MIPORTANT ARRIVAL FROn FRANCE,
OF THE 3D INSTANT.-REPORTED GE-
-NERAL BATTLE, AND DEFEAT OF

before we proceed to give a brief summary of
nle Intelligence contained in French Papers to
Tuesday last, the Ist, which arrived last night,

Dave to state, on the authority of persons
Ivbo left the French Coast at a late hour on 7hurs-

ti 9 Night, that a BATTLE has taken place be-
t'lreets the French, under BUONAPARTE, and the

Allied Army, in which the former, as usual, claims

the
Victory , but the French on the Coast, by way
°f Ildicule, suppose that one of those unforseen
'iteumstanees (tiOtis:fortunes) which no mortal ge-
.11413 can controul will occur to render this brilliant

Lilievement of nOn-eiTect. No longer deceived
11Y the claims of glorious victories, they look for
nothing but that the French army will he obliged

' tr'..resign its pretended triumphant attitude ; forego
14 advantages achieved by its hravery ; and re-
t►lrn to Paris as a " beaten army would return." In

llort, they scruple not to say, that BUONAPARTE has
been
-en defeated, and what tends to confirm them

in this opinion is, that -no rejoicings have taken

place, nor any symptom of satisfaction been mani-
fested by the nearest adherents of the Corsican.

Such are the important facts stated to us on

.itarigoarrT f the hest description, and
" pledge oarselves for the authenticity of the
ltrtival, its date, and the prevalence on. the oppo-

The contents of French PaperS to the Ist, to
Rhich we have already alluded, confer every de-
gree of probability on these reports. They demon-
strate, in the first instance, that since the latest ac-
"lints published from the Allied Armies, their pro-
gress had been uninterrupted, and their success ex-
traordinary. BUONAPARTE certainly remained at
I)4lriS as long as possible; for, had he staid a few days
"re, it seems 'probable that -the Parisians might
have enjoyed the presence of their Ruler to ani-
rnate thorn in their resistance to the Cossacks,
aril aid them in defence of those superb mii-
Inents of the arts (monuments of the arts of paint-
' ing, and thieving, and sculpture, and robbery),
Ivhich lutist n and disgrace their city. He, how-
left Paris to take care of itself on the 25th,
and in two days, viz. on the 27th, found himself
"gaged with the Invaders at St. Dicier, about 160
"es from the Capital—There, it is said, he
overthrew" and, in consequence of their over-
tbrcnv, took "Some prisoners" from, the Allies,
whose advanced troops, it is evident, were alone
engaged in this trivial affair which is thus mag-
. 1116 ed through the diseased optics of the Tyrant
and associates. We do not understand the
assertion, that the result of the Allies falling back
was
,the deliverance of Nancy, for even had he
been victorious, it does not appear that BUO•
lIAPARTE marched forward in that direction,
and against the corps of the army of Gene.
rat &A:Tin-A, which are pursuing their victo-
rious career t (as will be seen by the ex-
tracts from the Dutch Papers in our last page)
through the departments of Luxeniburgh, Mo-
-B.ole, Vosges, and Meurthe, in the latter of which
.1-`:alley is situated. On the contrary,.he proceeded
by Vassy on his right towards the South, in order
to form a junction with MORTIER, and endeavour
Sn bring on a battle with the Grand Army under
Vrince SCIIWARTZENBERG , in the departments of
the Upper Marne and l'Aube, the former of which
hart been entirely over-run by the enemy, and the
latter in This is proved by the mention of
an action in which MO RTIER was engaged, near Bar-
' . sur-Aube,between Joinville and Troyes, a fterwlkich
the French wounded were sent to Nugent, which
supposing to be Nogent-sur-Seine, only 25 miles
from Trou'es, we take to be the most irrefragable
!quo; that could be addutced of the discomfiture of

Abe_ Usurper,
.and the absolute necessity that ex-
isted for his hastening to the Right to assist
Mcurinß, leaving Paris and all the Northern Pro-
vinces of France open to the Armies of BLUCHER)
of WINZINGERODE, and of BuLow. To enable
VICTOR to resist the former, and to form a re-
serve for himself, MACDONALD has been called up
from Namur to Rh etel, and as AlmsoN has thrown
himself into Antwerp, the whole of the Nether-
lands are now left to the Allies, with the excep-
tion of a few of the strongest fortresses. Thus
do the affairs of the Usurper, hasten with accele-
rated speed, into utter and irretrievable ruin—
thus do the hopes of Britain and the world ripen
into the perfection of a. safe and honourable and
lasting Peace, founded upon the most glorious
achievements.

