Baths at Taeplltz, July 20. Scarcely have I arrived at the Baths, where Dave come to endeavour to, re-establish my bealth, nod already do you, ny friend, overwhelm me with questions. Although near the town where the Plenipotentiaries front the Continental Powers are a si : em blip g , 1 'canoot, any more; than you, toresee the result of thitt assembly, which appears' to have to regulate the destiny of the world. in the absence of positive facts, public cariosity is exercised "in conjectures'.: The secret Intentions ofCom ts are • attempted to be di:wort:red in the choice of their reFesentatives; their prisate lives„ their moral lives are scrutinized ; in /heir ,ktiown characters they look for the proof of the good in , . tentions tE , f their Governments. If the tumperor of France bad not already pr4ved iti9 high magnanimity in arresting the car of victory, the choice which he imai made, in the. Duke of Vicencc and Count de Narbonne would be an unequivocal proof of his wishes for a gene-: rat pacification. These Plenipotentiaries arc in vested either with time first employments of the State, or the intimate confidence of their raster; their rank, their moral qualities, guarantee to Ft'ance the care which they will talie to support the dignity of their Sovereign, and the noble ef tutrh they will, in MS name, make to 'ensure the repose of the world. • ' • • ' Auktriu honottro byrself, and is honoured, by •the belligerent powers by the choice of her Am bassadors at the Congreses. tilt; reiipett due to the well-known intentions of her Ciovernment,. .is joined that of their illustrious names.

The long delay which Russia employed in her choice, seem eiti to be justified by the importance of ttim RICO to he chosen. o r The an nals of Russia also afford glorious names. The title of Plenipotentiary to a:Con gress, the result of which must affect the most distant posterity, could and would•have t tlattercil the pride of the iltaieflt Russian fentilics ; this banotir has devolved upon strangers.

Neither ought.our enemy's courage 401 to be forgotten, as the more we 'crilip to tlitlll thos.e rqualifiee, the possession of which they -to eminently displayed in these battles, the• more we justly enhance the merit s of .thrir compiccors. We are told, that theix leading columns were composed of troops that had n.evcr yet met Britons face to face, and -con sequently little knew the invincible character of those to whom they were opposed, Their ma nteuvring was beautiful. .Sout...r was personally conspicuous, and all his officers emnhted the bravery and activity of their Commander, who is reported to hive had a narrow escape from being tai...en prisoner. 11latty French Officers were seen with colours in their bands ; leading on their men —others with drums heating, at the head of their troor ; but the soldiers, though brave, were not thought fully equal to their officers. Itwould seem that the active siege of St. Sebas tian had not been resumed, but that the utmost exec Lions were making to bring so heavy a force of artillery against it as to atfoul the best hope of its being immediately reduced. The defeat of Somr must he very disheartening to the garrison. Pam plona is represented as being likly to fall imme diately from the want of provisions. So .vitally important are these strong frontier positions, that it is not unlikely the enemy may make some further desperate efforts tt relieving tlicm . It is now„ there fore ,that the connexion bet ween.

The Emperor of,AurratA has,•we learn, writ ten to one of the Allies (Sweden) stating, what he wishes is a general, lair, awl impartial pacification of. Europe ; nod that such a pacifibt tion his Majesty was using his utmost endeavours to obtain, by negociation first ; but if that Liled, he was then ready to employ his armies, and to join the Allies for the attainment of the same end. It is also said, that the Austrian Ainbassadois at certain of the Allied Cqurts have -declared to the above effect ;, adding, that similar intimations bad been given to BUONXPA wrE himself by their master, that in case be would not accept of rea sonable conditions, be must expect to find Aus tria in the mimber of lain enemies. The above accounts ore confirmed by . further ar riviils. The Emperor FRANCIS is further said to, have laid a plAu for the commenting cairipaign be fore the Allies, in case 111.10';i,APARTE rejects his proposals. Hattilmrgh is rumoured to be a bone of contention between France on the one,part, and Rusiia and Prussia on the other: and upon this unhappy city BUONNPAUTE appears to be ex ercising such spoliation, as if he Apprehended' , he might lose it, and was deteradned to leave., it sis little worth possessing 'us possible, He has at length succeeded in zo apportioning his contribu tions, that the city. has engag,ed to attempt the proof of their practicability, by advancing what they can: Fourteen millions of francs is the sum to be exacted. • Such is the Momentous, and we trust authentic intelligence_brought by the la.st Mails from Ger many.
