Without intending any disparage
• meat to the useful and valuable pa

degree recommending this to public

It will be large, and will conse*
•uently contain not only a variety,
hut a considerable quantity of mat
ter-selected with care.
It will be publised at the SeSt Os
the University of this State; and
will derive from that circumstance
tome general interest and import
ance.
It will be published on Thursday
in evfcry week soon after the arrival
of the Northern and Southern Mails
at this place, and will contain a
summary of the latest
and most interesting news from the
Ndrth and South.
From a direct communication
thro* Greenville, S. C. & Buncombe
to Tennessee this paper will proba
bly derive the earliest intelligence
from Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio &
otbe r Northern and Western States
and Territories.
It will contain besides the com
mon Subjects of a newspaper, some
moral, religious and scientific mat
ter, which will be carefully selected
and made as far as possible subser
vient to the practice of Christianity
and to the pursuits of commpn life.
The more effectually to attain this
abject* we here beg leave respectful
ly to invite and solicit gentlemen of
science, who are friends to man
kind, and who would meliorate the
condition of human life* to favdr us
With their aid. Pieces on the vari
ous alluded to* whether ori
ginal or well selected, will be thank

sopher, the ingenious farmer and

or personal scurrility and abuse.
To those gentlemen who have be
nevolently forwarded,, by a liberal
advance, the publication of the Ga

der their grateful acknowledgements
—their future endeavors they trust,
will go to prove that this liberality
has not beeh wholly misplaced.

Continuation of Fteneh News from our
: last •
declaration*
The armies of the allied powers,
have pccupied the French Capital.—
The Allied Sovereigns meet the
wishes of the French nation.
They declare, that if the conditi
ons of peace required stronger guar
antees when the objects in view was
the restraining of Bonaparte's ambi- j
tion, they ought to be more favora- ]
ble, as soon as by returning to a
wise government, .France herself
shall offer the assuarnce of tranquili
ty. The Allied Sovereigns proclaim
therefore, 1
That they will treat no more with
Napoleon Bonaparte, or with any of
his family, *
That they respect the integrity of
ancient France, such as it existed
under her Legitimate Kings : they
may even do more, because they ai
rways profess the principle that for
the happiness of Europe, France
ought to be great and strong.
That they will recognize and gua
rantee the constitution which the
French nation shall giver itself. They
accordingly invite the Senate tn ap
point a Provisional Government, ca
pable ot providing for the wants of
administration, and of preparing
such a Constitution as may be ad*
apied tothe French people.
The intentions which J have ex
pressed are common to me with all
the Allied Powers.

Address of the Provisional Government
’ to the people •
“ PEOPLE OF FRANCE ,
*• When you came out of a state of
civil discord, you chose for your
Chief a man who appeared upon the
C Stage of the Universe with the char
acter of grandeur—you, placed in
him all your hopes. Those hopes
were vain. Upon the ruins of anar
chy he built only despotism*
“ He ought at least from gratitude
to become French with you. He ne
ver was. He never ceased to under
take, without motive and object, un
just Wars, like an adventurer who
would become famous* In a few
years he has devoured your wealth
and your population.
Every family is in mourning ,* all
France in tears, he is deaf to our mi
series. Even yet perhaps he dreams
of gigantic designs, t.ough unheard
of reverses punish so signally the
pride and abuse of victory.
u He never knew how to reign
either in the national interest nor
in the interest of his own des
potism. He has destroyed all ttiat
he ought to create, and re cieated
all that he ought to destroy. He
relied only upon force—force now
overwhelms him—just reward of
senseless ambition. I , ;
“At length’ this unexampled ty
ranny has ceased. The Allied Pow
ers have entered the capital of
•■France. 1
“Napoleon governed us like a
king of barbarians; Alexander,
‘ bis magnanimous allies, speak only
the lapguage of honour, justice and
humanity. They have just reconcil
ed Europe to a brave and unhappy
’ people.
People of Fiance, the senate has
declared that Napoleon has forfeited the
Tyrone. Ihe country is no longer
with him* Another order of things
can alone save We have known
‘ the excess of popular licentiousness

- real monarchy in limiting oy wise

\ order of nature be no whger inter

die before their children! Men of
jr France let us rally; past calamities
i are finished and peace will put an
k end to the subversion of Europe.—
The august allies have given their
word—France will rest from her
long agitation, and better enhgnten

despotism, will find happiness in
the return of a tutelary govern-’
ment.”
ACT OF THE PROVISIONAL GOV.

