ALTENBURG, APRIL Vt.— Milarodcmitsch is this day at Frevbnrg, and in readiness to join our army. Major Von Blucher, with only one squadron and a leaf of his hussars, has combated with the whole advancing tiore of the enemy, and has thrice victoriously driven their vauguard through Weimar, whither he had been onliged to withdraw from Gothe. He bad already made 30 prisoners when he fell in with the main body, and his hussars being alt hot in the pur suit, could not penetrate through it. He has lost•one otEcer and 14 men, and could not keep his prisoners. Major Von Blucher Himself was wounded in the cheek in the skirmish, but he had in spired the enemy with so tune!' respect that he continued his re treat to the Saale, not in a trot, but at a foot pact.—He retreated behind Jena, but has again advanced, and is said to be again at Weimar. On the Ist it was expected in our army that the enemy would cross the Salle and attack us; but on the following day it was perceived that they were retreating, and apparently towards Erfurt. General Lod Blucher is recovered , from his indisposition. SAXON Y, —On the 24th of April the Emperor , of Russia and King of Prussia, with the Russian army entered Dresden.

BRESLAW, APRIL '24.—We are assured that a courier, who on the 6th of this month arrived at Vienna, from Paris, brought the positive rejection, by Napoleon, of the proposals for a peace made by Austria, since which the Austrian Government have resolved to set on foot an army of 130,000 men in Germany, and another of 50,000 men in Upper Italy. An ultimatum of the French Emperor on the whole business of the peace will be presented by the Prince of Schwartzenberg, to which we can scarcely expect a speedy answer will be given. FREN:M PAPERS.

Blurbs% PARIS, APRIL ‘47.---His Majesty the Emperor passed the 'ad ins reviewing the four fine regiments of the old guard ; he expressed his satisfaction at th e fi ne s t a t e o f th ese troops; t hey arrived at Mayence by forced marches, and were only six days in performing the journey ; they were so little fatigued, that they immediately passed the Rhine. General Curial has arrived at Mayen: e, with the skeleton regiments of the new guard, which is organising in this town. All the equipment, for these troops have arrived at May ence by extraordinary conveyances. - The Duke of Castiglione is appointed Military Governor of the Grand Duchies of Frankfort and Wurtzi..urg. The citadel of Wurtzburg has been ai•nied and provisioned. The reports which have been • circulated respecting a pretended defeat of Sehastisni, and the death of his Aides de-Camp, are false and unfounded ; on the contrary, with the object of drawing the enemy towards him, he ordered General Maurin to evacuate Celle.; I'2oo Cossacks immediately threw themselves into it : on the 18th General Maurin hastily entered into Celle, pelf-moll with the enemy, who Was thrown into complete rout, and lost fifty killed, great number wounded, and about one hundred prisoners. During this time General Sebastiani marelisd upon Uelzen ; ile ! drove from Great Oesingen a party of 600 Cossacks, 411 back • npou Spinkeitelb, where the enemy had collected 1,500 caval'ers.

General Vandionme commands at Bremen; he has ender his or. ders the three flivis ons of Datum., St. Cyr, and Damon; can. The uneasiness of need's minds calms in the 3Vd military davisifm; the forces which they see arrive from all sides; the severe exam ples which have been made of the chiefs of the conspiracies; but particularly the few troops which the enemy has been able to sties,. • upon this point:, preveuted the ill-disposed persons. ; from showing themselye.4. The Duke of Reggio set out on the 23d from May ence, to take the command of the 12th corps of the Gran , ' Army. On the V. 4111, the greater part of the army had passed he 1110I111• tains of Thuringe.

PARIS, APRIL 17.—1 t is difficult to form an idea of the sensation which the presence of his Majesty the Emperor has canned through. out all the branches of the military administrations, and of the .n -thusiasm which the certainty of his arrival has spread i:iroti;rl , t all the corps d'armee. We have before us letters from Mayence, which all agree in stating, that the troops are filled with ardour, and that they with impatience wait the signal for battle. Our mi litary men arc particularly exasperated against the Prussians, whom they consider as traitors, and promise to make them repent a con duct so dishonourable, and which has no example except in the Prussian annals. It must be confessed that the spectacle which, at this moment', France offers, intoit astonish Europe, attentiie to the events which futurity offer=. The London Journalists anoomiced, a tew days ago, that the French army was annihilated, that our resoneces were exhausted; and here suddenly is this army, which reappears more numerous, more brilliant than ever, which in it:' prtturatory move ments already threatens the enemy. encourakes our faitlitul allies, and spreads terror and alarm among those %vim have hcen deficient in courage or loyalty.
