same nature.

The army was to Irave bivouacked on the 25th
at Fere Chainpcnoisc.
It appears the corps of Marshal Alarmont and
Monier, who had been retiring from before Mar.-
shal Blucher,- were moving down towards 'kitty,
to connect themselves with BuonAparte•s opera-
tions, ignorant of his intentions, which may not
have been fully formed until he found himself too
far committed : these corps of his army were in4:ch

perplexed on finding themsel►es close to Prince
Schwartzenberg's artily, ►vhen they expected to

meet theirown.

It is a singular but a curious fact, that Mar-
shal Marmont's advance was within a very short
distance on the night of the 24th to Vitry, without
the enemy's knowing it twas in the occupation of
the Allies.,
On the morning of the 25th, the sixth corps,
under General Henske, fell in with their advance,
drove them back to Connantray and through Fere
Champenoise in the former place a large number
of caissons, waggons, and baggage, were taken.
In the mean time, on the left, the Russian cavalry
of the rvserves, under the Grand Duke Constan-
tine, was equally successful, charging the CHM v,
taking 18 cannon, and many prisoners. But the
principal brilliant movement of this day occurred
after the Allied troops in advance had passed
through Champenoise ; a detached colmunn of
(.1! C eurttry, of five thousand men; under time
command of General Ames, had been making
its way, under the protection of Marmont's corps,
from the ncighhou rh • mi of ,Montmivail, to ipin
Napoleon with his grand arms'. This corps had
in charge ahirumense convoy with 100,000 rations
of bread, and ttnununition ~a;td was of great import-
ance, by the force attached to it. It had left Park
to proceed to Buonaparte, ai!d the cavalry of
Marshal Blucher's army were the first to discover
and observe this corps on their march frosa
lons. Aid•-de-Catnp,' Captain Harris, was
fortunate enough, looking out with sou:Cossacks,
to give the first intelligence to Mtrrshal Blucher of

their position.
The cavalry of Generals Kort and Basitschikoff
Corps were immediately detached after them, and
they were driven upon Fere Champenoise, as the
cavalry of the grand army was advancing.
attacks of the cavalry were made on this corps,
who formed themselves in squares, and, it is but
jpstice to say, defended themselves in the most
gallant Manner, although they were young troops,
and gardes nationales ; when they were completely
surrounded by the cavalry of both armies, some
officers were sent to demand their surrender, but
they still kept marching on and firing, and did not
lay down their arms ; a battery of Russian artil-•
lery opened upon them, and renewed charges of
cavalry completed their destruction ; and Generals
Amos and Pathod, Generals of Division, five Bri-
gadiers, 5000 prisoners and 12 cannon, with the
convoy, fell into our bands ; ATarmont and Mor-
tices, rear-guards seeth to have drawn off in the
direction of Seaanne, and it is difficult to say whe-
ther they will heable to effect their escape. Every
disposition is making to harass and surround them;
but themoment is so eventful, and every intelligence

FROCLAMATIO:st OF MARSHAL PRINCE SCIIWARTZEN•
BERG TO THE INHABITANTS OF PARIS.
Inhabitants of Paris !--The Allied Armies are
before Paris. The object of their march towards
the Capital of France is founded on the here
of
sincere and lasting reconefliation with France.
'rue attempts made to'put an end to so many mis-
fortunes have hcen useless; because there exists,
in the very power of the Government which op-
presses You, MI insurmountable obstacle to peace.
What Frenchman i 3 there who is not convinced

of this truth
The Allied Sovereigns seek, in good faith, a
;salutary authority in France, which may ceinent the
union Of all Nations and of all Govermnents with
her ; it is to the city of Paris that it hits
under the present circumstances, to accelerate the
praCcqf the world. The wish of this city is looked
for with that interest which a result of such
int-
Turtancc must inspire. Let her declare herself,
and tram that moult at -the army before her walls
becomes the support of her decisions.
Parisians, you know the situation of your coun-
try, the conduct of Bourdeaux, the friendly occu-
pation of Lyons, the evils brought upon France,
and the real dispositions of your fellow-citizens.
You will find in these examples the termination
of foreign %var and of civil discord ; you cannot
search it elsewhere.
The preservation and tranquillity of your city
will be the ohject of the cares and measures
the Allies are ready to take, in conjutiction with
the A uthorities and the Notables, who rckseßs the
largest share of public estimation.. No troops
shall be quartered upon you. •
Lii these sentiments, Europe in arms before
your wails, addresses you. Hasten to reply to
.the confidence which she places in your love fur
the country, and in your discretion.
The Commander in Chief of Ge Allied Arrnieg,
Marshal Prince of Sell WARTZENBERG.

