Feti. day, being tile one
htlpointed for the -evacUation of ibis tomi, the
Dutch flag tiras, at flay-hre.ali, flying on the
kteplcs and public buildings of the fortress.

i'LB. 22.—We learn that on the 14th
the town of 'SOisSons (situared in the Former
Isle of Pratice)-Was taken by storm, after an
oli-
stinate defence. The French General Rusca, who
defended it with a corps• of 6 or 7000 men, was
killed, and General Longctiamp; many Officers of
rank; and upwards. of 3000 men, were made pri-
soners of lvar ; 13 pieces of artillery, and a'num-
her of artillery waggons, fell into the hands of the
Allies. The whole corps of General Rusca is dis-
persed and destroyed. The Cossacks are bringing
in prisoners every moment.
GOES," FEB. 6.—What we expected took place
yesterday. The English, with two. frigates, two
brig~, and tWo other Vessels carrying a gun each,
conducted by rowers, have forced the passage of
the Missengen at about eleven o'clock in the
morning, and have sailed past that town without
suffering any material damage. They had reach-
ed the town before their approach was known,
and soon girt beyond the range of the cannon.
Some pretend that they hoisted the French flag,
but that is doubtful, and -it now appears that
the passage Is not impracticable, as the French
had•supposed.
Goes, FEB.. I I .-130th the Eiiglish ships wb,;ch
.forced the passage at Flushing last Saturday, lay
• still before Berselon, and the two brigs, with the
gun-boats, adjacent to Waarden, about six. miles
from Batz. It is ascertained that the pilots are
gone to the Roompot for the purpose of bringing
four store English ships past Flushing.
AKEN (BELGIUM), FEB. 11.—Allthe country
situated over the Mitese was yesterday taken pos-
session of in the name of his Royal Highness the
Prince of Orange Nassau. In Vac's, about three
miles from hence, there was in consequence a ge-
neral illuinination,. and the Orange flag every
where displayed. -
BRUSSELS, FEB. 16.--‘The Prussian General
Von Billow has this day left this city, with the
general staff of his corps trarm6e, for the purpose
of moving to the frontiers of Old France. A great
number of troops of all descriptions have taken
the same direction.

ItoTTERDAm, FEB. 22.—According to letters
from Brussels of the 18th instant, the Saxon
troops, to the number or 6 or 7000 men, had left
that place on the same morning., and the bead-,
quarters of the Duke Of Saxe ‘Veimar hare been
removed by the way of Enghein to Ath.
ALmiiteo, FEB. js.—After a part of the corns
of hiS Serene Highness the Duke of Saxe Weimar,
and battalion of Prussian infantry, had, a few
days ago, passed through this city, his Excellency
the English General Gore arrived here two days
since, in the evening, with & battalion of Scottish
infantry, about 906 Ten strong, with music.play-
ing, and whose martial appearance'gratified every
beholder. As soon as these troops break up from
hence, we may expect the other regiment belong-
ing to this division.
bIINDERBERG, FEB. 20 —The garrison of Nnar-
den, in the night between the 18th and 19th,
kept up a heavy lire on Bussuni with bombs and
howitzers, wllich was returned in an effectual
manner. Deserters that have escaped from the
fortress assure us, that the howitzers thrown into
the town have caused much damage, whilst the
enemy's fire has done us little or no injury.
BREMEN, FEE.. 16.—We are in daily expecta-
tion of receiving intelligence concerning Ham-
burgh ; all the troops at this place are marching
in that direction, and it is supposed that the opera-
tions of the siege will be carried on in the most
effectual manner. •

COLOGNE, FE.S. 15.—0 n the Bth and 9th inst.
we saw advanced guard
.of the Crown Prince
• of Sweden's army, under the' command of Gene-
ral Worouzow anti 'l'ettenborn, enter our city,
and which, after having taken some rest, march-
ed again forwards., At six o'clock yesterday even-
ing we had the happiness of seeing his Royal
Highness the Crown Prince of Sweden within our
walls : the joy and enthusiasm with which this
Prince, who may be regarded as one of the pin-,
eipal instruments of the yestoration of the liber-
ties and peace of .Europe, is not to he described ;
the banks
..of the" Rhine, and the roads along
which the Prince, passed, were covered with
people, and the cries 'hie Charles John !"
filled the air, and almost deafened the noise of
the cannon, and the ringing of the hells. The
whole city was illuminated, alit' instantaneously.
This evening his Royal Highness gave audience
to all the public funetionaries, who were received
with- the affability which
,is so natural to him.
This evening a grand Concert and Ball will be
given, which will be honoured with the presence
of the Russian Generals and all the Chief °dicers.
The march of Russian, Swedish, and other
troops through this place, on their way to France,
continues- uninterruptedly. They write from
Luik, under date of the 13th February, that Gen.
.'Woronzow, with the advanced guard of the Swe-
dish army, had arrived there on that day.
Roma, JAN. 10.—Last night the garri,on of
this city received orders to repair,to the Castle Of
St. Angelo, a fortress situated on the banks of the
Tiber, and -which perfectly commands the place.
The Governor General Miolitzis,likewise within
the walls. One-of the conditions of the peace be-
tween the. Allies and the King of Naples is said
to be the alienatioti of the Roman provinces in his
favour. 1

At a Meeting. 'at Birmingham. on Tuesday last,
the High Bailiff, S. T. CALTON, Esq. in the
Chair, it 'was resolved, after a most konourable
discussion, in which the Rev. Messrs. SPRY, KEN-
N-EDT, BURN, and JAMES, rorticipated, to enter
into a Subscription for the relief of the saff;‘ring
Germans—upwards of 8001. was subscribed before,
the. Meeting broke up.—Mr. WILDAY, the patrio—
tic master of the floYal Hotel, at the same place,
has offercd,the use of his Assembly Room, pro-
perly lighted up, and free of expence, to the'Coni:
mittec for the relief •of the distressed Germans,
fora Ball, or any performance, in aid of the snsb.,
seriptiou.

