After the battle of Brienne, February 1
and the retreat of Napoleon to Troyes, the
allies made a beld but desultory effort to
obtain possession of Paris, by advancing at
a rapid stepon several routesat the sam
time. k
The right under Blucher, &e. took th
road by Sazane, Montmirilk Meaux‘&
and its front was near the Jatter---about
miles N. E.of Paris. A light corps und
Wimzingerode, covered Biucher’s rig
and took Soissons by assault.

reached Paris until 18 day after——unless
the allies were between tlt city and Pa-
vis! But the French uncheial accounts
state, that the allies had retreated from
Fontainbleau and Nemouy, and that the
whole allied army were reiring on Troy-
LI Le.

Tioyes, the 27th of Feb. vhere his H. Q.

(udinot, with a strong corps had advanced
& Due-sur-Aube, and Maclonald had his
advanced guard at Chatillion, the late scat
of the Congress. He makes no mention €l-
ther of the main allied army or the Con-
gress.
But this letter states that the wrecks of
Blucher, Sacken D’Yorck and Kleist’s
¢orps were mane vring to entrap Marmont,
who was at la Forte Goucher, which is not
more than 45 miles from Paris ! and tho’
the emperor on the 27th states that mar-
als Ney, Victor and Arrichi were at Ar-
¢i, Planci, & Nogent, treading on Blucher’s
eels, yet a Paris note of March 2d (the
atest) says, Marmont has taken an advantés
cous position at Lacy, which is ten miles
igher Paris than la Ferte Goucher! We
confess we know not how to solve this rid-
dle.
We have not ‘received Bonaparte’s let-
ler of the 24th of Feb ; but a Paris article
gives an extract from it which says, that of-
ficers from the French, Russian, Austrian,
and Prussian armies had met at Lusignys
near Troyes to treat for an armistice.
The inactivity of Napoleon at Troyes may
probably thus be accounted for. But no
mention of the progress of his negociation
is made in his last letter,
The declaration of war by Murat king
of Naples, against France, is confirmed.
The viceroy had gained some repoited suc-
cesses in Itally ; but he had been compell-
ed to retreat from Veiona, where our ac-
counts left him. The news from the south-
west of France is important, Lord Welling-
ton defeated Soult on the 28th Feb. at Or-
tes, and was advancing on Bordeaux. The
Perfect in that city proclaimed, on the 4th
March, that he had invadea the depart-
ment of Les Laudes, and was approaching
Ginonde. The utmost consternation and
alarm prevailed at Bordeaux. This 1s a
bird--ye view of the late French accounts—
That they allies had been obliged to retreat
