The numerous columns of pristosers, the a Wes of cannon, and the colours which have been taken, are traversing the city.

One circumstance will excite universal indigna tion. The Ex-General Moreau is with thaenemy's army, in the suite of the Emperor of Russia, as his Privy Councillor. He has thus thrown off the mask, which has not, however, for several years, concealed him from the eyes of men of penetra. tion. I cannot yet send your Serene Highness the docu ments relative to the declaration of war by Austria ; amid the events which succeed each other, I have sot yet found the orontent for placing them andel. tar eyes of the Emperor.

But the coalition is fOrmed, and most certainly a tremendous one it is for BONA P I ItTS to stand against. Ire*iiiriel that he has stood the Erie shock, as it is reported he has done; though we always bear in mind the circumstance that-confederate forces never effect so much as a smaller number composing a ho. tiogeneons army. The French armies, indeed, cannot be said to be wholy exempt from the weakness we speak of, but then the heed which directs floe whole is one id the same ; and the remote ob. ject of the conflict, on his part, is uniform and fixed. As far as the military intelligence I;as extended, it has served to excite an unusual anxiety in the breast of every one. We have feet " ; eeonly had the Fr ench account of what has been done" and full credit can. loot be given to that. It shows,..however, that the Allies commenced their campaign with a grand dr. 'lgo indeed—no less than the enclosing the enemy in a net, as it were. If they had taken possession lef Dresden, as aimed . at; and which - they • were - certainly within a few hours of achieving; the lime might have been considered new I o'ly terminit .. :IS soon • as begun. BONAPARTt must then have rnm,died with whatever terms had been offered him : a .ce he could not have received a single regiment by way of reinforcement, neither through Stiashurg and Stut. gird, nor by blew. and .Fl3o.fort. In efusing to negotiate, he must have made Ws way out of 4 .i. leak or Sunny, as lie did nut of Rossi,.

Each party I)e!ng ciently impressed with the importance of a vitt , ry, there is every retsokto. conclude that the cont , •st fit it would form one of the smut signal b Mies that has been recorded in the history of this long and bloody war. The consequence of a first favourable result would be greater to the Ficnch than to the Allies ; though the latter could not but carry nil h them the ill effects. of a - defeat, to the ee 1 , perhaps, of the campaign, which, in all probability, may be antici pated as the end of the war on the Continent.

This, however, we coteidered as extra vagant. She deserves the tenderest sympathy of both sexes, and will have that of her own in an especial degree. This young Princess was learnt, very early in life, that the head which wears a Crown is not to be envied. It is not impossible, _butter, bat' that her individeal attittbriop may tend to shorten the duration of what she will, no doubt, consider a very unnatural war.

A Comma Mail arrived this morning, by which wo received this followlag intelligence :-- [PROM THE CIAZETTS, AUG. 26.] We have seen a letter from the camp before Tarra gona, dated the 12th inst. By it we know, that on I the 3d inst , the third army having been successively I joined by 16,000 English, Wittingham's division of 6000, and Sarsfield's of 5500 men, appeared to form the siege. On the 12th, the fire had not opened ; but the English were then erecting batteries. • The place resisted, but could not do so long, as it had only a garrison of 2000 men, under the Governor and Ge neral of Brigade, Barrtoleti. It is in want of water and ammunition, and it is probable that when the heavy artillery arrives, he will not stand an I assault. Lord Bentinck commands the siege. Su -1 cheat, with a force of 22,000 men, had arrived at Villa franca (sit leagues from Tarragona), and, it is supposed, that this was the motive for not dint& barking the heavy artillery on the 12th. The French from Tortosa bare burned the boats ;on the Ebro, and occasioned some loss to Villa ICampa, who was stationed in observation there. • LETTER TROlt HIS RICELLENCY THE DUES OE CIUDAD RODRIGO ♦ND VITTORIA I *DATED AUGUST 10, TO THE CONDE DE VILLAIPUENTE, CONSTITUTIONAL ALCALDO OF VITTOIqA. 46 The Surgeon-Majors of the British army have informed me, that in consequence of the late actions in the vicinity of Pamplona, it has been necessary to send to Vittoria a considerable number of wound ed; and that the,inhabitants, with yourself, Senor, at their head, not only offered them every assistance at hand, but offered them their houses, in case the edifices set apart for their reception should not be sufficient. 66 1 request that you will have the goodness to assure the inhabitants of this city, that feeling, as I always have felt, the greatest regret at seeing my self under the necessity of requiring and taking any thing from any individual, and knowing that their conduct is only to be attributed to their patriotism, and their wish to alleviate, as far as possible, the la bours and suffering* cif the brave men who have fought in their tem % I sin penetrated in the must lively manner witk r . affectionate good will, of which I have received each repeated proofs. 66 God preserve you many yeirs.
