I constrained to take certain warlike steps, and. me •i so on, we can readily suppose. —We did suppose as Much at first. The. studied,. and un final silence of the French Papers upon so im portant a measure, as the rupture or renewal of the Armistice, with several other concomitant circum stances, amply testify that BoNAPARTE does not find the territory of his head-quarters 44 eallopiog , ground." No; but all this does not •flatter the cause of our own country : for, in the first place, It . shows, that this man elle has established i.k character as a warrior, is now creating one as a politician. Teat such is his view there can be little doubt, for other: wise, upon the first instant, he fount; himself thwarted in his vast ambitioqs designs, he would not only have put his hand on the hilt of his I sword, as we suggested in a former paper might have been the ca-e, but the naked sword would have appeared in an instant. This, however, is not the most disheartening omen to the anxious British I politician ; for the whole proceeding disclos;s to him • at once, and, in an undeniable manner, in how small , a degree the influence of the Court of St. James operates in the Court of 'Vienna i It was not always so. It still, however, never be otherwise till the strength, weight, arid importance of the United Kingdom of Great Britain are made visible, and, if necessary, tangible, by our Ambassadors in their inter course with and representations to every Court with which et may be wise or convenient-for Britain to held an intimate intercourse. But as the people of every nation on the globe are what their respective Governments make them, so are the acts and measures of such Governments characterised as great or trifling according to the reputation or talents of the Minis ters of such governments for the time being. Ours are marked by littleness in whatever quarter of the world they are made to appear, as well, or as easy, I therefore, may a fraudulent bankrupt expect to oh tain unlimited credit, br gain the confidence of man- kind for a probity in his dealings, as that such men as now govern England, should restore her affairsao their wonted prosperity !! The time is gone by. Their character at home and abroad is sealed and witnessed by nineteen-twentieths of the people of the empire.

A severe engagement 'eluded between them, and the trooo. of Cienega, under the command of Nanciseo I Crespo, but the enemy's force being much superior to ours, we were obliged to retreat about one o'clock in the day. 66 The tlismay occasioned by this movement in the town was very great, since they considered the battle ♦s lost. At this moment, however, Prahaw, Com pandant without the barrier, had been applied to for bis assistance, he was met with already on the road, with an 18-pounder that had been brought out for the pserpose cf annoying the enemy's vessels on the Coast, and hastening his arrival at the Savannah, he ordered the generale to be beaten.
