INHABITANTS Of FLANDERS,

' The wrath Of Heaven has at length failed on

They have been scattered ; those, innunittiable le-
gions; which he had a second time brought under
the vengeful swords of free people; for the
second time a new is lust, and
misery has reached-its height-, insomuch that

The cannon, which had been spiked by the
French, were by his directions unspiked, and seta

their destined places.

A number of large vessels were likewise 1111113 e•

LONDON,
TlftlitSD.4l; DZCZ.VBEIt act. 1813.

Letters from Lord WZI.LINGTON of the 22d,
'have been received by Government this day, which
state the Enemy had shown themselves on the
Mom., with the intehtion of getting into the rear
of Sir itsciwi..AND HILL, but that skilful Oificei was
fully prepared for them, and after a fruitless at-
tempt to effect their put pose, they had deethed it
necessary to make a precipitate retreat.

The length of the Extraordinary Gazette, the
important news from Holstein, the arrival this
morning of two Dutch Muds with a mass of inte-
resting intelligence, and the receipt at our Office
of further 'lemmas from Canada (for all of which
we must endeavOur to find room in our other co-
lutnns) render it impossible for us to offer -such
remarks On these momentous communications as
iv4.could desire. Having furnished the substan-
thil matter, however, we trust that our readers
kill,excuse us for being very brief and summary
in our observations upon ft.

The dispatches from Lord WELLINGTON arc
aPpily so minute in detail, and so satisfactory in
result, as to require no illustration from our pen.
How galling must it be to the 'Tyrant who so
lately lonic(' it over Europe, to hp thus braved
atsd iusulted upon 'French . grounto The superin,:
thy of the Allied Force. is completely established
by these. glorious battles, and' the consequences
in public Opinion must be most ruinous to the tot-
tering Uturper..
_ _

Put sttant to our promise,we yesterglay published
four exira Uitions qf the Sun, with the latest intel-
ligtate that transpired ; the last of these tliti not
epitear till 7 o'clock in the evening, and contained,
the Official Bulletin, List of the Klled, 84e, the
hour being too late to enable ns to print the manes
of the wounded. Having personally waited at
the War Department, suil in common with only

one other Paper (the .frtoitvier) *finally 80116•
tons with ourselves to relieve the public mind, re-
.ceiVed 'the very first Official Returns that were pre-
pared, and hastened to give them to the public, we
confess that we were extreMelysurprized, that, on
so interesting a subject, some .of our contempo-
raries had for hours before ventured to promul-
gate spurious accounts as officials and agonize 'the.
feelings of the Public by mutilated and partial lists
of the casualties, as derived frtius authority! We only
state this much to set ourselves right, as not hav-
ing neglected the pledge we gave, to be diligent
in procuring and publishing the earliest authentic
intelligence. In closing this subject we may be
permitted to pay a deserved compliment to Lord
BATHURST, the Secretaries, and the Gentlemen in
the War Department, whose unwearied, zealous,
and kind attention, in answering thousands of in-
quiries, from the friends of our valiant soldiers,
cannot he spoken of in terms of praise beyond
what is their due.

The accounts from Holstein exceed even the
extent of our yesterday's news. Part of Sleswick
is also overrun by the' fillies. The loss of the
Enemy is estimated at 10,000. men by the Dutch
Papers, and there can be no doubt, from the
situation of affairs, but that at the termina-
tion of the Armistice granted to Denmark, (it
is said for three days), the Government of that
country must submit to the best terms it can pro-
cure, and juin the Continental Alliance. Then
may the CROWN PRINCE turn to the Netherlands,
and, penetrating through Flanders, be the MoNx of
France.

Two Dutch Mails arrived this morning. They
contain a spirited Proclamation by General By-
Low, and an account of a fruitless attempt made
upon Breda by 5000 French from Antwerp, who
were brilliantly resisted by the Patribts, and in
their retreat are likely to pay dear fOi, their teme-
rity, as a cloud of Cossacks are after them.- Gor-
cum has not yet 1.4110 n. By a paragraph from
Belvoetsluis, it would appear that the Allies
would not allow the Neutrality- of Switzerland.

French Papers inform us that a most successful
warfare is carrying on by our squadron on the coast
of Tuscany. Nothing could be mote efficient
than this line of action for the dclik craace of.
Italy.

Our American Papers (far which we find we
Dave not space) contain IlAnatsoN's Dispatch re-
halve to Gen'eral PROCTOR'S defeat, dated De-
troit, 9th October. It is dreadfully long, and
states the British loss at 12 killed, 22 wounded,
aud.6ol prisoners, including 25 Officers; 6 pieces of
brass cannon and 2 iron 24-pounders. The enemy's
force amounted to between 3 and 4000 men, and
his loss 7 killed, and 22 wounded. Me regret to
find, that the consequence of the evacuation of
Upper Canada, has been the defection of many of
our Indian ft lends.

Captain I\lut,O.ts.4* has • beat tha. enemy at
Hamilton, and all along' the St. tiovrence they
have suffered immensely itt provisions, stores,•&e.
The canttnts.of the seven batteanx lately:,taken
from us on Lake Ontario, have been recovered

The enemy's regulars .have entirely quitted
