140141 TUE jETERSBURGII PAPER OV AUG. IT.

On the .4th (16th) Aug. including the
,notifi-
cation of six /Jays, stipulating for the resumption
of hostilities, the Armistice was to finish. This
space of two months and twelve days having left
little hopes of a conclusion of a just unit honour•
able peace, it is probable that the bluodycontest on
whirls definitively 4lcpends the late of Europe,
is about to commence. The enemy, as might be
expected, had rather in view, in demanding this
suspension of arms, the assembling of new force's
to enslave nations who are strangers to him,
than, that of restoring that calm Which so many
fitottns' rendered so necessary and so precious to
them ; but such is the nature of circumstances in
which Europe has for such u length of time found
herself; it is by blood",-that the Hydra revolution I
had its Itirth, that she is soa,ed, and in which she
must e\pirc.—it is without doubt said, it is lin-
'mill:ging to the human mind that an age, which
if called the age of 'understanding and philosophy,
should precisely be that in which the science of
crime has bewi cultivated the must profoundly and
the most AccesifollY; that whith has.gi wen the roost
dreadful examples of human perversity. Providence
,Auise impenetrable decrees laughs at our vain
reasonings, after haring punished so much pride,
will, at last, make the good cause triumph. Let
11', dare hope, 0451 aatiallS tried by so many mis-
hollow. unit calamities, will understand their real
nteresta better. The ,iplrit of re,•olt will no !finger
place arms in their himds to use akpijaht them.

A. very uafounded and unfavourable opinion
having obtained possession of the faculties Of some
of oarvanteMporaries, the have this mortt-
log Wien very utinacesSarily thrown intO-'a
.state
of uncertainty- with respect to the :nit:render of
the Castle of'St. Sebastian. Wexejoice to be en-
abled to dissipate these •loubts.
There was no mistake, nor,any apprehension of
mistake, irr the Telegraph e.onuattnication, Cap-
tain IthsoX, of the President, left the North coast
of Spain on the afternoon of the 9th instant. At
five o'clock that morning he received a note from
Sir Gamma, COLLIER, acquainting hint thut at 12
o'clock .that day the Castle_of ISt. Sebastian woul4
be surrendered, The President stood, Ili towards'
St. SebaStian, and accordingly at 12 o'clock a sa,
MC was fired, and..the Spanish Colours hoisted on
the Castle. '

We trust this statement will remove every ap-
prehension upon the subject. On the Btlt the
French Commandant requested a parley, and- in-
timated a wish to surrender, on being permitted to
march out with the honours of war, and be convey-.
ed with his troops and baggage to France. This was
refused, and the hour we have mentioned fixed for
the unconditional surrender of the Castle, of which
event there could he no more irrefragable proof
than the unfurling► of the Spanish flag on these
hardly-won towers.

The Preddcrd anoliored in Cawsand Bay, and
having landed' General PIMA' and another
Ufti-
ccr, proceeded to PortimOutli.
KWYES, .the Mesenger, arrived yesterday
afternoon, about fire o'clock, ivith dispatches
from the Marquis of WeLLINCToN. lie embarked
on the Bth off San Sebastian;

Since writing the above, the following Official
Bulletin bac come to bancl,_ and frilly con`iirms
what we have stated
ADMIRALTY-01;1,1CP, SrPT. IC, 1813. .

ft His Majesty's ship President, Captain MAsox,
sailed from St. Sebastian's on The evening of ther)th.
" At five in the morning of that day, Sir
CQLLIER sent his last orders and 'letters *on board
the President; Ivith a private note to Capt.lhsoN,
'stating,' The ea,tle kill surrender• to-day—a sa-
lute will annotincie 'it.'
" Captain "ArlAsoN. states, that at' noon a salute
was fired, and When the President stood in shore
:it 2p: m. the Spanish flag was flying on the
Custle.

in a month ; should not • be surprized to
learn that it is altogether a, fabrication. Thc
numr! of that ilhistrions General is. a towcr of
strength, and the partizans of Be 0 NAPARTE feel,
that when such men as Mounw anti BEttNADoi-rE
arc opposed to their Chief, it raises a tie* and
dangerous question of right and policy, in the
Vrench Mind, nut as between NArof.rox'au
peror, and the Rulers of other States, but-as be-
tween Duo &APA Win a snccesstul political Specula-
tor, and other persons of the same quality brOught
forward
,by the Revolution. When we say of
the same quality, we beg to be understood in the
limited sense, which will occur to every observant
man, as applying only to the rank in soc:ety of
the parties named, Mid in no degree to their moral
characters, in which cave; indeed, it would be dif-
ficult to name a 'human creature so utterly vile as
to be • capable of standing in comparison with a'
monster.

11` uifti firtnte redemptum.

%nen Iltsox.xv,traz wars against his ci-dcoant
compatriots; memory recurs to former titles, his
intperial trappings full from his incuutbercd form,
and the people of France arc forcibly reminded of
his original nothingness. The dazzling incidents
and ;adventitious splendours since added, to cover
and conceal the meannesS•of the individual are re-
moved, and the country will look with a more
equal eye to the vital 'question, bow much
it, has lost or gained by the usurpation of this
Corsican Adventurer.—From much consideration
of the subject in this point of view, the most be-
neficial consequences must ensue, and we have
little doubt, but the re-appearance .of Mott EAU up-
on the European
.stage will contribute greatly` to
the crisis, which' we trust is now approaching,
when France anti Europe - shall rejoice over the
corpse of,the most ambitious and Woody Tyrant
that ever existed.

By an article' in theSe Papers, under the date of
Copenhagen, the 28th, we obserVe, that all coin,
munications between Holstein and Meeklenberg is
prohibited. Js theDardsli(ioverinnent afraid that the
spread of information will •def its
subjects from
the infamous war into which they are phingiql ,to
enable a despot to subjugate Europe We be-
lieve that no orders or decrees can pi rent this,
and that DAvousT has sufficient reason to
.know
that he must not depend on the Danish portion
of his army,—nor is the spirit of disaffection to
the Usurper's cause confined to One country. It
is,miiitersal, and opportunity alone is wanting to
slim his banners deserted, and those who are now
unwillingly dragging his chain, cheerfully rallying
round the' standards of his adversaries.

Acv ices of a late date from Koningsberg assert,
that Prince PAUL of WURITINIBERG has gone.orer
to the Allies with WO regiments of cavalry, and
and that his example has been followed by many
timaller parties.

We also learn from the best authority, that the
Elector of lIEssE CASSEL, actually residing at
Prague, and much esteemed by his Imperial MA7
JINTY, will, in' the cpurse of the campaign, cal-
led his faithful subjects to form a GERMAN tR7
GION in the service of the, Emperor of AUSTRIA.
AMong the ,number of officers -and men who
hive left the French army and joined the. Crown
Prince of S'WEnEx, there are sereral Westphalian
officers of note, who will be employed to form new
partizan corps, and be attached to General Dons-
araw's command.

• Even in the full tide of triumph which accompa-
,ities the exertions of the Regent's Ministers,—ht
the midst of that effulgence of glory with which
1 •
Providence has crowntd their labours for the wel-
fare oldie, country, over the affairs of which they
ho prosperously and happily preside, the malig-
•
mint' eye of Party envy • endeavours to disc.over
specks and blemishes; to gratify its. diseased and
inveterate habit of detraction.
.The old theme.
:lisapproval; because troops have been, sent to
St6hUnd,. is this morning renewed by the organ
of,the woe-,begone and depressed Faction, (with
whom, indeed, tha.lErcury is very low, when the-
sueccst:cs of their, country' uninterruptedly rise so
high), and thus writes their worthy partizan :

" IVc cannot close our ob4errat ion on the capture of St
,Sehlstian's, witliont agani expres:ong our sorrow, that the
troops genet° stralitind were nut under Lord WFLGINGTUN
at the period of the first assault. It 6 by no means ua eic-
tratwgoot apertin?4,t that with only that small reiliforcement,
to his army 1-W might have no effectually followed up hia tri-
umph in the (tattle of the Pyrenees, as to have rendered this
la,t attack unneceAsary.!'

The folly apd weakness of this paragraph arc
most remarkable. We know not what Rs author
. „
may think an extovagant assertion„ (few asse.r-
ti,;ns, cahadated lo serve. his party, appear extra-
vagant to him), hilt we will venture to say that
I%ellt 15 not a military man, nor a person of com-
mon under‘tanding mu the country who wilt not
laugh at it. Had Lord Wat,LINGITON been rein-
-forced by 600,000 int.tca,t of tnen, it does not

they did as c&ct (tally as if all the forces in C:lghad
had been upon the spot.—So much for the holy
reasoning; but we will tell these patriotic ijrentiti•

cause- further .1 to censure that nugt

which seems for ever to shut the door of po"

A preceding column contains some excellent rt.
marks from the St. Petersburgh Paper. of :la
