This letter was dated Ratisbon, April 19 ; its contents were confirmed by a second letter, dated Prague, May 3, 1813 ; which besides bore, that in, case the fortune of war brought back the French troops on the banks of the Elbe, the conduct, of the Commandant of Torgau should continue the same, nor should he then open the gates-of that fortress to the French. On the 20th of May, General Thielniann received an absolute order tram the King to give up Tor gall unconditionally to Franee, and to unite the Saxon troops to, the 7th corps.

PRAGUE, Dec. 4.---Our Gazette, after commu nicating the &luaus Cansulturn, - of the 26th of Notember, adds the following reflections : 44 If the new levy of 300,600 men be, as there is no reason to doubt, exclusive of that of 280,000 men, ordered by the decree of the 11th of October last, the total number of men raised in France, during the year 1813 alone, amounts to 1,140,000, of whom one half, ut least, has been annihilated, dispersed, or taken prisoners—in short, lost to France, " The French nation can hardly be plunged into such blindness, or reduced to such shivery, as not to ask on all sides, why these immense pre parations ? Where is the imminent danger that renders necessary such measures of defeyee ? Does a spirit of madness, or the mania of conqttest, possess all the Sovereigns leagued against us, as well as the nations whom they govern ? Or wish they to • take vengeance npon.us. for .all the mis chief' which we have been compelled to do them ? In short, 'must we shed the remainder of ow blood, and expose ourselves to lose our last strength, in ,oriler to ward oil a destructive peace, which would hring along with it our dishonour and ruin ". But all people of sense throughout that Mo narchy would answer unanimously,—there is not the least foundation for all this. Our self-stiled enemies, •who, are not so in reality, have taken up arms not to oppress, 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 principles, and expose their own enterprise to danger, by seeking to domineer over their neighbours ? Vengeance is as little the motive which animates them. Have we not been their companions in misfortune ? Did not the vex ations, the calamities which every where follow ed our, steps, press wi t h double ' sveirt.'.t on our saives ) :And do we not participate their wishes for defiverance and tranquility, though we cannot manifest them in the same manner ? Thus the only consideration which could justify the 'sacri fices at this moment demanded of us, and the danger of total ruin". to which we are exposed, would te, that the peace proposed to us must bring with it still greater calamities, must com promise the national hono ur , and destroy our welfare and security. " The lakt of these blessings is for ever gone rimmed to us by our own stressgth, by the means of defence furnished us both by nature and art, by our national spirit, and by our military means. Our safety has not only been seriously endangered at any time, but it cannot be augmented by con quests, by distant posses s i ons , Ism. by extending despotic sway over foreign nations. Such pre tended advantagts, by producing endless - wars, can only harass, weaken, and exhaust us. The moment France shall re-enter her true and just limits, she will become strong and unassailable; the internal stiength of no state in Europe will exceed her's, and no attack will place her in danger. Our welfare, is sufficiently secured by our • geographical Situation ; by the extent and ferti lity of our country. ; by our industry, our arts, and the perfection of our social institutions. It has been severely shaken by a long succession of wars, undertaken from caprice,, ruinous in them selves,, and useless to us. Bitt a peace, whatever it may be, provided it renew the ancient relations of commerce and friendship whi e t i un it e d us to a ll our neighbours, that it open anew the seas to our commerce, and restore to the industry.and inge nuity of our nation its ancient stimulus, will 40011, iii the bosom of reviving industry, wake us forget our false grandeur, as well as the real misfortunes with which it was accompanied. " As to our national honour, it cannot be im paieed by a peace which shall only set bounds to our injustice. If our military honour only con sists in our alone gaining battles its Europe, in never suffering any military glory but our own, and in never being boom it has long been lost beyond redemption. Should we even gain as many new victories as intimes past, the opinion of our invincibility. exists no longer. Nothing can efface our defeats in Spain, our retreats front Russia and Germany ; the battles of Salamanca and Vit toria, of Smolensk and of Leipsic ; but no poll tical arrangement can thyrive us of what is truly solid and indisputable in our military glory. Such, doubtless, must be the language of all just and enlightened men in France. Is the Eru peror Napoleon alone, then, to be allowed to place his glory in the misery of the world, and the stibmission of all neighbouring states to his will ? He says, ' a dishonoured throne, and a crown without glory, would be to him insupport able.' By what right does he wish to escape that imaginary humiliation, by prolonging a state of things which tends to degrade all the thrones and all the crowns in Europe What right has he to think himself humbled and degraded , by only be ing compelled to renounce the power of dis gracing, humbling, and destroying, 1141 that sur rounds h i" SECOND EDITION• SUN-OFFICE, Two o'CLocK.
