Letter from the minister of war to
the duke of Wellington.
Head Quarte KS,Vilette y June 3o;
My Lord —Your hostile move
ments continue, aitho, according
tothe declarations of the allied fo
verclgns, the causes of war no
longer .exjft, since the emperor
Napolepn has abdicated his pov/er.
At the moment when blood is a
gai,n to be flied, I have received
from the marshal Albufera a tele
graphic defpatch, of which I lend
you a copy. My lord, I guarantee
Upon my honor this armistice—all
the reasons which you could have
to Continue hoftilites at an end,
since you can have no other iriftruc
tions from your government than
thole which the Austrian generals
Had from theirs.
I make your lord(hip a second
demand to cease hoftitiries imme
diately, and to conclude an armis
tice—to wait the decision of the
emperors. I cannot believe my
lord, that my demand will be with
out effeft; you will take upon your
t ‘ ‘
felf s great i;efponfibility in the eyes -
of your noble coadjutors.
No other motive than to prevent
the effufion of bldod and the inter
est of my country, has dictated
this letter.
If I appear on the field of battle,
I {hall carry thither the conviction
of contending for the nobielt of
causes, the honor and independence
of my country ; and that whatever
may be the result, I shall merit
your esteem. Accept, I pray you, i
my lord. &c. &c.

Our Bordeau papers, which are

the 2d. i heir contents are of an
interetting nature—most of them
are official..
Bonaparte left Paris at 4 o’clock
cn the 29th of June, to proceed to
Cherbourg or Rochefort, (lor the
accounts in the Paris papers are
very contradictory)’ where he was
to embark for this country. JL he
provisional government lay that
they con lid er him in conlequence
of nis abdication, as placed under
the lateguard of French honor.-
They applied to the Duke of Wel
lington for a paftport to permit him
to proceed, unmolested, to the li
nked States. This passport Wei
lington refufed to grant. Bona
parte requested two frigates to be
put at his disposal, to bring him and
his friends to this country, which
request was readily granted by the
provisional government. ‘ .
He Itui remained in Paris until
the 29th, when the allies approach
ing near the city, his friends be
comings alarmed tor his fafetv,
battened him away. The follow
ing perlons accompany him. Gen.

l'he application to the duke of
Wellington for a pallport probably
gave rile to the report in London
that Bonaparte had given himfelf
up to Wellington'. ‘ .
The plenipotentiaries who had
been deipatched to.freat for a sus
pension of hostilities, with Wei
lington, had repaired to the head- ;
quarters of that general, and the
result of their million was not defin- j
itfvely known on the 28th of June.
But the allied armies in the mean
time continued to advance, and on
the 29th of June had arrived with
in fight of the capital. Davouft,
Minister of War, had aflumed the
command of the French army, the ;
whole of which had on the 29th
s retreated to the lines about Paris.
Verlailles, the royal refidence* ten
miles from Paris, had been entered
by the allies, and conflicts of small
parties in the vicinity of the capital
were taking’ place every day.—
Whether any general aCtion preced- .
ed the capitulation of the city,
which took place on the fourth of
July, we are not informed.
