the Imperial Guard, and several regiments of troops
I• of the line, cavalry, infantry, and artillery, to the
number of nearly 25,000 men. During the review,

I with such activity, that it is presumed, that at the
end of this month they will amount to 10,000 men,
all having served.
Five of six thousand troops from Britantry and

The Department of the Aube, which suffered the
most from the advance of the enemy last year, has
been one of the first to pay its debt to its country.
Three battalions of grenadiers and ehasseurs of the
.National Guard, animated with the best spirit, are
ilreedy equipped, and will be ready to depart in
twwor three days.
A letter from Lyons of the Ist of May, informs
us that the department of the Ain has furnished 5000
volunteers; the Rhone, 6000; and Dauphine,
15,000,
The National Guards of the Somme marched on
the 3d of May..
For several .days there has been a rumour current
that hostilities had commenced at various points. It
appears certaiu that there is nothing to justify this:
rumour.

Prince Lucien, who, by se►eral Journals, has
been stated to be travelling to the North and to the
South, is still in the Pays de Gea, at the village of
Bellevue.

We are assured that 15,000 of the National
Guards of the department of the Aisne are to felrm
the garrison of Lille.
• The city of Brest has acceded to the Breton Fede-
ration. A deputation from that city has arrived at
Nantes.

English merchant ships continue to arrive in the
ports of Calais, Dieppe, Havre, &c.

Blacas and the Ex-Chancellor Dambray have loot
his confidence.

AVe are assured that Prince Schwartzenberg will
quit Vienna in afew dap, and repair to Frankfort.
Va.ious branches of hi) Statr hare taken their route

Much is said at Vienna of the discovery of a con•
spirscy; but nothing is slated regarding the precise
object of the conspirators. A club which bad'been
formed at Vienna is vaguely spoken of. Amongst
the persons arrested is a Commissary of War, who,
it is added, enjoyed great influence.

BAst.E, APRIL 30.—A Cabinet Courier from
enna, said to be charged ssith dispatches from the
Emperor of Austria to the Emperor Napoleon, has,l
passed through our city on his way to Paris. It is
the first Courier dispatched from Vienna since Napo-
leon re-ascended the Throne of France. This cir
cumstance has ptnduced a most agreeable sensation.
Every one believes it is the earnest of a good under.
standing between the Emperors.
The reply of the Swiss Diet to the communications I
which were made on the part of the Daki of Vi-
cenza, has been transmitted to Col." Lichtenhahii,
Commander of Basle, who immediately sent it by his I
first Ahl.de.Camp to M. Felix Desportes, who was I
at Iruningtien. •M. Desportes received the Swiss
Officer with greet condescension ; and it is believed
that the good harmony which ought to subsist be-
tween Switzerland and France will be maintained.

The Austrian General Baron Steigenteich has ar-
rived at Zurich. It is believed he is charged with a
mission from his Court to the Swiss Cantons.

The workmen on the heights of Montmartre will
shortly amount to upwards of 10,000. From the
Seine to the Mayne is fortifying, and it is under-
stood that, in the event of necessity, all the left of
the line can be inundated.
The Journalists of Lisle anti Brussels would change
their tone and despair of their Royal cause, If they
had witnessed, as we did, the transports of joy with
which his Nla•jesty is received wherever he ,appears,
and she, whatever the foreigners may say, is acces.
sible to every body.
On the Gth, an immense number of Officers received
Commissions and orders to repair, without delay, to
Avesnes, to which place the Count D'Erlon bas re-
moved his head-enarters from Lisle.
It is said that the Count de Lille knew nothing.of
what his Ministers did. At all events he knew well
what was the conduct of M. Ferrand—this person
had the impudence to ascend the Tribune of the
Chamber of Deputies, and to there declare that ti 4
Emigrants alone has acted well. M. Bedock repelled
this with indignation. But M. Ferrand
_was intmedk,
ately made a Secretary of State. A demi-official '1
Journal made a most virulent attack on M. Bedock,
and M. Ferrand was immediately made a Count of ,
the Empire. •
O:► the 6th of last month, a husbandman of the ;
name of Jean Baptiste, in the commune of St. Enne-
mond, near Moulins, disappeared from his
ling, and all search for his discovery proved ineffec-
tual. On the 9.3 d, the dog of an inhabitant in the
same place, brought home in his month the band of rt:
man. The people followed the dog ; it took its
road through a bushy wood, stopping at a hole, and;
cowling, in which was discovered the body of the
unhappy man, who had been assassinated. Some
circumstances having led to suspect the wife of this
unfortunate man, she has Wu arrested.

LIEGF, APRIL 28.—The good disposition of the
Saxon troops towards France, manifests itself more
and more every day. The three Sixon regiments in
garrison here, and particularly the Royal Grena-
"diets, openly express their attachment to the Em-
peror.

General Blucher is here—in England all the world
run after him—here he is utterly unnoticed.

The Prussians and the Saxons bear the utmost en-
mity towards each other. If the Emperor obtains
the slightest success, he will find most important
friends among all the Allies, and particularly among
the Salons and Hanoverian,.

BOURDEAUX, APRIL 28.—M1 is tranquil here.—
Two loaded vessels have arrived, which bad been
taken by the English and released. •

Brussels Papers to the Bth, and the Ghent Paper,
the Journal Univcr,ol, to tha Sth, arrived also at a
late hour this forenoon. The accounts from Ghent
completely contradict the statement in the Paris
Papers of LoLis XVIII. having mowed Ids Court' to
Brussels. He continued there on the 4th, issuing
Peoclamations denouncing the French soldiery as
" mutinous traitors," and telling them that fo-
reign armies were on their march to chastise them
and all the adherents of NArouroN. The -Doke of
WELLINGTON left Brussels on the 6th, taking the
road to Ghent. Apprehensions seem to be en-
tertained .for the safety of that place and the
precious deposits there. It is stated in the pub-
lic announcements from that quarter, that tee
OccOnnts from the frontiers speak of a movement of
troops in the direction of Cambray, and that " 80.
NAPARTE'S equipage has been seen at Sculls." •
By the same channel we have the information
that "the Gazette of Florence announces, that:on the.:
7th of this month (April) Lord 131:NTINCIi sent or-
ders to the different English Commanders in the
Mediterranean to begin hostilities against King'
JOACHIM, by sea and land."
The Sovereigns who have been " keepieg it up"'
so brilliantly and so long at Vienna, are to give as
memorable a finish to their feasting and dancing as
they have done to their political arrangements.—
Before they proceed to the less pleasing occupations
of the field of war, they are to give a " brilliant'
fete," by way of finale, in the open air 'at Vienna,.
