« Louis by the grace of God, King of
France and Navarre.
« Recalled by the love of our people to

the misfortunes of the nation which we are
destined to govern, our first” thought is to
invoke that mutual confidence so necessary
to our repose and their happmess.
« After having read with attention the
plan of the constiution proposed by the sen-
ate, in the sitting of the 6th of April lest
we have recognized that the basis were
good, but that a great number of articles
bearing the marks of the precipitation with
which they have been drawn up ; cannot in
their present form, become fundamental
laws of the state.
« Resolved to adopt a liberal constitution
we should be wisely combined, and not be«
ing able to accept one which itis indispensa-
bly necessary to correct, we canvoke for the
10th of June of the present year the senate
and legislative body, engageing to lay before
tham the result of our labors, with a com-
mission chosen from these two bodies, and
to that constitution the following guarran-

The four commissioners who accompanicd
him of the allied powers, were M. Souwa-

eral supposcd to be an Austaian one Four
officers of his Household, among whom was
his baker, formed part of his suit. Few of
the military departed with him. : and even
those who did, will it is said, leave him
when he embarks.
The following are nearly the words which
he addressed, on setting off, tc the officer
and subalterns of the old guard, who were
still with him :
«I bid you farewell. During the
twenty years we have acted together, I have

powers of Europe have armed against me ;
a part of my generals haye betrayed their
duty ; France herself has betrayed it.
With your assistance and that of the
brave men who remained faithful to me, 1
have for three years preserved I'rance from
civil war.
Be faithful to the new king whom France
has chosen, be obedient to your commanders
and do not abandon your dear country,
which too long has suffered. Pity not my
fate ; I shall be happy when I know you
are solikewise. =
I might have died ; nothing would have
been more easy for me ; but I still wish to
pursue the path of glory. What we have
done I will write

Let the Eagle be brought to me that I
may embrace it also.
said) Ah, dear Eagle, may the kisses which
I have bestowed on you resound to poster-
ity ! Adieu, my children, adieu, my brave
companions | Once more encompass me.”
Then the staff always accompanied by
the four commissioners of the Allied pow-
ers, formed around him.
Bonaparte now got into the carriage. A¢
that moment he could not hide his confusi-
on, and dropped some tears. In going he
called for Constant, his first valet de cham-
bre ; but the latter concealed himself, pro.
bably in order that he might not have to fol-
low Bonaparte, though he had on the prece.
ding day received from him present of 50°
000 franks.
Bonaparte demanded 200 pieces of Cannon
to fortify ius isle, and an Enslish frigate to
protect him from the danger of the corsairs.
This was refused him. He had demanded
one hundred and sixty waggons to carry
them.
BONAPARTE.
Frejus, April 28.—It appears that Bo-
naparte has been greatly alarmed at the dif-
ferent scenes which the indignation of the
inhabitants of the South has caused him to
experience in many places. !
On quitting Orgon, where he considered
himself as lost, he took the resolution of
changing his carviage, his name and dress,

impossible to discover him.” Besides this
he had a Jong white beard, his eyes sunk,
and a disturbed air ; he was himself anxi-
ous to depart ; he was himscit anxious to
depart ; he'wished to make but one leap
from the carriage to the frigate which was
to transport them to the isle of Elba. He

Paris, May 7.
A private letter from Avignon, dated 30th
ult. contains a fact which deserves to be ad-
ded to the particulars already published
respecting Bonaparte’s journey. Alarmed
at the danger in which he was incessantly
involved, he assumed the disguise we men-
tioned yesterday—but it was necessary to
take further precautions. He would not
remain in the carriage, and yet he could not
be supposed to be absent from the party —
He therefore conceived the idea of disguis,
ing one of his attendants, named Vernet,
who consented to take his place in the carri-
age, where he quietly heard all the impre-
cations intended for his master, poured forth
against himself, and fortunately “escaped
with insults and curses.
A person trom the south who saw Bona-
parte’s escort changing horses, relates that
it was a truly frightiul spectacle. The pop-
ulace crowded round his « arsiage, and giv-
ing way to teclings of hatred and revenge
alone abused him in the grossest terms, and
would haveseized bis person: The armed
force itself was not able to keep back the
multitude. At length one of the foreign
generals who accompanied him, harrangu-
ed them and said, « It was much better to
Jet the tyrant live, because a single death
would deliver him at once, whereas he must
suffer a thousand from the recollection of
crimes,” &c. &c. Meanwhile the horses
were put to, and the carriage started. Bo,
naparte finding himself extricated from this
new danger, turned to the general and
said to him, General I thank you; I heard
what you said ; you spoke like an angel.’

London, April 25.
Connected with tie question of pe. c. with
America, we may notice that a memorial
has been presented to Lord Liverpooly
which was favorably received, the object of
whichis to prevent the Americans from
conducting the fishing trade as heretofore
on the coast of Newfoundland and else-
where, It is said to be the intention of go-

American plenipoter ndiarics untii wc hos-
tages in the United States are set at Liber
ty, and this is the cause assigned that no
nomination has yet be 'n made of pub.ic a-
gents to meet Mr. Bayard and his colleague
at (xottenburg.
Lord Gambier and Mr. Hamilton have
it is said, been apponied eommissioners to
mect the American commissioners, and
that they are invested with full powers to
negociate a treaty with the United states.
It sbelieved however, that they have in
structions with regard to the line of boun-
dary between the United States and Cana-
da, which may make it necessary for the
American commissioners to refer to their
government for fresh instructions.
At the beginning of the last month, the
messenger bearing despatches to the Aroc-
rican minister, Mr. John Q. Adams, arri-
ved at Petersburg, and that gentieman was
preparing to proceed to Gottenburg to un-
derwake his new functions as plenipotentia-
ry for the restoration of peace with Great
Britain.
The detachments proceeding to North
America have been ordered an extra sup-
ply of accoutrements, for which the colonels
are to receive an indemnification.
The people of Itally have desired to be
constituted an independent monarchy, and
to have a hing given to them. Ticy put

The revolution which has been effected
in Italy, is an event of the highest apo
tance. The attempt of the partis 1: of Lu-
gene deauharnois to have him proclaimed
king, has completely failed ; and he has
been forced to fly with a fe w of his staunch
dollowers. A provisional government has
been formed, and the crown it is clear, will
be worn by a prince of the illustrious house
of Austria. %
