A letter, of which the following is an extract, has ttlli day been received from Major Gen. TnylOr, dated the Hague, Dec. il, 181 Si- lt is with the greatest satisfaction that I have the honour to acquaint your Lordship, that 1 he Allies ale in possession of the two important fortresses of Breda and Williamstadt, which have been abandoned hy Ihe enemy. From a person who has seen Gen. BenkendortV this morning, 1 understand that upon the approach of 300 Cossacks, who had spread Ibe report that they were the advanced guard of lo, 0o0 Russians, the garrison of Breda, consisting of 1800 men, had marched out, lint the Cossacks bavins penetrated into the town before the evacuation was completed, 600 of the garrison had fallen into their bauds. Gen. Benkendbrff proposed going to fereda himself to - morrow; and will probably carry with hitij a great propor- tion of the remainder Of his corpS. i hate not learnt ill what direction the garrison retired. The evacuation of Williauistadt tobk place last night, in consequence of orders brought by a French General, win) had arrived from Antwerp. The garrison, whose numbers arc variously stated, at from 900 10 itjoo, retired in tlie direction of Iletgen- op-?> ooiti. Thev lefl in the place 100,000 pounds of powder, 153 guiis mounted, and oil serviceable carriages, but spiked, and the supply of provi- sions are small. They had taken measures to d'esttoy Ihe flotilla, but had imperfectly executed the intention ; and it w as hoped that the corvette, besides other vessels, might be saved. They Carried away with them 4 field pieces, and are said to have withdrawn the Irish battalion, as soon its they learnt that British troops bad landed in Holland.

Thc Inst German Papers satisfactorily explain the causes of the apparent inaction and indecision of the allied armies on ihe Ithine. After a series of glorious b-'. tt'es, and most, harasisng marches, a short repose became iiidispens hie. In consequence, likewise, of the persevering activity with which the enemy was pursued, many of the troops were obliged to remain behind, exhausted by fatigue. It was necessary to give them time to join i and, indeed, refit the whole army, which, after such a course of laborious services, must have wanted many necessaries befoie ulterior operations could be undertaken. The Allies now approach the scene where tbe principal fortresses of the enemy are situated. They could of course, from the rapidity of their movements, convey no battering trains w ith them, which are indisprtisibly necessary on the theatre where they ate proceeding to act. These must be brought up before tbe passage of the Rhine be effected ; and from the state of the roads at this season of the year, the transporting of heavy ordnance is a work of much time and labour. It has before observed, that such Members of the League who are nearest to the territory ' of the enemy, would make exertions proportioned to their contiguity, and corresponding with their appre- hensions of a' hostile visit, should their adversary recover from the effects of his recent defeats; and no • where are preparations for pushing oil the war vigorously, more visible than in Bavaria, Wurtemberg, Baden, Hesse Darmstadt, and other States contiguous lo the French boundaries.— In the mean time, the enemy, notwithstanding the vaunting* in the Paris - Papers, displays the greatest anxiety respecting the future operations of the Allies. He has blown up, in many places, the bridges he had on the Rhine; and has given many other instances ofa timorous and defensive policy. Hoiveve , parties of light troops have crossed the river, and were received with the strongest demon- strations of joy by the inhabitants of the left bank. Thc French Authorities have evinced their jealousy aud apprehensions of the former by making domiciliary visits, and taking away the arms they find. The Confederates consider ' the pretended neutrality of Switzerland as a finesse of the enemy, in order to prevent the Swiss from imitating the example of other nations. This neutrality is not to be respected; and, after an effort to detach the Swiss from the baneful connection, the allied armies, should the experiment, contrary to expectation, not succeed, are determined to enter their territory, arid compel them to renounce their political intercourse with France. But surely no compulsion will be required to light up again the Jlatiie of liberty in the country of Tell, antl revive there mi abhorrence of tyranny — It appears, that Bonaparte had made some propositions for an Armistice; but they were most properly rejected. IMPORTANT STATE PAPER. DECLARATION 01? TUE AL. I. IEL) POWERS. The French Government has ordered a new levy of 300, out) conscripts. The motives ofthe Senatus Cotisulluin to lliat effect contain an appeal to the allied Powers They, therefore, find themselves called upon to promulgate anew, in tin* face of the world, the. views which guide tlienr in the war; the principles which form the basis of their conduct, their wishes, and their determinations. The allied Powers do nol make war upou France, bul against lhat preponeieran e, haughtily announced,— against that preponderance which, to Ihe misfortuueof Europe, and of Fiance, the Emperor Napoleon has too long exercised beyond the limits of liis empire. Victory has conducted the Allied Armies lo the banks of the Rhine The first use which their Imperial and Royal Majesties have made of victory, has been to offer peace lo bis Majesty the Emperor of ihe French An attitude Strengthened bv Ihe accession of all tbe Sovereigns aud Princes of Germany, lias had no influence on the conditions ot lhat peace. These conditions arc founded on ihe inde- pendence of tbe French empire, ai well as on Iheindepend euce of tlie other Slates of Euiope. The views of the Powers are just in their object, generous and liberal in their application, giving seceurity lo all, honourable to cach. „ B it the allied Sovereigns desire that France may be great, powerful, and happy ; bccausetlie French puwer, in astate of greatness and strength, is one of the foundations of tbe nodal edifice of Europe. They wish thai France maybe happy— that French commerce may revile— that the arts, those blessings of peace, may again flourisl— because a great people can only be tranquil in proportion as it is nappy. The Powers confirm to tbe French Empire an extent of territory which France, under her Kings, never knew ; because a valiant iiiiiou does not fall from its rank bv having, in ils Hun, experienced reverses in an obstinate ainl sanguinary contest, in which it has fought witb il3 accustomed bravery. Bul the allied l'oweis also wish to be free, tranquil, and happy, thi niselres. They desiic a stale of peace which, by a wise partition ol'strcngtb, hya just equilibrium, may henceforward preserve their people from thc numberless calamities which have overwhelmed Europe for Ihe lasi 20 yeais. Tbe allied Powers will not lay clown Iheir arms, until they have attained this great and beneficial result— this noble object of their efforts. They will not lay down their arms, until the political stale of Europe he re- established anew— until immoveable principles hiive resumed their rights over vain pretensions— unlit I be sanctity of treaties shall have at last secured a real peace to Europe. Franltfoft, Dec. 1, 1813. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17. Advices were received yesterday hv Government, an- nouncing ihi important fact lhat lire Crown Prince, having passed the Elbe, and aiiva. ced to I be Sieignitz, had dis- lodged Marshal Davoust from tbat position, and pursued the enemy to l. uhcck An extrai l from a Bulletin uf that distinguished Leader dated Iluitzeubii- rgh, Oct. so, which will be found in our last page, is written in the clear, manly, and vigorous style, that characterized the former narratives of the same personage, ll breathes the most libeial views tespei tiag the objects of the war. It is replete with good sense, humanity, and sound political principles, anil cannot fail to produce a deep impression upon men of all countries who may peruse it. Paris Papers to the Will inst. were received last night. Their contents form a miking contrast with tbe State Paper noticed above. They announce only preparations of war upon I lie largest scale, movements of troops in every direction, and breathe Ihe tone of stern defiance, as if iu • opposition to the conciliatory and pacific spirit manifested by the Allies. They still observe the strictest silence respecting the real state of Holland; the only allusion that is made, is au article from Strasburg oflhe 5th, which says, that SM era! French columns had entered tbat country. From the same authority we learn, that every thing at tbat date was quiet on Ihe Rhine— Both articles deserve tbe same credit ; aud they are know n to be equally false. Some German papers have beun received, which arc so far interesting, as I hey shew tltecxfranrdinary efforts mak- ing by tbe allies to prosecute hostilities wilh vigour. A new Russian army of rcsiave has entered Germany, aud was inarching Inwards the Upper Rhine. The first column, consisting of i, oen men, reached Nuremberg on the 3d. Another column of thc same force was lo arrive ou the 5th, aud the march of the troops was lo continue through that town to the mill. From tbe lineof march, which was upon Rati- bon, llns army could either act iu Switzerland,. or co- operate with ihe Austrian army in Italy. If tbe French aie raising a vast force, we have tbe satisfaction to perceive tbat tbe allies are equally active in their new levies, w hilst the fall of the fortresses wilt give them a great accession of troops. The Dutch papers contain, under the date of Berlin, tlie eery important information lhat the Tyrol is again free— tliiit Bavaria has voluntarily relinquished the share of lhat country which she formerly received, and that 2o, o( JO brave moun1. iinee. rs are already in arms. The Brenner Pass is stated to be ill their possession, and Brixeu lias been en- tered. reported that the Emperor of Russia and King of ssia had intimated their intention of visilingtlie British capital hiit& rc Uw return of the Emperor to St. Petersburg. A letter has been received in town from Bilboa, stating, that Lord Wellington has ordered Mina under arrest. V. e I most sincerely lament the necessity Which f- ould render such a severe measure urgent, whilst we are conscious ( hat uh essity atone woulu induce liis lordship to adopt so harsh a measure. . .

