Is. dis. • In a Second and Third Edition, yesterday, we ez. clusively announced the arrival of Paris Papers to the 7th instant, containing the impoitant intelligence of 130aAPaara's . personal escape to Mentz ; for, after the falsehoodi *it% which his Journalists have recently amuses us, 4 - are not w credulous as to believe that he brougla with him 100,000 men. The very article which thus raises the numbers of his deTeated why, previously informs u?, that BONAPARTE arrived at Mentz on the 2d, ea's-1y in the morning, with"“ part of his Guards, and a)? their artillery !" Although we are still without any official details from Sir CHARLES STEWART or Lord CATHCART, of events subsequent to the great battle of Leipsic, we have abundance of evidence, even from the French Papers, that the march from Leipsic to Erfurt, was not effected without daily, nay hourly disasters to the rettestting army. The Chapter of Accidents from Erfurt to the Rhine, is now before us: it is of course an wart? statement s but it nevertheless affords us many yr:minds for congratulation. Bavaria is in downright earnest in her exertions to overthrow the tyranny to which she has so greatly contributed. The main Bavarian army, in conjunction with an Austrian corps from Brannan, having gaiued by rapid marches, die vicinity of the. Rhine, has come in contact with the retreating French army at Hanau. Their achievements are unwillingly recorded in the Papers before us, and they seem to have given way to su perior numbers only,,their enemies literally cut a passage through them. The French official Report (for the appellation of Bulletin has been long since abandoned) continence: by statit - ,g, that the Emperor, with his usual Magna nimity, had dispensed with the services of the Saxon and Bavarian regiments. It was, in fact, unsafe to trust them any longer, and they owe him no gratitude for his lenity he was aware that the Bavarian army was waiting for him at Hanau, and he did not wish to witness a repetition of the scene that was exhibited at the Battle of Leipsic, by the Bavarians turning their arms against the French troops. Froni the 25th to the 29th ult. the French army were permitted to retreat in tranquillity—on the latter day, however, they were attacked at Gilnhausen by the advanced guard of the Bavarian and Austrian arihys and, if we are to believe the French statements, the assaiWnts Were repulsed. Their main body then came up, and on the morning of the 30th ig the Em peror, mouuted on horsebick"—an expression which implies that his presence was necessary. Sit batta licns of the Allies were posted so as to cut off all the avenues to the Rhine—their dispositions seem . to have been excellent ; but they were, nevertheless, out manoeuvred—for BONAPARTE is constrained to admit that his titailleuts lucceeded in 46 gaining time" for !he bringing - up of his best troops and all his remain ing artillery. The brunt of the action, therefore, fell upon his cavalry, an arm in which he was no doubt decidedly superior, and they manfully cut a passage !ur him through the solid squares of Bavarian and Austrian infantry and cavalry which were opposed theme , The result of fte•action Put the French in posses_ ion of the tinge towards the khine, for the Allies are said to have retired to AKhaffenburg. Their r s loss is estimated", by the French at 10,000 in killed our.ded, and prisoners, while with great .rang froill they compete their own at four or 500. This is too isurd to merit i 4a7e contradiction. Eighty aqua. of cavalrf, One hundred and twenty pieces of UMW, four battalions of the old guard, and 5,000 .iflemen (Tirailleurs), composed the force opposed o the Allies.: In this enumeration we perceive An 'dmissioo, that the formidable attitude of the Allies eadered it highly necessary that I)%74PARTE should gain time" to bring 1i p the elite of his army. One observation cannot fail to present itself to our. waders on the perusal of these details : the retreat the wreck of the French army from Erfurt to the Mine has been effected with so much rapidity, ':lat even the Cossacks have been outstripped ; and at for a celerity of movement on the part of the al. ed Bavarian and Austrian army, which their ho. ,ourable zeal in the great cause must have alone given firth to, we should not have heard of this interrup. ion at katiau. It is also evident, we think, that the greater part of the French troops which have arrived +t Mentz consists of cavalry. 1 --.--_ •• • • • Moo • • 4 o •4. HALink simu . . .

