Deserving fellow s :Citizens, svho invest ed with the natioaal representation are destined to succeed os; hasten to complete and bring to perfection the great, work which we leave in your hands. Qtrrsu as the honour tri prepare the way for you ; yours be the glory to bring the whole to a conclusion. Every thing announces that the day of the sals - aims and liberty of our country it hastily approaching ; and you perhaps are those' whom fleaven has pointed out to fix its destiny.; you will . fix it without more labour than Merely not impeding , or disturbing the course of things, Mid profiting by the advantages now ()tiered by 'the political and military situation of Europe, and: especially of Spain, so different, alt ! so different from that in which the present Cortes were in- . stalled. 'then shaken and tottering were all the pillars of the social edifice, and the State, as is were almost dissolved,. you then placed on P solid and firm basis. Ardent was then the Spanish enthusiasm but this flame was defulened when the people perceived that the awcient laws, and the anelent abuses of power still subsisting, the, inestimsbie sacrifice of their lives was lavished for the vain idea of not changing the name of - their oppressors : at present this patriotic flame shall remain inextinguishable, because the people fight and conqueror the for beneficent institutions, for a real country, and for the real good of their m• dependence. Then Almost all Europe was en• slaVed and oppressed, There was scarcely any country but in the hearts of the Spaniards, end our enemies threatened. us at the very gates of Cadiz. Now almost all is free, and we threaten ed the euemy in his frontiers. 'Ve now have con chided all , ances with great powers, which we for.. Inert), wanted ; and our' ancient friends, finding themselves by our constancy in a better situation, contribute more effectOally to our liberty.' Sicilian, troops combat with ours ; the numerous and va.: liant Portuguese Army has' covered itself, with glory on our plains. Great and generousSngland sees her sons crowned with Spanish laurelit'Whiph shall never fade; and besides the assistance which she has lent to the common cause, has the foitune and glory of having setit the ever unconquered *Wellington, the immortal Captain of the Allred Armies, ever triumphant. Then the whole North was sunk in a lethargic slumber ;, now the Magna , . ItillIOUS Successor of Catherine has beat 'cown'and detroyed, More than once, the haughty trench eagles ; and after his example, the Snecessori of Gustavus and Frederick have also raiied, - their heads. We have now a million of enemies less than then; and those which remain are less for.- ' midabli to us train the moral force which we have gained, and which they have lost. We had then a flovernment, which from its unsteadiness and id acknowledged atithority, was not what circum stances requited ; but you will find one composed of persons, who, by their moderation, their vir. tue, and their love to the system which the Coates have established for the good of the people, must produce the happiness of the' people. " Beware, then, oh ! deserving successors to our honour and our labours, that nothing disappoint circumstances so favourable. Jim you arc founded all the hopes of the Spanish people, and the hopes of that people so great, so virtuous, and so w or thy to be happy, s h a ll not be disappointed. Preserve inviolate the sacred and beloved deposit of the Constitution which we deliver to you, and recoil'» mend to your care •eith the greateSt affection. It is the delight of the Spaniards, who have received it with the most voluntary and most solemn vows. Watch carefully over its observance, since it alone can maintain always alive the patriotic fire ; it alone can be the iris of Peace in the wild storms which agitate unrorrimate America, 'and it alone must be the' bond Which strictly and cordially unites all the brethren of this immense and vir tuous family. But these wishes which the nation forats for its prosperity, arc intimately Mingled with others no less ardent and sincere for the most beloved of its Kings, far the innocent and onfor tonate youth Ferdinand of Bourbon ; and if even in his slavery this amiable Prince was time idol of the people, and all hop e d 'th a t lie would break his chains with a strong !mud in 'the clay of his power, what must be now our wishes to see him free in the midst of tis what our hopes that he will cause the happiness of his 'people, when he was heard to call for the Ineetitig of the Cortes, which are the bulwark of Spanish liberty 1 when he has felt the Weight of persecution and inisfortutie, and wheii its doing ggod he would not base to encoun ter the obstaeles whkh would have been opposed ter hitn,:by the interest of those who live by dis order, the force of custom, and the respectable crumple of his predecessors'. 01 that !!haven would fulfil these suss ho F sA, and aceepthos the profuse sacrifice of our blood, listen propitiously to the vows which resound.night and day through our public places, our domestic wa ll s , an d t h e eugust roof of National Congress !—Oh ! may we see him with out own eyes, in the bosom of his great family, and may we hear'him with our own ears caned, the father and friend of his people And you, worthy and generous:representatives of the Spanish people, 'glory in your lab Ours, and in your exertions. The applause of natioiss, the con gratulations of the good, the murmurs of the disposed, and the indignation of the envious this i s your eulogium. " The love and gratitude of Spaniards, and the happiness of the, country—this is your reward. Nevertheless, I tell you, that the moment of our se patation having artived, evils (tad persecutions are preparing for you, because this is the ordinary fall of those who upon earth, rooting out abuses, promote the public good and virtue. Brit no ; our singular and glorious revolution has rest o r e d. t o Spaniards their ancient character and their first virtues ; you will receive the rich harvest of the benedictions of your fellow-eitizens. Go, then, to inform them uf the benoAts