> -bnDAY, Apl-ilr. Dispatches have arrived from Bourdeaux, to gather w!th Bourdeaux papers of the 28th lilt. The Mayor of that city hid issued a very spirited and animating proclamation to the inhabitants, in .which he tints addresses them—u Bonaparte pro- mises you—anc! wha.t signifies what he promise? YOII, who never keeps any promises. He promised you a Republic, to conceal. his ambition—he took lor ten vears the title of Consul, to deceive you — he promised that his Consulship should be tor lite, and he made himself Emperor to enslave you." The Editor of the Bourdeaux paper has also the following 'passage upon the subject-of Bonaparte's restoration to the throne of France Never were peace, arid ine charms which accotbpany peace, less in Bo nap fe s p wer, This wretch can <jnfy iwe by war—war alone can give him some credit, and authoritv over, hissoldiers.

j SATO a pay, Aprils. Sir P. C. Durham has transmitted it letter trom Capt. i'leming, of the Bart>adoes sloop, stating the capture, on the 11 fh of January, of the Fox priva- teer, of seven guns and 12 men, out 12 days from Wilmington, without making any capture::—Ga- zette. I, LThc Gazette also announces the appointment of I Major-General Sir G. T. Walker, Lieutenant-Go- vernor of the.island of Grenada, iu the room of the laic Sir J Stuart.] i Paris papers to the 6th inst. have reached town. I l'hè expectations wiiich had been raised'from the ¡ continued stayoLtbe Dochpss d'Anyoideme at Bourdeaux, h ive been disappointed. The emissa- ries of the Usurper we re. as successful rn that city ■ as in other parts of France, and treason proved triumphant. The Duchess dVingotiJeme—that m. I teresting iin l amiable woman-acted throughout like a heroine. She went from barrack to bar-nek, 'from regiment to regimen1, to animate the regular troops. But when the crisis arrived, they refused to li ,;bt. She then dew to the volunteers. They I were passed iu review, and drawn up in order oi j battle on the quays. She placed- herself at the head of th»se men, and ordered them to fire on General CJausei's troops, But after One volley, they quarrelled among themselves, fired cm each oihe-r, and beingexciteù by emissaries of the enemy, they threatened her lite. The Duchess re tired. At eight o'clock in the, evening of the 1st inst. having first released her followers from their oaths to the BourboiiS, she lett Botirdeaux to ein- bark at Pouiliac, towards tiie motrth of the river. The next morning, at eleven, Gen;'Clause!, Cotm rnander of the forces which acknowledged the authority of Bonaparte, entered the city. Count Lynch, the Mayor, and other faithful parti?,,m- of the .King, had previously departed. To compensate fur the failure at Botirdeaux, the enemy himself' affords some information respecting the loyalists in the south, which, though scanty, encourages the belief that they are numerous, well organized, and acting in separate corps. An article from Grcnoble say-, that" armed men, calling -themselves the I National Guards of MarseiHt-s, have re-appeared in the Upper Alps." It is not con; f iled that the l partis-ins of the Usurper ale, compelled to -act o» the defenMV.e; and, to make bead against the loy- alists* it has bren found necessary to dispntch troops from Paris, under General Grouchy: the fact is thus announced Gen. Grouchy has set out with a corps for Lyons, to disperse the small number of insurgents who agitate the banks of the Rhone with gross lies/' tkr. The accounts from Marseilles are to the 27th, The entrance of-.Bonaparte,- whom they style the Alan of Blood of the Iron Island, into Paris, was known; but bad produced no diminution in the attachment of the people to the Bourbons. The white Bag itig from every window, and the I white cockade seen in every hat. The private accounts received yesterday from Paris, are-extremely desponding. War was consi- pretty certain, though where the finds tor carrying it on were to be obtained, no one couid tell. The monied people were; under great alarm at the measures that might be adopted in the ap- proaching crisis. The jacobin" ministry were not very obstquious to Bonaparte's views. Very soon after his return, he notified to them that he must have an army of 600,000 men, and money to the amount of 25,000 000 sterling. The ministers, a O' few days afterwards, waited on him in a body, to I nuke their report; they stated, that the present disposition of the nation rendered it unsafe to ven- ture to propose the sacrifices necessary to tnept his Majesty's wishes; and that they felt it to be their duty to recommend to his"Majesty measures iff con-- cilution with foreign powers, since the happiness and freedom of France could only be secured bv avoiding unnecessary' expenditure of the property -and population of the Empire. These opinions were scarcely uttered when Bonaparte expressed his distpprohation in his usual coarse and frantic manner, and leaving them abruptly, ordered his carriage, and drove to Fontainbleau, to hide bis chagrin. The French funds fall rapidly. Frankfort papers to the 2d, and Brussels to-the 6th inst, have beetv received; HIs Grace the Duke of Wellington entered Brussels on the 5th inst. An article from Geneva. affords a most satisfactory confirmation of the insurrection. in the South of I -ranee.. Mootpellier, Wismes, Marseilles, and Avignon, bad united their efforts