QUARTERS, ARMY OF SILESIA, 22D FEBRUARY, 1814,
• DRAUSS, ST. BASLE, 8,
Siß—Thi; army effected its march upon Mery
yesterday. The town was already occupied by Ge-
steral Count Witgenstein, who had reconnoitred the
enemy to be in some force opposite to him between
Charres and Merigny. On Field-Marshal Blucher's
arrival, his corps was withdrawn, and early this
mining took the direction of Chandrigny. The
posts he left in front of the town had scarcely been
relieved by this army, at about eight o'clock in the
morning, before the enemy commenced an attack.—
It not b&aig the immediate object to carry on any
operation on the left bank of the river, arrangements
were instantly made for burning the bridge over the
Seine, that divides the town in two parts, and for de-
fending that on this side of the river. Field-Marshal
Blucher was himself superintending; the disposition;
fcr this effect, when it was observed that the town;
whether from accident or design, was on fire in three
'places. -The wind blew violently, and it became im-
, .possible to get the flame's under. The project there-
lore Of 'defending the town by any consiJerable body
afialanrry could not be executed. A few tirailleurs
tinge all that could be employed. The enemy, who
bad• no obstacle on his side the river, advanced ra-
'pidly. The bridge•vras'set fire to, but only one side
of it was consumed. From about nine o'clock till
- two • constant tiraillade en-sued, but the flarnes be-
,
cause so general that no more.support could be sent
. to the small party that had defended the town, and
enemy was enabled to effect his passage across
.. tltc remaining part of the bridge. NVhilst this was
passing in the town, Field-Marshal Blucher drew up
his .artny in two lines, in a vast plain on this side the
Lint-, having his cavalry in rots:rye, -and was thus
..prepared to have taken every advantage of the ene-
--ony, had he attempted to push any force across the
river. The view of this preparation, however, inti-
midated him.
The enemy had pushed over three battalions, and
, emending them along the lett bank of the river, began
a very sharp fire, with the apparent design •to cover
the further advance of troops froth the river, when Jse
- was himself :atacked, driven back into the town; and
compelled to recross the broken bridge, leaving se-
veral prisoners and wounded' in our possession : and
at sun-set each army remained at their respective sides
of the town.
' Tne reports of the prisoners state the corps opposed
to have been the 7th and 9th, under the command of
Marshal Qudinot, besides a very large body of ca-
valry. 'Between two and three o'clock in the after-
poem, whilst Field Marshal Blucher was reconnoitring
the enemy's position in the town, he was struck with.,
a musket ball in the leg. It passed through his boot,l
but most fortunately did him no material injury. Co-
lonel Valentine, of the staff, was wounded at the same
moment. -Prince Schubatoff, jun. General of Cos-
sacks, was also wounded during the day. The loss,
however, was in general unimportant—about 220
killed and wounded.
Field Marshal Blucher has bivouacked this night
with his army in the position taken up during the
morning.--1 have the honour to be, dec.

MILITARY REPORT FROM COLONEL LOWE, DATED HEAD-
QUARTERS, ARMY OF SILESIA, FERTE SOUS JOUARII4
LSFI' BANK OF THE MARNE, FEB. 27.
Si —A line I addressed to you on the afternoon of
the 25th will have informed you of the retreat of Mar-
shal Marmont from &ezanne, and of this army being
in pursuit of him, with the intention of following him
on the next day to Ferte Gauchtr. On arrival at
Ferte Gaudier, Field Marshal Blucher learnt that the
I enemy had taken the direction of Rebais, to which
place he followed him, ana halted for the night.—
Marshal Marmont had continued his route to Ferte
Sous Jouarre ; the peasantry represented him to be
flying in disorder, and his troops seeking shelter in the
woods. At Rebais, however, it was learnt that Mar-
shal Mortier, with the Young Guard, had marched
from Chateau Thierry, where he had been some time
in observation of General Winzingerode, to effect a
junction with Marshal Marmont, their joint force
amounting to somewhat between 16 and 20,000 men.
To pass the Marne, therefore, in presence of such a
force, with the probability that Bonaparte, hearing of
the niarch of the army of Silesia in this direction,
would cJetach a force to the rear of it, became an ope-
ration or great delicacy. The following disposition
was made :—the corps of General Baron Sacken and
General Count Langeron were directed to march on
Coulomiers and Chailly, and to pursue their route
this morning towards Meaux. The corps of General
D'Yorck and General Kleist, after halting for the
night at, and in the vicinity of Rebais, were ordered
to march this morning to Ferte Sous Jouarre. Ge-
neral Korf, with a reserve of three thousand cavalry

