Paris Papers to the 16th inst. were received on
Saturday night. They do not contaia any intelli-
gence of great importance. But yet, amidst the id-
tricaq and confusion which. form their distinguish-
int characteristic, it is impossible notto find in them
statements that tend td tire sanction to the intellia
gence some days ago received of considerable advert.;
tages having been obtained by the army under Bt.o.
coca over the French commanded by MAcDONILD,
•in Silesia. Torrents of rain fell ; the Bober rose to
such a height as to carry away the bridges, the
French columns were separated from each other,
and in consequence of these untoward circumstances,
the_ 66 brilliant success," which had been confi- '
deutly anticipated, was not attained.-:-At night
