" SCHWARTZENBERG., LONDON, M ND:IY, 111,1 R Cfl tli 1814. - penning our reniarks fur ti,:: day, our at tention has been attracted to. the new and portant facts which follow, and which we trust will be received as au apology for reovdwelling upon other matters. By the Coniete French privateer, which 'has been dent into Pirnoutli , by the Andronurche, the gratifying intelligenco has been received that Sir ROWLAND HILL, with about 1500 men, ENTERED BOURDEAUX, at 10 o'clock, on the morning of the 12th inst. at which date the veritable Moniteur states, that there were ' many reinforcements marching through that City to join Marshal SouLt: This Marshal bad marched to , the cast- ward in - order to form a junction with ,S,4.IcH,ET, whither he would of course be followed by the main body of Lord WELLINGTON'S Army, who will, give a good account of both Marshals. 'Cis true that our Fero had a -n4rrqw.escape. He was slightly wounded on the hip ; by a, cannon ball, which took off the skin, 'and stunned him so that for a few moments the immortal \VELLINP- TON was insensible of the state, of that field which, previously, his soul hatl wholly animated and directed. Thank God, no unfavourable re- suit has attended this danger, at the bare mention of which every British pulse flutters, and every Briti6h heart sinks Lord MARCH is severely wounded ) but we have the pleasure to say that this gallant young Officer is not considered to be in' a dangeroUs state. The desertions of Souvr's Conscripts were immense—they threw away their arms, in all di- f ro m which th e y rections, and rau for their homes, bad been dragged. We have it from authority on which we can rely, that throughout tile whole Country traversed by the British, the name of BUONAPARTE is' held in titter detestatioai, The universal cry is " Liz Paix ! La Paix, pour l'umour de Dieu ! The numerous vessels in the Garonne were all preparing to attempt, their escape, but they were Too LATE. Our Squadron had reached the Mouth of the River, which it closely, imperyiously block- ailed: There were among these. gentry, iii this trait de rat, a great number of Americans.—More encouragement to Mr. !41ADIsow and his War Party. The following are the letters which hate excit ed our fears that Preliminaries of Peace may have been signed. Government have up to this lthur (one o'clock) received Ho intelligence of the kind apprehended " DOVER, MARCH 20, Six a' Clock, boat which has been boarded by the Charles sclwoner , is rowing very fast towards the harbour ; 'it. has every appearance of a Flag of Truce, but the fog is so great we cannot diStingnish it very clear. — The Mail will be gone before it can arrive." ‘‘ DovER, Ithackl 20, Six o' Clock .—A boat, supposed to,he a Flag Of Truce, can be just per ceived rowing for the Harbour.; 'she will reach the shore in about half an . hour." An imaginary basis of Peace is in circulation. We rejoice to say we know nothing of it, and that some of the pretended stipulations carry ab surdity on their faces. We fear that this will be a day of mingled pain and pleasure to us :—of triumph for the glories of our arms and of grief for the issue of these glories in Peace with BUONAPARTE. Wonderful and perplexing moment ! that the news of the vic torious advance of our Wg-t.LINGTON to /3vur dcaux, 'and'of the sigpature of preliminaries of Peace with the Corsican should arrive simul taneously in England, ,which had no hopes for the one, and no fears fur the other ! Such, however, we anticipate will be the intelligence that we shall have to communicate even before the ink is dry with, which' we write flies., sentences. On the eve of certainty, it would be folly to speculate, and , we gladly leave the subject to epitomise the multifarious informa 7 tion contained in French Papers . to, the 16th in clusive '(see the SUN of Saturday); in the Ga zette Extraorainarj, and, in the Dutch -au d Ger man'Journals. . The Gazette Extraordinary, in Dispatches from Lord WELLINGTON, dated St. Sever the Ist and 4th . of Abash, brings us acquainted with the splendid achievements. of 'our army up to the last date. In concert with the crossing of the Adour by our left below Bayonne on the 23d and 24th ult., Marshal BERESFORD in the, • centre, also drove the Enemy to Peyrehouracie, on the right of 'that River, taking possession of Hastingues and Oyergrave, en the lower Bi.