formed the• rear guard at Ferte Gaudier. The de-
monstration towards Meaux had all the effect desired.
The two French Marshals, who had united their force
at Ferte Sous Jouarre, precipitately abandoned the
town, leaving the river in front of it open to the esta-
blishment of pontoon bridges in every direction. Some
gagers got over in small boats, and took possession
of the town. Had the enemy made his stand in
this point, • Meaux, or Tripoit in the vicinity of it,
would have been that where the passage would have
been effected, this army, by its dispositiens, having
been equally prepared for either.
Two pontoon bridges have been thrown over the
river, and the army is already a cheval on it. The
dispositions for to-morrow will result from the reports
received during the uiht. in the mean time in-
formation'has been received of General Winzingerode
and General Bulow having been about to form a
junction, and it is supposed they are both now near
Soissons. General Winzingerode had detached two
thousand y to Arcis.sur-Aube.
The advanced guard of General Baron Sacken's
corps has occupied the suburbs,of Meaux, on the left
hank of the river, the enemy, it is reported, has aban-
doned the opposite side of the river to Triport, where
General Baron Sacken has at present his head-quar-
ters. Strong cavalry reconnoissances are made on
every point to the rear.-4 have the honour to be, &c.

EXTRACT OP A DISPATCH FROM LORD BURGEtEItsII TO
VISCOUNT CASTLEREAGH, DATED TROYE.i, FEB. 21.

Since I had the honour of addressing your Lord-
ship, General Wittgenstein has quitted the position of
Nogent and Pont-sur-Seine. The enemy, profiting
by the abandonment of these places, has advanced,
his corps to St. Hilaire, where he was in position
during this day. Trainel has also been occupied
by him.
In consequence of these movements, Prince Sch war-
zenberg has ordered.a reconnoissance to be made to-
morrow by the whole of the cavalry of his army, as-
sisted by the cavalry of Marshal Blucher. These
corps will be directed towards the points of. Tuttle',
Hilaire, and Nogent.
Marshal Blucher having arrived at Mery, the'
movement of the cavalry belonging to his army will
be along the great road from that place towards
Nogent.
Information has been this day received, that the
French army assembled near Lyons has commenced
offensive operations. The troops of which it is com-
posed are under the orders of Marshal Augereau,
and amount to about 25,000 men; they have already
advanced to Mason and Bourg.
Prince Schwartzenberg has determined to send the
corps of General Bianchi to oppose this army. The
different corps of Austrians already in the neighbour.
hood of Dijon, will be placed under the orders of
General Bianchi.

The first corps of reserve, under the Prince of
Hesse, already is advance of Basle, will be added to
this army.

DISPATCH FROM LORD BURGHERSH, DATED Il UGH TS IN
FRONT OF ROSSANCOUIt, 27TH I' F.BRUARV, 1814,
SEVEN O'CLOCK, P.
MY LORD—I yesterday had the honour of Worm-
ing you, that after Bar-sur-Aube had been taken pos-
session of by the enemy, it was retaken by the corps
of General Wrede. The town was afterwards again
taken by the French, the suburbs remaining in pos-
session of the Bavarians.
I stated to your Lordship, that it was Prince
Schwartzenberg's intention to attack the enemy this
day, on the road to Vandceuvre. I have now the
satisfaction of reporting to you a victory which he
has obtained. -

In the early part of the morning, Prince Schwan-
zenberg found the enemy in possession of Bar-sur-
Aube, having passed a considerable column on the
heights in the direction of Levigni. The object of
this movement was to envelope the corps of General
Wrede, in positionin rear of the town of Bar-sur Aube.
The corps of General Wittgenstein was as3ernbled,
as I have already informed yoUr. Lordship, in front
of Colombe. Prince Schwartzenberg directed it to
pass in rear of the position occupied by the corps of
General Wrede, and to attack the corps of the enemy
moving towards Levigni, on the right of Gen. Wredc.
General Wittgenstein arrived on the heights on
which he was directed, about twelve p'clock ; the
contest he had to maintain for the possession of them
was most severe.

Prince Schwartzenberg, in many instances himself
directed the attacks of the Russian troops ; in one of
them, I am sorry to inform you he was wounded, I
hope slightly; but in any case the glory of the day
has remained with him.

