The rain continued till last night, and the river is so rapid that the pontoons cannot be laid'Upon it. The enemy had colleated a co.' at Aire, probably to protect the evacuation of a magazine which they bad at that place. Sir Raw _ land 'HilLattaCked this corps on the 2d, and drove them from their post. with considerable loss, and took possession of the town and magazine. lam sorry to hare to report that, we lost the Hon . - ' Lieut. COlonel Hood on thiS occasion, anofficer of great Merit and promise. In other respects our loss was not severe. I inclose'Sir Rowland Hill's 'report, which affords another instance of the con duct and gallantry of the troops under his com mand. I have, &c. (Signed) . WELLINGTON. The Earl Bathurst. Ayre, March 3. 141Y^LoRck—In pursuance of your Lordship's in structions, I yesterday advanced with the troops under my command upon the road leading to,this 'place on the left bank of the Adour. Upon the arrival of the advanced guard within two miles of this town, the enemy was discovered occupying a strong ridge of hills, having his right flank upon the Adour, and thus covering the road to thin place. • Notwithstanding the strength of his position, I ord.Ted the attack, which was executed by the 2d division under Lieut.-General the Hon. Sir W. Stewart (which .advances on•the, road leading to this place, and thus gained possession of the ene my's-extreme right), and by one brigade.of the Portuguese diyisob under Brigadier-General La Costa, which ascended the heights occupied by the enemy at ahout the centre of his position. The Portugtiest brigade succeeded in gaining possession of the ridge, but were thrown into such confusion, by the, resistance made by the enemy, as would have been of the most serous consequence, had it not . been for the timely sup port givqn by the 2d division under Lieutenant- General Sir Woh_Stewart, who having previously beaten back the enemy directly oppnsed to him, and seeing them returning- to charge the Portu guese brigade, ordered forward the Ist brigade of the 2d division, Which,, led . by Major-general Banes, charged the enemy in the most gallant stye, awl beat thein back, throwing their column into the greatest conflision. Inc enemy made various attempts' to regain the ground, but Lieutenant-General the Hon. Sir W. Stewart, having now 'been' joined by Major-Ge neral-Byng's brigade, was enabled, to drive them trona' all their positions, and finally from this town. By all accounts of prisoners, and from my own iThservatinns, at least two divisionS of the enemy were engiged. Their loss in killed and wounded .has been very great, and we have above 100 pri soners. The _evenly's line of retreat .seems to • have'bt:en by•the ribut batik of the Ai'imr, With exception, of some part of their force, %vhich being cut oa from the river by our rapid advance to this town, retired in the greatest confusion in the di rection of Pau. These troops have left their arms 'in every direction. _ I cannot omit this opportunity of expressing to your Lordship the gallant and unremitting 'exer tions of Lieut.-General the Hon. Sir W . . 'Stewart, and ;he General and other officers of the 2d divi sion ; of Major-General Fane's brigade of cavalry, and Captain Bean's troop of horse artillery, throughout the whole of'tbe late operations ; and I . must, in justice, mention tile gallant charge made yesterday by Major-General 'Barnes, at the head of the 50th regiment, commanded by ',feta.- Colonelllarrison ; and the 92d, .commamtled by Lieut.-Colonel Cameron, in which he was ably seconded by his Staff, Bridage Major Weinyss. and Captain Hamilton. Major-General Byug's brigade supported the movement of Major-General Barnes, and decided ,the advantage of the clay. Captain Macdonald, at the horse artillery, distinguished himself much in - attempting to rally the Portuguese troops. I ,trust our loss, considering the advantageous position occupied by the enemy, has nut been se - vere'; but 1 have to regret the loss of a valuable • officer in -the death of Lieut.-Colonel Hood,- As- • sistant-Adjutant-General to the 2d division, who was unfortunately killed during the contest of yesterday.--l. have, &c.

