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. ALEXANDER. 1 By order of his Imperial Majesty, The Secretary of Senate, COUNT de NESSELDORE* Paris, March 31, 1814, at three o’clock in the afternoon* ./■ Paris, April 16. 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.

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 ed by the double proof of anarchy and despotism, will find happiness in the return of a tutelary govern-’ ment.” ACT OF THE PROVISIONAL GOV. ERNMENT. The Provisional Government hear v ing with grief that obstacles have been made to the return of the Pope to the territories, and deploring that conti nuance of insult which has so long overwhelmed the courageous Head I whom the Church demands, orders that every obstacle cease immediate ly, and that all due honors be paid to him pn his journey. The civil and Military authorities are charged with the execution of the present decree. Given at Paris, April 2, 1114. Signed Prince of Bencvento, Duke of Alberg.

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.* Fne following is the Decree of the Senate# v , * Extract from the Journals of the Senate . ’ ‘ .> J* “. -J* ‘’V * y*-;. ! v ‘'Thursday , April 14. c The Senate deliberating on the proposal of the Provision!!
