when the business was closed ; and she must have stink from inanition,
had he not supplied her with vii.egar and water to the extent of six or
eight ounces, wh:ch she sucked fr,m a moistened handkei chief. Such
was her state when the watch left her, that the pulse was en.tirely gone
at one wrist, and at the other was like a fine thread, intermittent, unit
160 in a minute. It wp.s thought she could not survive ; but in the
course of Friday and Saturday, she took some tea and a considerable
quantity of milk, and she is note fast recovering. The state of her hed
and clothes at the end of the watch, I hear. was quite- shocking."--A
letter from one of theybvsicines engn.4ed in the watch, confirms the
above account, and turther states, that " the daugliter has ColifeA•ed,
that Ann Moore has always been in the habit of taking tea, and that
other thing., as vpplcs, &c. have been left upon the bed, which have
disappeared."

Co Nyi sstox or ANN Moon r..—The Committee who have contincted
the investigmon of the case of Ann Moose, after an unremitting and as-
siduous course of examinatio), have disc3vered the imposture which she
has long practised ou thr, public. and think it their duty to publish
this her own dechration and confession thereof :-- _

" I, Ann Al,orc, of Tuthury, humbly asking pardon of all persons
whom I have attempted to deceive and impose up:m, and above all, eith
the most ursfilgttert sorrow and contrition, imploring the divine mercy
and fcrLivel.ess of that Goo, Whom I have an greatly offended, do most
shk tinily declare, that I have occasionally taken sustenance for the last
sic years."

will immediately be sent to Spain, to liberate an equal
number of veterans who will then lie drafted for service
in the north, without impairing the Trench force in the
ninsula.

A correcp6ndence, it is said, has .been intercepted, in
which the CROWN Pit INCE of Sweden transmitted to Blies-
NAP ART E all the particulars of the plan formed by the Allies
for the next campaign. His troops have been withdrawn,
and he has been -represented as on the eve of joining the
French with 55,000 men, whilst Denmark, with 40,000,
%sould follow his example:
This is neither sanctioned by probability, nor authentic
intelligence. BUON AP ARTE wants no information from the
CROWN PRINCE. His spies live nearer the head-quarters of
the alliec., than his Ito A L HIGIINEss. The refusal of
Denmark to concede Norway, and the subsequent recipro-
cal dismissal of the Swedish and Danish Ministers, with
the prospect of a war between the two Countries, may have
Induced BERNADOTTE to recall his troops to prepare for the
invasion of •Norway. This _want of co-operation with the
allies, at this moment, is no doubt severely felt; as having
collected all their force on the Upper Ettie to meet the re-
cruited legions of NAPOLEON, they hod left Hamburgh,
Lubeck, and even Berlin to he defended by the Swedes in
conjunction with the Ilanseatic Legion, and the departure
of the Swedish forcelas exposed those cities to the vengeance
of the French. Yet it would be premature to attribute this
measure, however unfortunate in its consequences, to actual
treacl•ery. BERNA DO TTE has just received our subsidy, and
although we do not place much reliance on the honour of
one of the French revolutionary upstarts, yet we think the
honesty of the Swedish nation would have abhorred such de-
ceit, and the fear of incurring contempt, would have pre-
vented that government from practising it.
The accession of Denmark with 40,000 men to the cause
of France, although within the range of probability, is also,
we are convinced premature. Denmark bad undoubtedly
proposed the terms we detailed in our last, only to secure
their ultimate rejection, and by the appearance of carrying
on negociations, amuse the allie!;, and gain time until the
events of war had shown which party it would be
safe to join. That epoch is not yet arrived. The movements
of the armies have not yet produced any decisive result,
and unless the Russians should retreat so far as allow the
French to cover the Danish frontiers, the King of Denmark
will not form a junction with BCONAP'ART E which would ex-
pose his own territories to invasion, before he could be
assisted. The same reason will also influence Austria, !11.1
her intentions of waiting to take a decided part until fortune
shall have declared herself, . ay be inferred from her ef-
• forts to place herself in a state of armed neutrality, which
at any time may be turned into one of actual warfare. That
she should be able, however, as reported, to raise an army
or 150,000 for Germany and one of 50,000 for Upper
Italy, is, • lik.the present exhausted situation of her finances.
utterly impossible.

The rumoured accession of Saxony, or at least of.a Saxon
General with a corps of 10,000 nt7.:n to the coaltseed
Powers, appears equally premature and unfounded. Saxtn.
ny, whose troops have fongl►t along with the French at the
lowe,,t ebb of their fortunes, would not abandon cause,
when their armies, re advancing in immense masses, com-
pel the Russians to fall back, by their superior numbers.
If she has concluded any engtv;ement with tt►e Allies, we
fear it is only a sna•e to entpp them into a deceittitj
fideuce which may contribute! to their mit:. The'
knowledged card, is to restore Getieinty to i.•ift.r,aer sta.
that caw the,iiing of Saxony must drop his crown. It
