RtYlkiOt/RED RATTLES AND PROPOSALS OF THE FRENCH HOUSES TO THE ALLIES. A variety of unfounded rumours prevailed yesterday In the City, in consequence of the absence of authentic in formation. The Most prominent was that Bounaparte having reached his head-quarteys, had immediately in vaded Belgium at the head of an over-powering force, and not only defeated our gallant and experienced comm an- . der, but totally dispersed his - army. This is too bare_ faced a fa.br:cation to deserve refutation, and yet it pro duced a Considerable and tv most singular effect on the Funds. They aetnally rose ! On no other ground we can conceive but this, that any defeat experienced by ei ther party must tend to the more speedy restoration of peace. Such is Stock-Exchange patriotism ! The Courier however in a Second Edition, endeavoured to explain it in the following manner :—" The Funds have risen on a report that the Senate tuts left Paris on its Why to Stmt.. burgh, there to make propositions to the Allied Sovereigns nt Manheim, for averting hostilities. It is supposed 'they intend offering the Crown of France to the King of Mole, and to appoint a Itegency ; and that Bounaparte shall have a considerable dominion in Italy, with the title of King." On this we have only to remark, that the Courier has forgotten there was no Senate in Prance, and that even supposing the Chambers of Peers and Representatives bad gone to make the proposals mentioned to the Allied So vereigns, they would not be more admissible than his own, as their object would in fact, be to increase instead of di sniaishing the power of Buonaparte. France, .under the • 4 king of Rome, and governed by a Regency, *mild be as tnuch in hit hands Its eter ; and he would hate regained his dominion over Italy, once more formed into a king. dom I STATE OF CONTINENTAL AFFAIRS. The opinion which we expressed last week rearecting the probable course of hostilities has been adopted or com bated by most of the dally prints. Its correctness still re» mains undecided, for no intelligence has yet arrived to confirm or overthrow onr arguments. As onr supporters have not advanced any thing ne*, and our opponents no» thing strong l we shall leave our justification to the progress of events, and collect the few scattered rays of information which this week has produced. According to every ac. count, an embargo has been laid on all the French ports in the channel. This is corroborated by the non-arrival of French papers, which, anteriorly to Monday last, took place with uncommon rapidity. The Moniteur of the 10th brought by a private hand affords us the latest authentic news, and only shews, that up to that period nothing of importance had occurred. We have heard of letters of the 12th, which stated that Bonaparte had repaired to his head quarters on the gth, and that he was expected to take the offensive immediately. Other accounts state, that a gen tleman who left Paris on the llth, understoood that Na. poleon had not yet quitted the capital. In fact, his de parture may have been kept secret for a few days, for the same motives that led to the embargo, in order that his destination Should not be known until he had reached it, and struck the blow which he meditated. The general opinion seems to be that he passed through Valenciennes on the 11th snd was at Manbeuge on the 12th ; although letters of the 13th, from our head-quarters, make no men. tion of the fact, which, if correct, mast have been known in our Mini. They assert, that instead of expecting an at. tack, the Duke of Wellington was preparing to advance, and that between the 13th and the 20th, a-forward move ment would s;maltaneously be made by the British rin 1 Prussian armies. 'We still preserve our conviction, how ever, that they will be anticipated by the enemy, Who having once lost all hopes of eluding by peace the dangers which threaten him, has no resource left but to endeavour' to repel them by the suddenness and rapidity of his attack. The reported affair of out posts near Mons, circulated on the authority of a letter from Brussels, of the 13th, does not appear to have taken place. It was stated that we had made 000 prisoners, and that many waggons of English and Hanoverian wounded had entered Brussels outhe 13th, yet the papers of that city to the 15th hate been received, .~,:
