r ,Tll NAT Seti.s tan and b! , 11) the wan and castle are commanded by r neighb u in 4 h e i g hts, where batteries once established, the I forts wou.d be redared speedily. St. Jean de LU2 and Bavooee ~o uld he the next obstacles on the Trench side; but the f diner is not capable of enakioga long resistance, and the liver, Vng soo - y st;oog, might be masked. Two roads, ma , u it! thcm:ieives to Bourdeaux, which is only miies distaa: from the frontier. The one along the sea coast woukl be cony( n:ent, both on account of its shortness .and of the protection we should receive from our shipping. As it passes thro;:.111 a barren country. however, (les Landes) it would probably be relinquished . for the other which is more circuitous, but atteeded with greater accommodations, ancibe only occupied by det •chments,whowould keep up the communication with our flee!. • From JOSEPH's army no thing for a long time can be apprehended. It will probably endeavour to re enter France, either by out-marching us, and through the cross paths reaching Bayonne before us (and the absence of their artillery amid baggage would facilitate the execution of this plan), or by crossing the Pyrenees in div , ded bodies, and thus exposing themselves almost help less to the active and uniclenting vengeance of the guerillas. In either case this so my, it is clear, would become still less efficient after the pas:age of the Pyrenees than before, and therefore could oppose no obstacle to Lord Mi .: E LLINGTON'S advance to Bourdcaux. Such a blow as the occupation of this city would have a decisive eff e ct o n th e Powers in the* North, and them ef o re it is not impossible but it may enter in his Lordship's deep and unerring combinations. It is evaily probable, however, that considering the deliverAue of Spain as his most immediate object, he . will allow JOSEPH'S army to escape into France and content himself with causing the Spaniards to Occupy the lines of Bidassoa, the forcing of which cost the Ercuch 30.000 lives in 179.1, and which may be easily de fended even by new levies against superior numbers, so great is their natural strength. By a rapid movement on his right, he would then penetrate into Catalonia, and uniting with the force under Sir JOHN Niutiaa sr, which, it is said, bas sailed from Alicant and landed between Barcelona and ItosA would entirely.cut off the rest of the French armies in Spain. In vain would SUCHET fall back from Valencia to join the corps under DE CAEN in Catalonia, and those under CL AUZEL in Arragon: even if they should be able to effect their junction, they would still find themselves une qual to the Allied Army collected in their rear, through which they would have no other resource than to endeavour to cut their sely. Otherwise, surrounded by an exasperated population, inflamed by victory, and eager for revenge, any attempt to maintain their ground must terminate in a capi tulation similar to tl at obtained by DUPONT in Andalusia. These are not reveries, conceived at the moment of enthu siastic exultation. They are consequences fairly deducible from the present situation of the armies in Spain, the bravery of our troops, the hearty and now tried co-opera tion of. our Portogues and Spanish Allies, And„.-nbtne all, from the comprehensive and superior genius of the Hero of behind and the Peninsula—the unconquerable WEL LINGToN. 'STE R • 'JULY 4. Italy,.and which, judging from the dispositions made will be comi derable. _ _ _ ------- FRANKFORT, JUNE 17.--We have a considerable garrison here. It is said, that 20,00:i French troops will pass the Rhine, during this and the following week. DRESDEN, JUNE 7.--The Count de Narbonne has arrived here from Vienna, with some persons of his legation. Count Biibna has frequent conferences with the Duke of Bassano. The Emperor of Austria is still at Gitschen. The different Cabinets are very actively employed, and there is a constant exchange of couriers. The French Imperial Guard is lodged in Dresden. We are still working on the fortifieations of the new town : battalions torm a camp of barracks, in the form of an halt circle, round that part of our town. The marauders who. remained upon the banks of the Elbe arc briskly pursued. The 7th corps Warm& is encamped between Goerlitz and Lvo poldshagen. The cavalry in great part is cantoned in Lower Ltisee and the Circle of AVittenbeig. The most efficacious measures arc adopted for provisioning the army.- The King has bought large quantities of wheat and oats in Bohemia ; and from Frauconia and the banks of the Rhine great transports of rice and horned cattle • daily arrive. A brigade of French cavalry has marched with some infantry upon Chemnitz and Znrechau, the environs of which were infested by some pillaging Prussians. The Emperor enjoys the best health, and it is thought his abode in this capital will be of some duration. The Russian and Prussian corps of light cavalry, which made ex cursions to the neighbourhood of Gratz, Jena, Oelsnitz, Platten, and Hof, retired, after they received intelligence of the Armistice. In the Reports winch the Military Government of Silesia pub fished at Breslin', relative to the battle of the 200 and 21st of Mav, it was among other things stated, that on this occasion a detach ment of Saxon troops deserted to the enemy : but this assertion is ntircly void of foundation, and the Government of Silesia must in this respect have received incorrect statements. GENOA, JUNE 16.—We learn that the troops encamped at Tou lon are extremely. numerous, and arc daily occupied in being dis ciplined. We have remarked movements lir that port - Wadi indicate that so large an assemblage of fOrees has a more important object than the acre defence of the coasts. NUREMBERG. JUNE 15.—The Polish troops commanded by Prince Poniatowski, have lately passed through a part of the Bohe mian territory, to proceed to the frontiers of Lusace, where they are to rejoin the other corps of the Grand Army. P IRUi t JUNE 25.—Letters from Dresden, dated the 19th, an nounce, that the Emperor enjoys the best Inialth. Their Excellen cies the Grand Equerry, Duke of Vicenza, exercising the functions of Grand Marshal, and the Doke of Ragusa, are lodged in the Im perial Palace. The Prince of Neufchatel resides at the Palace of Bruhl. Count Butma, and the Danish Minister M. de Kass, con tinue at Dresden; where M. de Narbonne was expected, as are also Plenipotentiaries front Russia, Prussia, England, and Spain. DRESDEN, JUNE 18. —On the loth thee Emperor reviewed 15,000 cavalry, infantry, and artillery, which had just arrived from France to join the different corps, of w hick they are destined to form a part. We admire the beauty and fine appearance of these troops, who, upon seeing the Emperor, made the air resound with the most lively Z 4 e - clamations. His Majesty made several promotions, and distributed some decorations ; after which the troops immediately set out for their destination. The following day his Majesty reviewed several corps of his guard, the ftisileers of the King of Westphalia's guard, and some other corps. On the 13th, the Diplomatic Corps met at a grand dinner in the Duke of Bassano's house. The Austrian General Bubna inhabits the Minister of Austria's Palace. The Price of Schwartzenberg's head-quarters have, it is said, been transferred to Brandeis, in the circle of Koenigsgraetz. Princes Jablonowski and Luboneerski, on the 10th of June, ar , rived from Breslau at Prague ; Prince Wolkonski, and several Russian Couriers, on the th ; Prince Gallatzin, Aid-de-Camp to 1 - the Emperor Alexander, on the 12th, ; Prince Poniatolivski on the 13th, from Brandeis; Prince Schwartzenberg, with one of his Aides dc-Camp, on the Uth left Prague for Gitsehin. • IMPERIAL DECREE.
