As to whether auy over- ture hid been made lo France, he must, consistently with his public dutv, decline giving any answer "— Mr. Wliit- brc- xl said on this occasion, " If ally Ihine occurred lo di- minish my confidence in 11 iuisicis, I might be justified ill E- v opposition lo the present motion ; but instead of any / ting bavin ® occurred to diminish il, the adoption this night bv the noble Lord ( Castlereagli) of the splendid Declaration, dated at Frankfort, December the lst, in- creased ibat confidence— Taking this Manifesto as my guide, I hope that peace is already achieved; but if peace is not yet conquered, there is uot a mail in this House or in tbe country who will nut concur iu the further conquests which may be necessary lo procure it. Throwing on his Majesty's Ministers the responsibility of the confidence which they demand, nnd in Ihe spiiit uf confidence, I concur heartily in llie Motion of Adjournment." Mails from Cadiz, Lisbon and Curiinna, arrived yesterday. At Cadiz, a report prevailed before the packet sailed, of Sir Edward I'rllew having taken four sail of the'i'onlim fleet The French Admiral's account ofhis action wilh our fleet, induced ns to suspect, that Ibe enemy had been severely handled ; but no account ofthe capture offour sail of Ihe line has reached the Admiralty. The Prague Gazette, after communicating the Senatus Consultum of the 26th of November, adds the following reflections :— " If the new levy of 300,000 men be, as there is no reason to doubt, exclusive of thai of -> S", 000 men, ordered by the decree of Ibe ulli of ctober last, the total number of men raised in France, during Hie year 1HI3 alone, amounts lo 1,140,000, of whom one- half at least bar been annihilated, dispersed, or taken prisoners— in short, lost to France. " The French nation can hardly be plunged into such blindness, or reduced to such slavery, as not to ask on all sides. Why these immense preparations? Where is Ihe im- ininei I < 1 an : er that renders necessary such measures of defence! Dovs a spirit of madness, or the inania of con- quest, possess all the Sovereigns leagued against us, as well as the nations whom they govern? Or wish they to take vengeance upon us for all liie mischief which we have been compelled lo do them? In short, must we shed Ibe re- mainder of our blood, and expose ourselves to lose our last strength, in order to ward off a destructive peace, which would bring along wit Ii it our dishonour anil rniti ? " But all people of sense throughout lhat monarchy would auswei uuauimoush— there is not the least founda- tion for all this. Our self- sliled enemies, who are not so in reality, have taken up arms not to oppress, despoil, or tyrannise over others;— tbey tight for iheir own indepen- dence, which it is their graijd object lo recover. What possible motive could induce them despicably to renounce their own principles, and expose their own enterprise to danger, by seeking lo domineer over iheir neighbours? Vengeance is as little Ihe motive which animates them. Have we nol been their companions in misfortune? Did not the vexatious, the calamities which every where fol- lowed our steps, press with double weight on ourselves? Ami do we uot participate their wishes for deliverance aud tranquillity, though we cannot manifest tlieni in the same manner? Thus Ihe only consideration which could justify the sacrifices at this moment demanded of us, and the danger of total ruin to w hich we are expused, would be, that the I'eace proposed to us must bring wilh it still greater calamities— must compromise the national honour, aud destioy our welfare and security. " The last of these blessings is for ever guaranteed to us by our own strength— by the means of defence fin nisbeil us both by nature and art— by our uatiu al spirit, and our military means Our safety lias not been seriously en- dangered at any time; hut it cannot be augmented by con- quests- by distant possessions— nor by extendiug despotic Siv: iy over foreign nations Such pretended advantages, by producing endless ware, can' only harass, weaken aud ex liaust us— The moment France shall re- enter her true limits, slut will become strong & unassailable ; the internal slrengl h of uo State in Europe will exceed her's ; aud no aitack will place '.. IT in danger. " Our welfare is sufficiently secured by our geographical situation— by the extent and fertility uf our country— by our industry, our arts, and the perfection of our social in- stitutions It has been severely shaken by along succession of wais, undertaken from caprice, ruinous iu themselves, and useless tous. But a peace, whatever it may lie, provided it renew the ancient relations of commerce aud friendship which united us to our neighbours, thai it open anew tbe seas to our commerce, and restore to the industry aud in- genuity of our natioii Us ancient stimulus, will soon in the bosom of reviving prospeiily, even under au ordinary ad- ministration, make us forget our false grandeur, as well as tbe real misfortune with which il was accompanied. " As to our national honour, it cannot be impaired hy a peace » hich shall only set bounds to our injustice If our military honour only consists in our alone gaining battles in Europe, in never suffering anv military glory but our own, aud iu never b ing beaten, il has long been lost beyond redemption. Should we. even gain as many new victories as in times past, the opinion of onr invincibility exists no longer Nothing can efface our defeats iu Spain ; our rctreals from Russia aud Geimtny; the battles of Sala- manca and Vittoria, ofSniolei sk and of Leipsic; bul uu political arrangement can deprive us of what is truly solid and indisputable in our military glory. " Such, doubtless, must he the language of all just and enlightened men in France Is the Emperor Napoleon alone, then, to be allowed to place his glory in the misery of the world, and the submission of all neighbouring States to his will-? He says, ' lhat a dishonoured throne, aud a crown without gloiy, would be lo him insupportable.' By what right does he wish lo escape that imaginary liumili at ion, by pioiouging a stale of I bin gs which tends to degrade all the Thrones and all the Crowns in Europe? What rig tit has he to think himself humbled and degraded, by only lining compelled to renounce the power of disgracing, humbling, and destruying, all that surrounds him?"

A Cossack intercepted a French Officer, stripped liiin of his coat, and, in trying how it would fit, found some difficulty iu getting it cither off or on; the Parle? rons, lakiug advantage of his perplexity, leaped oil his horse, and bid him lion jour. The Cussatk only smiled at this, had recourse lo his whistle, and had the Monsieur back in a twinkling, when, in addition to bidding him good day, he gave him rather an unwelcome salute with his spear.

