THE BERBICE GAZETTE. ‘¦JSS' ©-55-®' NEW AMSTERDAM, S'.imenxr, April 2, 1814, As tee have no arrivals this zceek, we can only furnish bwßeaders zeith a few abstracts from those papers we are in possession of, The ship Flora, from Bermuda, arrived in Demcrary oh the 25th March, after a passage of 12 days; and the * sch. Catherine on the 26tb, from the Oronoque, whence she sai ed the 20th.—Whereof wc learn the following: The Snap Dragon, American privateer, left the Oronoque about the 20th, having repaired the damage she sustained in the action with the Liverpool. The Trepsichofe French frigate arrived at Bermuda on thedtb, prize to Jlis Majesty’s ship Mejestic. The M«jestic fell in with the Trepsichore, in company with the Atalante, another French frigate, on the 2d February, and captured the former, after a chase of a few hours ; •he making little or no resistance. She is a very fine frigate of 44 guns and 320 men ; was 23 days out from POrient The Terpsichore had 2 men killid and 2 wounded, since dead ; and had his salts and rigging much injured by the Majestic's fire during the chase. Much credit is due to Capt. Hayes for the promptitude with which lie bore up to engage three ships} apparently frigates, and a brig : and we are fully convinced that had not the crippled state of the Terpsichore demanded his undivided attention, which enabled the Atalante to effect her escape, he would have given an equally good account of her. The other ship in company was supposed to be an Indiaman. These frigates captured a Spanish vessel from Lima, the day previous, with specie and a valuable cargo. Vice-Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane, K. B. arrived at Bermuda on the 4th, in the Asia, 74, and the Superb. 74, in companany. The Barossa frigate, we are happy to learn, ,has arrived at Portsmouth, from Jamaica, with half a million sterling on board. z LONDON. An Officer, who arrived at Plymouth, states, thatSoult and the Matquis of Wellington have lately had an interview on a spot of ground between the two armies. The Officers call it the “neutral ground.” It was reported, that Bonaparte having ordered Suchet to evacuate Catatonic with all his force, Suchet, in obedience to his orders, proceeded towards Lyons, which he hoped to reach before the Allies; but that the latter, reseiving intelligence of his intention, quickned their march to that city, and entered it, after some slight opposition. It is stated, that upon the advance of the Allies into France, the removal of British prisoners from Biche and other fortresses, was considered by the French Government as indispensible; and a proposal Was made to exchange them, man against man. The Embargo Act, of which some doubts, were enter-, taitied, has passed in America—this does not shew a very pacific disposition on the part of Mr. Madison—the Embargo commenced on the if th of Dec. last, and is to continue for 12 months. By letters from the Hague to the 24th we learn, that the Prince of Orange, in his new character of Sovereign of the Netherlands, has appointed M. Changuioh, late Commissary General in Holland, Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States of America. This appointment, we are informed, has excited much interest among the Dutch, who eagerly anticipate the benefits to be derived from a renewal of their commercial intercourse with North America. It was reported yesterday that 20,000 Cossacks had entered Paris. The report is premature. Letters from the South of Europe state, that Murat has exchanged his Kingdom for a Dukedom in Carinthia, with 100,000/. The following Gentlemen have been appointed, by the Dutch Government, to act as their Vice-Consuls, at our Out-ports, viz.— John Hawker, Esq. at Plymouth. Joseph Barfield, Esq. at Falmouth. John Minet Fector, Esq. at Dover. Edward Spencer Curling, Esq. at Ramsgate and Deal. F. W. Cobb, Esq. at Margate. D. Willinck, Esq. at Portsmouth and Southampton. John Le Marchant, Esq. at Guernsey. Edward Jameson, Esq. at Cork. George Aitcheson, Esq. at Leith. Leyden, Jan. 29.