An agent assures us that Bonaparte's resources quite prostrate, and the people quite indiffgent. has no wood for guns, nor horses for any thing; rganization of the levy en masse, nor a competent any where to face the Allies. We cannot be we eks without great results. The Allies act much prudence. Some English artillery have entere d, we suppose, to reinforce the troops near The roads all the way through Holland re been crowded with convoys of provisions and ,powder. We are only now coming among the . ies. This is the first place where we have expe :ed military precautions, on passing the draw. iges and entering the [Own. It is, wf believe, of the strongest places in Europe ; we passed, in terißg, three lines of fortifications, with double tches, &c. If the POssians move, forward, we ' 1 be 13russels to-morrow. BREDA, JANUARY 30. The passage over the Bees Bosch was a very great ;city to us ; the ice, which only a few hours before one solid sheet of 100 square miles, was by the . of the S. W. Wind dislocated, and driven about every direction. We were in an ice-boat, some • in the water and sometimes on the ice ; yet , a famous wind and an able skipper, we made miles in 49 minutes. General Bulow left this in the morning for West Wesel on his road to where it is said the Prussians have already . It is curious tei meet in the same coffee. soldiers of all the Northern Nations some with that would be no indifferent cover to the fox, with heads of hair as luxuriant as brambles in There is however something very sublime in allthese fierce nations united together by a sentiment of resistance to despotism. They keen gamblers, and seem to possess prodigious itiei of money, chiefly in Napoleons, and which stake in great heaps on the table. It is wonder see the great agility of the Cossacks, with their feet pikes, their horses are small, and they go DORT, JANUARY 30. In half an hour we proceed to Breda, where Bu , "s head-quarters still are, but whence they will ad i-day towards Brussels, where we hope to enter Englishmen. At Ghent there has been a le revolution, aud 180 G horsemen already or to scour the country. The tide of revolu in Brabant seems' to be rising every where, and ing in the same direction in powerful co-operation the Allies. All the publications in Brabant are in the name of the Prince of.

VZILONA, 'JAN UARY IS. . The qtrantity of snow that has fallen in this part of the . cartnn.has compelled the: different corps to re, tire: The Aitstrians have planted themselves, on the yoke side of the Po, while the Neapolitan troops have been quartered in Bologna. The principal body bf the 'enemy is posted at Ravenna, and Trion is herd as as advanced stittint. It seems probable that the ; Neapolitan troops will not begin to act until the icing takes in person the command. 7 :' THE EVENING STAR.

The French Ge. ittal MAtsom, to whom the ptotection or the above mentioned places was confided, had fallen back upon Tourney with 20,000 men, and Antwerp was so ef fectually surrounded, that the Allies' considered themselves at perfect liberty to' leave It In their rear: It is cenflckmtly stated in Holland, that General Sir THn.MAS GaILHAM I S army Is that to be transferred' to the South .ciF Prance to reinforce Lord WlLLlNG tot—the deriterante of Holland bcidg bow beyond all doubt.

The whole of the Netherlands is thus cleared from The enemieirof commerce, and the intelligence has given much satisfaction to the mercantile interest. Indeed, the agreeable communications of yesterday from Ostend, Were brought by a "vessel Which was .diipatched by the Brabanters expressly for the pur pose.- The French Dottanier who furnished the clear ance coolly.remarked, that he presumed this was the last document of the kind he would-have to sign. Letters of the 4th inst. from Holland, speak of a defeat which the FrenCh have sustained, with the loss, of 85,000 men, and a great number of cannon; but as they do not specify the time or place of this important event, we fear it may prove an exaggeration. Madrid Papers to the 22d ult. have been received. Their chief contents relate to the proceedings of the Government on the subject of the mock Treaty be tween BONAPARTE and FERDINAND VII. L they also -announce the arrival of the celebrated PALAFOX, the Hero of Saragossa, in Spain. He has been released by BONAPARTE, 4,5 a coadjutor to the Duke of SAN CARLOS in the insidious attempt to detach Spain from she cause of the Allies ; but from the sentiments ex-- presied by the Cortes, and the language held by the Spanish Journals, there is no chance that BONAPARTE will succeed in this pitiful ruse. Indeed, we cannot believe that the brave PALAFOX will be aiding and abetting to such an atrocious fraud. The example of the captive Roman General Rucuurs will not be lost upon the Hero of Saragossa, To•day we have given some further extracts from the Halifax Papers,.received yesterday. The disas ters of the Americans are not confined, it would ap pear, to their land operations. Their fleets on Lakes Erie and Ontario have been nearly annihilated by tremendous hUrricanes. Two vessels are sai d to have been drifted down the Falls of Niagara ! Ten