SATURDAY, DECEMBER IS. FROM TilF. LONDON GAZETTE. The Gazette contains a letter from Captain G. Stufirt, of the Horatio, giving the following account of the surrender of the Island of Schowcn : liis Majesty's ship HorafiooffZuderie^ ee, I stand of'' Schowep, Dec 8, 1813. SIR— Yesterday morning some pilots brought off a letter from a gentleman who bad been in Ihe British service, re- questing aid to drive the French from Zuderie Zee 1 lost no time in working up, aud anchored just out of gun- shot of a heavy baltery, which totally commanded the passage. As it was necessary lo pass, in execution of your orders, I made the disposition for attacking it. I therefore collected fifty marines aud 70 seamen from the Horatio, with tbe same number from the Amphion, with a determination of storming it from the rear, as soon as ihe tide would answer for the boats to leave the ship, which could 1101 be till nine P. M. During the interval a deputation from the principal cit izens came on board under'a fiag of truce from the French General, requesting that, in order to save tbe effusion of blood, and prevent I be disorders w hich were likely to ensue in Ihe city, then in a stale of insurrection, terms of capitu- lation should be granted, by which Ihe French, with their baggage, should be allowed to withdraw, and be conveyed to Bergen- op- Zoom ; this I peremptorily refused, and sent back the terms. The thickness of the weather did not en- able the deputation to quit the ship before ten o'clock at night, which induced me to extend the time till midnight. I bad not proceeded any considerable distance from tbe ship, before the signal, in token nf submission, was made. I landed al tiie battery, which having secured, 1 went forward to the tow n, and found the native French had made their escape 1 directed the seamen to remain at the gale, and entered with the marines amidst the acclamations of an immense multitude; proceeding to ihe town- hall, 1 was met by Ihe, most respectable inhabitants in a body, and tben having dissolved the French municipal authorities, 1 directed tbe ancient magistrates of the city to resume their functions. This morning, in compliance with my directions, the magis- trates ot the town of Browirsbaven reported tlieir having driven the French from thence, and they received similar inju etions witb respect to Iheir Provisional Government 1 took possession of a brig of 14 guns, formerly tiis Majesty's brig Bustler, which ttic enemy had attempted to scuttle, also a French gun boat, and a considerable quantity of powder, and have, in the course of this day, brought in 20 prisoners, aud more are oxpecteel, 1 feel happy in having ohlatined so important an acquisition as the wtiole island of Schowen, without bloodshed, and facilitating the means of opening a communication w ith thc allied forces in tbe south of Holland. The Gazette also contains another letter from Capt. Stuart, inclosing au account of the destruction of a battery of six twenty- four pounders on the island of Tholcn, which would have materially interrupted the progress of the ships lo the Keetan. WHITEHALL, DECEMBER 18. Dis Iloyal Highness the Prince Regent has been pleased, in the name and Oil Ihe behalf of h s Majesty, to constitute and appoint the Right Hou. Robert Banks, Earl of Liverpool; the Right Hon. Nicholas Vansittart; the Right Hon. William Fitzgerald, Chancellor of the Exchequer of Ireland ; Berkeley Paget, Esq. William Lowther. Esq ( commonly called Viscount Lowther) and Charles Grant, jun. Esq. to be Commissioners for executing thc office of Treasurer of his Majesty's Exchequer. A Dutch Mail arrived last night with papers to tbe 17th inst The allies are matching towards Antwerp, where great apprehensions aud disorder are said to exist. On the land side it is supposed it may be attacked with advan- tage, Bonaparte never having calculated Upon any such attack. It is distant about 25 mites from Breda, with which tbe intercourse lias beeti facilitated hy a paved road over tbe intervening heath, formed by Napoleon to connect his Flemish aiid Dutch possessions It is also stated, that the whole fleet is laid up beyond the city, in Ihe Upper Scheldt, from which escape would be impossible. The desertions from the fleet are numerous. Tlie whole crew of one of llie ships lately deserted in a body. Bv I li c last advices from thc Continent it appears that Dantzic has capitulated, hut the terms being similar, to those granted to the garrison of Dresden, ttie Field- Marshal Schwarlzenberg has refused to ratify it. The Danish troops, 011 the approach of tlie Prince Royal, had left the French ariiiy under Davonsl, who had s1int him- self up iu Hamburgh.—-' Tlie English transports and men of war were, on the i4lh, Hearing the Dutch coast north of Hetvoelsluys ; a few of the transports with troops on board entered Hclvoet on ttie 15th. ' the head quarters of Ihe allied army were removed on the 91I1 to Friedbergh. General Taylor writes, lhat Ger- Iruydenberg is in tbe possessioii of the Russians. Sir T Graham has sent letters, announcing his arrival at the Roumpol on tbe 15th Private letters, it is said, have been received from France, which positively assert tbat a negoeiation is carrying on at Fatikfort between France aiid the Allies. Accounts from St. . lean ( le Lots, to llie 5th inst. have been received. Lord Wellington, wilh Ihe brigade of guards, still occupied lhat town, anil the greatest harmony conti- nued to exist between ihe inhabitants and Ihe soldiery. It is understood that Lord Wellington wrote Marshal Soult a letter, on his entering Si. Jean de I. uz, in which he re- quested the Marshal to allow the inhabitants to re turn tu their houses in St.. lean de Luz, and the villages occupicd by us. Soult sent for the civil authority at Bayonne, and calmly shewing him Lord W.' s letter, desired him to make a return of such families as wished 10 return. A long lisl was soon handed tn the Marshal, who ordered all the females to be marched to the British lines, and the males to be incorporated with his battalions. The armv retains ils former position. Gen. Morillo's division rests it's right on thc Pyreiiuccs; General Sir Rowland Hill's head- quarters are at Espilelte, he commands the right corps d'armee; Sir Johu Hope is a league in front of St. Jean de Luz ; the Nieve runs in front ofthe right; the left of course rests on the sea ; the position is a good one, and nobody seems to hazard an opinion 011 the subject of the present adva nee. Some oflhe Evening Papers state, tbat there is au insur- rection in Paris, and that the white cockade has been hoisted iu favour of the House of Bouillon! This intel- ligence originated entirely iu a letter from Paris, of the 14th, which states only, liiat iu many private circles the w hite cockade 111 favour of the Bourbons had been shewn: the time for ils display would, it was added, immediately succeed the Emperor's Speech to the Legislative Body, provided it was of a warlike tendency. It is intimated, lhat although Ihe meeting of Hist Body was fixed for the 19th iust. il was believed lhat Ibe day would he altered to tbe 1.7th. The public mind ut Paris was filled with [ alarm. 