best health. •

St. Cloud, October' 17.

To-day (Sunday); on returning from mass, her
Majesty the Empress Queen and. Regent gave an
audience to the Municipal Corps of the city of Paris,
who were presented to her by his Excellency the Mi.
nister for the Interior. The Prefect of the Depart-
ment of the Seine, as President of the Municipal
Corps of Paris, had the honour of presenting to her
Majesty the following Address, which had been voted
by the Municipal Corps :

" MArmm—What Frenchman could remain deaf

to the voice of the EmperOr, to the call of the coun-
try, and that of honour ? The appeal which your
Majesty has just made has reverberated in all hearts
—they feel the necessity of declaring those generous
sentiments, which were at all times the noble inherit-
,
ance of France.

,s That esteem which your Majesty. so long. ago
conceived for this great nation—the love which you
bear it—the hopes which you have given rise to, shall
not be deceived ; the august daughter of Maiia The-
resa can never in vain invoke the courage and,energy
of nations; Frenchmen will have no-rivals in their
love for their Sovereigns ; •
sacrifices—no efforts
can bn painful to them, when honour commands
them : they would not know • how to live without
glory, and never shall the crown of their Emperor be i
despoiled of its laurels. Such is the unanimous oath
which they to-day take at all points of the Empire—
such are the sentiments which the good City of Paris
come to express to yen, by carrying to the feet of;,
your Majesty the tribute of its respect and of its
devotion.

" Never did the bond which attaches and unites
subjects round their Sovereign, demand to be more
strengthened ; jealous powers already divide among
themselves portions of this fine empire ; they even
convey and negociate respecting them, before having
acquired any right over them. And in order to ren _
der this delirium still more odious in the annals of
history, a Prince who owes his renown but to the ho-
nour of fighting in our ranks, is the first to set this
unheard-of example. He collects all those whom
hatred and the love of intrigue had forced fat from
us ; he misleads the policy of a nation at all times
our ally ; he compromises a throne to which the gold
offices of his Emperor conducted him ; he directs,
without remorse, and with good will, the sword against
•
his country.
"He has ceased to be a Frenchman let us' far.
get that he had a country ! But will his image be
preserved among those of our faithful heroes ? But
if some misled Frenchmen remain with him, will they
be able to forget the honour which reproves them,
laws which condemn them, and sacred oaths which
bind them ? Let us turn from a thought so painful,
and let the remembrance of this memorable ingrati-
tude, if it is possible, be for ever effaced.
' 64 Madam, it is by redoubling their zeal and love ;
it is by fixing their attention upon that august throne
to which your Majesty has carried, with all the vir.
tues, the noble courage of, your Grandmother, that
the inhabitants of the good city of Paris will anxiously
endeavour, as faithful subjects, to discharge all that
they owe to their Prince and to their country.
22 We are, with the most profound respect, Madam,
your Imperial and Royal Majesty's very humble 2
very submissive, very faithful subjects,
44 The Mamma of the MUNICIPAL CON'S
of the CITY of PAtise."

MILAN, SEPTEMBER 14.
His Serene Highness the Prince Viceroy has
thought proper to call to the defence of the country

a certain number of conscripts belonging to the dm
of the conscription anterior to 1814.

His Serene Highness has-caused the Decree issue,
by him on this subject, to be preceded by the Procla
oration which we are going to make publii.
There is no Italian who can reathis Proclamatiot
without emotion, and who will not hasten to justify the
hopes and the wishes of the Prince and of the nation.
The Decree of the Prince Viceroy was issued oc,
the 11th instant, at the head-quarters of Gmdesca
it contajns the following dispositions :
Art. 1. From the Conscriptions of the years 180 S,
1809, 1810, 1811, 1812, and 181*, there shall b?
raised 15,000 men for the service of the attire arm!
2. The levy A 11l be in proportion to the numbc:
of men who are disposable from the classes of tee
years.

3. The drawing shall take place within 15 day
from the publication of the present decree.
4. The Minister at War Than make known the de-
pots to which the conscripts shall be &wed.

PROM,* MATION.
" People a the Kingdom of Italy--You were the.
happy witnesses of the first exploits of the Hero who
presides over our destinies ; yon are, on this *crow,
more constantly present to his thoughts, and more
dear to his heart.

66 Scarcelthad he re-established with histriumphan:
hands the -throce of Charlemagne, than the throat
wis.streasthened and confirmed for ever. All French•
men swore to support and detood him; they have been,
faithful to their oaths.

a But what the Emperor bad done for France was
not sufficient for his great soul. He could not be in.
sensible to the fate of Italy. His first wash was cal
render to you also .youraocient existence, and your)
former renown. •-•- .

