LYONS, FEBRUARY 9.

Detachments of. the National Guards, from the
departments of the Loire, the Upper Loire, Cartal,
Puy de Dome, and the Allier, are coming to join the
army at Lyons, under Marshal Augereau. To-day.
is arrived the first column of the brave troops sent us
by the Marshal Duke of Albufera ; it Will- be f 01...
lowed by the other columns, which will all be here
by the Lsth of this month, with the artillery which
accompanies them.
The enemy is still at our gates, levying requisi-
tions ruinous to the country which he r ccupies. Per-
haps he still entertains the idea of taking citir city,
and of bringing there disorders and famine; It is to
make him witildqw from our walls, to drive him
back to his own territory, that so many generous sol-
diers are assembling about us. Let us then receive
than with transpo t ; let us fly to Meet our delive-
rers ; and let our joy, oar acclamations, on• seeing
those valiant warriors, w:to are most of them coveted
with honourable wounds, prove to, them that we
know how to appreciate and acknowledge the ser.
vices which they render to their country. Let our,
houses be open to them during their stay among us,
.and let them find in our fraternal reception, in our
attention, in our eagerness to provide for their wants,
a feeble recompense for their fatigues, and an encou-
ragement to new sacrifices, th,: speedy results of
which will be the flight of our oppressors, and the
conquest of a durable peace, the object of our most
ardent wishes.

In those pArts which are near the departments in-
vaded by the enemy, our defenders are daily wel-
comed by the inhabitants with marks of gratitude;
the French armed for the,cOrritsiost detorice are trea-
ted like brothers, whose coming Witiapatiently looked
for. The rich and the poor contend for the honour
of lodging.them, and:of providing for All their wants.
This affecting sight it.theihest answer to the attcmpu
of. our enemies to excite~ the iSetiple-ag iitst the estab-
lished order of things ; this eagerness of the inhabi-
tants doubles the energy of our soldiers, who feel still
more that they fight for the deliverance and for the
indepeudence of their country.
FEB. 10.—T,:e Duke of Castiglione has now a re.
spectahle, corps, and we expect more troops. The
enemy is weakening himself in Burgundy, and the
army of Lyons will ston make itself talk-ed of.

LILLE, FEBRUARY s.

We learn that the enemy has suddenly retired from
Ghent, which he had wholly left on the evening of
the 7th. It is said he alsa evacuated Brussels.

['l'ke Paris Papers contain various accounts of the
continued march of the conscripts, and also of the
arrival of various detachments of soldiers *minded
in the late action, who are sent to the neighbouring
departments.]

PARIS, FEBRUARY 18.
Her Majesty the Empress Queen and Regent has
received the folloviing news from the Army, to the
17th in the morning:
" The Emperor, in setting out from Nogent, on
the 9th, to manoeuvre upon the enemy's corps which
was advancing .by the Ferte 'and Meaur upon Paris,
left the corps of the Duke of Belluno and of General
Gerard before .Nugent ; the 7th corps of the Duke of
Reggio, at ProVens, charged with the defence of tht
bridges of Bray and Montqrau, and General Pagol
near Montereau and Meluri.

" The Duke of Beßun° having received informa-
tion that several divisions of the Austrian army had
marched from Troyes on the day of the 10th, to ad-
vance upon Nogent, made his corps d'armee repass
the Seine, leaving General Bourmont with 1200 men
at Nogent for the defence of the town.
The enemy presented himself on the 1/th.o
enter Nogent. He renewed his attacks all the.day,
and always in vain ; he was briskly repulsed wigs the
loss of 1500 men killed or wounded. General Bour.
mont had barricadoed the streets., loop-holeU.(crenea)
'the houses, and taken every measure for a vigorous
defence. This-General, who is an officer of distinc-
tion, was wounded in the knee: Colonel Raviere re-
placed him.
, ", The enemy renewed the attack on the 12th, but
still to no purpose. Our young troops covered them-
selves with glory. These two days have coat the
enemy more than 2000 men.
" The Duke of Belluno having learned that the
enemy had passed at &ay, judged proper to Mink
the bridge of Nogent to be destroyed, and marched

Another arrival of Paris Papal to the 10th has
put as in possession of the details of further tictories
gained by DdgerARTE. They ate like the sictories
of a. certain great Captain of antiquity, however--
they bring him hourly nearer and nearer to his ruin.
He is, in fact, compelled to retreat upon raris. Whe-
ther he will spew his haggard visage in that capital
again is however doubtful: After leaving the final
destrnetion of Burotaa's army toManstosr, he finds
it convenient to inquire into the movements of Prinee
SCHWARTZSNBERO; but for this purpose it is necessary
tevitit Coignes, precisely thirty miles from Paris,
where it certainly appears that the advance of that
General's army had been seen on or about the 16th.
On the 17th, therefore, at noon, a.most signal victory
is pitted, if we are to believe a short unofficial notice
to that effect from Nangis, about ten or twelve miles
from.Guignes, where the battle is said to have been
fought. That an engagement took place at the time
and place started, cannot be doubted ; but, that the
victory was gained by the-French, is out of the ques-
tion.

