LONDON,
THURSD,IY, 2114 Y 25, 1815.

We rejoice to observe, that the King of the
Nytherlands has appointed the Duke of WEL-
•LINGTOn a Field Marshal in his service, by which
means this consummate Warrior becomes Gene-
ralisSimo of the Allied Army, which forms the
grand right wing of the Invading Powers.
We have understood, that in case of attack by
the Enemy, his Grace has made preparations to
fight hint at Steinkirch. There is therefore not

an atom of foundation for the gt atuitoni and
well-meant assertion "of the Morning Chronicle,
that, our gallant Chieftain woulfl, if assailed,
abandon the Netherlands without a blow, and

shelter himself behind the Prussians at Maestriel

The Emperor ALEXANDER has ass►►►ned the title
of King of Poland, and addressed ,a letter to the
Presideia of the Polish Senate announcing this
event, and assuring the Nation that -it shall be
governed according to its own Constitution !
Another important piece of intelligence is that
the King of SAXofrt"'' has signed the cession of

part of his territory to Prussia, and himself
ceded to the Alliance agalust BUONAPARTE.

The most important intelligence brought by the
French Papers of the 22u (which we received this
morning) i► the Declaration of War against &Jo-
NAPARTE by t' a Spanish Government. The Dc-

claration is said to have been issued on the 2d of
May. The exertions of Spain in ofganizing a
military force to, act as its contingent in the pre-
sent crisis, the promptitude with which its
frontiers .vere occupied by, its troops, and the
decision with whiell all intercourse with the Rebel
Government in France was forbidden, are proofs
of zeal in the cause of honour and virtue, second
to none of themther States of Europe. But one
of the most noble acts that has graced the annals
of any Government, is recorded in the Decrees
of the Spanish Monarch (the-lbesotted, bigot ted,
. infamous FERDINAND," of our Patriot scribes and
orators) for the provision for the widows and
orphans of those who fell in the struggle for
the emancipation of Spain from the usurpa-
tion of BUONAPARTE. The substance of these
will be found among our extracts from the
French Papers. We the rather dwell upon this
subject on account of the foul calumnies and
vulgar abuse with which our Ally of Spain has
been assailed by the retained Adherents of- 800-
NAFARTE in this Country.

The Champ de Mai, like the Review of the
National Guard of Paris, has been postponed
for two days.--We shduld not• wonder that
it also met with further delays. The cumbrous
machinery for this humbug may not be ready,

-The Paris Papers, though equally willing,-are
not near so able at the task of delusion as their
Allies Ors this side.of the Channel. It would be
long before our Talents' Gazette would be so stupid
as to deny desertions and publiSh orders 'for re-
pressing them ; swear there were no insurrections,
and insert Decrees -denouncing them it one half
of the Pt ovinces of France; say that the most per-
fect freedom reigned, and record the appoint-
ments of a' most inquisitorial and despotic Po-
lice ; -and boast of a new, Constitution of Liberty
and Equality in the same columns with Proclama-
tions which place whole districts under military
Jaw, arrest whole classes on suspicion of being
suspected, -and banish other classes for fear they
should revolt.

lVe republish the Official Bulletin confirmative
of the overthrow of Signor Mugu., which was

From accounts brought by a Dutch Mail this
morning, and inserted under our usual head, the
learn that the French army which was coneen.,
trated about-Valenciennes has made a sudden
movement on its right, advancing towards Givet
on the Maese, in three columns of 16,000 each.
Givet is only•twenty miles from Namur, and in
the direction of Liege, so that there can be
little doubt but this demonstratio►l is aimed
at the Prussian force cantoned in these districts.
It is not improbable that the Enemy has been led
to this manceitvre from a supposition that his in-
triplet, had been successful in instilling a spirit of
mutiny and revolt into a portion of the Allied
troops ; hut he that as it may, the moveme►►t is
decisive, and the critical moment h►as arrived.

Yesterday the Euphrates frigate, Captain PRES-
TON, dmphion ditto, Captain STaWAUT, and Efit-
pgich sloop of war, Captain Cone, sailed fioni
Portsmouth with sealed orders.

Yesterday Mr. JOHN Qutuctt ADAMS. • the
w American Minister to our Court, landed at
Dover, and proceeded to town.

We und?rstand, that the Call of the Honse of
Commons wid certainly be enforced on Ttv2stlay,
previous to the. discussion of the Catholick

Question.

The Morning Chronicle has not inserted Baron
BoxNAttm's Decree, which acknowledges the
extent of the insurrections in France, and, con-
sequently, thinks it has a good right still to de-
ceive the Public, by denying their existence

The Morning Chronicle is quite disgusted wit

e People of England, because they will not be

come converts to its patriotic doctrines, nor join
its shout for Liberty and 13UONAPARTE, Jacobinism

,And Despotism. So strong indeed is the passion
excited by this contumacy on the part of the
People, that the Chronicle can keep its tem-
per with them no -longer, and this morning
breaks out in the following insult :—" A few
plain, simple questions addressed to the common
sense ,of England, IF any such quality or commodity
be left in it." We are surprised that the Chronicle
ca❑ doubt the existence of at least scone common
sense in the c►►untry; for though it is true that the
hulk of the Nation detest, and nearly all the re-
mainder _who do not detest, despise the rank sub-,
serviency of this Journal to the enemies of En r,
land, surely it might reckon on some few parti-
zans, since Lord GREY spoke in the,House of
Peers, Mr. WAITHMAN and Mr. FAVP.LL in the
Guildhall, and Major CARTWRIGHT, Sir F. BUR-
DETT, and Mr. WALKER o❑ the. ominous scaffold
in Palace-Yard,

To such persons as these indeed, are the " plain
simple (simple enough God wot) questions" ad-
dressed. They are in soorh so very simple that the
word silly would be an excellent synonytne ; nor
can we wonder at this fact,-when on reading down
about half a column oftrash, we discover that the
whole cunning of the plot is to draw us in to
read a pill direct of a nonsensical pamphlet, pub-
lished by a Goose in a red ribbon.
Of course our Readers will excuse our dilating
upon a production fit only for the common sense
of France, if any such, quality or commodity be l,ft
in it.. We commend it to time Moni—alias Menteur.

• Mr. K EMBLE.—The progress of Mr. hEMBLE's
recovery is not so rapid as was expected. He
passed a sleepless night, and -coughed incessant-
ly. But the. more alarming symptoms are quite

During hours yesterday, five French

on the French walk ; some of them appeared in

By late accounts from Cronstadt we learn, that
a large fleet of Russian vessels are assembling
there, for the purpose of taking troops on board.
