PRP FOREIGN OFFICE, FEBRUARY i S. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. A Dispatch, of which the following is an attract, has been received this morning at this Cece, from Lord BURGH/TAM, dated nor's, FERIVART 8. The important position and town of Troyes was yesterday taken possession of by the Allies. The enemy retired from it the night preceding, and tea his direction upon Nogent. The number of roads leading from the'different points of France, and uniting at Troyes, the resources of the place itself, with a population of thirty thou sand inhabitants, render its occupation of the greatest importance. The Prince Royal of Wirtembergb was the first who entered the town with his corps. On the day preceding, he had turned the enemy's position near Ruvigni, and had taken possession of the village of Lanbrissel on Lis left. I have the satisfaction of reporting to your Lord ship, that a detachinent from the corps of General D'Yorck took possession of Vary on the sth. General D'Yorck, as I hav,e already informed your Lordship, attacked and defeated the rear-guard of tile corps of Marshal Macdonald's army, at Chaus see, on the sth. On the same day, General D'Yorck pursued the enemy to the gates of Chalons, and bom barded the town. Marshal Macdonald entered into a capitulation for the evacuation of the place, which he effected on the morning of the 6th, retiring with his army, composed of the corps under his immedi ate orders, and of those of Generals Sebastiani and Arighi, to the left bank•of the Marne. Chalons sur Saone has been captureel by the Aus trians ; General Le Grand was assembling a French force at that place ; the Prince of Hesse Hombourg directed it to be attacked; some guns were captured in the town. General Le Grand retired upon the road to Lyons, where Marshal Augerean has collected a force of about 4000 men. .

[FUtiTIJ ER EXTRACTS.] MONrAUBAN, FEBRUARY 4. On the 29th of Januiry the Prefect having learnt that the ninth division of the Army of Spain going p. , st to Paris, would pass through Montauban on the 30th, lost no time in preparing 300 carriages,. and providing quarters and provisions. Though the weather was very bad, and the time so' short, all was procured by the zeal of the Magistrates, and the readiness of the inhabitants, who, though it rained in torrents, vent out to meet the troops, and contended for the honour of taking them to their houses, and affording them every assistance. The Prefect had procured 1100 pair of shoes, which he begged the columns to accept as a mark of the inte. restwhich the inhabitants take in their presentfatigues, and in the new dangers which they are going to incur .to deliver the French territory. The brigade of dra goons of General Spare passed the next day, and was received with the same attention. EXTRACT OF A LETTER TO M. DE LAFORCE, ADJUTANT COIIMANDANT, OFFICER. OF TUE LEGION OF HONOUR, AT MONTAUBAN. " Camp Wore Bayonne, January 28. 44 There has been no action here since the 13th of December ; it does not seem that the English have any mind to attack us. They lost such an immense Lumber of officers and soldiers in the last affair, that they have greatly. abated their pretensions of ad vancing. They suffer all kinds of privations; the difficulties which their vessels experience in approach. ing the coast, is the cause of their being often in want of subsistence. Four English deserters, whom I yes terday spoke to, confirm what I tell you. Want and distress make them desert daily. Our army is well provided ; half of the division work every day at the advanced posts of Bayonne, between the Nive and the Adour. They are in a condition to resist all the attack; of the English. These works are furnished with excellent and numerous artillery. There is not a single Spaniard in the line. • ' 4,6 There are no epidemical disorders in any of our hospitals. The theatre at Bayonne is open as usual. Some of those inhabitants whom fear had caused to remove, are returning to their houses. " The right bank of the A dour is lined w:th troops, who protect the navigation for conieying provisions for the army, and - for Bayonne. Our conscripts be have extremely well, and, evrcising dully, will in a few moothi be equal to old soldiers." dItACIZAM:OI PM! O. • r'"'"- • WlF,taitt e MINUARY 56. Aeterdiag to letters from Vicenza, dated the 18th, tee definitive declaration of the King of Naples, so long expected, has at length taken place. Wince Pignatelli, Mr. Graham, Lord Bentinck's Secretary, and Mr. Von Menz, the Austrian Charge d'Affaires at Naples, had that day arrived at the headquarters of Field Marshal liellegarde. Mr. Von Mena im mediately set out from thence to the head-quarters of the Emperor of Austria, with the treaty of alliance between Austria and Naples. The English have wade the necessary arrangements with regard to Si. cily. This new alliance has already had favourable effects on the operations of the Austrian army ; the Neapolitan troops have retired from Bologna,. which is now almost defenceless. The necessary prepara tions had been made for a general attack on the whole line of the French army. Mr. Graham was speedily to return to Lord William Bentinck, in Si cily. where an expedition was lying in readiness, pro bably destined against Genoa. Our Gazette announces 'the appointment of Count Mecrfeldt to be Austrian Ambassador at the Court of London. AMSTERDAM, FEBRUARY S. The Council of Commerce informs the merchants, that Lord Clancarty, the British Ambassador, has communicated ,to our Government, that his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, wishing on every occa sion to skew the greatest liberality towards Holland, as far as the interests of his Majesty's States will per ;nit, has declared, that the navigation and commerce between He Band and the old Dutch Colonies is opened, under the following stipulations : Aar. i. The navigation of Holland with the Colonies must be direct, and not circuitous. To prevent any abuse, licenses will be given by his Majesty's Minister at the Hague, or by the Eng lish Consuls at Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Ihe ports and co lonies to which the veswls'are about to repair, must be speeded in the licenses. 