Paris, iittq. morning, at seten
_o'clock, his Majesty the Emperor and King set
• out to put himself at thelead of his armies. ,
Pants, SA.s.24.—,His Majesty the Emperor and
King, previous to immediately setting out to place
himself at the head of the Ariniesi has conferred,
during his .absence, the Regency upon her Ma-
jesty the Empress and Queen, by letters patent,
dated yesterday, the 231
The same day her Majesty the Empress Queen
took the oath as Regent, in the presence of the
EmPerol'i and in a Council composed French
Princes, Grand Dignitaries, Cabinet Ministers,
and Ministers of State.
PARIS, JAN. 24.—11 is Majesty to-day reviewed
in 'the Court of the Thuilleries several regiments
of infantry, and a superb and very numerous corps
of cavalry, composed of lancers, eclaireurs of the
guard, drlgaions, chasseurs,- grenadiers of the
guard, Bens d'armes d'elite. All those troops im-
mediately put themselves in march for the army.
The four battalions of old troops, which on the
20th entered Lyons, are only the head of a con-i
siderable column which' is marching upon that
town ; in a short time there will be at this int,
portant point an army, • which, marching upon
Franche Comte and GeneVa, and" increasing by
reinforcements,
.which will join it froin all parts
Of the country that it shall deliver from the ene--
my's presence, will be in a condition to Oct in an
advantageous manner wherever:it 'shall judge ..ne-
cessar3l.
PAnts, JAN. 23.--The officers of the National
Guard of Paris, 'in number 800, had the honour
of being today presented to the Emperor, in the
Saloon of Marshals.
• When his Majesty passed on his way to Mass,
he was saluted with unanimous cries of Vide 11Em-
peretir ! On his return they were,reiterated with
new force. The officers', divided: into 'Legions,
formed avast circle, in the midst of which the
Emperor placed himself. Then appeared'a scene,
the most affecting, the most sublime., The.:Eni-
perm. addressing himself , to the,Officers ,of, the
National Guard, told them, that a part of the
French territory was invaded, that he was going
to place himself at the head of his army, and that
he hoped, with the assistance of God, arts! the va-
lour of his troops, to repulse the enemy beyond
the frontiers. At this moment his Majesty's looks
were tenderly fixed ,upon
.the Empress and the
King of Rome, who his August Mother carried
in her arms, and his Majesty added, with a tre-
mulous voice, that he confided his Wife and his
son to the love of his faithful City of Paris ; that
he "gave it the highest mark c his esteem, in leav-
ing under its protection the object of his dearest
affections ; that he hoped his capital would not
be polluted by the presence of the enemy; that,
however, if, in the midst Of the grand manoeuvres
which are preparing, "some hordes of light troops
dared to insult its barriers, he was sure that its
brave inhabitants would not forget that their
Sovereign had confided its Oefence to them.
It is only possible very feebly to imitate this
discourse, sa noble an'd so energetic. Oh that we
could here express the' üblime. movement which
transported all hearts ! At that instant a thousand
voices resounded, a thousand arms were raised to
swear to defend the precious trust .confided to a
faithful people ; enthusiasm, emotion, were at
their height ; tears flowed from every eye ; every
father, in seeing that infant, the hope of the na-

tion, thought of his sons; monarchs; princes,
subjects, assembled by the same wishes, bound by
the same sentiments, seemed but to form oire great
family, and to confound, in the defence of the
country, all their affections, all their interests, all
their courage.

How is it possible to attempt to represent such
a scene without enfeebling it ? But even this
sketch•is sufficient for Frenchmen. Their imagi-
nation easily conceives and pourtrays what belong
to generous sentiments; and through all the cities,
through all the camps, through all the ha►ulets,
th'e sacred oath which Paris has taken to its Em-
peror shall loudly resound.
BRUSSELS, JAN. 19.—We are assurert.that the
enemy has retired from Arlon, and that he, has fe-
trograded. The Duke of Tarentum has just ar-
rived at Namur.
LIEGE, JAN. 18.—His Excellency the 7sfarshal
Duke of Tarentuin has arrived here. We expect
General Sebastiani this' evening. •
MoNs, JAN. IB.—The most active measures are
taking for provisioning Valenciennes; Conde, 'and
Maubo►trg.
GAND,- JAN. 20.—The most. satisfactory ac-,
counts have just been transmitted to the Prefect '
of the Depatameut, which he hastens to com-
mimicate.

" By a manoeuvre, equally skilful as bold, Ge-
neral Maison has just disengaged Antwerp, re-
pulsed and beaten the encmy,.of whom he has
killed many men, and effected his junction witll
Marshal the Duke of Tarentum.

