. ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, JAN. 8, 1814. -

Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Pellew has transmitted
to Jolla Wilson Croker, Esq. a letter from Captain
Dickson, of his Majesty's ship Swiftsure, repotting
the capture, off Cape Rousse, in the island of Corsica,
on the 26th
_of 'November, of the French schooner
privateer Charlemagne, of eight guns and 93 men, by
the boats of- the above ship, under the directions of
Lieutenant William Smith.
The schooner had sailed from Genoa twenty-four
days before, stored for a six months' cruize, and was
availing herself 'her sweeps to escape from the
Swiftsure, when the boats were dispatched in pursuit
of her. On their approach the enemy made every
preparation for resistance, and reserved their fire till
the boats had opened theirs, when they returned it in
the most determined manner for some minutes, until
the vessel was boarded on the bow and quarter, and
instantly carried.
Captain Dickson commends in very high terms,
the gallantry of all the officers 'and men employed in,
the boats.
Mr. Joseph Douglas, Midshipman, and four sea-
men were killed ; and Lieutenants Fuller and Har-
vey, Lieutenant Thompsoni of the marines, Mr. Field,
Midshipman, and eleven seamen, wounded.
The loss of the enemy was about equal ; the first
and second captains of the privateer (both nttinnii
officers) were severely wounded. ‘'' 4'
Extract of a Letter from Capt. Farquhar, of His Majesty's shfit.
Desiree, to J. W. Croker, Esq. dated off Gluckstadt, Dec, 2S,
1813.

I have to acquaint their Lordihips, that on Sun-
day the 19th inst, 1 was made acquainted by letter
from Capt. Marshall, of his Majesty's sloop. Sham-
rock, that a detachment of the Swedish army was
advancing towards Gluckstadt, I determined to move
up next morning with his Majesty's ship Desiree and
Blazer, but the weather was so extremely thick that
it was impossible to move ; the same day I received
another communication from Capt. Marshall, that
Stoar battery, a little below Gluckstadt, was attacked
by the Swedes, when the enemy set fire to the gun-
carriages, spiked their guns, and retreated into the
town. I therefore resolved to proceed up the river
that night in a gun-boat, and ordered the frigate and
brig to come up as soon as the weather should clear,
and they arrived this morning.
PROCLAMATION rut ALLIED POWERS
to ries FRACNCII NATION.

Eassantu 1-. Victory has conducted the Allied
Armies to your frontier : they are about to pass it.
We do not make war upon France ; but we repel
fai from us the yoke which your Government wished
to impose upon our respective countries, which have
the sane rights to iodesodenee and happiness as
rues.
Magistrates, landholder:, cultivate*, •remain at
your homes. The maintenance of public order, re-
sett fot private property, the most severe discipline,
shall characterise the progress od the stay of the Al-
lied Armies. They are not animated by the spirit of
vengeance ; they wish not to retaliate upon France
the numberless calamities with which France, for the
last twenty years, overwhelmed her neighbours, and
the most distant obuntries.
Other principles and other views than those which
led your armies among us,preside over the counsels of
the Allied Monarchs. Their glory will consist in
having put the speediest period to the misfortunes of
Europe. The only conquest, which is the object of
their ambition is that of peace ; but at the same time
a peace which shall secure to their own people, to
France, and to Europe, a state of real repose. We
hoped to find it before touching the soil of France.
We come thither in quest of it.

Commanding in Chief she Grand Allied Army.

FRENCH PAPEAS.

His Majtsty has been pleased to confide the chief

General of the Departments beyond the Alps.
PARIS, DEC. 30.
France, particularly ler these last twenty years,
resembles that power Whose genius Moatesquieu has
so well described; the same splendour in success, the
same firmness in reverses, the same celeritt in repair-
ing them and effacing them by triuraphs. She may
be vanquished, because fortune has unexpected
changes : she cannot be subdued, because the charac-
ter of the inhabitann, new tempered by such severe
trials, has imbibed a new degree of boldness and firm-
ness.
. In 1792 innumerable hosts of foreigners, attracted
by the hopes of profiting by our dissentions, and of
seizing on our spoil, inundated our territory, and ar-
rived without obstacle in the plains of Champagne.
hied neither magazines nor army, nor celebrated
Generals, nor plan oh defence; the drums were beat-
ing in Paris to call the citizens to arms, when the
enemy was less than forty leagues from that capital.
A Minister said at that time, we must have a Pro-
clamation which will make 80,000 men march out fliU
Paris to-morrow, or we are ruined. In such an exn,-
:laity one wsuld have thought that the Allies had only
to make a military promenade to reach the centre of
all our resources; yet victory confounded their proud
hopes. We have not forgotten, that the old troops
of Frederick were too happy in not justifying, by
their destruction; the saying of a King of Sardittr4,
famous for his talents, I know many ways to enter
France, but not one to get out of it."
Not contented with repulsing the enemy, our aro
levies pursued him in their turn, and rushed opal
