kiE4GSBOURHOOD AF 4.NTWERP, ;IL

Notwithstanding what has been stated, the euegy
is not yet completely blockaded by the forces now
this city, and the cause is the impediment; which
have been occasioned by alte severity of the season.
On account of this obstruction the garrison hat bees
enabled to receive down the Scheldt, without much
interruption, some important articles of supply hod'
of ammunition and provisions.
A gallant affair has taken One between a body
of Cossacks and a party of the enemy. consisting of
about SOO men, who were escorting into the city a
quantity of corn. The Cossacks took ten waggons
laden with grain, made some prisoners, killed a con.

Yesterday, as our Paper was going to press, we
received an authentic' letter from Paris, from which
we gave an extract, which stated the important fact
of the arrival of the Allies at iselt!allx, twenty-five
miles from the Frctich Capital. In the course of
tae afternoon we had the Jatis cti on to confirm this
intelligence upon official authority. Our Second
Edit en announced the arrival of Me,srs. Roaissos
.tad jay, in Downing-street, from the Head-quar-
tos in 2rance, and I‘,•e added such particulars of the
intelligence brought by them as our time andlmits
neraiitted. At a tate hour in the evening the follow-
ing Bulletin was issued by Government, which con-
tains snore ample details ; •

" FOREIGN-OFFICE, MARCH 7.
gc Dibpatales have seen received from Lord CAS-
su.axAGil, I.ttxd Chaumont, the 31 instant.

It appears tti4t after Prince gC}IWARTZeNBEKG
Lad determined to retire ,from Troyes, Marshal
BLUCHEit was attacked by a strong corps of the ene-

Illy at Thierry, when an accidental fire hiving broke

but in ele quarter of the town he occupied, he was
, forced to Abandon it, and to form at a short distance
from it in the plain. The enemy passed over his ad-
v-ance.i•guard with a view to commence an attack,
but rai driven back through the town with loss.—
. Marshal BLUCHER then marched with his army upon
Sezinne t attack the corps of Marshvil MARNIONT,
vhicn he drove across the Marne; and having sent
his light troops into Meaux, he so alarmed MARMONT

his

that he cinitted Ferte-suus-Jouan-e, in which he had
retreated, and enabled Marshal &mum to pass the
Maine at that place. The Marshal was in comma.
ration w:th General WIRZINGERODE. Gen. BULOw
was advancing to join them. MARMONT had been
joined by Marshal MORTIEIt, and their joint forces
amounted to from 16 to '20,000 men. During these
operation's BoNAPARTE had endeavoured to force the
positions on•the Aube. The enemy had obtained
possession of Bar-sur-Aube, and had taken positions
in its front, when Prince SOHWARTZENDERS determinj
ed &attack him, and after a well-contested action
drove him from all his positions, and through the
town of .Bar-sur-Aube, with the loss of 3000 men.
" In consequence of this advantage, Prince
SCHWARTZ-ENDERS determined to drive the enemy from
Clairvauz Fontelle, and S. Usage, which was effected.
" Intelligence being received that BONAPARTE was
marching with part of his army on Sezanne, to act
against Marshal BLUCHER, Prince SCHWARTZENRERO
had ordered an immediate advance upon Troyes.
•• It is understood that BONAPARTE, leaving 45,000
cm the line of Troyes, had marched with the rest of
his army against Marshal BLUC.HEn ; but there was
every reason to hope that the Marshal would he able
to form a junction with WINZINGERODE., &LOW, and
WoRONZuW.
" The corps of _Sr. PntrsT was arrived at Vitry.
General Sr. JAGo was to join. him. from Joinville.—
General FRIMoNT, on the Ist, attacked the enemy's
rear.gnard, and overthrew it near Vandceuvre, where
he established his head-quarters.
" A force had been ordered to reinforce General
Bask ; and Gcneral BlANcill'S corps was ordered
upon Dijon. .
" The Plenipotentiaries remain at Chatillon.V

To the above we have to add some farther interei
ting particulars :
No Armistice—no suspension of hostilities what-
ever had been even mentioned when the Messengers
left Chaumont on the 2.1 instant. Another proof, if
proofs were wanting of the shameless disregard of
troth which characterises the French Journalists. The
silly inhabitants of Paris seem to havldiscovered this
trick of the Armistice within a few hours, if we may
judge from the fall in the French Funds.
Reinforcements to the Allies are daily coming up,
athl more than 50,000 Hungarians have joined the
Grand Austrian Army under SCIIWARTZBNBERG.—
The CROWN PaiNce of SWEDEN, whose name is a
tower of strength to the Allied cause, has also arrived
at Head-quarters with his Staff and a body-guard of
cavalry : his army was a few marches behind.
The Hon. Mr. ROBINSON was expected to arrive at
Chatillon on the 3d iwtant, the messengers Kit and
ROBINSON having passed him on their route. _

Paris Papers to the 6th instant have also reached
os : their comparative silence on the subject of mili-
tary events amply bear us out in concluding that the
affairs of &samara, notwithstanding his boasted
victories, are almost desperate. The different corps
we are now told are employed in. !, grand ma-
nceuvres." This is somewhat like the magnanimous
silence" in which the Emperor prepared for his re-
cent victories.. But for these grand manceuvres his
soldiers seem to have no appetite, for a General Or-
der, issued at Paris on the 22d ult. calls upon the
Mayors, Prefects, and gens d'armes to arrest all strag-
glers, " 'what( ver 5: their rani in the army." The inha-
bitants of Paris are told that Rouen is safe from any
attack, and that Doulens has been deli vered•from the

Cossacks: Not a a word, however, of their arrival
at Meaux ! We learn, however, that MAaMoNT has
defeated the Allies at Lusy-sur-Ourcq, just thirty-four
miles off.

