PARIS PAPERS.
We have Paris Papers of Sunday list now before
us—they are filled with interesting matter. Our illus.

trious Hero the Duke of WELt.txotow, has been re-
' ceived at Paris with marks of public approbation,
almost equal to those with which his Grace may ex-
pect to be received when he appears again among his
grateful countrymen.
We !rave selected as usual some entertaining anec-
dotes respecting BONAPARTE. His life was freqUently
in jeopardy, and the same talents which saved him in

Russia from .the fury of the Cossacks, were succes-
fully exerted—he retains all the qualities of an expert
Harlequin ; and the devices which saved him on his
journey to the toast were of his own invention. The
inhabitants of Elba, it is said, refuse to receive him.
The Moeitsur, besides the Royal Decrees which we
have noticed, contains the resignation of two or three
Members Of the Senate. Two of these are foreigners,
one an Italian and the other a Spaniard, and they
assign as a cause of their abdication, the present state
of affairs iu their respective countries :
" PARIS, MAY B.
To•day thi King reviewed the whole of the 1414-
otieinaL Guards, in the Champ de Mars, and presented

every legion with a stand of colours.
46 Yesterday Monsieur, accompanied- by the Duc
de Berri, reviewed, in the Courts of the Thuilleriesahe
Sth, 9th. 10th and 12th legions of the National Guards.
His Royal Highness graciously received-a great num-
ber of petitions in passing through the ranks. The
Duc de Berri, with amazing goodness, frequently an-
ticipated the wishes of the petitioners, by taking their
papers from them and.handing them to his father.—
The Officers were presented with the white ribband
and the fleurs-de-lis, as an additional decoration.
66 The Duc de Berri visited the OPera the night
before last, accompanied by the Duke of %Vellington :
the piece was Colinette a la Carr, and the illustrious
visitors arrived when the chorus of Amon: a la
Sand de le brave Seigneur was being sung. The au-
dience immediately made the application, and
drowned the voices of the performers with cries of
4 Vise Wellington !' The Hero was afterwards con-
ducted to his carriage amidst unitarsal acclamations

MORE ANECDOTES OF BONAPARTE.
K We are assured (says the Gaseue de France) that
the English Commissary, Colonel Campbell, who has
charge of Boaapartei has been obliged to go to the
Islani of Elba before him, to prepare the inhabitants
for receiving him. It would appear that they are
d.termined to make wine resistance against a trans-
fer in which they have not been consulted, but we I
hope the EngEshCommissary wilt allay the ferment: '
" A private letter ..from Avignon, dated on the'
90th ale. contains a fact which ought to be added to
the detaiis which we hive ilrendy published respect-
ing Bonaparte's jofirney. As' he was very much
, agitated and terrified at the dangers which beset him,
he disguised himself in the manner which we have
already described; but he canted his precaution far-
ther. He did not wish to remain in the carriage, and
yet he was aware that he must necessarily form part
of the cavalcade. To reconcile every thing be sig.
grated the idea of hisiown accord of disguising a
Courier, named Vernet, as the great Bonaparte, and
this man took his place in the carriage. This person
elsictly heard the most (hotting imprecations uttered
) avian his master ; but very luckily escaped with no
ether outrage than insults a$ curses.
0 A Gentleman who has arrived from the South
i of France, and who met the escort of Bonaparte,
when changing horses, states, that it was truly a
frightful spectacle. The populace assembled round
his carriage, and, listening only to the impulses of
i hatred and vengeance, addressed a thousand re-
' .7*aches to him, threatening hirn with death, and
~.lkttempting to seize his person. On one occasion, the
i a military force which accompanied him was over.

powered by the mob. At length a foreign General
who attended him harangued the multitude : he told
them, 1 that it was better to allow the Tyrant to live
because an instant death would deliver him from all
his

ti °utiles ; ishereas he would suffer a thousand
deaths in the recollection of his crimes,' &c. &c.—
During this speech the horses were changed, and the
carriage was allowed to proceed. Bonaparte, whets
he found he was
.quite safe from this new danger,
turned towards his preserver, and said to him—' I
thank you, General !—I heard all you said—you
spoke like a God r
4, When he came to Rapheau, he was offered di-
ther a French or English frigate to convey him to
•
Elba, but he preferred the latter.
4' One of tie very few Senators who, under the regime
of Bmaparte, reserved the right of hazarding some
useful truth, said to him, a few days after his return
from Moscow, when speaking of a most obnoxious
_decree which the despot wished the Senate to sub-
scribe, For GOD'S sake, Sire, propose something to
us which we may be permitted to reject—this will
keep up appearances.'—Bonaparte paid no regard to
this hint lest the example should be followed on other
occasions.

" AUGSBURG, APRIL 30.
46 Letters from Venice of the 20th state, the arrival
there of Commissaries front the Allied Sovereigns.—

English vessels were already in the harbour, and Ans.
irian troops in the town. The Venetian: are over•
whelmed with joy at the happy changes which have
taken place, and every article of provisions instandy
fell considerably. The statue of Bonaparte as
quietly removed tiering the night, that no popular,
commotion might arise next day.
44 Letters from Ancona state, that great distur-
bances prevail there in consequence of the den:spina-
tion of the people not to submit to a French*Wove-
reign.