The following are extracts from the Boston Papers : COPY OP A LETTER FROM COMMODORE PERRY To THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY. " United States Schooner, of Portage Weer, £9th September. 1$ But—Since I last did myself the honour of writing you, the vessels under my command have been employed in moving the army from the camps at Portage River and Fort Meigs, to Port Put-in- Bay. A considerable body of troops have already arrived at that place. General Cass, commanding the Bay, mentioned to me a few moments before I left him this morning, that a man ha.‘e,Ard from Detroit, who reported that the lndi S had burnt that place. The General had not seen the man.— Two of his Officers conversed with him. 6$ Very respecfully, I have the honour to be, 66 0. 11. l'EltitY." " The United States ship President, Commodore Rodgers, arrived at Newport, 12.hode Island, the 26th ult. from a cruize of five months. She sailed from Boston the 30th April, in .company with the Con gress ; separated from her the Sd May—eruized for some time off the Western Islands; en the 27th June put into Bergen, watered, and sailed again the 2d July ; on the 19th was off the North Cape of Nor way ; OR the 2d August passed between the Ferro Islands and the coast of Ireland ; cn the 9th Sep tember was in lat. 43. long. 50. 26.; andon the 23d, off Nantucker Shoals, captured the Higliflyer tender belonging to Sir J. Warren's squadron,. and thereby obtained possession of all his private signals and in structions, also of the disposition of the forces under his command." The following are from the New York Paper of the 30th September : We learn, by a Gentleman who arrived yester day in the steam-boat, that on Saturday, the 18th, Commodore Chauncey, with his fiezt, left S ickett's Harbour, with about forty open boats ; and that on Monday afternoon he passed Pultneysville. 14 We further learn, that all our cannon had been brought over to the American side ; from Fort George it was reported, that all the Americans had left Fort St. George, and had arrived at Fort Niagara. It was supposed that the whole of the American forces were destined for Kingston. Six sloops from New York, full of troops, had arrived off Grvenbnsh, and were still on board the sloops as late as 9 o'clock on Tuesday morning. " A prisoner on beard the President was informed by an Officer, that during their cruize they had cap tured twenty-seven vessels, thirteen of which were Greenland fishermen ; five of them were burnt, and eleven ransomed ; the remaining eleven were man ned. While on the coast of Greenland, the Com modore was chaced four days by four British 74 , 's and a frigate." We have received Madrid Gazettes to the 24th October. They contain the following inteili once : " SANTANDER, NOVEMBER 4. " On the 28th ult. Lord Wellington reviewed all the line of the Allied Army, and by the preparatity.s which had been made, and v.ere making, it was gene:ally belieVed the army was immediately to ad vance to Bayonne. " Our accounts from Cadiz are of an unfavourable description ; the fever is said to have very consider ably increased in that city. " The garrison of Pamplona, at, the time of its surrender, consisted of 24 Of and 4198 privates." " MADRID, OCTOBER 22. " On the 9th, the Secretary addressed to the Cortes a .reply which he had received from the Duke of Ciudad Rodrigo, thanking the Congress for the gift of Solo di Roma.—" This favour," says his Lord ship, " is the greatest I could have received from the Congress; and I have the satifaction of protesting to the Spanish Nation and the Congress, that I shall mote and more exert myself in their defence. " We know tha: Soult has been reinforced'with ten thousand conscripts, from which, however, accord ,ing to accouats. but little advantage can be derived, as they bring with them that fear inherent in a pea sant just turned soldier, particularly on joining a beaten army." Tuesday last, the Bishop of LouttoN, attended by the Chancellor and other Officers of the Diocese, consecrated, with the usual ceremonies; the new Burial-ground at Paddington. His Royal Highness the Duke of Kim was on Monday last unanimously elected Grand Master of the Ancient Masons of England, on the resignation of his Grace the Duke of ATHOL, who has for twenty three years presided over the numerous Lodges esta blished in every part of the world, under the warrant of the Grand Lodge of England. His Royal High ness is to be installed as Grand Master, with all the ancient solemnities, on the Ist of December next. ‘ . • ••%:. .