months He ! ;ft in the battle of the 13th j Decrmber, from 13 to 15.000 men, audi n ce then h.ts made no move whatever.-

His army 1 lys in the vicinity of the Adour and his movements hive been fo flow, that Bayonne, and the citadel opoofite to it on this fide the Adour, have been rendered impregnable. He fuffers much for want jf proviGons, and his. army is hrrafiVd continually by the B.ue general Harefpy, who !rs railed an army of volunteers among the Rafque people, who are the belt foidiers in France, of 20.000 men. Soult is in fo little fear of Wellington, that he Ins fcr.t off 4000 hcrfe, and 12.000 foot from his army to the north. His lord (hip's career is finifhed, and we are njw in no fears of a vifit from him here. Indeed, it -.v r.r vrr to be fe?i rd, from the great ex -end of the dreary heath and lands which feparates this city from Bayonne. The emperor left Pins on the 25th, to put himfelf at the heid cf the army in Champagne, of 300.000 men. II is artillery amounts to 1000 mouths of fire, with which he intends driving the allies out of Fl nce ; and that a peace is now more pro--ble to be mide at Vienna than at Paris, is true.

Let u rather fuppofe that the empercr had ufed & rry.se de guerre, to get the allies into France, vhen they inclined to come, that he might co their work tor them to the beft advantage ; for the be it military men think none of thole that hate had the audacity to rrofs the Rhine, will ever return trom whence they came. Pub-, lie fpiut ic now what it ought to be, and yon may expe to find by the next ar:ivals that things have changed.
