'There are also accounts from Au GEREAU, Claim ing a victorious advance, with 40,000 men, against Buarra, the oceppation of Chamberry, Bourg, Nantua, and Macon ; and even a position under the walls of Geneva. '1";-:s part of the story is probably very grossly exaggerated, in order to alarm SCHWARTZENBERG for his rear. Some standards recently taken have been pom pously paraded about PaOs. The execution of a Royalist, and a Decree against all the friends of the BOURBONS, furnish matter for serious reflection, but we have no room to indulge in them at presefit. Important Dutch and German Papers occupy our pages so fully, that we dannot even index their chief contents. The accounts from Italy are most satisfactory and cheering. The Fifteenth Report of the Silesian Army gives a plain and gratifying narrative of the battles of Brierine and La Rothiere. A Declaration by Denmark will be perused with interest, and there is a Proclama tion ascribed to the CROWN PRINCE which, whe ther authentic or fabricated, cannot be too highly prized The following interesting intelligence has just reached us from Spain. It is a good proof of the spirit of the people of that Country. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM VITTORIA, FEB. 13. " This town is at present in a state -of the greatest commotion ; some lives have been ,al - lost, and there is no knowing where this sanguinary tumult may end. The cause is as follows : " The Vittoria Gazette of yesterday, which I enclose, contained the Treaty of Peace, signed by the Duke de S. CARLOS on the part of FERDI NAND, and the Count de LAFOREST on the part ,of BUONAPARTE. Towards the middle of the day some waggons were observed entering the town, containing furniture and other property, and it was found to belong to some of the Nobility, who had followed the fortunes of the French, and had fled with them to France, but who, having re ceived a. passport, Signed by FERDINAND, had thought fit to return to their houses in this town. • The inhabitants, however, who had suffered much • from the contributions levied on them by the French, and being exasperated to see these agents of BuoNAPARTE returning to enjoy the fruits of the efforts made by the Patriots, and recollecting, that whilst they were suffering under French tyranny and oppression, these Nobles were exempted from taxes, &c. rose in several pans of the town, broke into the different houses inha bited by families who were thought to favour the French, plundered them of all the property they contained, and but for the interference of the military force, would have massacred the inha • • • bitants. -•--- " Should any event of importance take plaCe, I shall not fail to communicate it." PORTSMOUTH, MA RC u 4.—Arrived his Majesty's ship Dryad, with the Cloriude French frigate, under jury-masts, captured off the Western Isles by the Eurotas frigate.. Though the following notice has by no means implicated any of the parties in the nefarious hoax 'practised on the •2lst ult. yet it certainly must impress the Public ‘vith• an idea that they arc not entirely free from suspicion. We trust, therefore, that some of them at least will seize the earliest opportunity of clearing themselves of the most remote idea of a participation in such an infamous transaction. The following notice was yesterday posted up at the Stock Exchange : Coin thee-room, March It is particularly requested that all those Members of the Stock Exchange who transacted business either directly or in directly, for arryof the persons under-mentioned, on Monday the 21st of February last, will favour the Committee with at interview : I-lon.

ROWLAND HILL, .a ball from a battery having passed within a foot of his Lordship, •and then killed Sir Row- LAN D's horse. Yesterday, a little before twelve o'clock, Gen. TAYLOR arrived at York House with dispatches from Holland. The Duke of YORK afterwards waited upon the PRINCE REGENT, to report the contents of the dispatches. General TAYLOR waited upon the Princess CHARLOTTE, and the Earls Of LIVERPOOL and BATHURST j and will this day proceed to Windsor. Thursday evening Mr..lonNsoN, the Messen ger, arrive l at the Foreign Office with dispatches from Lord CASTLEREAGH, but not of so late a date as those brought by Mr. RontNsoN. He came by way of Holland. Letters from The French coast state, that King FERDINAND set off front Valency on, the 22d, for Spain, with his uncle and brother ; and that he is released without 'my condition. _ _ Yesterday evening, at five o'clock, the Lottery began drawing.

