MARCH G.

Bless us I how 'fearful of giving offence to the Tyrant,
lie must be spoken of in smooth, soft language, " in holiday
and lady terms," lest perchance he should take offence."
This would be very well, did not this very same Courier,
twelve lines lower, insert the following official declaratiGn,
which, we trust, will teach it to be a little less positive in
future, in order to conceal it; ignorance:
" We are . requested to state that the proclamation, in-
serted in all the Morning Papers of this day, and in our
own, from the Dutch Papers, attributed to the Crown
Prince, is a fabrication ; uo other having been addressed
to the French by his Royal 'Highness than the one we pu-
blished yesterday, dated from Cologne, February 12, 1314
(Courier; March 5.)

OFFIC,I A L BULLETIN.
WAR DEPARTMENT, MARCH 42 1814.

" The Walsingham packet, Captain Bullock, is arrived
from Passages. She brings no dispatches from Lord Wel-
lingtem ; nor any returns of his Army.
" It appears, by private letters and verbal accounts, that
the right wing of the army was put in motion about the
13th ult. and had moved upon St. Palais, and. from thence
to the Gave d'Oleron, on which river the British troops were
established on the i Bth.

" Lott' Wellington had returned to the left of his army,
and it is supposed that operations upon the Lower Adour
commenced on the 23d."

Lord Wellington had, it is said, a narrow escape in a re-
connoissance with Sir Rowland Hill, a ball from a battery
having passed within a foot of his Lordship, and then killed
Sir Rowland's horse.
Letters from the French coast state, that king Ferdinand
set off from Valency on the 22d, for Spain, with his uncle
and brither; and that he is released without any condition.
The following interesting intelligence has just reached
us from Spain. It is a good proof of the spirit of the people
of that country.
Lxtract of a letter from Vittoria, dated Feb. 13 1.

" This town is at present in a state of the greatest
commotion; some lives have been already lost, and there is
no knowing where this sanguinary tumult may end. The
cause is as follows :

" The " Vittoria Gazette " of yesterday, which I enclose,
contained the treaty of peace signed by the Duke de S.
Carlos, on the part of Ferdinand, and the Count de Laforest
on the part of Buonaparte. Towards the middle of the day
some waggons were observed entering the town, containing
futnituie and other property, and it was found to -belong
to some of the nobility, who had followed the fortunes of
the French, and had fled with them to France, but who,
having received a passport signed by Ferdinand, had
thought fit to return to their houses in this town. The
inhabitants, however, who had suffered much from the con--
tributions levied on them by the French, and being exas-
perated to see these agents of Buonaparte returning to en-
joy the fruits of the efforts made by the Patriots, and recol-
lecting that whilst they were suffering under French tyran-
ny and oppression, these Nobles were 'exempted from taxes,
&c. rose in several parts of the town, broke into the different
houses inhabited by families who wore thought to favour
the French, plundered then) of all the property they con-
tained, and but for the interference of the military force,
would have tnassacred the inhabitant..

" Should any event of importance take rlace, I shall not
fail to communicate it:'
