Pey ao not contain a syllable of intelligence from the theatre tf eUdr. The stig; it notice frOrn Itastadt oil the Prince akdirs, in the neighimorhoon of inter lock, amounts to nothing. This silence certainly dyes n , t enable us to say pbsitively that BONAPARTE has been defeat, d in Orion by the CRowN PRINCE oa the 10th, as mutioned in the Altona letters ), but n is a proof, that up to the 12th or 13th, the F reli th had gained no victory, for the intelligence must have reached Paris on the 18th at latest.—Nay, if we may }irk an opinion, the want of accocints fromthe Elbe in tl4 French J.:tunals, is in favour oto and not against the probability of the reported 'defeat of Iseir armies. Te Dram has been sting at Paris, for what Cardinal Miitalt is pleased to tail the " memorable BLEsSINGS OF TUE ALL POWERFUL," in repulsing the Allies from Dresden ! We are toad, however, by this same Cardinal, that I t;e?versublime Genius Vibe Emjimaor"-n-' 6 commanded the brilliant homage of 200,000 men and three Sove reigns" on that memorable occasion. The transla ot all tills bombast is, that BONAPARTE defeated the Allies. The French Papers inform us that VANDAAMit has been sent under an esc , it to the interior of Russia. ist , person can quarrel with this oestination: it is te,ient in the extreme. The Patron of Von HOGNN. intP, the Dutch boor, who governs Hamburgh, does riot deserve to be treated as an Officer or a Man, and IIt,xAPAitTE himself will . probably not re gret his exile, tor if we recollect' right, VANDAMME was 'lever a favourite. At a review of the troops at Boulogne, BoNaPARTE fairly told him, in presence of SARRAZIN d nil the other Generals of Division, that his (viz. VANDAMME%) WAS always the dirtiest and worst disophned division of his army. Details 6f events now in upon 11, in such rapid and, we may add, glorious succession, that, like the kingly shadows in Macbeth--" their crowns do sear Our eye-bails!" Scatce;y had we breathing time afforded us after the perusal of Lord CATHCART'S and Mr. THORNTON'S Dispatches yesterday, when the public mind was exhilirated, we will not say agitat ed—by intelligence of still higher interest. It was teported, upon better than usual authority, that an 'cuhet dreadful battle had taken place on the 10th instant, between the Allied Army under the CROWN ?RINCE, and the French commanded by BONAPARTE in person. The scene of the action was laid at Jit:er and the result is described as glorious above all description to toe coinmon cause of Europe. The Tyrant is s id to have lost 60,000 men, and to have fled with 12,000 of the Imperial Guards towards Nagdehurgh I A direction which necessarily implies that his retreat to Dresde'n was cut off by the Inas teriy dispositions of the Allies. That the intelligence we have thus • detailed has reached Government there cannot be a doubt ; and the s.iape in which it comes, as we have already men tioned, is less questionable than almost any rumour -mhich we have lately submitted to our Readers.— The letters from Altc.,ta, which will be found in ano ther part of our Paper, were transmitted to Commo- dare FARQUHAR, of the DiaMEE, whO commands - - - - the small British squadron now in the Elbe. By this Officer they were put on beard the PruNcess Au- GUSTA cutter, Lieutenant MgCuer.oeu, and dispatched to Harwich. From Harwich they were sent express td London, and they reached the Admitalty in the course of the afternoon. We stated their contents in a Second Edition immediately after their arrival.— Such events as those which have been thus commu nicated, we have icing had a right to expect. in the Paris Papers giren in the STAR of Monday, BONAPARTi was described as having beaten BLUCHER in Silesia, left 11PDONALD in a good position to make head against the Allies should they rally, and to have returned to Dresden, there to watoh over any move ments which the enemy might make to so recall him to the left Bank of the Elbe.'s On the 7th he was at Dresden, where he would hear cf Ounmor's and Nt:fs successive defeats, between Juterbock and the Elbe. That he set out at the Lead of his Guards to retrieve the fortune of the day is extremely probable—in this case he may have driven the Allies back upon Juterbock; but on the 10th they seem to have turned upon him, like the chafed Lion upon his hunters, and let us trust that they have revenged the cause of Europe upon the head of her oppressor ! Mr. Tnonwros's dispatches intimate a similar ticipation. He says, that it may be the intention of BONAPARTE in person to act in conjunction with the defeated corps at Torgau, providing he had disposed of BLUCIIER'S army, which was threatening him with " another Hum !" on the side of Silesia. BLUCHER bad prudently, however, fallen back to Lobau—ano ther dextrous movement, for it would either draw Is9nAteAraz after him, or leave the former at liberty to retard o the Eta. f e Probabiliiiei which ts. can adduce, are &Wiwi in femur of thl .ence ft tim tfie of bourse ouch of exaggeration in the accounts conveyed —an exaggeration which arise* from motives which we (.annnt Wan*, Leer to witileis the day ot retribution, the very parasites by whom the Tyrant is surrounded are tlit, first perhaps to Magnify his losses and to trumpet forth his defeats. AllOwatice ought to be snide, therefOre, for the inhabitants of the countries which have felt the scourge of this geotpion : even when a straw is kindled which threatens the conflagration of the stupendous Prison House in which they are con fined—their hearts bound with exultation, and, hur ried away by their wishes, they believe with facility, what persons less afflicted are more hcruptiloui in re , ailing without more positive evidence. The PRINCE FREDERICK, of 64 gun s, has arrived kt Falmouth, from St. Sebastian in three days. Admiral MARTIN came in this ship, and our Palmotuth Cor respondent states In his leiter, That the Admiral immediately set off for London with Dispatches of importance. It is possible there may be some mistake in this, as we cannot learn that Admi ral MARTIN has actually, arrived in town. If we are not mistaken, the gallant Admiral was recently dispatched to the North Coast of Spain on a parti cular service, and his return is possibly not occasioned by any recent events in that quarter, but merely the consAttence of having executed the mission upon which he was sent. Letters from Dover, received this morning, men tion that intelligence had reached that place, from the opposite coast, announcing the evacuation of Dresden on the 11th, at which time the French were in full retreat. The same accounts add, that Gene ral BLUCHER, reinforced by General BENINOSEN, was engaged against Bosamaz in person, and that the loss of the latter was so dreadful as to occasion his retreat through Dresden. We are unable to account for the incoherency of these statements—every thing, however, concurs to show that BONAPARTE has experienced some dreadful reverse. We have letters before us of the 22d July from Palermo, which, after mentioning what has been already stated in the STAR, that there had been some riots, occasioned by the high price of provision!, state, that on the morning of the 19th the mob had proceeded to attack some bakers' shops, and it had been found necessary to call out the military. In the mean time the felons in otte of the largest prisons, about 700 in number, attempted to get out, and ac tually forced three iron gates, The noise which this occasiontd caused their design to he discovered before they reached the outer gate, where they were met by a volley firm the trrops, and forced to return into the prism►. This riot had nothing of a political com plez►sm, nor was the slightest insult offered to any of the B►itish to the streets The outcry was only against the halters, who are always blamed by the ignorant, when provisions rise :in price.

