The obtlinacy with which fome journalifis perfe-
vered in endeavouring to perfuade the I'ublic that no
Armiflice had taken Ace, and, when that could no
longer be denied, that the terms were very different
from what had been Rated, and murk more favour-
able to the Allies, will ►e long remembered by every
man who knows the increafed danger to which the
people are expofed by being kept ignorant of the
true Rate of things. The difpnted fa& is now indu-
bitably afcertaincd, Minißers having by the Main-
gers, who arrived on Saturday evening, received a
Copy of the Armillice.
That the Ruffians are retreating is alfo afcertained.
Mr. KERR, the Courier from Conftantinople, accom-
panied them three days on their march. Ruffian Of-

their lots in killed alone was immenfe—but that the
French ali fullained conliderable lots.

It is reported that the Emperor ALEXANDIIII is Bill

Archduke CH•IILiS had refuted to abide by the Ar-
miniee—that he had arrived within four polls of Vi-
enna at the head of so,ocro men—that a feparate
treaty of Peace may perhaps be 11111 prevented ! ! !

The CONITANCI frigate was to fail from Lißion
the day after the WaHingham came away, with a
convoy for England. The Oporto vac's were lying
at Belem, ready to join the convoy. La POMoNI
had failed, to wait off the bar for the coming out of
the French frigate Topaze, which was quite ready
for lea. It is underflood at Liason, that a tacit
challenge has been given and accepted by the two
frigates. The Topaze is fnperior to the POllOlll in
faze, guns, and number of men.

Numerous parties continue daily going on board

We hear from Spain, that the Royal Paper has
lately experienced a zife of nine per cent. in conic.

RITLACT or a LETTER FROM A COLOWIL IN THE aus-

SIAN [WKS, Wald) U, DSC. 17.
" Intlead of being at this time, as we waled, in
Bavaria or Franconia, on our way towards France,
our army is now on its return to Ruffin.
tt What errors have I not witneffed I what horrors
have I not Peen! what mifery have I not endured
within chefe lall four weeks! Our march was forced,
our provifions (Canty, our troops haraffed, and every
loyal man dreaded, with me, real wants ; while the
imaginary evils, which the fecret agents of Bonaparte
and Talleyrand took care to infinuate every where,
alarmed the weak, and encouraged the difcontented
and the ditiffefled. M regiment joined Ara, on
the asth oh. the army headed by our magnanimous
Sovereign.
‘4 Were I to judge from appearance.* we Ihould
have been invincible. But of what ufe are innate bra.
very and natural flrength, when oppofed to the im-
proved art cf war, and the art and cunning of mili.
tary intriguers ? I fear that we were fold, or dellined
by an infamous foe for defiruilion before the battle
began. You have Peen from the public prints the
particulars of the battle of the ad inft. I mull, how.
ever, add, that had not craft got the better of valour,
we ihould have been vietorkus, and Europe raved ;
ambufcades, mafked batteries, caufed confufion, but
no dilaflers, until Bonaparte's political incendiaries,
in the regimentals of officers, announced a pretended
capitulation, and difarmed, by treachery, twelve
thoufand of our troops, whom he otherwife would
have been usable to conquer.
On the 3el inft. I had, in the prefenee of many
of my comrades in arms, a converfation with 80.
naparte's General and Aid de-Camp Savary, for
near a quarter of an hour before he was admitted in.
to the prefence of my Sovereign. His language was
not only prefumptuous but impudent and indiferett.
He (aid, among other things, that Bonaparte from
pure generofity, intended to make Louis XVIII. a
King of Poland, fuch as that State was before 1794,
and that if Ruffiadid not reflore the provinces obtain-
ed by the lafi partition, the united arms of France and
Anfiria would force ber. As to Praia, Bonaparte
would indemnify her with Hanover and the Halite?,
atic cities, for her Ihare obtained in 1794,01 the fpoas
of Poland.
" I am lorry to fay, that our good, our brave, and
our philanthropic, Alexander, has, ever fince Iva
began our retreat, (hewn himfelf much dejeeed ; a'
fituation of mind not oceafioned from fear of his mike
Sore ioty being endangered, but from the wretch-
ed Inuation of Europe.
P. S. " I have jut* heard, from tolerable good
autht.rity, that Bonaparte intends lhortly to an
England a
_frond Edifies of the pace of Amiens."
