We stop the Press to state the arriiral of !lark jour-
nals of the II th instant. Their contents are of the

highest importance, and refute at once the doubts

entertained of the authenticity of the hews copied
from the Mossiteur of the 11th. It is genuine beyond
all question, as will be seen by the following extracts :

PARIS, MARCH se.
A telegraphic dispatch, received this morning,
dated from Lynn at half-past eight, announces that
Bonaparte was to sleep at Bourgoigne yesterday, the
9th, and that they expected he would be able to en-
ter Lyons on the evening of the 10th.
No telegraphic dispatch, and no letter make known
that Grenoble has opened its gates to hini.:—Mersi-
few, March 11.

The following ate the original wards :
" PARIS, 10 MARL
" Une depeche telegraphique revue ce matins &tie
de Lyons, a huit heures et demie, annonce que Buo-
NAPARTI a du coucher a Bourgoing bier 9, et qu'on
s'attendait a ce qu'il pourrait entrer a Lyons dais la
Soiree du 10.

Aucune depeche telegraphique et aucune lettre
sae font connoitre que Grenoble lui ait ouvert ses

Portes."

The following extracts will make known some of the
dispositions tattoo by the civil and military authorities

in the Departments of the Upper Alps hnd the Isere:
A letter from the Prefect of the Upper Alps, dated
the 4th March, and addressed to the Minister of War,
states that Bonaparte arrived at Cannes on the lst,
entered Seranon on the 2d, Castellane on the U.
Bareme on the same day ; that he would arrive at
Digne on the 4th, and, according to all appearance,
at Gap on the next day. The Marshal De Camp,
Commanding in the Department, proceeded immedi.
ately to the fortresses to superintend their defence.

Instructions have been addressed to the Sub-Pre.
teas to throw into them, if necessary, columns of the
Urban guards, and to hold them at the disposal of
the military adthority. All the Mayors of La Du•
rance have received orders to make every necessary
disposition for the defence of the River. AU mea-
sures of precAution with respect to the public chests
have been taken, and the communications with Va-
lence and Grenoble are well established.

The public spirit is good (says the Prefect in con.
eluding his letter), but being suddenly surprised, the
inhabitants could not afford important resources.—
However their sentiments of fi..telity may be for a mo
ment comprom:,ed, they can never be extinguished.

Lieutenant-General Count Marchand, Command-
ant of the first sub-division of the 7th Military Divi-
sion, writes from Grenoble to the Minister of War,
dated the sth of March, that upon the first news of
the landing of Bonaparte he assembled the General
Officers and Chiefs of the garrison, to make known
the news to them. All the Officers are animated
with the best spirit, and we may rely entirely upon

them. The soldiers will, like them, listen to thr
voice of honour and duty. Lieutenant-General
Mouton Duvernet has just passed Grenoble, going
to the Uprt.r Alps. Lieutenant-General Marchand
waited his reports to act. Government, adds he,.
may be sure that we are penetrated with the import.
ance of such an event, and that we will all do our
duty.
The same Lieutenant-General Count Marchand

writes under date the 7th, that he is informed of the
:initial of Bonaparte near Gap. He has united all
the disposable foree at Grenoble to preserve to the
ging the precious depot which that city centains.—
Lieutenant-General Mouton Duvernet has proceeded
up.in VAlence. All the dispdsable troops at Chem-
bery hate received orders to repair to Grenoble, as
well as WI Hussars from Vienne. A-Proclamation
addressed to the troops has produced the best effect
upon the minds of the soldiers and inhabitants.
A letter from Lieut.-General Mouton Duvernet,
datedsGrenable, 6th March, gives the following de-
tails s—" It has been agreed upon between the Ge-
neral and Lieutenant General Count Marchand, that
in case) which is to be presumed, says the•letter, that
Bonaparte, quitting Gap, should turn to the left to
avoid Grenoble, and should, through the mountains,
come by Sierre and Digne to pass the Isere either at
Romans, or Valence) the troops should be on the first
advice directed upon that point to unite with 150 of
the 4th light artillery, and IWO foot of the same re-
giment which are in that town.
66 Genial Mouton lluvernet protests that he will
draw from the feeble means in his disposition all pos.
sible good) and intreats his Excellency the Minister of
War, to rely upon his zeal, his activity, and his firm
resolution, to do, as well as all the soldiers under his
orders, his duty as a man of honour."
CHAMBER OF DEPUTISES.
SPEECH 01 THE PRESIDENT 01 THE CHAMBER ON

ADDRICIAING THI
66 Slat —The interest of the country, that of the
Crown, honour, liberty, call us around the throne to de-
fend it, and to be protected by it. The representatives
of the French people feel that it is wished to prepare
for them the humiliating lot reserved to the subjects of
tyranny.
“ If some French bands dare to raise the flame of
civil war, we are certain that the illustrious chiefs and
soldiers who have so long defended
enemies, will still lend to their country
of their swords: The National

nate Ettitilsttors s and this fine ltingdoin Will not
hibit to istnnished Europe the Shameful spectacle of
a nation betrayed by her own children.
Whatever may be the faults which have been
committed, this is not OE time to examine them.—
We ought all to unite against the common enemy,
and endeatour to render this crisis prostable to tl:e
security of the throne and to public liberty.
" We conjure you, Sire, to exercise all the Powers
which the Constitutional Chart and the Laws h.i'. e
placed in your hands. The Chambers, which your
confidence has convoked, will neither tail in their
duty to the Monarch nor to the French people.
will be, Sire, your faithful auxiliaries in giving to the
Government that strength which is necessary for the
safety of the State." •

Till KING'S ANSWER.

66 I have never doubted the sentiments of the
Chamber. I shall always unite with it for the safety,
the liberty, and the happiness of my pe,:ple."
The Director-General of the Police of ►ire Kingdcri
reillinds the public, that the laws relating to passports.
particularly those of the 29th March, 1792, and 20
Vendemiaire, year 4, order the urea of every
vidual travelling without a passport, and his deten-
tion, until he has been answered for by housekeepers,.
or has justified his inscription upon the list of the
commune of hls residence.

In consequence, the public is informed that Inca.
sures have just been taken to arrest every traveller who
shall appear without a passport at the barriers of
Paris, or without a regular feat de r cute in case he
should be a soldier.

The strictest observance of the laws and regnla-
dons upon passports is ordered throughout the king-
dom. Director of Police AIWISE.
