POPULARITY or BONAPARTE IN FRANCE.
The Prussian ship Hendrick, Captain Haying, has
arrived at Falmouth, from Bourdeaux, which place
she left eleven days since. The inhabitants were
fully acquainted with the late disasters of the French
in every direction, and were loud in the expressions of
their execration of BONAPARTE and his adherents.—
The but cruposition: towards the English and their Spa-
nish and Portuguese prevailed at Bourdeaux, and
the inhabitants were eager for their approach. They
knew that Marquis Virmamtarozi had carried the
lines in'front of Bayonne.

There is also an arrival at Falmouth from Ro-
chelle. The Prussian brig Wow Maria, Captain
Dorcas, left that place on the 21st. He states that
the greatest consternation prevailed there, and that
every male, between the ages of 15 and 30, had been
ordered to join the army, and all the crews of the
ships of war have been landed for the same purpose.
It was given out by the French authorities that five
hundred thousand men would shortly be in arms to
protect France, tut it was evident that there was
much of Gasconade in this assertion, and the inhabi-
tants expressed much dissatisfaction at the present
posture of affairs.

The novelty of the day in point of foreign intelli-
gence is another arrival of Dutch Papers, of the date
of Thursday last. They announce the entrance into
Holland of the advanced guard of the Russian and
Prussian armies, where they have been received
with every demonstration of joy. The Dutch Admi-'
ral of the Texel fleet (Veaneutt.) has refused to sur-
render it to the Provisional Government, but he has,
nevertheless, evinced no feelings of hostility to the
Revolution ; but it is understood that from some no-
tions of etiquette, he withholds the public declara-1
ration of his sentiments until the arrival of the Stadt.
holder. General. WINZINGERODE commands the Al-
liedtroops, which have entered Holland—th‘ey have
advanced along the batiks of the Yssell by Zwell, De.
venter, and Zutphen, and thence marched to Amers-
fort, where they were on the 23d instant. On the
24th, 300 Cossacks entered Amsterdam and joined
the Patriots, in compelling the last remains of the
French who were shut up in the Old Town-house, to
surrender. In the coarse of that day, the Dctch pa-
triotic armies received an accession of ten thousand
volunteers.

On the 22d instant two Patriotic Generals had
fixed their head-quarters at Leyden and Rotterdam,
and afterwards moved out to drive, the French be_
yond the Dutch territories. The National Guards
are now denominated the Orange Guards.

Amid the general joy which the prospect of the
emancipation of their country has excited, the Dutch
in some places have" hollowed before they were out
of the wood." The French Douaniers and the military
in some places have rallied and committed some ex.
cesses, but there is ao chance of their restoration to
authority. In the mean time some degree of alarm
has been excited, as will be seen from the following
letter :

" YARMOUTH, NOVEMBER 2.8,
" This morning came in.. 3 our Harbour six sail of
Dutch schuyts ; they left Scheveling early yesterday
morning : they came to implore a supply of arms,
for which, as well as troops, the Dutch are in abso-
lute want. The rrench have overpowered the Pa-
triots in one or two places, the names of which we
cannot learn, and committed most horrible massacres.
The French, thank Goa! failed in a like attempt at
Amsterdam. The spirit of the People is rising every
where, and they only want the aid of a small mili-
tary force and plenty of arms, to enable them to take
ample vengeance on their oppressors. The most
agonizing anxiety for assistance is felt in every part
where the flame of Patriotism has burst forth,, and
they are living in a state of perpetual apprehension,
which, ere this, by the arrival of our troops, we hope,
is relieved."

A Letter from Harwich, dated the 28th instant,
says—" We have arrivals from, and sailing, for
Holland. Yesterday arrived the New Union, LAN-
cAnta, in ballast, and sailed again to-day with Go-
vernment dispatches. Also arrived the Friendship,
BALLIIR, with cheese, seed, and lihen, from 'ronnin-
gen ; and the Johanna and Maria Elizabeth, fron,
Scheveling.—Arrived to-day two schuyts, with pas-
sengers from Holland.—Three packets remain wind-
bound."
• A letter from Amsterdam, dated Nov. 24., says,
gl Scarcely had the Cossacks entered this city, when
.the enthusiasm for the good cause, which had ani-
mated for a long time the good citizens of this town,
developed itself. Ten thousand citizens have volun-
teered to day Their services to march against the ene-
my, in order to drive them out of their country"

MR, HARRISON', the Secretary to the Treasury,
gave a dinner on Saturday, at his house at Putney,
to Viscount &MOUTH, the CitAtiCZLLOR of the Ex-
CUMULI, and a select party.

BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE.

