On the day before yesterday the corps d'armee of Eckinuhl quitted its strong position on the Stecknitz, and evacuated Ratzeburg, Mollen, and Lubeck, which places are taken possession of by the Allies. The cause of Eckmulll's retreat is said to be the banes having left him and retired into the territory of Holstein. Eckmuhl will now most probably de fend himself to the utmost in Hamburgh, as consi derable works have been constructed there, and means of inundation fully prepared, in case of need, but I which an early winter will render useless. '44 ' How many hecatombs of human victims will this 'Moloch again require before Russia pours forth her population from the White Sea and Siberia to adv.!): cate the cause of suffering mankind ? Once more we repeat, we see no chance for a pesul manent or secure Peace while BONAPARTE and • his; creatures conduct the Government of France. Let the Allies, therefore, advance boldly and vigorously against the foe, having the example of the Great Wm.- unCtoss before their eyes, paying the unfortunate •inhabitants every where for their provisions and other necessaries, leaving the Civil Authorities every where M the full exercise of their functions, and " making w be felt as a scourge," as the Archduke CHARLES said of the great and good General MOREAU, " only .n the field of battle!" . It is in this way that BONAPARTE and the recreant crew who stirrotrnd his person, will be best extirpated' —they will receive their punishment frost those who are perhaps best entitled to inflict it, and the Al lies will be saved from the charge of assassination. so lavishly made against all who wish well to their countries and to mankind, by the obstinite admirerel of the Napoleon dynasty, and the hopeful tactics. which now shrieks out the watch-word of PEACE WITH BONAPARTE. The character of these dunghill fowls is most isk mirably drawn by the pen of the immortal IlunKE- 1 1 it was at an early period of the French Revolution that this great luminary of the . human race foresaw ' 'the mischievous durability of this cold'-blooded fac 'tion, and he thus denouncedZern to posterity : " Such men can serve no cause, for this plain rea son—they have no cause at heart. They can at best work only as mere mercenaries. They have not been guilty of great crimes ; but it is only because they have not energy of mind to rise to any height of wickedness. They are not hawks or kites ; they are only miserable fowls whose flight is not above their dunghill or henroost.• But they tremble before the authors of these horrors. They admire them at a safe and respectful distance. There never was a mean and abject mind that did not admire an intre pid and dexterous villain. In the bottom of their hearts they believe such hardy miscreants to be the only men qualified for great affairs if you set them to transact with such persons, they are instantly sub-1 deed. They dare not so much as look their antago nist in the face. They are made to be their subjects, not to be their arbiters or controllers. These men to be sure can look at atrocious acts without indigna tion, and can behold suffering virtue without sym pathy. Therefore they are considered as sober dis passionate men. But they have their passions, though of another kind, and which are infinitely more likely to carry them out of the path of their duty. They are of a tame, timid, languid, inert temper wherejer the welfare of other: is concerned. In such causes, as they have no motives to action, they never possess any real ability, and are totally destitute of all resource." MS. MILLS and Mr. YEWICAS, two King's Messen gers, arrivid in Downing-street this morning from the Hague, which place they left an the 20th. They bring dispatches from Lord CLANCAIITY ) but they contain no news. It is reported in the City that amounts have been received from the Marquis of Wa.t.tNovorr, stating, that he had driven Sow.? from his entrenched camp, compelling him to abandon Bayonne to its fate, the French army taking the road to Bourdeaux ; and that a number of foreign troops in his army had de serted to our army. It is also-reported in the City, that Lord CASTLE- Rzacu sets off this evening for the Head-quarters of the Allied Army, and to proceed from thence to Switzerland, where a Congress is to be held for a General Peace. Among the absurd reports at the Stock Exchange this morning, it was said. that Preliminaries of Peace had been signed at Frankfort! These reports, however, bad a great influence upon the Funds, as Omnifim was done in the early part of the day as high as 14 per cent. premium, and at noon was at 1%. -ADM MOO* MiIbabIIMIStAIIAILS.

" CADIZ, NovEMßEitst. 4 , Yesterday the Supreme Board of Health reported to the Cortes, that the daily deaths in Cadiz do not exceed the usual number in ordinary times : and that there can be no inconvenience in declaring at the end of the month, that city to be free from contagion. —By the weekly statement, there app.: iri to be at present 81 cases of the prevailing fever, 9 of which are serious ones. " GIBRALTAR, DEC. 2. " The fever now has so much decreases' that not above two persons on an average are taken ill daily, and we are in hopes that in a fortnight's time the Garrison will be declared healthy. Ensign Clu&be, of the 26th Regiment, died this morning of the fever. " All the artificers and labourers, with their fami lies, have entirely escaped the disease, to the number of SOO, by living in the dock-yard, and keeping themselves in strict quarantine, though it ha's attacked every house in the street inside of the walls, within thirty yards of the dock-yard. This singular fact has been a fatal blow to the Bancroft theory of the yellow fever, and which is now ridiculed by every person here. In ten days time the Churches and Courts of Justice are to be opened. ,“ All the housis in town are fumigating and white washing, to extirpate the remains of the contagion. All who had the fever in 1804, hive compleatly es caped this time, to the number of 3200, with one doubtful exception—of the remaining 5000 inhabi- tants who have remaiced, not above forty have es caped an attack."

The Congress, American frigate, was at Sierra on the sth September, where she had taken on board a Large supply of provisions, but where she had been or where she was bound, no one could tell. A convoy was to sail from Rio Janeiro two days after the Packet, under convoy of three frigates. " The Express packet, alcove-mentioned, is from Cadiz and Coronas, two days from the latter. " The Duke of Montrose packet, also above men darted, has just arrived, after having been captured by two French frigates, and given up to the crew." There is no credit attached to the report of the above captures, at the Admiralty. Tuesday, the 2d battalion of that distinguished old regiment the 36th, under tbe command of Captain CROSS, marched from Blachington to Lewes Barracks. The 241 battalion, 63d Regiment, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Lord BtJRGHERSH, now stationed at Ipswich, has received orders to hold itself in readi ness to march to Harwich, there to embark on board transports for Holland. This-morning, at seven o'tlock, a fire broke out at Mr. Wilson's, a linen-draper, is King -street, Mino ries, and before any assistance could be obtained, either from the neighbours or the engines, which were 'on the spot within a few minutes after it begun, the whole of the extensive building, and the valuable stock of drapery, were entirely consumed.
