FLIGHT OF THE KING OF FRANCE

FROM PARIS
ENTRANCE OF BONAPARTE!

The crisis too plainly indicated by the complexion
of all the accounts for the last two or three days has
arrived. to have expected that any effectual resist-
ance would be opposed to the man who had been
permitted, unopposed, to approach so near to Paris,
with a military force openly organized against the
Poulton,' *ould hare betrayed great ignorance of
the motives and ptinciples which actuate a great por.
ton of the Fre:ich people, and all the soldiers of their
legular army&

Mr. BRACRENBURY, whose arrival with dispatches
we noticed in our paper of yesterday, was but the
hearer of intelligence of the rapid advance of 130NA-
PARTE upon the capital of France, which intelligence
was confirmed by the accounts brought yesterday
evening by Mr. Rommoze, the Messenger, who
arrived at six in the evening at Lord CASTLEREAGH'S
Office with dispatches from Lord F. SODIERSET. He
kft Paris at one o'clock on Monday morning, and,
ve are grieved to state, brings intelligence that the
Royal Family had found it neceuary to take their
departure from the Thu;lleries at eight o'clock on
Sunday evening, with no other prospect before them
than that of again becoming exiles from their native
country. It was known that BONAPARTE was to be
it Fontainbleau that night ; that the force which
vrai to oppose him at Melun could not be relied on,
►nd that all hupes of effectual resistance were vain.
The unfortunate Monarch, Louis xvni. slept at

itheville on Monday night, and horses were ready
;or him to proceed on Tuesday morning on the road
!() Calais. When he entered Abbeville he had with
.lim only three carriages, each with six horses. There
vas no attempt at incognito, nor had his MAJESTY
niy military escort.
At Abbeville, where the Kota was recited with
lints of rive & Roy ! he attempted, but was 'triable
'trim feeling, to addreu the people from the window
the Hotel of the Prefecture, where he lodged.—
The military in the streets, although disposed per-
, Inally to respet him equally with the inhabitants,
/bile in his presence, did not scruple to avow their
'tachment to BONAPARTE by the usual cry of rive
:Eafftereere I" Ind by songs in his praise at their
'/uard du Corps. lt is said to have been one of the
'4:6t touching scenes ever exhibited.
We anderstand that the Dispatches announce
'mon other (we shall not say unexpected) events,
'at the force under Marshal N EY had joined Dos A-
4kTa. NEY calls it a surrender, his soldiers refusing
1) fight againt the ENIPLUOR ; hut to all intents and
urposes, it was a junction. Upon the approach of
'INAPAILTE towards Melun being known, dip regular
"fxips had manifested a spirit which plainly indicated
'e part they meant to act, and the national guards
"tit were not in a condition to offer any resistance.
'l4 and other disastrous intelligence having reached
''r it would have been the height of madness in
:4-oyal Family to have remained any longer.
F.•,eiides the KINO, Mu:canon, the Duke de BERRI,
c:':er members of the Royal Family, a great

number of the faithful Nobility and Gentry had
quitted Paris. many of whom proceeded for the
Northern 'fortresses. or for the Netherlands.
We do not learn whether the unfortunate and inte-
resting Dottiest of ANcouLasts had reached Paris or
not from Buurdeauk, in time to accompany the
KING. Lord FITZROY SOMERSET. Vie understand,
attends his Majesty.

It had been brown that this Messenger would leave
Paris, at a time to permit his arrival here about the
hour when he actually came. A Cabinet Council,
which met at two o'clock yesterday, had risen at halt•
past four, and Lord CASTLEREAGH had gone to the
House of Commons; but his Lordship returned to
his Office at halt-past five, received the Messenger
himself, and to .k the dispatches from him with his
own hands. The Earls of BUCKINOHAXISIIIRE, Li-
vattpom., and Hannowar, came to the Office nearly
at the same moment. Lord C4SMEREAO/1 returned
to the House of Commons; the Earl of LIVERPOOL
carried the dispatches to the Panic' REGENT.

This morning, at six o'clock, later dispatches were
received, announcing the approach of the Royal
Family towards the coast. These dispatches arrived
first at the General Post-Office, and were instantly
carried to Lord CAsnzactort by Mr. FRIELING, the
Secretary.
By our letters from Dover we learn that 'AWLS
XVIII. slept at Montreuil on Tuesday evening.—
flat place is only about 26 or 27 miles from Calais.
Of course the Royal Family would reach that port
early yesterday morning ; and the presumption is
that they are by this time safely landed in England,
if no unforeseen impediment presented itself to their
embarkation.

The letters received this morning from all the
parts of the coast opposite to France concur in their
general statements respecting the departure of the
Royal Family from Paris, and the approach of Bo-
NAPARTE. They differ, as might be expected, in
some of the details, and the particulars brought from
the French ports farthest from the capital may be
suspected to be the least accurate. We however sub.
join them as they have reached us.
Though some of the letters from the coast mention
that 1301APARTE entered Paris on Monday, we think
there can be no doubt that it was on Tuesday, the
21st inst.—his son's birth-day. It has ever been a
part of his tactics to fix on what he calls fortunate
days for great events ; and on his first landing he
declared that on the anniversary of his son's birth he
would plant his Eagles on the Thuilleries.
What a prospect does these events present to Eu-
rope ! BONAPARTE again-at the head of the French
Empire, by what may be called the unanimous accla-
mation of the whole French army—an army aug-
mented..hy the release of all the French prisoners that
were in the hands of the Allies, probably not less than
300,000 in number, all panting to wipe oil' the dis.
grace brought on the 'trench arms by the discomfiture
of their Chief, and the capture of their Capital !
The question is not now whether the Powers of
Europe should carry on a war against the man who
has thus seized the Throne of France by a coufrdegnain,
in opposition to the sentiments of the sober part of
the French $ but whether they will allow themselves
to be trampled on and annihilated by the Corsican,
without an effort to ward off the ruin with which he
threatens them ? It will be seen, in another part of our
Paper, that the military preparations are very active.
Those in the Naval department are not less active.
Dispatches were forwarded last night, from the
Admiralty, to all the Port-Admirals, and Commis-
sioners, at the different Ports in England. They are
supposed to contain orders for a general impress and
for other measures, suited to the occason of an im-
mediate rapture with France.

e DOVER, MARCH U.

4, We are all 'consternation this day, and if zany
credit is to be given to the news from Boulogne,
we may expect to see the King of rliatliCe here In
the course of two or three days. .11

BONAPARTIS is said to have entered Paris on the
20th, the King having left the City and taken the'
road to Calais. His Majesty is reported to have ar-
rived at Montreuil last night, and that relays of
horses were placed on the toad from. thence to Calais
for the use of his Majesty and suite. The vessel that
brought this intelligence left Boulogne between seven
and eight this morning-6 t. in."
