Di',patches, of which the folio% big are Extratts, have been received at this Office, from the Right Hoy. Lorti Bum:- - ungsu and . Lieutenant-Gen. the Hononralfle Sir CIIAHLES Wm. STuw.lary lc, B.; IXTRACT FROM LORD BURGITERSII, DATED VESOUT, JAN. 14, 1814. 6purstiance of the system I had the honour of detailing to your Tiordship in tny.last dispatch, as Amving heen:dekeraiiiied upon by Prince Schwart zetThergi .the - reserve, under the' orders of the orilesse, moved upon Besancon :on the 9th;•and completed the investment of that fort reSs. General liana had been destined to advance upon Dole, but the. direction of his march has been changed, and he has proceeded towar.ls Lyons. Since I last had the honour of addressing your Lordkhip, affairs of considerable importance have taken phice between the corps 'of General Wreck and the Prince Royal of Wirtemberg, and, the French forces in their front. The advanced guard Of Gefierat Wrede, under the orders of General' De Roy,• was attacked on the I Oth at St. Diez, by the corps of General.Mil haud, which bad lately been in occupation of Col mar This advanced guard was forced to retire behind St. Marguerithe.^ General de Roy having, however,' there assembled the force under his command, attacked the enemy, though superior to him in numbers, and drove him to Roon l'E tappe, tookfive hundred prisoners, and killed or wo.mded a considerable number of the enemy.— St. Dies , . was retaken. Gen. de Roy was wound ed in this affair ; the pursuit of the first advan tages was directed by Co!. Freyberg. , -General Wrede lost on this occasion ten officers killed or wounded, amongst whom he regrets par ticularly MajorHarrett, of the Bth regiment of infantry killed, and Major the Baron Pfetten, se verely wounded ; the loss in men amounts to - about two hundred.. The intention of General Milhaud, in his. at tack upon the Bavarians, seems to, have been to possess,himself of the debouches of the mountains of the - Vosges into the valley of the Rhine. 'This o !,j ec t (of the .greatest importance to the French armies) has been prevented by the good conduct of time troops, .and the able dispositions of General de Roy. General Wrede has since advanced with his corps to Rombervillers and Bruyeres. The Prince Royal of Wurtemberg having ar rived. at -Remiremont on the 10th, where he re ceived information. that a corps of trench, arrionnting to fair thousand Men, and composed Principally of the young guards of Buonaparte, was in the occupation of Epinal, be determined to attack it. lie nerved forward with the corps under his orders to effect that object on the 12th. General Coda Platow co-operated in this nrove- Inent, and marched by the right of the enemy to wards Charines in' his rear. The French-force re on the advance-of the Prince Royal. That °nicer, however, pursued with bis cavalry and some artillery, overtook the enemy, and took a considerable number of prisoners. The advanced 'guard of 'General Platow, com manded by General Grechow, arrived, upon the flank of the enemy, while retiring at Thaon, charged its cavalry, dispersed it, and took a mim her c.. 1 prisoners. The artillery of General Pia tow was viebayed by the badness of the roads, but arrived later - in the day, and did considerable ex l colon. • The enemy was pursued to Charmes 500 prisoners, a considerigile quantity - of baggage, arms, and accoutrements, remained in time power of the Allies. • The loss sustained by.the French, in killed and wounded, has also been considerable. The results of time advantages - obtained by 'Gen. Wr-2do aud the Prince Royal of Wurtemberg, have been to clear the stiiiit einntitry upon the 'Tight of Prince Sch wartzenberg of the presence . of..an my, to enable hith to employ the forceolnder Prince Aoval, in hit operations in fron'. of this place:iipon',tangtet,.6.nd th entrust the defence of his light to theetypt 'only of GeneralWrede.. • . Since the pasSfige of the Rhine byA:i - eii: Witt genstein,_ the •C6Ssacki under his orders::have had several successful affairs with the enemy. • , • .Un the 'ith, Genet:al Itudiger was directed to take possession of -Wanzenan. Upon his approach the enemy abandoned - the town, hilt took up a lOW infantry . and 50 - cavalry, near Hellbent] rneneral Itudiger chatged :this force, Aouk two oficers.and sixty men, and pursued the corps to the gates of Strasburg.. The enemy left seventy men killed on the .field of battle, and amongst them the Commandant of the corps. Buonaparte appears to have taken every means in his "cower to induce the people of France - to rise against the troops ' of the Allies, now:esta blished within their frontiers ; as - yet be has been tinsilccessful.