We rejoice that the soul which aspired after universal dorninion,, could not stoop to the acceptance of a mighty and secure Empire. The Allies assert, that the terms they offered to bu oNAPARTE, were not influenced by the triumphs • their arms bad just achieved ; that,they.werc mod , derate, " fOunded on the independence of the Fiend Empire, as well as on the independence of the other States of Europe ; that they were " ge nerous and liberal in their application, giving se curity to all, honourable to each ; that they " de sire France to be great, powerful, and happy."— FAS EST AI3 lIOSTE nocrat is a gooditxoni, and in this Proclamation the example of the, adver sary during. eighteen years of success has been v ery advantageously copied. To offer gene- X( 3 03 and liberal terms of peace in the hour of victory, is the best method that could he devised to terminate the sinking popularity of 110Navatm in France. We svish,the terms had i i , been distinctly stated, 'in order that every man * Wit exercise his own judgment in detcraiining Mtether or no they possessed the attributes ascribed to , therft • enough is avowed to satisfy -the --alt . sceptic a l mind on the s general tendency g'.) : f the se fillers, when it is declared that a ter ritory more extensive and powerful than ever, t ithei ent and legal Sovereign of France enjoyed, ' la ' been laid at the feet of the person, now I t H Prellie in th a t country. Having refused this, r'is ambitious designs are opened to the whole "id. Who is he, let the people of Fr'ance 'NI the people of every nation ask themselves -110 is he that will rather involve mankind in tailless misery and blootl than accept of an Em he co-equal in magnitude and strength to that b r Louts tine bath?' it is BUbNAPARTE,. the son an (abscure Corsican—a person whom intrigue, l '" nli 'tlon, and assatsination have elevated to a 4; rl 2' it of poir e r in which moderation might have established him, but from which, we trust, Iris last arrogant abuse of foot tine will hurl him ill di sgrace and ruin.

To meet these, exertions are malting to sent Las many Conscripts as can be raiied to .Aletz,.where the grand 'army of France is assembled under, a Count Beliard,-;- , -and the Lower is eudea 4 voured to be strengthened by . the same deserir Lion of Force who arc replacing the divisions directed against Holland. Thus it appears that 13UONAPARTE attaches more importance to the latter Object than even .to the de , fence of the Rhine, of which it cannot be supposed the exhausted population of the regions of Ole Meurthe and Moselle arc capable. The News in the Paris Papers are from strange quarters ; for instance, the exploits of the garri son of Magdeburg(' are sell; from Suabia, and of the Government of. Madrid fro in J3ourdeaux ! Have the towns under the Emperor :become un able to furnish the neces - Sary quota of falsehoods for themselves ?, On the side ofSWitzerland nothing determinate has yet , taken place. It would seem, from their dispatching Envoyd. to Paris and *Frankfort (Co the latter place, the glorious' patriot ALOYS REDING), that the Swiss did really desire to preserve neutrality. This cannot be allowed. Switzer land has been' happily compared to a two-edged sword between Germany and France it, will cut or protect either in the case of invasion. When the Directory am! when BUONAPARTE pushed vic tory to the gates of Vienna, Switzerland was the revolutionised creature and instrument in the hand of France; and now,when retaliation looksfrom the Danube to the Seine, Switzerland cannot be permit ted to throw the shield of ~ wotertion over France. Negociations are going on, and we trust the Al 7. lies will succeed in detaching the Helvetic Body from their subserviency to France. MU RAT 'is pushing a force from Naples to help his Master in' Italy ; 10,000 men are'said to have reached Rome in' their way to Bologna. A di version in . Calabria would now be an 'excellent ' 1.14 i . service. A Swedish Bulletin will 'be found in our last page, It is interesting, though the successes it refers to are not solate as 'one preceding informa tiou, and were none of them previously unkown.

