THE STATESMAN.

LONDON:
lAT URD AY, MARCH 18, 1815.

A French Mail arrived this morning with the
Paris Papers of the 14th. It is believed Government

receive& dispatches by the same conveyance, but

their couteias or that of the tettertbrite Mill

not transpired at the time we commenced this notice.
We, therefore, proceed to the communications made
in the French Papers. These are not calculated to
gratify public anxiety with regard to the real state of
affairs in France. The latest intelligence in these
Papers from the Capital is up to four o'clock in the
afternoon of Tuesday. What happened in the sub.
I sequeut part of the day is therefore unnoticed, The
accounts of yesterday stated, that Bo NA rA RTE entered
Paris either on Tuesday night or on Wednesday. Some,
Gentlemen, who are said to have left Paris on Wed-
nesday morning, assert that up to that moment hecee.)
tainly had not arrived, but he was confidently expect-
ed. With respect to the accounts given in the French
Papers of BoM Pi WM'S progrets and strength, they are

meagre indeed, and will be read with disgust. lie is !
represented as still at Lyons " a ith a worn-out and
miserable body of troops, not exceeding five or sic
thousand men." How does this agree with the
possession of such important and populous places as
Lyons and Grenoble, and the consternation and
alarm which pervade every part of the French Go.
vernment The King had not at the date of the Pa.
pers before us• left his capital. " He maintains all
his wonted firmness and dignity." He was holding •
Councils and the customary Addresses from the Civet
and fortune-men, who do nothing but talk, were
pouring in. Fatal deception ! Truth never bursts in
upon Kings, but with the violence of the storm •,. this
more dreadful from its having been neglected, and its I
thunders set at nought. Sovereigns who keep not the
professions they make will rely in vain on the sinteri.
ty of professions of attachment made to.thentseives
—Sovereigns who rest the safety of their thrones on
the assistance of foreign power, and not the hearts of
their subjects, rest the glory of their crowns and the,
happiness of their people on the most precarious end
unstable of foundations. It is stated, says a Paper

AItRIVAL OF FRENCH PAPERS OF THE 13rn.
We have this instant received the Paris Papers of
Wednesday ; they are published iu the morning.—
BoNAPARTII had not entered Paris up to that date,
nor had the King quitted it. The state of the in-
vader's army is represented in the Papers just re,
ceired,as similar to the condition it was stated to be in
by the former accounts; but still it is inconsistently
admitted, that great defeetidfis have taken place, and
that much treachery prevails. The following are
extracts :

PARIS, bisect; 14.—The Prince of Moskwa
I(Ney), was, on the 11th, at Lona-sur-Soulnier,
marching upon Lyons, with a corps of troops of the
line and National Guards, who were all impatient to
:maitre their swords with Bonaparte. Some of his
people had shown themselves between Macon and
Chalons, seemingly occupied with sounding the dis-
position of the people. 'Travellers from Lyons have
announced, that on the 11th at night Bonaparte was
`with his troops there, apparently exhausted with
fatigue. His force appeared to be about 4000 men,
land a few hundred bone.
Lieutenant-General the Count D'Erlon, who, it
will be recollected, was the President of the Court.
Martial that acquitted Excellentes, has been arrested
at Lisle, by order of the king.

Marshal Maley has snesisd fire, persons at La.

rAttlit Meello {tit A, )), Capt. Marzac,
of dig King's Regiment, General C Lai!emend, of
the Artillery (brother of the former), and Ms servant.
flefides General Lefebro the General of Artillery
Maxie, and the Colonel of the Royal Chasseuie
Brice, have also fled to Bonaparte.
Bonapartb, by the last accounts, had not quitted
Lyons. His march had been rapid, but he bus beast
obliged to stop ; he had traversed the departments
between Lyons and Frejus, without being able to oc-
cupy them ; he finds himself isolated in the middle of
France, without aid. Ile calculated op receiving it
from the North, but the good genius of France pre.',,
vented it. There certainly have been traitors, but
most of them are either in chains, or have fled, and
many have already returned, and solicited clemency i
from the King. Every thing is now in order. The
most decisive measures are adopting to restore the
traequillity of the country., The orders of govern-
meat are now received and executed with precision.
Addresses of fidelity abound in all directions. Among
others the following have been received. Isere follows
a list of about 50 cities.—(A(onileur.)
The Monileur also contains a long ordonnance of
the King's Secretary of Finance relative to the ar,
reogemeet of that department ; and a Proclamation
of, the Duke De Feltre(Clirke) who succeeded Soult
as War Minister to the Army, calling upon it to do
its duty towards its legitimate Sovereign, and to fulfil
the duties of honour which Franee expects from it.
STRASBURGHI MARCH 10.—The . Duke of Albu-
fern (Suchet) arrived here this morning from Paris.
All persons here, are united iti the most energetic at
tacliment to the King.
SznaN, Matta' 10.—The Duke of I3elluno (Vic-
tor) has published a proclamation : it is one of the
visual sort, calling Bonaparte a perfidious traitor,
and calling on the army to support their King, and
