I.UCERNE, NOVEMBER 26.

Since the defeat sustained by the Austrian army
of General Hillier at Coldiero, it has not ventured to
attempt any thing, and its bead•quarters are at Trent.
The column which it had detached from Roveredo
upon Riva, Ladione and Arefo, in order to penetrate
on the west bank of the Lake of Gard*, towards Bre-
scia, have not been able to make any pmgress. It
has every where found troops ready to engage it,
and which have advanced and repulsed it into the in-
terior of the Tyrol. The entrenchments which Ge.
neral Hillier is raising along his whole line, give rea•
sons to presume, that he intends to remain on the de.
Pensive. The spirit which animates the troops of the
Viceroy's army is very satisfactory. It will soon be
joined by numerous reinforcements, which are march-
ing from different sides.
TOBIN, NOVEMBER 29.

All necessary preparations are made here for the
formation of the camp of 100,000 men, who are to
be assembled here.

The accounts received by the last express from the
Prince Viceroy announce several advantages obtained
over the enemy on the line of Cie Adige and on the
Lower Po.

General Pino entered, on the 49th, into Ferrara,
[from which he has driven the enemy, who has. retired
precipitately towards Volano, with the design, it is
supposed, of re-embarking. He was briskly pursued.
EX fRACT OF A LETTER FROM CADIZ—NOV. 20.

".A detachment of the Army of Andalusia, con-
sisting of about 5000 men, arrived here yesterday.
This force has been judged sufficient to keep in check
the populace, who, since the late events, can no longer
endure the-sight of the English. The Officer com-
manding the detachment is Don Pedro D'Aguilar, an
old officer of rank, who has served under B.sllasteros.
a' This latter is still confined in the Cierms of
Ceuta, where he atones for the creme of having re-
fused to acknowledge Lord Wellington as supreme
head.

66 Ballasteros is a true Spaniard, who has shown a
decisiveness of character, and who has still numerous
• friends in Spain, particularly in the Castilles, and in
Andalusia. A letter is circulated among tire public,
from this General, to the President of the Cortes,
which has made a great impression on people's minds,
and in which is the following passage :
" ' After having served the common cause with
some success, I am deprived of my liberty, and yet I
cannot be charged but with having refused to dis-
grace the Spanish character, and not having chosen
to submit to the humiliating orders of anEnglish-
man. Shall Spain be like Portugal, only an English
colony ? I have too good an opinion of my country-
men, to conceive that they can thus sacrifice their
honour and their independence, and submit to the
yoke which England desires to impose on them.'
66 They say that it is intended to send General
Ballasteros to London."
CONSTANTINOPLE, NOVEMBER 1.
The Queen of Sicily, who was obliged to fly from
her dominions, to withdraw from the tyranny of the
English, remained forty-three days in this capital,
under the name of the Countess of Castellamare.—
She departed the 25th of last Month for Odessa : the
wind was very favourable. During the stay of the
Princess, the Grand Seignior and the Ottoman Mi-
nistry did not cease to give her every m Irk ot respect.
The Sultan being informed that this Pnneess desired
to be a spectator of the solemnities ot the feast By-
. ram, ordered by special Hatticherit the house nearest
' the Grand Mosque to be put at th., disposal of her
Majesty and her suite. A Capedge Paclia, at the
head of a numerous guard ot how .nr, received the
Queen at Vesir-Isicellessi, whither her M r, •
paired in the grand barge of the Austrian
:
gilded sedan chair was waiting there for ocr
—The Janissaries attached to the 1.g.it.,19 pieLeded
the retinue of the Queen ; she was co. diict::d Sack
with the same ceremonies. At the eve ot her depar-
ture, the Grand Seignior caused to be offered to her
by two great officers or the Seraglio, among other
presents, a medallion rici.ly set with brilliants, and
ornamented with the tougra, or cypher ot his Highness.
The Queen, who, in the midst of adversity, retails
! all the vivacity of her mind, said frequently to the
persons who had the honour of being admitted
presence, that she found the Turks much more ant:-
1 able than the English, and that it was a sight worthy
of being remarked in history, that a Christian
cess, exiled by Lord Bentinck, should find an hospi-
!, table asylum with Sultan Mahmoud.

