" AGNISS-DOUCET:" ADDRESS OF THE FRENCH Pr':OPLE TO THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON. S.trtE,—The different authorities which have harangued you in the ,name of the nmnerous people whose felicity your beneficent genius se cures, have not fulfilled to our satisfaction the great duty which was imposed upon thent. 'Their eloquence has been feeble , they have plunged in td the common places of a vulgar adulation. They have compared you to gecat men, whereas there is nothing of humanity in you : to Cesar, while your prudence, worthy companion of your heroic temerity, has constrained Thu to play the part of Pharnaces. What, compared to you, Sire ! are those .great men so boasted in history ? Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, Gustavus Adolph us ; Ch ar l es XII . , Pour the Great, - Frederick, your pretended models, had some brilliant virtues which distinguished them from the ordinary race of Sovereigns and (ienerals but they wcre,enthusiasts who, by a tiise point of honour, would have sacrificed them selves at the head of their arini.es, in endeavouring to have saved theM. Inimitable Napoleon Iva) alone capable of making is a(1141?e a specie, of heroism wholly opposite. Stich was the - text of the eulogies which should , have been chosen by those. Orators who were charged to lay at the foot of your Majesty's ho movable throne, in the nam e o f all Europe, and of posterity, the tribute of admiration from our age and all future ages. Fur these they have substituted trivial adulationi, which plate you in the class of ordinary heroes, to whom you Cannot be compared without injustice. .These Orators, instead of displaying their compliments with 'the amplification of enthusiasm, ex - pi - es - Jed, by the grimace of their countenances, feelings of terror, confusion, perplexity, which have displeased your Imperial Majesty, as we remark by the severity of your looks; and the dryness of your replies. in a moment of general exultation, those ora tors hazarded the gloomy idea of the possibility of your death. That intimation, Sire, has alarm ed us. In truth, as one of those orators has ex cellentiv expressed it, in excusing the awkward ness-of jiis colleagues, - " the King never In truth, royalty always exists, so long as there exists a branch - of the legitimate race. Jturge, then, yourself, how firm your throne ought to be ; ai'd how exempt yourself from all distinietude upon this 4Ubjedt, without the useless repetition of that public axiom, on the part of the orators and the authoritieS; whose aneVent versatility renders them too much suspected to be the true urgallS of your faithful subjects. We excuse this mai-address, inasmuch as it twill prOcure us an ifogost Cle, at which we shall devote ourselves to the St'll, as we have already .devoted ourselves to the Father.

Scitne ill-intentioned persons endeavour to per s&ade- us, that the moment is ill cbOsen•for a fete; that we s;luuld have waited for the arrival of a Bulletin, as true, and less mournful, than the pre ceding one, which should inform us 'definitively in what state and condition was our ever-victori-; ous.army... : .Our response to : these. malicious- su 7 phisms is slluple.• We. have tempered our souls to the same degree of hardness as the triple bronze which envelopes your own.

They have done their duty. the terrors of the teeble sex, and the delusive rho domontades of our enemies, exaggerate our losses in vain. We know positively, that at the eno of December theßussians had in their hands 170,,000 prisoners, of whom 41 are 0-smerals, and 1200 Officers. These are still alive. You gill go to deliver'them, and witl bring them back triumph ant ; dragging also your.chains those barba rous Cossacks, who being no longer the objects• pf our fear, will serve to amuse our curiosity dur ing the triumphant fetes that shall attest the. com plete submission of the vast Russian empire, which, mistaking your philanthropic views, has rgarded a war of SIMPLE POLICY as a war of de vastation, and has completed its blind obstinacy, by exhausting your clemency, which you Glad car ried to such a point as to refuse them the light and happiness of that liberty which we enjoy, for fear of arming them one against the other. Be assured, Sire ! that nothing can equal our sentiments towards you. We shalt enjoy the fetes which you are preparing for us, with the in nocent simpli c ity which characterises all. your faithful subjec4. We have no country but - you: The Great Napoleon is our*Moses—our Mahomet —our Mango Capac. You have lost 400,090 men. Fear not, .that, imitating the example of the Weak Augustus, we should exclaim—VAxus, GIVE US BACK OUR LEGIONS ! On the contrary, give the order, and we will double r -we will triple those happy victims Of, your glory. Take our children, ourselves, our property : is yours. Finish your glorious work. Do not CODT, tent yourself with till: two wars which you sup port with so much glory and success, at a thou sand leagues distance one from the other, at the two extremities of your -empire—immovable, cause it is founded upon love ansladmiration, par ticularly since your last triumphs.

