L: Such are the lines and limits to be observed by 1 , [ t tecobtractin g Parties, which however form only "a inferisr part of the consideration this moment ' ° as Ittliject demands. Were we only to look at t ile -Measure in a military point of view, it would he satisfactory to observe, that after all the great tlquries claimed by BUONAPARTE, and his boasts u fannihilating corps, or sweeping these " Tar tars back to their own frightful clime," he has agreed to a cessation of hostilities, in the beginning of which, he yields part of the ground on which he stood, while the Allies elo not retrograde one footstep, question is consideration of the l in lu r t ef t e l t i • e en . c g e ra t: d its moral and political 'effects; the spring whence it proceeded, and the result to which it tends. In forming a judgment upon these vitally interesting matters, it behoves us to proceed with greater caution and with a more comprehensive sweep of observation, than fie coming to the less weighed opinions which may guide our speculations on minor events. If we look for the source .of this Astuistice (and this is most necessary in endeavouring to ascer tin its nature, and arrive at a proper estimate of its qualities), we discover in its terms that it could 86 t proceed from the relative situation of I t'e Belligerents, but must have flowed from the interference of another great power s -;-•Austria, w hich, independent of eireuMstances, was bound by her own peculiar interests, to adopt . a system of policy decisive in the existing contest.—Had it S' arisen from the preponderance of warlike means on either side, its conditions would not have been so equable as they are,—establishing in fact a perfect statics quo to last for the period assigned. Austria leaving, from the situation of affairs, the power to "rtureand the attention of BUONArMITE on the °lle hand, and of ALExatanen on the other, siPPears to have exerted the influence and autho • city s he possessed to enforce a . Congress, at which an attempt might be made to arrange and settle a balance in Europe. Exclusively, too, of the weight of Austria, the belligerents had rea ofts of their own to accede to this ; proposition. uotaAsaa-re felt the inducement which the state , . Of Spain creates, and had also a strong motive for agreeing to the Armistice, in the knoWledge lie possessed of the events taking place in L ) 1 s rear. Th e a b sence o f t hi s k now l e d ge .ope ' ! ' sated with equal force on, the Emperor ALES.. ANDE R• a n t the igaorance in which he was placed ' With regard to Sweden, rendered bins more acces • sihW to the arguments used by the Cabinet of r 'eurta. To these facts, wo may add the sense ~t)# convenience, which was mutual ; though in S Nard to the beneficial erects of the pause, 1 ' • ( ' u PPrising it to be followed by a renewal of s ‘ low. 3 ' "' t ies) they are 'all on the side of Russia. - " til t° , Armistice, therefore, not accruing from Weak ot . ss on either part, or inability to sustain with hopes on each side, a continuance - of the struggle, but from the interference of a third I "ver, possessed of' the means of supporting its pretensions to arbitrate, it' is to the,natoral poll ' lleal v 'et's of that power we must look for the p rva ~t:ibltlbie Consequence of the Congress at Prague. these views' are, and what they ought to be, we had, i n contemplation of the great event ti which has just ,taken place, commented then to list enlar g ed scale, in. the SuN of June Bth, Ittld endea v o ur ed to spew that the true in terests ° f Austria, and the course of Politics she Was , sum • . , P ui g, pointed invariably to the reduction of the exagyrsso power of nuoNaratim,,-which l eft no nation the shadow of indepentlance without ta il • • tinned resort to the very insecure . principle of e oufederating with other States. To that Paper ' We titian, from our confined bounds, referi.rather than recapitulate the arguments we employed and •-- , .tile ' - facts we stated, taking it for granted that the *; s Phvioas interest of Austria is to 'procure the re !t°ration of the • territory wrested from her, and • , t e ier Te . vicension to th e ran k of a first-rate Power. r , , • hi ' she Cannot do at the expense of Russia.; Islie must, therefore, pare the conquests ,of 11110NAVARTit ' Which are incompatible with the libe s sis s - e E urope, _ . ' ol vs or by the basest corn 'l rothise that ever country adopted, look for cont penkation in the dismemberment of Prussias'Here we H , ... may remark t h e very s in gu l ar f act , t h at t h e -4 °1 of Prussia's signature does .not appear to the uttification of the-Armistice. It 13 thus situated, and, as ,our , judgment .