Here follow reports of the state of the different
European nations, and of the universal preparation
for war which pervades them all. After which is in-
serted a letter to the French Ambassadors at Foreign
Courts, stating to them that their functions had
ceased on the part of the Bourbons, and desiring them
to express the Emperor's assurances of his intention to
maintain the peace of Europe. Then follows the

The High Allies have demanded from the French
the delivering up of Bonaparte, and also a sure gua.
rantee for the future maintenance of peace and order.
In case of refusal, they will march their whole force
into France. Spain and Portugal have engaged to
send 80,000 men into the field.

LETTER 0? TIP EM?EROR TO TILE ALLIED

[PROM ANOTHER WITTER, APRIL 3.]
Last night Mr. Lombard, Secretary to the Austrian
Legation at Paris, arrived here. He has brought
proposals from Bonaparte, who, whenever be finds
Diplomatic Agents, makes seemingly amicable pro-
posals, which, however, will be no where attended to.
By the Treaty just concluded between Austria and
Bavaria, Saltzburg remains to Bavaria. Austria
pays to Bavaria three kreutzers daily per man, as
long as its troops are in the Bavarian territory.

REIGNS.

44 SIR, My PROTHER,—You have heard of my
return to France, my entering Paris, and the depar-
ture of the Bourbons. These events are the result
of the unanimous wish of the French nation. That
dynasty, which force had imposed upon it, which
knew not how to associate itself with its sentiments
or its manners. The national voice called for a li-
berator—l came, and from the spot where I landed,
the affection of my people has carried me to the be..
som of my capital. The first care of my heart is to
repay so much affection by the maintenance of ho-
nourable tranquillity. The re-establishment of the
Imperial Throne was necessary for the good and hap-
pines of France. My first wish is to become useful
in establishing the repose of Europe. The colours of
the different nations have, each in their turn, been
sufficiently crowned with glory. • A more beautiful
plain is now opened to the Sovereigns, and I am the
first to enter it. After having shown the world the
spectacle of so many great combats, it will be more
delightful to know no other rivalry than that of
peace—no other contest than that for the happiness
of the people. France is delighted to express these
sentiments; and if they are, as I trust, those of
your Majesty, the general peace is assured, and
justice alone will be sufficient to secure all frontiers.

It is said that representations have been made to
the King of Sweden to induce him to give up Swedish
Pomerania, as Denmark has exchanged that with
another Power for Lauenburg. Sweden objects,
however, as it is said that Norway was not ceded,
but conquered, and that the Treaty of Kiel cannot
avail. Several great Powers have, however, declared
for the Treaty of Kiel.
The publication of the abdication of Maria Louisa
is expected from day to day, but has not yet taken
place.

It was on the 25th of March, that the new Defini-
tive Treaty. of Alliance between Austria, Russiai
Prussia, and Great Britain, was signed, in order to
put an end as soon as possible to the power of the
Usurper in France. The Treaty of Chaumont is
taken as the basis.

The number of troops which each of the four
united Powers engages to bring into the field is fixed
at 150,000 men. The Portuguese Minister has ac-
ceded to this Treaty without reserve; the Spanish
Minister reserving the approbation of his King. The
Swedish Minister has sent to his Court for instruc-
tions. Denmark has likewise acceded to this al.
liance on condition of the execution of the Treaty of
Kiel.

Various pieces follow the above, relative to the
interruption given to the couriers. The Prince
Regent's Message to the British Parliament, is also
inserted, and various other articles of minor import-
sacs, connected with the Report.

French Papers of the 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th
inst. arrived this forenoon. The lateness of the
hour at which they were received, and the great mass
of important information which they bring, will pre-
vent our giving more at present than the substance of
the articles. All is on the alert throughout the
French empire. The Allies may say that it is against
NAPOLEON alonethat they are to make war, but they
will not be believed. Already has the national
jealousy been awakened, and the flame of national
and universal indignation is ready to burst forth in
defence of French independence. "Itis no longer

be separated from that of the French nation.

