Immediately after the arrangement under which Paris was surrendered, the following was issued:

"GENERAL ORDER.

"1. The Field-marshal has great satisfaction in announcing to the troops under his command that he has, in concert with Fieldmarshal Prince Blücher, concluded a Military Convention with the Commander-in-Chief of the French army, near Paris, by which the enemy is to evacuate St. Denis, St. Ouen, Clichy, and Neuilly, this day at noon, the heights of Montmartre to-morrow at noon, and Paris next day.

"2. The Field-marshal congratulates the army upon this result of their glorious victory. He desires that the troops may employ the leisure of this day and to-morrow to clean their arms, clothes, and appointments, as it is his intention that they should pass him in review.

"3. Major-general Sir Manley Power, K.C.B., is appointed to the staff of this army.

"Paris, July 9th.

"Yesterday the King made his public entry into his capital at three in the afternoon. His Majesty left St. Denis at two o'clock. Numerous detachments from the National Guard of Paris went to meet the King, and to range themselves among the faithful adherents who served to form his Majesty's retinue. No ceremonial had, however, been ordered. The public enthusiasm and brilliant testimonies of general joy alone embellished this family festival. The King's carriage was preceded and followed by his military household. Around it we observed several Marshals, followed by a great number of General Officers, who had always accompanied the King. The inhabitants of Paris and the neighbouring towns covered the road. All, as well as the National Guard, had assumed the white cockade, making the air resound with cries of Vive le Roi!

"Count Chabrol, prefect of the Seine, accompanied by the municipal body, waited the arrival of the King at the barrier of St. Denis. At four o'clock the acclamations of an immense multitude announced the approach of a procession, which defiled amidst a thousand times repeated cries of Vive le Roi!”

AUSTRIAN PROCLAMATION.

"Frenchmen!-Twenty years of trouble and misfortunes had oppressed Europe. One man's insatiable thirst of dominion and

conquest, while depopulating and ruining France, had desolated the remotest countries; and the world saw with astonishment the disasters of the middle ages reproduced in an enlightened age.

"All Europe rose. One cry of indignation served to rally all

nations.

"It depended on the Allied powers, in 1814, to exercise upon France a just vengeance, which she had but too much provoked; but great monarchs, united for an only and sacred causethe re-establishment of peace in Europe-knew how to distinguish between the promoter of so many evils and the people whom he had made use of to oppress the world.

"The Allied Sovereigns declared, under the walls of Paris, that they could never make either peace or truce with Napoleon Buonaparte. The capital rose against the oppressor of Europe. France, by a spontaneous movement, rallied itself to the principles which were to restore and to guarantee her liberty and peace.

"The Allied armies entered Paris as friends. So many years of misfortunes, the spoliation of so many countries, the death of millions of brave men who fell on the field of battle, or victims of the scourges inseparable from war-all was buried in oblivion.

"Buonaparte solemnly abdicated a power which he had exercised but for the misfortunes of the world. Europe had from that time no enemy more to combat.

"Napoleon Buonaparte has re-appeared in France; he has found Europe in arms against him.

"Frenchmen!-It is for you to decide on peace or war. Europe desires peace with France-it makes war only upon the Usurper of the French throne. France, by admitting Napoleon Buonaparte, has overthrown the first basis on which its relations with other powers were built.

"Europe does not wish to encroach on the rights of any nation, but she will never allow France, under a chief but lately proscribed by herself, again to threaten the repose of her neighbours.

"Europe desires to enjoy the first benefit of peace. It desires to disarm, and it cannot do this as long as Napoleon Buonaparte is on the throne of France. Europe, in short, desires peace, and, because it desires it, will never negociate with him whom it regards as a perpetual obstacle to peace.

"Already, in the plains of Brabant, Heaven has confounded this criminal enterprise. The Allied armies are going to pass the frontiers of France. They will protect the peaceable citizensthey will combat the soldiers of Buonaparte-they will treat as friends the provinces which shall declare against him—and they will know no other enemies than those who shall support his cause. "Field-marshal Prince SCHWARTZENBERG." "Head-quarters at Heidelberg, June 23, 1815."

AUSTRIAN ORDER OF THE DAY.

"Carlsrhue, Head-quarters, June 24.

"Soldiers of the Austrian Army of the Rhine!

Napoleon, whose ambitious plans, and lust of conquest, armed all Europe against him, was conquered by you and your allies. Returning from the exile into which the generosity of the victors had sent him, he again attacks the repose, the welfare, the peace, the security of all states; provokes by his guilty arrogance the armies of United Europe to combat for the inviolability of their frontiers, the honour of their country, the happiness of their fellowcitizens-these most sacred of all possessions, which this man, to whom nothing is sacred, and who has become the scourge of humanity, has been attacking and endeavouring to destroy for so many years. Thus, brave soldiers of the Austrian army, a new and vast career of glory is opened to you. I know that you will distinguish it by new victories, and that new deeds in arms will render still more dear to me the proud satisfaction of calling myself your General. It is as honourable to you as agreeable to me, that I have only to recall the remembrance of your ancient exploits to animate you to new ones. The victories of Culm, Leipsic, Brienne, and Paris, are so many illustrious garlands that crown your standards. Continue worthy of your glory by combating as you did formerly, and by adding fresh laurels to those you have already gained.

