Paris Papers to the 3d instant have arrived, but
they contain no distinct account of any victory over
the Allies, at least no account to which we can give
any credit. The Moniteur, it must be observed, does
not say a word of any victories, and the minor Jour•
nals furnish but very vague accounts of military
movements.

On comparing the various articles dated from dif-
ferent towns on the Seine and the Aube, we find
them quite inconsistent with each other, as tar the
supposed movements of BONAPARTE, and as to the
.success which has attended them. From Chalons we
are told that he is marching to the southward and
eastward, upon Joinville and Bar-sur-Ornain ; from
Nogent we hear, that he has turned the enemy's main
body to the westward, upon Brienne, and there de-
feated it, with the loss of 15,000 men, whilst from
Provins they write, that the victory was gained at
Joinville, and the prisoners were in number 2000.
The truth we take to be, that the advanced de-
tachments of the Allies, which were spread over a
great extent of country, had been necessarily called
in, as soon as BONAPARTE advanced in force ; and
in draw...* ig them together, it is very probable that
some of them may have come in contact with the
enemy ; the consequence of which may have been,
in the words of the Moniteur, " a pre t action"
or two. The Parisians, however ought
it was high time that the C. • stop-
ped in their career ; since we tremen-
dous visitors bad appeared wi s sof Paris,
at the town of Sens, and cau uch alarm there
that even the Sub-Prefect left the place. This worthy
Gentleman of coursikhas incurred no small degree of
censure; but he unite outdone by the Mayor of
Arcis, who writes to the, Mayor of Sens, 4, to receive
the Cossacks well, as they only desired peace !".
Such is the enthusiasm which prevails throughout
France for the honour of the Emperor ! Such the
zeal to preserve him from the indignity of sitting on
a dishonoured throne! The towns here noticed are on
the banks of the different rivers which flow on, to
Paris, through a country entirely open, presenting no
obstacle. to an enterprising enemy, and within two
days ride to a party of Cossacks.

Lord WELLINGTON'S Dispatches, as we mentioned
yesterday, are of the 21st ultimo,. to which date no-
thing of importance, in a military point of view, had
lately taken place. Our private letters from Passages
are of the 24th, and contain some curious particulars
illustrative of the zeal and finesse of the enemy,
when force is found inadequate to the attainment of
his object. The writer of the following letter has the
best means of information :

" PASSAGES, JANUARY 24.
" Though no active operations have of late been,
going on, the enemy has not been idle. BONAPARTE,
beaten every where in the field when his troops meet
as, has had his emissaries at work against us. In
Spain they have been very busy, sowing dissention
between the British and Spaniards, and in many
places have succeeded with that timid and jealous
people. We know likewise, that he has been tam.
pering with many of the Spanish Chiefs: some of
them have nobly come forward and stated his over-
tures to Lord WELLINGTON, exposing much Machia-
velian policy. A few days ago SOULT sent in an
Officer to General Mottruo, who commands a divi-
sion of the Spanish army which is posted to the right,
stating, that he had received the orders of the Em-
peror not, on any account, to fire on, or molest the
Spaniards, unless attacked and requiring reciprocity,
for that they had a high respect for the Spanish cha-
racter, &c. &c.

" Amu.° bluffly desired him to go back and
tell SOULT and his Emperor, that he was determined'
to continue acting as he had done, and that he would
kill and destroy Frenchmen wherever he could find'
them. He desired him further to say, that he would
continue acting in this manner even had he brought
him an order from the Coitez, for 'that he knew no
other orders than those of the Duke of CIUDAD ROD-
RIGO (WILLINUTON).
" The moment the weather will permit and the
roads are open, bridges will be thrown over the
Adour, and we will be at them—that is to say, if you
send us out sufficient reinforcements; a reverse now
wcaild knock up the British lines here.

" Colonel ELPHINISTON, the chief Engineer, and
Sir G. COLLIER, the chief Naval Officer, are daily on
the banks of the Adour, and receiving the orders of
the Marquis, who is out daily reconnoitring."

MORE VICTORIES IN CANADA.

We hare received Halifax tip-ers to the Pith of
January, conta;ning intelligence of the highest impor-
tance. They contain a report, which we have no
doubt will be speedily confirmed, of the total c:tfeat
of another American army, under the comm And (if
General WILKINSON. It is furnished to us in two s.a. 1
parate articles from Halifax and New Brtuisveick :

" HALIFAX, JANUARY 8.
" Good News, if true.,—A young Gentleman who
arrived in town yesterday afternoon, from New
Brunswick, informs us, that previous to his leaving
that city, he read an American paper just received
through Eastport, which stated, that the whole Ameri-
can Army had keen surrounded and taken near the Four-
Corners."

" ST. JOHN'S, NEW BRUNSWICK. DEC. 31.
" This morning we have a report, in a Boston pa-
per ot the 20th inst. that WILKINSON's army has been
surprised in. their encampment, and cut up, by our
forces from Montreal, Etc. The report, although
not confirmed when the paper left Boston, was gene-
rally credited.

" We may momently expect further tidings on this
subject. In Boston papers of the 13th, the American
accounts from the frontiers of Canada, appeared to
apprehend such an event. We will hope for the con.
firmation of this report before next vessel may get
away."

A Letter quoted in the Halifax Paper, from an
Officer in the United States frigate Congress, dated
Portsmouth,l2th December, states the arrival of that
vessel at Portsmouth, after an unsuccessful cruize, in
which only four captures were made.
