The me. my made a sortie against the position at Rothenzee, but our brave troops drove them back with consider , able lop, Some officers and 140 prisoners were taken, and a great number killed and wounded. AMSTERD kM, FEBRUARY IR. t-lis Royal Highness the Sovereign Prince of the United Netherlands, has given a distinguishing proof of gratitude and esteem to General Bulow. Mr. Fagel has arrived at head-quartets, bringing a most valuable sword of honour for him. The young Prince of Orange delivered it with his own hand to the Conqueror of Grashorn and Dennewitz. The in scription on the sword is " Arnheim, Gorcurn, and Bois.le-Duc-..-new proofs of Prussian valour.". This present is accompanied with a portion of one thou sand ducats. 13REMEN, FEWIARY 11. The latest accounts from the army in Denmark state, that the force intended to assist the Allies has passed the frontiers of. Holstein. According to ac counts from Copenhagen, the King has been obliged to issue a new paper.currency, under the title of •' Credit Certificates," and to the amount of 5,0u0,000 of ri7t dollars. They are to be redeemed, reckoning from 1815, in six years. The security for both interest and capital is to be assigned from the royal lands and forests in the Danish Provinces. One of the stipulations of the treaty between Swe den and Denmark is, that no change shall be made in the States of Pomerania, without the consent of the people. EffENCH PA PERS. PROCLAMATION. FROM MS PiCKLLENCT THE MARSHAL DUKE OP RADUSA r tO THE OiIIABITAXTS OF THE INVADED DEPARTMENTS. Glorious successes have just crowned the French inns. More than 100 Russian and Prussian regi menu have been-beaten, annihilated, destroyed, in the battles of Champ-Aubert i Moatmirail, Chateau. Thierrmad Vanchamp ; 20,000 prisoners, 180 pieces of.cannun,_ two Oenerafs in Chiet killed or mortally "'minded; . ate.the trophies of these days. The Em peror in person is pursuing the enemy, and will not' mop dh his destruction shall have been completed. It rs at this moment that all Frenchmen should fly to arms, to hasten by all possible means, the deli irerance of the country. The moment has arrived when no consideration ought to prevent your exertion, as never were circumstances more favourable for making strangers repent having soiled by their pre sence the Froch land. Fly to Arms ; make all weak detachments, all isolated men prisoners ; do not furnish any means of subsistance to the enemy ; destroy all the bridges which might he useful in his retreat, whilst we shall precipitate his flight. You have arms; but those who want them will find abundance upon the fields of battle, abandoned by the enemy. The Frenchman, born proud and warlike, cannot without shame sup port the dominion of a stranger; and I repeat it, never was there a more favourable moment for treeing and revenging your selves. GOD protects France ; this is an adage of our monarchy, and is founded upon the courage, the energy, and the love of the country which he has placed in the hearts of all Frenchmen. At my head.quarters, Etoges, 15th Feb. 1814. (Signed) Marshal the Duke of RAGINE. PARIS, FEBRUARY 21.

The Auckland Packet, which has arrived at Har wich from the Dutch Coast, brings a most distressing account of the fate of several of the transports, laden with ordnance stores for Sir THOMAS GRAHAM, that sailed about ten days since ; three of them are lost and several stranded, or drifting about, and the Dutch coast is represented as covered with powder barrels, or•other fragments of ordnance stores; the Thetis bye boat which sailed some time ago, has also re turned without being able to land the staff horses, which were shipped on board. By our letters from Dover, we are informed, that the Hon. Mr. ROBIXSON ,embarked yesterday morning at eleven o'clock, on board the NYMPH hired armed cutter, carrying a Flag of Truce, for Calais. The wind was so favourable, that it was be lieved the Nymph would reach that port by four P.m, Mr. ROBINSON took his own carriage with him, and by this, time is well on his journey to Chatillon. We shall not abuse the Public by pretending to a knowledge of the contents of the important dispatches of which be is the bearer. That we shall leave to !some of our contemporaries, who know more about these things, if we credit their own statements, than even the Ministers themselves. One thing, however, we may believe, having the high authority of these papers for doing so, that thew dispatches do not contain any declaration that Britain will never, under any circumstances, treat With the 'French Government; or any cowsongold to our Allies" to. 'state term of Peace only ifs Parit! nor any'en kagement to restore the Bouartrs to .the Throne of France, —nor,-in a word, any one of all the mad pm jects and resolutions which these Prints, from day to day, have been giving, from tke highest authoritfhlit the determination of the Ministers of the British Cabinet. Will the public be gurpiised to learn, after the notice we hay.e before taken of some of these state.' ments, that the Negotiations for Peace are con. . tinued, and, coniequently,•that it is possible we may , soon hear of some kind of b*sis having been agreed, upon ? Certainly not. Indeed, we cannot believe that men of common understanding could ever have been brought to credit assertions so full of contradictions and absurdities—, imputing a line of conduct to Ministers, which, never could be conceived but on the improbable supposition that all of them were struck with insanity. On this we need not dwell at present, but it would be improper not to notice the tone adopted by those to 'whom we have alluded, now that they find them selves obliged to let out the truth to their Readers. Do they own their own folly ? do they attempt to do justice to our own Cabinet or to the Allies ? On the contrary, they arraign their measures, covertly censure their warriors, and bewail that their Rea ders, that Statesmen, that BONAPARTE, that the laws of Nature herself, will not conspire to convert the visions and chimeras of their awn bewildered ima, ginations into indubitable realities. What is the end of all legitimate war but tosecure peace? To talk as if none but one of the parties were to have a voice in stipulating the terms, is the same thing as to declare a war of extermination ; and in the present ease, is to recommend and applaud that very line of conduct which has been so justly re probated in another, and which, in fact, has procured the of Europe against him. Success, far be yond the most sanguine hopes that could have been entertained only a few months ago, has attended their operations ; and peace, it would appear, may • now In obtained on terms which, in former periods, would have been reckoned highly advantageous. But is it not desirable that the Tyrant should be destroyed? Yes: but that is not the only question to be deter. mined. None can exult with More sincerity than ourselves at every disaster that has overtaken the fiend, nor more truly bewail any successes that he has at any time obtained ; but we are not of the num. ber of those who would recommend risking the loss of all t h at has been acquired, by a fpol-kardy hazard. meat of. a rupture of the alliance. Our minds, however, are easy on this point, but we do confess it would have teen far otherwise, could we ever have believed tint Ministers had for a mo ment entertained such sentiments and projects at have been imputed to them. The fact is, the Negn ciations never have been broken off, but, in the mean time, each party has been tr mg, by fighting to commmand better term: ; peed we wonder, in this view of the matte', at Inf. .mderful exertions that baye been made by lO' AP ‘ItTE : he has every thing at stake. but let as also recollect how much the Allies, with armies so mach in ad vance in an enemy's territory, have also at stake. • • . ~, • The stake oft both sides is too great to be decided by the shallow politics of those who arrogahtly take upon them to arraign Ministers for not befog guided. 'by their Counsels, and istduted to &chits to, instead of advising, other independent states. It is happy for this country--happy for mankind, that wiser counsels preside over our affairs. The luggage of the Duke of CUMIERLAND, which has been procured agreeably to his Royal Highness's directions to enlarge his establishment, and for his own private use, was removed yesterday from the Foreign Office to proceed to Harwich. Mr. Me..

