°Rl)—The rain *hich fell inithe afternoon'

of the Ist swelled the Adour, and all the rivulets
falling into that river, so considerablyAs materi-
ally to impede our further progress, and to induce
me on the next day to halt the army.fill I could
repair the bridges, all, of which the enemy had de-1
stroyed. The rain continued till last night, and
the river is so rapid that the pontoons cannot be
laid'Upon it. The enemy had colleated a co.'

at Aire, probably to protect the evacuation of a
magazine which they bad at that place. Sir Raw-
_ land 'HilLattaCked this corps on the 2d, and drove
them from their post. with considerable loss, and
took possession of the town and magazine. lam
sorry to hare to report that, we lost the Hon.-
' Lieut. COlonel Hood on thiS occasion, anofficer of
great Merit and promise. In other respects our
loss was not severe. I inclose'Sir Rowland Hill's
'report, which affords another instance of the con-
duct and gallantry of the troops under his com-
mand. I have, &c.

(Signed) . WELLINGTON.

The Earl Bathurst.

Ayre, March 3.

141Y^LoRck—In pursuance of your Lordship's in-
structions, I yesterday advanced with the troops
under my command upon the road leading to,this
'place on the left bank of the Adour. Upon the
arrival of the advanced guard within two miles of
this town, the enemy was discovered occupying a
strong ridge of hills, having his right flank upon
the Adour, and thus covering the road to thin
place. •

Notwithstanding the strength of his position,
I ord.Ted the attack, which was executed by the
2d division under Lieut.-General the Hon. Sir W.
Stewart (which .advances on•the, road leading to
this place, and thus gained possession of the ene-
my's-extreme right), and by one brigade.of the
Portuguese diyisob under Brigadier-General La
Costa, which ascended the heights occupied by
the enemy at ahout the centre of his position.
The Portugtiest brigade succeeded in gaining
possession of the ridge, but were thrown into
such confusion, by the, resistance made by the
enemy, as would have been of the most serous
consequence, had it not.been for the timely sup-
port givqn by the 2d division under Lieutenant-
General Sir Woh_Stewart, who having previously
beaten back the enemy directly oppnsed to him,
and seeing them returning- to charge the Portu-
guese brigade, ordered forward the Ist brigade of
the 2d division, Which,, led
.by Major-general
Banes, charged the enemy in the most gallant
stye, awl beat thein back, throwing their column
into the greatest conflision.
Inc enemy made various attempts' to regain the
ground, but Lieutenant-General the Hon. Sir W.
Stewart, having now 'been' joined by Major-Ge-
neral-Byng's brigade, was enabled, to drive them
trona' all their positions, and finally from this
town.

By all accounts of prisoners, and from my own
iThservatinns, at least two divisionS of the enemy
were engiged. Their loss in killed and wounded
.has been very great, and we have above 100 pri-
soners. The
_evenly's line of retreat .seems to •
have'bt:en by•the ribut batik of the Ai'imr, With
exception, of some part of their force, %vhich being
cut oa from the river by our rapid advance to this
town, retired in the greatest confusion in the di-
rection of Pau. These troops have left their arms
'in every direction.
_ I cannot omit this opportunity of expressing to
your Lordship the gallant and unremitting 'exer-
tions of Lieut.-General the Hon. Sir W.. 'Stewart,
and ;he General and other officers of the 2d divi-
sion ; of Major-General Fane's brigade of cavalry,
and Captain Bean's troop of horse artillery,
throughout the whole of'tbe late operations ; and
I. must, in justice, mention tile gallant charge
made yesterday by Major-General 'Barnes, at the
head of the 50th regiment, commanded by ',feta.-
Colonelllarrison ; and the 92d, .commamtled by
Lieut.-Colonel Cameron, in which he was ably
seconded by his Staff, Bridage Major Weinyss.
and Captain Hamilton.
Major-General Byug's brigade supported the
movement of Major-General Barnes, and decided
,the advantage of the clay. Captain Macdonald,
at the horse artillery, distinguished himself much
in-attempting to rally the Portuguese troops.
I ,trust our loss, considering the advantageous
position occupied by the enemy, has nut been se-
- vere'; but 1 have to regret the loss of a valuable
• officer in -the death of Lieut.-Colonel Hood,- As-
• sistant-Adjutant-General to the 2d division, who
was unfortunately killed during the contest of
yesterday.--l. have, &c.

