General Note:
The Berbice gazette, published in New Amsterdam, Berbice, began between 1804 (Berbice gazette, December 7, 1901, page 1) and 1806 (Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, October 1918, page 285), depending on the source consulted, although there is reference to a newspaper located in New Amsterdam by this name in a letter dated May 7, 1805 (Kort historisch verhaal van den eersten aanleg, lotgevallen en voortgang der particuliere colonie Berbice, gelegen in het landschap Guiana in Zuid-America, 1807). Nicolaas Volkerts is often credited with establishing the Berbice gazette, however he was publishing the Essequebo and Demerary gazette in Stabroek, Demerara (now Georgetown, Guyana) until 1806, when he lost his status as the government printer to his former partner, then rival, Edward James Henery, publisher of the Essequebo and Demerary royal gazette. Volkerts remained in Demerara until July 1807, making it unlikely for him to have been the original publisher of the Berbice gazette. By 1813, the newspaper had been sold to William Schulz, who would oversee publication of the newspaper for the next two to three decades. In 1822, the title of the paper was briefly changed to the Berbice gazette and New Amsterdam advertiser, before becoming the Berbice royal gazette and New Amsterdam advertiser, a few months later. Around 1837, the name of the paper was shortened to the Berbice advertiser, which only lasted until May 1840 (Journal of the Statistical Society of London, July 1841, page 125). The discontinuation of the Berbice advertiser may have been a result of a libel suit against the then publisher John Emery (Legal observer, or, Journal of jurisprudence, November 9, 1844, page 19). Whatever the reason behind the cessation of the Berbice advertiser, it was soon after replaced by another iteration of the Berbice gazette, started by George A. M'Kidd around 1841. Sometime between 1846 and 1858, the name of the newspaper changed to become the Berbice gazette and British Guiana advertiser (The Creole, March 6, 1858, page 1). Publication was suspended for a few months that year but returned in December 1858 as a weekly newspaper with a new publisher, John Thompson (The Creole, December 11, 1858, page 2). Thompson returned the name of the newspaper to the Berbice gazette in 1877 and continued to publish it until his death in 1879. Charles Edwin Hooten purchased the newspaper and ran it for the next 8 years, until falling into the hands of its final publisher, William MacDonald. The Berbice gazette published its final issue on March 29, 1902.

NEW AMSTERDAM,
HATURD.trj Aphis. 16, 1814.
No arrivals this week.—The is said, have
arrived in Surinam cn Sunday lusty so that we arc nous
expecting her every moment.
We learn from the Oronoque, that in Feb. last, two
sanguinary battles had been fought between the Royalists
and Revolutionist; one uear Couro, and the other near
Ospinos, in which the former were complete rictorious—•
the force of the Republicans in the latter is slated at un unwards
wards unwards of 2000. The town of in smsequtmee,
was brilliantly illuminated.
RECENT BATTLES IN FRANCE,
LONDON.
Feb. 22.—We have received in the Paris Papers to th a
16th, official accounts of the military opeiaim.u
ions from the 3d to the morning of the lot. inst, •
reviewing them in the order in which they oec
some similitude between them and the o t .
Elbe that preceded and prepared the b <• of <„
Bonaparte’s first intention seems to Ua .e ; j
movements against the allied army under 2 .
zenberg. Accordingly on his arrival at Ti >\ - cue
3d, he made his dispositions with a view to keep iLh i- ;
in check; but the rapid advance of Marshal Blue, r
Chalons and Vitry, obliged h.m to proceed with all .
sible speed to Nogent, leaving the field open to the Au Austrians
strians Austrians under the Prince of Schwartzenberg—Macdonald
was on the 7th between Chalons and Eperna., and on thj
10th at Meaux, three marches only from Paris. Not a
moment was to be lost. Ail Bonaparte’s forces was ne necessary
cessary necessary in this quarter: he arrived himself at Nogent on
the 7th, Blucher was on the 10th at Vertos, midway be between
tween between Chalons and Montmirail, whilst General AlsusielF
was at Champ Aubert, and the more advanced divisions,
under Sachen and Yorck, at La Ferte sons Jouaire not
more than 30 miles from Paris. Macdonald had taken
the precaution to brake down the bridges as he retreated.
Some persons seem to think Bhuher occupied too long a
line, and that the extent of it necessarily weakening it,
gave Bonaparle an opportunity of cutting through it, and
separating one part from the other. We shall be slow to
censure the operations of a man who has done more than
any other General towards contributing to the present
glorious sjtate of affairs. However, on the. lOtb, Bona Bonaparte
parte Bonaparte endeavoured to cut the Silesian army in two.

(No. 500.

[Payable in advance.



