MILITARY REPORT FROM COLINEL LOWE TO•IIIR now.
• SIR Co W. STEWART, DATED ST. °URN, FEBRUARY 4,
1814, WINE A. M.
SIR--The reports of this morning are, that a can-
nonading was beard on yesterday afternoon at Pogny,.
-on the road between Vitry and Chalons, which it is
supposed must have been in consequence' of a ten-,
'contre between the corps of Qeneral D'York
Vlarshal Macdonald. A reclnaoissance, pushed orrr
yesterday as far as Sogny, on the road from hence'
to Chalons, ascenained the enemy to be there posted
with a force of about two thousand insantry and two
squadrons of, cavalry. The enemy had A force at
Vary which will probably endeavour to effect a junc.
tion with Mar hal Macdonald of with Marshal Mar-
mont, who, there is every reason to suppose, pro-
: ceeded, after the retreat, to Arcis. •
I have the honour to be, &c.
A' (Signed H. Lows, Colonel.