The Declaration of the Allies follows these re.

TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH.

TUE LIEUTENANT-GENERAL GROUCHY, TO TUE MP.

MISTER A! WAR.
nontelimart. April 9. at nine o'clock
in the morning.
The rash enterprise of the Duke d'Angouleme is'
at an end. The tri-coloured flag wares through-',
out the South.

The Doke d'Angoulame, pressed by my troops,
whose advanced guard is at Douzere, General GM),
being upon his rear, who had debourhetl by Pont St.
Esprit, and upon his left flanlethe National Guards
of Daophiny, has capitulated.
Abandoned by all the troops of the line, he had
remaining with him only 1500 men and six pieces
of cannon. He was conducted under good escort to
Cette, where he will be shipped off.

The statements in the Dutch and Hamburgh Pa-
pers, that MURAT has joined the Allies, are opposed
by very different accounts in the French Journals
just received. It will be observed, that it is stated,
on the authority of letters, whose authenticity is
strongly vouched for in one instance, and doubted in
another, that hostilities have already commenced be-
tween the army of the King of NAPLES and the Aus-
trians, and that several desperate engagements have
taken place, in one of which the Austrians had live
thousand prisoners taken. Italy is certainly in a
very disturbed state. The accounts from that quar-
ter %ill he found of great interest.
The Duke of ANGOULEME has capitulated.
The French Government does not scruple to ac-
knowledge that their proposals to Foreign rowers
have been rejected, or not permitted to reach their
destination. A Report from the Minister for Fo-
reign Affairs says:—

A very long decree is inserted in this paper for
the re-organization of the National Guard.

Addresses abound from all parts of France of
attachment to the Emperor.
The French Funds are fluctuating considerably,
they left off on the 13th at 63 f. 50 c. and 870 f.

PARIS, APRIL 13.—A letter from Calais states,
that the courier Saint Romain, who had been sent to
&gland by the French Government, landed again on
the 11th at noon, on his return from London, with
dispatches from Lord Castlereagh. He immediately
continued his journey to Paris. He brings an account
of Considerable embarkations of cavalry at Dover. The
people wish for peace, and hope it will be preserved.
Prince Lucien Bonaparte has Hot set out again as
some papers have announced.

" It has been reserved for the present epoch to see
a society of Kings interdict, simultaneoosly, all coin-
munication with the Great State. The Couriers tent
from Paris, on the 30th of March, to the different
States, have not been allowed to reach their desti-
nations. One was refused by the Austrians to pass
beyond Strasburgh ; another going to Italy could
not proceed beyond Turin; a third, destined for
Berlin, was seized at Mayence, an ill-treated by
the- Prussian Commandant ; he was robbe4 of his
dispatches by the Austrian General who commanded
there. We are ignorant of the result of the Courier
to England. While an impenetrable barrier is thrown

Letters from Vienna state, that the Empress and
her august son are in good health. The Empress
often goes to Vienna an horseback to see her son,
who frequently returns her visits at Schcenbrunn.—
Thersame accounts state, that the child is wonder
fully intelligent, and speaks French, German, and
ttallan.

Vines, and who was in 1814 condemned to death
for hawing defended his department, has just been ep..
pointed Prefect of Tarn and Garonne.

A great number of soldiers übo had retired from
the Imperial Quord ask for re-admission.

The Members of the Court of Cessation have

Frenchmen cannot read too much the following
article, inserted in the Mercury of the Rhine.--
They will see the frank. avowal of a Journalist, who
supposes that Prussia, Austria, and jiolland are not
sufficiently aggrandised, and that it is in the Power
of France alone to do It :—" It is no longer Napo.

they wish to destroy. This nation is, however, too
much upon the alert for such an attempt. Lorraine
and Alsace might suit the Allies, and furnish charm.
ing indemnities for Princes who are not satisfied with
those allotted to them in Germany."
