forces—that General Roche and his diVision, of 350 b
men, had alone sustained the honour of the Spanish
arms, and arrived at that city with the loss of SOOl
men I and that the regiment of Cueaca had also
acted well.

H Public opinion demands a proMpt and eistoplary
punishment of the authors of all those lossis.—lt de-
mands immediate and large supplies of provisions
for that fortress which is near a siege and the country
open to the enemy."
" CANZ, AUGUST W.
" It is reported that 3oseph has marched for Valen-
cia by Cuenca, and that the Allies having left 6000
men in Madrid, are closely pursuing him.
" In Seville 3000 waggons have been ordered to
be collected. The indications which the French give
of their intention of abandoning the Andalusias, are
_numerous."

The Cadiz Papers contain the Official derails of the
unsuccessful affair of General O'DONNELL. • Our
countryman, General Room with the Spanish troops
under his'command, covered O'DoNNELL's retreat
with great skill and intrepidity. SOULT has made a
requisition for 4000 horses, from Seville, a circum-
stance which may be interpreted into preparations
for a final departure.

REPORTED DEATH OF THE TYRANT.
FRENCH PAPERS TO THE FOURTH INST.
BUT NO BULLETIN !

French Papers to the 4th instant have arrived—
they contain intelligence from the Grand Army in
the North to the 20th ult. stating the occupation of
Smolensko by the French on the 18th, after two af-
fairs which were "brilliant and truly glorious, for the
French arms." On the 19th there was " a still more
fortunate affair," in which 40,900 men were engaged
on each side, and the. Russians were of course de-
feated and driven back four leagues. Amidst all
these details from the army, and they comprehend a
series of actions which would most undoubtedly fur-
nished materials for a most dashing Bulletin, the Pari-
sians have nothing in the shape of an official statement,
nor are they even told as usual that the Emperor
" enjoys the best possible state of health." This
silence of the Moniieur is strange—but not so strange
as the following short statements in the minor French
Journals.—Atter detailing the successes which ended
in the occupation of Smolensk°, we have the following
information :

41 PARIS, Am. 31.—T0-day the Senate had an
extraordinary Meeting, under the presidency of the
Prince Arch Cluncellot."

" PARIS, SEPT. I.—To-day the Senate again
assembled."
" PARIS, SEPT. 2.--The Conservative Senate had
an extraorimary meeting at two o'clock to-day, under
the Presidency of the Prince Arch-Chancellor."
The persons who conveyed the above Journals
from the opposite shores to this Country, knew no-
thing of their contents ; nor, from their humble situ-
ation in life, are they capable of drawing any infer-
ences from the intelligenc of which they were
bearers.—They bring a report, however, which was
in enculation throughout the whole range of French
coast from Ostend toDi.Tp.,,tn the 101 l iwing effect :
" That BONAPARTE, having greatly exposed his
person in the late engagements with the Russians,
had been dreadfully wounded, and was either dead,
or not expected to survive ; and that insurrections of
a most formidable nature had taken place at Paris In

consequence !"
Vie should give the report as we have received it,
unaccompanied by any observations, did not the!
possible results presented by the bare anticipation
of an event so interesting to the whole habitirble globe;
irresistibly demand our exertions to shew the proba-
bilities at least which attend the reports ; and we are
fearless of the charge of being over-sanguine in the
estimation of those who, like ourselves, hold the hap-
piness of their fellow-creatures as dearly as their own
personal welfare.
We think it a fair and legiOsate inference then,
from the complexion of the intelligence just alluded'
to, that some fatal eatastrophe has at length aver.'
taken the execrable monster who has so long waded
onwards to universal dominion through torrents of.
human blood, breathing plague, pestilence, and fa-
mine among all who opposed his murderous career.
