(Signed) W. Ho STZ, Captain. . ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, JAN. 8, 1814. - Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Pellew has transmitted to Jolla Wilson Croker, Esq. a letter from Captain Dickson, of his Majesty's ship Swiftsure, repotting the capture, off Cape Rousse, in the island of Corsica, on the 26th _of 'November, of the French schooner privateer Charlemagne, of eight guns and 93 men, by the boats of - the above ship, under the directions of Lieutenant William Smith. The schooner had sailed from Genoa twenty-four days before, stored for a six months' cruize, and was availing herself 'her sweeps to escape from the Swiftsure, when the boats were dispatched in pursuit of her. On their approach the enemy made every preparation for resistance, and reserved their fire till the boats had opened theirs, when they returned it in the most determined manner for some minutes, until the vessel was boarded on the bow and quarter, and instantly carried. Captain Dickson commends in very high terms, the gallantry of all the officers 'and men employed in, the boats. Mr. Joseph Douglas, Midshipman, and four sea men were killed ; and Lieutenants Fuller and Har vey, Lieutenant Thompson i of the marines, Mr. Field, Midshipman, and eleven seamen, wounded. The loss of the enemy was about equal ; the first and second captains of the privateer (both nttinnii officers) were severely wounded. ‘'' 4' Extract of a Letter from Capt. Farquhar, of His Majesty's shfit . Desiree, to J. W. Croker, Esq. dated off Gluckstadt, Dec, 2S, 1813. I have to acquaint their Lordihips, that on Sun day the 19th inst, 1 was made acquainted by letter from Capt. Marshall, of his Majesty's sloop . Sham rock, that a detachment of the Swedish army was advancing towards Gluckstadt, I determined to move up next morning with his Majesty's ship Desiree and Blazer, but the weather was so extremely thick that it was impossible to move ; the same day I received another communication from Capt. Marshall, that Stoar battery, a little below Gluckstadt, was attacked by the Swedes, when the enemy set fire to the gun carriages, spiked their guns, and retreated into the town. I therefore resolved to proceed up the river that night in a gun-boat, and ordered the frigate and brig to come up as soon as the weather should clear, and they arrived this morning . PROCLAMATION rut ALLIED POWERS to ries FRACNCII NATION. Eassantu 1-. Victory has conducted the Allied Armies to your frontier : they are about to pass it. We do not make war upon France ; but we repel fai from us the yoke which your Government wished to impose upon our respective countries, which have the sane rights to iodesodenee and happiness as rues. Magistrates, landholder:, cultivate*, •remain at your homes. The maintenance of public order, re sett fot private property, the most severe discipline, shall characterise the progress od the stay of the Al lied Armies. They are not animated by the spirit of vengeance ; they wish not to retaliate upon France the numberless calamities with which France, for the last twenty years, overwhelmed her neighbours, and the most distant obuntries. Other principles and other views than those which led your armies among us,preside over the counsels of the Allied Monarchs. Their glory will consist in having put the speediest period to the misfortunes of Europe. The only conquest , which is the object of their ambition is that of peace ; but at the same time a peace which shall secure to their own people, to France, and to Europe, a state of real repose. We hoped to find it before touching the soil of France. We come thither in quest of it. ' The Marshal Prince SCHWARTZENBERG, j Commanding in Chief she Grand Allied Army . Head-quarters, Lcerrach, Dee. 81, 1813. FRENCH PAPEAS. PARIS. DEC. V. His Majtsty has been pleased to confide the chief command of the army sif reserve, assembling at Tu rin, to his Royal "Highness Prince Camille, Governor General of the Departments beyond the Alps. PARIS, DEC. 30. France, particularly ler these last twenty years, resembles that power Whose genius Moatesquieu has so well described; the same splendour in success, the same firmness in reverses, the same celeritt in repair ing them and effacing them by triuraphs. She may be vanquished, because fortune has unexpected changes : she cannot be subdued, because the charac ter of the inhabitann, new tempered by such severe trials, has imbibed a new degree of boldness and firm ness. . In 1792 innumerable hosts of foreigners, attracted by the hopes of profiting by our dissentions, and of seizing on our spoil, inundated our territory, and ar rived without obstacle in the plains of Champagne. hied neither magazines nor army, nor celebrated Generals, nor plan oh defence; the drums were beat ing in Paris to call the citizens to arms, when the enemy was less than forty leagues from that capital. A Minister said at that time, we must have a Pro clamation which will make 80,000 men march out fliU Paris to-morrow, or we are ruined. In such an exn , - :laity one wsuld have thought that the Allies had only to make a military promenade to reach the centre of all our resources; yet victory confounded their proud hopes. We have not forgotten, that the old troops of Frederick were too happy in not justifying, by their destruction; the saying of a King of Sardittr4, famous for his talents, I know many ways to enter France, but not one to get out of it." Not contented with repulsing the enemy, our aro levies pursued him in their turn, and rushed opal Belgium, when, by a degree of courage which old troops, perhaps, would not have shewn, they obtained e larilleane advantages. All retired before us. reTtuelveakness of i Government, attacked on all .fit ; l different opinions, internal struggles, the contests of two parties, issuing from a common source, and for