We have received flies of French papers
to the 31st of March-the Journal de Par
is, the Constitutional, the Quondenne, &c.
All these papers bear the stamp of off ciai-
ity, and consequently. their content do
rot inspire us either with interest or conh-
dence as to their credibility.
They contain little more than the dull
eulogiums of Mr.. Lame, President of the
house of deputies, and of the Chancellor of
the House of Peers, on the virtues of Louis
the desired, and his royal household.
Here and there, however, we find ac-
counts OF persons imprisoned in the diff
ferent provinces for sedHious conuersa-
lions, and clamours in favor of the usur-
per.
There is in one ofthose papers, the Jour
nal of Paris of the ed of March, curious
confession of one marquis Descorches, late
project ofthe Drome in Dauphiny. In his
deposition on the trial of gen. Dcbelle, he
says, In excuse of that commander, for ha.
wing obeyed Bonaparte's orders, and refu
sing to join the standard of the duke of
Angouleme, that the sentiments of the
people in. favour of the usurfier, had burst
forth with such unanimity and violence,
and particuls rly among the country people,
that the general acted wisely in following
the current rather than stemming it" IL

Let it be remarked, that monsieur, the
marquis, is a jealous royalist !! Genera!
Debelle's trial is full of dispositions to the
same purpose, but which did not prevent
his being condemned to death by an emf
grant court martial. However, considering
that the general had never been favorite
with Napoleon, the legitimate clemency has
commuted the pain OF death to ten uea1s'

By these papers we see that General
MasseHa's great crime is not having obeyed
and delivered up to the English, the town
of Toulon, and the feet in that harbour,
according to the legitimate orders of the
duke ofAngouleme, lwho. we understand,

The rumors of the day, which VIC do not
find in the Paris papers, speak of porten-
tous events by the actual influence OF prince
Eugene DeaundrnOiS, tine adopted son OF
NapoleoD) at the court Of Vienna. He ap-
pears now to be the hero on whom the
French nation rest their hopes of deliver
ance. He is now on the French frontiers
of the Lower Rhine with a numerous army.