Having other and most gratifying news to com-
municate, .we shall not dwell either upon the
farce of the Address from the National Guards to
MARIA Louisa, which only shews that the popu-
lation at the extremities of France had not been
excited by the Usurper's appeals, or the false-
hoods of Mr. ST. AorsAu, which only prove by
their grossness how wise the Allies were not ti
treat on the bases of conversations.reported by the
mouth, and resting on the testimony of so infa-
mous a scoundrel.

The French funds have not risen in consequence
of the Corsican's victories ! We ought to notice
the attempts on Ligny and Bar-rur-Ornain, as ex-
amples of the extent to which the Allies had pro-
ceeded down the left bank,.hot of the Rhine, not
of the Moselle, but of the Meuse ! V,2terf,n troops
are said to be marching iu great nwnber.i from
the South ; if so, we ut..:37 soon expect to hear
front Lord WELLINGTo.:.

CAPTURE OF If-IS' AiiIrMCAN FRIGATT:,
PRESIDENT-AND REPORTED ,DATi-.1

OF CO:4:.#IODORE RODGERS.

We have great gratification in the fol-
lowing agreeable intelligence before our Readers,
by which they will see that the lucky •
Caesar of American fame has been caught at Last.
We trust there is no doubt of the fact :
" PLYMOUTH, FEB. 3.---rhe Majestic, cut down
74, is just come into the Sound, with an account
of having captured the President American frigate,
whilst off the Halifax Station, and that Com-
Modore RODGERS was killed."

• The Dutch Papers in our last page are very in-
teresting, and contain the 13th Report of the
Silesian Army, but we have no room fcr crrument.
Nancy was taken on the 14th by General SAcK.EN.
On the Lower Rhine, the enterprizing CztANI-
CHEF? has already begun to signalize hiaiselt. He
took Aix-la-Chapelle on the 16th, while VON Co-
LOMB in the Netherlands, surprised Mechlin and
Louvain ; Landau is entirely surrounded. There are
immense desertions from the enemy, and a state-
mentis given of 14;1,160 men furnished as con-
tingents against their late Oppressor by the Con-
federation of the Rhine.
In Italy, NUGENT has entered Forli.

We this day conclude our extracts from Last
India Papers.

A Letter of an old date, but curious point of
form, from the Prince of PORTUGAL to Lord
WELLINGTON, will be found in another column.

Lord MeLvit.d.r. gave a grind dinner yesterday,
at his residence in the Admiralty. . .

The Commander in Chief has directed that the
assembling the establishment of the Royal Mili-
tary College should - be• postponed from the 31st
of January to the 12th of February, and the same
has been notified by the Govei nor, Lieutenant-
General Sir A. HOPE accordingly.
We. observe that a mistake in the Genealogical
Tree of the BOURBONS has been copied from some
London Print into most of the Provincial Jour-
nals—TheDuke de BEAM iS son to MONSIEUR and ,
not to the Duke D'OitLEANs. / ' '
We have heard that the Swiss (represented in
the French Papers as uwst devoted to BUONA-
PARTE) , made it a sine qua non of their junction
with the Allies, that the restoration of the Boutt-
BONB should be promoted, and MONSIEUR allowed
to command the brave Swiss force.
A Gentleman, on a tour in America last sum-
mer, on exploring the-mountains and ledges in
the county of Oneida, found a variety of valuable
petrifactions, - consisting of sea-shell fish, &c.
' most of them were found enclosed in the softer
kind of lime rock ; some of them deep in the
lime-stone quarry. In Jefferson county, near
Socket's "'arbour, he found some still more ex-
traordinary ; among them are large species of
coral, and the weapons or tusks of several non-
descript animals, which, by the appearance. of
their teeth, &c. must Juste been very formidable,
and which, as Naturalists say, must have had
their existence previous to the Deluge.
