FRiNCH PAPERS.

PARIS, SEPTEMBER ta.
They talk of fresh advantages obtained by the
Grand Army, commanded by his Majesty the Em-
' peror.
Sem 12.—Private letters from Dresden, dated the
7th September, state, that the Emperor returned to
that capital the preceding evening In good health.—
He pursued and drove the enemy ‘o the, other %14e of
the Neiss, who as soon as he perceived with whom he
had to do, precipitately fled m all directions.
The Duke of Tarente remains in a good position,
and in sufficient force to make head against the ene-
my, should he rally. All the details contained in
these letters are very satisfactory.
The Austrian army was not re-organized, and con.
sequently did not think of acting.

' The
_Copenhagen Official Gazette contains the
Danish Declarauon of War against Sweden, dated
to-day, 3d September. It states in substance as
follows ;
44' After the Peace concluded at Joenkoeping, be-
tween Denmark and Sweden, the King of Denmark
instantly applied himself to maintain the good intelli-
gence re-established between the two Powers. How.
ever, since that epoch the Swedish coast near the
Cattegat has not ceased serving as a station for the
enemy's cruisers, notwithstanding the engagements
entered into in the sabre Treaty, to protect Danish
vessels on her coasts. The subsequent state of war
between Sweden and England would, it is true, cause
seine change in this order of things; but Pease being
afterwards established between the twe Governments,
it was no longer npon the coast near the Cattegat;
but upon all the Swedish coasts that Danish naviga-
tion has. been interrupted.
" -It was stipulated in the Treaty of Joenkoeping,
that the sequestration should be taken off Danish
'property in Sweden ; and nevertheless, this clause
has nor been executed on the part of the Swedish Go-
vernment, under the most frivolous pretexts.
66 At the beginning of last year, a treaty of alli-
ance iisas concluded between the Courts of Stock-
holm and ofSt. Petershurgh, and again confirmed at
Abo. Russia then promised her assistance for the
execution of the plan already conceived by Sweden
for taking possession of Norway. With the same
view an allianie was concluded between Sweden and
Great Britain. Since this epoch, Sweden no longer
keeping any 'appearance with Denmark, took mea-
sures manifestly hostile she emPloyed treachery and
perfidy to turn the Norwegian subjects from the obe7
dieace they owed to their legitimate Sovereign ; Nor-
way was inundated with seditious Proclamations.
4f At the same time a considerable number of Da-
nish vessels, laden with grain for proviikining Nor-
way, either by Gnvernment or difl'erent
were held in Swedish ports, where they sought an
sylum' either against tempests or the enemy's cruisers.
All Complaints against the measures, the consequence
°ruble)) were so fatal to the inhabitants of Norway,
vim without effect.
a It was only answered thatthe exportation was for-
bidden in Sweden, a prohibition which evidently could
sot extend to Danish vessels, going to revictnal
Norway.
• It was thus it was endeavpured to compel by fa-
:nine the. Norwegians to hecome Swedes.
4 The Swedish Government relying upon the as.
sistance of powerful allies, openly demanded the ces.
sion of Norway, and proposed other countries to
Denmark, as an indemnity. It was clear to all the
world, that such a proposition was not admissible.
Denmark rejected it.
• The Swedish Government redoubled its hostile
measures—it prevented all communication, by in-
terrupting the course of the posts between Sweden
and Norway :it did more—it forbid Swedish ships to
pay the duties of the Sound : a right ensured to Den-
mark by posterior treaties, and especially confirmed
by the last treaty of Joenkpeping. Even the Swedish
ships of war prevented the vessels of other nations
from paying this dntT at Elaineur.
66 A Swedish Marine Officer declared, by writing,
to the Royal Governor of the Isle of Bornholm, that
be had orders to take all vessels bearing the Danish
flag, and intercept all communication between Chris-
tiansoe and Bomholni. This order was in effect soon
after carried into execution : an Officer belonging to
the Danish Marine, proceeding frorp Bornholm to
Copenhagen, was arrested by a Swedish brig, and
carried to Ystadt.
" It is with regret the Danish Government sees
itself forced to take up arms, to revenge such insults,
and revenge its subjects. Orders have, in conse-
quence, been given to the commanders of the fories
by land and sea,
66 Every thing justifies this resplutiort—Govern-
moot has but too long suffered the provocations and
aggressions of a power, whose ?mile prOjects and
perfidious views are now notprwns to all Europe.
'l'be King places his entire c'onAJence in the fidelity
of his people, and particularly on ,his brave Nor-
wegians '
In consequence of tie war which has just broken
out betwten Denmark and Suellen, his Danish Ma-
jesty now orders all Swedes taken on board any vet
seta to be treated as prisoners of war.

