He superintended himself thtil packing up of his effects, and applied 191- . 160 carriages to convey them. He has lately been reading Robinson Crusoe: Pmus, 22.--Buonaparte, who has so often deceived France, has deceived it. even re specting the time of his departure. We are at lengih assured, that he has taken leave of Fon tainbleau, and has set out for the place of his exile. The dream of. his greatness is over ; ht is about to awake on.the Island of Elba. Six m on th s ago he negociated to retain the hanks of the Elbe; threeailontlis . since he was in treaty for the 'banks of the Rhine ; in the first days of March he was not satisfied with ancient France. Now that all his pretensions are at an end, he still nego ciates for a few articles ot furniture, afew books, and a few bottles of wine. It was thought for some time that he wasjit for a hero of tra;, : ;edy . ;' he isyow nothing but a hero of melo-drame; he , proun,;e.:l to give us the standard of the great men of our age; he has begim by giving us his own.

LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY, TUESDAY, APRIL 26. WAR DEPARTMENT. . bowning-sheet,prig- 26, 1814. Major Lord Willia kußsell arrived last night at this (Mee, Winging a Dispatch from the Mar quess of WEJ.LINoTmsr to Earl BATHUasT . , of which the following is a copy :—• Toulouse, April 18,1814. Mt- Loup--I have the pleasure to intoriu your Lordship that I entered this town this morn- ing, which tht enemy evacuated during the night, retiring by the road of parcssone. The continued fall of rain, and the state of the roads, prevented me front laying the bridge till the •morning of ,the Bth, when the Spanish corps, and the Portuguese artillery, under the immediate' orders of Lientenant-Gelteralpi.nr Manuel I,i'reyre, and the head-quarters,, crossed the Garonne. We immediately moved forward to the neigh bourhood of the town, and the 18th hussars, un .der the immediate command of Colonel, Vivian,, • had an opportunity, of makfirg a most gallant at tack upon a superior body of the enemy's ca valry, Avhich th 4 2.y drove through the village...of Croix d Orade, and took about one hundred pri soners, and gave us poss'ession of an - important bridge over the river Ers, by which it was neces sary to p as s-, in order to attack the enemy's po sition. Colonel Vivi4u was unfortunately wound ed upon this occasion, and I am afraid that I shall lose the benefit of his assistance for some time. The town of tioulouse is surroondeti on tbrze • sides by the 'canal of Languedoc and the Ca- On the left of that river, the suburb r.onne. which the eileiny had fortified with strong field works in front of .the wait; formed b. good Vlte-de-pont. , They had likewise formed a tC.!te-de-pont at each 'bridge of the canal, whicli . was besides defended by the fire in some places of mustptetry, and in all of artillery, front the 'ancient wall of the town. Be yotid the canal, to the eastward, and between that and the river Ers, is a height, 'which extends as far as Montandran, and over which pass 1,,111 the roads to the canal. and town front the eastward, which it.defends 3 4tid .the enemy, in addition to the tote-de-poet 64 the bridges of the canal, had lOrtified the height with five redomhts, connected by lineS of -intrenchments, and !,tad with extra- ordinary diligence made every preparation for d 6. •fence. They had likewise b ro k en a ll t h e b r id ges over the Ers within our reach, by which the right of their position could be approached. The roads, however, from the Ariege to Toulouse being i pnwricAble for- e;tvaLry or artillery, amt neAtlyso for infantry, as reported to you• Loil l ship i n m y dispatch of the Ist instant, I had no alternative,' excepting to attack We enemy in this formidable position. It was necessary to move the Pontoon Bridge higher up the„Garon.i.c, in order to shollen the communication with Lieutemmt-General Sir Row land Hill's corps, as soon as , the Spanish carps. bad pas l sed; and this operation•was -not effected till so late an'hour on the 9th, as to induce use to defer the attack tiW the following morning. The plan according to which I def.e'rniined to attack the enemy, was for IMarshabSir W. Beres ford, who, was on the right of the Ers with the and Gth divisions, to cross that river at the bridge of -Croii d'Orade; to gaits possession of Monthlanc, and to march up the left of the Ers to tern the enemy's right, while Lieutenant-Ge neral Don Manuel Freyre, with the Spanish corps under his command, supported by the British Ca val6r, should attack ihd front. Lientnant-Gen. Sir S. Cotton was to follow the Marshal's move ment, with Major-General LOrd E. Somerset's brigade of hussars ; :end Col. Vivian's brigade, under the command of ,Colonel Arentschild, was to observe the movement of the enemy's cavalry on both hanks of the F,s beyond nett left; The 3d and light divisions, under the command of Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Pkton and Major-General Charles Baron, Alten, and the bri gade of Gertnan cavalry, wero to observe th e enemy on the lowe r p ar t of the canal, and to draw their attention to that quarter by threatening the tote-de-pont, While Lieutenant-General Sir Row land Hill was to' do the same . on .the suburb on the left of the Garonne'. Marshal Sir. William Beresford crossed the Ers, and formed his corps in three columns of lines in the village of CroiN d'Orade, the 4th division leading ; with Which he immediately carried Mont- Wane. He then moved up