SECOND EDITION.

OCCUPATION OF PARIS BY
THE ALLIES.
FLIGHT OF BONAPARTE.

STAR OFFICE, TWO O'CLOCK.

We stop the Press to insert the following Letter,
tcteived by express frcm Dover. We have every
reason to believe that the intelligence it contains will
prove correct, as it has reached us through a most
respectable channel :

" An Officer of the Belgic Cavalry, from the
Head-quarters of the Duke of SAXE WLIMAR, at
Tournay, has bcen landed at Deal, from one of Ad
miral YOUNG'S cruizers, dispatched with him from
the Roompot.

44 He had Dispatches for Lord B tTHURST, and re
ports that five Battles have been fought, in all of which
the Allies were Victorious. The first was fought by
Marshal &Aroma, at Laon, against BONAPARTE,
who was defeated with great loss, and retreated to
Soissons, pursued by BLUCHER, which occasioned a
second battle here, which appears to have been ob-
stinately contested, and a second time the Allies were
victorious. In this affair the Duke of TARENTUNI
and SEBASTIAN' were killed ; the former of whom
was buried at Soissons with military honours.

BONAPIIRTZ then retreated to Meaux, where he
was a third time brought' to action by BLUCHER, and
defeated by the corps d'armee under General DE
YORK ; and had then to fight another battle at Cha-
renton, tour miles from Paris. He was again beaten,
and obliged to abandon the Capital, retreating with
the wreck of his army in the direction of Rouen.—
It also appears that Prince SCHWARTSILNBERG had
attacked and defeated Marshal OUDINOT at Corbiel,
acrd was advancing towards Paris."
Other letters mention positively, that Paris was
occupied by the Allies on the 13th instant.

A report has also reached us, but we know not the
authority on which it rests, that the PnaßE frigate
has taken the Esset American frigate.

We have given extracts from Paris Papers to the'
13th, but their contents are rendered scarcely worthy
of a comment, in consequence of the following pis-
sage in a private letter from Paris of the 11th—
" Don't believe the Meniieur—we have been beaten."
It is rather Itriusge that the events of the 7th, whicti
happened only 60 or 70 miles from Pat is, should not
be officially made known in the capital until the 13th.
That some details respecting the battles of the 9th
and 10th had reached Phis, cannot be doubted, wc
think, from the state of the French Funds.

We have to announce the arrival at Leith of
Cartel from Norway, having on board a Deputation
from the Provisional Government of that country.
Baron ANKER, a Danish Nobleman, is at the head of
this mission, and it is stated that they will proceed
to London, to implore the mediation of the PRINCE
REGENT with Sweden, to avert the annexation of Nor-
way to that Kingdom. The measure is decidedly
11 unpopular among the Norwegians.

The QUEEN continues confined to her private apart-
ment's, in Windsor Castle, in consequence of a severe
cold. .

The Doke of SUSSEX, we are concerned to say, is
confined at Kensington Palace, with his asthmatic
complaint.
Yesterday, soon after three o'clock, the Princess
CHARLOTTE, attended by Miss KNIGHT, took an airing
for about an hour in her carriage, in the Parks.
The Baron VANDEIt DAYN VAN MAASDASI, Grand
Master of the Household to her Royal Highness the
Princess Sovereign of the NETHERLANDS, whose pre-
sentation to the PRINCE REGENT, at a private audience
on the 9th inst. accompanied by M. FAGEL, the regu-
lar Ambassador, was notified in the Gazette of Satur.
day last as having come on a special mission from the
Court of the Hague, has been sent over trinake a
demand in form of the Princes; CHARLOTTE'S hand
in marriage for the Hereditary Prince of ORANGE.—
The sanction of the previous consent and approbation
of the PRINCE REGENT, of the PRINCESS herself, and
of the whole Court and Government, has already
smoothed the way to the arrangements of this impor.
tant and auspicious union, which must, however,
according to the established etiquette among crowned
heads, be demanded by embassy after it has been
agreed upon by the parties ; and the settlements and
provisions as resulting from the exalted condition and
prospective sovereign duties of the personages to be
married, must be reduced into a Treaty by Plenipo-
tentiaries specially appointed. Mr. VAN MAASDAM
is charged with fall powers for this purpose on the
pact of the Prince Sovereign of the NETHERLANDS.

The late Lord MONTGOMERIE married his cousin,
Lady MARY, a very amiable woman, the daughter
and heiress of the late Earl of ECLINTON, by whom
he flab left two sons ; to the eldest the extensive estates
of both families, united by this marriage, will ulti-
mately descend. Some years ago, Lbrd Morrrco-
AERIE erected a beautiful Mansion, from a design of
the lace Mr. WYATT, ai Coilsfield, the old family
estate of his fAther, which, with the surrounding
grounds, he embellished with great taste, and where
he lived among his friends, in a style of the most ele-
s gAut and liberal hospitality.