~'~ leads us to believe, 'thus inclined, that the Sovereigns of Ettrope will meet to attempt the, difficult labour of bringing about a ge neral peace. 411 so far as the Continent is , concerned, ''We are decidedly convinced that the Agreement, if arrived at, will , be disadvantageous to BuotctrAarc-r-aompalatively with the nature of his power at the commencement of the Nor thern war. He has ceased to be what he was—. the spell of his invincibility is broken—he has been foiled and beaten—and now, though we lament that he has been able to treat in so advanc ed a situation, and in so imposing •a posture, yet even here, and in this, he has fallen infinitely below the IIpotiAPARTE of - Marengo, Austerlitz, Jena, or Vagrant. With reipeCt.t6 England, the question assumes a different, and, to us, more important form.-- Should peace be the event, it requires us to know the conditions before we can speak precisely as to,. the effect it will have on our interests as a nation. But of this we are sure, that be the consegnence peace or war, we are placed in a situation exceed ingly amended when compared to that from which we started two years ago. The be nefits of the admirable measure of securing Sweden by the cession ot, Guadaloupe, will, if the great potentates agree, he felt in a variety , of political and commercial blessings ; it confirms the death-blow which the Continental system . of our enemy has received. The exhaustion and reduction of the strength of this bitter enemy is also to be taken into the view of the advantages we have derived from this war—and, Without dwelling on particulars, we may assert that in every way the prospects of Britain have been brightened to a degree which there is nothing in this Armistice or the present appearance of affairs to cloud. We shall probably have to resume this interesting subject—our limits forbid further observation. We were enabled yesterday fully to communi cate the intelligence received from America and Spain. We have this .day received, Cadiz Papers to the 2Gth ult. from which we have extracted the chief articles. : They relate to the late struggle in Sicily, and demonstrate the exaggeration and falsehood with which the enemy's accounts of these transactions are chargeable. All was quiet, and the Government restored to settled order when the latest accounts came away. The PRINCE REGENT is expected to give two grand entertainments . shortly upon extended scales ; one of them, it is supposed, Will take place on the 29th or 30th instant. Yes4rday, about _lO o'clock, the Pitmen RE GENT, attended by the Earl of YARMOUTH, 11111 Colonel BLOOMFIELD, left Carlton-house for As cot Heath races. Ilk Royal Highness returned at night to Carlton-house. The last letters reeeired•from the Duake of Cum- BERLAND were dated yesterday se'unight, when his Royal Highness was in good health, and at the Duke of MECKLP.NBURGHIS. _ _ Yesterday a Cabinet Council was held at two o'clock, at the Foreign Office, and which sat till four. It had been summoned by Viscount CAS- TIMIEAPH on Monday evening. The Gazette of last night. besides' Lord Wet, LINGTON;S dispatches, contains the particulars of the capture of the Isle of Monza by a detachment of Ms Majesty's forces in the Mediterraneani and tif some other gallant exploits in the . same quarter by the lion. Captain WALDZGRAVE and Captain USHER. BUONAPARTE intends, during the continuance of the Armistice, to remain at Dresden with the exception of sou►e time spent at Glougan. Lord Sinmoirrn, *s Secretary of State for the Honie Dcpa►ttt►enty is said - ta have in contempla tion an extensive alteration In the present instil& tient system of our Police. ' The Debafe on the India Question was post poned last night in the House of Commons, on account of the absence of Mr. TIERNEY, who was thrown tra►n his horse in the morning. ' The reported capture of the Esser