Paris papers lo the 21st were received yesterday.. They contain the following Speech of Ihe French Ruler, al the opening uf the Legislative Body. It contains one simple fact, " that ncgociatioils liave been catered into will, the allied Powers; and lhat be bus adhered to the preliminary basis which they hare presented.'" All the real is obscure, entangled, false, ( or arrogant— intended to impose upon ihe French people— meant to gratify his own inordinate vanity.— calcu- lated to disguise llie stale of his fortunes— designed lo work up the passions of his slaves to new sacrifices— and offering a premeditated insult lo Great Britain. Paris, Dec. 19— To- day ( Sunday Ihe 19th) his Majesty the Emperor and King set oft at one o'clock from thePalace of the Thuilleries, to repair in state to ihe Legislative Body, where having been received wilh I lie usual ceremonies, bis Majesty, after takinghis seat, made tlie following speech " Senators. Counsellors of State, Deputies from the Depart- ments lo the legislative Body:— Splendid victories haye raised the glury ofthe French arms during this campaign; de- fections without parallel have rendered these victories use- less; all has turned against us. France itself would be in danger, but for the union and energy of the French— In these weighty circumstances, it was my first thought lo call you arouiid tne My heart has need of the presence and ofthe affection of my subjects.— I have never been seduced by prosperity; adversity would always And me superior to its attacks. I have several times given peace to nations, when they bad lost every thing From a part of my conquests, I have raised thrones for Kings, who have forsaken me.— I have conceived and executed great designs for the pros perity and the happiness of the world! A Monarch and a Father, I feci lhat Peace adds to the security of thrones and that of families. " Negociations have been entered into with tlie allied Powers; I have adhered to the preliminary basis which they have presented ; 1 had then ihe hope that before the opening of this Ses- sion, Ihe Congress of Maiiheim would be assembled , but new delays, which are not to lie ascribed to France, have de- ferred this moment, whicb the wishes iif the world eagerly call for - 1 have ordered to be laid before you all the original documents which are in Ihe, portcftuilleni my department of foreign affairs. You w ill make yourselves acquainted with tin in hy means of a Committee. The Speakers ( Orators) of my Council will acquaint you with my will on this subject— Oil my side there is uo obstacle lo the re- establishment of Peace.— I know and partake all the sentiments of the French ; 1 say of llie French, because there is not one of them who would desire Peace at tbe price of honour— It is wilh regret that I ask of Ibis generous people new sacri- fices ; but they are commanded by ils noblest and dearesl interests.— It was necessary to recruit my armies by numer- ouslevies ; nations Cannot treat with security, except by displaying tbeii whole strength ; and an increase of taxes be conies indispensable. What my Minister of the Finances will propose to you, is conformable to Ihe system of finance which 1 have established. We shall meet every cb mand without a loan, which consumes the future, and without paper money, w hich is the grealesl enemy of social order. — 1 am satisfied with the sentiments which my people of Italy have testified towards me on this occasion — Denmark and Naples alone have remained faithful lo Iheir alliance with me — The Republic of Ihe United States of America continues with success ils war with England. 1 have recognised the neutrality of the 19 Swiss Cantons. Senators, Counsellors of State, Deputies from the Depart- ments to the Legislative Body.— You are the natural organs of the Throne— it is for " you to give an example of energy whic h may recommend our generation lo Hie generations to come. Let them not say of us—' They have sacrificed the best interests of Iheir country— they have acknowledged the laws which England lias 111 vain sought, during four centuries, lo impose on France!'— My people cannot fear that the policy of their Emperor will ever betray the na- tional glory— Ou my side 1 feel the cuufidence that the French will he constantly worthy of themselves and of me." Bonaparte, throughout tbe whole of his life, is dread- fully uniform and consistent. When he was brooding over the most extensive plans of carnage, he affected humanity ; whilst he was meditating some deep scheme of perfidy, he spoke of his magnanimity or candour; and wheu all his mind was absorbed in a project of vengeance, or aggrandise- ment, sentiments of moderation invariably preceded its execution. In the present document, llie wonis humanity, moderation, magnanimity, are blazoned forth ; and we fear to attach faith to such general assertions. When we catch with rapture at the faintest promise of Peace— of a slate of repose after such unparalleled calamities, experience checks and embitters our pleasure, and we fearfully ask, Can Ihe professions of sucb a man he. trusted? Will this Peace, shuuld it he concluded, he durable? Will it be met by the enemy with sincerity? Will il beany more than a hollow truce ? Is it only a wily expedient, adopted by the enemy to extricate himself from the heavy and intricate embarrassments of bis present situation ? These paiul'nl suggestions reluctantly intrude themselves to dash our hopes of durable reconciliation lo Ihe ground ; and we can- nut remove " the troublesome idea that, under the guise of Peace, may be concealed the project of renewing the war at a more convenient opportunity, and with more powerful effect. Let us however, take another view of the question. Bona- parte has beeu compelled to submit to the conditions pro- posed by his opponents. They have carried their point w ilh a high hand — they have dictated the terms at the point of Ihe sword— they rec- vcr all their former possessions— Ihe ancient order of things w ill be, as nearly as possible, re established. They terminate the contcst with splendid reputation. France, on Ihe contrary, renounces the con- flict under the most unfavourable ciicnmstances; and, in negnciating in tbe m-. dsl of overwhelming reverses, con- fesses lo Ihe world her inferiority— makes a public avowal of lier irretrievable losses— and sins against one ofthe first laws of political wisdom, which imperiously orders, to make no peace in 11 moment of calamity. At such a period, pacific arrangements arc, in fact, no more than capitulation. Let the enemy disguise it as he will, he surrenders all his obnoxious pretensiuns, and sinks at once upon an ordinary level. Under such appearances peace with the French Ruler loses part of its frightful aspect. He may trouble Europe hereafter, but he can never intimidate, never en- danger her existence His slightest movement will be jealously watched ; liis minutest intrigue detected, and his approaches lo intimacy received with cold suspicion. A numherufstrongand vigilant States will be formed upon bis frontiers, wbo had suffered dreadfully from bis ambition— who had Owed their sufferings likewise to want of energy and foresight— who will he incessantly haunted by lliat re- collection— and who consider every movement made hy tbe enemy as indicative uf a design " lo renew his hostile at- tempts against their integrity and independence. Lord Castlereagh sets off for the Continent 011 Monday, accompanied by the Hon. Mr Robinson. As yel little has transpired relative lo Ihe causes that have induced oue ut the Members of t he Cabinet lo undertake such a mission.— We are sure they must be imperious, and we may suspect lhat they have occurred unexpectedly. This increased ac- tivity iu our Cabinet has been chiefly remarked since the arrival ofa foreign officer in the Russian service— General Pozzn de Borgho. He is reported to have been sent with explanations of Ihe views, policy, and intentions of the on the Stelgnilz, which in the preceding French Papers . river to a convoy laden with provisions: a small flotilla of were termed impregnable.— The Ciowil Prince appears lo | triiikadours ( small armed launches) having proceeded from have carried them by masterly demonstrations, and with trifling loss of blcoci. On tbe 5tli, nt ten at night, the Allies occupied Lubeck by a species of capitulation, after Bayonne, fired grape- shot upon the enemy, and enabled the convoy to proceed. Never was Ibe army of the Em- peror better disposed ; and wilhuut calculating the number they had got tbe scaling ladders ready, and made other ofthe enemy, they do not fear engaging in general affairs. • • • • The Bulletin concludes 1 The enemy, depending les: preparations to take it by storm with the following impressive passages :—" The inhabitants of Lubeck were determined to second, by means more efficacious I ban mere wishes, Ihe efforts of llie army which came to restore lo theni their name, their lights, and independence; they were ready to join llieiraruis lo those of the assailants. This brave restitution is an appeal lo Ihe inhabitants of Hamburgh— l. ubeck now resumes ils ancient denomination of a Free and Hanseatic City ; the flag of civilization and of commerce again waves 011 its walls.

