Circumstances, and from the _ enormous
through Fiance and Italy, it is clear that the contest is
not ended, and that augmented exertions on our part, and
that of our allies, are necessary to maintain the advantages.
which they have gained, and to push them to a derisive issue.
But what is more likely to coati ibute to this encrease of ex-
ertions on the Continent, and to the subjugation of the ene-
my's spirit, as unanimity amongst us who furnish the nerves
and the weapons of war ? Our Allies must rely with tenfold
security on our co-operation, when they see that not a voice
is' raised in the B•itish Parliament against those sacrifices
which the nation i< called upon to make, to bring the con-
test to a favourable termination. Napoleon, on the other
hand, who trusted to our divisions, and to the exhaus-
tion of• our resources, for a speedy relaxation in the
general efforts now made against him, will, by the
same cause, lose with that hope, the confidence necessary
to undertake great enterprises and to insure their success.
That such effects will naturally flow from the gratifying ex-
ample of concordant views and wishes displayed by the Bri-
tish Parliament at this_ momentous juncture, cannot be de-
nied by any. one who has the least Acquaintance with human
nature. It is, therefore, untandid, unjust, and impolitic, in
the Courier, by strictures which seem the ebullitions of per-
sonal antipathy rather than the fair expression (tf political
sentiments, to discourage and incur the danger of im-
pairing an unanimity which holds out such promises of ad-
.' antage to the European world.

PARIS, NOV. 7.—Her Majesty the Empress Qnccn and 'Regent
has received the following accounts of • the situation of the army on
the 3d Nov. :-- •
On the 30th of October, at the moment when the battle of finnan
was fought, General Lefebvre, at the bend of his division of cavalry,
and of the sth corps of cavalry, c.ommanded by General Milhaud.
flanked all the right of the army, on the side of Briickoebel and
Nieder-issingheim. Ile found himself in presence of a corps of
Russian and allied cavalry, of from 6 to 7090 men ; the combat
commenced ; several charges, all to our advantage, took place, and
that enemy's corps, formed by the junction of two or thice partisana,
was broken, and briskly -pursued. We took from it 150 mounted
prisoners. One loss could ted of about 60 men wounded.
The day following the battle of Henan the enemy was in fall re-
treat ; the Emperor did not wish to pursue him, the army being fa-
tigued, and his Majesty far from attaching any importance. could
only have seen with regret the destruction of 4 or 5000 13avarians,
which would base been the result of that pursuit. His Majesty.
• therefore, contented himself with causing the enemy's rear guard to
be slightly pursued, and left General Bertrand on the Kintzig river.
About ifiree o'clock in the afternoon, the enemy knowing that
the army hail filed oft; retraced his steps, hoping to obtain some ad-
vantage: over General Bertrand's troops.
The divisions Morand and Guillemet allowed him to make his
preparations for the passage of the Kintzig : and when he had passed
it, marched upon him with fixed bayonets, and drove him into the
river, Where the gicater part of his people were drowned.
The enemy lost :;000 men in this affair.
The Bavarian General Wrede, Commander in Chief of that arms',
has been mortally wounded ; and it is remarkable, that all the rela-
tions which he had in the army perished in the battle of Hamm;
among others his son•in-law, the Prince of Oeftingen.
• A Bavarian anti Austrian division entered Franktiirt on the 70th
at noon ; but upon the approach of the scouts of'tlw French artily,
it retired upon the left bank of the Mein, after having-destroyed the
bridge.
