CORUNNA PAPERS.

CORUNNA, DEC. N.—Nothing .can be said,
with certainty, either of the army of the, enemy
.or the Allied Army ; they both preserve their po-
sitions; .the former hoWever, is only emplOyed in
making excursions to procure provisions, though
a report has been current, that they arc taking
the direction of Asturias, it is not certain. .
The French arc obliged to employ a great num-
ber of troops in their foraging parties, and send
considerable reinforcements
.wherever • they wish
to maintain a point* sithout, which they, would
infallibly be cut off. • .
SANTIAGO, DEC. was not true that the
,French had approached Leon and Astorga. From
both these places the last mail brought letters of
a very recent date. This report originated .in•.
the threat of the., enemy to proceed to Leon,
and thence to. Asturias,--a design which, ac-
cording to confidential , advises; they have. de-
' silted from and jell' back upon Tor*, which
shews that they felt considerable anxiety
with rc-
spect to the movements Of. Lord Wri.t.ixo'roN,
it was not certain whether he would not advance.
upon Salamanca, as was asserted. The greater.
Part of our troops of the Gth army have 'already
arrived' at Puebla de Sanabria find its neighbour,-
hood, and stragglers are continually joining, so
that it appears that the loss was not so great us it
‘vas thought, and as the violent rain and heavy
darkness of thoSe days made us suppose.

that may be relied on, we learn that the first
French troops, who, to ihe number of. 1500,
were in Benevente, with a General at their head,
have marched for Zamora, taking with them the
tattle they brought, from the vicinity of Sala-
manca. They did not molest the inhabitants, and
took great care to preent the soldiers from strag-
thug, that they might not be assassinated.

The Atoolteur of the 31st of December contains
the following notes on an article which appeared
in an Eigii,h Paiier, stating that the French were
nin to evacuMe Spain, and be confined to
k.•ance, and that I.(rti Walpole , had arrived at

~Cricnna.
(I,)' Far from evacuating:Spain, fresh troops
are Marching thitheri. Our.armies have rendered
all-your efforts vain; and your country and your
treasure are exhansted.hohis 'contest, dispropor-
tionale to your population, and the wants of your
establishments in ASia and America. Spain be-
longs 'to the French dynasty no human effort can
prevent
(2.) " Even, Holland, Runic,. Tukeany, Pied-
mont, Belgium, the county of Nice." That would
be fine ! But why so much moderation ? Wiky stop
inso fine a career? Why.not take advantage of
the moment, and divide France l.Bseheve me, that
should you even collect, in a Corps de Nation, those
twenty or twenty-five millions otmen, who are so
near you, ,you will run danger. . Separate them :
again make a Duke of Burgundy,. a Wire of Aqui-
taine, a Duke of Normandy, a Duke of Britanny ;
then only you will have security!! you remem-
ber the tine times- of Charles le Temeraire, and
those of the House of Montfort ? That would be
very fine, would it not ? But whilst yon,dream of
these wonders, Ireland separates herself froui you ;,
your country is revolutionized the. Continent is
already without dependence upon your Administra-
tion; even Russia, • at present so dear, will not
have your manufactured merchandize.
(3.) Fortunately fin. the Continerit, ',France
and Austria are inseparable it wa tire :alliance
of 1156 which created the marine that delivered
America. Lord
.Walpole, is no longer'at Vienna :
he was not listened to. No Continentat power
will separate itself from France';' be: deaf
to your intrigues. Besides, •fortr millions of
Frenchmen fear nothing. Woe to you if any
weak Cabinet hearkens to your councilssl-7-You
'wilt still be the cause of increasing the force of
France ; femur hundred thousand men are actually
on foot in the interior of France,without reckon-
the armies in Spain and the Grand Many, No
fresh assistance of men or money' is necessary to
France; but if Only were-it the destinies. of the
empire were menaced--.-know that 300,000 men,
and 300 are every.year forthcoming.—
It Will neither cost the nation men tun. money to
support its Consideration, anti' the genetal safety
of the eMpire; of Italy, and the. Confederation of
'the Rhine. •
