From Bayonne, in an article dated December 19th,
'we-Ilan:4 that no military event bad taken place for
son* days in bias wegneurhood. It is the 25th of the

same month befole this intelligence is allowed to bel
published,. or. rather before it reacbe Paris. . TOe
fact is, that the Intelligence received-by.tho way bei

only by accident and at great hazard that any infor-
. Mallon can reack Bourdeaux. e From the latter place
, repo, have been received of subsequent disasters
:-frivinghtfillen Soma's army, and these reports we
gava.to the Public in a Second Edition- yesterday..
In substance they stated, that after a series of actions
the French General had been completely defeated,
and had lek the field attended by his Staff only.—
We see nothing in the confused statements in the
' French Papers toathrow the least/shadow of doubt on
these gratifying reports. /f his Highness of DAL.
MATIA had gained such signal advantages, Wherefore
does he not send the official details ? Are the siz
lines, above alluded to, to be considered as the only
accounts which it is convenient to publish ?

The French• Senators proceed most slowly, be• I
cause most unwillingly, to the work of Pacification
they are in the predicament of certain persons 4, with
whore time gallops withal!" They are on the hi b
road to the place of execution, and they know it. 1
Deiember 24, and not sooner, they prepose to take into
consideration the Papers relative to the Negociation,
which, according to the declaration of the Ist inst.
issued by the Allies, Latl.terminated. The meeting
is subsequently put off to the 27th. In the mean
time, Boturaserx continues to review his troops, and
appoints an audience with the Minister of War for the
Bth `of January, when he doubtless expects to be able
to delude the French people, and to terrify the Al-
' lies by a most tremendous explosion. The Minister
of War will of course report that the French are every
I where triog to arms with shouts of Vive PBmltorear!
Nothing but fables arc related to the French people
fro* the Northern frontiers. The French army at
Antwerp is advancing upon Breda, to retake it, we
suppose, although no reason is assigned for such a
movement. All is tranquil on the Rhine, the coa-
lesced Powers having discovered the impossibility of
making the least attack.
The Luke of TAHENTUM seems to be the only
french Marshal able to make head against tke

lies. He is destined to re-conquer Holland, and we
congratulate him on his appointment. He will re-
turn faster than he came.—ln Italy the French troops
are•of course so triumphant, that the Austrians do
not think it prudent to attack them.

Lord CASTLEREAGH hid not arrived at Harwich
when the post came away yesterday. His domestics
oiband suite who preceded him were there. The Ens-
4iJus sloop of war was off Harwich waiting for theft,
but the fog rendered every object invisible at the dis-
tance of a tew paces.