1 A person who arrived yesterday from I be coast of France, | makes Ihe following statement:—. « 1 was piesent at the j village of Berg, near Gravel ines, a few days ago, when the j Prefect arrived, with a few gens d'armes, to enforce the j conscriptiou laws against some youths of the place, who bad refused to march lo 1 tie armies. The appearance of the gens- d'ai mes seemed to serve as a signal to theinlia- S bitants in general to defend iheir brothers and children. | With such weapons 11s tlicy could procure, Ihey fell upon the Prefect and his escort, w hom they soon put, to flight. 1 he Prefect himself tied lo au upper aparlmcut in a neigh- j hom ing bouse, but was pursued, and, as I heard, thrown } from llie window, and killed 011 the spot. In ttie mean I whiie, the Sub- Piefect of tbe district having arrived with a reinforcement of getis- d'nrines, and rallied the fugitives, made a regular attack on the conscripts and their friends ; bntuhen I came away, the latter were victorious, theSub- Piefeet bad been driven in disgrace from the field of battle, and the mob had almost destroyed a house in which he bad been accustomed to take up bis residence." Tbe following is copied from a morning paper :—. « There is to be a most splendid entertainment given al Carlton House on the Bill Ii iluv of Ihe Princess Charlotte, ( tbe 71b January next) when she would he of age, if her Royal Highness were Heir Apparent lo the Crown, and conse- quently may lie regarded as of full age being Heir Presump- tive Il is expected, that notwithstanding the adjournment of Parliament, all Ibe principal nobility of Ihe united kingdom will make it a point 10 he present to pay tin ir respects to t heir future Sovereign. The preparations mak- ing for the Fete are of Ihe most sumptuous kind, and 11 is " believed that is only the commencement of a series of Fete?, which will terminate in Die marriage of the illustrious pei- sonagc with the Hereditary Prince of Orange; an union that mav be t i'o means of establishing, not meieiy a barrier to the Continental Powers again- t Prince. but a security to Eng- land against the r- vival of that system of interdict on our commerce which ha^ bcen so severely felt in the present war. This projected alliance will, of coi. rse, give vise to much and very serious discussion ; but iu all Eurupe where Could there be found so suitable a match for the Heir Presumptive of England, as tlie Heir Apparent of the Netherlands ? And what countries could lie su naturally or so beneficially con- nected ?" The following Address from the University of Cam- bridge, was presented to the Prince Regent yesterday : To his Koyat Highness i. eorge Prince of tl ' ales, Regent oj' the United Kingdom t\ f Greul Britain and Ireland. " We, his Majesty's t'uithful and loyal subjects, the Chancellor, Masters, and Scholars, of ttie University of Cambridge, lieg leave to. approach your Royal Highness with sincere and heartfelt congratulations on ttie lale signal victories which have been obtained by thc arms of his Majesty and hisaugust Allies. " The Ruler ol France, uuder Ihe seducing and deceit fill pretence of giving freedom to mankind, aud supported by the resources of a powerful nation, had subjugated states and kingdoms ill rapid succession, aud tyrannized over them with Unexampled severity Great Biiiain alone, under the protection of Divine Providence, antl directed by your Royal Highness's wise and vigorous Councils, opposed wilh resolution and perseverance the projects of his insati- able ainbition She lias destioyeel bis fleet, subdued his colonies, and ' defeated his armies, and by Ihis illustrious " example litis taught the nations of the Continent to assert their independence, to frustrate his projects, and cause him to feel those calamities which he has so long wantonly inflicted 011 mankind. " The exertions of your Royal Highness, and the Illus- trious Sovereigns united in the same cause, have beeu at- tended with a success to which history affords 110 parallel. Y'ou have revived iu nations and individual* the almost ex- piring hope, tbat every man may live to enjoy the fruits of bis o « 11 nditstry in security and peace. " We particularly rejoice to see his Majesty's Hano- verian subjects, after so niaiiy year's of sufferings, delivered from the grasp of the inVade'r, and reslmcd to liberty and ttie blessings of his Majesty's paternal Govei nineul " The delusion of false political principles is now dis- pelled; these principles false in theory have been found by fatal experience to be productive in practice oiily of misery and destruction.

A singular and unexpected occurrence toe* k place last week among the French prisoners of war, confined on board the Sampson prison ship 111 the Med way. Two parties have arisen, one of whom assert the propriety and legality of placing the Bourbons em the throne of their ancestors, whilst the others contend for the dy- nasty of Bonaparte. From argument they proceeded to threats and menaces, and, at last, the two parties arranged themselves in order ot battle, and last week commenced a desperate conflict, which terminated in Ihe detent of Bonaparte's idherents. Nearly 600 men and officers, who look part in the affray, have been put in close confinement. Local Miii.

On Thursday a very numerous meeting of the Tradesmen and Friends ofthe Family dined at the Lion Inn in this town, to celebrate the event: the whole of ihe evening passed in the utmost conviviality, and the highest respect and esteem were testified for that very ancient and truly respectable family. On Friday last, Otefey Park, near Ellesniere, tlie re- sidence, of A. Mathew, Esq. was opened to that extensive neighbourhood hy a splendid ball and supper. The whole approach through the Park was highly illuminated by numerous lamps suspended on the branches of the vener- able oaks, and the various lights about the house and from the windows being reflected on the extensive Mere, was the highest addition to this chearful scene. The dancing com- menced at ten o'clock; the supper rooms were opened at one, when the company were conducted lo an entertain- ment composed of every variety iu season. Liverpool was last week very prominent in a general expression of joy for the late victories and various suc- cesses.— On Tuesday night there was a most brilliant illu- mination throughout the town, with a great variety of transparencies, coloured lamps,& e. On Weduesday a Ball for tbe benefit of the Public Charities ; a grand display of Fire- Works on Thursday; and on Friday a Public Dinner, or Dinners.— The ball was given in the magnificent apart- ments in the Town Hall, and was attended by 985 ladies aud gentlemen.— Ou Tuesday, the poor in the Workhouse there, in number 1107, and tbe prisoners in the House of Correction, were regaled wilh eacli one pound of roast beef, two pounds i. f potatoes, eight ounces of bread, and imc pint of good ale, as an agreeable substitute for their usual dinner. The grand ball, held at the Crow n Inn, in Nantwich, on Thursday, F lie 9th instant, to celebrate the glorious news N, I „„,.

