LONDON:
THURSDAY, MARC 4 16, 1815.

Mr. JACKS, after explaining that, in consequence
of a numerous Meeting held at the Nl:vision-House
that had resolved upon it, it was his intention to
go regularly to work, and although, from what they
saw there Was little hope of their succeeding in their

ARRIVAL OF IMPORTANT FRENCH
PAPERS.

At a late hour this forenoon, we received the Paris
Papers from the 11th to the 13th inclusive. They,
are filled with important matter—Proclamationly:
accounts of military preparations to rtisist Hoek%
PARTE—discussions of the Legislative branches on
the dangers menacing the State—but convey very
little clear information regarding the progress of
Boyar titTE. Enough however is disclosed, theugh.l
he is still called " a wretched adventurer," to show
that NAPOLEON'S power is great and on the increase,
and that he proceeds with rapid strides in his gigantic
project. lie also must have issued Proclamationi
and Bulletins, but, these are studiously withheld.--;
The latest official annonce from Park regarding the
subject that fills all minds, is four—o'clock in the
morning of the 13th. The Telegraphing from Lyons
stems to have been stopt. BONAPARTE was certainly
'in possessipn of that place. The Papers express a
hope that the deliverance of Lyons was at hand. The
force employed for its defence it confessed to have
been insufficient. " We have taken measures to arrest
his (Bormsavels) progress between Lyons and
Paris," says Loils't Proclamation, in which he eon-
jures " all parties,'7ll4 rhestrange uscif the forme
popular and arousing watch-word of " Liberty
and Equality," to unite in potting down the
invader. MACDONALD and his force had pill
against BONAPARTE. General Vrtatte is at.
cused of disloyalty. fie hod attempted to march
over his squadron of cavalry to BONAPARTE, bat it
is said, his own men discovered hie treachery, arrest.
ed him, and sent information So Paris of the circa's-
stance. For the other particulars communicated In
the, Frond) Papers; we must Wei "to the eittiticts
which we subjoin.

Ile moved a Resolution agreeably thereto, which
being pot, was seconded by
Mr. WAITPIMIN, who had heard the lletste in the
louse of Lords, and had heard it in a way Netter
than by trudging to the Newspapers: He had
no great faith in their listening to the Petition of
the Common Council, after he saw their own Re.
port, and observed the great respect they paid to it,
and to the other Petitions with which their Table
was ronnin . But he knew that they did state the
tn,:. of tier l'etitioua having prayei nothing of the
kind, and he was, therefore, desirous of humouring
them.

Mr. Praasai.said, this was an important question,
sad he had every desire that the Petitions should he
presented, although he thought there were few
hopes of snreess, Me 'haying waited au two Noble
Lords this day, with Petitions.signed by 6000 voters,
and having been informed by them that the Bill was
sure of passing.
,Mr. Duos, was is favour of the Petition.
Mr. Bumstrad, Mr. Pavel!, Mr. White, and Mr.
Alderman Goodbehe►e also supported the mea.
sore--after which the Petition t►as agreed to weal&
stroasly.

PARIS, 141 ARCII 13.—The Duke of Orleans arrived
this day at Paris, sent by Monsieur to receive the
King's commands upon the unforeseen events which
have prevented an assembly of a sufficient force ai
Lyons to defend that city against the rebels. The
rapid march of Bonaparte has certainly weakened him
in point of numbers. Ile presents no strong force on
any point. Nothing announces the increase of his
army, and to arrest his progress our troops are march-
ing in every direction.

-

We are not deceived in saying that the brave
French troops were incapable of being seduced.
_ _

I The four squadrons of the Royal Chasseurs of
France were marched by Gen. Lefebre Desnouettes
towards the enemy. At Compeigne they discovered
that his intentions were disloyal ; they immediately
belted, and placed themselves under the command of
j General Lions, who countermarched them for their
1 old quarters at Cambray, sending off a deputation of
' one Lieutenant-Colonel, one Major, and one Cap.
tain to the King to explain the circumstances, and
assure him of their fidelity.

PROCLAM ATIO
" Totaille rie9, March 11.
" After twenty-five years of Revolution, by the
most signal blessings of Providence, we have restored
peace and tranquillity to France. We have given to
the kingdom *a Constitutional Charter guaranteeing
aniverial liberty. That Constitution has been,the rale
of our copduct since oar restoration in lane, and
we have received every support from the Cham-
ber of Peers and the Legislative Body.----We
!rave been amply repaid for this by the love of our
people. We call on thqt love to show itself now in
supporting oft against 114. enemy who is polluting
French ground, and u ha k endeavouring to create
a. chit war. All part;es ob-ght to unite against
hint. They ought all have but one wish—to de.
altly theTy.rnnt who loves neither country nor libel..
ty, nor a regular Government. All Frenchman equal
b. the Constitution ought to unite in defence of it. It
is in order to save them that we now make this appeal.
The moment is cotne *Mina great example must be
shown—..we expect it from a brave, loyal, and free
nation, whose whole efforts must be made against an
enterprite which h directed against the very existence
