LONDON: lIVEDVIUMAY, JULY la. -.1.-- The insurable crednlity—the persevering ob. stkacy---•and the wilful—besotted —blindness— of this nation, have now for near 17 years been the subject of astonishment and ridicule through. but the Continent of Europe. While Mons. as Cst.tretr was lavishing thousands and tens of fii.)osondg upon the hireling Press of Eng. land—and Mr. Pyre was thdndering in the gays of this " Nation of Shopkeepers," as we. were termed originally by the great Count de ArrltAlrAir—to urge a nerseverance in the war against Revolutionary ?ranee--that Nodose, like ar other ANT rs, acquired fresh vigour from each successive overthrow. From being pressed on all sides hr till confederated armies of Austria, Prussia. ats4 England. in the very vitals of her Eersir--she in her turn became the assailant— anti the ertin-lion of an empire with a warlike population of thirty millions, because st length ap parent even to the unbending obstinacy of the obtuse spirit of Mr. Psi-F.—At length the scourge of war was suspended by the Treaty of Amiens —and to this moment might that treaty have been preserved, heir fur the insatiable cupidity of that spirit of commercial, monopolizing aggrandize ment with which this nation has been cursed from the mnmeet of Mr. Purr's entranc.: into power...- The Tritely of Amiens we ourselves most Atone. fully broke, by an accusation against France of making secret preparations in the ports of Not. land for the invasion of this country, which is now universally admitted to have been falee.....But Wer—War..War—we must have—and War we have had—the ennierinenees of whickiire, first, the increase of the National Debt N i ne amount —which render, it morally certain, that when our monopoly ceases...and come that day must ,linen goes the " baseless fabrick."— This is the first and grand blessed effect of Mr. A untativom's wisdom, and indeed of this nation's .wisdom.—Bet the effect on the Continent is in deed tremendous—the whole fpce, not only of Europe, but of the habitable Globe, will, per haps, now undergo an important alteration.— From Chief Conael of Franco, doe s br. our owe act of supreme ally, have maths BdiaPlani the absolute and uiontrouleble arbiter of t e em's-- the petty state of which have Wien before his power, withoet an effort at resistant The iaelEeiency of the unwieldy Empire of Russia he has effectually exposed—Prussia he has die. membered—end Austria, as we have repealed(' prediCted, now lies prostrate at his feet. ii That the fate of Austria was decided, the pas. sage of the Danube, and the fatal battle of Ws pare, left us no room to doubt. But such is the naive of public opinion in this country, and so few le number have hitherto been those who world bear to hear Me femiA, that to avow oar full tun. timeuts, on that disastrous intelligence, became impossible. The accounts with which the public spirits have been sines kept up, and the state. meets by which the delusion, feeble as it was, has been preserved, are most unaccountable!!! The private letters from Holland—the lifer. chant from Rotterdam—the articles of intelligence from Bronx and Prague, taxis* only yesterday ....where now are these dehisions ?—fn the TWENTY.SEVENTif BUIf f ETIN, which ar rived 4A London but a few boys ago, is contained —.the final ineontesilik prpof of the $U1111.115. 110 K of AU,TILIA—AN ARMISTICE for one month, granted by NAPOLSON—after much citation from the Austrians—and to whose first o pplication the Freud, General MA RNONT so de.i cid-dly refused to listen—that he would not for one moment suspend his meditated ;thick. It will b e seen, that in this Armistice el/ the comessious aro frees Austria—who not only puts th e C oe _ queror in possession of revival mow fortresses—_ but is reduced to the Isnientsble pecessity of abT feluteb abandoxiaz even the Tyrol.

Every port and creek on the Continent will now be closed—harsh and in. harmonious as the word Peace may sound in the ears of the War Factlou...to that we must come.-. and if the final result of all these disasters shall so terminate...the tears, which the calamities of war have produced, will be at length wiped away by the return of PEACE.

A new Decree, dated Paris , the 12th inst. has madi its appearance in HoUxnd , by which Arne. rican produce is again admitted into Holland ; but it cannot pass from thence into France, unless it be accompsuied by tickets of origin. This is no. thing more than reverting to the system adopted some time ago. The Lord Nelson packet arrived on Monday at Harwich from Heliguland, which place it left on Saturday last. The French Bulletins had reached that island. The private letters brought by the Lord Nelson coutain nuthiug important. Private letters from the Continent state, that soma disturbances had taken Owe at Ludwigsberg, a cuUntry reoidenee of the King of Wtarzsanzita. bettors from Heligoland, of the 21st inst. state, that the French Governinent had required of the Kill of Denmark 3000 men, fur the purpose of garrisoning ihmburgh. 'rho San Falgenzie, of 70 guns, and the Astrea frigate, were also about to depart from Lima fur Cadiz, bearing 10 1 000,000 or upwards, of dol lars. The Hon. Coeastaxa Jon !latent had proceeded from Cadiz to Vara Cruz, in order to bring back a quantity of speaks which the British Government had eoutracted far with the Spanish Government. Letters have been received from Cadiz, of the 20th nit. Through these we learn, that a vessel had recently arrived at that port from Lima, which brings a very favourable account of the state of the public mind in that capital. The new Viceroy and the Public Authorities concur with the great body of the people in sentiment. They are alike enthusiastic in favour of the cause of their European brethren, and are disposed to af. ford every assistance in their power to the mother country. The ship which is just arrived at Cadiz, is laden with a rich cargo of specie and merchan_ dice, and another is expected soon, with a similar freight, fur the use of the Patriots, Sw A person of the nen* of Haring, who figured away on the West end promenades, in the double characters of a Capteiu in the army, and the heir to an Earldom, and who was car. nestly sought for by credulous trades-people at the beginning of April, has been detected nego. ciating bad bills at Bath and other towns in the Viral qf England. He was taken into custody about eight miles from Bath, on Wednesday last, on various charges of forgery and fraud. The impostor was known by several names and titles in i.oodun, and be had address and intrigue enough about him, to be recognized by some young ,gentlemen of fashion, to whom he was accustomed ,to give Omen at an hotel in Jermyn-street,where ',he also forgot to discharge his bill. Monday morning, a sboe.maker, of the name of Latwico. about 40 years of age, undertook, for a wager of 10 guineas, to go on foot from .Wlsitecliapel Church to Eppbsg, being the dis taece of 16 miles and a half, in two hours, and to return back in the evening within the same time. He Warted ettivineck)ck, stepped to re fresh at Sisarxelentek six fold n tea, and arrived at ppieg four minutes before seven o'clock; where be breakfasted and dined. In Abe evening, at eigbt o'clock, he artist started , fretsin Epping, stopped at Woodford, and again at Stretford, in the whole 10 minutes, and arrived at the start loggias; 63 minutes after nose, so that he won by seven minutc4. Several bets were depending upon the issue. .TWN• ARMISTICE BETWEEN FR4NCE AND AUSTRIA. imetwaffsme TWENTY-SEVENTH BULLETIN. gg On the 10th the Duke of Rivoli beat the ene my's rear-guard before Hollabruo.

They were the senior boys taken from the charity schools. Being esceesitely averse to proceed, they were tied together and dragged along by number of grns crimes, when the people inter. fered, and a general affray took place, during which about half of the conscripts effected their escape.
