Since yesterday morning the white flag has been

neral Dausmenil, governor of the tomes:, and his
garrison, are acquainted with the arrival of the. King,
and are round his Maje►ty u the common
center of Frenchmen.
M. Tabnie, formerly Chief of Division to the War
Department, is, appointed Intendant of the King's
Household.

A letter from Rochefort, dated the Bth instant,
from an Officer of Marines to a brother Officer in
Paris, contains the following paragraphs:- • •
" The great Napoleon is within OUT walls. He is
lodged at the hotel of the Prefect. His being in our
neighbourhood gives us some uneasiness, but it is ex-
pected we shah be relieved from it this very day.—
I The vessels are ready. Among other articles embark.
ed, we have seen a great number of chests full of
gold and silver placed on board. An English cruiser
watches us closely. It appears Napoleon judges the
moment to be little favourable for his escape. He
has in fact waited too lone, and at this moment it is
no easy thing ; further delay will make it still more
difficult. Thus circumstanced, all calculate that the
attempt will assuredly be made this night.
84 Joseph Bonaparte is also here to embark. They
do not as before name any persons who are to sail
with the two brothers but Generals Bertrand and
Becker."