Action of t)i£ ICA.*—This first action was solely with
that part of the Silesian army which was at Champ Au Aubert,
bert, Aubert, under General Alsusvff, and which is stated to have
been not more than B'Xk) strong. Bonaparte had evident evidently
ly evidently a much superior force at this point, and Champaubert
was carried with a Joss, according to the enemy’s account,
of 6000 men. Bonaparte now evidently brought up his
•whole force to Montmirial; it consisted of Nansouty’s,
Guyot’s, Marmobt’s, Ricart’s, Ney’s, Mortier’s, and
Friant’s divisions :
Adon of the llf/r.—Upon receiving information of the
attack upon the division of the Silesian army that was at
Champaubert, Gens. Sachen and Yorck retrograded ; the
former from Feite sons Jouairc, the latter from Chateau
Thierry. Gen. Sachen marched the whole night, arrived
time enough to join Gen. Yorck. Marshal Blucher was
at Vertus. From the enemy’s account of the battle, it
appears not only to have been a most obstinate one, but
that till towards the evening, the victory was on the side
of the Allies. The village of Marchais was taken and re retaken
taken retaken several times during the day. All the reserve that
was at Sezanne was successively brought up to dispossess
the Allies of the farm of Epine aux Bois, which was the
key of the position, and the possession of which bv the
enemy, could alone turn the scale in th ir favour. Blucher,
aware of the importance of this position, hail placed 40
pieces of cannon on it, and astrong force of infantry.
Mean while the enemy abandoned part of the vi’lage of
Marchais; they were probably driven from it, though
they state the movement to have been a voluntary one.
Some troops were drawn from the centre of the Allies to
render the success at tins point complete. In this they
appear to have cucceeded. In the interim, Bonaparte
poured wholemasses upon Epine.aux.Bois, and still with without
out without effect. Success was a long time balanced. But ac according
cording according to the French account, their cavalry turned the
position upon the right, and attacked the infantry of the
Allies in the rear. The battle continued till night, and,
making theallowances for the exaggerations of the enemy,
we dire say the loss on each side was nearly equal. Bo Bonaparte
naparte Bonaparte obtained the advantage of taking the position of
E pin®-aux-Boise. —The allies fell back upon Chateau
Thierry, and though we arc informed that “Generals,
officers, soldiers, infantry, cavalry, and artillery, all fled
pell-mell on the preceding night,” we find them next
morning covering th'»r retreat with eight battalions of
fresh troops, retiring leisurely, d.finding such positions
as were necessary, and although Mortier was said in the
battle of the day before to have taken Fontenelle, directly
in the march from Montmirail to Chateau Thierry : and
though Nansouty is said, with the French cavalry on the
morning of the 12th, to have marched between Chateau
Thierry and the allies, yet still the latter reached Chateau
Thierry, Prince William of Prussia, with a reserve, re receiving
ceiving receiving them at the suburbs, and protecting their retreat.
They burnt the bridges, carried off their artillery, and
checked the enemy by unmasking a battery on the right
bank of the Marne. They fell back on the road to Rheims.
The 12th, and part of the 13th, were passed by Bonaparte
in repairing the bride s of Chateau Thierry.—ln the after afternoon
noon afternoon of the 13th, Mortier passed the Marne in pursuit of
the Allies towards Rhitms: In pursuit of the Allies!
Why the Paris Papers stated that they were destroyed;
men, material, artillery, every thing. However, whilst
Macdonald was in pursuit of this no longer existing army,
Blucher did not remain idle at Vertus. He was joined by
General Langeron and General Kleist on the 13th, and
immediately marched against Marmont, who was at Eroges,
between Champaubert and Vertus. Marmont retreated
and fell back upon Montmirail on the morning of the 14th.
This movement recalled Bonaparte immediately from Cha.
lean Thierry.—Wiiuingerode was beyond Rheims before
the 12th.
Action of the l\/h.— Blucher had taken up a position
at the village of Vanchamp. Marmont attacked it and
failed. It was several times vigorously attacked and as
vigorously defended, taken and retaken several times.
Grouchy made a movement into the rear, and the Allies
retreated to Champaubert. Grouchy is said to have
reached that place before them, and they were surrounded.
But then comes an is—ls the light artillery could have
come up they would all have been taken. However,
10,000 prisoner, 10 pieces of cannon, and 10 colours, are
raid to har® been taken, “And thus,” adds Bonaparte,

“the Silesian army, composed of the Russian corps of
Sacken and Langeron, and the Prussian of Kleist and
Yorck, 80,000 strong, has been in four days beaten, dis dispersed,
persed, dispersed, annihilated, w ithout a general action, and without
any loss proportioned to such great results.” —\Ve have
been so accustomed to Bonaparte’s aunihilatiug armies
upon paper, which we find afterwards to be healthy and
active in the field, that we confess we are not much in intimidated
timidated intimidated by the sentence we have just quoted.—Where
Bonaparte was on the morning of the 15th it is not said,
but we believe at Montmirail.
