I 1 HE thrones of the Bourbons are _ JL re-established . They are now sovereigns at Paris , Naples and Madrid ; and their conduct in their different seats of government will form very curious pages in future history . Paris presents a very singular picture . It has been taken a second time , and the confederate
armies , the supporters of the monarch on the throne , are in possession of the capital . In this situation the monarch issues his mandates to his subjects as in time of profound peace , and he has appointed a day for the
assembling of the legislature , to act in concert with him for the government of the country . The events preceding this change are unexampled in history , and will scarcely be believed by posterity .
The battle of Waterloo was most decisive . The ruin of the army under Buonaparte was complete , and the conquerors followed up their victory with such rapidity , that Paris fell into their hands without a blow .
A military convention was made between the generals of the Prussians and English and those of the army of the French , at Paris , by which the latter agreed to withdraw with their troops to the south of the Loire ; and Paris was given up to the conquerors , on the idea , that the inhabitants were
not to be injured , and public property was left to future arrangements . The king- followed them quickly , and was lodged in his palace , and the sovereigns of Russia and Prussia soon after arrived in his capital . It £ ould not be expected that the

conquerors should in this manner march through the country without some inconveniences being felt by tb © inhabitants ; and the Prussians , exasperated by former recollections , were not likely to be kept entirely free from availing themselves of the
usual privileges of war . But Paris felt more , perhaps , for the apprehended injury to some of its works of art , than from the burning of a few palaces and villages at a distance : and the Emperor of Russia arrived in time to save the bridge of Jena , which BJucher had made preparations to
destroy . The hardy veteran did not recollect , that if the bridge recalled the memory of the day in which the kingdom of his master was overthrown , the preservation of it with a memorial of its having been in possession of the Prussians , would have redounded more to their national
glory . Paris had many similar monuments of the heroism of its great military chief , but their names have been changed , and thus the fury of the conquerors has been averted .
With the return of the Bourbon , the white flag was restored ; but the tri-coloured waves in many parts of France , which feels at present the horrors of domestic war and foreign invasion . On all sides from the
Netherlands and the Rhine troops are pouring into this ill-fated country , whose day of retribution is come ; and the pride of the great nation is humbled to the dust . A feeble resistance has been made in some p laces to the march of the Russians ana Austrians , which ended in so touch
