With the rest of his army he took the road to Monturirail. A league.beyond he met the corps of General Blucher, and after an action of two hours the whole of the enemy's army was overthrown.

PARIS, FEB. 12.—His Majesty King Joseph reviewed yesterday, hi the Court of the Thuille ries, the grenadier companies of the National Guard of Paris. - The officers and subalterns of the companies of fuzileers were present. The. fine appearance of these- troops, the excellent spirit with which they arc animated,..must inspire the citizens of Paris with the greatest: confidence.. A lively emotion was excited by 'the appearance of his Majesty the King of Rodie, in the uniform ' of - the National Guard. . During the review a courier arrived with dis patches, which his Majesty King Joseph read aloud. They contain in substance, that his, Ma jesty the Emperor attacked,. on- the 10th, near Sazanne, a Russian corps of 12 regiments, which . was completely annihilated. Six thousand men were taken prisoners, and the rest, driven into the marshes. Forty-two. pieces of cannon were take: - I from th, cucuty.. laCIlt:l 41 110111turhozr, the t..:0- bonds, all the officers were killed or taken pri soners. The materiel of this. corps has been en-, tirely destroyed. We hare not lost above 200: men. It' is added, that the corpS of General Blucher ' and Sacker' are- in a critical situation. The Em peror is in pursuit of them. • These dispatches are dated from Champaubert. This happy news, which, was received n•ith re peated cries of live l'Empereur ! nue L'lmpera triee Vive le.Rui de Rome! circulated rapidly throughout the capital, and caused universal joy. h.Was again. announced yesterday evening at 6- .o'clock, by a discharge of cannon. Artillery has - just been placed at the barriers of Paris, on the north and east ends of the city ; the batteries are served by pupils pf the Polytechnic School. The National guird of Paris, the compa nies of the department of the Seine, do duty there jointly with the troops of the line. Chcvaux de frize arc placed across the avenues and roads which terminate at the entrances of the capital. The outer boulevards are much frequent ed by Vac inhabitants of Paris. Old troops conti nually arrive in this city ; everyday some depart to join the army; three or four thousand are gone to-day. PARIS, FEB. 13.—Iiis Majesty King Joseph was yesterday reviewing 20,000 troops of the line, when he received the glorious news of the con= tinned successes of the Emperor. At noon the staffs of the different corps being assembled in a circle round his Majesty, he read them the dis patches which he had just received. This news excited a degree of joy, which it would be diffi cult.to express. The sentiments of the brave soldiers, many of Whom 'are adorned with the insignia of valour and honour, were displayed in unanimoae . cries of " Vive rEmpereur !" One might read upon their countenances the noble emulation which animated them, and their desire soon to share the fatigues, the dangers, and the glory of the war riors charged with the defence of their country. The pews flew from. rank to rank, and their joy rose to enthusiasm.. A quarter of an hour afterwards, discharges of artillery announced to the capital this new success of our , armies. Bills containing the happy news were posted up, and one might judge from the throng of readers, and from the joy which they expressed, of the attachment of the Parisians to their country and to the Government. The brilliant advantages gained by our armies, exciting the courage of all Frenchmen, must prove to them, that a nation is invincible when it is united to its Government, and defends its territory and its honour. The shouts of victory will resound in all pairs of the Empire, and give new energy to national enthusiasm, the happy effects of which we now perceive. It affords us extreme satisfaction to be able to give the inhabitants of the capital the honourable testimony that they have displayed, under the pre_ LONDON, FRI D,11", FEBRU,IRY 18, 1814. The reports on 'Change to-day are various and contradictory; ' It is said, but we believe on. no good ground, that a French Balletiti•bas been re ceived from Calais, detailing the'particuldrs of an ather,victorygained hyBUONAPARTE over BLUCHER on the 15th, iri which the latter lost 10,000 men. The report has certainly had the effect it was intended to produce on the funds ; for the fluctu ation has been unusually great. Omnium, which opened at 27, advanced to 28, .and fell to 261 it however rallied, and rose to 27 when our 'Pa per went topress. Another Report prevails,. that SCWARTZEN ZERQ is in Paris ; another - that BUON4PAFTE has been killed; the former is very probable, and we pray to Gov that the latter may be true. The French Papers to the 15th, the arrival Of which we announced yesterday, are at length fully before the public, and we are enabled to judge of the nature and extent of the successes claimed by the Enemy. It appears that all the statements :which have been circulated for the last few days With respect to actions on. the 10th, 1 lth, and 12th, are well founded ; there has been a series of important battles on these days, and not, as wits imagined from the localities mentioned,. of a par tial description, between the Allied right and the left of the adversary, but between the - main French army under BUONAPAZTE in person, • and the greater portion, at 'least, of the corps un der the command of General BLUCHER. On the 10th, it is asserted that the 'I yrant , having moved. acrOss the Seine on his left, succeeded by,a manoeuvre in cutting off 12 reglMents and 49 ,i - eces of cannon, which were posted at Chameauberti in,taking the diis - OiiiE - F - P .. ) l it(j ' jriErF) his whOle Staff, and 6000 prisoners; and i•n driving the remainder• into a morass. In copse" quence of this, he putsued SACIEN, who was sepa rated from BLUCHER. Upon this account it is t° be observed, that the fOrce said to be destroyea Must have maintained the communications. hetwee 6 BLycHER. and SACKEN, and as BUONAPARTB 1° lowed his success towards the North, by Al"" mirail and Chateau Thierry, against the latter; it, is evident that the former was left in the ciireet i°ll. of Ehst, or 'towards Chalons. On the 1 Ith the French Reports proceed td narrate, that BUONAPARTE left Champaubert e t . • day-break, a corps towards .Chalons to : keep the Allies "in check, while he pushed 011, tQ Montmirail, about 15 miles from Chatnpaubet where be met the corps of General BLUCHER: 31141 (facile dicta) in two hours the whole .was o'er" thrown : the rota is described as complete ; in ; fantry;'Artirlery, Am mu niti on , a ll i n t h e p o wer °,` the Conqueror"--" the RussianTA;MTdcstroy &c. Upon this second da — y'zi report ‘vc have to notice, that, accordilig to the Report of t he preceding day, it could neither be the Army wid er EtuctiOin'periin, nor the princ . ipaFpurt of 1115 Army, which was thus defeated on the 11th. 0 that Veteran were s e p a r a t e d f rom S ACK EN ; an d left upon the Aube; and VON Yoax, with znolhe'.
