to Janvillieres, where he was joined by *pavane,
who had made 3 krced moth from Chateau Thirrry,
with the whole of his guards and a large body if ca-
valry. A very severe action now took place. Marshal
Blucher's force being very inferior in numbers, ant
particularly in cavalry, his infantry was formed into •i
squares, and he determined on a retreat. The enemy
made the most doperate attacks of cavalry up as
these squares, but were received with such undaainte4
firmness, that not one of them was brolien.

" After a very severe and unequal contest, carried
on during a retreat of nearly inn- le 'guts, Marshal
ALUCIUM observed a large corps of cavalry peso:a -.
on the chaussee in his rear near Etoges. He resolved
to force his way through this obstacle, anti by veer-
ing a heavy fire pf artillery and musketry upon chi;
cavalry, posted in a solid masse on the chausseel he
succeeded in his object.

the night in the position of Bergeres.

" Genera Blucher Fvbsequently reOred to Chalons.
Where he was joined on the 16th by Generals Sackeq
and D'Yorck. Part of General Winzengerode's corps
had carried Suissons by assault, taking two Generals
and about three thousand men ; Colcneral Winyengef

at that place. He was repulsed with loss; the Prince
of Wirtemberg took some cannon : late, however, in
the evening the attack was renewed, and the enemy
succeeded in obtaining possession of the bridge ; and,
it was understood, that he had passed over a consi-
derable part of his army. The head-quarters ofj
Prince Schwartzenberg were to be at Troyes on the

Yester,lay we stated the most prominent part of
the gratifying details, of which the Hon. Mr. Rows_
sew was the bearer ; and in a Second Edition we
publishedthe regular Bulletin issued by Government,
which we repeat this day for the sake of those Readers
who did not receive our Second Edition.

The journey of Mr. RO&INSON having ban made
through France, is a convincing proof that the nego-
tiations at Chatillon are not broken off. The fact
appears to be simply this :—the terms proposed by
the Allies have been considered by BONAIPARTE as
placing him in a condition too abject and degrading
for the son of the Town. Clerk of Ajaccio, and he, is,
accordingly, fighting for better terms. He is evi-
dently playing a desperate, but a losing game, to im-
prove his situation. The junction of SCHWARTZIN.
MG'S and BLUCHERS armies -will, probably, teach
him humility.

We rejoice to learn that the loss of the Allies, in
the recent battles., has been greatly over-rated. The
Woe. FRIDERJCIIC ROBINSON, who arrived yesterday
from France, brought over with him Lord CAUL&
staca's travelling carriage.

We have received American Papers to the 2d inst.
Halifax Papers have also reached us to the 3d instant,
inclusise. The intelligence from head-quarters, Que.
bec, dated the &h ultimo, is of the most gratifying
description. General Orders had been issued, an-
nouncing a dispatch from Lieutenant-General DRUM•
UOND, which stated, that an attack had been made,
on the 30th of December, on the enemy's position at
Black Rock, where he was advantageously posted
vith two thousand men. The enemy was attacked,
in the most gallant manner, and pursued in his rc-
treat to Buffalo, whet* be attempted to make a stands
but was rotted t• retreat precipitately to the Eleven-
Mile Creek, on Lake Erie, leaving seven field-pieces,
and four schooners and floopst and a considerable
quantity of ordnance stores. The whole of our troops
did not exceed one thousand. No British Officer had
fallen on this occasion. Black Rock, Lewiston, and
Buffalo, were burnt, previous to the evacuation, by
our troops, as some retaliation on the Americans for
the miseries which the unfortunate inhabitants of
Newark had been made to suffer upon the evacuation
of Fort George. The British loss in this gallant
action did not exceed twenty-five killed, and fifty
wounded. The enemy suffered severely ; but, from
the rapidity of his flight, only seventy prisoners were
taken, among whom is Doctor (alias Lieutenant-Co-
lonel CHAPIN ).—General PazvosT had announced
these successes in a Proclamation, dated the 12th of
January, in which he details the outrageous conduct
of the Americans.

