THE NEWS OF YESTERDAY.

SECOND EDITION.--.Sun-OfSce, Three o'clock.

The following Important Communication bas
just reached us from unquestionable authority :---
The Moniteur of the Bth 4-arrived in town, and
not the least mention is made either of the Ar-
mies or oithe Preliminaries.

Private letters of the same date have been
received. The Allies have surrounded ,i):,;•is„ and
SUONAPARTE permits the English Conricr, L,2 iass,
and SILVESTER is iust arrived from Calais, having
travelled through France. It is BIION,I*ARTE'S in-.
tention to leave Paris to its fate, ip case of the
Negociation breaking off, to join Sour-T, and
ivake a dash at Lord WELLINc,ms.

THIRD EDITION.—Sun-Officg, Pour o'Clock,

As SILVESTER, the Messenger, will not ar-
rive in Town before Eight or Nine o'clock, it will
.riot be in our power to communicate any further
pArticulars of the important news in our Second
Edition. This, upon enquiry, we find may be re-
lied upon. A cordon of the Allied troops has
been drawri The Cossacks bad al-
ready been within 18 ashes of that city. The IWo-
niteur of the 8.111 (tearing, no doubt, to offend
those wholp they expected so soon to have its
Authors in i.4ir power) is entirely silent on the
events of the kAr,tr—the last intelligence from the
scene of action being published on the atb, and
bringing down events no later than the 3d.—
Thus six days have elapsed, and no News from
the Despot, fighting only from 70 to 90 miles' off!
Could we desire better News ? Yes ! and it fol.-
lows—lt is confidently said, that so far from neg,o-
ciations being in progress with the Usurper, all
diplomatic intercourse has been entirely broken off.
We cannot answer for ,this report, but „it is of
too great magnitude, and too desirable, to permit
eur withholding it from the Public. For the pre-
sent, however, it must rest on unofficial rumour.
The report of BUONAPARTEIS being about to
form a itinction with SouLT,-we trust our Readers
understood us to be nothing more than the spe-
culation of a Private Letter.

There is something curious in the names of
places in the Low Countries where the enemy 11$15
of late been figuring away. In his flight he took
the direction of Liar (Lief.) and behind him he lett
Al Lost (Mali).