FRENCH PAPERS.

• PARTS',.llfAcfr 'l4.—The gmpress Queen and
Regent has received the followinvuews of the
situation of the armies to the I 2th March :

"The day after the baffle of f,raone, (tbe Bth)
the.enemy was
.pursued. by the Prince of Mask wa
to the village of Etonville. General Woronzow,
with 7 or 8006 men, guarded this position, which
w.as very, difficult to be got- at, because the road
which leads to it runs for a icagne between two.
impracticable marshes.
" Baron Gourgault; an officer of distinguished
merit; set off at' eleven at night, from Chavignon,
with two battaliOns of the Old Guard, turned the
position, and proceeded byChallevois upon Chivi.
He reached the enemy, whom he attacked with
the bayonet at one in the morning. 'The Russians
were aWakened.with the cries of Vive l'Empereur,
and yursped to Laon, The Prince of Moskwa
debauched by the

" 'On the 9th, at day-break, we reconnoitred
the•enemy,:who had joined the Prussian corps.—
The position was such as to be deemed unattack-
able. We took a position. The Duke of Ragusa,'
who had slept on the Bth at Corbone, appeared
•a:t two in the afternoon at Veslud, 'orverthrew the
enemy's ad.vaneed guard, attacked the village of
Althiesiwhich be carried, and was surxessful (hir-
ing the Whole day; At half-past six be took up
position. At seven the enemy made a dusk of ca-
v'alry,,one lea'ue in the rear, where the Duke of
Reggio bad a pzirk of reserve. The Duke of Ra-
gtisa proceeded thither quickly, but the, enemy had
time to carry off 15 pieces of cannon.' A great
part of tire personnel was saved.'
On the same day General Charpentier, with
his 'division of the Young Guard, carried the vil-
lage of Clacy. On tilt ;next day' the enemy at-
tacked this 'village seven times, and were seven
times repulsed. General Charpentier,- lost 400
prisoners. The enemy left the avenues covered
with his dead. The Emperor's head-quarters
were, on the 9th and
.10th, at Chavigtion.

" His Majesty, judging that it was impossible
to attack the heights of Laun, fixed his head-
quarters on the 11,th at Soissons hat;is in retreat).
The
.Duke of Ragusa occupied on the same day
berg au Bac.

".General Corbineau praises the good disposi-
tions of -the inhabitants of Rheims:

" On the ith, at eleven in the morning,
,Gen.
St.-Priest, commanding a Russian division, ap-
peared before Rheims, and summoned it to sur-
render. Gen. Corbineau replied with
,cannon.
Gen. Defiance then
,arrived with his division of
Guards of Honour ;, he made a fine charge,
,and
drove off the enemy. Gen, St. Priest set fire to
two great manufactories and "icififty houses,
which were on the outside of the town, ; a con-
duct worthy of a turncoat., In all times turn-
coats have been the most cruel enemies of ,their

country.
" SoissonS .haS • suffered much.' The inhabF-
tantsimi4 conducted theMselves in theinost ho-
nourable manner. There are no praises too great
for' the regiment of the Vistula, which formed the.
garrison there are no praises which theiregiment
of the Vistuk deems too great for the inhabitants.
His Majesty haz grante,Vt.bis Grave corps 30 deco-
rations of the Legion of Honour.

