Btib 43. die. par We have as yet no arriVais from the Notch, with dispatches from the Allied Armies, more recent than those which detailed the battle of Dennevitz, and the iv-advancement upon Dresden of the Bohemian army. The interest excited by the meagre statements in the French Journals has died away, and in this sickness of the heart, arising from 4 , hope deferred," the busy admirers of •the 8 , sublime genius" of NAroceorr the Great ire at their dirty work again, weaving cob. Webs for their Patron's amusement, in which to enve. lope the Allies, We are now told, by the prognos. ticators of eternal foul weather—by these perpetual' change-ringers on their country's misfortunes both at home and abroad, that the Austrian army is len. guid in its military operations, and that the Austrian ttarettoa, and his Cabinet, are disposed to make a separate peace t thur leaving the Allies to fight out the deliverance of Germany by 'themselves. Those who wish lor these sudden reverses of fortune, are the pareuts of such ignominious falsehoods : they are not founded even upon the vestige of a rumour; and are merely propaated by the listless and languid fre quenters of the coffee-horse, because ) like other makers of mischief, they have nothing else to do. What has Austria done to incur our displeasure, that her Sovereign, nay her whole population, should , be thus libelled with impunity ? Is the glorious Ma nifesto put forth by that Power so speedily to be Toe gutters..-and have all the bright prospects held out by it vanished. into thin air like the baseless visions of the Enchanted Island ? Is it not worthy to be had in perpetual remembrance, that the Emperor of All em.% has pledged himself " before GOD, his People, his Contemporaries, and Posterity," to rescue the world from that " cruel system" which t has " plunged Europe into a state of poverty, impotence, and bar barity." But if Austria makes a separate peace, it is not the line of the Elbe, but the shores of the Baltic must he the northern boundary of the French Empire.-- See bow sternly the Tyrant retains Cie Prussian for tresses within his grasp, and with how much despe ration he clings to the 32d military division of the French Empire: " a boundary," as the Emperor of AUSTRIA accurately terms it, " drawn by blind Ca price—without rule, without plan, and ..-thout any Consideration of ancient or modern peliiical relations." For what has Austria gone to war !—Look at her M-ntifesto. Has she gained a single point which she Mooted in that celebrated document ? Are the Hanse Towns set free ? Is Germany declared once more independent ? In a wotd, is France beat back within her ancient liniits ?—Aye, but (say these croakers) the Austrian armies have been beaten before Dresden—they are sick of the contest. What did the gallant spirit of MOREAU dictate upon the sub ject, before it took its flight to another world—"Ce n'at /as us revers ; c'ut un decouns."—" Our plans are not torn; they are merely slit a little," said this great man in his dying moments. Strange, that a beaten army should be able next day to detach 50,000 men in the direction of Leipsic, and debouche day by day from the passes with the , remainder to harass the enemy I—Proofs of languor and disaffection to the cause with a vengeance. Let us not embrace the monstrous paradox that Austria will make a separate peace, 'ere we examine the resources and try the muscular strength—the giant sinews with which she takes the field. We take not into the account her'welhdisciplined armies—bar experienced Generals, and the gallant spirits of her soldiery —nor do we calculate upon the celd and fastidious reasonings of diplomatists as pledges at her perseverance in the contest : Nay, let us banish for a moment limn our vPew the exhi firating picture which the plains of Toplitz exhibit, in the persons of three magnanimous and insulted Sovereigns, uniting their energies to give those blessings to their people without which patrio• tism and loyalty are but empty sounds. Let us push side for a moment these btilliant considerations, pon which our hopes might be fairly pillowed, and )ok to far more solid and more inexhaustible engines f deliverance. The injured population of Europe is rouscd—the I pirits of their fathers have appeared in arms before hem.