GOVERNMENT OF FRANCE.
DECLARATION OF THE KING.
Louis, by the grace of God, king of France
& Navarro, Recalled by the love of our people
to the thvone OF our fathers, enlightened by the
mistortunes OF the nation which we are destin.
ed to overn our first thought is to invoke that
mutual confidence so necessary to our repose
and their happiness. After having read with
attention the plan OF the constitution proposed
by The senate, in the sitting of the OH of A.
prii last, we have recognized that the bases
were good, but thata great number of articles
bearing the marks OF the precipitation with
which they have been dawn up, cannot, in
their present form, become fundamental laws
OF the state. Resolved to adopt liberal
constitution, we wish that il should be wisely
combined, and not being able to accent one
which it is indispensibly necessary to correct,
we convoke for the l0tli of June of the present
year the senate and Legislative body, engaging
TO lay before them the result of our iabors,
with commission chosen from those two boz
dies, and to give thst constitution the follow
ing guarantees -" The representative gov,
ernment shall be maintsiued such it exists
at present, divided into two corps, viz.--The-
senate, and house composed OF deputies OF
departments
&c The taxes shall be freely i'm used Public s.
private liberty ensured. The liberty of the press
respected, with the precautions necessary TO the
public tranquility. The freedom OF worship guar

1t appears that Bonaparte has been greatly
alarmed at the different scenes which the Just
indignation of the inhabitants OF the South has
caused him to experience in several places.
On quitting orgoni where be considered him,
self as lost. Ire took the resolution of changing
his carriage, his name, aud his dress, in order
to escape the danger which became every mo-e
ment more menacing he hastily gained our
port, and has arrived here in the dress of AN
Austrian officer, eRveloped in Russian peIissss
and on his head n Prussisn cap, ornamented
with large white cockade--In this strange &C.
coutrement it was impossible to discover him.
Besides, this he had long white beard, his
eyes sunk, and disturbed air he was himself
anxious to depart; he wished to make but one,

embarked at st. Rapheau; but 1t is feared that
the Inhabitants of the isle of Elba are not very
eager to receive him It is said that consider-
able fermentation prevails in the island upoE

they were the first islanders on the coast ofIts-
ly invaded by Bonaparte, and are unconscious