The plan of the enemy's campaign appears to
have been a kind of general hurra, dash upon Paris.
Neglecting all the,strong places of Flanders, and
only observing Bergen-op-Zoom and Antwerp,
with troops inferior by half in number to the gar-
rison of these towns, 'the enemy penetrated upon
Avesnes. Neglecting the places of the Ardennes,
Meziere, Rocroi, Philippeviile, Givet, Charle-
mont,
.Montruedy, Maestrecht, Vanlon.; and .14-
liers, they passed by impracticable roads to arrive
upon AVeSnes and Rethel.- These places comnm-
nicate, are notobserved, and the garrisons alarm
the rear of the enemy considerably., Whilst Ge-
neral St. Priest burned Rheims, his brother was
arrested by the inhabitants, and• sent olf prisoner
to Charlemont. Neglecting all the places of the
Meuse, the enemy advanced by Bar and St. Di
'tier. The garrison of Verdun is come quite to
St. Miliiel. Neat'. Bar a Russian. General, who
remained some moments with 15 men, after the
departure of his troops, was killed with bis escort
by the peasants, in revenge for the atrocities he bad
ordered. Metz pushes its sorties to Nancy; Stras-
burg,
and.the other places Of Alsace being observed
hwt by small parties, there is free ingress and egress,
and provisions arrive in abundance. The troops
of the garrison of Mentz go as far as Spires,—
The departments having hastened to complete the
corps, of battalions which are in all these places,
where they are armed, equipped, and, exercised,
we may say that there are several armies in the
rear of the enemy. His position cannot but be-
come more dangerous daily. We see
.by the re-
. ports that ,have been. intercepted, that the regi-
; merits of Cossacks, xv:hose force was 250 men,
have lost upwards of 120 men, without having
been in action, _but only by the hostilities 9( the

peasants.
" The Duke of Castiglione nsuinceuvres on the
Rhone, in the dcpartMedt •of the Aisne, and in
Franche Compte. Generals Desaix, and Mar-
chand have driven the enemy from savoy. Fifteen
thuusand_men are passing the Alps, to reinforce
the Duke of Castiglione.
" TheVicerOy has,obtained great successes at
Borghetto, and has driven the enemy upon the
Ad ge. General Grenier, who set out from Pla-
centia on 2d Marich, bet the enemy at Parma,
and chased. him beyond the Taro. The French
troops' that occupied. Rome, Civita Vecchia, and
Tuscany, are entering Piedmont to pass the Alps:
"the exasperation of the population increases
daily, in propOrtion to the atrocities Which are
committed by those hordes, more barbarous still
than their -climate ! who dishonour the human
race, and whose military existence has for its
object liillage and crime, instead of honour and
renown.

" The conferences of Lusignyfor an armistice
have ' We could not agree upon the tine of
demarcation. We were agreed upon the points of
occupation'to the North Und-East, but the enemy
.wished not only to extend his line upon the Saone
and the Rhone, but to inclose Savoy in it. We
replied to this unjust pretension, by proposing to
adopt on this line•the status quo, and to leave the
Duke of Castiglione anti Count liiibaa.to .Settle it
upon the Hue* their advanced posts. This was

rejected. It was then necessary to renounce the
idea of an armistice for a fortnight, which was.at-
tended With more inconvenienzes than ldr:nta,gcs.
The Emperor, besides, did not think In had a right
to place a numerous population 1c.2!: the iron
yoke from which they had been deliVered. lie
would not consent to abandon our corn munica-

tions with Italy, which the enemy had so often
and so vainly attempted to iniercept, when our
troops were not yet milted.
" ,The weather has been constantly very cold ;
the bivouacks are very distressing,Auring this sea-
son, but each party has been exposed to the satlT
sufferings. It appears even that sickness makes
great havoc in the,cnerny's army, :whilst ,Ours'has
but few sick"

PARIS; IV/molt. 16.--Her Majesty the Empress
Qtfeen. anti Regent.' has, received the following
intelligence of, the situation a the armies 10 e
14th:

" General St. Priest, Commanding' in Chief
the eight Russian corps, had. been for several days.
in position at Chalons-sur-Marne, having-an ad-
v,anced guard at Sillerv. This corps, cOmpo,ted
of three divisions, xvhich ought to have formed
18 regiments and 36 battalions, had actually only
•eight regiments, or 16 battalions, rnalting about
5 or 6000 men. . ,

" General Sagow, comManding ,the last co-
lumn of the Pro-Sian Reserve, and having under
his orders four regiments of the Landwehr of
