" It pleasid tie Royal'Highness whilst at Heili ganstadt, to receive a deputation from the University and Magistracy of the city of Gottingen, avhceare sent to express the sentiments of the inhabitants, and their hopes of soon beholding them within their walls. On the Ist November the head-quarters were removed • to Gottingen. The Magistrates and armed Burghers received the Crown Prince . at the . gates, the toxin • bells ringing during the while, the air resdundectwith the joyful acclamations of the inhabitants, who have flocked in crowds to meet his Royal Highness.— Young women dressed in white, and With garlands of laurels in their hands, assembled at the former hotel of the Prefecturate,. where:his Royal Highness alighted, and formed a row up the .whole of the staircase to his chambers. In the evening the young Students came, followed by the Burghers of the city with torches and music, to offer their obeissance with three cheers. ," The whole city was illuminated. The streets were filled with spectators; who embraced and wished each other joy, heartily shaking the Swedish soldiers by the hand—never were more lively or heartfelt ex pressions of joy and eratitinie given. d' The love, joy, and admiration of the good Ita noverians, have constantly attended his Royal High ness from his first entrance into this country. In many of the smatter places the inhabitants had no other means of expressing their feelings than by chil dren, and flowers; but even these simple acknowledg- Inents, as proceeding from the heart, were received with kindness. 64 On the 6th inst. his Royal Highness arrived at Hanover. The Duke of Cumberland, . who arrived there two days before, went to meet his Royal High ness to the outer part of the suburbs. A considerable corps ef armed burghers, with white handkerchiefs round their hats and on their left arms, stood drawn up in parade. 46 The cannon were fired, and all the, bells were \ rung. The windows of the houses were filled with ladies, who, patticipating in the general joy, saluted the liberator of their native country with the warmest expressions of emotion and gratitude. All the inha. bitants of the city and of the adjacent country had assembled in the streets, and who, under the conti nual reiieration of .4 Long life to the... Crown Prince of Sweden," accompanied Op suite to the Palace of Montbrill.int, where his Royal Highness descended. In the evening the city Was brilliantly illuminated. A great number of transparencies were exhibited, the sentiments of love and loyalty to the lawful Sove reign of the country, of joy for its liberation, and gratitude towards its liberator, were. here in many places blended together in one affecting picture. It is impossible to describe the tumult of the public joy on the presence of his Royal Highness. The man ner in which all hearts flew to meet him, proves that the remembrance of earlier benefits is joined with gratitude for the present, and the army with noble pride sees its exalted beloved General surrounded by these acknowledgments ; he who after the curse of nearly 200 years, has again, and on the same ground and spot, given to the name of 4 4 a Swede," the same meaning as that of , 4 a Defender of the Liberty and IndepinJence of the German Nations." What re proaches, what'dreadful stings of conscience, must not have filled the soul of Napoleon, could he have been an invisible spectator of that enthusiasm which, whilst it brought its tribute of gratitude and admira tion to the liberator, expressed, at the same time, an equally audible sentence of Condemnatidn against the oppressor and his deeds. The Swedish army is now resting itself, after its fatigues, and, for the moment, enjoying that repose of which it stood in so great need. They have performed long and fatiguing marches with worn.out shoes, and clothing. in not much better condition, and in bat roads. Yet never. theless, the Swedish troops here, about 121000 min in number, and on which his Royal Highness held a review, appeared to great advantage to the numerous spectators, by their fine conduct and discipline. The sew...al articles for their re-equipment are just arriv ing, and this army, fully provided with all necessa ries, will soon proceed on it glorious career, where ever it may be called by the command of its King, the Interest of its native country and the welfare of nations." CASSEL, NOVEMBER a, The following proclamation has been published here by his Serene Highness the Electoral Prince : Hz...sons—l again call-y*4s by your name, which you had lost, as well as that. of Germans ; but you had not lost your fidelity and attachment to your Princes.