Captain Owen having landed on Sorith Bevelnnd with Ihe marines, I enclose for their lordships' informa- tion his account of the manner in which he was received by the inhabitants. Ter Goes, in South Beveland, Dec. 17. SIR— T proceeded with tbe earliest light this morning with the parties of the Royal Marines you did me tbe honour to place under me, and landed al ihe entrance of the Haven, about three miles from Ter Goes. The pea sants flocked to me from every quarter; the flag of the Dutch nation appeared borne by crowds on every side, and our march to Goes was covered by tbe multitude of these flags which gathered round us, whilst theory of Orange lloven resounded 011 every side. The scene was the most animating and tbe most interesting that I ever witnessed ; the proclamation of his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange was read, as well as one from tbe Magistrates, from the windows of the Sfadt House, anil was followed by the most enthusiastic cheers and acclamations. The in- tention of the enemy in the requisition he had had ordered for the garris 11 of Flushing has been defeated, and the Dutch flag is flying upon every steeple near the western shore. The conduct of the parties of the Royal Marines, in the midst of this intoxicating scene, and the kindness showered npun them by the inhabitants, has been marked with regularity. I have the honour to be, & c. ( Signed) G. W. C. R. OWEN, Captain of H. M. S. Cornwall. Admiral Young, Impregnable, in the Boompot, Dec. 30, 1813. I request you to inform the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, thai Captain Owen reports, that he was on the 18th at Borselen, in South Beveland. Information having reached him, that the enemy were actually levying at Ivrab- bendvke the supplies for Batz, for which requisition had been made, be seut Major Bartlcman to interrupt them, and bis men cut off their knapsacks, and pursued the enemy, but did not arrive in time. Captain Owen found at Borselen two capital batteries, one often guns, and two brass mortars; the other of six or eight guns, and Iwo mortars. All the guns weHispike- d -, lie ordered two of them to he cleared, proposing lo occupy with a small detachment the tower of Borselen, where there is a tolerable barrack, and to land 11 small quantity of powder to interrupt a little the enemy's communication by tbe river. Captain Owc- n found, 011 his arrival at Goes, that the Dutch had already formed there three companies of national guards, the officers of which have strictly adhered to Captain Owen's wishes in every thing, and attended him for Ibe purpose of organizing six troops of cavalry, of sixtv men each, and six companies of infantry, of 1110 each. Of the former force much is already arranged, the inhabitants eagerly offering themselves ami tbeir horses. Large parties are on duty, nnd palroles and guards are established on the roads and principal points of the shore Information having been brought to me yesterday evening, of the enemy having landed a force of 500 men at Boiselen, I sent immediately lo reinforce Captain Owen ; but I have not to- day had any report from SouthBeveland. I have no doubt of someFrench having landed, though I think it probable the number of them was increased by tbe apprehensions of tbe people who sent the report. 1 have tbe honour to be, & c. ( Signed) W. YOUNG. Impregnable, in the Boompot, Dec. 21, 1813 I request von 10 inform tbe Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that Captain Owen reports that the French corps, which landed al Borselen, was immediately repuls- ed ; all fbe inhabitants flew to arms, and every person who could find a weapon of any description, joined Ihe small partv of Royal Marines who were near Borselen, and marched against the enemy, who embarked as soon as he discoveied iheir approach.

Two Heligoland Mails have arrived, bringing advices from Hamburgh to the 131b, and from Ihe Island tothe ltith instant. The French were very actively employed in strengthening and extending Ihe fortifications of ihe for. mer; it was nearly surrounded by the Cossacks, and the Russians having declined entering AItona, il was naturally conjectured thai some negocialiun was in progress w ith the Daues, which led lo this mark of indulgence and respect from the Commander. H is stated that an embargo had been imposed in all Ihe porta of Holstein. The French had offered for sale a quantity of the bullion they had plun- dered from the Bank of Hamburgh, at 30 per' cent, below its value.

