NANCY, JANUARY DI •
General Von lllather,- Commander of the Silesian
Army; having penetrated into this principal city of
Lorraine, has answered the Address presented to him
by our Magistracy, by a declaration which is of the
greatest importance of any which has hitherto been
made by any Commander of enemy's fortes on French
ground. This act, which shevis the motives and
spirit, at least, of the Prussians, if not of all the other
Allies, is of the following tenor
Guncultri —I am satisfied with the feelings
which yott have expressed. in your address to me.
A just and wise PROVIDENCE has conducted our
arms into the French territories; all Europe is at
length awakened from her destructive slumber, by
the insatiable atnhitim of the man who for the last

font teen years has had the direction of the. fate of
France.

" The people of the Wolga, of the Danube, of the
Elbe, of the Thames,.have from that side quitted
their own homes, and are now on the soil of 'the once
happy Ftance.
64 Many of these nations had indeed 'hitherto been
the friends and' partisans of France, hdt are nowise.
come her enemies ; and what can have been their mcs:
tires for this change
" The restless and insatiable ambition of a. single
man 1 It is him who has caused even those peoPle,
who were not hitherto warriors, to become so ;—be.
rause, that they could no longer bear the depres
and disgrace with which be had overwhelmed them,
nor the despotism and knaveries of his agents. Ca.,'
your looks to the Portuguese, who are now combat-
ing on the banks of the Garonne, they now rank
among the first. of Europe's wartiors ; to the 1401-
! Landers, who have unanimously shaken a detested
yoke off their shoulders, and raised the banner of war
against you.
GOD,. in his justice, has at length :decreed a se-
vere retribution ; in the course of two campaigns up-
wards of 600,0(k) Frenchmen have disarpe.tred from
the surface of the earth : miserable victims to the in-
satiable ambition of a conqueror, who seems careless
of shedding French blood, because it is not his own.
" And what has France gained by this immense
quantity of bloodshed ? A whole generation of man-
kind, and all her youth from '2O to 30 years of age,
have been • devoered by the sword of war; ready
money is out of circulation ; commerce destroyed ;
the arts and industry sunk—agricu!ture without en.
couragement. The people groaning under the weight
of insupportable expenses; gensdurmes tearing away
thousands of conscripts from the bosomsof their fa-
milies, dragging' them by force to- serve under the
standards of- the ambitious man, who, by his want et
prudence and care for their support, suffers them
miserably to perish ; pensioned spies, insintiating
themselves into all societies, who report to Savary,
their chief, all the sighs ;Ind complaints caused by
despair, and especially military commissioners, who
condemn to
.death, to the galleys, or to impr sonment
for life, such citizens as dare utter their complaints
against such insatiable ambition and despotic feel-
ings ! It is then for Cie benefit of a f9W Generals,
Intendants, and Comtnissaries, who hive been en-
riched by the plunder of our territories, and by the
most disgraceful knaveries , that ye have suffered so
much. Oh unhappy people ! •
We have already made frequent caws of peace,
which we were willing -to purchase by..the.gteatest
sacrifices. Those proposals were either hastily re-
jected, or a dubious and faithless answer was return-
ed to them, the only intention of which was to gain.

with arms in our hands, and art your own territory,
nay, even in your. capital itself it needful.
The, proved valour,, and religions c,onfidenee of
our voldiers, will enable Ali to conquer, not only this
object, but together with it our national independence,,
and a free matitime commerce; fur it is we who
combat for this maritime dliberty, and not the Chid
who rules over you, and who on the contrary wishes
-to shut up all the
-ports which Peoviozscs has given.

44 It grieves me,- that I cannot spare you thppat-
ticipation of all the evils and iocouvreisaces• insepa-
rable from war, but I will do every thing in my
power to lighten its burthetm •
64 Ntre will ifot degrade ourselves by taking ven-
geance for the enormities perpetrated by your bands

who wishes to render it everlasting.
64 I ain going to abolish the most hateful of your',
imposts, the consolidated duties, and the impost on
salt, -and moderate that on registrations.
" May I for your sake especially, brave inhabitants
of Lorraine, be the means of causing 'the good old
limps to return, which were enjoyed by your ances-
tors, under the gentle • and parental government of
your.Duites."

The Allitaiall troop& under elrie General of .til-
kty, Count Colloredo, yesterday entered Dijnii.;—
His Highness Prince Schwartzenberg went thtift to

INFORMAtION TO TIIE FRENCH PEOPLE.-
" A person named Charles Lequier, of the Com-
mune of igry, misled by proclamations which ho-
nour And humanity disavow, arrested. with arms in
his hinds, brought before a Council of War, assem-
bled at Vesotil tin the 13th January, 1814, and.con-1
demned to death, has obtained his pardon at the 50...;
licitation of many worthy inhabitants, and especially
lon account of his being the father of ,six children,
whose existence depends on his. The Council of
War shall henceforth be held on .the spot where the
malefactor or assassin shall have been taken—he shall
immediately be tried, and punished with death.
46 His fiighness the Marshal Prince of Schwart-
zenberg has given this order to all the Commandants
of Corps which compose the Allied Army."

NOTICE.
" The disarming of the inhabitants of the French
territory occupied by the Allied Armies, is an act
repugnant to their principles; but it becomes a duty,
when we see appeals published to the people, exci-
ting them to murder and assassination. A prudent
people, friendly to peace, will approve this measure,
which, under all its relations, can incur no rrproacht",

MISS LAVINIA artSINSON.—A Coroner's Inquests
was held last week at Manchester on the body of this
unfortunate young Lady, and the Jury, after a long
investigation, returned- a verdict in substance as fol-
lows : " That the said Lavinia Robinson was found
drowned in the river Irwell, on the, 7th of February,
in Pendlebury, in the county of Lancaster, but how'
