BURGHERSII, Lieut.-Col. 63d Regiment. T• the Right Hon. the Viscount Castlereagh, Etc. &c. &e. Heights of BarrMe, March 30. Mr LORD--After a brilliant victory, GOD has pieced the capital of the French Empire in the hands of the Allied Sovereigns, a just retribution for the miseries inflicted on Moscow, Vienna, Madrid, Ber lin, and Lisbon, by the Desolator of Europe. I must very imperfectly detail the events of this glorious day at such a moment as the present, and therefore throw myself on your Lordship's indulgence. The enemy's army, under the command of Joseph Bonaparte, aided by Marshals Monier and Mar. mont, occupied with their right the heights of Fon. tenoy, Romainville, and Belleville ; their left was on . Montmartre, and they had several redoubts in the centre, and on the whole line an immense artillery of above one hundred and fifty pieces. In order to attack this position, the Silesian army was directed on Montmartre, St. Denis, and the vii. 'age of 1.3 Valette and Pantin, while the grand army attacked the enemy's right on the heights before alluded to, at Romainville and Belleville. Marshal Blucher made his own dispositions for his attack. The 6th corps, tinder General Reiffsky, moved from Bondy in three columns of attack, supported by the guards and reserves, and leaving the great route of Meaux, attacked the heights of Romainville and -Belleville. These are very commanding, as well as Montmartre, the ground between being covered with villages and country seats, and the possession of them commainlz Paris :old the whole country round.-- Prince Eugene of Wirtemberg's division of the Gth corps .commenced the attack, and with the greatest spirit endured for a long period a very galling fire ol "artillery, being supported by the reserves of grcna 'dierse l is Serene Highness, after some loss, carried the heights of Romainville, the enemy retiring to those of Belleville behind them. The All: corps supperted this attack more to the left, and was di rected on the heights of Rosny, and on Charenton, by their gallant Commander the Prince Royal ol Wirtentbeig. The !Id corps of the army was plated in echelon near Neuilly ia reserve, as well as thi 'cavalry. The attack of the grand army had. commenced "some short time before ?hat cif the Silesian, delayed by some accident ; but it was not long before Gene :rah D'Yorck and Kleist debatuched near St. Deni• on Aube Ville ; and here and at Pantin a very 0456- :late resistance was made. His Royal Highness Prince \William of Prussia, with his brigade, together with the Prussian guards, were much distinguished. The enemy's cavalry attempted to charge, but were brilliantly repulsed by the Brandenburgli• and black hussar regiments. ..41 strong redoubt and - battery of the enemy's in the centre, kept General D"Yorek's corps in check.for some part of the day, butt their right flank being gained by the heights of Romain ilk, as well as their loss in every part of the field, id, finally, the complete discomfiture on all sides, , khiced them to the necessity of sending a flag of uce to demand a cessation of hostilities, they giving p all the ground without the barrier of Paris, until urtlier arrangements could be made. The heights of Montmartre were to be placed, by the geperolity of a beaten enemy, in our possession Romainvile and Belleville) being carried at the mo. silent when Count I.,angeron's corps was about to. ,torn them, and had already taken possession of the test of the hill, Count Woroneow's division also carried the village of La Villettef detrging with two battalions of chits. seurs ; and possessing themselves of twelve pieces of cannon, wtr• also stopped ilea the Barrier of Paris by the flag of truce. However, his Imperial Majesty, the lVog of Prue siat and ['rinse Scliwartzenherg, eitli that humanity which raust excite the applause, while it calls for the admiration of Europe, acceded to entertain a propo sition to prevent the capital ftom being sacked and destroyed. Count Par, Aid-de-Camp to the Prince Field-Mar shal, and Co lonel Orloff, Aid-de.Camp to his Majesty the Emperor, were sent to arrange the cessation of hostilities; and Count Nesselrode, his Imperial Ma jety's Minister, went in at lour o'clock this evening, when the battle ceased, to Paris. The result of this victory cannot yet be known ; 1 numerous pieces of artillery taken in the field, and large number of prisoners, have fallen into our hands. The number of guns in the margin, are al tdy reported. Our loss has bees something considerable; but we may have the consoling hope, that the brave men hu fell will accomplish the work of the downfal of despotism, and rear the standard of renovated Eu rope under a just equilibrium, and the dominion if to legitallae Sovereigns. ‘Ake o r liberty of sending my Aide - de -Cam p , Captain with this dispatch, being with me -a win; the day ; he will make his way, I hope, with the Cossacks, whom Lieutenant General Count Wo. annanw leas 'given him, and will acquaint your LOrd sl.i verbally, with details I can bat imperfectly er ;nt(l.

