not chosen to preserve the original—it contains these
words: ` I have toned also minutes of three letters
written by Napoleon, of which one is without date.
I send you copies of them.
" These copies are evidently those of the letters
we have spoken of, of which two have forged dates,
and the third is without a date.

" They may also see an original letter of a per.
sonage which Lord Castlereagh cannot deny; the
letter is from Lord Wellington to Blecas, of the 4th
of January, 1815. It appears that the Government
of Louis had communicated to Lord Wellington the
correspondence of Napoleon with Murat, but as no
forgeries had then taken place, Lord Wellington re-
turned them with these words : see no proof
whatever here against Murat.
66 There is no contradicting such authority as this.
The fact is, that the Government of the Count de
Lille never ceased to insist at the Congress atVienna,
on the Restoration of the Sicilian Branch of the
Bourbons on the Throne of Naples ; but finding that'
these Powers having contracted Alliances with Murat,
could not but hesitate—recourse was had to forged
Idocoments to overcome these scruples, and thus was
composed this able correspondence which Lord
I Castlereagh has sebraitted to the British Parliament
las the basis of decision from which shall Mutt
peace or war.

" The Royal Forgers never supposed that their
flight would be so precipitate as to, be obliged to
leave behind them the most secret papers of their
Masters, by which not only has the base intrigue
come to light, but also an infinite number of others
equally atrocious, which took place in so short a
reign."

The following is given as Lord Wellington's Let-
ter, above alluded to :

" M. LE COMTE,.—.-I send you back the Papers.
I see nothing in them against Murat. They only
show that he had taken a part which he regretted
more and more every day; that he spoke highly of
his intentions not to harm Napoleon, &c. &c.; but
these letters in general, and those of Clarke in par.
ticular, prove that he was in actual war with France.
" Your's, &c.

Marceau ; it consisted of 15,000 men, and was
drawn up in order of battle in the Court of the
Thuilleries. After Mass the Emperor mounted on
horseback, and passed along the line. He was then
addressed by the Orator of the Confederation, in a
most energetic speech, which was often interrupted by
shouts of applause.
The Monileur gives no farther account, but pro-
mises the remainder in the number of the 16th.
A Decree is inserted of the 11th May, in which
Napoleon, in consideration of the Press being de-
clared free, declares that the 33 Inspectors of the
Booksellers are no longer necessary. They are
therefore suppressed, and a Commissary for the in-
