These troops afterwards passed in - parade' , - hefore their Majesties, and Foe-ceded several league s on their march in thc, direCtion of Mont- Thetaralry reached Ferrette the same night. The reinforCements whiclt have joined the Rus sian gliards, are very fine, and I have never seen these regiments appear in so great force, or in better condition, at any period of the campaign. Indeed some of the regiments have additional battalions. - I saw the reservesartillery on the march, part of which iisquite fresh, and it is impossible to have any preparation in more complete order as to ordnance, carriages, Nen, and horses. The men in.particular are r - emarltably fine.. There are some batteries of horse artillery with twelve pounders. The Prussian reserve is also in very excellent conditkin. The accounts I have received on, arriving bare, of the progress of the armies, are as follows The Field-Marshal's head-quarters were at Ve- soul, and are now, I understand, on the move to Langres, which place has for some time been,oc cupied by General Pialay. I 'me no . certain . • accotint of General 13flbna, but I hear he moved frbm Geneva on Dole, and that it was his inten tion to occupy Lyons.

The h;.ad-quarters of Marshal Prince Schwart zenberg were• on the 12th at Vesoul,, and were moving on. On the advance of General Giulay's corps to Langres the inhabitants fired on . the troops, but this is the only in s tance in.‘vhich the . allies have not been well received. The Field- Marshal's head-quarters were at Larin - res the' 15th or 16th. Gcnetal Bubna's corps bas bad a new directiGn given it from 11 . .)olp towards Lyons, and it .is on its march. General Bianchi, still operates against Befort, Besancon is investe4 by the corps of •Licliten- stela. The Bavarians under General Wreck have had a vei•.,• s erious- affair iyith the enemy, near St. Drcy, uncles• Marshal Victor. In the comn►ence .tnent of the Action they were 'repulsed, and the French cavaby, commanded by Genera/I Miami, bad some success, but on the• arrival of General De ti.oy•s Bavarian brigade, the enemy ivere'dom , pletcly repuls9d, and retired towards Ltuteville, ‘vith the losii of several officers, and some bun-. dyed , prisoners. Tile Cossacks continue very far in, advance. I ttai;.!(l, to your Lordshili i❑ my last ,dispatch, bo‘v anxiously we expected important events from Marshal Bl►►clicr.

Their warlike appear-. ance, their admirable egdyment, their military perfection; and when one com;ide.rs what they .have undergone, and.contemplates the Russians, who have traversed their own regions, and marched in a few short months front Aloscow across the: Rhine, one is lost in wonder and admiration. 4P.
