By a Gentleman who left. Helvoetsluys on the ‘3d-inst. we learn that accounts had reached that place positively stating . the entrance of the Allied troops into Brussels, without any opposition on the part of the itthxhitants, who appear •to hold BUONAPUITE in the uttnott detestation. No ac- - counts reached Helvoetsluys of the reported vic tory of BUONArARTE on the 29:11. As soon as it was learnt that he had left Paris, the Allies were in motion. The garrison of Ant werp was said to consist of seven thous-and men, but composed of diff:rent nations, and therefore, could not be relied on. The rivers vtere frozen in Holland, but the people were ir, high spirits', and looking forward with ale most sa:Tttinc hopes of securing their independence, and recovering . their commerciarprosperity. • The French Papers to the 3d, the arrival of which , we mentioned on Sattuday,"and in alluding to which we yesterday expressed a hope that it was not possible they could have been withheld had they actually reached this country; are . , at last, perinitted to appear,. and will be found in our 'preceding Columns. To say . that .theii conceal ment \since Saturday, for the purposes of Jobbing, is scandalous, is to use the mildest word possible. 'We thought we could not have been deceived in • the intelligence we.gave the public ; but when two days elapsed, and still the Journals, of the ar7 rival of which we spoke, remained in utter dark ness in some dirty Alley near the Royal Exchange, irebegan even to doiiht our own information ;tor we could not imagine that the impudence-Of the.par ties concerned in these transactions s ctmld have car ried them to the extent, so long hiding the news of events at present so vitally interesting to the country.. - Now, however, that we have these important • 7 . Prffits before us, • we congratulate Publie,on . . their according so perfectly the character of . . the late actions which our excellent private in formation from the opposite coast enabled us so fully and distinctly to draw three days ago. It will be discovered, on a perusal of the Extracts, thatIkoNAPARTE has not been figi' 0- for victory, but for sal vatiOn--M0 IZTI ER had been defeated, and compelled to retreat to Troyez , , 'and after driving in the advanced posts of the Allies nearTitry, St.Di and Yassy, Du osAPARTE advanced,hotagainsf enemy in his front, on the route .to Nancy, or even towards Langres, but " in the rear" of the Allied force, which. upon his right flank was pur suing the corps of MOLITIER, which it had routed near Bar-sur-Aube, and whose wounded, sent to Nogent-sur-Seine, we . remarked at the time, af forded a sufficient pt'oof of •the extent of his disaster. It was, therefore, indispensably ne cessary for the Tyrant, in the - first instance, to extricate this Marshal, whose retreat ex posed the main French army to be taken on the right, and cut off. In,this attempt Ole great Captain appears to have been unsuccessful. His pag:asites say he has cut, his way to Brienne, and taken than place—but Brienne is nearer Paris than Dizier, and Arcis-stn-Aube, where the Cossacks established themselves, in a direct line , between it and the Capital—But it was not to Arcis alone that these brave wiirriors had made their way— at . Sens, within little more than _7O miles front Paris, they came re , ::ommended to the Mayor as most peaceable and well-deserving persons from the Mayor ofAreis., who olcourse knew them well, though the French writers assert that they were not admitted within the place—From Sens to Fountain bleau is 35 miles—from Fontainbleatt to Paris 35 miles; so that it is evident that the Corsican's legacy of a visit from the Allies is likely to be paid by the l ight troops of the left of Prince SCHAWARTZEN- BERG ' 3 army, even earlier that: by those belonging to Marshal (Push-On) 13.Luctin,a. In fact, the t Cossacks were . within one of their extraordinary . marches of Paris—a.city at which they ire most anxious to. have a peep, as they are great admir ers of the arts, of the labours of which that den of robbers is the repository. The unadorned truth of all the rumours given in the minor Papers amounts to this: that from the 27th to the 30th the enemy had been, engaged in sharp actions with the advance of the /killed Army, which, as is invariably the case, fell back'. contesting the strongest positions, on the grand force. As for the 43 pieces of cannon,,the 15,000 prisoners seen 'and counted by the Courier riding post with the glorious - news; they are the flourishes of Gallic rhetoric ; Mere exeres ceneei of style, of. the veracity of which a very competent notion may . be formed by es timating them with the story of 30,000 of the Allied Veterans being defeated by 15,000 French ball raw conscripts, and losing 4 or 5000 killed, while of these impenetrable heroes only - aloout 300 fell ! ! ! The fable concerning the country people with scythes, forks, &c. is equally authentiethe Cossacks ere ton efficacious and terrible in the character of light troops to admit of the possi bility of the fact here statel. King Josnrit reviewing troops in Paris is whim sical enotzli.