There was in amazing bugle yesterday at the Stock Exchange ; but to-day it is much greater. Language cannot describe it. Om nium, which opened at 23 for money, and 24 for the payment, rose, as soon as the news got into circula tion, to 26i for payment. • . We have to add, that no official information re specting the above important event, has been received by Government ; and we need hardly remind our Readers, ihat the state of alarm into which Paris was thrown by the approach of the allied troops, might inducb an anticipated publication of an event calcu lated to quiet their apprehensions, and to keep down riot and instirrection. We only say that this is pos sibte. A ieVz hours will decide this point. Since writing the above we have learnt that letters wen this morning received by some Commercial Horises in the City from the French coast, dated the Sth instant, which state—that Paris is surrounded by the Allies-who, it is said, an ;treating with Me Senate ; and passports, it is added, have been granted for Messengers to pass by the way of Calais to Eng land, with Lord t asiLittrAcrt's Dispatches for the British Govet-nthent. die lasi nten4ned circumstance Lie correct, it is possible that, intrlligence of any important occurrence will reaCh ° thii country, direct front his Lordship, more speedily thin through any French medium.

LISI36N, JANUARY 2s. oi• The Duke of San Carlos has, it is said, returned from Madrid to Fiance ; it seems he had dispatches froth Bonapa rte for the Spanish Government, who refused to open them, bUt delivered to the Duke of San Carlos six Copies of an . Act of Congress, which declares, "That the Spud* Nation will never treat with Bonaparte or the French nation, until their 'King is restored; and all the Spanish territories eva cuated by the French troops." And it further in formed the Duke, that it would not a treat under any circumstances, but in conjunction with their Allies, the English and Portuguese." :. Yesterday morning the Earl of LIVERPOOL was closely engaged at the Foreign Office till near three o'clock, when he accompanied Earl SPENCER to the Secretary of State's Office for the Home Department, where they were met by the Archbishop of CANTF.A BURT, the LAIRD CHANCIZLOR; the LORD JUS TICE of the Court of Wng's Bench. It was under. stood that the meeting was not upon state affairs, but upon business relative to the Charter House. Yesterday, soon after three, o'clock the Princess CHARLOTTE left Warwick House in her chariot, ac nimpapied by Miss Knfoirr, and proceeded to Hyde- Park, where she rode for about an hour, and returned to Warwick House at WI puss four to dinner. . Wednesday Viseount i MsLvlLLE held a Levee at his house in the Admiralty, which was but thinly atten ded by Officers. , The EstabNshosent of the Princess CHARLOTTE is arranging, and in great forwardness ; the whole of her Royal Highnefii's Household is nearly completed. The PRINCE REGENT received a communication yesterday afternoon from the QutEss by one of her Hobby Grooms from Windsor. Therrhas as yet been no regular Drawing-room at the Hague, but more khan eight benched Ladies have sent in their names, in order to be presented.— The Life Guard, which the Sovereign.

