GERMAN SUFFERERS. The present is a good time to recommend the distressed Germans to the liberality of the British nation. The efforts of German warriors, united with those of Russia, have gone far towards pit -nishing the author of all the miseries of Europe ; and, it is hoped, are at the point of rescuing the 066 for ever from his tyranny. Now, if the sums which have been expended by Prussia and Austria, not. to speak of lesser States, in equipping their armies for the plains of Champagne, had been applied to the relief of their suffering subjects at home, these would have no occasion to look to strangers for aid. The British poor, it is true, are in no great affluence ; but they know nothing of the miseries of the inhabitants of Dresden or Leipsic, whose houses, furniture, and means of subsistence, have been wholly destroyed. Who- ever has seen the effects produced by a fire raging in some of the meaner streets in London, when the wretched inhabitants are burnt out of their homes, and seek refuge under the naked roof of some church, may form an idea of the extreme mi scry of thousands upon thousands of those desti tute beings for whose relief British humanity is so licited, The following additional sums were voted on the 1-oth of February, by the Committee for the 6uffevers in Germany: :Carnes of Comparative ECuuntries. distress and want. Principal Towns and Places that hare suffered. :,iile,i.i.. £2OOO Liegnitz, Jauer, Buntzlau, New Saltz, and vicinity.

The Committee for the Sufferers in Germany feel it a duty they owe to the munificent Sub scribers to the _Fund for their relief, to make public the treasures which they have adopted for securing the application of the sums remitted to the various puts of the Continent, agreeably to the iutentiohs of those whose 'liberality has af forded the means.

PARI6, FEB. 7.—Letters cif the 6th, in the morn ing, Were to-day.received. No event of iarport mice, had passed in the army the Emperor con tinued to enjoy the hQ:st health. The 2d division from the army in Spain arrived to-day,in Paris, and will to-morrow begin its march for the army of his Majesty. Versailles and the environs of Paris continue to fill with troops of all arms. We have already described the vast system of defence of the enclosure of Paris, on an extent of more than 13,000 toises. In the interior every hand was employed in the fabrication of arms. It seems as if wood, iron, and steel had no 'other Use; and the resources of industry and the se crets of science no other application. The Place des Vosges is, as it was twenty years ago, convert ed into a manufactory for the construction of artillery. Forges have been established under the halls of the public markets. Other vast edifices, which have for a time changed their destination, are provided with every thing prOper to forte litary hospitals. A call has made on all Gleam* to furnish linen for bandages. Neither the means of defence nor of succour will be wanting in case of an attack. PARIS, FEB. B.—The second division of the ar my of Spain, of which we announced the march yesterday, arrived the day before yesterday at Versailles ; finer troops, and better disposed, are no where to be found ; they are eager to meet the enemy. The army of his Majesty the Emperor receives every day new reinforcements. All the individuals who compose this army are animated by the best spirit. They fight for their country in the presence of their Sovereign. What more noble motive can there be to inflame their courage ! When they hear the signal for battle, they recol lect - that their families, their friends, and all France have their eyes upon them. The works undertaken for the defence of Paris are at length' completed. The intelligence and activity employed in their execution, do much ho nour to the persons charged with them. The ar tillery is ready, as well as the harnesses, and every thing is ready to place it in battery. The brave pupils of the Polytechuique school have offered to serve, and they are already sufficiently exercised. They are establishing, at the extremities of the bridge of Charanton, (a village a league front Paris,) palisades, similar to those which were con structed at the barriers of the capital.

DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS. 13HEDA, JAN. 31.—1 n consequence of the strength of the garrison of Antwerp and the in clemency of the season, .it has nut been deemed expedient to retain possession of the village of Mercxem, or of, the battery which the enemy had erected on Brescaat Heath.

MANHEIM, JAN. 18.—Metz was taken by the army of Silesia, it having been evacuated by Mar shal Victor the day before. All accounts state that the Allies conduct themselves with great hu manity to the people of France, by whom they are everywhere favourably received. Naardcu is day after day more enclosed. The village of Nu cichem, which lies near this fortress, is taken pe session of, and front thence the works ha v(! i , cen commenced. AMERICAN PAPERS.

THE NEWS OF YESTERDAY. SECOND EDITION.--.Sun-OfSce, Three o'clock. The following Important Communication bas just reached us from unque s tio na bl e aut h or i t y :--- The Moniteur of the Bth 4-arrived in town, and not the least mention is made either of the Ar mies or oithe Preliminaries. Private letters of the same date have been received. The Allies have surrounded ,i ) : , ;•is„ and SUONAPARTE permits the English Conricr, L,2 iass, and SILVESTER is iust arrived from Calais, having travelled through France. It is BIION,I*ARTE'S in-. tention to leave Paris to its fate, ip case of the Negociation breaking off, to join Sour -T, and ivake a dash at Lord WELLINc,ms. THIRD EDITION.—Sun-Officg, Pour o'Clock, As SILVESTER, the Messenger, will not ar rive in Town before Eight or Nine o'clock, it will .riot be in our power to communicate any further pArticulars of the important news in our Second Edition. This, upon enquiry, we find may be re lied upon. A cordon of the Allied troops has been drawri The Cossacks bad al ready been within 18 ashes of that city. The IWo niteur of the 8 . 111 (tearing, no doubt, to offend those wholp they expected so soon to have its Authors in i.4ir power) is entirely silent on the events of the kAr,tr—the last intelligence from the scene of action being published on the atb, and bringing down events no later than the 3d.— Thus six days have elapsed, and no News from the Despot, fighting only from 70 to 90 miles' off! Could we desire better News ? Yes ! and it fol.- lows—lt is confidently said, that so far from neg,o ciations being in pro g re s s w ith th e Usurper, all diplomatic intercourse has been entirely broken off. We cannot answer for ,this report, but „it is of too great magnitude, and too desirable, to permit eur withholding it from the Public. For the pre sent, however, it must rest on unofficial rumour. The report of BUONAPARTEIS being about t o form a itinction with SouLT, - we trust our Readers understood us to be nothing more than the spe culation of a Private Letter. There is something curious in the names of places in the Low Countries where the enemy 11$15 of late been figuring away. In his flight he took the direction of Liar (Lief . ) and behind him he lett Al Lost (Mali). SECOND ORIGINAL LETTSit FROM THE PRINCE REGENT OF PORTUGAL..
