alarm existed in Paris and that ma.
ny were moving their vsluabels-
That there were reports OF pecsnt
battles in which the allies were sue
csssful--rhat Denmark bad joined
the sllies-That the citadel Of Bay
onne had not surrendered-and that
there had been no recent fighting
near that place.
Mr.. Prsoss states it to have been
reported ut Bordeaux, that Ham
burgh had surrendered to the Swe-
dish army.
A letter from an American PUB
lie character in Paris, dated 25th
January says. +" expect eur Minis.
tiers in Russia will reach the Uni,ed
States before the Rambler"
From the Boston Daily Gazette.
By the arrival Of the Rambler, We
have received Gle Of Bordeaux papers
10 the eth of February, from which we
have made such TRANSACTIONS as time
would permit. We have also bssn Ia
vored with extracts from private letters,
which will be found below. The news
which VIC have been able to CLEAN from
these, as we'll as from conversation
with the passengers, We Will endsavor
to recapitulate:
The allies were advancing into France
in every direstion, and had already APP
preached within 60 miles Of the capital.
The greatest apprehensions were en-
,ertained fer the safety of Paris, ard e.
very exsrtion was making t. fortify It.
The emperor had caused trenches to De
dug around the city, and the beautiful
groves in its vicinity to be cut down Ter
palisades.
He left the city himself on the 76th OF
January having appointed the Empress
Regent, aud h,s brother Joseph his Ii.
Gen. and charged him with the defence
of the Metropolis. The official account
of his battles Immediately after joining
his army We have published at length.
Notwithstanding his attemp: to disguise
the truth, il is evident that he was
wsrstsd in every engagements such
was the general opinion in Bordeaax-
it is certain that ne has continued 10
retreat.-The disaffectisD among the
people was general Piacards had been
put up in the Theatre at Bordeaux,
deaosncing the tyrant. The levy en-
mssss could ne, be carried into effect.
The armies were scattered, and compos-
ed chiefly ofraw recruits--It was said
that the Cossacks had shewn them
selves at Fontainblau, within IS miles ct
P,ris-It was reported too that Murat,
the King of Naples. had made bis peace
with the aihes, and notwithstanding the
statements in the papers. it was believed
that Denmark had joined the common
cause. A rumor Was circulating that
,he Grown Prince had taken Hamburger.
Numerous failures had taken place in
Paris-And Bopapafte having taken ell
the specis from the vauits, the Bank
had been obliged to stop payment. Stock
which cost originally llso francs had
fallen TO $50.
Bayonne tad not been .sksn a. late
as the 10th Of FEB. There had been
some skirmishes between the armies,
but when the Rambler sailed Lord Wei
lington had made no decisive movement.
His force vas estimated at lcO. 900 meR
Souit's army at about 10000.
A negosistien for general peace had
commenced q, Chatiilon sur Seine
Manheia. vas the place selected by Ma
poleon in Dec. to treat on The basis OF
fered by the allies, as stated III the note
Of the Baron &c 81. Aiguaa. Il will be
remembered that the Count de Fontanes
complained in ms speech of the esth OF
Dec. tia. the allies had refused TO al.
mere to these terms. Il now appears
that the seat, as well as the conditions
of negoeistioR is changed. The Paris
papers speak fsvorably AZ to its pro-
gress. This language may be polite.
We find in the Bordeaux Iadicsteur,
London dates to the 2eth Of Jan. but no
articles of News.
A Paris Paper Of the 9th Of Feb. was
received at Bordeaux, Just as the Ram
bier was sailing. 1t contained nothing
OF importance, bat the mention Of dis.
patching of Courier to England BY
