THE NATIONAL REGISTER._ MAY 8. derive much gratification from the animated notice of them' which we have extracted from the Fiench papers.— Every part will be found replete with interest. Annexed is a Proclamation issued by Louis XVIII. on Monday from St Ouen on the 2d inst. From this it will be seen, that his Majesty has not accepted the Constitution drawn up by the Senate. He, however, admits the bases of it to be good; these arc recognised, and the Senate and the I.egislatiye Body arc convoked for the 10th of June, to 1. take the subject again into consideration. The right of re presentation, the liberty of the press and religious freedom, are guaranteed by his Majesty ; but we are sorry we can find ro guarantee for the abolition of the law of the Conscrip tion. This, we hope, has been omitted through accident. His Majesty has promised that it shall be done away ; and we dare not, for a moment, suppose that he would, in any in stance, depart ft om his word; hut that he would do so on a Eubjeil of such vast importance, is impossible. ts PAK 14, MAY 4.—This day his MAJESTY set out from St. Olsen sewn p wiled by the Members of the rrovisimal Council of State, the Members of the Ministerial Department. the Marsheils of Friace,J the Generals who went to offer their homage to his Moje%ty, and the Per-ons who composed his Household : air immense number of the Inhabitants of Pail', of the neighbouring country, and of the sur rounding Departments, were assembled on the road which his Ma jesty wits to pass. " Tat Pie to of the Seine, at the head of the Municipal Body, was stationed at the barrier. The keys were carried by the Dean of the Mayors of Paris. The Baron gle Chabral then addressed his Majesty, and presented him with the keys of the city. His Majes ty replied in the most gracious manner— " At length (said he)T behold myself in my good city of Paris ; I fuel with the most lively emotions, the testimonies of affection which are now offered to me. N..thing could he nu•re graUfying to cue than to see restored the SPattics of my noble Aneestoni, the recollection ci whom is so dear to me. I touch those keys. and I te‘ttbre them to you ; they cannot be in better hands, nor confided to Mauistratqs more worthy of the charge." " proce:•sicn then proceeded to the Cathedral. by the pre ~ct ihed route. lle was received there with the accustomed cere sn,lpies nomine fac siPrung litgens was performed, and supported by a vast number 91 spectators, who filled every part of that pile of Te Ovum was afterwards SIMI!. When the e i; l4 i i i ie , ce r emon y was co n c l u d e d, the procession set out fur the P.ilace of the " We shall not attempt to describe• the effect prodneed by the eitry of the King into his capital. In the course of Hie long march, Magistrates, Generals, Officers, Citizens, Officers and Soldiers of the Allied Armies, all spewed that they were actuated but by one entiment—that they had formed but one wish—that they had all indulged in one hope, viz. the happiness of the King,• through the ippiness of the French. The enthusiasm, the unanimous acclama tions, incessantiv renewed, of 46 Fire le Rol! Uiciut les Bourbons!' were communicated alternately from the troops to the inhabitants, and him the inhabitants to our brave soldiers, to whom Paris on this great day, delighted to pay the homage of admiration, fur their long and glorious labours, now about to be terviinatett by a solid peace. These troops, who had been detached from the different corps of the army to assist at this ceremony, were yesterday rc iewed by the Duke de Beni, and manititsted under tie eyes of the Prince, the most lively ent:tusiasm for his angnst House. It was at the spot where the statue of Henry IV. had been restored, that the enthusiasm was carried to the highest possible pitch. The Conserra tare assembled round the statue. snug the air consecrated to the memory of the good King. The people and the suldiers repeated th e chorus. The carriage of the King stopped some time at this r.pot ; and the King seemed to read, m ith much emotion, the fol lowing WWI iption on the pedestal:— " Ludurico reduce, Henricus Tlederirus," and, also, those on two Temples erected near the statue, viz. To the Concord of the French—To the Peace of Nations. " The King arrived at the Thnilleries about six o'clock. An im mense crowd occupied the Caronsel, the Court of the Palace, the Gardens, and the terraceA. The ,Kinv, the Duchess of Atigouteme, nail the Princes, in compliance with the wishes of the people, shewi-il themselve% several times in tLe. Balconies. At night, the en tire city was illuminated ; the public Oitices in the most splendid manner and every private house, without exception, even in the 301 most remote parts. Devices, Transpale..cies, and Inscriptions presented themselves on every side. 46 A splendid firework was let oft on • the Ilficke of Louis XVI ; and it was not till after his Majesty had n plied to the acclamations winch again saluted hips, • that he returned to his apartments. " The day was delightful, and the night calm. Paris was is long time ore vast promenade, delivered up, vs ithout the slightest disorder, to public satisfaction and joy. • " During the procession, Madame Blanchard ascended in a Irtl. loon ; it hovered for a short time over the Statue of Henry IV. and then went off in the direction of the Palace of the Four Nations. When she had arrived at a certain height, she set at liberty a num ber of white pigeon . which, like the Dave from the Ark, flew to announce to the Provinces Iliac the storms of France were over. 1.. The following is part of M. Talleyrund's Speech to the King in the name of the Senate : " The more difficult circumstanceq, the more nu4lit the Royal Authority to be powerful and revered—in sptzkinz to the imagina tion with all the eclat of ancient recollewit.as, it will know how to conciliate all the wishes of modern re:;.son by borrowing the wisest political theories. You know better than we, Sire, that the Institu tions of a neighbouring people so well proved, give simpnrt. and not barriers, to Monarchs who arc frilmtis of the laws and fathers of the people. Yes, Site, the nation and the &nate, full of confidence in the great talents of your Majesty, desire that France may be free s in order that the King may be powerful." DECLARATIoN OF TILE KING.

The French Minister, M. de Prena, was seized by the populace, dragged to the great square, tor tured, and put to death. Even here the mischief did not end. They are' 'stated to have proceeded to the Senate House, which they sacked, after insulting the Senators and demanding the heads of the Minis•us.
