TILE I\;ATIONAI, REGISTt:R. Lon Don, SUNDAY, NAN - Tim 1814. f:AINIPAIGN IN FRANCE.-SUCCESSES OF THE ALLIES. We have to announce a new., a most interesting change 'which has taken place in the respertive position? of the French and Allies in France as slated in our last Dumber. At that period it appe 4 .ed that the Allies had been driven from the neighbuurflood of Pails on the north east and south-east quarter. On this IRS! Prince Schwart retibeig abandoned the Lnks of the Seine, and even the line of the Aube, to retreat towards the Marne. Bucher bad also evacuated all the . cotintn between Paris and that )ast•named river, and was apparently using his utniost en deavours to effect a junction with Schwa! tzenberg, for which purpose be ha 4 passed the Aube at Arcis-sur-Anhe on his 'way to Troyes, where it was said be intended to join the Grand Army; he was, however, attacked by Bponaparte at llery-sur . Seine. The town in the Conflict was set on tire, and Bnonaparte hoaste4 of only 100 prisoners taken in the conflict. The next day Buonapa'rte was seen marcl?ing a considerable quantity' of inttntry, cavalry . , artillery, and insigagc towards TroTei, Plucher than thou. . 6 bt OW Ws eb..

By a forced march souring the night, he then retsaced hit steps; -threw bridges over the Aube, and pushing again forward towards the North, drove Marshal Marmont flom position to position, and at last crossed the Marne near Meaux (only 25 miles from .Paris) on the 27th, and %vas on the 28th firmly established on both bank s - o f t h e river. He was aware, at the same time, that Buonaparte might have troops in his rear, but for this he had provided. Buonaparte, however, soon discovered the feint which had been practised upon him, and leaving Macdonald with 45,000 men, to observe Schwartzenberg's army ; set out him- I self, wi!li his principal force, in pursuit of Blucher. The veteran Geoerai haying . folly anticipated these motements, retreated, at the approach of Buopaparte, towards the North, where he was sure of meeting with reinforcements from the army of the Crown Prince, and at last with the Crown Prince himself. Buonaparte suffered himself to be drawn away from the central position be had so judiciously chosen in the be ginning, by this march of Blucher; and, after a useless and fatiguing pursuit, he was forced to acknowledge, in a short sulky Bulletin of the sth of this montli, that be had obtained no advantages ; but that Blucher's army, with the numerous corps by which it had been joined, would have been destroyed but for the treason of the Commandant of Soisbons, who opened its gates to the• Allies. •Rheims. however, was li berated, as he terms .hut this is the town which about a week before had been shai ply reprimanded in the Mon.iicar fur the friendly reception the allied troops had exile, ieneed from the inhabitants; and it may be rationally doubted whe ther or no they con,idered the arrival of Buonapaite's troops as a deli ve7ance. In the mean time, however, Prince Schwartzt.nberg, fully aware of Marshal Blucher's movements, and acting on the ,acne plan of macceuvres adopted near Di esden, advanced again on his side towards Paris, which he knew 111.104 narafte •i-as too far north to protect. He march - e 4 again upon Troves and upon all the sioJihouriwg positions. The French were ever y whet e defeated, wi•li even more confusion than l o ss, in several p actions ; , they retreated to Troyes pell-mell, and obtained a capitu';,-, tion, by which they were allowed only half an hour to ev:- cnate the place. At the expiration of that time the eava',l of the Allies was sent in pursuit of the fugitives, and a gre,it number of 1314c:tiers were brought in, as might be natnraliy expected from tke previous state of disoygani. , :vion of thos.e . troops. Thus far we proceed on the authority of last nigli•!.s, Gazette, but it is further stated, that even Nogent had been evacuated by the enemy, . and set on fire by them. On the 4th the head quarters of Prince Schwartzenberg's we ;•e . at Troyes. and Buonaparte must of course retrace his s'e;l back again to the south, with an army exhausted by fattning' marches, to oppo , e the approach of the Allies to wards Path in that quarter. In the inean time Mi dler, reinforced by the numerous corps advarcing to his assistance, will not fail to advance a.,zain towards the cppital in the north-east direction, and we may confidently expect, that the net drawn round Iluonaparte by the Allieg, like the Penelope ever, will bring about the down Ell of " the devourers of the'llonse." A still brighter prospect is open, by the spirit which 1.1-,e French people have inanifcste,l at the sight of the first of the Bourbon Pt inces who have appeared among them since the beginning of that revolution, during which they have had so often to regret the Mild Government Of their legitimate Sovereigns.
