps of Franche'
Comte, Lorraine, and our Northern departments. On
the I.sth of July about 7 or 800 of these misled men
made an attack on the town of Hesdin (Pas de Ca-
-I.liS) ; but the inhabitants headed by the authorities
having taken up arms, repelled them, and forced the
greater part to lay down their arms—the rest. took to
frght.

gives thernZentors; They have had too powerful and
too recent an experience of Censorthip nut to have
somfrdread of any thing which appears to resemble
it. The Journal tie Paris mights more than any other,
have cause for alarm from these recollections. did it
not derive confidence from the mere comp,' ison of
the Government which has ceased to exist with that
which commences. The Censors to whom the abso-
lute direction of this Journal was confided, joined to
the power which the Government, had given them.
another title and other claims, which rendered the
effect of their elnsarial despotism more direct. and
I inevitable.
Now, however, we love to reflect, that under a just
and moderate Gavel nment, which has proclaimed the
formal intention of respecting every kind of liberty,.
that the reiponsible Editor will not consider himself
authorised to prevent the expression of opinions which
may n, t accord with his own, so long as that expres-
sion offers no offence to that decorum which ought
never to be forgotten by any writer who respects him-
self. We shall alwayf know lilve to conciliate with
the respect due to the Government, and with that
discretion which the circumstances in which it is
placed renders indispensable, a wise liberty, and a
noble independence., It will not be our fault if the
responsible Editor does not find the weight of his re-
•sponsibility yew slight. We dare not aspire to the
triumph of convincing him of the inutility of his func-
tions.
We are assured that the names of the Members of
the Chamber of Representativs, who took passports
at Paris to return to their Departments, have been in-
scribed in the Register which is preserved in the Office
of the Prefect of the Police.
Landrecies, Valencieuncs, and Conde hold out still.
In the last-mentioned thiven a horrid act has been
witnessed. M. Lauriston had presented himself with
a flag of truce to summon the place to surrender.
He was allowed to approach within musket-shot.
' when a volley was poured on him which biought him
to the ground. His body was then seized and cut
to pieces.
The effect of the explosion of the magazine at
Avesnes has,been such as to leave not a house in the
town exempt from its effects : the whole must be en-
tirely rebuilt.
Workmen have been employed to repair the bridge
of the Invalids (late of Jena). In a few days the
damages done will be completely remedied.

BONAPARTE.
It was very currently. reported yesterd.ty that the
BELLIIROPIION with &IN:WARTS on board, had ac.

wally arrived in Torbay ; but this was
.a mistake
originating in the arrival of another vessel, the !
SLANEY frigate, Captain SARTORIus, with dispatches
from Captain M,srrLAND, confirming the details
which have already been laid before the public Ye-.
specting the surrender of the late Usurper. Captain
Sitirronsim, on his arrival, proceeded to Wimbledon
and delivered his dispatches to Lord MeLvit.t.r., by
whom their contents were communicated v ord
LIIIIKPOOL at his seat at Comb Wood. Summonses
were immediately issued for a Cabinet Council to
meet at twelve o'clock.

Lord MELVILLI having come to town with all
speed, had an audience of the PRINCE REGENT at
Carlton-house, which continued about an hour, when
his Lordship proceeded to the Cabinet Council, which
continued sitting till between four and five o'clock.
The long deliberations of the Cabinet are said to
have been respecting the way in WIIiCII NAPOLEON
BONAPARTE and his suite are to be disposed of. The
Earl of LIVERPOOL waited upon the REGENT after-
wards, with the result of the deliberations of Ministers
in Cabinet.

At the breaking up of the Council, Mr. Przt.Eq,
the King's Messenger, was ordered to hold himself
in readiness for a journey, and the exertions to get
him off were so great, that he had started by about
six. It was understood that_ he is gone to Marseilles.
It transpired in the course of the day that the
SLANEY had been sent forward by Captain MAITLAND,
to Plymouth, with dispatches, announcing that 80.
NAPARTS MU on board the BELLEROPHON VA h ane me-
runs suite. But it was the intention of Captain MAIT-
LAND himself to proceed so Torbay, and not to land his
prisoners until he had received orders from Govern-
ment. BONAPAIITRIS suite, 'as it is called, consisted
of upwards of 4.0 persons, among whom were Ban,
TIIAND, SAVARYI LALLENIAND! GROGAN, and seve-
ral women. He has been allowed to take on
carriages and horses, but admission was denied to
about 53 cavalry, fur whom he bad the impudence
to require accommodations. He had at first wanted
to make conditions with Captain MAITLAND, as to his
treatment, but the- British Officer very properly de-
clared, that he must refer him upon this subject to
his Government. When he had been some thee on
board, he asked the Captain, what chance twp
frigates, well manned, would have with a 74 The:
answer, we understand, which he received to this en-
quiry, (lid not giveltim any cause to regret taut he
bad notified his fortune in a naval combat with the
relative forces in question.
Hp had likewise the assurance to address a letter
to the PRINCE ltituosT, and M. GROGAN, one of his
party, was put on board the Suocay as the bearer of'
it; bct when this vessel reached Plymot;th, the Offi-
cer on duty there, with a decisjcn cleat clop him