OIIA/NWI/M

The Mail which arrived from Paiute on Satur-
day, though it has. not confirmed the accounts re-
ceived via Paris, has brought us some Important de-
tails from the Army. Our brave fellows have much
improved their circumstances by forcing the entrench-
ments of St. Jean de Pe, being mow well hutted and
tented, and ready to take advantage of the first fa-
vourable weather. The French peasantry and the
troops of the Allies are on the best tern's, and the
army has an abundant supply of every.necessary.—
We subjoin the most interesting and amusing of the
letters that have reached us t

An Officer of the Light Division writes thus :
" The hill and redoubt left for us in the beginning
of the battle, was carried by our pilau fellows as
quick as lightning, though the French expected us
for three hours. So rapidly did our fellows run at
them, and so irresistable was their attack, that though
the French were posted in fastnesses that appeared
unapproachable, and secured by entrenchments, pa-
rapets, and every thing that art could do, we were in
possession of this formidable place, defended by a
whole brigade, in less 'than half an hour ; and so
quickly did Mounseer scamper off, that he had not
time to take away cr burn his camp : we found tents
more than enough for us all. In the strong fort
which we took next, and about 600 Frenchnien in it,
the Commandant was drunk. All this could not be
obtained with nit some loss. Our gallant General
KEII6iPT is again wounded, at is BARNARD, one of the
ornaments of the English army. General Sir•Jonn
DOWNIE, who was to our left, led on the Spaniards
in a noble stile : he had two horses shot under him,
but himself escaped this time. By his rapid and
masterly movements and coming on the re .0 of the
fort at the time the 52d was advancing in front, the
retreat'of the French was cut off, and they had only
to capitulate."

" CAMPAR THE THIRD DIVFION, (near
the Banks of the Nire,) November 14.

" I idtagine Joh" Bull must be much disaprointed
that he has not had Gazettes Extraordinary, with ac-
counts from us of bloody fights in France : in fact, the
fault is not curs that he had not such three weeks ago.
Though we can fight the French, we cannot fight the
elements. Our brave fellows have been very impatient,
and so really have the Portuguese and Spaniards
Once again an English army is in France : the brave
WELLINGTON is as fairly in possession of a part of it
as ever the •BLACK, PRINCE or HENRY V. WAS ; and he
will soon have the whole of Gascony or thelhew De-
partment of the Pyrennees. You must make him a
Duke for this. The Spanish nation is to make him
Prince of Navarre, and Portugal will greet him Prince
of the Douro. If possible, the last victory, for gal-
lantry, beat all our former great victories. In the
course of one day, the double line of fortifications,
which it took the French engineers so many months
to construct, and which were defended by nearly
70,000 French, men fighting for their country, were
carried by the English under WELLINGTON. In reality,
they made a shamefully bad defence ; it is clear
they were completely cowed on the appearance of red
coats—they fled before they were within musket shot;
and perhaps BONAPARTE and his Generals may not
succeed in making another army face at all.

" The Portuguese did their part to admiration ;
the Spaniards acted very well. One trait in the Eng-
hth is extraordinary, though quite naive: —As the
Marquis had left distinct parts of the performance to
the Spanikh troops, and the English had not so much
to do as on former occasions, in various parts the
English soldiers aetwally stole away and mixed among the
Spaniard:, unknown to their Officers, really leading
them on to the storming, for the extraordinary plea.
sure of killing Frehchmen and encouraging Spaniards.
This is a fact seen by thousands ;--kept back from
striying by their own Officers, the English soldiers
found means to start off and nth among the advance
of the. Spaniards, when they saw them about to
storm works. •

" For a long time back 'the French Government
have been endeavouring to cripple our army, by
offering inducements to the men to desert ; they sent
in the following paper among our men, published in
English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Po-:
lish, and Dutch. This is the English copy verbatim :
6/ ADVICIL—The soldiers of all nations, Frenc'i,'
Italian, German, Polanders, English, Spanish,
11 and Portuguese, who are in the English service,
11 are advised that the deserters coming to the French
44 imperial army, are perfectly will received : they
41 are paid for the arms and the horses they bring
" with them : none of them is obliged to serve : pass-
" ports are delivered to them to return to their native
41 country if they choose, or to go to inner parts of
41 France, where they may freely exercise their pro-
" fessions : they are moreover treated with all sort
41 of regard.—They are also warned, that the whole
" French nation is armed ; and that, in the case the
English, Spanish, and Portuguese armies should
" tread his territory, they would not find any where
" but death and destruction."

" On our entering the villages, we found, to be
sure, most of them deserted ; but finding that we are
not the savage robbers we are reported to be, in a few
days all the inhabitants have found their way back
to their houses, and rendered us all the assistance,
poor people, they could..

