" Al Monarch and a Father, I feet that Peace adds to the aec u i;t y . ut Thrones, and to that of Parnilies." True—ne does feel this at last.—His misfor ‘ t unes have brought it home to him. The rice of 'the French Nation calling out " Peace, Peace!" does Convince him, that the security of one hroae and one Family, at least, (and that throne and famil y, the c learest to him because his lotto Lkpends upon the realization'pf these expec.- .- *ations, Tf he succeeds, be may ()Udine the storm ; , • if he fails, he is undone.

With 'regard. to the delays, it is stifOCiently obvious that the splendid Revolution in Holland (certainly not ascribable to " the will, though readily ascribable to the oppreiiion Of BUONAPARTE) must IlaVa de ranged any previous bases of treaty concerted. There were also very unaccountable delays at Prague ; may we hope for similar results at Manheim ! We find that this copious subject has grown on us beyond our intention, and that we must defer its hailer consideration till to-morrow, brio...fly noticing the *call . (oh monstrous !) fur " new-sa crifices" in treasure and lives, The common-place assertion of there being no obstacle to peace on the side of BUON.U'ARTE is what might have been expected—He himself is the obstacle to the re pose of the world. 'N'tre repeat our Second and Third Editions of yesterday in our first 'page, whenee - our Readers ,will•gather the best information relating tt.the Mission of Lord CASTLEREAGH, and other mat ters of peculiar interest. We I►ave received the following letter from our Correspondeat at Yarmouth, bi►t have not yet, been able to ascert►►in in town the nature .of. this Communication. We believe it relates to the se paration of Denmark from rWONAPARTE. • " YAVMOUTH, DEC. 23. . ; A Dutch scbuyt arrived yesterday • M. oo m Xiotland with a Messenger. He does not bring any stews of importance. " The Lark packet arrived also yesterday with mails and passenger:, from Heligoland. The Count Da STAcKENETLD E a General lately in the Drench service, and his Seat ctary, landed from her, accom- - panied by Major STEPHENSON, an Eliglish. Of icer, and proceeded for tondon.' He is said to lie charged with a communication of impOrtOnce to Gov:ernMent, and was committed to Cie core of Major 'STBPLIENS UN by Count WALMODENT. The Major also is the hearer of dispatches on the same subject." . The Frerick Papers contain, as We yesterday stated, assertions of a victory 'at Bayonne ; but we have no hesitation in adhering to the account we• received from Guernsey, and inserted in THE §IIN of yesterday. The Bayonne versiOn is too apparently irreconcilable with common sense to require exposure or refutation. The battles on the 10th, 11th, 1201, and 13th, seem to have taken place along the whole line, especially where Lord WELLINGTON commanded in person, and on the right, the action of the 9th was chiefly confined to our left. A kind friend has just favoured us with the following : " There can be no tionbt, front Souvr's own ac count, or rather the Baycinne'account, that from the 9th to the 13th inclusive, 'the ,French have been uniformly beaten, and that Lord WELLING TONihaS not only maintained his [v. - mind,: but ac tually advanced further into the rear of Bayonne. There are, we understand, private ketters'in town from Sir U. COLI;IER, of the 12th, which mention the fact of three German Battalions coming over to Lord WELLINGTON, but the distance of Pas sage from the scene of action did not enable him to give any particulars of battles , then actually fighting." :Lord CASTLEREAUx does not set out till Sunk' day or iNionclay,. 'llr. JACKSON, brother to the late Minister hi America, accotnpaincs his Loid s!lip. It is strongly reported that Bergen-op-Zoom is taken. No further accounts of the Toulon affair. We continue of the same opinion we wereyesterday, that it is unfounded. We give a few Itirtiter Extracts from Amcricatv Papers to the .1 Rh Noveniber—but they 'are, of • little interest. By the Cadiz Papers, which arrived yesterday to the 4th instant, we- learn,, thit on the 20th of NOveMber, the Cortes suspended their sittings in 'the Isle of Leon, which are to m be resued iniga drhlon the 15th of.lanuary;lBl4.

Most of the vessels captured were bound to Halifax and 'Nova-Scotia, One of.the vessels'which she captured, was a brig, who taught, her some time, but at last yielded, having lost several of her men before she struck. in this action one man,was wounded on board the irunkee; and her maintop-mast was Ve.l7 much in j ured, or she would not have.returned to port so soon.
