es• ~, to the new levies which are , flying from' all parts to ive the enemy from the land of the ancient Gauls, and maintain the integrity of the empire within its natural limits—such as they have even been acknow ledged by the enemies themselves. France entire shall have for rallying cry.—' livrance cfieTerritoire P In vain, Sire, have the enemy conceived the in jurious hope of dividing the nation. To the hatred and animosity with which the fear of your genius in spires them, your faithful subjects will oppose their love and confidence, which the vicissitudes of lortune have not destroyed. y e s, Sire, the indissoluble union of the nation vicl the Sovereign, shall cause the fleeting infideli ties of victory to cease ; and, collected round you, Frenchmen shall again be triumphant. Proud of the august trust which you have con fided to our faith, the inhabitants of all classes, com posing the national guards of the good city of Paris, animated with the same spirit, penetrated with the sa me sentiments, will defend your capital against ; , tra ngers, and your throne against all the efforts of ii kinds of enemies. They are ready with their bodies round that throne, where le free choice of the nation has placed your Majesty and your Dynasty, to the duration of are attached the glory, the salvation, and the repose of France. 4 , In receiving the Crown, Sire, you also received our oaths; we now renew them at the feet of your Majesty, at the feet of the revered wife, so worthy o f your love and of ours, and before the cradle of your august son. _ _ _ 44 NIAD.\mE —We entreat your Majesty to be pleased to convey the expression of our sentiments to the foot of the throne of your august husband." [Here follows a long list of signatures.] Her Majesty the Empress replied— " Gentlemen, Officers of the National Guard of Pari:—l participated the • sentiments which the Em peror experienced when speaking to you. Like him, I have an entire confidence in your. courage, your devotion, and your fidelity. " I shall give orders fur your Address being trans titted without delay to the 'Emperor." PARIS, JANUARY 27, Lord Castlereagh arrived on the 17th at Arnheim. He dined in that town, and immediately after conti nued his journey for the Head-quarters of the Allies. His Majesty was to arrive the day before yesterday at Chalon-sur•Marne. The camp at Nogent-sur- Seine had been removed to Arcis-sur-Aube. The different corps of troops are concentrating. His Excellency the Duke of Bassano, Minister Secretary of State, has set out to join the Emperor at his headquarters. JANUARY 28.—We have received accounts kom his M4jesty the Emperor. He arrived at Chalons sur•Mame on the 26th. We are assured his Majesty afterwards proceeded still further. Yesterday and to-day many old troops coming from the south of France arrived in Paris. They are in a superb state. s VersaiUes is crowded with troops, among which are remarked many cavalry. JANUARY 29.—The Marshal Duke of Treviso daily receives reinforcements. During. the last four days, at least 10,000 excellent troops and much artillery, have reached Nogent, and we arc informed that the roads from Sens to Troyes, are covered with troops. It is probable the enemy will be obliged to retrograde upon Langres by very bad roads. We have had a very brilliant affair at the bridge of Fontaine, between Bar-sur-Anbe and Chaumont. The enemy at least lost 6000 men in it. The wounded French are at Nogent ; the greater part of them are but slightly so, and soon hope to re. pin their colours. We yesterday, announced the entry of the national guards from Tournees and Chalons, in Macon. It was on the 24th that Marshal the Duke of Tre viso was attacked by the enemy. Our troops occu pied the village of Fontaine ; and although they were Inferior in number to the asssailants, they repulsed 011 their attacks ; we remained masters of the field ta l battle. The enemy's loss in killed or wounded is %laid to be considerable. This first. advantage has elect;ified our brave men, who were burning to try their strength with the enemy, and drive them from the French territory. JANUAiIt SO.—Letters which have to-day arrived from the army state, that after the affair of St. Dizier, his Majesty advanced beyond 'Jassy. I.etters from Rhetil announce, that his Excellency the Duke of Tarente has just entered that town, with the troops which ate under his orders :—it is thought he will march from the side of Chalons. The French army, commanded by his Majesty the Emperor, attacked the enemy at St. Dizier on the '27th, at five o'clock in the morning ; he has been overthrown, and we have taken some prisoners from him. The attack of our troops was so brisk, that the enemy had not time to blow up the bridge. A great part of the enemy's artillery has got en tangled in a forest, having taken a bad route from St. Dizier to Mitirender. Nancy is thus delivered.— The Emperor continues his movements upon the rear *of the enemy, with a fine and good army. The advanced guard of the French army was on the evening of the 27th at Vassy. The army under the orders of the s Duke of Treviso d. ti THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1814.

