A Dispatch, of which the following is an extract,
has this dad• been received from Viscount Castlereagh,
dated Paris, July 17, 1815:—
Since closing my Dispatches of this date I have re-
ceived the accompanying communication from this
Government.

(TRANSLATION.)
I have the honour to acquaint your Lordship that
Napoleon Bonaparte not living able to escape from
the English cruizers or from the gulrds kept upon
the coasts, baa taken the resoktion of going ion
board the English ship Bellerophon, Captain Mait-
land.

They will make known to their legions the revile-
tions of the Alilitary Convention, and the laws which

ASSIZF. COURT OF PARIS.
A singular, and we even call it a scandalous, trial
yesterday occupied the early part of the Court's pro.
ceedings. Will it be credited that the effect should
have survived the cause, and that in the Royal Court
itself, the King's Advocate should have deemed him-
self bound to develop a prosecution instituted by the
Imperial Attorney, the man of Bonaparte, against
a female, charged with having distributed, on the 9th
of May last, writings which excited to the dissolution
of Bossaparte's Government ?
The person accused was Frances Delaunay, at-
tached to the laundry of the King's Household, and
the offence was stated to have been committed at a
gamine-house, in the rue de Thionville. Madame
Delauaay, who was right in loving the King, but
wrong lit loving play, joining in a conversation
which turned on the news of the day, and the ea•
rious prociantsiinos then circulated in Paris, openly
said, " Would you wish to see something new ?"---1
At the same time .he drew from her pocket several
folded papers, and threw them on the tallia.to the
umpire at plus, who put them in his pocket, wait.

We should think, that if any place in Scotland were
fixed upon for the residence of such a prisoner it
wiSuld be Fort George, in the North, whither the
O'CONNOR! were sent. The West coast affords too
many opportunities, in case of escape, of embarking
for America, to render any point there the safest
place of confinement. But the ultimate fate of this
great Personage, and the effect which his surrender
will produce in France, are the points most calculat-
ed to engage attention. Ile is the prisoner of wer of
the Prince Regent of ENGLAND, therefore his life is
safe while in British custody, but the Congres,
or the King of FRA NEE, may demand him to be given

REAGU that he would he demanded back its the name !
of Louis XVIII., for punishment as a rebel and a
traitor. How Lours will prove to the satisf.ction of
his subjects that the Emperor of ELBA, who had no
treaty with him, who never ackhoe hedged any branch
of the House of Bounaos as his Sovereign, who
violated no oath to him, and whom the BOURBONS
end their friends would never allow to be a Frenchman,
whoconquered Vrasice without spilling a drop of blood,
—how Lours, we say, whose life was spared by this
very men, is to make out NAPOLEON BONAPARTE,
the Ex-Emperor of Elba and of France, a traitor and a
rebel to him, and prove to his subjects that he merits
death for that offence, remains for time and the Mi.
nistry, by whose advice Louis shall then act, to
disclose.
The trial seems to be over in tho mind of NAPO-
LEON, and the policy which he has adopted shows
that he cats expose himself, at least to the chance of
sacrifice, to save France from the ravages of those
armies, who, according to the declarations of their
respective Sovereigns, marched and directed all their
hostility against bin% alone. We admit that per-
sonal fear, and the hope of prolonging life, so dear
to the bravest, may have been a principal motive
for NAPOLEON'S having thus made a virtue of neces-
sity ; but there is also an appearance of magnanimity
and the humanest of policies shining through the act,
to which the historian, who shall have better means
of judging with correctness of motives ■nd actions
than we, can alone do justice. Is this the desperate
and heroic act of NAPOLEON himself, conscious that
though no measures were taken against him by the
present Government, he could not tong exist in
France in a state of security—or is it a mere expe-
dient, with the concurrence of his party, who still
govern France, connived at by Lotus, and. perhaps
devised by TA LEEYRAND and Fouctit, to obtain
ground for insisting on the withdrawing of the Allied
armies, and preventing he dismemberment of the coun-
try ? The declarations of the Congress Powers which
denounced NAPOLEON personally were evidently the
production of TALLEVRAND. If the war against
BONAPARTE was a mere pretence to rob France of a
part of her territory, the issuing of these Declarations,
though they have had, with tile aid of British valour,
II the effect of hurling NAPOLEON from his throne, must
he most unfortunate for the efforts of the Allies to give
the appearance ofj nstice to angst tempts that shall carry
the war further, or seize territory as security against
the return of BONAPARTE, now that he is in their
own possession. If they wanted a good plea for
seizure or partition, they should have allowed NA.
roccore to escape to where he could do them no harm.
Though he himself could not continue the work of sub.
jugsaion (and it ►yoked have been their poli.•y to
insure this), his name, as long as he lived, might h"ve
given a colour to proceedings which his capture will
take away. But pretences will never be wanting for
attempts to gratify ambition. The Jacobins are still
in power, and the rebel army is taken into favour.
Have the Allies said they meant to regulate the Go.
vernment of France, and that Loess must be their
Viceroy ?—llow is this eventful drama at last to be
wound up? The downful of the principal person.
age-e4be gratification of the chief wish and object,
belissereases the interest and the dilemma.

We have no arrival of Paris Papers to-day ; but
we have some communications from the French ca-
pital, which represent that city in a most dreadful
state. The contributions have superinduced a univer-
sal gloom over all France. Sicilian vespers (a phrase
memorable for the horrible recollections which it
brings) are every where apprehended. Even the
return of the foreign armies, who are now in
France, to tt.vir own countries, is dreaded
with as trembling an alarm as their stay. They
will carry back to Russia, to PI uvula, to Aus-
tria, to Saxony, to Poland, to Italy, the prin-
ciples of liberty, and the strongest detestation of ar-
bitrary sway, and the unlawfulness of partition and
aggression, that France can infuse. We wish that
if there is any evil to be apprehended from this, good
may come of it to mankind generally.
One of our Correspondents says —" Paris is di-
vided into twelve arrondissements; tweke apostles of
liberty preach the rights of man to the soldiers every
night. Each apostle has two disciples or more to
assist. The Russians, who are attached to the soil,

the West Indies, from proprietor to proprietor,
are told that all men, whatever be their colour,