The tVench Government is rapidly falling to
Picea—we aik no better evidence than the Puis
Papers to the Bth inst. which we now lay before our
Readers. Sunday, the sth December, was the anal.
telisary of the coronation of the Mock Emperor of
the French-;-it was ushered in by the firing of guns,
celebrated by a grand Mass and le Deum, a Tragedy
at the Court Theatre, and an illumination of the City
ktid Palace ! Next day there appeared iA the Mosiittur
Ititid of Epilogue td this bustling Drama, in which
e Frenkh people are informed, " that it is a gteat
bleAlog to live under a Government whose . stability
secures tor ever the rights and properties of the cid-
tens"--ancl under the mild sway of BONAPARTE " the
laws kiave accinited an Authority which can no longer
be shakin by the of A faction !" True !—the
Code NAPossem, with all iu appendages of mftioist,
miaow, and one: damaler;=the three honourable gra-
dations of Police Officers in trance, aided by the
gem d',Smfte:, has iotiferred this inestiiimble blessing
upon all Frenchmen.
Never was there a pinegYrie upon despotim couched
in More concise terms—MAcmAviz himself never
il-
lestrated his positions in his grinding syitein so hap-
pily', as the Gazetie-*riter to the Court of St. Cfclud.
Of what stuff and substance, for instance, must those
intelleits be composed, which can digest the fol-
lowing aphoiism the happiness of trance," is
prodOced, because " the will of individuals, the col.
lision of which causes so many evils, are subordinate
to one Supreme Will, of which the law is but the ex-

country, and their shadow are only to be found in
the Code NAPOLEON. How can the " tights and pro-
perties of the Citizens be secured for ever," when
they are expressly ts subordinate to one supreme will ?"
Such fooleries were never uttered out of the purlieus
of Bedlam.

is ciuite hattiral that Men who acknowledge that
their lives and fortunes are subordinate to the will
of one individual, should serve him, but it artist be
through tetivi, and not toot or reverence. The for-
mer is the great secret by Which BONAPARTE has
intlight together se many armies—it is the talisman
ichich the Allies must put-into the crucible, if they
wish Co succeed against him.
On the side of Switzerland, the French are, evi-
dently alarnied i they have reason—Prince SertivsRT-
ZENIERG is moving upon them in great forte in that
direction.
Of Holland the Parisians know nothing through
the medium of their Journals. How puzzling to
those who have been kept in ignorance of recent
events, it the following notification flom the Tezel

conds the operations of the other French Generals."

AS such by his Masters and no Slight evidence it is of
his guilt.

mates the VlceßoY's troops is go very satisfactory ;"
that is to say, some symptoms of disaffection to the
King with the Iron Crown had been manifested, but
the VICEROY has suppressed them for the present.
There is some chance that BONAPARTE rhay still
recover himself ; for the is Grand Rabbi of the Jews
u France" calls him is an augdst Stiwereign, and the
best of Monarchs." We have not been gratified with
such expressions for a law time : Messieurs the Pre-
fects of the Departments have not said any thing so
line of late.

A moving picture is drawn in the MonLieurof the
unhappy condition of the Ex-Queen of Swum " a
Christian Princess" finding an asylum no where but
in Turkey, is a most shocking scene—almost as had,
" good man delver," as BONAPARTE turning Mus-

But it is not from Paris Papers that we can learn
any thing respecting the real state of France : from
private sources we know that the Conscripts are every
where arming and embodying to repel the efforts of
:he gen: d'artne: to drag them by force to the depots!
The following letter from Guernsey is upon this
subject :

• " GUERNSEY, DECEMBER 7.

" A !lensed vessel has kris arrived from Granville, (Lower
urntantly) which has been detained by ono of our ships of war:

t kee *tette Masker who is ati latellientems, and he usual:
Meilift the diiiiitisfagiSit In Dribty, and that in tVII,
of the departminta of that Province, uninccemitd attempts have
been trade to ciitt7 the conicription into etteet, tut that tie Go-
vernment at Pails is in no condition to enforie obedieside."
In addition we have information 'from krenth
Flanders, that in. the ci&deVant Dutch and Austrian
Netherlandr, they have not been able -to ptit in exe-
cution th'e law of conseriPtion, and that in conse-
quence it has remained a dead letter with respect to
that part of the country. It is also a fact, that the
new duties on salt, and those in the nature of a
house tax and property tax, have not been extended..
to Flanders. **i

Not only have BONAPARTE'S proposals been re-
jected for surrendering the fortresses on the Elbe,
Oder, and Vistula, but the Allies have subeequintly
retiised to consent to an Armistice with a view to
ulterior operations. The campaign will of Course
be immediately laid in France, and there are to be
no winter quarters. The Allies are entering Fiance
in all directibns, and the following is an outline Of
their plan of operations as circulated at Frankfort.
. •
The army under the command of the CROWN
PRINCE of Swanzo will enter France by Cologne,
and advance through the Pays Bas, 13%1)00 men are
destined for this service. This will of course be an
effectual barrier between France and Holland.

Marshal &mile is to cross at Coblentz (i. e. the
point nearest Paris) at the head of 115,000 men, and
will open a communicitibn with the CROWN Plume's
Army.

