House duly is charged, at the manufacturers' price,
to 'which we add 13 per cent. for all charges
to Canada; and we believe we scarcely set down
enough •, so that the total, value of the imports will
be found to exceed 2,750,0001. currency. In MOO
they were not a quarter of this amount ! The • ex-
Finds cannot be counted beyond 430,0001. currency.
Although the value in 1809.10 was of three times the
extent ; yet this is no indication of a declining pro-
sperity. For two years the crops have been good in
both provinces, and the prices of all necessaries fetch
double any former average, one article with another.
To this may be accounted the great augmentation of
internal consumption, owing to the increase of the
army and navy) and the various departments attached
to them."

THE STATESMAN.

LONDON:
SATURI)AY, *ARM 25, 1815.

No Mails from France have arrived since BONA..
PAItTE entered Paris. The interruption, however,
between the capital and the coast seems to be con-
fined only to the Public Papers, which are doubtless
undergoing a remodelling, a la Courier, previous to
entering on the detail of the late wonderful exploits
of the " Great NAPOLEON." Travelling has been
but little interrupted, and not at all by Edict ; the
great mass of our countrymen who had crosed the
Cl.annel are returned in safety, " more afraid than
hurt ;" and though an embargo is said to have been
laid on Thursday last in all the French ports in the
Channel, there are still numerous arrivals from the
opposite coast.

The most important advices received since the news
of BONAPARTE% entry to Paris, relate to the move-
ments of the expatriated King. His conduct at pre-
sent is the best guide to the discovery of his hopes,
his disposition, and the policy of the Allied Powers.
Hopes the deposed Monarch still seems to entertain ;
but to us never did a cause appear more hopeless than
his. his Majesty, instead of pursuing his way direct to
England, has retired to Lisle; in the Low Countries,
with the view of taking his stand in the North of
France, and he is to be supported by the Allies. We
intimated our suspicions of such an intention yester-
day, and we announced,in a Second Edition, the fact
of the arrival of MILLS, the Messenger, from Vienna,
with the important intelligence that when informed
of the progress that BoNAPARTE Inti model° Frau*,
the Allied Powers pledged themselves unanimously
4t not to sheath their swords until BONAPARTE shall
be driven out of France, and the House of Hammon
restored." There's a Vienna vow for you, Reader !
Europe, we are told, will not view with indifference
the bloodless revolution whieh has replaced the NA-
POLEON Dynasty on the throne of France. It must
be bloody, sufficiently bloody, before they will con.
sent to it, or " the peace of Europe will be die.
turbed." They will not wait to see what may be the
'conduct of Bo NA P %ItTE before they again raise the
Icry of war—A legitimate has bees thrust from the
throne upon which they set him, and France must be
invaded at all points—the work of human slaughter
which Frenchmen refused to begin within their own
tertitory must be commenced directly by foreign
hands, and we are told the 66 good," the " mild,'
and " most amiable" Lours XVIII. is to lead
the band who are to desolate that " fine

Fiance" which he aspires to govern, and whose
children he was desirous of gathering under his pater.
nal and protecting wing! If the Allies have really
made such a declaration as is attributed to them,
for we have it not officially; and if the Princ4 of the
House of BOURBON are to march in the van of the
armies collecting to oppose BONAPAUTZ, (he cause
which the Allies have espoused is more desperate
than ever—the object and the cry of the war are
changed—tlle all-powerful cry of liberty and he.
man tight which enabled them to overthrow
11 the disturber of the Continent," passes over I
to the enemy, or will, at least, be used by !iris,`
opponent, with as loud an appeal to the under-1
standings of men, as when all Germany, and the
nations of the North, gathered at the sound.. This is
the most dangerous weapon that could be put into the
hands of such a man as BONMPAIM ; and it will re-
main
to be seen whether the population of Germany
and the countless hordes of the North, who mus- I
tered at the sound of invasion and foreign fetters,
will again rally with eagerness, and devote themselves
with such death-defying energy, to replacea BOURION 1
Prince on the Throne of France. Be this as it may,
an attempt to reseat Louis XVIII. on the Thrboe of .
his ancestors is to be made, and already the rash re-
solve is loudly applauded iu this countryr—The Go-
vernment
Prints are rejoiced to find that their san-
guine hopes of a bloody war are likely to be speedily
realized, and we see but too much ground for
believing that their most sanguine and humane
expectations are, indeed, likely to be speedily
gratified. But miserable and fatal is the igno-
rance which would lead men to believe' that
France is net prepaired to resist invasion ;f-the
War Ministry of Fiance has been preparing thisyr
explosion for these nine months
_past. Ft et the
moment tIiaITALLETISAND recorded on the phroale
of the blind Canyon at Vienna the protest or

