F rom one e n d of Europe to e °the r , t h e GOOD CAUSE advances with rapid ,• -141 gigantic strides. The wonders of a Campaign f older times are crowded into the common oc of "ttenees of a day. We talk of six or eight the strongest fortresses in the world lutsr rl't surrendered, as if their solid walls were h►y so many nuts t o crack. The word ''im t'gnable" seems to have lost its import, and 14% c4rigival meaning of the ktill stronger phrase " impossible" is extinguishc.l it tsitr Memories, We have, indeed, an indistinct notion that the former used somehow or other to be applied to Sebastian, toPauiplona, to Zara, .to Dantzig, to Nimegen, that the latter was employed iri speak i• ng,. of the passage of the Rhine,' of maintaining a British army on the Continent, of tho march to Paris, and a variety of other operations, which now .seem to be scarcely difficult.—But we have too much important information to notice to have time to descant upon this curious alteration in the.force of terms and depreciation in the stan dard of language. Yet, before we proceed to the French, Dutch, German, and Italian news of the day, yve take the liberty of laying before our Readers a letterfrom a Correspondent on whom we have the utmost reliance, the contents of which, combining with the other matter, strongly confirm our established belief that the Crisis of the Corsican Dynasty is at hand. " .T.IN. 11, 1814. " I have seen," says our well-informed Friend, " Persons who left France last evening (Monday last) at five o'clock. The People are in a state of the utmost confusion, and are like a flock of . sheep (excuse the simile) looking for a Leader. Their fears, or better feelings, wagnify the anibunt of the. Allies marching on Paris to 400,000 men, and they know of no obstacle of importance to check their progress. Every Soldier, and every piece of ordnance and musket, is taken. front the sea ports and all other towns, and marched to the dep6t of tile army collecting for the defence of the' capital! ! " The military duty at the sea-ports is done by the fishermen ! " The above is given me by the partieS who w►tncsscd'.all they state. " It is also said, that 60,000 of the Allies are to penetrate into Francre by way of Italy ; and the Marquess WELLINGTON is to cross the coun try from Bayonne to the Southern Pyrennees, and act in conjunction with thebefore-mentioned fOrce."- The Dutch Papers to the 10th, read as a con text to the French Papers to the same date, and both inserted in our preceding pages, lay the po litical state of Europe, as in a map, before us.— Iu Fra'nce all is hesitation, doubt, and consterna tion. We hear of armies hbOut to be where armies ought, from the exigencyot the case, to have been long since stationed ; of the march of troops to destinations lOng since occupied by their ene mies; and of brilliant reviews of a date when there ought to have been long since ac counts of brilliant victories. On the other hand, the Allies, with an unanimity unexampled in the history of Coalitions, have invaded the Dominions of, the arch Enemy, with a force unparalleled in the annals of the world, and utterly irresistible by the single 'power of France even in her days of greatest vigour strength, far less ,in her „present state of ex haustion. From this relative situation of the contending parties, such splendid event; as we arc in the daily habit of 'communicating are to he expected. Such events as that which we yesterday announced in our second Edit ion,thdßevolution of the important Sate of Geneva, thereby laying bare another weak point of France to inroad ; such events as the fall of Torgau, and the transmission of the besieging ar tillery employed against it, to bring the same fate to Wittenberg ; such events as the taking of Blamont in the valley of the Daubs (not as stated, by a mistake of our contemporaries, in Lor raine) the first surrender in proper France ; such events as the capture of Zara, in the Adriatic, and Gluckstadt, on the Elbe. But all these things, great as they are, sink into insignificance when we come to tell of 200,000 men, with an advance of 40,000 terrible Cossacks penetrating through the least defensible provinces of Eastern France, while WELLINGTON carries successful inva sion through the South and \Vest, and Bur.oti, with 50,000 men bursts the barrier of Flanders, and Br.uCHEn, the valiant BLuen Ea, at the head of 100,000 of his gallant Soldiers, crosses the broad waves of the Lower Rhine, and forces his way by the nearest Road towards Paris. Truly, the fears of the French are not exaggerated ; with out accounting the army in Holstein for any thing, they have fully more than Four Hundral Thousand armed and veteran and vic torious warriors to combat on French ground ! ! Well may BUONAPAATE transform his Paris into another Dresden, and make it the centre of his defensive system. He can do no other—whither will he fly when be flies from this last resort ? ! It would appear that BLUCHER had in the first instance came in contact with MACDONALD be tween Cologne and Bon. A letter of the Bth at night, states that an action had taken place be tween a column of 23,000 of the Allies and the enemy, who opposed the ramp u the Rhine, MO that dig isss was severs. At ..trasturglii however, Miley, know better, for they assert (vide EJ'tntir • Papers), that " all is trail:- quit the Lower Rhine'' : we intagitie vve thatl''next have it affirmed, from Dus , seidorif, that all is tranquil on. the Upper Rhine, The further they are removed from the site of operations, the more agreeable to 800- NAEJAIITE must be the tidings sent by his corres. pondents: These Papers are -also filled with stories of excesses committed by the- invasive Al 'lies.