THURSDAY; SEPTEMBER 2, 1813.
Fiat or LONDON.-410lidiy at the Stock &dams

A variety of rumours have been in circulation since
yesterday, said to be founded on letters from the oppo.
site coasts one report stated the Armistice to be pro.
longed, and another gave out that a dreadful battle
had been fought. The latter rumour was founded
upon the arrival from Paris of letters of the 28th, in
Which it was stated, that the accession of Austria to
the cause of the Allies, and the expulsion of the French
armies from Spain, although not officially intimated
to the Parisians, were events which were generally
known, and had excited a considerable degree of per-
turbation. Rumours even of a dreadful defeat in the
North were industriously circulated, and at length
SAVARY, the Minister of Police, found it necessary to
issue the following demi.official notice ; •

" PARIS, AUGUST Slis ISIS.
" The EMPEROR was at Lowenberg on the 21st,
He had completely beaten the Russians and Prussians.
The Prince of the Mostcwa and General LAURISTON
had particularly distinguished themselves in this affair•
The enemy's troops had suffered much, particularly
,the corps of General Lallozam, composed of five
divisions, The operations of the campaign were
developing themselves with great rapidity, and much
to our advantage. It was expected that our trcops
would be in Berlin by the 23d. His Majesty was in
the best health. The Prince of EEKMUtII. had reach-
ed Schwerin.
“ P. S.—The enemy's loss is estimated at 17 or
18,000 men, of whom the Prince of the MosKwA
alone made 2000 prisoners."
Upon the above we have to remark, that so far as
it announces a victory gained by the French, the
statement must be false. The locality of this great
achievement, in which 17 or 18,000 men were put
/eon de combat, is not even mentioned, and we are left
to guess at it. Our Readers will recollect, however,
that on the 16th the head-quarters of the Allied
Armies were at Landeck—now if BONAPARTE was
at Lowenburg, which is not above thirty miles distant•
on the 21st, it is possible that a battle may have been
fought previous to that day, for we were already in.
formed that the Allies were advancing at all points.
We cannot believe that DAVOUST has advanced so
far as Schwerin unopposed by some part of the CROWN
PRINCE'S army. Schwerin is but a short distance
from Rostock and Stralsund, and it might perhaps
have entered into the trince of ECKMUHL'S views to
surprise those places, during the absence of the Cnoww
PRINCE in the vicinity of Berliq. The threat con-
tained in SAVARY'S Bulletin of a match to Berlin on
the 23d, is idle in the extreme—there is no French
army of competent force in that direction.

The Second and Third Bulletins, issued by the I
CROWN PRINCE, which will be found in our columns
of to-day, are calculated to set our minds at rest on
this subject. The former of these contains the Ad-
dress of the CROWN PRINCE to the armies under his
command—it is, in our humble opinion, a master-
piece of political wisdotk and must go much farther
in the estimation of all reasonable men in confirming
their hopes of success to the cause of Europe from
the exertions of the CROWN PRINCE, than any docu-
ment which he has yet published, or any step which
he has taken—,. BONAPARTE cannot live in peace,
unless Europe be his, Slave."`
He has here touched the master-key which ought
to animate every European against the common Ty-
rant. We do, indeed, most cordially agree with high,
that the same spirit which dictated the resistance of
Frenchmen against invasion in 1792, ought now to
go forth with the warriors who are embodied against
the great Disturber. Glorious, indeed, is the pro-
spect now before us—the liberty of Europe—the re-
establishment of its equilibrium—the end of that
convulsive state which 'has had twenty years dura-
tionand, finally, the peace of the world ! May
the sword never be sheathed until these ends are ac-
complished I
It is now understood, that the CROWN PRINCE 01
SWEDEN IS to be Grand Commander and Directnr of
the whole allied force ; and for the purposeof enahling
him to comprehend and guide the whole war, he has
moved his head-quarters from Stralsund to Berlin.
Previous to this removal his Royal Highness, with his
distinguished friend General MOREAU, reviewed the
British regiments sent to garrison Stralsund, with whose
appearance and discipline they expressed themselves
highly satisfied. After the review, the CROWN PRINCE
gave a grand dinner to the principal Officers, at which
the health of Lord WELLINGTON, and the continuance
of the glorious triumphs of the British arms in the Pe-
ninsula, was drank with the most enthusiastic applause,
the CROWN PRINCE and General MonEAu expressing
their ,confidence, that the British hero would yet
achieve glories beyond those already won by him,
and render services still more important to the cause
of nations. It is affirmed with confidence by some
that MOREAU will not take an Actual Command
against the French, but merely aceomitany the OROWN
rOANC; aratripatefriendiand wig him with hit commeli.

