A Lisbon Mail arrived this morning, with letters
and papers to the 4th instant, bat they bring ifto news.
The accounts from Head-quarters, received at Lii-
bon, continued to state, that Lord Wita.tinivii in-
tended to advance into France.
At a late hour yesterday afternoon, the Ports-
mouth Telegraph announced the arrival of hit: Ma-
jesty's ship DICTATOR, from Passages, which port
she left on the 10th instant, with intelligence that
Lord WeLLINGTON hid driven the French from their
positions, and had advanced into France:
On the ,th instant, his Lordship, with the Ist and
Bth division,. crossed the Bidassoa, at Iran, in front
of... Bayonne, and attacked and carried in a gallant
• banner the trench Elie, killing al out 100, ind
taking goo prisoners..
Hii Lordship afterwards occupied the Ifne with his
army. The British loss Vta..4
.about 200 killed and
wounded. No Officer ell. The British positions are
now between three and four leagues froM Bayonne,
between the Bidaisoa and the Nivelle:

A movement of this kind, which we were prepired
to etpect by all the late acCelints, cannot but add to
the perplexity and distraction of the French councils.
All the intelligence froM the North Of Eutope tends
io prove, that froni the defence of that frontier no
force can be spared for the protection Of the Sotith.
:---the tyrant is now closely pressed on every side.
2nd the Allies, with a anitY of action which does Cre,
dit to their Councils, give bite not a moment's rest.

In *Pat an eleirated situation does the preient posture
Of Europe place the character cf this country and
those *rho guide her affairs. But for the unbroken
apiiit of Britain; but for the magnanimity she has
displayed to the oppressed nations of the Continent,
Europe must still hart lain prostrate at the feet of
the merciless tyrant who now writhet with the agony
Smelted bt autceisful resistance.

1••••••11,

Some farther eitracts from the French Papers rfb-
iiced yesterday are given in otir colututs of to-day.
Front Dresden they communicate nothing new, but
from the seat of the campaign in Italy we have Intel-
ligente tb the 30th nit: The scene is laid in the vici-
riity f Which Plate, according to brines ac.
Counts, was triumphantly entered by General Aunt-
the Austrians, and, if we mistake not, the
English also (for we bad a tonal' flotilla off that
port), having evacuated it ht the approach of the
"Frenth. The aceotint is very confused, bit we can
' easily see that the French have been again driven
froth Fiume. AdlersbUrg, to which Pitostani
jUtitfed It proper to withdraw," is 15 or '2O Matt
2North from Trieste, which the trench *till retain—
but Gotschee, which the Austtigns occupy in force, is
stoiit the Slime diitinCe North from Fiume. Now, if
the head-quarters of Beau/ma/ion are really at
Laybach, the Austrians at Gotschee are interposed
between him and PAL ottetni, and are thus enabled
tb thrtaten, if ik4 do not already occupy, Trieste is
*ell as Fiume. Taking into consideration the irn:
portance of these harbours to Austria at the present
crisis, we must suppose that General HILLIXR, who
opposed to 13EAutinaziots, is insirdcted to make a
most desperate effort to recover the &orate for the
House bf Austria. The eihausted finances of the
Vienna TreasUry will thus be effectually recruited
from the revival of commerce, which must itriinedi-
ately follow the recovery of Trieste and Fiume.
A Frankfort article informs us that the reserves
are rapidly coming up from the FrenCh frontiers to-
wards Saxohy. This is, of course, with a view to
force the communications with Dresden,

"To rts it does appear surprising, at a moment like
The present, when the sense of oppression and injuries
has roused the nations of Europe to attempt the re-
covery of their independence, that any should be
found in this country who should question the pru-
dence of our exertions in the common cause, from
considerations of mere economy. The pecuniary ex-
pense of war is a great evil. To affirm this is, however,
a mere truism. The question of policy is simply this:
Which is the greatet evil—that a Nation should ex-
pend money in defence of its-property; its rights, its
security and independence ; or preserve its treasure to
be wrung from it afterwards in the shape of requisi-
tion: by kf, unprincipled conqueror. The nations of
Europe have no alternative but resistance at whatever
•pease—or subjugation, and complete tobbery. Can
men be said to preserve their property who only re
serve it to become a prey ? What would we think of
the landholder who would save the expense of repair-
ing the dikes which protect his lands against the en-
,..roachments of the ocean ? And shall we cease to
resist the flood of modern barbarians which has ham-
dated Europe, because forsooth the resistance may
occasion expense.
