It would liave been alike dangerous to have arr«3ted him too scon, or otherwise than he was arrest ed : It was even necessary that lie should think himself f:ee, and that the surv,illance T>f which he was the object, should be perceiv ed neither by himself nor ethers. Incapa citated, after his abdication; from renewing , the contest with any hope of success, he jTtight nevertheless hpve caused great calami ties by following the advice of some madmen The interests of humanity, therefore, requi red that a great deal of address and manage ment should be exercised towards him. It •was thus that he was conducted to Rochefort •without noise. He remained several days in the roads, having his spy glass perpetually fixed on the fatal English squadron, and una ble to find the means of escape. Thrice he put h to Rochefort, but each time he per ceived tiiat he was not less rigorously watch ed on the land side ; and it at last became ne cessary to reso’vi on something, he prefer red surrendering to the English. It is belie ved that he will be provisionally placed in the T *ser of London. The Hanseatic legion arrived at Brussels, lias received orders from the duke of Wel lington to continue its march tj Paris. Marshal Ney, before setting off for Swi'z crl ind, consulted, it is said, the duke of Ta rentum ns to the course he should take in ex isting circumstances. He asked the duke whether he should go abroad or remain in Trance.” You did not ask my advice on the 14th of March,” replied mondial McDonald. The king rectntly aaktd the duke of Wel lington his age : “ Sire, I was botn in 1768.” “ And Bonaparte also,” replied hit majesty ; “ Providence gave us also the antidote.” Charles Lalleraand set off on the 29th ult. for Rochefort, provided with three passports in different names, and with letters of recom mendation to several merchants in the United States —Henry Lallematid eet out on the 7th instant for L’Orient.

We are assured, that commissioners ap pointed by the four great allied powers will superintend Bonaparte duting the whole of his life, in that part of England in which he shall be detained, and which is not yet deter mined on. At Caen, Gen. Boisserolles, who comman ded the garrison of the castle, hoisted the roy al colors on the 10th, und gave up to the na tional guard the post of honor and the artil lery.

Yesterday a considerable sum was paid ott account of the contribution imposed on Paris. It was the produce of the dismbution of the burthen on different ciatsess of citizens. The notaries, it is said, paid 226 000 fiancs; the law agents 300 000 ; the merchao's 600,000; the hankers 400,000 ; the exchange agents 500,000.

To all persons to •whom these presents shall come Greeting : We have been informed that several mem bers of the house of peers have accepted seats in a pretended house of peers, named and as sembitd by the man who had usurped the power of our states, from the 20th of March until our return to the kingdom- It is be yond a doubt that the peers of France, since they have not yet been made hereditary might and may give in their resignation, inasmuch as they thereby only dispose of advantages which are purely personal. It is equally evi dent that the acceptance or functions incom patible with the dignity with which they are supposes and is necessarily followed by the resignation of that dignity, and conse qnen ly the peers who are in the si uation above mentioned have really abdicated their rank, and have in fact resigned the peerage. For these reasons we have decieed and do decree as folio.rs : Art. 1. The persons herein after named are no longer part of the house of peers— The Count Clement de It s, the Count Colchen, the Count Cornudei, the Count d’Aborville, the Marshal Duke of Damzick, the Count de Croix the Count Dedel y d’A gier, the Count Dt-jcan, the Count Fabre de l’Aude, the Count Cussendt, the Count La cepedo, the Count de Laiour Maubourg, the Duke de Praslin, the Duke of Placentia, the Marshal Duke of Elchingen, the Marshal Duke of Alhufera, the Maishal Duke of*Cor negliano, the Marshal Duke of Treviso, the Count de B..rral Archbishop of Tours, the Count Boissy d’Anglas the Duke de Ca'dore, the Count de Cancloux, the Count Casablan ca, the Count de Montesquieu, the Count de Pontecoulant, the Count Uampon, the Count dc Segur, the Count de Valence, the Count Belliard. Art. 2. Such of the above named persons shall be excepted from the above regulation, as shall prove that they have neither set nor endeavored to sit in the pre'ended house of pe rs to which they had been called, upon condi ion that they make such proofs within the month following the publication of this decree. 3 Our president ofthe council of ministers ! is charged with the e\ cution of this decree.

