But be it known to France'', that the other paws:etre solicitous of conquering lasting tran quillity for their 'subjects, and that they will not lay down their arms, until the foundation of the independence of every Euro pean State has been established and secured." We cannot disiniis this simple but energetic appeal in favour of suffering humanity, without reverting to a prediction of twenty-two years standing, hazarded .ertainly by one of the most eloquent, if not the pro foundest Statesman, who ever lived. The great BURKE, in 1791, when pointing out the evils which must necessarily result from the Revolution which then convulsed the whole of Europe, most emphati cally prophesied that is by the intervention of Russia, the world would be preserved from barbarism and uin !" Has this glorious sera now arrived ? French Papers to a late date arrived last night ; and we have also received some Dutch Papers, the principal contents of both of which we have extracted. .—BONAPARTg has issued a Decree for enforcifig the late Concordat, regulating the affairs of the Church. Very considerable bodies of troops are hastening from France td join the forces on the left bank of the Elbe. By an article from Leipsic, it appears, that sickness prevails in all the towns on the great military routes. A Proclamation has been published by the Saxon Regency, hom the style of which it is easy to perceive that Count WI rTGENsnules addresses have had great effect. In every place the people, under in impression that their Sovereign was a captive, and would not return, were preparing to take up arms, and receive the Russians as deliverers. A Mail from Lisbon arrived yesterday, but it Brought no intelligence of interest ; the contents of the letters and papers having been anticipated by the list arrivals from Corunna. But by a running vessel, :he Cesar, from Oporto, which has arrived at Liver pool, we are assured that SUCHEVs army has been de feated with great loss. We have not bean able to learn any farther particulars. The French are evi lently retreating, (although slowly) from Spain.-- The Captain of a Prussian vessel, which has arrived Falmouth from B9urdeaux, states that the passage French troops from Spain was incessant. By an American prize brought into Plymouth, we have received some further American Papers, from which we have given extracts. We call the atten tion of our Readers to a statement by the American Ifficers employed in the affair in which General Ww aussrart was defeated, as containing a foul and infa loos libel upon the British character. Colonel Paoc lit, who commanded the British fbrce, and his ifficers, on that occasion, are charged, not directly, is true, but by implication, with having abandoned .te wounded prisoners to be butchered by the Indian warriors. The whole statement is, we have no doubt, a foul calumny. Extract of a report from the Commander in Chief. of the Russian troops in Georgia : " Lieutenant General KTISTt•CHEFF, Commander ;n Chief of the troops of his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias, in Georgia, under date of January 28, 1813, reports, that a detachment, amounting to 1500 men, under the orders of Lieutenant-General KoartJaance, took by assault, on the 31st Decem ber last, the important fortress of Sincoran, situated on the Caspian sea. On this occasion, the whole of the enemy's garrison, consisting of 4,000 of their best troop, was destroyed ; the Commandant, SitltGAlt SADYK CIiANI. a near relative of BARBACHAU, the Commander in Chief' 4411 the Persian troops in the province of Talycheusk, is among the number of .the killed, as well as ten others of the principal Chiefs, who commanded in the fortress. The fruits of this considerable victory were, two standards, eight pieces of cannon, and considerable stores of ammunition, &c.—The province of Talycheusk is in consequence completely in our possession." LAsrelt SUNDAY.-It orris expected yesterday that the PlilhCE REGENT would go in state to the Chapel Royal, St. James's, as was the case last year, and a large concourse ot people were assembled in Pall-mall for the purpose of seeing the procession ; but his Royal Highness went without any retinue, in his chariot and pair, through the park, and entered St. jaines's by the garden gate. The prucessiun, how ever, was arranged in a suite of rounis in the Palace; the movements of it were for a short time delayed in eunsequence of the Duke of Yonic having come with. out any erape on his regimentals, as military mourn ing; a Lady in the privy chamber accommodated hip Royal Highness with her veil. The procession then began to move in the following order : Your lieralds—TeNo Serjeants at Mace, with superb collars ever their shoulders—Two Set jean' at 11-lace, dres.ed in a inn les manner—Page of HULOW—Naster ot the Ceremotties—hia Heralds—King at Arint—Six Getitkmen Ushers—Equeries— Grreom in waiting—Vice Chamberlain—Comptroller of the thold, Treasurer of the HOUtic hold, The Lord Chamberlain, I he Lord Steward of the H.rusthold—The Sword of State— 'ht ?Jukes ot Yoax and Ca.mastooe, walking a little before the IhRINCY.