London, Feb. 23. — The Paris papers to the 19th justify
the belief we expressed yesterday, that the Austrian army,
under Prince Swartzenberg, had not been inactive during
the operations against the Silesian army. The Prince
marched from Troyes, as we said he intended to do, on the
10th, and proceed towards Nogent and Bray. Bonaparte
had left Victor and Gerard before Nogent; Oudinot at
Provins, nearer Paris; and Pajol near Moatereau and
Melon. As soon as the Austrians had broken up from
Troyes, Victor retired fromNegont across the Seine, and
left Gen. Bourmont at Nogent with about 1200 men.
The French official account inform us, the Austrians ap appeared
peared appeared before Nogent on the 11th, and that on that and
the next day they made several attacks upon it without
success. But we suspect that these were mere feints,
calculated to deceive the enemy, and draw their attention
upon Nogent, whilst the main body of the army took
another direction. Bray on the Seine, rather nearer
Paris than Nogent, had not been fortified, and no corps
seems to have been stationed there f>r its defence. The
Austrians entered it, and crossed the Seine without ©posi ©position.
tion. ©position. The position of Nogent then became of little im importance
portance importance so the enemy, and Victor destroying the bridg s,
I fell back upon Naugis. Oudinot abandoned Provins a!
! the same time, and retired to the little river Yeres, which
> runs into the Seine. Pajol took the same direction, aftei
blowing up the bridges of Montereau and Melun. This
was the situation of affairs on the 15th. The French
army about 30 miles—the Austrian army scarcely more
than 40 miles from Paris.
On the 16th, Bonapaite, recalled from Montmirail by
the advance of the Austrians from Troyes, arrived upon
the Yeres, and fixed his headquarter at Guignes, on the
southern bank of the Yeres.—Here the official account
closes, on the morning of the 17th.—But the Moniteur of
the 18th adds, that letters from the army, dated from
Nangis, at noon, on the 17th, announce that Bonaparte
had attacked the enemy, and had, “at that moment in
his power 6000 prisoners, amongst whom were several
Generals and a great number of Officers, and 14 piece* of
cannon. He was following up his success.”
We have thus only the account of the commencement
of the battle—a battle successfully began may not be sue suecessfully
cessfully suecessfully endid. The great Frederic’s campaigns furnish
a memorable instance of this;—ho wrote once to the
Queen at Berlin, saying, that the day was his own, and
desiring Te Detim to be celebrated. In the evening, he
sent a dispatch of a very different nature—“ Victory is
against us, remove the atchieves from Berlin, and make
the best terms you can for the city.” To these letters,
written by no official persons, little attention perhaps is
due.—ls letters could be written ;an official dispatch could
also be written; and as the Moniteur of the 18th is print,
cd like our Morning Papers, on the night of th# 17th. a
dispatch sent off on the evening of the 17th might easily
A'ach Paris time enough to appear in the Moniteur of the
18th. A signal Victory over the Austrians would be of
that importance to Bonaparte that he would immediately
transmit it to all parts. The guns of Bologne would
have announced it, and telegraphic dispatches would
have reached us from the French coast, We might easily
have had this morning a telegraphic dispatch from the
army down to the 20th inclusive.
In yhat an anxious, critical state do these papers leave
us! The armies of Austria, and Prussia, so near Paris
that the sound of the cannon may almost be heard at
the Thuilleriea!
Whilt these events arc passing within 30 miles of Paris
Bulow and Winzingede must be cuming up to reinforce
Marshal Blucher.—The former was, on the 12th, pushing
on to Mons. The latter, having his head-quarters at
Namur, has sent his advanced-guard to Avesnes and
Rheims, of which it had taken possession, By the 20th,

they might be able to join Blucher. The Crown Prince
was to follow Bulow and Winzitigerode.—Such are the
military accounts in these Paris Papers. We contemplate
them without any diminution of the confidence we have
placed in the military efforts of the Allies.—Would tha|t
we could say that th-ir policy afforded us equal satisfac.
tion ! But hear no more of negociators or Plcnipoten.

It is to be remarked and we remark it with pleasure, that

that the right and centre of the army would move up th®

I BULLETIN OF THE CROWN PRINCE’S ARMY.
“l]end- “The Prince Royal set out from Buckenbourg on the
9th to proceed by Leipstadt and Eberfeldt to Cologne,
where his Royal Highness arrived on the l()th at night.
He passed the Rhine amidst the sound of cannon, and
both banks resounded with the acclamations of the inha.
bitants. The whole population of Cologne went out to
meet him at the river side; and never was the enthusiasm
of a people, delivered from an oppressive yoke, expressed
with more inianimify ai)d ardour. The city was illumi illuminated
nated illuminated at nijit. Yesterday there was a grand ball, which
his Royal Highness honored with his presence.
