CRISIS. poltf, Fits a*—•Her Majesty the ET ltrfeßS 1134 roeeived the following accounts of the situation of the minks to the 24th of February On the t2d, at two in the afternoon, the Emperor went to the village of Merg-snr-Seisie; Gen. Boyer attacked, at Morg, the wrecks of the corps of Generals Blucher, Sackett, and Yorek, which bad passed the Aube to join the army of Prince Schwartzenberg, at Troyes. General Royer attacked the enemy at the pis de charge, overthrew him, and got possession of the town. The enemy in his rage set fire to it with such rapidity, that it was impossible to pene trate through the fire to pursue hint. We took 100 prisoners. From she lid to the 33d, the Zmperor bed his head-oltarters at the little hamlet of Chatres. " On the 23(1, Prince Wentzel Lichtenstein conic to the head quarters. This new flag of truce was sent by Mince St.liwartzen berg to ask for an armistice.

Girard coining from Sens, and =kit ing by Villeneuve, PArchevique, Vigo, and' St. Lnbant, fen in w ith-the rearguard of Prince Maurice Ilelstenotein, and took from bun six pieces of cannon and 600 men on horseback, who were sur-. rounded by the brave division of the cavalry of General Rousse. On the 13d, our troops invested Troyes en all sides. A Rus sian Aid-dc-Camp came to the out-posts, to request time to evacu ate the city, otherwise it should be burnt. This consideration stopped the movements of the Emps tor. The town was evacuated in the iiight, and we entered it in Use morning. It is impossible to form au idea dthe excesses which the inhabitants have endured &ming the t 7 occupation of it by the enemy. It would be equally slii.ficult to pint the cothwimem and the transpures they shewed on she arrival of the Emperor. A mother who sees her children is :cued from death; a slave whose chains are broken after the mug vinyl captivity, do not experience more Wray joy than that which the inhabitants of Troyes .have mattifeated. " Their conduct has been honourable, anti worthy of praise. The Theatre was opeu every evening, bat no man, no woman, even of the lower clams, would appear there.

Death is preferable to the vexations, the bad treatment, the cruelties, which we have endured for 17 days.' " In all the villages the inhabitants are in arms: Every where they tall on the - enemies whom they meet with. The strarefirs, and the prisoners, deliver themselves up voluntarily to the gens d'ahnes, whom they no longer consider as keepers, but as protector.
