The details in the Geeette .Extraordinary are so pre cise that an attempt to elucidate would only darken them. It is one of the felicities of the Marquis of WELLINGTON, that he not only quickly arranges v, ith' a comprehensive eye, the movements that .are • calcu lated to insure victory, but is able.to convey to others -SO ample, yet perspicuous a detail of his operations, as to defy all illustration. It is hardly possible to anticipate the effect which this disctirpfiture of the French must have on the for tune* of the ambitious NAPOLEON. It is known; that on . hearing of the defeat of JOtiRDAN, at Vit.; `. toils, he instantly dispatched an order to. Some - to take the command, with a higher commission than bad Over been before conferred on any of his Mat tbals; that of his Lieutenant.

He might have enjoyed all the advantages of the Spanish dominions, in both hetnispheres, and conti nued - to draw contributions also from."

The: same kind of *prate and destructive war that POsiApARTE, Yielding-to the impetuosity of his temper, rather this° to tbe dictates of cool reason and calculation, had kindled in Spain, he determined to carry into the he pf the Itustian Empire. The - Russians resolved tint to be discouraged by any sue- . cess that the enemy might obtain on the frontier, or even many leagues within the frontier. Thep perms., vered in this determination, and taught other nations that such a plan, acted on with firmness, May defy the frantic ambition of AoNarAters--who must him ?. self be sensible of this, and lie constrained to tower his tone in any conference of treaty for a general pa: cification, Them are at resent grounds for gawp, ting this ; if the Powers Concerned do net blindly prt. for selfish, fallacious, and certainly fogacious iota r e s ts to the geheral good of Europe—He hag meta- . mophosed Electors into Kings- r -Royal -Slaves 1-, wearing their Crowns in fetters!

The Northern Powers who, if we may pse the ign-e, have for some time beep in the act of waking from sleep, must, one would think, be now fully roused to the exercise of their long slumbering ener gies, The glorious intelligence must soon be known to them, freed from the disguise of french colouring, and the effect will be to make the nations of Europe not only view the publications of the Tyrant without apprehension, but treat them with scorn and contenipt.
