MILAN, BEPT. `? --According to the last re ports which we have received, the enemy suffered much in the affair at Villach ;' but what is un heard of, ' and what we hardly know how to characterise, that after having first set tire to the town, to effect his retreat, he afterwards burnt The bridge 4ind (.11e suburbs on the left bank, which remained In his power. The, conettet, observed by the Italian troops on this nccatiou was truly noble awl touching ; whilst a part of them re.; plied to the enemy, other worked the' pumps, and employed every means to arrest the 'progress of the fire. Then the inhabitants wereinformed, liet the four corners of the town had been set on fire by orders oldie enemy's General, who email not forgive their affection and fidelity to. wards their sovereign. The inhabitants of Vil lach could not persuade themselves that that Ge neral would carry his, fatal threats into execution, when the enemy, previouS to his retreat, said to them--" I will set your town on fire." . COPENIIAGEN, AUG, 2g.—According to an Or- A t er f rom Illijaty., published by the Supreme Tribimai thecommunication between the Duchy of Md.:twin and the country, of Meek ienbut gh is forbidden under existing circumstances, under very severe penalties.

Our city has suffered lit tle in the critical circuinqanees in which the genius of 'the Emperor excited fresh admiration. atmacao., 841 T. 3.—We successively receive very interesting details .respecting the memorable events .which passed in the neighbourhood of Ores den, thelarter end of last mouth. The enemy, in losing thelfine position of Dolma, wlsere the Em peror of Austria slept from the 24th to the 27th, -s'aw all their plans deranged ; that position was carried lby main force. We arc also assured that a. dabgerous wound which PrinieSchwartzenherg mceived at the commencement of the . actiou on the 27th, greatly contributeattte carry disorder into the Austrian ranks. It issiid that 'General kluitau has taken, ad interim, the command of the Ab,strians, arid the Russian General Count Witt genstein of thut,of the Allied Armies. It appear ed that the three 'Allied Sovereigns made haste to return to Prague, , but .without their armies, .and • that they will there deliberate upon the part they A l iaight to take. • Ettosorters utj SAXON', Smr.

COPENHAGEN, AUG. 22---The auxiliary Den anark corps in Holstein have been raised to 15,000 men, and it is thought it will be reinforced by some ugiments. It is presumed that Govern *vela wvltl deciare,.in the usual forms, war against Eugland„ ttS toron as the harvest is finished, and that provisions tau be furnished to the troops in Norway daring their march. The corps alotonbled in Zealand will be able to sup port the Norwegian army, by undertaking a dis embarkation in Scania, or at leapt threatening it. 1 here are at the present monitot very few troops in 'Sweden. (Ye are urgently recruiting here. Our eonrse of exchange has not ameliorated ; it 'is All at 500. 140141 TUE jETERSBURGII PAPER OV AUG. IT. On the .4th (16th) Aug. including the ,notifi cation of six /Jays, stipulating for the resumption of hostilities, the Armistice was to finish. This space of two months and twelve days having left little hopes of a conclusion of a just unit honour• able peace, it is probable that the bluodycontest on whirls definitively 4lcpends the late of Europe, is about to commence. The enemy, as might be expected, had rather in view, in demanding this suspension of arms, the assembling of new force's to enslave nations who are strangers to him, than, that of restoring that calm Which so many fitottns' rendered so necessary and so precious to them ; but such is the nature of circumstances in which Europe has for such u length of time found herself; it is by blood", - that the Hydra revolution I had its Itirth, that she is soa,ed, and in which she must e\pirc.—it is without doubt said, it is lin 'mill:ging to the human mind that an age, which i f called the age of 'understanding and philosophy, should precisely be that in which the science of crime has bewi cultivated the must profoundly an d the most AccesifollY; that whith has.gi wen the roost dreadful examples of human perversity. Providence , Auise impenetrable decrees laughs at our vain reasonings, after haring punished so much pride, will, a t last, make the good cause triumph.

