EXTRAORDINARY GAZETTE.

The crisis of the war is at hand, if it he not -al
ready consinnmated, and not many dais will now elapse
crc we shall koow whether the world is rescued from
the yoke of the oppressor, or its struggles overpowered
and its chains riveted for a long; series of years.
The operatlons of the allied armies, as detailed in the Extra•
ordinary Gazette, have as-nmed a character of boldne,s and
activity, and are performed w:th ma,ses too imposing, to al-
low the fate of the conte t to be much longer delayed ; and
as the c neniv, cAecting all his force, maintains his ground
wilt the tenacity of despair, and seems re,olved to meet with
an unshrinking front the tempest th it bursts upon him, not
only the period, but the seat of the action which will settle
the d.-stinies of man'Ailid, may he levity nearly ascertained.

of this mon h the Pi ussian Mooarch), was hurled to the
-,!.ind by a,single blow, on the fatal field of Jena, at a short
distance fmu Lvipsig. Seven years of the most humiliating
v have at last been followed loy a glorious tevival of
puh'ie spirit and rdriotism, and on the same field, or it,
vicinity, and ahout the same time, will that battle be fought
that will confirm the dowttfal of the magnificent strocure
raised by the genius of FREnt RIGI: the Great, or will bid it
start in all its pristine splendour from ground. Toe
day and the spot are likely to be 'elected by both parties. To
the Fiench they will recal rememleances of glot y which
ani,naie them to encreased exertions. To the Prus.si ins
they will teem wi!lt the memory of past injuries and ripples-
sion, that wi:l kind! the flame of vengeance in every breast.
Whether these views be rightly atti ihuted to the respective
commanders ollhe «intending armies or not. the movements
of their troops have a terdencv which justifies t! c supposi-
tion. The,-e ate ably described by Sir CHARLF S r NV A R