" The English have retired upon Rosenthal;

the Prussian; have gone into their old canton-
ments, and the frontier is sheltered from ail
iustitt."

LYONS, JAN. 21.---The enemy has made no
movement ; we are arming ; we are organising
with much activity. The sight of the troops
which hate arrived within our walls inspires con-
fidence. We instantly expect more. The Lyon-
ese are determined to defend and support the re-
putation of bravery and of patriotism which they.
have acquired by so many titles.
We continue our preparations of defence. Our
forces Augment every moment. 'lime enemy has.

the, b:ockade of it is: not strong enough to form
the investment of it on both banks. This fortress,
.which is well 'prOvistioned, is without, contradic-
tion' one of the strongest places in Europe.
klAmvulton, JAN: lA—The 13th corps, com-
manded by the Prince of rckrhuhl, consists of
four divisions. The enemy having penetrated
into Holstein, the Danish division separated
from the 13th corps, and has concluded an armis-
tice with Sweden.

The Prinreof Eck-mull' has taken a position in
advance of Hainburgh. A great road communi-
cates with Stadt. Hamburgh is extremely well
fortifiet4 furnished with numerous _ artillery, and
provisioned f0r,40,000 men for a year. The in-
habitants who had not proVisiOns in it for a year
have evacuated the town ; it is calculated that
60,000 have left it. In this• position, the 'armies
commanded by the Prince Royal of Swedem,and
General Bennigsen, keep at several leagues 'dis-
tance from Hamburgh. 'These two armies united
are stronger-than that of the Prince of liekmuhl,
but-they are not sufficiently' go to oblige him to,
enter tie town,
,and 'invest the place. There has
been no general affair, but several engagements of
cavalry, which have been to the advantage 'of the
Fte.och.

FURTIIER EXTRACTS FROM THE FRRNCFI PAPERS.
• PARIS, JAN. 21.—T0-day the Empe-ror left the
Palace at two o'clock, attended only by an Aid-
de-Camp, a piquet, and a page, and rode on
horseback into/he suburbs of St, Aetoine. As
soon as his Majesty appeared, a crowd of people
fl'ocked from all sides, who appeared pleased
at this new proof of confidence. 'After having
welcomed hint with repeated t •es of " l'Ent-
perear!" these brave people surrounded him, and
spontaneously offered him their arms for the com-
mon defence. '' No, Sire," they cried, " no,
the enemy shall not come to Paris, as they flat-
ter themselves ; they shall no nuiee come there
than they did in 1792. We have once driven
them from Champagne, and we will do so apin ;
we will serve you, but we, desire to be in your
guards. Many other traits, stamped with the
energetic and familiar elniracter of the language
of the people, contintially interrupted the affection-
ate- replies of his Majesty. The Emperor, moved
by so many testinonies of devotion, walked
his horse back, always surrounded by the people
the crowds of whom continually increasing, fol-
lowed him back to the Thuilleries. His ;Majesty,
when he returned to the Palace, must have said
in his heart, like one of the ancient Kings of
France, " the French are the bravest and the
best people in the World:" The Emperor has
called the French of Brittany and Norimindy.to
the succour of their brethern of Alsace, invaded
by the enemy, whose cries rend hiS paternal heart.
It is impossible to conceive the eagernCss of the
French to answer to this call of their Sovereign ;
from every quarter the levies of Conscripts, the
National
,Guards, repair to the camp- at Meaux:
the Departments of la Sarthe, la Alauctie, Calva-
dos, Seine and Oise', Seine and Marne, rival each
other in ardour, and contend who shall best serve
the Prince and the country. It is. affirmed that
the Marshal Duke of Treviso has had, in the
neighbourhood of Langres, an atfeir with 'a corps
of Wirtemburghcrs, mid 'that he had,llestroVed
The post from Lyons arrived to-day, and has

of that city.

On the. day before yes'teeday, to repair to the
head-quarters. "Iso-daer, in the absence of the
Vice-Constable, the tient-el-lents of the national
guard have taken their oath in the. hands 'of his
Serene Highness the Prince Arch-Chancellor. To-
, morrow the sal-lieutenants will take it, and those
officers who shall not have taken it to-day or'to-
morrow, will be admitted. to do so on Smithy at
noon. A,deeree, dated the 18th of January, de-
cides that the law of the 3d of September, which
fixes the interest of money in civil naatters at 5 per
cent. and in commercial transactions at (i per
cent, shall be suspended, from the publication of
the decree, till the Ist of. January, 1815.-130r:-

LYON'S, J ate. 18.-e-The audacity of the pretend-

places. - General Musuier, who has just are fiver:

with cries of ‘e: !jive l'Empereur!" by crowds of
people assembled in the Place des Terreaux. The

Was the old policy in Spain,—we marvel that the
enemy should resort again to so unsuccessful an
experiment.