No doubt whatever can now he reasonably enter-
tained with respect to the surrender of the Castle of
St. Sebastian's, 24th0P812 Pe official dispatch has been
received.

We now find that t.)) f rresident, Captain *mu,
finally sailed from St.. Sebastian's on the exening. of
the 9th. Early in the itrrning of that 4ay Sir GEORGE
COLLIER, who com tapd; the taval fumes, sent his
last letters on bo tdt with a note to Captain Masao,
tke purport of 100 was, is the Castle will surrender
to-clay—a salute will announce it."

At npop a sal\ite was fired accordingly, and when
the President stood in shore at two, P.M. the Spanish
flag was flying.
As we have already stated, no dispatches later than
the 7th have been received from Lout WELLINGTON,
but an Officer who has arrived from the Peninsula,
informs us, that the Army of Lord WELLINGTON, in
its present state, amounts to 120,000 pen, of which
30,000 are Portugnsse, 90,000roritish, and. 50,000
Spaniards. It was expected that Pampluna would
surrender immediately after the reduction of St. Se-
bastian's. The garrison bad no meat and little wine,
but plenty of bread.
Sir Pconpe Col.l3cu's Dispatches, respecting the
naval co-operations against St. ebastian's, have beep
received, and will be published in to-morrow's Ca-
sette. We, have grounds for belieying that they will
contain an account of an attack having been feinted
upon the sea-side of the town by the*Navy and the
85th Regiment, which succeeded in partially distract-
ing the attention of the enemy from the points that
were in earnest assailed, and consequently conduced
to the speedier reduction of the place. Never was the
spirit of cordiality between the Army and Navy more
sincere or mapifest than in the recent operations.

A Heligolapd Mail arriyed this morning, and the
intelligence it brings, although somewhat confused,
from the interruptcd state of the intercourse with the
Continent, is, nevertheless, of a promising description.
The Danes apd their allies are dying from Mecklen-
burgh ; and the Co ssacks are once more threateningl
Altona.! Hamburgh, therefore, must speedily be fn a
state of sine

" HELIGOItAND, SEPTEMBER p.

44 Our accounts from the opppsite coast continue
to be satisfactory. Private letters from Hamburgh,
of the 4th inst. state, that the Danes and their Allies
were precipitately retreating out of Mecklenburg.
64 The war was expected to be immediately trans:
ferred into Holstein : the inhabitants of Algona were
under the greatest alaym, and preparing to quit that
place with the utmost dispatch, as a detachment of
Cossacks were hourly expected to arrive there.
64 At Hamburgh it was reported much fighting
had taken place ; and as nothing had appeared in the
Qerrnan Journals respecting those affairs, they were
naturally concluded to have been unfavourable to the
French and their allies. The more sanguine at Ham.
ibufgh are in great hopes of soon being relieved fit=
that horrible tyranny under which they at present
gtoan.it

