* l * papers to the 15tb of Mffy, brought by the Chatswerth from Havre; and with trartSiaSons to the same date. In the present state of the French press, nothing interesting, hardly any tiling- true, -is tai be found or expected in the papers. Some articles follow:—Patriot. ['Translatedfor the Patriot.] P < tu s, May 14. The lieutenant general, commanding the 7th military district, and the prefect of tjie department of Isere, (Dau- J tline) inform the inhabitants that a telegraphic des patch, edited the 6th, gives them the following instruc tions. “The department of Isere must be considered in a state of seige. The civil and military authorities have a discretionary powsr.” According to'ut(breclamation in seven articles of the prefect of'the same department, a general disarmament of its inhabitants was to take place under the penalty of death, as those that should conceal arms or ammunition would be considered as accomplices in the rebellion Which broke out on the night of the 4th of May, by a vigorous t' ck on thefortified town of Grenoble, capi tal of their department. The lame magistrate intimates to the inhabitants that ■the rebels have been defeated; however, he Says, the de partment legion is in pursuit of them. The dis..rjTK..nent of the inhabitants of the department of Pus de Calms, has been also ordered, under the same penalties. The inhabitants of the departmantde L’Aisne, are de nounced by the royai newspapers as being unfavorable to government. The permanent council of war of the 16th military di vision, sitting it Lille, has condemned, on the 5th of May, general Ciuiriran to death, for having accepted in March and April, 1815, t mission, the object of which was tj. destroy the king’s government in the south of Trance. Another article of the same paper, mentions tiie arriv al in Pans of colonel La Caive, chief the staff the ISth military division (Lyon) on an important mission. National guards.are reported to be still in movement from Lyons to Grenoble. . A .Swiss regiment, garrisoned in Rcsuncon, has been ordered to the same place. The following paragraph, extracted from the same pa per, m.,y give a g ood idea of the fright the royal Lys feels at the sight of the imperial eagle, under whatever color it shows itself. It expresses itself as follows: The legion of die department de L’Aisne on its way to Paris, halted at Boiiryet. Some solcjicrs perceiving a peasant partly dressed in military clothes, remarked him close enough to observe that his spatterdashes were fastened with buttons sn,mped with eagles: they immediately seiz ed him, and were in tiie act of conducting him before their colonel, when the pe sunt found the means of ef fecting his escape, by abandoning tne horse lie was rid ing—..n officer of the police who was present, immedi ately despatched after the runaway his agents: liis name is known, and he will certainly be arrested. " Translated for the Patriot. • Meiinin, March 5. Our differences with the United States are about as suming a serious character, in consequence of the refu sal of the American government, to restore provisional ly that part of Florida which is the s ibject of our demand. It will be recollected th .t Bonaparte, obtaining Louis iana bv his partizaas in the then Spanish ministry, sold that vast province to the United States for sixteen mil lions of dollars. Our present government does not mean to contest the validity of that sale; but it desires to lose nothing but Louisiana, itself. The United States consider, on the contrary, part of West Florida as being united to tile government of Louisiana, and following the condition of the principal province. Mr. Jefferson', tlie former president of the L'nited States, declared that 4-his difference should be the subject of a negotiation: but Mr. Madison thought that he could negociate more ad vantageously after having Liken possession of the object in dispute. This usurpation met With success during the troubles of Spain. Now we reclaim the territory which belongs to us, in the most amicable manner. Instead of negotiating, the American government declares it will keep the territory. Here then is the commencement of a rupture. It is doubtless very disagreeable to us to see ourselves menaced with u war by the United States, at a time when we have to combat the insurgents of Buenos Ayres and the Caraccas. We hate no allies against the United States; we calculate on die energy and justice of our cause. [Note.—Spain reclaims what does not belong to her; she has no “justice” to calculate upon; her “energy” will avail her nothing in a contest with us, and she will take care not to commence such a contest. The “insur gents” of the Sp..nisii provinces are patriots, and merit, as we hope they will finally secure, full success.—Bal timore Patriot. eived by the whole population, a&iidst tiie cries of Vive le Roi ! Immediately the prevotai court assembled and com menced their trial; they wifi, with the liast delay pos sible, be judged and punished with all the severity of the law. In the evening a tavern keeper by the name ot Robelin, who entertained the chiefs of the insurgents, was arrested, and has made important discoveries in his confession, as to the names of the leaders. To the agitation of the night, succeeded on Sunday morning a public solemnity. Prayers were offered up in the cathedral, in commemoration of die king’s entry into Paris. 4 The .Mrs eager des Chambres, an evening paper, has been suppressed by order of the minister of police, for having given circulation, on the lOth instant to a rumor disseminated by malevolence, relative to a pretended at tempt said to have been made by the factious against tiie town, of Toulouse ! An order of the prefect of thq department of Pas-ffe- Calais, allows a delay of 15 days, for the purchasers or concealers o£ arms and military' effects, to make a decla ration and restitution of these objects.
