BURGHERSH.

The Right Hon. Lord ViAeotint Castlereagh,

f':. cart if a Dispatch from Lord Burghersh, to Ilscount Castlereagh,
dace! Colombe, March 1, 1:114.

After the capture of the Bar on the 127th, and of the whole post.
tion of the enemy on this side of the Aube, Prince Schwartzenberg
3 eAcrtlay ;Hustled the French across that river, and established his
adv:iticed posts of eavally near blagny on the left, and Val Stizenay
on the right.
Oa the evenieg of the 27111, a report was received front the Prince
Royal of Wirtemberg, that the corps of Marshal Macdonald was in
positiva at Clairvanx and Lit Ferte.sur-Aube.
Prince Schwartzenberg directed the Prince Royal, notwith-
standing, to coutiune the movement which had already been
prescribed to him upon llar-sur•Seine, and to attack the enemy,
either at La Ferte, or in any other situation in which he should find
him. Till the sucees of this operation was known, Prince
Schwartzeaberg determined not to risk the infantry of ie corps.
which had fought in the battle of the 27th, across the Aube. This
obstacle has.however now been removed. 'lite Prince Royal sue.
seeded yesterday in driving t!:t French from their positions. The
corps of General 'Gnilay, which was placed under his orders, at-
tacked and carried the town of La Ferte. The Prince Royal took
possession of Clait vaux.
The‘e successes having been obtained, the two corps advanced
upon Pontette and St. Usage, where the enemy occupied a position
ofconsiderahle strength, but,which he abandoned on the appearance
of the Allies.
The head-quarters of the Prince Royal were yesterday at Charn-
pignole; he has advanced this day towards Bar-sur-Seitte. The re-
sult of his operations upon that place is not as yet received.
In a letter from General Tettenborn, dated the 27th, from Vertu%
it appears that officer was attacked on that day by four thousand of
Bnonaparte's guards at Ferte-Champeniiise; he had retired from that
place to Vern's. Buonaparte himself was at Arcis, and a Consider'
able corps of his army was marching upon Sezanne.
Upon the receipt of this intelligence, Prince Schwa r
termined to push the coil* of Gsierals Wittgenstein as 1
upon Vandcenvre. They will arrive at that place tomorrow, and
will afterwards advance upon Troyes.
If the corps of the Prince Royal of Wirtemberg and General Gui.
lay have succeeded in re-establishing themselves at Dar-sur-Seine,
they will be directed.: by the left • of the Seine, to au also upon
Troyes.
