Sttt,—The Times Paper, of the .4th inst. lu its oat-
rageous, and, as it should seem, unoificiiii zeal to
defend the cause of the BOURBONS, magnifies cir-
curostltnces, perverts reason, and abuses authority.
Though, from every account, we hare reason to be-
lieve, that the enthusiasm and energy of the inha.,
bitants in the South-west of Fraocein favour of the
lionnaoirs, are confined to the single City of Baur-
dean, yet we are told. by the Times that the
South of France is in a state of insurrection against
the authority of NaeoLeow.-- fleece he falsely ar-.
guest that if even a Treaty of Peace had been
actually entered into between the Allies and NAPo-
LEoNT,. still they would be justified in refusing to
fulfil its stipulations. Therefore, if Preliminaries
should have been signed before the news had arrived
of the occupation of Bourtleaux, &c. at the sent of
negociations, it ‘could be perfectly right to consider
theni a, wastepaper-4or he considers the authority of
the" Us itrper NAPOLEON" as now more.than disputed
—it is invalidated, by the rising of an immense popu-
lation in favour of the Bouatos dynasty, lie then
