On the 6th he ad vanced towards Kendioude, whither the Duke of Dalmatia had proceeded ; there was a brisk discharge of musketry, but tho bad state of the roads rendered the movements of the artillery so difficult, that .this alfair had no result. It is, however, certain that the English had a great number wounded, and that our late movements hdve compelled the enemy to renounce all their preparations for the passage of the Adour. The National Guards of this Department, in prOvi sional activity, have made a forward movement. A part of them are at Irrisari, under the direct orders' of General Harispe. The rest have been sent to St. Jean Pied.cle-Port, under the orders of General Blon deau. According to the accounts which we have re ceived from the districts that have been occupied by the enemy, and particularly from La Bastide, they committed every kind of excess whilst they remained there. They took from the inhabitants even their last mors,l of bread, and plundered them of their linen and every other article that was portable. Some of the soldiers, on falling in with the peasants in the fields, robbed them of their shoes, and the very clothes upon their backs. The unfortunate population have consequently witnessed the return of our army with the greatest joy. . *.• Thia Wort' dvititable argil bR 11a4 con in point of exectoi, rrice • DIJON, JANUARY 12. The enemy's parties having shown themselves in the environs of-Gray, they were driven away by the dragoons, gendarmes, and the national guards, as sembled by the Senator Count Valence. The inha bitants of Chalons-sur-Saone have palisadoed their bridges, and broken down those in advance. M. Pastoret, Auditor of the Council of State, marched at their head several leagues from_ the town. They bravely charged '2OO of the troops who intended to attack them, killed some, and put the rest to Right. As it was announced that the enemy was about to receive reinforcements, - the inhabitants of Charolais descended from their mountains to the succour of the Chalonaix, and drew themselves two pieces of can non from Oreuzot. A veteran officer directs -these brave people in their measures of defence. At Tour nu and at Macon, the most energetic measures have been taken to repel the enemy, should they appear ther,e. The spirit of the people is excellent. In the 18th military division, the courage of the peasantry. is above all expression. MONT DE MARSAN, JANUARY 8. Since we have commenced forming companies free corps, all the Basques have risen en masse, andl are harassing the English army on all sides. Thisl sort of wartare- is equally adapted to the nature oti the country and the character of those active and in -1 trepid mountaineers. Accustomed to use their iowl- ! ing-pieces with address, they frequently kill the dettes and viquets of the enemy. Only old men and' women are now to be seen in the villages bordering .)n the Pyrennees, all the men from 18 to 1.5 being under arms. METZ, JANUARY 13. Our national guard is organized, It is commanded by General Cosson, who was wounded in the battle of Wagram. General Hugo has the - command of . Thionville. There has been a severe frost tor some days past ; the Moielle is frozen over. . BESANCON, JANUARY 10. Since yesterday the enemy have made no progress; the snow falls in abundance, and retards his opera tions. The-road to Paris is still free, and several con voys of provisions have again entered this place.— The service of the national guard is punctually per formed. The citizens are full of tourage and zeal. This moment the cannon of the citadel and fortress are firing on the enemy's reconnoitring parties. LYONS, JANUARY 6. The movements of the Allied Army on Geneva caused some alarm in this town ; some part of the enemy having advanced on the road of Seypel, aug:, mented their tears. Already some. timid individuate had packed up their effects to send them off, and it appeared as if the enemy were at our gates :—but now that the measures taken to oppose their progress are known, as the levy en mass is ready - to act, and the enemy on their part are become rather alarMed, and hesitate how to proceed, the public fear has ceased. It is reported that Geneva has been aban doned by the enemy. VERSAILLES, JANUARY 13. The levy of 300,0(X) men is proceeding with the greatest activity ; and 800 men have set off for their destination ; other detachments will soon follow. GRENOBLE, 14,CEMBER 30. - The levy of 120,000 men ordered by the Senate on the 9th October, 1813, has been long since finished. That of 300,000 men has been executed without in-. terruption, and with the greatest order.

DUTCH PAPERS. . . PRIBURG, THE BRISCAU, JANUARY 4; The following is a statement of the present posi= tion of the Allied Armies: For some days past, the head-quarters of General Wtede has been at Artkirch, in Alsace, and the Al lies on that side besiege Huninguen and &fort ; while Montbelliard and a number of other places . have been taken by theth, and their advanced posts stretch northward to St. Croix and New Brisach, and westwards to Lure, in Franche Compte. Ano ther column pushed forward by Porentrui, has its ad vanced posts at Beame les Dames, on the Don s, in Franche Compte. Pontarlier is occupied by a corps., which advanced by Biel and. Neuchatel; while lastly,.

