The Admiral, however, with Lis army. • fc,:.epiy..!,t, dispatched. one of his domestics to Dover to Ascertaiu t le correctness of the state ' flint, when it was to.und that a p‘irson in the mi litary garb, with a star and medal of merit, ar rived at the Ship Inn tbis morning about ten O'clock, and stated that lie was from France, .and• was the bearer of the intelligence above.alluded to, and ordered a chaise -and fOnr - for London. mediately ;ht sported a bag"of Napoleons-Tor ; but recollected he had a Bank of England Note or twit) in his pwcket, 'where they bad been laying some months, and with them he paid his bill at the Inn, and then departed - in style for 'London ; upon a stir being 'made by the Admiral aid Collector at Dover, a reference was had to the Notes, and it was discovered they Were indorsed by a Mercantle Firm in London, with the date, 13th FEngUARY, 1814. Here the cloven foot was visible, and the suspicions first excited fully . confirmed', and the pretended Co!. DE tIOURGH is now set down as a gross impostor. " This scheme, which av,as admirably lair!, and which would have succeeded, had it taken the Ad miral oil his guard, was doubtless intended for the purpose of Stock -jobbing ; settling day 1 believe is. at hand. II is to be hoped the perpetrator and Lis concern will -be diScovered, and held. up to publjc infarby." The Bank -notes above-mentioned can: no •doubt be easily traced, not only by their Numbrs, but by their specific indorsements ; and if any further proof is wanted to bring home the guilt of this most nefarious transaction to - th - e7partics con- • cerned, it can be furnished by the Editor of the Cou rier, in the name and hand -writing of 'whose Corre 4on dent atDovcr these Swindlers forged the letter in. which the fals e h oot l s or i g i na t e d , to hi s Office, which unfortunately deceived him in the first instance, 'and were afterwards corroborated by the arrival of the SitqngborneChaise.—Unb n these grounds, we trust the • Members of the 'Stock Exchange will proceed till they bring the delinquents _to justice, and to that exemplary punishment wh leh will detCr others from .following their ,example in . future.—We take it for grthated that all bar gains done yesterday in the Money Market, founded on 'this fraud, will be cancelled,' as on former occasions. "We now turn to the French - Papers, which are, as have stated, to the 17th only, though an • enlightened Morning Paper conjectures there are Moniteur; of two days later date iirtown, contain- tog no news of importance from the armies, and which are kept back for purposes equally base arid diAonourable with those- which prompted the stratagem of yesterday. We have not heard of these papers, and we are inclined to hclievc that none such have arrived. The new Report from BUONAPARTE to MARIA LOUISA details a battle fought on the 14th (not the 15th) near Montmirail, in which another vic tory is claimed over the Army of BLUCHER, which had been -already routed on this ground on the 116. The account of this battle is as confused and incomprehensible as any of the former. While employed, as he gives out, in the ,pursuit of the defeated corps of - SACEEN and VoN YoneK -towards the north, across, the Blame at Chateau Therry, where he repaired the bridges on the 13th, the Corps -of MAnmoNT, which was the force sent on the Ilth to'huld the Allies in check towards the east, in the direction of Chalons, I.v:ls attacked by General BLUCHER in person, and driven back, ins.a night march (on the great road from - Chalons to Paris), to Montinirail. BLUCHER is represented as having remained at Vertus on this road ,with twelve hundred men, during the three days in which his army was deStroyed'; it was therefore to hold 1200 men in check ? that MARNIONT, with a whole French Corps, was taken out of the field of battle: But 13LcronEa, being reinforced to the amount of 20,000,Men of tilt corps of LANGERON: and KLEIST, forced MArMoNT to retreat during the whole night of the 13th, and by this movement recalled BIIONAPARTE' from Chateau Tbierry, and from the pursuit of SACK;N iand- YORCK, only to obtain, a wore splendid advantage nn the 14th. In this action against 20,000 of the Allies, who had 'driven . MARAONT (Without toss) from Eines, 'the enemy had engaged BUONA- PARTE D BERTFUER, A1A1174 O,NT, NE.Y, ' LEFEBRE, BERTRAND, GROUCHY, and, if we may judge of the number of men by the number. of oiscers of the first rank, nearly the strength of the French Vet with -all this force, and with all the wonders perfoimed is on the preceding clays; the village of Vauchamp, where the struggle ensued, was. most - obstinately contested being, taken and retaken several times: The battle rag- ed from S o'clock till 2, when the French, bei• as they describe themselves, every where success- reached_the town of Fromentices, bezween Mohtmirail and Eloges 81/ONAPIRTE then or- dered GROUCHY to advance to CbtonNobert, a league in the rear of the Enemy, where BLUCHER, continuing his retreat, arrived at the point of nightfall. The result of this exploit Was the loss on t;' e part of the Allies of one half of their force, viz. 16,000 in prisoners alone, besides multitudes fled andAvounded ? The Other scanty moiety, however, are left; at night of the 14th, in a posi tion at-Eloges, where 014 were on the night of •13th, and some fourteen miles nearer Paris than BLVCXER'S old quarters et Vertus. , Upon the details- of this battle of the f 4-1), therefore, we may observe, that they are alo .Rether improbable, and<unwortlzy of credit. 'The fact seems to be, that *BtTONAPARTa had succeed ed in separating the corps of BLuct-tER's army from, each other, and in the first instance to obtain some important advantages over those of SACKEIN.T, and (perhaps of) VOYOuCK, by Which he saved Paris on this side; but that he was not permitted tb'follow up these successes is evident. Br ucliza has found full eniplOyMent forbim on the left of the Marne, and Moaxt,Ez, with his own division and MAcDONALit's hunted forces, is left to fight his battle on the tight of that river,where the "fu gitives," who are said to be flying in disorder to wards.ltheims, will be nut and rallied by WIN ZINGERODE, and eventually by thecltCAVN PRINCE. Why theyshould 11y,Th Col - tilts - ion and disorder, is a problem we•cannot solve; for they had placed the Marne between them and their pursuers 24 hours, som e measure be supposed to have recovered from their panic. In short, the whole of these state ments of the enemy, as. we have tzftett already stated, appear, more_ than ever, to.bemade up of falsehoods and exaggesiatiOns. Resting entirely as they. - nott do on the asser tions of a mitoiious. Impostor, we will nut follow these fables further than to observe, that all the successes obtained by the Allies are inv'ariably 'passed over in •utter ,silenr;e. We thus find that, Frevious to these affairs, MAcooNALD had been pursued by Vona Yor,cr to Meaux, about 30 miles from Paris, and that SAct ,- ..E.4 had reached Fertti.: sons Jotiarre, 'only one stage further, from the Capital: 13uoNAPArt;it's measures were therefOre barely in time to save it from the Allied right, and to this extent, after bald and constant, and equal fighting from. the 9th to the Morning of the 15th, we think he has succeeded, without, however, having either annihilated 'or toreed to retreat to-any important distance the serer al corps With Whfch he had come in contact. the mean time, what has.become of the main Allied Army (inner ScirwARTZEN BERG Fins it approached Paris still nearer on the left than VON 1 7 0.12 CK did on the :ight ? This seems most probable 5 , for we loran of no force to impede his advance except Vic- Tows corps, and we know that the order to march forward was to be given on the 12th !- The French Papers make no mention of this forre- , —and all the grotnd . of its inaction we Live to go upon, i- the date of the*Jonmals whence this news is derived. • We hare received. some more Dutch and Ger man Papers, our extracts from which will be found important. The ettowN PRINCE is marching upon the LoWer Rhine with an army of 70,000 men, and is to be followed by 10,000 Danes.
