was likely to take place in the garThon sharing his

Z:TITER TO PRINTZ OF LLK 4CM, MINISTER AT WAR
" Heail-quaritrs, at Thulium., April 4, 1815.
Nfrir.se:grumr,-1 icceivvd the Emperor's orders
1"1,1 Tule, on the •ht of April. Informed of the
events I:.tve passed in such rapid
s ccessiri:i since the IL: uf MM Cll, I would not have
f‘ir orders, to give the Emperor a new proof
'.l my ; but 1 had around me only a small
Ti: !,'"tr of dlicers and whalers. I was in a city of
ichabitants, where the presence of a Baron
ti "Ls. pretended Cunsmissioner.of the King, re.
• Pr"."til the zeal of good citizens who are the great
ni4Y"ity. My force was small ; Baron Vitrolles in-
crr4i.td his
by levies, which, though not numerous
andlll commanded, still produced him some com-
p4Liet.
" It Was in these circumstance. that Count de

Damas Cm: arrived at Toulouse, and was soon fol-
lowed by Marshal Perignon, whom the Duke D'An-
eouleme appointed to the command of the 10th diri-1
sion. This app,,iotrnont appeared to me singular ;
but as Mauhal Perignon received my communica-
tions coldly, I frit that th:s coldrwss, which did not
escape the loyalist party, increased its confidence. I
thence concluded that delay wes dangerous.
66 Four companies of Artillery, which they de-
spAred of att:tching to a cause totally lost, were re-
turning from Nistnes to Toulouse. Baron Vitrolles,
through the medium of Marshal Perignon, issued or-
ders for their retrograding on Narbonne. I eluded
this enter, and sent intelligent officers to tell the com-
panies to come to Toulouse as speedily as possible,
in ',pile of the orders of Marshal Perignon, which 1
took upon myself to disregard. My arrangements
being thus made, I thismorning at daybreak cAu3ed
Baron Vorolles to be arrested, and am making an
inventory of his papers. I also arrested the Count
de llamas.

44 I forthwith repaired to Marshal Perignon's, as
his powers ceased the moment I received those of the
Emperor. I proposed ;o him to put himself at the
head of the movement which I was preparing, volun-
tarily offering to sacrifice to I,:m the honour of the
day. The Marshal having shuffled and shewn weak-
ness, I did not press him ; I myself gave the signal,
and at five in the morning the tri-coloured flag was
floating en the steeples and public buildings ; at the
same hour the garrison resumed the national cockade,
with the acclaroations of an immense multitule.
%41 It is now D.id-day ; no excess has been commit-
ted, no symptorn of opposition appeals.
'6 Count de St. Aulaire, Prefect of this Dzpart•
meet, his ensidected himself well. Messrs. llamas
auhl Vitrolles have demanded permission to depart.—
I have left M. de Dams', whose capacity is not dim-
gemus, at leberty to pursue his route for Spain. As
to hl. de Vitrolles, I have thought it iciportaut to de-
tain him, on account of the character he displayed
here, and the infamous conduct he pursued. I await
in regard to him, the orders of the Emperor.
•• Generals Cassagno and Cassan seconded me
Perfectly in this affair. I have given the latter the
command i.t Toulouse, as the population is numerous,
and as that General seems to have a well organized
head. I have, &c. (Signed)
" Count Da LAts,,RDE, Lieut.. Gen."

Yesterday, atter mass, his Majesty reviewed twenty
regtonetits 01 c.svalry and litfatitt y, which had arrived
trout Orleans and the left Bank of the Loire. After
his Majesty had passed along all the ranks, amidst
the acclamatifitts of the troops and the people, who
covered the Place do Carousel, the officers and sol-
diets formed a circle, when the Emperor addressed
them nearly as follows :
_ _

Soldiers—l have just received accounts that the
tricoloured flag waves at Toulouse, at Montpelier,
and in all the South. The Commandants and gar-
risons of Perpignan and Bayonne formally declared
that they would not obey the orders given by the
Duke d'Aegouleme, to deliver these places to the
Spaniards, who have besides since communicated
that they would not interfere in our affairs. The
white Rag !toms at Marseilles alone t but before the
end of this week the people of that great city, op-
pressed dv the violence of the royalist party, will
have recovered all their rights. Results so great and
rApid are owing to the patriotism which an:►nates the
whole nation, and to the recollections which you have
preserve•l of me. If for a year unfortunate circum-
stances cornp,-lled us to lay aside the tricoloured
cockade, it was always in our hearts. It now be-
comes asset our rallying signal ; we wl quit it but
with life•." The Emperor was interrupted by uni-
versal cries Yes, we swe uric."

Soldiers," resumed the Emperor, ag we wish not
to intertcre with the Affairs of other nations; but woe
to those who s;ia:i v.isn to intermeddle with our's, to
treat us I;ke Genoa or Geneva, and impose on us
i,:her laws than those which the nation wills. They
shall find on our frontiers the heroes of Marengo, of
Austerlitz, and o► AMA; .they shall find there a whole
people; and if they have MAW men, we will op-
pose to rlitm two millions."—(The most lively ac-
clamations again interrupted the Emperor.)
."' I approve," he adtkd, of your rallying round
the tri-coloured standards. On the field of May, and
in the presence of the assembled nation, I will restore
to you those eagles, which► have been so often glori-
fied by your valour, and seen the enemies & France
in Hight. Soldiers, the French people and myself
depend upon you ;—depend also on the people and
on me."

A burst of the most ardent enthusiasm followed
this speech, and the review closed.