2. That this commerce may be placed upou the same footing u that between Great Britain and these colonies, duties shall be imposed on the articiel exported and imported from thence, equal to those paid in England on the same articles. 3. Licenses can only be graned to vessels belonging to Hol land, and manned with Dutch seamen. With regard to convoy, the Dutch vessels may avail themselves ,ol any Bridal% convoy, destined to protect the commerce of Great Britain ; and the Com manders of his Majesty's ships shall give orders that all legal protection be afforded to such Dutch vessels as shall sail under English convoy. The Prince Regent will always chew himself dis posed to grant every kind of assistance to any person who may be authorized by the Dutch Government to negociate treaties with the Barbary Powers. KIEL, JANUARY so. In pursuance of the article of the late treaty con cluded between Sweden and Denmark, the army the latter has undertaken to bring into the field is imme diately preparing to move. It consists principally of the Schleswyk Holstein troops, and they are com manded in chief by Lieutenant-General Von Hardroff, and under him are Generals Von Schnlenburg and Von 'Bassewitz. BRUSSELS, FEBRUARY 8. The day before yeaerday, General Bulow, with his Staff, composed of seven General Officers, ar rived, and the headquarters are now established here. They were last fixed at Leir, in the neighbourhood of Antwerp, where he has been succeeded by the Prince of Saxe Weimar, who now commands the hlocicading army, consisting of 14,000 men, by which the garrison of Antwerp is completely inclosed. Soon after the arrival of General Bulow, we had the high satisfaction of witnessing the entrance into our town, of a Deputation from the inhabitants of Ghent, who wore selected from the principal persons of that once opulent city. On presenting the keys of the place into the hands of General Bulow, they ad dressed hini in the following terms : ADDRESS OF THE CITIZENS OF GHENT. " GENERAL—The happy result of the efforts of the Allies have been the emancipation from slavery of the greater part of Europe, and although it has been the fate of the city of Ghent, not at so early a period as some others, t. feel the happy effects of the mea sures adopted for the freedom of mankind, the inha bitants are not on that account the less rejoiced at this constunmation. " If by the tyrannical conduct of the French Go vernment the once wealthy city of Ghent has beep reduced to poverty, the people who dwell there are far from repining at their lot, in which so many mil lions have parCcipated ; and their sufferings will tend to instruct them how highly they ought to appreciate their liberation. We have been deputed by our Fellow Citizens to deposit in your hands the keys of Ghent, and we do so with the per'ect assurance that you will watch over our interests, and secure us from the vengeance of our common enemy. The sentiments of patriotism we-would express are not felt only by ourselves, but by the entire population of the province to which we belong. The detestation of the French is only equalled by the love we bear to our deliverers, and whatever torte may be employed by the enemy to reduce our city, shall be received with that spirit which presump tion and injustice should excite." ANSWEIt OF GENERAI. BULOW. " GENTLEMEN—The spirit you have displayed is worthy of the cause in which you now are, with our selves, eugaged. I receive the keys of the city of Ghent in trust for those who have a right to com mand my services, and I will consult yuur security by immediately detaching a force to your city ade quate to protect it against the enemy, should he pre sume to interfere with your repose." Iti conformity with this reply, a Prussian force of 4000 men has this day marched to Ghent. PROCLAMATION. TO THE INHABITANTi. oF FHA \CHE COMTE, AND OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE VOSGES. " VESOUL, JANUARY 27, 66 The efforts of the high Allied Powers to con quer a safe and durable peace have brought their victorious armies into the midst of you. ,• Averse from all vengeance, which is wholly dissonant to their magnanimous wishes, they lament the unavoidable evils of war, and wish to lighten them towards the innocent victims of an unbounded ambition, Irk confo.rmity to this wish, so worthy in every respect of great Monarchs, they have given orders for establishiqg for 'you. it Gvneral Govern ment, which has been entrusted to me. •6 It is our duty to reply to their expectations. In the mean time, while I, on my side, with the same spirit which animates them, wren all my efforts fur your welfare, I have a right to eipett a similar re. turn from you. • I therefore order all the judicial and administrative Authorities, who have not deserted their posts, to continue in their functions, The High Allied Powers war .not against the laws; they wish to maintain them for the secarity of your persons and . property. They order that every one submit himself to the authorities, under the inspection of the general • Government, and tranquilly await the issue of events. - " Inhabitants of the Departments of the Upper Saone, of the Doubs, of Jere, and the Vosges, the severest punishments await such as may oppose the beneficial views of the Allied Monarchs; I feel insured that you will nut misconceive them. A twenty years war must have convinced you of the greet truth, that without rectitude and moderation, nothing can I,e stable. This so dearly piachased experience %via not be lost upon France. The cause of the High Allies, so visibly supported by Puovtuz:Nce, is your ow n .— •'They mill Onally. secure, not less for you, than for their own people, aso much wished-for peace, ar.l 'with gratitude shall you return thanks to the 4111.1t):1 of Out Mae.

