The military statements 44 1 contain appear to be so studiously detached n neonnected, that it is nut without, infinite k i i ibl e We can arrive at the general view they are to giveof the situation of the invaded. of France. And a melancholy picture Peo p l l 'tl) . to the People of that country ; — to a ilet v b e , /111 0 he larly participated in tine tero 'asted ho so pes of 'th g e e ir Leader, and so sin toa 3' t hirsted with him for universal dominion e a la ° 1) 1 e who have so long been accustomed to a nd r " e vastation and wretchedness into other lands, t° rejoic e i n th e s p o ils of all nations, and theAill. t o 4ge 13 f every State—to such a people, and t heir a sanguinary Chieftain, we say, must be co lre adful ,leswan when the even hand - ot justice an nlille ilds the poisoned chalice to their own lips, t av d th eY are visited at once with tlic miseries they s ti e3° lung inflicted, and the horror of retribu o4 stilt more severe, in retaliation for their 4tr oel • - - otts crimes. )1 4t t he beginning of all former campaigns by e tcA I'ARTE, the re were wont to be put forth an ti-14, embracing a general outline of the posi atrlls of his various armies, and stating their tOU 9t in round numbers, their division into 8 :e• and the names and head-quarters of t(.s - "'eat M ars h a l s w ho corm - handed them. Ne a ad t he Tyrant so serious an occasion to make play of his force, and never did he seem to be p e .l4iser 'blY provided, even with armies on pa t:,: 4 : h e is at ibis critical Moment. The. SyS v I Corps seems to have been cut up by the er3r r°°t—the list of iNlarshals and distinguished c cinthla nilers is most m arve llously ieduced. Of the forme r t h ere is not one ment i on ed , an d o f t he -lat ter, there ar e . scarcely enow to make a silew. MaimoNT, and VICTOR form the ledoubted triumvirate. , Of these, NEY has his i '''ad-qttarters at Nancy, in the centre of the j 'l. vkuthedi , and near l y one - t hi r d o f .t h e way in a s ect line fro - in Strasburgh to Paris. We hear Il ot t • . ung of th e fo rce under h i s orders, b ut from . . taking up his abode in a city like Nancy, we la ke it for granted he -has- with hi s an no body of th en strong enough to keep the field. There rs a General DoVIGNA. :under hits, who is . , Epinal, higher Up the Valley of the Mo 'elb: and in the departMent of the Vosges, the southern boundary of that of the Meurthe. • This I ? ° rtiou of the enemy may be reckoned the right of he force assembled on the tivet•fotelie, Find op- posed to Gen. BLUCHER in front, With WREDE, froth Colinat i thatching northward to turn its flank: Below Duvigna, as we have already noticed, is NE,v, atNancy, the intermediate space being occupied 4 and the communication maintained by General DUHESME, whose bead qnarters are at St. Dicz 4 and rather in advance of the others. VICTOR'S force is concentrated in the same direction. Rambevellers, where an ac- Lion of cavalry is said to have been fought, is in the - rear of: the position of DUHESME, and be tween Epinal and Luneville. Thus it will be seen that the forces (to whatever they may amount) under NEY, VICTOR, DUHESME, and DUVIGNA, are assembled in the Departments of the Meurthe and Vosges, and stationed along the banks of the River Atoselle. With these the DiviKon of MAR- MONT is connected. He has taken up a position op the Sarre, .a river which flows into the Moselle, not far from Trees, and from 40 to 70 miles from Nancy, so that this may be considered as the left wing of the Enemy's force in this direction. From this statement it appears, that the Allies occupying the entire of the two Departments 'of the High and Low Rhine, which possess the left bank of 'that river from Basle, and still further down the Duchy of Deuxponts, (an old bone of contention), Mount Thunder, Spiers, Mentz, the Mouths of the Moselle, ,1 2 ,:c. to Co- Wentz. That from these they have invaded and penetrated westward more, than half way through the adjoinitig . interior Departments of the Vosges, Meurthe, and Moselle. This limits the operations, as onposed to the force under BLUCHER. From the Grand Allied Army the movements have been still more decided and extensive in every direction. Taking Basle as• the point whence they departed to the west and north-west, we find that the department of the High Saone has been overrun, and the departments of the Cote &Or and High Marne, ,Auxonnc in the former, and only 27 miles from Dijon, being placed in a. state of siege ;•and Langres, in the latter, having even been entered by the Cossacks ; while M. SEGUR, from its capital, Chaumont, is promul gating empty promises for the service of his master, assuring the people (truly we believe) that these • sacrifices arc the last which HE would canon them to make, and (falselywe believe) that an arruy..under. BUONAPARTR would, in a few days, be in their dep'artment. Towards the South west and South (still