PARIS, APRIL S.

GENERAL ORDER ISATED BY MARSHAL COUNT BARCLAY
DE TOLLY, GENERAL IN CHIEF OT THE COMBINED RUS-
SIAN AND PRUSSIAN ARMIES.
" Soldiers !—Your perseverance and bravery have
delivered the French nation, oppressed by a Tyrant
who acted only for himself, and who forget what he
owed to an esteemed and generous people. The
French nation has declared itself for us ; our cause
is become their's ; and our magnanimous Monarchs
have promised them protection and support.
" From this moment the French are onr friends:
let your arms destroy the small 'limbot of unfortu-
nates who still surround the ambitious Napoleon : but
let the cultivator and peaceable inhabitant be treated
with consideration and friendship,- as allies united by
the same interests."
" Given at Head-quarters, Paril, April 2,1814."
The General of Division, Count LEGRAND, has no-
tified- to the Provisional Government his adherence
to all the measures that have been taken by the Se-
nate.—The persons employed at the Treasury, and
in several other public departments, who had not re-
ceived any salary for three months, were paid yes-

years.

terday.
The body of market-women, according to ancient •
custom, this morning presented themselves at the
hotel of the Prince of Benevento, and solicited the
honour .of presenting a nosegay to the Emperor Alex-
ander. That Prince was gone out; he was traversing
on horseback the different quarters of the capital,
every where receivint the benedictions of an immense
population, who flocked around his course.
On his return, his Majesty condescended to receive
the homage of the market-women, and accepted their
nosegay with the most. graceful and touching affa-
bility : in the intoxication of their joy and happiness,
they made the air resound with prolonged shouts of
". Long live the Great Alexanuer I Long live the
Allied Sovereigns! Long live Louis XVIII.! Long
live the Bourbons !"
A great number of young men, both on foot and
on horseback, with cockades in their hats, and bear-
ing while 11;s, had yesterd ty the honour of being
admitted to an audience of the King of Prussia.
'They departed full of veneration for the virtues of
that illustrious Sovereign, so beloved by his brave
subjects, and so worthy of being so.
Versailles has followed the example of the Pari-
sians. No sooner was it delivered like {hem, than it
recollected that it had been the residence of Kings.
It will send a deputation to the Provisional Govern-
ment, to express to it its wishes.
We learn Irorn all the districts adjoining the capi-
tal, that the conscripts who were on their match to
join the army of Bonap irte, are returning to their
homes. A great number of others daily abandon his
standard.

Many villages have already presented the affecting
spectacle of mothers embracing with tears their sons
whom they believed to be dead : they re-enter their
homes, with boe„Jis in their hands, covered with
ribbands, and shouting Vive le Roi !"
" Down with the tyrant !"
Paris is daily receiving within its walls soldiers who
will no longer shed their:blood for the firccions am-
bition 01 a single man. They are received with ten-
derness ; every one hastens to supply their wants,
and to efface the long sufferings which they have
experienced.
A crowd of distinguished youth was repairing the
whole of yesterday, to the house of M. Charles
Noailles, in the faubourg St. Honore, to enrol their
names in the list of Royal Guards.
1 t is M. the Senator Lambreschts, and not M. Ga-
rat, as some Journals have announced, who is charged
Kith drawing up the plan c.f the new Constitution.
The following addresS, signed by a great number
of the inhabitants, was this day posted up on all the
walls of Paris :

TO THEIR MAJESTIES THE
EMPEROR OF RUSSIA AND THh KING OF PRUSSIA.
" Sums —Paris is occupied by your triumphant

armies.
" Receive the homage the most flattering to gene
rous conquerors—the retiard of victory, the most
pleasing and the most rare--the benedictions of the
vanquished.
" The vanquished—ah ! that appellation, which
does not, however, exclude every idea of glory, can-
not belong to us !
" Our wishes invited you ; they seconded your
holy crusade against the scourge of nations, against
that monster, an alien to our country, who, raised by a
good fortune of which he was unworthy, to the helm
of a State torn by factions, had perverted the energy
of a generous people—had abused that energy in order
fooli%hly to declare war against the liberty of the
"world, and even, so to speak, against the human
race itself;—against that monster, to whom by way
of eminence it was given to dispeople and destroy ;
who, from the Baltic to the Pyrennees, tore children
from their parents to make them the instruments or
the victims of his devouring tyranny, and compelled even
father: to put up prayer: against the success of the arms
of their son:.
" These payers have been heard by PROVIDENCE,
and realised-by your brave armies. You triumph,
Sires, but we are not vanquished ; we are delivered,
and your triumph shall be the eternal object of our
gratitude.
" Delivereis of our unhappy country, deign to ac-
complish your work, and to fill up the measure of
your benefits I
" France calling enjoy repose—abe cannot resume

.'4

her place in the rank of the 'other Ettropeninafiens.
-she cannot ('we say it frankly) impire•them with co'n-
fidence in her treaties, but udder the tutelary shade
of legitimate authority.
"Ah 1 at last, amid long and culpable errors,
this justice Shall at least be done us, that no Frau-Amax
ieu dared to :eat himself oh the Throne of Louts X VI.
" The brother of that unfortunate—of that sainted
monarch—his legitimate successor, the descendant of
the good Henry, the Sovereign of the French, is not
yet among us.
" Permit, Sires, that under your auspices, a depu-
tation of faithful Frenchmen go to throw themselves
at his feet—to offer to him an expiatory homage—to
beg him to restore to France the presence of her King,
and to tir with your Majesties in his henceforth
tied capital the un Aterable basis of the tranquillity of
Europe."— Five lc Roi.

