What gratitude do we not owe.to those brave men who repel, with such magnanimous courage, all the efforts of the enemy. Our armies have shown him, that the French are especially invincible, when they fight to deliver their territory, under the eyes of their Sovereign. I.The successes which we hay.e just obtained have' animated our army with new courage, and ought to' be a presage to the other armies of the coalition, of the fate that awaits them. Let ua preserve, then, the attitude which becomes the French. Each of us has duties to fulfil, and it is by fulfilling them that we shall prove to all Europe that the French nation is worthy of the high rank which it occupies among civilized nations. What sacrifice can be too great when it is made to second the vie*s of Govertr meat.

The toasts drank were,— " His Majesty the Emperor ;"—" The Imperial Family ;"—" The brave men who contributed to gaining the victories of the 10th and 11th of this month, and disappointing the hopes of the enemy." In the evening the Mayor caused to be published, by torch-light, the second telegraphic bulletin, an nouncing the continuation of the victories pitied by his Majesty. The people of the good city of Lisle received the news with the most lively demonstratiopa of joy, and with repeated shouts of fire tEinpe reur. At tho same time these bulletins were read ill the Theatre, and inspired extempore songs, bearing the stamp of the purest patriotism, and the most entire confidence in the genius of the hero who has sworn to save France. It is affirmed, that, in R. sally from Anteterp, General Carnot has taken from the enemy a numEr ous park of artillery.. • FRENCH FUNDS.

The Prince Viceroy, who had mounted his horse at the same moment, made some columns advance to support the fire of the void geurs, who were warmly engaged. Lieutenant-Ge neral Grenier advanced by the heights on the right, with the division Maresguet, while with the division Fressinet, General Verdier marched by the heights on the left. The ettem), the ugh protected by batteries on the opposite heights, could not support the shock of our troops. All the positions on which they attempt ed to make a stand were successively carried, and they were forced to repass the Mincio. We took 200 prisoners, and they left an equal number of dead on the field of battle. We have had 20 men killed, and 150 wounded. Thus the enemy's second attempt has been baffled like tl,e first.

LONDON: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1814. [ .In a Second Edition, last night, we announced the arrival of Paris Papers to the 21st instant, and communicated the reports which prevailed as to their 1 contents. These reports, we now find, presented a highly-exaggerated statement of the advantages I gained by the Freoch, although we were correct in our information that French Papers to the above date had reached town, and that the military operations still continued favourable to the French arms.—The new action, in which .the Allies hare endured a re petition of disaster, was fought on the 18th, at Montereau. The Emperor having learned that the Bavarian corps of General WREDE ) with the Wk., temhergers, were placed in this position, advanced 'wards them with the corps of VICTOR and General' GIRARD, and the horse and foot guard. He was further strengthened by the advance of ' General /Jot., from Melo. The Allies attempted, but in lan, to defend their position—they, wee driven over . ' tr. - l e ' • •r% dh • • • o p.

That the full powers given to the Spanish Plenipotentiary, in the form of an orthographic let ter, from the want of the sanction of the Chancery, have been employed on the condition of substituting for the same, whenever the ratification shall be ex changed (if it should be exchanged), other powers, sanctioned by the ceremonies adopted in Spain. 46 Art. 2.

If lo .reeljty it • has been active, can the French Govecnoent :1161‘.. i bly expect to conceal its movements ?

The French people are told openly enough 'of the 'advance of ilikucitea, the approach of Wissa and the Wur-. tembergers, is not attempted to'be . coicealed from Ithem. Why, if it were possible, therefore, should the Government of France wish to. Conceal only the 1 operations of SCRWARTZINIERG•F There is only one . answer to these questions that appears to have the least plausibility ; and it is, that at the present moment, the Austrian Monarch is actually in i suspence as to his future policy, that. his armist are inactive : or at least extremely languid, in thee. • movements, in consequence of -this %decision ; ed . that although BONAPARTE enlertelip will-grounied hopes of a speedy arrangement' wiiit hhi I ;al /' i father-in-law, their recast:MOW b not yet M- I ciently matured to - be the abject et public eau lieu Ito the French people. Since the rupture of e . MP gociations at Chatillon, whet has become of AULIN• count ? We are aimless to hear where Wiwi dil -1 posed of himself, and how he 'employs Ma time. That he has not yet returned to -Paris, or to the head-quarters of the Emperor, the silence of the 1 French Papers assures us. It is remarkable, ! that the cessation of diplomatic intercourse has never been noticed in the French Papers; that attempts to inflame the indignation of the peo ple, by invectives against the duplicity and tergiversation of the . Allies, have not, since this event, which furnished so favottrable . akopportunity for them, been made. Is it that BONAPARTE medi tates the restoration of amity with some of the Allies, and, therefore, cautiously abstains from :accusations in which exceptions could not be made •iii -*loony of 1 any one without too explicit an exposero• of his ie - I tentions and hopes ? Whet appears More unaccount ! able than all the rest, is the peewit •conditiOn of I France, is the steadiness of price tuaititained by their Government , securities. The: All' . draw egf yi nearer and nearer to Paris, and thelleild property, instead of being, as one would expectomibsolute drug, incapable of transfer at . •ny . price, appears lactually to rise in value as they. approach that I capital. Is it possible that the dispeeitito of Aus tria to oppose the inordinate and aajost" designs of her Allies, can have become known In the money market, at Paris, although all allasiowto it is, by the policy of the Government, lorbidden to the pe riodical press? This supposition would at once ac count fora circumstance so extraordinary ; upoii any other, it is quite incomprehensible. If Alois wavers 1 ' in her adherence to' the cause of the Allies, their ad vance to the very gates of Paris would be an event most desirable to France, for it must at once deter-. mine the conduct of the Emperor FaAsets, and add ! to the countless dangers and Losses which the Allies could not fail to sustain in a retreat, which his de -1 fection would render unavoidable. The battle of the I.7th, at Nangis, which the French Papers published yesterday, stated to have terminated in a victorfon the part of BONAPARTE, is no further noticed in the Papers, which reached town last night, than by an annunciation, that the Austrian, Prussian ; and Rus sian prisoners, the results of that victory, had mi.. tered Paris on the 18th, by 'Ail' berrierit of Paulin and Charenton. On the 17th, the•ftexisisPas were entertained by a treat of rather It novel description, and which, in their Ketont s:4count. stances, could not fall to be received with the, most ardent enthusiasm. This was Abe entrance of ALSETIEF, and two other captive Generals, Who were led in triumph into their city: Private contri butions, to the greatest extent, of every article useful to an army, are said to be daily received at the ferent Mayoralties. .\; r The following communication from Boulogne wits received yesterday afternoon BO ULOGN T., rim. 21,, FIVII P. 11f,o $6.
