A young gentleman, aged about seven years, son .of a Co-
lonel in the army, was. afflicted with a virulent and sore erup-
tioa: the complaint. resisted various applications from the
united consultation of three physicians of eminence, and con-
tinued to grow worse under the. regimen prescribed, when a
lady, who hail received a cure of a very bad case of Scurvy in
the face of several years standing, by your GOWLAND'S
LOTION, recommended a trial of the same remedy.—lt was
applied under my, own inspection—the disease gave way—and
three quarts of your Lotion performed a radical cure of a dis-
order which had been of about four years duration, and had
baffled the skill of several phy:iciaus eminent in their pro-
fession.

From mv•conviction of the above cure I recommended your
C;OVi'LAND'S LOTION tot lady whose face exhibited a very
diAagreeable eruption, (eveui large puStules,. and as one died
away another appeared,!- so lime, so as to prohibit. her going
into cicnpany; a pint if your GOWLAND'S LOTION effect-
ed a cure, aud she is now free from ertiprion.

FRENCH PAPERS.

ritECEAVELI LAST NIGHT.]

PARIS, FEB. 20.-,—Her Majesty the Emt,rtitts
111111 QUERti•ba.3 received the follosting nevi's of the
situation of the Armies to the 19th of Febtuary

The Duke of Ragusa was marching upon Cha-
lons, when he learned, that a column of the Inv-
pedal Russian Guard) composed of two divisions
of grenadiers, was Marching upon Montinh ail.—
Ile faced about, marched upon the enemy, took
300 men, repulsed him upon Sezanne, from
whence the move invents of the Emperor have
forced this corps to proceed by forced marches to-
wards Troyes. 'Count Grouchy, with the divi-
ajar, of infantry of General Leval, and three di-
visions of the first corps of cavalry, passed to LA
Ferte-sous-Jonarre. The advanced posts' of the
'Mike of I'reviso bad entereeSoissons.
On the 17th. at day-break, the Emperor march-
ed from Coignes upon Nangis. The battle of
Nangis has been one of the most brilliant.
The Russian General in Chief, Wittgenstein,
was at Nangis, with three divisions, which form-
ed his corps d'armise. General Pahlen, command-
ing the Id and 14th Russian divisions, and much
cavalry, was' at Mormant.
The General of Divison, Girard, an officer• of
the highest promise,, debauched at the village of
Mormant upon the enemy. A battalion of the
32d regiment of infantry, always worthy of its
ancient reputation, which caused it to be distin-
guished twenty years ago by the Emperor, in the
battles of Castiglione, entered the village at the

pas de charge. •
Count Vatiny, at the head of the dragoons of
General Tyielhard, coining from Spain, and which
arrived at the army, turned the village by its left,
Count Milhaud, with the sth corps of cavalry,
turned it on t,he right. Count Dronct advanced
with numerous batteries.• In a moment all was
decided. The squares formed by the Russian in-
fantry were broken. All was taken, Generals and
Officers-6,000 prisoners, 10,000 muskets, 16
pieces of cannon, and 40 caissons, tell into our
power.

General Wittgenstein escaped ; he in great
baste saved himself in the direction,
,of NOgent.
He had announced to Sietir Billy, with whom he
lodged at Provins, that lie would be at Paris on
the 18th.—On returning, he stopped but a quarter
of an hour, and had the frankness- to say to his,
host, " I have been well beaten—two of my
divisions hltve been taken, and in two hours you
will see the French."
Count Valmy, with the Duke of- Reggio;
marched upon Provins the Duke of Taro-rum]
upon NontiCularie ; the Duke Of Belltmo marched
. upon Villaneuve.
General ‘Vrede, with his two Bavarian divisions,
were iu a position there.—Gen. Girard attacked
them, and put them to rout. The 8 or 10,000
men, who composed the Bavarian carps, were
lost, if General Sterther, who commanded a
division of dragoons,had charged, as he ought to
have done ; but this General, who has on so many
occasions distinguished himself, allowed this one,
• which 'offered itself to him, to escape. The Em-
peror has caused his disapprobation to be convey-
ed to him. He has not been brought before a
Council of :Inquiry, certain that as at Hoff, in
Prussta, and at Znairn, in Moravia, where' be
conuaanded the 10th regiment of cuirassiers, he
will merit culogiums, and repair his fault.
I-lis Majesty has expressed his satisfaction tee
Count Vainly, to Gen. Treilhard and his division, •
to Gen. Girard and his corps d'armke. The Ent-
peror passed tire night between the 17th and 18th,
at the castle at Nangis.
On the 18th, at day-break; General Chateau
marched upon INlonterean. Tire Duke of Bel-
Juno was to have arrived there on the evening of
the 17th. Ile halted at. Satins ; it was a great
fault. The occupation of the bridges of Mon-
terean would have gained the Emperor a day, and
• enabled him to avail himself of a flagrant error of
the -Austrian army.
Gen. Chateau arrived beforeMontereau at l GA.M,
but at 9 o'clock Gen. Bianchi, COlntlianding the
Ist Austrian corps, had taken a position, with two
Austrian divisions and the Wirtemberg division;
upon the heights before Montereau, covering the
bridges and the town. Gen. Chateau attacked
him,; not being st;pported by the other divisions
of the corps d'artn6e, be was repulsed. Sieur Li—
eoutela, who, in the morning had been sent upon
a reconnoissance, having had Iris horse killed, has
been taken. He is an intrepid yoeug•man.
Gen. Girard supported the battle during the
whole morning. The Emperor pr6ceeded there at
full gallop. A.l* two r. at. he caused tine 4,,ing
ground (plateau) to he attacked. Gen. Pagol, who
starched by the road of Mauna- arrived whilst .

t 6 et drfai.o•weit pi.ng tin;
charge-, nverthfew the enemy; and drove him inW
the Seine and the Yonne.

. The braYt.': 7th Chatteurs debonehed upon the
bridges; Which the grape-shot from more than 60
pieces of cannon prevented froth being blown rip,
and we at the same time obt tined the doutle
*Vantage of being able to pass the bridges at the
pas de charge, take 4000 men, 4 pair of colours, 6
pieces of corium*. from the enemy, and kill 4 or
5000 men. The squadrons de seri:ice debauched in
the plain. gen. Duhestne, an officer of rare intre-
pidity and long experience, debauched upon the
road of Sens ; the enemy Was driven in every di-
rection, and our army defiled upon the bridges.—,-
The old guard had only.time to shew itself.; the
ardour of the tr(iopi of General Girard and Gen.
Fagol prevented it from participating in the affair.
The inhabitants of Monterean did not remain
musket=shots fired from the windows
augmented the enemy's embarrassment. The
Austrians and AVlrtembergers litre* lilvay their
arms. A WirteMberg General has been killed,
an Austrian General taken, as well as some Colo-
nels) among whom is the Colonel of the regiment
of Collared°, taken 'with his Etat Major and his
• colours.

On the same day, Generals Charpentier and
Alcx debonehed from Melon, traversed the forest
cif Fontainbleau, and drove the Cossacks and an'
Austrian brigade from it. General Alex arrived
at Moret—tlie Duke of Tarente arrived before
Bray.

The Duke of Reggio is pursuing the enemy's.
parties from I'rovins towards.Nogent. The Ge-
neral of Brigade Montbrun, who .had been charg-
ed, 'with 1,800 men, to defend ,floret anti the,
forest of Fontainbleau, abandoned then► and re-
tired upon Essonne, notwithstanding the •forest
of Fontainbleau might be disputed toot by toot.
—The Major-General has suspended General
Itlontbrini,' and scut him before a Council of
Inquiry.
A loss xvhich has sensibly affected the Emperor,
is that of General Chateau. This young Officer,
who gave the "utmost promise,' was mortally
wounded upon the bridge of Montereau, where he
was with the tiralleurs. If lie dies, and the report
of the surgeons gives little reason for hope, he
will at least -die accorup2nied with the. regret of
the whole army ; a death worthy of envy, and
much preferable to existence to- every military
man, who cannot preserve it but by surviving his
reputation, and by stifling the sentiments with
which-, in these great circumstances, the defence of.
the countr and the honour of the French name
ought to inspire him.
The palace of Fontainbleau has been preserved..
The Austrian General Hardeck, who had entered
the town, had placed sentinels to defend it against
the excesses of the Cossacks, who, however, suc-
ceeded in pillaging soine door-keepers, and car-
rying away the horse-cloths from" the stables.—
The inhabitants do not complain of the Austrians,
but of these Tartars; monsters who dishonour the
• Sovereign who employs them and the army which
protects them. These brigands are covered with
gold and jewels. There haves been found from
eight to ten watches upon those whom ,the soh
diets and peasantry haSe killed. They arc true
highwaymen.
The Emperor, on his march, met the national
guards of Brest and Poiton. He reviewed them :
—" Shew," said he to them, " of what the men
of the West'are capable ; they were at times the
faithful defendefs of their country, and the firmest
support of the monarchy."
Ills Majesty passed the night of the 19th at
the castle of Surville, situated upon the heights
of Montereau. The inhabitants complain greatly
of the vexations of the Prinee'Royal of Willem-
berg. Thus the 'army of Schwartzenbsrg found
itself touched (entente) by the .deleat of Kleist,
this corps having always constituted part of ,it;
by the defeat of Wittgenstein, by that of the Ba-
varian corps, 'bf the Wirtemberg division, and of
General Bianchi's corps.
The Emperor has granted to the three divisions
of the old guard (mounted) 500 decorations of the
legion of honour—He has granted a similar num-
ber to the old foot guard—He has given 100 to the
cavalry of General Trielhard, and a like number
to the cavalry of General Milhaud.
We have,collected a great number of the deco-
rations of St. George, St. Wlademir, and St. Anne,
taken from the men who covered the different
fields of battle.
Our loss in the battle of Nangis and Montereau
does not exceed 400 men killed and wounded,
which, although seemingly improbable, is never-
theless the exact truth.

The town of Epernay having been informed of
the SUCCCSS of our army, sounded the, tocsin,
bat ricadoed its streets, refused a passage to 2000
men, and made some prisoners. Let this example
be every where imitated, and itis to be presumed
that very few men of the enemy's armies will re-
pass the Rhine. _

The towns of Guise and St. Quintin have also
shut their gates, and declared- that they would not
open them unless a suflicrent force of infantry
presented itself. They have not acted like
Rheims, which had the weakness to open its
gates to 150 Cossacks, and which for eight days
leis compliii►ented and well treated them.
Our annals will preserve the recollection of the
populations which have failed in what they owed
to themselves and to honour. They, on the con-
trary, will exalt those which, like Lyons, Cha-
lons-stir-Seine, Tourbois, Sens. St. Jean de
Losnes, Vitry, and,Chalous-sur-Marne, have paid
their debt to their country, and h►►ve risen to that
height which the -glory of the French name de-
.manded. Franche-Comte, the Vosges, and Al-
sace, will not forget the moment of the retrograde
movement of the Allies. The Duke of Castig-
lione, who has collected an army of chosen troops
at Lyons, is marching to block up 'the enemy's
retreat. - •

PARIS, FEB. 21.—We this moment learn, that
the _Emperor of Russia and Kiug of Prussia, who
werd on the LStli at Bray, precipitately left it, as
soon as they knew the bridge of Montereau had
been forced.