The :article in those Papeis which nieaiions the trait% of something Lite a Congressi, at chatilion;sritageini. is put forWakd in the most Proininent manner. • It is in fact the Mai important article of the whole, and was of tnurse intended to 2114 the appiehensioni of thh Parisians. If we ati to believe that unerring baton - tete! the French fundS, the object *aa itt a slight degree .attained: On the sth instant they had fallen to 47, but on the 6th, when the above intilligertee transpired, they rose tb 49. • We cannot belieie that the military deiaili of the triverOr's victorita bad this effect, for the language in sibieh they are described is not calculated to impose even ripciti aq understanding of Parisian calibre: The most considerable of the actions isentioilid in the French Papers seems to have been that of Brienne• The former statements, which appear to have been fine fictions, gave out that the Allies were driven out of Brienne—they now aimit that it was not the reori grtarti, but the main body under BLVOIER in person, and 40,000 strong, with which - they had to contend. The loss of the Allies is estimated at 4000, and that of the French at froth two to 3000 in killed and wounded, The French also admit the loss of a whole Battery (Park !) of the Artillery of the Guard; which lost its way. The men, it seems, were able to save " the horses and the harness ;" the' guns were of course left behind. The fighting, in which the EMPEROR took a part, stems to have lasted from the 29th January to the 2d February inclusive. He must have been defeated in every action, for he is constrained to admit, that on the 2d instant the rear guard of his army was drawn up in order of battle before Brienne (1. e. between Etienne and Paris), but was speedily compelled to rejoin the rest of the army. MARMONT was on the same day engaged with a corps of Austrians, which had passed behind the woods ; but he repulsed them. At ten in the evening of the night before, Bet:Tinto made a narrow escape from being Oaken frtim the, proximity of the allied outposts. Now, we perceive from all this, and from a previous admission, that the Allies were five times the narriber of the - French; that the former were pressing forward with such ra pidity, and in such numbers, that BONAPARTE found it highly expedient to concentrate all his forces upon Troyes. 'The alarm at Paris is oviilantly great. Palisadoi are erected round the city; and apertures of eighteen • itches hnly are permitted, for the accommodation of .64°1:passengers. The cAtiaeks had " re-appeared" At Sens on Use st instant. • They were then about seventy iuileirfrom Paris--allowing them to travel at 'the rat* of ton miles a-day only, they may have been - in sight of the Capital 00. the 7th.--o( this cireunt stump, heiteier k itie are not intotined. • • • ,•••• I REPORT' Or • • ANOTH ER VICTOR : BY LORD WELLING roN OVER SOULT. We have this morning received the following com munication from Bristol, which,.altirough somewhat deficient in dates, ism verthele , s so circumstantial in other particulars. that we are inclined to give it some degree of cregto; Be it remembered also, that the glorious victors d Salamanca, besides several other of Lord WELIJITGTOWS achievements, were first corn. municated to.trs from Bristol, to which port the in telligence was conveyed in a manner perfectly similar to that which is subjoined. The last dispatches from Lord WELLINGTON were *dated St. Jean de Luz, on the 2Scl inst. and they crainly afford grounds for supposing that it was SOULT'S intention to make an other desperate effort to regain .the ground he had Inst., After stating that the enemy had withSrawn all his out-posts in front of Bayonne, his Lordship says—" the troops which I had reported in my last to have moved upon Bidarray and Baygorrey, have marched from thence apparently towards the centre of the army, which ha: been considerably reinforced." We are not without hopes, therefore, that the jhfor mation of our Bristol friend will be fully cdnfirmed by Subsequent arrivals : tt " BRISTOL, THUR,DAY MORNING. a I hasten to communicate the following pleasing intelligence : —The AURORA, Captain MOORE, from Guernsey, last night, spoke with a vessel (name I have forgot) . bearing Dispatches from Lord WEL LINGTON. The Captain states that SOULT was de feated with the loss of at least Five Thousand men killed, exclusive of those wounded and taken priso ners, who are supposed to amount (At a moderate cal culation) to Three Thousand Five Hundred :—that the enemy was in full retreat, and Lord WELLINGTON in pursuit. Five General Officers are taken , priEo nets. SouLT earrowlyescaped. Sir ions HOPE was very slightly wounded. Our troops are every where very kindly received by the inhabitants. Excuse haste, as the Mail is just going off. . " P. S. As the Captain is but just arrived, it is not generally knon here ; but those who have heard of it, give it credit, because the Captain's veracity is undoubted by all who know him." It h again asserted, with some confidence, that MURAT has signed a Treaty with the Emperor of AUSTRIA, by which he engages, to bring 30,000 men into the field to co-operate with the Allie*. By the. death of Lieutenant-General RALPIT Dux= nits, a vacancy occurred for the Colonelcy of the filth Foot, in which Lieutenant-General.DttvxmotinSnow in Canada) has served for twenty years, and is now their Lieutenant-Colonel. It was thought that, of course, ,he would be appointed Colonel in the regi ment:4l/14h he had accompanied to every climate— ' but we understitui Lieutenant-General STEVENS, of the 65th, is appointed Colonel of the Bth, and Lien tensint-General rlatnUatorao gets the 97th, in tt-e room of Lieutenant-General GROSirENOR, who gets the 65th. The Derbyshire Militia (a,very fine body) landed 4t Corkou Monday se'unight, from England. It is mentioned that either they, pr tliOxford regiment, ;are to be quaitcred at Limerick. • The Local Militia are forthwith to be called out, to assemble at the places of rendezvous in their several districts, fur the purpose of being called upon to extend their services to the enlarged periodOf 42 days, with all the concomitant engagements comprehended in the Act 'passed for the purpose. .On ascertaining the dis positions-of the Officers and men, (which, it is con ceived, may be done in one day, exclusive - of the days of marching), the Officers and men are to be dismissed with tl e allovrances and furnishings granted by the Act, to receive due notice when they are to called out for the extended service. Ciatillon-sur-Seine is in the department of the Cote - Per, so called on account of its wines, more precious, say the French, than gold mines. A Coroner's Inquest has been held on the body of the infant daughter of Lieutenant Harrington, who fell from an attic window at Brighton, as stated in a fOrmer Paper. Verdict—Accidental Death. The dei ceased, it is now supposed, on awaking, aid finding herself in a strange bed, had got out and wandered to the window, near which stood a chair and a talrle, And, in endeavouring to raise herself upon one or both of these, had accidentally fallen against one of the panes, through which she passed ' , and produced the fatal catastrophe: Fiazi.—A fire was discovered on Tuesday evening' in an upper apartment, at Serle's Coffee-house, Carey street, Lincoln's-inn. fields ; bud by the speedy arrival of several firemen, and a copious supply of water, the edifice was preserved . , though ,it sustained considera ble damage. A fire also-broke out the same eveoing, in a cooper's workshop in Allan-street, Goswell-street, which spread considerable alarm, bin by great.exertions it was got under after materially damaging the premeses. The conflagration is said to have been occasional-by .a spark - falling among some cuips. A boy of the name of Kele, son of a paviiirin Bird -street, was playing at the top of Oxford -street, at the time a groom was passing with two horses, one of which lashed out behind, struck the boy in the side, and broke several fibs. He was taken to the Hospital in a senseless state. Tuesdaymorning about four o'clock Mr. Aldridge's Repository in St. Martin's-lane, w..s broken into and rcObed of plate coach glasses to a considerable amount. The thieves effected an entrance by the front gate, and proceeded to acts of wanton violence by breaking the frames of the coaches. One pair of glasses tlaistetook from a nobleman's chatiot,whichwas standing in the yard, is valued at five guineas. On the same morning it is supposed ;he same gang vvent to Mr. Searle's coach manufactory, where they broke open several apartments, and stole several glasses of a rich plated kind. .! 1%. 1 0 ,11' • "P . , ;a: .7. •• tr • V - SECOND EtortioN • FLAG OF TRUCE.

The. wind having inclined a little from the east. ward this morning, preparations were made by the outward-bound fleets, lying at St. Helen's, for sailing, but its having changed again, they were obliged to bring up in their old station, except 'the horse trans ports which arrived at Spithead for a supply of water. it is to be lamented that the largest reinforcement for Lord WELLINGTON t which has been ready at one time since the commencement of the Peninsula war, should be detained as the present. The horses em barked amount to upwards of two thousand.
