Divine providence, which recal led us to the throne of our ances tors permits to-day, that this throne ihould be fnaken by a part of the armed force who had sworn to de fend it; we might profit bv the faithful and partioric difpofitiorft of an immense majority of the inhab itants of Paris, to dispute their en trance ; but we shudder at the mis eries of all kinds to which a battle within its walls would expose the inhabitants. We will retire with feme brave men whom intrigue and perfidy have not been able to detach from their duties ; and becaule we can not defend our capital, we will go farther off to rally our forces and to find not fubjetts more loving & faithful than our Parisians, but Frenchmen more advantageoufiy situated to declare for the good cause. The crisis, in which we find our selves -for the moment will fubfniej we have the heart consoling pre sentment, that the soldiers who have been seduced, whose defec tion gives up our fubjedlsfo so ma ny dangers, will not be flow in ac knowledging their errors, and they {hall find, in our indulgence and in our goodrtefs the recomp cafe of their return. We will soon come back in the mid It of th efe good people, to whom we fhali reltore peace and bappincefs once more. From tilde canfes, we have de clared and do declare, ordained & do ordain as follows: Art. 1.

Considering, that the Houle of Lords in parr composed of per Ion: who have borne arms against and who have an interest in the re eftabUfhment of feudal rights, in the destruction of equality a : inong the different clafils, in an ; nuling the Tales of the national i property, and finally to rob the ! people of the rights acquired by j them in twenty five years of hard fighting against the enemies of the national glory. Considering that the powers of the deputies to the leglflarive body had expired, and therefore that the house of commons has no lon ger a national character ; that a part of this house has rendered ir felf unworthy of the confidence of the nation in adhering to the re eftablilhment of the feudal nobility, nbolifned by the constitutions ac cepted by the people; in making France pay debts contracted in foreign countries to form coalitions and pay armies to fight against the French people; in giving to the Bourbons the title of legitimate king, which amounted to declaim ing as rebels jthe French people & the armies; in proclaiming as the only good Frenchmen the emi grants who during 25 years have torn the bosom of their country, and violated all the rights of the people in consecrating the princi ple that the nation was made for the throne, and not the throne for the nation. “We have decreed and do decree as foilow’s: Art. 1.

Yesterday afternoon arrived at this port the sass failing private arm ed brig Scourge, C. W. Wooffer, Esq commander, in 29 days from L’Orient. Gant, W. left L’Orient on the 4t.h of April, and has politely fa vored the editors of the Mercantile Ad vernier with the following verbal intelligence “ Ail rite Army have declared for Napoleon and fine unanimous for his cause. All the officers and soldiers on furlough are called into fervid*. 44 The Emperor has issued a de cree abo Hiking the African Slave Dade. He appears to be much inclined for peace with all nations, and lavs he Las no dr fire to extend the boundaries of France, ft is however, the general opinion that war with England will soon take place. England is fitting out all her men of war. 44 In consequence of the hostile disposition of the citizens of Bor deaux towards the Emperor, all communications are cut off from that place to Paris and elsewhere, General Clauzd is marching to Bordeaux with an army of 25,000 men, and no doubt the inhabitants of that place will soon submit. 44 Accounts were received at L’- Orient from Paris on the 2d April, dating that a General Embargo was to take place on all the (hip ping in the French ports.” Friar W K conciled. It will be recollected by ourtea deis, that in Ronapartes proclama tion, published on his landing, and alfignkig his real ms for abandoning the throne of France, that he at tributes his misfortunes to the trea chery of Augereau , the Duke of Caftiglione, in delivering up Lyons without any defence ; and to that Marmont , Duke of Ragufa, in sur rendering Paris Marmont {fill adheres to the King, and the late English papers a dirt that Augereau does likewise; we find, however, in the rioniteur of the 7th March, the following proclomatjon of the latter ; from which it appears, that though he betrayed Lyons as as serted by Napoleon, he is now as glad to receive him back as he was to get rid of him before.—Transla tor. 44 Soldiers —you have heard it. The cry of your brethren in arms has reached even to you; it has made our hearts leap with joy.— The emperor is in his capital. 4 ’ This name, so long the pledge of victoiy, has fufficed to dissipate all his enemies before him. For a moment fortune was unfaithful to him : seduced by the molt noble iilufion (the happiuefs of the coun try,) he thought that he ought to make to France, the facrifice of his glory and his crown. 44 Let! astray by such magnanim ity, we then took an oath to de fend other rights than his. 44 His rights are imprescriptible. He reclaims .them to clay : never were they morefacred to us. 44 Soldiers, during his long ab sence you look in vain upon your white flags, for any honorable re collections ; cast your eyes upon the Emperor; on his fide his im mortal Eagles lliine forth with new luff re. 44 Let us rally under their wings. Yes they alone conduct to honor and victory. Let us hoiit then the colours of the nation. The Marshal of the Empire. AUGEREAU, Duke of Caftiglione.

And the man who is predeflinated by heaven, as the Ruffian monarch has said, is now proscribed as an Outlaw by him and his confederated horde of Kingly Banditti. Whence this outrage upon humanity and the rights of nations l It proceeds from that lerviie, narrow minded princi ple which sickens at the glory of another, and drives to prollrate that reputation which it cannot reach Bonaparte’s re affenfior; to the throne is the choice ot the trench people. And by what au thority care Rufiia, England, or a ny other power on earth interfere with the interior regulations of France. Deeply fiiall we lament the torrents of blood that will flow on the occasion, if the Allied SovL ereigns perfiff in their Declaration proscribing Bonaparte The con vuifion will reck Europe to its cen tre—-and ’ere again a Bourbon reaches the throne, he will have to “ wade thro’ the blood of flaugfi. tered millions.” Then [vehemently exclaims the Editor of the Richmond Enquirer} 44 ftiflcn thy sinews,” thou man of iron!“ Summon up all thy blood;’* drain thy energies to the utmoftV pitch ; for this is the iaft calF of thy fortunes. A Kingdom or a grave awaits thee Thy enemies now third for thy blood.