keeping to Basle as the point. of departure) the course of the Allies has been equally prospemus. Almost. the whole of the Department of the Doubs is in their hands, and Besancon, on its western frontier and its chief place, besieged. Here the Enemy has collected a - column under a General MAaceLAz. The more Southern Department of the Jura is altoge ther conquered The Capital, Lons-le . -Saunier, l taken possession of, and the Parisians Com, forted with the assurance that Bourg, in the next Department (the Ain) and the only . place of note between Lons-le-Saunier and LyoriS;' has not yet been visited - by:the Allies. Thither they will, we have no doubt soon arrive, and in 'the mean time, we have every hope that Lyon 3 will be reached with greater facility from-the side of Leman and Mont Blanc, alias Geneva and Savoy. Such is the picture of the whole eastern side of France, to the breadth of from 60 to 120 miles i❑ the perfect occupation of the invaders, which these gratifying Extracts furnish. With the assistance of the most indifferent map, our readers will be enabled, from our minuteness, to draw a line of above 300 miles from North to South, from Chamberry by Bourg, Lons-le-Sau nier, Dole, Besancon, Lan4res, Epinal, Nancy, Metz and Treves, to Coblentz, and they will see at once to what extent the victorious Allies have carried their prosperous arms. At Lons-le-Saunier there are most important Salt-works, and to secure this indispensable arti cle for the Army, the Austrian arms have been affixed to them. Against this horrid breach of their promise not to conquer France, BUONAPARTE and 'the Morning Chronicle have raised a terrible outcry, for which they both deserve to be well pickled: On the side of Bourdeaux, there is a story dated the Ist, of some loss sustained by Lord WELLING TON in an attempt to cross the Adour. The Chronicle is also alarmed about this, and thinks his Lordship in a dangerous way. The last dates from Bourdeaux, however, (nine days after) assure us, that nothing good or evil had occurred. BUONAPARTE has got a few hundred Invalids from the Hospital, to augment his army. The Dtike of YORK paid a long visit to le PRINCE REGENT yesterday. The Earl of LlNTEnroot. waited upon the PRINCE REGENT again yesterday. MttASI - ttiotV ti - Ait ASTP.OPtit: LOSS OF HE QUEEN TRANSPbRT, ANTS THREE HUN- DhlEli WOMEN, ANIi th-lILDREN. FALMOUTH, J. burricane.froni the S. E. 'This day has presented to us one of the most melancholy scenes that ever was- witnested . in this harbour. The Queen transport, CARit, master, No. 322, 354 tons ; having on board, from Lisbon, about 360 men; *Omen, and children, (the men principally invalided Artillerymen), parted from her cables, and drove on shOre an Trefusis Point, about five o'clock this morning; and went to pieces in about three-quarters of an hour. Only 60 people are saved, including the master and chief officers. The (!cad bodies of men, women, and children are floating in every direction. The following vessels met with accidents. Fortune, LEAnumt, lost her bowsprit; Ann, Rein, ditto, and sprung her fore -mast; Hibernia, PALM ER, on shore, and full of water; Lady Warrhn, ALLEN, Cut both her cables and on shore in, the mud ; Ann, PARTIN, lost her boW sprith and Jane Barnes, BLACK LEE, from Gibraltar, is on shore with damage.—ArriVed yesterday a schooner with gun powder, from Cork, one of the Marlborough's convoy, whom she left, with the fleet from that place, off the Lizard last evening i ,boating to the eastward. The above letter was received at a late hour ast night. NAVAL NEWS. DEAL, JAN. 19.—Sailed his Majesty's ship Dictator, with a detachment of the 3d Guards, for Holland, and the Flying Fish cutter with dis patches for Admiral YOUNG. Arrived the Viper cutter with dispatches from the fleet in the Scheldt. Wind E. YARMOUTH, JAN. 19.—(Received the Nor wich and Ipswich irktil.)—Arrived the Portia from a cruise. Sailed the Britomart for Sheerness.--It blows a rough gale from the E. N. E. and coin mimication with the ships in the Roads is sus pended. By a letter received from Falmouth, it is stated, that out of the crew of the Queen transport 110 were saved. The Fowey, DAWSON from Yarmouth to Ire land, was on shore yesterday in St. Margaret's Bay, near Dover; cargo landing. The following was this morning forwarded to us from the Post-Office : This morning there will hardly _be any de livery of the General Post ; the only Mails from any part of the United Kingdom that have reach ed the Post Office,aare the. Harwich and Ipswich, Dover and Brighton. The following Mail Coaches are all out at this hour (1 I o'clock Thursday morn ing,nor are any of them expected, as several 'of the Mails which left London last night, have re-' turned this morning not being able to proceed. " Mails not arrived at Post Qffice.