French Papers to the 13th have reached Town, being one day later than those of which the pub lic are already in possession. We have not seen them, but we rely on a friend who run over their contents in a hasty manner, that the Paper of the I`2lth announces in effect the following intelli- Bence : The Parisians are assured that BUONAPARTE had- defeated MarshaflkucHE a, and taken 12,000 Prisoners, and thirty-one pieces of Cannon. it is admitted that three French General Officers had been wounded ; VICTOR, GROUVELLE, (not Gaou cuv, as stated yesterday by mistake), and LAVAL. This is the magncation of the Action at Craone of the ith, and its results. On the other hand, a Hague Courant of the 14th has been received, which states that the gallant Ikucti ER had completely defeated BUONAPA RTE on the Ilth, with the loss of all his artillery, and that the Tyrant had fallen back on Paris with the wreck of his army, reduced to only 15,000 men. Upon this news we place more reliance than we usually do on intelligence througli the same chan nel. All previous 'cirennts•t flees tend to. give it the air of probability. It may indeed be exky gerated, but it the main tact of the defeat be true, we need care little for a difference of . ten, or twenty, or thirty thousand men, in the details. Omnium has advanced from 252 to 27. - TWO O'CLOCK. We have since seen the Moniteur of the 12th.— Our statement is correct. Even from the details in the French account, it would appear that BLU CHER had not beeti more s evereljj annihilated on this occasion than on former occasions, when be had the best of the battle. We have this moment received a private and most cheering letter from near Rheims. —lt describes the condition of , the French army ; Fatigued by rapid and forced marches ; exhausted and 'worn out by•everlasting action—and i❑ a most deplorable state, from the want of even the common necessaries of life. We can depend on thi's information ; it ,is neither fallacious nor overcoloured. FROM A PRIVATE LETTER. Bergen-Op-Zoom is on a rising ground or bill, the only one in the country, protected by a marsh on the South-east, and watered by the little river Zoom, which is divided into dykes and canals.— Ou ti,e West it is WttAseti uy . Lt- bfittleb or tine Scheldt. The assault was made by two brigades, simultaneously, 'on the North side, next Tholen, - and on the South-east. The brave Major-Gene ral the intrepid defender of Tariffa; commanded the attack. He had some time before broke his leg by 'a fall from his horse, from which he- was not recovered. The other brigncle was conducted by Major-General GORE. It consisted • of the Ist Guards,, Ist Royals, and 44th, with a detachment- of the 91st. It traversed •a frozen morass, cleared the empalments and clievaux-de frise, and scaled the ramparts ;—they actually got into the town undiscovered. The other brigade, consisting.of the 55th, 69th, and 33d, and some'of the 21st and 37th,. also assaulted by escalade, but was vigorously opposed. - The enemy raised up the ladders from the top of the ramparts with hooks, and dashed down the men on the frozen. ditches ; the gates however were forced open from the inside, and the greater part of the as sailants entered. • 'The garrison, though surprised, was not thrown into confusion it rallied, hued the houies on each side: the streets with musquetry, and enfi laded there with grape-shot and howitzer-shells. The Guards were drawn up,' and prepared to fire by platoons, xvhen they were ordered to throw out their priming and to charge. filmy advanced at the pas de charge, but they met nothing but showers of grape, cannister-shot, and bullets.— Almost. all the brigade was laid prostrate ; nor did the other brigade suffer less, though they'only gained the ramparts. The two leaders, Generals GORE and SKEREETT, - %Vete literally pierced with balls ;—the first fell dead on heaps of slain, but General SKERRETT survived. The corps now be gan to retreat ; but here the enemy, feeling .his strength and his vantage ground, shut the gates. Many threw themselves over the ramparts, but the greater number remained in the town, killed, wounded, and prisoners. To intercept the retreat, the, French opened the sluices, which flooded - the dykes over the ice. Three lines of works, and three courses of dykes, had the retreaters to pass, under showers of round and grape, and shells, before they could be safe ; yet, wonderful to tell, numbers of wounded men, with balls in their bodies, got over all ; number:: also Were drowned in the attempt. The enemy will boast of having taken two pair of colours, but there was no. ho !tour lost ; they were lost only when their gallant defenders ceased to breathe. Accounts froin Holland mel.zion, that the POPE, whose removals had been . frequent 'lady, was 'brought to tike on the 9th of February, and was to depart on the I 1 th for Genoa, where prepara tions were making for his reception. Affairs in Switzerland are at present in a very unsettled state. There is a great struggle be tween those who wish the unqualified 'restoration of theold 'government, and others who aim at in traduciug some popular improvements. ~ f POETRY.

When he awoke the next morning he found her apparently 'lifeless, he Ininietliately sent for Mr. HUMBY, Apothecary in St. A!ban's-street, and on his arrival she was quite dead :' the- latter was of opinion that she died by a fit of apoplexy—l/el.- 7 'clic --Died by thz Visitation of God.