which the ConstittT don has prepared tor them tell them that'the rel(triun of their forefathers remains pure, entire:, unhurt ;: fik their opinion, shodld it be wander.; 'rig; and to those places who may still he dokht fat, hecaase-.they do not know the wishes and real intentions cif the National Congress, and are. .therefore unfortunately misled by an ideal inde pendence—tell them, convince them, that the greatest enemiek„to slavery cannot wish for more liberty than this•memotable code of our rights in sures to them. Take such measures, that, well instructed in their duties, and nobly proud of their dignity, . they may think and act lik e Sp an i ar d s ; that by their social and moral virtues they may terve as a Triodel to all notions in the world and that the Spanish 'citizen may be what. was in for mei times the Roman, an object of ambition even to litags." • ments.df the good c ity of Amsterdam, and that i! will scan proceed to-the place of its destioAtion. Ltlrsic, 6......411C Gazette -of this city. contains the 'following articleL . :— • " The Prince of SWeden has for- sortie time been issuing publications, - which may, •b denominated pantphlets. it is inconceivable, that this Prince should so far forget the rank to which be has been raised, as to sign productions issuing from the brains of a Kotzebue, a Schlegel, -a Sarazin, or, a Goldschmidt. The public asks, with astonishment, is not this Prince the same Prince of Note Corvo, whom the Trench Govern ment designed to appoint Marshal, and has since loaded with favours and gifts ? is he not ttie saute Marshal, who, in Ham! urgh, Hanover, and El bing, imposed such heavy contributions, merely to fill his private coffers ? Is he not that Berna dotte, that violent Jacobin, who during his lega tion to the Court of Vicuna, displayed the tri coloured flag, and occasioned his expulsion from that city ?' is .he not the same Bernadotte, whose ptinciple'S France contemns, and who, but for the indulgence and protection of the Emperor Napo leon, who generously-forgave his errors, in ,con sideration of his alliance :with his family, must now have been grovelling in the dust ? Assuredly this is the very saute man--he who owes his de vation to the Throne of Sweden, only to the ad miration and regard which the power and suc cesses of France had excited in Sweden, and who could not have seated himself on that throne but with the permission and consent of France. It shocks us to behold ingratitude, degradation, and disregard of every honourable. feeling, carried to such an. extreme. According to the opinion of persoos who have the best means of information, the reason of this conduct is, that being paid by • EnglantL it has been imposed upon him as a duty, to degrade himself, and to break for ever with France; and with this vies . he has been led to accept Guadaltrape, a French possession, and has promised to sign • all the libels that the English may think proper to compose. Sonic deem it quite natural, that the Prince of Sweden, like all other renegadoes, should fignrc, as the most s ta lent enemy of his country. • Others, in short, think that this Prince is rather to be pitied, inas much as his mother having been deranged, and. some of his brothers and sisters being actually in sane, be may have been impelled to his present . line of conduct, by attacks of the saute malady.= The destiny of Sweden, in fact, is truly singular. She expels from the Throne a Prince of disorder ed intellect, and calls to it a French General, who, born a Catholic, is compelled, as the first act of his government, to abjure his religion ; and this same General, the twentieth only in rank in the French army, whose principles and mica! charac ter are held in such slight estimation in his na tive country, is the son and brother of !mimics, and already begins himself to experience the at tacks of that malady."

VitENCLI PAPERS. • NUREMBERG, Ocr. 18.—According to accounts from' Saxony of the 16th October, there have been several bloody battles between the French and coalesced corps, in which the first 'have con stantly had the advantage ; but there has been no general affair. • • PARIS : OCT. 26.---The last accounts received front Leitsic speak of several advantages gained by the French. They assure us that on..the 19th the. Emperor's head-euarterS were at Weissenfels, a shOrt distance from the celebrated field of battle of Lutzcn. At that time . his Majesty was ex nelx well, and the health of his Highness the Prince of NEUrCHATEL was re-established. FaAsixraitt, OCT. 21.—We are assured that.it was the .corps of Prince de LICHTENSTEIN, joined to that of TIIIELMANPS, which was completely de feated on the I.2th by the Duke of CASTIGLIONE. The head-quarters of , the Emperor have been sue, cessively at IVurtchen, Eirenbourg, and Duben.• jt was on.the 10th inst. itt the latter, and be was still there on the 14th.._ FRANKFORT, OCT. 22.-Letters from Erfurt au nOunce, that on the 19th the Emperor again beat the enemy. Fresh letters from Erfurt, which we have just received state, that the affairs of the llth, arid 12th, in which - 400 prisoners were made, took place against General &yenta and' the Prince 'Royal of Sweozw. A new battle fought On the 14th near Debso.ll, in which the Prussians were completely defeated, is talked of. 2A—A dispatch from General . Bssilt4,lro, commanding the 4th corps of the drind'Army, arrived at Erfurth, dry Estalette i on the 20th inst. It was dated the preceding evening, and announced that the Emperor had again just completely beaten the enemy, and that his Majesty was in excellent health. OCT. 22.—The head-quarters are still at Gradisca. Our troops occupy the same posi tion. Several deserters front different regiinents, who arrived yesterday at our advanced posts, re port that the euemy's army suffers much, in the position which it occupies, from the bad wea ther, which has continued several days, by the overflowing of the torrents, and by the extreme difficulty of bringing up provisions into the mann-, twins oceapie.: by the enemy. The Proclamation Olthe-Viecroy has produced a great effect through out all Italy.

