" The French nation can hardly be plunged into such blindness, or reduced to such slavery, as not to ask on all des, Why these immense preparations?, • Where is the imminent danger that renders necessary such measures of defence? Does a spirit of mildness, or the mania of conquest, Tenses: all the Sovereigns leagued against us, as well as the nations whom they govern ? Or wish they to take vengeance upon us for all the mischief which we have been compelled tad* them ? In short, must we shed the remainder of our blood, and expose ourselves to lose oor last strength, in order to ,ward off a destructive peace, which would bring along with it our dishonour and ruin ? LONDON: ' • 711111ISDAT, DLCEMDER 1813.

Gem / Harispe is expected every moment in Bayonne, but without troops ; and is to form and command a Basque divi sion of . 16,000 men.. • Dac.3.—Conde de la Bisbal arrived yesterday, and went to visit the Great Lord previously to taking the command. Harispe is destined for Souit's army, on account of 'the influence he possesses among the Basques, his countrymen. Vices, Nov : 24.—From the Ist to the 9.1 d inst. 70 individuals, with eight horses, who deserted from the enemy's army, have arrived at these head-quar ters. " But all people of sense throughout that monarchy would answer unanimously,--there is not the least foundation for all this. Our self-stiled enemies, who are not so in reality, hare taken up arms not to oppres-, despoil, or tyrannise over others; they fight for their own independence, which it is their grand object to recover. What possible motive could induce them despicably to renounce their own rinciplea., and expose their own enterprise to daucer ly seeking to domineer over their nAghlsoure ? -Vengeance is as little the motive which animates • 'them. Have we not been their companions in mis. fortune ? Did not the vexations,,thecalamities which ePery where followed our steps, press with double weight on ourselves ? And do we not participate their wishes for deliverance and tranquillity, though tae cannot mastifest them in the same manner? Thus the only consideration which could justify the sa ciificea at this moment demanded of us, and the dan rona• gee of total ruin to which we are exposed, would be, Ices, Dtr. 3.—The preparations of the Lord that the peace proposed to as must bring with it sink greater calamities, must compromise the national t are for advancing to Bayonne, and those of the honour, and destroy our welfare and security.

GOTTLNBUNGII I DEC. 11.—We have reports of Denmark being on the eve of joining the goo&. cause, with a determination to extirpate the tyrant. Should these prove correct, no doubt Norway has been ceded to "this country: propagated itself widely and with great rapidity, but it did not occasion the ravages which have been expected from a virulent epidemic, as is manifest from the preceding numbers. In sects epidemics, a third or a fourth of the patients regularly die; but it appears that in this case the deaths never amounted to one-ninth, and in the regulatorder • the deaths in Cediz may be ex pected to amount to . eight per day. Though the po pulation of Cadiz is now declared to be restored in health, an observation of 14 days will be requisite before absolute freedom can be allowed in removals from place to place. I- - In addition to the contents of recent Dutch Papers which we gave yesterday, we add various other ar. Aides of intelligence from the oels.,eources. The importance of the informatiim they emtvey, is much lessened by obvious exaggeration in some respects, and great uncertainty is others. Perhaps one of the least auspicious circumstances attending this com mencing revolution, is the ignorance, or inaccurate knowledge the people of one of the towns of the United Provinces have of the condition of another witMn 10 or 20 miles of it. We have, however, ,communicated all that• has , come to our hands as news ; and we muttAelive the whole to the good seise of our Readers, or to time,.to prove the value of the promising auguries conveyed by their authors.— Among the German articles of infelligence, the first, dated Leipsic, is deserving notice, as giving an ac count of the motive, or justification, as it is called, of Gen. Baron TUIELMANN, for having quitted the Saxon to enter the Rossian service. • We think it a little Strange that this explanation has been given at al!, since it has been so long deferred. The Gottenburgh Mails contain a report of high political importance, were the subject of it to be verified. It is no less than that Denmark is on the eve of joining the cause ofjhe Allies against France; inferring thbrefrom, that Norway is to be ceded to Sweden.