—Poor JOSEPH ! he is the King of every where or of any where. A dispatch from Sue lIET, dated Barcelona 18th, demonstrates, that he has nothing to boast of which can raise the drooping spirits of the Corsican faction ; and that the Allies have resumed their activity, and become the assailants on the Llobregat. It is with considerable pain we lay before our. Readers the General Orders issued by General BaYNES relative to the late affairs in Upper Ca nada. BUt we trust that the confirmation of the following intelligence will give us cause to forget the misconduct of any part of the British force, in rejoicings at neiy proofs of gallantry and con duct in others. .`` St. John's, New Brunswick, Dec. 31,_ 1813. " This morning we have a report, in a Poston. paper of the-20th inst. that WILKINSON'S army . has beerrsurprised in their encampment, and cat up,- by our forces from Montreal, &c." The North Ames ican Papers, whence our ex tracts are taken, are to the end of December. The Proclamation of the Allies, in our first page, is calculated to touch a chord which will awalt'en the best feelings in France—the restora tiob of upwards of 300,000 prisoners to their fa-: milies and friends, ought to secure the overthrow of the Tyrant.

Lori into, and the anxiety they felt to pay every homage to his person. The Lieutenant Governor having withdrawn ? Mr. Engelhard, in an elegant and imPressive speech, introduced the sabject of the .IC'eling, and concluded by proposing the draft of an Address to his Excellency Lord Minto, which was ap provektinanimuusly, and carried by acclamation: Several of the most tespeaable of the Dutch Ocptlemen fOlOwed Mr. ..lingelhard in taking review of the /1011 y important advantages which ,the colony, and particularly the Dutch Inhabi tants„ had derived from the personal considera tion of his Lordship. We regret exceedingly that we have not,at pre sent the means .of affording our, Readess a trimsla don of the whole ,proceedings. Sentiments of loyalty and gratitude - were per haps nc) , •er more conspicuously evinced than 'on this occasion. • The Address was signed by all the Dutch Gen tlemen present, and ordered to lie for further sig- natures for a wtek. When the Meeting broke up, a ,commission proceeded .to the Government House to return the thanks of the Dutch Inhatitants to the Ho nourable the Lieutenant Governor for the sanc tion which he. had. afforded to the Meeting, to report its proceedings, and to offer their expres sions of attachment to his lix4liency's Rei - son and to his Government. We h..pe hereafter to be permitted,•to lay before our'Readers a ttanslation of the Address. • During the last week the Honourable Compa ny's freighted•ships Charlotte and Mary, having on board .Messrs. Wardenaar and Ainslie, pro ceeding as Commissioners to Japan, with their suite, sailed trout Batavia: Roads. These vessels are laden with very valuable• cargoes, and the mission, which has ,been undertaken on 'a very. liberal and eN.tensive footing, promises to re-esta blish a •comuiereial intercourse . with the Japan Empire., Four years have elapsed since the Dutch Government at Batavia had any communiCation .With . Japan, and it is natural to conclude that the Factory is considerably distressed • for supplies. — The commerce of- japan is of -pecular importance to Java, by affording a rea:ly and • auvantageous market-for -the produce of this . Island, and iiir nishiug in return copper and camphor, articles al ways in demand. In the present investment are inciuded several valuable ameles•of gritish manu facture; and if the. trade is again opened, it uray be expected that not only the advantages formerly derived to Batavia will be resumed, but that a commercial intercourse oti a mote extensive toot ing may be hereafter establisned. • Enna:rum in Qerman Advertisement of Snturday.—Thr,Cl, inserted as given Messrs.
