DORORBeIIT, -SAN. 7.--'l*estprday morning two
"li'ibre gum:boats sailed up from' this town ; the
flotilla boom Gorcum is therefore in all sixteen
guire boats. At mid-day also passed through h :re
a vestel ledenwith shells and cannon balls for the'
'battery, but up to,this moment the bombardment
-of the fortress has not been commenced, Yes-
terday morning the enemy fired a shot at our.
'flotilla, and the Comminder gave orders, tq five
gun-boats to answer it, and it was don't!' 'with
such success, that the enemy was quickly sileneed.
General 13alow, as we heat, has received orders
to match with his whole force towardsl3tabant,
to assist in the great operation on Cie Rhine.
The force, exclusive of the divgieM•:4'Russian
troops under Generals.Benkendorf 4fidtOrs,tel,, is
at from 40 to 40,060 then. The...0144t
,seems to
be, to drive away:the French, which treiioSteil

self. This clay General Benkendorf was expected
to fix his head-quarters in person at Breda.
Tutet., Sax. 8.---The French garrison atnine-
guen has retreated to Grave, where it atl)resent
remains. The retreat Was occasioned by the pas-
sage of the Rhine by General Butcher. IVe beard
that there had seen an engagement between the
Allies and. a body of French troops, commanded
by the Duke of Tarentum, but no confirmation
of the intelligence has been received, and we be-
lieve it not to be true.
NimEGUEN, JaN.B.—Every thing here is quiet,
From time to time Russian troops, both cavalry
and infantry, pass over the Waal to pros, eal fur-
ther into the interior. Kleef is also ity:the pos-
session of the Allies; and we understand that they.
are approaching Grave upon the Macse.
TILBURG, JAN, B.—At about twelve o'clock at
noon yesterday, we received information of the
approach of the French, whose advanced posts were
actually/hen at Goirie, only three English miles
from here. Our brave garriSon immediately put
itself in motion, and on this occasion we must
give great praise to the Prussian troops, under
the command of Captain Von Schartuzow, who
(not expecting, any enemy), immediately caused
the alarm to be given, and with unusual ce-
lerity collected together his troops, consisting of
seventy men, and flew out to meet the enemy.—
The Cossacks, likewise, mounted immediately,
,and followed their companions in arms. Mean-
while the Prussians had already driVev the French
adva.zeed posts out ut Goirie, and found the French
corps consisting of 600 infantry and 300 cavalry
drawn up behind Weide, in order of battle, when

It again came to an engagement, and the Prussians
retired in good order, and without the loss of a man,
towardi Poppet, where the officers, conformably to
the orders of the Commandingoficer, had taken
post, to decoytb e enemy into the plain. Immediately
a general hurrah !. was heard, and in a moment a
general engagement rook plate the French 11"4..
valry, .Conststmg ot x lagers of the (31111T0ii, soon
fell into confusion, and every one that could 'not.
escape by fligLt was sabred" They were even
pursued beyond Ravels, within two English miles
of Turnhout, leaving a number of tilled and
wounded on the field. Th.e enemy's aim was to
push as far as Tilburg, destroy the magazines
there, and possibly to plunder the town, but
which was prevented by the laudable conduct
of the trOops. The force of the Allied troops
consisted of seventy prussians of the Pomera-
nian national regiment, four hundred Cossacks,
whilst that of the. French was', as already stated,
composed of 600 intantry and 300 _cavalry. At
eight o'clock' in the evening the Allie.d.T.toops
turned back in, triumph, bringing with them 92
fine horses which they had taken, and several pH-.
Sutlers, many of them having escaped into the
the woods. The loss of the Allies is very trifling
compared with that of the eneiny ; it consisting of
only five cossacks killed and 16 wounded ; and the
Prussians, althoUgh they covered theinselves with
glory, did not lose a single horse or man; and had
only one wounded. The enemy's loss was 160
wounded, and prisoners.
Marshal Von BLUCHER issued the following
Proclaueitions. to his troops and the inhabitants
of the left bank. of the Rhine, On passing that
river :

" FIELD-MAR 3.11 AL VON BLUCHER TO TAB ARMY

OF SILESIA.