The French troops have been driven with consi-
derable loss from all their positions on this side of
the Aube. Coon: Pahlen succeeded in doing them
most material injury while passing at the bridge of
Doulancour.
General Wrede has established his advanced guard
at Spay, upon the old road to Vandoeuvre.
Tue enemy appear to have had Marshal Victor's,
Marshal Oudinot's, and part of Marsh.4l M accinald's
corps, engaged in the action of this day ; their loss
has been from two to three thousand men. Their
discomfiture, after the victories of which of late they
have boasted, has been most complete.
The enemy will be pushed to-morrow in the direc-
tion of Vandoeuvre.
The Prince Royal of Wirtemberg and General
Giulay have arrived near Bar•suc-Seine, and will at-
tack that place to-rnorrow.—l have the honour, &e.

EXTRACT OF A DISPATCH FRAM LORD BURGHERS!' TO
VISCOUNT CASTLEREAGH, DATED COLOMBE,
MARCH 1, 1814. _ _

After the capture of Bar on the 27th, and of the
whole position of the enemy on this side the Aube,
Pi ince Schwartzenberg yesterday pursued the French
across that river, and esiaLlished his advanced posts
of cavait y near Magny on the left, and Val Suzenay
on tsie right.
On the evening of the 27th, a report was received
from the Prince Royal of Wirtemberg, the the corps
of Marshal Macdonald was in position at Clairvaux
and La Ferte-sur-Aube.
Prince Schwartzenberg directed the Prince Royal,
notwithstanding, to continue -the movement which
had already been prescribed to him upon Bar-sur-
Seine, and to attack the enemy tither at La Ferte, or
in a nyother situation in which he should find him.
Till the success of this operation was knownePrince
Schwartzeilberg determined not to risk the infantry
of the.corps which had fought in the battle of 4027th,
across the Aube.
This obstacle- has, however, now been removed..—
The Prince Royal succeeded yesterday in driving the
French from their positions.
The corps of General Giulay, which was placed
under his orders, attacked and carried the town of La- •
Ferte. The Prince Royal took possession of Clairvauz.
These succe,ses having been obtained, the two
corps advanced upon Pontette and St. Usage, where
the enemy occupied a position of considerable strength,
but which he abaneloned on the appearance of the
Allies.
The head-quarters of the Prince Royal were yester-
day at Cliampignole ; ho has advanced this day to-
wards Bar-sur-Seine. The result of his operations
upon that place is not yet received.
In a letter from General Tetteaborn, dated the
27th, from Venus, it appears that officer was attacked
on that day by tour thousand of Bonaparte's guards
at Fere Champenoise ; he had retired from that place
to Versus. Bonaparte himself was at Arcis, and a
considerable corps of his army was marching upon
Sezanne.—Upon the receipt of this news, Prince
Schwartzenberg determined to push the corps of Ge-
nerals Wittgenstein and Wrede upon Vandceuvre.
They will arrive at that place tomorrow, and will
afterwards advance upon Troyes.
If the corps of the ,Prince Royal of Wirtemberg
and General Giulay have. succeeded in establishing
themselves this day at Bar-stir-Seine, they will be di-
rected, by the left r3f the Seine, to act also upon Troyes.
I forgot to report to your Lordship, in my last
dispatch, that the.fort of Salines had surrendered to
the Allies.
The corps of General St. Priest is arrived at Vitry-
sur-Marne. General Jago was at Joinville, with or-
ders to join General St. Priest.
A report has just arrived from General Frimont,
detailing the success of an attack he this day made
with the cavalry under his orders upon the rear-guard
of the enemy near Vandceuvre, General Frimont
pushed the enemy beyond that town? and afterwards
established his head-quarters there,

COPENHAGEN, FEBRUARY il.