og HALIFAX, FEBRUARY 2. •

" Captain Cochrane, Aide-de-Camp to his Excel-
lency Sir George Prevost, arrived here from Quebec
on Monday evening. He is the bearer of dispatches
fur England, and, we understand, sakes his departure

" His Excellency the Commander of the Forces
has the satisfaction of announcing to the troops, that
he has received a dispatch from Lieut. Gen. Drum-
snood, report,ng the complete success of an attack
that was made at day-break on the morning of the
30th December, on the enemy's position at Black
Rock, with up.vards of 2000 men. After a short
but severe evilest, the enemy was repulsed, and pur-
surd in his retreat to Buffalo, where he attempted to
make a stand, but on receiving a few rounds from the
Iritish field pieces, he abandoned that post also, and
&d to the Elena Mile Creek, leaving 7 pieces, and

loft ictooners aid adopt, Witii constdetaide goat:
city of ordnance and other valuable stores.

" The enemy suffered severely; but, from the ta.
pidity of his flight, /0 prisonerS only were taken—
among Whom is Doctor (or Lieutenant-Colonel)
Chapin. The Lieutenant-General bestows the high-
est praise upon the undaunted courage and patient
submission of the inclemency of the weather and the
hardships to which they were exposed. No British
Officer has fallen on this occasion. Lieut.-Colonel
Ogilvie and Captain Fawcett were wounded. It is
supposed our loss does not exceed 25 killed and 50
wounded. Black Rock and Buffalo were burnt pre.
vious to their evacuation, by our troops,, together
with all the public buildings and the four vessels.—
A considerable quantity of stores were sent away
before the conflagration. (Signed)

" BOSTON, JANUARY 25.

el The Secretary of the Miry, it is said, will shortly
make a report upon the expediency of employing
small'fast-sailing vessels to annoy the c.lnmerce of

the enemy.
" The American brig Grand Turk arrived at Sa-
lem the 19th ultimo, from a cruize, during which she
made the following captures :

" &lips Wolfs' Cove, from Quebec forLondon—General Kemp,
from ditto for Liverpool—Brig Trial, from Prince Edward's
Island, for ditto —Minorca, from Picton for. Greenock—Grace,
.from Li►bon for St. John's (Newfoundland)—Schooner Rebecca,
from hence for Bermuda. Tke schooner Agnes, Soper, from
St. John's (Newfoundland) for Antigua, cargo fi,,b, was captured
in lat. 41r Sti. long. 47. by an American cruizer; ordered fer
France."

The following. judicious observations on the war
are extracted from a Boston Paper of January 10:

" LORD CASTLEREAGH'S DISPATCH.

" Our apprehension of the subject is this—Great
Britain has declined negotiating, under the mediation
of a third power, for several good and stifficient rea-
sons—one, that she would take the opinion of no na-
tion upon her right to the service of her own subjects
—another, that she did not choose, at such a time, to
hive the apple of discord thrown between her and
kussia—imd another reason we are satisfied, and it
will tern out so, was, that the mediation was offered
without the knowledge of England ; and if so, cer-
tainly without the authority of Russia. Having de-
clined negotiating with England, but having through
an agent at St. Petersburgh, present at certain con-
ferences, learnt that the American Government would
he disposed to come to a fair understanding, Lord
Castlereagh has sent a flag of truce with a dispatch to
this Government proposing to negotiate directly at
London, or perhaps at Washington.
" Mr. Madison says he cannot appreciate this
patch until be hears from our Envoys, and know
what bas transpired at St. Petersburgh. The little
man will take time to think and look about him, as
there is no knowing but Bonaparte may come to after
while. Some go so far as to say Mr. Bayard will
be nominated to the Senate to-day or to-morrow, as
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary
to the Court Of London. We have no such hope.—
The victories-over Bonaparte must be certain, or con-
firmed, before Mr. Madison budges one peg. We
shall certainly have peace it Bonaparte is put out of
the way, and the war will as certainly be continued
if the reverse."