—Ryde, Bath, Birmingham, Exeter, Cambridge, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Portsmouth, Pool, 'Taunton, Norwich, and Newmarket ; Glasgow, Edinburoi, Bristol, Worcester, Shrewsbury, and Gloucester. The above Mail Coaches bring nearly all the in termediate Mails in the kingdom." Accounts were received last night froth the Py rennean frontiers of Spain to the sth inst. Lord \VE[LINGTON, it is said, commanded the naviga tion of the Adour, and had taken a convoy of 11.6ti!and brandy, which had been sent down that river for the supply of Bayonne. Spanish troops continued to pass through Irun, on their march to join his Lordship's army ; and the Juramentados in the French service had been disarmed. The heavy gale of wind previous to the 13th of December, had materially inconvenienced our army in France, by preventing the arrival of the usual supplies by sea. There was in-particular a g reat scarcity of forage for the, horses, although the greater part of the cavalry,. and also of the ar tillery and the waggon train, had been left behind in Spain for the convenience of subsistence. The German regiments that came over from SOULT had, it is reported, been furnished with new clothing and accoutrements, by Lord WELLING TON'S orders', and also a gratuity.of a dollar to each man 'Was distributed to them from the British . military chest. The Princes of the House of BOURBON are sni to have received numerous communications from the various depicts of the French priwners through out the country, stating themselves to have served under the old Regime, and expressing their anxie ty for the restoration of their legitimate Princes. The number of French prisoners now .in this 'country, whoserved under the Monarchy, is greater than at any former period. • We yesterday copied from a Morning Paper, a statement of a Lady lately arrived from.Frauce, having brought presents from the Empress MARIA Loma to a Lady of rank in this country. We are now enabled to contradict, '`from authority„ the statement alluded to,-and in the most positive terms to assure the Public, that no such transac tion has ever taken place.—M.

'Dispatches have been rece:ved from Lora WELLIN3TOI4,, dated St. Jean de Luz, Jan. 9 : from which; it appears that no mi!itary move-, ments of importance had taken place ;—but on the 3d inst. the enemy having collected a force on the Gave, drove in the British pipets, turned the right of Major-General BUCtIAN'S Portugese bri- gade, and established two divisions of infantry on the height of La Bastede.

THE WEATHER. It has been affirmed; that there is a similarity between the seasons recurring at the distance Of about nineteen years, of the period of the retro cession of the lunar 'nodes ; .nowit will be curious to notice, whether this meteorological observation is confirmed by.a long continuance of the present frost j,.for, according to the above hypothesis, this winter will correspond with that most remarliable and Severe one of 1794 . -5, when, on the 15th'of December,• the frost set.in with nnusual rigour, so firmly, that;• in a few days after the French army, with their heavy artillery, passed over the Maese and the Waal, and subjugated Holland. It will be a singular coincidence, should this re turn of a similar season be signalised with the emancipation of the Seven United Provinces, and the total expulsion of the French Impe rialists. Suirday se'nnight the thermometer stood at degrees, that is, 25 ,degrees below the freezing poit.t. It has not been so low these 19 rears, when it was one night at 5 degrees.—(Chester Courant.) On Saturday night, at half past 11, FANREN HEIT'S Thermometer, suspended in a garden, in this town, stood at 64, and during the nig:it at 5. —On the •17th of Dec. 1798,• the Thermometer was as low-As-4 degrees at 11 o'clock at Night.---- (Leeds Intelligencer.) The frost continues in this city and neighbour hood With unusual severitv. Our Floating H3r hour now exhibits quite a• , novel -scene : from Cumberland Basin to the Feeder, at the liottom of Avon-street, it is one continued sheet of ice ; and for the first time in the 'memory of man, the skaiter Made his appearance under Bristol Bridge. The river Severn also i,s frozen over at various points, so as. to bear the weight of persons wal ing over it.—(Brictol Journal.) Last iVeCIE a 'labouring Man, passing through Hinderwell 'fields, near his,way to work, discovered a person lying at a little distance,from the road, - nearly in a state of. imsensibility, with .126. hair frozen to.,the ground ; assistance beUig procured, he was 'conveyed to a hoitse in the aeighbouting village `of Ellerby, where, notivith :standiug every means used for his recovery, be •expired in about au hiinr aftcrwacds„ The unfor tunate man proved to be 411 r, JEsepli Menne], of Whitby, who, it appears, ltukfallen an unhappy victim to intemperance aryl the inclemency of the weatber, having, left Staiths about ten o'clock the preceding evening, in a state of intol4eution, and, it is supposed, had afterwards lust Iris way.