Sprout, Hewitt, and Edleston, jun. tained by letters from Passages of the 111th instant,- Managers'. The company first assembled in tbe e- ard One ot tins date, brought by the Nnnrod cutter, from " • • ' an Officer in the Commissariat Department, who wit- nessed the convict from an adjoiuing height, states, that having heard that Lord Wellington had advanced, and that ;- ir John Hope was already engaged with the enemy, he hastened to the scene of action, to obtain sight of the operations, and to learn all that had passed. He asx- rtained that Lord Wellington crossed the Nive, which empties itself into the Adour, on the 9th, at day- light, while Sir John Hope, on his left, made a re- coimoissance towards Bayonne by the sea coast. The latter, it appears, was warmly received, and ( he enemy contested the ground, which had been made strong, with more obstinacy and bravery than had been calcu- lated on from Ihe late spec mens he had given. He was, notwithstanding, driven under the walls of Bayonne, but with the loss of from 4 to 500 men. No officer of rank fell on the occasion. The ground here was un- comfortable for the troops; and therefore, after dark, the left column fell back to its former situation. Ti e roads could not well be worse, and the night was wet and comfortless. The right was belter off, and suc- ceeded in all its objects to the utmost expectation of the Commander in Chief. The advance of the right was understood by the writer to be at St. Pierre, near to Bayonne, aud the euemy was driven entirely over the Rivec. ll is added in ihe same letter, that all Ihe transports bad been dispersed in the late gales, and not more than 12 of them had reached Iheir destination, having on board supplies of bread and corn. This assistance came very opportunely, as the army was much in want of provisions. Forage had been extremely scarce, and to this circumstance was attributed the forward movement of Lord Wellington on the 9th. The French soldiers pillaged and plundered their counlryitieu without mercy, not a single house was spared in the retreat. The Nim- rod, it was supposed, would have been detained to bring home Lord Wellington's dispatches, had his leird- ship not supposed she had sailed a day sooner than she did. Montreal Gazettes to the 10th of November have come to hand. They contain an account of tiie defeat of the American General Hampton, on the 26' h of October, in an attempt to force a position occupied by Lieut.- Col. Salsbury, with about 300 Militia and Glen- garry Fencibles, on the Chatnguay river. The American iorce consisted of 7000 infantry, 400 cavalry, and from 10 to 12 pieces'tif cannon. About 20 ot the enemy were made prisoners, 40 killed were iound on the held, and they carried oil a great number of wounded. After tins affair they retreated Willi tiie utmost precipi- tation. In General Orders the Commander gives the troops the greatest praise. The motion for an adjournment of Parliament to the lst of March, was opposed m Ihe House of Lords by Lord Daniiey, who moved, as an amendment, tbat the lst of February he substituted. The amendment, hovv- evei, was negatived, and Ihe original motion earned withoutadivisiou ; aud the House accordingly adjourned to the lst of March. Three per Cent. Consols. 62$. rooms, from whence they proceeded ( the band playing God save ihe King) lo the hall room, w hich, on the doors being thrown open, displayed the most brilliant and pa- triotic appearance ever witnessed in Ihe old and loyal town of Nantwich. The room was fitted up with superb transparencies, and emblematical devices, indicating the glorious victories, and the general prosperity of the king- dom. At the upper end of Ibe room, in tbe centre, was a transparency of his Majesty, on horseback, over which a brilliant G II. encircled with ttie palm leaf of victory, ond the words " God save the King."— On Ibe right, Britannia offering the emblem of victory— words encircled iu tbe glory, " Britannia will not rest from ihe tumults of war without her favourite, Victory."— On the left, lhe French National Flag, torn away from its standard by the British Lion, assisted by Britannia's darling, Wellington. The Royal Standard of England and Holland surmounted the whole, iv 111 an arch of variegated lamps. - commissioned Officers and Privates informed that their Colonel was not permitted ' to ac- company them, they withdrew their ofii- r of extended service as Milijia- men, but about 70 of the private* entered into the 22( 1 Regiment i ' a more honourable in- stance of devotion and respect lo a commander, never did credit to a regiment. , Last week 15 deserters, ' confined in Chester Castle, contrived to effect their ' escape: several of them, however, have since been taken They had completely undermined the foundation wall of the buildiu", and excavated a hole large enough for a man Urrrceu through, in the outer v. all. The whole of the deserters would, no doubt, have escaped, had ii not been for the watchman, who gave the alarm, and disappointed the intentions of the remainder. There is now living in the parish of High Jiff in, in the county of Somerset, a man of the name of thoniad Traves, aged 106 years, in perf.. t health, and capabjc* of doing a little work every day, and can see without spectacles He never had the tooth ach, nor lost » toolh, and is still able to shave himself. The frost of Wednesday last proved remarkably severe at this early season. The Kennct ami Avon Canal, near Bath, was frozen over j and several skaitetra ventured on tbe surface of the basin, bul, we are son y to state, three lives were lost by this temerity :— A sou of General Sir W. Cimuingham, a voting gentleman who bad just finished his education, and was on the point of accepting a desirable situation in the East India service : a son of Dr. Briggs, of Worcester, who was on a visit at Sir William's ; and Felix Mo ™ -, ( aii apprentice of Mr. Harrison, of Union passitgcfBalh,) sou of Mogg, Esq. of Wincanton. The voiwgest of the three tell in first $ and lus companion, in endea- vouring to rescue him, shared the same fale. Anxious to render assistance to Ihe unfortunate young gentle- men, the third youth hastened to the fat il spot; the fragile surface again gave way— and he also sunk, never again to rise alive I— Thus" have th ee families been plunged into the deepest affliction by this deplorable accident. Caution to Apprentices.— Friday last, at the Sitling of Magistrates in Giocester, Mr. Woodward, a cabinet- maker, claimed ail apprentice of the name of Benjamin Edwards, who had enlisted, without his master's consent, in the Foot- guards, the serjea. t of which proved tnat, at the time of attestation, fie had declared fitmse'lf not to be an apprentice. Edwards was in consequence committed, by the Major, to the House of Corry- ctiou, to be kept to hard labour, for two years. He is also to be indicted at Ihe uext Sessions, for obtaining money from the regiment under false pretences ; besides which, at the expiration of tlie term of his apprentice- ship, he will still be compel ed to yield himself up as a soldier, or be apprehended and punished as a deserter. / i eduction in thc price of die and Porter.— A reduction of 10s. in the barrel of ale, and 5s. in lhat of amber, took place in London last week. Several of the brewers also have - sent notice to the publicans of their intention immediately IO reduce the price of porter. Thus the public will sensibly feel, in another necessary of life, the bounly of Providence in blessing the country w tli an abundant harvest Bath and West of England Agricultural Society. The Anniversary Meeting of this Institution was holden at Helling- House, Bath, last week. Among the new implements of agriculture exhibited, was a patent rub- bing machine, the property of Messrs. Todd and James, of Bristol, constructed on new principles, and capable of detaching eight quarters of wheat per day^ bv the power of one horse. It was deemed hy the experienced gentlemen who witnessed its operation, as deserving the highest attention, and that it would probably supersede all threshing machines.— The Bedfordean gold medal was awarded to the Rev. J. Willis, of Sopley, Hamp- shire, for an excellent essay on the commutation of tithes. MARKET HERALD. Return of the Price of Wheat here in the Week ending Friday last, 9s. 6d. to 12s.

