GENERAL ORDER, . BY PRISCE SCHWARTZENBERCI, AT HIS HEAD-QUARTERS, MARCH 23, 1814. " Soldiers !—The High Allied Powers have again had their hopes frustrated : all efforts tending to the re,toration (t peace have been unavailing ; neither your victori , ts, nor 'the destruction of whole armies, n T. the cal imitiei inseparable from war, which f,r Cie - last three months have pressed heavily on the most flourisning provinces of France,—nothing, in short, could inspire the French Government with sen timents of moderation and equity. " The negocie.ions at Cziatillon are broken off. -Yon have annihilated in a single campaign that do yihich as abuse c,f purer and of physical force had arrogated over loreign countries. At this moment you occupy the halt ()f the French empire ; nevertheless the hope of conquest still guides the de terminations of its Govirnrotlit : it is not satisfied Kith securing to France ip-r independence, her liberty, and repose, but wishes to preserve, by the nature and extent of the limits of its empire, its fatal influence over the different States of Europe, and the means of disturbing at its pleasure the general tranquillity. " Soldiers!—You will not lay down your arms till you have secured to nations that independence which they must regard as the most valuable of all blessings. " May France be free and happy ! But let us not permit her to be so at the expet - ise - of so many other States, which have the same title to happiness and liberty. '! Conquerors at Culm, Leipzic, Hanau, and Brienne, it is upon you that all eyes are fixed ; the fate of Europe is in your hand. We approach the closing scene ; yet a few moments, and the world will owe to you its safety. " Soldiers ! Forget not at this decisive hour, that you have no other enemies to combat but those whom you meet on the held of honour. Do not aggravate the calamities of war to a brave and estimable nation, which patticipates in your wishes. Le us do justice to the majority of the French people, and let us not accuse them of calamities which can only be attributed to the unmeasured ambition of their Government.

" Official account fro* the Right Bank of dui Po, March 8. 88 According to all the intelligence received from the right bank of the Po, the General of Division Grenier, had marched from Reggio, by Gustalla on Borgoforte, in-order to pass to the left of that river, and immediately effect hi. junction with the Viceroy. This circOnstance determined the King; of Naples to divide the attention of the Viceroy, by draw . o.g him towards•himself. He took a position between Reggio - and Rubiera, and caused the division of Severoli, 4000 strong, to . be attacked , -in order to drive him back on Parma. " The King, accordingly on the 6th, reinforced the Austrian advanced guard, which was posted under the command of General Count Stahremberg, near itubler. by a regiment of infantry and a strong divi sion of Neapolitan cavalry, while he ordered Caros coa's division to advance from Modena on Reggio, to sustain the advanced guard. 4 ' His Majesty ordered all these troops to defile in columns on the great road from Rubiera to Rwio. The attack commenced on the 6th between three and four o'clock. It was directed by'his Majesty in per. son, and executed with such prt.roptitude that the enemy had not time to prepare for his defence. He was pursued to Mason ; 600 of his rear-guard were made prisoners, two battalions were dispersed, and prisonersare every instant brought in. " On the 7th, in the morning, the attack was continued. The enemy, after having made an inef fectual resistance, and experienced a considerable loss in killed and wounded, was repulsed under the walls of Reggio, where he took a position. But a summons on our part for the surrender of the town, and some movements which threatened to cut off his retreat on, Parma' and Gustalla, determined him to evacuate the town durinse the day. He retired behind the Enza towards Parma ; and on the Bth our advanced • guard took a position on that river. 48 Though our loss was not considerable, we have to regret several officers. The enemy's General Sc. veroli, had his left leg struck by a shot, and an im mediate amputation was necessary. He remains prisoner at Reggio. 88 According to the news from Leghorn of the 3d, two English s i lnps of the line and a Neapolitan frigate had on that day entered that port. The English Admiral disembarked, and was received with en thusiasm." AUSrIttAN BULLETIN ON THE SAME BATTLE. " Advices from Field-Marshal Bellegarde, Com mander in Chief of the Army of Italy, state, that his Majesty the King of Naples caused, on the 6th, the brigade of Stahrcmberg, supported by the divi sion orCaroscoa, to advance against Reggio. The aslvaaced guard fell in with the enemy between Ru biera and Reggio, attacked him, and drove him back with the loss of 300 prisoners and several officxrs.— On the 7th the King put himself at the head of the a.ivaiiced gUard, and drove the enemy beyond Reg -00. The town was obstinately defended, but the skilful dispositions which were adopted compelled the enemy to evittuate it, and it was occupied in this evening by the aliita troops. General Severoli, who lost a leg in the Action, and 600 men, were made prisoners. ‘. The advanced posti were pushed on the Bth to the. Enna, while General Gober, .and a brigade of Ambrosio's division, were ordered pn Bocco di Sotto Gustalla, to take a reconnoissance on the latter I,:dce, and also to the right sank of the King.

