This message was referred to a committee of Lven. The Minister of the Interior (Fouche) afeended the tribune, and *in the name of the Minister of War, communicated, in substance, che following: t That the Duke of Dalmatia has xallyed 2000 of the old Guard at Rocrio ; that 3000 rallied near Meziers; that Marshal Grodchy has beat Blucher at one point, and has passed the Sambre, and made THE FRIEND AND MONITOR. ■ “ A wit s a feather and a Chiefs a rod, An honelt man’s the Noblest work of God.’* PUBLISHED (weekly) BY JOHN K.

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.

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. Communicated. [,Remark Ship Cora arrived at Bolton /poke H. B.

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.

VlS*’ 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 [Payable half yearly. of Charleroy, which is a strong defended position on the. lipe of the Sambre. Some part of the melancholy .roll of the killed, wounded and nufliffg may be expe&ed to be given in the Gazette of this evening, tor we 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 ed are. doing well. Great efforts are making to fend out reinforce ments. A further draft was made yesterday from the life guards. she 27th loft, in killed and wounded, 41 officers out of 44.
