HAGUE, MARCH 23.
i'aishal Blucher published, on the 13th, at Laoit,
following Proclamation :

NIARSIIAL V'ON BLUCHER TO THE i'RENCH.
Frenchmen !—Your own preservation induces
)ice more to address you.

Attempts are made to mislead you by procla-1
r tv., which try to persuade you that we have no
..hject than to desolate and to divide France ;
;•:; t'v lying accounts of advantages which it is pre-
that the French troops have gained.
it enough to recal to mind the conduct of our
•:. n and the conduct of yours, to contemplate
:1 , oassed in Germany, Spain, Italy, Switzer-
. Holland, and to see that our armies are at
• •.. inc...• numerous and finer than ever, to know
tinkv:,rti 1y your credulity is constantly abused.
In yrtiAr to judge of the events of the war, you
Lave to enquire of the inhabitants of Laon, con-
c, reing what happened on the 9th and 10th of this
menth, on which days the French army, commanded
by the Emperor Napoleon in person, was totally de-
feated under the walls of that town ; ask them if they
did not see the army fly before our victorious troops ;
if they have not seen the trophies of our victory, con-
risting of 50 pieces of cannon, of numerous caissons,
and some thousand prisoners ? And it was, besides,
rill; a part of the army entrusted to my command
eliA gained this decisive victory, while another part
made themselves masters of St. Quentin, where they
took 15 pieces of brass cannon, and while the grand
army, after having on the 3d and 4th defeated near
Troyes, the corps opposed to it, is advancing on the
ether tide towards your capital.
" Do not, then, be so blind as farther to listen to
the promises, the deceptions, the instigations of a Go-
vernment, whose only object is to arm you against
lie to ptulotig the war at the expense of the last drop
of your blood, and of the property of all of you.
" Excesses have been committed by our soldiers;
this pi oceeded from a sentiment of revenge which
they Lnerisiled, because several of their comrades had
been murdered by the inhabitants. T have, however,
tep7essed them. I have had the guilty punished, even
with death ; but reflect, that there is no more certain
means to prevent the excesses of the soldiery, than to
remain quietly in your houses; not to shut your doors,
which are then of necessity forced open ; and, above
all, not to keep up any communication with our ene-
mies, or take up arms against as.
" I have not punished, as I might have done, the
cruelties c,mmitted by some towns and villages
against couritcs and single soldiers of the Allied
army, hoping that afiy moderation would call them
back to their duty. But I inform you, that from this
day stronger measures shall be adopted ; and that
the towns and villages whose inhabitants shall dare
to take up arms against our troops, or to oppose our
military operations, shall be burnt, painful as it will
be to me to be compelled in this Manner to punish the
innocent with the guilty.
44 We desire nothing else, I repeat it to you, than
the peace and repose of Europe. The negotiations
at Chatillon, when they are once published, will con-
vince you, that it •is your Sovereign alone who, in
spite of what he says to.you, continually throws fresh
obstacles in the way : mean time, I need only re-
mind
.you of the celebrated speech which a French-
man (Mr. Raynoilard) made to the Legislative Body,
to found your opinion upon it.
" For the rest, all the nations of Europe combat
for one end. The event cannot be doubtful. A lon-
• ger resistance, and even some advantages, if you may
flatter yourselves with them, will serve merely to ren-
der you more 'Unhappy than you already are.

1814, (Signed) 44 VON BLUCHER."
BRUSSELS, MARCH 21.

An Officer who left the head-quarters or Marshal
tlucher on the 17th instant, as courier, with dis-
patches for the Crown Prince of Sweden, has this
day passed through here on his way to Liege. He
states, that on the 14th, 15:h, and 16th, the Allies
had taken up their former positions, and even got
possession of the imperial Palace of Compiegne..=
Tvlean while important events were expected to take place
on the 17th, and the more so as it was learnt that the
main army, under Prince Schwartzenberg, had ad-
vanced, for the purpose of proceeding in its opera-
tions in conjunction with Marshal Blucher. It appears
certain that the whole army of the Crown Prince of
Sweden is destined to Champagne.
General Thielman,. with his corps, 6000 strong, is
arrived at Tournay ; this and some other reinforce-
ments are destined to join the great military opera-
tions on our borders.
General Maison is employed in watching the
movements of these troops.
The sally made by the garrison of Antwerp, on
the 17th, proved very destructive to it ; they lost up-
wards of 600 prisoners.
The High Allies have nominated General Murray
to be Commander in Chief of the Belgian tropps.
GENEVA, MARCH O.
For the last eight or ten days, there has been fight-
ing, as may be said, without interruption, in the vici-
nity of our city; but these engagements, though very
bloody, have not been decisive. The enemy has
summoned Geneva, hut has received a negative an-
swer. The reinforcements are proceeding by forced
marches, and it appears, that the danger is in the
mean while gone past. According to intelligence re-
ceived here, it appears that the Austrian Colonel,
Count de Linanges, entered lions le Saulnier on the
7th, and directs his march on St. Amour sur Bourg :
lie is followed on the same route, by the corps of the
General of Cavalry, Prince of Hesse Homburg,whilst
,I,r,;atenant Field-Marshal Bianchi moves forward by
Amending the Saone by Tournus, on Macon. In
conformity with these movements, Count de Bubna
}gas sent a column into the mountains of Bonneville ;
from thence it will move on Annecy, and threaten to
4,ut off the enemy's road by the bridge of Rumilly. By
,weans of these operations, our city will be liberated.
ARNHEIM. MARCH 23. •
The Commandant of Wesel has turned 500 per-
sons out of the city. They are Most of them come
here on their way to Holland, where they have rela-
tions. It is said /hat a great many more are to be
sent away. There is a great mortality in the place,
especially in the garrison, so that, as these people say,
scarcely 700 men are able to do duty. Want of pro-
visions begins to be. felt among the.citizens.

