PARIS, MARCH 12.
The success of our armies (H 4) as not slackened
any of the preparations for the defence of Paris. We
are continuing to place the town of St. Dennis in a
respectable state.
Notice is given that the audience (ibis Excellency
the Minister of War, which was to have taken place
to-day, is put off to the 19th.
The official declarations of the Magistrates of the
towns which have been temporarily occupied by the
enemy, prove, in the most authentic manner, that
these troops regard the pillage and destruction of Paris
as the object and recompence of their invasion. Men
worthy of credit, vtho have been witnesses of the con-
duct Gt the Russians and Prussians, and who are very
numetous in this capital, whither they have come to
find an asylum, confirm the truth of these reports.
They unanimously assert that the soldiers, and
even the enent) 's Chiefs, boast of entering Paris
without resistance, ot pillaging the city, of choosing
from among the inhabitants, labourers, artizans, ar-
tists, and young women, to be sent to Russia ; of
driving out the rest ot the population, and after-
wards to set fire to the houes.

It is chiefly the Russians who display the greatest
inveteracy in these projects (f destruction. As they
want money, clothes, and provisions, and as they
have extensive deserts to people, they would gaiir the
height of their wishes were they to depi ive us of our
moveable wealth, and reduce to slavery the indus-
trious part of our population. They would transport
our workmen into bleak Russia, where they would
make them labour for their-profit, until the knout,
disease, cold, or hunger, put an end to their exist-
ence. These projects ought to surprise us little on
the parrot the Russians, who are in general strangers
to every idea of civilization, and every sentiment of
humanity..
The horrible excesses which they have committed
most certainly are not the first of which they have
been guilty. Their conduct at Warsaw, on the se-
cond revolution of Poland, sufficiently proves of what
they are capable. Eighty thousand human b?ings
were put to death in cold blood by these Tartars.
The Vistula was encumbered with dead bodies, and
the flames consumed the subuzb of Riga. Nothing
was respected, neither churches, nor houses of cha-
rity, nor hospitals. They had reserved the women
and girls to serve them as slaves, but in a at of fury
they put them to death.
In tine, there is no sort of crime with which they
are not stained, and no language is sufficiently strong
to paint their atrocity. Such are the enemies who
wish to come to Paris, and who think of entering it
as if it were a village.
The English division anchored in the great road of
Rochelle was complsd, at the date of the id of this
month, of five ships and four sloops.

" My advanced posts are three quarters of a leagut

nity we shall he naastets of that city. We had yes-
tertloy a very wain.* afrair ne tr St. Julien. The
enemy presented to us one battery of 14. pieces, and
several qif 1Z and in spite of this great superiority hc
lost the field of battle and all his positions. Our sot-
.diets have perforrnA prodi:gies of valour.
" A superintendent of Douaniers made himself
alone 13 prisoners. Atiother soldier made eight. Th 2
inhabitants are so irritated at the bad treatment they
received from the enemy, that we had mush trouble
to prevent them from assassinating 50 prisoners.
The loss of the enemy has beel much more con-,
siderahle than ours ; we hear that he has blown up
the bridges of Geneva.

which captuted it, was yesterday evening two leagues

DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS.

EBERFELD, MARCH 5. ,

This day the last division of Swedish troops, be-
longing to the army of the Crown Prince, passed
through here, on their road to Cologne. Yesterday
the legion, composed of German and Russian troops,
under Count Walmoden, left us to take the same di-
rection. The Crown Prince is hastening southward
with the utmost expedition, to assist the allies in their
advance upon Paris.
HAGUE. MARCH

His Royal Highness the Sovereign Prince of tTie
Netherlands, in consequence of the delays that have
unavoidably taken place in raising a military force in
the present disorganized state of the country, has ap-
{•ointed several additional Commissioners to enter
upon the duty of procuring recruits, and perfecting
and bringing into the field the Landstrum.

BREDA. MARCH 9.
The greater part of the prisoners takes at Soissons
by the Allies has been sent hither, and from hence
have been conveyed onward to Rotterdam, Durt, Su.
MALINES, MARCH 3.

The garrison of Antwerp, four days since, made a
sortie with 4.00 infantry and 50. cavalry. These troops
took the dirtction of Lierre, and their object was to
~btain provisions. The advanced posts seeing the
vanguard approach, discharged their pieces, and the
:darn) WAS instantly given. The Saxon Lancers pre-
sently assembled, put sited the enemy, and rnside some
prisoners, the rest seeking refuge lay a hasty return v.)
the town Several of the garrison availed themselves
of ►his opportunity to desert. The excursion acquired
for the enemy some cattle.
