rapidity, as not to have time afforded for their de-
struction, and the French were, in coosegoence,
enabled to follow up the pursuit. They had taken,
at the moment when the accounts were made up,
3000 prisoners and three pieces of cannon. -The in.
telligeneb now received proves, that the army, aids
which BONAPARTE has had to contend, since he re+
turned from the scenes of hie operations against
BLUCHER, was not, as bad been supposed, the army.

the greatest surprise, that no mention should es
made in the French Papers of the position_ce'reete-'

of such a multitude of armed Men, a proceeding
that in its nature can be clandestine ? The French
people are told openly enough 'of the 'advance of

That he has not yet returned to -Paris, or to the
head-quarters of the Emperor, the silence of the
1 French Papers assures us. It is remarkable,
!
that the cessation of diplomatic intercourse has
never been noticed in the French Papers; that
attempts to inflame the indignation of the peo-
ple, by invectives against the duplicity and
tergiversation of the . Allies, have not, since this
event, which furnished so favottrable.akopportunity
for them, been made. Is it that BONAPARTE medi-
tates the restoration of amity with some of the Allies,
and, therefore, cautiously abstains from :accusations
in which exceptions could not be made •iii -*loony of

! able than all the rest, is the peewit •conditiOn of
I France, is the steadiness of price tuaititained by
their Government , securities. The: All' . draw

nearer and nearer to Paris, and thelleild property,
instead of being, as one would expectomibsolute
drug, incapable of transfer at. •ny . price, appears
lactually to rise in value as they. approach that
I capital. Is it possible that the dispeeitito of Aus-
tria to oppose the inordinate and aajost" designs of
her Allies, can have become known In the money
market, at Paris, although all allasiowto it is, by
the policy of the Government, lorbidden to the pe-
riodical press? This supposition would at once ac-
count fora circumstance so extraordinary ; upoii any
other, it is quite incomprehensible. If Alois wavers

' in her adherence to' the cause of the Allies, their ad-
vance to the very gates of Paris would be an event
most desirable to France, for it must at once deter-.
mine the conduct of the Emperor FaAsets, and add
! to the countless dangers and Losses which the Allies
could not fail to sustain in a retreat, which his de-
-1 fection would render unavoidable. The battle of the

I.7th, at Nangis, which the French Papers published
yesterday, stated to have terminated in a victorfon
the part of BONAPARTE, is no further noticed in the
Papers, which reached town last night, than by an
annunciation, that the Austrian, Prussian; and Rus-
sian prisoners, the results of that victory, had mi..
tered Paris on the 18th, by 'Ail' berrierit of
Paulin and Charenton. On the 17th, the•ftexisisPas
were entertained by a treat of rather It novel
description, and which, in their Ketont s:4count.
stances, could not fall to be received with the,
most ardent enthusiasm. This was Abe entrance of
ALSETIEF, and two other captive Generals, Who
were led in triumph into their city: Private contri-
butions, to the greatest extent, of every article useful
to an army, are said to be daily received at the
