tittle foibles ; he is rather addi&ed t 9 drink, rather
given to stealing and dishonesty, rather insolent,
rather brutal, rather lazy, rather profligates but his
talent compensates for these trifling defeEts. The
. masters make a jest of and forgive them. For the,
rest, people do not eat, but devour; and voracity
belongs, in some measure, to the bon-ton.
In another half century, the_ people of Paris will
go abroad only on horseback, or in coaches ; its size
is. prodigious.' A splenetic calculator asserts, that
the more houses there will be in Pdris, the fewer
inhabitants will it contain. Population is always
in an inverse ratio to luxury.

NONE of the Hamburgh -Meals' had arrived when
this Paper was put to. Press ; but Letters have been
,eceived
.from Holland, dated the 14th. These
Letters state, that Prince. HOHENLOHE- had had- a
very severe aE.tion with the Frenth,.in'Which he was
Intimately defeated, with the loss of a considerable
part of his 'artillery .but that he had succeeded in
gaining the right 'bank of the Oder NV 411 the princi,
yal part of hiS army. It is aISO said, that licar4.ltTE,
bad given orders for calling in the different.
detachments of hiS 'arniV, for the purpose of
concentrating his whole force •in the neighbour
hood of. Berlin. This intelligence stands upon no
better' authority than those • reports which ,we
have received for, several days ; but we do not
think it improbable. Although we have not yet re-
ceived any authentic accounts Of the progress of the
Russian Army; yet there can be no doubt that a very
considerable portion „of it has advanced far enough
to form a jundion with any part of the Prussian Army
that may hare been able to effe& its retr'eat across
the Oder. The approach of such a force would
of course render it absolutely necessary for IiONA-
I'ARTE to concentrate his Army, whether he meant

to cross the Oder for the purpose of giving thetp

battle, or of waiting for their attack in the neigh-
bourhood of Berlin. There have been so many
concurrent accounts, from different quarters, of a
. .
battle having taken place between/ the Prussians and
the Vrench, that we are strongly inclined to believe

it and if it lead ended, ns some of the reports,
state, in the capture of ,Prince HOHENLOHE and
the whole of his Army, there can be little doubt
that BONAPARTE would have takcp tood care to
nave forwarded the intelligence to this Country
The Batteries at Boulogne would very soon have
announced so decisive a viaory., We therefore
' think it highly probable, as stated in the Letters to
c..hich we have alluded, that Prince HOHENLOHE has
e;'eqAed his retreat, although with considerable loss.
And the order which BoNA.pARTE. is said to have
given for concentrating his Army in the neighbour-
hood of Berlin, may account for the report which
reached this Country some days ago, of the retreat
of the French, because their falling. back upon Ber-
lin would have the appearance of a retreat.
The rumours of the Austrians having advanced
into Saxony are still circulated. Tt is said they have
taken possei,s:Qu of the important fortress of Koning-
vein.

has been inade by the Commissioners appointed 'to

any power. given to the President of the United

passed in a moment of irritation, and will, we haV6

which will be next month. .