On . the 18th ultimo, his Majesty issues! a Precis
mation; dated Midtikfort. The begirning of it is is
substance the :aisle as that of the preceding day, con-
taining the Declaration of Denmark against Trance.
This new proclamation, after stating that theAusariai.
mediation, by which Denmark had hoped to °Luis
some abatement of the sacrifices rewind of her. Lae
only prevented, far a short time, the progress of t!.:
enemy into the Duchies, proceeds thus :

" Repeated overtures were nude by us to the Crown Print-
of Sweden, who at the head of a snprrior army, composed et the
troops of several powerful States, continued to Insist oath* ces-
ion of NorwAy, which Sweden's Allies had guaranteed to hits.
Hostilities were renewed. Gluckstadt and Frederick's On were
taken. Not to hazard every thing, it wa► requielte to confuse et.:
defence ckt. gy to Fubnen, whithtr we ordered all the user
that cutthl he spared from ZralanJ. and also tepaired mystic, :a
be -,carer the scene of action, and the negotiations.
" A fanewal of the negotiations again averted the attack the.
appreacheci the frontiers of Jutland. It was not possible to pre.
vent this province from being overrun by a superior fort,; alai
if it became, likethe Duchies, the seat of war, we were witch)
deprived of the means of tending corn to Nonvq. The Important
moment was now come to decide respecting peace, or the coon-
mutton of the war. Never was a country tn a more critical
situation than Deamark— rut off from Norway, and opposed AL
to !..) many pbwerful foe:pies; and iiever bad a Prince a more
difficult duty, than to make a choke under these circumstances.
Had the matter concerned Os alone, or bad it been merely neces-
sary to•meet an Imminent danger, if we could have hoped to
obtain a happy issue, even by the most terrible conflict, we should
not have hesitated, for we knew the courageous sentiments of
our troops and of our people, and knew what the tatter, shout+
exhausted by a long war, were ready to sutler and to sacrifice fir
us and the country, if we called on them. But under such cir-
cumstances we could not risk the dissolution of the whuk Mu-

narehy, nor require a faithful people to shed its blood in an
unequal contest, most probably to promote the reverse of the
object in view.
" But the result of the -contest was not the only frond of i,ur
determination. Norway would be exposed to the most dreadft.l
famine, if Jutland became the seat of war, and Norway were de-
prived of all supptes from that side. According to the rep..ris
which we had already received front credible and well-Intl:mu'
'persons, not a fourth part of the corn necessary to supply Norway
nett Autumn, .had been with extreme danger and loss
sent over to that country. Even our means cat sealing cern
thisistr were no longer sufficient ; not a fourth part of the vessels
that might formerly have been employed ior that. purpose was
now in the Danish ports; the rest, with their cargoes, had
a prey.. 'The efforts which Denmark had coo rued to make we:
insupportable ; they had already cost mamy millions. A
part of the cultivated lands in Norway had not been sown la>:
yez, for want of seed-corn. The seed time tor this year a;,.
proached, and required a consignment of several hundred thua-
rand tons of corn All supply from foreign ports in the North a
bomb was imposible, on account of the blockade. 1 u expose
Norway again this year to want seed-corn, would have ben a
ruinous measure, the consequences of which would have been
incalculable; for it the production of corn to Norway were to be
annually lessened or obstruesed in such a high degree, and tie
exportation of the products of this kingdom were impeded, the
whole circulating property of the State would net snake to pur-
chase bread-corn for it, even had It been possible to get it sent
thither. •
" We believed that we could not justify ourselves, either be-
fore Goo or man, if we exposed a noble nation to a misfortune
which exceeds every sober, and width even the sword meld not
have averted, even it surrounded by our brave troops, according
to their wish, and that of all our subjects, we ha.. engaged in the
contest, not with one, but with many combined enrollee, far su-
perior
.in strength. The force already opposed to us, and that
which might still be opposed to us, was not to be calculated.
Even a victory could nut save the Whole; and defeat would rave
brought on greater evils, and rendered all farther nticiciatioas
Impossible.
" In such a desperate situation, which a tedious defensive war,
and at last the universal all-devouring flame of war which has
spread over Europe has occasioned, and which In men atom-
dinary adverse circumstances, all our care for the welfare of oar
faithful subjects has not been able to avert, we have been com-
pelled to embrace the only means which presented itself to save
Norway from famine, while Denmark, contending against a
superior force, bore alone the burden of the contest, and was ex-
posed to its consequences. Under the pressure of this concur-
rence of unhappy evenu; we have been obliged to cede to the
Swedish Crown the right of the kingdom of Norway, which we
inherited from our ancestors.
" We refrain from describing the melancholy feting& with
which we are penetrated at this violentedissolutioa of the bead of
union between the two kingdents. Every Dane, every Norwe-
gian, will judge of them by his own. The late of Empires is in
the hand as Providence.
" During the seven years that the conflict has lasted, we have
neglected nothing to preserve the bond which was made sacred
by the lapse of so many centuries, and by the fidelity us the Nor-
wegians. The first injury it received was when the state was
deprived of Its fleet, and with that of the means of enabling one
kingdom to assist the other. The combinuatiou of all the
Powers that surround the monarchy has promoted the violeot
dissolution.
" We have, however, provided, that under the Government
erach takepOSlX place, every inhabitant of Norway, accoAlini•te
his rank and condition, shall enjoy and preserve the rights and
privileges which he now possesses.
" We never can, never will, forget the loyalty and attachment
to us and our house, of which the noble people of Norway, at all
times, and under all circumstances, have given such affecting
proofs. So long as loyalty shall be hold a virtue in nations, 03
long will the Nonvegians be mined as thou, who equalled or
surpassed every other in the practice of this virtue.
" We and our ancestors have ever governed Norway with pa-
ternal regard. in the litter years of *stress, Denmark willing,/
gave the corn which its Norwegian brethren were in want of.
" It Is our most sincemisrayer, that happiness and prosperlty
may, to most distant ages, be the lot of the brave and generous
Norwegian people. (Signed) "