He ascended in a balloon about three in the afternoon, from a platform raised on the middle of the Seine, between the bridge of Concord and the bridge Royal. Assisted by his wings, he moved horizontally from the platform to the bridge Royal, when he rose nearly perpendicular to the height of 5400 feet, following the direction of the Seine through Paris, lest he should experience any accident, and was sticcesiful in guiding the balloon by means of his wings against the wind, which was very strong. Throughout he evinced much coolness and courage. At six o'clock he descended in the plain of St. Mautte ; at eight he returned to Pails.

Almost immediately picked up, covered with stairs and cuts; and gully dead. An alarm being given, the Whvrty was followed by a boat from his 'M jesty' ship CEN.. 'rave, and several (Om beats. The Lieutenant o' the CENTAUR'S boat finding they scarcely gained on the wherry, put two • men into each of two other wherries, which were als in chase, conceiving them most likely to come up with the enemy, and the result prayed he was perfectly correct ; for, 'prat at sun-set, they ran the wherry alongside, though going • at tilt rate of ten males an Iritir, and tiecured the three men, but not till after they had. made a despe rate resistance. They were lanced yesterday, amidst the execrations of an almost ungovernable populace, and examined at the!. Town Hall, when they acknow ledged themselves to be prisoners of war, and to have escaped from Forton 'Prison, at two o'cl )ck in the afternoon. It appears that they hid been enabled, imm selling toys, to purchase entre new by which tl•ey eluded the gu ircls at the gate.;—Brothers has left a trite and two children, and. the,shodc of his untimely end has occasioned het to give a premature ;)irth to a third. Same day a salesman, named Veal, was shot ty a marine on Jury cm b bard his Majesty's ship CENTAuti, at Portsmouth, whilst laying alongside. Tne hall passed through his arm and thigh. He is in a very dingetous state.—The marine is committel to pt IsveatNrss, SEPT. 17. Yesterday the Gout of Justiciary was opened here by the Right Hon. Lord 1-humaso, when Andrew Callen, Seij,!ant, Armourer of the 21st Regiment, n o w stationed at Fort George, was put to the bar, charged with the murder of Wini 4 (red, his wile, in the month of July last. The trial occupied the Court from twelve to five o'clock, when the Jury were enclosed, and this day returned a vet. dirt, unanimously finding the priz , mer One day last week a private in the 18th Hussars, stationed at Lewes, led the fair object of Ins aff otion to the altar of Hymen, and thence to one • f the bar rack huts to celebrate the wedding; but ere the hour of consummation had arrived, the bride's breast was, from some cause or other, so inflamed with jealousy and revenge, that she suddenly seized the-sabre of her husband, which was hanging in the room, and with it infltcted wounds on one of his arms, which for a time threatened amputation, but the bleeding being at length with difficulty stopped, tin: op:ration was delayed, and strong holes are now entertained of saving the poor man's ltb i .

The eldest Mr. Quail was opposed by the two younger brothers, and fell and was hurt in the scuffie. He afterwards went homewards ; but finding himself unwell, got into a house in the skirts of the town, where he lay down on a bed, and soon after died. A Coroner's Inquest brought in a verdict that he dies from excessive passion. Last night, between nine and ten o'clock, as a carman was driving a hyrse and cart in the 13 'rough, and turning shafply round the corner of Tooley street from Lon Jon-bridge, his foot slipped, and fall ing, the wheels of the cart went over his body and kiiled him on the spot. 5!..11T1-IFIELd MARKET, 3EO r. 24.
