They are to be sen t i T ransports, and every species of Vessel that be speedily chartered.. Again we say, " GOD llced the Good Cause !" I"renela Papers to the Bth reached Town last n ight, and Moniteurs of the 7th refute, at least l) to that date, the rumour circulated in the City Yesterday, that in a commotion which had taken dace in Paris, the 'materiel of this Organ of the l'yrant and fountain of delusion had been destroy ell‘, by the populace.

In addition to the.

W e Itt'w nuder,tand, fro good authority, that they ll4 ve not .Only appeared in the neighbourhood of Lth kirk, hut are moving- all along the Coast in search nf adventures. Am ong the ot h er report's which we h ave to Ilutice from thi4 source, °Lie eerttinly mot the feast ii 'point of irnpOrtanee, is tfiat a great pro portion of the French Army have laid drown their arms. No place or date are assigned to this state ment, but as it has obtained very genera difilsinn, and is repeated with much :confidence, we are willing to believe that it must have arisen frout some event, perhaps not quite so extensive, With which we ate as yet only thus indistinctly ac quainted. . Having laid before our Readers the substance of these interesting Private Letters, for which we are indebted to a very able and intelligent Friend, we shall return to the contents of the Ft ench Pa pers. From these it appears, that the Manoeuvre of Marshal Pusri o! , l bad been crowned with the most complete success. On the sth, BUONAPARTE having crossed to the right of the Marne, after a long and harassing march from Troyes, had his head-quarters at Bery-le-bac, on the road be tween Rheims and Lion, and also - (probably on the morning of that day) at Fismes, which is on the road from Rheims to Soissons, and a few miles south from Bery-le-bac. In this direction he states 'the unted corps of the Allies under BLUCHER, SACILEN, YORCK, \VINZINGE RODE, and BuLow, to be retreating—a retreat that will not alarm any person in this Country, as it was foreseen that the plan of the Campaign would dictate this very movement. But what must the people of France think of the resuscita tion of the three first mentioned of these corps which they were assured had been so utterly ex tinguished by the middle of last Month ? But for the treason of the Commandant of Soissons (there is always some accident happening to the Corsican) this Army would once more " have been lost." — This Commandant it seemed opened the gates to the flying Allies, and most contumaciously shut them iu the face of the pursuing Emperor. Why did not the latter force them as WINZINGE RUBE did before ? The reason is obvions-lie was incompetent to the measure, and the whole story about treason and treachery, is a flimsy fa brication to gloss over his failure. it is gratifying to remark (however we are as sured by the Chronicle and other weak or wicked Journals of the inviolable attachment of the French to BUONAPARTE), that the Tyrant himself is not so well satisfied with their devotion to his 1 cause. Not a bulletin does he now issue without some complaint or accusation against his own fol lowers for not fulfiling the expectations formed by his fiery and impatient spirit. Nay,, his indigna tion rages as fiercely against his own sub jects and functionaries as against the Cos sacks. bike the Crookbacked Despot, be would have darkness the burier of the dead, and the apathy with which he treats France must hasten his downfal, by increasing the odium with which the people now view their curse, and the curse of the human race. The two Decrees from Fisnies are remarkable instances of this destroying disposition. In the first he invites the country people to take up arms and attack the Allied. Soldiers, declaring that he will make re prizals on his prisoners for every French citizen punished for this insurrection : in the second") e p ro- Claims all Mayors, &c. traitors who do encourage this species of resistance. To what do:hese decrees tend ? to the depopUlation of France by the in discriminate slaughter of the whole people. But what cares the Usurper for the Country or the People ! He knows and feels that they have no interest in him. We will not go itito the poli tical question of the usage of war ; but this we will say, that in all countries which the fero cious Tyrant has invaded, he has punished the rising of the people, (that very rising which in his desperation and fury, he now evokes in France) with death. It was for this offence that he but chered thousands in Italy—for this he assassinat ed IloFFr.a, and massacred the peasantry of the Tyrol—for this he condemned to military trial, and caused to be shot multitudes of Spanish Guerillas—for this he executed at one time 300 Citizens of Rui,sia, who were performing the order of ROSTOFCHIN their legal head—and yet the murderous and bloody Slave would give up the people of that land (unhappily subjected to him), inevitahle and horrid slaughter, by inciting them to that act which must bring ruin upon their pro perty, and death upon themselves. The occupation of Rheims by General Coast- NBAU, on the sth, the old defeat at Lusy, and , a new defeat at May (which is about six miles from Lusy, as Lusy is about G or 8 from Meaux) with a loss to the Allies of 4000 men and 600 waggons, 8:c. arc the only other military matters stated in this Report. They are undeserving of serious consideration. Letters froto AUGER AU, at Lons Sasluier to the 2d mention the taking of An necy, and the approach of the advance from Lyons towards Geneva. COllla BUBNA, reinfor‘ced by General BIANCUI,, will have a corps of 30,000, to AtfciriiAi.T's vs'e trust ; speedily restore affairs in this quarter: We have made further e.xtraatt from hutch Papers. We rejoice to beat that the CROWA PRINCk was at Leige on the 27th as he li'ad push= ed forward his divisions it is likely that BLUCHER Would be so much strengthened by the COI or as to be able to meet the Tyrant single handed. Ten thousand Men under WALmorykx Massed through Bremen on the 28th February and Ist instant. General GRAHAM with the British, had broke up to re-approach Antwerp. Head quarters Cahnhout. The commencement of operations against Bay onne is again stated to-day, on the authority of an Officer who left the Army on the 24th. A bat tery of heavy artillery had been constructed for this purpose, and it was supposed that a sensible impression would. be soon made upon the works. The siege was 'principally entrusted to Major- General DOWINTIE, Who commanded a Spanish Di tision of considerable numerical strength. We have beard that the whole of the American Flotilla on Lake Erie has been destroyed by the British land forces. The Chronicle of to-day gives the following as a Postscript to Count D'EicAa's letters. If cor reet (which we suppose it is), all parties. con cerned in withholding it have acted very disin gcnnonsly towards_thc Public. P. S. " Croirait-I'on que le Comman.lant Antrichien, qui " esL un General, a ttiS chaqa de ce mouvement ?"