PARIS, AUGUST 16. • Yesterday was a glorious day for Frenchmen : the inhabitants of Paris in an especial manner proved that the anniversary of the birth of their august Sovereign was for them the fete of love and gratitude. In the evening, the Theatres, which were opened gratis, offered the most animited, the most touching picture. All•the remarkable passages in the plays were laid hold of by ►he good sense of the people with great discrimination : in short, they applauded the couplets sung in honour of their Majesties with that frank and lively enthusiasm, which is only the offspring of the heart. On the day of the fete, at six in the morning, can non gave the signal for pleasure and joy. New benefits still added to the lively effusion of those sen timents ; for en all those solemnities dedicated to Napoleon-le-Grand, he is pleased to found for his people useful monuments. Thus, last year, on the 15th of August, was laid the first stone of the. Palace of the University and Fine Arts, and that of the Pa lace for the limpet ial Archives. This year, on the same day, the navigation of the canal of the Ourcq • between Paris and Claye was opened ; and the first stones have been laid for the markets of St. Germaine, Carmes, and Blancs-Manteaux. We will not here enumerate the vast conceptions every year executed, for the public utility, and terminated at this happy epoch, not only at Paris, but throughout all parts of the empire. The creation of the port of Cherbourg is one of those memorable events, the eclat of which is lost in the midst of the immense rays of glory which surround our invincible Emperor ; but it alone would be sufficient to immortalize another Sovereign. NAPLES, AUGUST 2. The town of Naso, in Sicily, situate near Cape Or land, his begun to refuse obedience to the new Sici lian Government, This town has a population of 10,000 persons. The inhabitants have already by main force resisted the troops sent to restore tranquillity And good order among them. They have fortified them selves, placed artillery upon their walls, and formed a corps of four thousand combatants. The Sicilian Government demanded a reinforcement of troops from the English, to subdue this town ; but the English replied, they cotild not interfere in such affairs. Serious troubles hale also broken out in Palermo. The dearness of provisions was the occasion of them. The people went to the prisons, and took for their auxiliaries the individuals detained in them. Thirty proms perished in this tumult. Many others have been arrested. Two individuals, known for chiefs of the sedition, were executed two days ago. GENOA, JULY 44. Captain Barthelemy Cassingens, who left Malta on the 3d inst. arrived at Leghorn on the 16th, and an. nounced, that at the moment of his departure, the plague continued its ravages in that island, and that the number of victims was from 18 to 20 daily. FRANKFORT, AUGUST S. The Grand Duke has, by an Edict, dated the 10th of July, ordered a forced loan to be exacted, to be applied towards defraying the expences of the mili tary preparations. This loan, the capital of which is not yet determined, is to be exacted from all citizens and other persons domiciled, at the rate of one per cent. upon the declared capital.

Our official Gazette contains the following article upon the plague which has desolated the southern provinces ot Russia : , 4 It was in the month of July, 1812, that slight symptoms of the plague were observed in the Crimea. In the middle of the month of August they burst forth publicly at Odessa : some measures were taken to arrest this terrible calamity, but although the city was put under quarantine, the distemper did not spread with less rapidity, in particular quarters and environs, from the Baltic to the Bug. It coTmitted frightful ravages in the villages. In the city of Odessa it carried off 2,600 individuals, and upwards of 3,000 in the remainder of the province. At length it ceased on the frost setting in last year. There were only two sick in the month of December, and in Fe- bruary last the quaritnine was raised." GENERAL ORDERS BY THE CROWN PRINCE. " Stralsund, Head-quarters. 44 In the interval afforded by the prolongation of the armistice, it h the earnest recommendation of his Royal Highness, that the Commanding Officers of regiments and corps shall devote their attention to improve the discipline cf theft men, exercise them in military manoeuvres, and by proper regard to the equipments, render the soldiers efficient and able take the field at the shortest notice." PROCLAMATION OF MARSHAL SOULT, " TO BC RIAD BY A COMMANDING OFFICILI AT TUX MEAD or coMPANIZS IN EACH aRGIBUNT. 44 Soldiers !—The recent events of the war have induced his Majesty the Emperor to invest me, by an Imperial Decree of the Ist inst. with the command of the armies of Spain, and to honour me with the flats tering title of his 4 Lieutenant.' This high distinctioe . cannot but convey to my mind sensations of gratitude and joy ; but they are not unalloyed with regret at the train of events which have, in the opinion of his Majesty, rendered such an appointment necessary its Spain. 4 , It is known to year jr, Soldiers that the enmity of Russia, roused into active hostility by the eternal enemy of the Continent, made it incumbent that nu merous armies should be assembled in Germany early in the spring. For this purpose were many of your comrades withdrawn. The Emperor himself assumed the . lomMand ; and the arms of Prance, guided by his powerful and commanding genius, achieved' 4 succession of as brilliant victories as any that adorn the annals of our country. The presumptuous hopeh of aggrandisement entertained by the enemy were confounded. Pacific overtures were made; and the Emperor, always inclined to consult the welfare of his subjects, by following moderate council; listened to the proposals that were made. , 64 While Germany was thus the theatre . of great events, that enemy, who, under pretence of siiccouring the inhabitints of the Peninsula, has in reality uevoted them to ruin, was not inactive. He assembled the whole of his disposable force—English, Spaniards,and Portuguese—under his most experienced officers; anti relying upon the superiority of Ins numbers, advanced in three divisions against the French force assembled upon the Douro. With well-provided fortresses in • his front and rear, a skilful General, enjoying the confidence of his troops, might, by selecting good pas sitions, have braved and discomfited this motley levy. But, unhappily, at this critical period, timorous and pusillanimous councils were followed. The fortresses were abandoned and blown up ; hasty and disorderly marches gave confidence to the enemy; and a vete ran army, small, indeed, in number, but great in all that constitutes the military character, which had fought, bled, and triumphed in every province of Spain, beheld with indignation its laurels tarnished, and itself compelled to abandon all its acquisitions—. the trophies of many a well-fought and bloody day. When at length the indignant voice of the troops attested this disgraceful flight, and its Commander, touched with shame, yielded to the general desire. and determined upon giving battle near Vittoria, who can doubt, from this generous enthusiasm, this fine sense of honour, what would have been the result, had the General been worthy of his troops—had he, in short, made those dispositions and movements. which would have secured to one part of his army the co-operation and support of the other ? 64 Let us not, however, defraud the enemy of the praise which is due to him. The dispositions and arrangements of their General have been prompt, skilful, and consecutive. The valour and steadiness of his troops have been praiseworthy. Yet do not forget that it is to the benefit of your example they owe their present military character • and that whenever the relative duties of a French General and his troops have been ably fulfilled, their enemies havecommonly had no other resource than flight. 44 Soldiers !—I partake of your chagrin, Tour grief, ' , Our indignation. I know that the blame of the present situation of the army is imputable to ethers; be the merit of repairing it your's. I have borne testi mony to the Emperor of your bravo" , and zeal. His instructions are to drive the enemy from those lofty heights which enable him proudly to survey our fertile Tallies, and chace them across the Ebro. • 6 It is on the Spanish soil that your tents must ppm be pitc4e4d,. and from thence your resour-
