The Emperor of Austria has, it is said, re tired upon Chatillon.—Gazette de France, Journal de l'Entpire, and Journal de Paris, 18th March. His Majesty King Joseph reviewed to day in the Courts of the Thailleties. the National Guard of Paris, composed of 20,000 men ' at least, completely armed and equipped, with their artillery, and different corps of troops of the line, infantry, cavalry, and a corps of artillery of 1500 men at least. All these troops, forming shout 35,000 men, occupied four hours in defiling. There were at least 2000 superb cavalry, consisting of cuirassiers, dragoons; and hus sars. They were followed by a train of about 60 pieces of cannon. The greater part of the troops of the line set off immediately for the army. Every body admired the fine appearance of the national guard. The greater part of the platoons defiled with as nmeh regularity and order as old troops. During the whole time the troops were defil- 1 hie. her Majesty the Empress remained in the erand balcony. His Majesty the King of Rome assisted also at this review from the windows of his apartments ! ! ! To -day a numerous artillery. served by the invalids and the pupils of the f olk technic school, defiled in the Court of the Thuilleries. The ;i and martial pride of the veteran warriors were agreeably conti asied with the lively and animated march of these young and interessitie soldiers. The former seemed to have renewed their etrength to give the conotry fresh proofs of devotion andicouraafe ; the latter seemed to wish to give pledges of the exploits they would one day pc t fiam. These corps, well experienced in the mantenyring of cannon, and of a fine appearance, have been formed with astos eishing rapidity by a General of Artillery, whose talents, long tried, have always acquired the confidence and veneration of the armies. After the parade his Majesty King Joseph received the oaths of General Count de Lespinasse, the Etat-Major, and the Officers of the artillery and engineers, There continue to arrive at Paris a great number of troops of all descriptions: detachments of conscripts succeed each other inces santly. We learn from the departments of Normandy and Brittany, that all the roads are covered with troops proceeding to Paris ; that the national guards are armed, clothed, and exercised everyday in inanceuvres. The following is a report to the General of Division Rollin, com manding the first Military Division, and the city of Paris— ., PAR'S, MARCH 16 --MT Grireitae----Numberless requisitions have been dealanded,.under pain of death, from the Department of the Oise.

My loss was only one man taken, and two slightly wounded. I know not the loss of the enemy; but two men were killed, and according to the reports of the inhabitants of Mout didier, several wounded were carried off. " 1 st in particular give praise to the Majors of the garrison of Beauvais, who, though they had only feeble detachments, asked leave to march.

Paters, Marten 27.—From our paper of yesterday it must have tier seen. that the English paper. The Times, applauds the poject of burping Paris, ancithat it Battered itself eight days ago that this great city was perhaps then only a heap of ashes. It is worthy of remark, that this journal writes under the direct in ' fluency of Lord Wellesley, a brother of Lord Wellington. and that it is besides the most moderate of the ministerial papers... Journal dc 1' F.iapire. It appears certain, that movements of the highest importance are executing on all points by the French army, and that they occasion great uncertainty in the operations GI the enemy. Majesty king Joseph will this day review, in the Court of time Palace of the Thuil!cries, the troops of the line of the garrison of Paris, the Imperial Guard, and the Parisian National Guard. A traveller, who has passed through nearly the whole of the Aus trian army. assures us that it is iu a state of great destitution, that it suffers privations of every kind, and that the number of sick which are left in the rear augment daily in an astonishing proportion. TA tuna, MARCH 38.—The measures adopted by tke Duke of Dal matia have produced complete confidence in every quarter where any alarm had been sonceired.

Their retreat was very Occipitals; we toek or killed a great number of men. Our town as nut to be approached even if they should appear in great force ; the iaundations, the pallisadets, the ramparts covered with caution of large calibre, would hinder them from making attempts which could only tura to their shame. _ _ _ PROVIKa t MARCH *l.—The grand park of artillery, and the bu• reaux belonging lb the head-quarters. are gone forwards.
