Seventeen waggons, laden with barrels of ear ridges, taken. by our brave troops from the insurgents cf La Vendee, arrived yesterday in our city, escorted by detachments of cavalry and infantry. Incessant clouts of rtve PE:Nl:new accompanied them to the Castle, where they were deposited. In the late *Moir at Aizenai, in which General rrev ,, t, who arrived yesterday at Nantes, -com manded, the insurgents were completely beaten, al. :14Jugh greatly superior in number to our troops, who broke upon the spot a considerable quantity of muskets, which they had not means to carry away.. Our soldiers say, that very few of the insurgents march voluntarily, the greater part having been en rolled by force, by the Chiefs of the Royalist Party, rd that they desert with the first opportunity.— There is every reason to hope, that this insurrection rill lead to no reiult ; and chat the unfertunate . men rho have been led astray. will learn their error. The 26th of the line. commended by the brave Co bnel Prevost, 'is expected at Nantes. A part of the One corps of the chasseurs of La Vendee, sent out yesterday for Ancenis for horses to mount them.

He was also the bearer of a great number of letters without signatures, but marked in a certain way. He•was carried before t:re Prefect of the North, with his packages.

The people and the Saxon soldiery ran to the Saxon Com.' raandant and threw him out of the windows, whereby had an arm broken.. The Saxons fired grape shot :ion the Prussians with two pieces of Gannon ; the :umber of the wounded was at least 700. There 'vas only one regiment of Prussian infantry at Dres t!:a at the time of this commotion, which took place 7a the I2th of March, at eleven o'clock, A.M. At Breslan our traveller learned that orders. had izeit given by the Russian General, who commanded Poland, to disarm the Polish infantry, and dis count the cavalry, but these troops opposed it : a hat '2.e took place—General Dombrowski was made pri tner and conducted to Siberia : another Polish Ge szral, who served in Spain with General Montbrun, put himself at the head of the Polish troops. The Polish Lords are raising troops— at the period of these :Tuts, which occurred about the 23d of March, this ussians retired upon the frontiers of Silesia, and from t.c side of Dantzic and Konigsberg. At Hamburgh the general opinion of the inhahl 'ants is in favour of the French. At Amsterdam, in . .+2 beginning of May, 'there were no troops; the to. , t,itants mounted guard themselves.

It was not without pleasure that we saw return within our walls some batfilions of Highlanders. whose good conduct had caused them to be much regretted. Her Serene Highness Madame the Duchess of An gouleme was expected yesterday at Ghent. An hotel is prepared there for this Princess, near the Palace of Louis XVIII. Accounts from Barcelona announce that troops in cessantly arrive in Catalonia. The head-quarters are established in that town, where his Catholic Majesty and his brother the infant Don Carlos are expected. iVe learn that the Spanish and Portuguese armies collected upon the frontiers of France, to invade it, are four innumber ; the two most considerable are those of 13iscay and Catalonia ;.the corps d'armee of Navarre and Arragon are legs considerable.

His Excellency the Duke of Wellington gave a brilliant fete yesterday evening in honour of the seri ' val of Prince Blucher. This morning these illustrious warriors, accompanied by the Prince of Orange and a vast number of Generals and officers of distinction, reviewed, at Gratnrnont, among other troops, a mag nificent corps of several thousand English cavalry.

We hare the following particulars of the march of the Russian army s-44 Of the Russian army now marching through Bohemia and Saxony the left wing comes by way of Nuremberg; the first column en tered from Bohemia into the Upper Palatinate on the 17th.

The left wing will communicate by Manheim with the Austro-Bavarian army. The Russians make now longer marches than ever, six, eight, and sometimes more German miles in a day. The head-quarters of Field-Marshal Barclay de 'folly will be at Baireuth on the Ist of June. There will be about twenty Ge nerals, and some hundred Officers with him." BAREUTH, MAY st.• • His • Excellency General Baron Sackers arrived here yesterday evening. To-morrow we expect Ike Ara column of the corps under his command. NUREMBERO, MAY its. Accounts are just received from Vienna, that a preliminary courier has arrived there with the news that the Austrian troops have entered Naples. All the booths of the fair are hastily pulling down, in order to prepare for the entry of the official courier. LILLE, MAY 24. An order of the day issued by the Commandant of the place, informs the National Guards of the first battalion, that they shew themselves but little worthy of the favour of not having been rendered moveable, by the conduct of several persons belonging to the guard, who being on duty, left their post to go and sleep at home, &c. The diligence from Lille to Menin and Ypres re. sumed yesterday its usual journey. It will continue to carry merchandize to Belgium. FLORENCE, MAY te. His Royal Highness Prince Leopold of Sicily,ar.

