Extract of a Letter, dated Paris, March 11 :

44 We are without any news for these three days, which gives
us much uneasiness. The army which attacks the south side of
Paris is very strong; the army which attacks the north side is
very strorg ; the one opposed to it is also strong ; but that of the
south is feeble attd bad. We fear every thing. Bourdeaux is in
the hands of the enemy since these 46 hours."

We yesterday mentioned a report that the French
had re-occupied Bruges. It was founded on the fol-
lowing occurrence, which took place there on Satur-
day last :—A fair being held there on that day, the
French from Ostend detached a part of the garrison,
in order to take the town by surprise, for the sake of
plunder. There were only 60 Cossacks in Bruges,
who, with the inhabitants, prevented the enemy from
succeedirg in their object.

A Gentleman has come over to this country with
a view of obtaining a supply of arms from Govern.
ment for the use of the patriots in the Netherlands,
who are rising in every direction to prevent the possi_
bility of their country's being ever again placed un-
der the iron yoke of the Corsican.

It will be seen from the contents of the French Pa-
pers to the 121:1, that the reported great victory over
BLUCHER had dwindled into a comparatively trifling
affair at Craone, a short distance froni Rheims. The
details are not official ; but they shew that BLUCHER
was not engaged: it eras probably an affair with his
rear-guard.

Nothing is said of Prince SCHWA RTZENBERG'S Army,
if we except a vague rumour in one of the Minor Pa-
pers, that the Allies had been repulsed in their whole
line flom Montereau to Nogent, but without telling
us what force the enemy opposes to the Allies in that
quarter. in opposition to this statement, private let-
ters from Paris affirm, that OUDINOT, who should
have opposed the Allies in that quarter, had been
compelled to retire upon Paris. It may be concluded,
that in fact the Austrian army has advanced, and
that the next accounts will inforKi us of BONAPARTE
having returned from BUCHER'S neigl.bourhood to
oppose SCHWA RTZENBERG.

The re-entrance of the army of Italy into Parma
is only given as a rumour. Twenty such may be given
in a week. They mean nothing.

A Dutch Mail arrived last night. The principal
novelty which it brings is a Proclamation, in the
Haarlem Courant of the 12th, issued by MONWEUR pre-
vious to his quitting Basle. We are happy to see it,
nor are we without hopes that, in spite of every
opposition, it may obtain an extensive circulation
throughout France, and operate to increase the ranks
of the Royal Army, which has begun to Ise formed
in France.

Yesterday a Cabinet Council was summoned to
meet at two o'clock at the Foreign Office. They con-
tinued their deliberations till lour. All the Cabinet
Ministers were present except Viscount CASTLEREAGH.
The Princess KATHERINE of ltusstn, sister to the
.Emperor ALEXANDER, with her son, the young Prince
of CLDENBURMI, is on her way to this country with a
numerous suite, consisting of about forty persons of
high distinction in the Empire.

Various rimours have been circulated respecting
the negotiations which were entered on for restoring
Peace. We do not think them entitled to much
attention, but as they are with some the subject of
conversation, we give them a place :—When the
Plenipotentiaries first met at Chatillon, an armistice
w.is, it w understood, proposed by BONAPARTE, but
rejected by the Allies, who, it is said, maintained that
a cessation of hostilities must be the consequence of
the signature of the Preliminaries of Peace. The
principal basis of these preliminaries was to be, France
as she was before the Revolution. To this basis it is
rumourcd that BONAPARTE agreed, provided some
conditions were added relative to the former colonial
possessions of France in the East and West Indies.
This is said to have produced Mr. RODINSON'i mission
to London. Upon his return to Chatillon, an ulti-
matum is stated to have been sent to BON APAR 114 and
his acceptance or rejection was to be signified at the
latest on the 10th instant, The ultimatum is said to
have been—g, France as she stood in 1789, and the
surrender for five years, or till the amount of contri-
botions levied by BONAPARTE upon Austria and
Prussia ate repaid, of the fortresses of Strasburgh,
Mentz, Lisle, Valenciennes, and Luxembourg."