66 We found the Prefect of the department had or-
dered every Frenchman to burn his houses sod fields,
and leave the country on our approach; but I believe.
no single instance is seen where this was obeyed.

rooms, and furniture, so unlike Spain anti Portugal,
they remind one of Yorkshire, and comfort and hap.
piness. The inhabitants are just like Frenchmen—all
life and jollity; and seem quite to forget that their

The history of mankind affords no example of an
overthrow so rapid and complete as that which Bo-
NAPARTE has experienced. If he had Any noble qua-
. lity in his nature, so magnificent are the events in the
spectacle of his downfall, that the magnanimity of
mankind would be softened into some degree of com-
passion for the misery which he is suffering; but so
vile are his dispositions, that although we may repre-
sent him as uttering the sentiments which MILTON
has given to Satan, we cannot even feel for him as
we do' for the Devil of the Paradise Lpst." All
BONAPARTE'S qualities were so base and selfish, that
he never awakened any generous emotion. In his
triumphs he was admired ; but it was an admiration
that applied to the events in which he acted, and "not
to the man ; and now, when the stupendous fabric of
aggression—that horrible edifice ! constructed with
crimes, cemented with human blood —is tumbling
around him, and the crash is thundering from the
North, and the South, and the East, and the West :
even now; although all the world is rushing to de-
stroy the Monster in his den, yet such is his innate
vileness that no respect is felt for him, not Withstand.
ing the universal importance which he has acquired.
“ Me miserable! which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath, and infinite despair ?
Which way 1 fig is hell; myself am hell;
And in the lowest deep a lower deep
fitertitreatening to devour me, opens wide,
To which the hell I suffer seems a Heiven.
0 may I not repent? Is there no place
Left for repentance—none for pardon left ?
None left but by sahmissim ; and that word
Disdain forbids me; and my dread of shame
Among the spirits beneath, whom I seduced
With other promises and other vaunts

COURT OF JUSTICIARY, EDINBURGH.
On Monday last came on the trial of Christian Sin-
clair, lately residing t.t St. 01A, county of Orkney,
accused cif murdering, on the 23th of April, 1813, a
female child; about nine months old, the daughter of
Jane Petrie, and the reputed daughter of Thomas
Sinclair, the brother of the prisoner, by forcing ar-
senic down the throat of the child in its mother':,-
. absence.
Jane Petrie, the mother of the child, gave evidence
in substance as follows :—The child was horn in

, of it he wished her to " settle it on other men,"
• which she ref Used t gave her 'is. at one time, 4s. at
another, and_ 2s. a month after tfie birth : she threa-
tened, if he did not give her more, slie,would tell who
was the .ather ;he then give her 4s. Witiiess wrote
to Mr. Yule, minister,* to baptize the Child ; )11., en-
quired the name of the; father ? she told him. it was
• Tlioa:as Sinclair ; this Arm Pit the week before the
Child died ; Sinclair was displeased at his name being
given ; he is a. married m:tn ; knows Christian Sin-
his sister ; she came to her house in August,
13124 the child was then about a month old ;—was
afraid to tell her who was the father ; did not see
her again till the day of ;he child's death, about
- liken o'clock at night; it was the Wednesday; -after
the Monday on which T. Sinclair had. been there.—
* C.Sibelair xat down, there being no othei.person' in
the house ; desired witness to go and get a bottle of

ting in the cradle, playing with a spoon. Witness
. , was cut about three or four minines ; when the re-
' turned, the child, was crying as. if in pain ; ran and
took it up her arms, when it began to retch and
vomit ; for some time neither spoke ; witness then
said, surely you have hurt the child ; but drew in
her words-again, being afraid of the prisoner ;—the
child seemed also to be afraid of her. The prisoner
put ashes on tvhat the child vomited ; her face seemed
•hanged, and her. eyes looked wild After the priso-

'PLUMY , NOVEMBER 26.
The Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors wal
opened this day; but out of fifteen persons who were
*4ered by thetJudge, to be brought up no more than
_four were proent. These were brought up from the
Fleet by hti.,Nixos, keeper of that prison. This Gen-
tleman stated, that he had felt considerable embarrass-
ment as to the manner in which he was to proemd on
this occasion. He wished to obey the orders of, and
pay every possible respect to that Court: but having
entertained great doubts how far he was authorised
by the late Act to suffer any prisoner in his custody
to go 'beyond the .rules of the prison, he had consulted
an eminent Counsel on that point, and, in pursuance
of the advice be received, he thought it advisable to
obtain day-rules (it, being then Term time) for each.
of the persons he had brought up; but that, had it
not been in Term, he should not feel himself autho-
• ised to bring them up without a .Habeas Corftus.
were also expected from the King's Benchp
kPrillevartr-lane, and Newgate; but the only gaoler
Ivipp.attended was Mr. NEWMAN, from the last-men-
tiotied prison, who declined bringing up any of the
persons in his custody without the authority of the
Sherif&