BOLIRDEAUX, MAY 2.
I. ea Two Eiglish sailors, guilty cf a serious crimes
were a lew days ago condemned to be shot ; and yes-
terday incrning the English and Portuguese troops
were drawn up to see the sentence executed. The
people of Bourdeaux crouded to the spot. Already
the awful circle was formed, and sentence on the
point of being executed, when a croud of people
threw themselves between the culprits and those who
were ready to fire, and solicited their pardon from
Lord Dalhousie, intreating that a single drop of Eng-
lish blood might nut be shed in their City.-6, It is
on account of the city of Bourdeaux alone that I par-
don thele criminals," said his Lordship. The two

nen were. immediately replaced in the ranks, amid
the public acclamations.

A complete Antriallicass revolution is spreading
aver Italy. Enoesa BEAUHARNOIS has been obliged
to decamp from Mantua. In a Proclamation, dated
an the 26th ult. atter alluding to the insurrection at
Milan, he civilly takes leave, under the pretext of
" New political arrangements.". He has gone to
Munich to his wife, who is a Bavarian Princess.

It will be MURAT'S turn next—from t e following
article in the Journal dr: Debut:, it is e.side it that all
is not quite so franquili at Naples as the friends of the
Napolean Dynesty could wish :
44 For some days reports have been circulated in
Paris, that the public tranquillity of Naples has been
disturbed. The German Journals seem to give some
countenance to these rumours. There are letters,'
however, from Naples, dated 27th April, which state,
that the most profound calm reigned there, and that
the King was expected every mommt from his head-

quarters, which were at Bologna on the 25th."
The French Garrison of Mentz is in a state of in-
surrection, occasioned by one of their Officers (whom
they have arrested) having embezzled their pay.
An article from Frankfort expressly contradicts
the report of a certain Prince in the North being
about to resign in favour of the son of GUSTAVUS IV.

A most spirited debate took place last night in the
House of Lords on the subject of the annexation of
Norway to Sweden. It was decided by a very large
majoritynhat Great Britain had no right to interfere.
IndecJ, it appeared pretty evident from the speeches
,of Ministers, whose information must of course be
the most extensive on the subject, that the discontents
of the Norwegians were greatly exaggerated, and
that we have to thank the secret instigations of the
Danish Cabinet, as well as the gross misconduct of
Prince CHRISTIAN FREDERICK Of DENMARK. for the
shew of resistance which the Norwegians have made.
While upon the subject of the recent transfers of
Sovereignty, why, we would ask, are the inhabitants
of the Island of Elba to be transferred as heir-looms
to BONAPARTE, in direct contradiction to their wishes
They were the first victims of his cruelty during his
ferocious campaign in Italy, and the recollection of
their suffering is still vivid among them. What
crimes have they committed that the Tyrant, whom
every other nation has cast out, should be forced upon
them ? Even the Island of Corsica has rejected him
and petitioned for annexation to France under the
Boy 'moss.

What a moment is the present ! AU the Powers
of Europe engaged in active consultation to establish
such a Basis of peace and social order as may esta-
blish the permanent repose and security of, their re-
spective States, considered as component parts of
sne great family. How awful the responsibility im
posed on those who from rank or office are placed
in circumstances which give them influential power
in the present crisis ! The events of the last twenty-
five years have furnished many useful lessons to
Statesmen, if they have only wisdom to turn them to
a proper account. How many feudal and monkish
absurdities, which had grown up Kith rT been so
deeply engrafted into their constitutions as to deter
any sober statesman from attempting their hasty
eradication, although evidently injurious to the rights
of legitimate Sovereigns, and inimical to national
independence, have been swept away in the political
earthquake which, in its concussion, subverted thrones
and rooted up many excellent civil institutions ? In
restoring the latter, let care be taken to avoid embo-
dying any of the former in the new edifice.
For many ages wise statesmen had to regret the,
chains imposed upon them in the dark ages by am-
bitious ecclesiastics. Fier since the era of the re-
formation, they have been occupied in a gradual
restoration of the usurped rights of mankind—but
touching the old and tottering fabric With trembling
hinds., Bad men have quickly effected for them what
they had not the boldness to dare : let wise and good
men benefit by the circumstance.
The Governments of- independent States should
have no masteri. The wisest code which the world

has seen is decieive on this point," 14 ALL be :abject
to the Higher Power: :"—neither agisitlts nor ecclesias-
tics of any description are excepted.-44 Vach them to
he :died to Principalities and Power:, to oiey Magi:train
—to render honour to whom honour is due."--Should
statesmen again forge fetters for themselves and their
subjects, it requires no prophetic spirit to predict the
fate that awaits them."

Messrs. HUGHES and, Mitutsowix are arrived at
Harwich, from Gottenburgh, with dispatches from
Messrs. CLAY and RUSSELL, to Messrs. GALLATIN.
and BAatt.tao. They were detained at Harwich foe
want of passports.

BATTLit Of TouLousx.=---The following Official
Communication, to the Howse of Commons, suffi-
ciently explains the cause of this Battle, and com-
pletely removes all blame from both the English and
French Commanders :

" Mgatoassinou :-I.ord CASTLIIRIAOII mentions, in a let•
ter, dated Paris, May 5, that Colonel Cootta and Colonel Sr. Si.
MON, on the part of the British and French Governments, were
dispatched on the night of the 90th of March to Lord W atttw
Tow and Marshal SovtT.• They were detained at Alois, by the
French Authorities, for four days; which was the occasion of
their not arriving before the Battle of Touk,use. The Prench
