LONDON,
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1814.

SUN-OFFICE, Half-pa4COne o'clock.

Since writing our Observations for the day, we
learn that Mr. FISHER, OE • Messenger, arrived
this mornin,gwith Dispatches froth Lord 'CASii.EI
REAGH, WllO, it is said, teas proceeding to Troyes.,
Mr. FISHER brought ,a duplicate of a- French Bul-
letin, with the original of which 'Mr.
Lists st-
rived yesterday. Mr. FISHER, •we -understand,
heard nothing in France of a second action.men-
tioned in that Bulletin.

Lord- CASTLEREAGH bad, as :we have, above
stated, left Chatillon. for Troyes, the:head=quar
tors of Prince SCHWARTZENEERG. LISLE, the
Messenger, on his route from Chatillon to Troves,
overtook a Russian reserve of 30,000 men, who
were some of the finest troops he ever saw.—
The action of the 10th, of which BUONA-
..
TARTE boasts so much, was a. surprize of a
Russian party; and he. obtained several cannon.
This action was communicated by telegraph to
Dunkirk and the coast. The Russian troops,
:knowing that LISLE was an Englishman, saluted
him as they passed.
If we drew. any inference from Lord CASTLE-
'REAGH'S departure from Chatillon for Troyes, it
would be that the Negociations are not likely to
terminate in:Peace.

ICOI. BUNBURY arrived this morning from Lord
•W4iitLINGTON'S head-quarters.

We yesterday announced the arrival of French
Papers to the 11th (inclusive)' and mentioned, not
on the authority of those Papers, but from private
information, that there bad been further fighting,
and that BPONAPARTE claimed the victory. To
the correctness of the first part of this intelli-
gence, the French Papers in our preceding co-
lumn bear sufficient testimony—with regard to
the last, we have received no confirmation, and
can, therefore only repeat our firm persuasion,
that a battle (or perhaps a succession of battles)
has taken place, the result of which.is, that the
Enemy asserts he has obtained an advantage,
though to what extent we have not learnt. A
contemporary publication, whose sources of in-
formation are .excellent, states that it was on the'
10th that BUONAPARTE beat a Russian corps near
Sezanne, captured the commander, his staff, 40
pieces of cannon, 6000 men, and all his baggage,
and 'on the 11th defeated the corps of SACKEN,
(where is not said), taking 50 pie,:es of cannon
and 10,000 prisoners. We arc not ourselves en-
abled to speak upon the accuracy of this state-
ment—it is probable that BM/NAPA RTE may pre-
tend to successes of the kind mentioned, and,
we trust, with as good reason as he bad
on the Ist and 2d at Brienne. At the same time,
it is difficult to reconcile the account of" any very
important action having been fought at Sezanne
On the,loth, with the intelligence that head-quar-
ters remained at Nogent on 'the 9th ; for Sezanne
is about 25 miles from the latter, and on the
other and right side. of the united streams• of the
Aube and Seine, which it may be supposed 807
NAPARTE• would not cross when he had so,power-.
ful.an adversary opposed to hint as he has on
,the
left bank. Of General SACKEN the last official
mention we had _was of his driving the enernyfreni
foul, and his destination to clear the Meuse, so
that any engagement he may have had must have
been upon the right of the Allied Army, and not
against BtJONAPARTE in person, who is almost on
the rigirt of the French force.
On the Bth and 9th it is acknowledged that
MACDONALD was engaged between Chateau
Thierry and Epernay. He must therefore, since
tie 4th, have been driven by D'YortK from Chaos-
see, through Chalons and Epernay, or about 30
miles in his way to Paris, .and we may add, to-
wards the force from the Netherlands, Which was
coming up .ow his left. Another proof of victory.
The negociatious have had the effect of raising the
French funds to • 53. Detachments continue to
be drawn from thd'South; and we learn, that up
to the 28th, no event of imporeance had occurred
befbre Bayonne.