“As the combio d army of the North of Germany is
about to commence a more active campaign in these, coun countries,
tries, countries, it is neecs ary to state the march of the different
corps that compose it, and the ulterior prospects of the
Prince Roy al.
“The corps of Gen. Bulow, forming the right of the
army, is in the envirous of Brussels, and has pushed its
advanced posts in the direction of Mons.
“Genera! Winzingerode, whose head.quarters are at
Namur, form? the centre, lie has already got possession
of the towns of Alons, Avcsnes, and Rheims, of which he
has sent the keys to th I’iiir.e Royal, who will transmit
them to the Emperor Alexander.
“The cor s of Count Woronzoff, which has passed the
R.iinc here, lakes also the direction of Namur to come in
contact with that of Wiazingerode. Geu. Strogonoff is
about to follow it.
“ The adv a iced guard of the 'Swedish army will be on
the 21St upon the Rhine, so that th whale umy v. ill have
passed the river before the eq 1 of the month.
“I he Danish troops t.iki'the route of Dusseldorff, pass,
ing by Bremen and Mun ter, and will proceed from thence
further on the line of operations.
“The intention of his Royal Highness is to unite the
whole army under his orders upon a line between Sois-sons
and Rhciiu.', and then to act according to circumstances.”
SUFFERERS AT LEAPSIG.
Among those who have severely felt (he calamities of
war iu Germany, few have suffered more than Air. J. A.
Schneider, of Schonefeldt, within six miles of Leipsig,
brother to Mr. J. H. Schneider, of Handsword, near Bir Birmingham.
mingham. Birmingham. It appears that Mr.S. in April last, out of pure
regard for the good cause, afforded accommodation to a
Russian Prince, 26 Officers, 36 servants, and 1 10 soldiers,
for eight day s, at an expence of 5000 dollars; the Prince
and his Start expressed themselves highly pleased with
their hospitable treatment. Ihe French troops speedily
followed'the Russians, and finding Mr. S. had so well ac.
commodated them, orders were given by one of Bonapar.
Tc’s Generals, on the sth of May, that Schonefeldt should
be plundered, which was carried into effect, and to the
value of upwards of 9000 dollars; and he afterwards had
French troops continually quartered on him, which cost
upwards of 15,000 dollars more.
“On the 14th October, in the evening at six o’clock
(says Mr. S. in a letter to his brother), the French Em.
perm’s baggage arrived, with 110 horses, 50 servants, and
remained until the 17th. On the 16th* in the evening,
arrived Marshals Ney and Marmont, Prince Poniatowsky,
nine French Generals, two of Wirtemberg, 30 Officers,
with 1400 infantry, and 800 cavalry, 200 oxen, and re.
mained until the 17th in the evening; besides, my village
*as filled with other troops. Guess what confusion and
destruction took place on my premises, and in my cellars
®f wine and brandy, and in the barns in provisions, &c.
â– I he 18th qf October was the most terrible and destructive

day. At elefren o’dock, orders were received to set fire to
my house. At twelve o’clock, I and my people were
chased out into my gardens, and kept there for one hour
and a half, and forced to set the whole on fire, and to see
the whole in flames, and at last driven rear to the wind windmill,
mill, windmill, under the cannonade of 14 cannon cf four.pounders,
the balls Hying over and beside me, yet no; e touched me :
although, in the agony of mind I was in, 1 could have
wished they had, as 1 had no wish to survive the dreadful
sight of my house, my courts, and offices (which were
before in such excellent order), being destroyed to ashes ;
18 cows and nine horses burnt, 15 cows shot, nine horses
stolen, and all the sheep destroyed ; my arches in the lower
pari of the house, containing my papers and valuables,
burnt and melted ; and to increase my misfortune, 2400
louis d’ors, which I had sent to Halle to pay for an estate,
were returned to me, and placed in the iron chest, and
were lost with the rest. 150,(XX) dollars are not sufficient
to repair the loss 1 have suffered.
“A French Officer assured me, that I was plundered
on the sth of May, because a person in Leipsig had given
information that the estate at Schonafeldt would become
the property of an English lady.”
The President frigate, Commodore Rodgers, had ar.
rived at New York, after destroying 2'2 vessels.
The. United States’ ship Constitution, after her escape
from Porto Rico, has gone in pursuit of the Jamaica fleet
under convoy of the Cleopatra frigate, which had onlj
two days start of her. It is also stated on the authority
of an arrival at the Island of St. Thomas, that a severe
engagement had lately taken place off" (he Cape de Verd
Islands, between the British frigates Creole and Aslreu,
and the French frigates L' Etoile and Sullane, the two
latter of whom made, their escape, notwithstanding one of
them lost both her main and mizen masts. Capt. Eveleigh,
acting on board the Astrca, having been killed in action.