Lotto,—l seize an opportunity which offers
at this instant, to transmit to you an account of I
the successes of this day.
After the affair of Fere Chainnenoise, the tie-
tails of which I had the honour of giving to your
Lordship in my last dispatch, the united Army of
Prince Schwartzenberg and Marshal Blucher
passed the 'Manic on the 28th and 29th, at Tri-
port and Meaux.
The enemy opposed a feeble resistance to Ow
passage of the river ; but on the 28th, in the
evening, General D'Yorck was severely engaged.
near Clove ; he drove the enemy, however, at last
flow .the woods about that place. with very consi-
Acrableloss.
Yesterday the whole army (with the exception
of the corps of Marshal Wrede'and Gen. Sicken,
which were left in position at Meaux) advanced
upon Paris. Continual skirmishing took place
whit the enemy; hilt he retired, giving up Pantin -
on his right, and the ground in front of Mont-
martre an his left.
It appeats, that during last night the corps of
Marshals Mortier and Marmont entered Paris.—
The garrison,'which previously was assembled in
it, was composed of a part of Gen. Gerard's corps
tinder Gen. Compans, and a force of about eight
thousand regular troops. and thirty thousand na-
Ititnal guards, under Gen. Unlit', the, Governor
of the town.
With this force, the enemy, under the com-
mand of:Joseph Buonaparte, took up a position
this morning, the right on the height of Belle-
ville occupying that town, tile centre on the canal
Dc l'Ourque, the left towards Neuilly.
This position was strong, from the intersected
nature of the ground on its tight. The heights
of Montmartre commanded the plain in rear of
the canal of L'Ourque, and added strength to the
position of the enemy.
The disposition of attack for this morning was,
the Prince Royal of Wirtemberg, forming the
left, marched upon Vincennes ; General lteitlsky
upon Belleville ; the guards and reserves upon the
greatchaose leading from Bandy to Paris
Marshal Blucher was to march upon the chauss6es
from Soissons, and attack Montmartre.
All the attacks succeeded ; General Iteiffsky
possessed himself of the heights of Belleville ;
the troops under his orders particularly distin-
guished m
ished them in the different attacks made
'by them.
The village of Pontin was carried at the point
• .of the bayonet ; the heights above Belleville were
carried in the most gallant manner by the Prus-
sian guards—these corps captured 43 pieces of
cannon, and todk, a greatnumberof prisoners;
Nearly at the time these successes' had been
obtained, Marshal Blucher ,commenced his attack
upon Montmartre. The regiment of Prussian
black hussars made a must brilliant charge upon
a column of the enemy, and took 20. pieces of

cannon.
At the moment of these decisive advantage-s, a
flag of truce was sent from Marshal Marmont, tin-
tirnating a desire to receive any propositions that
it might have been intended toytaaketo• him by a
flag. of truce which had previously beed refused 4'111!
mittance. 'An armistice Vvas all4.proposed by him
for two hours, to obtain which, the consented $o
ahaadon every position he occupied without tote
barrievs of Paris. _ _

Heights of Tlvfleville, March 30, 1 Sl.l.
Lonn,—After a brilliant victory, God nas
placed the Capital of the French Empire in the hands
of the Allied Sovereign., a just retribution for the
miseries inflicted on Alo:,icow, Vicuna, Madrid,
Berlin, and Lisbon, by the De.iolator of Europe.
I must very imperfectly detail the events of this
glorious day at such a moment as the present, a ad
therefore throw myself on your Lurdshie's Maul-

genee.
The enemy's army, unrier the command of
Joseph Buonapartc, aided by Marshals Murder
and Marmont, occupied with their right the
heights of Fontcnov, Itowaineille, and Belleville
their left vas On M'nutul,atre, and they had sere-