Prince SCIIWARTZEW3BRO, with what is termed the
Grand Army, composed of Russians and Austrians,
will enter France through Switzetland. His force is
estimated at 205,000 men. Part of this large army
has already filed off in the direction of Basle and
Frey berg.

Towards Italy, General BtLLEOARDZ hat been dis-
patched with 60,000 men ; -but it is conjectured that
their services will not long be wanted. MURAT is
said to have more than once offered terms ; and it is
now tolerably well known that he hates BONAPARTE.
BEAUHARNOIN, the Viceroy, has neither men nor
Money=at least, so say the Frankfort diplomatists.

Another army, 60,000 strong, will enter France
through Piedmont, and open a communication with
Lord WkLLINGTON, whose army may be now estima-
ted at 120,000 men.

Thtre will be a force, therefore, in the field against
BONAPAATE and his Government, of at least Eight
Hundred Thousand men !
The CROWN PluNcE of Sweden has addressed alio-
thee most eloquent letter to tONAPAiTA on the sub;
;Dot

ce of the recent libels in the French Papers, upon
the character of his Royal Highness. The letter
question is dated from Leipsic, and is chiefly an
answer to a laboured article which appeared in the
Moniteur, of 14th October last, and in the STAR 01.
the 23d of the same month.
The Cnowti PRINCE, in his answer, reproaches
BONAPARTE with the basest ingratitude : he reminds
him, that when Minister at War he saved his life :
`on his return from Egypt, the Directory ordered the
CROWN PRINCE (then General BERNADOTTE) to arrest
the fugitive General, and to try him by a military
tribunal.—This order BERNADOTTE declined to eze.
cute, and apprized BONAPARTE of his danger, gene.
roiisly supposing that imp►rious circumstances, and
not any want of skill or courage, prevented the suc.
cess of the expedition to Egypt: Want of room
prevents us from giving this interesting document at
length in our columns of to-day.

Sit vessels have nr:ivc..l tom Carlscrona, which
were off Malmoe on the 3:1 ii.stant. Although they
were without convoy, and were under the necessity
of anchoring a whole night in the :;ourd, they were
neither molested by the Danish gurAyati: nor from
the batteries of Elsincur. A Swedish fripte was at
Carlscrona, wailing to convoy two vessi.l) laden with
presents from the Court of Stockholm to the Dey
of Algiers.

Yesterday, at two o'clock, the Panics Room.
held a Levee at Carlton-Howse, which was nume-
rously attended. A great number of Addresses were
presented. His Royal Highness afterwards gave au-
diences to Lords CASTLEREAGH, SIDMOLITH, and
BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, and Mr. PIEnREPONT. The lat-
ter delivered to his Royal Highness the Order of the
Bath, and the Ribbon, belonging to the late Sir
WILLIAM MEADOWS. The Sheriffs of London had ,
also an audience of his Royal Highness, to know
when he would be pleased to receive the Address of
the City, when the Prince was pleased to appoint
next Monday.
The PRINCE REGENT, in Council, has appointed a
day of General Thanksgiving for the late numerous
and splendid victories of the allied armies, to take place
on Thursday, the 13th day of next month- (January).
The Catholic Board have renewed their applica-
tion to Mr. GRATTAN and the Earl of DONOUOII-
- earnestly soliciting a consultation with these
personages, upon the points of discussion connected
with the Bill to be laid before Parliament for the re-
lief of the Catholics of Ireland. At the same time
that the Board urge this solicitation, they disavow
any thing like dictation upon the subject at issue.
Mr. (now Sir GEORGE) BUROMAN is appointed to
the superintendance of the Prussian and German sub-
sidies, and will, in consequence, soon take his depar-
ture for the Continent. •

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East-India House, when Captain C. BARNARD was
sworn into the command of the ship Wexford, con-

EMBARKATION TOR HOLLAND.
_ . .

" CANTERBURY, DECtIWBER
~4" The enibirkation of the m opsdestinedfor Hol-
land from this part of the coast, has at length com-
menced. Several men of war, fitted for troop-ship's,
having reached the Downs, the 35th, 5?..1, and 95ch
regiments wetc-ordered front Ramsgate tb Deal, and
immediately on their arriiral there yesterday aftei--
neon, were conveyed by the Deal Boatmen, whose
voluntary tender of their services for that purpole is
so highly to their credit, on board the Dtcrassost, RE-
GULUS, and BRUNE.

Two Companies of the Rol Artillery, with a
detachment of the Royal Artillery Drivers, forming
part of that arm of war destined for service in Hol-
land, marched from this city yesterday morning un-
der the command of Major HAWKER, for Deal to be
embarked on beard the ships of war in the Downs.
«A detachment of the Royal WaggonTrain, com-
manded by Captain TURNER, have proceeded also to
Deal. for the same purpose and service.

