But we leave this unpleasant part of our sub ject, which we try to hope has yet no better ground than speculation ; for .other reports con- firm that in our 3d Edition yesterday, and say that the Allies have insisted on terms so humi- liating to the Usurper, that, even in his low estate, 1 ' 0 the Negociations we are assured no Pre ` t les have been offered or rejected. ti,; l3 With infinite concern we have to men t4iA t he report which has just reached us , that op All ies have been prevailed on to grant a TRUCE DAYS to BUONAPARTE. This we have elve d through our valued channel on the f t, but so repugnant is the rumour to' our tit n gs, that we wish to doubt the authentiaity th at which has ye: 5r rarely misled us.

The Dispatches from Lord CASTLEREAGH are dated Chatillon, the 6th, and enclose details of the battle of Brienne, fought on the Ist instant. Here, as we demonstrated even from the Enemy's accounts, the Allies routed their opponents ; and thoughßuoNArAßTE asserted that veryfew prisoner were taken on either sideove learn with pleasure. that against his 250, the gallant BLUCHER has a ha- • lance of 4000 men and 70 pieces - of cannon. From Troyes, which he reached on the 3d, BUONA.- PARTE retreated to Nogent-sur-Seine, being between thirty and forty miles nearer Paris, which was, however, more directly threat ened by the left of the Allies, which had out-flanked him. in the coal by Sens, than by the victhrions corps which were following him up from Brienne. On their right, the Allies haie been equally successful. The twelve battalions we heard of at Vitry, turn out to be the division of the brave VON VOaCK, who advancing to meet MAcnoNALo half way from Chalons, has defeated, him at Chaassee on the Marne, and taken three pieces of cannon and several hundred prisoners. llr. SILVESTER reports, that another general ac tion was expected about Wednesday. last. The French Papers to the Bth will be found to deserve the description we gave of them yesterday. Letters of . the 6th state, that no- event of importance had taken place in the Army l Di visions of the Army of Spain,, continue to ar rive—their numbers arenot stated, but it is grati lying to observe that the Peninsula Is thus being evacuated without the disgrace of a treaty with its faithless invader. In Paris they are making demon strationsofresistance; raisingharriers,cuttingitib - p holes, forging cannon; and forging news.to keep up their spirits. The Place de Vosges is .. .converting into .a strong post, as if those who could not de ' fend the debouchcs of the Vosges Mountains on the frontier, could protect this grand Hotel in • the heart of the City. The Funds appear better at the last price quoted, but we are informed that these pieces arc little more than nominal, for all " Nor will occasion want." en d Yet it seems incontrovertible that a Con gress has taken place at Chatillon, whence Lord ~ AS TLEREAGu dispatched on the Gth the Messenger tl tt EsiEß, wh o s e arrival in England was yester tt : c olnmunicated.

If so, he ihdeed very ‘ fit for the representative or *NAPO -1.zo„ " uoiTAPA }ATE, but most unfit to meet th business is at a stand. To the final moment the French press is the same ; blowing hot and cold, and resorting to every falsehood and artifice that may encourage the people to resistance. At Dijon they are told that the Allies " seem in general very distrustful and feai:ful of events," while at St. Di zicr, they are told' the Allies " talk openly of dismembering France." These inconsistencies are however nothing to the Abbe MAURY, a fel low who better deserves to want a head than to wear a Cardinal's Cap. We have now a specimen of his oratory in the pulpit-.

The Spanish or Creole revolutionists, with their American abettors, having been compleC'ely discomfited in Texas, by the loyal and royal Spa niards, and the affairs in the Peninsula wearing au aspect favourable to 'Spanish independence, the. mouth-piece of Administration, the National In telligencer, after having most violently abetted the insurrection, now comes forward with a whining declaration, that the Government of the United States has always recognised the authority of the Royalists ; has declared its- indisposition to aftord the insurgents support 5 has never authorised Dr. Robinson (their late agent in that country) to make the invitation to insurrection which he did ; and that " no- person was authorised by them, directly or indirectly, to give or promise their countenance or support in any insurrection or ar mament against the constituted authorities of that country, or any other country, or territory, of a foreign power, with which we are at peace." Now, if •in ail this the Administration were frank and honest; how came it, that when they saw hundreds of the citizens of the United States , continually embarking in war operations against the Spanish " constituted authorities" of New Mexico ;—authorities in peace with the United States—that it did not, as was its bounden duty, issue its prociarttutii;:., recalling those citizens to their allegiance as neutrals, punishing tifeui for the violation of the neutrality of ilia 1 ....12.ited.

When Mr. SYLVESTER left 'Chittillcin, there were at that place, Sir CUARLES STEWART, our Minister. to Prussia , Lord Viscount CATHCART, Ambas:sador Exttaordinary to the Emperor of RUSSIA Mr. THORNTON, Envoy Extraordinary to the Crown Prince of SWEDEN ; and the Earl of ABERDEEN, Minister to the Court of Vienna. — Every facility, every attention, every - respect, was paid to Mr. SYLVESTER, on his way thro' Franee: • The name of Lord CASTLEREAGH seemed to ani mate the desponding Frenchmen with the hope of Peace.

A vessel has arrived from Ostend, which left that port without interruption on the 6th instant.. The intelligence she brings is, that the French garrison at that place, after effecting a partial inundation of the neighbourhood, left it to consult their own safety. Some persons think, notwithstanding the con ferences at Chatillon-sur-Seine, that the Count d'AftTots has proceeded, by encduragement or in vitation, to the head-quarters of the Allies.

THE THEATE!,:',S. Diturnr-LANE.---The Comic Opera of Fonta:n bletna, written by 0' tELFFE, and originally brought forth at Covent-Garden Theatre about 27 years ago, was revived last night at this theatre, before a tolerably numerous audience. It had the strong musical support of BRAHAM, Mrs. DICRIONS, Mrs. MOLINTAIN„ Miss KELLY, and Mrs. BLAND. An apology was made by ELLas-rot; for the omission of the Songs in the part performed by Pl:nurs, who was indisposed. The Songs were in genera encored. EwsTotsi was very easy and humor ous in Lacklan4 ; LOVEGROVE was• not less cha racteristic and diverting in Tallyho, and exerted himself so effectually as to spew no trace of his recent illness. The Opera altogether went oil very well. COVENT-GARDEN.--KEMBLE bad his usual at traction in Ramlei last night, visible in a crowded audience, who seemed to be highly A.ratificd with the correct, animated, and Plasm iy proot of thea trical skill which he presented to them.
