CHALONS-SUR-MARNk, ANtiatitir si

The sudden arrival of the Emperor at }Menne
had disconcerted the progress of the enemy;.. upon
Arcis and Nogent.
Blucher's corps suffered much in the affair of the
Nth, and was penetrated, notwithstanding all the
resistance it could make. Since the morning, infan-
tly, cavalry, and artillery, continue to arrive. It Is
certain that some Cossacks yesterday had occupied
the commune of Vetry-le-Brule. They signified to
the Mayor to remit them a contribution within a few
hours; it was promised them, but in the mean time,
the inhabitants found means to inform the Comman-
dant-General of Vetry-le-Francais, who immediately
sent off a detachment of Polish lancers, accompanied
with the national guards of the town of Vetry. Sur-
prised at its arrival to And no person, the detachment

fired a few musket.shots. The Cossacks then shelved
themselves, and wore attacked with much impetua,
sity. About a quarter of them were killed, others
wounded, and a great number taken prisoners. The
inhabitants of Vetry.le-Brule effectually seconded,
and thus concurred to the defence and. the deliver-,
ante of their territory. An old man, 82 years of age,
killed a Cossack witA a muslcat.shot.
Patties of the enemy 'hewed themselves on the.
side of Hilmorut ; measures were taken 'to clear the 1
country of them.
The defiles of the Argonne ate occupied by our
troops.
Nothing can equal the insolence of tin enemy's
troops s at St. Dizier, the soldiers talked openly of
the project of dismembering France.

i6TII MILITARY DIVISION.-"•ORDIIR OF THE DAY.

" In consequence of a general movement, corn-
tined and ordered by bis Majesty the Emperor, the

enemy has thrown some parties of cavalry on his 1

right flank, to disturb the army of Antwerp. It may
, be possible that some of these parties may dare to
present themselves towards the frontiers of the divi-
sion, hoping to impose on it by their presence and
their fallacious proclamations. They will be deceived
in their vain hope; they will every where find a bar-
rier of iron and of file—in fine, they will every where`
find Frenchmen.

" The Emperor has set out for his army. Some.
partial affairs, entirely to our advantage, have al-
ready taken place, and lead as to expect the most
happy results from his judicious combinations.

44 It will be necessary, in the present circumstances,
to redouble our zeal, activity, courage, and womb-
fulness. We must not expect to be completely sup-
plied with all we want, but must make the best use
we •an of our resources, which will enable us to de-
rive every possible advantage.
'• The Commandins d'Armes will take all possi-
ble measures of precaution, to prevent every kind of
surprise, and to gain information of the movements
which the enemy may attempt. They will previously
take the necessary measures to introduce into the

places, in case the enemy should present himself, the
nearest brigades of Bens d'armerie, and all the per-
sons employed by Government, is all the Admini-
strations, whom they shall form into companies, to
which they shall assign a service analogous to their
functions.

"The Commandans d'Atmes shall hasten as ranch

as possible in bringing provisions fbr a siege.
" The men leaving hospitals, and acknowledged
it to perform active service, shall be afterwards in-
corporated in the depots whkh are in the place ; and
if there are no depots, among the detachment of
troops which are there.
" Theenetny is not strong ; be can attempt no.
thing serious; it is, thereto'', only necessary to take
ii2ecautions against coos de main and surprises.
" I rely-on the zeal and devotedness of the Corn- ,
mandants to do all that -the good of the service shall
moire, under these circumstances.

TROVES, JANUARY SO.
Prince Schvrartzenberg arrived at Dijon rm the
9214 at midnight, and departed on the following day
at four in the afternoon for Langres. The column
come by Dijon is principally directed upon the road
of Troyes. A very weak detachment has taken the
road to Auxerre, and has no other object but to
create alarm. The Prince of Hesse-Homburg quitted
Dijon on the 24th, and went to Auxonne, which still
made a vigorous resistance. On the 25th, 3000 men
left Dijon, where there remaioed not more than 1000.