In calling the attention of our Readers to an
Advertisement of the Meeting at the Thatched
House Tavern On Saturday last (see our first page),
we cannot refrain from expressing our warmest
approbation of the truly British Sentiments which
it breathes. 1n spite of the feeble follies of the
fallen Factidn of the. Opposition, of the
taken eagerness for what they call Peace, enter-
tained by, better. men, and of the unalienable, as
it is.unnatural, attachment of latent Traitors to
the Despot, our enemy, the principles. avowed
this spirited Address are, it cannot be contro-
erred, the principles of the great majority of
the British people,-4he man of sound judgment
desires ,no peace with BUONAPARTE, because he
detects the sophism hid under the phrase, and
knows that thaugh it may be called peace, it is
only, war repressed till opportunity offers to re-
new it with advantage—peace „with all the bur-
thens of War. The man of moral character de-
Sires no peace with BUONAPARTE, because the
confirmation of that- man's. power is a libel
upon the justice of -ProYi4ence on Earth, and
would afford the mast striking example .ever
given of honour and reward being the fruit of
bold and successful villany. The.fears of time wise
man exclaim against peace with this persop, be-
cause it will strengthen his arm—the arm of a
heart that -will for ever be in hostility to Britain.
The hopes of the good man are against it, because
he sees in the example of triumphant vice the
most deadly blow that could be aimed • at the,
practice of virtue. Decency, honest pride, and
independance of spirit, exclaim against the dis-
gusting union, and it is thus that the -Voice of
the People is heard throughout the Land, protesting
that they 'will not debase the national character
by entering into the bonds of union with convicted
and infamous persons—that they 'will not put their
trust in plunderers and robbers, who have a thou-
Sand times declared that their dearest object is to
rob and plunder them7—that they will not, under
any phantasm of political eXpediency„; disgrace
themselves by condescending to an equality with
men whose recorded actions are an outrage urn
every thing respectable among mankind—that
they can not in
.cordial,. and • they will not in
false friendship, grasp the bloody hands of noto-
rious ruffians, assassins,,and murderers, whether
skulking in rags, or flaunting in the face of day in
robes of imperial purple. . _

. .
Such, we say, are the Sentiments of the British
People in every part of the Empire. They will
read this day with loathing and disgust those pa-
ragraphs in the French Papers which &veil on
the particular marks of attention paid by 'British
Noblemen to a French Murderer (for all acces-
sories are principals in this crime), because it is
felt by the Partisans of BUONTAPARTE how un-
merited were these attentions,, and how seivice=
able to the bad cause are those steps towards the
utter confounding of all distinctions between pu-
rity and erime—We lament with our country this
deep degradations-it falls upon us with the weight
of a personal Stain, and we therefore exhort the
people to that expression of their opinions,
'which is recommended in the Resolutions at the •
Thatched House. Such a measure will have its
rifect with those to whom we have entrusted the
direction of the State—it %vit.' have its effect
throughout Europe—and it every way becomes
the English Character to resort to it, to enable
our ,Ministers to assume the dignified station
which belongs to them, and endeavour to ef-
face the memory of this humiliation.
, Did` we wish to add the arguments of expediency
to the more noble argument of RIGHT, we would
refer to Mr. LEWIS. GoLosmthes'publication, the
Recueil of Laws, Decrees, and Manifests of Roo-
NAPARTE, an invaluable collection which every
Statesman ought to make his vade mecum, who
has yet to be taught that all treaties with the
faithless Corsican are straws- to bind A madman,
and that guile and treachery, and an utter uncou-.
selousness of every moral and .sacred obligation,
belong to the unchangeable nature of that atro-
cious- Tyrant.

Two English Officers, who were prisoners at
Bayonne, 'were sent to Langres, from whence
they were liberated by the Austrians. They Ob-
tained passports to Utrecht, where they arrived a
few days ago. The towns through which they
passed are described as being in the most abject
state of distress. BUONAPARTE was' every 'where
execrated and detested. His power was expected
to be but of short duration.

MURAT, it is said, retains his kingly dignity,
in consequence of his arrangement with Austria..
Anothet t dereliction from principle, which, if
true, must be sensibly felt, as being, next to the
recognition of BOQ&APARTE, a matter most sin-
cerely to be deplored.
Last night; about seven o'clock, Mr. LYLE;
the Messenger, arrived at the Foreign Office, with
dispatches from Lard CASTLEREAGH. Neither
Lord Lrvertpoor; nor 'the' Under Secretary being
at the Office; Mr. LYLE proceeded with the dis-
patches to the house of Mr. HAmmToN.
It is said that Sir CHARLES STUART, K. 13. our
able and excellent-Minister at Lisbon, is appoint-
ed Minister at the Hague • and THOMAS SYDEN-•