- At Langres some shots were fired at a patrole of Austrians that entered that town ; if they were fired upon by the inhabitants of the place, it-was under the direct influence Of the' person sent for that purpose by Buonaparte. It is due, in justictito Prince: Schwartzenberg, to state to your •Lordshipthe excellent discipline he has maintained in the army under his orders, since his entry into France; 'no act of outrage of any sort has been .committed by the troops : Vio lence has been repressed with the utmost severity. It is equally to the honour of the troops, that they have abstained•frOm 'the pursuance of a far different conduct, of which; in the differenit coun- • tries•from which . they have been here assembled, 'they have witnessed the cruel example field out to them by the troops of France. -- 1 EXTRACT EItOM LORD pURGHERSIT, DATED LANGRES, JAN. 18, It is with cousiderrblc satisfaction I are CH abled -to date this dispatch from Laugres.• Your Lordship will have been informeq that a force, consisting of Buonaparte's guards, had oc cupied the Important position of this place. The mountains of the Vosges, which form one of the principal barriers to the entry into tilt heart of France on this side, offered a formidable position to a defensive army in the neighbourhood of this town. From the arrival of the guirds, it had been pre- Sinned, that a considerable corps of- French would be assembled here. Prince Schwartzen berg, in consequence, determined to advance. up on it with a force which should secure Itim suc cess in the attack of the position., Marsbal Mortier did pot await the advance of - the Allied army. It appears• that- on the .16th be began his retreat .from this place. On the 17th, General Gyulay pushed forward his ad vanced 'guard. 'The Commandant of the town endeavoured to capitulate for it, but he was told he must surrender ; he was left without the means of resistance. The levy en masse which had been ordered by Buonaparte„ had not been carried into effect by the people. General Gyulay, took possession of the place ; thirteen cannon which bad 'been- brought from Dijon, a considerable'. quantity of powder, and 200 men, have been capttired by-the Allies. Mar- Mortier retired towards Chaumont ; be oc cupied this place with 12,000 of the old guards, unsupported by any other troops. At Chaumont there does nut appear to he any reinforcement arrived for him : the Prince-Royal of Witrtenburg has been directed to march upon that town, and it is expected he will be in pos session of it this evrning. General Count Platow has arrived with his Cos sacks at Neuf Chateau, and has alrbdy pushed his patroles in advance of that place. The head -quarters of General Blucher were to have been • yesterday at Nancy. fhe Cossacks under Prince Tcherhatoff„ according to the last report from that Officer, were a d vanc i ng upon Toni. EXTRACT FROM THE pox. sill C. W. sTr.WAivr, DATED, BASLE (lAN. 17. . . The details from all the advanced coro con:•: tinue to be of the most encouraging description.,. Marshal Blucher has taken near three thousand . prisoners and twenty-five cannon, since his pas sage of the Rhine—his laSt reports, are from St. Arrol, of the 10th instant. Detachments of his corps occupy Treves, and i n : a f cw d a y s Luxemu bourg will be invested. " Marshal Marmont has been under the necessity, of making the most rapid forced marches .to pre vent the Silesian army gettink into his rear by the Vosges mountains. In his retreat, he has broken down all bridges over the Saar ; but Marshal Blucher is pursuing him. Your Lordship will:have from the advance of the armies, more detailed information than I - can give. Prince Schwartzenberg was still at Vesoul on the Vith. The enemy were collecting at Langres, and the Prince Marshal was prepetng to attack them if they remained there, which I should doubt ; be had made his dispositions for this purpose. The main' Russian army under Ge neral Barclay de T olly, will . be ready to support Prince Schwartzenberg's offensive movement. General Wittgenstein's corps occupies the country between General Barclay de 'folly and Marshal Blucher, and the ILISSiaII and the Prussian re serves, together with his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Russia, have left this' place to march on Vesoul. The,French garrison that retired into Besancon amounts to eight. thousand men.—Befort 'is still bombarded, and General - Schoffer commands the forces which it engages. General Bubna's last reports were from Bourg en Bresse, having left detachments at Geneva and Fort L'Ecluse (which was taken) and Setten. The Simplon and St. Bernard are occupied. The Prince of Wurtcm burg bad advanced from Espinal, the enemy re tiring; after their deteat by General de Roy, to wards Charmes. The Prince of Hesse Homburg, from role, and Gen. Scheither, surrounded the fort of Satins. ,Gen. Platolr's Cossacks arc heard of in every quarter. EXTRACT FROM THE HON. SIR C. W. STEWART, DATED BASLE, JAN. 22, 1814.