We mentioned yesterday that a Frigate had been
ordered to Helvoetsluys to wait the arrival of Lord;
CASTLEREAGH, when he returns from Chatillon. It
has in consequence been inferred by Colonel de Bourg's
cousint, at the Stock Exchange, that the Negociations
have certainly been broken off, otherwise his Lordship
would not come home by the way of Holland, but
through Fiance. Now it so happens that it was
known, when his Lordship left this country, that he
would visit the Hague on his return. The fact is
this :—When Lord CASTLEREAGH proceeded for Cha-
tillon he went by the Hague, where Lady CASTLE-
' REAM was left, and where her Ladyship now is, with
her intimate friend, Lady CLANCARTY ; it having been
arranged that hit Lordship should come round that wag on
his return, to bring Lady CASTLIEREAGH to England.
To sober men it must appear singular, that such
events as a few weeks ago would have raised the
Funds, are now turned to a contrary purpose : every
artifice is employed to depress them, for no event has
occurred which ought so to operate ; on the contrary,
the accounts from Marshal BLUCHER are highly fa-
vourable. On the 18th, that hero marched upon
Bery-au-bac, drove the French troops stationed there
across the Aisne, and passed that river himself with
a strong corps, which proceeded against Rheims. On
the 20th that town was again taken ; and on the 21st,
the latest date to which the advices reach up, the
Marshal himself had his head-quarters there.

A Dutch Mail arrived last night with papers to the
27th, but we have had later accounts than it bringk
'from the Army. This Mail, however, informs us,
that besides the 50 pieces of cannon taken in the
battles of the 9th and 10th, near Laon, 45 pieces
were taken by another Prussian corps, and also the
town of St. Quentin, in Picardy. In a word, from
every quarter the accounts are favourable.

Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke of CLA-
RENCE landed at Deal from Holland. His Royal
Highness came passenger on board the JASON man of
war, The Hon. Cotain KING. All the ships at the
Great Nore manned their yards and fired a salute, as
the JASON passed, and his Royal Highness was greeted
on his landing by military honours from the garri-
son, which was drawn up under arms for the purpose.

This morning a Messenger, with dispatches, ar-
rived at the Foreign Office, in Downing•street.
Au Express, with letters for a Comtnercial•House

in the City, arrived this forenoon from Deal.—
It is - reported that they contain intelligence of a
bloody engagement having taken place between Bo-
FAPARTE and Prince SCHWARTZENBERG and General
BLUCHER, in which the French army was defeated. It
is believed that French Papers are on the way to town,
and that possibly the above intelligence hasbeen partly
derived from theni.

The particulars of the capture of the &shame, of 44
guns, were published in the Gazette of last night.
Yesterday afternoon it was announced by Telegraph
that her consort, l'Etoile, (in pursuit of which Sir
MICH AEL SEYMOUR left the HEBRUS frigate) had
arrived in Plymouth in the morning. The letters
from Plymouth, received this day, of course could
not notice the fact) as they were written the day before.
The capture of the 7'ettrichore French frigate, by the
MAJESTIC, is confirmed, the prize having arrived at
Madeira.

Yesterday a Cabinet Council was held, which sat
till a late hour ; and immediately after it had broken
up, Mr. HUNTER, the Messenger, was ordered in
waiting to set off in the coarse of the evening with
dispatches for Lord CASTLEREAGH. It was under-
stood, he was not to proceed by the way of France,
but to take the route of Holland.

Yesterday Captain COLE embarked on board the
Brune troop-ship, at Portsmouth, with three compa-
nies of Royal Marines, being the remainder of the
Battalion going to Canada. They are to sail as soon
as the wind will permit.
Yesterday the Marquis of WORCESTER and Colonel
FREEMANTLE) Aides-de-Camp to the Marquis of
',‘',7l;Lt.iNo-rolv, took leave of the Duke of YORK, pre-
vious to their departure to join the Noble Marquis's
army.
A Royal Carriage and four horses is to proceed to
Harwich, to convey the Duchess of OLDENBURGH to
London.

Lord A LTIIORPE, whose union with the rich York-
shire Heiress, Miss Accom, is completely arranged,
will possess, with his accomplished bride, an unen-
cumbered estate of 810,000 per annum.
A grand Fete, on a scale of the highest splendour
and magnificence, is in immediate contemplation,
which will embrace the superb ceremonials conse-
quent.on the Installation of the Emperor of RUSSIA,
as a Knight of the Garter, on his arrival in this
kingdom.
His Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, in the,
name of his MAJESTY, has been pleased to grant unto
THOMAS Gown, of Holborn Bridge, in the City of
London. Merchant, his MAJESTY'S Royal Licence
and Authority that he and his issue, from dutiful