ral redoubts in the centre, :turf ou the Whole line

an immense artillery of übove one htuidred aud

fifty pieces.
In order to attack this position, the Silesian
army was directed :\loattnartre., Si. Denis, and
the village of La Valette. and Pantin, while the
grand army attacked the enemy's right on the
heights before alluded to at Romainville and Belle-
ville. Marshal Blucher made his own dispositions
for his attack.
The Gilt corps, under General ReifFsky, moved
front Bondy in three columns of attack, supported
by thc guards and reserves, and leaving the great
route of Meaux, attacked the heights of Romain-
silk and Belleville. These are. very commanding,
as well as Montmartre, the ground between being
covered with villages and country seats, and the
possession of them commands Paris and the whole
country round. Prince Eugere of ,Wirtemberg's
divisions of the Gat corps commenced the attack,
and with the greatest spirit endured for a long
period a very galling fire of artillery, being sup-
ported by the reserves of grenadiepo ; his Serene
Highness, after some loss, tarried the heights of
Romainville, the enemy retiring to those of Belk-
vine behind them. The •Ith corps supported this
attack more to the left, and was directed on. the
heights of Rosily, and on Charenton, by their
gallant Commander the Prince Royal of Willem-
berg. The 3d corps of the army was placed in
echelon near Nettilly in reserve, as well as the
cavalry.
The attack of the grand army ha‘l C0111:11cuced
srs,rap tiina. before that of the Siksi,o,. de,
hived by b+it. it vrix.a tiQt. baOre
(;metals D'Yorek and Kleist dehuached near St.
Denis on Anbeville, and here and at Pmitin a very
obstinate resistance was made. Ills Royal High-
ness Prince William of Prussia, with his brigade,
together with the Prussian guards, were mach
distinguished. The enemy's cavalry attempted to
charge, but were brilliantly repulsed by the Bran-.
denhmgh and black hass.:r regiments. A strong
redoubt and battery of the enemy'i in the centre
kept General D'Vorek's corps in check for some
part of the day, but their right fian'h being gained
by the heights of Romainville, 'as well as their
loss in every part of the field, and finally, the
complete discomfiture on all sides, reduced them
to the necessity of sending a flag of truce to-de-
mand a cessation of tostiliti-es, they giviag up all
the ground without the Barrier of Paris, until
farther
.arrangements could be made.
The heights of Montmartre were to be placed,
by the generosity of a beaten enemy; in otq pos-
session (Romainville and Bellville), being carried
at the moment when Count Lanr,..,eron's corps was
about to storm them, and had already taken pos-
session of the rest of the hill.
' Count Woronzow's division also carried the
village of La Villette, charging with two batta-
lions of chasseurs, and possessing themselves of
twelve pieces of cannon, were also stopped near
the barrier of Paris by the flag at truce.
However, hi; Imperial Majesty, the King of
Prussia, and Prince Schwartzenberg, with that
humanity which must excite the applause, while it
calls for the admiration of Europe, acceded to en-
tertaining a proposition to prevent the capital
from being sacked and destroyed. Count Par,
Aid-de-Camp to the Prince Field-Marshal, and
Colonel Orloff, Aided.e-Canip to his Majesty the
Emperor, were sent to arrange the cessation of
hostilities ; and Count Ness elrocie , his Imperial
Majesty's Minister, went in at four o'clock this
evening, when the battle ceased, to Paris.
The.result of this victory cannot yet be known;
numerous pieces of artillery taken in the field, and
a large number of prisoners have fallen into our
hands. ,The number of guns in the margin * are
already reported.
Our loss has been something considerable ; but
we may hare the consoling hope, that the brave
men %dui fell will accomplish the work of the
downfall of despotism, and rear the standard of
renovated Europe under a just equilibrium, and
the dominion of its legitimate Sovereigns.
I take the liberty of sending my Aide-de-Camp,
Capt.' HarriS, with this dispatch, being with me
during the day ; lie .will nuke .way, I hope,
with the • Cossacks,
_whom Lieutenant-General
Count Werortzow has given him, ..and will- ac-
4naint your riordship,-verbally; With details I can