France against the pernicious principles laid down
at that assembly, when France again took her 1
high stand on the rights of men and na-
tioni, and told the assembled • Potentates of the
earth, that in the mutual relations of States the first
virtue is justice—that men who had bled for liberty
deserved not to be transferred over from Master to
Master like cattle, and that France could not ac-
quiesce in the arrangements of the Allied Sovereigns,
—she was committed to war, though the wily States-
man who thus paved the way for the return and
the‘ triumph of BONAPARTE, said his country would
not disturb the peace of Europe at that time. Louis
it is known had not the confidence of the nation—he
was incapable of wielding its energies against the
Powers who placed him on his throne—it is now clear 1
that he was ignorant of the conduct of his own
Ministers, who were preparing and laying the
means of nor and success in the way of a
more efficient aspirant to the kingly office.--'
Delusion has been practised upon delusion.—
The poor I armless Prince Louts, has been deluded
most cruely even by his own subjects ; but the
delusion which would have made us believe that
: the placing of that Prince on the throne would
content the people of France, was the most
egregious, and may be considered as the spring of
all the events, evil if they are, which have lately
happened—evil, and full of the cup of bitterness to
the human races will, we know, be the conse-
quences of again endeavouring to place a King of
the BOURBON line on the throne of France by
force of arms. Some of the Marshals, we are told,
remain with Louts--the faithful MARMONT, for in-
stance—where else would proscribed men fly to, but
the Court of their flying Sovereign ? But let
us hear no more of the loyalty of the French
King's Marshals, or of the military corps who
sent in their deluding addresses to
The treachery of Sotrur is as clear as day ; that of
MASSENA little less so. NUY showed himself the

friend of BONAPARTE in his keen reproach to the
Senate, for their hasty declaration against the NA..
eot.Eow dynasty. Has he shown himself the enemy
of BONAPARTE now ? Even IVIAcnoNALD trembled
at a reward from the BOURBONS. MARMONT, Au-
GERBAU, VICTOR, and JOURDAN, are severally
branded with treason or incapacity. What then is
to be derived from the attachment of the Marshals ?
After the defection of the troops ander NET—after
the boasted promises of OUDlNOT—after the issue of
the preparations at Melun, has the KING any hope
within the French 'frontier ? We need not say it is
ridiculous to believe he has.

Bat what is become of TALtrYnANn, who brought
the King in ? Did he know noll.ing of what was
going on ? The world wilt not believe that he was
ignorant of the plans in agitation. The official note
of Louis XVIII. addressed to the Foreign Ambassa-
dora, appointing a Meeting with the King at Lisle,
is signed by the Count de JACOURT, one of the five
Senators who, with TALLEYRAND, composed the
Provisional 'Government which succeeded the deposal
-of NAPOLEON—TALLEVRAND may be at this moment
performing a like office for BONAPARTE..
We hear nothing of the proceedings of NAPOLEON
'since his arrival in the capital. Ilis movements may
he expected to be very prompt. The discharges
from the armies of the Allies have given him the
means of speedily collecting a great army. Our let-
ten from Brussels state that the whole British and
Hanoverian army, on Tuesday,the 21st inst. marched
in four columns from thence for the frontiers of
France, composing a body of 41,000 of well dis-
ciplined and effective troops. But the Allies
have been taken greatly by surprise, and they are
not believed to be in a condition to commence active
warfare on the grand scale they meditate immediately.
Warned by the declaration of the Allies, if he
wanted any such warning, BONAPARTE may rush at
once upon Belgium, while Mu RAT probably only
waits till he should hear of his having completely
succeeded in his enterprise to pour. forth his army
into the North of Italy, and by supporting render
the rising in that country universal. The troops
of Austria have but small footing in Italy.--
The Swiss are known to be in arms, and fa►ourable
to BONAPARTE. The Crown Prince of SWEDEN has
been looked upon at the proud Congress of Vienna
ne an illegitimate. The starving of the Norwe-
glaneriato subjection to his power, may now appear'
as impolitic as it was cruel. But we may be blamed
for unpleasant anticipation. Show us then, who
can, n brighter prospect whereon to dwell, and hid
the eyes of our weary and fainting country repose
with gratulation. Our Ministers, and those who
have in their hands the destinies of mankind, will
not allow us any more agreeable subjects to con-
template.
The Allies, we are told, have made their terri-
ble vow against BONAPARTE on the presumption—
presumption with a vengeance I that we are
disposed to beggar ourselves to supply them svith
the means of equipment and maintenance during their
march—if we do not this, they vow, as they have
done before, in vain.

The King of FRANCE was accompanied to Lisle
by Momststat, the Dukes de Beim and ORLEANS,
and some of his principal Ministers of State, with
Marshal MARSIONT, at the head of a few of the Na-
tional Guards. The KING met seroral corps march-
ing to join BONAPARTE, who manifested no hostile
disposition toward his Majesty, so that although the
soldiers are not inclined to fight against ---RnNAPARTE,
it seems that they offy no outrage against the person
of their late Sovereign.