- 7 " Will " it he believed- that the Austrian Coininandaut, who is a " General, Was shocked at this movement?" - It is - reported that the Commander of Antwerp and the General of the Allies blockading that city, had had an imerview, wJien, it is said, a proposal was made to surrender the place. It is the Princess INIARY whose hand report is giving to the King of PRUSSIA. , Yesterday the Duke of YORK transacted mili 7 tart' business with the PRINCE REUENT at Carlzon House. The Duchess of York has Dot left York House since her arrival in town, in consequence of her Royal Highness being indisposed with aslit.,ht cold. Viscount SIMITOUTII waited upon the PRINCE REGENT yesterday. . . . _ After the Dutch Minister had retired from the presence of the PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton house, on Wednesday, his Royal Highness re ceived a visit froru the Princess CHARLOTTE. Yesterday morning Mr. (11,AsE, of the Bank, waited upon the Gentlemen of the Stock Ex :liange, and informed them that the CHANCE:LLOR of the EXCHEQUER would be ready on Tuesday next, to receive the. biddings for a new Lottery. The narrow escape of Lord WELLIZICTON and Sir ROWLAND HILL, from a shot which killed the horse of the latter gallant officer ender him, is eircunrtantially described in the following letter received in Shropshire, the native county of Sir ROWLAND, from one of his Aides-de-Camp.. "ST. PALMS, FEB. 20.—1 was riding in front of Lord We.t- LiNercoN and Sir ROWLAND, with our of his Lordship's Aides-- de-Camp, when in crossing a French battery a round shut passed between us, then wept very near Lord WLILLItiaI oN's head, and afterwarsis struck and killed Sir RowLAND's horse. The ball entered the shoulder of the animal, paged through his body, and vent between the lugs of the rider. The (;c 7 - neva) vas a little hurt by the fall, but nut by any means seri ously. You may better, judge than I can describe our alarm, until we ascertained that this was the case." A►► extraordinary elopement took place in the west end of the town within these few days. The Lady has not been n►ore than six months a wife, and the gallant is a man of sixty! The whole of the valuable library of Lord Motaa, including ►many Oriental works. was de stroyed by the late conflagration at the Custom- House. The Earl of Oxroan lost all his linen, and some articles of plate nt the same time. The Gentlemen compo3ing .the Special Com mittee of the Stock Exchange came ou Wed nesday to a resolution to print the Report of their inquiry into the'late nefarious transaction. We understand that there was at first a difference of opinion among the Members on this subject, some doubting the propriety of publishing the Report, while others'..tnaintained, that it is the duty of the house to make a full disclosure of all the authors apd abbetors of the imposition, and of all the cirChmstances connected with i:, as the most effectual means of guarding the public against a recurrence of such disgraceful practices. In /he end, however, the Committee, by a great majority, confirmed the resolution for printing the Report. Infortnation, as we tinderstand, has been given, that a Prussian, who was lately living within the rules of the King's Bench, is the person who rt presented the sham Colonel DE 801.711 G. He is not yet taken, but the Police Officers are on the look-out. The Roman Catholics are, we understand, bit terly incensed against Dr. DROMGOOLE for having shewn too soon the cloven foot, and explaining so clearly and decidedly the principles and views of the Papists. They now declare their conviction that DROMGOOLE has betrayed the came, and that Government has bribed him to speak the truth and nothing but the truth. The Papists expected for home tune longer to have mystified, as the French call it, in plain Irish, humbugged the Protestants. On Friday last, a very numerous and most high ly respectable meeting mis held at the Craven Arms Jpn, in the city of Coventry, tor the-pur pose of forming a Society, whose object should be to put a stop to the pry sent illegal and pernicious practice of buying and selling corn and grain in the ditferent markets in this county, by measures of different and uncertain sizes, and fur bringing into general use and adoption, the legal or Wiu eba4ter bushel.

He was Ambassador to BUONAPARTE'S Court, and gave a grand fate at Paris in celebration of the marriage of NArotno.N •to the dangther of his So.- vereign. His Highness commanded the Austriin contingent in the Russian campaign ; he after wards returned to Paris in his former character of Ambassador ; and on the Emperor FRANCIS join ing the Coalition, he was appointed Generalis simo of the Allied Armies. We record as a circumstance highly to the. credit of British female feeling, that some Ladies, peculiarly sympathising with the distresses of their own sex in those times of suffering, whuliy their own, have combined their energies, and have pre pared many distinct parcels, each containing the following articles :—A blanket ; sonic mothers', girls' and infants' flannel clothing; mothers' and infants' caps, and shirts of muslin and calico ; one . cotton handkerchief, which are now shipping !smut. Sunderland to Bremen and Altona, as' presents to the distressed of their own sex, and as sliewing a commisseration which does them the highcs; honour.
