Moftiiesks la the 45th add minor Paris iotunals to
the 2sd, arrived last night. They are brief, like their
ptedetessors, on the subject of the movallasts of the
French armies. They state, that on the .ISth Bana-
t mitTE had his head-quarters at Duben, miclway be.

Lis positions then extended from Wettin to Halle,
upon the Saale and Mtdda. He has since advanced
further into Satony, and by the junction with the
Grand Allied Armies of Silesia and Bohemia, Leip-
sic is encompassed neatly in the same way as Dresden
was lately. It will be seen, therefore, that the
French a • Allied Armies have, within a
few day pletely changed places. The
former corral.), between Leipsic and
the Elbe. • latter are posted on the banks
of the Saale;' .siderably nearer France. During
the movements which preceded this change of pc,*
tion, it is probable That both the contending armies
avoided a general engagement, both being confident
in the ultimate success of their manoeuvres. With
respect to the French armies, their communications

with France being entirely destroyed, they must now
subsist themselves bow they can upon the banks of the
Elbe. It is true, that the occupation of the fortresses I,
of Magdeburgh, Torgau, and Wittenberg will afford
facilities to the transport of provisions to any position
along the Elbe which the French armies may take
op ; but these provisions must be drawn from an ene-
my's country, and 'the difficulties of peadining them
must increase every day.
In whatever Out of view, therefore, gap take Bo-
nseastres present anation, we cannot but regard
his clinging to the Elbe for the winter, as a meastwe
which will end in the total destruction of his army.
A temporary advance to Berlin, under thesocircum-
stances, may for a while dazzle the • eyes of the Pa-
risians, and with this view only will it be attempted,
in order to quicken the new conscription, or to en-
courage the money lenders of Paris to make fresh
advances Tor their thriftless Emperor.

The successes of MuttAr, biIET, and Amman,
which are again alluded to in the French Papers as
having been confirmed, may probably allude to some
affairs with Generals TIMMER and TAUENZIENt who
with about 16,000 men were left to nppose the pas.
sage of the Elbe; and we know from the Berlin
Gavate, that Star he pesbed a• INTL across the
Elbe, between Wittenberg and Torgau ; but it Was
afterwards reported at Stralsund that he had been
cut of and ultimately defeated. This must be one
of the affairs alluded to of the 11th or 12th instant ;
but with respect to MURAT and AUOZREAU'S suc-
cesses, we are at a loss to say where they could have
taken place, the exact direction in which they have
recently moved not being stated.
The Parisians are still told that the armies are in
sight of each other, and that great events may be ex-
pected, the Emperor having put himself at the head
of his Imperial Guards to march against the principal
part of the Allied ArMy. This does not look like
marching upon Berlin—•but we ought to put no faith
whatever In any hints thus vaguely given. The mi-
serable condition in wilich..his army mast be, for want
of sustenance and necessary equipments, must, we
apprehend, make BON APARTE decline a general' en•
gagement, unless he is absolutely forced to it by the
Allied Sovereigns. Their confidence in their armies
must, on the contrary,be unbounded, and their plass
have been digested by no common mind. BONAPARTE
may be trice mote successful n is true—he may
again return to his capital with a Twenty-ninth
Bulletin—and by an affected shew of candour wing
the last drop of blood from the unhappy country
which he governs, to be expended in another mad in-
vasion of the unoffending nations hround him—but
all good men will offer their supplications to Heaves
for the success of the great cause in which the Allied
sovereigns have embattled their subjects against hints

O Tuou! whore captains they account themselves,
Look on their fortes with-a gracious eye!
Put in their hand* thy bruising irons of wrath,
That they may crush down, with a heavy fall,
The usurping helmets of their adversaries!
Make them thy ministers of chastisement,
that we OUT praise thwrits TNT victory !
