The resources, the energies, moral and physital,
of the Allies, have been measured against the man
who covered his former disgraces by ascribing to
Iphydall causes the destruction of his army in
Russia—the Allies have been found superior—they
have not only conquered, but entirely destroyed
another French army.
The reverses that have befallen BONAPARTE from
the period at which he reached the acmi of power,
ire such as *ere anticipated by all who believe in the
rule of a esesistintending PROWDENCE. In the pride
of his beset, blown tip with his success, he imitated
the Use of BABYLON. Ascribing to his own arm

(as an nt employed to scourge the nations,)

We have frequently lad occasion to notice his
blasphemous assumption of the Divine Attributes.—
At one time he stiled himself ." the Vicegerent of
Providence !" at another, he claimed “ the Omni.
science of the Deity !" and, latterly, " that Prescience
which foreieesetents, and guides to an infallible re-
sult !" How improvident !—how ignorant I:—.how
shortsighted and blind ! have events proved the
orm to be. Let the Kings and the great men of
e earth behold how the mighty is fallen, and let

It Was reported last night, that another battle had
been fought on the. JSd ult. on the banks of the Elbe,
h which the corps of DAvousr had been completely
defeated, with the loss of. Five Thousand Prisoners,
and Forty Pieces of Cannon ! It was added, that
Mr. MitAßs,-.die Messenger, was'on his way to town,

rrive this mowing in Downing-street, but he was
raft the bearer of duplicate dispatches from Sir
..ummas. STEWART. We know not, therefore, what
ntth there is in the above report. It has probability,
wevre, to recommend it.

The glorious news, received yesterday, was cele-
rated at the Theatres by the performance of “ Gots

MIETTNO OF PAI,LIAJOsT• - .
• -
Was afterapon his loyal Hight*: the P;miakßy
whirr went bs state to the House. Of Peers ko deliver
the Speech :on the opening of the Seri* of parlia-
ment. Preparations had been made foi the'parpose,
and every thing was Conducted with a splendour and
decorum suited to the occasion. Never did we wit-
ness such universal joy diffused on every countenance
as on the present occasion.
Precisely at three o'clock, his ROYAL HIGHNIaII
having ascended the Throne. and the Commons,
with the Speaker at their head, having been called
to the Bar, his ROYAL HIGHNESS delivered a Speech,
of which the following is as accurate a sketch as we
have been able to collect at this late hour :

It commences with an expression of his ROYAL'
Mantras's deep concern at the continuance of his
fiLisaarx's lamented indisposition.. The interesting
and extraordinary situation of Europe, as Laying oc.
casioned the calling together's( Parliament so early,
Is then alluded to. •-.

His .Royal Highness congratulates the Country,
that the means supplied last Session by Parliament,
tc, enable him to assist the Allied Powers committed
in a struggle against France, have not been applied
in vain. With him the Country and Parliament will
rejoice to see that the exertions of the Allies have
ended in the utter ruin and discomfitu.re of the tre-
mendous. force opposed to them. After panegyrizing
the services of the Allied Armies, and the steadfast-
ness of their Sovereigns, in appropriate language, his
Royal Highness passes to the events in the Peninsula.

The valour and intrepidity displayed by the Bri-
tish army are described as having rescued nearly the
whole of Portugal and Spain from the domination of
France. The brilliant affair of Vittoria, in particu-
lar, had been followed up by successes not less splen-
did than decisive. By the consummate skill and
valour of Marquis WELLINGTON, the theatre of the
war has been transferred to the enemy's country, and
the French Government at length sees that the means
collected to support aggression are insufficient to re-
pel invasion.
The perfect and cordial co-operation of Russia,
Prussia, Sweden, Austria, and Bavaria, with Great
Britain, in the great, and glorious struggle now
making on the Continent for all that is dear to them
as Nations, is then mentioned.

The continuance of the war between this cnuntry
and America, is next alluded to, and an assurance
is given that his Royat. HIGHNESS has been con-
stantly actuated by the sincerest desire to re-esta-
blish the relations of Peace and Amity between the
two Countries : but his ROYAL HIGHNESS regrets,
'that the pretensions of America are still so exorbitant
as to-prevent their being listened to.
His ROYAL HIGHNESS next congratulates Parlia-
ment on the successes of the British Arms in Canada,
and also on the Coasts of America.

While these triumphs attend his Majesty's Arms and
Councils, it is most consolatory to know, that the im-
proving state of our commerce is a subject of high
satisfaction—A great portion of the trade formerly
carried on by America with the Continent, being now
transferred to British vessels.

His ROYAL. H►GHNESS expresses his reliance on the
cordial support of Parliament, to enable him to per.
severe in the measures adopted to oppose the designs
of the enemy, in the hope that the vigorous prosecu-
tion of the war will lead to the attainment of a peace,
consistent with the honour and maritime rights of
Great Britain.

In alluding to the estimates for the year, lIIS ROYAL
HIGHNESS expresses his reliance on the readiness of
Parliament to furnish such supplies as shall appear
necessary, to furnish the Allies with the means of
putting forth all their energies in the grea► cause of
Furope, as the best means of bringing the subject to
a speedy and glorious issue.
His ROYAL HIGHNESS concludes by expressing his
full confidence in the loyalty of the people and in the
wisdom of Parliament—satisfied that the constancy
and firmness which has so long attracted the admira-
tion of all Europe, will experience no diminution at
this important crisis: and his ROYAL HIGHNESS trusts,
that, with the blessing of DIVINE Nowt:mum, the
cause of mankind will ultimately triumph.

Yesterday the Earl of LIVXRPOOL gave a grand
dinner to a number of Peers ; among whom were the
LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke of MONTROSE., the Earls
of HARROWBY, MULORAVE, WESTMORLAND, BA•
THURST, WINCHELSEA, CLANRICARD, and a large
party.

Yesterday the Earl of YARMOUTH gave a grand
dinner to a large piny, at his house in Seymour-place.
Yesterday Lord CASTLERKAGH gave a grand din-
ner to a large party of Members of the House of
Commons.
A letter from an Officer of Enginlers, dated Vera,
October 15th, which came with the last dispatches,
says—" Our next operations will probably be against
the left of the enemy, at St. Jean de Pied de Port,
where it is not likely he will make any formidable
resistance, although considerably reinforced by Con-
siripts ; we may then look forward to the siege of
Bayonne. Ever since the British army has been in
the Peninsula, a severe epidemic has invariably ap-
peared at the close of the campaign : at present we
are unusually healthy, which is not to be attributed
to Pyrennean air only, but to the manner in which
the troops are now supplied with proper cooking
utensils, tents, and coverings."