ves- sett were lost on Lake Erie, and five on Lake Onta rio v all of them of the largest class. All these mis. fortunes have tended to make the war more unpopu lar than ever in the Northern States. Our Readers hive seen that the American General, WrutiNsom, igs officially declared the PRESIDENT'S resolution to imprison British Officers, on the mon strous plea of protecting British traitors from punish meet. If the PRESIDENT'S resolution be unalterable— and, from his stupid and mulish obstinacy, we can easily believe it is so—the American people, the re flecting and influential part of them at least, are the more imp.einocly called upon to review the grounds on which that resolution is formed. Is it founded on precedent, on authority, on reason, on analogy? If-a' son has fled from hit father, if an indented servant or apprentice has run away from his master, if a wife has eloped from her husband, does it follow, that the person to whom the fugitive chooses to resort has a right to consider his or her prior obligations and duties as absolutely annihilated ? The American professor of improvement in civili zation and morals, however, holds, that there is, in the .ptescut case, no duty, no obligation ; that every in ditidual of full.sage and reasonable capacity has.a tight to elect his country. It may be so in the united States, because dielaw of the United States may have permitted its nativehorn citizens to make such glee. 'don ; but if the law of the individual's native country has giveshim- so, such right, in what code is it to be found ? in none, no, not even in tha,t monstrous pro. duction of crazy philosophy,the French Rights of Man. Actording to the American philosopher, it is to be found in the abstract nature of man ; man in.the ab stract having no country, no sovereign, no allegiance. —Grant this, and what comes of MADISON'S logic ? Let these traitors be considered in their abstract state; and what relation can e exist between. them and. the American Government ? Man in the case put by the President has no relation, no duty, no right, no coun try ; and; if this wiseacre insists on giving to such America as a country, he destroys his abstract qualities. It is impossible that avnan can be without a country, a Sovereign, and the duties of allegiance, and at the same . time have America for his country, MADISON for his Sovereign, and owe allegiance •to the United States. d _ ! • • By. accounts from Jersey yesterday we learn that since the arrival of-the Duke of BERRI in that island, he has been visited by a Priest from the coast of Nor mandy, who had cautioned him against landing either. in that province, or the adjacent districts of Brittany. The clergyman says, that through the entire line of the coast an extra guard has been esta blished for the express purpose of entrapping him, and that a number of -persons have suffered military execution in the neighbourhood, who have been sus pected of a disposition to aid and abet the appearance of any branch of the BOURBON family within the French territory. The Duke, we are told, has listen ed to this .advice, and has for the present abandoned the purpose of 'hazarding his person on French ground; until he can accomplish his design with less danger to the friends and supporters of his family. The Castle, or Chateau, of 'Brienne, which the Moniteur represents as a late conquest of BONAPARTE, ,is by no means a fortified place, but a stately man sion, or castle, belonging to the Brienne family. As well might we say, that the PRINCk REGENT took the Castle of Belvoir by Capitulation, because the key of the strong tower was presented to hirnly the War den. The Cassie of Brief= has still less the appear ante of a fortifieationi stcom) uprrioist, RISE OF bMNIUM. IMPORT THAT THE ALLIES ARE IN PARIS, AND BONAPARTE KILLED. To the statement in the preceding column We have to add, that jdst after this Paper was put to press, Omnium had a sudden rise from 21 to 25 for the pay ment. Various causes are assigned for this, but the most probable is the present state of French Flanders; for by a fresh arrival this day, the intelligence alrgady . •communicated has been fully confirmed. It is impossible far language to describe the bustle and anxiety which prevails upon 'Change, nor is it strange, when the rumours to which every moment gives rise, are considered. Our latest reports from the City have sent the Allies to Paris, and numbered BONAPARTE with the dead. Need we add that such wonderful statements should be received with some degree of hesitation. 1.