In the absence of real intelligence of every description, rumour has not been wanting to supply the defect. We do not think it worth our while to notice all the flimsy and ridiculous reports which have found their way into The Gazette also contains an account of the follow- ing captures :— Ihe Audacieaux, French privateer ; La Hevenant, French privateer; Danish cutter Abigail; and four American privateers. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2.",. Yesterday, Government had accounts from General Don, and the following communication of their con- tents was circulated :— " We understand that Geneva! Hill has pushed a corps over the Ail. tur ; and it is reported that Lord Wellington's position 011 the 13th inst was such as to render it extremely difficult for Soult to make good his retreat to Bayonne. " General Don, at Guernsey, has received a letter from an officer at Passages, dated the llth, which. states, that on the day before three regiments, 3,000 strong, had eoine over from the enemy, stipulating to he sent to Germany; and that Lord Wellington had surrounded Bayonne, and that all supplies by the river. to the town were cut off." A vessel from the river of St. Jean de l. nz has also reached VVaterford, tlie Captain of which states, that there were engagements on the 9th, when Lord Wellington passed the Nive; on the loth, with little change of posi- tion ; ar. d on the I lib ; but of the last, he can say only, that tl. e firing was vigorous, for he sailed on that day.— A letter received a few days ago, stated that actions had been fouglit tattyrs . - I'. ttT. I Allies; aud tu prevent the delay incidental to written com- j on/ our days; and Freuch papers to fbe 21st. since received, • - • - . . , say the same thing, giving a narrative, such as it is, of an engagement 011 the 13th, which appears to have been more considerable than either of the preceding. These papers, of course, claim 1 he victurv for their own army; unless Ihey had intended to do lhat, tbey would have been silent upon the subject— They pretend lo liavc taken 300 En- glish prisoners, including several officers ; hut of these officers they do not give one name. There can scarcely he a doubt, that Lord Wellington has gained a complete vic- tory. Some accounts say,' lhat the foreign troops, who joined Lord Wellington consisted of four Dutch and two German regiments. Paris Papers to Lhe 23d, ^ hich have just been re- ceived, contain the following paragraph :— u Bourdeaux. y Dec 16 -— Letters from Bayonne ofthe 14th, gives fresh iletai's respecting Ihe combats which took place in the environs of that town On tlie 13th, Count D'Erlon made, between t he iNive and the. Adour, a very brisk attack. The enemy was rapidly repulsed ton very elevated plateau, which intersects the road from St Jean Piedde Port. They fought for nine hours between those two rivers: our troops evinced at » heroic courage, and carried hy main force a con- siderable redoubt. The young co- iscripts conducted them- selves excellently The English aud Portuguese have suf- fered much : a division of the former was broken. Letters from St. Jean tie Luz say, that the ehemy^ s loss ii immense ; and that he has had nearly iG, ooo men killed <> r wounded flu- ring. the last live days On the i4lh, the two armies oh st ryed each oiher. The Duke of Palmatia was occupied ij* m. v'ifDivering upon the banks of the Adorn*. Some days ago, the English attempted to oppose the passage of that munications bv couriers, Lord Castlereagli proceeds in person to Frankfort, to give, on the spot, direct, immediate aud unreserved explanation, of the principles and objects of the British Cabinet. It is generally understood, that whether a Congress be held or not, there is not to be any Armistice, and that military operations are to be carried on with vigour. The passage of the Rhine at Basle is expected. It is understood that Bonaparte lias, in his correspon- dence with the Allies, agreed to recognise the independence of Holland and Spain, and to abstain from any farther attempts to assume a preponderating influence in Germany, but that he has rejected the proposals made as to Italy, which he is sairl to have replaced by a con/ re projet, for placing the crown of Italy on the head of Beauharnois, triving Venice to Austria, Naples to Murat, Rome tc the Pope, and keeping Tuscany, Genoa, Parma, Placentia, Piedmont, Savoy, and ihe Valais, to himself. The Chesterfield cutter, Capt. Wood, is arrived at Wey- mouth, w ith passengers from G ucrnsey and Jersey, bringing the pleasing intelligence that Gen. Don had received dispatches from Sir CJ Coll. it r, stating that four Dutch and two German regiments had deserted ^ onlr, and joined the Marquis of Wellington — Other letters from Guernsey, received by eminent commercial houses, state, that Lord Wellington had totally defeated Soult, after three days fighting, aud driven the remains oft he beaten force towards Honrdeaux, on which place he was rapidly advancing, having left 10,000 men to masque Bayonne. The Twenty- eighth Bulletin of the Crown arrived, but we have not room for the whole Lubeck, ( he 6th. On the 2d, 3d, and 4th; Prince has It is dated the Crown Prince dislodged the enemy frvnn his formidable positions Prince of Sweden had refused to make Peace with Bonaparte." Two Mails from GoUenburgh have arrived, and have brought letters of ihe J6! h and 17th instant from thence, bul which, in consequence of ( he more ready channel of information from the Continent through Holland aud Heligoland, do not furnish any intelligence which has not been anticipated. We have, however, a few letters from Carlsham, of the Pith inst. which communicate the following :—" Since my advice* by- last post, the convoy has sailed for Gottenburgh, taking ouly Swedish ships under their protection. This is an unaccountable circumstance. My hist letters from Stockholm even mention, lhat some orders had been sent to Carlscrona for the convoy to give protection to all foreign vessels." Dutch papers arrived last night to the 22( 1 instant. They contain little or no matter of novel interest. They are indeed to an astonishing degree destitute of intelligence of moment; and this rather surprises us, considering the interesting state of the country. How- ever, it is some satisfaction to know that affairs con- tinue lo proceed favourably ; though we should wish to hear more instances of that generous enthusiasm which renovated liberty is so supremely calculaled to inspire. In their situation we should expeet to see every man in the country, capable of bearing arms, enlisting for its defence." The Hereditary Prince of Orange landed at Helvoetsluys on the 19lh, and was received with great demonstrations of joy, It is now ascertained that Heusden, Loevenstein, Workum, Crevieseur, and St. Andrew, are occupied by the Al- lies ; aud the enemy have been dislodged from their positions on Ihc Waal. No mention is made of the surrender of the Texel fleet; and we fear that Ant- werp is secured against a coup de main. Nova Scotia papers were received this morning to Ihe 2d instant, anil Boston to the ISIh. It appears that the American General Wilkinson had passed the St. Lawrence, and was marching with a force of from 6 to 10,000 men against Montreal. The American papers speculate upon his spending the Christmas near Quebec. The following are extracts: Albany, Nov. 9,— General Wilkinson's army having heen reinforced, Col. Scott's detachment left Grenadier Island on the 31st ult. anil began its movement down the St. Lawrence and passed many miles below King- slon; it is now certain that Montreal is his object. General Hampton has probably effected his junction. Boston,\ Nov. tn.— Numerous letters concur in the fact that the army under Gen. Wilkinson had descended the St. Lawrence 60 miles, and had passed Fort Prevost, on the British side. The force of that army is from 6 to 10,000 men. The Burlington letters state that much joy prevailed on finding the long lost Wilkinson ; that he was pulling away at great speed for Montreal, and that a few days will do the business; it is stated that his loss in passing the Fort Prevost was only two killed and three wounded. The Hon. Captain Aylmer, of the Pactolus frigate, arrived to day at the Admiralty with dispatches, an- nouncing the arrival of His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and Count Minister, and their respec- tive suites, in Holland, oil their way to Hanover. The dispatches were forwarded directly to the Prince Re- gent at Carlton House.— This morning, Heald, the Ad- miralty messenger, was sent express to Harwich with d spalches of importance. Five hundred of the Guards ( lliose wbo have re- cently volunteered from the Militia) will set off to- morrow on their way to join Sir Thomas Graham in Holland. We just hear from the West End of the town, that Lord Castlereagh has taken his departure for Harwich, on his way to the Head- quarters of the Allies. His Lordship is accompanied by the Hon. F. Robinson, Mr. Planta, and Mr. Ward, of the Foreign office, and Messrs. Williams and Ruff, the Messengers. The new Omnium has experienced various fluctua- tions to- day ; the cause assigned was the report we have alluded to— the Crown Prince of Sweden refusing to make peace with Bonaparte. The greatest price was 15, and il left off at 14$. Yesterday morning, about 11 o'clock, two Messen- gers arrived at the Foreign Office, with dispatches from the Earl of Aberdeen, Sir C. Stewart, and the Earl of Clancarty. One of them is an attendant on the Earl of Aberdeen, and left Frankfort on the l- lth inst. He came by the Hague, and is the first Messenger who came that way since the counter- revolution. Sir C, Stewart left Frankfort on the 14th inst. for Lauenbourg, the head- quarters of the Crown Prince ; and the Earl of Aberdeen left the same place on the ISIh inst. to follow the Emperor of Germany.— The contents of the dispatches were soon after laid before the Prince Regent, by Lord Castlereagh.

