PARIS, FEBRUARY 19.

The columns of Austrian, Prussian, and Russian
prisoners, that were to pass through Paris, arrived
yesterday at one o'clock by the barriers of Paulin and
Chat-clam

At the moment that the Austrian column entered
the Place de la Concorde. a battalion of troops from
the Army of Spain arrived : those troops are full of
ardour.

PARIS, FEBRUARY 17.

To-day, at one o'clock, the Russian General Al.
suffieu, and two other Generals, taken prisoners in the
late battles, entered Paris on horseback by the barrier
of the gate St. Marti% escorted by some gens-
d'armes.

They were all in uniform, and one is decorated
with several orders.
From the entrance of the suburb to the Place Vin.
dome, where they alighted, they were followed by an
immense crowd, which continually made the air re-
sound with cries of rive I'Emperrur! The tops of the
houses, situated upon the Boulevards, and in Castig-
lione-street, were filled with people. The public joy
vas manifested in the most expressive manner, but it
had nothing uncivil in it towards the prisoners.—
Frenchmen triumph over their enemies and icnowohow
to respect the conquered.
After having passed some moments with the Etat.
Major-General of the place, the enemy's Generals
vent into a carriage, and set out for their destination.

The principal places of the different mayoralties,
at this moment, present a spectacle well calculated to
interest the friends of humanity. There are seen ar-
rive, from morning till night, carriages or porters
laden with voluntary gifts, offered by citizens. of all
classes. Some Sena bedi complete.; others shirts,
handkerchiefs, stockings, caps, in short, every article
ithich can be useful to the sick, or to the wounded.
In many houses the women and young girls abandon
their usual employment to make bandages and lint.
The sums of money that have been deposited for the
same purpose are already very considerable.
Every one hastened to bring his offering. Persons
Rho live by the labour of their hands, and who are
scarcely above want, have deprived themselves of
many necessary things CO dedicate them to the ser-
vice of suffering humanity. They expect no other
recompence than that heartfelt satisfaction-which ac-
companies virtuous actions. They know that their
brethren, their defenders, are in want, and they fly to
their assistance.
If benevolence is a duty, it is especially so when it
is exercised towards those brave warriors who shed
their blmod in a cause so just as that which we main-
tain.

We are threatened by enemies who wish to deprive
us of all that is dear to us. The cannon no longer
thunders on a foreign land. Blood flows in our towns
ard in our fields. It is not to deliver some of our
Pror:rces only ; it is to stre the country itself, the
bosom of which is torn by cruel enemies ; it is to de-
fru our hearths, our, wives, our children ; it. is to
prevent a stranger from treating us as an enslaved
and corquered people, that the Sovereign calls us to
the Et Id of rlonour.
`•VIllt gratitude do we not owe to those brave men
?Iv) rerl, « ith such magnanimous courage, all the
tiThrts of die enemy. Our armies have shewn him,
that the French are especially invincible, when they
fight to deliver their territory, under the eyes of their
snvereign.
The successes which we have jest obtained have
atirnated our array with new courage, and ought to
be a presage to the other armies of the Coalition, of
the fate that awaits them. Let us preserve, then, the
attitude which becomes the French. Each of us has
duties to fulfil, and it is by -fulfilling them that we
shall prove to all Europe, that the French nation is
worthy of the high rank which it occupies among

civilized nations. What sacrifice can be too great,
'when it is made to second the views of Government
Assist our brave defenders, and save the country !

LISLE, FEBRUARY ,21.
On Sunday, the lSth of this month, the General
of Division Baron de Solignac, Superior Comman-
dant of the fortress of Lisle, reviewed three compa-
nies of grenadiers of the Urban coh‘rts, and after-
wards invited to an entertainment the General in
Chief Maison, who was in the place; General Bre-
nier, Commander of the 16th military division; Ge-
neral Macors, Commandant d'armes; the Mayor of
the town ; the superior officers of the different arms;
and the chiefs of the cohorts of the national guard.
The toasts drank were—" His Majesty the Empe-
ror;"—" The Imperial Family ;"—" The brave
men who contributed to gaining the victories of the
10th and 11th of this month, and disappointing the
hopes of the enemy."

