BRUSSELS, 11lmtcn.13.—Letters,from Frankfort
of the 6th instant, continue to speak of the great-
exertions-making, in Germany and the neighbour-
ing countries, for sending reinforcements to the.
head-quarters of the Allied Powers. A levy of
between 12 and 16,000
.men crossed the Rhine,
near rreiLutg, 'on the Ist of the month. .A force
of nearly the same extent had crossed that river
at Eanetick, and 600 men, a day or CIV6 pre-
viously, had entered liqankfoit from DarinStadt.
'These are only, however, small detachments of
the great levies which are actually ontheir march
on all the principal military roads..
BRUSSELS,. MAECH 15.7—The French General
Marant, who commands at Ostend, having learnt
that the Allies had in Bruges only sixty infantry
and 'sixteen horses, !allied out with
.700 men to-
wards Bruges, which the Sinai! garrison left on
the news, of Ms approach. When tine French
came before the gates they found them open, and
entered the city. without any opposition ; a de-
tachment took possession of the principal corps
de garde. Notwithstanding this,- the French,
without the least provocatics, began to fire from
several howitzers which they had bronght with
them, whereby many inhabitants were killed and
several houses damaged. Meanwhile General
Alai-aut demanded a contribution of 100,000
franks, to be paid in two hours, but the French
hearing that the-Allies, considerably reinforced,
were advancing, hastily left the town without
waiting for payment of the money ; but the peo-
ple, incensed at the infamous conduct of • the
French, fell on the rear and took some prisoners,
who- fell a sacrifice to their rage ; then they fell
on the houses. of some favourers of the French,
and plundered them, and tvould have proceeded

lies made by the French from the other fortresses,
as Dclfzyl and Coverden ; but have no later ac-
counts from the allied armies in France.]
BREMEN, MARCH 10.-The garrisons of Stras-
burg, Kehl, and. Landau, made several sallies in
February, but were constantly repulsed with loss
by, the Russian arld Baden troops' under Count
Hochberg. To alarm the garrison of Strasburg
and show the means which the blockading corps
possessed, Count Hochberg caused a battery ,to
be erected very near the fortress, in .the night of
the 14th of February, and towards morning caused
a quantity of grenades and red-hot balls to be
thrown into the town, which excited such alarm.
and confusion that the batteries on the ramparts
did not even return the fire.

PAPERS.

[Frum the Vittoria Paper of l'ith March.)

In the battle of the 27th ult.' the French Ge-
nerals Ilarispe and Foix were wounded, and 'an-.
other General ,killed. The o:Beers taken pri-
soners say, that, by an order from Buonaparte,
a fifth .part of the
,pay is kept back from the whole
of the French Army. Many of the conscripts
escaped "to their houses,. and every clay some de-
sert. They'write from Iron that the battering
artillery ha-s passed tine ,Adour ; that the diviSion
of Carlos Espana, and several EngliSb brigades,
were forming the siege of Bayonne ; that the re-
mainder of the Spanish troops, and the head-
quarters of the 4th Army, were already in march,
with rations for four days. ,
(From the Vittoria Paper of the 7th.)
The day before yesterday an Aid-de-Camp from
the Lord passed this place, with the details of the
events which took place on the 27th ult. - All that
we have been able to learn is, that if the roads
had allowed the right and left columns to arrive
in time, Sault was inevitably lost; but he suc-
ceeded in passing the Adour, although iii disorder,
and with such precipitation that be abandoned the
large magazines of forage and meal which be had
in Aire and Mont-Alarsan, where the left of the
Altlied Army was.

(Front the Vittoria Paper of the sth or March.)
On the 27th.of 'February-, in the vicinity of Or-
tides, Marshal Soult was completely beaten, and
his army dispersed, was retiring towards Burdios,
in which -direction the Duke of Ciudad liodrig,
notwithstanding his 'having been wounded in the
arm, as also General Alava, was pursuing hitn.
We have not received.all-the particutars of this
brilliant victory ; but it is stated that an EngHA
General was killed, andet wo or three others wound-
ed in ; that the number of French killed ex-
ceeded 3000, with 900 prisoners-, and that they
itiosides lost S pieces of artillery. It appears that
the division of Morillo took a brilliant part in
.this memorable day ; and, it is even added, that
this valiant Captain lost a-horse.