On Christmas- Day the poor boys who have shared the bounty of Mr. Webb, attended, by his desire, at St. Julian's church in this town. Pievious to the commencement of divine service, 25 boys who have been put out apprentices, received each a Bilde, Prayer- book, and Manual of private Devotions, at the expense of that benevolent gentleman, from the hands ofthe Rev. Hugh Owen, accompanied with a suitable exhortation to piety, diligence, and a grateful sense of their patron's kindness. Each of the bo\ s also received a donation in money from the trustees of Mr. Webb, making ( the value of ihe bibles, & c. included) a total of £ 25,— His committee have also distributed £ 16 amon< r the poor, to purchase coal, & e. On Monday last was rung, by the Union Society, oil Ihe musical hells at St. Chad's in this town, a true and complete peal of Oxford Treble Bob Maximus, con- taining 50H8 changes, being a selection of the most harmonious courses; which was performed in 3 hours, 50 minutes, and the first peal in lhat intricate system ever rung on those twelve hells. Llanfyllin, Montgomery shire.— At no place has a patriotic exultation on account of the late glorious events been manifested in a more splendid manner than in Ibis little town. When the news arrived of the splendid vic- tories, gained by our arms in the hard- fought battles of the Pyrennees, the bells were rung throughout the day and al night there was a bonfire, al which two sheep were' roasted, which, wilh a proportionate allowance of Cterioda, were distributed amongst the populace Similar rejoicings took place upon receipt ofthe intelligence ofthe great bat- tle of Leipsic, and ot the liberation of Holland. And about a month ago, when twenty- three Dutch officer* ftiei longing to the ff'e. wr and Trance frigates) arrived in lliin town on their parole, a subscription was immediately set ou foot, by means of which they were regaled with a good substantial dinner, and abundance of ale and punch. In the course of the evening tbey drank the most patriotic toasts, nnd sang several national airs; and il is difficult to say, whether Iheir exultation in the deliverance of their long- enslaved country, or their abhorrence of Ihe author of that slavery, was most conspicuous Their repeated cries of " Orange boven," joined ti) the peals of bells, u hie h lasted throughout the evening, must have been not a little grating to the ears of the French officers, now on their parole in Ihe town. We should also add, tbat tliev enter- tained a proper sense of the reception they met with lieie, as well ns at other towns in tbeir way to this place ; and we cannot help expressing onr surprise, lh « t thev are still detained as prisoners of war, instead of'being allowed to contribute their aid towards their country's final eman- cipat ion. At a meeting ofthe Nobility, Gentry, and Free- holders of the county of Denbigh, on Tuesday the 21st inst. an Address was voted to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent oil the present happy state of public affairs ; and on Saturday next a meeting of the county of Flint will take place at Mold, for the same purpose.

T1 e windows of many neighbouring houses were much shattered ; and tiie landlady of the Britannia Inn has since died wilh the fright. I. lie cause of this calamity has not been satisfactorily ascertained ; had the explo- sion taken place a few hours later, one consequence, in ali probability, would have been, the loss of many lives from Ihe falling of the scatlcicd fragments; and had the oils, tar, pitch. Sic. in the warehouse taken fire, the conflagration must have b. en much more extensive and dreadful. The amonnt of damage is reported to be from .'! to 400.'. but we are happy to find the whole of the property v as insured.

Campbell, eldest son of Lord Cawdor, was retnrned without opposition, J. . lones, Esq. of Ystiad, the other candidate, having relinquished ihe contest on Saturday. A few days ago, Lieutenant- Colonel Buckworlh, assembled Ihe 11 oyal Cheshire Militia in the Town- hall, Lichfield, for Ihe purpose of reading and explaining the volunteer act, and militia extension bill— He after- ward!, in a most animate:!, patriotic, and pathetic speech, addressed the regiment. The gailant Colonel raid, the first thing he should cull their attention to was, their volunteering into the regular army ; if they adopted this plan, they would soon he led lo victory by the Marquis Wellington, a General who h < 1 conquered • wherever he had fought— at Vimiera, at Talavera, at Busaco, Salamanca, Viltoria, Ronresvcllas, and lastly in the territory ot France, had beaten her best troops, commanded hy her ablest generals.— But, soldiers, your volunteering is to be your own act and deed ; no influence is to be used. With regard to the militia extension bill, he said the present conjuncture called forth the energy of the nation; one object, and one only, - ere we fighting for, that was, to give peace to the world, a lasting peace— a peace honourable to England, To ensure complete success, the nation had called for the extended services of the militia ; and soldiers, said he, I have long commanded you, I have often told you on former occasions, when your extended services have been asked for, that if I could accompany you with my rank, 1 shomd be proud to do so. Now, if you second the wishes of the nation, by attending to this call ou your patriotism, 1 shall feel happy in commanding you in any part of Europe, 1 do not ask. it oi you as a favour for myself, hut tor my country.— This address was received with three cheers, the officers in a body offered their services, and the enrolment of the men immediately commenced. rUt- FORD ESTATE— CHESHIRE.

