our provinces only ; it is to save the country Itself,

and compered people, that the Sovereign calla no to
the field of honour.
What gratitude do we not owe.to those brave men
who repel, with such magnanimous courage, all the
efforts of the enemy. Our armies have shown him,
that the French are especially invincible, when they
fight to deliver their territory, under the eyes of their
Sovereign.
I.The successes which we hay.e just obtained have'
animated our army with new courage, and ought to'
be a presage to the other armies of the coalition, of
the fate that awaits them. Let ua preserve, then,
the attitude which becomes the French. Each of
us has duties to fulfil, and it is by fulfilling them
that we shall prove to all Europe that the French
nation is worthy of the high rank which it occupies
among civilized nations. What sacrifice can be too
great when it is made to second the vie*s of Govertr-
meat. Assist, our brave defenders, and save the
country.,

gaining the victories of the 10th and 11th of this
month, and disappointing the hopes of the enemy."
In the evening the Mayor caused to be published,
by torch-light, the second telegraphic bulletin, an-
nouncing the continuation of the victories pitied by
his Majesty. The people of the good city of Lisle
received the news with the most lively demonstratiopa
of joy, and with repeated shouts of fire

the Theatre, and inspired extempore songs, bearing
the stamp of the purest patriotism, and the most
entire confidence in the genius of the hero who has
sworn to save France.

columns advance to support the fire of the void-
geurs, who were warmly engaged. Lieutenant-Ge-
neral Grenier advanced by the heights on the right,
with the division Maresguet, while with the division
Fressinet, General Verdier marched by the heights on
the left. The ettem), the ugh protected by batteries on
the opposite heights, could not support the shock of
our troops. All the positions on which they attempt-
ed to make a stand were successively carried, and
they were forced to repass the Mincio. We took 200
prisoners, and they left an equal number of dead on
the field of battle. We have had 20 men killed, and 150
wounded. Thus the enemy's second attempt has been
baffled like tl,e first.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1814.

[ .In a Second Edition, last night, we announced
the arrival of Paris Papers to the 21st instant, and
communicated the reports which prevailed as to their 1
contents. These reports, we now find, presented a
highly-exaggerated statement of the advantages I
gained by the Freoch, although we were correct in our
information that French Papers to the above date
had reached town, and that the military operations
still continued favourable to the French arms.—The
new action, in which .the Allies hare endured a re-
petition of disaster, was fought on the 18th, at
Montereau. The Emperor having learned that the
Bavarian corps of General WREDE) with the Wk.,
temhergers, were placed in this position, advanced
'wards them with the corps of VICTOR and General'
GIRARD, and the horse and foot guard. He was
further strengthened by the advance of ' General
/Jot., from Melo. The Allies attempted, but in
lan, to defend their position—they, wee driven over
