General Ccsar Berthier, who commands the French jrmy in our republic, is chief of the staff of Princetouis. After he has inspeaed the fortresses in our country, he will make a journey to Ant werp, to make cvery preparation for the defence of the Schvldt, as the enemy, it is su,pet9ed, may at tempt some attack upon Antwerp. Our Gae.ette, in the accounts from Paris, says, that besides the failure of the house of Recarnier, which is for .‘25 millions of livres, the hone of Gradin Carsenac has stopped payment fur 9 mil lions, and that of I)ucoudray for a smaller sum. Fears are entertained likewise for other houses. ANOVIANH TRR R ITORY, NOV. 23. Yesterday, towards evening, about 150 Swedish troops, under Col. Morian, entered Laucnberg. Many Russian columns and p-mder.waggons, are daily passing the Elbe at Artlenburg, whence they hasten their march without allowing any resting days. The Swedish Lieutenant-General Baton Arm. feldt, has taken a command in the Austrian army, with the rank of General of Artillery. The head-quarters of the English troops, tinder Generals Paget and Finch. are at Bremerworde. BREMEN, NOV. t's. The day before yesterday, about one in the After noon, the Prussian regiment of infantry of Prince Ferdinand, entered this city, where it is ordered to remain for some time, as it is intended for the pro talinn of the magazines of corn, provided for the Prussian army expeiled on the Weser. It is quar tered partly in the town, and partly in the suburbs. In the requisition made to the Senate on this sub je6t, and which was refused both by the Senate And the town's-people; it is said that the temporary stay of this regiment belonging to a neutral power, I ran, in no wise, be contrary to the neutrality of this Imperial city, nor in the least disturb its constitu tka I commcrce. The gates of this city continue, as before, under the guard of the Bremen military. Immediately after the entrance of the Above-men tioned regiment, the Senate received a requisition from Lieutenant-General Don, to permit the pass age of an English corps of ehasseurs of 400 men. The town's people were convoked, and the request r.je.fted, as incompatible with the neutrality of the city. The said corp:, however, yesterday morning, marched through, having opened, by force, the closed harriers. It was accompanied by the Prus sian troops through the city, over the bridge on the Weser, to the gate leading to Oldenburgh. they •owed unalterable friendship and fidelity tt each other. While a Hamburg!' Editor v.ai eagerly availing himself of the first chum o f li berty, to spew his esteem for the virtuous Actc asoen, a London Paper had the Audacity to ' present this solemn scene as the impious mum mery of two " drunkos ibieclerv." The dis;osr excited by such ribaldry, must necessarily de• Teat its objeCt ; if, indeed, any thing so stupid could have produced a serious effect. We think. therefore, that those outrageous loyalists who have dragged the subj•..Cß into notice, would have I better discharged their duty as sincere good Oi -1 • ji.Ets, by foll•.swing our example, and consigning the stupid -1 •to which we allude, to the silent and ineffable contempt which it deserves.

The Aurora frigate, with the fleet under her convoy, from Portsmouth, arrived at Malta on the 30th of °Boller Inst.

To the latter part of this ac count we attach ample credit—perhaps the former will he fuat,l to !elate only to the battle at Krems. The Orphtar frigate, which arrived on Monday afternoon at Yarmouth, brought an account of the defeat of the French, with the loss of 1000 men.— This also, in all probability, relates to the battle at Krems. She also reports, that M ASSt.II has re ceived a signal defeat from the Archduke Claw %LES. KIRK (UHT'S letter, though containing false it telligetice, is now said not to be a forgery.

The brave Captain JAMES NICHOL MORRIS. of the Co/orsur, landed, on Monday night, at Ports mouth; he was badly wounded in the bead of the knee ; he did not leave the deck till the a.tion was over, when he fainted, throug'i loss of blood, in go ing down to his cot.

For several months the newspapers and journals, without number, which inundate France, Germa ny, and even England, have been filled with obser vations, notes, and declamations on the Rmsian em pire. Every editor gives free scone , o his pen : he bewilders himself in conjedures and reasonings nn the affairs of Europe.

The Emperor Alexander, indefatigably employed in promoting the improvement and the happiness of his people, has not watched with the less zeal over the fate of the Continent. Unbiassed by any ode .r interest than that of humanity, by any other motive than that of securing to his Empire the advantages that are inseparable from the general welfare, he was desirous of restoring peace to the world This Monarch has equipped, both by sea and land, a mighty force, which soddenly appeared on the Bal tic, and on the lonian Sea, on the Banks of the Inn, and the shores of the Vistula. By these movements, equally surprising for their event and their rapidity, Russia has, indeed, spoken out, but only to an nounce to all Europe, that her sole arra is, to pro mote the speedy restoration of the tranquillity of the world, by giving effedive support to pacific ne. gociations. This, gir, is the most complete answer to the calumnies, the falsehood% aad insinuations of su many contemptible scribblcrf. This situation has something solemn, something grand, and imparts to her contempt, a eh:trader of sublimity. She ap pears to me, like Minerva, the exquisite master piece of a Phidias, who, majestically seated in her Temple, receives the wishes of Greece, and obtains universal adiniratkm, the envious endeavour to find fault, an f slanderers drag the persecuted ar tist before the tribunal. It must, however, be ad mitted, that, for a imo:bor/oresie nation, as certain journals have been pleased to denominate the Rus sian empire, this part is equally honourable and im posing. I know a certain chief of one of the most civilized monarchies of the earth, whose censorious and intolerant spirit fatig•:es a hundred pens with answering the most obscure scribblers ; lie would not hesijate to make the suporess:on at a news paper he did not-like, an -artier a treaty of peace.

LON'DON, THURSDAY. DEccsista 5. We this day resume our extraas from the Ham burgh Mail (-1 . the 27th. Among them is an account of the proceedings of the German Legion, and En glish troops upon the Continent. The head-quar ters of Generals PAGET and FINCH were at Bremer worde, on the 23.1. The head-quarters of Generals Dom and Totcrov were to be removed, on the 24th, from Luneburgh to Walsrode. General Poor had requested leave on the 23d, to march a corps of 400 English cavalry through Bremen ; but the re quest being refused, the English forced the barriers on the 24th, and marched through on their route to Oldenburgh. An article upon the state of the press is particu larly worthy of attention. It is translated Irons the Hnonhurgb Correspondenten, in which it appears in the form of a letter to the Editor, but without name or address. Those who remember the libels npan the King of Ear-.t n, and other legitimate Sovereigns of Europe, forced into that respcsia'ale paper, by the terror of BON at Aar Cs bayonets, will be as much surprised as rejoiced, to find in it an article extolling the Emperor of Russia, and treat ing with becoming indignation, the avowed enemy of the liberties of mankind, and of course of the liberty of the press, the Corsican Ch)iel, whom it justly describes as a man " who would not hesitate to make the suppression of a newspaper which i.e did not like, an article of a treaty of peace."— When the editor of a newspaper at Hamburg!, dares to insert such an article, the language of which is his own, by adoption, his dread of French tyranny must have sub;ided, and his heart have been cheered with the hope of the speedy return of liberty to Eu rope. Regarding thisartiele as a touchstone, by which to try the tapper and spirit of the public mind at Hamburgh, we consider it, in that view, not destitute of interest. But the eircumstancesof themoment have ,tied much. to its importance.