—Letters from Vesoul, of the 14th, and from Basle of the 17th, entirely confirm the reports of the happy progress of the Allied arms in the interior of France. The Emperor Alexander has already quitted Basle to repair to the head-quarters of Prince von Schwartzenberg, at Vesoul. The reserve, under the command of Gen. Barclay de Tolly, about 40,000 men strong, was likewise on its way thither, audit was expected, that immediately after its arrival in the vicinity of the head-quarters, the forces which the enemy had collected in the neighbourhood of Langrcs, would be attacked and driven away. 1 he garrison of Besancon, which was estimated at 8000, has been defeated by a part of the corps under the Prince of Hesse, the other part taking its route through Auxonne to Dijon. Gen. Bubna was at Bourg-en.Bresse, and his advanced posts were penetrating the vicinities of Lyons. —After garrisoning the posts at Martigny on the Simplon, the St. Bernard, &c. not only the inhabitants of the Valais had taken up arms to make a strong opposition to the enemy, in case he should wish to return that way, but even a deputation from the inhabitants of Savoy had ap. peared at the head-quarters of the Pripce of Sthwartzenberg, and had been sent by that General to Prince Metternich, to consult in what manner that country should provisionally be governed, after having shaken off the French yoke, and rendered useful in serving the general cause of Europe. I rankfort, Jan. 15.—Lord Castlereagh arrived this morning in this town. Jan. 17.—A Courier, who yesterday evening passed through this town, brought intelligence of a victory gain, ed near St. Avoid, by Field Marshal Blucher, over Mar. shal Marmont, who left, on this occasion, between 3 and 4000 prisoners and 30 pieces of cannon. We have also to-day received an account, that in consequence of this advantage, Gen. Blucher’s army, after having successively entered Metz and Nancy, had occupied Luneville. Bremen, Jan. 25.—We are assured, that after having been informed of the conclusion of peace between Denmark and the allied Powers, the Prince of Eckmuhl requested to be permitted to capitulate ; and that his request was refused, except on condition of surrendering himself and army prisoners of war. PRINCESS CHARLOTTE. The Lord Chancellor’s first attendance on the Prince Regent, since his Lordship’s severe indisposition, at Carleton-house, we understand, was upon the measu® of His Royal Highness’s intended message to Parliament, respecting the proposed matrimonial union between the Princess Charlotte of Wales and the Hereditary Prince of Orange. The nuptials are expected to be solemnized im. mediately after the Prince Regent’s proposal has received that Legislative sanction which the Constitution requires. The illustrious Pair hand several interviews before the Prince went to join his father’s standard in it is understood, progressively led to that uhion & inent from which true conjugal felicity may naturally expected to flow. The Prince is a handsome military racter, with an animated countenance, and has morethi once displayed in the field the heroism which ’ tinguished his illustrious House. Such an union holdso B1 a prospect highly flattering to the Protestant of this country. Copy of a Letter from General M i Clare, of the York State Troops, to the Secretary of Bar.

OBSERVATIONS ON’rtlE TREATY BELWEENKINC FERDINA.II> OF SPAIN AND THE CORSICAN. Madrid, Jan. 20.—Very curious things arc gradually coming to light, There is now no doubt, that King Ferdinand and the execrable Corsican have made a treaty. It consists of 15 articles: among which are the acknowledgment of the King of Spain, in the person of Ferdinand, by Bonaparte: the evacuation of the Spanish territory by the French troops within a definitive period, to be fixed by another Convention : the acknowledgment of th® independence and integrity of the Spanish dominions fcy Bonaparte f does he think he here confers a favour?); King Ferdinand will make the English depart from Spain (here the Corsican discovers the cloven foot; Heal projects to excite distrust among Allies occupy hit thoughts); the mutual restitution of prisoners: F erdinand binds himself to demand of England to rcslow to this infernal Corsican the prisoners take in Spain; aft obligation to observe the treaty of Utrecht, as far as respects maritim right? ; the renewal of the old treaties of alliance between Spain and France: the restitution of their property, the revenues, dignities, employments, P en " sions, &c. to all the Spaniards who declared against their country by attaching themselves to the blockhead Joseph PAGE 3 and the atrocious Bonaparte, and who are now suffering in France part us their punishment for the crime of trea. son against their country; so that the circumstance of their having been spurious and traitorous Spaniards, and most pernicious to their brethren? is not to cause them the least harm.