• • • PARIS, MARCH 75.
The Duke d'Angouleme set out this morning fa
the army. His 'loyal Highness left the Palace of t
Tuilleries about nine o'clock, after breakfasting with
his Majesty. He proceeds first to Perpignan, and
thence along the line of the Pyrenees, and the di&
ferent divisions•of the army, to Bayonne. A small
number of persons assembled to witness his deem t tire,
but no particular feeling was manifested. Ills Royal
Highness and suite occupied two carriages : his ser.
vants and baggage had been sent away some dap
ago. A courier arrived this morning at the English
Embassy from Madrid. Ile left the Spanish.ca; itaL
on the morning of the 7tlt. Everything was the
tranquil: the Court was preparing air its transferto
Seville. The noble Commandants of the 12 legions
of the National Guards are now ashamed of theirOr•
ders of the Day.* They find that in acting as the is.
terpreters of the feelings of their corps, they hate
given them a language which they indignantly repel.
The great body of them ate enraged at being decimal
liable to laws contrary to the spirit of their institti•
tion. The denounced serjeant has become not only the
object of their applause, but of their liberality. It
has been announced, that a sword is to be given him
by his comrades. In addition to this mat kof regard,
more than 600 of them have subscribed to offer him
a great dinner.on the 29th inst. M. Bonne Maison,
!a painter, who is employed. iu repairing the apart. .
merits of the DUchess of Berry, being -a Captain in
the National Guard, is to preside. Ile thus expose
the advantages of- situation, to testify his regard to
his principles.
• It appears that these officious Gentlemen exceeded their
powers ; for, by a Royal Urdonnance, they cannot issue any Order
of the Day except with the sanction and signature of the Prefect.

PROM TIIR PRINCII PAPERS OF SATURDAY.
PARIS, MARCH 1.5.
The Duke of Orleans paid a visit to the Duke of
Angouleme, who cettainly sets off this day for the
army. General Brincart, whn was to have ccm•
manded a brigade, died yesterday morning.
Several citizens of Rouen, membera of the./slational
Guard of that city, have addressed a letter of con-
gratulation to M. Mercier, for his conduct on the
4th.— CON :tit u tion

In spite of the denial in the Journal des &oats, it
is believed that the Duke of Belluno will not retain
his place in the Ministry. The Duke of Ragusa was
spoken of as his 'successor, but he required certain
conditions which could not be complied with. The
Viscount Dijeon, Aide-de-Camp of Monsieur, is now
spoken of.—lbid. _

-A subscription is now raising at Lyons, to purchase
some testimonial of respect and admiration for the
conduct of M. Manuel.—Courier Francais.
The discussion in the Chamber of Peeri, on the
vote of credit for 100 millions, was opened on FriL
day: Marshal Jourdan, the Baron de Barante, the
Marquis de Castelan, and the Duke de Broglie, were
heard against the project of law, and the Duke de
Narbonne, the Count de St. Roman, and the Count •
de Polignac in its favour. The disctission was ad-
journed to the following day. There were inscribed .
to speak in favour of the measure the Duke de Fitz*
james, the Marquis d'Herbouville, the Baron de Mont-
alernbert, and the Count de Seze; and against it*
Count Cornudet and the Count de Segur.
[The Drapeau Bktnc an Ultra Paper; speaking of the dist.
aces among the champhans of the Army of the Faith, says, that, n
Mina cannot be more unjust towards the Trappist than Mata.

Madrid tremble, was denounced as a traitor by the Urgel
gency : in short, that all the Spanish Chiefs of the Faith ale
quarrelling among themselves.)

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCR.
‘4 PARIS, MARCH 14.
"A courier arrived at Paris last night from Madrid,
bringing papers and letters to the 6th instant. The
King, the Court, and the Government, are to leave
Madrid about the 10th, and to fir their residence at.
Seville. The people of Madrid, who will suffer moss
by being deprived of the residence of the Court and
the Cones, are in its favour. The grand processio&
'of the Court and Legislatuie of a gallant nation is to
be appropriately escorted by the Militia or National
Guard. On the road between Seville and the capital,
the country has been -cleared of the factious. The sume:.
brave militia, who executed this important service
when Bessieres advanced, have offered to accompautr.,
the King to Andalusia, and to place hint in safety.—..
Iu the meantime, his Majesty is laid to suffer from
an attack of the gout. With every delicate attention
to the state of the Royal health, but perhaps at the
same time with some suspicion that the malady might
be more of apolitical than of a physical kind,