P.tris Papers to the Ist inst. were received last night. They isform us that BONAPARTE has joined his army in the vicinity of Chalons-sur-Marne. At St: bizier, considerably in , advance from that place, it is pretended that he has overthrown the enemy and taken some prisoners. All this is very vague.—On the 27th, the advanced guard of the Fretich army was at Vassey, which is still farther in advance to wards Nancy, which place they are said to have re lievgd.--The first object of 13oaitemtra seems to be, to prevent a junction between the armies of Marshal BLUCHER and Prince Smiwaarzsamtao, and he will, cf course, attack the first of these corps which ap pears in his front. We trust, however, that those Heroes were able to form a junction long before the 27th. In the meAn time Paris is left exposed—a cir cumstance which is once more unequivocally admit ted in several articles in the Paris Papers. A great outcry is raised against the bad faith of the British Government, in not closing with BONA PARTE long ago, upon the terms concerted with Lord ABERDEEN. The way in which this charge is pub lished is a specimen of their own bad faith : it ap pears as if extracted from a suppressed or double Moniteur, of ,the 20th of January ; but is evidently an article produced upon the spur of the occasion, upon finding that the Allies were not precisely so anxious as BONAPARTE to patch up a Peace. This paper contains the Proclamation of the Al-. lies, dated Frankfort, December 1 ; Prince Schwan zenberg's Proclamation to the French people, and Blucher's Proclamation to the inhabitants of the left bank of the Rhine; the Report of Baron de Saint Aignau, and a correspondence between Count Met ternich and the Dukes of Bassano and Vicenza. This correspondence. relates to thee opening of a congress for negotiation, at which Vicenza was to be received . as Ambassador from France: it doses with a letter from Count Metternich to Vicenza, ex cusing the necessary delay in furnishing his passports. The following is the last passage : 44 The Court of London has caused the Secretary of State of Foreign Affairs to set out for the Continent. His Majesty the Emperor of Russia being at present absent, and Lord Castlereagh being expected from one moment to another, the Empefor, my august Master, and his Majesty the King of Prussia, have charged me to inform your Excellency, that you shall, as soon as possible, receive an answer to your proposition of re pairing to the head-quarters of the Allied Sovereigns." Baron St. Aignau says, in his report to his Govern ment on the 9th November, that 64 Count Metternich assured him that the greatest moderation prevailed in the Councils of the coalesced Powers; that nothing was intended against the dynasty of Napoleon'; that England was much more moderate than was thought, and that there never was a more favourable moment for treating with her; that he was afterwards intro duced to Lcird Aberdeen, who reiterated to him the assurance that England was ready to make the greatest sacrifices ; that she possessed much, and would give up bountifully ; that the coalesced Sove reigns were willing that the Rhine, the Alps, and the Pyrenees should form the natural boundary of France; but that France must renounce her influence in Ger many ; the old dynasty established in Spain ; Austria have a frontier in Italy, to be settled by negotiations ; that even Holland should be an object of negotiation ; and that England was ready to make the greatest sa orifices for a peace founded on these bases, and to of.' knowledge the liberty of commerce and of naviga• Lion, to which France had a right to pretend. In another part of our Paper will. be found the American Embargo Act at full length. It fully justifies our conjectures as to the continuance of an unrelenting spirit of hostility in the American Go ' vernment, notwithstanding their affected moderation. If they were sincerely desirous of Peace, they would never have suffered this additional ground of irrita tion to be promulgated. We l klo not, of course, ob ject to their making increased exertions to carry on hostilities vigorously by sea and land at the same moment, with an offer of .negotiation, because it is the usual policy of all belligerents, but, to exhibit an illiberal spirit of jealousy and envy of our superiority, on such an occasion, is unworthy of the policy of an enlightened State. It can only retard the final con clusion of an amicable arrangement, and be produc. tive of those very obstacles to which Mr. Mnruson alludes in Mr. MONROE'S, dispatch to Lord CASTLE. REAGR. The American Papers contain a Report fromecein• MOdare DECATUR, in which be complains that he - Inkl been prevented in several attempts to put t 0 straAtoin New London, by traitors on shore, who, wh enever he made the experiment, threw up flue lights as a signal to the enemy. The sight of the enemy must necessarily produce a visit from the Hue Devils to this gallant Commodore. Perhaps he wishes to tread in the footsteps of Commodore RODGERS, who, in a recent dispatch to his Government, prided himself upon getting out of the way whenever the enemy hove in sight. There is a rumour in the City that a battle was fought on the 31st ult. between BONAPARTZ and the Allies, in which the former claims the victory. It is founded upon the authority of persons who are said to have left the French coast on Thai sday. Soon after three o'clock yesterday his Royal High ness the PRINCE REGENT held a Court at Carlton- House. After the usual ceremonies his Royal High ness held a Privy Council, which was attended by The Lord President, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Privy Seal, the First Lord of the freasury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Master-General of the Ordnance, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, the President of the Board of Controul, the Lord Steward of the Household, the Comp troller of the Household. ------- --- The ceremony of pricking the nominated list of Sheriffs was gone through, and a proclamation agreed to be issued respecting the services of the Marines. His Royal Highness gave audiences to the Arch bishop of CANTERBURY, the Earl of HARROWBV, the Earl of LIVERI")OL, the Earl of CHOLUONDtLEY, and the Earl of BUCKINGIIANISIORE. Ciiierws•vo anti Mr. Bumps aueu4ed as Clerks of the Council. The Marital of HEADFORT was the Lord in waiting. Sir Wu. KEPPEL was the Groom in Waiting, in the room of the Hon. Mr . HERBERT, who was prevented from attending hi" duty, owing to the death of his brother, the Rev. Mr. Hituaater, who died on Tuesday.