Great St. Bernard ; another ., towards Gex and St.tlaitde, to take possession of. the Passes of Mont Jura ; a third towards Chamberi,l to enable Savoy to throw off the yoke ; and lastly, a, fourth over the Rhine, to advance on the side of Lyons. The head-ivarters of the Prince of Schwart zenbctg were on the Ist still at Loerrach, but were to be removed to Basle, whence as Commander' in . Chief, he would direct all the movements of the: Grand Allied Army. Its force is constantly increa sing, and will in a few days, it is supposed; amount to 205,000,men. BASLE, JANUARY 4. The French Minister l'alleyrand g •tvho on his re turn from Zurich to Paris was detained at Arau by the Austrian troops, has obtained permis ion to re , su'ne hi, journey, and departed on the Ist, under tcolt. escoft. Prince Schwartzenherg sent him the follotvitl4 note, ilAted Loervitch, Dec. €2.3 : " M. CouNT—The position of the army %thief — I I have the honour to command, no longer permits the ccntinu tnce of a French Ambassador in their rear.

CASSEL, JANUARY 4. Lieutenant-General Kleist," with a division of the corps under Otis command, is expected here on the 14th : the either division of his corps will continue the blockade of Erfurth. CARLSRUHE, JANUARY 7% The corps of Baden, tronpg, made prisoners at Leips!e, entered here on the 31st ult. Our two dra goon regiments are attached to the corpS of Count Wittgenstein; the grenadier battalion of the guards, and a division of artillery, march with the Russian guards. . • On the 2d an engagement took place at Schind buCkel, between' Ellerstadt.and Turkheir+ At 11 in the forenoon the Duke of *Ragusa acquAinted the inhabitants, that they muit keep themselves in their houses, and place in security their most valuable property. Towards mid-day the cannonade loegan ; but the French soon commenced their retreat, partly by Turkheim, and partly hi the direction of Harten burg, where they took up a position, from whence, however, they retired in the night, on the approach of the Russians. The Duke of Ragusa has in his corps d'armee, seven regiments of cavalry, which together scarcely amount to 900 men. On the sth, General Lanskoi, who commands the Russian advance, Was at Spite, about a league and an halt from Lautern, where he must have ar rived on the 6th. DOR STEN, JANUARY 11. The Russian division of General St. Priest, be longing to the army of General Blucher, has now suc cessively taken Coblentz, Bonn, and Cologne. In describable was the joy of the lash-mentioned corn. mercial city, when the Allies entered it, and broke the iron yoke under which that city and its merchants had so long sighed. Wezel is now surrounded on both sides of the Rhine. Before its communication with France was cut off, the Commandant had disarmed all the Dutch in the garrison, and sent them towards France by Venloo Many of them, however, made their escape, at dill ferent parts of the road. ZURICH, lANUAXY 4. Towards the restoration of an Old Gavernmenr, a -happy comtnenpeneht has bten4e. The Deputa.' tion from the different Cantons were called together on the 20th ult. and passed the following Act : , g The Deputies from the Old Cantons of Uri, Schwartz, Schwitz, Glaris, Zug, Frieburg, Bask,- Schaffhausen, and Appenzel, being assembled at Zurich, and taking into consideration the present state of their country, they were convinced that by the course of events so well known,. it it impossible that the existing Constitution of the Helvetic League for the Act of Mediation can any longer contintte.-:- Farther, it is imperiously necessary, for the welfare of Switzerland, not only that the old Swiss Bond nt Union should be revived, but that it should be strengthened by new regulations. For this purpose, the subsequent Convention has been agreed upon and ratified : i. Brotherly friendship, and mutual asAistance to and from each of the Cantons. " 2.

He commanded the hostile fleets on that occasion, and after spending a few months as a pn seller on parole at Reading, he was permitted to re visit France. At Rennes he was met by a Mersen gi*.; with an order from BONAPARTF, to prevent him from coming to the capital. Upon receiving this order, VILLENEavz wrote thefollowing letter; nearly the whole of the predictions it contains have been yr rified--:the rest are probably on the eve Of fulfilmet:t • " Rennes, May s, 1806. •." •Sta—Youdttrust rentetnbei that when l.atouche died at Toulon I commanded at -Rochford, and I declined to succeed him I was then well convinced that whoever-treaded at directed the adventurous apd badly-planned speditioa of the combined A 7 Tench anti SPapish Beets, would be disgraced as well as MA lutred; ierni;fortutae spared his Vern an engagement (almost uisatoidafile) with a foe accustomed to Victory, and coyeAug the aka, of the world with his 'cruisers. were. my. very words to the Minister of Menet whets 1 aftgnwards, so much against any inclination, aailekfur Ilaree.tona and Cadiz, and witnessed the manning andplanceuraes of the Spanish fleet.