dami:ed the ardour of; the crusaders, has at least oc-
casioned them 'some misgivings. This Report states,
that the army is not prepared for immediate opera-
• :lion Ai;licr by its nUmbsirs.,.mnieriei;or its spirit.. The.
President of the Council is saidies have ohmrved, that
the fault of -inadequate preparation did not lie with
• • him; that he, as Minister of Finairee; aliowed the ne-
cessary funds, and that the. Minister of War alone was
responsible for their use, or for.not demanding more.
In consequence of this dissatisfaction with Minn°,
it was stated that the portefeuille of war was offered
to Nfirmont, who declined it unless 200,000 men and
400 millions of francs were placed at his disposal for
carrying on the war. The Ministry are certainly di,.
satisfied with Belluno, but whether he will be imme-
diately dismissed is net so certain; The utmost num-
ber of troops as yet assembled on the frontier does not
exceed 3;1,000 men. The first division cannot be in
line at the beginning of April."
ANOTHER LETTER, SAT,IE DA:M.
" The expulsion of M. Manuel is attended with
consequences which the hot-headed Ultras were not
exactly aware of. The refusal of the Se.rjeant Mercier,
of the National Guard, to execute the illegal order of
the Presi,lent, has drawn upon him a prosecution
which ;s likely to revive all the recollections of which
the National Guard of Paris basso much reason to be,
proud. It has always opposed a barrier to anarchy ;
• it has stood foremost when the interests of society and
civic liberty were in danger; and has shed i;s blood
with the most generous devotion whenever the sac' i-
fee was felt necessary. Its original formation is one
of the most honourable features that can distinguish
ah dy of men. Anarchy was at its height; the
peaceable citizens of Pat is were murdered in cold
Huth! ; fortune or private pique were sufficient nio.
tires 1.,,r assassinating the father of a family. In one
AW 50,000 citizens rose spontaneously to protect
their mutual rights ; the qualirication was, and still
remain,, the pa) ing rent and taxes. No person re
eels wig can be a member of the National
Guards; they have ..11, their:fore, an interest in. the
ni.,mtenai:ce of order, and uniformly oppose every
int; iugenient en libel ty. Napoleon suppressed them
as i:compatible with his attacks on civil liberty; but
in the n orr., nt of danger he recognized them. They
therefuie reel their own importance ; and this attack
on a member of their torps,who hasn'tly done his duty
in resisting an illegal order, is individually felt and
reprobate; ; an J, should the tin eats ofFunishmerit be
.carried int, execution, the rising of the whole body
to resist it, is an event which is at the least extremely
probable."

Palls Papers of yesterday morning arrived to-day
at a late 11.,ur.

The Duke de GUICIIE accompanied the Duke of
ANcouLENIF: in the same carriage. It is reported in
Paris that an attempt had been made' to set on fire
and destroy the Arsenal at Toulon.

The Chamber of Peers voted the 110 millions on
Saturday by a majority of 1112 to 66. A BISBA L
(O'DoNNet.) is said to have been appointed Captain-
Genual of Madrid and the Province, and tohavehad
power given him to declare the whole in a state of
siege. Some attempts have actually been made to
seduce the French soldiery, but the French Jour-
nalists say without success.
Afer 'a debate on Saturday in the Chamber of
Deputies on sumo articles inserted in the public jour-
nals since MANUEL'S expulsion, the Editor of the
Journaltitt Commtrce was ordered to be prosecuted.
Some foreigners, the agents of secret associations,
have been ordered to quit Paris and Frauce without
delay.

The Flanders M.iil, which arrived on Saturday,
brings intelligence I i cam Ft ankfort, dated March Bth,
of important neAociations which are carrying on re-
lative to the affairs of Spain, between France and
Russia. The following intimation also of the deter-
ruinition of Austria to remain neutral in the ap-
proaching contest, is of much importance:
• A Note is spoken of as having been addressed by
the Court of Vienna to several Sovereigns, in which
it explains the motives of the system of neutrality
which it has adoinej, in case war should break out
between France and Spain.

The Austrian army is to be reduced twenty-five
thousand men.

Ave not these something like symptoms of a pair-
of among the European Powers as to the war
between France and Spain ? May not the neu-
trality of Austria (to t hich we should not be
surprised to have to add %von that of Russia) be.a
setoff against that of England ? And would not the
cause.of Spain be as much served in this way as by
Englind's wasting blood and treasure in her behalf?

Bayonne Papers to the 9th instant reached us this
forenoon. The two Mails from Madrid whfrh were
due had arrived. The Mail which lift Bayonne on
the 28th ultimo was stopped at the first stage from
Dun by a band of the Army of the Faith, who burnt
all the letters.
French troops still continued to an ive on the from-
ti,"; 6 000 men were encamped beyond S:.-Jean de
44z, though the rain and hail vi,ere incessant. A
84" itlautity of ammunition and 500 muskets were
divatched from the arsenal of Bayonne for St. Jean
de Luz, for the Army of the Faith. Twenty-four shoe-
makers of Bayonne were employed in repairing old
mks for the Army of the Faith, and 3,600 complete
annul ms '.'ere to he deli vei ed to the Spanish Generals.