By the care of the Danish Governthent, the war which already, for fifteen years, had devas•• kited. Europe,.had not disturbed the repose of the Danish:nation ; when the king., for a moment, s-aw himself under the necessity of using.delen sive means, partly for the protection of his sub jects' commerce, and partly for the security of his provinces bordering on Germany. " The attack made by the' English on his - Mat= jesty's capital, and carrying off the• Danish fleet in the year 1807, put an end to the happy tran quillity which kis Majesty had, until then, been enabled to preserve for his subjects. The Danish States, at that time, - had the-same common enemy with France, and the consequence was, that' an alliance was sought and concluded with that power.• The Emperor, openly and directly, promised men and money ; 'and a numerous army irunie diately moved into the provinces belonging to his Majesty the King. It was agreed that the ex pence of its support should be defrayed by the French Government, and this amounted, to a sum of several - millions of rix-dollars. Without un dertaking any thing, however, this many remain ed a burthen longer than 'the Danish Govern merit thought requisite. The expellee of its support remained unpaid, and the request of Denmark on this, point were equally faithless as those con cerning the announced requisitions in . money.— The situation of a state whose resources were al, ready diminished by the naval war, and by these naval disbursenicnts, became totally exhausted, again suffered a most prejudicial influence from the shutting of, the Continental ports, which was re presented as one of the means for obtaining a ge neral peace. The annexation of the Hanse'l'owns and contiguous provinces to the French Empire, became afterwards a most heavy burthen, with regard to the commercial intercourse with Ger many. Its effects extended even to literary con nections. Earnest professions whiCh svere Ire quentlyrenatved,hadgiven hopes, that tbeseobsta cles which were so directly contrary to the good understanding ira which his Majesty contributed all in his power, to remain with the French Govern ment, would have been removed, .but these hopes always remained unfulfilled. Whilst the. French army was retreating in the winter between 1812 and 13, the Imperial troops, which, according to a particular agreement, were to have remained. for the protection of the frontiers of Holstein, were drawn away. As the French Government had at the same time declared its intention of en tering into megociations for peace with all her ene mies,the King deemed it important for him to make overtures ofpeace to Great Britain. The alliance with France was• now become of no utility. The King would willingly have prevented the cities Of Hamburgh and Lubeck from again falling into the hands of the French, in order to keep the war front his own frontiers, and save from de struction those cities, whose interests were in such direct connection with those of his subjects; but his Majesty was obliged to desist froth the prosecution of -this plan ; llis•inwrests therefOire required that he should accept the offer made him of renewing the alliance with France,- and to give it a larger extension, in order to assure him of a powerful assistance against those Sovereigns, who • had not hesitatedto declare that they would sup port the demands of SWeden, which - were so ini mical to the integrity of his States. " The Icing on his part has- conscientiously performed the stipulations of the treaty. Whilst his auxiliary troops were fighting by, the side of the French troops, they received only a part of the pay, which according to the agreement was their due, and his Majesty's Subjects suffered a considerable loss, as well by the embargo laid on their property which was deposited in the ci, ties of Lubeck and Hamburgh, of which the French Government took to itself the privilege of disposal, as-by taking away the funds of the bank in the last mentioned city. The promises of .re storation given in consequence of the complaints thereon made, remained equally with the recla mation made on the subject without effect. " It was assured by the Treaty, that 20,000 'men should be in readiness to protect the Duchies and Jutland, but Marshal d'Eckmuld quitted the position which covered those provinces, and re treated with all the troops under his command to Hanaburgh, leaving the King's troops to their own fate; and who were not able to withsttind the superior force which was moving forward, to force, by their overmatch in strength, •an entrance into the country. The enemy's irruption into the Duchies, together with the loss of the fortresses, was followed by the King's being forsaken by an Ally, on whose assistance he had reasonable grounds for placing a reliance. " His Majesty has been under the necessity of consenting to the greatest sacrifices to protect the remaining part of his states from invasion, with which they . were threatened by land by the com bined troops of several powers, and for the pur pose of again getting possession of those pro vinces which had fallen into the enemy's hands. '' He recalled his Minister at the Court of the French •Emperor, and declared to the Alinister of his Imperi'al . Majesty residing at his Court, that he could no longer consider him as •being.in.that capacity, and that opportunity should be given him for to return to France. " His Majesty likewise declares, that he will join the Sovereigns united against France, in Or der to assist in bringing about a general peace, for which.all the nations of Europe are languish ing, and 'which is so necessary for the Danish States. • " Aliddlefort, Jan. 17, 1814." HANOVER, FEB. 6.—His Royal Highness , the Crown Plince of Sweden has addressed the follow ing Proclamation to the French Nation : " FRENCHMEN !—lt is not a strange• who ad dresses you, but a man who is bound by the dearest feelings to your happy country. To you he owes hiS first fame ; you have seen him defend your cause while it was noble and just ; you have seen him shed his blood with joy for his country, when you fought for it ; you have seen him make all your wishes—all your hopes his own, and exert himself to make the French name beloved eVeti tti the entitatiet to *bleb he etincid-Otti Idtif Victoribtis btinners. " Frenchmen !