General Woronzow, with 7 or 8006 men, guarded this position, which w.as very, difficult to be got- at, because the road which leads to it runs for a icagne between two . impracticable marshes. " Baron Gourgault; an officer of distinguished merit; set off at' eleven at night, from Chavignon, with two battaliOns of the Old Guard, turned the position, and proceeded byChallevois upon Chivi. He reached the enemy, whom he attacked with the bayonet at one in the morning. 'The Russians were aWakened.with the cries of Vive l'Empereur, and yursped to Laon, The Prince of Moskwa debauched by the " 'On the 9th, at day-break, we reconnoitred the•enemy,:who had joined the Prussian corps.— The position was such as to be deemed unattack able. We took a position. The Duke of Ragusa,' who had slept on the Bth at Corbone, appeared •a:t two in the afternoon at Veslud, 'orverthrew the enemy's ad.vaneed guard, attacked the village of Althies i which be carri e d, and was surxessful (hir ing the Whole day; At half-past six be took up position. At seven the enemy made a dusk of ca v'alry,,one lea'ue in the rear, where the Duke of Reggio bad a pzirk of reserve. The Duke of Ra gtisa proceeded thither quickly, but the, enemy had time to carry off 15 pieces of cannon.' A great part of tire personnel was saved.' On the same day General Charpentier, with his 'division of the Young Guard, carried the vil lage of Clacy. On tilt ;next day' the enemy at tacked this 'village seven times, and were seven times repulsed. General Charpentier,- lost 400 prisoners. The enemy left the avenues covered with his dead. The Emperor's head-quarters were, on the 9th and . 10th, at Chavigtion. " His Majesty, judging that it was impossible to attack the heights of Laun, fixed his head quarters on the 11,th at Soissons hat;is in retreat). The . Duke of Ragusa occupied on th e same d ay berg au Bac. ".General Corbineau praises the good disposi tions of -the inhabitants of Rheims: " On the ith, at eleven in the morning, ,Gen. St.-Priest, commanding a Russian division, ap peared before Rheims, and summoned it to sur render. Gen. Corbineau replied with ,cannon. Gen. Defiance then ,arrived with his division of Guards of Honour ;, he made a fine charge, ,and drove off the enemy. Gen, St. Priest set fire to two great manufactories and "icififty houses, which were on the outside of the town, ; a con duct worthy of a turncoat., In all times turn coats have been the most cruel enemies of ,their country. " SoissonS .haS • suffered much.' The inhabF tantsimi4 conducted theMselves in theinost ho nourable manner. There are no praises too great for' the regiment of the Vistula, whi c h f or m e d th e. garrison there are no praises which the i regiment of the Vistuk deems too great for the inhabitants. His Majesty haz grante,Vt.bis Grave corps 30 deco rations of the Legion of Honour. The plan of the enemy's campaign appears to have been a kind of general hurra, dash upon Paris. Neglecting all the,strong places of Flanders, and only observing Bergen-op-Zoom and Antwerp, with troops inferior by half in number to the gar rison of these towns, 'the enemy penetrated upon Avesnes. Neglecting the places of the Ardennes, Meziere, Rocroi, Philippeviile, Givet, Charle mont, .Montruedy, Maestrecht, Vanlon . ; and .14- liers, they passed by impracticable roads to arrive upon AVeSnes and Rethel. - These places comnm nicate, are notobserved, and the garrisons alarm the rear of the enemy considerably., Whilst Ge neral St. Priest burned Rheims, his brother was arrested by the inhabitants, and• sent olf prisoner to Charlemont. Neglecting all the places of the Meuse, the enemy advanced by Bar and St. Di 'tier. The garrison of Verdun is come quite to St. Miliiel. Neat'. Bar a Russian. General, who remained some moments with 15 men, after the departure of his troops, was killed with bis escort by the peasants, in revenge for the atrocities he bad ordered. Metz pushes its sorties to Nancy; Stras burg, and . the other places Of Alsace being observed hwt by small parties, there is free ingress and egress, and provisions arrive in abundance. The troops of the garrison of Mentz go as far as Spires,— The departments having hastened to complete the corps, of battalions which are in all these places, where they are armed, equipped, and, exercised, we may say that there are several armies in the rear of the enemy. His position cannot but be come more dangerous daily. We see .by the re . ports that ,have been. intercepted, that the regi ; merits of Cossacks, xv:hose force was 250 men, have lost upwards of 120 men, without having been in action, _but only by the hostilities 9( the peasants. " The Duke of Castiglione nsuinceuvres on the Rhone, in the dcpartMedt •of the Aisne, and in Franche Compte. Generals Desaix, and Mar chand have driven the enemy from savoy. Fifteen thuusand_men are passing the Alps, to reinforce the Duke of Castiglione. " TheVicerOy has,obtained great successes at Borghetto, and has driven the enemy upon the Ad ge. General Grenier, who set out from Pla centia on 2d Mar i ch, bet the enemy at Parma, and chased. him beyond the Taro. The French troops' that occupied. Rome, Civita Vecchia, and Tuscany, are entering