THE. STATESMAN.

LONDON:

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1815.

The Paris Papers of the 13th, Sunday last, arrived
this forenoon. The French people are again de-
riving hope of better days from a Declaration of the
Allied Sovereigns, which is expected to appear iu al
few days, and is reported to be of a nature to give
satisfactiou to all parties. It will be a more won- I
derful Declaration than any that has yet issued front
the Congress, If it has realty this effect. The defini-
tive Fetes,* hich cast such a brilliancy over the Defini.
tive Treaties, are about to be renewed. King Lousy,
in the midst of all his perplexities, and the crapes and
the sorrowing countenances that surround him ;
whilst his capital is in the possession of foreign ar-
mies, and France is in distraction, is to give a grand
Fete to his Allies and the conquerors of his country,
which it is fund!y hoped will be that of a definitive
arrangement, and will be followed by the evacuation
df France by the Allied troops, except those which
are to remain to preserve internal tranqoillity. This
is a material exception, and though, perhaps, very
well meant, is rather liable to give rise to Some un-
pleasing conjectures in French minds. But this we
suppose the Allies do not care for. The French do
not tell us what it is that has satisfied the Allies so ,
soon. Is it simply placing Lours where Bostaeanirt
was? The adherents of the latter are not all ester
minated. Ilas it been found impossible to effect this
with all Lord CAITLIALAGD'S one million eleven
thousand men ? We suppose it has—even with all
the additional Badeuers, Blunswickers, Prussiars,
Austrians, " furious Franks and fiery Huns," Ilulans,
and Goths and Visigoths, who have rushed in to swell
the devouring mass stria bad before laid waste the
fertile plains of France. They surely have not all
taken fright at Lours's new-raised legions ; and
from conquerors and dictators are willing to become I
mere auxiliaries to Foecut's police, or the armies
they had conquered.. Prince Ihectrea has said, that
GOD has given him the will and power to tread on
the neck of France, and humiliated she should be;
at least, somebody has reported such a speech of the
gallant Marshal. Mast he too leave France with-
out accomplishing the design which he knows
would' be so agreeable to the heart of his Sove-
reign?—But it would really appear the Mar-
shall must ; and what is still more provoking to
the whole tribe of criers out for humiliation and
vengeance, the veil is drawn aside and the rebel
armies, the men. of Jena and Austerlitz, are dis-
closed, collected, and ranged in full force on the
King's establishment, with all their wishes granted,
except their desire to repel the invaders, and no-
change made in the French armies but a tenfold in•
crease of their numbers. The army of the Loire,
which we were told had been dissolved, is declared
to be .15,000 strung, and the first title of the new
organization states, that the soldiers of the present
army. are to be admitted into the new one. ID fact, I
this has already been done, and the very Royal
Guard is to be composed of the old troops. 1
—But though the Allies cannot fashion Louis's
army to their mind, or assimilate his Government
in every respect to their own, they may provide',,
against any reaction detrimental to themselves, by
keeping possession of the strong holds which they '
have obtained. This they will no doubt do; but this
will neither end the war nor "satisfy all parties." We
observe it is announced that Mezieres, which has been
so vigorously pressed, has capitulated ; but the con-
ditions on which this is done are sufficiently remark-
able. The military occupying the place are to retire
with their artillery to join the army of the Loire, a
measure perfectly in unison with the plan which ap-
pears to regulate all the movements of tbs French
troops.

It does not appear that Europe is yet to_ be al-
lowed to return to a seitleTiaite.- dtahi tied
discoveries avow making. It iefouud out by the
Allied Powers and their Ministers, who hive taken
upon themselves to clean and- repair the machinery
of Europe's harmony, that the removal of NAPO-
LEON BONAPANTE, Whit+ cost them so much pains
has rather increased the discord, that he has carriud
with him the key which alone could regulate the
varying spirit of the strangely constituted cen-
tre nation, and that there. is no making the French
dance in any thing lite order to the tune of
Louts's grating Ltd fiddle. There is, of course,
no little surprise in the countenances, and wrath
in the hearts of the Powers composing the ,
" dancing Congress" at this discovery, which some
people contend ought to have been no secret to il
them before; but ts ho could sunp•me that, after such
a national disaster as the French sustained hi the
battle of Waterloo, any native of that country would
not be glad to be allowed to live on the condition ofl
dancing all the Feat of his life to any given tine, or'
that the people of France should continue to talk
and to act as if they were not a conquered rtstion.='

that its overthrow should he fotlkiived by its dismern-

different. We admit you that it is a humane policy