The greatest praise is due to the managers, for their indefatigable exertions and attention to the comfort anel pleasure of the ball. The dancing was kept npvvitli great spirit until a late hour. God save the King was excellently sung in full chorus, when the company sepa- r Ihe immediate superiutendance of Mr. Owen, of i Nantwich, who, on this, as well as 011 several either occa. j sions, displayed tbe most superior taste and skill.— Chester 1 Chronicle. In addition to the sum of S00?. which that truly philanthropic character, Mr. Webb, left with the Rev. Mr. BYrou, of Worcester, in May last, for the appren- ticeship of nine orphan boys, he made, during the last week, a further provision for ten more boys and one female, allowing from 30/. to 40/. each as a premium. Independently of this additional mark of his beneficent mind, many distressed persons partook of his unbound- ed liberality ; thus fulfilling what he unostentatiously deems his religious duty, which his ample means and benevolent heart promp s him to accomplish. The Corporation of Dorchester compromised tlieir disunion within two days of the lapse of that, valuable hiving to thc Bishop of Bristol; and the majority of five against three ot that Corporate Body, have sealed a legal presentation thereto.

That it softens your sorrows, assuages your woes, And blunts e'en the sting of despair ? 1 too have a friend that can always impart Enjoyment and comfort enough— For obtain'd is the fondest desire of my heart When I'm blest with abundance of snuff. If Heav'n, in its wisdom, send sources of grief, I'm thankful tbe stock is no more: Tfjrst take a pinch, aud my heart finds relief- Then I sneeze— and my troubles are o'er ! STi? thus I with fortitude brave every storm, When winds of affliction blow rough : Let the fugitive evil assume any form. So it be not a famine of snuff, In search after Happiness men are perplex'd For few can tbe Goddess obtain ; Some place her in this good, and some in the next, But the wisest conjectures prove vain : Thev may tell yotl the nymph loves the . glitter of gold, And dwells with the Miser— such stuff 1 No! my pocket bas always been found her strong bold, And her palace— a box r> f good snuff. The Lawyer so grave, ere he opens his case, In obscurity finds it is hid j -, . . But the bright glow of knowledge illumines his face, As he gives the three taps on the ltd. E'en the Judge on the bench hears the sound with delight, Be his countenance ever so gruff— lie bids the - tern sentence of judgment take flight, And mercy inhales with a— snuff. The following Alteration of the Song of " England's King and England's Glory," was sung at the Dinner in the Exchange Great Room at Manchester, in honour of the late gloriou Victories. ,( ON Silamanca's plain our valiant troops were form'd, ( And in the breeze the British colours proudly, proudly waving; With martial ardor every soldier warm'd, For fight, for fight, for victory every bosom heaving : Firm as the oak th3t mocks the roaring wind. Each man resolv'd to die, or live in Fame's bright story, Tbe heroes stood, in phalanx bold, combin'd, To fight for England's King— for England's Glory. On conquest bent, the French troops took the field, ' Denouncing. Vengeance ' gainst the Sons of England's happy Nation; But Britain's foes that day were fore'd to yield, And Wellington lemain'd the Conqueror of the station: The vigorous charge, the well- directed fire, With thoughts of gallant deeds— of AbercromWe's story', Did every heart, each British heart inspire To ficht for England's King— for England's Glory. Still, Britons ! still support the glorious Cause ; Rejoice, rejoice, Ibat gieat success has that good Cause attended ; . Protect your King, yout Altars, Freedom, Laws, And give your thanks to him who has yourall defended. The brave who fight against our Country's foes With Wellington shall live in far- spread Fame's bright, story; Wilh Wellington shall live within the hearts of those Who love Old England's King— Old England's Glory. ^ IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT* ALARM OF THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT.

" Resolved, That we think it necessary, at this particular time, to re- adopt our Resolution of the year 1810; tint, as Irishmen and Catholics, we never can or will consent to any inteiference on the part of the Crown, or the Servants of the Crown, in the appointment of our Bishops; and that, with every disposition to meet, as far as it can be done, the wishes of our Parliamentary friends and Protestant fellow- subjects. we yet feel ourselves bound to declare, that no set tlement crin be final or satisfactory, which has for its basis, or at all involves anv innovation or alteration, to be made by authority of Parliament, in the doctrine or discipline of the Catholic Church in Ireland— that this declaration is not lightly made, but is grounded upon tbe concurrence of tbis Board wiih ibe Prelates, and ibe sentiments of the Catholic Body at large, as publicly and repeatedly expresed at tbe several Meetings, held for the last three years in every part of the kingdom " If it is the wish of these Gentlemen to disgust tlieir friends, and prevent the success of the measure they profess lo advocate, we are convinced they could not have hit on a more certain plan.— A plan which strikes at the very root of conciliation, and converts their petition into a demand, would degrade toe Legislature to listen to, and must prove destructive to the hopes of their warmest advocates. House of Orange.— The following account of the House of Orange cannot fail, al this moment, to be interesting to our readers.— William of Nassau, Prince of Orange, formed the famous Union of Utrecht, in 1579, ar. d was the first Stallholder. He married— Is', Atnie of Egmont— 2d, Anne of Saxony— 3d, Charlotte of Boiirbon— 4th, Louisa Coligni. He was succeeded lis the Sfadtholder, by Maurice, son ol Anne of Saxotiy, ( after whom I tie . Mauritius were named). He was again succeeded by Frederick Henry, the sou of William 1. and Louisa Coligni, and • married Amelia, daughter of the Count of Solms— He was succeeded by Wil- liam II. who married Mary, daughter of Charles 1. King of England.— William III. the next in succession', married Mary, daughter of James II King of England, and Anne Hyde.— The next, William IV. was a great grandson of adaughler of William 11. and married Anne, daughter of George II. King of England.— William V. ( ihe Stadtliolder who sought refuge iu England at Ihe commencement of the French revolution) married Fre- dcrica Sophia, Princess of Prussia.— 11 is son, Ihe present Prince nf Orange, and Ihe sixth William, who is now hailed " Sovereign of the Netherlands," under the title of William I. married the sisler of the present King ol Prussia, and the Duchess of York; and his son, the hereditary Prince, is the gallant youth who has distin- guished himself under Lord Wellington. The Sovereign ot the Netherlands is, we believe, a widower. The following are the orders to Ihe army, issued by tlie Commander in Chief, Field Marshal Prince Von Sell war Kenbcrg, on the day preceding the ever memor- able battle of Leipzic, from his head- quarters at Pegau, • on October 16: • The most important epocha of the sacred war is now arrived Brave Warriors, piepaie yourselves for combat!