[From the Vittoria Paper of I,t March.
kis said that 8000 infantry and 2000 horse; of
the English militia, which are tht: best troops,
have disembarked in Passages.

'MADRID, NIARCH 5.

SITTING OF TILE lORTES OF rUiE 4TII OF :HARM:

The Secretaries of State presented theinieives
to give an account to Congress of the stare of the
nation.

TheSECRETARY of the TREASURY read a. memo-
rial, from which it appeared that the estimates for'
the service of the armies amounted t 0.779 Millions
wt reals [N. B. 20 reals vellon make a dollar] :
and that of the anticipated third of the direct con-
tribution, only' 39,894,467 'Tali had been raised :
so that there still remained to he collected some-
what more than 76 millions of reals. s The esti-
mates for the other services very slightly varied
from preceding ones; and upon the whole, the
expences of this year exceeded those of the
preceding by two millions and A half of reals.—
The deficit was very considerable ; but the Mi-
nister abstained from pointing Out the means of
covering it, and left it to the wisdom and pru-
dence of Congress, to decide whether it would be
expedient to re-establish any of the abolished taxes,
which might be least injurious to commerce, in-
dmtry, and the arts. The extensive sense in
which the abolition of provincial revenues and
monopolies had been taken, had caused an extra.-
ordinary decrease of the general revenues ; which
be proved by the very trifling produce of the cus-
toms in Valencia, which at present ahotinded with
articles which ought to pay duty. The Govern-
meet was letively employed in enforcing the pay-
ment of the direct contribution ; and Congress
would decide as to the expediency - of, making a
natioc* or foreign loan, to the amount of tsvo•

•
thirds of the expences of one year, under suitatie
Conditions.
After a variety of fines' ions had been put to the
Minister by several of the Members, :the memo-
rial, on the motion of GANG ARGUELLES, VAS
ordered to be referred to a Committee, WI
printed.
The SECRETARY AT WAR was then introducerlr
and read an exposition of the state of the 03;11-
tall force of the country. He stated the total
amount of the army at 184,152 men, and 17,416
horses viz. 155,609 infantry ; 21,705 ca al'
of whom a number were dismounted ; 3,242 foot
artillery ; 1,212 horse-artillery ; and 2,32 Or
ers and pioneers. in the above amoot Were
not included various stationary corps, whicl'
would'swell the amount of the army to 193,70,
• men.. He then spoke of the causes which twile
the disposable force small, when compared witil
the ‘v hole, and set forth the progress which the
arm'es had made since October last, and the fol.',
tresses which,had fallen into our power. He 4z't>'
ave a sketch of the military operations ogai' l.
he rebels in New. Spain, Peru, New Granada, o'4
Venezuela, .
It appears from his exposition, that there wero
attached to the army, seven Captains-General, 66
Lieut -Generals, 185 Marselials tie Campo, a°
353 Brigadiers. In the. military academies ther",.
were 1603 pupils.
The SECRETARY of MARINE stated the tre°2
want of naval resources xvhich still existed; though
be trusted that it would be in the power of (ire'
vernment to pay more attontion to the navy
future.• The vessels at present in service Srcrc
five ships of the- line, 10 frigates, and about (A''
smaller vessels, 20 of which were packets.

Priso ss of Custrin has capitulated ; the garrison
"I's of war. 'Bruges had been
_entered and
'?-Indered by the Enemy ; and from Naarden a

41"1 another General and 3000 men killed. They
izlculate the prisoners. at 900; but the greatest
leduction of the Enemy's force has arisen from
(leaertion.

leech Papers of the 19th (Saturday) furnish us
4ai a
few extracts. They are important, as the

tine the French Funds to that date proves that
e of at Chatillon remained rinfinished,
d, therefore; that affairs are retrievable. There

and .the entrance of the French into Cha-

;s• If any considerable action has been
.°llght in. this ,direction, . it must have been
l'gainst the Austrians. On' the Allied right, it
13 stated, ft:Oro Soissons, that so' late as the 17th
P,r'ucHEß was held in check -on the road to
La6n ; but an article in a minor Journal- of the
15th acknowledges that Compeigne, to the west of
4issons, and nearer Paris by the Sculls road, had
been attacked by the Cossacks. There is an angry.
Prc,clatnation by SOULT, directed against Lord
I'VELLItIoIoN and' the • insurrection in France.
:either of them are to be so put doWn.

