Peace between France and Austria has been strongly reported in many parts of the Continent, and the "delay that has taken place in concluding a plaVl6 a arrangement is imputed totally to the rigour of the Terms Insisted upon by 11 Arotion. Other reports ap pear to be in circulation on the Continent of an opposite tendency. lidt we hare, in truth, no authentic intelligence from any quarter. It is at present mere rumour, and nothing else. We have too long been accustomed to impute to the enemy every quality which can deserve the *Most severity of censure; whilst, at the same time, we can very calmly overlook our own de facts.--thus the levity of the French has bum the theme of constant reprobation. But what would have been the outcry against the unfeeling levity of the French character, if a grave Magistrate of Paris had accompanied the French Eape. dition to Egypt, on a mere ports of pica. rare. Yet we find a Magistrate of London, whir, rather than forego the treat which could be derived only from witnessing scenes of blood anti cecaagr, actually consent to become a rerfortner in this awful act of death.—ls there no levity in the lusurious banquet of an Alderman of the Ci'v of London, amidst these scenes of slaugh ter and devastation ?The worthy Baronet, itis true, prudently withdrew Wore the must serious part of that awful seene in %flitch hundre d s oven of women and children hare...probably perished;`-'blit we feel that in this ! i 4 party of ptersseee'''jhere is both levity and lade-entail; Whilst in London we are amusing widget by cotting,jokes upon the , really r:orifig Alderman, (for seek personally we deem him)—the People of England, who de. spire ale levity of ate FreviCA; neveiNist a thought upon :lie horror.; felt by the innocent inhabitants of Flashing—'That it is fortune of war we know — whether ender politico/ axioms suck horrors may become limitable, we will not now discuss—hut that there is is what we have adverted ti p some. 1 irHM.

The nation.il character of the people of England is underpin au important change.—What would N.team:on have sail to the arrival of a present of "materials for a feast," on the dark and tentpes lavas night in which he passed the Dittube? Per haps at the moment that the storm of Flushing commences, the arrival of the inentenie turtle is announced to the Commander its Chief. Upon this appropriate present, as it is tented, the hack stied 'muster of the Luminous Allorning• Post makes this ingenious and very witty remark :--- that after the feast-e-Lord CHATHAM might " throw the shell amongst the e ssemy."--- Pusterity aill naturally examine with peculiar interest the documents on which must be founded the history of this important sera of the world. —Will posterity believe, that while the armies of France are commanded by a man who limits the pet iutl devoted to refreshment to 15 minutes, and who rises regularly at three in the morning, those of England are committed to the direction of a man alto feasts on turtle, and the habits of a hose life have been to retire to a bed of down, About the same hour that the other is rising to pursue the active duties of a warrior.—England had once the reputation of a thinking nation. — We greatly fear that will not be the opiisiou of pulltrity.

N AVOLION could be at no loss to find equivalents at Ver dun, were Ministers weak enough to act upon the sanguinary doctrine of their hireling Prints, in the case of the Irish in Flubbing.

Esca- Irma is situated tit% the right wing, considerably in she rear of the Fron' army, and only 15 leagues from Madrid. The march of the legion from Placentia to I:sraluna was contlacied at the rate of SO litiglish miles a day. It had been previously settled by Sir AUTHOR, that if the French fought, Sir R. WILSON was to attack their dank and rear : that if they retreated, his legion was to form the advanced guard of the British army. The latter part of the plan will probably even ouw be car ried into execution. The shipSitstotort is arrived from Buenos Ayres. which place she left un the Ist of June.

BANIE3 OF Tits ELIE, JULY 4.—For these two last days the rumour of the Signing of l'cace be tween Austria and France, has been general, and is re-echoed in all the public prints of France and Germany, though without any official sanction. Many people are still very dubious in this respect, on account of the very hard conditions which the FrTch and other Continental Journals represe n t to awe been olrered to Austria, particularly the great additional sacrifice of territory, and the im. m6nse War contribution of two millions of francs, which, unless paid, the French armies arc to occupy those parts of the Austriawterritory, which they will permit her Sovereign to retain. It is also very mysterious, that neither the Austrian official army account, nor any of the Prague Gazelles, pub. fished by immediate Imperial Austrian authority, I I should make the least mention of the Armistice, or publish it as an official document, down to the 20th ; that has nut been the case. On the con. trary, strict orders were given in Upper Austrian Silesia, not to speak of any political subject rel.'. Itive to the war, or to the Imperial armies.

They say that at least 6000 men more are to fol low. Serious troubles are said to hate broken out in llollansi. The people are mirth dissatisfied. The King is gone to Aix.ld-Chapelle. The great Expedition from England seems to be the great terror of the French ; and it is holm! that a great blow will be struck either in Holland or Mminark. The new King of So cleft, by pro. posing to make the Duke of Augnstinhorg his successor, intends, hone fide, to unite So eden, Denmark, and Norway. Some English have landed at Bremerl •he and Cuxhaven, and carried ott the French marines, ciiitom soldiers, artilleryman, and several pieces of artillery. MORAVtA, Jt t.7r 22.—The Austrians will take possession, at least provisionally, and till the con elusion of peace, of the town of Cracow, in virtne of the Sixth Article of the Armistice, which states that each army shall preserve the line in Poland which they may occupy upoti the day of the sig. nature of the Suspension of Arms, which was the 1211 s of this month. !Ye know that the Austrians had nut evacuted that town on the 1 Ith. An Itl JULY 1-1.---We positively know that Gener.il Ballasteres is at 'amnia with the remnant of his army, which he has been able to assemble ; but Geurral Bonnet, who has received a reinforce ment of three battalions, occupies the position of St. Vincent de la Barquera, and other points along the Asturias, so as to secure that part frum all attempts at invasion. Other French battalions are employed to pursue and chace into the moun tains the fugitives of the corps which M ingot:sell° commanded, and the irregular troops which be had enrolled ; at their head arc the Vicar Tapia, known by his exctlses in the provinces of Valla dolid and Palencia ; a Dominican of the Asturias, clothed in the uniform of a Captain ; and an Abbe of the diocese, appointed Lient.-Culunel. Sundry intercepted letters make known the consternation and terror of the enemy's chiefs since the day of the I lth. We know by others, anterior to that epoch, to what an height the I,!_ rucity of these brigands had been exerted.
