VERONA, NOVEMBER 19.

The enemy having recalled all his detachments,
and collected his principal forces in the position
the Alpon, made an attack this morning on our a,
vanced posts at St. Martin. The first line of our
posts being attacked by a very superior force, fril
back upon the battalions which were in front of St.
Michael. The affair was very warmly contested
about ten o'clock in the morning, between the enemy's
columns, consisting of 12 battalions, and our Avail•
ced guard, composed of six battalions.
A very lively fire continued tilt six in the evening,
but notwithstanding the repealed attacks of the enemy
he could not establish himself in the village of St.
Michael. As often as the enemy approached too rcar
to our battalions they attacked with the pat do oiat se.
The six batialions wbo engaged on this side Wong

A nevi ray of hope bursts upon .us every day—We
haVeanother triumph over Boaaimitta to announce to
our Readers. There 'not n-sons in the French Trea-
sury ; and there is even an implied inability on the
part of the oppressed inhabitants to replenish it
r;lrts Papetrs to the lit instant have reached tit, and
*lifts the stiin and substance of their contents :

A Dec*, issued from the Thuilleries on'the 27th,
setting ut defiance all the fixed and settled rules of
obtaining money resorted to by former.Siatesmen,
boldly reverts to the revolutionary doctrine of Nequiti-
tion:. Those unfortunate individuals who have in their
possession any " Military stores, provisions, forage,
fuel, harness, requisites for the hospitals; horses, or
carriAges"—are instantly to deliver- them to the Pre-
fect. This Gentleman is instructed to pay the holder's
of the numeroue items thus enumerated, by an order
on the Receiver General, who, being also pennyless
places the amount to the credit of the individual, in
abatement of contributions in money which are or-
dered to be levied upon him by a previous clause in
the Decree.

-The system of swindling which has been uniformly
acted upon in every country visited by ?tench
troops since the Revolution, is now visited upon-the
inhabitants of France themselves ! The Decree now
-before us openly adopts the merciless system as one
of the fundamental laws of the French Empire, and

not only are the miserable natives to suffer the reta-
liation of war being waged on their own soil, but they

are to be stripped of their last shilling, merely to gra-
tify the obstinate vanity of BONAPARTI:, who will not
quit his degraded Throne until he is hurled from
it by some sudden visitation of Dtvitzz Venzeance.
—His prineiples are unchanged i adversity has not

humbled him, nor infused the least drop of humanity
into his rancorous heart. He foresees the speedy
dissolution of his whole system ; and before he takes
his departure, like a bad tenant, he defaces, dilapi.
:dates, and unroofs the premises, from which he is
ejected by the sentence of law. He is determined
that his successor, be he who he may; shall have the
glory of rescuing France and her inhabitants from
the abyss of misery.

There ore a variety of other topics in'the French
Journals for increasing our hopes fur the speedy
restoration of Old Times in France as well as else-
where. When we are told, for instance, that BoNA-
PARTE " rode through the streets of Paris, visited tht
wine-market, and conversed familiarly with the citi-
zens," we regard his condescension as a last expiring
effort to retain his popularity with the canaille of Paris.
We •can guess at another recto ► for tuis spewing
himself in public :—he had been missing for seve•
ral days, hatching the infernal code of plunder upon
his own subjects which we have already exposed.—

.
.

There were in the interval—t' all kinds of puns," a;
the 13tilletin issued from the Admiralty. informed

the watchword of u FUIT IMPERATOR" Was rmiived
among the cohorts

pearance in public was therefore considered necessary'
by his Senators, for he is now thepuppet in their, hands
they are now his life.and-fortnne men—they *now
that when he goes all must go with him. They are:
too thorough paled in the revolutionary virtue, by
which they rose to

selves, cannot expect that Men- Should change their

slaves, executioners, assassins, robbers—for of this
vile cOniplexion is the CiArt kalendar of France
composed. ._
The English and the Allies are 'reproached in the
,French Papers with deluging the ,Continent with
.Paper Money. This accusation comes with a bad
grace, truly, after a Decree solemnly announting to
the world, not only that the Fref'sch Treasury is
empty,, but that Public Credit hat been buried in the
same graVe which the Great NAPOLEON has dug for.