ACTS OF THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT.
ADDRESS TO TII FRENCH ARMS&

" Paris, April 2, 1214.
Soldiers,—France has just broken the yoke tin-
der which she has groaned with you for so many

4. You have never fought but for the country ; you
can no longer figtt, unless against it, under the co•
lours of the man who leads you.

" Behold all that you have suffered from his ty-
ranny ; you were lately a million of men ; nearly all
have perished, they wete delivered up to the sword
of the enemy, without food, without hospitals ; they
were condemned to perish of misery and hunger.
" Soldiers ! It is lull time to end the calamities of
the country : peace in your hands. Will you refuse
it to desolated France ? Your enemies themselves
demand it of you ; they regret to ravage these fine
countries, and wish only to take arms against your
oppressor and ours. Shall you be deaf to the voice
of the country which summons and entreats you ? It
addresses you by it, Senate, by its capital, and above
ail, by its misfortunes ; you are its noblest children;
and cannot belong to him who has ravaged it, who
has delivt red it up without arms, without defence ;
who wished to render your name. odious to all na-
tions, and who would have compromised your glory,

it A man, who i 4 not even a Frenchman, c,,uld h.tve
wealtenedwdre glory of our arms, and the generosity
of our soldiers.

" Yon are no longer the soldiers of Ishpoloon ;
the Senates and all France, absolve you from your
oath!. (Signed)

It determined that this conqueror should possess nu

alarmed mankind. It gave him a degree of militat
skill,. but without the recornmend.a.ion of personal
bravery.; an activity pio.figious„ but Without airing
a will untameable, but without discernmea:t. All
his disasters, all the disgraces with which Lc has
been overwhelmed, have sprung from the same causes
which produced his triumphs. Neither the most un-
precedented Etyma' s of fortune, nor the most tearable
lessons of disappointment, nor the confidence of a rm.•
ti,n, which, h iv;ng been tormented by a hiticous
anarchy, had hoped to find in him repose—nor the
councils of enlightened men, who would have directed
him to the path of true glory, nor the devoted attach;
ment of valiant warriors—nothing was able to soften
the character, to correct the false judgment, or to ele-
vate the corrupted soul of this Corsican soldier. If
one is confounded at his obstinacy in causing so many
men to perish, one is not less so at his obstinacy in
continuing to exist. He has shewn ns what selfish-
ness is in the human heat : never has he been able to
naturalize himself amongst Frenchmen. Was lie a
Frenchman, he who, placed on a throne which had
been embellished by the goodness, the grace, and the
gallant manners of our Kings, was always insulting
in his conduct towards females, and even rallied them

in a rude and unfeeling manner on the decline of their
beauty ? Was he a Frenchman, who never made a
present but with the hope of a return ?—who made a
base abuse of his power, in order to address, in the -
midst if his Court, degrading expressions to an amia-
ble minister, to a respectable judge, or to an honour.
able warrior ? Nay, even in his camp, does he heap
insults on our warriors, admired as they are by all the
rest of Europe. What torrents of invectives in his
bulletins ! When he has himself committed a military
blunder, he pitches on the name of any General at
havird, to accuse him of it. He invents fables that
no one.can beliet?e : if we would listen to him, it was
the ignorance of a corporal, which by blowing up a
bridge, occasioned the greatest disasters that France
has ever experienced. lie knows not where to place
his best Generals bUt in positions where they must be
sacrificed. • He makes the choicest of his troops, and
even the whole mass of his army, march and counter.
march 20 times with an unfeeling rapidity, through
impracticable roads, and in the most inclement season.
Meanwhile two or three Generals remain charged to
defend' important posts against forces tremendously
disproportionate. lie occasions the performance of
the most heroic acts of bravery, in order to cover his
checks; and yet it is often from the enemy that we
first learn their performatwe. What a savage charac-
ter is there in his pretended greatness ! What a rusti.
city in his magnificence ! What a contrast with the
noble and touching picture presented to us in the twe
Sovereigns, who have become in one day the allies of
the French people I Bonaparte wished to reside in All
the palaces of Europe ; these Monarchs abstain even
from entering the palace of the absent King of France.
A si-asple apartment suffices for them. Since the
sim-
plicityouse wofhLorich ne

tion between Kings and their people has been render.ec
the example of that
ed more intimate. We now know why these Sove-
reigns are loved. We long to see that Emperor of
Austria who has so fully concurred in their
views ; and to soften, if possible, the pain whi s
ch our
deliverance has cost his heart. Why should we not
generou
speak to these Monarchs, the friends of our own, in
that language of love, of which the Tyrant had made
us lose the pleasing habit,l This is the day of re-union

granted them. Every thing induces a hope that his

assistance of the capital, will place the enemy be-
