Many of BUONAPARTes dispatches have been in'ercepted
vb'eti entirely confirm the destitute state of his army, and at
the same time expose the artifices to which he resorts, to
deceive the Continent. Some letter's to Siva air were
takers on a cow ier, in Poland, directing that Minister
how to regulate the language of the Parisian .h..urnals. Still

dead body of hi, master as a Wedge of 11•1'.. sincerity !

Spanish Monarchy.
