FRENCH PAPERS.

AITLAN, FrA. 16.-11,e last Estafette arrived
from the Army, left the Prince Viceroy's head-
quarters yesterday evening at Volta. According
to the reports which we receive, it appears that
the enemy's loss was much more considerable
than was at,first supposed.' The head-quarters of
Marshal Bellegrade were oa the 13th at Villa-

ranea.
On the 14th the enemy caused some columns to

penetrate into the Val Trompia and Sahhia, in the
ope of effecting some favourable diversion. Gen.
Bonsanti immediately collected all the detach-
n►etnts which he had in the different vallies, and
left Briscia On the .15th, before day-break, to
murck upon Gardonia. He had with him a bat-
taliop of the 35th light French infantry, a bat-
talion of the 6tt► Italian regiMent of th.e line, and
one hundred and fifty mounted gens d'armes. The
first enemy's posts were met eight miles from
Briscia, and repulsed beyond Gardona, of which
we took possession, notwithstanding the resist-
ance which the enemy.attempted to oppose to us.
At night the troops again approached Briscia. The
result of this day has been the placing 2 or 300 of
the enemy hors de combat, taking front hint 71)
prisoners, including three officers ; among whom
are two Majors of the regiment of Lendcnau. We
had about 100 wounded and 15 killed, among
whom is an officer. General Bonsaute praises
the conduct of Colonel Duche, of the 35th light,
and of Lieutenant-Colonel Gillut of the 6th of the
line.

GRENOELE, FEB. 18.---Marshal Angercan has
put himself in motion with his army,' which is
numerous, and animated with the best spirit.—
Different reports inform us, that General llubna
already begins to evince some uneaeiness ; he has
caused his park of artillery, which seems to take
the direction of Geneva, to retrograde. Every
thing leads us to believe that in a short time there
will not be a single enemy in our neighbouring
departments.
CHATEAU THIERRY, FEB. '2l. —Since the en-
trance of his Majesty within onr walls, we have
enjoyed perfect tianquility. General Vincent,
Commandant of the gardes d'honneur, does every
thing in his power to mitigate our sufferings.—
lie is employed in distributing arms to us. A
thousand prisoners made by us attest our courage.
PARIS, PER. 24.—The Government have re-
ceived official dispatches from Admiral Verheuil,
dated the :12th inst. This Admiral, who com-
mands the Texel fleet, has been able, 'uy pus good
dispositions and his courage, to preserve it en-
tire in the New Deep, and cause the fortifications
which defend the Helder and Texel Roads to be
respected. To this effect, he shut himself up in
Fort Lasalle, with the 63d, and all the French-
men who were embarked on board the fleet._

Obliged to suspend the great work of the Niewe
D.ep, he disbanded 1,600 Spanish prisoners em-
ployed there, and to whom we must do the jus-
tice to say, that they left him with expressions
of attachment to the Admiral, awl with giving
him, of their own accord, their parole not to
serve before their return to Spain. It was to be
feared that the Dutch seamen of the fleet would
not be able to keep clear of the insinuations -that
`might reach them. The Admiral gave leave of
absence to all who wished it, and he got rid, by
these means, of every thing that might afford him
uneasiness, in his courageous determination to de-
-1_11(1 hithself to the last extremity.
A small number of picked Dutch Officers, faith-
ful to the -)ath they had taken to the Emperor,
swore to share the fate of the Admiral and the
French crew, who, with sonic detachments of ar-
tillery and troops of the line, form the garrison of
Fort Lasalle.

The fort was first surrounded by the Cossacks,
who could not prevent divers sorties by the gar-
sison. They have been since replaced by troops
of the line, who every day announce attacks that
are little feared.
The Admiral has been thrice stmmoned to sur-
render—the end of December by the Prince of
Orange ; in January by a Colonel Tetzen, in the
service of England ; and on the 9th instant by a
Gen. De Jonge, stiling himself Commander of the
Dutch troops. The reply of the Admiral to these
three summonses has been the same : it was, that
unshaken in the fidelity he swore to the Emperor,
defended by good fortifications, having under his
orders a numerous and devoted garrison, abun-
dantly provided with provisions and ammunition,
they might attack him, but not to propose to him
to surrender.
