"The General of Cavalry Bon trimoflt had, on the 31st of December,' Matte a reconnoissance from Ensisheim upon St. Croix, under the direction of Count Herdegg. Colonel Baron Mengen led the advanced guard, consisting of three divisions, and received orders to attack, with. the first division, .all the advanced pats which the enemy had ,placed on the road, and, if potsible, to enter St. Croix with the eying enemy, at the same tints to tut off his coMmu : nications, and pursue him to the other side or the town : the two other diviiions.were to post themselves On the right and left of the plate. The enemy's vi 7 dettes and advanced post* were overthrown and cut down ;some troops of cavalry, however, stood ready to receive our brave men, though after a severe onset they were driven through the town by Cot Mengen : but some cif them fired from the windows of the houses on our me%; and on this Occasion fell the brave Wolff, Adjutant of Prince Schwarzenberg's but ; and Lieut. Baron Molivity was wounded. "As, however, the dente fog which came on did not permit us to reconnditre the enemy'tposition between St Croix aad Colmar, and arrange an attack, Gene. ral Hard egg withdrew his troops to their srst posi t lion. The loss of the enemy in this affair was very considerable ; I I prisoners and SO horses fell into our hands : our loss was trifling. " In the Mean time ColonelSthelblet, with 150 Co ssacks and 50 hussars, surprised the enemy between RusteTheirn and Dessenheim, and drove him back to the glacix of New Brisach : we took 11 prisoner; and - 10 horses. " The General of Calmly? Scbeither has taken at Neufville (near Neuchatel), a qoartir-master, 2 cor porals, 12 privates, and 20 horses. Lieutenant Field Marshal Bianchi, who besieges the fortress of Befort, drove back the enemy in a late sally, and took priso tier: an officer and eight fri'vates." Read-quarters at Loertacb, Dec. 49 . , 1 813. " Major Woeber, with a corps of light troops, has ached \Tillers and Daman, and advanced his fore- P) ts to the Mulls. The main body of Field Mar.

The rest of the enemy% detachment was routed by Lieutenant-Colonel Deak, who made several prisoners.—The Field-Marshal Commanding in Chief has bestemed - the eil►er medal on the abote mentiOned Toedi." _:~..:.: We-testerday isataided an opinion, that if some kind of pdblie declaration were made by the Allies in favour of the restoration of the BOURBONS, a new army against BONAPARTE and his satellites svotild be instantly created, by thousands of Frenchmen coming over from the ranks of the Usurper to that of the legitimate SoVereign: We have noicthe satisfaction to state, that within these few Mori the PRINCES of the HOUSE of Boiiisioar hire received numerous communications from ,the various depots of the French prisoners threithout the country, stating themselves to have served under the old Regime, and expressing their susidety for the restoration of their Legitimate Princes. The number of French prisoners now in this country, `who served under the Monarchy, is greater than at any former period. Nearly the whole of the garrison of St. Sebattian's, for instance; consisted of regiments which htd never been in France since the Revolution. The remains of the fine old Royal Regiment d'AaTots, , (once commanded by hit Royal Highness MONSIEUR but subsequently converted by BONAPARTE into the 62d demi-brigade) are now at one of our depots, as, prisoners of war. The Offiters and most of the men are all of the Old School, and have never participated in any of the atrocities committed by the soldiers of BONAPARTE'S own creating. As connected with the above tircumstances we I have to remind our Readers, that there have been dis turbances of late aniong the French prisoners at va , :tions depots in consequence of one party calling them 'sates BOURBON and the other BONAPARTE French- Men. These ire facts highly,worthy of the attention of the Alliird-fiorereigns and-our own Ministers. It oust, if course; their unanimous desire to spare the further effosickt of human blood. It is full time that they should consider how far this may be effec ted by some prompt and vigorous measures in favour tir the BOURBOR PRINCES. That an ample amnesty, such as is worthy of a Christian Sovereign, will be given to the French nation generally, by his Majesty Lours XVIII. cannot be doubted. The witive benevolence of his own heart, as manifested in every act of his life, added to the injunctions to forgiVe the French people, contained in the will of his unfortunate brother, who perished upon the_scaffold, are the best pledges which can be given that France, like the the rest of Europe, will enjoy a LONG REPOSE ! While upon this subject, we cannot help balling to our recollection the interesting interview which took place itt Vienna between the daughter of Louis' XVI. now Duchess d'ANGOULEME, and her uncle, his present MAIESTE, after this beautiful and accom plished Princess had escaped from the custody of the murderers of her Parents and Brother. She threw herielf at the feet of her Uncle, and the first words she uttered were-- ,, My Sovereign, the daughter of Louts XVI. who has seen her patients and brother ass.v:s;nated, comes to implore your forgiiehess for their murderers!" Since writing the shove, we - are assured that one of the French PrinCes has left this country for Lord WELLINGTON'S Army. We are happy also to loam that his Royal Highness Mariann is perfectly reco vered from his late indisposition. 1 . Yesterday the bake .or YORK transacted military business with the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton House. His Royal blighness went to his Office in the Horse, Guards, and held a Levee.