BREMEN, FEBRUARY 25.
On the 20th instant 350 more of the inhabitants of
Eamburgh were expelled. We learn with pleasure
from these new victims, that the epidemical disorder
in l-tamburgh prevails only among the military, and
not, as was feared, among.the inhabitants ; of the for-
mer an hundred are often buried in one day.
General Vandamme, it is said, who is now- con-
fined in the Kremlin, was to have been sent to Sibe-

rig. To avoid this fate, he proposed to a Russian
Nobleman, if they would spare him this journey, and
leave him a pact of his estates in France, to make a
discovery of great importance to the Ames. The
Russian Government refused to give him a hearing.
Vandamme, it is said, renewed the offer, on which a

person was sent to him, to whom he might confide the
secret. This secret, it is affirmed, was, that Napoleon
had placed the sum of 350 millions of franis;fromthe
treasures amassed in Germany, in the Bank of Eng-
land, at the same time mentioning all the mercantile
houses in whose names this money was vested.

The Gazette of last night contains the highly gra_
!lying details from France, of which we gave an

accurate sketch yesterday. The movements of the
Silesian Army are again detailed by that masterly
historiographer Colonel LowE. _ They are precisely
of the character which might be expected from the
transcendent military talents by which the Veteran
BLUCHZR is distinguished. Nor has Prince SCIIWAKT-
UNSER° been at all wanting in his duty to the great

and glorious cause in which he is engaged. It seems
Marshal &mum, in the first instance, continued his
retreat till be found ..--14nNAPARTR had advanced to a
considerable distance, following Prince SCIIWART.
ATRIUM% and then he again put kis army in march
towards Meaux, crossing the Marne on the 28th ult.
Cleneral SAcars having on the preceding day occu.
pied the suburbs of Meaux, and Wilma and Man-
unwr being too weak to give any effectual opposition.
trince SCITWARTZRNBIR4I, in the mean time, continued
retreating until BOXAPARTR found it necessary to
turn, in order to march against &wren, and then
the Prince again advanced his imp towards Troyes.
,t was in the course of this retreat. that the action
took place at Bar-sur•Aube, on the 27th. This
place was occupied by the enemy on the preceding
day, but who were driven out of it shortly afterwards
st the point of the bayonet, by General WRFDE.—
On the 27th it was again taken by the enemy, whom
t ;ereral WITTORNSTRIN was ordered to attack Prince
SenwAnTzeNseno frequently directed the movements
of the Russian troops, and eras himself slightly
wounded. The result was, that the French were
driven from all their positions, .with.tbe-loss of be-
tween two and three thousand men. On the Ist inst.
the enemy were pursued across the Aube, and the
Allied advanced posts established at Magny on the',
left of that river, and at Val Suzenay, on the right.
"l'he Prince ROyal of WHITRNIBURG also drove MAC-
.
IMVALD from Clarivaux and Ferte-sur-Aube, and
advanced to Pontette and St. Usage, which the enemy
ahandoned. The head-quarters of this part of the