We hare not yet received the official Accounts of the important victory gained over Bonaparte In per son, by the Silesian army at Brienne, on the Ist inst., but, in the mean time, an authentic abstract of this affair has reached ns. The enemy was posted at Dienville, Blienue, and Laronliere. The latter village was reckoned the key of his whole position. The corps pf Sackea, directed upon it, took it after a 'eyrie engagement, The French then returning with great reinf,rcements, headed by Napoleon himself, regained the position in part ; but at last, at ten at night, the whole place remained in the possession of the undaunted Russian troops. The opposition which the corps of Giulay met with at Dienville was still more obstinate. The battle there terminated only at midnight, though :0 the 44vntage of the Allies. Another village, and a wood adjoining. were, after various aliernatinns of success, taken and held by the Crown Prince of Villr• temburg, and after he had established his juncti,l with General Wrede, at Chanmenil, the victcry was complete. General Blucher was always in the hottest of the fight : a Cossack close to him was shut dead. The prisoners report that Napoleon had a horse killed under higi. Of the reserve which was brought up, only three battalions were engaged. On the 4th, the grand head-quarters were to be placed at Vendceuvre, two leagues from Troyes, and those of the Silesian army at Breaux-le-Comte. This important battle was preceded by the follow ing operations : MILITARY REPORT. " Head-quarters at Langres, Jan. q 6. " In consequence of orders issued to the' Crown Prince of Wurtemberg, and the General of cavalry Count Giulay, the enemy was attacked at midalay of the 24th, with their united force. The object of this important attempt was to obtain possession ut the town of Bar-stir-Aube, which was occupied by the greater part of the old guard, by other troops of the line, and a considerable artillery, all under the com mand of Marshal Mortier. General Christiani was also in the same line with Italian troops. 66 The enemy's advance was overthrown at all points, and pursued to the bridge over the Aube at Fontaine. There a diviion of the enemy's corps; nearly 12,000 strong, with ten pieces of cannon and four howitzers, was found stationed in a very advan tageous position, which overlooked the whole ground in front. The enemy endeavoured to avail himself of his advantages : he briskly attacked our troops under the command of General Giulay ; but was twice de feated by the brigade of Trenck, compose:Wkbe l:. fantry regiments of Ignatius Giulay an liArtassy, and pursued as far as Fontaine. The. nervy, aware of the importance of this point, which supports the communication between Bar-sur-Aube and Troyes, made every effort to unite there the whole force of his corps. . 44 At the same moment when General Giulay be gan his forward movement, the Crown Prince of Wurtemberg had attacked the enemy at Colombey, made himself master of that point, and pursued the enemy to Lignol. That position was also occupied, and the troops which were there retired to Rouvre, where the principal force of the enemy, supported by 20 pieces of cannon, stood posted on advantageous ground. His Royal Highness contented hi mselt with successfully cannonading the enemy, to give his troops the necessary time to assemble. The enemy, how ever, alarmed . by the events .of the preceding day, evacuated Bar-sur-Aube in the night, and rented upon Chalons and Troyes. Count Giulay took pos. B,ssi. n of B.r-sur-Aube next day. " The enemy's loss was considerable: two Colo nels were found dead on the tield. Italian and Bra bant deserters, whose number increases every hour, left the enemy's ranks during the fight. We hive LP lament the loss of Major Keck, of the regiment of Ignatius Giulay, who tell gloriously in the perf am once of his duty. Our loss is inconsiderable when compared with that of the enemy, and considering the great importance of tee objects attained. The loss of the enemy could not be less than 2,0',.)0 men, principally of the Old Guard, who had already tought against us. In this view it is hardly repairable. " All our troops fought with equal spirit and va.- lour. Count Giulay pra:sus especially Field Marshal Lieutenant Fresnel, M ijor-Generals Czoich and Trenck, Colonels Kinsky, Prince Hooenloe, Etc. 44 En Fort Joux, which surrendered on the 16.1 1 286 men were made prisoners, besides the Comma% dant and six officers. We found in it 10 cannon, 4 mottars, more tnan 6000 bombs, and cannon-halls of various calibre, 495 muskets, 2 quintals of musket , balls, 10,000 infantry cam idges, '2 qiiiiitai.; cf cart ridges for sharp-shooters, and 390 quintals of gun powder. " Lieutenant-Colonel Count 'Mem has, in the 1, , . cinity of Oisy, on the road from Langres to Dijon, taken a train of twenty three waggons, laden with ammuni,ion, destined for Metz. One of the wag gons was blown up during the skirmish. The escor', which consisted of a party of the 14th light home, was sabred or made prisoners. Count Thorn inces- Lsati!ly pursues the enemy on the road of Chatillen. ."
