We yesterday hazarded a conjecture that Bow
mare was making.preparations for a retreat, by his
fortifying the strong places on the Rhine, and Scantly
was the ink dry with which we stated our. opinion,
when it was confirmed by the arrival of Paris Paperi
to the 26th inst. the chief contents of which we cern-
mynicated. To-day we give some further extracts
from these Journals. They afford most ample evi-
dence that BONAPARTE once more finds himself in a
most embarrassing predicament. The defection of:
Austria'has done all this. The French head-quarters '
have been removed from Dresden to Goerlitz, a place
of considerable strength in Upper Lusatia, and about
fifty miles to the eastward of the Saxon capital.
We do not yet know whether to call this movement
a direct retreat, or a mere stew of readiness to meet
the advance of the Allies. The circumstance of the
removal of the Royal Family of Saxony to the for-
tress of Eisenach, which is situated on the direct road
to France, is a proof, however, that Dresden is no
longer considered a place of safety. How miserable
is the lot of the abject Sovereign of Saxony! Thrice
since the commencement of the present year has he
been compelled to fly from his capital, and thrice has
he again exhibited to his indignant subjects the de.
crepid body and slavish countenance of a dependent
upon the Upstart who made him what he is—the
vilest creature that ever disgraced the rank which
PROVIDENCE had assigned him in human society,!--
The daily desertions from the Saxon contingents
will prove that these opinions are not confined to
this country.

The Senate of France has had several extraordi-
nary meetings, no doubt to concert measures for the
prosecution of the arduous contest in which their
Puppet is now engaged. The Empress MARIA
LOUISA has gone to Cherbourg!). During the lest
campaign she executed the functions of a Vice-Ge-
rent, and received her husband's reports of all his
military operatiuns. Has she been deprived of this
office ?

It is admitted that the penis from Vienna and
Prague • are interrupted, ar.d that no accounts had
lately been received of the Congress. In this way
BONAPARTE communicates the declaration of war by
Austria.

The Bavarians, almost the only allies now left to
BONAPARTE, are hastening up with their new levies.
We may venture to predict, that, like the Saxons,
they will by and by desert to a man. The Danish
troops in Holstein are similarly disposed, notwith-
standing their boasted devotion to the French.

A Heligoland Mail arrived last night, and. with
the exception of a Proclamation from Hamburgh,
issued by a Member of the Legion of Honour, by
name Mxtznasut Von Hoomxntv, the intelligence it
brings is gratifying. This worthy General of Divi-
sion, and Aide-de-Camp to the Emperor NApepton,
ordains, among other severities, that Ladies, who
meet in the streets to express their opinions, shall be

EXTRACT OF A LETTRR FROM lIRLIOOLAND, DATED TUE
26th AUGUST.

4, The French conscripts who have joined the army
are the most undisciplined troops at present you can
conceive ; the cavalry are weak, and the horses are '
not able in any degree to stand against a charge.—
Time may improve them, if in the interim they are
enabled to get good quarters without any further
harassing. Reports have been brought here by so
many boats from various quarters on the other side,
that we cannot discredit them, that the Austrians

have joined the Allies with a force of 150,000; the
Prussians have about 160,000 in all ; the Russians
are 220,000 strong ; and England, we are confident,
will not be backward in the general cause. We are
shipping grain in great quantities for England, and
great exertions are making to be first at market, as
we knoy that many vessels are also loading in the
Prussian ports for England. Our Island is at pre-
sent well supplied, and business is on the alert."

We learn from a respectable quarter, that I.ord
Wat.rote, who lately sailed from Leith for the Bal-
tic, is gone upon a most important mission, namely,
to open a negotiation with Messrs. GALLATIN and
BAYARD, for the re-establishment of Peace with the
United States of America.—The American Plenipo-
tentiaries were, we believe, at the Russian head-quar-
ter; when the last accounts came from thence, and
it was known there that Lord WALPOL2 had reached
§t. Petersburgh.
A letter received in Toro this morning from Li-
verpool, mentions, that the Robert Burns cartel sailed
thence on the "9th inst. The only passengers allowed
to go by her are, Mrs. RICHARDSON and family,:
Mr. 4iwa.r.r, and Mr. JEATRY j -the two Gentlemen,
are prisoners of war regularly exchanged. The.
letter says, th 4 the ships papers of the cartel good
Friptds, were taslren ont of her by order of Govern-I
meat, of course she caneft sail without special per-