Piedmont to pass the Alps: "the exasperation of the population increases daily, in propOrtion to the atrocities Which are committed by those hordes, more barbarous still than their -climate ! who dishonour the human race, and whose military existence has for its object liillage and crime, instead of honour and renown. " The conferences of Lusignyfor an armistice have ' We could not agree upon the tine of demarcation. We were agreed upon the points of occupation'to the North Und - East, but the enemy .wished not only to extend his line upon the Saone and the Rhone, but to inclose Savoy in it. We replied to this unjust pretension, by proposing to adopt on this line•the status quo, and to leave the Duke of Castiglione anti Count liiibaa.to .Settle it upon the Hue* their advanced posts. This was rejected. It was then necessary to renounce the idea of an armistice for a fortnight, which was.at tended With more inconvenienzes than ldr:nta,gcs. The Emperor, besides, did not think In had a right to place a numerous population 1c.2!: the iron yoke from which they had been deliVered. lie would not consent to abandon our corn munica- tions with Italy, which the enemy had so often and so vainly attempted to iniercept, when our troops were not yet milted. " ,The weather has been constantly very cold ; the bivouacks are very distressing,Auring this sea son, but each party has been exposed to the satlT sufferings. It appears even that sickness makes great havoc in the,cnerny's army, :whilst , Ours'has but few sick" PARIS; IV/molt. 16.--Her Majesty the Empress Qtfeen. anti Regent . ' has, received the following intelligence of, the situation a the armies 10 e 14th: " General St. Priest, Commanding' in Chief the eight Russian corps, had. been for several days . in position at Chalons-sur-Marne, having-an ad v,anced guard at Sillerv. This corps, cOmpo , ted of three divisions, xvhich ought to have formed 18 regiments and 36 battalions, had actually only •eight regiments, or 16 battalions, rnalting about 5 or 6000 men. . , " General Sagow, comManding ,the last co lumn of the Pro - Sian Reserve, and having under his orders four regiments of the Landwehr of Prussian Pomerania, and the Marks, forming 16 battalions, or 7000 men, who had been employed in the sieges of Torgau and Wittenberg, joined the corps of General. St. Priest,whose force must therefore have been about 15 or 16,000 men, ca valry,and artillery included. " Gen. St. Priest resolved to surprise Rheims, in which was stationed General Corbineau, at the head of the National Guard, and three battalions of the levy.in mass, with WO cavalry, and eight pieces of cannon. General*Corbineau had placed General Defrance's division of cavalry at Chalons sur-Vesle, two leagues from the town. " On the 120, at five in the morning, Gene ral St. Priest presented himself: at . the different gates. He made his principal attack on the gate of Laon, which the superiority of his numbers enabled him to force. General Corbineau ope rated his retreat with three battalions of the levy en-mass, and his 70@ cavalry, and fell back - upou ChalonS-sur-Vesle. - The National Guard and the inhabitants behaved. very well in these , circum stances. On the 13th, at four o'clock in the evening, the Emperor was on the heights ' - 6f the Wind mill, a., league 'from Rheims. The Duke 'of Ra gusa formed the advanced guard. The General of Diviion Merlin, attacked, surrounded, mid took several battalions,of ussian Land wehr. Ge neral Sebastiani, ,conimaticlipg two divisions of cavalry, advanced upon the towns: One lion Bred pieces'of cannon were engaged on the one side and the other. The enemy crowned the - heights in front of Rheiins. " While t , he attack was malciug; the bridges of St. Brice were repaired, in order to turn the toryn. • 'General Defrance Made a superb charg.t with the • guards of honour, who covered theruselves with grOev, particularly General Cunt crian . ding the 3d regiment, Who charged lietwQea the town and the enemy, whOM they drove intot'he suburbs,. and from whom they took 1000 cavalry and ;his artillery. Meanwhile General Count Krasiusici having intercepted the coannunication from Rheims to Bery-an-Bac, the enemy abandoning the town, flying in disorder on all sideS. The results of this day, which did not cost. us 100 men, are 22 pieces of cannon, 5000 priStMers, lOU. artillery and big gage waggons. • The same battery of light artil-• lery which killed General Moreau before Dresden, mortally wounded. General St. Priest, who had conic at the head of the Tartars of the Desert to ravage our beautiful country. " The Emperor entered Rheims atone in the morning, amidst the acclamations of the inhabi tants of that great, city, and has established his head-quarters there. The enemy is retreatiu, partly to Chalons, partly on Retie], and partly. on Laon. , He is pursued in all directions. The 10th regiment of Hussars; as -well as the 3d regi , ment of the Guards of Honour, particularly dis tinguished • itself. General Count Seger has been severely.wounded, hit his life is not in danger." i3ott RDEMJX; MARCH 12.—We have seen within these few days many troops pass by our city to join the Army of - the Duke of Dalmatia.
