This ready . solUtiOn recoil cues all apparent contradictions. • It is in this manner, we trust, that the enemy's predictions have been verified,, and that it has been as prisoners.of war that his troops have en tered Berlin. In truth . it appears, from . the Mail, that Ilamburgla, and not Berlin, iss-threatened with victorious entry. VANDAMIE, the patron of its Oppressor 1100ENDORF, is said to be dead of his Wounds ; and dismay and consternation have be come appatent among the remainder Prenek whose presence pollutes that once free and flou-: rishing place. Again the spoliators are k packing' up their own and their pilfered property, pre vious, we earnestly hope, to a departure, which will be succeeded by no return, Hamburgh, with its spirit and cause of vengeance, is no situation for a weak garrison, when the armies of the Tyrant 'are defeated.

As for the' " general surprize,". as it means no more than that the writer who used the words thought Sir ROBERT WILSON more eligible to the mission than Lord BURGFICRSH, we shall not stop to examine the imbecility of the assertion. Neither shall we enter into, the proverbially odious task of comparing the two persons named together. Of Sir R. Wusorr, of his eminent services, of his zeal and devotion, of his worth ) talents, and consi deration at home and abroad, no one can be More sen , sible. than ourselves, or more ready to applaud to the echo. He is the man after our own hearts—.-the determined foe to BUONAPARTE, and the ardent lover 'ofhis native land.. There is no stile of com mendation of such a man as we know Sir ROBERT WILSON to be, to which we will not subscribe, and, if our powers of lauguagnenabled us, which we would not exceed in terms adequate to pay that tribute which his conduct on every occasion de serves. But we see no reason, therefore, to dis approve of the appointment of Lord Butionaasn on the contrary, we highly applaud that liberality of Government which, to the endowments and exertions of Sir R. WiLsow on the mighty scene of action ,will add the endowments and exertion of Lord BURG/Ib:RM. Surely there is ample room for the full exercise of the faculties—the full employment of the energies of both. Sir ROBERT WILSON is attached to the Russian Head-quarters—Lord BURGIIERSH is to he attached to the Austrian. There is therefore not even an interference, or a priority given, far less any thing done that can be construed into a supersession of even a claim to which. the . former might be considered. as en titled. The situations are distinct and of equal importance, , and, it might with as much chew of reason have - been complained against as in jurious to Lord CATHCART that Lord ABERDEEN was sent to the Anstrian Cabinet, as that it is• injurious to Sir Roam Wtt.sosr that Lord BuaGnattsit has been nominated to the• Austrian 'Head-quarters. As for the ability of this .young Nobleman to undertake and well to perform the arduous duty entrusted to him, we presume there can he no difference of opinion upon that subject. A person better fitted for the station, from his rank and accomplish ments, his acquirements of every kink . knowledge of the continental languages, manners 'and ap pearance, connected with more solid, though scarcely less recommendatory qualifications, could scarcely be presented for the Choice. of Ministers. That choice we hold to 'he equally honourable to the Noble Lord ; and creditable to the judgment of those 'who have selected him for this great trust. 4n attempt was _yesterday made to revive the report of our heroic Commander, on whose per sonal welfare,, as . well as on whose genius, the fate of . so many nations depends, , baying been seriously injured by # fall from his torse„, among the rocky aud difficult passes of' the Pyrenees.— The same report was in circulation before the ar rival of the last dispatches from the gallant Mar quiso.whieh ought, frotu,their date, to haycset the idle rumour at rest. The same accident is related of O'DoNNELL,iii the Cuiliz Papers. A Gentleman who has, it is said, arrived in town • : from Paris, which capital : he left about twelve hours after the publication of the Papers of the instant, states, that no: further military intelli gence hid then transpired.

It was very soon afterwardk proved to be totally unfounded ,and aecordingly con tradicted. We have now further received (ruin the brigade the most complete testimony to the uniform gooi conduct of the men. it has been so exemplary, that there has not been u single c4rge preferred against any soldier of the Lite Guards Aincetheir arrival in the Peninsula, to cause a GreneraKonrt Martial—ttud that there has scarcely been a town or village in Portugal or Spain, in which they have hcen quartered, that the principal inhabitants have nut testified, in the most distinguished man ner, their unqualified approbation, in consequence of the good and orderly conduct of the men ; in somuch, that the Marquis of WELtazio - Tom was pleased to order these regiments into towns when ever it was possible in the line of march.