Dispatches, of which tbe following are copies and extracts. have been Ibis day received by Earl Bathurst, from Sir G. 1' revolt, Bart. Hen /- Quarters, Montreal, Oct. 30. MY I/ iRti, On tbe 8th inst. 1 had the honour to report to your Lordship, that Gen. Hampton had occupied, with a considerable force of regulais and militia, a position on the Ciifitcauguay Fiver, nearlhe settlement of the Four Corners. Early on the Cist the AYncrican army crossed the line of separation between lower ' Canada and the United States, surmised a sniall patty of Indian fraYriorS, aud drove iu a picquet of sedentaiy militia, posted at the junction oT the Outard and Chati atlguay Itivers, Where It ' encamped, aiid proceeded in establishing a road of coftimunic. atinn with its last position, for ( be purpose of bringing forward its artillery. Cien. Hampton having completed liis arrangements on the 2- ltli, commenced on the following day his operations against iny advanced posts: at about 11 o'clock in the. forenoon of the 26th, his cavalry and light troops were discovered advancing on both banks of the Chateauguav, by a detach ment covering a working party of habitans employed in felling timber, for the purpose of constructing abbatis. Lieut Col. De Sa'aberry, who bad the command of the advanced piquets, composed of the light itifantrv company of the Canadian Fencibles, and two companies of Voltigeurs, on the north side of Ibe river, made so excellent a disposition of Ins little band, that h « checked the advance of the enemy's principal column, led by Major Gen. Hampton in person, and accompanied by Brigadier Gen. Itard j whilst the American light, brigade, under Col M'Carty, was in like manner repulsed in its progress on Ihe south side ofthe river, bv( the spirited advance of the light flank company of Hie' tlirrd battalion of the embodied militia, under Capt. Daly, suppos- ed by Cant. Biuyer's company of Chateaugtiay chasseurs; Captains Dalv and Brnyeis being both wounded, and their companies having sustained some loss, their position was immediately taken up by a flank company of the first battalion of embodied militia; the enemy rallied and repeat- edly returned to Ihe attack which teiminated only with the day, in his complete disgrace and defeat; being foiled af all points by a handful of men, nho by their determined bravery maintained their position, and screened from insult the. ivoi king parties, who continued their labours unconcerned Having fortunately airivedat the scene of action shortly after its commencement, I witnessed the conduct of the troops on this glorious occasion, and it was a great satisfac- tion to me to render on Ihe spot that praise which had become so justly th; ir due. I thanked Major- Gen. De Watteville for tbe wise measures taken by him for the defence of his position, the advance; and Lieut,- Col. De Salaberry, for tbe judgment di played by him in tiie choice of bis ground, and one the bravery and skill with which he maintained it; I knowlcdged the highest praise to belone to the Officers and men engaged that morning, for iheir gallantry and steadiness; and 1 called u; iou ail the troops in advance for a continuance of that zeal, steadiness, and discipline, and for tbat pa'ien endurance of hardships and privations which they hav hitherto evinced, and 1 particularly noticed the able suppor Lieut- Col. De Salaberry received from Capt Ferguson, i eomtU'ind of the light company ofthe Canadian Fenciblei nnd firm: Capt. J. B Diichestiay and Capt. J. Duclus'iay and Adjutant Hcbden, of the valttgeuis, and also from Adjutant O'Ruliivan, of the Sedentary Militia, aod from Captain I. a Motte, belonging to the Indian Wairiors. Almost the wtiule of tbe British troops being pushed forward for lite defence of Upper Canada, that of the lowi province, must depend, in a prfnt degree, on the valour and continued exertions of its incorporated battalions and its sedentary miliiia, until tbe *! 0th regiment and the two biitiali ins of maiines, daily expected, arrive. It is, therefore highly satisfactory to state to vc. ur Lord « liip, that tlier appears a determination among all classes of his Majesty'! Canadian subjects, to persevere in a loyal and honourable line of conduct. By the report of prisoners taken from the enemy iu th affair on the Chateauguay, the American lorce is slated at • 7000 infantry snd 200 cavalry, with 10 field- pieces. The British advanced force, actually engaged, did not exceed 1500 The enemy suffered severely from our fite, and from their own; some detached coips iu the woods fired upou each other. I have the honour to transmit to youi Lordship, a return of the kille d and wounded on the 2lilh I avail myself of this opportunity, humbly to solicit from his Royal Highness tbe Piiuce Regent, as a inaik of his gracious approbation of the conduct of the embodied battalion of the Canadian militia, five pair of colours for the Hi, 2d, 3d, 4th, and 5th battalions — 1 have the honour to be, & e.

