PRI-VCESS TAL LE YRAND.

Lrwes, MARCH 20.—The Duke of Wellington
packet p.rrived at Newhaven on last Thursday after-
noon, with seventy-two passengers on board, among
whom were the Princess of BExEvEsto, the wife
of that distinguished patriot, TALLEYRAND ; and
Aindame MOREAU. The latter, the same evening,
proceeded on to Brighton ; but the Princess, be-
ing very much indisposed from the effects of her
passage, during which (thirty-six hours) she could
take no refreshment, slept that night at New-
haven, and the next morning came post to this town
and drove to the White Hart Inn, where she so-
journed until four o'cli'ck, on Saturday afternoon,
when Madame with her little retinue (consisting of
_ .

Mademoiselle PLAUTA r, her companion, two female
servants, and a Frenchman, who had toe appearance
, of a messenger, with H. HAUISCJ v, Esq. Collector of
this Customs at Newhaven), took her departure, in
two host-chaises and four, to reach Ryegate that
evening, on her journey to Richmond, where she ar-
rived in good time yesterday. TALLEYR AND himself
could not have been more reserved than his lady was;
she spoke little, and never quitted the inn untill the
chaise was at the door, ready to take her up. She,
however, appeared in good spirits, and seemed to en-
joy her meals. Mr. Holm's son was the only waiter
admitted to her room. She had with here great deal of
luggage, and immense property in jewels, bills, and
cash; the latter it was understood at the house, in
part, consisted of 1000 English guineas !

THE STATESMAN.

LONDON:
TUESDAY, WARM 21, 1815.

We have this morning received French Papers of
the 18th : they are almost perfectly silent as to the
movements of NAPOLEON ! The Moniteur contains
a long article in support of the authenticity of all
its communications, which are stated to be always
made officially.
A Supplement also is given, filled with new ap-
pointments to the Legion of Honour.
The report of an attack having been made on
BONA? kftTE'S advanced-guard (it should be rear-
guard, if NEY was following him), is given in the
Gazette de Prance, but it appears to be a mere verbal
rumour. Nothing is said of it in the Moniteur.
The following is the article :

Isitse O'CLOCK AT NIGUT.—Some uneasiness which
prevailed this morning, has been allayed by the
posting of the following notice in the interior of the.
castle, upon the verbal report of the Minister at
War :—" Gen. Maacuarrn has entered Grenoble,
where he found the greater
,part of Ms artillery.
BONAPARTE'S advanced guard has been attacked, re-
pulsed, and routed near Chalons : 800•meo and two
Officers have been taken. The troops march with
ardour. Good order was restored."

MACDONALD is appointed second in command, un-
der the Duke DE BERRI, of the Paris Army.

• Marshal MARMONT still remains about the !Owes
person, and is the Commandant of the Household
Troops.

Thus the public mind, at a moment the most
alarming, is left entirely to the mercy of rumours,
which really have no mercy upon us. Yesterday, as
we noticed, a gross exaggeration of a report from
Paris was put in circulation, stating, that RON A-.
PA RTE had been come up with and defeated by NEV,
and a loud 16 &ran was again sung o►er the " fallen
LUCIFER ;"—to-day the prospect is darker than ever.
It is fair to presume that the French Government
had nothing of a favourable description to commu-
nicate, or the tidings would have instantly found
their way into the official Papers. We have also
reason to believe, that were our own Government
in possession of intelligence which could tranquilize
the public mind, and relieve the deep anxiety now
felt in regard to events in France, it would not be
withheld. Ministers, however, we are assured, have
received advice, from Paris of the date of Saturday
last. The strict silence preserved in regard to their
contents, and the active and extensive preparations
which are making to reinforce our army in Brabant,
afford presumptive proof that they have not the means
of dissipating alerm,and that they share in the general
apprehensions. From these preparations and the
circumstance, rather remarkable, certainly, which is
announced to us to-slay in the Dutch Papers which
have arrived, that the British troops in Belgium are
approaching the French frontiers, we were inclined
to give the Government some credit for !withy
abroad as well as at home; but a Government Paper
of this morning has stunned us as much as it has doubt-
less surprised its Readers in general, by telling us
that the efforts of Government have been pdralped
by—what? What could paralyze the efforts of such
a vigorous Ministry—in such an awful crisis too ?
Why, nothing less, says this discloser of official
and Royal secrets, than a letter from NAPOLEON
himself to an Illustrious Personage.—" Were we at
liberty," says this Paper, " we could give the sub-
stance of a letter, found in the cabinet, of an illus-
trious Personage, in the hand-writing 01 RON4O,
PARTE, and written since the period if imam
in France. Nothing has tended won to paralyse
the efforts of the Government than this commani.
cation."

And nothing we suppose will exceed the curiosity!
that must be entertained, to learn something more
of this paralyzing Letter—this wonderful disco.
