We bet eve that it is now finally arranged, that
DUNDAS is to succeed Lord CASTLEREAGH as
Semtari of State tor the War and, Colonies.

The following observations we have extracted
from a periodical Work, in the French language,
published in this country. After giving extracts from
the different French, Dutch, and German Papers re=
cently received, it proceeds thus :--
" Before we offer any conjeOures on the false in-
telligence published officially by BIONAPARTE'Siya§sia
courts, and upon, the strange mystery which en-
velopes the news in the Fretich Papers, we ought to
remark, that they do not contradicl the new's pub-
lished officially at Amsterdam,--they only cohtradia;
the orricial Gazettes' of Munich and Stutgard. Ne-
vertheless, the Gazette, of Amsterdam of the t i th,
was certainly at Paris on the itith. Let us now,
advert to. what the French GovernMent has Con-
sented to publish, which, joined to some faEts not
generally known, will form the bases of yhe obser-
vations we are about to offer.

“ The French army ip Spain rn3de retrograde
Wovernents,at the beginning of (Xtoberi and concen-
trated to\.vards Madrid. ' NEYhad arrived there with
Striff, and SuULT had reoaced joeltDAN. Xe-

veitheless the Ahied Army made no movement.
One hundred and twenty horse 3 from tile
stables of St. Cloud, and seveial,of the Court car-
riages, arrived at Bayonne early in Oaober. On
the tith of Oaober,' BERTHren-traversed Lorraine,
cowing from Vienna; and on the 15th Paris Papers,
wh+.:l► had announced the arrival of 11.4ARK0NT and
tom r; /Us-de-Camp of BUONAPARTZ, preserved a
profound silence respeaing the route which BER-
THIER had taken. MAitrIoNT and the two Aids-
de-Camp arrived at Paris on the 13th. The Jour-
tills of the 14th announced their arrival, but those
of the I.f to said nothing about the objea of their

journey ; they do rid even mention any rumours
circulated on their arrival. The return of Buo-
NAPARTE was announced for the 15th, 16th or 20th i
he was 'expeeted at Foutainbleau, where Madame.
BUONAPARTR was to meet him. During this time
the Senate ordered a supplementary levy of Con 7
scripts of 36,000 men. Let us now advert to some
fads, which may throw a light upon all this.
" There are letters in existencei written.by Jo-
6EPH BUONAPARTE at the period that he was made
King of Naples, in which he gave the two follow-
ing reasons for having accepted the crown :-4-First,
that it was necessary foi the security of the new
dynasty on the throne of France, that a BOURBON
SliOUld hot sit upon the throne of Naples. Second-
ly, that there was a plan for transmitting the crown
of France to EUGENE BEAUHARNOIS; and that Jo.-
§EPII, by refusing the crown of Naples; would have
favoured the executir of that proje&, because Buo-
NAVARTE would then have united Naples to the
Kingdom of Italy. JOSEPH would have fallen into
disgrace 'with lii3 brother, who might from that mo-
ment have caused BEAUHARNOIS to be recognized as
his successor in France.

- " When JOSEPH arrived at. Bayonne, frightened
at the,inaurreetion in Spain, he was disposed to re-
fuse the crown; but the Fiench Ministers and
Ge-
nerals reminded him of the projels which had been
formed respe&ing BEAUHAHNOIS, and suggested to
him that he would be much better situated for main-
tAining his rights at Madrid than at Naples, if they
should be disputed. He then determined to accept

" It Ipraf.s nearly certain that BUONAPARTE has

had an attack orinsatrity: Is he cured ?. His in-
adlivity, during three months that he was master of ,
Vienna and Of a part of the Stdtes of the House of
Austria;, the tone of the French Journals -from the
period of his malady their continual contradhiion
on the subje& of the Peace; the official impostures
published at Amsterdam, 'Munich, Stutgard, add
Cassel; all these circumstances taken together, induce
us to believe that there is something extraordinary
which they wish to conceal. It is absurd to suppose that
the delay of three months arose from the intervention
of Russia. If BUONAPARM could have dictated a Peace
to Austria, be would not have waited for. Russia.
But if we suppose that the malady of BUONAPARTE
continues, then every thing is explained, the succes-
sive prolongation of the Armistice, and the Treaty
of Peace, if one has been signed. The moment his
speedy reeovery was despaired of, they would natu-
rally havt determined upon concluding a peace, or a
long truce, and have, given the regency to JOSEPH
Buo NA PA lITE ; but qris arrangement of course would
not have been published until it met with the
approbation of the Senate. Then KIRMON'T and
the Aids-de-Camp might have been sent. to ac-
quaint the Senate with the definitive arrangements,
and BERTH lER might have been sent to Spain for
JOSEPH. In signing the peace they would be sure
of the sanction of the people of France : by giving
the Regency to JOSEPH BUONAPARTE, the only two
parties in France, who have any influence, the Ge-
nerals and the Senate, would be united in point of
interest—the honours, tAe riches, and the titles
granted to the Generals would be consolidated, and
the. Senate would of course acqUire a greater influ-
ence than it had under BiYONAPARTE. The 'French
Papers lately told us, that a higher destiny was in-
tended for EUG,ENE BEAVHARNOIS j perhaps he is
'to be made King of Spain."

The latest advices from Cadiz, dated the gtb
instant, state, that the respective armies of the
Spanish Commanders EQUIA,
.VENEOAS, -EctiE-
vAß.Rlo,.and LACY, had lo:rncd a junction,. and
that their. united forces were •at least 50,000
men. The whole of thisforce, animated with the
highest, entbuSiasM, and well ptovided, were ad-
vancing towards the enemy, and, according' to the
hope and expectation of the people of -Cadiz; an ac-
tion was soon ekpeaed, to take place.---According
to the last accounts from Bilboa, and Gijon, dated
the.l7th
.and 18th, the Spaniards, after a short,
but resolute anion, bad driven the French from the
former place. The following letters confirm this
agreeable intelligence,

" The English remittances for the relief of the
urgent wants of the Allies of Britain, move at an
equal pace with their grand and little Expeditions,
and with all the other measures of that Government;
that is to say, they always arrive too late. Thus,
during the last coalition of 1805, the English sub-
sidies came a day after tfic fair, and in consequence
of the delay, served, to support the enemy, and not
the allies of Eoglaro."