—The Court broke up about half-past five o'clock. Mr. HENRY ADDINGTON, who has been under or ders to return to the Continent since Wednesday, was to set out last night on his way to Kid, with the rati fication of the Treaty of Peace with Denmark. He will, we understand, after having exchanged the rati fication with the Danish Minister, proceed immedi ately to join the CROWN PRINOE, wherever his Royal Highness may be. Dituity-LaNe;—The Comedy of Wild Oat: was acted here last night, and was given out for repre sentation again on Wednesday next amidst loud ap plause. • The piece itself (one of O'Xaere's) is full of gaiety, whim, and incident ; and a play more per fectly acted in every part, rarely indeed have we wit nessed. We need only mention the names of MuN- MtN, BANNISTER, DOWTON, ELLISTON, MTS. GLOVER, and Mrs. URGER, and say that we never saw them to more advantage. Of the excellency of KNIGHT'S acting in Sins, the country lad, it is impossible to form any adequate idea without seeing it. COVENT-GARDEN. —The Tragedy of Juliet Cesar was represented at this Theatre yesterday evening ; and, as the character of Brutus was personated by Mr. KEMBLE, the House was, consequently, much crowd ed.—But there was another point of attraction, which, if not equal, at least of an importance in the next im mediate degree, and that was the return of Mr. YOUNG to his public duties ;n this Theatre. On Mr. YouNG's arrival from Manchester yesterday after noon, a notification. was !minted, and affixed at the several doors' of the Theatre, signifying that Mr. YOUNG would resume the part of Caul:tr.—On the merits of Mr. KEMBLE, in the character of the noble minded Brutes, we have frequently had occasion to deliver our opinion, which was not changed by his exertions last night. There is a certain grandeur of demeanour which is visible in Mr. KEMBLE'S repre sentation of an ancient Roman of dignity, which no other actor bath possessed within our recollection.-- . His inherent love fur the liberties of the Republic were finely blended with his manly unwillingness to take off Cesar by an act of assassination, arid the con. sent which he gave at last to join with the conspira tors in this fatal deed, was marked by such workings of the spirit as it might be supposed that such a man would be actuated by who " Did nothing in bate, but all in honour." • Mr. YouNG imparted to Cassius a vet,' great portion of just feeling, and in the act of seducing Brutus to lend his great name to his bloody enterprise, he proved himself a master of the art of persuasion. The emphatic wanner in which be denounced Cesar " As bestriding the world, Like a Colossus, while mcn, like them, were only permitted to look up, and wonder, was ably insinuated.—Mr. CONWAY played Mari Anthony with spirit ; and delivered the celebrated Oration, over the body of Cesar, with much discrimination, and feeling--Mr. EcntaTots looked and enacted Cesar with dignity and manliness .

"The MAJESTIC cut down 74 is just come into the Sound, with an account of having captured the Pre sident, American frigate, and that ComModore RODGERS was killed." every day receives new rdnforeements. These details are authentic. The • inhabitants of Paris manifest the greatest energy in the defence of their city, and the preserva tion of the precious monuments it contains. The national guard is organized ; it is composed of landholders and citizens interested in maintaining 1 public order. France has risen—she is armed—the roads in the neighbourhood of Paris are covered with troops they are hourly and continually passing through our city—all proceed towards our army, to drive the enemy from the provinces which he has invaded. LYONS, JANUARY 22. The enemy has been driven from all his advanced posts ; he is in full retreat. ANTWERP, JANUARY 23. General Maison has returned to this town.'He has brought back such of his troops as he did not dispose of for the defence of Liege and Namur. The enemy has made no movement. We have taken advantage to complete the works in advance of Antwerp. Our situation (daily im- proves. CHALONS, JANUARY 2R. It is reported here, that the enemy is falling back upon Langres. We are assured that he attempted to seize upon Ligoy, near Bar-sur-Ornain, and was vigorously repulsed by our troops, after experiencing a loss of 2500 men.

But as the Queen lugger of this port was going out with an anchor and cable, she ran upon the advanced work of the pier head and sunk--the crew with some difficulty were saved. r.e Thomas and Elizabeth of Brnadstairs, being near, her people took the anchor and cable on board, and though they made the ship for which they were intended, the storm had then so increased that it was impossible to pat them on board of her ; they then made for Broad. stairs, but through the inclemency of the night, it was with difficulty they reached that place, with the crew so overcome with cold, that one of them, Hills, died, and four others are hardly expected to recover. Very little damage was done either to our harbour or town. Lord Mum= gave a grand dinner yesterday, at his house in the Admiralty.