Omnium was as high as 26, and Consols for money at 70i, when almost instan taneously Omnium fell to 21, and Consols to 68. The only cause for this fall was the knowledge some persons had, that Mr. HASE intended waiting upon the Gentlemen of the Stock Exchange ; and from this it was imagined that he was coming to announce either 4 new Loan, or the funding of Exchequer Bills. But as soon as it was known that the object of his mission referred to the extension for the redemption of the Omnium from the 6th of May until the 30th of the same month, 50 per cent. to be paid on the 13th, and the remaining 50 on the 30th, Omnium rose to 2-1, and Consols to 691, and, iii all probability, Will leave off at the price of its opening. Letters of the sth instant have been received from the French coast, bringing accounts from Paris up to the 3d, it which period every thieg was tranquil. An idea has been erroneously taken up that Prince SCLIWARTZENBERG, in his ProclamAtion to the Pali; sians, by the term " Notably., and men of public estimation," means to include the Senate and Legis lative Body created by BOUAPARTE. Nothing can be mere absurd.—The Notables of France are the Petri of that country, 3nd they resemble the House of Lords of this country so far as the analogy of the two Cons:itutions will admit. The last Constitutional Assembly held by the un fortunate Louts XVI. was a meeting of the Notables, —Whit share of .6 public estimation" has been ac quired in Fr.ince or elsewhere by the miscreants who have been made Senators and Legislators of France under the Napoleon dynasty, we are at a -loss to conceive. We have now the list of the French Se nate before us : it is composed of a motley groupe of Atheists, Thieves, and Aisassins. The first on the roll of this . Newgate Calendar is Roona Ducos—this fellow was a strolling player at the commencement of the Revolution, and afterwards figured as the Pre sident of several tribunals, which depopulated France, by means of the guillotine, of all that was virtuous and good. Count (ci-dtvant iibbe)•SIEYES is the nex t act the list--hie virtues are already well known.- -Count BERTHOLLET appears next ; this low-born upstart is a wholesale contractor for gun-powder to , the Great NAPOLEON. He. is understood to have ac quired immense riches by the large demands fur this article for the last twenty years. 1 * was a half_ starved apothecary at the Revolution.—Count LA. CEPEDE is the third in succession of these 64 .10;-liiian . r " Notables. This reptile is the author of several works on Natural History, the tendency of all of which is . to disprove the existence of the DEITY ! The truly restettable names of LAPLACE, VOLNEY, LAGRANGE, BoISY DANGLAS, HULIN, Governor of Paris, and several hundred others follow in due succession.— The bare sound of their names is nauseous to every well-regulated ear, and yet these are the men -vhom some of our contemporaries would represent the Em. peror ALEXANDER and King of PaussiA as taking by the hand and hailing them by th appellation of the Notables of France ! Away with such abominable nonsense ! The Notables of France are all those Who, like their Sovereigns, have been robbed of their titles and estates by the Revolutionary Banditti above alluded to. GERMAN PAPERS." MOREMBURG, MARCH 11. The park of Russian artillery which for some weeks has been stationed at this place, broke up yesterday to proceed to the armies. There 'constantly pass through here transports of necessaries for war, and recruit horses. A large and small division of Russian troops have also passed through our town. BERNE, MARCH iB. The Chevalier de Lebteltel and Count CApo d'lstria, Russian and Austrian Ministers, have re turned to Zurich, after their journey to the head quarters of their respective Sovereigns. The divisions which have so long agitated Switzer land still prevail. The Deputies of Lucerne, who had been sent to Zurich to demand the convocatitai of a Diet, composed only of thirteen of the ancient Cantons, have returned to Lucern since the 12th, dis appointed in their purpose. The Government of Zu rich has remained firm to the Convention of the 29th December, adopting the system of 19 Cantons, which had been acceded to by the Ministers of the Allied Powers.