tory of events from the 11th to the 22d ult. It appears
that the capture of Rheims on the 13th, by Napfrleon in
person, was preceded by a well fought battle, in which
the Allies acknowledge a loss of 2000 killed and wounded,
and eight pieces of cannon. From LOrd Burghersh's dis-
patches we learn that having beard of Blucher's suc-
cess at Laon on the 12th, Prince Schwartzenberg deter-
mined to act on the offensive, and for that purpose moved
his head-quarters to Pont-sur-Seine. Intelligence of the
defeat of Count St. Priest at Rheims, however, having
reached him, he changed his plans, and fell back to Arcis,
intending to march on Chalons, in order to support. the
Russian veteran. But on the 16th be leartit, that the
enemy occupied Chalons and Epernay, where Baonaparte
arrived ou the 17th. The rest of this dispatch describes
the success of General Bianchi over Augereau, at Macon,
where he took 500 prisoners and two pieces of cannon,
and the advance of Count Bubna with reinforcements
from Geneva, towards Lyons. All the French posts in
the Simplon were taken. Lord Burghersh also mentionsthe
surrender of Custrin, one of the last fortresses that still
remained in the hands of the enemy within the Prussian
territories. The next dispatch, dated the 22d, at Bar-
sur-Aube, was forwarded by Lord Castlereagh.. It states
that on the '2lst the French occupied Arcis,. whilst the
Allies collected their troops before that place, without
any opposition except an endeavour to cut off the division
of the Prince Royal of Wirtemberg, which terminated in
the loss of three pieces of cannon on the part of the ene-
my. The two armies then remained in presence of each ,
other without undertaking any thing. At half-Fast one
o'clock the Allies perceived that the French army
vas defiling on the road to Vitry. Only a strong
rear-guard was left at Arcis, and they lost-no time in at-
tacking it m ith their whole force. After an-obstinate re-
sistance, it -was driven out of the town with considerable
loss) and followed the main army on the Vitry rcad.
The grand army was preparing to follow. The next dis-
patch is from Lieutenant-Colonel Cooke, and mentions
the advance of Marshal Blucher to Rheims on the 19th
ult. without any engagement, the enemy retreating at his
4pproach. The dispatches from Lord Wellington are to
the lbth ult. and show that in the South every thing wears
the most favourable aspect. Unable to prevent the ad-
vance of our troops, Soult had retreated beyond Tarbes,
after several actions; in which his rear-guard had suffered
considerable loss.

cOMMOTIONS IN PARIS.
We have heard from a source on which we think we can
depend, that there have been eon-motions iu Paris. Scarci-
ty of flower and of wood is said to have been the cause : a
general insurrection is expected, and seems to be near at
hand.- The l'ncursions of the light troops of the Allies inter-
cept those supplies, which havo been besides interrupted by
the freezing of riyers. But now The position of the Allied
Armies prevents the possibility of any constant supply of
thoie articles, and. Paris seems to be doomed to the fate it
experienced in the time of League.
The report prevalent on change yesterday (for which we
vouch no more than as current rumours), is that Blucher
had entered Paris.