against the Usur- per. The Royalists had formeda camp near the Duranee; and their corps baddisartned some re- giments of the line, and shut lip others. These papers contain -numerous no: Iccsof the assemblage and march of the troops of the Allied Powers to- wards Belgium, the Rhine, Switzerland, &c.. It is expected that the French military will not long refrain from some aggression. One of the'r recon- noissaiices was recently pushed ON the side of the Fumes, and did not retire until a flag of truce had been dispatched to the Commandant. The private advices trom Brussels, concur in representing a stronger feelulg of enthusiasm as P'TVitdmg lie against the cause of the Usurper, rhan Irorn appearances had at fifst beeu bupett His Majesty l.ms ordered, by a Decree of April 1st, the levy of 25,000 milina-in Belgium, by voluntary enrolment. Phis militia is- tb be per- manent, and in time of peace a 5th is to go out every year, and be replaced by new levies. The soldiers to be 18 to 35 years of age.

MONDAY', April 10. On Snnlay morning a French Courier arrived with dispatches from Bonaparte, at the house of Lord Castlereago, who was called out of bed at five o'clock to receive them The Messenger had not been stopped at the port whe.re he landed, and thos the dispatch reached the hands of the Mi-, nister. It contained -a dispatch also to the Comte de la Chustre, Minister of Louis XVIII. recalling him to.France, or at least, depriving him of all au- thority to act for thai kingdom. Ir contained also a letter to M; de Itayneval, the Consul-General-of who Mission to the King but ihe packet was opened, audcoIJhilled the confirmation of all the Consuls now m Great Britain and Ireland, with instructions that they are to attend only to commercial affairs, 0 fl and also it Itayneval Cbarge-des- Aftnirs. The di.-patches are signed by Caulincourt, and contain new overtures Jrom the ituler of Frauce. Report states them to be ot a most moderate and conciliatory character. The Paris papers of -Friday last, which arrived this morning, do not contain a paragraph wiiich is at variance with the pacific proposals received yes- terday by Ministers.. Bonaparte is now .employing every art to efface the recollection of bis former, despotism, and of his former miscarriages. The latter he ascribes to the treasonable practices of some of his Generals alJ(f fflrmer !\finisters. A dccrtc, dated Lyons, the 12th of March, hll,) jnst been published, granting a General Amnesty, taaii hut certain persons. He professes to pardon every offence, whether- by- -writing or act, of which he was tile personal object; be only reserves his vcngeancc against those who betrayed the Country to Fo- reigners. from the General Amnesty be excepts those persons alone who had taken an active put in the events which immediately followed the en- trance of the Allies into Paris. ".Thus, he artfully professes, not to revenge his own injuries,but those of I-ranee; and, whilst he 'tin sparingly persecutes those who negotiated with Ail-ics, It(! os'elita- t'ously distinguishes the persons who nVost point- edly exposed, the period of hi a exile, the acts of his former Government. Several Members I of the Chamber ot Deputies, who were in this pre- dicament, a.ud several, political writers,\p,tnicu!ar!y BenjAmiu Constant, have receive i irom him the r Boi Prince Tallevraod, Count .fancouri, Duke of Dablerg, Count"Bo-ur- ..nomrilie, and Abbe Montcquinu, who formed the Provisional Government,are excluded frotn pardon. Marshal Marmont, for liaving concluded a conven- I tion with the Allie's, Count Lynch, the (;: Bourdeau*, are likewise excluded from grace. BourieiMie, wh« acted as Secretary to the f't.ni sional Government, :s also outlawed,, and three of lour more, for having excited insurrections,or held communications with the mvadingiforce. Bonap.irte completes this specious m tgdauimity by tiie ap- pointment of a com Kin to draw up the outlines of-a liberal constitution. til-,Lt the ix>ya!ists or the south are siiil strong and confident both in spirits and-dti numbers. An article dated I Lyons, oi) the 4th, ill the Moiiiteur, states that the .iViar^eiboi-s,- under the Duke d'Augouiorne and •General Lrnout, keep the departments of the-Alps upon the alert, ;i,nd spread alarm almost to ihe gates of Lyons. Gen. Emouf a-ivanced .upon Sys- teron wnii 1500 Mar^eillois and two regiments ot teron wnii 1500 Mar^eillois and two regiments ot the line. The latter turned traitors, and the former arc said to have retired. Meanwhile another-body ot Marseiilois of etj.uaI force, with the 10 h re<*T- meni: of infantry, headed by the Duke d'Angon- leme, marched upon Montelemart. An e-ug"ge- men; took place, in which they 'had a few killed1 and wounded, when a battalion of t-he-10th, passin" the bridge, hoisted the tri-coloured cockade. The Moniteur adds, that the insurrection in the south is more in words than deeds:" yet, it acknowledges that to quell this mere war of words, General Grouchy has sent off regular troops and national guards from Lyons. Another column is from j Grenoble, and detachments from other parts. Grouchy himself Ins set offtrom LyoPj) to take the command ol the noop*. The Duke de Bourbon ha! not vet quitted Frunee, but was the Duke de Angon- ieme, 0 The following is an extract of a letter frorn Rouen, dated the 3d instant, at seven A.

