Great News from France

BY the Rambler, Capt Snow, we have
very late advice from France.
The allies were rapidly marching towards
Paris. The light troops, principally Cos
sacks, had penetrated to within Is or 90
leagues of that cty-The allied H. @ were
not far behind
Bonaparte Joined his army near Breinne
the 26th January. Some sharp fighting en-
sued; the French official accounts are Civ
en- this day 1t will be seen, that on the
Sd Feb. Bonaparte was at Troyes, many
miles nearer Paris than Breinne The af-
fair of Breinne was magnifed in Paris to
great victory-But letter from Bordeaux
says" The Emperor did not gain the vic
tory as reported in the battle of the 29th,
&c"
There is nothing from Italy, excepting a
report from Bordeaux, that Murat, King
of Naples, had made peace with the allies.
on condition to be allowed to remain King
for life, and after his death that the crown
should revert to the House of Sicily.
The account that Soult had evacuated
MS encampment in Bayonne, after leaving
strong garrison in the citadel and town,
Is amply cofirmed. Many ofhis troops had
arrived in Paris, and other places, on their
wa" to Join the Emperor's army.
The most extraordinary fact is that the
Congress of the Belligerent Ministers, in
GLIDING Lord Castleresgh from England
had convened in Chatillon, France, abou
100 miles east Of Paris-and where diploma
tique ceremonies had passed; and som,
sort ofnegotiations said to he on the carpet
Our verbal advices arc, that Russia ant
Prussia will not consent to a pacifcatiol
until ii is negotiated in Paris
We have nothing new from Holland-I
does not appear that Antwerp or tn
French fleet in the Texel, has fallen int
the hands of the Allies
The " muscadians'' Of Paris were stronel
fortifyipg their city against an expected visi
from their old friends the Cossacks.

WASHINGTON CITY, March %.
TILE My

There has recently been transmitted to
the Senate by the Secretary of the Maya
very interesting report on the state of the
Navy. From this Report it appears that
three seventy four gun ships are building:
one at Portsmouth, N. III one at Charles.
town, Mass and one at Philadelphia-the
two former expected to be launched in the
month of July, and the latter in the month
of December. Three ships of Al guns each
are also building, one at Philadelphia, one
at Baltimore, and one at the Navy yard in
this city-the two former to be launched
by the middle of April, and the latter in
all the month of July next The six sloops
of war, authorised by law have been built,
two of which are at sea, three more nearly
ready, and the sixth equipping at the Navy
Yard in this city Eleven barges have
been purchased, twelve have been built,
and twenty two are building and nearly
completed at variors points CFgun boats
there are in service and fit for service, 1885,
The secretary recommends an increase OF
the Marine Corps; the appointment ofot-s
ficers exclusively FOR hotlla service and
points out the right bank of the Hudson,
| above the highlands, as the best settle In a
| central situation for the establishment OF q
dock yard. The Secretary, in considera-
ton of the increase already authorised, and
the number of vessels launched and about
to be launched, and requiring to be officer
ed and named; and considering also the
difficulty of procuring more materials for
building than can be used under existing
laws states his opinion, that any further
provision at present for the increase of our
naval force, would not add to its efficiency,
and therefore is not necessary.
