Yesterday we laid before our Readers the particu-
lars detasled in the French Papers respecting the pro-
gress of BONA.PARTZ, including the contents of the
Moans, of the 10th. The general complexion of
all was that BONAPARTE had certainly not been
joined by any of the people, and that the next papers
might be expected to bring an account of his de-
struction.

Such was the general impression produced by the
Meniterr of the 10th, but almost as soon as our Paper
was put to press accounts of a very different nature
were circulated in the City. At two o'clock we
learnt that there was an uncommon bustle at the
Stock Exchange. The parties who sold out so largely
on Friday last had again been selling to the extent as
was believed of about half a million, and the Con-
sols which opened at 631 for the Account suddenly
fell to 621.

The rumours in consequence were various and
contradictory, but all of a gloomy cast. By some it
WAS asserted that MAssENA had declared for BONA•
PARTE, and was proceeding by forced marches to join
him ; by others, that he had been joined by Marshal
SOULT. Others affirthed that SOULT and MARMONT
had been massacred in a tumult which had taken
place at Paris ; and all agreed that things were far
from being in the hopeful state announced in the
M.eiieur of the 10th.

In a little time after, it was known that the
Masi/fur of the 1 lth was in Town, and contained
the following paragraph :
64 The Telegraph of this day announces that BONA.
PART& was at Bourgoigne, tour posts south of Lyons
—and that it was supposed he might be able to enter
Lyons this day."
It does not appear from that Paper that any intel-
ligence had reached Paris of Grenoble being in his
possession; but there appears in it a Proclamation of
the Prefect oldie Department of the Maritime Alps,
stating that the exertions of the people had not been
so great as was to have been expected, from their
patriotism and loyalty, on account of having been
taken so much by surprise.
To the above we have to add, that it was pretty
generally believed, late in the afternoon, that Go-
vernment had received other intelligence, which ren-
dered the fact of BONAPARTE'S entrance into Lyons,
on the night of Saturday last, almost certain.

That such intelligence should produce a very gene-
ral sensation is not surprising. We had been inform-
ed, in the official Journal of only the 10th, that MON..
bIEUR had reached Lyons on the Bth, where he found
the inhabitants (about 110,000) and the troops united
in a common sentiment of attachment and fidelity;
and in 24 hours alter to be told in the same Journal,
that BONAPARTE " might be able to enter Lyons on
the 1 lth," seemed to be a plain declaration, either
that the previous intelligence was false, or that a sud-
den defection had occun ed almost instantly—holding
out a most alarming example to other places.
That BONAPARTE, in the course of eight days,
should have been able to march above 200 miles into
the heart of the Kingdom, with such small means as
he was reported to possess, and have reached Lyons,
only 115 leagues from the Capital, might well excite
no common degree of surprise and even of alarm.—
The general inference was, that respecting the intel-
ligence previously published in the Mossiteur no one
fact could be relied on, excepting only that BONA.
mars was at the head of an armed force on the soil
of France.

We have been anxiously looking for the French
Journals to dissipate or confirm the present rumours,
but the wind is adverse. Our Correspondent at
Dover informs us that there was no arrival there
yesterday either from Calais or Boulogne ; but one
of LIM passage vessels which sailed from Dieppe on
Saturday night had been blown in there. The report
by this vessel is, that three Generals were missing
from Paris, who of course were supposed to ha►e
gone to join BONAPARTE.
We shall not occupy the time of our Readers with
reflections suggested by the rumours respecting the
state of affairs in France. Every one's mind will
supply them. While BONAPARTI is suffered to live, it
is vain to talk of settling the affairs of the Continent.
EXTRACT Of A LETTER PROM PARIS, DATED MARCH 9.
44 The Proclamation of Bonaparte is in the hands
of Government. It disavows any intention of da
throning the King, or ot disturbing the civil relations
of France. The Corsican stiles himself Lieutenant-
General of the King of Rome; and in that capacity,
as well as in that of his natural tutor and guardian,
he has entered France to cause justice to be done him,
as also to claim the fulfilment of certain articles of
the Treaty of Fontainbleau, which he says has been
shamefully violated by the French Government. An
attempt was made on the sth to raise the populace
ot this capital. but it failed. The King declares, that
happen what may he will never quit his post. There
is some uneasiness ,about Dauphigy, and more par-
ticularly Grenoble; and also tome jealousy about
Austria."
