On Wednesday, General KI11.1.1:11MM61 Ahh.dr- Catnap sailed front Chatham, on board a flag truce, for Calais: hut the wind coining foul. the vessel was obliged to put into Dover on Thursday afternoon. All eotm tttttt ieution with the vessel as prohibited, m u d centinels placed on hoard to pre ientAny person from boarding her. The Canterbury Paper, printed en Thursday, Aar*, " On Trie:nlaiy night. Hittllit. eleven o'clock, din patches from France were brought to this country . by a French boat, which came into Dover harbour. The dispatches were conveyed by express, through this city, yesterday ))))) ruing, about one o'clock." We noticed yesterday the report that Austria had declared war against France. It has been since Mated tl it an Anstrian Messenger has ac tually arrived from irotia a ith dispatches to that effect. We cant ; , :ue to believe that these arc Inert speculations, grounded upon ietters from liclktn laud u::.1 I I AntSurgh, Comm ii ideating. circii in•tances that thew au increasing distrust and jealousy he those two powers. We have received Paris l'apers to the 3tl instant. They report - the . departure of NAPOLEON for Bayonne oa the 29th of Octril:er. We have received Dutch Papers to the 6th inst. f-ont %Inch we have made some retracts; and also from the Hurlbut:et and Altona Papers received on Thursday. They seem to throw some &lithe upou the retrograde movement of Nev from Vittoria.— It is said that Veanttn's corps was posted to the es.tward of riillHia, and 64 finding General ISt. tel: was sittemptiog to get in the renr of Mar, at .I . 4torio, it 6.llloetc to Duningo,, and thus de feated I:LAKE . * iittewtiew. The departure of NA. Peres:nitk, On. Ilat come, is repeated in the Paris news. The Dutch Government having given per nli< ion for all vessels to sail, which bad began in load prior to thr promulgation of the prohi bitory Decree, on the 19th ult. it appears that several ship -wetter; hare made an improper use of the imbilgence, and pot cargoes on board their vessel.. after the period allowed. The eon serpu•ner has been, that the Government have is sued soother decree, proliihiting all vessels, with li censes or otherwise, from sailing after the 15th inst. and the 3oth inst. is tiled for the return of all such vessels, after which they will not he permitted to enter into the Dutch harliosirs, notwithstanding they may have Ilis MAJESTY'S license for that Fir- Ptht". The report of a battle between the French and Spaniards, on the 29th of October, nenr Durango, which we lately ourutioned, has been since adopteJ by same iaf one contenvporar?ea. Government may have received Cu account of such a battle, but they have not mad: it public. The Spaniards are said to have been victorious, although they lost 3000 men. Many persons in t:iis country, particularly among those who possess the best means of forming a spinal opinion, sic convinced that BatAPARTF., however judicious or necessary he may esteem it, in order to serve the purposes of delusion, to talk of crowning his twother at Madrid, yet has per fectly recoguiand the impracticability of subju gating Spain by arms, in the manner that he did Austria sold Ilrins.ta. The former of these Illo narchies was, in fact, overrun mid ,objected in less than fatir months, between September and Ja- Amery. The Prussian states, at least all those on this side of the 'Vistula, may be said to have cost him not half as Ion,: a time to occupy ; for the con test Ix:twee:l the Vistula an.l the Niemen, which was protracted till June, 11 , 07, tio•iNli it was imaiatairied on the territories of Feu:mate W1,.- ELAN, chiefly lay between France and Russia. NAPOLEON has already been engaged live months in hostilities with Spain, dining which period, if we except the single action at Medina del Rio Seem, he has experienced, unifortoly, only disaster, defeat, awl capitulating,. His troops ate age driven into a curator of the kiiiiidont, among the snows, and precipices, and defiles of the Pyrenees, where sustt nanix: of every kind is very ditfi.:ult to procure, sad at the season alien winter will augment all his em barrassments. So sensible was I.e of the pressure and irrc,istile importance of these facts, that in order to I.e able to continue to prosecute the war in Spain any lon;er, he has found it necessary to m enace in a great measure his possession of Germs we. It was likewise indispensable to obtain the coin cidence, and the tart, if not open paricipatmo of the Itaisst.iii Court, or EMPEROR, to his flagniousenter prise. Ileoce arose the interview at Erfurt ; an in terview • hich we catmint suppose that he wOilld have sonOit, or even have as,isted at, is a crisis the present, if he had been to have dispetwed with it. Wheuever the 'secrets ard mysteries of these conferences, held bets-era Ars:anima and 800 A r AtErt.:. shall be better know!, thsh. ti g•:.• nova are, we are persuaded it will he found, asls how ever snits...vela* or complying we %oppose the CEA& to barge hero at Erfurt, he hell towards :Us Tyrsut a vary difweet language, and regarded :.nu with very dim re l it sencritions from thoo• .rhiA hu experiene d o.' the raft is thestreaut of :he Niemen, 51:mtinied by the greandiers who mid annihilated hi.. troops at Fdedland.

