BREMEN, APRIL 23.
An official report from the bead-quarters of Count
Benningsen, Commander in Chief of the Russian Po-
lish Atm'', dated Pinneberg. April 21, states, that
immediately on the receipt of the official accounts of
the taking of Paris, and of the declaration of the
• french nation, and its constitutional authorities to
the Allied Sovereigns and against Napoleon Bona-
parte f• Count Benningsen thought it necessary to
write to the Marshal Prince of Eckmuhl with his own

band, a letter representing, that under such a change
of circumstances, and 'with the near prospect of a ge-
neral peace, be ought not to be guilty of the blood that
_ might yet be wantonly shed before the walls of Ham.
burgh. The Marshal thanked him for the commimi-
vation of the news, without any particular eepression
of his sentiments. Soon the expected courier from
Paris arrived with dispatches from the Provisional
-Government, which were forwarded by Count Den-
bingsen. The Marshal returned a written answer
by a Colonel Conarnandiog in the, outworks, that the!
Emperor and King Napoleon, his master, would not;
send him any orders by ltussian Officers, and that
consequently he could not-accept and open the dis-
patches. Meantimet in spite of the most strict police,:
.the truth.spread in„the city and outworks of Ham.
burgh. The soldiers and officers deserted whenever
they could 4nd a way. The M4rshal has taken away
the rest of the bank, coins, silver, and exchanges
money ; and the sale which has begun of immense
magazines has reduced the tirst necessaries of life be-
low the usual price.

. BLANKENESE, 41'RIL 46.
General Oppermap and Marshal Davoust have had
a conference at Altona, and concluded an armistice for
14 days : in case the courier should arrive from Paris

ror of Austria, King of Hungary and Bohemia, his

having transmitted to the French Government propo-
sals for a general peace, and being at the same time
animated with the wish, in case Fiance should reject
these proposals, to strengthen the mutual obligation
existing between them for the vigorous prosecution
of a war which is designed to relieve Europe from
its long sufferings and to secure its future repose, by
the re-establishment of a just balance of power ; and
on the other band, in case NOVIDENCE should bless

object of the wir, as they have agreed upon it among tbenuelvee,
shall be fully obtained.
" Art. IIL In order to blitain this great object as soon akpoo-
sible, his Majesty the King of Great Britain engages to furnish a
subsidy of ,e 5,000,000 sterling for the service e the year 1014,
which shall'be equally divided between the three Powers; and
their Imperial and Royal Majesties further engage to settle before
the Ist of January of every [attire year, in case (which GOD for.
bid) the war should contiuue so long, the advance in money that
may be necessary in the course of the subsequent year.
" The subsidy of £5,000,000 herein specified, shall be paid at
London in monthly instalments, and in equal proportions, to the
Ministers of the respective Powers duly anthorised to receive it.
" In case peace should be concluded between the Allied
Powers and France before the end of the year, the subsidies cal.
culated at the rate of X 5,000,000 per annum, shall be paid to the
end of the month in which the definitive treaty shall be signed;
and his Britannic Majesty promises, over and above the subsi-
dies here stipulated, to pay to Austria and Prussia the amount of
two months, and to Russia of four months, to defray the expenses
of the march of their troops back to their own territories.
Art, IV. The high contracting Powers shall be mutually
authorised to have Officers duly commissioned with the Gene.
rats commanding those armies, who may freely correspond with
their Governments and acquaint them of the military events,
and of every thing relative to the operations of the armies.
" Art. V. Though the high contracting Powers have reserved
it to themselves, in the moment when peace shall be concluded
with France, to consult with each other on the means by which
they may most certainly secure to Europe, and reciprocally to
emit other, the maintenance of this peace; they have nrrerthe-
less thought it necessary for the defence of their European pos-
sessions, in case of au interference to be apprehended from
France, in the order of things resulting from the said peace, to
make immediately a defensive convention.
" Art. VI. For this end they mutually agree, that if the dont'-
.
-mons of one of the high contracting powers.should lee threateeed
with an invasion front France, the rest shall leave no motias an
ruled to prevent such !evasion by amicable mediation.
" Art. VII. But in case such endeavours should be fruitless,
the high contracting powers engage to send to the party attached
an auxiliary army of 60,000 men.
" VIII. This army shall consist of 50,000 foot, and 10,000
horse, with a proportionate train of artillery and ammunition.
Care should be taken that it shall take the field at the very latest
in two months after it is called for, and in the manner most
effectual for the Power s‘i attacked or threatened.
" Art. IX. As on account of the situation of the theatre of war
or for other reasons, it might be difficult for Great Britain to fur-
nish the stipulated assistance in English troops within the ap-
pointed time, and keep them up to the full war compliment, his
Britannic Majesty reserves to himself the right, to furuish
his contingent to the power requiring it, either in foreign troops
in his pay, or to pay an anauat sum, at the rate of LatO Keeling
for every fact soldier, and .CJO for every horseman, to the full
amount of the stipulated contingent. The manner in which Great
Britain will have to afford its assistance. in every particular case,
shall be arranged by an amicable agreement between the British
Government and the power attacked or threatened, at the same
time that the assistance is required. The same principle shali be
extended to the number of troops wt bah his Britannic Majesty
engages to furnish by the first article of the present treaty.
" Art. X. The auxiliary army is under the immediate command
byes General Us Chief of the requiriuipower ; but it shall be led
itown General, and employed in all military operations ac-
cording to the rules of war. The pay of the Auxiliary Army to
be at the charge of the Tower requiring. The rations and por-
tions of provisions forage &c. as also quarters, will be
furnished as soon the Alitiliary Army has passed its own
frontiers, by the Power requiring, and be supplied according to
the same standard as it supplies its own troops, in the field and
he quarters.
" Art. XI. The military regulation
. and economy in the interior
effiniiiisttaiion of the troops depends wholly on their uwo Gene-
ral. The trsphies taken from the enemy belong to die troops
which have gained them.
" Art XIL The High Contracting Powers reserve to them-
selves the right, in case the assistance herein stipulated alseold be
found insufficient, to make, without less of time, new arrange-
ments for further assistance.
" Art. XIII, The High Contracting Powers reciprocally pro-
mise, that in case one of other of them should he drawn into hos-
tilities by furnishing the succour herein stipulated, neither the
requiring party, nor party engaged in war as an auxiliary, shall
make peace, except with the. consent of the other.
" Art. XIV. The engagements contracted by this Treaty shall
by no means detract from those winch the High Contrasting'
Powers mayi4ve entered already into with other Powers, nor
hinder them from concluding alliances with other States, which
may have fur their object the attainment of the same happy result.
" Art. XV. In order to give greater effect to the above stipu-
lated defen.ive arrangements by the uttipu of the Powers most
eeposed to a French invasion, fur their common defence, the
High Contracting Courts have resolved to invite those Powers
to join the present Treaty of defensive alliance.
" Art. XVI. As it is the object of the present Treaty of de-
fensive alliance to maintain the balance of power in Europe, to
insure tip repose and independence of the different Powers, and
to prevent the arbitrary violations of the rights and territories of
other States, by which the world has suffered for so many years
together, the High Contracting Powers have agreed to 04 the
duration of the present I ftaty for twenty years, reserving it to
themselves, if circumstances should require it, to proceed to the
prolongation of it three years before its expiration.
" Art. XVII. The present Treaty shall be ratified, and the
ratifications exchanged within two months, or sooner if pooffile.
" In testimony whereof, the respective Plenipotentiaries have
signed these Presents, and affixed their Seals.

