It t (3 „ W appears, that the delusive' Reports of the caO pre -served barely so much of the outline, o f f to state pretty accurately the nature the 'e 'Mov e ments of the hoStile Armies, and . th ai llatue s of the places where they fought; but all the interior:cOlouririg and design is only t e'llark able for i nvent : on and exaggeration.

These positions seem to hive tpeti compulsory, in consequence of the offensive f-44ticans directed by BUONAPARTE against this 44.ee, while it was ' occupied' in ,driving MacDo (4ll/ irito Paris.- Two days previous to the 10th ti the affair at Champaubert took place) 13Lrtt-c.IIP'II, who was advancing froth the East, ltf:T a(l ed to, Vzaus, in order to protect his .1,111. 1 a " I lk, th reatened by an attack at Baye.— to fall th e opportunity to the Enemy 4110 411, with his C oncentrated force, upon .

LOWE ) , and they resume the narrative of •the transactions. in the same quarter from the 13t11 to the 17th in clusive. BLUCHER had - driven MARMONT ° from Eloges to beyond Champaubert during ti s i 13th while BuoNApAwra 'was following up his success towards Chateau Thierry, i. e. as BUONAPARTE marched North, BLUCHER chased MARMONT from the East to the point whence his Master" had departed. During the retreat of the fortner,. : who had only 9 or 10,000 men with him, lie suffered considerably from the-Cossacks. On the 14th, jVIAIti..IONT still further retreated from Fromentiers to Janvilliers . which brought him nearer the rear of BUONAPARTE, and enabled the latter, by a forced march from Chateau Thierry, to bring his guards and cavalry, together with the retreating corps, into Action with BLUCHER on that day. A des perate conflict ensued, and it appears that nothhig but tyre valour of the corps under' the veteran Commander of - the Silesian Army, and his skill, saved this . portion of his force from that annihilation which the Enemy 'falsely asserted it bad experienced. We need not repeat the details of • this sanguinary fight ; suffice it to say that lit.uctua, in a retreat of , four 'leagues before a very superior foe, and with his rear intercepted, cat his way through every obstacle, and reached Eloges, after causing a•loss to the Enemy commensurate with that which he experienced, viz. of 3,500 killed, wodnded, and. prisoners. BLUCHER subseqnently fell. back bn Chalons, where he was joined, on the 16th, by SA-CKEty and VON YORCK, who, instead of being pursued in disorder towards Rh-eims; marched up the right of the Marne to replace themselves Un-. / der the orders of•their Chief, from whom the. heat , , of the pursuit of MAciaotaaLD appears to have too far separated them. It also appears, and the information is most important, that neither the corps of LANOERON or ST. PRIEST were engaged in these battles ; on the contrary, they were advancing rapidly, subse qqent to the 16th, to join BLUCHER at Chalons ; and we find, near the conclusion of the Bulletin, that this brave old Warrior, at the head of from 50 to 60,000 well-appointed and gallant soldiers, had pat himself in motion from Chalons towards Troyes, to concentrate with Prince SCHAWART ZENBERG, whose head-quarters were to be at the latter place on_ the -19th. The advance had ar -1 rived at Arcis-sur-Aube. The glorious action of General Witst9NGE 110DE at Soissons fills up and balances the fortune of the eampaign on the right wing of the Allies. His force now takes the part before sustained by Von YQRCK. The last dispatch relates to /the operations of Prince SCHWARTZE/C - BEAG, and de6.ils his ad vance along the Seine, his forcing the bridges on that river, and the taking of Sens and Fontain bleau by assault, by his left Wing. The retreating Corps of. VICTOR and OUDINOT were, it appears, frequently attacked, and, compelled to fly with loss. The following were the positions of the Allies :-- General WITTGENSTEIN crossing at Pont-Sur-Seine, Gene rals BIANCIII and GUILAY were at the same titre marching on Montereau, and mep.sures were taken tO place the Grand Army on the left of the Seine, with the right at Mery, and the left at Montcreau, with the corps of Generals WREDE and WlTroEssmix, and of the Prince Royal of Wut _TEMBERC at Proving and Villeneuve. Consequently, upon hearing of the successful advance of BLUCHER against MARMONT, it was resolved to push the he:;d-quarters to Bray, and advance d:nyn both banks of the Seine upon Pa ris. It thus is . evident that the - Allies were in con stant communication, and that the ultimate retreat of SCHWARTZENBERG may be ascribed as much to the preceding retrograde of BLUCHER at Eloges, as to-any advantages gained over himself by Buo- NAPARTE. Mr. ROBINSON also heard oilicially'ort his road at Troyes, of the action of the 17th, (it cannot we think be the 18th as stated) at Nangis. In this the advanced cavalry of the * Allies were driven back with considerable less of 'nen and artillery, which induced SCHWARTZENEERG to retire behind • the Seine. On the following day some desperate fighting took place at Montereau, in which after being repeatedly. .repulsed, BtJONAPARTE succeed ed in forcing the position of the Prince of Wirt-, TE,)6ERG, in seizing the Bridge and transporting part of .his army to the lett of the Seine. We confess that the latter intelligence gives us more uneasiness than any other, as this ad vantage not only endangers this portion of the Allied army, but the light Cavalry, &c. which had been pushed from Fontainbleau towards Paris. In every other respect; the'general aspect Qt this 'intelligence is good, as it relieves us front the apprehensions which the falsehoo(ls of the 'however , icubted, inspired.