PARIS, Aug 10.
We are assured that declaration of the Allied
Sovereigns which will appear in few days, is
of a nature to satisfy all minds It is believed
that his Majesty's birth day will be the epoch of
a detnitve arrangement, according to which the
greater part of the allied troops viii quit France
leaving only the number necessary for the main
tenance of internal tranquility.
A letter from Vienna of the 18th ult saws
"When the intelligence of Napoleon having sur
rendered himself to the English, arrived here.
the Empress went to Baden TO prepare the Arch,
Duches Maria Louisa for this news She receiv-
Ell 1t with firmness, but shut herself up in her A.
partments. We are assured tina. she will soon
leave Baden 70 return to the Castle Of schoen-
br'inn. She has forbid the persons who attend
ed on her son toinform him Of the events which
have occurred in France"
August ID.
Persons who have theopportunity ofbeinp well
informed, assert very positively that the integri.
ty OF the French territory is now on the point of
being admitted, as already regulated by negocia-
tons at the Congress Of Paris tina. If the occu-
patton ofcertaip frontiers of the kingdom for a
Limited time, by a certain number ofallied troops
be judged necessary, that condition will only be
stipulated TO guarantee the execution Of the 9TH
er Articles Of the Treaty. IL is added, that Rus
STA and England interfere in the affairs of France
with so much moderation, nobleness and good
faith that the use which they make of their pow
er Is no less admirable than the lustrQ Of their
success. In fine, we are assured that the King
Of France, reduced as he has been to the mere in
huence Of his virtues, and the moral power of his
name, will soon s,lrmOunt the cruel trials which
his heart has undergone, with glory tire more
eminent in consequence of it's being entirely due
to the ascendaDcy ofhis character, & the strength
Of mind with which he is endowed.
II has been reported that Joseph Bonaparte was
discovered and arrested in Paris-A journal add.