Great attention is now paid in the French Journals

the Swiss are to be the Mediators of a Peace with
one or two of the Allied il‘rvers. We do not believe.
it. It is merely a feint, to; keep iliVe the hopes of •
Peace among the Parisians. The funds are thus
kept up to 56.
We refer our Readers to an adthirable Phillipic
lgainst England, in the ifoniteur of the 27th. How,
delightful it must be to the feelings of Englishmen,
to hoar the French nation called upon, the first time
'for these min y centuries, to oppose an Invasion.—;
But the people of France have been told by the Al-
lies that it is not agenst them the Invasion is directed,
but against a gang of robbers and assassins, with BoNa..
PARTE at their head, who have taken refuge in Paris.
-This is precisely what the Ruffian alludes to when
he tells the inhabitants of Frace "not to suffer them-
selves to be Seduced 'by insidions promises, or vain
arid fallacious proclamations I", Well may [he
tremble to hear from the Prefects of Iris Departments
that the discipline of the inv,iding armies conciliates
the affections of the inhabitants wherever they appear
—because they are guided by u the principles of mo-
deration and disinterestednes." This is precisely
the most fortititfable character in the Threats of the
Allies-Lthey frip,httit Bomiranre out of. his senses
When they preach the good old morality of *old times
to the peopleof Fraiice. He has an interest in their
demoralisation—Like the Thief-taker and other neces-
sary appendages of all Governments, he lives by the
trines of his fellOiv creatures !

Yesterday the PRINCE REGENT gave n most splen-
did dinner to the Gentlemen of the Depatation sent
by the Emperor of RESIIA to convey the orders of
Russian Knighthood to his Royal Highness. The
Members of the Deputation were met at the Great
H•tll by the Yeomen of the Guard; the 'pages, and
livery servants, and from thence conducted to the
State.rcorns, where they were received by the PRINCE
REGENT, surrounded by his Royal Brothers, the
Dukes of Your, CLARENCE, KENT, and CANIBILIDGE,
and the principal Ministers and Officers of State.
The PirtNcE's gold and two silver services of plate
were displayed on the occasion. Itt the centre of the
table was a superb temple, in the middle of a circular
plateau, suitable to the form of the table ; it was de-
corated with basso relievos, surmounted by Genii
suppo•. Ling laurel leaves, emblematical of Victory ;
and in the border were portraits of the KING, QUEEN,
and PRINCE RLGENT, patronizing► the Arts. In addi-
tion to the Liverpool service of glass, a new service
was exhibited on this occasion.

ANOTHER LETTER-SAME DATE.
do The report brought two days ago, that Flushing
was in the hands of the Patriots, is most happily con-
armed : a Dutch schuyt, which arrived this day, at
two o'clock, from Scheveling, had ordori to commu-
nicate the fact, of the whole of Zealand being free,
to any British vessel she might meet ; and she did
so, having spoketra British frigat* last night. Nor is
this all—the Briltand Heloeiduys are likewise free ;
the Crirsican banditti *light proper to seek their
safety kri flight the, night before list, so that our'
packets are now at liberty to enter their accustomed
harbour. We are also kd to give implicit credit to
the total overthrow of Davousr, with the loss of
Eighteen ThOusand Men, by Count WALMOUEN ;-
sevenarOfficers had arrived at the Hague, announ-
cing, the fact.
ai, All goes VAgl on in Holland. A large transport
with troops has put into our harbour tkis evening ;

she is froin the River, and said to be bound to Hol-
land ; her name is the Meteor. The King George,
Captain KING, which sailed yesterday for Heligoland,
has ieturned in consequence of easterly wink."

THE ARMY.

Three hundred of the Staffordshire Militia last
Right joined the Coldstream Guards, with a view to
extend their services to any part of Lorope.
The Glamorgan Militia, at present at Hythe, have
volunteered in a body* officers and men, for general
service.
The Kildare, at present in Canterbury, have par-
tially volunteered their services.-
The Western Regiment of Kent Militia, with their
Colonel (DavroN) at its head, have been among the
first to volunteer for general service. •

The Custom-House Guards, under the command
of Lieutenant-Colonel WitAloa,.have volunteered theirl
i.services to Government to do garrison duty at the
Tower, if required.