Eight hundred Neapolitan prisoners are just brought in. GHENT, MAY ss. The Hereditary Prince of Orange. and Prince Fre derick, are going to Grammont, to be present at the grand review of the troops collected in that quarter. The accounts from France mention the little suc cess that has attended several of the measures of Bonaparte. The fedetition of the fauzbourg of St. Antoine and St. Marceau produced on the day ache review of the federates a• collection of only 3000 men, part of *hom were even brought thither by necessity. Among otheri, the coalmen were threatened with the loss of their license' if they did not appear.— For the rest, the cry of Vices e Nation was not suffie cient to excite any jacobin nthubiasm. A gallop with which Napoleon rapidly traversed the ranks of this-egsal andfree assemblage, seemed an insult to the bsethren and friends, who expected a more familiar welcome, - end more intimate commonication. The people of Paris, who Were at first alarmed at this strait convocation, soon looked upon it as aoilkon. mire plan, and 'contempt succeeded to their tenor.. 11E EVENMG STAR. LONDON..

Their number was above 20,000 men, all in fine condition. Language, it is said, can convey no adequate idea of the gran. deur of the scene. The Duke of WELLINGTON had not been in bed for the three preceding nights. A Flanders Mail also arrived in the course of List night, from which we have, in the preceding columns, given extracts of every thing worthy of notice in the printed Journals. The subjoined letter is from a Pri vate Correspondent : " Cheat, May 29. " Yesterday I was in company with several French Officers of rank, who left Paris about a week ago. By their accounts, Bo naparte's army does not consist of more than 15v,000 mega ; not more than 25 or 39,00 u of whom are good old troops and there are great dissensions among the rest of them. He has not above to 000 cavalry ; and if Murat should return to the command of ' them, his usual waste of horses is so great, that 10,000 of them , will not last him three months. Horses at present are very scarce and bad In France. Napoleon has little or no artillery. And thew -officer, think he will not venture to leave Paris to take the command of the army. The garrison of Lille, they say, consists of only IMO men, and that of Dunkirk of only 950. Burgundy and Champagne ate the only provinces that are disaffected to the Bourbons : the rest of France, and the National Guards, are ex tremely well disposed to them ; and It is alarmed by well 'arm.. med men here, that in less than one month after the King's at._ rival in France, he will be joined by 100,000 volunteers in the 'North of France—ready to lay' down their lives fur his cause, and to suppress rebellion and perfidy. Louis has instituted a new Order, that of Fidelity. P As I presume that you, before this, have beard of the con. spine, of Prince Eugine and Berthier, I need not enlarge on tha t piece oftreachery. This large city swarms with English troops, to whom, and especially to the Highlanders, who all conduct themselves web, the inhabitants are very partial : and it is becom. , ing very fashionable among all classes to learn English. The Duke of WeWagton has a fine army ; some say 10, and others net fewer than 60,000 British troops, upwards of 20,000 of whom are cavalry, and an excellent and numerous artillery. So that if the French should be disposed to pay a visit to the Netherlands, before the AlOes are ready to begin their united offensive opera. dons, they will meet with a warm reception from him and the Pensehme and Dutch, and, perhaps, have remelt to repent of their • temerity. • TO attempt to give you an Idea of Wellington's plan of attack, would only be mere guess work. Nothing transpires from him more than from the grave : and it is thought that none but Blucher, who has given up the supreme cointriaud to him, is in the secret." We have teceived the Paris Papers of Tuesday : they furnish us with some interesting intelligence.— The preparations for the mockery of the Champ de Mai go on swimmingly. This day is mentioned . as that on which the farce was to be represented. In the mean time, " treason domestic—foreign levy" threaten both the electors and elected. General Clweltr., the magnanimous conqueror of the Duchess d'A.Nootassiz, at Bonrdeaux, finds himself very un easy in his saddle : he thinks it ve:l unhandsome in the inhabitants of the South of France to resist the authority of the Great NAPOLION and his satellites, and has therefore issued a denunciation on the humane model of those issued at Hamburgh by DAVOUST, VANDAIIIME, and VON HOOENDORP. A report is given from Nantes, stating, that 600 individuals have been arrested there, among whom are two Nephews of LA pIiAREVTX. The corps of LA ROCHE JACQUELIN is said to have been entirely dispersed. This is contradicted, however, by another article from Tours, in which it is admitted that the Vendeans were in possession of Choler, a garrison town, which had been previously evacuated. To add to these successes of the Royalists, we find that amt.- beurg has been declared in a state of siege 1 In down right English, Cherbourg, like Marseilles, has declared for Louis XVIII. The Journalists boast much of the latitude allowed to the Press : they cite as instances, the free circula tion of a pamphlet, entitled " Jaccisinism refuted, or Carnot's Memoir triumphantly answered." A song, or ballad, is also very popular in Paris, and attracts great crowds in the streets wherein it is sung: the burden is si when spring is over, what will become of the violet r' This is considered as ominous of the fate of IiONAPARTt o and' we are glad to find meets with many admirers. A caricature is also mentioned as extremely offensive—it describes Louts XVIII. and BONAPARTE boxing for the Crown, with the Prince Regent and the Allied • Sovereigns as bye standers. 44 Let us leave such vile efforts to degrade Royalty to the English," says the Parisian Mo ralist. • A Ftench praam from Brest to Havre, with am munition, lice. detained by a British frigate on Satur day list, has since arrived at Portsmouth. It is now ascertained to be. his Majesty's ship DESIIIrt tharde tained her ; and as the DESIREt left Portsmouth very recently on a cruize, it is uwunitd she had Admiralty orders accordingly. rithHetAir.

