On Wednesday, General KI11.1.1:11MM61 Ahh.dr-
Catnap sailed front Chatham, on board a flag
truce, for Calais: hut the wind coining foul. the
vessel was obliged to put into Dover on Thursday
afternoon. All eotm tttttt ieution with the vessel as
prohibited, mud centinels placed on hoard to pre-
ientAny person from boarding her.

The Canterbury Paper, printed en Thursday,
Aar*, " On Trie:nlaiy night. Hittllit. eleven o'clock, din-
patches
from France were brought to this country.
by a French boat, which came into Dover harbour.
The dispatches were conveyed by express, through
this city, yesterday ))))) ruing, about one o'clock."

We noticed yesterday the report that Austria
had declared war against France. It has been
since Mated tl it an Anstrian Messenger has ac-
tually arrived from irotia a ith dispatches to that
effect. We cant ;,:ue to believe that these arc Inert
speculations, grounded upon ietters from liclktn-
laud u::.1 I I AntSurgh, Comm ii ideating. circii in•tances
that thew au increasing distrust and jealousy he
those two powers.

We have received Paris l'apers to the 3tl instant.
They report- the. departure of NAPOLEON for
Bayonne oa the 29th of Octril:er.

We have received Dutch Papers to the 6th inst.
f-ont %Inch we have made some retracts; and also
from the Hurlbut:et and Altona Papers received
on Thursday. They seem to throw some &lithe upou
the retrograde movement of Nev from Vittoria.—
It is said that Veanttn's corps was posted to
the es.tward of riillHia, and 64 finding General
ISt. tel: was sittemptiog to get in the renr of Mar,
at .I.4torio, it 6.llloetc to Duningo,, and thus de-
feated I:LAKE.* iittewtiew. The departure of NA.
Peres:nitk, On. Ilat come, is repeated in the Paris
news. The Dutch Government having given per-
nli< ion for all vessels to sail, which bad began
in load prior to thr promulgation of the prohi-
bitory Decree, on the 19th ult. it appears that
several ship-wetter; hare made an improper use
of the imbilgence, and pot cargoes on board
their vessel.. after the period allowed. The eon-
serpu•ner has been, that the Government have is-
sued soother decree, proliihiting all vessels, with li-
censes or otherwise, from sailing after the 15th inst.
and the 3oth inst. is tiled for the return of all such
vessels, after which they will not he permitted to
enter into the Dutch harliosirs, notwithstanding
they may have Ilis MAJESTY'S license for that Fir-
Ptht".

The report of a battle between the French and
Spaniards, on the 29th of October, nenr Durango,
which we lately ourutioned, has been since adopteJ
by same iaf one contenvporar?ea. Government may
have received Cu account of such a battle, but they
have not mad: it public. The Spaniards are said
to have been victorious, although they lost 3000 men.

Many persons in t:iis country, particularly among
those who possess the best means of forming a
spinal opinion, sic convinced that BatAPARTF.,
however judicious or necessary he may esteem it,
in order to serve the purposes of delusion, to talk
of crowning his twother at Madrid, yet has per-
fectly recoguiand the impracticability of subju-
gating Spain by arms, in the manner that he did
Austria sold Ilrins.ta. The former of these Illo-
narchies was, in fact, overrun mid ,objected in less
than fatir months, between September and Ja-
Amery. The Prussian states, at least all those on
this side of the 'Vistula, may be said to have cost
him not half as Ion,: a time to occupy ; for the con-
test Ix:twee:l the Vistula an.l the Niemen, which
was protracted till June, 11,07, tio•iNli it was
imaiatairied on the territories of Feu:mate W1,.-
ELAN, chiefly lay between France and Russia.
NAPOLEON has already been engaged live months
in hostilities with Spain, dining which period, if we
except the single action at Medina del Rio Seem,
he has experienced, unifortoly, only disaster, defeat,
awl capitulating,. His troops ate age driven into
a curator of the kiiiiidont, among the snows, and
precipices, and defiles of the Pyrenees, where sustt-
nanix: of every kind is very ditfi.:ult to procure, sad
at the season alien winter will augment all his em-
barrassments. So sensible was I.e of the pressure
and irrc,istile importance of these facts, that in
order to I.e able to continue to prosecute the war in
Spain any lon;er, he has found it necessary to m-
enace in a great measure his possession of Germs-
we. It was likewise indispensable to obtain the coin-
cidence, and the tart, if not open paricipatmo of the
Itaisst.iii Court, or EMPEROR, to his flagniousenter-
prise. Ileoce arose the interview at Erfurt ; an in-
terview • hich we catmint suppose that he wOilld have
sonOit, or even have as,isted at, is a crisis the
present, if he had been to have dispetwed
with it. Wheuever the 'secrets ard mysteries of
these conferences, held bets-era Ars:anima and
