BAECARAT, (MEtntTna) SAN. 10.—Gen. Grou thy is in oar country with a superb corps of ca valry, holding thedefile of the Vosges. We daily see the forces destined to* combat the enemy in crease. The young guard has gained some suc cesses beyond Epinal. The account of these ad vantages has been sufficient td decide some Cos , sacks, which had appeared at Mercconrt, to ra pidly get to a distance. NANCY, JAN. 11.—The Pritice - alMoskwa an , rived in this town the evening before last. It is said, that an enethy's column, having-atitlltited between Strasbourg and Schlestait, has biell de feated by the garrisons of these two places : and that a great number of prisoners have been made. We expect the confirmation of this intelligence. METZ, JAN. 12.—0 n the 7th inst. the enemy appeared tinder the walls pf Sarrelaus, and placed some howitzers between Lautre and Loden. On the 6th, at five, A. M. some shells were thrown into the town. A flag of truce sent in tile morn lug, was not able to fulfil his ridiculous` mission. Colonel Gueret, Commandant d'Armes,_would not receive it ; the emissary did not enter the town, where he would have found a*arliket)4airi -14.1! • son, and a national guard ready ;to asi_st h .i;,, - in case of necessity. ,5txd.,.. • FRENCH FUNDS, J. 15 —Fifty-one fAntiV.:l LANGRES, JAN. citizen of this arrondis sement has just arrived here from the department of the 'Upper Rhine.

The Allied troops from Mulhouse to Schelestadt are estimated at 60,000 men.

All th a t was , in their ekiropp. and in the Porentruy, has fallen back upon cot mar. This, traveller, who spe a ki G erman extre m e l y well, conversed with several officers who were at INltillionse, and it appears from their conversation, that the enemy has an extreme fear of the levy en masse, and that thii fear induces them. to march with care ; they advance with precaution, and are persuaded that the Emperor is collecting all his forces to attack them. They, however, bestow on our soldiers, infantry and cavalry, the greatest praises. Their infantry are very young, their ca valry are better, hut ours is superior, both with respect to men and horses. Every body in Alsace agrees in saying, that the Emperor, even it he had one hilt less troops than the enemy, would .beat them completely, especially being seconded'hY the tnasse. it is very certain that the Allies are attaid of the levies of National Guards, ithd that they only advance in large columns from.fear'df being surprised. The enemy commits' many exceAses, ;. if be is beaten, he ought to tremble : the )ybole population will attack him in his rear, andThAlL, „cape with difficulty. Besides, the ntnnbesAfi, places he blockades, and proposes' to blockadei, ft nst enfeeble him very much. . . Marshal Augereau is arrived at Lyons, to. take the command there. PALtMA, JAN-. 3.—On the 30th and 31st Decem ber, a division of the Neapolitan army entered Bo ,gna, and was there joined, by a corpi of 500 wen, old cavalry, which had returned from the army in Germany. It appears that some columns are already on theiF march upon 'lmola and Fer rara, which gives reason to hope that the small port otis of territtry situated on the coasts of,:ttlig Adriatic, which have been occupied:by General Nugent, are entirely evacuated, and the•:*hole right bank of the Po will be free. _ : ',.,., 9 LUNEVILLE, end regiments•cif}ih fantry and cavalry, making part of the corps of troops of General Wiest - De, continue to pass through this city and Nancy to proceed to St. Die, where that General must have established his head-quarters.

NANCY, JAN. 9.—We now know the enemy with wbom we have to do. TheSe hordBs of Cossacks, CaJunks, Sze. received orders only from their particular Chiefs, pillagers by diameter, and froni necessity, they advance :30 or 40 leaguts into a country by.bye-ways-. If they meet with a small town, they give themselves out as the ad , vanced guard of a considerable body which is closely following them. The inhabitants, terri fled, give' them all they ask for, and even pre pare the contribthiOns which they require for their army. They then go away, and are seen no more. They proceed to some other place, and act in the same manner, an thus propagate alarm throng!, a whole province. Hence those reports, Which, transmitted from month to mouth, and magnified by pusillanimity, terrify feeble minds, but are found to be false the next day. Courageous only against the cowardly, the Cos sacks fly if they meet with the least resistance. They are not come to tight, but to pillage. But the inhabitants of this division %yell know how 'to defend their habitations. Convinced that firm ness alone can secure them front the ravages of the; enemy, they will unite, arm themselves, and thus save their wives, their children, and their country • GUELDIIES, JAN 6 —The head-quarters of his Excellency the Marshal Duke of Tarention are established in this city. The Maire of Cleves, who is there, has been charged by the Prefect with a mission very satisfactory to our arrondisse, ' ment, which is to collect all the receipts of the furnishings made in the way of requisititm, in or der to hasten their pay.

Antn.. ber of troops, as well infantry as cavalry, ar rived to reinforce him yesterday. lie has under )( is orders the 4th regiment of the Guards of lionour. . DIJON, JAN. 9.—The measures of defence are continued on all sides with an unexampled ardour. The service of the troops of the line, which . are at Dijon, is performed with the greatest exact ness. The soldiers, ,who are well armed, exercise daily. A great number of zealous citizens have offered themselves to march. A great number of military persons, who bad retired, ardently re quest permission to resume their arms. FLORENCE, DEC. 29.—The Neapolitan troops who were in this city, all left it yesterday and to-day ,' taking their way upon Bologna and the Po. 'They manifest an ardent desire to meet the common enemy, and try their strength with him ; in quality of Allies of the Emperor, the honour able title which his Majesty deigned to give them in his noble and touching discourse to the Legis :lative Body. The troops, during their stay at Florence, he havedthemselves with much order and good dis cipline, and merited the praises of the -inhabi tants.- General Filangiere wlio_ commands them, has displayed on this occasion, much zeal and the greatest care to prevent, or remedy at the instant; the smallest subject of complaint. According to authentic accounts from Verona, on the 20th, the enemy made two fruitless attacks on the side of Castaguora, in both of which he was repulsed with.great loss, and that our position upon the Adige, and at Verona, became every day better by the reinforcements which the Prince Viceroy revceies. BULLETIN OF THE CROWN PRINCE. Head-quarters, Kiel, Jan. 6. - The Danish Government having rejected the bases propos ed to it for a pacification, hostilities havethis day been recom menced in the mornin% The blockade of Rendsbourg was formed, and the advanced pests of the garrison were compelled to retire under the can non of the place. A Governor General foi the Duchiei of Holstein and Settles wick is appointed. • Au enemy's corps of more , than 10,000 men, with from .25 to 30 pieces of cannon, has made an attack on Breda. General Benkendortf, who defended the place, supported by a cum bined movement of Generals Billow and Graham, forced the enemy to retire,. That General conducted himself on .this, as on all other occasions, • with the courage and c oolness which .characterise him, and the talents by which he is.dis tinguished.

The Hanseatic Legion; which has just received a month's pay, hastened'td offer that Sum to the unfortunate inhabitants of Hamburg!), whom the Prince of Ecknrubl has expelled. This benevolent act does the more honour to these warriors, as the suns thus applied was destined to purchase for them several articles of equipMent. The fortress of Glucks:adt capitulated yesterday evening, .and was occupied this morning by, the ,Swedish troops. The garrison are prisoners of war, and will be transported to the island of Alsen, under an engagement not to serve for a year against the Allies. ,The number exceeds 300 men. General Boye and all the troops under his command, during the siege, have gived proofs of valour and perseverance.- The ground • which surrounds the fortress had been inundated, and the besiegers had to contend against rainy and unhealthful wea- - ther; finally, the -approaches to the town could only be made under a very vigorous fire of grape shot and balls. Any idea which can be.formed of the privations and sufferings which are undergone in besieging a . place in the middle of win ter, is much below what the soldiers experienced on this occasion The fatigues they endured places in still higher estimation •the talent of the General, and the excellent spirit with which. his corps is animated.

We have neither kei•(> l .ved . Letters nor Provin cial Papers this (I,P.y, :,•o that we take it for grant ed all communications with the Metropolis are now completely stopped. French Papers to- the 17th, one day later than those from which we made -extracts yesterday, . and , also further -extracts' from these wi-Il be found in this and our last , pages: Neither of them furnish us with military news .of any importance to add to that on which we have already mented at some length, in endeavouring to, lay a map of• the War under the eye of our .11eaders. The Allies having laid a broad foundation (the irhole of the eastern frontier of France), for ulte- rior Operations, proem' at 'once with vigour and caution. Through the whole extent of. their pro digious line they carry the country before them, and, taught by the fatal issue of BUONAPARTE'S invasion of Russia, theyavoid his example, and in stead of penetrating on particular points with ill connected masses whose communications are liable to be interrupted and cut off, and which, even if victorious, are exposed to destruction, they advance, as it were in line, with the most dis- tart corps at Coblentz, acting in perfect concert with its extreme Coadjutor at Geneva. In this manner, it will be seen, all the Enemy's positions must in succession be turned by the progress of the Allies on their right or left, and their detach ed Divisions must fall back eve❑ from the strong- est point's without our experiencing that loss which would he incurred in forcing them. The Tyrant's Press teems with appeals to the French people of every form, and in every possi ble style and manner. One sycophantgivcs them a touch of the history of our glorious EDWARDS and HENRys,whose exploits are no doubt brought forcibly enough to.their recollection by those of WULLINGTON% Another treats them with a dis sertation upon the politics of Russia and Austria ftir the last half century, in which he attempts to represent the latter as the invariable ill-requited tool of the former. This ruse to sow distrust between these Powers is too weak to have any effect, .for even were the retrospect just, as it is notoriously the reverse, it can have no applica tion to the present glorious contest, in which it is utterlyout of the range of possibility that any am bitious views entertained by Russia could at all interfere with the prospect of Austria to recover her provinces and dominions in the South of Eu rope front the grasp of :her despoilers.
