THE NATIONAL REGISTER. LORI) vicToßits. It has se!dom fallen to our share to announce more im portant victories than thwe_which have lately been won by our arias. Greater battles have pedlar): been fought, and more loss in men and (ninon sustained Lv the enemy : but no triumph was ever Riole opportune and likely to prove so de e:sive in its conseqttences, as that which the Park guns an- Pounced last Stnicay. The &spat, hes were brought by Dlajor Ft-rem:mile on Saturday, and informed uc, that on the V'th ti.e British he o, who may now l e called the sle liverer of the world, forced the pas , age of the Adour, drove Marshal and his army from the strong position of hes ‘‘ , ;(11 «m , iderahle loss, and penetrated half way to Boor (ham v. The most important feature of this victory, is not inerely the defeat cf the enemy, avhich was complete, but the effect which it produced On the people of France. c inhabitants, from the Adour to the Garonne, hailed our appreach with the Nvarmest welcome. The Casco]) pea sants everywhare as , embled in cromds, cheering the' lid :lag. and repeatedly exclaiming - , i‘ \o peace with Bun naparte !" The name of Bourbon, on the contrary, was prorounced with affect7on, It is stated that, even pi for to the do isive battle of Orthes, deputations bad reached the I)ric d' A oa,ouleme, from Bourdeaux and other principal towns in the south of France, expressing their desire to return to their allegiance, the moment the approach of a British force should secure them against military execution from the ty- TaLt's atelitcs. This statcment has been fu!lv confirmed by the second (14t atches• of I.ra d kVellititoo, dated Aire, the 13th inst. and received last Tuesday, in which he described the recep tian of the lil itish troops at Bourdcaux, the hoisting of the white cockade, and the unanimous declaration made by the jah a kitant: of that city in favour of the Bourbons. Well might both Houses of Parliament return their Thanks to our brave Commander and Army for victories which had 'pro duced such consequences. As there is no doubt but the Allied Powers are acquainted with the insurrection at Hour ch it has aheady been reported that the negociations at • Chatillon were broken off; and this rumour yesterday caused a remarkable iluctuaticn and fall in the public funds. It was, boweNer, p;emature ; thoua.h wa have no doubt but it will soon be icalised, and indeed, when we consid.2r the promis ing state of affairs, we think that few disappointments would be mme sc %cmeld felt, data to find that, at the present mo ment, pcaac Lau been concluded with Buonaparte. MANCH VT. have ventured on that bold measure unless he bad been furs of the assent of the rest of France. From the authority of a letter of his, directed to his brother, now in this country, we can state that he spent two months in Paris immediately previous to the taking of that step, and that the insurrection is expected to be gene ral in France. We have the best authority to state, that most of the former leaders of the French revolution, and even Talleyrand himself, are at the head of the coun ter-revolution, whose object is the overthrow of a tyrant, under whom it was impossible to live any longer. The Deputies .arrived f , om Bordeaux are personally known to us, but we do not believe that they have been sent by any assem bly of the inhabitants of the town; we consider them met ely as messengers or volunteers, eager for the first spoils. It is said, that for several months past the most active and' enterprising among the sof viving Chiefs of the Royal army of La Vendee have been employed in organizing an instil-- ection. It is probable they will n'w show thumsehes ;.) ce , if the rising in favour of the white Hag is really as extensive as has been represented. It is stated, that a fast sailing frigate has been dispatched to convey the Duke of Berri to Bordeaux, from Jersey, where his Royal Ilighness has been waiting, in vain, for nearly three months, in the hope of being invited to land in France, by a general insurrection of the loyalists of L& Vendee in favour of their ancient masters. The proceed ings at Bordeaux have unexpectedly presented a more fa vourable scene for his presence ; and we are told, more over, that being of a more active disposition than his elder brother, the Duke D'Angouleme, he is like& to inspire greater energy. The coronation of the Sovereign Prince of the Ne therlands, will take place to-morrow, the 28th instant, at Amsterdam. The preparations for this important event were nearly completed when 'the last advices from Lord Clancarty reached Government. The Stadthouse is to be splendidly decorated, and a grand procession of the Nobi lity, the Burghers, and the Deputies from the different ci ties and towns of Ilolland will ceinduct the Sovereign Prince, attended by his Council of State, to the Great Hall, where the ceremonies of the coronation are to be-per. formed. Mr. Guy, the Messenger, arrived at Deal on Tuesday, with dispatches from the Ministry for Lord Castlereagh, at Cha tillun-sur•Scine, and was about to embark in a flag of truce for France, when a telegraphic dispatch from London arrested his departure till further orders. The rising in favour of the Bourbons is considered to be the cause of Mr. Guy's tem porary detention. Immediately after the recent victory, Lord Wellington dispatched couriers by di&ret routes to communicate the circumstance to Lord Castlereagh, who, we hope, has Leen for some days past apps iscd of the fact, and of the state of the public mind in the South of France. When the Allied Sovereigns are in possession of the information, it will, no doubt, have much weight with respect to the negotiations at Cliatillon, and give a new and important turn to the state of affaiis on the Continent. It is confidently stated, that a Treaty of Alliance has been entered into between Austria, Prussia, Russia, and England, for twenty years, by which the High Contracting Powers bind themselves, in the event of a Treaty of Peace with France, to preserve the balance of power in Europe. .For this purp(..se they are to have ready 150,000 men each, within a given tern) : England to assist the Allies as speedily as pos. siblc with five millions of money. rnir.

We never performed a more pleasing duty, than that of announcing the probable triumph of the cause of the Royal Bout bons over that of the infamous usurper, who has Fo long stained ''.:etope with blo„d.
