of the successes of the French army, than to relate
the extravagancies with which the English-Journal-. '
ists. endeavoured to lull public credulity. We hear-
tily regret not being able to afford our readers this
entertainment. Indeed the eery retreat alone of Lord ,
11oitrETH evinces the falsity of them to enlightened
Englishmen, until the arrival ot- inevitaOle truth
loads tile hawkers of these reports with indelible ri-
dicule. The tementhrance of Austerlitz ought to
have for ever disgusted the English Ministry from
having recourse to such unworthy .subterftiges.
- What are we in general to conclude from this De-_
claration and these new shifts ? What, indeed,-but
that the. tear has.again -been made by- the intrigues
and for the sole interest of England ! After sacrificing
to this cruel project the advantages proposed to her
is it not singular she should still accuse the am-
bition of France ? that she should reproaCh her with
seeking- to-Mike acquisitions at the very moment
when she was making cessions to her, whiCh she is
unable to deny ?. It stay further be seen frOm this
Declaration, that those whOm England calls her allies
are necessarily the enemies of France. Thus it au-
thorises the Emperor NAPOLEON to reduce them to
au impossibility of hurting ; it forces bins to augment
the power. it complains of : it evidently she-ws that
rate is adjourned until England be wholly excluded
from Use affairs of the Continent.--447gu5.) .
PARIS, Nov. it Dissolution of the Eng-
lish Parliament makes for' some days a happy diver-
sion from the news of the Continent. The in-
trigues going forward every where for the general:
election absorbs the attention of politicians ; they
seem to adiourn every other care. The Ministry
spare neither pains nor money to fill the Parliament
:with their creatures : 'the mistrust of their" own
strength
.has driveis them to this measure.' But the
circumstances are far from being become more ta-
vourable to them. The GRENV.IL LE party are now
between two tires; they have tor• their eneinie, the
friends of Mr. PITT, and the supporters Of Mr.Fpx's
system.
_They" have entirely alienated the former,
and can no longer adopt their exaggerated opinion,
without exposing themselves to public contempt and
a certain downfall. Their position is now equivocal
and critical beyond what it has ever. been. Several
Cabinet conferences are every day held, at which the
Prussian MiniSter attends. Thus, when the English
Government have drawn any Continental Power to
'the brink of ruin, they have no other succour to
afford. her hut conferences! But this serves at least
to shew the concert which exists between the two
Cabinets, and to enlighten those who might yet let
thentselves be misled, by, the dangerous promises.of
England.
We are still at a loss what to think of the Russians,
who never come but as it were to witness the destruc-
tion of their Allies. But we see by the late- Bulletins-
that the Emperor of the French is taking measures
to spare them a great part of thejourney. The King
of PrUssia is realty to be pitied, if he is obliged to re-
ly more upon their courage, than on the generosity
of the Conqueror. A fe,.v days have produced events
which. would fill the history of another century ; a
few weeks may exhibit others not less wonderful and
important. One is not less surprised at the speed
with which the Emperor pursues the fruits of vic-
tory, than at the rapidity he displayed in preparing for
it.—Already the fortresses of Prussia serve as sup-
ports to the. French Army. Already some French
corps have entered Poland. That immense. terrier,
which seethed for ever to separate Russia and France
has at length been removed. It is possible. the Em-
peror ALEXANDER may shortly see the fatal cons&
queuces of the system of his Cabinet : otherwise he
may probably not be long able to disturb the repose
the Continent.=.--(iirgus.)
Conformably to the •measures concerted between
his Serene Highness the Prince Arch-Chancellor of

bishop of. Paris, for the execution of the orders of his
Majesty the Emperor and King, a le Deurn was
Sung on Sunday the gth inst. in the Metropolitan
Church, in thanksgiving for the complete .victory

The concourse of citizens of all ranks, and every
Class; was prodigious.
The ceremony exhibited a speaacle atone° majes-

LAW REPORT.

COURT O.F KlNd's BENCH, Nov. 24.
THE KING V. GENERAL THOMAS PICTON.

'Our readers will recolle& the trial of the De-
fendant I'or infliaing torture, in the Island of Tri-
nidad, upon Louisa Calderon. The trial took place
on the 24th of February last, and appeared in our
Paper of the 25th. In the last term Mr. DALLAS,
as Counsel for General Piton, had obtained-a rule
to skew cause why a new trial should not be grant-
ed, on the ground of the misrepresentation of the
contents of a certain book called the Recopilaciun,'
containing the laws for the Government of the Spa-
nish West Indies, in the evidence of Peter Vargas,
who had stated, that it contained no authority for
.the infliaion of torture. The question whether the
new trial should be granted, came on this day to be
argued.
Before the discussion commenced, and after the
minutes ofthe trial had been read by Lord ELLEN.
BOROUGH,
Mr. GARROW said, that although he wished it
td be distinaly understood, that he did not oppose
.any indulgence the-Court might chalk fit to grant
the Defendant, yet he felt it his duty, as Counsel
for • the Prosecution, to apprize their Lordships of
-one ciicunistance : To support the motion for a
new trial; General haw- bad thought tit to file
affidavits made under the direction of the Deputy
Governor of the Island of Trinidad, without any
authority from • the Court, and not under the man-
damus formerly issued for the parpose. of taking
depositions. He therefore hoped, that at least, if
the Court did not entirely reject that testimony, it
woud allow the Prosecutors time to answer it.

Mr.„.DALLAs wished to owe nothing' to the lenity
of the Counsel for the Crown; though; if necessary,
