A mass of foreign intelligence crowds our columns
of today. The Gottenburgh Mails of yesterday ; and
French Papers to the 11th, received late last night, '
ire the sources from which we have collected our
extracts. We shall begin with the intelligence via
Gottenburgh, .not because it is more important than
the contents of the French Papers, but because it best
agrees with historical accuracy to keep pace as well
as we can with the details of the enemy. Of the ac-
tion of the 16th, noticed in Sir C. STSWART'S dis-
patches, we know little or nothing through the Me-
dium of the French Papers. It was merely said, that
the Einperor had left his entrenched camp at Pirna
on the 15th, and advanced against the enemy, who
had debouched upon Cohn sad Nolleadorf. He
had, however, repulsed than with immense loss, and
returned to Peterswalde, where he slept on the 17tha
He was said to have is shut up the enemy in the pLains
of Toplita" on that occasion.

By Sir C. Srarntrr's Dispatches. it appears that
Otis was another britiaint movement in the rear of
the enemy's position at Dresden, hastened probably
by the intelligence received of the discomfiture 'of
fqzr at Etennevita, and that it was considered of suf.
ilcient importance to call .130autzsitra personally to
the. spot.
But by the inteßigenca from Berlin it appears that

this was not the only ha:rasing movement made by

the Allies, for the Austrian General SCHLUTBIRO
• debonched upon Freyberg at the same instant, forced
the works, and carried all before him. It is true that_
lie also retreated, but this was merely in concert with
the general plan of operations. When we are in-
formed of the activity of the Austrians under Gene-
rals SCHLUTBERGA COLLORRDO, and Panune---and re-
collect that the Austrian army bore the brunt of the

'action before Dresden—that in eight days afterwards
one-half was again: in position—we are also led by
the way to call to mind the malignant pertinacity

French Papers to the llth instant have arrived.
They contain intelligence from Dresden of the 54.1

new event had occurred—the army is described as
being superb, and the strictest discipline is maintained.

Is gaining advantages over the enemy e, there is '
-something of a hull in this statement—for we had just.
'beta informed that " no new events had occurred.".
The call for a new levy, of which the EMPEROR of
Alarm's daughter is made the organ, informs us
of the nature of the events which have occurred.
a-Ttee hawked au 1 eighty !hewed Nue are to be added
to the snake of France, for the vaguely expressed
laapaaa of not permitting Nssot-son " to be agitated,
by sitting on a degraded throne," or " wearing a
Crown without glary." But her Kumar is previ-
ously made to hint obscurely at a projected invasion
of France by the Allies, as one of the exciting causes'
for this immense armament. This is another gross
and palpable falsehriod of the wretches who surround
the Corsican throne. The Allies have been particu-
larly cautious in their proclamations and other public
documents to avoid any construction of this descrip-
tion being put upon their conduct. The French
armies are to be driven back within the Rhine—and
there is even a promise implied, that in the event of
good behaviour on the part of their General, he will.
be 'ermined to enjoy, unmolested, that " fine Coun.
try" which its inhabitants have called upon him to
govern.