Capt. M’Kenzie, of the Creole, directed both to put into
Goicc, where they refitted, and sailed again in quest of the
enemy.
We can now positively assert, that all doubts with res.
pect to Murat, King of Naples, are removed : he abandons
the cause of Bonaparte, and takes a decisive part in favour
of the Allies. An arrangement has been entered into with
him, the particulars of which have not yet transpired.
He is to remain King of Naples.
1 11!' number of retired Lieutenants of the Royal Navy,
by an Order in Council, lately issued, has been increased
from 50 to 80.
The Crown Prince of Sweden, to testify the high sense
he entertained of the services performed by the late Capt.
Bogue, who gloriously fell in dealing destruction among
the enemy, by his able direction of the Congreve rockets,
at the battle of Leipzig, has recently written a letter of
condolence to the Widow of that lamented Officer, and ac accompanied
companied accompanied it with an order of the Swedish Empire, with
which he had intended to invest Capt. Bogue, had hesur.
vived that day’s battle.
Letters from Paris state, that a Monsieur James, who
had been treasurer to Joseph Bonaparte, had absconded
with two and a half millions of livres.
The Hague has rendered2o,oooguilders to the Sovereign
Prince, towards carrying on the war.
The Paris Journals contain an Address, which has been
posted up in all parts of Paris, in which the Prefect in invites
vites invites the Parisians to furnish by voluntary contributions
the articles necessary for the temporary military hospitals
to be established in Paris; telling them that the conse consequence
quence consequence of their refusal to fulfil this humane duty, would
be, that the wounded soldiers would be quartered on them,
to be provided for at their expence. The articles required
are 6000 bedsteads, 8000 paliasscs, 7000 mattrasses, 6000
bolsters, 18,000 sheets, 8000 quilts, 24,000 shirts, 12/100
caps, linen for bandages, at the rate of a pound per beds
and lint at the rate of two pounds per bed; besides mo money
ney money for the purchase of medicines and kitchen utensils,
which cannot be furnished in kind.
It is stated iu te M inisterial Circles, that the first prposals
made by Canlainconrt to Lord Castlereagh was to remove
the seat of the conferences from Chatillon to Paris. This
was rejected, and the reason assigned was, that Paris was
in the line of military operation.

Tholen, Jan. 20.—Yesterday evening, ohout seven
o’clock, His Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, third
son of his Majesty the King of England, arrived in this
towir A part of the English garrison, together with the
whole of the Armed Burghers, were underarms, and posted
in the Great Market, through which it was necassary far
his Royal Highness to pass on his way to the Governm nt
House. Meanwhile a mounted guard of honor, composed
of the most distinguished of the inhabitants of t. is town
went out to meet His Royal Highness, a d accompanied
him h ther, when the whole town brilliantly illuminated.
His Royal Highness having alighted, granted, in the even?
ing, an audience to the Burgomaster and Council, whom
he-received in a most cordial manner.
This morning at ten o’clock, the Minister of Regligion
were admitted to an audience, on which occasion ?he Rev-
Heer van Rysscl, Pastor of the Dutch Reformed Can-re?
gation of this town, delivered the following speech : -
“ Most ixoyal and Illustrious Prince.— The Ministers
ot the Protestant Religion in this town have to peif irm
as well lor themselves as in the name of their Fellow M?
nisters in this country, the agreeable duty of salutin’
your Royal Highness on your errival within our walls?
1 es, we are fully sensible ot the honor which is conferred
upon us, by beholding in the midts of us a Prince of the
Royal House of England, which has at all times taken so
much interest in the prosperity and welfare of our country
and which has never ceased to watch over the honor and
glory ot the Illustrious Prince of Orange, of which it now
gives the most affecting proofs.
‘•VV e are convinced, Royal and Illustrious Prince tha£
the security of Holland depends, above all things,’on a
strict alliance with the powerful kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland; wherefore can never cease servenfly to im
plore the Almighty ; that the bonds of alliance may ba
drawn more and more close, and, in particular, th it this
may be effected by the Matrimonial Union of the lllustri
ous Hereditary Prince of Orange with the Royul Princes}
Charlotte of England!