credit, refused GROGAN permission to land. .The let-
ter is said to have been conveyed by Captain §ARTO-
RIGS, and iti purport was understood on board to be
a request for passports for America, accompanied
with high compliments to the British. He is reported
to have expressed himself to the following effect :
66 that events having taken an unexpected turn, and
France being in a state of anarchy, he had retired from
it—that he throws himself on the PRINCE RFAiENT
and this country, the most disint..rested, the most ge-
nerous, and the must constant of all his enemies —a
that in so doing he imitates the conduct of TIIENIS.
10CLES, who sought an asylum from his enemy, the
son of XERXE*."

The reports respecting the destination of BONA-
PA ILTE are varinns. The Tower, Sheerness, um-
barton Castle, Fort George, have each been named
as his iuturtr place of residence in this country.—
Others have ddermissed that he .shall be sent to St.
Helena, and have already appointed a frigate to con-

vey him thither : while some. from the direction of
Mr. PEGLER'S jgurney, conjecture that he is to be
surrendered to the Kim; of FILM!. What do these
contradictory reports prove ? only that nothing what-
ever is yet known publicly respecting his 11:-.nre

destiny.
For ourselves we shall be slow to believe that the
murderer is to be allowed to slip out of the noose ;
or that Ministers will forego the hold which they have
obtained, and give him even the chance of e:caping
justice. There is no country in the world where he
can be tried for any of his crimes—sty For the mur-
der of Captain WRlOHT—with the same certainty
that the ends of justice shall not be defeated, as in
England. Let a special Military Commission be ap-
pointed for the purpose. unless a trial at the Old
Bailey should be thought preferable, and let applica-
tion be made to Fouclie to send over the proper wit-
nesses. If any man on earth can find them rOI7CIIE
can, and it is now his duty to do so.
As to the argument advanced by some casuists,
that his case becomes materially changed by his sur-
render, they have tniAaken the sense of public law on
this head. This law requires that before a surrender
be pleaded in mitigation of punishment, all ambiguity
must be retwived as to its having been truly voluntary.
To be within the benefit of the Law of Nations, the
surrender must have taken place while the party
had yet some alternative between submission and
actual destruction, or capture. To the man who,
having arms in his bands, throws them down,
when he might certainly injure, if not conquer,
his assailant, the laws of war, which are part of
those of nations, indisputably pant his life ; but if
he fight till they are struck out of his hands. he is at
the-mercy of his conqueror. If the garrieon of a be-
sieged fortress resist till they are beaten out of the
breach in an assault, or till their last barrel of pow.
der or provisions is expended, the mere fact of their
submission in their extremity does not exempt it from
being a surrender at discretion. The principle of the
law seems to be this—that the vanquished must al-
ways have something to sive, in return for what he
claims must be able to say to- his conqueror—
" though it was nearly certain, that yen must have
finally overcome me, I had a chance, and that I have
forgone," or, 44 I might have done you a previous
injury, and that 1 have not done." Now it appears
from the statements on all sides, that the surrender if
BONAPARTE had nothing of this esential character
of the voluntary in it. Every new account adds to
the certainty, that he could not have escaped, and
that he must have known he could not. He was per-
' fectly blockaded at sea ;lie was hemmed in on shore.
—He conceded nothing to his enemies, hut what they
must have taken. He tried to stipulate for a sate
-
passage ; it was refused ; and, after that refusal, he
surrendered. He attempted to escape, but found he
could not even land, at Rochelle. After every failures
he threw himself upon the possibility of being receiv-
ed by his conquerors—that is, upon their discretion.
There is a way of putting this case, which will, per-
haps, riplain it in a few lines. Suppose the KING of
FRANCE were to say." You, being in friendship with
me, sent your vessels to lay off my coast, and there
received a traitor, whom I should have seized—l re
quire him back." Does any one suppose that we
could justly hold him against such a demand ? And
yet, it we could not, it must be, because he is with
us not upon terms, but upon discretion.
The report was revived list night, and continues
this moroing, that the BELLEROMON, Captain MAU..
LAND, with BONAPARTE and his associates on board,
has arrived in Torbay.
hoard

A Dutch Mail arrived this forenoon. The princi-
pal contents are the advance of the Russian army of