The Pam% wore the Order of St. George over his trgirneutals. On their arrival in the Chapel Royal, his Royal Highness took his seat in the front of the Royal Closet, which was covered with crimson vel vet and gold, in the same manner as for the Kitco. The attendants stood behind him ; the Lord Cham. berlain on the right of the Royal Chair, and the Lord •n Waiting on the lett. The Church service was read by the Rev. Mr. Hotuts, the Sub-Dean. The Bishop of LoNDom, as Dean of the Chapel, read the Commu nion service. The S•:rmon was preached by Doctor CARET, the Sub-Almoner. in the absence of the Arch bishop of YORE, the Lord High Almoner, from the 17th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. After the sermon, the anthem .g Hear my Prayer," by KENT, was sung by Masters Harris and Browne', of his Ma jesty's Chapel RoyaL They sung it with so much taste and expression, that their performance attracted the particular attention of the rawcz. SECOND EDITION. STAR OFFICE, TWO O'CLOCK. Government have received dispatches from the South of Spain, confirming the intelligence of the' retreat of the French. The army formerly com manded by Sow.r (for that General has arrived at Paris) is now between two fires, viz. the Alicant Army, under Sir JOHN MURRAY, and Sir Row- LAND Hu.t.'s division.. Both are pressing onwards, to form a junction and intercept the retreat of the French Army. The following Bulletin has been issued on the subject : 0 WAR DEPARTMENT, APRIL 19. " Dispatches have been received from Lieutenant- General Sir JOHN MURRAY. " By the first, dated Castalla, 23d of March, it appears that the Lieutenant-General reconnoitred the enemy's position at Alcoy upon the 3d, driving in their outposts with some loss. 46 On the 6th Sir JOHN MURRAY attacked Alcoy in force, sending a column to cut off the enemy's re treat. The French were driv.en out of the town, and pursued six or seven miles ; but the troops detached to intercept their retreat did not arrive in time. The loss of the allied force was tr..tng. Alcoy being occupied by a division of the Al lies, Marshal SUCIIET quitted Valencia and concen trated his Army. Sir JOHN MURRAY had fixed his head-quarters atCastalla, and Gen. an) had marched to Yecla, in order to support the left of the Allies. Some partial affairs had taken place to the advantage of the Allies.' The most considerable had been an attack made by the Spanish General WIUTTINGHAM upon the enemy's post at the Puerto de Albayda, from whence the French were driven with much loss. " Sir Joi.: MURRAY speaks highly of the behaviour of the Spanish troops." THE ARMY. A strong detachment of the 7ch Hussars left town this morning for Blackheath, to prevent any disturb ance at Greenwich lair. The troop of the 7th Dragoons, some time quar tered in Cirlisle, marched ou Mouthy for iLimiltoa barracks. A detachment of the 2d Life Guards embarked on Saturday at Portsmot.th for the Peninsida. A de tachment of the Royal Artillery has niar,:ht-ci into Hilsea, to wait a conveyance to Ceylon. The North Cork Militia will embark at Gosport in a few days for Iceland. -- The Ro7al Perthshire Militia have arrived at Shrewsbury. The Wigan Regiment of Local Militia is ordered upon duty to-morrow. This Regiment volunteered 67 men for the Line, and a few for the Regular Mi litia, during its late period of service. Must of the Lancashire regiments have behaved in a like inanntr. Saturday morning the Roscommon Regiment of Militia enibm ked on board the transports in C:.twAter, which will sail the moment the wind proves f ivour abL, under convoy of the DA UNTLESS sloop of war. EXTRACT OP A PRIVATE LETTER FROM P.ILEIC‘IO, DATED FEBRUARY '24., 1813. 