GERMAN SUFFERERS.

The present is a good time to recommend the
distressed Germans to the liberality of the British
nation. The efforts of German warriors, united
with those of Russia, have gone far towards pit-
-nishing the author of all the miseries of Europe ;
and, it is hoped, are at the point of rescuing the
066 for ever from his tyranny. Now, if the
sums which have been expended by Prussia and
Austria, not. to speak of lesser States, in equipping
their armies for the plains of Champagne, had been
applied to the relief of their suffering subjects at
home, these would have no occasion to look to
strangers for aid. The British poor, it is true,
are in no great affluence ; but they know nothing
of the miseries of the inhabitants of Dresden or
Leipsic, whose houses, furniture, and means of
subsistence, have been wholly destroyed. Who-

ever has seen the effects produced by a fire raging
in some of the meaner streets in London, when
the wretched inhabitants are burnt out of their
homes, and seek refuge under the naked roof of
some church, may form an idea of the extreme mi-
scry of thousands upon thousands of those desti-
tute beings for whose relief British humanity is so-
licited,

The following additional sums were voted on
the 1-oth of February, by the Committee for the
6uffevers in Germany:

The Committee for the Sufferers in Germany
feel it a duty they owe to the munificent Sub-
scribers to the _Fund for their relief, to make
public the treasures which they have adopted for
securing the application of the sums remitted to
the various puts of the Continent, agreeably to
the iutentiohs of those whose 'liberality has af-
forded the means.

TRENCH PAPERS":

.(RECEIVED LAST NIGHT.)

PARI6, FEB. 7.—Letters cif the 6th, in the morn-
ing, Were to-day.received. No event of iarport-
mice, had passed in the army the Emperor con-
tinued to enjoy the hQ:st health. The 2d division
from the army in Spain arrived to-day,in Paris,
and will to-morrow begin its march for the army
of his Majesty. Versailles and the environs of
Paris continue to fill with troops of all arms.
We have already described the vast system of
defence of the enclosure of Paris, on an extent of
more than 13,000 toises. In the interior every
hand was employed in the fabrication of arms. It
seems as if wood, iron, and steel had no 'other
Use; and the resources of industry and the se-
crets of science no other application. The Place
des Vosges is, as it was twenty years ago, convert-
ed into a manufactory for the construction of
artillery. Forges have been established under the
halls of the public markets. Other vast edifices,
which have for a time changed their destination,
are provided with every thing prOper to forte
litary hospitals. A call has made on all Gleam*
to furnish linen for bandages. Neither the means
of defence nor of succour will be wanting in case
of an attack.

PARIS, FEB. B.—The second division of the ar-
my of Spain, of which we announced the march
yesterday, arrived the day before yesterday at
Versailles ; finer troops, and better disposed, are
no where to be found ; they are eager to meet the
enemy. The army of his Majesty the Emperor
receives every day new reinforcements. All the
individuals who compose this army are animated
by the best spirit. They fight for their country in
the presence of their Sovereign. What more noble
motive can there be to inflame their courage !
When they hear the signal for battle, they recol-
lect -that their families, their friends, and all France
have their eyes upon them.
The works undertaken for the defence of Paris
are at length' completed. The intelligence and
activity employed in their execution, do much ho-
nour to the persons charged with them. The ar-
tillery is ready, as well as the harnesses, and every
thing is ready to place it in battery. The brave
pupils of the Polytechuique school have offered to
serve, and they are already sufficiently exercised.
They are establishing, at the extremities of the
bridge of Charanton, (a village a league front
Paris,) palisades, similar to those which were con-
structed at the barriers of the capital.

DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS.

13HEDA, JAN. 31.—1 n consequence of the
strength of the garrison of Antwerp and the in-
clemency of the season, .it has nut been deemed
expedient to retain possession of the village of
Mercxem, or of, the battery which the enemy
had erected on Brescaat Heath. Ou the 23d,
24th, and 25th inst. they were abandoned, but the
enemy has not yet retaken possession of them.
BREMEN, JAN. 26.—The Russian Lieutenant-
General Woronzow,' has arrived here with his
Staff, and seven thousand of his troops have al-
ready entered the city. This army consists of be-
tween forty and fifty thousand men, which will
imediately proceed southward, and enter Holland.
MANHEIM, JAN. 18.—Metz was taken by the
army of Silesia, it having been evacuated by Mar-
shal Victor the day before. All accounts state
that the Allies conduct themselves with great hu-
manity to the people of France, by whom they
are everywhere favourably received. Naardcu is
day after day more enclosed. The village of Nu-
cichem, which lies near this fortress, is taken pe
session of, and front thence the works ha v(! i,cen
commenced.
