There was some conversation last night in both
Houses of Parliament on the subject of the line of I
policy to be pursued by this country On this n6w
turn of affairs. Mr. WHITBREAD, in the House of
Commons, and Earl Gave, in the Lords, express-1
ed their confident hope that this nation would not
interfere in the internal concerns of France. Lord'
CASTLEREAGII, who has recovered from his politi I
fever, said that it never had been the policy, nor.
practices of. this .country to didat4 to Franc f ,i,
what might be the line of conduct deterininectalif
by his Royal highness, in concert with his Allies, ill
the present extraordinary posture of things in that 1
country, the House would not expect him to state. 1
We certainly cannot expect a man to state what he
does not know, and we think the silence of Minis.
ters is now pretty well accounted for. Will nobody
be kind enough to move " that it is now utipecessiry
for Lord CASTLEREAGH to enter on his "long story"
of adjustments and final arrangements," or that it be
pot off " till this time six months, or sine die -"-.

what can the Noble Lord say then ? Time will show.
It is an advantage to be able to make one's story
square with circumstances. i

THE STAi'ESMAN.

LONDON:
FRIDAY, MARV& 17, 1815.

ilre press on to thi latest 'intelligence from that
fruitful theatre of *enders, France ; but to discri-
initiate betireen facts and rumours, is as yet almost
impoosible. We have already stated from the French
papers and letters received, the particulars of the
progeSS of the revolution and the extraordinary man
mho is v its head, as far as they were known in
rarit up to Monday last. By the arrival in the
course' of yesterday afternoon, and this day,
of persons, some of them of distinction and with
Dispatches, from. the French capital, which they
left on Tnesday, we are enabled to continue the
ietsils of passing events to that date. At that time,
according to the information said to have been
brought 11 Government Messengers, it was stated
sod believed that BONApARTE was advancing
rapidly to the Metropolis, and was expected to
enter that city on the next day, Wednesday.—
Another report says be arrived at Paris on 'Tues-
day night, anti was received. with general, RcEin.
mations. The Army had universally declared for
Ent, and no resistance was shown any where to his
progress. We anticipated the Evening Papers of
yesterday, in announcing the important fact, that the
French loyal Family had actually retired intoßeigium
for safely, and we can now confirm this fact still fur-
ther. We have seen a servant of the Duke of WEL-
tINGTON) who arrived in town this morning, and he
states, that the Royal Family of France arrived at
Brussels on Tuesday night ; Lord FiTznor So-
mum accompanied them. We understand that a
vessel sailed from Deal yesterday for
to bring the Prose ftey'l Fortitirthe fhieseteantry.
—Had there been a shadow of hive that the pre-
sence of his Majesty could have Noe metal in pre-
:ming his cause, or that the Bourbon dynasty could
survive in France, we are warranted, by the previous
accmnts, in !relieving that he would not have left
his capital anti his kingdom ; but it is sufficiently
evideet that the [louse of Bourbon, though it will
not admit it, at the end of twenty years exile, has
ceased to reign, and that even this best of his line
does not possess the hearts of the people of France.
BONAPARTE had arrived on Saturday night at
Orleans, and was advancing rapidly to Paris, which,
at the rate he travel:A, he might well be expected to
roach by Tuesday night or Wednesday. General
Lcrtnec commanded his advanced guard of about
4000 cavalry, and it was understood that SOUI.T
and Nlassmi were with him.

Were it allowable to mingle small things id&
great, we would notice here, that the case of Mr.
Loved. was again agitated in the House of Con,
mous last night-7.-see the Report. •.4

We understand that the Duchess of WErAtztOTox
has been consulted by the Cabinet Ministers, relative
to the state of Paris when her Grace left it. An in•
sterview between her Grace and the Ministers took
place last night on this subject.

A Paper of this morning says, " An express
reached town between two and three o'clock this
claming, brought by a bye.boat from Arabletensei
on the French coast -ergasite to Dover, cummuaica4,
ing the entrance of 139744ek11TZ into Paris oti the
evening of Tuesday last, between five and six
o'clock. No battle had taken place, nor was any
opposition of moment made to him during the whole
of his march from Lyons. An attempt had been
made the preceding day to draw out of Paris the
whole Of the National Guards and the regular
troops, but the latter had refused to take the field
against their old comrades. BoNAPARTE's army
amounted to upwards of 60,000 men. lie had found
an abundant supply of arms and ammunition at
Grenoble and Lyons. lie stopped for several hours
on Sunday at Montargis, between 60 and 70 miles
from Paris, where he reviewed his troops. The
KING is said to have left Paris on Tuesday morning,
taking the route to Belgium, accompanied by Mon-
sieur's regiment of cavalry, the gardes du corps,
and the mousquetaires, with a strong body of Swiss
infantry."

He entered Lyons on the 11th, where he was re.
aired with open arms. Alosst UM, the Dec D'Ott-
tEANS, and GOI:VION Sr. CYR, made their escape
isith diineolty, and the army they brought to'oppose
h;m joined his standard. llc sent a detachment to
nttack Grenoble, where Getwtal MAncuaND was
n!)pointed to guard an immense• depot of arms and
military stores. Mincit.irtu appears to have been
to his trust, and the consequence was he
f-ll a sacrifice to his own troops. Grenoble opened
i gates, and 150 pieces of cannon, with from 80 to
100,000 stands of arms, fell into BONAPARTE'S
p ,wer.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM RYE, DATED YESTERDAY,

MARCH 16.

" A smuggling boat arrived in our neighbourhood
last night, from Boulogne, which port she quitted
yesterday. The town was, completely filled with
English from Paris, and other parts, most anxiously
wailing a pas Age to this country.
" The military stationed at Boulogne, are deci-
dedly in favour of their former Emperor, and the
merchants were apprehensive of an embargo being
laid."

This great magazine seems to have been' placed
there purposely to assist his inroad. Scum., the
Minister at War, had concerted the measure with hi
partizans, and thus every thing was prepared for his
reception. It is another of the extraordinary cir-
cumstances attending the removal of SOULT, that
General CLARKE (Duke of Feltre),who was formerly
War Minister to BONAPARTE, should be selected to
fill his place.
UONAPARTE'S Proclamation must positively be in
the hands of our Government, for it was certainly
received by the French Ministry, and Lord FITZ.
L Y SOMERSET must have seen it—most likely had a
copy of it. It is understood that it is couched a
good deal in the old Revolutionary style, promising
Liberty and Equality to all Frenchmen.

Ile promises also to have the Rhine as the natural
boundary of France, and to give freedom to Bel-
giqm. It is universally believed to be as Republican
a procbmation as ever appeared in the days of Ro-
DRSPIL:RRI:.

As to the renewal of war between this country
and France, every thing we think must turn upon
th Treaties we have concluded with our Allies, and
what BONAPARTE may consider the natural limits of
r:.nce. After he has ascended the throne, if the
' irroudiog Powers will let bim alone so long, and