" He placed upon bi,s
,head tile too long forgotten
Iron Crown ; and the arches of your temple mound•
ed with those memorable words—Dieu me Pa Await,
lore a qui la toucht.

" Those words excite d your animalism, and even
your piide • you appreciated the true sense of them,
and you then unanimously repeated—Dieu la lui a
doanel, gare a guila touche.

66 From thatmOment the kingdom of Italy existed ;1
from that moment, Italians re-created, recollected the!
glory of their ancestors ; from that moment, in the
eyes of astonished Europe, they held their place sa
the midst of the most honoured nations.
go Italians ! I know you ; you also will be faithful
to your oaths.

a An enemy who, for a length of time, has occa•
sionally subjected you, and who in past ages most
contributed to divide you, in order never to have to
fear you, has not seen without uneasiness, and with-
out jealousy, your resurrection, and the eclat with
which it is surrounded.

" For the third time he now dares to threaten your
territory and your independence. •
44 You hAve valiantly ran to repress his first efforts:
you will not delay making him repent the third.
“ How many fresh motives now excite your pa.
triotism and your valour

" You have not forgotten what you wer* twelve
years ago ; you are wouby of feeling what you lave
since become.

" The land which recreated you, has given you
the moat noble and most generous institutions.—
Those institutions et once con4titute your pride and
your felicity; you will not sutler that they would dare
attempt to ravish them from you. Italy Italy ! let
this sacred name, whist, in antiquity, brought forth
so many prodigies, be now your rallying cry.
" Let your young warriors rise it this ay; let
them fly in crated: to harm a second rampart to the
country, being* which the enemy will not dare to pre
sent 'himself.

41 The brave man who is figbing for his home, Ms
1
family,—for the glory and independence of his coun•
try, is always invincible.

64 Let the enemy be-forced to remove from our
territory, and let us soon be able to say to our august
Sovereign, 4 Sire, we were worthy of receiving from
you a country,—we have known how to defend it.'

Several letters received Wan theenvirons of Dant-
zic announce that General Rapp has made a succe,s•
ftd sortie, and that the garrison, has been again pro-
visioned for a long time. It appears that the besteg.
ing corps suffered much in this affair.
.PRONT4ERS OF SAXONY , OCTOBER I.
The fortress of Magdeburg is in the best possible
condition ; it is,well provisioned, and has a nume•
sous garrison. There is a FrenCh corps stationed is
the neighbourhood of that fortrels.
Accounts from the Hanseatic Departments an-
nounce, that the Prince of Eckmuhl is still behind
the Stekenitz, in the position where he for some time
has had his forces concentrated. He,..at the same
time, covers Holstein and the Hanseatic towns.--
j Some French squadrons occupy the small country
of Euten, belonging a& the' Duke of Oldenburg.
We have no recent intelligence from Leipsic, but
it appears that the Austrian' corps d'armee, wider
Prince de Lichtenstein, has again been obliged to
fall back.

9.—The safety of the communications be-
tween Erfurth and Leipsic, and between Leipsic and
Dresden, is completely re-established. Since the
corps of Marshal Augereau, Duke of .Castiglione,
has been at Jena and its neighbourhood, the enemy
has no'more appeared in the vicinity of the Saale.--
The united French armies of the Prince of niskrap
and the Duke of Ragusa, form at present a formi-
dable line which extends from Magdeburg and J3arby
upon the left bank of the Elbe to Dessau, Leipstc,
and Wittenberg. The enemy's troops of the army
of Berlin occupy the opposite bank of the Elbe.—
That army has its heackuartert in the town of Zerbsc-

and the Prussia Genera Bulow, the left wing.

grtracts from Paris Papers 'to the 25d, will be
found in our columns 'of to-day. They now Silently
admit the truth of all 6ii C. STtWA.RTI s and LOrcl.l
Assanasts's information. Dresden is abandoned by
tge main body of the French army.-.43oumiassva
has retreated Upon Leipsic, and the communications
bettreert his army-and' Paris, are 1 completely
stroyed." A tilpwithic* dispatch'. (mark this new'
vehicle of information) reailes Paris onthe 214,
Mentz, stating 'that on the
_tills, MUltAts 14E4 and
AtI6ERCAI.4 had beatthe enemy “ wherever they met
him." Where these occurrences took place we are nbt j
told—but we must either believe that the scene of
action lay at the distance of a thousand miles, or that
the communications between the Saale and Mentz are
so inttrrupted, that the moit circuitous of all routes
must necessarily be resorted to.
Another dispatch (telegraphic also) states, that

AUGICREAU'S cavalry sabred or took 800 men between
INTaumburg and Weissenfels. This affair was probably
that in which Pl./am:es al Death's Head Hussars"
ushered thCmselves so unceremoniously into the pre.
sence of General Count LIISESVKE DES Nouarres,
and ran of with his cannon and two thousand of
his men.