The Dutch Papers contain a Decree of the Prince of Orange, annulling all the duties of Customs, and restrictions on trade in the Dutch ports, supported by the French, and recurring lo the former laws of Hol- land, with reference particularly to the renewed ami- cable relations with this country. To counteract the iapul and brilliant successes of the Confederates, Bonaparte has positively attempted to arrest their victorious progress by overtures ol peace. And what were its terms ?— He offered to resign his pretensions to Germany I He meant, of course, to guard every thing to Lie West of the Rhine, with Hol- land, Switzerland, and the whole of Italy. Moderate and seasonable pacificator ! Will any one hereafter call his love of peace in qiiestioa f His proposals were, of He, rejected with contempt. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MONDAY, DECEMBER 13. A new writ was ordered for the election of a member!' serve in Parliament for Carmarthen, in the room of M Campbell. Esq. who lias since liis election accepted tbe Chilteru Hundreds. , Mr. BENSON presented a Petition, signed bv upwards of 1200 Merchants, Manufacturers, and Traders of Liverpool, complaining of the injury whieh the fair trader suffered from the disposal of manufactured goods by itinerant Auctioneers, and praying relief.— Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. HORNER rose to cail the attention of the House to an evil which had arisen from the circumstance of clauses having found their way in the act of Parliament, intended to operate locally for the relief of the poor, which were contrary tothe general law of the land. An hon. friend of his had at present a bill iu progress through the Honse, for do ng away those clauses in all bills which had been passed. Whether he should go the lull length of that bill, he could not tell. Some of the clauses might have been rendered necessaiy, by having been once enacted; but it was certainly highly expedient that caution should be adopted for the future. This subject had engaged tbe attention of a G'mmittee of the House, and ii had been reported to the House, that tbe clauses most to be objected lo, were those which went to alter the usual mode of lating— clauses which went to alter the general law of settlement, and those which gave a powerof corporal punish- ment to persons having the superintendence of the poor. Those clauses, particularly the last, ought, on no account, to be introduced ; and therefore he should now propose re- solutions for Ihe adoption of Ihe House, ordering, that in- structions should be given to Committees never to permit any bill to comedown tothe House having such clauses in it Mr. Horner concluded by moving Resolutions to this effect ; which he said, if approved of aftei a trial of OUR session, might then bemadestandingorders.— Mr. VANSITTART and Mr. Seijeant ONSLOW, approved the motion. Sir S. ROMILLY thought there was another class of clauses which ought to be noticed in his hon. friend's Resolutions. In some parishes it had been a practice tn let out the poor; be hoped the Resolution would be so mended as to prevent such a practice in future.— Mr. HORNER had no objection to amend his Resolution, as suggested by his hou friend.— The CHANCtLLoR of the EXCHEQUER suggested Ihe pro- priety of tbe House taking time for consideration before il adopted the : roposed Amendment.— The Resolutions, in their original fonn, were then agreed tel. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14. THE PRINCE OF ORANGE. Sir JAMES M'INTO H rose to put a question to the noble Seciefary of Slate opposite ( Castlereagh)— Having obsernd in the Gazette of Saturday last that a new designation and eharacter had been given to our Ambassador at the Hague; aud that the Prince of Orange received in the same Guzetu a new style and title, he had come down to Ihe House earlv on Monday afternoon, for the purpose of putting a question to the noble lord on the subject. The motives which had prevented him then from putting the question he had intend- ed, were known to tbat noble lord. He felt it, however, to be bis duty to inquire into this alteration in ttie established constitution of another country and which had received Ihe sanction of his Majesty's Ministers ; but in doing so, be was aware that Parliamentary usage would not permit him to preface the question he had to put; but if it did, be could a. sure the noble lord, tbat he hud no disposition to embarrass Ministers, or to treat the subject contrary ti tbat delicacy which it required, either on the present or any other future occasion, when it might come bt fore the House for discussion. He then asked whether it was known to Ministers before the departure of his Serene Highness the Prince of Orange from Great Britain, for Holland, that his Serene Highness intended to accept, or was to receive, any titles unknown to the former Constitution of the Netherlands; and if such an intention w as known to exist on the part of his Serene Highness, w hether he had received the concurrence of his Majesty's Ministers to ihat deteiinitiation ? Lord CA3TI. EREAcu said, he was not privy to any such determination on the part of bis Serene Highness; nor did he think that he had any such determination previous to his departure from this country. The first intimation Ministers hail received of a new title having been conferred on the Piince of Orange, was from his Majesty's Ambassador at the Hague ; and be was happy to say, that il was, as far as he knew, a spontaneous and unanimous expression of the people of Holland, not merely coming from the old friends of the House of Orange, but even from those who had formerly been most adverse and hostile to that family. The credentials of the Earl of Clancarty, our Ambassador at the Hague, had been purposely withheld, until the resolution ofthe people of Holland should be known, as to a fixed Government if tha' country, his Serene Highness having been invited over by the provisional Government of the Netherlands. This was done to maik, in the strongest manner, the determination of Ills Majesty's Ministers not to interfere with the Government of Holland, or of auy other country w hatever. Sir J. M'INTOSH said, that in consequence partly of what had fallen from Ihe noble lord, and partly from his own notions of the importance of the crisis, and on Parliamentaiy aud Constitutional grounds, he should oppose any long ad- journment of Parliament, unless Ministers could shew some very substantial reasons for it — Loid CASTLERBAGH said, it was his intention to move that tbe House, at its rising, should adjourn to Friday. The motion for the adjournment during tile recess would be made on Monday uext, when the hon. me uber might state any objection to it tbat he might think proper. Here the conversation dropped. A Foreign Gazette, which reached town at a late hour on Wednesday, contains the following most import Hit article. II has never appeared in ilie French papers, but we understand has been confidentially addressed by the Minister of Justice to all the Judges and Magis- trates in France. There never came from any Govern- ment so complete antl so undisguised an acknowledgment of dread at the approach of an enemy, aud want of confidence in the means of resistance : — MINISTRY OF JUSTICE. The GRAND JUDGE, MINISTER of JUSTICE, To the Judges and Tribunals of the Empiie. From ihe Mm ster's Cabinet. ( CIBCU I, AR.) Paris, Nov. 19 " In this moment of alarm, when every French heart must be deeply affected hy the dangers of the country, I make this communication to you, who being honoured wilh the public confidence, can exercise a powerful influence over the minds and feelings of vour fe low citizens— The frontiers of the empire on the side of the Pyrennees and on the North have been forced— Those of the Rhine and the Alps are threatened— and it must not be. concealed that the in- terior of France will soon become the prey of the enemy, if measures equally prompt and vigorous be not adopted lo frustrate his plans and disappoint his expectation. " The deliverance of the country depends upon the speedy and complete execution of llie decree of the 16th of this month, by Which 330,000 men are placed at the disposal of the Minister at War. When this great and salutary measure shall be fully carried ihto operation, W'e will have nothing more to tear; but it must be observed tbat this object is most indispensable, for, il it be not accomplished, Fiance must become the Theatre of War, aud be delivered up lo all the horrors which follow in ils train. •' It is well known that our enctnvi embittered by former defeats, advances against us, stimulated by the ihirst of revenge : you may judge, then, tbe lot which would await us, were he to become1 master of our lives and properties. This is not a question respecting glory, which has always hud so much power over the French Nation ; but our integrity us a people is in danger, and with it the existence of all that is dear to us. And is evenelea. h the worst we should have to fear? Fire, devastation, and tbe total destruction ot onr unhappy country— such is tbe spectacle which will infallibly be exhibited if France be subdued by her enemy. We have io add to this frightful picture, scoflings of every kind, which are far m re difficult to be endured bv an honourable mind than death itself, and whicn, the abhorrence the idea excites, does not permit me lo describe.