CADIZ -MAIL.
•
A Otdiz Mad armed this morning. and although
' the dates of the intelligence brought by it are not re:
gent, the details are, upon the whole, gratifying.--
The Cortes have voted -a pillar to be erected on. the
Plains of Vittoria, in commemoration of Lord WEL-
-1•INCITON'll glorious services. We admire much the
spirited remonstrance of the Spaniards against the
reception of the Pope's Nuncio -into Portugal, and
trust that the Regency will expel this pestilent mem-
ber of society with the same promptitude which
marked the conduct of their Spanish allies.
The Regency Gazette of the 22d July, contains
a Decree, dated July 11, removing Don Pedro L• a.
brador from the office of Secretary of State, and ap-
pointing Don A. C. Manuel ad interim to that station.
The same Paper has another Decree, as follows ;
' •The General and Extraordinary Cortes, "wishing
to transmit to the most distant posterity the merhory
of the glorious Victory which the Allied Army
gained, under the command of the Duke of Ciudad
Rodrigo, on the 21st of last July, over the enemy,
commanded by the intrusive King, -in the fields of
Vittoria, have decreed as follows :•""
• Ist. When circumstances shall admit of it, there
shall be erected, in the situation best calculated for
that purpose in the fields of Vittoria, and in that
manner whiclT Government shall consider most pro-
per, a Monument, which shall record to the latest
I generations this memorable Battle.
4 2d. The Political, Chief, and Provincial Depu-
tations of Alava, shall charge themselves with the exe-
cution of this Monument.'

" CADIZ, JULY 13.

" The Senor'Nuncio has already set out for 'fa-
vira, in Portugal, in a vessel provided by himself.
" CADIZ, JULY 16.
44 A dispatch has arrived from General Elio,
dated the 7th, announcing the liberty of Valencia.
" On the 10th General Lord William Bentinck
entered that capital, amidst the greatest applause,
with all his army ; he adopted the most energetical
measures to maintain order and to be able to success-
fully pursue the enemy. About 2000 Vandals re-
mained in Murviedro, and 800 in Pensicola. Suchet's
head•quarters were in Alma de Chevirt."

1, CADIZ, JULY is.

The proud and now humiliated Suchet is march-
ing towards Tortosa, and it appears that Hatispe,
with another corpi, has taken another road, at the
same time marching towards Linda. According to
information likely to be correct, Clause! will have
effected his junction with Suchet with a considerable
corps, but the first, second, and third armies, the ex.
peditionary army under Lord Bentinck, General Vil-
lacamra's corps, those of the celebrated Mina and
D. Julian, which pursue Clause!, and various Anglo- '
Portuguese divisions which are on the Ebro—all those
corps, whose numbers exceed 60,000 men, are suffi-
cient to more and more humble Suchet's pride.
" It is thought that Catalonia is now about w be-
come the principal theatre cf the war ; to the rapid
and favourable progress of which, the strong places
in that country will offer considerable obstacles. Tor-
tosa, Tarragona, Lerida, Barcelona, Gerona, Hasta-1
rieu, Figueras, and Rosas; are the principal points of
support to the enemy ; which, if they may in part de.
lay the progress of the Allied Armies, will also wea-
ken the enemy's army, which will be obliged to leave
strong garrisons in all those places, if they intend
to defend them all.

" On this head we observe, that individuals expa-
triated from Spain on account of being prejudicial to '
it, take refuge in Portugal : within half a league or
a league of our frontiers, may they not be as preju-
dicial- as among us ? If the Portuguese Government
spews its hospitality by admitting into -its kingdom
those who differ with its ally, Spain—protecting them
although only as fugitive individuals—we believe
that we shall not be able to obtain all the object of
expatriation, and that this must be extended to the
Peninsula, and not to that of Spain alone.

s, We likewise do not doubt that when the Portu-
guese Government is informed that there are certain
persons who are permitted to reside in its States, they
will nut with indifference view this hospitality."

