Do you know that Proclamation ? The Gen.—-No your Majesty (this was said with marry of his honoui.) The King—The Duke of Pierrr\e, Mated al des Camps in the service of the King is here. It is potlible that he has brought this pub ication with him. 1 will let him V called if you wifil it. (When hisrSajelfy,inflie countenance of the Genera!, perceived his riv quie tude and uncalincl* at this,) he acided, “ Bui perhaps this would caute 100 much oblervation.” The General.—Yes; but if your majetly would fend it to me in a cover at the out polls. 1 would read it myfclf, and my officers should alio ice it. Y he King*—ln this Proclamation chc ICirtg prornifea to all military per ‘■ ions who wish to return to their duty, to retain them in their rank and hon ors. Do you luppofe Geneial, that the’prefent Bate of affairs 111 France writ half long ? 4 The Gen.—Every thing is liable to change. The you- think that Providence which hitherto has allowed you fomany lucceffes, can put a flop to them for the lake of jultice and the good cau le ? The Gen. But it may happen that pcrlpns who mean well, aft according to their con-vittion, even againlt the de crees of Providence. The King.—l luppofothat you may Hill have luccefs- Can you, howev'r think that it will always continue so? If you had the choice to serve your lawful king, or thecadle yt>u l ave now adopted—what would you dofAnfwer me sincerely. ‘l'iie Gen.—(ln rubbing his forehead) that is a qucflion which inquires con iideration. The King.—To me it seems that you ought not to want much time to tbu.k of it. Teh me only whither you would picfer returning to your duty, or deier.ding thole principles which you have adapted. -T he-Gen.—ln regard to that—Yes, 2 Jhall oefend thole principles, I fhail do my duly f< r the k relent. The King.—Do you know that Bona parte has propoitd to the Kmg to treat with him on Ids right. ‘This is the g eaielt proof of hu acknowledging thole lights that he could give. The Gen.‘— I am ignorant about > tjiat. ‘ j But do you know that the King l)as ! conitamiy reluled if, and laid as Fiiu-i. ) cis Ilf.

As r, mjlflary man, I am expo fed |o ludr a fate every rtiomeiu.— I’he qucflion not to die, but to die as one ought. T he King.—But that depends upon utiforeleen circuinfiances. Thereof, ifts however a happinels, which corf. Tiffs in peaeje 0* mind—theconfequcuce of having fulfilled one’s duties, and afttd according to the diftates of con. dc icnie. . Bonaparte can never have that peeceof mind. Fie might have made him fell'’-immortal if he had reftor* ■ed the throrre to the King. He may gain fortuitous honor, much celebrity, and many advantages, but htf never can enjoy any peace of mind. When the Gen. began to /peak of the talents of Bonaparte, *md said that there was none of the Bourbon family who was dillingurfheb r so many, the Ki''g anlwered, 44 Thete occur favor, able circtnnftances, and it needs only to take advantage of them.” The Gen. feemedto admit this, The King-—Tlie-clcaih of the Duke of Enghtens—rwhat an enortiut) ! The Gen.—l was ?t that time in Conffaniinople and cannot explain it. When the conyerfation turned on the French Revolution, the Gen. said: I .belong to the Revolution,and it has been brought about by the will of the French people. The King.—it is not the French people that have made the Revolution ; it is the rabble. W e now..'fie plainly the confluences of thefe* mob revo’ lutions of which you speak This one began with-abolrQnng all diflirvftion in order to-introduce equality, and now yourfelf arc a proof that tliefc princi ples are changed. Ihe Gen—ls your majeflv had been in the place, of Louis XVI. the. Revolution had never happened. The King.*—l will not piaii'e my. fell'on ‘.hat head, as j have never found myfdfin such cut urn fta rices. He was too good arid . conciliatory, and. has proved, that those qualifications, wheu mi (applied, may hare fatal conp qaen. ces. You have yourfelf'ed p.re on to this fubjeft.

Can you imagine that I should look with indifference upon people neglecting their du y to their lawbr 1 Kmg,j/v’hen l am a King my felf ? that would be to forget what I owe to my felf. v . . . • The Gen.—-Your Majcfty confidery the King a* a biother. Ihe King.— It fdetos to me that the F>'nch ought themselves to under ft and their dunes, without expetting that I ■should set them the example, Gen. JVunc here returned to the ftife* jest about the additional clause in the arjiiidice. Y’our Majefly is tbiu de termined as to the ten days notice ? ■ The King. Yes. ‘The Gen.—Jiut fliould not your Majeify with 10 agiee privately that the armistice fliall not ceale till after a month's notice ? The King. You do not know me rightly if you believe me capable of en tering inio li.chun agreement. The Gen.—l know your inajefiy’s charafter. Such is the fubflancc of 1 his con ference, during which General Arune found it and fli. ult to conceal his embai> ralfineru, wihen, notwithftafuiing all his endeavours, was apparent in his coun” tenance and ccriverlation.

Answer of'the Prussian Court to the Aus trian offer of Mediation “ His Majesty the King, recognizing the motives which induced his Apostolie Maj-sty to offer hi* mediation between the more distinguished of tlv* powers now at wnr in order, by means of his good servi ces, m lead to conferences concerning peace, is eager to testify all the gratitude he feel* on this sedount,. Ihe King beholds this measure of the Court of Vicuhii with plea sure as it respects himself, considering it at the t ffcct of that friendship of which the emperor nnd Kmg has given him more than *one proof, ami therefore feel* this more strongly. The desire to the evils terminated, whifti have pressed up on Em ope during so many ytmrs, and his natural moderation would induce him to accept without scruple, the offer of his imperial and royal majesty, if he could convince himself that the basis which France ivoul l consent to in a negociaiion would bo such as his honor allowed hi on to accept. The way and munner in which Napoleon has constantly evaded explain ing himself in this respect is no fortu nate omen. Yet, should his Imperial and Roval M jesty succeed in inducing Franca to stave such a basis, and milct it knowh to the King, and should they be not alto* gether hostile iq the end which his tVia ju.y has been ctuHavunug to auxin it* common wuh. his Allies, his Prussian majusty will eagerly accept the offer winch hi* imperial aiul Royal Apostolic uiajsaty has just nude.”