the Ers in the same order, over the most difficult ground, in a di rection parallel to the enemy's fm•tilid position ; and assoon- as he reached the point at w hi c h lie turned it, he form e d hi s 'lines, and moved to the attack. During these operations Lieutenant-Ge neral Don . Manuel Freyre moved along the left of thei;;rs, to the front of Croix. d'Orade, where he formed his corps in two lines, with a resert'e on a height in front of the left of the enemy's position, on which height the Portuguese 'artillery Wa3 placed ; and Major-General fonsonby's ' of - cavalry in reserve in th, rear. As soon , as formed, and that it was seen that Marshal Sir 'William Bereford was leadv, Lieute 7 . nant-General DOn Manuel Freyre Moved forward . - to the atta c k. • The troops marched- in good order under a very heavy fire of musquetray and artillery, and shelled great spirit, the General and all las , Staff bein g a t their head ; and the t wo li nes Were soon lodged under some bankS%iramediately under the enemy's entrenchments ; the keserve and Por tuguese artillery, and s ; iitish cavalry, continuing on the heights on `which the • troops: hal first 101 . 6'1141: The enel47, , however„ repulsed Elie move ment of the right of General _Freyre's line Tonna their left.fiank, and having followed up their suc cess, and turned our right by both sides of the highroad leading from Toulouse to CrOix d'Orade, . they soon compelled the whole corps to retire. It gave me great satisfaction to see, that, al though they suffered considerably in retiring, the troopS rallied again as soon as the light divi;ion, which was immediately on their right,' moved up; and I cannot sufficiently applandthe exertions of Lieutenant-General Don Manuel Freyre, the Offi cers of the Staff of the 4th Spanish Army;-and ;)f the Officers of the General Staff, to rally and forM them again. Lieutenant-General Menclizabel, who was in the field as a volunteer, General Espeletta, and several Officers of the Staff, and Chiefs 'of corps,. were wounded upon this occasion ; but General Mendizabel continued in the field. The regiment de Tired. 'de Cantahria, under the command of Colonel Sicilio, kept its position, under the ane-; my's entrenchments, until I ordered them -to retire: In tire mean time, Marslial Sir William Beresl.- ford, with the 4th division, - under the comrnind of Lieutenant-General Sir Lowry Cole, and the 6th division, under the 'Outman(' of Lieutenant- General Sir Henry Clinton, attacked, and carried the heights on the enemy's right, and the redoubt which covered and protected that flank ; and he lodged those troops on the same heights with the enemy, who were, however, still in possession of four redoubts, and of the entrencbments,and.for- .tified house's. - - • - • • The badness of the roads had induced the Mar shal to leaVe his artillery in the - village of Mont blanc ; and some time elapSed before it could-be brought to him, and before Lieutenant-General Don Manuel Freyre's cops cOuld he re-formed and brought babk to-'the attack :as soon as this was effected, the Marhal continued his - movement along the ridge; and carried, With Gen. Pack's bri gade °rale 6th division, the two principal-redoubts and. fortified houses ,in the enemy's centre. The enemy made a desperate effort from the canal to regain these redoubts, but they were repulsed - with considerable loss; and the Gth division continuing its rnOvemeut -along the ridge of the 'height, anti the Spanish troops continuing a corresponding moVerneut upon the, front, the enemy were driven from the two redoubts and intrenchments on the left, and the whole range of heights were in our possession. We did - not gain this advantage, how--• ever, without severe loss, particularly in the brave Pith division. Lieut.-Coloael,Coghl an of the filst, an officer of great merit and promise, was unfor tunately killed in the attack of the heights. Ma jor -General Pack was wounded, but was enabled to remain in the field; and Colonel Douglas, of the Bth Portuguese regiment, 'lost his leg ; and I am afraid I shall be deprived for a .considerable time of his.assistance. The 36th, 42d, 79th, and Gist regime . nts lost considerable .numbers, and were highly tlistir guished throughout the day. ',cannot sufficiently applaud the ability and con duct of Nfarshal Sir William Beresford throughout the operations of the ;lay nor that of Lieute nant-Generals Sir Lowry Cole, Sir Henry Clin ton ; Major-Generals Pack and Lambert, and the, troops under their command. , Marshal Sir WU • liana Beresford partictilarly reports the good.con duct of Brigadier-General Esl.l . rhan,, the Quarter- Master-General ; and Geuertal Brito Mozino, the Adjutant-Gener'al of the Portuguese army. The 4th division, although exposed on-their march along the enemy's front in a galling fire . , were not so much engaged as-the 6th division . , and did not suffer so much ; but they conducted themselves with their usual gallantry. • I had-also every reason to - be satisfied v,ith the conduct- of .Lieutenant-Gcneral Don %:,lanuel Freyre, Lieutenant-General Don Gabriel Mewii, zabei, Mariscal de Campo Don Pedro de,la'l3ar 7 cena, Brigadier-General Don J. de Es_pellata, Ma riscal de Campo Don A. Garces de the Chief, of the Staff Don E. S. Salvador, aiid the Officers of the Staff of the fourth army.—‘The' Officers and troops conducted themselves well in 411 the attack's which they made subsequent to their being re-formed. The ground, not having admitted of the opera-