-- , What is become of your inliqa mCrable armies ? What of your Mil'tary Where are. those legions which were yo.ic prtie j and which seemed to ensure your pro:pt/i.y for ever ? What scourge has carried them off I' Al are stink into a dhairful ab y ss. Ten ye Its ago your frontiers seemed to bid deflapce to attack now they are invaded. Dirope admired you then —see what you are now. When put eyes ova , 'look the globe, they can discover sctircei 4 single friendly people, and every, where they meet vrith countries which are the graves of thousands of Frenchmen. " Who is the anthor of so many evils A man who is not a :Frenchman by birth ; by what ill fate is he to become your master and your scourge ? The commencement of his military career was marked by a bloody scene in the walls of Paris ; then you had . to' reproach him with the death of '40,000 brave men, whom he meant to sacrifice in another part if the globe to his purpose, of hecoMing Emperor of the East.. Deceived in his hope he left his army, and while he suffered. his comrades to perish in the burning deserts of Lybia, he. himself, in order to return to France, violated the law of quarantine Whieh St.' Louis had observed. " Unhappily so many acts of violence were rem warded with the Consular dignity, and soon after the Imperial purple. " After he had attained the supreme power he promised France eternal repose, and Europe peace. You believed him. What has he done to • fulfil your hopes ? broken every treaty as ,soon as he had made it. " This Peace-maker of the world has carried death and desolation into .Spain, and. made you the instrument of -his ambition. You have seen how he sowed,. the seeds of cbscord betweett the father and. the son : how he then appeared in Bayonne as mediator, promising, in the Pare of Europe, to allay the quarrel which he himself had inflamed ; and how den, alledging the paternal dignity, and the respect due to grey hairs, he robbed both of their dignity; 'sending •the one to prison, and.the other to exile. " .Europe was still silent, stnpified by so many horrors ; but so far was the patience of the Princes and People from satisfying the man whose yoke you bear, that liis ambition seemee only to be in creased by .it. We saw him annihilate his own work—fall upon his allies'as upon' his enemies ; tear one of his brothers from the throne which he had himself created ; rob _another of part of the \ dOminions which he ,cad given him. We saw how he made the incorporaton, the overthrow of one country follow that of another, and in his . convulsive rage robe Eprope of the last illusion of a durable State, with which it seemed to con sole itself. 2 At laSt he was at the goal when lie left his dominions to lead the French . 700 leagues from their country, and by this gigantic ent'erprie realize all that is related of the conquerors of All tlilltitV. • At this period of his adversity, ‘vi,el the dawn of freedom rose upon Europe, what did.you think of him :who, after..suck various miseries and sufferings which he had brought u pan the ripest army, left in time .abyss of destruction,' into he Lad p!unged it ? What did you say at the. Ge neral who thus betrayed lkis 'unhappy soldiers, and abandoned them in immense deserts of lit”tv, without food, without clothing, without a guide ? " Behold here the miserable remains of an army but lately so fine, stretched out upon the ice, perishing by the three , fold death of cold, famine, and wounds ! See the author of all the sufferings of these wretches, renounce every sen timent of pity, thinking only on his flight, bevet ventures to appear befOre you, to demand from you new exertions, new levies of troops. " He has obtained but too many. Again have 200,009 Frenchmeti_perished to drench tvirli their blood the soil ofGerneany, whose inhilhit ants loved the French and did not resolve upon revenge - till after 13 years of ill-treatment and disgrace. - vine justice has baffled the last efforts of expirini.7 tyranny. The. painful sacrifices which you have again made have not been able to stop the pro grees of your misfortunes. , " Frenchmen, Germany is free ; but Napoleon, driven back to the natural boundaries of your empire;will require from you new sacri fices.. To obtain them he will tell you'that the Allies intend to divide France, and he Ivho wish ed to bring under his yoke all nations, from Naples to Stockholm; from Lisbon to Moscow, wily talk to you of 'the boundless ambition of his Adversaries. But your reason will teach who is the author of the war, whether it is he who,svith out remission, carries war into all countries and nations, or those who have only repelled a hos, tile attack, and•pursued the aggressor. " The Allies will not divide - Frarwe. They desire it to be independent-itself, and to aeknow ledge the independeßce of all other nations. .They offer it peace they demand it, because the world requires it, and because they make it their :41-)ri to end the miseries of the world. They msk peitce from the French Senate, and if the Senate sloes not venture to decide for this peace, universally desired, they demand it of the Armies anal of the People, exhausted in its - population, lo a d e d w i t h taxes, wounded in its noblest feelings, robhed nt its children, whose industry is fettered, and v,-los, since Napoleon has governed it, has neither peace for the present, nor security for the infure. " Frenchmen ! look around you—the abyss is still open—the hand which plunges you inot it.is still lifted !—Shall it throw the last of you, in ? Will you permit the whole population. of your country to perish ? And .rlo not you perceive that nothing can better the inhuman man - whom Tate has hurried over you % In the wide c)-cumfere.ice of the beautiful, once happy France, where is ae man who enjoys his freedom, his life, and whine the commands of Napoleon have not reached ? " Compel him, then, to conclude the peace -which is required .from you. On the other hand, should the dreadful evils which. result from a ty rannical Government, prevent the French People. and its Armies from declaring• for peace, the Al lies_must- lament that they. cannot reach the Op pressor of France, but through a People whom • they esteem, and even - then their motto will be—