The Clerkenwell Volunteer Regiment, commanded
by FRANCIS MAGNIACt Esq. and mustering upwards
of SOO members, have made a tender of their ser-
vices to Government.

A company of Royal Artillery, under the com-
mand of Captain Ettto rr, marched in►o Canterbury
on Wednesday, from Eastbourne, where they at pre-
sent remain.

This morning, at five o'clock, his Royal Highnesz.
the Duke of CAMBRIDGE left town, and was accont-
.panied by his Royal Highness the Duke oECLanesce
Count MuNsTen, and a numerous retinue. The Duke
of CLARENCE will only accompany his Royal Brother
to Sheerness.

The harbour of Scheveling, near the Hague, at
which the PRINCE of ORANGE landed, on the Ist inst.
is memorable in history for the embarkation of
CHARLES THE SECOND, when he sailed for England,
for a restoration similar to that fur which his Serene
Highness is gone to Holland.
The name of the Dutch Gentleman, whose arrival
we announced on Wednesday, is Gutcssztivr. Ht•
came from the Hague, charged with a confhlonLial
message to his Serene Highness the Prince of ORANGE
but the Prince had sailed before his arrival. The ar.
rival of his Serene Highness in Holland could not
but excite joy and confidence ; and tend to removt
the disqilieting apprehensions of the Dutch, lest the
French sheo.l4 return again in force before the arrival
of succours from England.
Early on Wednesday morning there was an awf t
and most destructive fire at Glasgow. It broke o t
in the premises occupied ,hy a branch of the 01.
Paisley Bank, opposite the Exchange, and the cones
gration reduced the building to ashes. NVe have no-
learnt how the accident happened k but the bss is
immense.

Tuesday morning, the 16th ultimo,- about font
o'clock, the cotton mill in Eaglesham, of which Mi.
JAMES GILCHRIST is proprietor, was discovered to be
on fire. The flames hroke out in the attic story, ant
it blew hard at the time from the north-west. In thre
hours, the inside of the mill, sviih the machinery, wet.
all reduced to a heap of ruins. Tne water wteela am
a few articles in an adjoining w trehouse, were th
only things saved from the e'....nieut. •

DISPATCHES FROM. HOLLAND.
A Dutch Naval Officer arrived this day at the Ad-
miralty with Dispatches for Government, and they
were instantly forwarded to the Parfet Raster at
Carlton }louse. His Serene Highness the Passes
of ORANGE, accompanied by Lord CLANCARTE, and
their Suites, landed in Holland on Tuesday waning,
and were received with every demmstration of joy.
Ten thousand stand of arms for the Dutch Patriots
were landed at the same time; language cannot de-
scribe the enthusiasm with which his Serene Highness
was received.
The Inhabitants of the Drill declared for the Pantat
of ORANGE the instant of his arrival. The dispatches
were dated on the Ist instant.
The Pi ince of ORANOC issued an animated Prods.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
" The Weser is now totally free. The forts and
batteries of Bremen Lehe (called Gazendorf) and
Blexham have surrendered to the Russians, on
threatening to storm them, and putting every man
Ito death ; this happened on Wednesday and Thurs-
day, the 24th and 25th u!t. The Russians are now
Marching on Cuxhaven, which we expect Gaily to
hear of falling."•

THIRD EDITION.
STAR OFFICE, THREE O'CLOCK.
• DISPATCHES FROM SIR C. STEWART
AND LORD CATHCART.
Mr. Roma, the Messenger, has arrived this in-
stant, in Downing-street, with Dispatches from the
head-quarters of the Allied Sovereigns at Frankfort.
The dispatches are dated on the 17th ult.

They enable ur to contradict the French account
of the capitulation of the French army in Dresden.
They stipulated for a free passage to France, but this
was positively refused to be ratified by the Allied
Sovereign a.
The Danish troops have left Hamburg's and gone
to Altona. The CnowN Nimes, in forcing the pas-
sage of the Elbe to attack Hamburgk, drove in all
t e French advanced posts, and took possession of
cne Fort called the Hope, near Zollenspleicher.
Several parties of Cossacks had crossed the Rriina
,n various places, and had conducted themselves
.vith great moderation and kindness_ to the inhabi-
tants- BONAPARTE% Prefects and Donaliers, an
the Conscrips, were the only sufferers.