Dutch Papers to the 16th instant state, on the au-
thority of letters from Corfu; that the Greek Chief
Liozznitts penetrated to Vrachori, the Capital of
Etolia, and there had an action with the Turks, who at-
tempted to defend that town. They threw themselves
into the houses and held out for a considerable time,
till the Greeks set the houses on fire, by which they
compelled their enemies to come out. There were,
great rejoicings at Missolonghi on this event, and it
was hoped that the Greeks, following up their ad-
vantages, would assemble a great force by the end
of March before Larissa, the Capital of Thessaly.

AusTr.nnAm, Ntincn 14.--.Exchanze on London, 40. 9; ditto

The Chronicle of this morning has an article entitled
Policy of England," intended, we presume, by way
of rejoim!er to one under the same title,which appeared
in the STAR a few days ago. It is marked by the usual
tactics of the party from which it emanates. The
question immediately at issue is entirely evaded, and
a new one started, the premises of which the writer
first settles in his own way, and then argues upon
them most triumphantly. First, it was fur the sake
of Spain and the general principle of national inde!
i_endence ; next, for the sake of our ancient ally,
Portugal; and then, for the sake of our own libertieso
civil and religious, that were called upon to go
to war. The faction having been beaten out of
all these pretexts, have this day started a new one;
and• when beaten out of that too (one shot Will do it),
they can be in no want of others quite as valid and
rational, to keep up their unrighteous cry of war.
The bugbear of to-day has littleor no relation what-
ever to Spain. The Chronicle asks now, whether " the
state of France does not present to the consideration
' of our Ministers a matter of deeper interest and much
higher importance than the simple question of the
GUERRE D'Espitotin?" The Chronicle, our Readers
will perceive, is now become so ashamed of the
Spanish pretext, that it won't even speak of a Spanish

_ . .
triir in plain English. The answer which it makes to
its own question, contains some pieces of information
for which we are sure the British Public, with all the
shrewdness that characterizes it, is but little prepared.
—" If," says the Chronicle, " they (the Ministers) are
not totally unfit to gOvern this country, they must
eyen now be anxiously occupied in forming a deci-
sion as to the part that they will take in the event of
another French Revolution." Nay, start not, Reader t
." if they are really worthy to hold the reins of Go-
vernment, a more important decision even than that I
must already have obtained their anxious attention !"
And hat may-this more important decision be?,
Why, nothing more than that England should take
the revolutionizing of France into her own hands !'
" How, indeed," it is said, " can England most ef-
fectually promote the happiness of France and. her
own glory and advantage, but by guiding and assist-
ing the friends of rational liberty in France to the
establishment of a wise and liberal Government in the
place of that which has so madly and wickedly la-
boured to prepare for Europe the misfortunes of an
universal war ?"

We feel that the simple statement of such sugges-
tions must be sufficient to convey to every thinking
being in the country a sense of their wickedness and
folly. The Chronicle boasts much of the informa-
tion which it possesses of the state of parties in France,
but if it enables them to form no better opinion than
it here displays of the true interests of England, the
sooner it leaves Englishmen to think for themselves
the better. The Ministers of England have not con-
cealed their sense of the dangers to which the BOOR.-
BON dynasty will expose itself by the invasion of
-Spain; Lou' LivEnrooL, in particular, pointed to

them in the strongest terms, in his memorable speech
at the opening of the Session; and we are convinced
that they must have formed a large portion of those
considerations which induced our Government, in a
spirit of the sincerest friendship, and with a most
anxious desire for preserving the peace of Europe, Iv
interpose its mediation between France and Spain.—
What Britain may and ought to do, in the event of her
fears with respect to the BOURBONS- being realized,
is a question which it Will be time enough to deter-
mine when that event happens. We are sure that
our Government will not be the less prepared.for a
coming to a wise determination upon it, that it
' has so earnestly warned the French KING and
his Ministers of the hazards they are running ;
and of this, too, we are sure, that it can do nothing
better for the interests of England than to defer, as
long as it possibly can, any such committal of itself
as may involve us again in the calamities of war.—
But to talk of England's instantly hoisting the stindard
of revolt against the BounaoNs, because they do not
choose to act as we please, is such a Tonz.."-iiiedlaat,
sort of advice that We might safely havelef; it toi
speak for itself but for the illustration which it fury
nislies of the reckless and insensate character of the
party by whom the cry of war is so.perseveringly
and factiously kept up in this country. - • •
