' King Joseph, brother of the Emperor," ar rived yesterday at 2 o'clock. His majesty will occupy the llywe Napoleon. The English Ambassador is still here. ' By letters from Strasbourg, we hear that Marshal duke d'Albufera has taken measures to guarantee the frontiers from foreign, invasion. and to put the strong ports in a proper state of defence. We hear they are provisioning the towns of Landau, Schlestadt, Neuf Brissaek, Hnningue,. &e. The Austrian troops at Kehl are perfectly quiet. v " The Duke of.

' u On the 21st at 1 o'clock noon, the Empe ror reviewed the troops which composed the army of Paris. , The wliole capital is a wit ness of the effusion of enthusiasm and attach ment, which burst from these rallant soldiers. They had all re-conquered their country ! 1 iey hail all 4ean etfiaeipated from-oppress ion:' they had all, round in the national co lors, the remembrance of those generous senti ments which have ever distinguished the French nation After the Emperor had passed through the ranks, the troops were formed into hollow squares by battalions. " Soldiers, (said the Emperor,) with 600 men I have entered France, because I relied uptfn the love of my people, and upon the affection ate, remembrance ' of my -old soldiers- -I have not been deceived in, my- expectation's sol diers! I thank you for it. LeUtfie glory of what has been done, be ascribed to the people and to you-Vine is complete, it having kown you and'appreciated your merit. " Soldiers ! the throne of the Bourbons was an iilccilimate throne,. inasmuch as it was ele vatcd.by foreign influence: inasmuch as it had been proscribed by the vow of a whole nation, expressed by all our national assemblies ; in short, because it afforded nja security whateYerj except ; indeed t the interest of a small num ber of arrogant men, whose haughty preten sionj are directly "".opposed to our ricrhts. Sol diers ! the imperial throne Can a!one secdrethe rights of the people, and above all, our chief in terestsour elorv. Soldiers ! we are able to march, to drive'from our territo'ries those for eign allies. The nation will not only follow us with its vowsyi)ut even themselves obey the impulse. The French people and your empe ror calculate upon you. ' .We do not wish" to interfere with the affairs of foreign "nations j but woe to them that interfere, with ours' The. speech .was, .received with a general ac clamation! "..Shortly after, Gen. Canibroune and the officers of Mhe guards of the battalion from the Island of Elba, appeared, decorated with the eagle", , the aucicut- badge of distinction. The emperor resumed his address. .A "Behold the officers of the battalion who havcaccompanied me in my . misfortunes. They-are alljiny friends; they are very dear to me. Every time I saw them they reminded me. of the different regimentsofthe army for among these 600 brave fellow's, there are men from every regiment.

"In loving them, it was you soldiers whom' I loved. They have brought back to you these eagles. May they always be a rallying pointr ;In presenting them jto theguard," I give them to the whole army.

March 18 Some facts are clear' from the de bates and investigations on the corn bill, that England does not grow sufficient corn for her own consumption, and this notwithstanding all the boasted advantages of Enclosures; that the supply from tbe continent has been fluctuating, and cannot, in either respects than war, be re lied upon for a fixed and permanent market; that it might be imported thence ebeaper than from Ireland ; but from Ireland it is had as at a certain market, and the payments of its price is circulated at .home ; that the common benefit is herein considered rather tbaa foreign agri culture j that the average of a protecting price is 83S. or 84s. that at 80s.- the quarter loaf would be 13d. at the utn.r - ; that ibis price will operate as a stfmulus to le agriculturists of both parts of the United 'Kfa'gdoru ; that it would save the laboring poor from great die- . tress, and preserve the price at an even rate instead or a scarcity at one time and a glut at another; that the increase of nopulation far exceeded the ratio of the increase of food, and -will verease the price of corn ; that cora had beed hoarded in expectation of this bill, which . if bad now beh necessary to bring to market which was the cauf(e of the present redaction in price; that Jhe law would tend to raise the price, for it could not increase the quantity ; that the cultivation of more land would require an extehsion of capital, and the price must cover that expense f that this measure would exclude supplies from foreign markets at cheaper rates than those at which the United Kingdoms could . : supply it ;. that t ii the interest of France to supply England with corn, as it is for England to supply 1 ranee with manufactures ; that ii is , necessary to impose a maximum to prevent our being dependent on foreign markets ; that grain differs from all other articles of commerce : that a reduction of the price of grain must reduco the price of JaboUr, and behce will follow a general reduction, nd that during a legislative reduction of 33 years the price of grain rose.