Paris Papers to the 14th inst have arrived. They
confirm the report which reached us from the French
Coast, of BONAPARTE'S abrupt departure from Dres-
den on the 3d, but hp returned on the eth, in the
evening. He is reported in this interval to have
driven the enemy to the other side of the Neisse, who
are described as having precipitately fled, " the in.
stant they perceived with whom they had to do !"
This is an exquisite touch of the Gasconade—it is fit
only for thp nurseries of Paris. Jack the Giant-killer
with his five•leagne boots was nothing tosthis bugbear
hero of the nineteenth century
gut there is 4 delightful obscurity in these papers,
and, like the Bulletin which described V ANDAMMIt'S
catastrophe, we can once more 'may the paradox—
Luau a non lucendo—and by the help of the Map we
shall endeavour to bring light out of darkness.—The
Neisse, then, across which the Allies have been driven,
is in Saxony, and not in Silesia—it is between the
Elbe and the Bober, and is not many miles North-
east from Dresden. The troops ;risich thisstimeci-
pitately fled" must therefore have bees s rift of the
victorious army of General &coma, itirinit; by the
result of the battle of Katzbach and VANIIMUMei

from the Northward. MACDOIWII--414,L, the Duke of
Taitzwros3, was left by BONATARTE in a good position
to make head against Bil:ts.o En, " should he rally."
—The probabilities are, that IdfiniaOsiol himself
will have some difficulty in rallying, tof an article
from Bayreuth, of Sepieniber 2, states, that this sprig

expected to rally! To as it is a.foreS admission of
MACDONALD'S defeat.

Let us now see what are the positions of the Grand,
Army which attacked Dresden, under the personal
suPeriquildance of P4onsay, and of trbieh the Ali-
&trims formed the meat prominent pot. On the
50th of August the Prince of Scuwapsastavaa's
head-quarters were Dux, two leagues from Top. j
tits, in Snhemia. Now really this is no great is.
tance from Dresden, and its readvance upon that,
Capital was probably the true cause of 412atar4ara's
return on the 6th.

We are told, to be sure, that the Austrian army was
not ;et re-organised, and did not or could not‘act.
This is merely intended to keep up the idea of its
materiel as well as its pora4 being destroyed—an idea
to which we shall never give currency until we have
received 1.. or d ri-ATHCART'S dispatches.
A cautious silence is maintained on the subject of
the CROWN PRINCR'S movements and those of Over.
NOT. An article from Angsburgh merely states the
position of the Bavarian division en the 28th, after
it had shored in the pnnishrnent inflicted on Ount7
NoT's temerity by the CROWN PRINCR.
One of two circumstances, we apprehend, must
have compelled Boaarattra's return to Dresden—
the advance of the CROWN PRINCE upon him after
overthrowing Ouonior, or the re-appearance of the
Austrians on the heights of Plauen. At all events,
while he remains in Dresden, he stands no small 1
clrance of being finally 'wounded. He has &maze
pn the Neisse to the northward Rnd eastward—the'
CROWN PRINCE of premix to the westward, and the
Grand Allied Armies on the frontiers of Bohemia,
to the eastward. His line of retreat to the Rhine by
Leipsc is open it is true, sp far as respects the
operatipns of any great army in his rear. Bur
can he depend on the tr,apquillity of the Sarns,
the Westphalians, Sind the Hessians, in his rear; or
upon the fidelity of the petty German ftrinces, who
follow in his train ? A retreat from Dresden will
probably be to tht paxons and Bavarigns, what the
retreat from Moscow was to the Pruoians ender the
" Traitor D'Yetta"—a signal fqr revolt. Success to,
all such traitors I

We are encouraged by the ripperor of AnsratA's
declaration to expect such-events. His Majesty, no
doubt, speaks advisedly when he describes the 14 bright
Lune of independence" in ail parts of Germany as
out-running the regular movements of their Sore,
resigns.

