A Common Connicit hai• been summoned for Thursday,
to take into crsideration a Preposition for -an address to the
Prince Regent respecting the signing of the Definitive
Treaty of Peace.
On Friday, Paris Papers arrived to theist instant. They
infotm us, that Monsieur is recovered from his inctsposition ;
and that the late Empress Josephine died suddenly at Mal-
'liaison, cn Sunday last. Her illness lasted but two days.
She expired in the arms of her son, Prince Eugene, and her
daughter the late Queen of Holland.—The Emperor of Rus-
ia was to review his guards last Tuesday, and it was supposed
that the signatue of the Trusty of Peace would he officially
announced to the troops after the teview. All the allied
troops remaininss at Paris would then begin their march
homewa•d.—The intelligence from Madrid in these papers,
boasts that the Inquisition has been re-established, that the
arrests c' Winne, that the republican Journals are all put
down ; and places on a level, in one common mass, the
traitors who sold thems-lve; to King Jr scph, and the loyal
anti patriotic Members and adherents of the Cortes.----The
ttuu,ber of English now at Paris, is estimated at 12,000.
One of Ferdinand of Spain's fast measures has been to
publish a decree against newspapers ; and among the nuttier•
pus arrests which he has ordered, are those of the Editors
of the 1?!.•daelor and Concise.
The Mike de San Carlos is appointed Spanish Minister for
Foreign Affairs, and provisionally of War.—This is the very
man who negociated the late infamous neaty between King
Ferdinand and Buonaparte, which the Cortes very proper-
ty' leftists(' to raiify.
A Halifax Mail arrived Monday, the papers by which
brought later istteligence than that contained in the Gazette
Of Tuesday. Wilkinson re.advanccd on the 30th of March
loin Burlington and PlattA:trgh in great force, and attacked
our post of I a Cole Mill, defended by Major Hancock, of
the 13th Foot. Our picquets being driven in, the enemy
established a battery which opened on the Mill block-house.
With an inferior force, however, Major Hancock attacked
the enemy's guns, but could net succeed,-ist consequence of
the surrounding wood being filled with infantry for their
support. Another attempt was made by a company of Cana-
dian grenadiers and another of voltigcurs. They succeeded
in gaining the enemy'; block -hoese.—The enemy, after
persevering in their attac k till night-fill, withdrew their guns,
and retreated with severe loss ; and thin, Sir George
Prevost adds, the enemy's fourth attempt to invade Canada
has like his former efforts, recoiled on his own head with dis-
grace and defeat."
Commodore Codrington :rain sailed Saturdav se'nnight'
from Portsmouth, for North America, in the Forth, Sir IV
'Bolton, accompanied by the Erebt;s, Captf'.ip Bartholomew,
which vessel is fitted to 'blow Conveve's rocked. It is
Computed, that the reinforcements which have joined Sir G.
•Prevest, Since the last campaign, will enable him to take the
field with a force of 20,000 men. This force will move against
the• Nmerican army from the Canadian fronties, whilst
1'2,000 of the best troors of the Duke of Wellington's Zt toy,
commanded by Lord Hill, will be landed on the Atnefiean
Tholes, arid then 'commence their opt., ations by threatening
Mr. Madison's capital -L The regiments which are to go front