BAyoNRE, Ocr. 16.—The French army, under the orders of Marshal the Duke of Dalmatia, has just gained a considerable advantage over the An glo-Spanish troops. ' Fonr hundred English, unit a still greater number of Spanish prisoners have arrived within our walls. FEtONTIERS OF SAXONY, OCT. 13.----The corps d'ariae of the Duke of Castiglione is still posted at Jena. A 'report has been in circulation of a battle haring taken 'place on flint side, but no thing authentic or official is known in that re spect. Virt 4 NA, OCT. Field Marshal Prince Schwartzenherg, in - order to maintain order and repress exceses, which isolated columns, and es. peeially stragglers from time combined army, Might commit, as well in his rear, as in the country_ where they are, published on the 28th of Setern, ber, ttt Toeplitz, an order of the day, which, among other dispositions., notes the following The Austrian Major General Baron lier;a, genberg, will command, in•COMMOiI with theßns sian Lieutenant-General de nerries, the movable columns of the eombined ;army, destined to re press excesses. They will judge the guilty, and the sentence shall be immediately carried into execution. To form these movable cohinins, the Russian, Austrian, and Prussian armies, shall each furnish a battalion of infantry, and three squadrons of cavalry. There shall be established, in the most considerable places upon the principal roads of communication in therein of the army, military.commandants, MI6 shall have under their orders sufficient forces, and who will maintain the military force not only in. the place where they command, hut in their vicinities, send under es corts stragglers to their regimentsi and deliver to the commandauts of the nearest moveable co lumns those who 'may have committed excesses. This order shall beread three following days to the troops of the combined army, in their parttcular language, and afterwards every eight days." AMSTERDAM, OCT. 19.----The 'Municipal Council of our city, assembled extraordinarily, solicited the favour of sending a Deputation to Paris, to convey to the foot of the throne, the'expression of the sentiments of devotion, respect, and sub mission, which animate the inhabitants of this th i rd c i ty o f, t h e emp i re , and answer the voice of her Majesty the Empress Queen and Regent. We learn with lively pleasure, that this Depu tation was. permitted to express to tier the senti- LONDON, Af 0 Nl)4}; NOPEM it it 1811. When the news of the crossing of the Sank by .he Army of the North of, Germany arrived, and in all the opinions we have since delivered upon the probable course that BUONAPAUTE would pur sue, is the dilemma to which that brilliant move .ment had reduced him, we have been nniforin in stating cur expectation, that he " must attack the Allies, and endeavour to cut his way to the Rhine,“ (SuN of Tuesday last) and further, that his line of operation would be " from Leipsig, in a south west direction, by Weissenfels, Naumbourg, Dornburg, Jena, and in short by the route by which Aucieweau advanced front Franconia, and thence (if he could not defend them) re tire by the strung positions, near Erfurt, and the difficult country of Thuringia." (Sufi of Thursday). By French Papers to the 29th, arrived since our last, it will be seen that the Tyrant has com menced the attempt to force a passage to the French frontier, precisely in the direction we have pointed out. Before taking tr view of the intelli gence furnished by these journals, it is worthy of that the re is notone remark, syllable official in the French Papers op to the 28th inclusive, though the claim of the chief victory on the 19th, is as serted in the publications of the 26th. The natural conclusion is that this victory was a defeat. For what did BuoNAPARTE fight ? To open his com munications with Prance ! In this he has as appears by the absence of a nulled!) to an nounce his success, and the parade made of an Estafette having arrived at Erfurt!i with the ti- di ngs of this triumph. If we ask, " how comes it that this Messenger was not, in the space of two tvhole days, followed by others the bearers of further particulars," we will perceive at once, in the inability to anawcr the question, that IivoNA PARTR b a d been foiled in his attempt, and was , at least up to the 20th, unable to force hi s w ay through the Allied Arm :es closing on dr his retreating force on'the tight and left, Oa ev'cry footstep teaching bin' .that be ,W 55 elf 'troggling through blood to . place lingself r, more tvithio the destructive tire of Ivo ovcrwlielt ~,tflilooller;eisbs.ii()lreioicertl)::::sutt;.:ronlitient Nets, Ves7,:tecitierbeypettilt)cios unauthentieated letters from various 1 413"31 rif removed from thelseene of action, of ath'atitages gainerl-bv AudgREAU, &C , " I ' l4 11th taid 126—a reportof an action at Dess o l the 14th, in which * t he Prussians were beatea---314, the report to which we have-already andel , el a victory gained .by BtiONAPARTE hiaalf oeit lVeissenfeli, where he estoblished his Ilefel-litilir tern on the'l9th.