—Thus far, as to the contents of this famous treaty, into which we shall not search further at present; but content our selves with saying Spaniards, be upon your guard ! by fraud Bonaparte overcome us in 1808 ; by/orcc of arms he could not subdue us in six years of contest; by fraud Bonoparte seeks to overcome us again. With this view he means to avail himself of intrigue, se. duction, plots, passions, and all other infamous means suggested by his infernal policy. Humbled so far as now to despair of conquering Spain, and to acknowledge the unfortunate Ferdinand for King, he is obliged to look about him for other objects. We already see him endeavouring to embroil us with our Allies, the English; and we shall soon see him (if we apply no remedy) introduce discord and disunion among ourselves. We shall sec him «end flattering proposals and offers : as he has already sent the two Spanish emissaries, the Duke of S. Carlosand Palofox, we shal perhaps see hinx sent the Infant Don Antonio, or even Ferdinand himself —perhaps also Charles IV. and Maria Louisa ! The workings of fraud and intrigue are about to recomcnce: it would not beat all extraordinary were he to send us King Fcrdined, the better to subdue us at his leisure, surrounding him with persons under French influence, who may give him lessons of despotism, and lessons of arbitrary government. More vigilance is necessary now than ever; more perspicacity to free ns from the smartes which the insidious tyrant is laying for us; more firmness in our resolutions; and more policy to counteract that of the Corsican. GRAND ARMY OF THE ALLIES. General Orders. Head-Quarters, Montbelliard, Jan 8. At this moment, when the army is advancing upon the French territory, I think it my duty to remind the Commanders of Corps of tho orders which preceded that movement, and to enjoin them to redouble their zeal for the maintenance of order and discipline. They will exact the same attention, under a responsibility the most extensive, from all Commanders of regiments, battalions, &c. The troops will make the scourge of warbear as lightly aspossible upon the inhabitants ; arid on no account must they exact more than the fixed marching allowvuce. The conduct and exact discipline of the soldier must fulfil the solemn engagement entered into by the Allied Monrchs, in their Declaration to the French people: and convince them that we do not make war upon them, and that we are now in the midst of them only to conquer peace, and to enable them to participate in i s blessings. The army, in uniting to its well-proved valour the most severe disci, pline, will fix the admiration of its age, and that of generations to come.— The Commandants of corps will repeat to their troops the order that the moat severe punishmet will be inflicted on every offender, as due to the honor of the army which is entrused to my command. They will also every whre announce, that every inhabitant, out of uniform, taken with arms in his hand, being only to be considered in such case as a malefactor or assussin, shall be judically condemned as such and punished with death. —The town, city, or village, the inhabitants of which shall oppose any resistance, and commit any acts of hostility, shall be razed, and reduced to ashes. Proclamation. Frenchmen !— Suffer not yourselves to be deceived by calumnious reports, disseminated by malvolcnee. Behold in the armies of Allied Sovereigns only the armies of hu' inanity, who have no other enemies but the enemies of peace. Your relatives, your friends, your brothers, your children, prisoners in a foreign land, unite their wishes with ours for peace; the first benefit of which to them will be, their speedy return to .thobossom of their families. THIRTY-FOURTH BULLETIN OF THE CROWN PRINCE. 4‘ * * ? ¦ ¦ ¦¦ Head-quarters, at Kiel, January 17, 1814. The peace of Denmark with Sweden and England was signed on the 4th of January. On Sunday the 16th, there a grand parade? a solemn 2V JJeum was chaunted by way of thanksgiving, and numerous salutes of artillery were fired. The treaty has been sent to his Majesty the King of Denmark, and the is expected by Wednesday next. The whole army is putting itself in march for the Rhine. There is no longer any rivalship among the nations of the North ; they have acknowledge! that they have the same interests. United for the noblest object, they will combat together for the liberty of the continent, the independence of sovereigns, and of nations. The nations of the North do not look upon the French’ as enemies; they recognise no other enemy but him who has done