It is not yet known what effect it produced in the town, but it is generally supposed that it cannot ,hnld out long. The reduction of this place will be important, not only in a military point of view, but also because Juliers intercepts the two great roads from Cologne and Dusseldorf, which, in bad weather, greatly obstructs the comma. nieatiol4.

PARIS, MARCH 22.—Her Majesty, the Empress -Queen and Regent, has received the followhitintel ligence of the situation of the armies to th We of March : The Russian General Wittgenstein, with Ms corps of the army, was at Villenoze. lie had thrown bridges at Pont, where he passed the Seine, and be marched upon Provins. The Duke of Tarentum had united bis troops at that town. On the 16th, the enemy mancenvred to outflank his left. The Duke of Reggio engaged Ms artillery, and the whole day passed in cannonade. The movement of the enemy appeared to be upon Provins and Nangins. On the other side the Prince of Schwartzenberg, BRUSSELS, MARCH 17.—We have just learnt that the French have to-day made a sally 'from Antwerp, as far as Grand Willibrock, where there were only twenty of our troops, but on the reports of the Muskets,. 6- or 600. mess, who were in the neigh tios4hood, went to meet the enemy.

FRIPUCIVORT, MARCH 7.—After the advantages over Blucher and the Prince of Wirtemberg, Napo icon wrote to his father-in-law, making proposals for peace, in which he used the following expressions ; 1 .• The Russian Army is annihilated ; the Prussian Army is disorganized ; there remains only yours to make war on me; but why ? let us make peace," &c. The Emperor Francis communicated this letter to his Allies, and three Generals were dispatched with a verbal answer.

Mardi 21, 49f. PARIS, MAacU 22.—Reinforcements of troops are marching from Paris and Versailles upon Meaux ; in a few days there will be upon that point consider able, forces, which will advance. Yesterday 600 horse set out for this destination ; to-day and to moreow there will be as many set out. It is to the military historian to whom it will be. bag to point out at one view the skilful manoeuvre= ' by , which the French Emperor has again baffled the &sips of two enemy's armies, which appeared de termined to assemble under, the . walls of Paris. From his departure on the 27th of Feb. from Troyes, to ~the 20th March, he traversed a line of 190 leagues In different directions, and has been in seven grand -affairs. The enemy has been repulsed to the distance of 50 leagues from Paris, in the two directions of M,ezieris and Bar-our-Aube.

' Teen& Papers to the 24th inst. reached town on Ftwtstiday. They do not, however, afford that satis factimaJabialt .was sa anxiously wished for upon the sollject of peace or war. Not a syllable is said of the negotiation. This, however, by no means im plies that it is not going on. By the delicacy with which the subject is treated, an additional reason, in our opinion, is held out to believe that the nego elation is ivrought very near to the sought for con clusion. One reason for the less frequent inter- , course between our Ambassador and his Court, arises , from the occasion of the couriers being obliged to come a round about route with their dispatches.— BONAPASTE has, no doubt, resolved, that he has been " too civil by half," in allowing oar Cabinet to inform its Ambassadors and Envoys at the sent of negociaticm, and with the Sovereigns of the Allied Powers, of the successes of the British arms in the sotith of France, especially since the decisive battle cif Ortbes. This facility of communication afforded by the enemy to our Messengers was, most endoubt utilyt elseh in our favour. It has been found so, aid suil ,l. litherefore, In all likelihood, be denied as ill tutu*, until preliminaries are actually signed at Chadlloti, or elsewhere. The very mention of the word Bontsow mast necessarily be a blister, a very esmkk to . 16. nerves of ?Winton' and as that - ,771magappppir•-r.7l...7.W.W,ClilirD=;•;:mil - • f..-prfr 2 , name, and the family which bears it, most be *rpetnally recited or remembered wit shat bras happened at Bourdeaux, we cannot be e lm prised. that BONAPARTE does every thing in me . power to frustrate the mention of it ; or atten tive the force of its sound, by making it travel a cir cuitous road before it vibrates upon those ears to which it is peculiarly directed, and, on. whom it is calculated to operate, viz. the Royalists. This is the reason, the sole and obvious reastntoteuriamieg remained so long without intelligence ham the hagity interesting and contiguous tht;airooftaefics,dipia:. tic and military—and that the 11 w Prlitcheiti 'Lord CASTLEREAGH came thr o e git Rotioude• f making their way as heretoforiroflate;l6-.111 narrow i n passage between Calais atidtpver.

Of the actual change of condition in the contend'' , ing armies of BONAPARTE, and these of the Miley- , for the better or the worse, during the last tee dayt, little can be said, because the means of estimating, their respective strength are few aad dubious. Paris, indeed, is less spoken of, and less thought of, as bein in danger from the invaders ; and if any thing lik111 . „ the extent of sickness hasassaited the Austrian formai which is reported with an air of truth ; the necestitr of our enemy marching and counter-marching bet weed Troyes and Laon, first to oppose ScawArreettatne, and then to check OLOCITEIR, will be at an end. Not,, indeed, that we think this circumstance (settingesides, -the fat igtie - arid O)r has been of any disservice to his armies, consider+ ing the half-trained, half-broken-in condition of a great part of the French troops. We, on the whole, then, cannot but entertain the sincere opinion, and therefore are justified- in advancing it, that the suc cesses of our own arms in-the south of tiara 'in no wise tended to lessen the desire of the Members of the Alliance to establish a firm peace.; ; and that even the Mipitters Of the respective Poweri assembled on the occasioe baverseeer been more sin ' cere in their desire to accomplish the ostensible la bours submitted to them than at this instant :—to those I who alight not at once adopt our way of reasoning, or way of thinking, we recommend the attentive I persist of the Proclamation of ;the Generslissimiel the Emperor of AUSTRIA, issued at Troyes on thi) , 10th of this month.. 4 • Yesterday about one o'clock, the LORD Clf Ale'!"
