Great News from France.
By the Rambler. Capt. Snow, We
| bare very late advice from FraHce'
The allies were rapidly marching
towards Paris. The light troops,
| principally Co.sacks. had penetrated
| 10 within is or 20 leagues of that ci.
ty-The allied Fl. @. were not far
behind.
Bonapartc joined his army near
Brieune the Goth January. Some
sharp fighting ensued the French
egisial accounts are given this day.
Il will be seen. that on the Sd Feb.
Bonapsrte sat Troyes. many miles
nearer Paris than Breinne. The al
fair 81 Breinue was msgnifed in Pa
ris to great vietory-But a letter
FROM Bordeaux .sys-"The Empe.
did no; gain the victory as reported
in the battle Of the goth. &C."
There is nothing from Italy. ex-
cepting a report from Bordeaux. that
Murat. King of Naples. had made
Deace 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.
Phe account that Soult had eva
eusted his encampment in Baysnne,
after leaving strong garrison in the
eiiade! and town. is amply confirmed.
Many of his troops had arrived in
Paris, and other plaees>Jon their way
to ioiu the Empersr's army.
The NEST extraordinary fact is,
that a Congress. Of the Belligerent
Ministers, including Lord Castle.
reagh from England. had convened
in CkatiIlon, in France, about 100
miles east Of Paris-and where di
pIomatique ceremonies had passed !;
| and some SORT of negotiations said to
be GA the carpet. Our verbal advices
are. that Russia and Prussia will not
consent to q pasification until it is
| negotiated in Paris.
We have nothing new from HoI-
| land-It does not appear that. An
twerp or tie French fleet in the Tex
ell. has fallen into the hands OF the
| Allies.
The {" muscadiaus' ofParis were
strongly terrifying their city against
an expected visit from their cid
friends the Cossaeks.

We copy the two following paragraphs from the
Arcadian Recorder, printed in Halifax. The supe-
risrity Of Yankee Gunnery. strikingy manifested
in the engage ment between the Peacock & Epervi-

rather u csntemptible opinion Of the boastcd Tars
Of Old England. ."-Saiem Register.
"When we contrast the admirable gunnery
of the Marlborough packet, in her most un-
fortunate taoo hours engagement with the
Primrose Is gun brig. with the apology for
gunnery exhibited on board II. M. late brig
L'Epervier, in the action between her and
the Peacock, u. S. ship, we canuot but regret,
that in the former instance, the American
Peacock had not been substituted for the Brit
ish Primrose, or, in the latter one, the Marl.