These diversions, worthy of yourhigh concep tions, and . proportioned to your inealcuglable power, only require 950,000 men, and 250 ships of the line; when these are once arranged with the prudence that characterizes all your political and military plans, then march yourself at the head of 600,000 men to recover P o l an d an d 6 0n .. quer Russia. 'We Nvill keep for you all equal num ber in reserve, for you have already proved to us, that 450,000 veterans are nut sufficient to subdue those barbarians., Most assuredly, *ire, with two millions of soldiers, and 250 ships of the line, you will suneed, by the sole force of your'genius, in the comp,est of the universe, and, hi shueing ur By Dutch Papers .to Saturday last, in our pre-, ceding columns, the important fact of a serious action having been fought near.l3reda, which we yesterday announced on the 'authority of passen gers arrived at Harwich - in a schuyt from Scheve ling,, is confirmed to' the fullest extent. • This }attle, for the details of which we anxiously look, Was, it seems, brought on by the Bri tish, who formed the right wing of the .Al lied, Army, and commenced about 7, o'clock in the morning of the I lth. It had been . the intention of General But.ctw and Sir T. GRAHAM to make a . general attack upon the enemy's posi tions on the fditowing• day, but DuCAEN, who dom.-, manded the French, to the number of at least 20,000 men, collected from all sides 'and concert , trated. for the protection of AnrW'erp, ha - Ving pushed his left wing further forward than avaS convenient to our British Heroes, the contest began on this quarter,,Which led to an engagement ail along the line, and the discomfiture of the foe. , The centre consisting of 10,000 Prussians under the immediate command of BuLow, speedily advanc ed , • to the aid of their British Comrades, anti their left (of the same description of force) beingsue- Cessively brought into action, an engagement, de scribed as very obstinate and sanguinary ensued The Enemy defended himself courageously, but what could resist Britisli vale urand Prussia n tuthu sialm ? The French were beat at all points, and forced to a precipitate retreat, with the loss of 800 prisoners, and of 12 or 14 pieces of 'cannon, by the latest accounts from •the field ; but to which loss we doubt not we shall have great ad ditions to make, when the complete results come to us in an official form. , The pursuit followed the high road from Breda . to Antwerp„which is only 25 miles from Breda. Hoegstraten and Wrest Wesel (both in Austrian Brabant, and about tniclAistance bet Ween these places,) have been oc cupied by the Allies, 'and at Loenhout, also within the confines of the Austrian territory, and nearer I to Antwerp than to 'Breda, have been established. the head-quarters of the Conquerors. Those were the first fruits of the victory of the I lth, but we have every reason to believe, that the onward career of the Allies.has far exceeded this success, and that they have approached within gun-shot . of Antwerp itself, after again beating the enemy at Braschaet, ahoutJs rules frtimThat City. Trete the French, sheltered by fortifications thrown up on the Lleatli of Braschaet, endeavoured to make a stand; but according to letters from Holland were assaulted intheir position, and forced to fly into An twerp with considerable loss. In consequence of this, our brave- fellows took possession of Donck, four miles, and of Mecexem, not three lniles from AntWerp, the picquets approaching to the very walls. When we add to this that gredt reinforce= ments arc hourly joining the' Alli e d Army, : l which must, when brought together, amount to 1 50,000 firelocks ; that the people of Antwerp arc notoriously disaffected to their Freacli defenders ; and that it would require a small army barely to man its extensive walls ; it will 110,i be thought too sanguine to anticipate, in spite of its formidable works, the speedy reduction (and we trust demo lition) of this most important naval depot. Among our Foreign Extracts, will be found the Eleventh Report of the Silesian Army, detailing the first successes which have attended its move ments on the left hank of the Rhine.
