STtWA.RT I s and LOrcl.l Assanasts's information. Dresden is abandoned by tge main body of the French army.-.43oumiassva has retreated Upon Leipsic, and the communications bettreert his army - and' Paris, are 1 completely stroyed." A tilpwithic* dispatch' . (mark this new' vehicle of information) reailes Paris onthe 214, Mentz, stating 'that on the _tills, MUltAt s 14E4 and AtI6ERCAI.4 had beatthe enemy “ wherever they met him." Where these occurrences took place we are nbt j told—but we must either believe that the scene of action lay at the distance of a thousand miles, or that the communications between the Saale and Mentz are so inttrrupted, that the moit circuitous of all routes must necessarily be resorted to. Another dispatch (telegraphic also) states, that AUGICREAU'S cavalry sabred or took 800 men between INTaumburg and Weissenfels. This affair was probably that in which Pl./am:es al Death's Head Hussars" ushered thCmselves so unceremoniously into the pre. sence of General Count LIISESVKE DES Nouarres, and ran of with his cannon and two thousand of his men. But where was it the magnanimous Emperor NAPOLEI3N" during all these "brilliant successes?"— This, we have no doubt, Is precisely the first question asked ever' morning at Paris as it is in London.— But neither:an estafette nor a telegraph can now give any information*-The 44 Merchants" of Frankfort and Leipzic are the only persons who know any thing of their munificent Patron, the founder of the Conti nental system. Upon their authority we learn, that Oa the Bth the Wolf was seen near Leipzic—and on or about the XOth had proceeded to Eulenbourg.— this place is half way between Leipzic and Torgau ; and if he took any ty9ops with him, we are inclined to think that the alarm excited at Berlin on the 13th was not without cause. it may be true that on the 10th the.Freach army in acid around Leipzic had offered battle, but it must have•been to the windmills on the Saale, for according to Sir C. STEWART and Lord AnzantEtes dispatches, the Allied Armies could not be in position so early ; besides, they had . chosen their gronnerconsidexably nearer the Rhine. From the French Journals we can learn nothing of the intentions of the leader of their army —escape, !vrever, he cannot from present danger, but by , throwing.a somerset backwards towards Berlin, or forward upon the Rbine: and there w.:5 a time when we could have ventured to predict, that the chances against his falling on his feet were as ten to one.— He has, however, escaped from as forMidable dan. • sers already, and he may probably hope to winter more securely in the Marche of Brandenburgh, thin in the Plains of Saxony—trusting to what he calls his " irrevocable destiny," for ultimate deliverance.. In the me.in time the Allies may extend their armies ever the whole of the fine countries between the Elbe and the Rhine, and the Cossacks will have a 'chance of warming their fingers at'the fire-sides of the Pari . • .iant cid.* • the Oi.titek. We have the littikhdiey of Sir C. STEIVART for saying, that BONAPATITIA will cling to the last moment to the line bf the Elbe—and we perfectly coincide with that acute and intelligent •kserver, in thinking thatareftat towards the Rhine, 1 with " the.eyes tithe alliedatmy" glaring full upon hirn—the Cossacks at his heels, would be too pro ductive of " unpleasant recollections" to be hazarded, while there weie - the least flickerings of h o pe i n t he ) • wings - of the Imperial Eagle. t. A speech from an idiot, calling himself the Prefect of the. Department of the Seine, is so contrived as to libel the memory of the dead, in an invocation to the manes of MARIA l'utaesA, and to take away the good name, and repuiation of the CROWN Pains of Swenast: MARIA LOUISA is reminded that her Grand water was Colonel in the Army,. and her aunt a Justice of the Peace; and she is told with as much truth, that Frenchmen have no rivals in their love for Sovereigns I 44 they cannot live without glory," and g , never shall the Crown of the Emperor be despoiled of its laurels 1" Precious trash ! uttered too perhaps from the lips of a quondam disciple of the butcher Legendre, who swor,e eternal hatred to Royalty "all over the world !" • The attack Upon the CeowrcPerrrez is more “ Ger man to the matte?' than this 'upon the memory of the Grandmother of France. The PRINCE ROYAL of SWEDEN is a more dangerous enemy than the Ghost Of MARIA THERESA. He is, in short,,a perfect Cata. line, according to this booby of a Prefect—who, thank HEAVEN, is himself no CICERO. From the side of Italy we have no military details, but in oneline, we are told that the army of Italy has fallen back upon the Izonzo.—Lest we should riot.comprehend the meaning of this, there next ap pears a Proclamation for a fresh Conscription. All this balderdash, when done into English, means that BEAOHARNOIS has been woefully beaten and driven behind the Izonzo. The Iron Crown—a prominent feature in all modern proclamations from Italy, is again taken from the shelf, to overawe the descend. ants of the Romans. Why nut exhibit the Iron Sceptre also, as an emblem of the mild and placid " NAPOLEON with the Iron Crown ?" Since writing the above, French Papers one day later in date have arrived. They do not contain any news of importance, nor have the Funds been in the least affected by them. Yesterday, at two o'clock, the first Cabinet Coun cil since Ministers came to town to prepare for the meeting of 'Parliament, was held at the Foreign Of fice, which was attended by most of the Ministers.

