I • • THE NATIONAL REGISTER. 473 as yet upon private letters received in the city from the nor thern coast of Spain. We hope the intelligence may be confirmed. It was reported last night that letters from Holland, of the egth ult. had been received, stating that accounts had ar rived there " of a most dreadful battle fought near Riga, be• tween the Itu ,, ians and the French under General MACDO NALD '.l'arentuni), at the head of 60,000 men, in which the latter was defeated with the losi of 15,000, and compelled to make a rapid retreat." It was added, that " Two more Prussian regiments had deserted from the French." The letters further state, that " the coast of France is completely drained of troops, and that BUONAPARTE has issued a great number of new Licenses, which he has been induced to do in the hope of obtaining some revenue, and al laying the discontents which his rigorous system h.ls excited." This report of a battle is the F. amc as that which has been received from other Faits. We doubt it. The accounts fe ceived by Government from the Baltic are of the 25th ult. and they mention nothing of it- We hardly think any later news could have reached Holland on the 29th ult. PEACE WITH RUSSIA AND SWEDEN. At last every doubt respecting the line of policy likely to be adopted by Sweden, at the present momentous con juncture, has been removed by an official document. An Extraordinary Ga:ette, published last Friday night, contained the important intelligence that Treaties of Peace and Friend ship had been signed at Orebro, between the Plenipotentia ries of Great Britain, Russia, and Sweden ; an event which was immediately announced in a letter from Lord CASTLE REAGH to the LORD MAYOR. This intelligence will be received with still more joy by the Russian and Swedish people than by us, whose interests it af fects in a remoter derce. To them, our assistance may be life. It may save them fr(nn the ruin with which France threatens all the Continent. To us, their co-operation is welcome, because it tends to revive the independence of Eu ropean States, Oy bringing down the power of our common enemy : but it is not with us a sine qua no•? of success, for we have shown during several years, that we could, single handed, repel the hostility of a world in arms to its own shores, and even there carry defeat to our foes. j:xperi ence has now so plainly demonstrated what kind of assist ance is useful to our Allies, that we trust we shall not, in this instance, revel t to the system of largely subsidizing, which has hitherto proved ineffectual, except in emptying our Treasury. Forty thousand Englishmen, with a brave and. skilful General at their head, have done more for Portugal and Spain than all the millions of money lavished on the Princes of the Continent who coalesced against France. Let us follow our own example, and imitate in Germany what we have done in Portugal and Spain. We shall. find lees difficulty, and it will require a smaller force to check and defeat the enemy in the North than in the Pe ninsula. In the latter, fighting by the side of undisciplined peasants, we had to bear almost the whole weight of the war, until we had taught the population the use of arms, and mili tary tactics. It was therefore necessary that our numbers should be considerable, and that we should act in some de gree as principals, where we only engaged as Allies. In the North, the case is widely different. There, we should join experienced veterans, under Officers of tried skill, and headed by a man, who, besides having commanded armiis during the revolutionary wars of France, has attended NAPO LEON in all his campaigns, and become intimately acquaint eci with his system of operations, and therefore able to count •