“My God for ever be with the father of his people tha
venerable King of mighty Britain, and may his Heavenly
G race bless, in the most distinguished manner, the Gov rn
ment of the Prince Regent, that England, under his admi?
nistration, may continue to be the most powerful kimr
dom of Europe ! God bless all the Princes and Princess?.,
ot the Roy al blood! Above all, may the Almighty render
your Roayl and Illustrious Highness a happy instrument
m expelling the enemy of mankind, whereby you may be
come the object of the gratefull blessings of the Dutch
people. *• •
“ W e shall henceforth have thehonor, we and our com communities,
munities, communities, ol relying most humbly on your Roy a Bish
ness’s protection.” J
This speech was most graciously listened to by his Royal
Highness, and was answered in a manner the most to-ch
*“ g ’ a " d ’ sa “® thne , the most important to th' a 1
I,S Royal H * ghnvßS dlC,ared enthusiasm®
that England never could forget that one of the Princes of
Orange, M ilham 111. had ascended the Throne of Eng.
land, and that his reign was most fortunate to that coun country
try country , and that England now aimed at nothing more than the
honor and glory of the House of Orange, and the closest
alliance of the two nations, England and Holland.
His Royal Highness then passed through the principal
streets of the town, and ascended the walls, when he wan
saluted with one and twenty guns: after which his High Highness
ness Highness havmg inspected the fortifications, and returned to
the Government House, granted an audience to the Offi Officers
cers Officers ot the garrison and the armed Burghers.

Feb. 22.—We have received in the Paris Papers to th a 16th, official accounts of the military opeiaim.u ions from the 3d to the morning of the lot. inst, • reviewing them in the order in which they oec some similitude between them and the o t . Elbe that preceded and prepared the b <• of <„ Bonaparte’s first intention seems to Ua .e ; j movements against the allied army under 2 . zenberg. Accordingly on his arrival at Ti >\ cue 3d, he made his dispositions with a view to keep iLh i; in check; but the rapid advance of Marshal Blue, r Chalons and Vitry, obliged h.m to proceed with all . sible speed to Nogent, leaving the field open to the Austrians under the Prince of Schwartzenberg—Macdonald was on the 7th between Chalons and Eperna., and on thj 10th at Meaux, three marches only from Paris. Not a moment was to be lost. Ail Bonaparte’s forces was necessary in this quarter: he arrived himself at Nogent on the 7th, Blucher was on the 10th at Vertos, midway between Chalons and Montmirail, whilst General AlsusielF was at Champ Aubert, and the more advanced divisions, under Sachen and Yorck, at La Ferte sons Jouaire not more than 30 miles from Paris. Macdonald had taken the precaution to brake down the bridges as he retreated. Some persons seem to think Bhuher occupied too long a line, and that the extent of it necessarily weakening it, gave Bonaparle an opportunity of cutting through it, and separating one part from the other. We shall be slow to censure the operations of a man who has done more than any other General towards contributing to the present glorious sjtate of affairs. However, on the. lOtb, Bonaparte endeavoured to cut the Silesian army in two. SATURDAY, April 23. SECRETAR Ys OFFICE.

Action of t)i£ ICA.*—This first action was solely with that part of the Silesian army which was at Champ Aubert, under General Alsusvff, and which is stated to have been not more than B'Xk) strong. Bonaparte had evidently a much superior force at this point, and Champaubert was carried with a Joss, according to the enemy’s account, of 6000 men. Bonaparte now evidently brought up his •whole force to Montmirial; it consisted of Nansouty’s, Guyot’s, Marmobt’s, Ricart’s, Ney’s, Mortier’s, and Friant’s divisions : Adon of the llf/r.—Upon receiving information of the attack upon the division of the Silesian army that was at Champaubert, Gens. Sachen and Yorck retrograded ; the former from Feite sons Jouairc, the latter from Chateau Thierry. Gen. Sachen marched the whole night, arrived time enough to join Gen. Yorck. Marshal Blucher was at Vertus. From the enemy’s account of the battle, it appears not only to have been a most obstinate one, but that till towards the evening, the victory was on the side of the Allies. The village of Marchais was taken and retaken several times during the day. All the reserve that was at Sezanne was successively brought up to dispossess the Allies of the farm of Epine aux Bois, which was the key of the position, and the possession of which bv the enemy, could alone turn the scale in th ir favour. Blucher, aware of the importance of this position, hail placed 40 pieces of cannon on it, and astrong force of infantry. Mean while the enemy abandoned part of the vi’lage of Marchais; they were probably driven from it, though they state the movement to have been a voluntary one. Some troops were drawn from the centre of the Allies to render the success at tins point complete. In this they appear to have cucceeded. In the interim, Bonaparte poured wholemasses upon Epine.aux.Bois, and still without effect. Success was a long time balanced. But according to the French account, their cavalry turned the position upon the right, and attacked the infantry of the Allies in the rear. The battle continued till night, and, making theallowances for the exaggerations of the enemy, we dire say the loss on each side was nearly