Tt?ESDi-Y,-April ih The Paris paper!! of Saturday last are reu;ived. Bonaparte has issued a Decree ordering the laws of the National Assemblies to be applied to the fundy of the Bourbons. Such as are found upon the French territory are to be tried for their lives —All their civil and military agents in the south- ern and western departments are denounced. There is no new intelligence from the South of I France, but as Suchet liai been ordered thither, it would teetH that the Royalists are gaining ground, ¡ The Frankfort papers td 4th contain a Pro- clamation by the Diet ot Switzerland, addressed to all the Confederates. It is dated Zurich, March 24, and states the necessity of assuming a respect- able military attitude, 111 consequence of the re- cent. occurrences in France. The Diet has 011 that ground ordered the whole contingent of the Con- federation to be armed. Marshal Blncher is arrived at LuxelTlburgh, which is to be the grand Prussian head-quarters. Lord W. Bentinck h is taken the command ot the garrison at Genoa.. Therct are private letters in towe from America, of the 15 h uit, which advise that a serious action ha.d taken place between the British and the Ame- rican troops at Mobile, The loru.er attacked the fortress, which was well defended, but at length they obtained possessiuo ;—great loss was sus- tallied, according to this account, on both sides. On Thursday last the American prisoners at Dartmoor became most outrageous-, and endea- voured to breakout of prison ill a body; the mili- tary were at last obliged "to fire on thelll, by which six were killed, and about 30 wounded, before order was restored. This conduct on the part of prisoners is stilted tu have arisen by being kept in prison so long after the ratification of the treaty of peace; vessels not been provided by the American Government to carry them home, and the prisoners having an idea that, they are i.iten- tionally deiained in order to man soi"fc American ships of war expected to arrive acre ou their passage to the Mediterranean,, to Act against the Algefmes.

The- Bill respecting defective measures was read a-t-htrd time and passed. Mr. YVnubread moved for certain papers con- nected with the late negotiations at Vienna, ti) Ai Address which had previously j he.en voted nv the House to the -Regent, on that subject;, he Uspreiore came forward to complain ol an inadequate-return. The address alluded to was then read by the; Clerk. ,1 ) Lord castlcreagh said it was impossible to give the details: the choicS of the matterscommuicated was left to the Crown. The Address stated that such information should .be given as might be given -without' prejudice. No transfers agreed to at Congress could be considered complete till the whole was ratified. ,COM.«tfT«K OF SUFPJ.y. On the Chanctdiur of the Exchequer's motion, the army extraordinaries' were referred to this ) On the Chanctdiur of the Exchequer's motion, tlif" it.r,i,iiy were to this Cotntniaee. Iii the Committee he stated that the excess was-not so great 111 point of fact as it might at first appear. The .'total-of hills drawn in 1813 was I7,7l.H),800l. of which, 2,4j0,()0ui. went to the i ordinary services, so that tiie actual amount for extraordinaries was about 15300,0001. In -1814, the amount'"was--about'- 21,0tK>;G00i. but nearly 5,000,0001. were paid lor other br.nche.s of serv ice, leaving 1.5,9301, .lor extrabrdfnarius. The excess over the preceding .year was therefore only about 600,000L -.The.actual 'expenditure was more than the sum voted; but less than the estimate. It amounted to- 3,298,0001. which included all pur- chases of stores, 'ihe amount ol ex/raordinaries paid since last year was about 2,00,000l. iu S months, after deducting certain items. The whole issue was 4,100,0001. of which 900,0001. went for what were not properly army extraordinaries.— After other remarks, the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer concluded, by moving for the sum of *>82,3321."9s. 8|d. lor extraordinary expellees of the ..rmy, incurred for the year 1814. Mr. Tierney desired the House to look at -the ac- xonu;j> ol tne Co).ii<.iiis&ariat, and if tbev. were dis- pose to d >ju-tne to the. country, to say -whether. punish uent ought not to follow such downright peculation. I r. thellonse would be guilty of the greatest breach of duty to.the country, if they did not insist upon enquiry. Thirty or forty mil- lions' had'been expended on the war 111 the Penin- rt diinotinsistupon enquiry. Thirty or forty mil- file wdr itt sula, and those with whom the Commissaries- had treated were the most ignorant "persons in Sp liin. ./They .had been paid by the drafts of the Deputy Commissaries on the Commissaries at Lisbon but ¡ when they' got these bits of paper,. they attached no value So t'hern, and some persons in the Com- rnissariat suit bought, them up. If a -.coromittce was appointed,, be wonbj bring persons before them, some of whom resided in London, who had ntade from 50 to per cent on that paper,.