It is with pain that we contemplate the rising snperior to the c:ouds in which it seetneo Ay dc stiurd to set, and shedding fo anew that dismal lusti'e which appals both kings and nations. The lust great at tempt of the Allies ha: failed, and though we rely with un abated confidence on their spirit and resolution, and are convinced that they have felt too deeply the evils of slavery, not to see in discomfiture i•self, a stionger proof of the ne. ccssity of encrcased exertions, yet we cannot t epre,s our regret at the disappointment of our hopes. They were so rational and so proati,ing! Who could behold hal'' a world in arms, foegetting all national prejudices and jealousies, to* occupy themselves with only one grand interest. the t eco very of their common independence, without anticipating success as the result of their united strength.? Erents have, however, taken a different course, and though the triumphs gained by the enemy have,• no doubt, been greatly exatige rated, vet even when reduced within the boun4t of credit . bility, they show that the Allies li%ve el:pct kneed some se rious reverses, that have compelled them to abandon the ex ecution of the wise and comprehensive plan Which they had laid for the present campaign. Our first apprehensions were excited by a letter from NI R ET, dated Dresden, August 27, at 6 o'clock in evening, in which he stated, that whilst Bu 0 N,A P A RTE was engaged on the Bober, the Austro-Russio-Prussian grand army, i50,00a strong, had advanced from Bohemia along the left bank of the Elbe, and occupied all the hills round Dresden on that side, preparatory to an attack on that city : that NAPOLEON learning the danger it ran, marched back with his guards leo miles in four days, from the Bober, and reached that ca pital a few hours only before the - attack took .place, which was repelled with the loss on the part of the assailants of 4,0(n) killed, and 2,000 ptiseners, with several pieces of cannon: that early on the C . 1 . :7 tli, N A POLA:.ON attacked the Allies in his turn; and after a sanguinary contest succeeded in cutting oft and taking their left wing prisoners, with its artillery and standards, and that unless they hnuld retreat into Bohemia, another decisive ..action would fought on the 2Sth• This was sufficient to excite more than curiosity, and the most painful anxiety prevailed until Friday, when the metropolis was elated by an Official confirmation of the ru moured advantages gained by the CROWN PRINCE . over OUDINOT on the 2Bd ult, but a few boars afterwards .de pressed by the art ival of the Moniteur of the 6th with three Bulletins, detailing the operations Of the war from the re opening of the campaign, to the retreat of the Allied Grand Army into Bohemia .after the tremendous action of the . 27th ult..