Sinte I bad the honour of addressing your Lordship ill my dispatch of Ihe 22d of September last, I have received the enclosed communication from Major- Gen. Proctor. I have, however, been infor ned from other quarters, that he com- menced his retreat fiom Sandwich on the 24- th of that mouth, having previously dismantled the posts of Amherst burgh and Detroit, and totally destroyed the public buildings and stoics of every description That on the 5th of October following, when within a few miles of a strong position, which it was his intention lo take up at the Moravian village on the River Thames, lie was attacked by so overwhelming a force, under Major- Gen, Harrison, lltat the small mtmbem be had with him, consisting of not more than 450 regular troops, were unable to withstand it, and consequently compelled to disperse ; that he had afterwards rallied the remainder of his division, and ictired upon Ancaaster, on the Grand River, without being pursued by the enemy, and wheie he had col - lected the scattered remains of his force, amounting to about 200 men, and had with it, subsequently reached the Hurling, ton heights, the head- quarters of Major- General Vincent.— Teoumseth. at the headof 1200 Indian warriors, accompanied our little army on ils retreat from Sandwich, and the Prophet, as well as his brother Tecumseth, were of the most essential service, iu at resting the further progress of the Americans; but as to the extent of our loss on this occasion, or the parti- culars of this disastrous affair, I am, as yet, ignorant ; Major Gen. Proctoi, having signified to Major Gen. De Rottenberg, commanding the Cppei I'tovince*, that he sent a flag of truce to Gi n. Ilalrisou, to ascertain the fate of the Officers and soldiers who were missing, and ri questing liis indulgence for a few days until its return, in order to make his official report. I also understand, that the enemy, so tar from attempting to improve tfie advantage they had gained, by pursuing cur trooj s on their retreat to the Grand River, had retired to Sandwich, followed by Tecumseth aud his warriors, who bad lunch harassed them on their march. Five' ot six hundred Indians, belonging to the eighth division, are reported to have joined the centre. I iegret to say, lhat f am still without any official account of Capt. Barclay's action ou Lake Erie, the result of which has led lo our relinquishment of the Michigan territory, ex- cepting Michilimackanac, aud our abandonment of the posts in Upper Canada, beyond Ihe Grand River. I have the honour, & c. GEORGE PRF. VOST. Exttact of a Report from General I'roclor to Sir G. Prevost, dated Sandwich, September 21. 1 have the honour to acquaint youi Excellency, that the enemy have been reconnoitred at and in the vicinity of the islands, by au Officer of the Indian department, in a birch lanoe, who ly. s seen sereu vessels, some of them large, stand- ing into ( Jurying Bay, situated between those of Sandusky mid Mi.'. iiii, and soon after heard a salute fired uf 15 guns. Hl'ulno discovered, in Put- in Bay, four large vessels, with their lower musts in a gun- boat, came out. and chased Ihe Catioe. We Bitot'ex- pect the enemy soon, with their increased naval force, whii h we, most unfortunately, have not the means of opposing with effect Your Excellency will perceive, that the enemy, hav- ing the command of the waters, would be ahle tn. eut otf- ijiy supplies and my retreat, were I to remain in tnf present ex. tensive position. I have, therefore, determined to fall baCK, and to make a stand on the Thames. 1 have succeeded in bringing the Indians-; 1 am in expectation that the principal part of them will accompany us. Many ate* Arrived at this side of the Straight, with their families. Tie enemy is on the advance, and in vnry considerable force, accompanied by their small vessels and gun. boats. It would be too hazaid- ous lo fight them on the other side, as our retreit mifelit be cut off so easy. MY LORD, planlrcal, October' 31. - I have the honour- to annotgice toujour lordship tbe arrival n the River St. Lawrence . if the tj>]> opsh{[> s, named in the margin*, havingon board the two batfalionsof Rov. pl Marines, and ( he tijo companies of Marine Artillery attached 1. Q them, frotn Halifax, in consequence ofa representation which I had made to Admiral Sir J. B Warred, requiring this reinforce- ment, on account of the disaster that bad befallen our fleet on Lake Erie, and the danger to which the right division of the army in Upper Canada was exposed bv that circumstance. Bv the latest accounts from General De Rottenberg, dated Kingston, on the 26th instant, 1 am informed that he enemy still menaced that post, but no attack had actually taken place. The American Armada, under Gen. Wilkinson aud Com- modore Cbauncey, was at Grenadier Island on the 28th, within 18 miles of Kingston, where it bad collected, after having been dispersed, iu its first attempt fiom Sackett's Harbour to pass over to Kingston. Tbe state of the weather prevented the. attack of General Hampton ou the lower province, and that of Gen. Wilkinson on Kingston, from being simultaneous, as was expected.—• I have reason to hope their enterprise against Kingston will exper; enc » a similar fate to that against Lower Canada.— I have the honour to be, ice. GEORGE PREVOST. * Diadem, Dinmede, Fox, Ntmesis, Success, Mariner. Extract of a letter from Sir G. Prevost, Bart, to Earl Batliurst, dated Montreal, November 4. The loss of our fleet on I « ike Erie, which I had the honour of reporting to your Lordship, in my dispatch of the date of the 22d of September last, together with the increas- ing sickness among the troops of Ihe centre division, aud the diminution of the force in Upper Canada, by the dif- ferent actions which had taken place, induced me to send n Officer express to Halifax, with directions for the em- barkation of the second battalion of marines, and tbe artil- lery company attached to it, which sailing from thence with a fair wind, and being much favoured with the weather, ar- rived in the St. Lawrence at the same time with the other battalion, as I have already had tile honour of reporting to your Lordship. I have now the honour of acquainting your Lordship, that both battalions, together with two companies of artillery and a rocket company, having been disembarked at Quebec, pro ceeded to this place, where part of them have already arrived. I have the satisfaction to report to your Lordship the arrival at Quebec of the Eoltts, with 300 seamen, and my intention of having them immediately forwarded from thcuce in the steaiu-* boai, that I may, if possible, get them to Kingston before the navigation of the river closes. 1 have also received a report of a part of the 10th regiment being ill the St. Lawrence, together with a fleet, having on boaid the remainder, which I cannot but consider as a peculiarly fortunate circumstance. In my former dispatch I communicated to your Lordship the mmement and disposition of the enemy's flotilla and furce, upon their quitting Sackett's Harbour, on the 18th ult. and of their being on Grenadier Island, on Ibe 28th ; I have now to inform you, that on the 29th, a part of this force was sent to Gravelly Point, where it was observed, on the 30th, to be employed in constructing huts; but it is not improbable il may have had some other object iri view, perhaps to proceed down the river, and by landing al Gananoqui, to aid in a combined attack on Kingston, which Major Gen. De Rottenberg still thought on the 30th, the date of his last dispatches, was likely to take place. Gen, Hampton's army has altogether quitted the Lower Province, and from the reports of the different parties hanging on its rear, is retiring to ils former encampment at the Four Corners. 1 am happy to tell your Lordship, that the sickness amongst the troops is diminishing, and the convalescents numerous. The Lake fever has been the most prevalent disorder, and has affected the Officers more than the privates. lilonily placards deface the walls of our houses— uo Spies of the Inquisition listen to our confidential discourses— no French^ Volatility contaminate our morals, or tVj- iiri ns nt the comforts of divine service.

Mails arrived this nurning from Holland, Cadiz, and Corunna. The two latter bring no news. By the Dtitch mail intelligence is received to the 19th ; every thing is going on prosperously in that country ; and the Allies continue to maintain a manifest superiority over the enemy. The Allies are stated to have passed the Rhine al different points; and it is particularly noticed that 3000 Austriaus had crossed llie river at Dusieldorf, and were marching upon Brussels.— Gorcum and Bergcn- op Zoom are said to have fallen into the hands of the Allies. Boinmel and Ileusdeil have been abandoned by the enemy. Sir ' 1". Graham arrived oil the 17th at Staviiies, in the island of Tliolen, and was to proceed without delay to take the command of the British troops, who were collecting at VVilliamstadl. The French, it is reported, mean to burn the shipping at Antwerp should they be compelled to abandon that city. The infamous Verheuil ( as he is called in the Dutch Papers) threatened to burn the Texel fleet, unless he be per- mitled to proceed lo France. We hope the Dutch Government has threatened to hang him, should he j carry his menace into execution. French Papers to the 18th have come to hand. Tliey do not contain the most remote allusion to dis- | lurbauces in that capital; if any had occurred, some i notice of them would certainly have been taken. Of ; the resistance of the French to the tyranny that grinds i them, few hopes can be entertained. They are so politically inert, anil so depraved, that they are the last people upon earth, from whom we should expect sacri- tices in support of great principles. Almost all the men of rank and property are identified in a considerable degree with the present system -- The most interesting article in these Papers is one from Bajonne, of Ihe 12th inst. stating, that a part of the allied army, consisting of four English divisions, and one Portuguese, which were posted before the entrenched camp at Bayonne, were attacked on the 10th. The Allies arc said lo have been dislodged, and compelled to re- cross the Nive, with a loss of 1200 men made prisoners, besides killed anil wounded. On the Iltli, it is now added, that four English regiments attempted to retake the heights, but were repulsed by Col. Boycr, who made 500 prisoners. Lord Wellington's accouut of these affairs will probably tell a different story t and until it arrives, it would be premature to express an opinion on the subject. Bonaparte is said to have issued a Decree, coufis- : eating the Dutch property in the French funds, in con- , sequence of the revolution in Holland. The Moniteurof the 17th contains a long article from j America, entitled a Report of Mr. Macon lo Ihe Con- gress, concerning the conduct which has been observed by the English during the war. The general false colouring which is given to most of the facts stated ill this document, and the language used throughout the whole, demonstrates a spirit of inveterate hostility. The late Dutch papers contain the following inter- esting Proclamation I— < l Independence, liberty, religious srrvice, our native country, and Orange — The Burgomasters of the city of Rotterdam, to the good Citizens of the said ci'y. Woithy fellow Citizens ! Our country is free— tbe chains of a foreign conqueror— a foreigner even among llie French people, over whom he extended his iron yoke, which galled our shoulders, are broken— our country is fiee!— our country, for 19 years past, shaken by revolutions, exhausted by foreigners, and destroyed internally, was at length blotted out of tbe rank of nations. Tbe Hags, under which the heroes of Orange, the Troinps, the De Ruyters, obtained victory on victory, and caused lauds and seas to tremble, are thrown into tbe grave of oblivion ; and our pendants, which waved on the Indus and Ganges, are no more. The God of our forefathers said, I, et there be light, and there was light, the full day has broke— the nation flies to arms, and the heroic descendant of Orange, called hy the voice of the whole nation to our shore, wetted with the blood of his and our ancestors, is callcd by the united voice of the sons of Civilis, to our assistance, and the nation has proved itself worthy of him. Now no foreigner shall rei^ n over us— no strangers devour our property— no Austrian State Paper.- - The following interesting document contains the Austrian comment upon the answer of Bonaparte to the President of the Senate, as the Stale Paper vfe gave in our last, expressed Ibe sen- timents of all the combined Powers. This Paper was published in the Prague Gazette of the 1st, and has singular claims upon our attention, emanating as it does from a source - where the incurable admirers of Bona- parte boldly asserled a lurking attachment to exist. The sentiments which refer personally to him are written with studied harshness, and contain another proof, if one were necessary, of the total alienation of tbe Em- peror Francis from his worthless son- in- law. " At one of the most critical moments in which France ever found herself placed— at a moment when the very Orators of the Senate speak only of terrible dangers— ol unexampled treasons— and of capitulations in tbe shape ol proposals for peace— who could, without astonishment, hear the Emperor Napoleon, instead of communicating informa tion with regard to the past, or reasons calculated to tran- quillise with regard to the future, satisfy himself by replying with appaient coolness, ' that such is the state of affairs— that the preceding year all Europe fought on his side— that now all Europe fought against him— that the opinion of the world was decided at one time by France, at another by England.' Had an indolent spectator of the political events of the world, or some pitiful Journalist, employed common- places so devoid of al! meaning, nobody would have paid any attention to it; but never, perhaps, did any thing more offensive issue from the mouth of a Sovereign who commands so many millions of men. To what a point must not the French nation be degraded, if this stubborn mode of pronouncing upon its destiny, if this stoical indifference to its misfortunes, be iu capable of humbling and afflicting it!— With regard to us, who have, thank Heaven, still an opinion, and who dare to express it, we have read with pleasure, the confession contained in these expressions of tbe Emperor. If the opin- ion of the world is no longer decided by France— that is, by him in the name ot France, and disavowed by France, has wished that his will and opinion should be tbe world's law— then we shall not have fought and conquered in vain. But this pietended oracular response is uot borne out by facts, and canoot be exalted into a political axiom The benefits which we have received from England are incalculable.— England prepared tbe glorious events now passing in Europe; she has facilitated their execution, and contri- buted to them in a high proportion. England, as having been the lever and main spring of these grand political revolutions, will hold a distinguished place in history, as long as future ages shall preserve any memorial of the events of our time. But it is false ( and Eu jftnd herself will protest against the lying assertion), that that power prepared the grand struggle which is now making for the Independence of all States, aud of all Nations. It was the Continental Powers who immediately gave it the first impulse.— Russia, Austria, and Prussia decided of themselves, and concerted of them- selves ; and the other powers, who joined their alliance at a later period, were thereto determined by tbe evident justice of the cause, by their true interests, and above all, by the wisdom and generosity of the authors of this grand confeder- acy. To advance the unfounded principle, tbat the opinion of the world is exclusively decided by France or England, never has been endured, and can as little lie tolerated at tbe present moment, Neither the national pride of an English- man, nor the ignorance and cruelty of a Frenchman, can give authority to such an assertion. The Emperor Napoleon must, indeed, have felt and observed, tbat there exists still, exclusive of Franceand England, independent nations, active cabinets, formidable armies, energy, character, and talents.— On a first glance, one might be tempted to consider this asset tion. as bioached in presence of the Senate, by way of stratagem to degrade the merit and glory of the Continental Powers, lo depreciate their political importance, to delude France, ar. d perhaps, even to flatter England ; for hardly any supposition on the point can be too harsh to be improbable. But this solution is not satisfactory ; the mode of speaking to which we allude may be more simply and naturally considered as one of those expedients by which a false prophet unmasked, who does not wish to acknowledge, and who cannot SQiiceal his embarrasment, endeavours lo give himself the appearance of a mysteiious wisdom, and a sublime calmness."