• While the awful sentence of the law was pending,
the COMMANDZII IN CHID abstained from expressing
any ppinion on this most distressing occasion. His
Royal Highness now feels it incumbent on him to
take that Fiat, which a due regard to the -di
and the character of the army dempds.
The COMMANDER 'III ClUgle is sincerely rejOicedi
that the clemency of his Royal Highness the PRINCE
RECUT, acting la thenatne and on behalf of his
Majesty, has been graciously extended to these Offi-
cers, add has prevented• their suffering an ignotni-
'lions death.: The offence of which they. have been
guilty cannot, :however, a military point of vie*,
remain unnoticed.
One due consideration Of all the eirtamstances
attending this transaction, the COMM/MUIR, IN CHIMP
is induced to think, that, of all theliarties concerned,.
the unfortunate Officer who lost his life, and the yet
more unfortunate one, by whose band his comrade
fell,. are the least culpable ; they appear not to have
been actuated by any personal animosity, but to
have been instigated and governed by the advice
of others.
The Cnanonira tx CBI= is greatly concerned
to observe,lhatno such palliation can be adduced in
the cues of Lieutenant. Dillon, Ensign Gilchrist and
n sign O'Brien.
Their interference was equally uncalled for and
annecessaxy, and tended not, as might have been
exiseeted, to settle the trivial difference which existed
between their Brother Officers, but to magnify its
impirtance, and to instigate them to the measure,
watch has led to so fatal a result.
The COMMAND= IN CUM) therefore has it in corn-
msnd.to convey to all these Officers the hieing dis-
pleasure of the PluNca Reosirr, for conduct so un•
military and disgraceful ; and to notify to theta, that
they are no longer OfAcers -in his Majesty's Service,
but his Royal lii&hness being disposed in this deci-
sion to attend to the distinction which cppears in
their conduct, and observing that Lieutenant Dillon,

The Coustanoaa IN CHIMP directs that this order

ST. SEBASTIAN, SPPTEMBER e.
(Frain a t panl.h Paper )
'Since the battles which took place near Pamplona,
nothing of any consequence occurred at the rmy,

'march from Bayonne, with about 45,0(R) men. Lord
Wellington retired from his head-quarters at Lezaca,
and, alter acli'sperate fight, give Sot& agother cOm-
plete-drubbing. The Spaniards behaved with the
most noble and determined bravery; and had three
Generals killed.

In the mean time, fifty-three 48 pounders cample-
ted the breach in St. Sebastian, and a general assault
was given, in which we succeeded, atter a consider-
able slaughter on both sides. Neyer did British sol-
diers act with more spirit and gallantry, overcoming
obstacles, which, perhaps, to any other troops in the
world, would have appeartd insurmountable.

oads; imMediaiely on ending our troops in full pos-
session of the townahelled it from the citadel, and in
few moments this beautiful city was in flames.
few hours after, it was a heap of ruins, and there is
nothing now remaining of one of the handsomest
towns in Spain to mark the spot where it once stood,
but a pile of ruins! The church alone, it was
thought, would have escaped ; but .the 'flames, which
still continue, are fast approaching it.
The Castle still holds out, and is now being bom-
barded: It is supplied with water by only one well ;
yesterday our batteries directed their fire to that spot,
when the French Officer commanding resorted to a
method of stopping our fire unheard of in war—he
placed our misoners round the well ; of course, our
firing ceased.. Only conceive the cruelty of such a
proceeding !
The plunder taken at Sr.. Sebastian's is said to be
very great.
.RUSSIAN PROCLAMATION. ' •

7tlou'lll3 PETERSBORGH PAPER OF AUGUST 17.
On the 4th (16th) of August, including the noti-
fication of six days stipulated fnr the resumption of
hostilities, the armistice was to finish. This space of
two mouths and twelve days having left but little
hopes of a conclusion of a just andhonourAble peace,
it is probable that the bloody contest, on which de-
finitively depends th, fate of Europe, is about to
corn merice.