'lhe story of the Old Officer at Metz and his
property, is of very obvious tendency. The first
Proclamation of the BOURBONS however will de-
stroy these fables.

We have received Dutch Papers to the 26th,
from Which Extracts are given, in our last, and
in a preceding page., Lord CASi'LEREAGH is stat-
ed to have arrived at Frankfort on the 15th. An
article from Bremen states that Wittenberg, was

represent as scarcely threatened by an Enemy,

able hiss in a sortie which they attempted

part of the troops, the hostile disposition of the
population, and the energy of the besiegers afford
us cause to hope that this important city will very
shortly be relieved from oppression, and its op-
pressors punished. The work published by ACKER-
MANN has made, every one acquainted with the mi-
series of Leipsic. A similar account relative to'
iJamhurgh, frum the pen of Mr. LLOYD, furnishes
perhaps the only parallel to the horrors there
recorded, and we strenuously recommend the
perusal of both these pamphlets to all men
Who desire to form a correct estimate of Gallia
atrocities, and the crimes for which the Corsican
and his vile associates are answerable,

There are reports in these Papers that Luxem-
burg and Bois le Due had surrendered; and that
BULow had established his head-quarters at liras-
&els. We fear these arc premature, though it is
evident, froM the'French Papers, that the Allies
must, have advanced in Brabant, in order to ren-
der it necesssary for General llnesoN to fight his
way from Antwerp to a junction. with MAC-,
-DONALD. The GROWN PRINCE May shortly be
expected to make his appearance in this quar-
ter, when very decisive operations will take place
agaiust•the force collected by the enemy.
A body of Saxons, under the Duke of SANE
WEIMAR, have already crossed the Rhine at Dus-
seldorff.

'We have given elsewhere some Extracts from

American Papers. Nothing further has trans-
pired relative to the capture of the Congress frigate,
which was stated on Saturday in our Jamaica
Papers. We see no reason to think the fact im-
probable.

The Dispatches from Lord WELLINGTON are

dated the 16th. N'uthing important had occurred.
General MINA, with the Spaniards on the right,
bad fallen back—the Guerillas will be an excellent,
match fur IhrusPE's Basques..

It is again asserted, on the authority of letters
from Naples of the 9th, that MURAT had conclud-
ed an arrangement with the Allied Powers on the

sth ult. in couseqUence or which he was to turn
his force against kis Brother-in-law, BIJONAPARTE.
What the terms are rests upon mere rumour : the
guarantee of. his Crown and Kingdom with the
reversion at- his death to the rightful Monarch, is
one of the. most prohable of these floating:stir-
Mk:CS.

When BC ONA PA!tTE appointed BEAUHAR-
NOIS to the connnand of the dregs of 'armies
which he collected after flying from Russia,
he uttered some eflections publicly against MU-
RAT, which, it is said, the latter never for-
gave, and as we know he has long been endea-
vouring to bring about a conipromise, there is
reason to believe that the report we have just re-
corded is well founded. it is said to have been
settled by. Lord W. BENTZ NCK, who, in a 74-gun
ship, entered the Bay of Naples, and anchored
alongside of two vessels of equal force, statione4
there by the enemy. in this situation•the nego-
tiations were carried 'on to the conclusion stated.

The report that the Baron de VI CE:STRL
.(the Nobleman who is the bearer of a letter from
the CROWN PRINCE to Lord WELLINGTON), is
charged with any mission to SOULT or SucileT,
is expressly contradicted. When it is recollected
that our Noble Commander is directing his arms
to that part of France which is the birth-place .of
his Royal Highness, and in whiCh most of his re-
latives still live, it way readily be supposed that

cotnnvonicatiori might talit place irrhich had no
reference to pOlitic4.3n4tiers.

Private letters received from the Army under
Marquis WELLINGTON state, that Geupral Sir J.
. .
Muißmi is expected from SicilY, at tie'ad-qtiar-
ters, where a totirt-Martial is to bt he'd on the
subject of the Tarragona ExPedition.

We have great Satisfaction in communicating
the appointment of Lord COciruANE to the Ton-
giant, now (we believe) fitting out at Chathatn.
The Public will . rejoice to see the Noble Captain
employed in a Service to which his intrepidity and
skill render tim an ornament ; and .especially at
a period when his attendance in the Senate may
'be so conveniently dispenstd with. It is probable
that the Tonnant will cross the Atlantic, and be-
come the flag-ship of Sir A. COCHRANE, whe with
his nephew,. Will give great plea Sure to their
country if they .heartily beat the Yankees.

