Into what a horde of rpffisrs the French soldiery are converted The Austrian Courier, who arrived some days ago with dispatches to Prince STARREMBERG, left town on Thursday on his return to France. A gentleman attached to the America': Mission also left town on the same day with dis patches for General ARMSTRONG, at Paris. They were both expected to embark on Friday on board the Elizabeth, flag of truce, and sail, as the wind was favourable, either for Calais or 13oufogne. The Supreme Junta have announced the peace between France and Austria, in an Addres to the Spanish Nation. in this admirable appeal,they lay before their countrymen, without disguise or reserve, all the dangers and daculties of their situation. The horrible nature of the war they will have to support, the enormous force that will be op posed to them, and the advantages the enemy possegi, are fully acknowledged.

One of the men would inevitably have been lost, had it not been for a Newfoundland dog, which saw him at, a distance from all human aid, swam to him, seized him by the hair, and never left his hold till the man was safe, though .both the dog and man w ere frequently buried under the waves. This is the second instance in which the same dog has preserved the life of a human being. He belongs to Mr. Kept!, of jiowestoffe.