" Lieut.-General Sir THOMAS GRAHAM reached
Canterbury on Wednesday afternoon, and partook of
a dinner at the Fountain Inn with the Earl of Ross.
LYN: Early yesterday morning Sir Tnoscats left Can-
terbury for Ramsgate."
44 DOVER, DECEMBER 10.
ce the wind has blofrn exceeding bard from the
E.N.E. all day, and many vessels have taken shelter
in our harbour this afternoon—among them the Deal
Lighter, and a light collier, on board of which were
embarked, last night, at Ramsgate, about 200 inen
belonging to the 44th itegiment, for the purpose of
being put on board the men of war in the Downs,
but, owing to the violence of the wind, the vessels
were obliged to run tb leeward, and put into this har-
bour : the men have been landed for the night, and
will be re-embarked to•morrow, if Moderate, for the
Downs."

64 YARMOUTH, DECEMBER
14 Sailed the ARIEL, THRASHER, CHEERFUL, and
BRITISH FAIR, with a fleet of transports with troops,
under the command of Major General GIBBS, for
Holland ; but the wind being adverse, the whole were
obliged to return to the Roads, where they now
remain."

A very large quantity of ordnance stores were
shipped from Chatham for Holland, during the last
week, including nearly 10,000 stand of small arms.
Thursday a detachment of the Royal Artillery,
under the command of Major FAYERS, marched from
Ipswich garrison to Harwich, there to embark for
Holland. Same day about 70 rank and file of the
33d Foot arrived at Ipswich on their route to Har-
ivich, from whence they will sail to join their regi-
ment, ;ow on board transports, bound to Holland.

The Hereditary PRINCE of ORANGE laiuled at Ply-
mouth on Thursday, from the l'yreneess. He was
received with appropriate marks of distinction, and
immediately set off for London, on his way to join
his august Parent in Holland.

We understand that the Regiment, of which the
Hereditary PRINCE of ORANGE IS to receivethe com-
mand, is the sth Royal Irish Dragoons.
The Dutch prisoners of war lately confined on
board the prison ships at Chatham, to the number of
Upwards of 200, were last week liberated and sent to
assist the Patriots.

A letter from Harwich, dated December 10, says,
44 A schuyt has arrived from Holland this morning,
with a number of passengers, but she does not bring '
news of much interest; there have not been more
than 1600 English troops yet landed on the other
side, and they are reported to have advanced to assist
in the reduction of the Helder ; VERMEUIL still obsti-
nately refusing to surrender. One of the young Princes
of ORANGE had arrived at the other side, and pro-
ceeded to join his father."
A private letter from Frankfort, dated 27th No-
vember, gives the following animating picture of the
spirit of the Allies, and of the deplorable condition of
the French armies during their retreat from Leipsic
gg if you were a witness 'to the energy with which '
this war is carrying on, you would be most confident
as to the result ; and, indeed, were not the numerical
superiority so immense as it really is, there would be
every thing to expect from the hatred which is here
universally prevalent against the French. Indeed, the
cruelties which they every where inflict on the miser-
able inhabitants, would move the most unfeeling
heart ; nothing could be more horrible than the whole
scene which presented itself to us all the way from
Leipsic hither ; hardly a village remained unburnt
or unpillaged.
By way of amusing ourselves the other day, we
went to visit the advanced posts, which are close to
Hockheim. On the hill the Russians had established
their bivouacques ; in the valley were the advanced
posts, about an English mile from the town of May-
ence, and 20 yards from the advanced sentries of the
French. The taking of Hockheim a few days before
we arrived here wls one of the most interesting sights
ever seen ; it was effected by the Austrians, who be-
haved most gallantly ; but in one part of the engage.
ment they got to the brow of the hill, from whence
they had their first view of the Rhine ; they instantly
halted, net a gun was fired, not a voice beard ; they
stood motionless for two minutes, contemplating that
magnificent river, when Schwartzenberg riding up to
know the *cause of the sudden stop, they all gave
three cheers, and rushed in pursuit of the enemy with
an impetuosity that nothing could resist, and in fact
chaced them into the very water. Nothing can be
compared to this sort of sudden general tribute, un-
less perhaps the feelings of the ten thousand Greeks
on their retreat, when they first came in sight of the
Sea."
Wednesday se'nnight, as the Lady of the late
Major John Marriott, of Finchingfield, Essex, was in
her parlour, her clothes by some means caught fire,
and before assistance could be had, she was so much
burned, that she lingered till Wednesday last, when
she expired.