• The same Government is about to recom. mend a special conference to be attended by the De puties of the 13 Cantons, and these are to be invite,l to appear at Zurich on the 17th, four days prior to the opening of the Diet. The invitation so to be given to the 13 Cantons is to be at the same time communicated to the others. THE EVENING STAR. SECOND EDITION, - -• • . ADVANCE Or LORD W ELL/lid TON.UPON THOULOUSE. GOVERNMENT BULLETIN. WA-R DEPARTMENT, APRIL 7, 1814. A Dispatch has been received from the Marquis of WF.Luscrox, dated Samatan, March '25 : " After the affair of the 20th the enemy had re treated with such rapidity that the Allies were una ble to come up with him, excepting .on the 22d, when IVlajor-General . FaNE, with the 13th Light Dragoons, supported by the 3d Dragoon Guards, came up with the enemy's rear-guard at St. Gaudens, charged and pursued them two miles, killing many, and taking about One Hundred priioners. " Marshal SOULT arrived at Thoulouse with his army, on the 24th." Samatau, where his Lordship was at the date of the above dispatches, is only two leagues from Thou. louse. The private letters from his Lordship's army state, that the inhabitants of Thoulouse had declared for the BOURBONS. The Mail from Passages brings letters to the 31st ultimo, up to which period Bayonne was still in the hands of the enemy. Mails froth Bremen and Heligoland arrived this morning—the intelligence they convey is of minor importance, now that such great events are passing in France. We select the following articles : "NEIGHBOURHOOD or HAMBURCH, MARCH 29. " Great preparations are making for a serious at tack upon Hamburgh as soon as the Eibe shall be open ; a flotilla of English, Danish, and Dutch gun boats is to be collected fur this purpose, and a train of forty pieces of heavy artillery and eighteen mortars, is already on the road from Rendsburg." • •' ANTWERP, MARCH 19. " Our g:trrison is reduced to about 6000 men, partly by the many sallies, which has cost us very dear, and still more by desertion. Four weeks ago four gun boats were posted at the mouth of the Scheldt, but some English vessels approaching to Waarden, the French hastily fled to the walls. " Our Governor, Carnotte, seems disposed to amass a great fortune before lie gives up the city. Besides the contributions which he has from time to time found means to impose and to collect in our neigh bourhood, he has obliged us to pay successively all the taxes for 1813, 1814, and 1815. Provisions are dreadfully dear : 11b. of butter costs '2B stivers, a sack of potaroes i ti rins and 10 stivers, &c." “ FRANKFORT, MARCH 24. " Count Von Melke, the Danish Minister, arrived here to-day, on his road to the Head-quarters of the Allied Scvereigns. " A traveller, who left Lyons on. the 16th, met, about ten leagues from that city, the advanced guard of the Austrian army, wF.ich is from 4.0 to 50,000 strong, advancing against Lyons. Augereau had left that city with his army, consisting of not more than 20,000 men ; among whom are only 10,00 d good troops. They were prepared at Lyons to re ceive the Allies. (‘ General Marchand was, however, still in the neighbourhood of Geneva, with a separate corps of about 10,000 men, and will probably be obliged, if General Bubna advances, to retreat by way of Tu rin, and join the . army of the Viceroy of Italy." " NAMUR, MARCH is. As soon as the Danes have joined the army of the Crown Prince of Sweden, it is supposed he will march with 50,000 fresh troops to Paris." " LAUSANNE, MARCH is. " Since the 16th several detachments of that fine corps, the German Legion, have passed through on carriages, going to Geneva. We expect, in a day or two, two regiments of cavalry belonging to this Legion, which is about 10,000 strong, as is said to be, in English pay. , 4 There was a heal,/ cannonade heard on the side of Geneva this morning. A part of this garrison was to attack fort I'Ecluse this morning." 44 VIENNA, MARCH 17. ' " The new levy of troops goes on rapidly, but only few pass through here, but, they march through Bo hemia and Moravia to the Rhine, and through Stiria to Italy. Great numbers of horses are bought up in Hungary and Transylvania, and many come also from the neighbouring provinces of Turkey." The Dukes of YORK and CLARENCE visited the PRINCE REGENT yesterday. Preparations are making at St. James's Palace for the PRINCE REGENT going in state to the Chapel ltoptl on Sunday, being Easter Sunday.

The escort here accused of protecting a French Officer—and, on one occasion, Captain HARRt6 was nearly cut down, in spite of tt.e•efforts of his friends. His hit was cut to pieces, and this circumstance accounts for lii* appe3r ing in London with cotnannin Dragoon's foraging cap.