—We see the atZa.in ready to •xepeat the assault with a Tyra superior artry and with] greato expeetnte, against a ireakened and harassed Eneltiy. On' the Subject of the Negociations nothing has transpired. They seem to be at a pause, and the inflammation caused by these battles is hot calcu lated to bringthe parties to a more pacific frame of mind ' 'Upon the coalition of MURAT, the conduct of the Cortes, and other• important subjects, -we are compelled by the press of matter to defer offering a few remarks. , " give this day • copious anti important ex tracts from Atnerican Papers. Our news iron' Canada is to the sth inst. The particulars of the capture of the French frigates, the Alcmene andlphigenia, by the Vene rable and Cyane, as announced 'in our Paper of yesterday, will be in to-morrow night's Gazette. THE ROYAL FAMILY. Yesterday, at one o'clock, Princess MAnY went In one of the PRINCE REGENT'S carriages, from the Queen's Palace to Carlton House. The carriage returned, and brought the. QUEEN and Prince s s ELIZABETH, joined by th e D u k e ' o f Y ORK where they were and Pl'incess. CHARLOTTE, when they partook of .some refreshment, and at . half-past two o'clock the QUEEN, accompanied by the PRINCESSES ant' Lady CRANLEY, set off in her travelling carriage for Windsor, escorted by a party of Light Horse. At an early hour yesterday morning the Right Hon. F. ROBINSON waited upon the Earl of Lr vF.Rroot, at Fife-house, with the dispatches"from Viscount CAsTLEREAGIf.. Ina short time after, Mr. HAMILTON,. the Under Secretary of State, beinginformed of the arrival of the Right Hon. Gentleman, went to Fife-house to attend him.— The - Earl of LIVERPOOL waS so much recovered from his indisposition ,as to go out for the first time, and at half past eleven o'clock went in his carriage to Carlton-house, to inform the PRINCE REGENT 'of the contents of the dispatches, and at the same time introduced Mr. ROBINSON to his 'Royal Highness. .The Noble Earl remained'with the Prince a considerable time, when he returned to Fife-house, to attend a Cabinet Council to be held 'there at- two o'clock', for which•he gave di rections to be summoned. The - Council was at 'tepded by all the Cabinet Ministers except Lord CASTI.EREAon, when.•the dispatches brought,by Mr. ROBINSON were taken into consideration. A little before four o'clock the LORD CHANCELLOR waited upon the• PRINCE -.REGENT at Carlton , horse, to report the result of their deliberations, and remained frith his Royal Highness Upwards of an hour. The rest of the Cabinet Ministers remained in' deliberation till near five o'clock. It is reported that the Comte d'Escart arrived on the Bth,,at night,.at Troyes, the head-quarters of the Ames. The two Counts de POLIGNAC,WhO were arrested and tried with MoREAu, have made their escape from Paris, and arrived at head quarters. Sir VICARY Glans was , yesterday sworn in Lord Chief Justice df the. Court of Common Pleas, before . the LORD CHANCELLOR, at Lincoln's Inn Hall; mid Mr. Baron Ttiolsisorri as Chief Baron of the Exchequer. The Viceroy of Mexico was a passenger on board ihe Spanish prize taken by the French, and retaken by the Alenelaus, Capt. Sir PETER PAR KER. He was taken out by the French 'on the morning after her capture, and before the French men had discovered the treasure, which has since been found on board her. THE THEATRE."-MrS. JORDAN made her second appearance last. night at Covent-Garden Theatre, as Peggy, in The Country Girl. Her spirit -and humour effectually triumphed. over the /power of time, and enabled her to excite as much pleasure . as she has always done in the same character.— FAWCETT'S Moody deserves td be mentioned as a correct and animated performance.—After the Play a Serio-comic Farce, in two acts, was re -presented, under the title of The Wandering Boys, or The Castle of 0/ivid. Is is said to' be an alte ration, by Mr. Pocock', of a French Piece, en titled Le Pelerin - Blanc. The Piece, though full of improbabilities, is far from being defective in interest. On the contrary, some passages were of so terrific asnature, that sympathy was nearly. absorbed in horror, and some marks of disappro bation were excited. The general voice, how ever, was in favour of the Piece, arid sanctioned its repetition. It was much indebted to the sup port of the performers, particularly LISTON, FAR LEY,' BLANCHARD, MiSS MATTHEWS, MISS BOOTH, and Mrs. EGERTON.. " CITY BUSlNESS.—Yesterdafa Court of Com, mon Council was held at Guildhall, which was very numerously attended.

The Committee at the Stock Ex4hange for the Protection. of Property against Frauds, was, in. the course of yesterday, joined .by the Committee for General Purposes, and continued the invesri. gation till evening. A number of re - spectable Gentlemen were examined, and such a body of evidence procured as cannot fail to lead to a di-- covery of the principal actors in the late atrocious transaction. A communication was sent, in the course of the afternoon, ,to the Directors of the Batik in attendance, Apprising them of the pro gress that had been made, apdrequusting their co operation. An applkation was afterwards made to the LORD MAyog, and another to Bow-street j and, we understand, that a competent number of officers -have been ordered to be in readini!ss to act as occasion'may require. It is reported that several persons are in custody, on suspicion of be ing implicated in the conspiracy. The arrival of the express from Dover yesterday morning, and all the industry that was used to influence the funds, had no sensible effect, all respectable holders of bills and stock being deterred from buying or selling, and nothing was dune for mo ney, but all for the account.
