THE BRITISH PRE SS. LON DON, , FRIDAY. Nuvosate 4. We onderstand that Governmeer haw received a Betiteur of the sith last, which contains BoßA taartfs Message to the I.cgistative Cody on the °penil; of the session on the 25:11. The Message, it is said, states, that the Emperor ALETA DEB and Boa teasers, being desirous of re-eatablishing a ge tters' peace, had wade overtures of a pacific tcuden. es - to Great Britain, upon certain conditions, and thst if the British Goverimetnt did not accept those coo ditious, it wou 110 N APAUTL'Ir intent to invade Spain with all his forces, and, Madly, to expel the Bonasom family from the sovereignty of that k ui estuai, and to fix his • Brother QU the Throne. a we have been accurately 'taunted as to the sub :twice of the messages it appears that BosilleAlrer, is his proposition to this tostistry,, offered to r esto r e I:Esof NASD to the Throne of Spain, lithe British (;crerninent would consent to certain t.-onditions What these conditions are, we. do not prite:►d to laiaw, but we have no doubt that 11ssNAPArcrts's intention was to propose such an lie knew we routil not ace opt. Ills policy in such offers is nbninrs ; be hones to create a coop► .1114 between Great Britain and Spain, by offering the latter to restore her King, if the fourwr will make certain conce...inns. It was natural to expect that But4A PARTF. wand adopt even• artifice to destroy the Bohai which subsists. between this country and Spain; but the Standar& have bad too 'nutty prook of his perfidy, to full into the snare which he Ibis laid fur them. The report of the arrival of the Moniteur, with the Message containing this tool oth e r s entiments of a hostile character, caused c, depression of the Wadi, and they left off, Consols at tttii. and Om , anon at & Premium. They bid risen is the early pert of the day, Consols, to 67 and 1111 l ion), to Premium, upon the intelligence of the arrival of the Ita,sian Minister, Count Home nrorr, at Pa ris. to negotiate for Russia, in concert with Eng- Lind and Prance. Notwithstanding the tomplete and brilliant MC c.c.s which we me taught to believe, by the publi nitions issued on the Continent, has attended the conferences held at Erfurth ; man can doubt that their 114voiliplklutteitt, or their infraction, must finally &petal on the Corsican's good or dl fortune beyond the Pyre'lets. It is iu Spain that he must carry into execution the measures dictated is Thuringia. However beaten, disgraced, and fallen, he may be on the Ta :4 us, or on the Ehro, be is still formidable on the Vistula, the Oder, sod the Danube. The Germans and the Rus sins have ton recently, as web as too severely, ispetieneed the superiority of his arms and tactics, to be re-animated by descriptious of his reverses in Arragon, in Portugal, or in Andaiosia.— Dr:ven into a remote adgle of tLe ti ai,ieit Fenia n:lJ, aa,l compelled to evacuate Lisbon, he still may Le said to CORIIITC,',I ley terror, the Austrian, Rossini, and Prussian loisareliit-s. They will comply, temporise, and expect their liberation from tie errata in Biscay and in Cuhtlouia. But, how ever they may acquiesce in, or obey the mandates of their common scoorge and ruler, they must r , ,ndlly appreciate his altered condition. Hence tie doptiou of steps okensibly calculated to re. tt'Ar riten to Europe, uud to emancipate the Pros slot Siatru from military contribution. It was pro bably found iintwartical.de to cann e l, or to induce itt.rx ts DER, who is sis) longer at Ttimt, and who, must Wive heard of Ba:.lett, of Senago••4, and of Vicueira, to lend him affirmative aid for th,. comple tion of NAPOI.EOIes flagitious designs on Spain. without his firm consenting to withdraw his garri sons than Prussia, and to otter prop4l,itif)lol of a pa cific nature to England. Even of these act., co loured by his present embarrassments, he will, we doubt nut, well know how to elude, or to protract, the accomplishment, according to circumstances. More arduous and more serious toils await hint beyond the l'yrenees, whether he resume his stir; ton on the backs of the Adour, or whether, in compliance with the emergency which memo to de mand all his exertions, he shall at length rumor from his dark retreat of Marrac, mid 'mad his le gion, once more in penman. The occasion is cer tainly every way worthy of Isis interposition, and not a moment is to be lost when winter impends.— lu fact, various letters front Holland, and one which we have perused from Amsterdam. ex pressi) state it as the rersal -received opi nion, that BONAPARTE .01 juin the troops. in Alava before the nth of the present mouth. JOSKPII, notwithstanding his long and minute relation of the military events iu Spain, from the 12th of August, to the 13th of Oct °6er ' is erciently retrograding towards the frontiers Of rralL:e. This Monarch, hitherto known only for his e:titiaes an.! his eirtres, which the Moniteur took to much care to conaintanicate, has, it appears, emulated hi* Imperial Brother, placed himself at the heal of two divisions, and set out to recon noitre the enemy. This event took place on the 3th of Octolier. Uhfortunately, he esyi, the SPotnards became invisible ; and after searching fur theta, therefore, in vain, during two whole days. JOSEPH estcbliblied Ilia Royal res . ...leave at Vittoria ; there, on the 13th or Oethher, five Drys after his returu trot:, this singular expv.lition. he itiwit have received. (thong's be does not think it proper to communicate) the sinister intelligence of the Spaniel' army, which he unithl not even air cover betweenlboa and Orduinki, having Ot. only re-appeared, but hutting driven Ceo. Sham and the French force ot.t the former of there cities. Such has been the inghirione result of Jo st:l.ll's first every in the fiehl. • . _ We are far, however, from treating with levity, or from consitle:ing, without the must serious ahr prehension', the events which may take place io Spain, when BONAPARTE has transferved his per son, and the energies of his wind, to that quarter of Europe. His very name and presence on the the atre of war, will o:wrate au effect incalculable ono both armies. IG. talents, his past *access, and that star, which has seemed hitherto to lead him to vic tory, will all precede, or accompany him. Rut we nevertheless confide in the character of the S ; ositisli naf.on, impelled loy every sentiment of lit alty, pill rionsin, and abhorrence of slavery, under a fiortigio, olotelorc adventurer. We repos! no lit tle t oinfideowe iu troops, 110 W inured to fatigue, cc costomed to meet and to vanquish the enemy, I:011 CASTANO3, P.11..1F0L, and BLAKE. We rely on the powerful operation of other au%iliaries, to whose joint attack et em N•eirt.Eure may not be found eti bal. The Sp:minds possesti other advantages and aids, with which their adversary has not bad to contend in all r.oitil degree, when marching to invade Berlin, Vienna, or lioningsberg—we mean, void, fuoine, and diseaw. The campaigns of 1305, G, and 7, in Austria, )lonivia, lfrandenburgh, Prussia, and Poland, love no resernblauce to that which Ilos 4earcrr will have to carry ou among the Pyienee., in Navarrre, Catalonia, and WI .- cay. Every peasant, every woman, and every inhabitant, are hi Spnia, actors, nut specta tors. It is the milieu that he has outraged here. Ho only contended with the Goveroments iii his former wars. There he was uniformly suc cessful. In Spain, misfortune and disgrace have hitherto attended on hie anus. Nor, while we be lieve in a Pi ~videace that presides over the attoirs of Mat, and whirl) protect,. iunocence, while it sooner or later punishes critifes, should we despair that the cause of Spain will ultimately triumph over perfidy, outrage, awl turpitude. however su perior may be the abilities which conduct them, M. however awfully victorious may for a time have been their career. We yesterday announced the arrival of a Nies. senger, with dispatches from America. Ilia name is (lvanlN.
