LETTERS FROM PARIS.---GLOO7II- AND

'lle following is from high authority abroad :
The posture of affairs on the Continent is as
sg"(1 as could he expected, and promises ultimate
:ccess• The Allies have suffered themselves to
tit subordinate matters disturbed, but they are
Proceeding' in a steady course, which is confidently
: l'ecred to terminate in success. It is supposed,
fiat Lz6oNApArrz will not accede to thc propo-
s:118 of the Allies, and it is confidently hoped,
t
'at in consequeilce the French will put him down.

°n the 28th of last month (as may be seen by
,leretice to the Six) we stated, that we had
reason to believe that the BouftpoN Standard

liras France."—How well founded we were in
partly satisfied

satisfied by the recent events at Vesaul.—

order for the instant Shipment 'of 100,000

Transports, and every species of Vessel that
be speedily chartered.. Again we say, " GOD
llced the Good Cause !"

I"renela Papers to the Bth reached Town last
night, and Moniteurs of the 7th refute, at least
l) to that date, the rumour circulated in the City
Yesterday, that in a commotion which had taken
dace in Paris, the 'materiel of this Organ of the
l'yrant and fountain of delusion had been destroy-
ell‘, by the populace. Neither do these Papers
(44% any confirmation of the reported defection
'v+ee (IMtEAT.I, though, as this Marshal and Gal-
Ysl 4. '

I:,antage from the change, he may also desert his
'resent Master in his utmost need.
1. Still, however, the news from France is good.
"rrnborates the letter from an Officer with the
ruPer°l* of RUz.SI.I, given in TUE SUN On Nired-
-esd"Y, which stated that every thing was as pros-
title
'l.°lls as the friends of social order and lawful
COuld desire. In addition to the. French Pa-
rs, which are marvellously silent upon some
I:4ollam:topics, under existing eircumstances,we
p 4v.e great pleasure in being able to infqrtu our
leiders, from a private Cwnnzunication from Pa-
-1.14 re.ceiced this day, that in that City the
Tool
tiest apprehensions prevail. All tl:e reports
c4eulatioti are of the most disastrous nature,
the pressure of want of every ties crip-
provisions, fuel, &c. begins to be se-
tie:" and generally felt. By the tools of
.fyrnt,a report Was spread that he had, On the
: a
' between Rheims and Soissons, attacked BLit-
tej 1"a and defeated him, but the result of this en-
arc uze being stated with the same particulars as
io ascribed to the actions of Lusy and May, viz.
,Q° killed, &c. and 600 waggons, we are
inclin-
to believe that no new battle had been fought
dt nte date mentioned.
t,\Ve are also asgured tba: Prlace Settia.-ARTZEN-
:I4I, takings advantage of the absence of BuoNA-
alt/z, with the considerable force which he
,1444"eted against
_BLUCHER Oa" the Marne,
all again. MARCHED on Piats, passin'-7
:etly thrQuiliz Troyer, and it was eunritlentlY
tilitkiPated, that if BLucu E could amuse
lc
Corsican' only a few days longer, the main
it,"ed Army would force it, way to the Sacred
,:t!Y We are not, therefore, surprised to hear
t‘42 despondency which prevails in Paris,
Where

" The cry is still—they comer
(ossacks have, in fact, sliewn themselves in
4411"5t every direction around the Capital. We
Itt'w nuder,tand, fro good authority, that they
ll4ve not .Only appeared in the neighbourhood of
Lthkirk, hut are moving- all along the Coast in
search nf adventures.
Among the other report's which we have to
Ilutice from thi4 source, °Lie eerttinly mot the

feast ii 'point of irnpOrtanee, is tfiat a great pro
portion of the French Army have laid drown their
arms. No place or date are assigned to this state-
ment, but as it has obtained very genera difilsinn,
and is repeated with much :confidence, we are
willing to believe that it must have arisen frout
some event, perhaps not quite so extensive, With
which we ate as yet only thus indistinctly ac-
quainted. .