It is ititendod, immediately on its arrival in England, to tili op this fine old Regiment from the 2d Battalion, and send them to Belgium—thus affording, to the earnest desire of this corps, a chance of sharing in the glury of those who Serve with 'WELLINGTON.

Aker the Reporters had left the House of Corn mons on Wednesday night, in the suppositio^ that the business was concluded, the following notice by the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER, with an obser vation upon it by Sir CHARLES MoNue, took plaice : Sir CHARLES ?slowest enquired whether the Right Km. Gen tleman intended to bring on that part of tie schedule wh.cis related ro the new tax on advertisements ? The CIANCOLLOO. Of die EXCHIQUIR stated, that he bad had conferences with several persons who appeared to represent the sense of those individuals who were more immediately interested in the measure, and an arrangement had been agreed on which was supposed to meet the views of both parties. The general rot& of this arrangement was, that the progressive duty on ad vertisements should be abandoned, and that in lieu of it there should be imposed a common duty -of an additional sixpence, making the whole duty Ss. lid.; and also an additional duty of one halfpenny upon the paper itself. Sir CUARLES Monett conceived that a new question arose out of this I.la for transposing the new duties on advertisements. and newspapers. It was generally co.isidered that the universal circulation of knowkdge produced by the daily journals, and other periodical publications, was oats of the most extensive and substantial advantages resulting from the liberty of the press. The House , therefore, ought to determine whether it might not be a duty they owed to the public, whose interests were most concerned, to step in between Government and the editors ,of newspapers, who he could easily apprehend might coincide in an arrangement convenient to both, but by no means equally beneficial to the public. lle coafes'ed he was very averse to seeing the necessities of the State supplied by means which s emed to tend to the suppression of general information. The Right Hun. Gentleman, he hoped, would at least have no objection to postpone the resolution for the present. CUANCN.LLOI of the Examen& assented to the wish of the Hon. Baronet. If there be no mistake in the preceding statement, we cannot account for it. It is not true that the Pro prietors of the London News-papers have acceded to any arrangement that has yet been proposed. We have since heard that some such proposal had been made TO a Deputation of the Proprietors of Country News-papers, not, however, in the shape of even A compromise, but as the only alternative left to them— either to agree to this or to be subjected to the ope ratipn of the proposed progressive duty on Advertise meta I The progressive scale, as first suggested, instead of yielding revenue, would diminish, considerably, the present amount received on Advertisements—and would destroy many of the Newspaper properties en tirely, which, of course, would inhihilate the red stamp duty to the extent of the sale of these papers. All this was demonstrated by both the London and Country proprietors :—But did it follow from this that, therefore, in another way, News-papers might be farther taxed 1 It is not,true in matters of Revenue that.two and two sums four. When. the maximum has been reached on any article, the operation becomes reversed in its effects, two and two, making only daree.—lt it were the object of the Minister to destroy the Public Press, it will not be' denied that the proposed measure is well calculated to answer such a purpose; bat this is the last opinion we shall entertain : nor do we believe that this country would submit to so great an evil. At least the press, in its dying struggles, will try its strength with any Minister who shall ever attempt to muzzle or to silence it iu this country.. The Newspaper Press is already subjected to a re straint inconsistent with the general principles of the Constitution. They are restricted, by law, from selling their article above a certain price, under pain of forfeiting the discount allowed on the Stamp duty! By this law they are run so hard, that but for the profit thex have on theif Advertisements, the Lon don Papers could not be continued. And, in fact, several of them have gi►en up the discount and raised their price to 91 some of them to Is. Should News• Papers be further taxed than they are alrstady; it will soon be proved that the Revenue, instead of being benefited will be materially injured; but not till a number of industrious individuals shad have bsn ruiatd: N MARGAT% Juns I.—Sailed ,this evening the Bri- tannia pocket, Captain STRANACK. for Ostend, with Coax-Excitants% hare 2.—We had very little by: several horses, carriages, and passengers, among sines doing in the Wheat trade this morning, but whom is Dr. HYDI4 - Physician to his Royal High- our prices may be considered the same as on Monday. ness the Prince of 0111ANCE. and several Officers going Barley is rather cheaper, the consumption being w join the army in the Netherlands.
