Tire following is the letter of a young Gentleman,
sited 14 years, to his mother :
" lavosts, M ARCH 14.—1 confirm to you at pre-

you that we were in the gieatest tranquillity, and I
ascot'. you that this tranquillity has not been dis.
turin-d. He entered Lyons on Friday night, all the
regiments in garrison having joined him. The next
day he reviewed his army, and I had the plresure of
seeing that phenomenon, for he is no. ►ing else. I

Paris. He has advanced 240 miles into this country,
has taken the second city in France, without having
tired a single gun, cannon, or pistol.—My next letter
will give you the details at full length. I hope my
next letter will be longer aid more interesting than
this. Lyons is now as trantiolt skit nothing had hap-

4.1! The Proprietor of this JOURNAL having uniformly op-
posed the CORN BILL since its first iotroductioo into Parlia-
ment, under a conviction of its being a most impolitic and dan
serous measure. trusts he may with confidence claim the
.rapport of all those who entertain the same sentiments.—He
hopes therefore, that his pretensions to support will not be
overlooked, and that he may at least share with other Jour-
" "1 nabs (most of which were in favour of the Bill at the commence-
ment) in receiving the Advertisements, which the present mo-
uncut out question may produce.
Mr. Lorna. trusts tl.at his political conduct, during his captivi-
ty, hal likewise given general satisfaction, considering the
numerous difficulties which have necessarily attended his pro-
tracted separation from his establishment.

BONAPARTF,'S ARRIVAL AT JOIGNY,
WITHIN SEVENTY MILES OF PARIS.

BONAPARTE pursues his march, his triumphal,
uninterrupted, march to Paris, where-he in all pro-
bability is at this moment. We express no wonder
at this, and feel uo indignation at the silly stories
put forth by the French Government to deceive the
public, for we happen to be pretty well acquainted
with the situation of the public mind in France; and
we see similar attempts to mistify truth, and
stultify the understandings of men, practised every
day. But truth will out at length. Then woe to
that infatuated policy, the most fatal of all weaknes-
ses, which relies alone upon endeavours to disguise
the actual state 'of things when such dangers are
t;►reatening, and digs its own grave; and the grave of
public peace and security, in *the self-created shades
of vanity and error. _ _

We have to.day received the Paris Papers of Sun-
day last, which admit, we can scarcely call it as.
Jounce, the important fact of BONAPARTeS unchecked
advance to within seventy mile 3 of Paris. Not a
shot has yet been fired at him. His path seems
strewed with palms. He precedes his advanced-
fitiard irks magnificent calash, with about only forty
drag sod no one raises an arm to oppose him.

Edition, published on Sunday morning, states, that
he reached Auxerre on the 17th, having travelled,
if the date is correct, arty miles in one day! and
that he would occupy Joigny, a town still nearer
Paris on Sunday evening. Ile would then, we be-
lieve, bn not more than seventy miles distant from
the Capital. Notwithstanding the addresses from
the regiments of the line, with which the pages of
the Monitcar have lately- been crowded, and the
repeated assurences that numerous corps of regulars
were marching to stop and surround the enemy, it
doei not appear that any force is really collected on
any point save Melun, twelve leagues from Paris,
where the only stand is to be attempted ; but even
then, that force seems to be entirely composed of
the KING'S household, volunteers, and national
~arils, men upon whom the KING may rely, but no

might be construed into levity or irrevevence ; but
