We received this morning the Paris
papers Of Thursday last. They mention
aoth;na Of Bonaparte' s intended departure
tbnnub Il is certain he left Paris on
Tuesday evening, under strong escort
|,f dragons, and took the route to LIsle.
It is said that he is going to inspect the
,tate oe the fortresses and the whole OF
|the northern frontier. The Party how
ever will have it he feels himself strong
enough to commence offensive operations
that he will endeavour to strike an lmme'
date blow that battle will be foughs
before the Goth of this month-and "wha'
horrors must ensue," add the Opposition
For all of which he alone is accounta-
BILE The Paris papers say, that his head
quarters are to he at Candle, close upon
the frontiers on the read from Nalencien-
nes.-Ihe French military forces is di-
yided into ten corps the four first of
(which are at Lisle. Valenciennes, Meier
|as, Metz and Thionville, commanded by
Generals D'Erlon, Relic, Nandamme &
Girard-the fifth corps is under General
|2app, at Strasburg-the sixth at Laon,
uuder count Lobau--the seventh at
c::reuohle and Cherburg, under Marshal
tsrouchy-the eighth at Bordeaux, under
General Caazel-the ninth at IouIon
lander Marshal Brune--the tenth at Per-
oignan. Ii is curious that of all the old
I5larsha's, only one, Bruno, is employed
lin the command of any army, and he was
ia disgrace during the last campaigns.

The treaty between the allies, signed
lat Vienna on the 25th March, IS publish
led in these papers, with some remarks,
stating tbat the perusai Of the treaty will
prove that the allied powers were not IN
any manner acquainted with the position
0t france when they renewed the treaty
Of Chaumont. These papers haye also
published the kiDg OF Frances decIaTa-
ton. dated at Gaent on the 10Th Of last
month. They add tat it has been INTRO
duced into France, bgt that it is not an-
tbentic. This is what is called Bona
uarte's Freedom Of tie Press. The docu-
ments which he breads are declared to
be forged. such as the declaration OF the
allies at Vienna, and the declaration OF
the King of France. And the papers are
not permitted to publish them without ad-
ding that Trey are rot authentic. lIieE

The retreat OF Nurat seems to have
created uneasiness ard surpriZe to Eona-
parte. The papers cannot account Iort 1t,
for he had not been beaten in any great
battle. nor opposed by a superior ierce.
Some impute it to our having declared war
against him, which made him fear tor the
