FRENCH PAPERS OF. WEDNESDAY LAST.

We have this day received the Paris Papers of the
sth (last Wednesday). The only important article
which they contain is an account of Bourdeaux hav-
ing been entered by General CLausiu, on the '2l
instant, at the head of some Imperial troops. There I
appears to have been some blood shed on the occa-
sion. It appears, however, that there is still a Royalist
party in some force in the South : the statement that
the Government Couriers are there intercepted and
robbed of their dispatches by brigands and agitators,
is an admission of the fact. Whether they will be,
able to make any serious stand against the troops sent
to subdue them, will depend on the means they pos-
sess for resistance.
The Monitestr of the sth contains a copy of the
observations on the Vienna Declaration, to which we
have already alluded, and a decree for disarming
all the corps of the Royal Volunteers.
The object of the French Papers fur some time has
been to impress the people with the idea, that Peace
would still he maintained, notwithstanding the ex-
pulsion of the Royal Family. If we may judge
from the price of the French funds, that idea began
to dissipate,• as soon as the contents of the V
Declaration began to be known. The last prices of
the French 5 per cents. quoted in the Paris Papers, is
as low as 65 to 66—two days before the price WAS
68 a 69.
A Gentleman who left Paris on Wednesday night
informs us, that hitherto the English have been well
treated upon the whole; that the Government is at
great pains to induce a belief that there will be no
war ; that the people generally are ry ignorant re-
specting every thing going on scut of France ; that
the utmost force Which BON A PARTE can bring into
the field is estimated at NO, or 130,000 men ; and
that the Parisians are taught every day to expect the
ESIARPS—She was to have art wed on Tuesday—the
public were disappointed, but she is coming ! "
A Gentleman that left Bourdeaux on the id inst.
states, that when he quitted, 10,000 of BONAPARTIA
troops had entered that city ; that the British vessels
had immediately cut off all communication by water;
And that so anxious were the English to leave the
place, that 100 guineas were paid for each person's
passage to this country.

We hoped this day to have been able to lay before
our Readers the 4. Observations on the Declaration
of the Congress at Vienna," published in the Journal
de Paris, of which we yesterday gave an abstract,
but we are precluded by the length and importance
of the Discussions in Parliament last night, on the
Addreis upon the PRINCE Reozwr's Message.

The debate was conducted with great temper. On
the necessity of preparing for defence, and to main-
tain the rights of the Empire, there was bJt qne opi.
nion—and it will be seen from what passed, that both
Houses are equally anxious not to commit themselves
hastily on the question of war, though it seemed to
be the prevailing opinion that from present Circum-
stances this alternative might, 'ere long, be unavoid-
able.—ln the commons an Amendment was moved
;by Mr. WIIrpRIAD, praying the PRINCI RILORNT to
curt his most strenuous endeavours to maintain Peace
as long as may be consistent with the honour of his
Majesty's Crown and the security' of the Empire.—
The Amendment was negatived on the ground that
the Address did not pledge Pas Earnest in any way
on the question of Peace or War.
Lord Mrivici.E, in the Peers, and Mr. Omen, in
the Comnioni, stated that no will had been issued
to our ships to seize Frinehlvesiels. The instance or
twoihat hid occurred may;therefore, 6e' considered
as the' unauthorised acts of the 'Captors.
From Paperi relative to the person' and family of

beyond' doubt that BOSIIPARTI repebtedly requested

General Clausel arrived on the 31st of March .t
St. Andrie de Cabsac. The gets d'Arnies sent tar.
Bourdeaur to guard the pass jo.ned him. He wts
also joined by the garrison of ttie Fort of Blaye, wl.o
hoisted the tricoloured flag. S .me volunteers and
national 'guards, who occupied the 'fete-du punt de'
St. Vuicent, on the right bank, filed two cannon.sh,t
and hastily fled, while General Clausel seised
flying bridge. Next day, the Ist of April, the c
luntecrs, who had retiied to 13astide, passed the G.
wane, and took up a position on the Quay of Bot
deaux. General Clausel arrived at noon at Bastie.e
During this period the Duchess d'Angouleme rot
about every where to excite to resistance. Jfe we
from barrack to barrack haranguing the troops of :
line, and beseeched them to tight. Has :lig
a generalaird positive refusal, she returned qlite t
rious to Vie quay, and reviewed the Volunteet.,
drawn up in battle array opposite 13astide. SIX or-
dered a volley to be fired against General Oats( ,
and finding that our troops paid no attention to
and hearing nothing around her but murmurs at!.
the cries of the people, she disappeared. The Vv.
lunteers then, from what cause we know not, firs:.
upon each other. Several were wounded, and
Captain was killed by his own men. General Clause'
did not fire a musket.
A flag of truce came over to Mm. Daring try
time the Duchess of Angouleme, desperate at tb
failure of her efforts, released her partisans from the.
oaths, and quitted the city at eight o'clock in tb •
evening. She embarked at Pouillac.

A regiment of the line of the garrison of Paris,
and which furnished detachments to various posts,
and among others to the guatl-room of the Pont
Neuf, the Pont au Change, and the Mint, having re-
ceived another destination, set off yesterday morning,
after calling in its various detachments. Some posts
were consequently without any troops for s9me time,
and the idle, who swarm in this city, flocked together
in various places, and indulged in all kinds of con-
jectures, until the arrival ot fresh detachments from
another regiment of the garrison.
Tote communications with Germany, by the way
of Frankfort, are interrupted, but they are still open
by Manheim and Strasburgh.
It is pretended that the Congress of Vienna de-
clared, on the 13th of March last, on learning that
Napoleon had returned to France, that all the Allied
Powers were ready to give to the King of France and
the French nation, or to any other Government at-
tacked, the necessary assistance to restore public
tranquillity. There is strong reason to think, how-
ever, that the Allied Powers, who have neither the
wish nor the right to interfere in our affairs, on hear-
