tRENCII PIPERS--RA IMES ETWEEV BUONAPARTE
AND BLUCIIER---PIIMITING OF PARIS.

3foniteurs to the 15th„ and minor French Papers to the
the 14th instant, were received in the course the week.
They are totally silent on the subject of the negociatiins,
which in the former arrivals from that country, were repre-
sented to he in fuel) a state of activity and forwardness. The
lure, it seems, was proved inefficient to entice the French
people to new sacrifices or renewed exertions. and attempts
have accordingly been made to rekindle their military ar-
dour, by exaggerat.d accounts of successive victories ; and
three bulletins were published under the dates of the 11th,
the 12th, and the 15th. The first contained an accnunt of
Buonaparte having attacked the enemy at Champubert, a
small village near .-sezatine, a town about sixty miles from
Paris, to the north of Nogent. The enemy's force con-
si•ted of tw-lve re :intents and forty pieces of cannon, under
the command r.f. Gen. Otiourieff, who it is stated was taken
with all his Cenerals, all his Colonels, cannon, caissons and
bagoge; 6000 prisoners were also taken, the rest were ci
the' "killed in the battle or drowned in a fish-pond into
which they were driven. Bconapatte was, at the time the
Bulletin was dated, btiskly pursuing General Sackett, who
separated from General Blocher.
According to the Bul'etin of the 12th, Buonaparte next
day at day-duetik eltamp:mhert, podicd a corps towards
Chalons to
.ke,.p in check the doemvs's columns who had
shown themselves on that road, and with the rest of his army
took tl e road to Mouttoiruil (twelve mi'es 001% ft ow
.Sc::anne) in enrsuit, as ese shy.' ld suppose, of Genes at
Sai•ken,. whom he had not, evidently, pursued the day hef.re,
since he had remaioed at Chain, aulte,t, and whom in the
preceding bulletin he had represented as separated from
General Blucher: A league, however, from MonAnirail, he
met- not General Sackett, but Marshal Blucher himself.
" After an action of two hours the whole of the enemy's
army was overthrown. The enemy ever% wh,:e broken, is
completely touted ;, infantry, tiPcrv, ammunition, all is in
OW' power or overthroix.m.. The result will be immense."

FEB. 20.

The result was. hoever,-that next day Buonaparte. " fof2.
liwed up his successes." Blucher, wl.o the day hefore had
lost all his infantry, artillery, and ammun'tion, was &ice)
".from position to position" towards Cha`eau-Thierry, which
Buonaparte says the Ft enr.h troops entered pell•mell with tl:e
Pt ussians, pu-stng afterwa,ds the road to Saissora,
the wrecks of that army whirl) is in dreadful cotrfusion."
The result of the neti..-n of that day, the 12th, was, that the
Frus,ian.corps, which the day before had lost all its artillery,
lost again 33 pieces of cannon, And 3,000 prisoners, &c. &c.
In order to complete the French military accounte,
shall inseit here a kind of telegrarhic dispatch received the
day herore wsterdav from Boulogne, with this preliminary
observation that the Mr. Martin, " Commissary-General of
Police, on the coast of the Isl,qth," to whom it is addressed, is
the agent appointed to inspect the smugglers from our shore,
who resort to Gre.yelines, the only place to which they arc
now allowed to resort. From this ,circuin,tancc, and consi,
Bering on the one band the advantages ,s bleb gam' ling in
the funds offers, and on the other. the interest of Buouaparte
in districting the public opinion in this country, while the
grand question of peace or war was still nndetrrmined, it is
only to be wondered at that we have not received more com-
munications of this kind.

" NAGUEE."
Tt is evident from this lest telegraphic dispatch-, that Buo-
napartc, who beat Blucher at Montmirail on the 1 1 rh; who
next illy entered pell-mell w;th him into Chateau-Thierry,
a,d :terwards pursued him on the road to Snissons, must
ha. e I,c en me4suring back his steps towards Pal is, when he
fo,,pht the action of the 15th at Montmis ail again with the ,
same Blucher, whose army he had annihi'ated on the lttb.
Our opinion of these military movements is, that the Allies
,have arloptrd, near Paris. the same plait-which wr,s so sue-
ecs:rnl to them near Dresden ; and in the present instance, as
in the former, the vutoran Blucher has- taken upon himseif
to bear the brunt of the battle in order to facilitate the opera-
tions of Prince Schwa. tzenberg. He then drew Buonara!te
and Macdonald
:from \Diesden, towards the Neisse and the
Queis, he now draws them from Paris, towards the Maine,
white•the Austrians advance nearer Pais by the Soave, and
the Seine When Buonaparte is recalled by these c--mhined
movements towards the capital, ,hreatened by the Austrian:,
he advances again. and fights the reheating eueray on the
same ground which he had disouNd with him hut fiur day;
before ; at the same time, it is imrossibie not to admit ;hat
Buonaparte gained eensideral‘le r,dvant;ges nn the oth, but
compared to the general sta!e cfwatfire, ..nd even N't WI refer-
ence to subsequent e•:.nts on that line of operation., • hey can
be considered as parti •I es •ccial'v when the vast fin- es
which advance to.the assistani:e of the Allies are teen into
account.

In tile mean time Pais is fortifying; that is, the revoll-
tionary Emperor is hirmelf fug' ishing a preten( e for the de-
struction of that city, for no militar art c-n defend Paris