Yesterday we had the happiness to communicate the most glorious piece of intelligence that has reach ed us for many years. Today our columns teem with the official details of the operations which led to the occupation by the Allies of the French capital. These details, like all their precursors, are penned with admirable precision, and require no elucidation or comment. The Proclamation of Prince SCIIWART. ZENPERG will be read with more than common inte rest : it paves the way for that greatest of all earthly blessings—the dethronement of the execrable assas sin who has so long called himself the Emperor of FRANcg. Prince SCHWARTZCNBERG expressly says, that there exists in the very power of the Government which oppresses France an insurmountable obstacle to peace. He says, that the Allied Sovereigns seek in good faith a salutary au thority in France, which may cement the union of all nations and of all Governments with her. He calls upon the city of Paris to declare itself. He points out to them the examples of Bourdeaux and of Lyons ; and most truly and most emphatically adds, " Yon will find in these examples the termination of foreign war and of civil discord. You cannot search for it elsewhere." Such sentiments subscribed by an Aus trian General will be applauded by all Europe—let as believe that they cannot have been addressed in vain to France. How high must the character of Great Britain stand at thin moment in the estimation of Europe When every ether nation was either prostrate at the feet of the insolent Usurper of the French Throne, or, from an impulse of fear, compelled to lead their aid to assist him in the execution of his ambitious .. views, Great Britain alone —the " Nation of Shot:- betters," had the virtue and boldness, "single-handed, " to oppose herself not only against the power of F:ance, wielded by the self-confident Tyrant who had waded to his wicked elevation through torrents of blood, but against the physical strength of the overawed States of Europe, compelled to submit to the dic tates of his desolating policy. Nor is this the most striking feature of the picture. Her conduct has been that of the warmest and most endearing affection to every Power cornriled to take the field against her. Nothing like a Y inTctive spirit has marked any of her proceedings when even forced to conquer those who were her enemies—not by choice but by compulsion. From the astonishing crisis which we ha•'e lived to witness, mankind may and will learn many useful lessons. The man, however high his rank, however extended his means, however great his resources, who dares to build his hopes. of fame on a base which 'violates the moral principles of human action, must, sooner or later, witness the overthrow of the edifice he rears. Men, nay communities and nations, may, for a time, be forced to lend their physical powers in the support of wickedness, injdstice, irreligion, and antisocial illegitimate ambition, but placed in such circumstances their minds condemn their actions.— Let them but have the opportunity and, like a spring liberated• from an unnatural constraint, the recoil carries them, by a law of nature, as far tile other way. Those who direct the national force of Europe have now learnt the value of popular affection, built on a sense of duty flowing out of gratitude for the benefits of protection. It is impoisible to estimate the increase of power which their States will experience from the necessary and unavoidable effect which this know ledge will have upon their own conduct in their Ifuture rule— And, on the other hand, the people have learnt, by dear bought experience, the danger inseparable from disloyalty, antipatriotism, and that delusive spirit of selfishness which deceives the ill-informed inte.a be lief that they have interests distinct from thossof the community . The experiment has had a trial—the gilded pill was voluntarily swallowed by some, others have had it forced down ; but, however administered, the hug of French fraternity-French philosophy—French ame lioration, has been found bitter as gall and worm wood. Honest John Bell has paid to keep away the doc ' tor, and he has acted the wiser part. Had he swal lowed the potion, he would have been charged a hun dred fold mote for the prescription, and been poisoned past fie. By the line of conduct which he has inva rinblytursued, he has, though at some expense, not only kept himself in health, leut--,and how consoling is the reflection l--been the mean, in the hand of Pao. vlnes:644 restoring other nations, whose condition was 411n01t hopeless, to the enjoyment of the same blessing. How different the bonds which unite the European States to our happy Country, from those galling let ters by whisk they were held in a state of degrading bondage to the Corsican, the slaves of a soldier .of fortuneof a needy adventurer who had the daring to set himself up as the omnipotent who held in his hands the destinies of natiooil blay we not, with due _ reverence, apply the worth of inspiration to the im pious blasphemer ? "The LORD hath broken the sceptre of the wicked man : who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke; Aile that ruled the nations in anger is assailed and none hin eireth.--How art thou fallen from 'leaven, 0 LUCIFFIC, ton of the morning! Art thou cut dowotto the ground, which didst weaken the nations ? Thou hart said in thine heart, I will ascend into Haven-1 will exalt any throne above the stars of GOD : I will rule over the Church : I will as cend above the heights of the clouds : I will h life the Mos? Him ret thou shalt be brought down to Hell to the sides of the pit. al I: this the man that made the earth to tremble; that did shake Kingdoms, made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof ; that opened not the house of the prisoners ? " All the Kings of the Nations rest in glory, every one in his own house, tut thou art cast out of thy grave, life an abominable branch. Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and stliX thy people : the seed of evil-doers rludl never be renowned." Happy emancipation t Britain will now with gra titude be hailed as the 'Mamma OY EUROPE. — The Emperor of RUSSIA has earned a higher title than that of Great : he has not fotight for con quest, but to confer benefits ; he is At.exAxnVit THE Goon. Shall not Fit.sets have his meed of praise He has nobly earned the admiration of grateful na tions ; his was no common ate. He has proved himself indeed a FATHEII !—not the s father of one but of millions.—Paussta, thou hest sorely suffered for thy early folly ; but thou host made atonement ; thy gallant children have earned for thee the esteem of surrounding nations. But shall we forget Spain anti Portugal the nations which first dared to attempt emancipation from the degrading yoke of the villain who had overwhelmed and ruined them ? No, never let the moral effect of their example be undervalued. They will now reap the reward of patriotism. But a great, and in our estimation an imperious duty remains to be performed by the Allies. We have more than once hinted that France should be compelled to restore those works of art of which she has robbed other nations. We sincerely - lope that the press will, on this point, discharge its duty.. These workshave been called gi the glorious trophies of French victories." For that reason, if for no other.' they ought to be peremptorily demanded as a sinew non, let who will occupy the Throne of France. But there Is another and more powerful motive for this procedure. If war be permitted for the purpose of possessing the productions of art in other nations, the inciple amounts to a prohibition of improvement; improve, would be to solicit invasion. Such a system, left not merely unpunished, but rewarded by undisturbed possession, wild do more to demoralize nations than language can furnish terms to express. Statesmen and Muralists cannot view this subject with indifference. Even the destruction of these mo numents, greatly as such a calamity would be to be deplored, would be an evil infinitely less in its con sequences to civilized society than the suffering them, a .quired in the manner they have been, to remain in the hands of the French. It has been stated.that these works have been secreted so as to defy an enemy to gain them. Let M. Devon, and the savans who were organised as a body, for the purpose of select ing and carrying off these productions from the coun tries cursed with the presence of the French armies, have their election of disclosure or death. DESON knows where they are. In addition to the brilliant achievements detailed in the Gazette Extraordinary, there are accounts in the City, said to be derived from the French Coast, stating, that in consequence of the great confusion which prevailed, no Frencti, Journals could be ob tained—that BONAPARTE' with forty thousand men, had been made prisoners, and that the Telegraph had announced the declaration of Paris in favour of the Bourbons. It is also reported with great confidence, that two Deputies have arrived from France on a mission to Louis XVIII. who were dispatched instantly to his re sidence at Hartwell-house—that the Senate concluded their terms with the Allied Sovereigns on the '2d inst. and Marshal MARXION T has goneover to the Allies with all his forces, and that of course he has, as a reward for his fidelity towards his legitimate Sovereign, been nominated to the Baton of First Marsha' of France. Captain HARRIS, of the 18th Light Dragoons, the Aide-de-Camp of Sir CHARLES STEWART, who arrived yesterday about three o'clock, in a chaise and four, in'Downing-street, with the dispatches, at the Office of the War Department, was immediately at tended by Earl BATHURST, Earl of LIVERPOOL, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and others of the 4 Cabinet Ministers; and after the Ministers had issued the Bulletin which appeared in the Second Editi,l» the STAR, the Earl of Livrotroot., Earl B.vi with Captain HARRIS, in his regimentals, weal ing white foraging cap, proceeded arm in arm to Carl ton-House, across the Park, to }ay the Dispatches before the PRINCE RLOENT, and for the purpose of introducing the Captain to his Royal Highness. In the mean time the Park and Tower Guns were fired, the Gazette Extraordinary was ordered to be printed, and a letter sent to the LORD MAYOR. The sensation now excited in the City we are nut compe tent to describe. The space in tront of the Mansion House was crowded withpeople shouting and ' z.hog. All was uproar and confusion, and it was with difficulty the passenger could force his way.— With the approach of night the bells rung a merry peal, varying and it - tire:twig the busy din that pre vailed in die streets, filled with people enquiring the news, pressing to the Newspaper Offices, which were • .lilted N keep open until near eleven o'clock at night. *— cnri rich v int and reds trot up the - • ie sto 4eS of set , ett by SFi ZC di 11 , ‘l l /I , I e &shop . • Kcal Cold Hon The Tartar, Williams, Ist, ..1 0 i,trefpool 104ftleat was taken on theAlskstrianuary last, by the jabde Fee nth frigate, of ifgtitts. but given Kilo the cre , of the Wiffram and , Margaret, of Londonderry, and , Portuguese schooner, which they had previously taken and burnt ; arrived at Fityal . on the 2'2d Februats, The John and Thomas, of Shields, was lately ea' tared by the Midas American privateer, the Ma' and crew of which they put on board the sloop vine, of London, and afterwards burnt the .161 An Thomas. with a quantity of live bullocks on board.

The debate was opened by Howoteru, and sustained in a must animated and pessive manner by Mr. liannattua. Messrs. Gai TWISING, Bosas4uer, and X. isessost took a spicuous share in it—when it was interrupted CHAIRMAN requesting that the glorious news ne be publicly read ; and it was received with those I and reiterated acclatnations which spoke the patril feelings of the assembly. At nearly six ocloc motion of adjournment was made by Mr. Alderm ATKINS; and, after a division, was carried—"Ayr —Noes 40. . The original proposition for an iot a of salary was consequently lost.