" CADIZ, AUGUST 2S.

ig The anniversary of the famous battle of Arepels
was yesterday celebrated at the English Ambassa-
dor's house, with all the rejoicing and enthusiasm
which the recollection equally memorable as that of
the route of a formidable French army, which caused
not only the liberty of Madrid and Cadiz, but also
that of a great part of the Peninsula, could produce,
and Which was, as one may say, the foundation alone
of that favourable state in which Spain now is."
" JULY 24..—1 t appears that three expeditions are
preparing for the Americans, one for Caraccas of more
than 1000 men, another for Montevideo of about
3000, and the third for Lima of more than 1000.
46 We are assured that Monsieur Gravina, imme•
diately on his arrival at Faro, is going to publish a
Manifesto."

Either Sir HENRY HAISORD Or DT. BAILLIE are in
constant attendance on the KING; and Dr. HEBER,
DEN, in consequence of his constant attendance on his
MAJESTY, has taken a house at Datchett, where his
family reside.
The Messenger, &turn., was last night dispatched
from the Foreign Office, for the Head-quarters of the
Allies, in Germany. A Gentleman belonging to the
Aust►i,;sn Mission accompanies him.
Landeck, where the head-quarters of the Allies
were on the 16th ultimo, is a small town of West
Prussia, in the circle of Hawmerstein, 18 miles S. E.
of New Stet tin. It is much nearenßreslaw and Schweid-
nitz than Lowenberg ; and the Allies, by occupying
its vicinity, were in a condition, if they pleased, to op-
pose lionApAnTz's advance in that direction.

_ .
Lowcuborg, where SAVARY'S Bulletin states BORA•
PARTE to have been on the 21st ult. is situated on the
river Bobr, in the district of Sauer, in Silesia : it con-
tains only 2500 inhabitants, and is sometimes called
Lemberg ; it is about twenty miles S.W. from Leig-
nitz, and is on the direct road to Breslaw and Schweid-
ritz ; in which direction it is probable that BONA-
PARTY would push forward, as their ►ecure occupation
would give him great advantages a% the eenw eviee.
meat of the campaign.

THE ARMY.

The SRA? sloop of war has arrived at Plymouth,
from St. Andero, in eleven days. By her we learn
that Lord Witu.rturron had summoned the garrison
of St. Sebastian's to surrender on the 19th August,
which being refusod by the Governor. the bombard-
ment immediately commenced. The SNAP sailed on
the 19th, so that they cannot speak to any results.
Drafts, to the extent of nearly SOO men. from the
Ist, Coldstream. and Sd Foot Guards, have been
ordered to march immediately to Portsmouth, to em-
bark for the Peninsula.

The two troop, of the 7th Hussars, which were
left it Portsmouth, ere egpected to embark this dar
for Mime.

His Majesty's ship PIMIIROICS is appointed co,vo?
at Portsmouth, for Spain. Portugal, and the

The depots.of the 40th, 76th, and 84th regime-..
of Foot, and of the 19th Light Dragoons, are to Iv!
removed from Ireland to England.
In a previous Paper we stated the distressing intel-
ligenee, announced in one of our letters from the army
in Spain, that Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas
was much indisposed. His ill health, we understand,
has obliged him to give up hii command, and be is
coming home.
To the-number of gallant Officers who have fallen
in the defence of the Peninsula, we have, to add
Captain Woon, of the 48th regiment. The memory
of this enthusiastic and brave rung man will ever
be revered by his brother Officers, among whom he
merited the greatest esteem. Three times he had
been'severely wounded at the head of his Company ;
and in the late action of the Pyrennets he received a
wound in the body, which in a few days proved fatal.
So great has been the dismay among the French
Generals, occasioned by the arrival ot MottrAn in
Europe, that proclamations have actually been issued
to the troops denying the fact, and two French sot•
diers were shot for di inking his health. We think it
highly probable that the desertion ot General JOIIJNI,
alluded to in the CROWN PRINCE'S Bulletin, was occa-
sioned by the intelligence of Motteau's arrival. There
are thousands of French Officers, if not private sol.
diers, now in the field under BONAPARTN, who will
speedily follow JOMINIIS example.