Extract of a letter. I arrived at this place about four hours be fore the King of France, m.de his entry into it. The town hud been summoned bv our English troops in the name of Louis XVIII on the 23d inrt. tht Cut summons being ieject ed a few cannon shot Were fired on each side, but without doing much mischief. Night put an end to the firing, and early next morn ing, a parley Wus helJ between the governor and the besieger*. This conference also ter minated ineffectually, and an assault Was msde by the English troops ih two places, and in less than two hours the town was in our possession, without any material loss. The governor retired into the citidel, where he capitulated in the course of the 25ih, when the place Was consigned to the city guard, of whom the Colonel, who had been suppressed by the rebel government, resumed the com mand , dnd the white flag and white cockade were every where hoisted. This event was hailed vti'lt universal exultation. Notice was given, that the King had arrived, at Cateau Cambresis, only 8 miles distatr. Instantly a guard of honor was foimtd by the young men of 'he most respectable families a ttiumphal atch was ertetedat the approach to the city. In the morning of the 26th the guard matched to meet the King. The principal y> uog ladies of the plate- diessed in white ab ac moled at the aren, lecetvcd his Majesty ; there, and scattered flowers before him all j the way to the Hotel de Ville. It was about one o’clock in the afternoon when the King reached the town, hL piogress having be-m considerably impeded by the im mense multitude of the country people, who flocked hum all the neighbi ur.ng villages to ste and welcome him back to his dominions. Ihe acclamations amid which he entered the city were so loud, so universal, and apparent ly so hearty that one would have a oifficulty I to believe that the people in this part ol the country would hare taken the least shate in the 1 ite revolt. Gtten boughs, in sign of joy, were so thickly spread from the windows, that, viewed Irotn nn upper story, the streets seemed to fotro so many green alleys, and the prospect ms infinitely picturesque. Arrived at trie town house, tlie people unharnessed the horses, and drew the King in his coach to the nouse ho n,„-.tns to occupy.—-The enthusiasm secir.-t: at iiensible that ooc could r .b: ;) go quickly, to buc.i a scene cf j >y, from rl#e midst of fieki= loaded with thousai.J* of slaic, and cities be- Md wi;kin sud without by slaughter. The groans, of the wounded dying are still ringing in »iy cars; and 10, l am surrounded by a j' yous multitude who seem intoxicated with shouting Vive le Hoi. Even the littfe children, when they see an offi cer pass with the white cockade set up the shout which they have learnt iiom their fathers. A1 ready has the town been illuminated for two nights successively ; and all thss day the in habitants have been dancing in the public square. It seems that the joy or being dtiivered front the horrors of a new revolution, and from the necessary evils of war, has convert ed their pleasure at the sight of the King into a real delirium. Not is it only the towns people who share in these festivities, she town has been like a fair ever since I have 1 been here with the v.’-st multitudes of peasants flocking into it in every diiection. The ex ample of loyalty has extended to the neigh boring towns. Queshoi has submitted. Ba paume has hoisted the white cockade. Valen ciennes wo*»ld have opened its gates but the commandant, Rev, who play ed a distinguish ed part in the infamous war in Spain, has shut himself up in the citadel with about 500 Dou aniers, and threatens to fire upon the town if it makes any royalist demonstrations. Arras is on the eve of declaring itself. The emperor Alexander has presented two swords, supposed to be the richest and the most splendid ever seen, to the duke of Well ington and piince Bluclier.

Extract of a letter from an American gentle man in Bordeaux, to a respectable mercan tile house in Boston , dated July 28. “ It is said the Treaty of Paris has been renewed between Louis 18 and the Allied Monarehs, with the addition that the for mer is to nmntain 100,000 of their troops in France for 5 years, at the expense of 000.000,000 of francs. lftbeFraueh peo ple descend to such humiliating terms, the country may be tranquil by force of arms for several years. “T he white flag was displayed here on the 2«'d inst. and is now waving from the window of almost every house in town.” SEPTEMBER -5.

It is not in general the want of evidence, but the want of virtue, that makes men in fidels ; let thorn cease to be wicked and they will soon cease to be unbelievers. “ It is with the heart,” says St. Paul (not with the head) “ that iwnn believetb unto righteousness.” Correct the heart and ail will go right. Unless the soil is good all the seed you cast upon it will be lasted in vain. In the parable of the sower we ind, that the only seed which came to perfection, was that which fell on good ground , or an honest and a good heart. This is the first and most essential requisite to belief. Unbe lievers complain of the mysteries of revela tion ; but we have the highest authority f #r saying that, in general, the only mystery w Inch prevents them from receiving it, i* the mystery of iniquity.
