BY the Hesper, we have received
French papers to the 9Th OF May -Dot
they contain nothing new.
BY the Hesper we learn, that Bona
Eparte had left Paris on the 9Th OF May
| That his army did not consist OF more
than 160to 100000 men-that the even
linz before the lIesrer sailed, the ropulace
of Iiaere, paraded the streets, crying OUT

epithets agsinst Bonaparte.
We have seen letter from France

The 9th Prussian corps was on its
march. to the interior of France.
1t appears that Nantz is to be garrisoned
with 5000 Prussian troops Prussian troops
were at Caen.
Austrian troops continued to advance
towards France, even from Hungary and
from Italy.
A Danish army is marching to the
French frontier.
Additional British troops continue to en-
ter France.
We do not perceive any account Of the
advance of Russian reinforcements.
The Paris Official Gazette of August
IS, says neither the Austrian nor Russian
armies in France have been reinforced
There are Paris papers days later than
this.
Two hundred thousand pounds Of bread,
one hundred thousand pounds of meat, and
one hundred Thousand itres of brandy, are
daily issued to the allied troops at and a.
bout Paris.
Fifteen thousand muskets and eighty-se-

French depot at Vicennes to the English
and Prussians. Ten thousand were to
have been delivered to the Russians and
they went for them, but some difficulty
prevented their delivery.

gust 10 says, Tire letter recently published
as from Louis 10, is proved to be genuine
by a letter from the Duke of Berr. But
this we believe is matter of inference from
the sentiments of the Duke ,;rAther than his
aSssrSion. The Duke complains of prus-
sa, but compliments the Russians and
English, particularly the latter. He says
the Bourbons will never consent to the de-
graduation of France. From this the Nor
ming Chronicle infers, that there is some
plan for the dismembcrment of France.
The Russian Governor of Lorraine has
displaced the Russian Intendant in the De-
partment of the Meuse, and restored the
authority to the French Project.
The disbanding of the old French army,
and forming new one, is in a great many
cases mere transfer of the same men
from one army 10 the other. A part of
the old army still remains in some force.
Marselles is considered one of the most
loyal cities in France. The attachment to
the Bourbons, and aversion to the Bonapar-
teams, is of the most decisive character
Their friendship is extended literally to
the friends of Louis. A large British
squadron has been welcomed into Mar
settles harbor, and public dinner and
ball has been given to the officers-and the
Russian, English and French colors en-
twned at the theatre.
a great number of loyal addresses come
from all parts of France to the King. Sc
veral of them invite the punishment of the
distinguished and active Bonapartists.
The Electoral College of Mclun, has
| nominated the Duo d'Otrante (Fouche) to
the Legislature. One English paper says
| there is a GOODNESS between Talleyrand
and Fouche, because the latter believed
the former opposed the marriage of his son
with Madcmois:lle Beauveau. Other ac-
counts say these two Statesmen concert
| together to rule Louis. Fouche is repre-
| sented as very wealth., and very careful of
his property.
At the siege of Mezieres, one hundred

A French expedition appointed to take
possession of the Isle of Bourbon, arrived
at Port Louis, Isle of France, on the 51st
March, and sailed thence the day following.
Two French merchant ships had also arri.
we'd there on the ID of April, with cargoes
of wine and manufactured goods from
France.
by advices from Genoa, to the 18th Of
July, upwards of twenty small privateers
were out from Porto Ferrajo, infestine
those seas, and greatly interrupsing the
trade two vessels, one from Trieste to
Lsghorn, and the other from Leehorn to
Iunis, are said to have been captured bv
them.

The Brisk sloop of war, captain Hig-
man, has arrived at Portsmouth from tie
coast OF Africa, after a passage of I3
weeks. She has on board 900 ounces Of
geld dust and 40 tons of ivory. During her
cruise on the coast, she was very success
tul in interrupting the Spaniards and Por-
tuguese IN trading in African Slaves She
captured four vessels and lib rated ZOO
slaves ; one of the vessels was armed and
fired into one of the Brisk's boats. The
Slave Trade, we are happy to learn, was
fat--in consequence of the natives on the
coast demanding tax from the traders of
the interior, who came down to make their
bargains with the ships. But another
reason was, our ships of war were extreme
ly vigilant in looking out for the ira
ders in this inhuman traffic and. as a
thing of course, in proportion to the risks,
the trade falls off.
We yesterday, received the following
interesting communication, dated the 9TH

reported, they are masters of the Island,
except Porto Ferrao, whose commander

The King of the Two Sicilies has writ

eral Bianchi, comforting upon him the III
tie of duke of Case LAMA, the place where
Murat's army fulfilled the conditions he
dictated to them, and an estate producing
clear annual revenue of 5000 Neapolitan
ducats.
General Rondeau, with the Buenos
Ayres troops under his command, has OBJ
tanned possession of PotoSi.
The Paris papers add a report that gen.
Laborde had been arrested.near Rennes-
that the Prussians were TO enter Nantz on
the 9Th (; all the arms and ammunition in
the Castle had been removed-that new
corps of Prussian cavalry were on their