They take with them letters from the Queas and PRINCESSES to his Royal Highness. Tuesday the Duke of Lemma. left Glasgow for Lord KOINAIRD'S seat in Perthshire.

It will be recollected that the Embargo . Law passed on the 17th of Decefnber". A severe action, it appears, took place near Ham. burgh on, the 9th. An article from Bremen, of, the 18th, says, " the French General Ost:crt, and another officer of the same rank, were badly woumlect, and I have since died of their wounds. We have taken one thousand prisoners, twelve pieces of artillery, forty l barreis of gunpowder, about 30,0(X) cartridges, be sides 100 hogsheads of wine and brandy, for the' use of the garrison, which were destroyed." Extract of a Letter from Sydney (New South Wales), dated June 30th, 1813:—« The Colony of New South Wales is in so flourishing a condition that 'a Memorial has been forwarded br the principal in habitants through the Governor to his Majesty's Mi nisters, praying, among other privileges, permission to distil from their surplus grain, and to export floor from thence to Great Britain ; and pointing nut that there is no farther necessity for any salt meat being sot thither, as the Colony can furnish fresh beef, pork, and mutton at a cheaper rate. It appears also that the growers of fine wool in the Colony. consider th e n they are enabled to vie with Spain in the quality, st-ttot the quantity of produce, which, however, is grently increasing." A British sailor who lately made his escape froM Amiens (to which place he had tteen removed from Besancon), reached town yesterday„ '4 shipmate and himself became possessed of the rope belonging.to a draw-well, which they threw over the wall of their prison, and so let themselves down. When once they were at liberty no question was asked them, except such as tended to forward their means of escape. After much fatigue they reached Bruges, and some British vessels being off the coast, in that quarter, one of them, which had sent a boat on shore, con veyed the prisoners to their native shore. Admiral YOUNG, before whom they were ordered to appear, gave both the seamen their disclulrge, in pity of their recent sufferings and long previous imprison ment, Several hundreds of the British prisoners had found means to make their escape, the diffi culty of accomplishing such attempts being in a great degree removed, by the present confused state of France. Another prisoner who has also reached town states, that he was at Nancy, when General BLUCHER was expected to arrive there. The British were, in consequence, ordered farther into the interior, but he and some others hid themselves in the town, in the probable hope of being soon relieved by the Accordingly, the day following, Marshal BLUCHER arrived, when the prisoners all came from their hiding places. As soon as it was ascertained that they were British subjects, the General gave them their liberty, and facilitated their 'means of getting home. The prisoners unite in representing the very great difficulty which exists in obliging the conscripts to join the French army. At Nancy about2oo were assembled in a body with much difficulty, andweremarched outof the, town by beat of drum, attended only•by a small escort. No sooner had they passed the suburbs than they began to disperse, and the drummer buy was soon left with only the escort and about twelve men, out of the 200. An Officer, who arrived at Exeter a few days since from Lord WELLINGTON'S army, says, that since the late unfavourable weather and bad state of the ground had impeded the progress of their movements, two or three petits of fine hounds had afforded the Officers some pleasant and active recreation. About ten days ago, the Noble Marquis, with several Officers, had a grand fox-hunt, when, after a long chace, ;And Rey. iiard was upon the point of surrendering at discretion, he suddenly dashed through the French piquets, and by this unexpected manoeuvre eluded his pursuers and secured his retreat.