"Great things have been already performed. Your brethren in Italy have with their arms opened themselves a way into the heart of the enemy's country, and their victorious banners wave in the capital of the kingdom of Naples. Those in Flanders gained, on the 18th inst., one of the most memorable victories recorded in history. Those victorious armies have their eyes fixed upon you, and summon you to similar exploits. Let the recollection of what you have been on so many a hard-fought day-let the feeling of what you owe to yourselves, animate you to become constantly more worthy of your ancient glory by combating for your Emperor, your honour, and your country.

"SCHWARTZENBERG, Field-marshal."

BAVARIAN ORDER OF THE Day.

"Soldiers!-In three days you have marched from the Rhine, in hopes of contributing to the operations of the Allied armies in the Netherlands. These victorious armies have anticipated you. A great and decisive victory crowned their efforts in the battle of

the 18th. It is now for us, and the Allied armies on the Upper Rhine, to annihilate the enemy's corps which oppose us. Soldiers! to-morrow we attack the enemy-march against him with courage and perseverance. His Royal Highness our Crown Prince is among us; his Royal Highness his younger brother is with the vanguard. The Crown Prince will be witness to your actions. Honour and protect the property of the peaceable French inhabitants. It is not upon them that we make war: it is against Napoleon and his adherents that our swords are drawn.

"Come on, then, against him and them! Come on, then, for King and country, for our Allies, and for Germany! "Given at our head-quarters at Hoinburg, June 22, 1815. "PRINCE WREDE, Field-marshal."

BAVARIAN PROCLAMATION.

"Frenchmen!-The manner in which we yesterday entered your country may prove to you that we are not the enemies of the peaceable inhabitants. I have pardoned even such of your fellowcountrymen as have been taken with arms in their hands, and also might have been deservedly shot as banditti. But, considering that these armed ruffians, who scour the country under the name of free corps to plunder their fellow-citizens, are a scourge which Buonaparte has brought upon France, which has been already made sufficiently unhappy by the unbounded ambition of this enemy of the repose and happiness of the world, I command:

"I. That every one who belongs to these free corps, or is taken with arms in his hands, without belonging to the troops of the line and wearing their uniform, shall be brought before a court-martial, and shot in twenty-four hours.

"II. That every town or commune in which any of the Allies shall be murdered shall be punished. For the first offence, the town with a contribution of 200,000 francs, and the village one of 50,000. On a repetition of the offence, the town or village shall be plundered and burnt.

"III. Within twenty-four hours after the entrance of the Allied armies, every town or commune shall deliver up its arms and military effects at the chief place of the prefecture or subprefecture.

"IV. Every town or commune in which, twenty-four hours after the entrance of the Allied troops, arms or military effects shall be found, shall pay a contribution, the town of 200,000, the village of 50,000 francs. The house of the owner of these arms shall be plundered and pulled down, and the owner brought before a court-martial and shot in twenty-four hours. If the owner of the arms should have absconded, his family, or the mayor, or the

principal inhabitants, shall be punished in a military manner, as protectors of highwaymen.

66

Frenchmen!-Make yourselves easy. Our victorious armies will not disturb the repose of the peaceable citizen. Europe has taken up arms again only to conquer, for itself and for you, the peace and the happiness of which a single Usurper threatens to rob it for the second time.

"Given at my head-quarters at Sargemines, 24th June, 1815, "Field-marshal PRINCE WREDE."

RUSSIAN PROCLAMATION.

"Frenchmen!-Europe, united at the Congress of Vienna, has informed you of your true interests by the acts of the 13th of March and the 12th of May. It comes in arms to prove to you that it has not spoken in vain. It desires peace; it has need of it, it must be confirmed by its amicable relations with you. It can have none, it never can have any, with the man who pretends to govern you. A fatal infatuation may have made the French soldier forget for a moment the laws of honour, and have extorted a perjury from him. An ephemeral power, supported by all kinds of illusion, may have misled some magistrates into the paths of error. But this power totters-soon it will wholly disappear. The combined Army of the North convinced you of it on the day of the 18th of June. Our armies are marching to convince you of it in their turn.

"Frenchmen, it is still time!-Reject the man who, again chaining all your liberties to his car, threatens social order, and brings into your native country all nations in arms. Be restored to yourselves, and all Europe salutes you as friends, and offers you peace. It does more. From this moment it considers all Frenchmen, who are not ranged under the standards of Buonaparte, and who do not adhere to his cause, as friends. We have consequently the order to protect them, to leave them the peaceable enjoyment of what they possess, and to support the laudable efforts which they shall make to replace France in the relative situation which the treaty of Paris had re-established between her and all the European nations.

God, justice, the wishes of all nations, second us. Frenchmen, come to meet us; our cause is yours: your happiness, your glory, your power, are still necessary to the happiness, the glory, and the power of the nations who are going to combat for you.

(Signed) "Marshal Count BARCLAY DE TOLLY." "Head-quarters, Oppenheim, June 23."