On thc whole the positive intelligence from the
Allied Army and the silence of the French Papers
respecting recent operations, furnish grounds fot sober
exultation and a well grounded hope that the enemy
may be compelled to accept reasonable conditions of
Peace, and to give such securities as the case admits
of, that he will not disturb the trdnquillity of other
countries. As we are not of the number of those
who would exact impossilrilities franc the men to
whom the direction of public affairs is intrusted,
neither would we be found joining with those who
undervalue their exertitms and the success of their
measures. The advantages that have been gained
'are of the greatest importance, and should teach
those individuals who take upon them to arraign and
judge the measures of the allied Powers and the ho-
nour and integrity of some of the high crlitracting
parties, to be less hasty in their censures. Sober men
must view such conduct as the height of arrogance,
and by this time the public must wonder at the im.
becility of those who would judge of the possible re-
sults of mighty arrangements by the casualties of a
single day or a week.

Ile-accounts before us Most completely falsifrall
the foul calumnies that have been vented against a
Power which has done so much for the great cause
in which all are embarked. And we may add, that
it should be considered a great blessing that the men
who are thus brought daily to the bar of the diurnal
press, exhibit a degree of temper very different from
their self-appointed judges: but for this steadiness,
we should not now have had to congratulate the
country on the fair prospects before us.

A Dut‘h Mail arrived this morning. From Hol-
land itself we have sot received much intelligence of
importance, but from the Banks of the Rhine the
accounts are highly animating. The Allies are pour-
ing into France from all parts of Germany, and the
best understanding prevails among the Military
Leaders of all nations.

The above Mail was brought to Harwich by the
.Xing George Packet, from Helvoetsluys. A Mes-
senger also arrived by this packet, with duplicates of
the dispatches from Lords CASTLEREAGH and
BtTucxßum, noticed in the Bulletin issued by Go-
vernment.

" HELVOETSLUYS, MARCH 6.

gg By accounts received from the Hague, it ap-
pears that another battle has been fought between the
Allies and Bonaparte, near Bar-sur-Aube, on the
26th of February, in which 'the French were com-
pletely defeated, with the loss of 10,000 prisoners,
and 60 pieces of cannon."

" COLOGNE, FEBRUARY 23.
" His Royal Highness the CroWn Prince of Sweden
is still remaining in this city, and his departure does
not as yet appear to be axed. The well-known Saxon
General Thielman is likewise expected here.

" Besides the Swedish troops which were to cross
the Rhine at this place, another column of 10,0u0
men are to pass it at Dusseldorff. But the Rhine is
it present so full of ice, that it has been necessary to
take away the draw-bridges, for which cause the pas-
sage would be very difficult, and even impracticable
for a body of troops at this moment."

" CARLSRUHE, FEB. 17.

Ii According to-official intelligence received from
the head-quarters of Lieutenant-General Count vcn
liochberzT, and dated from Obenhausbergen, of the
12th instant, the garrisons of Strasburg, Kehl, and
Landau, hid made several sallies. in the course of
this month, and were always driven back by the va-
lour of the Russian and Baden troops, forming the
siege of those Places, under the command of that
General.

- •

" In the engagements which have taken place
near Strasburg, our Landwehr, and especially the
6th and Bth battalions, have particularly distinguish_
themselves."

" LAUFFEN, FEBRUARY 6.

" The reinforcements destined for the Allied Army
have been not only very speedily collected, but like-
wise put in motion and advanced forwards. An en-
tirely new Austrian army of reserve has lately passed
through this place. Yesterday the last column of it
left this place. Their march is brought up by a re-
giment of dragoons, under the hereditary Grand
Duke of Wurzburg. This army, which is comman-
ded-by the Field Marshal Lieutenant Von Boyer as
Cornmander-in.Chief, and under him by the Major-
Generals Von Wartensleben and Marquilicote, consists
of .50 Staff Officers, 400 Officers, 16,885 privates,
and 9591 horses.
" We learn that the Swedes have been received
with the greatest joy in Norway, and that the Norwe-
gian army has already taken the oath of fidelity to
Sweden. Eight hundred Danish prisoners of war
have already been armed at Stralsund, and do duty
at the ports together with the English and Swedes."
" BRUSSELS, FEBRUARY 24.

a We learn from Ghent, under date of the 21st
instant, that Major Smith and four other English
military Officers, had arrived there three days before
fromTermonde, with a Commissary from the Allied
Army ; which it is thought is concerning the expected
arrival of an English and - Hanoverian corps a
Blankenburg and Newport."

the inhabitants of the last-mentioned place baying
fired upon the Cossacks, they have been treated Ac-
cording to the laws of war. Ypres is summoned and
besieged, and there h no doubt but that this fortress
will Soon surrender.
•6 The garrison consists ofla small body of national
guards and 4.00 troops of the line, of whic'i about 100
deserted immediately on the approach of the Allies.
It is true that it has 60 pieces of artillery mounted
on the walls, but it wants a sufficient quantity of
warlike stores. The same may be said of Ostend
and Nieuport.
" On the left side of our frontiers, General Bulow
has already placed his troops close under Valencienue:,
and Maubeuge, sending foraging parties as far as
Cambray.

