GRAND ARMY"ffiIif.ALLIRS.

GEN ERAi. ORDER.

Head-ciunrter4; Mem* Jan. 8. ISI4.
At this moment, when the army is advancing upati
the French territory, I think it my duty to remind
the Commanders of corps, of the ciders which pre•
ceded that movement, and to enjoin them to redouble
their zeal for the maintenance of order and
pline. They will exact the same attention under a
responsibility the most extensive, from all Com-
minders of regiments, battalions,. Th_a_tvAps

Bible on the inhabitants; and On st:account mast
they exact more than the fixed marching allowance:
The conduct and exact discipline of the soldier mast
fulfil the solemn engagement entered into by the
Monarchs, in their, Declaration to the French
people; must convince them .that • we do not make
war upon them, and that %%e now are in the midst
of them only to conquer peace, and to enable them
to participate of its blessings. The army in uniting
to its well proved ►alour the most se►ere discipline,
will fix the admiration of its own age, and of gene-
rations to come. I.

The Commandants of corps will
.flpsit to -their
troops the order that the most s►'vere:punishmeat will
be inflicted on every offender,ls due to Ihe hotiott of
the army which is entrusted to my command. They
will also every where announce, that every inhabitant
out of unform, taken witl► arms in his hand, being
only to be considered in such case as a malefactor or
'raisin, shall be judically condemned as such, and
punished with death.
The town, city, or village, the leh.leitaets of which
shall oppose any resistance, and' toulibit any 'goblet
hostility, shall be razed,.and reduced Aro ash.

THE STATESMANA

LONDON:

1:1,

TUESDAYS FEBRUARY 8, 18k4

Paris Papers to the 3d instant, troludiei last
night. 'They contain the ticennnt AM bailie In
the neighbourhood of Brienni, which .bad already
been cpmmunicated to us by private letters. '11:0,
courier who brought the intelligence to Paris, saw,
it is said, 15,000 prisoners brought in, and 25 pieces
of cannon had been taken previous to his departure.
The most important feature of the account is, that
the country people, armed with scythes, pikes, forks,
and sticks shod with iron, were extremely active
and efficient.
.That ti battle of some. importance has
taken place, and that theradvantage his been pa the
side of Fiance, is evident enough, although the parti-
culars being. announced only though the minor
journals, are not entitled to the same attention as if
they had been officially inserted in the hifonitettr.----
The news of 'the victory is said to hive excited the
greatest joy at Paris, where, as well as in the depart-
ments, the warmest attachment is manifested to the Go-
vernment. In the payment of the contribution and
in supplying their contingents to the new levies, the
provinces rival the zeal of each other. JOSEPH
BONAPARTE has again appeared upon the political
stage. On the Ist ipst. he reviewed troops of various
descriptions in the Court of the Thuilleries. The
spirit of the French People, as manifested by their re-
Ll,,t conduct, may in'saileirieatrure be-ascribed to the
General Order issued .by the Allies on thitlith of
January. This 'General Ord*, .iiirpasses, in vio-
lence and injustice, even .the notorious Address of
Marshal BLUCHER. It CalitRIRS the following pas-
sages :—" The Commandants of corps will every
where announce, that every inhabitant out of uni-
form, taken with arms in his hand, being only to be
considered, in such case, as a. malefactor ortisissin,
shall be judicially condemned as such; inad punished
with death. The city, town, or ail lage;'l4- inhabitant•
of which shall oppose.any resistance, and commit any
acts of hostility, shall be razed and reduced to ashes.-:..
Thus, notwithstanding we have been constantly 1:t1
that the people of France were not disposed to ()lUr
any resistance to the Allies, that on the contrary
they detested their own Government, and would re,
joice in its subversion, we 'bud the Commander of
the coalesced Powers, resorting to measures Ike
most rigorous and atrocious to curb the rising spirit
of opposition ! How audacious a're the attempts
made to impose on the credulity of the English
people! Since the day when this distinct and.
emphatic avowal of alarm, from the efforts of the
French population, was made at 'the headivartere
of the Allies) not a single day bas elayseci !itch/