Having laid before our Readers the substance
of these interesting Private Letters, for which we
are indebted to a very able and intelligent Friend,
we shall return to the contents of the Ft ench Pa-
pers. From these it appears, that the Manoeuvre
of Marshal Pusri o!,l bad been crowned with the
most complete success. On the sth, BUONAPARTE
having crossed to the right of the Marne, after a
long and harassing march from Troyes, had his
head-quarters at Bery-le-bac, on the road be-
tween Rheims and Lion, and also - (probably
on the morning of that day) at Fismes, which
is on the road from Rheims to Soissons, and
a few miles south from Bery-le-bac. In this
direction he states 'the unted corps of the Allies
under BLUCHER, SACILEN, YORCK, \VINZINGE-
RODE, and BuLow, to be retreating—a retreat
that will not alarm any person in this Country, as
it was foreseen that the plan of the Campaign
would dictate this very movement. But what
must the people of France think of the resuscita-
tion of the three first mentioned of these corps
which they were assured had been so utterly ex-
tinguished by the middle of last Month ? But for
the treason of the Commandant of Soissons (there
is always some accident happening to the Corsican)
this Army would once more " have been lost."—
This Commandant it seemed opened the gates to
the flying Allies, and most contumaciously shut
them iu the face of the pursuing Emperor. Why
did not the latter force them as WINZINGE-
RUBE did before ? The reason is obvions-lie
was incompetent to the measure, and the whole
story about treason and treachery, is a flimsy fa-
brication to gloss over his failure.

it is gratifying to remark (however we are as-
sured by the Chronicle and other weak or wicked
Journals of the inviolable attachment of the
French to BUONAPARTE), that the Tyrant himself
is not so well satisfied with their devotion to his 1
cause. Not a bulletin does he now issue without
some complaint or accusation against his own fol-
lowers for not fulfiling the expectations formed by
his fiery and impatient spirit. Nay,, his indigna-
tion rages as fiercely against his own sub-
jects and functionaries as against the Cos-
sacks. bike the Crookbacked Despot, be
would have darkness the burier of the dead, and
the apathy with which he treats France must
hasten his downfal, by increasing the odium with
which the people now view their curse, and
the curse of the human race. The two Decrees
from Fisnies are remarkable instances of this
destroying disposition. In the first he invites the
country people to take up arms and attack the
Allied. Soldiers, declaring that he will make re-
prizals on his prisoners for every French citizen
punished for this insurrection : in the second") e p ro-
Claims all Mayors, &c. traitors who do encourage
this species of resistance. To what do:hese decrees
tend ? to the depopUlation of France by the in-
discriminate slaughter of the whole people. But
what cares the Usurper for the Country or the
People ! He knows and feels that they have no
interest in him. We will not go itito the poli-
tical question of the usage of war ; but this we
will say, that in all countries which the fero-
cious Tyrant has invaded, he has punished the
rising of the people, (that very rising which in his
desperation and fury, he now evokes in France)
with death. It was for this offence that he but-
chered thousands in Italy—for this he assassinat-
ed IloFFr.a, and massacred the peasantry of the
Tyrol—for this he condemned to military trial,
and caused to be shot multitudes of Spanish
Guerillas—for this he executed at one time
300 Citizens of Rui,sia, who were performing the
order of ROSTOFCHIN their legal head—and yet
the murderous and bloody Slave would give up the
people of that land (unhappily subjected to him),
inevitahle and horrid slaughter, by inciting them
to that act which must bring ruin upon their pro-
perty, and death upon themselves.

The occupation of Rheims by General Coast-
NBAU, on the sth, the old defeat at Lusy, and
,a
new defeat at May (which is about six miles from
Lusy, as Lusy is about G or 8 from Meaux) with
a loss to the Allies of 4000 men and 600 waggons,
8:c. arc the only other military matters stated in
this Report. They are undeserving of serious
consideration. Letters froto AUGER AU, at Lons
Sasluier to the 2d mention the taking of An-
necy, and the approach of the advance from Lyons
towards Geneva. COllla BUBNA, reinfor‘ced by
General BIANCUI,, will have a corps of 30,000,

to AtfciriiAi.T's vs'e
trust; speedily restore affairs in this quarter:

We have made further e.xtraatt from hutch
Papers. We rejoice to beat that the CROWA-
PRINCk was at Leige on the 27th as he li'ad push=
ed forward his divisions it is likely that BLUCHER
Would be so much strengthened by the COI or
as to be able to meet the Tyrant single-
handed. Ten thousand Men under WALmorykx
Massed through Bremen on the 28th February and
Ist instant. General GRAHAM with the British,
had broke up to re-approach Antwerp. Head-
quarters Cahnhout.

The commencement of operations against Bay-
onne is again stated to-day, on the authority of
an Officer who left the Army on the 24th. A bat-
tery of heavy artillery had been constructed for
this purpose, and it was supposed that a sensible
impression would. be soon made upon the works.
The siege was 'principally entrusted to Major-
General DOWINTIE, Who commanded a Spanish Di-
tision of considerable numerical strength.

