LEAU."

To this we have to add the information con-
tained in Dutch Papers received this morning.—
These affirm, that AUGEREAU had been again de-
feated by BIANCHI, subsequent to the deteat at
MAcoNT ; that the Corps of MA RMONT nud MOR-
TIER, left to protect Paris from 13LtronEn,. were,
nearly surrounded ; that the Head-quarters Of
the Prussian Veteran were, previous to the 23d,
at Fismes (half-way between„Pxheims and Sols,-
sons), and that the latter place was heavily bom-
barded by General Boum,. It is evident. from
I.3l.uonEa's movement, that Paris was his object
and even supposing the 20,900 men reviewed by
JOSEPH to }ive marches; to the North, instead of
the main army, we see no reason for ‘vithliolding
our belief front the rumour of the approach to, if
dot the actual capture of, the Capital by the int-
sistibbs artuy of Silesia.

A report is indeed strongly prevalent this (12,4
that Itit.ucust had reached the gates of Paris on
the 2.4 th uk.; that KiIIgJOSEPII, with his Sister-
in.Law dot Empress, and the King of ROME,
had in consequence hastily removed to Rain-
bouillet. SOSJOH, hOWevei, had previously ad-
dressed a bodTbf the people, earnestly exhorting
them to defend the Capital, air', assuring thew
that, if they did so, the limperor would Stion re-
turn and support6ern

The rcikkt.of the defeat of Buot4APARTE on the
25th also continues to gain ground. A defeat,
which, if it is confamed, must, iu his present pe-
rilous circumstances be conclusive of his career.
God• Almighty grant it may !
There seems to have been a very general and
successful plan of offensive operations commenced
against the Enemy in Italy by MURAT and Gen.
BELLEGARDE. BO ONAYARTsE cannot protect the
heart,.—the extremities must fall.

The notice of the ;a-airs of Flanders in. these

Papers is very ccinfused—Gen. MALSON bud no
sucli ccirce 2S is MClltiolled.

. .
An Evening Paper state, (.fe know not on
‘7l)ot authOriii,r) that, in return to the Ultimatum
or the AMU, BUO;sTAPARTE sent a counter-projet,
in which he veqUired them to give up n(..t only, all
that they had conquer(' in Alsace, Lorraine,
Chanipagne, Picardy, Franche Comte, and Our-
gundy but the whole territory from the frontiers
of France to the Waal, inclUding the fortress of Ni-
meguen on that river: they were to restore theVene-
Sian territory to EUGENE BEALWARNOTS, and make
bins King of Italy : and lastly., they were to find in-
dethnities for JosEmes kingdom of Spain, 3E•
ititmes kingdom of Westphalia, young Louis's
Grand Dukedom of. Berg, and EUGENE'S contin-
gent succession to the Grand Duchy of 'Frank-
for‘t. , Till we have official documents, instead of
conjectures, to go upon, we shall refrain from
entering into the discussion of this important sub-
ject. Ministers do not give to Newspapers what
they think it right \to .withhold from Parliament.

In the House of Counnons, last ,right, Mr.
PONSONIBY seemed-, desirous of sliming that he
was at the head of the Opposition. His arguMent
appears to us to be the most unreasonable and
unsustained of any we ever heard iu that House.
Would he wish our Cabinet to act without
the. Allies ? Surely, whe•'e there is su grati-
fying •a concurrence of s•entisnent, there may
be allowed a few days frothcuriosity for a con-
currence of measures ; and the British public, and
the rest of Europe, may be simultaneously put in
pOssession of the information, alike
in-
teresting to all.