The Movementt of so powerful a force as the Allies now possess in all (Erections; upon any central point, render any position the enemy takes up so precarious, that I was 'satisfied (as I ventur ed to express in a fOrmer dispatch) they would riiit'hOld out , at Langres. Marshal Blucher's last reports are of the Mb, front 'Nancy. lk sent the keys of this town fo the grand bead-quarters ; the Emperor of Russia, met the otlicer bearing them, as lie was on his marcle to Vesoul ; he immediately sent two of the keys td. the King of Prussia,, reserving two for himself, with an appropriate message;, whiCh slims the anxious attention and consideration that exists between the Allied Sovereigns on every oc , : , casion. Marshal Blucher is in communication \ with General \Vrede's corps, and thus with the grand army. This animated veteran gives a vi gour and lite to all his proceedings, that affords an invaluable example to every professional man. It is with no small satisfaction I announce to your. Lordship another brilliant achievement of tinl Prussian arms. His Prussian Majesty is again master of Wittenberg, and by 110 other means but the glorious valour of his brave soldiers. The siege was' begun on the 28th of December, and the place was in pin- possession on the 12th of Ja nuary. No' impediment of the season arrested the spirited exertions of the besiegers : the enemy made a valiant -resistance. A breach was tuah on the 1 lth, and it was: practicable on the 12th, when a proposal to surrender was made, and re fused- At midnight the assault was detennined on in four columns ; the gallant Prussians over caine'every obstacle, and in less than half an hour they were masters of the place. All the gal rison that did not throw down their arms were put to the mord , . • The Governor had entrenched the Castle and the Hotel de Ville : the latter was car ried by . the troops, and the Governor, Wlao wars in it, surrendered at diicretioli, with the rest of" . the garrison'. capture would add much to the fame of that distinguished Officer, General Tanentzien, were it capat4e of addition, but his exploits in this war are too well known, ever to be obliterat ed .from the records of posterity. The siege has cost about 300 men killed and wounded, and the .assahlt about 100, and 7 Officer% wounded. The Prussians found sq pieces of artillery, and made 200o.prisoners. Torgan they already bad ob tained possession of 316 pieces. In these tort resses the Prussians have found considerable .razines of corn and glinpavder. , General Tauen tzienwill now proceed, to Mae,- debonrg. It is not to•be overlooked here, that every fortress thaCno‘v falls by the admirable dis positions that have, been made, augments very materially the loree advancing against the enemy. We hive thus reinforcement and three lines of re serve, as it were pu the Oder, the Elbe, and the Rhine, from whiCh we constantly derive aid. The head -quarters of the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia, will he transferred this day to Vesoul. • - WAR DEPARTMENT.

MY LOID --General. • llnlow, Commander in Chief of 'the 30 corps' of, the PrusSian arms, hav ing signified to me,—that in tho morning of the th lust. he was to carry into execution hisin tentiOn of driving the enemy from their position , at Iloogstraeten and Wortel; on the 'Alerk, in order to make a reconnoisssnce on Antwerp, and that he wished me to cover the i ris,lit flank of his corps ; "Moved such parts of the two divisions under my command as Avere.disp9s9ble front Ro sental, and arrived here at day-break on the morning of the 11th. The• enemy were driven back, with loSs, front West Wesel, floogstraeten, Ste. after an obstinate resistance, by the Prussian troops, to Braeschat, Westmeille, &c. Dispositions were made to attack them again tl►e following day, but they retired in the night of the 1 Ith, and took up a position near Ant werp, the left resting on Mercxeni. Gen.
