Dotcning-slreet, April 27^ 

 Lieutenant Loi-d G«orge Lenox 

 arrived lust dight at this office, 

 bringing a disfjatch from Field 

 Marshal the Marquess of Wel- 

 lington, addressed to Earl B»tlw 

 urst, of wliiLh the, Ibllowiug is a 

 copy:- .. . . 



Toulouse, April 19. 

 My Lord,— On the evening of 

 the 12th instant. Colonel Cook ar- 

 rived fk"om Paris, to inform me of 

 the events which had occurred in . 

 that city to the night of the 7th 

 instant. He was accompanied by 

 Colonel St. Simon, who was di-, 

 rected by the Provisional Govern'- 

 ment of France to apprise Marshal 

 Soult and Marshal Suchet of the 

 same event. 



Marshal Soult did not at first con- 

 sider the information to be so au- 

 thentic as to induce him to send his 

 submission to the Provisional Go- 

 vernment ; but he proposed that I 

 should consent to a suspension of 

 hostilities, to give him time to 

 ascertain what had occurred ; but 

 I did not think it proper to ac- 

 quiesce in this desire. I enclose 

 the correspondence which passed 

 on this occasion. 



In the mean time I concluded 

 (on the 15th) a convention for the 

 suspension of hostilities with the 

 General Officer commanding at 

 Moutauban, of which 1 enclose a 

 eopy ; and the troops being pre- 

 pai"ed for mo^dng forward, they 

 mardied on the 15tb and the 17tli 

 instant towards Castlenaudary. 



I sent forward on the 16th ano- 

 ther officer, who had been sent 

 from Paris to Marshal Soult ; and 

 I received from him tlie following- 

 day the letter of which 1 enclose a 

 «;apy, broHght by the General of 

 Division Count Gazan, who in- 

 formed me, as indeed appears by 

 the Marshal's letter, that he had 

 acknowledged the Provisional Go- 

 vernment-of France. 



I therefore auttioiized Majof 

 General Sir George M\irray, and 

 Maresrhal' cle Caitipo Don Louis 

 Winipftin tfl iiirafige with General
