with disgust and apprehension. They relied; wimps, too
firmly on their own stability of principle, antithe 'integrity
of their Ministeis, and conscious of the goodniast of their
cause, forgot the weakness incident to humanity,and de-
spised the subtlety and artio;-es of the enemy as powerless,
however skilfully exerted, and frequ cntly.applied, against the
open honesty of their purpose. And yet it was at the very
time they thought themselves impeneti able to the arts of the
French:Ruler, that they fell into his snares ! For had they
not been deceived by his representations, and those of his
agents, they • would have perteived that he had pushed his
advantages to the greatest possible extent, and that bad they
continued to retire unbroken before him, instead of signing
an armistice, he would not only have ceased to follow them
into Poland, but alarmed at the landing of the Swedes in
Pomerania, and the activity of the allied partizans in his
rear, would have speedily fallen back to Dresden. A se-
cond retreat.on his part would have proved the ephemeral
. nature of hiss successes, and might have decided Denmiak,
andcrerhaps Austria, to abandon him entirely to his fate, if
opc to join in his oyeithrow. It is true that the Russian stud
rpssian, grand army was inferior in numbers, but this ittfe-
riorityhad notTrevented it from retiring in excellent order,
even after the sanguinary. and uhfavourable actions of
Bautzen and Wurtchen, and it would not have been more
dangerous to move from the Oder to the Vistula than to
march from the Elbe• to the Oder, even supposiog the
enemy had been so rash as to pursue, and thus incur the
Same pet its he M Moscow. Under every point of view,
therefore, and with the information which we have since
acquired, hut which the Allies ought they to have possessed,
it is •clear that 'they committed a gross fault in concluding
the originsif armistice, even had it enabled them to prevent
..the -full tvellpement of the military resources of France,
What then shall we now think of the renewal of the armis-
tice, and of the real appointment of a Congress?
The first inference which naturally springs from these oc.
currences, is, that the Allies had miscalculated their means,
and that, notwithstanding their exertions during, the ori-
ginal suspension of hostilities, their hopes, and those of the
world, have been disappointed, and the accession of strength
gained by the enemy has far exceeded theirs. TheiseCond,
is, that finding the same, and perhaps an augmented,- in-
equality of force continued to exist, their firmness -
pose has been shaken, and they begin to concei

th..-1 still Irid in the womb of futurity. The Spanish Cam-
pal:n was scarcely opened, and NAPOL EON, in possession of
Madrid and one-half of the Peninsula on the one side, and on
the whet-, successfully repelling the 4orthein'Allies across
the Elbe, seemed to be regaining too much power by war,
and too likely to encreasc Ins new advantages,. not to make
it advisable to check him midway in his career, by a treaty
guaranteed by every European nation, and therefore less
exposed to infraction. Ile Lad put forth too much, strength
at the beginning of the campaign, not to cause doubt and
alarm, and the Allies conceived that only two ways existed
of removing the dangers which the revival of his military
force portended : either to overpower him by superior
numbers, superior skill, and superior exertions, or to stop his
immediate progress by an Armistice, anti, by the speedy con-
clusion of a treaty, prevent him from carrying his extensive
preparations into effect, and make him lay down his arms,
before one half of the immeose numbers whom he had called
to the field, had.become soldiers. The first, they would most
willingly have adopted, but on comparing their means with
the greatness of the enterprise, they found that they were
not equal to it. The' second, was rendered in some degree
advantageous by their own situation, and easy of attainment,
by the enemy's wish to extricate himself from the difficul-
ties into which his tash advance bad once more plunged him,
and which had induced him to propose an armistice. They
resolved to' acrOpt it, but only in part, as a temporary expe-
dient whiCh would supply -them- with increased resources for
war, and not as a road to peace, which they contemplated

As part of the 35th light infantry were practising ball firing, on the

MA no Arr., JULY 25.—Yesterday a dreadful thunder storm was ex.
perienced here; and, although it passed over the town without injury,
it was productive of fatal effects in cur immediate vicinity. A donkey
party, common at watering places, consisting of a gentleman, Iwo
young ladies, and two little boys, had gone hi the evening to Ilams-
gate ; on their return they were overtaken by the thunder worm. They
immediately sought fsr shelter under the porch of a house on Chapel-

ing the donkeys on the road. Time storm still continuing, the donkey.
drivers, fearful lest the poor animals, frightened by the storm, might
ruts home. went out to see if -they were still there. They h►md scarcely
reached the spot, when a tremendous flash of lightning struck one of
then' dead, threw the other to the wound, scorching his eyes and
arms, and killed three of the donkeys. The boy who is alive was car-
ried home, and there; is every reason to hope, 'lna hr is now in a cqn..

THE DANDELION. PREACHERS.