We have for us the couiage of our troops and the genius of tlie great commanders who lead them. But it is not enough. We ought not to expose onr champions to a strugg e loo unequal in point of numbers, and must, there- to* e, put forth a force corresponding to that, which attacks us. What an encouragement for our veterans to see themselves reinforced by gallant youths, who, incorporated into their ranks, wdl enable them again to carry terroi into the enemy's camp, to drive him back, to deliver France, and to conquer that peace which is the want of the whole, world " The high spirited youths, ou whom tbe voice of the country now calls, will be proud of their high destination, When they are convinced ihat the fate of F ance is in their hands, they will render noble efforts equal to the glorious task which they are called upon to fulfil.

The Emperor of Russia, tbe Emperor of Dutch Festival.— The Liberation of Holland was celebrated on Tuesday, at the City of London Tavern, as one of those political events which give consequence and character to Ihe age in which we live. To com- memorate the Revolution, a banquet was provided, at which the viands were less gratifying to the animal ap- petite, than the moral sensibility excited was to ihe libe- ral mind. His Royal Highness tbe Duke of Clarence in the Chair, was supported by Iheir Royal Highnesses the Dukes of York and Kent; the Hereditary Prince of Orange; the Earis of Harrowby, Westmoreland, Buckinghamshire, Liverpool, Bathurst, & Dartmouth ; Lord Viscoui. ts Sidiuouth aud Castlereagh ; Lords Reay and Athlone, Right Hon.

Dr. Weminck, & c. — Among Ihe vocal performers who contributed to Ihe amusement of the Company, were Mr. Braham ( who attended as a visitor) and Messrs. Taylor and Bellamy ; and a Glee of peculiar interest was sung, composed for the occasion. The usual toasts were given in compliment to the Royal Family, and in ad- dition—" The Emancipation of Holland"—" The Sovereign Prince of the Netherlands"—" The Heredi- tary Prince"—" The Duke of York and the Army"— " The Duke of Clarence and theNavy,& c."— His Serene Highness, in returning thanks for the honour conferred upon him, and for the sentiments eXpiesSed ol his illus- trious Father, iu delicate terms adverted to the pride he tell al having received a British education, and his instruction in the art of war from the Gallant Com- mander in the Peninsula. The Duke of Clarence maintained the spirit of Hie convivial meeting, by fre- quent appropriate addresses lo the company, and the utmost harmony prevailed during the whole entertain* inent.— Among the decorations were au illumination, with the words " iolum Deo Gloria;" and on the right of the t hairman were displayed the British; aud on the left the Dutch colours. The dinner consisted of two courses and a dessert, wilh foreign wines oft: very de- scription.— The Stewards were distinguished by orange ribbons, with the legend from the national motto of Holland, " Concordia res parva: crescunt." The grand facade of the tavern was illuminated with G. R. the Crown intervening, and with " The Emancipation of Holland"—" l'he Allies"— and " Orange Boven." The Hereditary Prince of Orange paid a visit on Tuesday to the Princess Charlotte, at Warwick- house, at which he was introduced by the Priucc Regent in person. On Sunday the Hereditary Prince dined with the Regent, and the Princess Charlotte was of the parly. These things will, without doubt, tend to con. firm the rumours prevalent for some time, of a pro- jected mutrimouial alliance between the young Prince and Princess. We know not any match more appro- priate or more desirable. The following is an extract of a letter from Smyrna: —" We have received intelligence of a dreadful calamity having overtaken the largest caravan of the season, on ils route from Mecca to Aleppo. Tbe caravan consisted ol 2000 souls— merchants aud travellers from the Red Sea and Persian Gulph, pilgrims returning from per- forming their devotions at Mecca, and a numerous train of attendants, the whole escorted by 400 military. The march was in three columns.— On the 13th of August last they entered the great Arabian Desert, in which they joiirnied seven days, and were already approaching its edge. A few hours more would have placed tliern beyond danger j but alas! they were not permitted to return in safety. On the morning of the 23d, just as they had struck their tents, and commenced their march, a wind rose from the North East, and blew with tremendous violence They increased the rapidity of their march to escape the threatening danger; but the fatal Kainzin had set in. On a sudden, dense clouds were observed, whose extremity obscured llie Horizon, and sviept the face of the desert. Tliey approached the columns, and obscured the line of march. Both men and beasts, struck by a sense of common danger, uttered loud cries. The next moment they fell, beneath its pestiferous influence, lifeless corpses. Of 2000 souls composing the caravan, not more than 20 escaped tins calamity.— They owed their safety to tne swiftness of their dromedaries," Copper Currency.— Much misapprehension having taken place with respect to the conversation whic. oc- curred in the House of Commons on the 10th instant, on the subject of the Copper Currency, it is material, to state particularly what passed on that occasion, with a view ol preventing those inconveniences which might arise from mistaking the intentions of Government cu this subject. Mr. GRLNFELL having made some observations on the inconveniences which were produced in the . Metropolis from a redundancy ol CopperCom, and especially fioin tiie intro- duction of a great number of counterfeit halfpence, and local or private copper tokens, proceeded to state that the subject had long S'nce^ beeu represented to Government as requiring a remedy, and that he had reason to believe that some pro- ceeding w ould have taken place some years ago, but from an apprehension of the expense which might i> e incurred by Government iu calling in and exchanging the old legal copper coin, without doing which, it appeared to be agreed that no effectual stop could be put to the circulation or counterfeits ; that the evils weie now so greatly increased, bv the vast number of private tokens lately introduced, that he hoped ihe consideration ol expense would no longer deier the Govern- ment from applying a remedy, and he desired to know from the Chancellor of Ihe Exchequer, whether any steps were likely to be speedily taken on the subject. Mr. VANSITTARTanswered, that he hail not mnch to add to what he had soon alter the Meeting of Parliament stated, < u answer to a question of ihe same uature, viz. that the subject had been long uiiili r '. he consideration of ihe Privy Council; that he hopeo that tlieir proceedings won d be in sufficient forwardness to enable biin to .- ubmit a measure to the consi- deration of Parliament soon aftei llie Chii- un. s recess ; ai d that he could assure the House that ( tie coiisideranon oi expence would not deter ihe Government ( whatever impor- tance ought to attach to public economy in the present circumstances of the country) from attempting lo put a stop to practices, which h « under tood to be so injurious io ihe public; that the justice ahA good faith of the Government were pledged to the redemption ot tne legal Copper Coin ae its current rate, and that as soon a.- » ineasutes were sufficients piepared lor lhat purpose, it . night be ( failed in and lepl. icea by a new currency : and that nt hoped the effect of doing - would be lo slop the circulation of any base and counleileii coin. It appears therefore, lobe the intention cf Government, that all legal copper coin shall be icceived at it » ctureii value, and that consequently no per son ci. n run any ri.