PARIS, APRIL 27.
A note from the Commissary of the Government
in the War Department, orders, that all soldiers who
May, without producing 'a discharge, present them-
selves at the Prefectures, Sub-Prefeettres, and Muni-
cipalities, and demand billets or routes, shall be consi-
dered as having abandoned their colours, either from
having falsely interpreted the orders of Government,
or from some other motive. The Public Authorities
are therefore ordered not to give them the routes ap-
plied for : but on the contrary to make them join
their corps,according to the instructions already given.
These military will hereafter receive their pay and
dismissal, if upon examination they are found entitled
thereto.
Another Order of the Day, issued by the Minister
at Way, and dated April 22, enjoins that a month's
I pay and appointments shall be given to every soldier
in the French armies. Previously to this donation
being issued, the different corps are to be reviewed,
and after an examination, those present are to be en-
titleti to the above donation,
AU natives of Germany, who have served in fo-
reign regiments. in the pay.of France, and who are
detained in the civil or military prisons for desertion,
are, by order of Monsieur, to be liberated.
By an express order of the Grand Master of the
University of France, the use of the drum, first in.
troduced by Napoleon Bonaparte, is ordered to be
suppressed in all the Lyceums. Colleges, Scholastic
Institutions, and Boarding Houses. The signal fin
assembling will be as formerly, the sound of a bell.
The dress of the pupils will be the same in each esta-
blishment ; bot it will be no longer a military uniform.
One of the most deplorable pecrees issued by the
oppressive Government which has been so happily
overturned, was, without doubt, that which, contrary
to every principle of national morality, established
the punishment of the galleys, public infamy, and
even death itself, for simple eustoin,lensse nu'a'nces ;
apd which instituted extraordinary trib 031.44 tor thy
rigorous application of these pgnistiinents. How
many unfortunate fathers, especially in Holland, the
principality of Embden, and other maritime countries
of the North, invaded by the Usurper, were inhuii
aunty condemned in virtue of this atrocious Decree,
which had not even received the sanction of the Le,
gislatiye Body. The following affecting letter on
this subject was lately written by his Mjesty the
King of Prussia, to the Advocate entrusted with the
defence of many of these smugglers:
