PARIS, FEn. 18.741er Majesty the. Enress
Queen and Regent has received the fgllowing
news iroei the army. t( the 17th in the morning :
" The Emperor, in setting out from Nogent
. .
on the 9th, to manoeuvre upon the enetny's• corps
which was advancing by the Ferte and Meaux.
upon Paris, left the corps of ti,e Duke of Bel.
litno and of Gen. Gerard before Nugent; the 7tit
corps of cile.Duke of Reggio, at Provens,-charged:
with the defence of the bridges: of. Bray: kind
Montereau, ,and General Yugo! near Mnntet:eau
. and Melun.

,".The Duke of Eeiluno having received infor-
mations that several divisions o► ti►e Austrian
army.had marched from Proyes on the day of the
10th, to advance upon Nogent, made his corps.
d'artoerepass the Sciuc, leaving Gen. llourmopt
with 1200 men at Nogeut, for the defence of the.
town.

" The enemy presented himself on .the 11th to.
enter iCogent. He renewed his attacks all the!
day, and always in vain ; he was briskly repulsed
with the loss of 1500 men killed or woundc(C---
General BoUrtnrint had barricadoeel the streets,
indented (crenele). the houses, and taken. every
Ineaseure tor a vigorous defence. This General,.
who is an-officer of distinction, was wounded in
the knee.: Col.Raviere replaced him.
. " The enemy renewed the attack on the 12th,
but still to no purpose. Our young troops co-
vered themselves with glory. These two days
have cost the enemy more 'than 2000'men.
The Duke oftelluno having learned that-the
enemy had passed at Bray, judged proper to
,cause
the bridge of Nogent to be destroyed, and march-
ed upon Nanges. The Duke of Reggio otcicrod
the bridge of Montere::u and Melun to be blown
up, and- retired upon the river Yeres..
On the I,6th the .Einphior airrived:itpon the
Yeres,ami marHbed his head-quarters to Gmigiaes.
" The.evening of the battle of 'tram:tramp (the
14th). the Duke of It visa caused the enemy to be
attacked at eight o'cl6ck at tloges.; he took front
pieces of canrion, antkhe has fiiiished the.
destruction of tbe,ll,ossian iivision:' _There were
counted upon this point alone of the field of bat-
tle 1300 dead. The success obtainediat the battle
of Vauchamp has been much -more 'considerable
.
than was announced. .

"The exasperation of
.the inhabitants of • the
country is at its height. _The .atrocities'commit:-
te(r by the Cossacks stir*s all that can' tie imai
gilled. In their feroCious intoxication they_have
carried their attempts to women .of sixty •yearsi
and young girls of twelve; they have plundered
_mid destroyed' the habitations. The peasants',
breathing but. vengeance, conducted by old retired
military men., and armed with muskets of the
enemy, 'collected upon the•field of battle,,beat the
woods, and lay hands upon all they meet; they
estimate already those which, they have, taken at
more than two thousand ;, they have , sev.-
sal hundreds of them. The Russians, frightened,
sins vender CO' our columns, to find • an *him in

them. The Satne causes will produce' the same

effects throughout all the empire ; and those ar-
mies which entered, they said, upon our territory
to carry pe,ide,' happiness, the sciences, and the
arts thither, shall•find on it their annihilatioi4;!
Letters from the army, written from Ranges,
the 37th at noon, announce that the Emperor,
who had attacked the enemy-,_ll at that moment
in hii power 6000 prisoners, among whom %vete
several Generals and a great number of; officers,
and 14 pieces of cannon. His Majesty was fol-
lowing up his soccesS;
TO-day at noon, 6000 prisoners made yester-
day morning at the battle of Nanges, will cater
Paris by the Bart ierre de Charenton:
MILAN, FEB. 10.—An Estafette• which we
have this moment received from Golfo, where it
left the Prince Viceroy-on the morning of the 9th,
has brought us the following news :
" By a combined movement, the eu•nlN• of the
-Prince Viceroy debouched yesterday at day-breali,
from Mincio in several columns. General Verdier
remained upon the Upper • Mincio
_with the 6.lth
and sixth divisions, which were the same day to
debouch from .Monzamb'ano, and support • the
movement of the Prince Viceroy•upan Villafranca.
The Prince intended to offer the enemy battle at

thin point.
We expect to find the principl of the ene-

Itt

rorces where they were posted on the even-
iog of the preceding day, at Rohervilla, Villa-
frin-n, and Vallegizio. By'an extraordinary cir-

CtItYWrI nee, the enemy in the same night marched
all his fm.:!es upon Valleggio, aria precisely at the
Inome,n w:!en our troops were ,debouching from
eaeir tele-d?-pont, the enemy effected his passage
to Borzh?tto. A battle followed on the plains
beyond Roverbella vi,ith the enemy's reserve, at
the very moment even when General Verdier was
oppOsing to the enemy on the heights of Mon-
zambano, the greatest resistance to his efforts.

“ The baffle was 'nrisk, and well supported on
both sides, espeCially on account of the position
of the two armies. The valour of our troops
triumphed over the resistance 11;hich the enemy in
vain opposed. We have pushed 'our advantages
to Valleggio, upon the heights. We fought till
night was advanced an flour. • ToWards tour
o'clock in the afternoon the village of Pozzelo was
taken, and the enemy, who at this point had be-
gan preparations for bridges was obliged tO aban-
.
do” them.

4' On his side Genteral Verdier, who tiad been
placed upon the heights of Monzambano, repulsed
all the eneu4's attacks ; and although he was
without communication with the other divisions,
from the time the enemy had drawn columns upon
Volta,be hail not lost an inch of ground. The
fruits of this day are most advantageous. There.
have fallen into our power more than 2500 priso-
ners, among whom are 40 officers ; the enemy has
had, without exaggeration, 5000 killed Or wound-
ed. We have taken several administrations of the
army, and the saddle horses of a great number or
Generals.

"The regiments of Dentschrneister, Reiske,
the reserve of the grenadiers, and the dragoons of
HoL,enlohe, are those regiments which have suf-
fered mast. b.! a single charge of the 31st chas-
se4irs, a battalion of grenadiers was broken and
destroyed. lip to the pre. t ,it we do not know the
state of our. own losses ;Nit, at most, amounts to
2500 men hors de conzbat.

" llurio4: the night the enemy made the troops
Which had rcuiair►ed in presence of Gen. Verdier
to repass towards Valiegio ; our troops, after
having passed the night upon the field of battle,
this morning have repassed the 11:lincio„ re-esta
blished the communication with .Verdier's corps,
and retaken /he Hue of the Mincio. The head-
quarters of the Prilte,e Viceroy were to be esta-
Wioed half way from Volta. .

General Zoiche who had marched upon his
different ccimmunientions of bona della Scala to
flank the right of this army, met some-enemy's
battalions which he obliged to retrograde, and
this morning entered with some hundreds of pri-
soners.

" In this brilliant day the enc►uy displayed the
greatest valour."

EFIJRTHRR EXTRACTS FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS
OF YESTERDAY.]
•

• PARIS, Fall 16.—A report had been spread of
the death of the Prussian. General York, at Cha-
teau Thierry. This report is confirmed. The
General breathed his last sigh at the house of a
post-master, who had bestowed•on him all the
care and astistance which humanity dictates.
NawrEs, FEB. 12.—Yesterday 800 Austrian
prisoners passed through this town, where they
received numerous proofs of the pity which the
unfortunate inspire into generous minds.
LYONS, FEB. 9.—Detachments of the National
Guards, front the Departments of the Loire,
the Upper Lobe, Carta!, Puy de Dome, and the
Allier, are coining to join the army at Lyons,
under Marshal Atigerean. To-day is arrived the
first culuynn of the brave troops sent. us by the
Marshal Duke of Albufera : it will be followed
by the other columns, which will all be here lily
the 15th of this month, with the artillery which
accompanies them. Tjic enemy is .still at our
gates, levying requisitions ruinous to the country
which he occupies. Perhaps he still entertains
the idea of taking our city, and
.of bringing there
disorders and famine. It is to make him -with-
_ draw from our walls—to drive him back to his
own territory, that so many generous soldiers are
assembling about us. Let us then receive them
with transport ; let us fly to. meet our deliverers ;
and let our joy; our acclamations, ou seeing those
valiant warriors, who are most of them covered
with honourable wounds, prove to them that we
know how to appreciate and-to acknowledge the
• services which they render to their country: Let•
'our houses be oven to them during their stay
among us, wad let them find, in our fraternal re-
_eeption,• in our 'attention, in our eagerness to
provide for their wants, a
.feehle recompence for
their fatigues, and an encouragement to new sa-
crifices, the speedy results of which will be the
flight of our oppressors, and the conquest of a
durable- peace, the object of our most erdeut
wishes.

In those parts which are near the: departments
invaded by the enemy, our defenders are daily
welcomed by the inhabitants. with marks of grati-
tude ; the French armed for the common defence
are treated like brothers whose Coming is imp-
tjently looked for ; the rich and the poor contend
for the honour of lodging them, and of providing
for all their wants., This affecting sight is the best
answer to the attempts of our enemies to excite
the people against the 'established order of things
this eagerness of the inhabitants doubles the energy
of our soldiers, who feel still more that they fight
foe- the deliverance, and for the• independence of
their country, .

A letter written this morning from Fontainhlean,-
by' an officer xvho arrived there front the army,
says, that the news of the defeat of Blucher had
been received at the quarters of the corps com-
manded by the Dukes of Belluno and Reggio, and
had excited an enthusiasm not to be described.—
The young and old soldiers burn with impatience
for the moment when they may tread in the steps
of their cumrathis.
The effect of the late victories struck all those
whom the fine weather had attracted to the en-
virons of Berry, VincentiLs, and Meriehnontant.
The roads were covered with passengers ; a great
number of cabriolets and elegant carriages drove
towards La Brie. One would have said that the
enein, was `..;09- leagues from our walls. Meantime
the pupils of the Polytechnic School were work-
ing their cannon before the barriers, and sheared
as much zeal as the most experienced cannoniers.
these.pi-eves are - placed in the manner of bat-
teries, with their caissons at hand. The enemy's
light troops would pay dear for their boldness, if
they dared to approach the walls of this city,
which recalls to mind by turn, Route and Athens.
The interior of the capital presented a scene
not less intercstng. The garden of the null-
levies was full of people, who admired the fine
appearance of a detachment of grenadiers of the
national guard on duty at the gates of the pa-
lace. Many of the officers ,were mingled with
the crowd. Nothing was spoken of but the vic-
tories of his Majesty the Emperor.
Fine regiments of infantry are continually ar-
riving from Versailles, which repair to the army.

[The Paris Papers contain various accounts of the coati=
nued levy and march of the conscripti, and also of the ar-
_rival of various detachments of soldiers, wounded in the late
actions, who are sent to the neighbouring departments.]

BULLETIN of the CROWN PRINCE'S ARMY.

" Bead-quarters, Cologne, Feb. 12.

" The Prince Royal set out from I,3ll:ken-
bourg- on the 9th, to proceed by Leipstadt and
Eh:aid& to Cologne, where his Royal Highness
arrived on the 10th at night. He passed the
Rhine amidst the sound of cannon, and both
banks resounded with the acclamations of the in-
habitants. The whole population of -Cologne
went out to meet !tine at the Over.side ; and
never was the enthusiasm of a people, delivered
from an oppressive yoke, expregsed with more
unanimity and ardour. The city was illuminated
at night. Yesterday there was a grand ball,
which his Royal Highness honoured with his
presence.
" As the combined army of the North of'Ger-
many is about to commence a more active cain-
paign in those countries, it it necessary to state
the march of the different corps that compose it,
and .the ulterior prospects of the Prince-Royal:
The corps of General Bulow, forming_tlic
right of the army, is-in the environs of Brussels,
and has pushed its advanced posts in the direction
of Mons.

" General Winzingerode, whose head-quarters
are at Namur, forms the centre. Ile has already
got possession of the towns of Nlons, Avesnes,
and Rheims, of tVhich he hac sent the keys to the
Prince Royal,- who will transmit them to the Em-
peror Alexander.
" The corps of Count WoronzolT, which has
passed. the Rhine here, takes also the direction
of Namur, to come in contact with that of Win-
zingerode. General Strogonoff is about ,to fol-
low it.

" The advanced guard of the Swedish army
will be on the 21st upon the Rhine, so that the
whole army will have pasae►l the river before the
end of the month,

" The Danish troops take the route. of
Dhis-
seldorit, passing by Bremen and Munster, and
will proceed from thence further, on the lint of
operations.

" The intention of his Royal Highness is to
unite the whole army under his orders upon a line
between Soissons and Rheims, and then to act
according to circumstances.",
