Military Report from Col. Lows, dated Head-quarters,
Army of Silestu, Chulons, Feb. L5, 1st.
Sir—Ficld-Marshal Blucher has had to sustain another
and most obstMate contest against a superior force of the
enemy, under the command of Bonaparte in person. Af.
ter having driven Niarshal Marmont from the position at
Lroges, on the 13th, be there learnt that Bonaparte had
marched with his guards on the preceding day to Chatean
Thierry, Gen. D’?Yorck and Gen. Barca Sacken having
previously quitted that town, and retired behind the Mar.
ne.— Yesterday norning, Marshal Marmont was announc.
ed to bein retreat from tic village of Promentieres. Field.
Marshal Blucher, who had bivouacked the night preceding
at Champaubeit, resolved on pursuing him.—He had un.
der his orders only the corps of Gen. Kleist and Gen.
Kapsiewitz’s division of Gen. Count T.angeron’s corps.
The eneny retired until he came near the tillage of Janvil-
liers, where a considerable body of cavalry was observed
to be collected. luthe ardour of pu rsnit, six guns, which
had been carricd furward, were suddenly rushed upon and
seized by them. ‘The Prussian cavalry, under Gen. Zieten
and Col. Blucher, son of the Ficld-Marshal, immediately
charged and retook them. Several prisoners fell into his
hands, and from them it was learnt that Bonaparte was
on the ground, having Just arrived with the whole of his
guards, anda large body of cavalry. They had made a
forced march during the night from Chateau Lhicrry.—The
infantry of Field-Marshal Blucher was at this time advanc.

cavalry, Which was observed tu. be inerc sing, suddenly
-came forward ina large mass, broke throu gh the cavalry
‘of the advanced guard, dividing {tself, and attacked with
the greatest fury the columus ofiafantry ou the plain. ‘The
movement was observed. ‘The columns formed into
squares, which remained firm on their ground, gud com.
menced a heavy firing from their frout flanks, and rear.
[In a large field on the right of the Village, SIX squares Were
attacked at the same time; all succeeded in repelling the:
enemy, the cavalry of the advanced guardin the mean lime
retiring in the intervals, forming in the rear, and advanc-

such an equal contest must be waged.—Vhe infantry were

If the British Orders in Council were a principal cause

that when these Orders were revoked, and an armistice
was proposed with a view of opening the way to an ac.

produce ho effect on the measures of our Administration,
And though the British Government had often) declared
that those Orders should be revoked when the I'rench De-
crees were repealed, though they were revoked as svon
after the repeal was notilicd as the then deranged state of
the British Mini try would permit: aud though, in the
act of revocation, the repeal of the French Decrees was
issigned as the cause of it, yet an attempt has been made
to convince the people of this country that the British

yrders were not revoked in consequence of the repeal of
the French Decrees, but from the pI ire of our restrice-
tive system. This att mpt s to exhibit a want of
fairness, and a disposition unfriendly to peace with Great
Britain.
Nor can werezdily beliere that the war was declared or
iscarricd on forthe protection of our native men. the

Mr. Printer,
A great number of Berbician Patriots have been
racking thetr brains,to devise means for the prevention
of Shipment at Demerary, of Produce made. in this
colony, for Furope.—A_ disinterested man proposes
to the wisdom of our colonial Legislature thus :
“Leta Duty of 12! per cent, be laid) on all Produce
made in this colony.—Let the Planters declare at stae
ted periods, the quantity and quality of produce they
make on their respeciive plantations. —And in order
to induce the Shipment of the produce here, let a
drawback of 10 per cent be allowed on production of
proper proof that it is actually on board a vessel. in
(his River, bound for Europe.
“An Osservern.”’

It is with great sorrow we have to communicate to

commiseration, for the sudden and dreadtul death,
of five of the most worthy members of this commu-

Duncan, Crs. M'Inrosu, and 2... Enwanns ;
these Gentlemen, contrary to the advice of their
Friends, entered the sea, in the scheoncr Fragle, on
the storming night ofthe 20th inst. and in ranning
down the coast to Demerary, the schooner upset, 3
or 4 negroes were the only ones who escaped a wa-
(ry crave.
We cannot sulictently impress on the minds of
{hose who are obliged to venture in colonial « ratty to
be careful that sulticient ballast is on board, and pro-
perly secured froin shifting, for, we are Invorined
that if precaution in that respect had been used in
this instance, we should not have to lament the loss
of five intelligent men, and their relatives and coy.
panious Uke want of their assistance and socicty.

"he accession of his Majcsty to those beers, was therefore
a great step towards the peace of the world.
Such, Gentlemeu, is the substance of the considerations
which, in conformity to to the Coustitution, are submitted
to you. Ttnow belong fo the Legislative Body to declare
the sentiments which this is calculated to eaite; because,
in conformity to the 30th Article of the Senatus Consultan,
of the 28 Frimaire, year 12, **the Legislative Body shall,
as offen as the Gov ernment ‘communicate to if any matter
distinct from deliberation _ the laws, return a reply to
the same in full assembly.’
While the Legislative ody awaits the observation of
its own committee appointed to prepare a reply worthy
of the nation and the Emperor, we may also perhaps be
permitted to express our sentiments, ‘The first is that of
sratitude for a communication by which the Legislative
Body is now invitid to take a share in political affairs ;
Co this sentiment Io add, that of hope, wheu we hear,
amidst all the calnities of war, sovercings and nations
prononneips the word peace inthe most impressive accents.
And, indeed, Gentlemen, the repeated important de.
clarations of the Powers atwar, completely coincide with
the general wishes of Lurope, and with those expressed
around us, and ia our departments, of which the Legis.
lative Body is the natural organ,
According to the observations contained in the Decla-
ration, the wishes of humanity are directed towards an
honorable and Jasting peace. ‘The peace should be honor-
able, because both with nations and individuals, honor
consists im maintatuing their own legitimate pretensions,
aud in respecting the rights of others; the peace ehould
be durable, because the best guarantee of peace consists
iu the determination of the contracing Powers to be true
(o (hemselves. Who, then, shall rob us of its blessings ?
The Aliied Powers have given this important testimony of
the Emperor, that he has accepted the essential bases for
the restoration of the balance and tranquillity of Murone,
Phe first security of a peace-loving disposition lics, not
on'y in ad versily , which, accor hung to the proverb, is the
best teacher of Kings but alse in the so severely felt pri.

ty request his Majesty re aud 40 theee secuiales some still

lent; if they wished to bring us under the yokes if it wer

You committee considers it at one of their imperious