State or the Mails this day :—AII the Mails
due on Saturday and Sunday have arrived. The
Mails due this day were all late. The following
are those that had not arrived at twelve O'clock,
viz. Bath, Bristol, Cainbridge, Exeter, Edinburgh,
Gloucester, LeecN, Manchester, Shrewsbury and
Holyhead, and the Taunton.

.The Duke of CLARE.: CE a: rived at ThOlen on
the 19th ; the tz2rrison paraded underarms to re-
ceive him, and in the eveningthere waS.a general
Colonel MASTERS arrived at the Secretary of
State's Office,' Earl I:3ATRURST'S, with dispatches
from Lord IVELLINGTpN. No new event had taken
place. The French armies under SOULT and
SUCHET were greAtly superior to those of the
Allies, and MINA had been obliged to fall back:
Colonel MASTERS returns to England on his pro-
motion.

Advises from Lishrn state that a plan had been
for some time iii agitation, for raising the Princess
CHARLOTTE, consort of the Prince Regent of
PORTUGAL. to the Regeney.of Spain. It is added,
that she was on the point of embarkation from
Rio Janeiro for Europe, with a view to the ac-
.complishment of this measure.
As soon as the news of BuoxArarrrt's &Tor-
ture ,became public, the I,7rench Funds fell from
49-1 to 4S 1-sth. •
A letter from an Officer, dated Mahon, Dec. 9,
1813, says :--7" We left Tarragona the 2d inst.
at which time the fortifications were restored ; and
by additional outworks; made stronger than be-
fore. We arc gradually withdrawing the English
guns, and replacing them with Spanish. The
Court of Enquiry on 'Bir J. MuItRAY is to be held
in the city of Valentia. Admiral HALLOWELL hits
been directed to attend, and give evidence. It
is not expeeted that a Court,Martial'will ensue.
A large division of transports, detached from Tar-
ragona, sails to-day from hence for Sicily, in
charge of Lieut. PYE, R. N. A number of ships
have. already collected at that Island, doubtless
with a view to offensive operations in the Spring,
should any prove necessary. Accounts froni Pa-
lermo, of the 20th nit. state every thing to be

tranquil in that I,lliud, since Lord BENTINCK'S
return.—Ponta is to he strongly garrisoned. A
variety of Staff appointments have already taken
place." ,

It is reported, that so long.ago as when 800-
CARTE was at Dresden, a letter from 'Nadair.e
SUCHET (at Paris) to her husband in Catalonia,
wa3 stopped by &Mail', opened, and sent taßuo-
NAPAATE, to learn whether it should be forwarded'
accord ug to the direction, because it contained
some important communication about diffi-
culties of the French Government, in consequence
of the intractable disposition, caprice, and rest-
lessness of BUoNTAPARTE. It was returned in all
envelope by CAULINCOURT, to SAVARV, in which
CAULINCOURT says, " The Emperor,,wko is at
my elbow, desires that the'letter may be copied,
and the original forwarded to Suca T. The Eta-
peror knows him and his wife well—thex are
both rank ifitriprznts." This letter, with its,
velope, was intercepted by BLUCHER, and both
were forwarded to SUCHET, to let hini,know the
real opinion of the Master whom be served.

-By a letter from the Hague of the 24th, we
learn that the Prince of ORANGE has appOinted
CHANGUION, late Commissary General in
land, Minister Plenipotentiary to the United
States of America. This appointmznt, we are
informed, has excited!. much interest among the
Dutch, who eagerly anticipate the benefits to be
derived 'from a renOval nt their commercial inter-
course with North America.'

Saturday the JUDGE ADVOCATE waited tipon die
PRINCE REGENT IVitll a report of the proceedings
of Courts Marthil.

On Satnrday, for the first time since the heavy
fall of snox; all the Mails arrived at the Past-
Office in the course of the (tar.

Accounts brought fr;)m every road represent the
waters to have so inundated th:un, that it was
with great risk the-roaches could come forwkrd ;
and from the rapidity with which 'the floods ap-
peared to he inerertsing, it. is suppoqd that the
coaches of Saturday night !hint have been ma-
terially delayed. Several Stage?, that lett town at
two o'clock on Saturday, were stopt. at South
Mims by the waters.

We understand that Count . BANTANto has in-
stituted a prosecution for- libel the Pro-
prietors of, the Cheltenham Chronia`e, in C.onst.,.-
quence of the allegations against him, which ori-
ginated in that piper.