The fact is, BLUCHER and SCHWARTZENBRAG are
advancing upon Paris by simultaneous movements.
The former is again at Meaux, we must presume,
aotwithstanding the complete destruction of his co.
)umns atChateauTbierry, and the latter is at Guignes.
ft—BONAPARTE% next vietoty will probably be oter
BLUCHER at Meaux; meantime SCHWARTZENHERG
v4ll be at the Barriers of the good City of Paris.—
lt is now a dead heat between BLUCHER and
SCRWARTZENBERG, and the chances are equal. The
wishes of all gallant spirits are with BLUCHER. It

was this experienced Veteran who eapitulatedipr the
safety of the City of Lubec after the battle of Jena,
and he was an eye witness of the faith with Which
lie French General kept to his bargain.
Scarcely had the capitulation been signed when
AUSEERASU, the scoundrel who entered it on the part
of the French, called out to thee-brigands who were
under his command, as pillage MU elfin: I Nearly
the whole of the inbabita.nts were instantly butchered
without distinction of sex or age, aad the town was
Set.,.. fire in several places!. Aunznaau, we believe,
his now a command in the National Guards of Paris.
Marshal BUCHER will, of course, give him the fra-
ternal hag when he meets him. There will be none
cd the nuilleuru forest:, no exchanging of hospitalities,
observed at the ceremony. BLUCHER is of another
Khool, and of a different breed from the guests of
CAVLINCOURT, the Duke of Vicenza I
It is laughable to witness the credulity of the inha-
blants of Paris. Daily they are told that columns
of prisoners will arrive : the ramparts are crowded
with company to view the imposing spectacle; even
Ain: JOSEPH goes out to the gates to meet the stran-
gers, but none arrive. The Moniteue of the 18th,
however, announces their expected arrival on that
day at noon. We, nevertheless, suspect they have
lest their way, like the cannon lost and taken in the
battle of Brienne. The distance between Montmirail
and Paris is only about sixty miles. Zetween the
11th and the 18th, surely a single column of prise.
secs might have found their way to Paris. Have
any prisoners been taken front the Allies, in any of
the actions which have been ksght since the affair

that the ilea mope. of the Alliei ifth tint

prod of the strict discipline enforced by ale Allied
Conithandert. Many lives would be lost id no Pur-
-1 posei were an irregular force to appear prititatiirely
on the heights which command Paris : beiides, the
honour of entering Paris, as in the case of Leipsic,
must be reserved for ALKKANDIR the Deliverii, and
BLUCHER the Invincible ! SCHWARTZENEERG his seen
Paris already—the former never have.

Bowirawrz is et idently playing the same desperate
garb* round Paris that he did at Dresden. lie must
abandon it to its fate. Its doom was decreed on the
day that Moscow was destroyed.
Hithert6 we have had only French accounts of
these conflicts, and we may fairly allow the exag-
•geratiotts of the enemy, at a moment when it is so
necessary to excite the drooping spirits of the popu-
lace, to be at least not inferior to what were last year
exhibited in the Monikar, when the Allies were
driving the French from Germany. Every victory of
which NAPOLEON boasted at that time proved to have
been a signal defeat, and the mighty conqueror ac-
tually left his army to its fate as he had done before
when citivom out of Russia.

We cannot doubts then, that when the official de-
tail% from the armies shall arrive, they will present
very different features from the sketches given in the
French Journals.. 4. But," say some, *6 why have
they not been received ?"—intimating that they must
have been kept back by disasters. No reasoning can
be more fallacious than this. If the Negotiations for
Peace have been broken off, the Couriers from the
Allies would have no more passports to pass through
France : and therefore must take k more circuitous
route to reach this country. That the negotiations
have been interrupted is, we think, proved by the
non arrival of Messengers, via Calais ; and hence we
infer—not that the Allies absolutely refused to treat
with BONAPARTE, but that the tyrant notwithsanding
the desperate state of his affairs, had the audacity
to insist on. terms incompatible with the dignity of the
Allied Potentates, and dangerous to the future safety
and peace of Europe. We speak on this point with
considerable confidence; nor have we the slightest
doubt, that, let the present desperate struggle issue
how it may, when there shall no longer be any neces-
sity for concealment, and the undisguised facts shall
come before the Public, it will be proved, that every
impediment that has operated to interrupt a pacific
negotiation proceeded entirely from BONAPARTE Nai-
-1 self.

eight years. They contrived to teach Caen, in Nor-
mandy, where they stole the boat, and sailed from
thence Sunday morning. The people gave them
provisions through the different towns; and notwith-
standing they were known to be Englishmen, no one
attempted to detain them, but desired them to pro-
ceed. It was positively stated, the day before they
left France, that a party of Cossacks had fallen in with
and released 450' English prisoners at Longwy ; at
Valenciennes our men were daily deserting, the greater
part of the usual guard being marched to Parts.