" The Russian troops which have arrired at Na-
mur, and sshich form the van-guard of the Crown
Prince of Sweden's army, have immediately moved
from thence, for the pm pose of marching farther up
al,,ng the Maese, and join the corps under General
Winzingerocte in Champagne.
" It is asserted that the garrison of Luxembourg,'
consists of scarcely 2000 Men, three-fourths of which
are discontented National Gu trds. Some distur-
bances having taken place among the garri•,on, seve-
ral persons have been very severely punished.
4g 'There ate likewise reports circulating alma ne-
gociations being on foot for the surrender of that
int-
portant fortress.

" The Governor of Antwerp has again caused a
number of the inhabitants, who were not able to pro-
vide themselves with provisions, to quit that city :
,other respectable inhabitants have b.!en sent on board
the fleet, as hostages for payment of the contributions
which are levied on their fellow-citizens with unex-
ampled severity.

" The passage of troops through this city conti-
nues without interruptive. A great number of Saxons
have arrived here to-day again, who are shortly to be
followed by others, as likewise by Wirtembergers—
which last, it is said, will remain here for some time.

" Several barracks are putting in readiness in this
city, to quarter the Belgian regiments in, which are

new raising.

The officers for the first regiment are already ap-
pointed, and we daily see numbers of military men,
natives of this country, arrive here, who have for-
saken the French coloUrs, to serve under the banners
of their native land. The Provincial Government ot
Belgium is now definitively organized ; all native-
born Frenchmen are left out of employ.
" According to a disposition made by the Gover-
nor-General, all public Functionaries, as advocates,
avowers, &c. must give in their oath of allegiance to
the, high Allied Powers, in writing, in deficiency
whereof, they will be replaced by others.
a Several officers belonging to the general staff of
tie Crown Prince of Sweden have arrived in this city.
" BRUSSELS, FEB. 28.
" His Serene Highness the Prince of Saxe Weimar
is returned again to this city.
" The garrison of Soissons, which were made pri-
sthiers, and are about 2,500 or 5,000 strong, have
now arrived in this city. These men are in a de-
piorable condition.

66 According to accounts from Laon of the "3d,
it appears that the corps undcr Gen. Winzingerotic

Is in direct connectica with :hot under Gen. Bulcw.

" It is reported that Generjr Bear:old, who with
a corps of French. troops had marched against Sois-
sons, has been defeated, and that Soissons has again
fallen ioto the hands of the Allies.
" Intelligence from the frontiers, dated the 2. 6111
instant, state that General Nlaison had left Lisle with
a part of his corps, and taken the road to St. Omer."
" THE +LAGUE, MARCH 1.
"To-morrow Count 111 ELAND will leave this country
for England. He goes, it is said, on the part of his
Royal Highness the Hereditary PRINCE of ORANGE
to propose for her Royal Plighness the PioNcEss
CHARLOTTE of WALES.

We do not understand that any later intelligence
has reached Government than that mentioned in the
Bulletin ; but, after this Paper was at press, a re-
port reached us from the City, that the Allies were
advancing upon Paris in Four Grand Divisions,
and that no doubts are now entertained of their oc-
cupying the French Capital.— It. is possible, however,
that this report may rest on no authority.

BREAD.—No alteration in the price this week.—
The Qua' tern Loaf One Shilling and a Halfpenny.
There are now sixteen Gottenhurgh Mails due;
and all those sent from this country subsequent to the
14th of December have been returmed, in consequence
of the ice blocking up the navigation of the Categat
;:nd Baltic. The iatercourse with the North of Eu-
rope by sea is not expected to be opentd before the
Ist of April.
On Sunday last the Anniversary Sermon for the
benefit of the EASTERN DISPENSARY was preAched at '
St. Ann's, Limehouse, by the Rev. C. AV. I.i Bas.
It was the production of a learned elegant mind, and
proved its worth by promoting a very liberal sub.
scription in aid of the Charity. We tinderstand thaw
hi; Royal Highness the Duke of KENT, the Patron,
will attend the Festival to-morrow, and that the Vice-
Presidents, Friends, and Governors of the Charity,
will also attend. The Committee and Stewards fm
the occasion are making every arrangement for the.
accommodation of the party ; and, with the additit n
of the Band of his Royal Highness to the vocal
corps, we think the day will not pass without the
same satisfaction and delight to all parties as hereto-
sore. •
