It appears that on the 24th ult. General Ifni. Ai% at Zafra ; his army was completely on the alert, ;lady to start the moment it was known SouLr's ar r,v had moved. On the 24th, LordWEttlanvors was quiet in Ma drid ; as was General CLINTON in Cuellar. On the 13th August, Souvr addressed the folio*• i iiig Proclamation to his soldiers SoLatans !—Te-day we celebrate the anniversary of his ' Majesty the ENIPLILOR and Kern, our aegust Sovereign. This a nniversary will present to our imaginations the must pleasant ideas, and remind us of our duties. Our Lawman is in die other extremity of Europe, for Cie purpose of obliging our eyes fairs to make peace. and respect treaties for the future. Prom this immense distance his Majesty has cast his eyes open the Army of the South, foreseen the results, and taken measures that we should know his supreme confidence, by wishing we should march and revenge what has happened to another army, in an other part of the Peniasula. " Saurus: Be obedient to the voice of your Chiefs; your salmi* si ill overcome every obstacle and fatigues respect per il:fa) and property; . the inhabitants of the south have admired ; our discipline—wherever you go give a similar example. The 'day will come that the Spaniards, who are now armed against as, will be our friends. Their interests, time, and redaction w iii force this change in their ideas. It would be unnatural to suppose they could preserve *stir friendship for the enemies of their prosperity and indepeodence. " No establiihmeot shall be destroyed—not even the many magazines. The Andalosians know how to preserve, and w ill bear in mind, that at some future day as amount will be de smoded of the manner in which they have disposed of theta.— Let every thing not usefnl for the march or battle disappear. 6' The army will march disencumbered from all that us super fluous. A regulation upon this subject, as upon discipline, and the order of march, must be published. " Whoever fails on this head, shall be punishel with all the rigour of the law: A Military Commission shall Le established far this purpose. " SOUL?. . . " Seville, Aug. 18, 1812."

On the 17th instant, at ten in the morning, the French began to evacuate Seville, after a Manifesto from Souza, in which he recommended the magazines to the inhabitants to be restored to him ou his return, and charging them to take care of the sick. According to probable and faithful intelligence, it appears that the French finished the evacuation of Seville on the 21st, at six in the morning, and took the direition of Cordoba. By the latest intelligence from Madrid, we know that Justus retired by Cuenca, and that our troops are in Aranjuez. • General CRUZ was, on the Itlth instant, within two league of Seville.—( Lisbon Gazette, Aug. 27.)

It has long been the fashion for the public Journals in this country (not only those in the pay of Minis- ters, but also others which are not) to calumniate BONAPticru; but we believe there are very few of the Editors who have any real knowledge of his cha racter, and consequently their opinions are either the effect of ignorance and prejudice, or originate from interested motives, which entitles them to little credit. The late report of NAPOLEON'S death has called forth the opinion of several writers on this important subject; and we have particu larly noticed an article in Mr. Cusascr's Regis ter on Saturday last, which will be found in a preceding column, and is deserving of attention. We have ne knowlege of the Revereud C. COT.. Toy, alluded to iu this article, whom productions are sanctioned by the Alarming Chronicle which may be highly gratifying to the Rev. Gentleman, although we cannot set a very high value, even upon such respect able authority, after having been long accustomed to see the columns of the Chronicle, interspersed with groused indecent fabrications respecting the life and character of NAPOLEON, which are copied from a Journal, edited by a professed traitor, lately in the pay of France, and who Mr. Paget himself says" is now making atonement to hie country for his peat sine," It will be recollected by the Public, that when Lord GREY reprobated the conduct of this Traitor is the House of Lords, -the Duke of Non rout made a Motion, that the .kturnal containing such infamous doctrines should be burnt by the haisas of the common hangman.