LYONS, APRIL 7.

Cenral Corbineau, Aid-de-Camp of the Empe•
tor, has arrived in onr city. The crowd of National
Gu.irds c,.m:ng from Darwin!), was such, that cou-
riers were ohligcd to be sent to countermand their
Ill Arch. _

I.:tutenant-General Grouchy has gone to Valente:
Li:Ant:llalit-General Pitt must be at this time with
the advanced guard at Avignon. The rash enter-
plise sit' the Doke d'Augoinenie may be considered
.ts iermin.tted. It will only have served to spew the
attactimcitt of our city tb the Emperor, and that of
Dauphine and Burgundy.

EX I BAC l'S FROM THE REPORT MADE TO THE MINISTER

01 WAIL BY THE SUB-PREFNCT Olf VALENCE.

'‘ On the 3d of April, at seven o'clock in the morn-
ing, the troops of the South arrived within sight of
Valence; they were preceded by a staff-major, co:--
sitting of the Duke J'Aogouleme, Lieutenant-General
D.tultanne, Marshal-de•C.unp Datiis, Ste. who were
all lodged in t..e city. Thi: Duke d'Angouleme im-
mediately moved, at the head of twelve to fifteen
hundred men, on the, road of Valence to Grenoble.
66 The next day, the 4th of April, the Duke d'An-
gouleme gave audience, named a new Prci'ect, dis-
placed me, and then replaced me : no military move-
meot took place; some companies of volunteers ar-
rived from the south, and increased the effective
strength of his troops to the number of 4 or 5,000
men : that is, 800 men of the 10th regiment of the
line, 400 men of a foreign regiment, and 2 or 3,000
royal volunteers.
•• On the sth of April, the approach, of 'his Ma-
jesty's troops induced those of the south to evacuate
Romans, repass the Isere, and alter burning the
bridge of Romans, to place themselves, at its
o'clock in the eve,ning,-beyond Valence, on the road
of Montelimart.

The fact which we intimated a few days ago, that
something like a correspondence hetween France and
this country had actually commenced, was confirmed
by an answer given last night by the Earl of Lives-
POOL to a question asked by the Duke of NORFOLK,
" Whether any overtures had been made by the pre-
sent Ruler of France to his Majesty's Ministers r'
The answer was, that overtures had been received
from France ; that propriety prevented a diselrsure
of the nature of them ; but, such as they w're, his
Majesty's Government had judged it expedient to
transmit them to Vienna.

This being the fact, of course noshing can be pnsi.
tively known, whatever may bz inferresbfrom the mi.
l ;any preparations, respecting the question of war,
till a disp itch have been retur:!el from Vi,:nna.
—ln the mean re Government, so far from relax-
ing in their preparations for carrying on the war with
virur, should that alternative be found unavoidable,
are employing the utmost activity to be prepared for
the event. Yesterday the Transport Board gave no.
tice that large transports from '2OO to 500 tons bur.,
then are waisted for the public service: the WM
one guinea per ton, for six months certain. Troops
still continue matching to the coast for embarkatim,-
and yesterday several vessels were laden with soldiers
muskets, and proceeded immedi ttely for Ostend.
A number of vessels of the smaller class were also
laden yesterday with corn for the supply of the caval-
ry transports. _ _

On the other hand, the enemy is not idle. Among
our extracts from Paris Papers to the 11th, received
last night, will be found an Address of NAPoLaoN to
twenty regiments of cavalry, reviewed at Paris on the
`9th, in which, after repeating the declaration that
France wishes not to take any active part in the af-
fairs of other nations, he states that should the other'
Powers bring their 600000 men against France,
France will oppose to them 9,000,000. During this
theatrical exhibition the French farce called " Perjury"
was repeated," amid the repeated acclamatiens of the
[pious] people who filed the squat e of the Carousel."
They are never in future to lay aside the three co-
loured cockade but with their I;ves".44 Telt we :wear
it." Who ? The very men who, not a year ago,
'swore they would maintain the Throne of the Bour-
bons as that of the legitimate Monarchy of France ! I
It would appear that the Bounims really believed
that this oath was to them a sufficient security for
the sale occupancy of the thyme of their forefathers
—such a security that
.any ICud of coition or cram.
mon prudence on their part was quite unnecessary.
In proof of this, were proof wanted after witnessing
the fact of one fallow at the head of a paltry gang
of 600 men being permitted to ma! from them the
throne and the king.lom, we refer our Readers to the
Authaitic Narrative of Me late Evrti in France,"
given in our columns this day, and which we under-
stand is official on the part of the late Government.
—Need we add ?—lf the Allies must again have
war with France, it is to be hnped they will be as cau-
tious as they have hitherto always bet noever to com-
mit themselves on the question of restoting the Bowe-
s: ma, or forcing any Government whatever upon
France. If war is unavoidable let it be as in 1813,
only with BONAPARTZ, and with his supporters only
as such. By pursuing this line of policy the same
result may follow as when France was last invaded ;
—the people relying on the good faith of the Allies
remained at home, deaf to all the calls of Nvomms,

even when the invading army was marching throtigh
their country.
Our private letters from' Par It, which are of the
same date as the Journals, infirm us that an increased
I activity is apparent in the War Department, and
troops frequently marrli;nt: to the South against if e
Royalists, .nd ra the N ,rth against the Airos. The
licence permitted to spe...l; with freedom in public
assemblies is now quite at an end ; and our country.
men no longer experience tly same civility in the
public streets. In fa7r, the:. are daily imulted, and
in consequence are quitting in great mambas.