every thing to prevent their union : him who, it cannot be too often repeated, has wished to enslave all nations, and to ravish from all their country. VOLTAIRE’S PROPHECY. Voltaire, who, with his coadjutors d’Alembert, Diderot, and others-, did all they could to bring about a revolution in £• rance, is well known to have prophesied that event; and his prophesy, published about24 years before, is dated April ?, 1764. It runs thus: hattver 1 behold, is sowing the seeds of a revolution which will infallibly arrive, but which I shall not have the pleasun to witness. The French arrive at every thing by slow degrees : but at length they do arrive. Light is so much spread abroad among them by gradual approaches, that on the frst occasion they will break out, and then there will be i fine tumult. Young people are fortunate, for they will $e charming things /” N ow, Sir, a&I do not wish to deprive Volfaire, who was long the idol, net only of the French, but of all Frenchified Englishmen, of the honours of a Prophet, instead of remarking that tumult and his charming things consisted on!y,o massacres, followed by tyranny and slavery, I beg leareto propose that this note of hand of his, which he cerainly could not pay when due, be renewed, and the due altered from 1788-9 tp 1814; and then we may say,with him, that “Young people are fortunate, tor they vill see charming things." TIENCH PAPERS. Pans, Jan. 3k— The French army,, commanded by his Majesty the Eiperor, attacked the enemy at St. Dezier on the 27th, «. 5 o’clock in the morning ; he has been overthrown, and -chave taken some prisoners from him; the attack of our mops was so brisk, that the enemy had no time to blow u the bridge. A great part of he enemy’s artillery has got entangled in a forest, havingaken a bad route from St. Dezier to Montierender. Nncy is thus deliverd. The Emperor continue his moventnts upon the rear of the enemy with a fine and good army. The advanced gurd of the French army was, on the evening of the 27th at Vassy.

The national guards organized, it is composed of landholders and citizens, itercsting iu maintaining public order. Many old troops cqing from the South of France arrived in Paris, in a suyrb state. Versailles is crowedwith troops, among which are remarked many cavalry. z < The Marshal Duke f Treviso daily receives reinforcements—during the lasfour days at least 10,000 excellent troops, and much artilry, have reached Nogent, and we are informed that the rids from Sens to Troyes are covered with troops. We have had a very Hlliant affair at the bridge of Fon. taine, between Bar-surtubc and Chaumont—the enemy lost 5000 men in it—thqounded French are at Nogent. We yesterday annound the entry of the national guards from Tourneis and Chahs, in Magon. Paris Jan. 31.—0 n e27th, the Cossacks made an attack on and were beaten by our troops, who killed several: theyiastily retired, following the retreat of their army. Fir hundred Cossacks appeared before Sens, without infatry. General Alix, who had a few troops, barricaded tfgates and streets, and, by a brisk fire of musketry, sot off the Cossacks, not one of whom could get into the wn. The Sub-Prefect had left the place. The Cossackaad some killed, and sent a flag of truce, which General lix would not receive. The Mayor of Arcis was base tough to write tothe Mayor of Sens to receive the Coacks well, as they only desired peace. Unhappily for hir his letter fell into the hands of General Alix. Paris, Feb.

Her Majesty the Empress replied— ' J “Gentlemen, Officers of the National Guard of Paris I participated the sentiments which the Emperor experienced when speaking to you; like him I have an witire * confidence in your courage, your devotion, and yoar fi delity. 7 “I shall give orders for your address being transmitted without delay to the Emperor.” The following instance of female courage is given in the last brunch Papers .-—“The courage of the troops assembled at the Camp of Notre Dame.de I’Enpine. about a league from Lyons, has been greatly animated by the heroic example of two intrepid Ladies. Near the Camp lives a farmer, Named Dubonquet, formerly a Quartermaster in the Emperor’s hussars* He has five children one boy, an Officer in a regiment, and four girls * two of these girls, the eldest 22 years of age, the other 19 delicate and well educated, have followd, almost on every ’ ocacasion, the detachments engaged in skirmishes vvifh the enemy ; they are very brave, march with the men, and encourage them to defend their eountry.