—the ghosts of ROPER, SCHILL, PALM, and .'Emoutzu, have risen in awful succession—the wi. lowed and childless matrons of Germany supplicate he favour of HEAVEN upon their warriors, and the egitimate Sovereign of Germany (the once dignified ..'hicf of the Holy Roman Empire), acting like the iligh Priest at the altar of Liberty and Independence, pours wine and oil into the sacred flame of Insurrec. :ion. In his Manifesto he tells the world, that's every where the ardent desires of the people anticipated the proceedings of their Governments, and that their im patience to live in independence, and under their own laws—the sentiment of wounded national honour, and she hatred of a foreign dominion, bad broken out in aln gin flame on all sides."—m The necessity of this war." his Majesty forcibly adds, "s is eagraven on the .heart of every Austrian and every European, under ~. cdtate+rit dtithinittit he may INN id meta kill3le CI ratters, that no atticincidisits to deeyphet therm ° Thelltlorious ennsiof the Allies is ptotthtinted to be a an idiots established by tonsmon netessity, and by the tnnttnd intetest Cf every power ;" and a !D -iann appeal is tnade to Hzatinnfot its interference! , The Emperor oflturrntn has thus let loose his people upon their oppressor.—Already do we bear of 44 Austrian Colonels, Partisans, and Marauders" scouring the country bet Ween the Elbe and the Rhine —making war uon their own account, ,after the manner of Sentu.," Sand yet u eating and drinking with the inhabitants, and doing them no harm I" Happily' this holy flame may spread into a whirl wind, and envelope the modern CHARLEMAGNE in the conflagration ! Happily for mankind, some indig nant student of Halle or Gottingen—some high-born Saxon, banished from the seats of learning by the u ,sublime genius" of the age, and called into the field of battle by the groans of his country and of his captive Sovereign—may recollect the sublime and beautiful episode of Livit, and ask permission to visit Dresden I " In CaMI basal= Madre 'IOIO...IVIAJOI PACINIIII In ammo 4 Bent 1." Some private advises have been received from Paris one day later than the last French Papers, and up to that day no further intelligence had reached that capital from the Head-quarters of the French Army. The speech of the American President at the Meet ing of Congress in August last, is in town. It is taken from the National intellizencer of the 12th, and is very long. It breathes a persevering spirit of host lity to Great Britain. Our limits do not permit us to give it at length to-day. It shall appear, if possible, to-morrow. Yesterday his Royal Highness the Paiwct RE MINT held a Court at Carlton• House. Soon after two o'clock the BISHOP of LONDON was introduced to . his ROYAL HIGHNESS in his closet, by the Secretary of State for the Home Department, and did homage before his ROYAL HIGHNESS, and the usual oath was administered to him. General Sir GEORGE Timm was introduced to the PRINCE by Lord Viscount &MOUTH, upon his being created a Baronet, and at the same time kissed hands on his being appointed to the command of the Forces in Ireland, in the room of General HOPE. Afterwards the PRINCE ItEGENT held a Privy Coun cil, which was attended by his Royal Highness the Puke of CLARENCE, the Earl of CLANCARTY, Lord Viscount Stosreivirtr, Lord ST. HELEN'S, Mr. Vett sITTART, and Mr. Hit.kv ADDINGTON. The Brsuop of LoNooN was introduces to the Council,, and sworn in a member, and took his seat at the Right Honourable Board accordingly. Lord Viscount SIDIROUTH had ;l long Audience of the PRINCE. Lord PETER‘IIAM, and Colonel BRADYL, were the Lord And Gtot.in in Waiti4lg. Yesterday afternoo:t tt , e Earl of BArsionsr arrived in town from Goodwood, and transacted business at hit Office. Captain LAvcrx, of the 294 grenadiers, the. brave , atid humane French Officer wh • nobly snatched from the brink of destruction, at the imminent hazard of his own life, two English Officers, at the siege of St. Sebaskidn's, was restored to liberty almost as soon as he reached the depot at Abergavenny, and has re ceived his passports to return to France. Yesterday the Burgesses for the City and Liberty of Westminster held their annual feast at the King's Atms Tavern, New Palace Yard. The Fort William, Sir William Burrows, and Cornwall (country ships), are expected to sail for India about the end of the present month, under the protection of the PRESIDENT frigate, which, we under. stand, is appointed by Government to take out Lieu tenant-General Sir Trios/as Hiscop, Commander in Chief of the forces on the Bombay establishment.— None of the regular Indiamen are expected •to sail hence for any part of India before January or Fe bruary. Several homeward•hound Indiamen are ex pected to arrive in a short time. At the examination we stated to have taken place before the LORDMAYOR, on Saturday, we understand the Counsel for the parties preferring the charge, applied for farther delay, on the ground of the ab sence of a material evidence ;—this, however, his Lordship thought proper to decline granting, and crnceiving . a sufficient case had not been made out, refused to interfere. The Committee of Gentlemen at Derby, who had the management of MrAirmsts's balloon, which tailed at that place, in consequence of wh ich a riot ensued among the populace, _have prevailed upon Mr. SAD LER to gratify the people there, with an ascent that will probably be more successful. That aeronaut is now on his way to Derby with the balloon which ascended at Cheltenham. He has another of such dimensions as to be capable of raising twelve men into the upper regions of the atmosphere ; and with it he means to . make an excursion across the Channel' to IrtlAnd. It is said to be in contemplation very considerably to extend the Dock yard at Portsmouth. The plan was submitted to Lord MELVILLE, during his recent visit, and approved of by the Admiralty and Navy Boards. A new mast-house is to be constructed in range with the .South store, extended to the low water mark. On the north part of Common Hard is to be erected a wall down to low water mark, inside of which is to be a boat pound. It is also said, that it is in contemplation to take that part of the town of Boma, called tEe New-buildings, into the Dock yard. From the same source we have also heard, that an intention exists of forming, on South-sea Com mon, an extensive establisment for the Royal Matinee, their present barracks being much confined, and in. capable of affording sufficient accommodation. The new fortification at Hilsea will be constructed on Hilsea-green. It will be recollected that Pasha spent voted a large sum for the purpose last Session. .. . . -~ • PtMll l / 4 4 ;51.11,A., • - The wind, which has long been front the N.E: having changed to the Southward, we may expot a qtiich succession of iatelligeace trout the North ot Spain.

Lord WELLtworost is once more said to have en.' tered France with three divisions of his army. We have seen private letters from the army, which state that the pontoons and other field equipments were preparing, with which to pass the Bidassoa, in order to open the Campaign 7N FRANCR, where the, eipected to be in three days. Mr. ROBERrSON, the Messenger, arrived this day at Lord BATHURST'S Office, in-Downing -street, With dispatches from Lord WELLINGTON, containing ac -1 counts from Lord WILLIAM BaNnNat's army, from which it appears, that the French having concen trated their forces, had, on the 13th ult. attacked his Lordship's advanced guard,. and gained a mo mentary advanteie. The enemy, 'however, could not maintain his new gretind, and afterwards re• treated beyond the Lobregat. The following Bul letin presents the particulars made known in the Government Offices GOVERNMENT BULLETIN. ••••=1.11M• WAR DEPARTMENT. " FOREIGN OFFICE, OCT. 6, MS. a Dispatches have been received num Field Mar shal the Marquis of WELLINGTON, dated Lezaca the 27th ultimo, inclosing reports from Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK, of tle 15th and 17th September. From these it appears, that the enemy having collected a very superior force in front of his Lordship's army, made attack eusly on the rimming of the 13th, au. in the advanced guard posted at the Pass of Ordal. , g The advance consisted of the 2d Battalion of the 27th Regiment, the Calabrian Free Corps, four Rifle Companies of the King's German Legion, a brigade of Portuguese artillery, amounting together to 1100 men, and three Spanish regiments, who, kr several hours, made a most gallant and successful resistance; but being at length overpowered by the numbers of the troops opposed to them, were compelled to give way. “ The loss sustained will, it is believed, not prove ultimately very considerable, as many of those men who had been compelled to shelter themselves in the mountains, had since rejoined the army. The rapid advance of the enemy rendered it necessary to aban don two. field pieces and two mountain gulls. On the 14th Lord W. BENTINCIC deemed it adviseable to retire the army to Vendrelc, and from thence to the neighbourhood of Tarragona. •, The retreat was effected, without any loss, not withstanding the attempts of the enemy's superior cavalry, which were uniformly repulsed by the charges made by the 20th Light Dragoons, and the Huuars of the King's German Legion. The enemy, finding that no impression could be made, retired on the 17th behind' the Lobregat.
