Thie day the fiat coluMn of the Grand Arnie, commanded lly Mondial Victor, is expected te ar rive in thie city, and every preparation has been mode to give them a most *littering and honourable eeceptiose The 4 'ouncit of State, the Prefect of the Department of the Seine, the Membersof the Me . uicipality, and General liallin,accompaiiied by the Etat Major, went out. to meet them through the liarriere l'antin, by which they were to cuter the -town. The column :arrived accordingly **bout one o'clorit. Marshul Victor placed himself at their head, surrounded by his Otliceni and the Standard &vivre, when the Prefect addressed bun, and the 4 takers and soldiers, in a "peed, in which he recalled to his and their 'attention thVir former ex. pluits : '• lit gratitude for these splendid services, His liiiperiiil Majesty has graciously allowed us to offer you these crowns, with which to 'Adorn the Elixir ilea is 110 V/ 1.1101/t to conduct you to new conquests. The Prefect next complimented the troops, and told tli4un that the Great City presented them with these as rewards of their former, and pledges of their fu ture glorious toils: and, at the same time, as tokens of the esteem and good wishes of the Great City. • Thee have f'utlit for and conquered the peace of the North—they have now to tight for that of the S7ltttil; and thee the world will enjoy freedom and peace. The hearts of the Great City had followed • you to the hordersi of the Danube and the Vistula: they will now follow you to these of the Ebro and the l'sgus." Marshal Victor made an appropriate reply, and promised dist hiseoldters would actraire new claims to the gninturle of the great people, awl the favaur of Napoleon the Great,. and concluded with ex . claiming—lon line dee Emperor—upon %‘12n..1 1 / 2 10.ig • live the Euttwror remanded on all sides.

According to letters from Bergen, dated the 20th ult. advice has been received there of the capture of three richly laden Chinamen, by a French ship of the line, in the East Indie►. We have received letters aed papers from Bar bodoes, to the 14th of August, from which we have made some extracts. Every piece of intelligence, and every event which is transinitted from the Continent, however defaced or altered it may be, by the channels through which it passes, manifests. nevertheless, the increasing perturbation, and aceu:nulating ember rasnalents of N•POLEON. It is vain that he would conceal it by steel of apparent gaiety, or of amuse ment, foreign to his gloomy nature. The agitation of his irritated mind, and his infuriated temper, ' burst perpetually through all the restraints of po licy, or of state dissimulation. Even the language in which lie addresses his soldier*. how changed is it since April ! He can no longer disguise from them that secret, winch begins, in defiance of all his precautions, or his punishments, to be known front one extremity of Emma! to the other—that victory hue fonisken him. He menaces, it is true, $ lay Spain► and Portuend waste, and to involve the English iu their destruction. But, while his legions intersect France in every direction, and bead their course towards the Ebro, he himself, his e)•e constantly fixed on the Danube, parts in an Opposite direction, for Thoringia, there to meet the unfortunate and misguided ALEXANDER. The result of such an interview, if, after all, it shall ever take place, may be easily and certainly unti ciliated. It most terminate in the further exten sion and co•apletiou of all which the Treaty of Tilsit left unaccomillislied. That the Corsican , considers leis Muscovite Ally's arrival as certain, we cannot doubt, ►ince lie has already set out to nisei him. Still Ole subservience and übmiseion of the CZAR imust probably have some limits, either spon taneous or eampalsory. Such, we are assured, have already brill' imposed on his dcoarture for Erfurt. Without, however, assuming or asserting that tact, it is only necessary to cast a glance over the actual condition of the Russian empire, its po litical eonsidemtiou, its marine, its armies, and its commerce, in order to see that ALEXANDER will probably Mein. greuter Ileuml of deposition, by currying his obedience to BONAPARTE. farther, than by ass , •rtuag his independence. If ever a ininnent Was peculiarly Ili for such no *Aim at eniatwipatiogi, it is the present. A few days may decide whether Russia is to be considered only as an en4ine of France, or whether she has arrived at the point beyond winch site will not advance. Any radical change in ALEXANDER'S line of policy, at au instant such as this, would uoquestionubly Weave the power, and derange the projects of Bo- NAPARTE, beyond say other event. For • rupture with Austria he is prepared. Neetvey Denmark nor Prussia poetess the faculties of resistance. Bs: ou the co-operation of Russia he calculates, and any disapiminteneut there, while it covered him with personal hniniliation, would expose Inns to in calvolabie !wards. lf, 011 the side of Gernessay, Ins affairs are thus critically situated, in Spain they draw to a ►till snore decisive poi,.t. tt is obvious, that he must, and that he will, either subjugate by superior forte and superior tactics, the Spaniels Monarchy ; or that In must there sustain a complete arnd signal defeat. Those who, contemplating his ro.tonishing talents, his elevation, his victories, and his nie ces'', from 1749 down to the present year, consider him us combining amid propelling a machinery, against which neither Kings, Goveraments, nor people, can effectually contend; and many such persosis there ere, of seqwrior jiidgrnent, who confi dently believe and predict hi,. success beyond the Pyrenees. These, on the other hand, who, having 'narked his rise, think that he wanted either ink inent to know w'sere he ought to have stopped, or, which is wore probable, moderation to restiaia his thirst of empire ; and who conceive th,t since the mouth of May he has been tending rapidly down wards ; are pervaded, that, though he may main tain himself in his actual sitnation, at least for a length of thee, yet that he will be no longer pro gressive. Cigna this question, the almost serious which CUR Is• agitated by the human mind, mid which may be said to include the destiny of Eu rope, even the short remainder of the present year may throw a prodigious light. Whatever is the result of Boa asume's journey into Germany, whether the expected confer-rime at Eden prove more or less satisfactory to hive in its results; Spain is adroit to exhibit a aerie either of victors-, or of defeat. JOSEPS will either transfer his residence from Miranda to Madrid, or he asp be driven be yond the Ebro, into Navarre, or Biscay ; perhaps back to Bayonne. We confeas that we dread more the perfidious arts, the corrugtion, and the seduc tions of Box APARTR. even thkn his armies. CAS , .

Against his secret machinations, his profon Wand Mlbt Le attacks oil the loyalty or the patriotism of the Spaniards ; attacks which are al ways masked under this veil of religion, or morality, or virtue; what security can be advised? It is'not without concern, we observe that 'symptoms of those arts, amid of their baneful effect,, are to be found in the recitals transmitted us of the late events that have taken place at Bilboa, in Outdo nia, and in the Balearic Island'. While Beeeteees prepares to commence hostilities in Arrugon, or in Old Castile, IVIIMAREIPO, a traitor to his So vereign and $o his country, labour* not less sedu lously, or lees successfsilly, to gain the affections and to seduce the allegiance of the Biscayans.
