LONDON,
TUE S DAY, FEB RUA RY 8. 1814.

By a Gentleman who left. Helvoetsluys on the
‘3d-inst. we learn that accounts had reached that
place positively stating. the entrance of the Allied
troops into Brussels, without any opposition on
the part of the itthxhitants, who appear •to hold
BUONAPUITE in the uttnott detestation. No ac- -
counts reached Helvoetsluys of the reported vic-
tory of BUONArARTE on the 29:11. As soon
as it was learnt that he had left Paris, the
Allies were in motion. The garrison of Ant-
werp was said to consist of seven thous-and men,
but composed of diff:rent nations, and therefore,
could not be relied on. The rivers vtere frozen
in Holland, but the people were ir, high spirits',
and looking forward with ale most sa:Tttinc hopes
of securing their independence, and recovering.
their commerciarprosperity. •

The French Papers to the 3d, the arrival of
which, we mentioned on Sattuday,"and in alluding
to which we yesterday expressed a hope that it was
not possible they could have been withheld had
they actually reached this country; are., at last,
perinitted to appear,. and will be found in our
'preceding Columns. To say.that .theii conceal-
ment \since Saturday, for the purposes of Jobbing,
is scandalous, is to use the mildest word possible.
'We thought we could not have been deceived in •
the intelligence we.gave the public ; but when
two days elapsed, and still the Journals, of the ar7
rival of which we spoke, remained in utter dark-
ness in some dirty Alley near the Royal Exchange,
irebegan even to doiiht our own information ;tor
we could not imagine that the impudence-Of the.par-
ties concerned in these transactionssctmld have car-
ried them to the extent, so long hiding the news
of events at present so vitally interesting to the

country.. -
Now, however, that we have these important

• 7 .
Prffits before us, • we congratulate Publie,on
. .
their according so perfectly the character of
. .
the late actions which our excellent private in-
formation from the opposite coast enabled us so
fully and distinctly to draw three days ago. It
will be discovered, on a perusal of the Extracts,
thatIkoNAPARTE has not been figi' 0- for victory,
but for sal vatiOn--M0 IZTI ER had been defeated, and
compelled to retreat to Troyez,, 'and after driving in
the advanced posts of the Allies nearTitry, St.Di-
and Yassy, Du osAPARTE advanced,hotagainsf
enemy in his front, on the route .to Nancy, or
even towards Langres, but " in the rear" of the
Allied force, which. upon his right flank was pur-
suing the corps of MOLITIER, which it had routed
near Bar-sur-Aube, and whose wounded, sent to
Nogent-sur-Seine, we.remarked at the time, af-
forded a sufficient pt'oof of •the extent of his
disaster. It was, therefore, indispensably ne-
cessary for the Tyrant, in the- first instance,
to extricate this Marshal, whose retreat ex-
posed the main French army to be taken on
the right, and cut off. In,this attempt Ole great
Captain appears to have been unsuccessful. His
pag:asites say he has cut, his way to Brienne, and
taken than place—but Brienne is nearer Paris than
Dizier, and Arcis-stn-Aube, where the Cossacks
established themselves, in a direct line,between it
and the Capital—But it was not to Arcis alone
that these brave wiirriors had made their way—
at
.Sens, within little more than _7O miles front
Paris, they came re,::ommended to the Mayor as
most peaceable and well-deserving persons from
the Mayor ofAreis., who olcourse knew them well,
though the French writers assert that they were not
admitted within the place—From Sens to Fountain-
bleau is 35 miles—from Fontainbleatt to Paris 35

miles; so that it is evident that the Corsican's legacy
of a visit from the Allies is likely to be paid by the
light troops of the left of Prince SCHAWARTZEN-

BERG '3
army, even earlier that: by those belonging
to Marshal (Push-On) 13.Luctin,a. In fact, the
t
Cossacks were. within one of their extraordinary .
marches of Paris—a.city at which they ire most
anxious to. have a peep, as they are great admir-
ers of the arts, of the labours of which that den
of robbers is the repository.
The unadorned truth of all the rumours given
in the minor Papers amounts to this: that from
the 27th to the 30th the enemy had been, engaged
in sharp actions with the advance of the /killed
Army, which, as is invariably the case, fell back'.
contesting the strongest positions, on the grand
force. As for the 43 pieces of cannon,,the 15,000
prisoners seen 'and counted by the Courier riding
post with the glorious -news; they are the
flourishes of Gallic rhetoric ; Mere exeres-
ceneei of style, of. the veracity of which a
very competent notion may. be formed by es-
timating them with the story of 30,000 of the
Allied Veterans being defeated by 15,000 French
ball raw conscripts, and losing 4 or 5000 killed,
while of these impenetrable heroes only-aloout 300
fell ! ! ! The fable concerning the country people
with scythes, forks, &c. is equally authentiethe
Cossacks ere ton efficacious and terrible in the
character of light troops to admit of the possi-
bility of the fact here statel.

King Josnrit reviewing troops in Paris is whim-
sical enotzli.—Poor JOSEPH ! he is the King of
every where or of any where. A dispatch from
Sue lIET, dated Barcelona 18th, demonstrates, that
he has nothing to boast of which can raise the
drooping spirits of the Corsican faction ; and that
the Allies have resumed their activity, and become
the assailants on the Llobregat.

It is with considerable pain we lay before our.
Readers the General Orders issued by General
BaYNES relative to the late affairs in Upper Ca-
nada. BUt we trust that the confirmation of the
following intelligence will give us cause to forget
the misconduct of any part of the British force,
in rejoicings at neiy proofs of gallantry and con-
duct in others.

.`` St. John's, New Brunswick, Dec. 31,_ 1813.

" This morning we have a report, in a Poston.
paper of the-20th inst. that WILKINSON'S army.
has beerrsurprised in their encampment, and cat
up,- by our forces from Montreal, &c."

The North Ames ican Papers, whence our ex-
tracts are taken, are to the end of December.

The Proclamation of the Allies, in our first
page, is calculated to touch a chord which will
awalt'en the best feelings in France—the restora-
tiob of upwards of 300,000 prisoners to their fa-:
milies and friends, ought to secure the overthrow
of the Tyrant.

The extracts from :Last India iPapers to Sep-
tember are given this day, in Pursuance- of our
promise, and in exclusion of some remarks we
had intended to offer oe the unmerited abuse la—
vished on Lord ABERDEEN. •