allied fore. were mobil:ha at Bar-our-Seine ; and
WITTGENSTEIN and Waioe were pushed upon Van-
Oeuvres, in order to act in conjuction with the Prince
'loyal of WIRTENEURO and General.GroLaY upon
Prince SCHWARTZENBERG was thus again recover-
kg his ground, whilst BONAPARTE had gone with the
main body of his army to Arcis, and was marching
a considerable corps upon Sezanne, in order to coun-
teract the movements of BLUCHER. It will be seen,
therefore, that the two armies of Prince SCHWA RTZEN-
BERG and BLUCHER are in fact acting in combination,
although upon different lines of operation, and that
Box arairre is in some measure placed in a situation
limilAr to that in which he found himself at Dresden'
by being compelled to march alternately against
each, without being enabled, as it seems, in the mean
time, to leave a force sufficient to prevent the ad-
vance 1.4 e other.
The ies, it is true, have not yet reached Paris,
as were, perhaps, too sanguinely expected by some
persons ; but, on the other hand, BONAPARTE has in
his turn been unsuccessful in his attempts to break'or
separate their armies, or to prevent them from again
advancing in different lines of operation, and he is
compelled to resort to the most harassing movements
from point to point, in order to save the capital.—
Btactrea, till his reinforcements came up, would pro-
bably retreat on the approach of BONAPARTE, and the
latter would then have to march again to encounter
the advance of SCUWARTZENBERG. The silence of
the Paris Papers to the 6th, proves that at least for
two or three days subsequent to the date of the dis-
patches, the enemy had nothing to boast of.
One thing may with certainty be inferred
from a compiaison of our own official accounts with
those furnished by the enemy; namely, that no Ar-
mistice had been solicited by the Anstrians. Such a
circumstance could hardly have been passed over in
silence in the former, had it occurred, and we may
thence infer that the statement was intended to an-
swer some temporary purpose of the enemy. We re-
collect that at the time of the battle of Botzen, a
similar falsehood was published in the Monitear, which
was afterwards officially contradicted 'by Prussia.
That the enemy should find it necessary to have re-
course to such expedients may be held as an indica-
tion of his want of success in the expected result of
some of iris movements, and an admission of the su-
perior tactics of the Allies.
We again repeat it—all that is known, up to this
moment, of the relative state of the contending ar-
mies, is favourable to the hopes of suffering humanity.
And we may be allowed to add, that, though we do
not believe the Allied Powers ever to have laid it
down as a principle, that the occupation of Paris
should precede any pacification ; so, on the other,
hand, we are equally satisfied that it never was pro.
pnsed by any one of the Allies that, in the event of
circumstances giving them the power to occupy
that city, they should not avail themselves of it.
—That this event may take place, is, we think, very
possible ; for the situation of BONAPARTE, placed be-
tween two large armies, in full operation, with rein-,
forcements in their rear, is highly perilous.—What a
triumph would it be to annihilate entirely the power
of such a restless despot 1 but we are backward to ex•
cite hopes which may not be realised to such an ex-
tent as this. We may, however, indulge the expec-
tation that, at any rate, his power to disturb other
countries for years to come, will be taken away.
If we might credit reports from Dover this day,
the contest may be considered as near a close.—
One letter which we have seen, written last night,
says—" We are in hourly expectation of a Messenger
" from the other side. The private news this
" evening is, that the Allies have, got to Paris. Pray
" GOD it may be true."

We can only add, that, though we cannot vouch
for the truth of the news, the letter comes from a
most respectable quarter.
Another circumstance which we shall state may
possibly he received as favourable to the hopes of
an approaching pacification:—Last night tiotice was
given from some of the Government Offices to sus-
pend certain contracts for sail-cloth ; and, if we are
rightly informed, some of the contracts for clothing.

An arrangement has been made by means of
which, information from the Head-quarters of the
Allies in France will in future be received direct
from Ostend. It is some time since the Litter place
was occupied by detached parties of the allied troops.

Dutch Papers to the sth instant, and also German
Papers, have reached town. Amongst other extracts
,is an article from Schaffhausen, stating as a re-
port that the BOURBON Princes, on arriving at Basle,
had applied for passports to proceed to the head-quar-
ters of the Allies, but had been refused, and that the
circulation of the Proclamation of Louis XVIII.
addressed to the French people, had been forbidden.
A curious sorry is related of VANDAMME, who it is
le
stated, in order to save himself from being sent to
:-ibrria, had offered to make important discoveries;
and that the result was a disclosure that BONAPARTZ
had placed a sum amounting to 350,000,000 francs
in the Bank of England, and a description of all do
mercantile houses in whose names the money was
invested. We are not told whether VANDAP4M4 by
means of this tale, prevented his threatened b"
ment to Siberia.