This fresh call upon the popqlation of the French
**spire, supposes that the people of France can have
no recollection of past events and declarations. The
avowed object of the Allies is to effect that to which
Nemirow himself stood pledged by his Note to the.
Diet of Ratisbon, on assuming the title of Protector
of the Rhenish Confederation, in which Note he declares
44 that he would sever extend the limits of France beyond
the Matte," and adds, 44 the Emperor is faithful to his
promises." Look at the subsequent conduct of this
man, who cannot bear- the thought of. occupying a
degraded throne, or wearing a crown without glory—
of this Emperor who is ever faithful to his promises!
limits did he -afterwards prescribe to his Ein-
11pVirehf The Saltic 1 the centre of Russia 1 ! We look
not to paper declarations we -look to facts—and
from these it is obvious, that the ambition of this
Scourge of Humanity had no limits short of universal
dominion. His call may •have some charms with
mere Frenchmen; but how will the people of Flan-
ders, of Savoy, Gencia, Tuscany, Rome, the Valais,
Holland, and the Hanse Towns, relish a Wandate
to send their few remaining youths to act as hands of
fratricides. Frenchmen may continue to butcher
their children at the nod of this monster ; but is it
possible that Germans, Italians, Swiss, Batavians,
can willingly minister to a spirit of ambition which
has no limits.—of oppression n hich is,.temorseless—
and a thirst for human blood which is insatiable ?
No, no. Human nature is still the same. The greater
the miseries it is made to endure from uncontronlable
contingencies, the more dreadful the vengeance it
inflicts on the agents and instruments of oppression,
when a change of circumstances invites the assertion
of independence. The fortunes of NAPOLEON have
suffered a reverse which ihreatens his absolute ruin.
Since last year its main supports--the alliance of
Austria and Prussia—the vassalage of Warsaw—the
subjugation of Swedish Pomerania and Mecklenburgh
have not only failed to uphold it, but are converted
into engines for its destruction. Spain and Portugal
are free, and in a threatening attitude. TheHanseatic
Departments, the mock-kingdom of Westphalia, and
great part of Saxony, are the seat of an insurrection
daily extending its circle, and the latest intelligence
from the North gives us hopes, that Bavaria and Wiz.-
temberg will, ere long, desert the standard of the
Qppressor.—Let it be recollected too, that the spread-
ing defection in its numerical effect acts double..
, Every single man added to the ranks of the Allies,
from these oppressed countries, becomes two against
the Tyrant ; for tfiey would otherwise be embodied
in his army.
Will he bring forth his conscription ? He may, but
the morale which in former times insured victory to
his arms is now annihilated. Like the deserting corps
it has gone over to the Allies; nor will this change
be without corresponding fruit. Look at the Penin-
sula! Were the Germans ever so mind-subdued as
the Spaniards ? What may we not expect from them
when roused from involuntary passiveness ? But let
not the Allies despise this effort of the insatiable vil-
lain who seeks their utter annihilation—let them un-
ceasingly bring forward fresh levies ; nor grudge any
sacrifices called for by the common necessity.

44 BERLIN, SEPTEMBER 24.

" We have just received the following Official In-
telligence from the Head-quarters of the Grand
United Army, concerning the victorylt Nollendorf:
BULLETIN.

" Head-quarters at Tapliti, September 19.
" The Emperor Napoleon having united on the
16th instant a greit part of the remains' of the armies
which had been opposed to General Blucher and the
Crown Prince of Sweden, with the Ist, 2d, and 14th
corps de armee, had advanced at .the head of his

guards, towards Nollendorf. The statements of the
prisoners, and more especially the preparations made
by the enemy, left no doubt remaining, that he in-
tended making a serious operation against Bohemia,
tinder the direction of the Emperor in person.
,4 For this purpose, on the 16th, at noon, he caused
a column to file off from Nollendorf. •

41. His Serene Highness the commanding Prince of
Schwartzenburg had given orders, that all the ad-
vanced posts should fall back into the position at
Culm, and there await the enemy. The villages of
Arbesau, Dalisch, Prenitz,anclJohnsdorf, were relin,
quished to him. A lively cannonade commenced.
The corps of the General of Artillery, Count Collo-
redo, and Ideerfeld, defiled by the way of German
Neudorf and Reinitz, on the left flank of the enemy,.
whilst Count Von Wittgenstein caused the Prussians,
under General Von Ziethen, to advance in masses of
infantry on the enemy's front. The enemy chewed
continually more masses of soldiers ; and every thing
for him depended on his gaiaing ground to deboucb.
44 The cavalry of the guards attacked our batteries
with great resolution, whilst the French masses of
infantry kept up a murderous fire on all sides.
66 At this important moment a squadron of Hesse
Homberg hussars, supported by the brave Prussian
cavalry, cut into the enemy's ranks, with the valour
peculiar to themselves. The Austrian infantry fol-
lowed them with the utmost coolness.
“ The enemy was 'every st here forced back and
driven in the greatest disorder into the heights of
Nollendorf. The Yrench General, Kreutzer, seven
pieces of artillery, and a standard, fell into our hands.
The number of prisoners taken, amount to more than,
2000. men. A thick fog and the darkness of thec
night preserved the enemy's columns from unavoida-:
ble destruction.
46 It is said that the Emperor Napoleon was in the
midst of them ; and, according to reports of the psi-
iriners,.he had a horse wounded under him.
Aciording to the French Bulletins, the French
army is victorious, and advancing at all points. The
fact is, that it has for the greater part left the right
bask of the Elbe, sad bas hithatg made sktee Wee-
