4.- t h e wr ecks of his army still 'consisted of 75,000 men, he een-. 1 t r iseci in ten dais to retain only two regiments together, with which he effected his escape to Komaberg. His present flight seems to have covered him with equal glory. Gene.. ral Bianchi pursued him without . stopping after the battle of 'Cotentin°, and by continued attacks upon his rear. so reduced his force that the retreat had cost him on the iSth t ,, re than half his at my. Field-Marshal Mohr pursued him along the sea coast, passed Trento on the Bth and reached P o poli on the 12th, making upwards of 1500 prisoners. Ge neral Sennizer arrived on the same day at Pescara, whilst celieial Eckhardt, by a march over the mountains, pro. cecded to Aquila. and from thence to Popoli and Seiwona. (;corral Bianchi arrived on the 12th with the main body of his army at Aquila. Meanwhile General Nugent, assembling his army at Rome, marched by the road of Valmonte and Lein:lnca, where lie attacked and defeated the enemy who icired to San Gertnano. Murat passed through Sultnona on the night of the 1 WI, with the rest of his army, P 2,000 infantry and 3193 cavalry. lie seems therefore to have avoided being cut off from the main road to Naples; but hi, army was so dispirited and reduced. that the Bulletin states him to be utterly incapable of risking another battle. As he is now stated to have escaped to France, there is no doubt of his having experienced still greater disasters. Per haps the occupation of his capital by our troops may* have occasioned a general insurrection of the people, and the army may have forsaken a leader who possessed the bravery of a soldier, but wanted the talents of a commander. How ever this may be, his ruin appears certain. The crown which lie had endeavoured to retain through repeated acts of treachery, has dropped from his head, and as he betrayed all oities, the bitterness of his sudden downfall has not been to:tened by the regrets of a single friend, or the respect of his enemies. In France a different s-ene presents itself. Jerome Buo naparte, Cardinal Fesch, and Buonaparte's mother, who bad preceded Murat in his flight, have succeeded in reaching Paris, where on the Ist instant the Assembly of the Field of May took place, and the new Constitution was accepted and sworn to.

In another part of our paper will be fund the Report of the Committee appointed by the Allies. to consider whether peace should be made with Buonaparte, and whether the reestablishment of his authority in France had altered the situation in which he stood towards the Powers of Europe, at the time of his landin7,, and their issuing the declarations of the 13th March. A decided negative is given to both these questions, and although it is resolved that a DeclaratiotV of War is unnecessary, war having virtually commenced front the moment he resumes' the Sovereign power, this Report, invested with the approbation of all the Sovereigns, may be cons'eered as a manifesto. The King of Spain is the only monarch who has published a sepat ate declaration of war against Dunne: atte. It a heavy. te ' riminatory document, full srf violence mistakes for energy, of declamations against tyranny, rather out of place in Ferdinand's motels, and upon the who!. forms st most ludicrous contrast, when compared with the letters which he wrote about four years ago from Valency, when he implored Napoleon the Great to adopt him as his son," and only excited the contempt of thcr man whom by servi. lity and flattery he attempted io conciliate.