••••••....1 We again stop the Press, to say, that one cause of the Funds rising so rapidly this day, was the arrival of an express with letters from the French Coast, containing the important information of a most tremendous Battle having taken place on the 4th inst. at Brienne, in which the French were defeated with immense slaughter ; and adding, that they were dis persing in all directions. • The report of BONAPAXTE 9 S death still continues, but he is said to have killed himself. The public confidence in the truth of these state ments increases. We are much inclined to credit the report of the battle at Brienne ; bur we still hesitate to give evidence to the other particulars reported. THE ARMY. The whole seven battalions of the Foot Guards are at this time on foreign service, an occurrence unknoWn in the military annals of Great Britain. Sunday a detachment, consisting of about 189, of the 2d battalion of infantry of the German Legion, arrived at Ramsgate by the line of the coast, from Bexhill. They are to embark for Hanover. Friday, a tranbport, having on board 100 wounded soldiers from LOTd.WELLINGTON'S army! W.as driven r ••••••••06.1LC 11701th.0.1• Saturday the men marched into Canterbury, and yesterday they continued their route for the depots of their respective regiments. We are sorry to hear that that gallant Officer, Lieutenant. Colonel REEVES, of the 27th ;tegimont r who dktinguished himself in the Peninsula, stairs mucg from the effects of his. wounds; the ball has been extracted, but the cloth, &c. is still -lodged in his side. The Hon. Captain GORE, of the 94th Regiment, has lostliis life in a fray, at Vittoria. The circum stances of the case are very differeatly represented ; but it seems, that the fatal event took place in conse quence of the resistance of the deceased to officers endeavouring to put in force an act of the Spanish Magistracy, for the recovery of a female living under his protection. _ Tuesday se'nnight, a detachment of the 70th re giment marched into quarters at Perth, from Dundee, 'where they have been stationed. • The Wrexham Yeomanry Cavalry have resolved, during the absence of so large a portion of his Ma jesty's forces, employed so triumphantly for their country abroad, to aid the civil and military autho , rities, if necessary, by an extension of their ser ♦ices to any part of England. The Princess CHARLOTTE, attended by Miss KNIGHT, took an airing yesterday in her chariot in Hyde Park, from about half-past three o'clock till half-past four. Yesterday the Earls of LIVERPOOL and Ctromaorr- DUEY waited on the PRINCE REGENT. I - .The Cabinet Minister: dined yesterday with the Earl of WEST MORLAND, at his house in Grosvenor square. The Duke of YORIK visited the Parscx REGENT yesterday,. at Carlton-House. The Prince of ORANGE has issued an order for thi confiscation of all property in Holland belonging tp the subjects of France, by way of reprisals for . a simi lar Decree confiscating Dutch property in Fiance. By private advices of the latest date from France, we learn, that the depots of British prisoners, which were recently at Verdun, Bitche, and other places in the frontier provinces, now nearly approached by the Allied forces, have been removed, for security, to Blois on the Loire, about 100 miles S.W.. of Paris, nearly in the centre of the French territory. A letter from Hanover says—=‘ , The Duke of BurNswicic, with 8000 of his new corps, is gone to Dusseldorf, to wait the event of the PRINCE REGENT'S decision respecting who is to have the command of the 32,0000 men assembled there, which includes the troops of Hanover, Oldenburg, the Hanse Towns, and Mecklenburgh Schwerin. Whether his Serene Highness will be appointed to the important station remains uncertain ; in point of being qualified, to un tertake it, his long military services and thorough knowledge of the science of war, are greatly in hilt , favour."

As Lieut. Adamson, of the Royal Marines, at ptw sent employed on the Staff of that corps ikliolland, was returning, on the 19th of January last, from the head-quarters of Sir T. Graham ip South Beveland, with dispatches, he Pscapeii, in a Most' miratitlons manner, from perishing in the East Scheldt. Having left St. Martin's Dyice, in the island of Tholeo, on the afternoon of that day, in a small opto Derck bOat (the only possible method for passing through the ice) and finding it to be utterly impossible, front the vast quantity of ice, to land in South Beveland, he attempted by every means to get on board one of the men of war which were anchored off the island 4 but every exertion proving fruitless, and the tide running rapidly down the river, the boat was at last completely enclosed in sheets of ice, and in this situa tion was exposed, for upwards of fsfreen h9urs, to the mercy of the tide, during the whble of a most tempts. tuous and bitterly-freezing night. At length, that part of the ice which enclosed the boat separating at the very moment she was drifting near to his Majesty's ship CORNWALL, the then almost perished crew were enabled to catch hold of a buoy which had been thrown out to them from that ship, on board of which they were soon afterwards • taken, in a nearly exhausted and frozen . state. Every exertion was used by the men of war, while day-light lasted, to extricate the sufferers from their perilous situation ; and althougla they were several timer, during the' night, within *hail of the ships, no assistance whatever could be ren• dared them, the qUantity of ice floating about being l an great as to have entirely cut off, for several days, all communication with the Beveland shore, and even with Admiral Young's fleet in the Roompot. Lieu. tenant Adamson was one of the first who ventured to cross the Scheidt during that period. •
