CRISIS.

poltf, Fits a*—•Her Majesty the ETltrfeßS 1134 roeeived the
following accounts of the situation of the minks to the 24th of

February
On the t2d, at two in the afternoon, the Emperor went to the
village of Merg-snr-Seisie; Gen. Boyer attacked, at Morg, the
wrecks of the corps of Generals Blucher, Sackett, and Yorek, which
bad passed the Aube to join the army of Prince Schwartzenberg, at
Troyes. General Royer attacked the enemy at the pis de charge,
overthrew him, and got possession of the town. The enemy in his
rage set fire to it with such rapidity, that it was impossible to pene-
trate through the fire to pursue hint. We took 100 prisoners.
From she lid to the 33d, the Zmperor bed his head-oltarters at the
little hamlet of Chatres.
" On the 23(1, Prince Wentzel Lichtenstein conic to the head-
quarters. This new flag of truce was sent by Mince St.liwartzen-
berg to ask for an armistice. General Milband, commanding the
cavalry of the 341 corps, has taken psisoners 200 horsemen between
Pavilion and '1 rover. Gen. Girard coining from Sens, and =kit-
ing by Villeneuve, PArchevique, Vigo, and' St. Lnbant, fen in
with-the rearguard of Prince Maurice Ilelstenotein, and took from
bun six pieces of cannon and 600 men on horseback, who were sur-.
rounded by the brave division of the cavalry of General Rousse.
On the 13d, our troops invested Troyes en all sides. A Rus-
sian Aid-dc-Camp came to the out-posts, to request time to evacu-
ate the city, otherwise it should be burnt. This consideration
stopped the movements of the Emps tor. The town was evacuated
in the iiight, and we entered it in Use morning. It is impossible to
form au idea dthe excesses which the inhabitants have endured
&ming the t 7 occupation of it by the enemy. It would be
equally slii.ficult to pint the cothwimem and the transpures they
shewed on she arrival of the Emperor. A mother who sees her
children is :cued from death; a slave whose chains are broken after
the mug vinyl captivity, do not experience more Wray joy than
that which the inhabitants of Troyes .have mattifeated.
" Their conduct has been honourable, anti worthy of praise.
The Theatre was opeu every evening, bat no man, no woman, even
of the lower clams, would appear there.
Sit an ()au, an ancient emigrant, and Sim Vederange„an &laciest
garde k corps, declared in favour of the enemy, anti wore the cross
of St. Louis. 'they have been' aocmcd before a private commission,
and conilvinned to death. 'the fist has nodesgone the sentence, ear
arm& has been condemned ;or non-appeartmee„
,* The whole population desirea to march. g Yon bad good
(wise,' cried the inhabitants surrounding the Emperor, to tell es
to rise en mass.'. Death is preferable to the vexations, the bad
treatment, the cruelties, which we have endured for 17 days.'
" In all the villages the inhabitants are in arms: Every where
they tall on the-enemies whom they meet with. The strarefirs,
and the prisoners, deliver themselves up voluntarily to the gens
d'ahnes, whom they no longer consider as keepers, but as protector.
" General Vincent writes ',Von) Chateau Thierry en the nd, that
the enemy having attempted to levy requisitimis on the C.mmime
of Barri, Passi, anti Vinally ; the- National Guards assembled and
repalsed the enemy, after having taken and wounded severellinest:
'lke same General writes, under tine same date, that a party of Real
sian and Prussian cavalry having approached Chateau Thiesey, be
caused them to be attacked by a detachment of the third reannent
