Upon the cheering news we had yesterday the pleasure of laying before our Readers, there are two observations which occur to us as referring to matters of so much importance, as to merit being briefly and explicitly laid down before we proceed to oar daily task. of agalizing the intelli gence receive". First. The breaking off of the Armistice must,, it appears to us, be universally acknowledged to be a 3 trong presumptive proof against the pro bable termination of negotiations at Chatillon in Peace. If the pretensions oldie ho - stile Powers Were. so irreconcileable as to prevent the minor arrange ment necessary previous to a §uspension of Arms . ; surely it i“easonable to presume that they must clash to such a degree as to preclude the possibi lity (under existing circumstances) of agreeing on the far more difficult queStions . ‘rhich must be decided before a pacific adjustment can be made. Seccind. With regard to• the application made to • the Allies by the Bourbons for leave to enter France (and the points connected with this re quest, namely, the. reported refusal of the Allied Powers, and the distaste evinced by the Austrian COmmandant; atyesoul, at the appearance of liloNstatn), our opinion is that the tequest ought not - to have been made at all ; but as it was made, that the Allies could return no other answer than that which they are said to have returned. The Allies, in all,:beir declarations, have avowed that they would not interfere with the wishes of the French Pci!!e in time choice of their-own Govern- Went. The letter from MONSIEUR, then, was ill advised ; for if the answer bad been what he-dc sired (and what the Allies too desired' it to he), it_wouhl have falsified all, proelama tionS and solemn- assurances. At last, howeVer,. the BOURBONS have done what is politic, wi.;e, and right. They ha've; upon their own responsi 7 hility, and without involving other parties, entered 'the kingdom of their fathers. This n • leastir e, iv‘ ho can doubt, is most agreeable -to the Allies; who only (and frOM sound reasons) vb'anted to be ignci rant of it; till they could " applaud the deed whiCh; in • the. first instance, they could not; a priori, sanction. ,‘AitIkIVAL Or A FRENCH SUBJECT WITH IMPORT ., ANT COMMCNICATIOS TO THE ROYALISTS FROM FRENCH FLANDERS. . - Our priiate ConurinnicatiOns yesterday from France enabled us fully to anticipate ,the gratify ing. informatiOn Which was, in the course of the 'fternoon; confirmed by the Government Bulletin. We have this day equal satisfaction in making the following known to the Public. The arrival of the Dictator froth Holland is noticed in our Ship News. From this ;weasel a. Frenchman was landed yesterday afternoon, who states, that he is charged with Conimunications of the first magnitude from the FRincoli NETHER- I, %NUS to the French Party in this‘Country, by• whom . he had been sent to ascerkain.the diSposition of the People; and if they were inclined or averse to the espousal of the BOURBON CAUSE. His report- is of the most flattering kind. He is. i angu i n ,e beyond - measure on the prospects of Kin , Loots ,the ; and on the subject of the ultimate victory of the Allies confirms : all we have stated during tile present week. Ile aitirms (we know not whether on specific 'authority Or gene ral fame) thiit the Allies have come to a determi nation to make no terms whatever with BUONA PARTE, and not to lay down their arms until the French People have made a choice which will in sure the future repose and traugnillity of Zurope. 1 le.: person alluded to, has brought Dispatches front MONSIEUR, &c. ..Such are the glorious tidings from the North side of Prance, which; we trust, gives greater 'weight to his authprity. We play safely - add to a statement give❑ in a Contemparary Journal, that MoNstEntt, iu the. South, had been joined by 8000 loyal .Subjects- 7 -inen who form indeed . , THE LEGION QV J-loNoutt in that degraded land, which may yet redeem it from ignominy and the hatred of all Mankind.' • Private accounts are said to state that Lord WELLINGTON had crossed the Adotir on the 23d and.24tb. This. it was announced officially would be attempted on these days, and the repOrt is probably founded on a Suppositiim (a . most one), that what Lord IVELLING'ov and his he roes attempted must succeed. We dare say it has, though the difficulties to be overcome were great, owing to the marshy . nature of the left bank of the river, which pkesented a formidable obstacle to the advance of the Allies. Lord ‘V'titLLINGIOI could only bring up mountain pieces (3-poumltrs) and CONGREVE'S rockets, to force-the enemy from their advantageous posit-ions, and Open his pas sage to the nearer and more effectual application of the British bayonet. Since writing tliese remarks, we lrive learned, that the left of Lord WELLINGTON';' Army forced the Ailour on the 24th. No ofileidl itccounts haye teen hrQught by' the Arabella packet; and Government have nothing more than we have stated. Extracts front American Papers ilutiht the fact announced in the SUN yesterday, of the destruc tion of the enemy's Flotilla " pasted" .on Lake Erie.