As soon ns they lauded at Dial, they pro ceeded for London, where they remained till the evening of the 2.2..1. 'fifty appear very much pleased with their mi►sion. The Legislative Doily have unanimously ex pressed their gratitude to M. I?.mtaties, fur his ad dress to lioitai,orte. Humiliations, he has submitted. Greater trials and severer conflicts, we believe, await him. Whether Austria has, or has not ven tured to manifest any degree of resistance, we can- . not pretend to decide ; and we deprecate, as the greatest misfortune to Europe, any premature de claration or hostility on her part. We trust that the Court of Vienna will continue to temporize, to prepare her force, but to protract the blow. The Corsican is not yet completely in the toils; but, as Joss en recedes from Madrid—as he retreats from Burgos to Miranda, from Miranda to Vittoria, and from Vittoria to Durango, his presence, nay, his ex isteuce, as an outcast adventurer, spurned by Spain, and onerous or ridiculous to the French, must be ninst painful and galling to sOS AP•Ill F. WC lIIRy sac to Don JOSEPH, as Jc sits does to the fellers personage of that time whom he addresses. " Wlii ther shall this ut happy man retire ?"--Certainly, we may presume, not to Naples--Jountat would object to such a restoration. As little can Lc now be placed on the Throne of Prussia. The true is over for Clue donations and assignations of king doms. At Tilsit, where the Corsica,. came .t• rayed in thunder, and disposed of sceptres at his will, perhaps FREDERIC WILLIAM might have heen compelled to accept a Crown elsewhere, arid Jo- SCPII might have been placed oa the Throne once occupied by FREDERIC the Ganar—but circum atanees are changed. A fugitive adventurer, the scorn of hi= pretended subjects, and whose attitudes as we l as virtues, are only known or immortalized in the prostitute pages of the Meniteur, is not to be transplanted from the Ebro to Braudeulturgli, covered with shame and defeat.\Ve believe that N A• POLEON will not be a little embarrassed with the pre- MSCe of this ephemeral Monarch. Obscurity and re treat will be his bast refuge, if he is et er driven ever the Pyrenees. Nor do we conceive that he would And either welcome or shelter in France. We have, indeed, beemassured, that Joscea has . long since received from His Imperial Brother, DM merely an intirnatioa, but a positive and peremptory prohi bition, to set his foot in France ; N APOLFON pro bably well knowing, and perfectly conceiving, that " tut Rui erpatrw, est an rt,'s muntrair sejet." Jo sutn's situation is certainly not a pleasing or an exhilirating one at present. He is scarcely eighty miles from the French frontiers, at Durango. The Spaniards occupy Bilboa. BONAPARTE'S reinforce ments do not seem, by the French accounts, to have even reached Bayonne, as lute u the 2..301 of October. The best fortune that can apparently befal this Catholic King of the Ajsecin dynasty, is to pass the •pproaching winter at St. Sebastian, or at Panipcluna, awl to wait for the summer of Ma, to revisit the Eacunal ; pules. Box APARTE speedily eirects his threat of crowning Ilion at Ma drid. Our neat advices from Spent, from Paris, and from Vienna, will open new scenes in this great tragedy,. performing by Narottox ou the theatre of Europe. The catastrophe, prosperous or adverse, appears to be approaching by gigantic strides. • • • .
