LORD WELLINGTON.
We have TO announce on the most
upquestiona5e authority, that Lord
Wellington moved forward with his
main army between the 18Th & 5lh nll.
leayin. an adequate force Behind bin to
watch the motions Of the enemy al Bay
anne We can also undertake to say, ne
yer was there on army mere complete
and effective in every point of view
The late Frencn accounts Of the mi
litary operations upon the Seine, are
confirmed by more detailed and dis
tnct narrative, contained IN Paris Jour
nsls to the 23d ult. and by adyices re-
ceived by Ministers frorssthe Fl Quar-
tiers Of the Allies to the goth, Accord

Gen Wiltgrns.ein retreated by Provihs,
and is said TO have there acknowledged
his defeat. At Montereau on the 18th,
the enemy after more than once filling
ia their attack, succeeded in vanquish-
ing the Austiians who are stated to
have lost more than 5000 men, can
mons and standards.
Sharp censures and warm commer-
dations are freely given by Napoleon to
his CO commanders, according to their me-
rits The towns who resisted the al
les are particularly pointed out, as we'll
as those who were deficient in patriot
ism and expectations are expressed
that the inhabitapts will signalize them

The Confederptcs, during their retreat
which is co. 6dsn'lv anticipated
The intelligence contained in the
dispatches from Sir { Stewart and
Lord Rurslierst. differs little from
the French statements. except in the
computation Of Biucher's loss which
was of course greatly less than was
first represented. The Si!esian ar.
my bad been so much reinforced as
to consist on the Goth Of 10000 men.
1T WIS marching to join the grand
army, and its van guard was at Ar
It's. The head quarters of the Prince
SchwartZenberg were on the 10th
removed to ir0yes-about 20 miles
in rear OF the fields Of battle on the
i7th and 18th, and 100 miles from
Paris.
There are rumours that in great
battle fought on the east or a2d,
near Troyes, the Allies were again
worsted, with the loss Of $4,000
men, aud a great quantity Of cannon.
1t is further reported that Bonaparte
has determined not TO suspend hos
Utilities until the Allies have been
pushed to the right bank of the
Rhine.
The Dutch papers state that Gen.
Wiazingerode had taken Scissors by
storm, and occasioned loss to the
enemy Of 10000 men. His division
appears to have subsequently joined
Bineher, as the last French accounts
mention that Scissors was in their
possession.
The negotiation continue at Cha
til!on and the hopes Of Peace are
still strong.
Adyices from the h. quarters of the
Marquis Wellington mentioned that
between the 18th and f4th nlt. the
army left its environments, and adj
vanced. News of great interest may
therefore be Immediately looked for
from this quarter.
Letters were yesterday received
from Trieste, of the date of the 22d
ult. which give reason to suppose
that AnceHa has deyolved into the
possession of the Allies, several yes
sells having arrived from that port
at Trieste.
