Extract of a letter from Parish received by the French National brig Oliver. 4 ‘ You will have heard of the” won derful changes which have .taken place here—nor will your aston ishment be diminished by knotting the grand result has been, in degree, the effect of.accident. _ Napoleon had made an attemto to carry the position *t Bar sur Apbe. which was'occupied by the main ar my of the allies, in this attempt he failed. His next endeavor Bus to turn this position and attack tpeir magazines—arid if they pursued, to fall back on his fortified places—re inforce his army with these garri sons and then give another general battle i Marshal Marmont, in’ the mean time. covering and defend ing Paris., He had marched near ly a whole day in prosecution of Jthis design. Some hesitation fol lowed on their part, and more alarm, when, as report says Alexander sug gested an immediate march upon Paris. ’ The idea Weis adopted and executed—and. on the 30ih March, a battle was fought which decided the fate of the city and the war. ‘-Marmont commanded on or.e side and Swartzenburg on the other. ‘The firing began ‘at four o’clock in the moaning and ended about the same hour in the afternoon, when Marmont entered into a convention to evacuate the city, and carry with him his troops, baggage, artilleiy, j &c. No capitulation was made for the city, either by Marmont or oth ers— but all possible care taken to preserve it. ,/fhis battle Was fought with great obstinacy on both ‘sides, and with great loss to the al lies. as they were obliged to carry many strong places by assault, it is a most extraordinary fact, that Bonaparte was for four days igno rant of the movement of the allies from Bar Sur Aube to Paris. This lost time he endeavored to retriever by forced marches, and had actually reached Fouptainbleau when the al lies had carried the capital. H Mar mont had been able to hold Paris, as he believed he was, for four days Or even two, Bonaparte worild have been upon the rear of the allies— and no doubt, still Emperor. The i events which followed the capture of the city; made his continuance as ] such impossible. On the 21st, the ! emperor of Russia, King of Prussia, ; &c. entered Pans. The former rode j direct to Talfeyrand’s Hotel; where remains with his minister Count ifesselrode: On the evening of the same day Tajleyrand convened the Senate* A act, as called here, was drawn up, and a* provisional government declared— consisting of Talleyrand, Janecourt, Mantesquieu,'and* Dalberg. At a Subsequent session, Napoieon wus deposed, on the ground of his hav ing violated the constitution, and the army and nation invited lb unite in approving the act. Sc ( so on as these acts of the Senate were made known to the array, corps after cor. s declared against the Emperor, un til he was actually left without oth er troops than the old guards, and a few general officers. He then abdicated in favor of the King of : Rome his son—but the abdica tion in that form was not accepted, j He now negociatedior his own safei ; ty and mamtainance—and m doing s6, has become contemptible to all parties. The constitutional act, mentioned above, of which the enclosed is a co py, was adopted by the Senate, tic is the basis of the restoration of the Bourbons. If Louis’ accepts and ad heres honestly and fuilj? all will 0e well—that is all will be quiet. Une does pot accept too* out for more storms. The emperor ot Russia and hi£ arrtfy wifi not leave h ranee tpf tins business is settled, nor, perhaps, till he sees the army of Lord Wel lington out of France.

It is hot yet known who will have the romantic generosity* to accompany him. He reads looming ihe Paris newspapers, blames’ or approves the acts of the new government, and if any thing dis pleases him so much, breaks out into a furioiis storm of passion. He says that when be arrives in the island of Elba, he intends to be very busy— to write his own life—to dr vclope circumstances arid incidents known to himself only—tana to characterise the great men of the present age.