Monday evening, as the Duke of YORK was re turning from Windsor, through Hammersmith, his carriage came in contact with a brewer's dray, which tore off the pole and splinter-bar of the carriage, with which the four horses set of at full speed.

The Rebels of Santafee o , to the number of 1100 ) have invaded the province of flarinas." PUERTO RICO, AUGUST 4, " Letters received from Caraccas state, that Gene ral Monteverde was, on the 17th, in San Carlos,'op posed - to a body of 3000 men. " From Guayana we have the melancholy news, that the Insurgents, with 1100 men, leaving two di visions behind, had penetrated into the province of Barinas, from which Capital the Military Comman der D. Antonio Tiscar, with the other Authorities, had taken flight. The Governor, with the Civil OffieerE, bad sought refuge in the town of Caicana, I within the boundary of this . province. It appears. that the General was at this critical Moment abandoned by a part of his - troops, who went over to the In surgents. ‘• This event, connected with the progress of the malcontents, . who had entered Guiria and Maturin, hascaystA much consternation, and we have no hope of alleviltioo from' our calamities. Yet under these painful 'circumstances we have made a new effort— mounting SOO cavalry and arming two gun-boats, be sides those out of the river. With only 300 men more, properly provided, we may be able to protect this bulwark of the country. It contributes greatly to our depression, that the rebeli receive assistance, directly from the Peninsula."

Arrived yesterday evening the PoßriA, with a coniroy from Heligoland. All communication with the ships in the Roads being suspended by the tem pestuous weather, it has not been ascertained whether she is the bearer of any fresh intelligence; though it is conjectured not, as the means of communication with the shore by sivals are always available, and any news of importance would have been made known through that channel. • k NOTICE TO MARINERS. A Floating Light is preparing to be moored at the North-West Spit of East Hoyle Sand Bank, in the entrance into the port of Liverpool.' The light will be fed, to distinguish it from all , the tights upon the shore, and will Ix exhibited in a lanthorn hoisted at the main-mast-head of the vessel, and will be lighted for the first time on Wednesday, the ht of December next. In thick and foggy weathei, either by night or day, a bell will be kept constantlrringing, to prevent veseels from running foul of the lightoressel.

It appeared in evidence, that the dace +sett was ordered, on Saturday morning, by .his f other, who is a lightvrman, to take a barge, that lay at the stairs, down to a ship off the Tower ; some time alter hi lett his father's, the barge was found afloat, and in the evening, at low-water, the body was discovered tinder a coal-barge. Verdict—Acci dental Death. ItRIAXRKABLII Majesty's bit MAR TIAL, Lieutenant Leavea, which sailed from Ply mouth, with dispatches and a considerable quantity of stock for the squadron in Basque Roads, on the 13th inst. was forced back on Sunday last, after ex periencing a most narrow escape from destruction in the late tempestuous weather. For three days she was beating about; nearly in sight of the French coast, when; as she was lying -to, about two o'clock P. M. a most tremendous . cross-sea struck her on the lar board quarter, threw her on her beam-ends, and car tied sway her bulwark, spars, &c. In this critical situation she remained some minutes, until by throw ing six of her guns overboard, together with an im mense quantity of potatoes, casks, hampers, &c. by continual bailing and pumping, she was in about an hour cleared of the water, and enabled to stand be fore the wind. But this misfortune was only the pre lude to a greater one. In stetting for the Sound, a wave, more than twenty feet high, in her Inain-rig ging, swept away her starboard quarter-deck.bulwarl, with the jolly-boat, remainder of her spars, booms, tree. killed the corporal of marines, threw her on her broad side, and completely filled her.' She was apparently sinking, and twenty minutes elapsed before the exer tions of those on board had any effect, or any hope of saving the ship could be indulged. Several of the crew were washed off the deck, and returned again by the sea in a half-drowned state, from which they were recovered with the greatest difficulty. At length the brig was lightened, and again bearing away beture the wind, she reached Plymouth a complete wreck. The young man on board the SALVADOR DEL Mw- Do, at Plymouth, who declared himself the sou of the late General MoarAtJ, has been strictly examined; and the fabrications and falsehoods of the impostor being clearly detected, lie was immediately drafted on board the WARSPIIg t 74, and sent to sea. He is a native of Germany, and was burn in Berlin. • • • The Duke dt Yong held Military Leiii44/01tft • day, at his Office, at the tiOrse Guards, which Wail more numerously attended Than on any similar 0ce4•... sion since the prelingaribb of Parlianient.
