DEFEAT OF THE I:IIENCH BY BLUCHER—FRENCIi: PAPERS To THE 230 INSTANT. We received last night intelligence from Holland, which can be depended upon. Marshal Blucher drove the enemy over the-Aisne, on the lath; Bulow, on the 10th, march-' ed upon Soissons ; and, on the same day, Winzingerocle proceeded towards Rheims. Blucher had, on the 20th, in tercepted a letter addressed to Buonapaite, giving him an account'of the entrance of the English army into Bordeaux, and of the general rising of the people iu favour of the Bourbons. This is in great measure confirmed by the French Papers received last night; and those received in the course of the week indirectly corfirin that intelligence. For the bulletin. which conveys the account •of military operations down to the 20th in the morning. ind details the various move ments of the different corps of the Allies, is totally silent in respect to Blucher. Instead of that, it details stations ope rations of Buonaparte against the Austrians, who, it seemed, advanced across the Seine in proportion as Bnanaparte had been drawn towards the north by Blucher. Even over them Buonapai to does not seem to have obtained anylle cisive success, for he boasts only of the taking a an - egni. page of pontoons, and says that the enemy retreated agalti• beyond the Seine, and evacuated Troyes. So we dare to say they did , for, as we have observed from the beginning, the Allies, faithful to the plan they have so successfully fol. lowed before Dresden, so concert their operations, that nne of their armies invariably retreat in propottion as the other advances, Schwartzenberg in consequence, again advanced to . the Seine, while Buonaparte was compelled to follow Blucher towards I aon. But no sooner had he been forced, after repeated defeats, to desist from further attacks on the ve teran, than Buonaparte, alarmed by Schwartzenberg's move ment to the South, thought it time to make bead in that quarter, with what success we have already seen. It was now Blucher's turn to advance again ; and, if we are nct much mistaken, he has actually cut the communication of Buonaparte with the capital on the Noah side. For the papers to the 22d, received before the last bulletin, owned that Blucher was in possessiou of Noyon, and that 'Com piegne bad been twice attacked ; which, in the style of those papesrs, means taken, for the day previous to the eatry of our troops• into Bordeaux, they - mentioned the p a ssage of [troops through that town to reinforce General Sou.t. 1 l• r . • 'I X 1 , 101