4g At the same time that this reaches you, you will of course receive the official particulars of a dashing enterprize, conducted by Captain Hall on the ene my's shores. The bravery of those few men em ployed does them, and indeed the whole Ai my and Navy, the greatest credit. Soon after the successful termination of this expedition, the •following Order of the Day was published in the Messina: Gazette: ' Messina, February 15,1813. Major. General Montresgor congratulates the troops hi the District of Messina on thetortimate attack niat:e this morning un der the Immediate direction of Brigadier Ball , on a great number of the enemy's vessels collected at Pietra Nera, which place was defended by a regiment of the line, two troops of cavalry, and three hatteries. But the enemy, in spite of all the advantages of his position, was unable to resist the spirited attack of the flotilla, seconded by the valour of four companies of the 75th regiment? under the command of Major Stewart, who, it is much to be la mented, was killed by a random shot, alter he had re•entbarked his detachment, and performed all that was necessary, with his wonted judgment and intrepidity.. The loss of such an ezperienc. d officer will be long deplored by the 75th rtgiment and the service in general. The enemy have suffered considerably (I hems‘lves confessing to have lost 150 men); particularly in cavalry : 120 prisoners, amongst whom we find a Colonel, two Captains of Dragoons, one Captain of Artillery, and two of the line. About 50 vessels have been de• stroyed and brought away.' 44 I understand that the Frenchmen were so well prepared, and had such a strong force, that they had not the least dread of an attack. So secure were they in their own opinion, that the Colonel who is taken ,had just left a ball-room and had barely time to put on over his gay dancing dress some of his wardrobe more calculatcd for fighting. He complains bitterly of the bad support he had from his second in com mand, whom he accuses roundly of want of spirit. The Thames and Furieuse frigates lately sailed from hence for Melazzo on a secret expedition, which has in truth been kept a most profound secret—conjecture says, it is for the purpose of taking possession of the island of Ponza, on the opposite coast ; but this is merely spe culation. We are most completely and most properly all in the dark here respecting its right object. The next packet will most probably convey to you the result." The plan of raking £6,000,000 for the service of the year, upon debentures, has failed. The period Allowed for receiving subscriptions terminated on Thursday, and the total amount then subscribed did not, it is said, exceed X5OlOOO. NifF.IL INTILLIGBNCE. The BONNE CITOTENNE g Captain P.

At about half past two o'clock the tide served at the dock-yard of Sir ROBERT .WIGRAM, when the ropes and other apparatus which confined the vessels being remived, they glided gra dually into the bosom of the water, to the no small gratification of the surrounding multitude, who chef l ed upon the occasion with loud and repeated huzzas. The weather being fine, contributed much to heighten the pleasure which usually accompanies a c remony of this nature ; and we ale h.pny ti find, that the whole went off without any accident having occurred. One of the vessels was afterwards taken into dock, for the purpose of being coppered. The following marriages in High Life, we ender stand, are expected to take lace in a few days 4.

THE COSsACK.—TIie exhibition of the Cossact yesterday in Hyde-park, was completely spoiled; by the eager curiosity which it was meant to gratify. In consequence of a pompous notice in some of the papers 'that this veteran would snake his appearance on a charger lent for that purpose by Colonel Heaves of the City Light Horse, in the warlike costume of his tribe—his musket slung at his back, his sabre by his side, his pistols at his girdle, his pike resting upon his right foot as when preparing for a charge—myriads of people flocked t 9 that extremity of the town to see him. It was not, however, until past four that he entered from Cumberland-gate, on a grey charger, and equipped nearly as above-stated ; but the moment be entered the Park, he was beset on all sides with litrt men, and so enveloped, that the pedestrians could not get a sight of any thing but his pike. On his Arlie:al at the entrance of Rotten-row, theihorsemen crowded so about him, as almost to stop his progress ; and he was compelled by their perseverance to turn p•und and take the cross ride. He returned in less than a quarter of an hour, and by great exertion got into the principal ride of the Park, down which he rode, and returned the same way. Of the many thousands who had assembled on this occasion, he could not Lin been seen by more than one-fourth. CORN-MARKET, WLARK-LANE, - APRII. Is.