---Other appeals then have failed, and the French are to be terrified into resistance ? Does the Tyrant not know, that extreme terror is as likely to stupify as to excite ? MoaTtEa' is expected at Langres—at LangreS ! why it is half way to the centre of France !—More excitement to the people, atitl on a par with M. SEGUR'S address to the depart. ',lent of Aube, in which he trails o'er the defeated projects (" ram- projects") of his poor Master, and gives a view of the miseries of invasion, such as flows from the pen of an eye witness to similar transactions, and bears all the features of expe rienct-taught truth in the speeches and writings of these bloodstained Frenchmen. The Dutch Papers present the reverse of such Gallican lamentations and falsehoods. The So vereigns of the Continent declare to the Dutch Ambassador, that they twill support people who ha‘,:e so bravely broken their chains with their own hinds. Cossacks burn to revenge Moscow on Paris, and teach the cold-heartdd Wretches of the Imperial gang in that ,city what are the horrors they have been so long inflicting on others, while secure at home they took nes view of the mass of wretchedness, but vilely calculated how much of .Conquest-, or spoliation would accrue to their cursed leflder 'and themselves : Switzerland is raised to Independence, and the territories torn from her by- Corsican friendskip. will be restored. On the • left of • the Rhine too, the Inhabitants have welcomed the Invaders as deliterers. In the South, it is now erifient, that MtraaTiS only anxious to make the best bargain he can for We cannot even enumerate the favourable re ports in circulation ; the above authentic details are enough fur one day's gratulation. Tipt PRINCE. REGEST.-Monday evening, his Royal Highnes-s the PRINCE 'REGENT, and his scittl'ilrerived'at - linclttlen-palace, the residence of the Bishop of LINCOLN, where a sumptuous din ner wa's . provided for his Royal Highness, and where he slept that night: At half-past ten o'clock yesterday morning, .his Royal Highness and suite left the-Palace, and in the afternoon ar rived at Cavlton-House. The PRINCE REGENT is expected to go in state to the Chapel Royal, St. James's, to-morrow, being the day appointed for a General-Thanks giving. The Princess SOPHIA continues indisposed. The Count Dc GRAM MONT. has left town on his return to Lard WELLINGTON'S head-quarters. Lord CAMEREAGH was, we learn, to quit the Ungue on Saturday last, for the head-q'.:rters of the Allies. _ _ Her Royal Highness the Princess of ORANGE arrived in the Hague on the Bth. Notice was sent by a courier last night, that she would reach the Palace in the Wood in the morning, where she would breakfast; in consequence of which Guards of Honour and of the city were called out, and marched in procession to. the Wood. They were soon followed by the Prince of ORANGE in a coach and six horses, accompanied by the Hereditary PRINCE. The meeting of the husband and wife, and of the mother and son, was very affecting after so long an absence. On the 9th, Lord CASTLEREAGH dined with the Prince of ORANGE. The Dutch Officers who have arrived in Hol land, front England, 194 in number, are to be formed immediately into a Guard of Honour to at tend upon the Paince of ORANGE. Sit TLIONIAS GaAnAst has had a slight return of the complaint in his eyes; but is now much re covered. General VANDAMMR, it is said, lodges at the Kremlin, in Moscow, and has every day the view of the French prisoners at work, wilo are forced to bail(' the houses burnt and destroyed during their invasion. _ It is positively asserted in two letters, that Bun- NAPARTE, within a very short period, has been at Strasburgh, where he remained only a few days, and then returned to Paris immediately on hearing of the passage of the Rhine by the Allies. It is added, that he bad ordered a large body of troops to follow him, determined to make the French ca pital his head-quarters. Of our troops in Holland, by the last accounts, the Ist Royal Veterans were in Willenistad, with some artillery. The cavalry were sent on to Klundeft as they landed. On the 2d instant, Ge neral Gum marched with three British regiments, the 34th, 54th, and sGth, to Breda.. The 37th remained at Klundert. On the 3d, the British (as we learn from a private letter) advanced as fat as six miles ,from Bergen-op-Zoom, but saw rto ground on which they could attack 'that fortress, which is well garrisoned, and in a most respect able state of defence. Breda was to be taken 'possession of by General Grans on the evening of this date. There was lately a review of the Guards of Ho nour at Metz, at which the Dutch Guards of Ho nour were surrounded by the French Gens d' Armes, and were ordered to lay down their arms. They were removed to Verdun and Dijon ; those who had been long in the service to the former place as prisoners of war, and those lately enrolled to the latter,- as hostages.