" In advancing from the Oiler to the Rhine,
you lead
sto rescue from the enemy the countries
which he had subjugated. You are now about to
pass the. Rhine to compel to peace that enemy,
whom nothing can console for having lost, in two
campaigns, those conquests which cost king 19
years to acquire.
" Sol:liers.!—To the conquerors of the Katz-
bacb ,-of ‘Verteulbert.-r„ of Mockern, and of Leipzig,
it is only ►accessary for me to point out the troad
tb fa:ne, and -1 an' sure- of a happy result. - But I
have new duties to prescribe to you. The inha-
bitants of the left banlcof the Rhine are not your
enemies. I have promised them in your name
protection for their persons, and security for their
property ; and what Y have promised it is your
duty to fulfil. Courage conducts the soldier to
honour, but obedience and a strict discipline are.
hic best claims to .fame,

" VON BLUCHER."

TO THE INHABITANTS OF THE LEFT BANK OF

THE RHINE.

"To restore the freedom and independence of
tations, and to conquer peace, I have
,conducted
the army of Silesia to, the left bank of the Rhine.
Tlle Emperor Napoleon had included Holland, a
part of Germany and of Italy, within the bounda-
ries of the French empire, and he has declared,
that though his enemy should occupy the heights
of Paris he would not 3ede one 1-illage of his con-
quests.

LONDON,
MONDAY, JANUARY 17, 1814.

The Supplement to the Gazette of Saturday, and
the general details of- those gratifying events
which were briefly communicated to the public
in-. a Bulletin frbut the War-Office, contained in
the Second Eilition of THE SUN of that day, and
now re-published in a preceding column, will be
perused with uncominon satisfaction by our
Readers. Front the Source of the, Rhine to the
shore where it flows into the Ocean, the tri-
umphant banners of the Allied Armies float, and,
with the exception of a few insulated posts, the
encniY, whose gigantic might so lately held Eat-ape
iu uunuage, noes not now to of terri-
tory out of France. Nor is this all; even France
itself has ceased to be the sacred territory it
has been so vainly called. The movement of' the
Allies•has been stupendously grand. From Rhem-.
felden above Basle, to the Mouths of the Meuse,
the Waal, and the Yssel ; the Austrian, Rt.ssian,
Prussian, Swedish, and other confederated StateS,
have poured into France. -From-the higher point
at which the Rhine has been crossed, the line' of
the Allies has been extended still further along
the South East Frontiers of France by the Revo-
ltition in Geneva, and the, adVantage taken of
this important event to, push forward and take
possession of the Passes of the St. Gothard,'
&c. We are told that detachments 'have
been pushed even so far as Milan, thus, as, it
were, almost cutting off Italy from France, and
restoring hopes of independence to Savoy and
Piedmont. In this quarter, too, the NVIIOI6.
partment of the Doubs has been overrun, and Be-
sancon, the former 'capital of Franche Comptg,
invested. If, on the other hand, we -follow the
course of the Rhine down from Basle, we find that
another corps of the Grand Army, which crossed
there, had proceeded northward to Colmar, be-
sieging nuningen-and Befort, and pushing an ad-
vanced guard to Vesoul, in the department of
the Upper Saone, the , half 'of which is also
covered by the invaders. A detachment of
Cossacks from the same bead-quarters have been
otderal trasnake an incursion exert , so. far as Re-
niremant, •Langrea, and Epinal, thus recon-.
nottring and living upon the Departments of the
Vosges and the Marne. Below these operations',
General WITGENSTEIN passed the Rhine at Fort
Louis, below Strasburgh, and pushed forward to
Saverne, in the Department of the Lower Rhine,
connecting pis operations with the main force on
his left, through the corps of General %Vat:DE, at
Sehlestat, between Colmar and Strasburg, and
communicating on his right with that part of the
force of General BLUCHER, which had crossed at
Oppenheim. Still lower down the other divisions
of the veteran BL-ocn ER'S Army, transported th ern-
selves to the left bank of the-River, and Possessed
themselves of considerable territory between, the
Moselle and Rhine. These parts of this splendid
,achievement,as we dilated upon them in our last ptib-
.
lication, it is unnecessary here to repeat, suffice.