that very reason inveterate against each other, 'brought on a kind of-dissolution of France, and vic tories were succeeded by defeats. Let an attentive observer recollect the battle of Neerwenden, and all that _followed shortly after the flight of Dumourier—perfidious Generals--a disor ganized army, calling out treason, and lessening every day by desertion; formidable and disciplined enemies, who pursued them ivith rancorous bitter ness ; our frontiers threatened And soon invaded ; within, a civil war, which, like a dreadful canker, was going to devour the richest provinces of France : discord every where throwing her firebrands, and an assembly, in which fermenting passions unnerved the lgovernment which it had created : such was the state our country. Wbo would have believed that France, reduced to such an extremity, could resist all Europe conspired against her ? It is true, that like klion, which, while be overturns his enemies, lashes his own sides with his tail, she cruelly mutilated herself ; but at length 'ale resisted all, even the paroxysms of her own rage; and far from undergoing the disgrace of receiving laws from foreigners, she more than once dictated them, and made herself respected by those Powers who had designed to divide ancient Gaul awns themselves, as they had unfortunate Poland. - A change of government, a trial always dangerous for a nation, the excess of passions contrary to those which had so long exalted the French, having produ ced a fatal relaxation in all the parts of the social ,body, new misfortunes, added to a terrible dearth; again menaced our country with ruin. Yet it was frOm this state of debasement that she rose to the im mortal glory of our triumphs in Italy. History will tell how the conqueror and pacificator of these fine-countries arrived by a miracle to recover them and to save France ; in what a state of debase ment we were after the defeat of Scherer, the death of General Joubert, and the loss of the battle of Novi : at these two epochs, in which the same genius saved us from the disasters arising from the weakness of the Government, and our intestine dissesions, there is something in the rapid change of our fortune which confounds the imagination. Our enemies, witnesses of the prodigies which have repaired the losses occasion ed by a dreadful inclemency of the season, vanquish ed in four pitched battles, even during this campaign, owing their last advantage only to treason, crushed at the battle of Hanau, where only the humanity of the Emperor saved their soldiers, who begged their lives, are,acquainted with our strength and resources, and tear them. If they come to attack us on our own soil, it is not because they trust to the power of their arms, it is because they hope to disunite us. During the course of the revolution, they never obtained any success, except when we were disunited, and when the nation did not go along with the Government. The years 1792, 1793, the year 3, the year 7, attest this truth. Noi'v, after having been favoured last year by an ex traordinary event, how have they succeeded in ren dering memorable victories useless ? By sowing di visions between our allies and us. In vain would they have poured forth torrents of soldiers against us : they would finally have sunk in the struggle. They were sensible of this, and involuntarily applying to themselves this verse of a modern tragedy, they fear our Envoys, not our soldiers," they spun dark ,intrigues in the Courts of some Princes, and led them to shameful - perfidies. Then, and only then, we saw ,Victory unfaithful to our standards : she re turned to us at the battle of Hanau, as if to shoe to mankind that Justice is not always lame— and that she sometimes strikes with the rapidity of lightning. Artifices and divisions' have been the most powerful auxiliaries of the Allies during this campaign. They bring to France - the means by which they have succeeded in Europe. They have separatedfrom us Princes who owed every thing to us. They come to try to separate the French trom the Government, which is the soul of every thing.— Yes, it is the hope of dividing us, which alone sup ports the rash enterprise of the Allies. They know t that a people without a Government, and an arm y without a leader, are at the mercy of whoever seek their ruin. This thought cfirects all the attacks of their artful policy. An hundred thousand mrn more, said one of theii. most distinguished agents, and do not give the Frenclt the Emperor for their General—we shall triumph, The Allies in the same manner say to themselves; - let us separate Franee from the Government, the will fall an eesy prey toils." Happily their wishes in this respect cannot have - any success. France re members that the Emperor saved her—France knows he hand which closed the wounds of civil war, and reconciled all parties—France knows that a people which should be wanting in fidelity to its Prince and to its Government, in the, midst of imminent dangers ask dd expect only shaine and misfortunes from such tC fault. France feels her dignity ; she knows that it is intended to prescribe lawn to her, to reduce her to disgrace, and to despoil her, after having deceived her by artful words. Thus, far from lending an ear .to perfidious insinuations, she will answer to the Allies :—Retire from our territory, or we will crush your soldiers; their presence insults us, their excesses revolt us,and teach us what we ought to expect from your hypocritical 'protestations. You have reckoned ou our divisions, and you are deceived. There will be among us only one spirit, one desire, one will ; that is to make you speedily repass that river which you ought not t 3 have passed, if there had been any moderation in your preteri t dons. Finally, you will find all the French collected round their monarch for their common defence. SAINT DIE, DEC. 9,5.