We have beard that the whole of the American
Flotilla on Lake Erie has been destroyed by the
British land forces.

The Chronicle of to-day gives the following as
a Postscript to Count D'EicAa's letters. If cor-
reet (which we suppose it is), all parties. con-
cerned in withholding it have acted very disin-
gcnnonsly towards_thc Public.

P. S. " Croirait-I'on que le Comman.lant Antrichien, qui
" esL un General, a ttiS chaqa de ce mouvement ?"-7" Will
" it he believed- that the Austrian Coininandaut, who is a
" General, Was shocked at this movement?" -

It is-reported that the Commander of Antwerp
and the General of the Allies blockading that city,
had had an imerview, wJien, it is said, a proposal
was made to surrender the place.
It is the Princess INIARY whose hand report is
giving to the King of PRUSSIA. ,
Yesterday the Duke of YORK transacted mili7
tart' business with the PRINCE REUENT at Carlzon
House.

The Duchess of York has Dot left York House
since her arrival in town, in consequence of her
Royal Highness being indisposed with aslit.,ht cold.
Viscount SIMITOUTII waited upon the PRINCE
REGENT yesterday.
. . . _

After the Dutch Minister had retired from the
presence of the PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton-
house, on Wednesday, his Royal Highness re-
ceived a visit froru the Princess CHARLOTTE.

Yesterday morning Mr. (11,AsE, of the Bank,
waited upon the Gentlemen of the Stock Ex-
:liange, and informed them that the CHANCE:LLOR
of the EXCHEQUER would be ready on Tuesday
next, to receive the. biddings for a new Lottery.
The narrow escape of Lord WELLIZICTON and
Sir ROWLAND HILL, from a shot which killed the
horse of the latter gallant officer ender him, is
eircunrtantially described in the following letter
received in Shropshire, the native county of Sir
ROWLAND, from one of his Aides-de-Camp..

"ST. PALMS, FEB. 20.—1 was riding in front of Lord We.t-
LiNercoN and Sir ROWLAND, with our of his Lordship's Aides--
de-Camp, when in crossing a French battery a round shut
passed between us, then wept very near Lord WLILLItiaI oN's
head, and afterwarsis struck and killed Sir RowLAND's horse.
The ball entered the shoulder of the animal, paged through
his body, and vent between the lugs of the rider. The (;c7-
neva) vas a little hurt by the fall, but nut by any means seri-
ously. You may better, judge than I can describe our alarm,
until we ascertained that this was the case."

A►► extraordinary elopement took place in the
west end of the town within these few days. The
Lady has not been n►ore than six months a wife,
and the gallant is a man of sixty!
The whole of the valuable library of Lord
Motaa, including ►many Oriental works. was de-
stroyed by the late conflagration at the Custom-
House.

The Earl of Oxroan lost all his linen, and some
articles of plate nt the same time.
The Gentlemen compo3ing .the Special Com-
mittee of the Stock Exchange came ou Wed-
nesday to a resolution to print the Report of their
inquiry into the'late nefarious transaction. We
understand that there was at first a difference of
opinion among the Members on this subject,
some doubting the propriety of publishing the
Report, while others'..tnaintained, that it is the
duty of the house to make a full disclosure of all
the authors apd abbetors of the imposition, and
of all the cirChmstances connected with i:, as the
most effectual means of guarding the public
against a recurrence of such disgraceful practices.
In /he end, however, the Committee, by a great
majority, confirmed the resolution for printing
the Report.
Infortnation, as we tinderstand, has been given,
that a Prussian, who was lately living within the
rules of the King's Bench, is the person who rt-
presented the sham Colonel DE 801.711 G. He is
not yet taken, but the Police Officers are on the
look-out.

The Roman Catholics are, we understand, bit-
terly incensed against Dr. DROMGOOLE for having
shewn too soon the cloven foot, and explaining so
clearly and decidedly the principles and views of
the Papists. They now declare their conviction
that DROMGOOLE has betrayed the came, and that
Government has bribed him to speak the truth and
nothing but the truth. The Papists expected for
home tune longer to have mystified, as the French
call it, in plain Irish, humbugged the Protestants.
On Friday last, a very numerous and most high-
ly respectable meeting mis held at the Craven
Arms Jpn, in the city of Coventry, tor the-pur-
pose of forming a Society, whose object should be
to put a stop to the pry sent illegal and pernicious
practice of buying and selling corn and grain in the
ditferent markets in this county, by measures of
different and uncertain sizes, and fur bringing
into general use and adoption, the legal or Wiu-
eba4ter bushel.