There is a report on the French Coast, that' in

" NIAGARA. '

" Since writing tlic enclOSed, our gallant little
army has done its duty to the King and Country.
The flag that has fOi so many yeari waved in per-
fect confidence on the stone tower.of For; Niagara,
is flow, thank Gori; on its way to 'Si. Co-
lonel MuanAv's decision, judgment, and
try, were never exceeded, and success of the most
coMplete kind has been the consequence. Of
nearly 400 regularS 'Who composed the garrison of
Fort Niagara, 65 Were killed, and 15 wounded.
Not a shOt was fired on our part ; the bayonet
effected every thing ; it was; literally speaking, a
night of darkness and death. The quantitieS of
stores of all kinds found in the Fort is past -all
belief; there were in it 27 pieces of ordnance, and
plenty of ammunition. Your painting of it now,
I hopc, will become doubly interesting, and I trust
you will publish it. ; hut re7ollect, let the British
Sag appear on its towers. The recent enterprize
was principally planned by General VINCENT and
Colonel Moan fiY, and was bn the eve of being car-
vied into execution-, when the two other Generals,
DRUMMOND and 'MALL, arrived. I beg you trill
always keep this fact in mind : some little pause
has occurred in the it'nended operations of our
army on the American frontier—the fact is, the
dreadful conduct of our Allies, the Indians, makes
human nature shudder, and we forbear to afford
them a pretext to indulge their horrid propensi-
ties. The burning embers of poor Niagara loudly
call for retributive justice, and I sincerely hope
that a hicfrit will be the record of that sink of
iniquity—Buffalo."

Parliament will certainly proceed to business
on their re-assembling, on Tuesday next.
Yesterday, soon after one o'clock, the, Earl of
LIVERPOOL, accompanied by Mr. ROBINSON, went
to Carlton-house, where they bad an audience of
the'PRINCE REGENT, till near three o'clock, when
his Lordship went to the Foreign Office, to attend
a meeting of the Cabinet, whose deliberations
'continued till past five o'clock.

Yesterday die Duke of Yoiu visited the PRINCIt
REGENT at -Carlton-house.
Baron DORENI;WRGH; the new hessian Mini-
ster, was yesterday introduced to the Mike of
Yoax, as Corumander-in-Cnicf, at 'his Office in

Yesterday Colonel TORRENS, as Secretary to
the CoMmander-in-Chief, held a Military Levee.
Mr. MoBANnA, the Messenger, who came from
the Duke of CUMBERLAND, with the account of
the death of the Duke of MECKLENBURGII STRE-
LITZ, is-about to return to his Royal Highness,
with the different articles which he ordered, and
some attendants of his Royal Highness.
Letters were yesterday received from Trieste,
of the date of the 224 ult. which give reason to
suppose that Ancona has devolved into the pos.-.
session of the Allies, several vessels having arriv-
ed from that port. at Trieste,
Letters fronl Holland state, that BEAUHARNOIS
had determined to join MURAT, and abandon
IIuoNArAuTE, if the Allies agree to his terms.—
It is said, that lie proposes to have Lombardy
created into an independent government, at. the
head of Which lie shall be placed. The same let-
ters mention the commencement of hostilities be-
tween the French and Neapolitan troops ; the
latter having attacked and, taken the citadel of
Acona.

EXtract of a letter from Sir R. Hat's division,
dated ITstaritz, Nth February, 1814 :
" Yon may expect to hear news soon from us.
Our division, with Sir THOMAS PIZTON'S are to
assemble in the c-itirse of to-morrow and the next
day at Esperne, in order to proceed to St. -Palals
(on the Bidouse) and I'au (on the Grave de Pau)-,
where the enemy are understood to be in.force.—
Of our ulterior movements we know nothing.-,--
The main part of the Allied army will continue
for the present on this side the Adour."
We understand, by the most recent accounts
from Madrid, that-the public mind was consider-
ably agitated in that capital. The following let-
ter, which appeared in the Redactor General of
the Bth instant, communicates some information
on the subject :—"-As soon as the public Session
of this day, the Sth, was over, the Cortes remain-
ed sitting with closed doors, and a report was.
spread pion:, the inhabitants, that some Deputy
meant to male in that sitting, a motion for. dis-
solving the present Regency, whom the General
and Extraordinary Cortes appointed in Cadiz
with, the general applause of the nation. No
sooner was this rumour disseminated in Madrid,
than an immense concourse of pet'sons of all
classes assembled in the square del Pero.), at-
tracted by their attachment to the' Regency.—
The President of the Cortes learning. that the
people were thus collected in the street, -to
know the fate of, the- Regency of the King-
dom, gave orders, it is said, to the Comman-
dant of ;the Guards to disperse them; but that
officer, convinced of the firm determination of the
people, did not think proper to execute the or-
ders. The people broke forth into enthusiastic
shouts' of " Long live the Regents, the defenders
of the Constitution !" which were repeated with
still greater
.ardour when the secret sitting of the
Cortes broke up, and the members were senarat-
ing, together with,' exclamations of " Long live
the Deputies who defend that sacred code.!"—
After this, the people repaired to the Command-
apr of the Spanish Guards, whom they thanked
for his conduct ; and then to the Palace of the
Regency, where they renewed their acclamatious."