- K o loss byrec iving it; anil it is to n* observed, that as it l in.. i current by his Majesty's Proclamation, no person c-. lawfully refuse to leoeive it, aud lhat any person so domj is liable to prosecution. Austria, the King of Prussia, and other formidable armies upon the banks of the Rhine. One single object directs all these masses. A general peace, founded upon natural limits, the sole guarantee of its solidity. In the long miseries that have desolated tlie Continent, the instruments have been as much to be pitied as the victims ; and it is the happiness of Frenchmen, as well as tbat of then own nations, that the allied Sovereigns desire. War can have but one honourable object; a conquest which alone is desirable and just— Peace. Millions of voices demand it ofthe French people. Will they be deaf to the vwice of humanity, of reason and their dearest interests ? " Who is Ihe Frenchman, who is the man that is a true European that has not been profoundly affected in reading the reply of Napoleon to the Senate? The President of that Assembly, in the name of France, demands peace of the Emperor, aud this Sovereign, who for two years bas been the witness of Ihe death of 600,000 men, replies coldly, aud merely says, tbat posterity shall acknowledge that the existing circumstances were not above him. Thus tbe Emperor Napoleon does not wish for peace, and as Euiope desires il, she ought to prepare to obtain it by means of arms. Let us hope that the wishes of the French will suite with those of Europe.'" The following are the particulars of a communica- tion from Bremen, dated the 3( 1 instant, regarding the situation and circumstances of the army of the Crown Prince, and the forces opposed to him;— " ' lhe army of lire Prince Royal of Sweden consists of about 25,000 Russians, an equal number of Swedes, and several regiments of Pitissians, composing in the whole ( independent of tbe detachments under Bnlow, in Holland), a force of about 60,000 men. " His Royal Highness arrived on tbe 26th ult. at Bremen, and on the 29th he left it for Lunenburg. Wherever he appears, he is received under triumphal arches, and by all ranks and classes be is haiied as the deliverer of the Country. •• From Lunenburg he was to advance to Ihe Steignitz, where Count Walmoden with about 10 or 12,( 00 men, was expecting him, having on the opposite shoie the Gallo- Danilh army under Marshal Davoust. The forces of the latter were composed of 15,000 French and 17,000 Danes ; the latter constituted a separate corps, and did not act with him, and on that account they had taken up their quarters within the interior of Holstein." The utmost exertions are employed by the Dutch Officers appointed by the Provisional Government to procure recruits, and great success has nearly every- where attended their efforts, ll is unfortunately true, that the troops so raised consist principally of boys of not more than 15 or 16 years of age, excepting a few marines and deserters from the French armies. The whole country seems to have been stripped of its male population in the flowei of its youth, and the vigour of ils strength. The Conscription has laid its unrelent- ing hand upon, and dragged away all persons between the ages of 16 and 50, who have perished in the late campaigns. An account has been published at the Hague of the number of human bodies burnt after the retreat from Moscow, and it amounts to 243,612, aud 123,132 horses, ln Ihe towns of Holland few males are seen but those in Ihe extremes of youth or age, and many of llie latter are actually in mourning for the children lhat have been torn to slatighler. Belgrade and Semendria are said to have surrendered to the Turks, so far hack as the 28th of October; at which time Servia was considered as entirely reduced to submission.

A woman, named Eve Zuacher, died lately in Pres- burg, Hungary, at the advanced age of 123 years.— Her hair was abundant, and remained black ; her teeth were very white, and she retained ail her senses to the last. A few days before her death she taught the catechism to an infant of four years old, and walked eight miles. Extraordinary Fraud.— Lately, Thomas Pepper contrived lo get acquainted with K. Siltiury, a boy about 15, employed in the shop ot Mr. Hurst, an apothecary in tne Strand. He told him he bad got a child that was dangerously ill, aud had been told that a small quantity of calomel would do it good ; the bov at first refused to let him have it, as be understood it was dangerous, bill at length lie persuaded him to let him have some. In a few days after, Pe| per called upon the boy, and told him lite calomel had done the child much good; the boy was pleased at this information, anil let him have three grains mo'c.— About a week afterwards Pepper called upon the boy again, in a great rage, and said his child was dead; that the boy had murdered it wilh the calomel; and that he would be hanged. This threat terrified the boy extremely; but before thev parted, Pepper agreed not to say any thing about the'business, provided he would give him 3s. which the boy readily did. These demands being repeatedly made, accom- panied Willi threats, liie boy took courage, and candidly confessed tl e whole to his master i who gave him a 3s. token to give him; which, having been accomplished, Lavender, the officer, look him into custody, aud con- veyed him to Bow- street Office, where he was fully committed. Onions. - At the Manor Court, at Wakefield, a trial lately took place which has contributed much lo elucidate Ihc cause of the great failure in the crop of onions in that neighbourhood. A famous dealer in onion seed had stocked the whole country with seed, just imported from Holland, and slated lo be of a superior quality, but which hail been sea dipped, and consequently rendered not worth a farthing. The payment of a balance due for some of this infamous trash was resisted, and, al ter a trial which lasted some hours-, and in which many respectable witnesses gave evidence to Ihe wortlilcssness of this seed, the plaintiff was cast with cosls, to the great joy of a numerous Court, aud particularly of ihe gardeners, of whom numbers were paesent. It appeared on this trial, that nosi ot the growers of Unions in the whole district from A creation of British Peers, si* in number, is peeled to. take place Suon after the rising of Parliament. A large group of spots have recently been observed advancing from the Sun's eastern limb, which are at present near the centre of his disk, or one digit above it.

Hesilrreclloti.— About 15 years ago, a youth belonging to North Shields was supposed to have been drowned in going ashore from a ship in lhat harbour; and shortly after a body Was found near the spot, which the parents, taking, it for their son's, had decently buried. Not a doubt was enlertained to the contrary, till last week ; when he returned, and went to the house where he had left his parents. He found it occupied by a woman he had formerly known, and asked if she did not recollect him ? She replied she did not, when lie suddenly exclaimed, " YVIiat I have you forgot Jack ?" The poor woman instantly recognised his features, and, having no doubt of its being Jacghost, gave a scream which brought every One in the house to her assistance, whom she earnestly besought to protect her from the spirit. Jack stood astonished; at length throwing his quid with fury into the lire, he roared out, that " he would be d— d if he was a ghost," Ail explanation now took place, when he accounted for his mysterious conduct as follows; being ill used by his master, he determined to run away ; and having takeu a large dog with him into the boat, lie threw it into the water; the plunge was heard on board, and, it being very dark, his shipmates though it was he, as he repeatedly shouted " Overboard." He then entered ou board a man of war, and was directly sent abroad. Mad Hogs.— Several mad dogs have lately been seen in tbe neighbourhood of Newcastle, and, it is feared, have done considerable damage. One of them bit a child oil Thursday week at Cbapel houses; and oil Friday last, a child and some pigs were bit at St. Anthony's, by another; both dogs were killed, J. Sharp, glassinan, son of A. Sharp, of Queen- street, Newcastle, on Wednesday se'nnigbt, when he returned home from his work) complained of being unwell) ou the Thursday he was much worse, when an emetic was procured for him, but he could not bear the sight of it when made into a liquid. On Friday a medical man was brought to seC htm, who gave it as his opinion that it was a case of hydrophobia. Enquiry was then made whether he bad ever been bitten by a " dog, when he said lhat a pup of his had bit his thumb three weeks ago, and that the dog died soon after. He was immediately bled in both arms, and in the temple, as the only means likely to lead to a recovery.