The enemy. as might be expected, bad rather in
view, in demanding this suspension of arms, the as-
sembling of new forces. to enslave nations who are
strangers to him, than that of restoring that calm
which so many storms rendered so necessary, and so
precious to them. But such is the nattrre of circum-
stances in which Europe has for such a length of
time found herself. Xtis by blood that the hydra re.
volution had its birtb.—that she is soaked, and. in
which she must expire.
It is, without doubt, said, it is humiliating to the
human mind, that an age which is called the age of
understanding and philosophy, should precisely, be
that in which the science of crime has been cultiva-
ted the most profoundly and the most successfully—
that which has given the most dreadful examples of
human depravity. PRovirrxxce, whose impenetrable
decrees laugh at our vain reasoning, after having
punished so much pride, will at last make the good
cause triumph.
Let us dare to hope, that nations, tired by so many
misfortunes and calamities, will understand their real
interests better. The spirit of revolt will no longer
place arms in their hands to use against themselves,
or against their sovereigns ; they will now, on. the
contrary, offer the more touching spectacle of devo-
tion towardi their Princes and to their country. Ani-
mated by so generous motives, theirresources will be
as inexhaustible as their resignation and perseverance
will be indefatigable.
1 he enemy has collected fresh forces, which terror
has made to march ; but that of the allies are superior
in number—the most positive and least exaggerated
accounts
.rate them at 500,000 combatants, without
comprehending the Ruisian army oireserve, without
including the opinion they have of the justice of their
cause, and 'the enemy's situation, which they no
longer consider as inv.atible., •

DNB LdfFE BATTLAIN Clit.l#4l4ll", •
The iteedtalts which -hive been published of the late
battle's in Crertiany, are evidently flvblved in mach
obscurity and error, respecting the positions of the
different corps of the French army, the numbers•of
which they respectively consist, and the.names of The
Generals by whom they were commanded. This
probably was occasioned in a great measure by the
rapid advance of 130nae.arre to the protection of
Dresden, and by his having taken with him, or or-
dered•to Dresden some of the Generals aitd troops
who had been.stationed at other points. We are incli-
ned to believe that many dr the mistakes to which we
have alluded may be easily rectified by referring to'
the following Statement of the distribution of the
different _corps of the French Army, their respective
strength, and the names of the Generals by whom
they were commanded, on the eve of the attack of
the Allies upon Dresden :

- This advantage, though more than sufficient to
form a respectable corps d'armee, we should hold 01
small account,- especially when we consider the im-
mensity of force that is embattled on either side, were
we sure that between the two contending hosts there
was an equally close resemblance in every other re-
spect. But this is a question that car.not bd discussed
without entering into a comparison, which in the
eyes of prejudice or ignotance, could not fail of ap-
pearing odious ; but were it to be discussed by military
men ot experience and observation, we should have no
doubt whatever as to the result of the discussion.
We rejoice at all events at the ultimate decision of
Austria, however tardy, and at the better nature of
, the spirit and the principles which seem now to ani-
mate and to guide the New Confederacy against the
ambition of BONAPARTE. We cannot at the same ,
time conceal our regret at the protracted irresolution
of the Austrian Cabinet. it was that indecision of the
Emperor FRANCIS whicb proposed the armistice, and
consented to the lengthened period to which it was
drawn out. How many and signal are the advan-
tages which BONAPARTE has derived from that ill-
starred Measure ? Was it not the Armistice and its
duration which enabled him to accomplish the fol-
, towing objects ?
1. To•form DAVOUST'S army, and to fortify Hamburgti,
2. -‘traoasplete the line ot the Elbe, and the defences tif Drs
den, aini immensely to reinforce his grand army:

S. COmrely to form e:tuaIIRSALI S army, which chiefly con-
situ of vet ran troops from Spain. -
4. Entirely to form the Viceroy's army in Italy.
S. TO form the Bavarian army at Branau.
6. To re-urganize the Saxon army under Itcowiza.
7. To re-organize and march PONIATOWSKI'II Follett corps
through Bohemia.
8. To re-victual, to a certain extent, the besieged fortresses
of Stettin, Custiin, and Dastzie.
9. 'lO fortify Erfurt, in Saxony, and make it a grand place
d'annes and a depot.

10. To compleie sod re-equip Ms cavalry.
Much also has, no doubt, been done by the Allies
during the same period. BUt we have not the means
to ascertain the particulars. If we had, perhaps it
would appear that the delay has been as beneficial to
them Nis to the enemy : and should it be otherwise,
considering the relation. in which FRANCIS stands to
NA.POLLONs we have, perhaps, less reason for surprise
than regret at the delay. Of the cordiality of the
Allies we have now every assurance that can arise
from common views, common interests, and com-
mon danger.