" The Emperor Napoleon had, when he retired with his army to the vicinity of Leipsic, left Marshal St. Cyr's corps in Dresden, in order to remain master of that strong place, and of the Elbe, until the battle which was expected, and the fortunate issue of which he seemed confidently to calculate upon, should have permitted him to return towards the Elbe. The loss of that battle must have necessarily caused the fall of Dresden. In order to accelerate it, .the Commander in Chief, Prince of Schwartzenberg, deemed it neces sary to reinforce the Russian Lieutenant-General Count Tolstoy, who had been left by the General of Cavalry, Baron Benningsen, in the environrof Dres. den. He appointed for that purpose the corps of the General of Cavalry Co unt Klenau, who, on the 20th of October, marched with the troops under his com mand for that destination. In•the mean time, Mar shal St. Cyr had quitted Dresden by the left bank o f , the Elbe, with the greater part of his corps ; but Count Klenaeeonjointly with Lieutenant-General Count Tolstoy, drove him back into the city, and shut him up there. Marshal St. Cyr perceived that his situation was extremely critical, and on the 6th No. vember he attacked the corps of Field-Marshal Prince Von Wied Kunkel, who blockaded the city on the right bank of the Elbe. "The project of the enemy was to penetrate to Torgau, and abandon Dresden as untenable. The vigorous resistance of the troops under the orders of Prince Von Wied Kunkel, baked all the attempts of the enemy, and obliged him once more to retire within Dresden. The situation of the enemy was despe rate. Having neither provisions nor ammunition, he found himself compelled to offer, without any sum. mons on our pan, a c tpitulation to Gen. Count Kle. nau. In the proposals made by Marshal St. Cyr,' he declared his corps prisoners of war, but on condi. tion of being allowed to return to France, and, at the conclusion of six months. of again serving the allied powers. Gen. Count Klenau intimated to him in writhe, that he had no power to grant conditions so advantageous, and that he had reason to fear that he might be rendered responsible if he did so. But this declaration did not prevent Marshal St. Cyr from re. newing his proposals of capitulation : though, as an exptricnced General, he might have foreseen that the Commander in Chief, Marshal Prince SChwartaen. berg, would not accede to them, " By virtue of this capitulation, which was signed on the 11th, the garrison was allowed to return freely into France, upon condition of not serving for six months against the Allied Powers. It was to have marched in six columns. The first left Dresden on the 12th ; the last was to depart on the 17th. The desire of sparing the city, and of being able to con duct his troops to another destination, coul4 haver aloof determined General Count Klenau to sign a capitulation, which was directly contrary to the or ders he had'previously received from the Field Mar shal the Commander in Chief. The Field Marshal is therelnie placed under the-very disagreeable neces sity of disapproving of the condrict of the General of Cavalry, Count Klenau, and of refusing to ganction this capitulation. The General of Artillery, the Mar quis 4: Chancier, has, in consequence, receives or.

Mt. HORNER moved the Committee on the Per. imago Insolvent Debtors' Bill. Mr. LOCKHART wished that the Contan* should be postponed till Monday, in order that the House might be better able to consider what Amend ments it might be necessary to make in the-Bill. He tairewlooked over it with attention, and bad • it many things which required to be amended. ?Wilt* was, that the debtor must first swear to his schedule, and then be examined touching the troth of it afterwards. This - he considered incongruous, and likely to lead men to perjure themselves. The state. meat in the schedule of the apparel of the petitioner's wife and family would lead to great inconvenience. The inventory would, in many instances, be 'err long, and take up a great deal of time, His tie= objection was, that the debtor was not to be dis. charged until he had made an assignment of his pro perty to the, proper officer. Now he understood, this* 1 nobody would accept of the office, because, whoeve 1 ; did, would be involved in constant litigation sespeci.... ing . the property so assigned to him. A great incom. venience would arise from the debtor being brough i a ' up to be discharged in the custody of the jailor : ill I would occasion a great expense, when the place- sc discharge was at a distance from -the place of tklt ' debtor's confinement. In this Bill also there wag n . 9 • exemption made from the duty on stamps, as in t former. The serving of notices on each of the ered - tors, he thpught, would be tedious and expensive, an the insertion of the debtor's schedule in the Gazette and in the newspapers, would be quite sofficiente4 For these reasons he requested the Hon. Gentlerna would allow the Committee.on the Bill to stand ove ' I till Monday, when he should produce some clauset Iwhich he hoped would Obviate these defects. Mr. HORNER. said, that if the Hon. Gentlentanl pressed the postponement of the Committee, Its had , little objection to it ; but he would suggest to him. 1 that it was desirable this Bill should pass as coon as 1 possible. It was not to be expected that so, great an Innovation op the law as this was could be made pit. feet at first. He thought the exceptions of the He tn. Gentleman to the Bill required more deliberation than could be given them before the adjournment pf the House, and it was probable that, when they m tt again, experience would point out other improvemen t; to be made in it. I • Mr. KENRICK hoped there would be no impeelf ment throsin in the way of the Bill, as there WAS provision in it for the future amendment of i:, eV ft during the present Session, if necessary. After a few words from Mr. Loccoatrr and N (r. HOHNSIt o the 'House went into a committee on t 1:e PRINCIPAL AATICII4I. ART. 1.

Every thing here is in the greatest confusion. The massacre committed by the French at Woerden, has shocked the minds of every one. What cruelties have these barbarians perpetrated !

LEYDEN, NOVEMBER 21. Is it possible that we have lived to see such horrors? As soon as the French, sent by Molitor from 'Utrecht, had surprised Woerden, they began immediately to massacre and plunder. • Half naked flying women and helpless children were either shot or put to the sword in the streets in cold blood. In the houses which they entered they plundered every •thing, and murdered whatever inhabitants were in them. The pious and devout pastor Buit fell on his • knees before the commander of the murderous band, and begged , him to spare the town; but the cruel monster snatch ed a pistol from his girdle, and shot the Worthy man ' dead on the spot. -.. Our small garrison was over:l whelmed by the enemy t and compelled to fly. All that could reach the gate rushed out of it, in order to save their lives. The brutes have terribly mal- ' treated even pregnant women. Many of- the blood hounds, however, have been killed. Far from this event intimidating our brave • citiaens, it animates them with the desire of taking vengeance on this monstrous crew. I hope I may not be the last to arrive with my company. 0 that I may soon satisfyl the wish of my heart ! NO quarter must be given or I taken.