= douse, where it flows into the Adour. Sub.= sequeritly the enemy were forced from the Gave d'Oleron -still further on the right, and re treated to Orthies, behind the Gave de On the 26th and 27th, our invincible divisions pushed forward. BERESFORD crossed below the junction of the Gave d'Oleron and Gave de Pau ; the 3d and 6th British, the Portuguese and light divisions (a portion of the force which had driven the foe from the Gave d'Oleron) below the posi tion at Orthies ; and Sir ROWLAND HILL above that plaCe, with the second division. , Here the battle of the 27th was fought. The strong po §ition of the French was forced, and a masterly movement made by Sir R. HILL on their left con's pletetl-the fortune of the day. The Enemy, fa- Voured 'by a chain .of strong posts in his rear, at first fell back, Unbroken -and in good order ; but the vigorous assaults of his pursuers speedily con verted his retreat into a total rout and confusedilight. At dusk our soldiers halted at Sault de Navailles, having driven the fugitives about twelve miles, taken six pieces of cannon, and many prisoners. On the following (lay (the 28th) the pursuit was continued about twelve miles - farther, to St. Sever ; where - Marshal BERESFORD crossed the Mout, and took Mont de Marsan, the principal town Of the Department of Landes, where lie found an important magazine of provisions. On the 2d the town of Aire, also on ate Adour, and 65 miles from Bourdeau7, was captured by Sir ROWLAND HILL ; and anotherlarge magazine fell into the hands of the Conoperor. The wet wea ther had prevented the more rapid advance of the main body, but we have no doubt they have since fulfilled'the . expectations of their country: We have no room- for further particulars, but the Gazette will satisfy the most inquisitive anxiety. An excellent ruse guerre of Baron ERbLES' has helped to clear three fortresses in Catalontu. The French Papers are only deserving of notice for their unblushing effrontery in falsehood. — Rheims has been retaken by BUONAPARTE. MAC DONALD iS now only manoeuvring, and we kcow what that means. We lament to see that the CROWN PRINCE, at Liege, has virtually declared against the Bova- Boss, by an Edict against wearing the White Cockade. Yesterday morning Earl BATH URST waited upon the PRINCE REGENT with the 'dispatches brought by Major FREENIANTLE. The LORD CHANCELLOR had a long audience of the PRINCE REGENT ycstet day. Mr, - ALEX. WILSON, a Russian Officer, arrived on Saturday with dispatches from Berlin. , The ' Royal Sovereign and Royal ? 'Charlotte yabhts are to. be completely ready by the 9th of next month to proceed to Holland, in order to convey,the Queen of WIETEMBERG to this coun try. Her' MAJESTY expected to•arrive early in. nay. • The French General of Division' FORESTIER, who .was taken prisoner at the battle of Britunt, died of his wounds on she 20th ult. The frost was So-excessively severe in the Baltic this winter, that the Sound, between Copenhagen and Sweden, was frozen over, and the communi cations over the ice, by means of sledges.;; open and uninterrupted. We do not remember an occasion that haS Call ed forth the exertions of the benevolent more ge nerally, than that which has arisen' front the va rious accounts of our suffering brethren,in Ger many. The Dukes of Vora:, KENT, and.SUSSEXi the Arclibishop of CANTETIBURY and YORK, the Bishops of LONDON and DURHAM, lave signed their names- to a public advertisement, to con vene a Meeting of the Nobility,'Cle4gy, and Gen try, at Freemason's Hall, on Saturday, next, to augment the contributions which have already been made by various classes in :0 many parts of the country: Never was British benevolence ex erted upon a more worthy cause. We hope there is not a town in the united kingdom that will not; for the honour of Great Britain, contribute, to, the utmost extent of its means, to alleviate the distress of those who have so cruelly suffered, and are now sufferin, for the emancipation of the civilised world.
