all the emigrants who have entered The

ordered to quit the service, and the Mi

Emigres who have not been particularly
privileged by the emperor, or BY those
serving under him, who have arrived in
France SINCE January /, 1914, are order

those found within it after Is days, are
to be arrested and tried, and their pro-

particularly by the lower order. The
English are equally disliked and yes

The following letter from resnectable

extraordinary occurrence gave birth

I" We have during the last week expe-
ricnced considerable alarms, and been
subjected to the most deplorable rumors
in consequence of the sanding of Bona
parte, with about 1000, men in the south
of France; and having proceeded with
some. accession of strength. even to the
vicinity of the Capital. BY accounts
however in a deini-officia! share received
this morning, it appears that his exnecta-
lions of general rising had not been re-
allied; and that he was particularly dis
appointed, as to the success of simulta-
neGus movements on the point of lie
Fe5re & Drouct in the Nartfl of France;
that after some sl;irmishing he lad re-
treated into the mountains beyond Lyons,
with about 1000 men.
The accounts We had last week were
OF course exaggerated, as they tended 70
express the belief that Louis tie XYIIIth
had abandoned Paris and retired into
tie Netherlands; that the majority of
the people and nearly all the. military
had declared for Bonararte; whereas
there is now every reason to hoEe, that
their attempt will be completely frustra-
ted, and tae safety of Europe secured in
a manner which could not be expected
as lopg as Bo.aaarte was suffered to re-
main in El5a, or the vicinity of France.
My last will have informed you that
the war duties were taken of exports !:
but that on-imports they were continued
by a special act till July 5tl,. Cotton.
under this act pays as formerly Id per lib.
less in British than foreign vessels and
there is an expectation, from the obser-
vations made by the Chancellor of the
exchequer that tie duty on cotton I'M
ported in British vessels will cease or be
reduced to Id, per lb. but they seem 80
much at loss for objects of taxation.
and soundecided in their measures, that
| do not place any dependence upon the
acts of our ministry till passed into laws.
But British vessels for the present will be
preferable.
1t is rather expected, that consolda-
ton actwill take place, attended with
advances upon some of the. duties.
Wheat & -four will not do from America,
the ports under the old act being shut
from the 18th February to the 18th Nay,
except at the fish duties: ard bill is
now in progress, and is expected-to rass.
which raises the average to SCs. and if
it takes effect viii be tantamount to a
prohibition from your quarter.
