But whatever may be the destination, upon whatever

roree the most co' nsiderahle and the most importaut that
ever kit these. shores, will attempt and achieve objects
of adequate importance ; and that although it may be
too late to save Austria, it will at least alf ►►d the Con-
tinent an opportunity of shewin whether they are dis-
posed to become the willing.slaves of an atrocious adven-
turer, or to make one struggle more for that liberty which.
can alone distinguish the beim,- who exclusively possesses
the image of his creattiiie from tne.mtiltitude of beasts that
administer to his wants, and then perish.

It seems wonderful that the King of SPAIN (we mean the
Usurper), should have been suffered to exist so Inag at
Madrid, amid the execrations of a people that hate and de-
test him. However, the period when JOSKra must leave it
we hope to be fist approaching. Sir A. Weva.rsLcv has
reached Placentia on his way to the capital. If the French
will risk a battle, we have no fears about the issue of it. If
Madrid can hold out a siege (which we much doubt), it will
of course take a longer time before the standards of loyalty
are displayed upon the Escurial. May the evil genius of
Joseen persuade him to risk the latter, and suffer us to
have the honour of caging one of the Corsican cubs. Ths
armies of N Ky and SOULT are retreating from Gallicia, by
the rout of Puebla de Sonobra. where Soln.r was oil the
6th June. NEY has left Lugo for Castile, by the way of
Villa Franca, proceeding towards Astorga. ✓The Marquis
of Roll ANA is about to establish his head-quarters in Orense.
The Express Packet, Capt. BULLOCK, arrived at Falmouth
on Wednesday, with Mails from Cadiz, after 19 days passage.
We learn that dispatches had been received by Mr. De yr, the
Eritish Consul at Cadiz, stating, that the French forces had
concentrated themselves, and were in number 75,000 meni
and thatJosneu BONAPARTE had quittedMadrid, and was with
them. Dispatches had also been received, that the army
under Sir A. WULLESLEY had joined CUESTA, and their
united forces, in number about 65,000 men, were ulnae-
jug rapidly. About 4000 French had got into Vale de
Penas, and during the night, who massacred the whole ei-
cepting one man.

The intelligence received by this conveyance confirms
the defeat of BLA k E'S army. The defeat was occasioned
by the treachery of some of the officers. CAano, a bro.
ther-iu-lavy to the Marquis of ItosiAma, is said to be oue of
those accused.

Friday afternoon Dutch Papers to the 25th instant
arrived, the contents of which may he thus briefly de- .
scribed. It is evident that the whole of the North of
Germany is in a state of inveterate hostility against [the
common Tyrant. At Leipsic the popular ferment is so
groat, that according tea letter from Dresden of the 130,
the generate was beat at two o'clock in the morning at
that place, and the garrison immediately marched against
the patriotic population.
A Bulletin from theWestphalian army, dated ou the field
of battle, mentions some slight advantages gained over the,
Austriaus under the command of G4aeral Kla,X ATZI, but-

we are well assured that this General, on the contrary, has
been successfnl in his operations against the enemy.
Several divisions of Russians are stated to have arrived
at Limborgh and Cracacea, including a strong corps of ca-
valry, under the command of General Miller.
The Turks continue to oppose a determined resistance
to the Russians, and have lately received a reinforcement
of 20,000einen from A sin tie Turkey,
An article, from Petershurgh, dated the Ist inst. states,
that the differeuces between that Court and Sweden are
likely tube adjusted.
l):itch Papers also contain an account of the
disturbances wh'ell lately husk place at Rotterdam between
the Gtiei d'Armes and the Volanteers, on account of the
nufarcemeni of the ty cannons law of conscription in that
eoimtry.
The Diana Packet from Jamaica, brings an account. of
na Expeilition fitted Out from thence of 2500 men against
st. Deming°.
• • dors were on Friday transmitted to the different out-
r.,ts for the removal of the Embargn un all vessels bound
for the southward and westward.
A Gottenburgh mail arrived yesterday. The following
Is the wily article brought by it worth publishing
" Sync K IMLN, Jul.Y 14.—8 y a Declaration, dotted Stock-
heirs, the 14111 of this month, his Royal Majesty has proposed
to the Diet, with and by the advice of the Private Committee,
Prince Christian Augustus of Shelsvic-Dolstein Sanderburgh-
- Augeretriburgh, as Prince Royal of Sweden, and his succesor on
the Swedish Throue, and the States of the Peasantry have al-
ready acceded to the King's proposal, and elected the said Prince
their, future Sovereign."
The late events on the Danu!'e pill, we fear, destroy the
speculation with respect to Russia, and fix Alexander in fa-
vour of the Conqueror: his Imperial Majesty was shortly
expected at Croustadt, whore an attack appears to he ex-
- peeled. The Russians mean to use red-hot bulls. Eighteen
flail of a convoy, laden with provisions, from Riga to
Bevel, it is said, have been taken by two English frigates.
It is said there has been a slight action between the Swedes
and Russians near Torneo, in which the former sustained
tome loss.
On Monday morning last Lord WELLESLEY einharhcd
en board the Donegal, and is now on his way to Spain
with a fair wind. Ills Lordship was accompanied to Cie
'ally-port by Sir liocEa Cettits, the Port-Admiral, nod
Tay a great number of Naval Officers and Gentlemen. On
reaching the Donegal he was received with a salute of 19
guns, and was afterwards. visited by Sir THOMAS DVCK-
WORTH and Captain BERESFORD. We arc happy to add,
thit at the moment of his deiaarture the Noble 'Marquis ap-
ptared to be in excellent bean is and spirits. .
