It may, in fact, - remove some of the obstacles to uegocialion with France, and thus answer a double purpose. 1 ' But what will the . Courier say to all this ? Since, however, 'he has made a public acknowledgment of the death of his hopes, we could wish tliatlis raving and frantic spirit would be, ere long, laid at rest. The death of the Courier's hopes respecting : the restoration of the BOURBONS has been naturally followed by au apotheosis. But, after the hopes of the Courier have been thus so lamentably destroyed, he seems to have a preserving eye against the incara• ceration of his body, for in expressing a wish that the people would lend 'a hand in getting rid of 801. PARTE, he rebukes himself into silence, kit he should have been guilty of a libel, but again consoles himself that 4t Mr. Roatesors can hardly have reached Chatillon yet." The Courier combats the idea of " the justice and• policy of England being required, in order to obtain. peace, to make great sacrifices, because she has al ready been making immense sacrifices for years, not only for herself, but for the cause 'of Enrepa: 6l : we understand the meaning of the word sacrifice, it is a suffering from external agency, and not a volunr tary act. If it then be found that we originally em.• barked in the war without a single just cause of pro. vocation, and offered or forced our gratuitous assist.; l ance to, or upon the Continental Powers, how, in thi, name of common sense, can we expect to retain con- 1 Ii*STERDAIS, Fel. 17.--:-Yesterday was received ' quests, which can be considered in no other light Wei with'every demonstration of joy and affection,' than usurpation ?

They write from Manton, that the security of its environs is likely to be affected ; a detachment of the enemy's cavalry having broken the chains of a num. ber of malefactors, and set them at liberty : they had all been condemned to severe punishments, and some - of them were even sentenced to irons for life. The Aeliverance of these malefactors is a new benefac- tiou, for which we are indebted to the generosity of our enemies. k . '•• • GERMAN AND DUTCH PAPERS. • • ••t • t 5, ...

He. even suggests that she should rather leave the Allies to their option; that peace will give Bo- NAPARTE an opportunity of dissolving the league by his insidious arts ; and that, as it was the common danger which united them, the moment that danger is past, the bond of union will be broken. This ii treating rather cavalierly, the principles, union, and character of the Allies. It is'sayinit in other words l . that they are not to be trusted out of the 'cilitiont and direction of the Cabinet of St. James's, and that. diey"tvill again become the panders of BOIA rAirr; if they do not continue the subsidized tools of his most inveterate enemy. But as if this attack upon the consistency and vir tue of the Allies, were not enough to disgust them with the malicious venom of a venal press, the Courier complains bitterly of their shrinking from the policy of proclaiming themselves the determined supporters of the rights of the BOURBONS ; and by say ing that he shall be mistaken, indeed, if they have not soon cause to lament it, are we to understand, that they are deserving of further and heavier chas tisement from the acknowledged superior military tactics of NAPOLEON? The Courier concludes this funeral oration upon the death of his hopes, with an apostrophe to the illustrious, ill-fated, ill-treated race Of the Bon tt- DONS, and with a lament that they should be suffered only to have a peep at the land of their forefathers ; " the inheritance of their ancestors defiled and de graded by the most grinding tyranny; to behold le gitimate Sovereigns dealing, with their own hands, the cruellest blow against legitimate rights ; to wit ness the assassin of one of their House sitting down on terms of equality and familiarity with the as sembled Majesty of all the Crowned Heads of Europe." Though the Courier does not say that the Allies sent for them at all, and thus to insult and mock their feelings; yet what other inference can be drawn from such a scandalous and calumnious passage ? His peroration is feelingly pathetic, ludicrous, and libellous; and be cannot contemplate with firm nerve and muscle the prospect of peace, as BONAPARTE'S vile Legion of Honour will, in all probability, mix amongst our brave countrymen. 44 WELLINGTON Will be shouldered at St. James's by a CAULINCOURT, or a DAVOUST ;130- NAPARTE himself will be decorated with the Order of the Garter ; and oar excellent REGENT be seen wear ing the grand cross of the Legion of Honour."—A hicjacit of piteous lamentations forms the epitaph of the Courier's dead hopes.

Pads Papers to the 25th ult. came to hand last ! night, from which it will be seen, that the reported defetpf the Allied Armies at Troyes, on the 21st end Mei, is-not confirmed. There has been no ge offal battle since those mentioned in the former Pa-1 pers . ; and the only affair of any consequence ap- ! • pears to be a partial action at St. Martin-le-Bosnay, on the road from Nogent to Troyes, in which SOO - Frenchmen are stated to have overthrown . 800 ca • viilryi killing 20, taking 160 men and 100 horses. I One account mentions,' that NAPOLEON was at Troyes on the 21st, but thii is evidently a mistake, as it, is contradicted the following day, his head- , quarters being at Nugent . On the Lls t ) the a d-1 vanced-guard of the French army, under the Doke • of ft omit), was at Bomilly, which is half way be- I tween Nogent and Troyes. On the 21st, MARMONT • was at Sezanne, keeping in check I'S/nat . :mm(3l3E, who had retreated from Soissons, through Rheims, 'upon Chalons. MORTIER occupied Soissons, MAC DONALD was at Pavillon, and GIRARD had advanced upon the Yonne to Sens, stretching to Villeneuve I'Archiveque. Thus it is evident there has been no battle since the 18th, except skirmishes, and the re- I pulse of the Cossacks, who, it should seem, begin to find their incursions attended with danger, as after I laving spread themselves as far as Orleans, are now hastily falling back, pursued by the peasants. They are said to be guilty of the most horrible excesses. — The conduct of the French Generals at Soissons is said to have been very reprehensible, and NAPOLEON relaxes not the least in his powerful military authority, as the accused are immediately to be brought to trial. But one of the most important pieces of intelligence in this Bulletin is, that Araeneku has already left Lyons at the head of a formidable army, to fall upon the rear of the Allies in Franche Comte and Switzerland. This is a very different measure to that of defending the c3p:tal ; and the rise of the French funds proves that the ahiriri which had been spread at Paris, 'from an apprehension of the enemy's advance, has sub-, Both Houses of Parliament re-assembled yester day, pursuant to adjournment. The desire of the PRINCE REGENT, that a further adjournment to the 21st inst. should take place, was communicated to the House of Peers by Lord LivrarooL, and to the Commons by the CIIANCELLOR of the EICPIEQUER.

On Saturday and Sunday he also attended the Noble Earl. On the latter day, the I Loan CHANCELLOR was present part of the time, till I the Noble Lords waited upon the PRINCE REGENT, to take his Royal Highness's final sanction to the 1 dispatches Mr. Roetusom was to take out with him. 1 Mr. ROBINSON dined on Sunday with his Mother, Lady GRANTHAM, and afterwards saw the Earl of Lim- vow. again, to take his last instructions.
