PARIS, MAncir 20.—T0-dav, the 20th of March. being the anni-
versary of the birth-day of the King of Rome, his Majesty has re-
ceived the hutnage and the congratulations of the principal persons in
the empire.
To-day, at two o'clock, her Majesty the Empress took a walk on
the terrace of the ThuiNemo.

Die garrison of Pergen-op-Zoom has made a very successful sally,
and taken the Commander of the English troops besieging it.
A Freschtuan, who is come back from Dresden. where he had been
made prisoner, informs us, that he did not see a single corps in all the
parts of Germany through which lie travelled, nor yet on the banks of
the Rhine. All the enemy's reserves had j.►ined him before the late.
affairs ; thus he has not a single reinforcement to hope- for.
The fine and numerous column of new troops brought by General
Janson, which the Emperor reviewed at Rheims, was composed of
old soldiers, who are impatient to meet the ,enemy.
Accounts from Switzerland, dated at the beginning of this month,
tells us; that many cantons reject the arrangements proposed by the
Allies. There is a great fermentation in people's minds, and it is dif-
ficult to foresee when it will stop.
Die Empress of Russia is arrived at Berlin-, where she has been re-
ceived with the honours due to her rank.

The 1.111131er of Justice of the Kingdom of Italy has just published a
decree, recalling all the subjects of that kingdom, who, without the
Emperor's pertuisitior, are in the service of King of Naples. Tory
have a delay of three months from the Ist of k'ebruarv.
PARTS, MARCH TH.—Private letters announce that a corps of
French troops has entered Chalons-sur-Marne, and driven from it
the enemy, frivol whom it took many prisoners.
CHATEAU THIRRY, MARCH 17.—We this instant learn that a
corps of the French army has entered Chalons sur-Marne, after a
battle, in which we took a great number of pri,oners from the
enemy.
SOISSONS, Manor 17, in the evening.—Nothing new has taken
place to-day. The enemy is still held in check upon the Lion
road ; that of Rheims is free.
The Journal de Paris of the 19th states, that on the 15th an attack
was made On Compiegne by 300 of the enemy, who were repulsed.
f The Journal de rEmpire of the 19th, contains a Proclamation
rum Soult to his soldiers, dated Head-quarters, the Bth March ;
in it he makes no mention of his defeats up to that time; he accuses
Lord Wellington of inciting the population to sedition and revolt,
calls upon them to revenge this insult in blood, and tells them that
whether the assailants or the assailed, that till the Allied Arm).
formed of so extraordinary elements, be annihilated, or shall have
evacuated the territory of the Emperor there can be no repose for
them. _ _ _

LETTER FROM HIS EXCELLENCY DON JOSEPH LUVANDO TO HIS
EXCELLENCY THE AMBASSADOR OF HIS BRITANNIC MAJESTY.
Madrid, Jan. 10, 1814.

SlR—The Regency of the Kingdom orders me to communicate
to your Excellency every thing that has occurred since the arrival
of the Duke of Sin Carlos in Madrid, until his departure from that
capital. Your Excellency will see in this communication an une-
quivocal proof of the frankness with whirl) the Government has
acted in this affair, and id the declarations made to the said
Duke • yon will also see therein a proof still more distinguished of
the fidelity of the Government to those principles which it has
recognised,--not choosing even to enter into explanations, however
flattering they might be, without the intervention and concurrenec
of the British Cabinet, as well as of those other Cabinets which
having engaged in this war, are guided by the same principles of
honour to defend a cause as just as it is sacred.
The Duke cf San Carlos arrived at Aranjuez in the night of the
4th instant, and being presented to the Reeency, he delivered to
them a letter from the King of Spain, Don rerdinand VII., dated
Valencay, in which, after inention;ng the good state of health, and
of that of his dear brother and his node, the infints Don Carlos and
Don Antonio, who were with him ; and manifesting, that he was
acquainted and satisfied with the sacrifice% which the nation had
made for his Royal Person,—with the brave unalterable constancy
of his faithful subjects. the persevering assistance of England, the
admirable conduct of her Genera!-in Chief, Lord Wellington, and
of the Spanish Generals who bad distingui,shtd thewselves,—Lis

Majesty declared, that he hael been spontaneously Dgvited by the
Emperor Napoleon, through the medium of his Ambassador The
Count de Latorest to adjust a treaty of peace upon propositioos
founded on the restoration of his Royal Person ; the ii.tegritv a;.(1
indepepdance of the Spanish States; and exempt from every elaase
stoconformable to the honour, the dignity, and imerest of foe
Spanish nation ; In consequence of which, his Majesty had audio_
rise(' the Duke of San Cat los to treat in the name of his alaj,,,tv,
about an object so important, with Count Latiirest, the Phalip,.i,n_
tiary named by Napoleon to that effect ; awl that this treaty beit.4,
happily concluded, he had sent it to the Regency by the said Mike,
in order that the ratifications might be di awn up in due form.
Your Excellency will see this treaty in the copy sidijained.
The Regency, without vacillating, enterieg into any exp?ltlati!)n
or analysis of the treaty, solely lookin7 to the decree of the Gi ne-
r.,l and Extraordinary Cortes of the Ist of January, 181 1, Sri air
ordains that no agreement, treaty, or even form of truee, shai! be
entered into with France, until his Majesty is at perfect Ofe•ily ;
fluenced also by the treaty with Great Britain!, of which ore of t'.e
articles prescribes that there shall not be peace wit'. Fr mee,
out the intervention of that power, cm:lined tisems,4yes to trr;
as their only reply to the poke of San Carlos, a he: ter fOr hip Alaa
jesty, to which the above-named decree was inserted, and iris 73;a-
-jesty was informed, that it was imp,,s;ible to iatily sucli treaty'
which besides was enti; ely null in all IN parts.
Notwithstanding that this transaction wa= complet,ly terminated
in the above rummer, the Regency have thoo"'aht it tlo it dot. to
communicate the same to the re Cabit of iheeir Mlle-, thus prta-oe„;
the rectitude of their priticiples. It is in pursinwee of Own eo dela
therefore. that I have the honour to beg your FAcelh- cv t., t:
mit dips document for the information of hi:. R,y al I liLlinras the
Prince Regent of Great Britain: The II( grney o ly i.i this
new step of Napoleon, the diHgraretul necessity in who h i„o4
seen himself placed, of recanting the vela, priociides %%vie!: be
proclaimed with so much arregaw.e. The Eegeoey, tit: ther ;eel
themselves compelled to devote th-ir cares to ti:e co:Wit:II wee of
the war, deeply convinced that its result inwit be ff.r!imate, a al
encouraged by thefidea afire diifieult sit ottani of France. a :aothee,l
by propositions and nteaiores so contrary to the lowelity eliarheN
of her Chief. The Regency flatter themselves, in shout, that
Britain, animated by the same sentiments, will feel convinced of
the necessity of continuing the same etf its, till tho.Chict who
governs France shall be reduced to an incapin ity of again di4tnrh-
lag the tranquillity of Europe, so many years the victim of his in-
satiable ambition.

I have the honour to be, &e.