Sir HENRY SULLIVAN, Sir GEORGE EtDENeSir G. SHEE, &C. It is not generally known that the majestic white horse, which carried LA FAYETTE, at the head of the National Guards, thrcugh the streets of Paris during the Revolution, is still alive, and is much revered by the Parisians. It is upwards of twenty-five years old, and is lodged in the Imperial stables. One of the squibs, receetly placarded on the walls of Paris, was in the form of a petition to the Emperor from this old and faithful servant of the Republican faction; in which the veter?n animal is made to assure BONA PARTE that he has still strength sufficient to carry him through all the services which he will require while he is Emperor. BONAPARTE'S statue has been removed from Fre derick's-place, at Cassel, and that of the Landgrave FREDERICK set up again in its stead. At Gottingen, Also, the bust of JEROME has been turned out of the Library. The following, we understand, is the substance of the New Defensive Alliance into which the smaller States of Gernsany have entered :—They are to have on foot, during the war, doable the number of troops which formed the quota of each of them when they were members of the Rhenish Confederation : the one•half to be regulars and the other landwehr s both branches of the service to be kept constantly com plete by means of reserves. The troops are to be formed into several large armies, each of which is to have its own general and staff officers, with particu lar ensigns. l'he great manufactories of arms at Sciiinggn, Herzberg, and Olberhan, are to work for the equipment of those armies alone. A part of the artillery taken in the campaign, shall be given to these corps for clip purpose of forming artillerists, to gether with all the arms which may yet be taken in the fortresses on tha.ribe, 1 IV4V4IL IIV ELLIGENCE.

Last night Mr. Keurtut made his second- 'ap pearance, in the character of Macbeth, and was re. ceived with the same enthusiastic acelanations Which cheered his reception on Saturday night. His per formance of this character was marked with his • usual ji4dgment; and at no period of his lite did he seem more in possession of the various powers neces sary to display the arduous part he had undertaken. The, workings of ambition, which, although they impelled him to the commission of crime, were yet Amble to stifle the remorse which conscience ulti thately unfolds, were admirably displayed. In a performance where perfection reigned, it were difficult to point out select passages ; but it we were to make any selection, we shr,uld rather prefer the last scene, where Macbeth is informed of the fulfilment of the 1 1 /etcher' prediction, that be should never tall " Till llirnam Wood should come to Dutssinana." Here the mingled emotions of astonishment and de. spair seemed to have carried the actor beyond the ,boundt of scenic representation, and he appeared be fore the aodiance in the fall display of one of the most difficult characters of our immortal Bard. His scene with iffacduif was admirable, and. drew forth continued plaudits.—Mrs. favorr's Lady Macbeth was a very respectable effort, and, could we torget the talents of Mrs. SIDDONS, we might add, a most success. ful representatiop of that prominent ch.tracter.--At an early hour the house overflowed, the dress boxes displayed a considerable number of ital.:, and all ranks seemed antious to h ail the restoration of the genuine drama upon a stage where taste and talent could so happily be effective. Yesterday being her Majesty's birth-day, the melrn ing was ushered in with the ringing of hells, and the flags on the steeples were displayed. The King's guard at St. James's Palace, mounted in white gai ters, the same as on Court clays, and the State Co,. lours were carried with them. The men had their usual allowance of porter.