MR. EDlTOR—Permit me to congratulate the fashion-
able part of the world on the great addition made to the
amusements of Margate and its vicinity, by the appear-
ance of the Messrs. Towt4Levi, Clergymen, at Dandelion,.
Their lectures on the Millcnium, at eighteen-pence per
head, will doubtless have a great effect on the Margate
foiks. I take it for granted, donkey racing, and hunting a
pig with a soaped tail, assist their exhibitions between the
lessons. The ministry of the'e Gentlemen must be as bene-
ficial to the morals of the multitude, as the sermons of Me-
, thodist teachers would be between the acts of a play at
Drury-Lane or Covent-Garden.-1 am, Sir, yours, &c.

EXAMrNATION OF JAMES LEARY

HATTON-GARDEN.—Monday, James Leary was again brought
up before the Ithektrates of thi Office, when the further investi-
gation of the murder of Edward clifitrd was proceeded in.
John Lawson deposed, that on the morning of the niurdcr, he
was at the spot at an early hour : there were several people there
as well as himself. He ft-itind near the spot where the blood and
brains lay, the clasp knife now produced.
Robinson worked with Leary, the prisoner, Coe
some tine previous to the murder ; he was shown the knife fottnd
on the spot, but did not that it belonged to the prisoner.
A person, whose name we could not hear, knew the prisoner; he
knew also that lie had a knife, and which he had heard him describe
as beillg broken at the point. lie was shown. the knife toned, and
was of ('pinion that it answered the de:wription the prisoner had
givCti him of the knife which he had spoken of.
Tee WitliCSA teas desired to take the knife to the prisoner at the
bar, and to ask him if it had ever been his.
'1 he prisoner immediately acknowledged that the knife liras
his.

The several witnesses who had been previously ex:mined were
then called, and signed their depositiows, and were bound over to
a:pear before the Grand Jury.
The office wa; crowded to excess at an early hour.

IMPORTANT OPERATIONS IN SPAIN.

Up to a late hour last n:ght no dispatches had arrived from
Lord WELLINGTON to appease the public anxiety. As
soon as any intellligence is received, we shall communicate
it in a Second Edition,

Although the affairs of the North begin to wear a lowering
aspect, and the war, vainly suspended by a second armistice,
seems ready to break out in all its fury, every eye is turned
towards the West. There our best wishes and affections
naturally centre, and our most confident hopes are fixed.
There we are committed hand to band with the foe, and
whatever success may attend the cause of our northern Allies,
no t► iumph can he so dear, as that for which we are to mix
the tear of regret with the joy of victory. Spartan mothers
exulted over their sons gloriously fallen in battle : less heroic,
we mourn the brave, but the grief that is felt, adds a more
tender interest to our victory. The tear that falls upon
their grave, is a precious gem consecrated to their memory,
a pledge of national gratitude and national sympathy.
The semi-official reports of important engagements be-
tween the British and French Armies in Spain, which have
prevailed during the whole of the week, have not yet as-
sumed a sufficiently authentic form, to remove suspense and
quell apprehension. It appears pretty certain that we were
repulsed with cfmsiderable loss in our attack on St. Sebas.

SPATE OF FRANCE.

The interesting pamphlet which we mentioned in our last'
as coming from the pen of Field Marshal Don J. S. CON-
TRERAS, late Governor of Tarragona, has since made its ap-
pearance. Its rontrnts have not disappointed our expecta-
tions. It abounds with the most uset.t information on the
real state of France and influence of the Government, and
the following remarks on the diameter, policy v2lropo-
larity of Buonaparte, on the new system of education he has
introduced throughout his empire, and its tendency, and on
the means of resisting and defeating his ambition, will be
found complntely to justify the opinion we have expressed of
its merits. It is unnecessary, however, to state, that we
totally differ the General on the policy of introducing
the Conscription amongst other nations as the most effective
means of counteracting the power of France. Born under
an arbitrary Government, it is not astonishing he should be
ignorant that there are States where the constitution shields
the people from every act of oppressisyn at home, and thus
gives them spirit to defend their liberties against tyrants
abroad.

" As it may be expected, he is detested, but be is obeyed.
The scourge in hand, he would make the very last French-
man march. He will defeat the Allies, as long as they shall.
err as to the means to be employed against him, as long as
they shall be the dupes of his perfidiousness, and to his ex-
traordinary and revolutionary measures, will oppose those
that are common and regular. I am far from wishing that
be should be imitated in the odious parts of his conduct.—
Justice and moderation• can alone lay the foundations of a
solid union. But let my voice be heard ! Let every foe to
that ever-reviving hydra, unite to effect its overthrow. The
whole universe will be in arms, it is true, hut the conflict
will only last one moment. That man's strength lies in. our
disunion and blindness. We possess a thousand means, and
there is nothing to do but to employ them.
" It is believed, and frequently asserted, that the Allied
Powers,, and all the legitimate Governments, can neither
adopt the same measures as BUONAP A RTE, nor employ the
same means to bring such large armies into the field. This
is a mistake. Is it impossible to exert that prodigious activity
which forms the basic of his successes'? Is it impossible to
introduce the conscription into other states besides France ?
Is it not established in Wlland, Italy, Biwa+ ia. and Saxony ?
Has it not been carried into Poland ? By Buonaparte, it is
true; but certainly what he has effected with lately con-
quered nations, by whom be is detested,- to enslave the
world, may be dope in loyal states by a legitimate, long
established, and beloved Government, to shield them from
slavery, and secure their independence. It would only be

DISPATCHES OF SIR C. srEwART.