A. very uafounded and unfavourable opinion having obtained possession of the faculties Of some of oarvanteMporaries, the have this mortt log Wien very utinacesSarily thrown intO-'a .state of uncertainty- with respect to the :nit:render of the Castle of'St. Sebastian. Wexejoice to be en abled to dissipate these •loubts. There was no mistake, nor,any apprehension of mistake, irr the Telegraph e.onuattnication, Cap tain IthsoX, of the President, left the North coast of Spain on the afternoon of the 9th instant. At five o'clock that morning he received a note from Sir Gamma, COLLIER, acquainting hint thut at 12 o'clock .that day the Castle_of ISt. Sebastian woul4 be surrendered, The President stood, Ili towards' St. SebaStian, and accordingly at 12 o'clock a sa, MC was fired, and..the Spanish Colours hoisted on the Castle. ' We trust this statement will remove every ap prehension upon the subject. On the Btlt the French Commandant requested a parley, and - in timated a wish to surrender, on being permitted to march out with the honours of war, and be convey-. ed with his troops and baggage to France. This was refused, and the hour we have mentioned fixed for the unconditional surrender of the Castle, of which event there could he no more irrefragable proof than the unfurling► of the Spanish flag on these hardly-won towers. The Preddcrd anoliored in Cawsand Bay, and having landed' General PIMA' and another Ufti ccr, proceeded to PortimOutli.

Thc numr! of that ilhistrions General is. a towcr of strength, and the partizans of Be 0 NAPARTE feel, that when such men as Mounw anti BEttNADoi - rE arc opposed to their Chief, it raises a tie* and dangerous question of right and policy, in the Vrench Mind, nut as between NArof.rox'au peror, and the Rulers of other States, but - as be tween Duo &APA Win a snccesstul political Specula tor, and other persons of the same quality brOught forward ,by the Revolution. When we say of the same quality, we beg to be understood in the limited sense, which will occur to every observant man, as applying only to the rank in soc:ety of the parties named, Mid in no degree to their moral characters, in which cave; indeed, it would be dif ficult to name a 'human creature so utterly vile as to be • capable of standing in comparison with a' monster. 11` uifti firtnte redemptum. %nen Iltsox.xv,traz wars against his ci-dcoant compatriots; memory recurs to former titles, his intperial trappings full from his incuutbercd form, and the people of France arc forcibly reminded of his original nothingness. The dazzling incidents and ;adventitious splendours since added, to cover and conceal the meannesS•of the individual are re moved, and the country will look with a more equal eye to the vital 'question, bow much it, has lost or gained by the usurpation of this Corsican Adventurer.—From much consideration of the subject in this point of view, the most be neficial consequences must ensue, and we have little doubt, but the re-appearance .of Mott EAU up on the European . stage will contribute greatly` to the crisis, which' we trust is now approaching, when France anti Europe - shall rejoice over the corpse of,the most ambitious and Woody Tyrant that ever existed. By an article' in theSe Papers, under the date of Copenhagen, the 28th, we obserVe, that all coin, munications between Holstein and Meeklenberg is prohibited. Js theDardsli(ioverinnent afraid that the spread of information will •def its subjects from the infamous war into which they are phingiql ,to enable a despot to subjugate Europe We be lieve that no orders or decrees can pi rent this, and that DAvousT has sufficient reason to .know that he must not depend on the Danish portion of his army,—nor is the spirit of disaffection to the Usurper's cause confined to One country. It is,miiitersal, and opportunity alone is wanting to slim his banners deserted, and those who are now unwillingly dragging his chain, cheerfully rallying round the' standards of his adversaries. Acv ices of a late date from Koningsberg assert, that Prince PAUL of WURITINIBERG has gone.orer to the Allies with WO regiments of cavalry, and and that his example has been followed by many timaller parties. We also learn from the best authority, that the Elector of lIEssE CASSEL, actually residing at Prague, and much esteemed by his Imperial MA 7 JINTY, will , in' the cpurse of the campaign, cal led his faithful subjects to form a GERMAN tR7 GION in the service of the, Emperor of AUSTRIA. AMong the ,number of officers -and men who hive left the French army and joined the . Crown Prince of S'WEnEx, there are sereral Westphalian officers of note, who will be employed to form new partizan corps, and be attached to General Dons araw's command. • Even in the full tide of triumph which accompa ,ities the exertions of the Regent's Ministers,—ht the midst of that effulgence of glory with which 1 • Providence has crowntd their labours for the wel fare oldie, country, over the affairs of which they ho prosperously and happily preside, the malig • mint' eye of Party envy • endeavours to disc . over specks and blemishes; to gratify its. diseased and inveterate habit of detraction. .The old theme . :lisapproval; because troops have been, sent to St6hUnd,. is this morning renewed by the organ of,the woe-,begone and depressed Faction, (with whom, indeed, tha.lErcury is very low, when the sueccst:cs of their , country' uninterruptedly rise so high), and thus writes their worthy partizan : " IVc cannot close our ob4errat ion on the capture of St ,Sehlstian's, witliont agani expres:ong our sorrow, that the troops genet° stralitind were nut under Lord WFLGINGTUN at the period of the first assault.