" The enemy's'sentries had fired upon some fo raging parties, but .a company ofpowNic's Le gion drove them back without difficulty. " The enemy had bestowed prodigious labour on the tete-du-pont at Cambo : thousands of men bad worked upon it for a long time; it is now de strOyed .by the British. ".I..he Prince of ORANGt; embarked on Wednes day last, and on the_following morningarrived,the glorious intelligence of the insurrection in Hol land Royal Youth will lead them on to. glory there. " Sir Rowt,AND Hit-L's hounds threw off on the Ist of December for the first time, and the season of diversion has begun." By the arrival of a Gentleman from the Head quarters of Lord WELLINGTON, we learn, that so far from any necessity existing to occasion a . retrograde movement on the part of 'the British Army, on account of the scarcity of provisions, forage,'Std. the Army was never better supplied, or more comfortably situated than it has been since it crossed the Pyrcnileut:. It appears, that so secure was SOULT in the strength of his defences, which he deemed im greguable, that no precautions were adopted co destroy his magazines of forage, or drain the country, consequently a considerable supply vas obtained. The Gentleman alluded to states, that the Vic tory of Leipsic was known at gritish Head-qunr. ters as soon or sooner than in London ;' a suppo sition of some disaster having befallen the French was excited by the sudden suspension of the usual intercourse, that had subsisted between the Officers at the oat-posts, and the event was finally acknow ledged by the French Officers. Our communicant left the Army in the highest state of health and spirits, without any appear ance of a movement being intended by its valor ems and indefatigable Commander , though be admits, that those who pretend to judge by'ap pearances of his Lordships intentions, must gene rally err in their conjectures. We this day insert a part of the Speech of a Doctor . DtionmeoLe, at the Dublin Catholick Parliament.—llis resolution wo carried unani mously, with the exception of a Mr. SHIEL, 4110 truly described 'himself in such company as an infelixpuer. - It opens the views of this dan gerous party, and their design to s ubvert theTro testant Religion, ascendancy, and CPustiPltim. ), le4sl covertly than any former proceeding,..anit we earnestly recommend it to the attention of our Protestant Countrymen.

NrUitPEA AT VAUXBALL The Magistrates and Officers of tow-street and Union MB have been, and' arc still very active in their endeavours to find, out and bring to condign punishment the perpetrators of this hovrid deed, and we hope will ultimately succeed in their endeavours. It will be recollected that it was by the perseverance of the police that Patch was brought to punishment for the murder of Mr. Blight, the Coroner's inquest having in that case brought in a verdict of murder against some person or, persons unknown, as with the ease in the murder of Mr. Murray at Vauxhall. In the case of Patch, 'Mr. GRAHAM, the Magistrate, went to the spot, and investigated all the circum stances in a most minute awl particular manner, and by the exertion and perseverance of the late Anthony, the Bow-street officer, under the di rection of the Magistrate, sufficient circum stantial evidence was procured to found a con viction, and in which a dirty pair ot stud:nip was very essential evidence. In the case of the murder i3l Mr. Murray, .at Vauxhall, Mt. ItittNtE..hars actual iu a ciaaailt3r arratnf,rr , by vision - the premises, o'int interrogating 1m -swift on the sprit, &c. -On Saturday; Goff, Collin,•,borne, and another of the Union-Hall officer apprehended two men on suspicion,of being concerned in the :murder, and the same daY they underwent on e x a • initiation before Mr. BIRNIR, Itt On Tuesday the same officers apprehended another man on suspicion of being concerned with the othertwo men in the same offence. IN under went an examination that day before Mr. BlRtita. The prisoner% were all proved to be connect e d t o . gether, dart there was a chasm in.their account. After the examination Mr. BIRNIR WOHt to Viitek , hall, examined the premises, and every person who could give the least intelligence of the perpetration of the ho; - rid deed. On Tuesday evening, Smith's party.of th e P a , trole belon g i ng to th e Public Office, liow-strevt, Ml° guard Vatixbull and Lambeth, apprehended a man on suspicion of being concerned in com initting the murder. On ‘Vednesday:he was exa mined before Mr. NAIIBS and Mr. ThRNIe. Yes terday the same party of the eidrole brought an other man to the Office on the same charge, be fore Mr. 13iaVir. These two men are proved to be conneetell with the three mini in custody at Union-Dull. ',They left London the day after the murder, went to Gravesend i agreed to enter into the East India :service, but alterwods altered their minds, and returned to London on Tuesday. Sortie of the men in custody at Union-liall have been proved to have'beea seen in the neighbonr hood of Vauxhall on the night or morning of the. murder. They are all committed for further exa. urination.
