746 THE NATIONAL REGISTER: r Dispatches were received-last-WOW by:Csosterumerst lion) Sir C. Stewart. They arc dated Leipsig, Oct. 22d, and men tion that up to that date, three hundred piece& of cannon bad been taken, and no fewer than -twenty-seven of the Enemy's Generals put hors dc combat. This is the amount of the intelligence hitherto-received by Government. NOV. 21. statingiss poitions Dealt a 1 corps, are totally silent with respect to those of MURAT, 1 AUGEREAU, and MORT I ER, and we may-therefore conclude, that nearly, if not the whole of these, as well as the corps OT PAVOLIST, have been cut off by . the Allies. General WREDE is stated to haVe been mortally wounded, and all his relations in the army to have perished in the late actions. On the 9th, .the day of ilt/ONAPART E'S return to Paris, but previous to his arrival, the Senate held an Extraordinary Sitting, the object of which was the prolongation of the Re gency of the EMPRESS. From this circumstance we pre sume he means to return to the Rhine. Poet- KING JE ROME has been again obliged to evacuate his caFital of Airest phalia. He arrived on the Ist at Cologne. The King of SAXONY is said to have been sent under an escort to Berlin. The VICEROY is said to have defeated the Austrians with the loss of several pieces of cannon and le,ooo •men, wounded, and prisoners, but no details of this pretended victory are given. It has been reported that NAPOLEON had set oiffrom Paris with most of the guards, who had hitherto remained with the Empress, to repair to Holland, which was threatened with in vasion by the CROWN PRINC S'army. - The French force in that quarter, with the additional guards from Paiis, is said to amount to 60,000 men, which rather seems improbable. Meanwhile, the greatest preparations are made in our har bours for the expedition intended to co-operate with our Allies in the liberation of that country, and the command of r r which the public hope assigns to Sir THOMAS PIGTON. The New Omnium lms risen to 5 per cent. It was yesterday reported on 'Change, but merely on the doubtful authority of a Dutch Captain, that a tumult had taken place a few days ago at Amsterdam, in which upwaids of too French douaniers,lost their lives. • Private accounts from the French coast repeat the rumour, that Buonaparte is directing the principal part of his disposa ble force to Flanders and Holland, and that he would soon rejoin the army, and remain with it until the 2d of nest month, when the Session of the Legislative Body is to com mence. Private letters state, that Buonaparte, after the battle of Hanau, effected his escape, to Mentz, with 40,000 men. We -learn that, by the intelligence given in last night's Gazette, that the Weser is open, and the fortresses of Brodie and Bremerlehe captured b y a small Expedition of Gun boats from Heligoland, their French garrisons remaining pri soners in the hands of the assailants. The corvettes and offer shipping were seized upon by the Fortunee frigate, Captain Farquhar. With regard to the less certain points of information by this conveyance, there is every reason -to believe that they arc also entitled to credit,. though not sanctioned by being official. It is said that the Ems, as won as the Weser, is open, and Emden garrisoned by the Russians—that several vessels from the mouth of the Elbe were off Heligoland on the 6th, that General Gibbs, with from 3 to 4,000 men froth Stralsund, 'had reached their destination, disembarked, and formed a junction with the Allies between Bremen and Oldenberg, whence the combined force would proceed in the &l ions work of liberating Hesse, Brunswick, Hanover, and, in fine, all the usurped kingdom of Westphalia. • A letter from Cadiz states, that the Government of the United States has formally recognized the Spanish Regency,. and sent an Ambassador to that Body. Theiispanish Minis ter at Washington has also been acknowledged; and the Mi nister of the intrusive king was informed that be could not exercis e his functions any longer. DI , PATCIIES FROM AI.IIIQUISS WELLINGTON. A Supplement to last night's Gazette contains dispatches from the Marquis Wellington, dated Vera, the Bth inst. His Lordship has sent the capitulation ofPamplona. Nothing of importance bad occurred up to the date of the dispatch. It is affirmed however, on the authority of accounts from Passages of the tOth, that the army struck its tents on the 9th, and commenced its forward movement. We may therefore look for most gratifying news trom our illustrious WELLtNoTON. FRENCH PAPERS. We announced last week, exclusively, from our private intelligence, the return of NAPOLEON to Paris on the gth. inst. the extraordinary meeting of the Senate holden the same day, the alarm of all the monied men, and the exac tions which it was anticipated would be made by the Go vernment to replenish its coffers. This intelligence was, in the opinion of our contemporaries, so improbable, it was so totally impossible that NAPOLEON should dare to revisit his Metropolis after the late events, that, with the exception of The Morning Post, they all disdained to notice a private communication to.that effect, and remained totally silent till Tuesday morning, when (French Papers having arrived on Monday night, with a full confirmation of every particular, which we had stated on Sunday morning, and were in pos session of on Saturday night) their columns offered nothing but awkward apologies for their incredulity. ?he Times alone distinguished itself by its usual jesuitical ingenuity, and endeavoured to justify its discredit of the intelli gence, by urging that BIJONAPARTE had arrived at St. Cloud ( three miles from Paris) and not at Paris itself. How ever. it was obliged to own his arrival was announced at • Pa ris on the Oth, by discharges of artillery, and therefore the accuracy of our iuftninant remains unimpeached, for as he wrote at the time the cannon announced NAPOLEON'S return, it was natural to suppnse he was then present in the metropolis. We have given these papers in another part of our columns, and therefore shall but briefly state their contents here. They come down to the 12th instant. _ BONAP A RTE left Mentz on the Bth instant, at one o'clock in the mottling, and arrived at St. Cloud at five o'clock in the evening of the 9th. His return was announced to his good people of Paris by discharges of artillery. On the next day, the loth, he held a Corinci! of Finance, the particular purpose of which is not mentioned. The accounts from the F re nch force on the Rhine, ate to the 7th inst. At that time, jtIACDON ALI) had been sent down the Rhine, in order no doubt to cover Holland, and had already reached Cologne for ~that purpose. TIARMONT was lea at Mayence, VICTOR at •Stra l / 4 hurgh, KEI.I.ERM AN at Metz. All the French forces had passed the Rhine and retired into France, ex cept the corps of BERT RAND, which was before Caisel ; the fortresses on the Rhine, were being armed and provi,ioned with the greatest activity.