equal. Bonaparte obtained the advantage of taking the position of E pin®-aux-Boise. —The allies fell back upon Chateau Thierry, and though we arc informed that “Generals, officers, soldiers, infantry, cavalry, and artillery, all fled pell-mell on the preceding night,” we find them next morning covering th'»r retreat with eight battalions of fresh troops, retiring leisurely, d.finding such positions as were necessary, and although Mortier was said in the battle of the day before to have taken Fontenelle, directly in the march from Montmirail to Chateau Thierry : and though Nansouty is said, with the French cavalry on the morning of the 12th, to have marched between Chateau Thierry and the allies, yet still the latter reached Chateau Thierry, Prince William of Prussia, with a reserve, receiving them at the suburbs, and protecting their retreat. They burnt the bridges, carried off their artillery, and checked the enemy by unmasking a battery on the right bank of the Marne. They fell back on the road to Rheims. The 12th, and part of the 13th, were passed by Bonaparte in repairing the bride s of Chateau Thierry.—ln the afternoon of the 13th, Mortier passed the Marne in pursuit of the Allies towards Rhitms: In pursuit of the Allies! Why the Paris Papers stated that they were destroyed; men, material, artillery, every thing. However, whilst Macdonald was in pursuit of this no longer existing army, Blucher did not remain idle at Vertus. He was joined by General Langeron and General Kleist on the 13th, and immediately marched against Marmont, who was at Eroges, between Champaubert and Vertus. Marmont retreated and fell back upon Montmirail on the morning of the 14th. This movement recalled Bonaparte immediately from Cha. lean Thierry.—Wiiuingerode was beyond Rheims before the 12th. Action of the l\/h.— Blucher had taken up a position at the village of Vanchamp. Marmont attacked it and failed. It was several times vigorously attacked and as vigorously defended, taken and retaken several times. Grouchy made a movement into the rear, and the Allies retreated to Champaubert. Grouchy is said to have reached that place before them, and they were surrounded. But then comes an is—ls the light artillery could have come up they would all have been taken. However, 10,000 prisoner, 10 pieces of cannon, and 10 colours, are raid to har® been taken, “And thus,” adds Bonaparte, “the Silesian army, composed of the Russian corps of Sacken and Langeron, and the Prussian of Kleist and Yorck, 80,000 strong, has been in four days beaten, dispersed, annihilated, w ithout a general action, and without any loss proportioned to such great results.” —\Ve have been so accustomed to Bonaparte’s aunihilatiug armies upon paper, which we find afterwards to be healthy and active in the field, that we confess we are not much intimidated by the sentence we have just quoted.—Where Bonaparte was on the morning of the 15th it is not said, but we believe at Montmirail. London, Feb. 23. — The Paris papers to the 19th justify the belief we expressed yesterday, that the Austrian army, under Prince Swartzenberg, had not been inactive during the operations against the Silesian army. The Prince marched from Troyes, as we said he intended to do, on the 10th, and proceed towards Nogent and Bray. Bonaparte had left Victor and Gerard before Nogent; Oudinot at Provins, nearer Paris; and Pajol near Moatereau and Melon. As soon as the Austrians had broken up from Troyes, Victor retired fromNegont across the Seine, and left Gen. Bourmont at Nogent with about 1200 men. The French official account inform us, the Austrians appeared before Nogent on the 11th, and that on that and the next day they made several attacks upon it without success. But we suspect that these were mere feints, calculated to deceive the enemy, and draw their attention upon Nogent, whilst the main body of the army took another direction. Bray on the Seine, rather nearer Paris than Nogent, had not been fortified, and no corps seems to have been stationed there f>r its defence. The Austrians entered it, and crossed the Seine without ©position. The position of Nogent then became of little importance so the enemy, and Victor destroying the bridg s, I fell back upon Naugis. Oudinot abandoned Provins a! ! the same time, and retired to the little river Yeres, which > runs into the Seine. Pajol took the same direction, aftei blowing up the bridges of Montereau and Melun. This was the situation of affairs on the 15th. The French army about 30 miles—the Austrian army scarcely more than 40 miles from Paris. On the 16th, Bonapaite, recalled from Montmirail by the advance of the Austrians from Troyes, arrived upon the Yeres, and fixed his headquarter at Guignes, on the southern bank of the Yeres.—Here the official account closes, on the morning of the 17th.—But the Moniteur of the 18th adds, that letters from the army, dated from Nangis, at noon, on the 17th, announce that Bonaparte had attacked the enemy, and had, “at that moment in his power 6000 prisoners, amongst whom were several Generals and a great number of Officers, and 14 piece* of cannon. He was following up his success.” We have thus only the account of the commencement of the battle—a battle successfully began may not be suecessfully endid. The great Frederic’s campaigns furnish a memorable instance of this;—ho wrote once to the Queen at Berlin, saying, that the day was his own, and desiring Te Detim to be celebrated. In the evening, he sent a dispatch of a very different nature—“ Victory is against us, remove the atchieves from Berlin, and make the best terms you can for the city.” To these letters, written by no official persons, little attention perhaps is due.—ls letters could be written ;an official dispatch could also be written; and as the Moniteur of the 18th is print, cd like our Morning Papers, on the night of th# 17th. a dispatch sent off on the evening of the 17th might easily A'ach Paris time enough to appear in the Moniteur of the 18th. A signal Victory over the Austrians would be of that importance to Bonaparte that he would immediately transmit it to all parts. The guns of Bologne would have announced it, and telegraphic dispatches would have reached us from the French coast, We might easily have had this morning a telegraphic dispatch from the army down to the 20th inclusive. In yhat an anxious, critical state do these papers leave us! The armies of Austria, and Prussia, so near Paris that the sound of the cannon may almost be heard at the Thuilleriea! Whilt these events arc passing within 30 miles of Paris Bulow and Winzingede must be cuming up to reinforce Marshal Blucher.—The former was, on the 12th, pushing on to Mons. The latter, having his head-quarters at Namur, has sent his advanced-guard to Avesnes and Rheims, of which it had taken possession, By the 20th, they might be able to join Blucher. The Crown Prince was to follow Bulow and Winzitigerode.—Such are the military accounts in these Paris Papers. We contemplate them without any diminution of the confidence we have placed in the military efforts of the Allies.—Would tha|t we could say that th-ir policy afforded us equal satisfac. tion ! But hear no more of negociators or Plcnipoten. tiaries. Chatillon-sur-Seine is no longer mentioned. Wa shall scarcely avoid passing through it if ever we travel h rough France. Lord Castlereagh by the last accounts was at Troyes with the Emperor Alexander, and with that illustrious Monarch we hope he has crossed the Seine.. We shall be delighted to hear that he has shared in th® military glories of the Allies— And chang’d his pens for truncheons.—ink for blood It is to be remarked and we remark it with pleasure, that all those facilities of passage for countries through France to England, facilities w hich were blazoned forth so ostentaGouslyin the Moniteur, seems to have subsided at once; not a courier has arrived for some days; aid hence w® infer that thenegociations have broken off. By a letter from Lord Wellington’s Head-quarter® dated the 6th Feb. we are informed, that the weather had changed Considerably for the better, and it was supposed that the right and centre of the army would move up th® ; left bank of the A dour, cross that river above the enemy, and turn th ir left; our left standing fast to observe any movements from Bayonne, which has been reconnoitred within two miles of the place, and it was ascertained that the French h id taken every possible precaution to guard igainst an atta k by al! sorts of field works, independently of the fortress and town itself. Courier O ffice, Three o'clock. We have just received the following : “ Ibi' :>gne, Feb.2\ , / 'rep. —Our telegraph has been cut off by some light troops, partisans. The following comes by our extraordinary Express from Paris; Paris, Feb. 19. 6 p. w.—“On the 17th at Nangis th® the 1 mperor beat Prince Schwartzenbcrg; he pursued hi# successes. On the 18th in the morning, between Fontainbleau and Melon, he marched against the enemy, who were at Montereau. There was a warm oction. Th® enemy fought obstinately—he was defeated and pursued. We have 3000 prisoners, one General, and five pieces of cannon. “No official accounts of the battle of th® 17th had retched Paris late this night.” Foreign.Office, Feb. 14, 1814. A dispatch, of which the following is an extract, ha® been received this morning at this Office from Lord Burg, hersh, dated “Troyes, Feb. 8, 1814. “The important position and town of Troyes was yesterday taken possession of by the Allies; the enemy retired from it in the night preceding, and took his direction upon Nogent. The numbur of roads loading from the different point® of France, and uniting at Troyes, the resources of th® place itself, with a population of 30,000 inhabitants, renders its occupation of the greatest importance. The Prince Royal of Wirtemberg was the first who entered the town w ith his corps; on the day preceding he had turned the enemy’s position near Ruvigni, and had taken possession of the village of Lanbrisscl on his left. I have the satisfaction of reporting to your Lordship, that a detachment from the corps of Gen. D’Yorck took possession of Vitry on the sth. -Gen. D’Yorck, as I have already informed your Lord, ship, attacked and defeated the rear-guard of the corps of Marshal Macdonald’s army at Chaussce on the sth. On the Same day, Gen. D’Y’orck pursued the enemy to the gates of Chalons, and bombarded the town. Marshal Macdonald entered into a capitulation for the place, which he effected on the morning of the 6 th, retiring with army, composed of the corps under his immediate orderv, and of those of Generals Sebastian! aud Arighi, to th® left bank of the Marne. Chalon-sur-Saone has been captured by the Austrians. General Le Grand was assembling a French force at that place; the Prince of Hesse Hompourg directed it to b® attacked ; some guns were captured in the town. General Le Grand retired upon the road to Lyons, where Mar. shal Augereau has collected a force of about 4000 men.