The Editor of Tfl,E SUN EN-ening Newspaper
(S.YS the Conductor of a new Whig Organ, in-
tended for the illumination of the population of
Staffordshire) having ' seen a Staffordshire I.Wer-
cloy of the sth inst.' has pretended to reply to
some of the observations of`Mr. TQLLETT, at the
late Public Dinner ; al,d to doubt tke respecta-

bility o' the Meeting, because there were so few
Peers present ! He would judge of Staffordshire,
by the vicinity of London. He ought to know
that the commanding respectability of a commer
cial county consisted of an independent gentry:
We have tradesmen in Staffordshire who could
purchase half a dozen of the fluttering Nobiliq
who hover about Bond-strcct and the Opera
'House."

As the lucubrations, in this provincial Journal
appear to he ably met and counteracted by well
informed Writers, in papers circulated in the same
sphere, and especially in the Macclesfield courier,
nd a Newcastle Print, it.is scarcely necessary for
,us to notice the above paragraph. But as we
had intimated an .intention of returning to the
subject of the attempt to establish Whiggish
orgies, and inculcate Whiggish principles, and
promote Whilggish electioneering, and other
party purposes, in this populous and dis-
tinguished County,— in which intention we
still continue,—we may be excused for no-
ticing, in the first place, this lame allusion to
Our 'preceding observations. We are not, so il-
liberal as ever to have entertained the opinion (and
consequently could not have expressed it), that the
persons-who composed the Meeting in the Staffor-
dshire-hall were wanting in respectability. With their
private characters or consideration we had nothing
to do, and it was only their public exhibition of
ribald revelry, and public dissemination .of
pious folly, that provoked our animadversions.—
We will take the adversary's word- for it, that
rich tradesmen and wealthy gentlemen supplier(
to this assemblage the evident deficiency of titled
rank and dignified nobility.. Such men are in-
deed the strength and ornament of a free country.
1314 how came they to attain this weight and in-,
fluence in society ? Their very condition refutes the,
whole tenour ofsheir arguments. Under the ad-
ministration of Mr. PITT, and the Successors act-
ing upon the principles of Mr. PITT, have they
attained the consideration they now claim, while
with ungrateful slander they arraign the memory
of the man to whose glorious perseverance, con-
stancy, and talents, they owe their elevation and
all they possess.
We cannot allow any set of men thus to blow
hot and cold, like the Satyr in the fable. We
hold it to be ludicrous and absurd in these Patriots
to mention the happy circumstances in which the
Country is placed, as affording them the fittest
opportunity for meeting to rejoice in her pros-
perity, and When they have met, to consume the
tithe iifsdeclamhtory railing about hardships and
-miseries which exist only in their own imaginations.
We hold it to be ludicrous and absurd in them to
vituperate- against the system which, during the
last thirty years, (with very short intermission)
has given them their wealth and consequence;
and made Staffordshire, what they describe it, a
great eomthercial County. The state of the whole
Empire, however, its internal resources, its exter-
nal power, its commerce, •its possessions, its cha-
racter and rank in the scale of nations, at this hour,-
compared with what it was at the close -of
the American War, %when Mr. PITT came into
Office, with the revenues ,of the country not
equal to a peace Establishment, with its com-
merce .nearly annihilated, and with its popula-
tion depressed and disheartened, furnishes the
best answer and refutation to the ponderous ora-
tions of Mr. TOLLET, the pithy remarks of Lord
CREWE, the professions 'of faith of Sir R.LAWLEYi
and all the arguments of all the Whigs (not a
very numerous body) in Staffordshire.
Their eulogies on Mr. Fox, and assertions of
the disinterestedness of Mr. LEACH, we have, no.
inclination to combat. The Coalitions with Lord
Nosurst, in his early,. and Lord GRENVILLE, in
his later lite, prove that the former had no feeling
for office.—Lord ESSEX could perhaps, if report
speaks truth, supply-the next Meeting with Notes
and Commentaries upon the latter !

A Correspondent writes us—" I have just seen
some Dutchmen -from Ternense but they bring,
nothing fresh., They really believed, as did we,
that Paris Was taken by BLUCHER. - The Cossacks
at Ghent made a feast in !lotionr of the event."