• p a•ro I, • . ••• ISRMISH ARMY TN FRA N C E. A priiate kiter from the British army in the Sohth of France, of a late date, states, that two French Gentlemen had come ove r t o the British outposts to avoid the Conscription, which wits executing with the most distressing rigour'. Twelve hundred new Conscripts had, a day or two before, joined the army in that neighbourhood : they were not merely hyr, but absolutely °Wirral These gentlemen reparted the whole French army opposed to Lord WtiIINGTON at 60,000 men, of which only 12,000 were in advance at Fort de Luce. The Plymosth Chromic's, of Tuesday, received this morning, presents some late and interesting intelli gence, should it Prove correct. The following is the article alluded to : " PLYMOUTH, NOVEMBER 9. cs A Gentleman, who arrived last night from Truro, has informed us, that the CHANCE cutter bad arrived at Falmouth with impOrtant intelligence from Lord WELLINcrioN before Bayonne, stating that his Lordship had actually carried a considerable post, called the Fort de Luce, an outwork of the garrison of Bayonne; and that he was bombarding the tows day - and eight, which was eipeCted to surrender almost immediately. This account was believed it Truro." -The Fort alluded to in the above paragraph is the sarae that our Army letter mentioned to be occupied by 12,000 men. If this post has been taken by our troops it will facilitate the fall of Bayonne : hut the plare has been much strengthened of late, and we are apprehensive will retpt;re same drubbing to in duce a surrendrr.—To-morrow will bring the regular accounts from Fi!month, when we shall learn what accounts have acLually been brought by the Chance. By letters recently received from Oporto, we learn, that at that port and Figueia, upwards of 2900 con valescent British troops are assembled, in readiness to proceed to Lord WELLINGTON. C .ptain MAGENDIE, son of the Bishop of BANGOR, is appointed Aid-de-Camp to General Sir GEORGIC HEWETT. St LT has ordered, that those corps whose strength is no: one thousand men, are to send immediately to the depot of their regiments their eagle and their Lind. Where there are no eagles to take, none can be taken. BONAPARTE quitted MOSCOW, it Was said, for want of suaicientfiring; at Leipsic ue seems w have got sore than he wanted. Among the French Commanders noticed as still 1 1 with BONAPARTF, we observe BERTHIER, MACDONALD, MOItTIEN /OLPINOT, MAIthIONT, BERTRAND, SEIAS• TIAN!, Nassotrry, and some others of inferior note. The German Papers arc incorrect and contradictory in this respect : but we believe that among the Mar shals, PosiaTowgt, and AVGEREAU ; among the Generals commanding corps, Reosras, BERTRAND (Count of Lobatt), and LAUItiSTON ; and among thel Generals of Division, SocHara, BREMER, and Diai- 1 aanwsKl ; may be set down as either killed or taken. We ibeve• beet, favoured by a most intelligent Cbr. respondent with the following _particulars respecting the state of the public mind in France and Holland, at the present crisis, particularly on the subject of the Conscription—we inserted them in our Second Edi tion yesterday, but they ought to be generally known as they rest en the best authority : " Of the 4.00,000 men called for in France, 120,000 belong to former Conscriptions ; this call causes more annoyance and distress than the 280,000, for great' number's of the former class, not imagining they would ever be ordered out, and particularly the Na tional Guards, have married and foi med establish ments; therefore the crash is great. In less than three months the 1'20,000 willebe disciplined sufficiently well to join the veterans, who say they do not like to be mixed with the raw soldiers, on account of the great disorder they are thrown into by those young i ones in any serious affair. There is no doubt but the number waisted will be raised; for all the Marine con scripts, together with all the sailors from the Scheldt, Brest, and Cherburg ships, probably fiom all the lother ports, have been marched to the Rhine, escorted lby the military like prisoners. No loan has yet been announced; however the French are beginning to feel taxation, which annoys them greatly more than tak ing away their sons: for sinless paternal affection op poses, they are enriched by the loss of those whom they had before supported • but their purse visibly Sinks in value by the othen Many possess advantages from the Conscription, as those who remain behind ac quire