I,:ecide the fate of nations, be only proceeded to visit the
advanced posts, order the attack of a small village, recoil-
ausitre the force of his opponent, and the mighty results of
Isis operations consisted of a few horses captured, two pieces
of cannon, and " an axle-tree with the fore-wheeli"
On the I Bth, the Allies, though driven the preceding
day to the phins of Toplitz, became the assailants in their
turn, and,stormed the heights above the village of Reinitz.
Repulsed, at the point of the sword, and fired at with grape .1
shot during an hour, they, however, were obstinate enough
to return the next day, in consequence of which the French ,
fell hack to their fotiner positions before llollendorf and i
Coshabel, and BERT Hi Eli was smitten with an ague fit,
which NAPOLEON probably avoided by returning to Pit na 1
on the evening of the 18th.
Reside the Imperial Reports, we have some from the
VieEROY of Italy, who has not been more successful than his
master. The occupation of Fiume by the Austrians is ac-
Laosvledg,ed in order to extol the operations by which they
arc said to have been compelled to evacuate that city. But
it is evident that the success obtained on this occasion was
fn• from decisive, since the General by whom it was gained,
„almost immediately returned to Adelsberg to join BEA Ull AU-
nIS army, which has log been divided to early his plan of
cirt esive operations issto execution, had experienced some .1
partial Ins. In the Tyrol, patriotic chiefs have re-appeared,
and pro( lama! ions have been issued by the Austrian Gene-
rah inviting the inhabitants to rise in behalf of their ancient
3lcnarcli. This appeal, it may be inferred from WR ED E'S
address to the Tyrolean% and the endeavours of the French
Papers to maintain the contrary, has not been made in vain.
Though lot 'Liken by the Court of Vienna in 1805 and 1809,
the se mountaineers retain all their attachment to their for;
mei. Sovereign, and ate still, ready to incur every danger to
be allowed to live under his mild dominion. We trust,
however, that they will not be called to the field before they
can be properly supported, so as to give effect to their exec-
t isms rod prevent a recurrence of the afflicting scenes which
in 813 deluged their vallies with blood'
Such have hitherto been the events of the campaign. Oa
+nary side it has beets carried on with incessant activity,
and on the part of the Allies with almost uninterrupted suc-
cess. Unable to act any longer on the offensive, NAPOLEON
has concentrated his defeated armies on the right and left
banks of the Elbe, in the vicinity of Dresden. There, he
Las not, however, procured himself security or even a respite
from fighting. Closely pressed by the armies of the CROWN
FRI NC E . from Brandenburg, of General BLUCHER from
EileNia, of Prince SCHWA RTZENRERG and Generals KLEIST
and \% ITGENSTEIN from Bohemia, his communications with
Vrance ate, besides, interrupted by strong corps of partisans,
who fill all the countries in his rear with alarm. In this si-
tuation he has already been compelled to order the army of
reserve collected by AUGEREAU in Franconia, to move to
his support, whilst another is assembling on the Rhine under
KELLERMAN. This assistance, however, may come too
Inc to relieve him from his difficulties, and will not, at all
events, prove considerable enough to .inclit'e the
balance of the war in his favour. To protract the

peror FR ANC Is than sound policy. He has bound himself a
second time by his Declaration to acknowledge BUONAPARTS
Emperor, no doubt in order that his daughter may remit'
Empress, and from him, co-operation cannot therefore be ex-
pected beyond a certain extent. As the fate of the Conti-
nent, however, is no longer entrusted to Monarchs alone, but
to the enthusiasm and patriotism of their subjects, personal
views and feelings cannot prevail over public interests, and
those who have fought so bravely in the cause of independ-
ence, will know how to secure it by negociation.
Before we close this view of the present state of affairs on
the continent, we cannot forbear noticing DAVOUST'S
acknowledgement of the defeat of one of his corps on the
left bank of the Elbe. Gcn. PECHIUX, by whom it was
commanded, is said to have lost all his cannon, but to have
saved the eagles and honour of the French arms, and as many
of his troops •• as were not placed hors dc combat !" This
is an easy mode sf accounting for and concealing losses, but
whether the French will thank DA VOUST for informing them
that all those who were not killed, taken or wounded, escaped&
without mentioning their number is doubtful.

A Cornnna Mail arrived on Thursday, with Madrid Ga-
zettes to the 12th. They contain an article, dated Tudela,
the 12th of August, mentioning, that the ce.ehrated Mina
had passed through that town on his way to Pampeluna.
Jaca, the only fort which still held out in that quarter, was
garrisoned by 400 Frenchmen. In Daroca, which lately
surrendered, the Spaniards found 10,000 muskets, 90,000
shirts, 40,000 pair of shoes, and 15,000 suits of clothing.
Letters from our squadron off Flushing mention, that on
the 17th inst. the Jason frigate, three brigs, and two cutters,
being the whole of the force now off Flushing, were taken,
in tine style, close into the enemy's port, by the Commodore
the Hon. Captain King. The vessels formed a line, took in
their sails; they then dressed in colours, having the Spanish
over the French, and concluded the display with a salute of
21 guns, in honour of the late victories in Spain, to the no
little astonishment of the enemy. The same letters state, that
so greatly are the armies of the enemy in want of men, that
once more all the best men have been taken from the ships
at Flushing, and sent to the Grand Army: this took place
about a fortnight ago. They collected in all about 2000.
The Juno!) British frigate has been roughly handled in
the Chesapeake, by 15 American gun boats, during a calm;
she was rescued from capture by a breeze, and the coming up
of the Belvidere to her assistance.

It will scarcely be credited, but the fact is true, that
shortly after the engagements of the 26th and 27th ult. be-
fore Dresden, Buonapatte wrote a letter, with his ow*
hand, to the Emperor of Austria, as his father-in-law, to
communicate to him the happy intelligence of his beiug in
good health and safety, after two severe engagements with
the Thosinns ! On every occasion he affects to mai►e i
marked distinction in favour of his august relative the Ers•
peror of Austria; and if he has of late thrown out any pa-
cific overtures, we may be assured that they have been ad-
diessed to that Court. (Tirres.)