But where was it the magnanimous Emperor
NAPOLEI3N" during all these "brilliant successes?"—
This, we have no doubt, Is precisely the first question
asked ever' morning at Paris as it is in London.—
But neither:an estafette nor a telegraph can now give
any information*-The 44 Merchants" of Frankfort
and Leipzic are the only persons who know any thing
of their munificent Patron, the founder of the Conti-
nental system. Upon their authority we learn, that

Oa the Bth the Wolf was seen near Leipzic—and on
or about the XOth had proceeded to Eulenbourg.—
this place is half way between Leipzic and Torgau ;
and if he took any ty9ops with him, we are inclined
to think that the alarm excited at Berlin on the 13th
was not without cause. it may be true that on the
10th the.Freach army in acid around Leipzic had
offered battle, but it must have•been to the windmills
on the Saale, for according to Sir C. STEWART and
Lord AnzantEtes dispatches, the Allied Armies
could not be in position so early ; besides, they had.
chosen their gronnerconsidexably nearer the Rhine.
From the French Journals we can learn nothing of
the intentions of the leader of their army—escape,
!vrever, he cannot from present danger, but by,
throwing.a somerset backwards towards Berlin, or
forward upon the Rbine: and there w.:5 a time when
we could have ventured to predict, that the chances

against his falling on his feet were as ten to one.—
He has, however, escaped from as forMidable dan.
• sers already, and he may probably hope to winter
more securely in the Marche of Brandenburgh, thin
in the Plains of Saxony—trusting to what he calls his
" irrevocable destiny," for ultimate deliverance.. In
the me.in time the Allies may extend their armies
ever the whole of the fine countries between the Elbe

and the Rhine, and the Cossacks will have a 'chance
of warming their fingers at'the fire-sides of the Pari-

.
• .iant cid.* • the Oi.titek. We have the littikhdiey of
Sir C. STEIVART for saying, that BONAPATITIA will
cling to the last moment to the line bf the Elbe—and
we perfectly coincide with that acute and intelligent
•kserver, in thinking thatareftat towards the Rhine, 1
with " the.eyes tithe alliedatmy" glaring full upon
hirn—the Cossacks at his heels, would be too pro-
ductive of " unpleasant recollections" to be hazarded,
while there weie- the least flickerings of hope in the
) •
wings-of the Imperial Eagle. t.
A speech from an idiot, calling himself the Prefect
of the. Department of the Seine, is so contrived as to

libel the memory of the dead, in an invocation to the
manes of MARIA l'utaesA, and to take away the
good name, and repuiation of the CROWN Pains of
Swenast: MARIA LOUISA is reminded that her Grand-
water was Colonel in the Army,. and her aunt a
Justice of the Peace; and she is told with as much

truth, that Frenchmen have no rivals in their love for
Sovereigns I 44 they cannot live without glory," and
g, never shall the Crown of the Emperor be despoiled
of its laurels 1" Precious trash ! uttered too perhaps
from the lips of a quondam disciple of the butcher
Legendre, who swor,e eternal hatred to Royalty "all
over the world !"

• The attack Upon the CeowrcPerrrez is more “ Ger-
man to the matte?' than this 'upon the memory of the
Grandmother of France. The PRINCE ROYAL of
SWEDEN is a more dangerous enemy than the Ghost
Of MARIA THERESA. He is, in short,,a perfect Cata.
line, according to this booby of a Prefect—who, thank
HEAVEN, is himself no CICERO.

From the side of Italy we have no military details,
but in oneline, we are told that the army of Italy
has fallen back upon the Izonzo.—Lest we should
riot.comprehend the meaning of this, there next ap-
pears a Proclamation for a fresh Conscription. All
this balderdash, when done into English, means that
BEAOHARNOIS has been woefully beaten and driven
behind the Izonzo. The Iron Crown—a prominent
feature in all modern proclamations from Italy, is
again taken from the shelf, to overawe the descend.
ants of the Romans. Why nut exhibit the Iron
Sceptre also, as an emblem of the mild and placid
" NAPOLEON with the Iron Crown ?"

Since writing the above, French Papers one day
later in date have arrived. They do not contain any
news of importance, nor have the Funds been in the
least affected by them.

Yesterday, at two o'clock, the first Cabinet Coun-
cil since Ministers came to town to prepare for the

Monday evening, as the Duke of YORK was re-
turning from Windsor, through Hammersmith, his

body of the cal riage was not damaged. His Royal