An extraordinary Gazette ptiblished on \\'ednesday night
put us in possession of an able account of the battles of the
20th and 21q ult. written by on Minister in Prussia, Sir
CHARLES STEWART, who minutely describes those two im-
portant actions of which he AA-as a spectator. His statement,
which is extremely clear, differs in several points from that
publi.hed by the Governor of Berlin, which had reached
us previously. According to him the Allies retired from the
field of battle at Bautzen on the 20th, leaving it, with the
town, at the close of the engagement, in the pos•eFiion of the
Trench, after having fought with the most distingukbed
bravery. On the 21st, the anniyet<ary of the celebrated and
sanguinary battle of Aspen), fought beyond Vienna on the
right hank of the Danube in 1809, the enemy attacked the
entrenched positions (.1 the Allies at all points with superior
numbers, and the conflict was maintained with alternate suc-
cess and the most deterinined resolution for several limits
but at last the enemy having carried a battery and the
heights that commanded the centre, and succeeded in turn-
ing the right wing of the Allies, they retired in the greatest
order, and up to the 24th ult. the day the dispatches
were written, had fallen hack as far as Goldberg, about sixty
miles from, the field of battle. Sir Cu Atct. ES bestows the
highest praises on the gallantry of the Itusz,ian and Prussian
troops, and attributes their failure cutirvlv to the Uric! icy ity
of their numbers; which enabled NAPOLEON, not only to tut n
their right, but to bring superior forces on every point of
attack, They had no more, Sir Cu ARILS tells us, than
65,000 men even after having effected their junction with
the reinforcements under BARCLAY DC 'FOLLY and some
Prussian corps, whilst the French amounted to above
1'20,000. They intended moving still further back on
Schweidnitz.

the Court of tit. Petersburg. The Emperor wts inclined
towards peace, but feared the opposition of his Nobles and
his people, who were decidedly for war. The fall of Mos
cow would have made him sign the treaty, had not KUTU-
SOW insisted in the most pressing manner on the propriety
of prosecuting the war at a tune when the French Grand
Army, almost cut off from Poland. seemed delivered up to
the vengeance of the recruited Russ!ans. llic advice at last
prevailed over ALEXANDER'S indecision, and as long as he
lived, he so skilfully. exerted the influence which his
triumphs had given him over the mind of his Sovereign, as
to push on the campaign with a degree of unexampled
vigour during the mast arduous season. Ills death is there-
fore the greatest calamity that has yet befallen the cause of
Europe. W ITTGENSTEIN, though an alder General, does
not possess the same influence over AL LXANDER, and
if the statement published in the French paper, that
he and WINZINGERODE have resigned their command,
be correct, it must lop attrillzited to a relapse on the part of
the RUSSIAN EMPEROR and the KING Of Paust A into those
weak and pernicious Councils, which disgust tlAt ablest sup-
pot tors of a cause, and thus occasion its ultimate failure. "%Vet
hope, however, that the unfavourable picture whit h the in-
telligence of the week presents of the state of the Allies, is
an exaggerated one. We trust that they have still powerful
reinforcements in their rear which may enable them to stop
the advance of the enemy. Should Austria interpose in their
behalf, still much good ;night be done.

TREATY BEIWFEN ENGI.ANT) AND SWEDEN.

The treaty concluded with Sweden has been laid before
Parliament. It engag-es this country not to oppose the
annexation of Norway to Sweden, and to co-operate b,
sea with the Swedes in their attack on that country, but with
an understanding that an attempt sbal not be made forcibly
to obtain Norway, unless Denmark refuses to join the Al
liance of the I>orth. It contracts to give Sweden an an-
nual subsidy of one million, on condition that she em-
ploys an army of 30,000 men against the common enemy.
The island of Gaudaloupe is to be ceded to Sweden, who is
to give the subjects of England the right of entrepot in the
ports of Gottetdwrgh, Carisham, &c. for twenty years, on
pa) ing a duty of two per cent.
The dire;-ent provisions of this treaty have already been
eeproia•cd by some .lout naffs as impolitic, injudicious, and
even degrading! Either of the two former epithets they may
deserve, should the conduct of r'•weden continue such as it
has hitherto been, and should it he found that she has availed
herself of our money and our co operation to aggrandize her-
self without operating the least good in IR half of the ge- •
teral cause. Should her exertions be directed against Den-
mark
alone, the object, it must he confessed would be totally
foreign to the interests of the North. Denmark, of all
the Powers once under the control of France, is the only
one that latterly displayed a spirit, not only of neutrality but
of hostility against beg. Had therefore his Norwegian king-
dom not been threatened by Sweden in conjunction with
Russia and with our consent, the Danish Monarch, already
committed with France, might have by his defence of liam-
burgh ultimately entered the league against her, or at least
would have yielded her no assistance in the contest. The
present treaty, we fear, has thrown him once more into her