for their labour a value which increases with the scarcity of woi kmen. In this they are beginning to smart ; every department, every town, is compelled to give what is called a voluntary contribution for the support of the war, and to preserve the integrity of the Great Nation. The Prefects who tolerably will know the depth of each man's purse in their divisian, inform the merchants and others, that a certain sum is expected from them, and they will send an autho rised officer to receive it. I have heard that Paris was to furnish 6,000,000 of francs; Bruges 2,000,000. They assess the towns rather from their supposed wealth than from their population. All the enemy's ships are gone to Antwerp from Flushing, which shows how much they are exerting themselves to pro cure men, as at least 2000 will be obtained from these ships, each of which will only require three or four men to attend them. The crews they either send di rgct to the army, or place them in garrison at Ant *lmp ; replacing others whom they march away : can One, therefore, be surprised if by such measures, and such an extent, of territory, numerous armies are raised ? But the morale is bad ;-4 frigates have left the Texel. not for the purpose of annoying us, so much as to get them and their Dutch crews in a safe port—already does the Government expect a change in Holland—not from the inhabitants so much, as from the entrance in, and occupation of it by the Allies. Never had a tyrant more insensible subjects, and never were subjects so worthy of oppression.--. They see the Allies at their gates, and yet their energy is not awakened; and neither in Holland, or the Netherlands, are there any regular troops—they are slaves, and worthy to be so-10,000 Austrians marched lately through Verdun—they use them ra ther cruelly as prisoners." _ -THE NEW LOAN: The Cendemen Who have formed tLi st, • be New waited Upon the Cnatrtzt.t.on of the Excintouirs 'll4 morning, at 1$ o'clock, to be informed relative to the New Loan; and the manner in which it was io be bid for, or whether k was intended to be a close bidding. —The CHAHCALLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that the new Loan was to be a supply for the present year, and for the year 18I4: That the Contractors of the former Loan were to have the perference, inasmuch as he would, tomorrow, state to them the sum he wanted, and the terms required; and in case of their rejecting Ilk terms, then the bidding was intended to be open for all those wished to bid. • A report reached Town this morning from Per. mouth of the total defeat of the Britisii Flotilla Sir JAMES Yzo, on Lake Ontario ; tont we h son to believe no such disaster, has occurred Government have no intelligence on the stt NAVAL !N'IELLIGENC ,.

A new farce was produced last night, and the name, as well indeed as the plot, have at least the merit of novelty. It was called The Invisibk Bridegroom. It is intended chiefly, and that intention is accomplished, as a vehicle for the versatility and ventriloquism of MATTHEWS, who sustains the principal character.—The short story is, that the invisible but not invincible Captain Squander is engaged to be married, but unluckily, just in the act of leaping into the arms of hii love, he leaps into the arms of a bailiff, and exchanges the fetters of ma trimony for the fetters of law. The main business of the piece is to account for the failure of the hero in his appointment with the lady, which is done by seve ral ingenious contrivances of his servant Shit A, (NI AT. THEWS) who personates many characters to maintain the deception. The explanation of the tide is that the Hero of the piece, stunge as it may seem, is neither seen nor heard from beginning to end, although he and his affairs occupy nearly the whole of the piece. The result of course is the happy release and marriage of the Captain. There is an underplot of a young lawyer, who is always raking instead of reading, and compelling his old uncle to pay his tailor's bills, pre tending that the charge is for law books. The uncle, however, suddenly enters his nephew's chambers, and discovers a veil and letters, that betoken the study of love and not of law. There are several new and ludi crous situations, which shew a good deal of invention and ingenuity on the part of the author; and the di alogue is generally spirited and well maintained.— The author is greatly indebted to the exertions of the performers.—The Piece was given out, but not with out opposition, for this evening.