Paris, April 6.
H* M. the Emperor of Russia, as
■ soon as he was informed of the
j change in the French government,
produced by the Senate proposed,
in the 1 name of the allied powers to
Napoleon Bonaparte, to choose a
place of residence for himself and
family. The duke of Vicenza was
directed to carry this proposal to
him. It has been dictated chiefly
by the desire of the Allied Powers
to stop the effusion of blood, and
by the conviction, that if adopted
by Napoleon, the work of general
peace, and the re-establishment of
the internal repose of France would
be but the work of a day.
\ Paris, April 14.
<* Monsieur has received to-day at
3 in the evening the Senate and Le
gislative Body.
“ The Senate was presented to his
royal highness by the Prince of Be
nevento, its President, who said—
* Monseigneur—The Senate brings
to your Royal Highness the offering
of its most respectful submission.—
It has invited the, return of your au
gusV house to the Throne of France.
Too well instructed by the present
and the past, it desires, in common
with the nation, forever to found the
authority on a just division of power,
and on public liberty, which are the
only securities of the happiness and
liberty of all.
44 The Senate, in
the moments of p\lblic joy, obliged
to remain apparently more Calm in
the limits of its duties, is not less a
partaker in the universal sentiments
of the people. Your High
ness will read in our hearts through
the reserve of our language ; each’
of us as a Frenchman has joined in
those feelings and profound ‘emoti
ons which have accompanied you e
ves since your entry into the capi
tal of your ancestors, and which are
still more lively under the roof of
this palace, to which hope and joy
are at length returned with a descen
dant of St. Louis and Henry IV.
“ For myself, my Lord, allow me
to congratulate myself on being the
organ of the Senate, which has
charged me to be interpreter of its
sentiments to your Royal Highness.
The Senate, 'knowing my attachment
to its members, has been pleased to
reserve for me a delightful and ho
norable’ moment—The most delight
ful in fact are those in which we ap
proach your Royal Highness, to re
new to you the expressions of our
respect and our lovfe.*

44 His Royal Highness answered :
44 Gentlemen—l have acquainted
myself with the Constitutional Act,
which calls to the Throne of France 1
the King my august Brother. I
have not received from him the
power to accept the Constitution :
but I know his sentiments and hi> ,
principles;, and I do not fear to be
disavowed by him, when I assure
you in his name, that he will admi
the basis of it. Tbe King, in de
claring, that he will maintain the ac
tual form of Government, has thei
acknowledged, that the Monarch)
ought to be balanced by a repre
sentative Government, divided in
to two houses—these two Houses
[chambers] are the Senate and thi
House of Deputies of the Depart
ments; the taxes ahall be freelv
granted by the \ representatives x>t
the nation, public and private liberty
secured, the freedom of the pres>
respected, under the restrictions ne
cessary for public order and tranquil
ity ; the liberty of worship guatan
teed—that property shall be inviola
ble and satred, the ministers respon
sible, liable to be accused and prose
cuted by the representatives of the
Nation.
44 That the Judges shall be for life
the Judicial power independent ; no
one being liable to be tried by anoth
er than his natural Judges ; that the
public debt shall be guaranteed, the
pensions, dignities military honors,
shall be preserved, as well as the
new and the ancient nobility ; the
Legion of Honor maintained ; the
King will fix its insignia ; that every
Frenchman shall be capable of
military and civil employments ;
that no individual can be called to
account for his opinions and votes ;
and that the sale of national estate
shall be irrevocable.

to me the bases which are essential
