We rejoice to observe, that the King of the Nytherlands has appointed the Duke of WEL •LINGTOn a Field Marshal in his service, by which means this consummate Warrior becomes Gene ralisSimo of the Allied Army, which forms the grand right wing of the Invading Powers. We have understood, that in case of attack by the Enemy, his Grace has made preparations to fight hint at Steinkirch. There is therefore not an atom of foundation for the gt atuitoni and well-meant assertion "of the Morning Chronicle, that, our gallant Chieftain woulfl, if assailed, abandon the Netherlands without a blow, and shelter himself behind the Prussians at Maestriel The Emperor ALEXANDER has ass►►►ned the title of King of Poland, and addressed ,a letter to the Presideia of the Polish Senate announcing this event, and assuring the Nation that -it shall be governed according to its own Constitution ! Another important piece of intelligence is that the King of SAXofrt"'' has signed the cession of part of his territory to Prussia, and himself ceded to the Alliance agalust BUONAPARTE. The most important intelligence brought by the French Papers of the 22u (which we received this morning) i► the Declaration of War against &Jo- NAPARTE by t' a Spanish Government. The Dc- claration is said to have been issued on the 2d of May. The exertions of Spain in ofganizing a military force to, act as its contingent in the pre sent crisis, the promptitude with which its frontiers .vere occupied by, its troops, and the decision with whiell all intercourse with the Rebel Government in France was forbidden, are proofs of zeal in the cause of honour and virtue, second to none of themther States of Europe. But one of the most noble acts that has graced the annals of any Government, is recorded in the Decrees of the Spanish Monarch (the-lbesotted, bigot ted, . infamous FERDINAND," of our Patriot scribes and orators) for the provision for the widows and orphans of those who fell in the struggle for the emancipation of Spain from the usurpa tion of BUONAPARTE. The substance of these will be found among our extracts from the French Papers. We the rather dwell upon this subject on account of the foul calumnies and vulgar abuse with which our Ally of Spain has been assailed by the retained Adherents of- 800- NAFARTE in this Country. The Champ de Mai, like the Review of the National Guard of Paris, has been postponed for two days.--We shduld not• wonder that it also met with further delays. The cumbrous machinery for this humbug may not be ready, -The Paris Papers, though equally willing,-are not near so able at the task of delusion as their Allies Ors this side.of the Channel. It would be long before our Talents' Gazette would be so stupid as to deny desertions and publiSh orders 'for re pressing them ; swear there were no insurrections, and insert Decrees - denouncing them it one half of the Pt ovinces of France ; say that the most per fect freedom reigned, and record the appoint ments of a' most inquisitorial and despotic Po lice ; - and boast of a new, Constitution of Liberty and Equality in the same columns with Proclama tions which place whole districts under military Jaw, arrest whole classes on suspicion of being suspected, -and banish other classes for fear they should revolt. lVe republish the Official Bulletin confirmative of the overthrow of Signor Mugu., which was From accounts brought by a Dutch Mail this morning, and inserted under our usual head, the learn that the French army which was coneen. , trated about-Valenciennes has made a sudden movement on its right, advancing towards Givet on the Maese, in three columns of 16,000 each. Givet is only•twenty miles from Namur, and in the direction of Liege, so that there can be little doubt but this demonstratio►l is aimed at the Prussian force cantoned in these districts. It is not improbable that the Enemy has been led to this manceitvre from a supposition that his in triplet, had been successful in instilling a spirit of mutiny and revolt into a portion of the Allied troops ; hut he that as it may, the moveme►►t is decisive, and the critical moment h►as arrived. Yesterday the Euphrates frigate, Captain PRES TON, dmphion ditto, Captain STaWAUT, and Efit pgich sloop of war, Captain Cone, sailed fioni Portsmouth with sealed orders. Yesterday Mr. JOHN Qutuctt ADAMS . • the w American Minister to our Court, landed at Dover, and proceeded to town. We und?rstand, that the Call of the Honse of Commons wid certainly be enforced on Ttv2stlay, previous to the. discussion of the Catholick Question. The Morning Chronicle has not inserted Baron BoxNAttm's Decree, which acknowledges the extent of the insurrections in France, and, con sequently, thinks it has a good right still to de ceive the Public, by denying their existence The Morning Chronicle is quite disgusted wit e People of England, because they will not be come converts to its patriotic doctrines, nor join its shout for Liberty and 13UONAPARTE, Jacobinism , And Despotism. So strong indeed is the passion excited by this contumacy on the part of the People, that the Chronicle can keep its tem per with them no -longer, and this morning breaks out in the following insult :—" A few plain, simple questions addressed to the common sense ,of England, IF any such quality or commodity be left in it." We are surprised that the Chronicle ca❑ doubt the existence of at least scone common s e n se i n the c►►untry; for though it is true that the hulk of the Nation detest, and nearly all the re mainder _who do not detest, despise the rank sub-, serviency of this Journal to the enemies of En r , land, surely it might reckon on some few parti zans, since Lord GREY spoke in the,House of Peers, Mr. WAITHMAN and Mr. FAVP.LL in the Guildhall, and Major CARTWRIGHT, Sir F. BUR DETT, and Mr. WALKER o❑ the. ominous scaffold in Palace-Yard, To such persons as these indeed, are the " plain simple (simple enough God wot) questions" ad dressed. They are in soorh so very simple that the word silly would be an excellent synonytne ; nor can we wonder at this fact, - when on reading down about half a column oftrash, we discover that the whole cunning of the plot is to draw us in to read a pill direct of a nonsensical pamphlet, pub lished by a Goose in a red ribbon. Of course our Readers will excuse our dilating upon a production fit only for the common sense of France, if any such, quality or commodity be l,ft in it.. We commend it to time Moni—alias Menteur. • Mr. K EMBLE.—The progress of Mr. hEMBLE's recovery is not so rapid as was expected. He passed a sleepless night, and - coughed incessant ly. But the. more alarming symptoms are quite gond. Mrs. SIDDONS still 0)11 Tunes in the house. Yesterday the Earl of LlvEgroor. had a long audience or the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton-house. The FRENCH REGENT holds a Levee to-day, at Chriton-house, at two o'clock. he Duke of YoRK transacted military busi ess with the PRINCE REGENT. During hours yesterday, five French 011iccrs, just arrived from France, were present on the French walk ; some of them appeared in wl►►te cockades, and all of them were about to join• the BounnoN standard in the Netherlands. By late accounts from Cronstadt we learn, that a large fleet of Russian vessels are assembling there, for the purpose of taking troops on board. Some of the friends of '' Italian Independence," in,King JoAcnim's pay, were lately hanged as spies. An Italian wag (Quere , ---Antonio - di Ra venna ?) pointing to the gallows, said—Ecee IH dependentes Broil Forget is stated, in the French Papers, to ye remembered to give a proof of his patriotism d generosiq., .

By the rapidity with !.Vhiell General Bianchi had Condneted his march from rvilogna througlt Florence and Foligno, be was *enabled to occupy the,, direCt road fr o m Anedna to Naples, _and thereby 'JO tuili the positions of the Neapolitan army, Murat waS consequently obliged to fight a battle, in the hopes of securing- his retreat to the frontiers of the - Neapolitaii States. Gen. BlanChi, on the 2d May; took up a pOSI. lion ciii. the lieightS in front of Tolentino, extend ing between the rivers Chienti on his right . , anti Potenza on his left Murat advanced against hint from Matel•ata with the divisions,of Generals Liv. roil; Pignatelli and Ambrosio ; and occupied the heights about Monte Milose. Earlyon the 3d the Neapolitans attacked the centre and the right Of the Austrians commanded by Generals Mohr and Stahreuiberg ; but this at tack having failed with loss, the whole of of Murat's army were directed against the Austrian, left. This attack, , made in three heavy columns of infantry in mass, supported by cavalry and ar tillery, was received by an . Austrian brigade, di reeted,. by General Bianchi, who succeeded, with the assistance of tct►o squadrons of cavalry, in tak ing One of the masses•and dispersing the others. Soon aster this failure, Murat began his re treat "; he was pursued with activity till dark ; near ore thousand prisoners were taken during that thvy% General Ctillier and an Aide-de-Camp of General ltiedeeis were among these. Gene ral% Atunrosic Campana were wounded. General Nugent, with hi, corps, was i❑ cott. htunication with General Bianchi by Nepi. Ti:c Neapolitan Army retzeateci by Fertno and Peseera. Subsevent letters from Lord Burghersh, dated` Rome, May 7, state, that General Niepperg, ar rived at Monte Cassiano on the 3d, at night, and was ordered to meet General Bianchi on the 4th, at Macerata. A detachment of the corps of Gen. Nugetit, which was moving by itietti upon Aquila, encountered, on the Ist lay, a body of 500 Nea• politsrns, and defeated it with great loss. _ Tile enemy was commanded by Gen. Montigni, and occupied a strong post upon the road between Civita Ducate and introdoro,. from which, how ever, they Were immediately driven by a gallant attack, conducted by Majorlilette : two Officers and several prisoners were taken, and a consider, able nOmber threw down their arms and dispersed, • The peasants nt the neighbourhood took an active part in pursuit of the Neapolitan fugitives. Major Flette after this success marched upon , Aquila, where he arrived on the 2d. The gar- sis - on, consisting of three hundred men, retired into a castle on his approach. On the 4th they capitulated, giving up ten pieces of artillery,with a considerable quantity of ammunition, and being allowed to return to Naples, under the condition of not serving against the Allies for the space of one month.