American frigate is, we are sorry to say, somewhat discre-* dited by the arrival of letters dated St. Thrnuas's, sth of May, which are silent upon that subject. A Baltimore Paper says—" The British made an attack, and after being repulsed twice at French Town,' succeeded in taking possesSion of a small fortification there. They burnt all . the warehouses at - that place, with a considerable. quantity of goods ; they then landed at Whitehall," Washington Papers to the 2d, and New York SO the fith ultimo, state, that the British fleet in the Chesapeake made an attack upon Balti more on the Ist, but were repulsed. Another attack was expected on the next day. The American Go : . ernment ' having demanded that British subjects naturalized in America, and, taken on board their public or private vessels, shouln be regularly exchanged as Americanciti zens ; Admiral IVARREN is said, to have given . a peremptory refusal to this proposition ; and, on the 10th ult. the American Agent residing in' London, received dfficial information- from Go vernment, that, no cartels would be permitted to sail for the United States until further- advice. Yesterday a Court of Aldermen was held at whcu R.A. Cox was sworn into flies for the Ward of Aldersgatc, and other routine business was transctetl. Yesterday morning a race of two miles was run .between Captain BARCLAY, of pedestrian fame, and Lieut. NEEDHAM, at the 7th Hussars, which was won by the latter.

A Dispatch, of Which the following is ati tx4 tract, his heed received this morning by tart Datlitirst, addres«crt to his.-tottiship by the (vasof Weitnigton, dated Cayvajales, May 31, -1813. rriA troops arrived at 'Salamanca on the 2iith ifist: and we found the enemy still in the town, with one division of infantry and three squadrons of cavalry, and some cannon; cif the Army of the South, antler the dcionnand of General Villatte. 'rite enemy evaaitate'd the town at our approach, but they waited longer thou they ought upon the • high ground in the neighbourhood, and afforded an opportunity for the cavalry under Gen. Vane and General Victor Alter) (the former of wititli crossed the 'formes, at the ford of Santa Marina, and the latter at the bridge) to do them a good deal of injury in their retreat. Many were or Wounded, and we took about 200 prisoners, 7 tun-limits of ammunition, sonic baggage, provi sions, &c. The enen y retired by the road of Ba bila Fuentti, and near fluerta were joined.by a body of infantry and cavalry on their march. then ordered our troops to discontinue their pur suit, Our infantry not being up. Major-General Long and Brigadier-General Morillo, in the command of the Spanish division, attacked Alba, front which place the enemy re- tired. In the course of the 27th,and 28th, I establish ed the troops which had marched from the Ague tln and Upper Estremadura, between the Tomes and Douro, under the cotninand of Lieutenant- General Sir RADII, and I set oil' myself on the 29th to join the troops here, and arrived that day at Mi randa de Douro, and here on the 31st. I found the troops on the Esla, tinder the orders of Sir Tho mas Graham, as I had intended with their lett at Tabara, and in communication with the Gallician army, and their right at this place, and all the ar rangenients made for passing the Esla. The greater part passed that river this morning, the cavalry by a ford, and the infantry by a bridge , which it vas' necessary to throw over the river, as it was 'fb steep, thatsome men, even of the caT airy, were lost in the passage. The English hus sars, who crossed. tir , ,t, took an officer awl 3U men prisoneN, near Va!derpices. The enemy have evacuated Zamora, and our pa. troles have been in that town ; the troops whit;: were there have fallen back upon Toro, where J understand they have one division of infantry and a brigade of cavalry. It appears that the enemy have joined at LANs,. va del Rey, the troops which retired from S4 t . maten, Aviia, &c. with those which were at A,v4 ! ralo and Medina del Campo ; and I imagine tha as this part of the army atiVittlCCs, they will relit , across the Douro. The enemy's troops were still at Nadrid and •Q 1 the Tagus on the 2211, but 1 conclude that the will have evacuated that part of the eouatry of hearing of our movements. .