(hear hear). In other parts of En rape, paper had never been at a lower discount than '«5 to 3d per cent, but in the Peuinsuia it .was ai The whole weight of the great expenditure ui that quarter Ilrose from a false system of conducting the CYIn- rnissariat. I The Chancellor of the Exchequer would not dis- agree to such a Committee,, if he thought they could proceed with the same advantage as the I Committee now appointed to examine into the accounts on the spot where the transactions looK place. Lord Castlereagh in reply to some questions by Capt, Bennet, said, he was sensible that several of the items which had been noticed by the Hon. Gent, appeared to be very large, and he wished to give as full an explanation as possible. Military officers who acted in a double capacity of diplo- matists and officers in the army, received their pay according to their rank in the army and Irom the civil list and in the case of officers, they were often liable to a loss of 40 per cent, from the differ- ence of exchange, by which their income was reduced to a le,g than one half of what stood in their name. The sum against Lord Srewari's name waS upwards of .12,0001. -and' what be received was not more than somewhat above 5,0001. A vely lavish expenditure of money has been incurred by Lord Stewart in jour/iies from one army to the other, iu which duty he had Col. Lowe and another officer as assistants, and from his own knowledge, he could assure the House, (hat Lord Stewart had been a loser by his appointments. Trie expences of Embassadors in the field were more than double what they were at the Courts at which they re- sided, He knew, from experience, that the ex- pences of Ambassadors at Vienna were -almost inconceivable. With respect 'to Lord Burghersh, he was to be allowed 1,0001. net; arid li'is extraor- dinary expences weie wwing to the loss incurred by ike exchange. I Lord Proby said, dur.ingthe period of 19 years which he had passed in the army, all the officers tie had ever conversed with, agrefdthatthe sys- tem of the Commissariat-was most profuse. Mr. Gordon objected to several charges mads by officers in the na.vy for conveyance of passen- gers 011 board their several ships. He would not object to an Ambassador being liberally paid, but could see no reason for so many Ambassadors, and he thought our funr Ambassadors had no right to sign the DecLra.tion of the Allies. 0 Lord Castlereagh said we had only one Ambas- at the Congress, who was Lord Clancarty, tc* wlwtUrhe country was highly indebted for hj» active and eminent services in Holland. The other Ambassador were attendant OIl their duty with the several Sovereigns to whose courts they had been .ippuinted, but who were now at Vienna, and their signatures gave additional, weight and dignity to ihe declaration. I Mr. Croker said, that an Hon. Gent, having at- luded to the regulation respecting the conveyance of passengers in ships of war, he felt it necessary tostiite to the house, that in 131-2. a scale was drawn up by the Board of Admiralty, fixing that rate; and by a reference t» the table placed con- spicuously iii various parts of the Admiralty, that circumstance would be explained. Mr.-Baring and Mr. B vukes urged the necessity of appointing acommittee up stairs, for the purpose of examining into the causes ot the enurmous ex- panditure of the couusmsariat department gene- rally. Mr. Tierney could see no ground for coming to- so large a vote at present, unless the Right lion,. Gent, thought as the house had just voied 2 ^mil- lions,. they were now in wind fur voting six millions more. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said, that the house had not voted '2\ millions, but l millions. He had no objection, however, tobke three mil- lions now on account of the army extraordinaries, and to postpone the other three millions until ths account was prcsented. The resolution was then put for granting three millions on account of army extraordiirariesj anq the report was ordered to be received to-morrow. The other orders were then disposed of.
