DomTTSCII; DEC. 11.—The well-directed fire of the'battalies which we have established so near the fortress of Torgau, compelled the enemy last .nigbt'to, evacuate fort Ziuna, after withdrawing the artillery, and blowing up three posterns of masonry.

Many persons assert that it has been concludA upon the principle of status quo ad prgsentem, and that this treaty is like wise 'favourable, to the commerce of the "Empire. Thus Providence every where seems to bless the cares and labours of a Prince whom he has chosen to reign over an empire penetrated towards him with love and gratitude. The value of all the effects' given up to the Allies by the capitulation of Dresden, such-as cannon, ainumnition, arms, 8:c. is estimated at 20,000,000 of franks.

The•dregs of the late French Papers we sub►nit to the public this dat . lq tone and style • they re 7 semble the priceding extracts.

Yorick ! we knew him ; once ; a fellow of iuti\- nite craft, of, a ,most devoKing an4bition ; and now, bow abWared in the imagination he is ! our gorge rises at him. Where be his menaces now ? his pretensions ) his lies ? his flashes of fury that were wont to make Europe tremble.? chop fallen. And truly this extraordinary personage has en joyed a tolerably extraordinary and a very long run, to the end of which he seems at last to be verging with accelerated rapidity. The intima tion which we gave exactly this day fortnight, and not, we assure our Readers, onlight grounds, or incompetent information,—that intimation is now beginn;ng to develope its meaning intelligi bly ;to all eyes, and even the blindest of our . politicians can perceive that a most important in tercourse must have been carried 'on between some persons in France and others in this Country since the period when we announced as from Harwich, (because it would have been imprudent to he more' explicit at that 'time) the arrival of a French Gentleman on an important mission."-- The nature of this mission is now receiving the context of so many illustrations, from so many sides, that it woidd be idle to make a mystery any longer ofour expectation of the speedy re-elevation of the 800 anoNs to the Throne of France. In France the cry is for them : We know that it is publicly asked; " where are they ;=--have they any affection remaining fol. us ;—why is not their standard hOiSted as our rallying, point against the Impostor by whom We are oppressed ?" Somethin g - of` this kind must, and will, imme diately be done ; and, unless propped up by the errors of foreign States, of which there is little danger, the dynasty of the base Corsican will speedily coast; to be a_reproach to royalty, and a curse to the earth. To the task of organizing an effectual revolution, many almost insuperable obstacles presented themselves in the slavish con dition•of the French people, whose voices were stifled by the operation of as masterly a system of police as ever Tyranny devised, and whose minds were ground. down to hopeless de4mir by the most intolerable of all military Despotisms. 'the press in fetters, freedom of speech unknow'n, Spies in every family, and Executioners in every Deptit for Prisoners—dreadful struggles must the common sentiment have had to diffuse itself so generally as it is now diffused among the population, and mighty the difficulties in the way of a simultaneous movement to escape from the concerted grasp of lawless rule. In proportion, however, to the dark ness in which the people have been held, is the prodigious effect of the little dawning light. which now, in spite of . the precautions et i; ll ranny, darts throtr4 , ,, the palpable obscurc.---i' proportion to the weight with which tliqt have been kept down, will be the elastic force ° that spring, the re-action .of which wilt had 0 6 Ruffian and all his Associates into ruin, ,A , provincial COuten ) porry (the Rlitor of tilt wich Mercury) has illusirated our idea on this topic' so happily, that we cannot refuse 'ourselves Tbc pleasure of transcribing a part of his exposition th,c difference between this Country and France' in so far - as .regards the formation and trans',''" sion of public opinion, and the well-chose; image . by which he exemplifies the deadenl7 effect of a -shackled press. In this blessed 10" lie truly says,—" every one can throtigh Press) "compare his own opinions wizb thin of Ids fellows. But in France there is no sari' machine to convey, like electricity, a 511° or a sensation to the great circle .of Frac' men. At every link of the chain there is a o°' rc e conductor, powerful enough to suspend at "'" i the connecting influence, and the stands alone to suffer or to act by himself. I t therefore, no wonder that BooNArAwrr.lias so 1 ° I ; . , ,escaped the vengeance of an oppressed people- /), changes of the revolution, sudden as they appel e were the work of time, and of the press, and inflammator) harangues of the demagogues of t' • day. Against the Tyrant of the present I ' °lt , fr ,' it does not continue so ; no voice is heard, no (of nunciation issues with impunity. Curse' ! ' to ,. loud, but deep,' may, indeed must, follovV . But these are of no avail, until they are etlO ss ii, _and embodied inth form by the security " .bl e i, awaits upon combined effort, and a-certaintY-, extensive 'aid and sympathy.
