matia. In short 60.000 men co
vered the entire frontier of the
north. We can yet fend 10,000
men, and colled with those at Pa
ris, 200 pieces of cannon.
Marshal Ney protested with
great energy againit this letter;
and declared it to be wholly falfe.
“ Under these circumstances,”
exclaimed the marshal, “ truth is
due to the nation.—There are not
60,000 men on the frontier of the
north The enemy can pals it e
very where. The Duke of Dal
matia and Marshal Grouchy cannot
rally, at mod, 25,000 men. If
marshal Grouchy hadbeen unhurt
on the 18th, he would have made a
movement to the left. What is
said in *the letter upon the rallying
of the old guard is alio falfe It
was I who cam . nanded it under the
Lrnperor, and I know what is left
of it. lhe enemy-can entei Paris
in 6or 7 days, ihe only way
you have to provide tor the public
fafety, is to make proportions to
the enemy.”
Avery desultory debate enlued,
on a variety of proportions relating
to the exigency of thd times.—
The fittings were adjourned from
time to time, day anp night.
Prince Lucien- made a propor
tion to proclaim Napoleon 11. em
peror ol France. Ihe proportion
occasioned a lively debate, but no
queitiun was taken upon it.
At half pad 3 o’clock, a meflage
was received from the Represen
tative:, covering their relolutions
lor the appointment of a Provision
al government.
The Peers then proceeded to the
choice of two membeis, on its part,
to form the Provisional Govern
ment.
Ihe Duke of Vicence and the
Baron Quinette were chosen on the
part of the Peers. The Duke of
Otranto, Count Carnot, and Gen.
Grenier were chosen by the Repre
sentatives.
It was not known at Marseilles,
whencapt. Wyer failed (30th June)
whether the principles contained in
the abdication of the emperor Na
poleon would be accepted.
We learn, that as soon as the de
feat of Bonaparte was known at
Marseilles, and before the news of
his abdication had reached there)
the white flag was hoisted at that
place, 25th June, and the populace
rose upon a body of troops, about
1500, stationed there, when a dread
ful massacre ensued, many being
killed on both tides j and the fray
had not wholly subsided when the
Abadino failed. The adjacent
country was in a similar state of tu
mult—and indeed all France was
in a state of the greatest ferment.

This account attributes the failure
to a too haity movement of the re

The parks of reserve ; the baggage
that had not repafled the Sambre,
and every thing that was on the
field of battle, fell into the hands of
the enemy. It was impoflible to
wait for the troops ou our right;
every one knows, what the bravest
army in the world becomes, when
it is thrown into confufion, and
when all organization is at an end.
Jhe artillery as usual, covered

From the London Statesman, June 24.
Further dispatches were receiv*
ed yesterday from the duke of
Wellington, dated Binche, June
20, to which place his grace had
removed his head quarters after
his visit to Brussels on the preced
ing day.— Binche is about 30 miles
from Bruffcls, and about half that
way in advance of the field of bat
tle. This movement on the part of
the British was doubtless necessary
to Blucher’s army, who are said to
have continued the pursuit of the
enemy beyond the frontier. The
Pruflian chief is said to have enter
ed France, in the dirt&ion ol V.eau*
mont, with the view of endeavor
ing to get round the French iir.e
of retreat, and cutting off his re
maining force. It does not appear
to us that the French have yet been
compelled to give up the posstdlien

Some part of the melancholy .roll

hear the regimental returns have
been received. It is flared that the
number of officers loft exceed
1100. It is confuting, however,
to learn, that many of the wound