A new Opera. was represenied last night, at Druty-lane Thetre, the title of which is Naren sky ; or, the Road to Yaroslaf. The ~scene lies chiefly in a Russian village. 'lt is needless td enter into a detail of the fable, as it bears a strong resemblance to many oth& dramas of the- &and kind, in which robbers are introduced in their caves, as well as ,in their hostile operations, and in which lovers are separated, and get. into the hands of banditti. Indeed, in one circumstance, this piece bearS a striking re , semblance to The Miller and his Men, as a person pretends to 'join the Robbers, in order to rescue their victim, and bring them to justice. ,But the Opera of last night s though- rather lan guid and dull in the first act, and partly in the cond,,is by no means devoid of interest.upon the whole, and as the heavy Parts are mere redun dancies, they may, of course, be lopped off u+ith oth d effect. The second aet should conclude with the appear- , ince of'.the father and (laughter in the hands, of the robbers, as hence an awful suspense would re main on the audience. And it the piece-were to conclude With the triumph over the robbers, and the curtain were to descend while - the soldiers are pointing their musquets, the probable conse quences of marriage, &c. &c. %Our!l leave the.au. (Fence with an adequate impression of poetical justice. lint, in fact, this pice, ought chiefly to be considered, according to the technical term, as a vehicle for music and sf•edery, and in thest respects the Managers have done their duty.—The music does credit to BRAHAM and REEVE. At: echo - song by the former is beantfal 111 composition, and was so admirably'eiecuted by- .BRA.HANI as tO, .excite a doubt whether his Under-voice was not u distant . resporiSe. There was also a trio,, com posed by . BiZAHAM, of great merit, and which had all due'support from himself,,Mrs. thi:KONS., and Miss KELLY. The comic songs were chiefly 1.1 REEVE, and were gay and spirited. The play was much indebted to POPE, RAE, LoVEGROrg, KNIGHT, MrS. DICKONS, and Mss KELLY. , The two brothers, acted by L oVE G ROVE and KNIGHT, are rather caricatures than representa tions of real life, the one being excessive in cow ardice,and the other in coxeombry. The piece was . written by a Mr. BROWNE, who has, it seems, long resided in Russia, and hence we may account fontbe'resemblance it bears to many others which probably did not reach his knowledge. The Rus sian costume in dress and scenery, we understand, is perfectly correct. There was a very pretty, though not new, Russian dance, between young BYiu and Miss SMITH, which they executed so well that it was encored, as were many of the songs in the piece. The house was crowded, and the decision of the audience warmly favourable. CORN-EXCHANGE, JAN. 12,--In consequence of . the frozen state of the rivers there was no busi ness done this morning ; the samples, for the most part, remained tied up. Prices the same as on Monday. On Sunday an intimation was given from the pulpit of several oftil their r e o el ., i v t il r .,b eh ceF. es .es o t ts e t I n t , e , re,i) e,;,t Metro polis, that a collection would be made to-marrow for the humane purposes of the Patriotic Fund at LLOYD'S. The measure will, we trust, be general throughout the count] y.