In the evening the Mayor caused to be published,
by torch-light, the second telegraphic bulletin, an-
nouncing the continuation of the victories gained by
his Majesty. The people of the good city of Lisle
received the news with the most lively demonstrations
of joy, and with repeated shouts of rive l'Empereur.
—At the same time these bulletins were read in the
theatre, and inspired extempore songs, bearing the
stamp of the purest patriotism, and the most entire
confidence in the genius of the hero who has sworn
to save France.— Moniteur, Feb. 18.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2.4, 1814.

Sr. MATTILIA3.—.-Holiday at the Bank.'

We have since received Paris Papers two days later
than those noticed yesterday; and we are now in pos-
session of intelligence from the French capital to the
20th instant. The pretended battle of, the 17th, no-
ticed in the Bulletin issued at Boulogne, is not alluded
to, but a victory is claimed on -the 18th, at Monte-
reau, about forty miles from Paris. The Allied
corps engaged consisted of Bavarians and Wurtem-
burghers, under the 'command of the Bavarian Ge-
neral WnEDE, and they were driven across the Seine,
with the loss of 5000 men, one General, and three
pieces of cannon.
The Moniteur abruptly breaks off here, leaving all
the subsequent events unexplained. The armies under
131.1xnEtt and SCHWARTZENBERG are not mentioned
—both, we have no doubt, were advancing upon
Paris in other directions. The Bavarian and Wur-
temberg Coro, from their position, were probably
employed to keep up the communication between the
►above two armies, and they may have sustaineda
check, but this is the whole amount of the victory
claimed by the French statements. The other state,
meats in the French Papers are too contemptible to
deserve notice. The arrival at Paris of the handful
of prisoners, taken from the Allies, seems to have
kept up the French Funds.

At a late hour last night an Officer arrived at
Lord BATHURST'S Office, with dispatches from Sir
GEORGE PREVOST, in Canada, containing the parti-
culars of the recent discomfiture of the Americans
on the Canadian frontier, of which the American
statements have already appeared in this Paper.—
The American News-papers- acknowledged consi-
derable losses on that occasion, but from the Dis-
patches that have been received it appears that their
statements fell much short of the truth. We under-
ctand that their whole army in t'hat quarter.has been
annihilated or completely dispersed, so as to exhibit
nothing like even the remains of an organised body:

This forenoon a Dutch Mail arrived. The ac-
counts, which it brings, as will be seen from the sub-
joined extracts, are favourable to the good cause in
which the Allies are embarked :
" HELVOETSLUYS, FEBRUARY 22.

" An Officer, just arrived from Head-quarters, in-
forms us, that Sir Thomas Graham was again pre-
paring to advance upon Antwerp, and only waited
the arrival cf. Congreve's Rockets, which, it was ex-
pected, he would receive this day."

“ BRUSSELS, FEB. 14.
” Troops are continually passing through our
town."-Brauels Gazette, Feb. 14.

" BRUSSELS, FEBRUARY 12.
" General Maison has established his head-quar-
ters at Tournay ; but it is not thought he will tong
maintain himself there. All Flanders and Hainault
are evacuated, and the French army concentrated in
the Tournois cannot long maintain themselves there.
Forced to quit Tournay, the last town in Belgium,
there will remain, for the moment, no other re-
source for it, than under the cannon of Lille, the
public spirit of the inhabitants of which gives but
little reason for the Government reckoning upon their
co-operation in the defence of that important place.
" On the other side Baron Winzingerode has esta-
blished his head-quarters at Namur."

Yesterday, about half past twelve o'clock, her MA-
JZSTY, accompanied by the Princesses ELIZABETH and
MARY, arrived at the Queen's Palace froth Windsor,
escorted by a party of Light Horse. They were re-
ceived at the Palace by the Pages in Waiting. They
were afterwards visited by the Dukes of KENT and
SUSBEX, and also by a number of the Nobility.
