ledged, but it may have been, on his pert, the
effect of a refined policy, as, perhaps, in thus
taking care of his own interests he gets himself
acknowledged at once by the Allies, without run-
ning the risk of committing them to the chances of a
negociation. It may, in fact, -remove some of the
obstacles to uegocialion with France, and thus
answer a double purpose. 1'
But what will the. Courier say to all this ? Since,
however, 'he has made a public acknowledgment of
the death of his hopes, we could wish tliatlis raving
and frantic spirit would be, ere long, laid at rest.
The death of the Courier's hopes respecting: the
restoration of the BOURBONS has been naturally
followed by au apotheosis. But, after the hopes of
the Courier have been thus so lamentably destroyed,
he seems to have a preserving eye against the incara•
ceration of his body, for in expressing a wish that the
people would lend 'a hand in getting rid of 801.
PARTE, he rebukes himself into silence, kit he
should have been guilty of a libel, but again consoles
himself that 4t Mr. Roatesors can hardly have
reached Chatillon yet."
The Courier combats the idea of " the justice and•
policy of England being required, in order to obtain.
peace, to make great sacrifices, because she has al-
ready been making immense sacrifices for years, not
only for herself, but for the cause 'of Enrepa:6l:
we understand the meaning of the word sacrifice, it
is a suffering from external agency, and not a volunr
tary act. If it then be found that we originally em.•

is evidently for interminable war, and will not hear
'of England making any saciiiice foi the blessings of
peace. He. even suggests that she should rather leave
the Allies to their option; that peace will give Bo-

NAPARTE an opportunity of dissolving the league by
his insidious arts ; and that, as it was the common
danger which united them, the moment that danger is
past, the bond of union will be broken. This ii
treating rather cavalierly, the principles, union, and
character of the Allies. It is'sayinit in other wordsl.
that they are not to be trusted out of the 'cilitiont
and direction of the Cabinet of St. James's, and that.
diey"tvill again become the panders of BOIA rAirr;
if they do not continue the subsidized tools of his
most inveterate enemy.
But as if this attack upon the consistency and vir-
tue of the Allies, were not enough to disgust them
with the malicious venom of a venal press, the
Courier complains bitterly of their shrinking from
the policy of proclaiming themselves the determined
supporters of the rights of the BOURBONS ; and by
say ing that he shall be mistaken, indeed, if they
have not soon cause to lament it, are we to understand,
that they are deserving of further and heavier chas-
tisement from the acknowledged superior military
tactics of NAPOLEON?
The Courier concludes this funeral oration upon
the death of his hopes, with an apostrophe to the
illustrious, ill-fated, ill-treated race Of the Bon tt-
DONS, and with a lament that they should be suffered
only to have a peep at the land of their forefathers ;
" the inheritance of their ancestors defiled and de-
graded by the most grinding tyranny; to behold le-
gitimate Sovereigns dealing, with their own hands,
the cruellest blow against legitimate rights ; to wit-
ness the assassin of one of their House sitting down
on terms of equality and familiarity with the as-
sembled Majesty of all the Crowned Heads of
Europe." Though the Courier does not say
that the Allies sent for them at all, and
thus to insult and mock their feelings; yet what
other inference can be drawn from such a scandalous
and calumnious passage ? His peroration is feelingly
pathetic, ludicrous, and libellous; and be cannot
contemplate with firm nerve and muscle the prospect
of peace, as BONAPARTE'S vile Legion of Honour
will, in all probability, mix amongst our brave
countrymen. 44 WELLINGTON Will be shouldered at
St. James's by a CAULINCOURT, or a DAVOUST ;130-
NAPARTE himself will be decorated with the Order of
the Garter ; and oar excellent REGENT be seen wear-
ing the grand cross of the Legion of Honour."—A
hicjacit of piteous lamentations forms the epitaph of
the Courier's dead hopes.

THE STATESMAN.

LONDON:
`WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2) 1814.

Pads Papers to the 25th ult. came to hand last !
night, from which it will be seen, that the reported
defetpf the Allied Armies at Troyes, on the 21st
end Mei, is-not confirmed. There has been no ge-
offal battle since those mentioned in the former Pa-1
pers.; and the only affair of any consequence ap- !
• pears to be a partial action at St. Martin-le-Bosnay,
on the road from Nogent to Troyes, in which SOO
- Frenchmen are stated to have overthrown .800 ca-
• viilryi killing 20, taking 160 men and 100 horses. I
One account mentions,' that NAPOLEON was at
Troyes on the 21st, but thii is evidently a mistake,
as it, is contradicted the following day, his head-
,
quarters being at Nugent. On the Llst) the ad-1
vanced-guard of the French army, under the Doke
• of ft omit), was at Bomilly, which is half way be- I
tween Nogent and Troyes. On the 21st, MARMONT
• was at Sezanne, keeping in check I'S/nat.:mm(3l3E,
who had retreated from Soissons, through Rheims,
'upon Chalons. MORTIER occupied Soissons, MAC-
DONALD was at Pavillon, and GIRARD had advanced
upon the Yonne to Sens, stretching to Villeneuve
I'Archiveque. Thus it is evident there has been no
battle since the 18th, except skirmishes, and the re- I
pulse of the Cossacks, who, it should seem, begin to
find their incursions attended with danger, as after I
laving spread themselves as far as Orleans, are now
hastily falling back, pursued by the peasants. They
are said to be guilty of the most horrible excesses.—
The conduct of the French Generals at Soissons is
said to have been very reprehensible, and NAPOLEON
relaxes not the least in his powerful military authority,
as the accused are immediately to be brought to trial.
But one of the most important pieces of intelligence in
this Bulletin is, that Araeneku has already left Lyons
at the head of a formidable army, to fall upon the
rear of the Allies in Franche Comte and Switzerland.
This is a very different measure to that of defending
the c3p:tal ; and the rise of the French funds proves
that the ahiriri which had been spread at Paris, 'from
an apprehension of the enemy's advance, has sub-,

Both Houses of Parliament re-assembled yester-
day, pursuant to adjournment. The desire of the
PRINCE REGENT, that a further adjournment to the
21st inst. should take place, was communicated to
the House of Peers by Lord LivrarooL, and to the
Commons by the CIIANCELLOR of the EICPIEQUER.

previous to his departure. He dined with the Noble

attendance with the Noble Earl before and after the
Cabinet Council. On Saturday and Sunday he also
