LORD WELLINGTON'S
ENTRY INTO FRANCID7L-REPORTEDIVii-

RENDER. OF BAYONNE.

Earl Mato!, son of the Duke of Rica' mosraver.ki
I
rived at the Foreign Office this morning, at- ball-Past
ten, with dispatches from the Marquis .of Vrj...
TON, announcing his entrance into t'rauce. The
French who opposed his passage, foughtlirriosly,.
but were repulsed *itli great slaughter. The Smith.
and Portuguese troops are said to have nobly
.•
seconded the efforts of our brave countrymano-bc

When the Dispatches came away, Lord WELLINGTON
etas within a league and a half of Bayonne, which,
itp;helieleci, has since surrendered, the military force
having received the aid of the navy in this glurions
affair. A Bulletin *Hite issued this Afternoon.

The Park sad Tower guns were fired' soon after
the animal of Earl MARCH with the Dispatches.

The Gazette of Saturday contains dispatches trim
Sir G. Penrose, which add but little to the previous
information we had communicated of the affairs of
America. The Quebec and Montreal Papers, sc.
comnanying these dispatches, glee vs every reason to
believe that oar trans-atlantic enemies are making
sikorous preparations for achieving what the first at-
tempt of their Chief General (DEAntionN), had
failed to accomplish, vie. a suocessful invasion di
Canada. The Government of the UNITED STATES is,
apprised of the value of such a conquest, and will nbt
rest *bile there is a chance of el:teeing it. We nre sorry
to see that this war, ‘vbichwe have always deplora
more than every other, becomes more popular among,
the people of the States.. We have often said, that we
are aiming at no distinct ultimate object, in thie.ei-
pensive and widely-spread war in which we are involf:
td, in default of which we cannot' rationally and con-
Uplift assure ourselves of the usual advantages re-
stilticg from the valour of our troops, and the skill
of our Commanders. It is but 'a few days ago we
rvrated the same necessity, and regretted the•same.
omen;ill since then an American-patehitic 'News-
paper, called the National Inteiligenei; of a re-
cent date, has broughiknartijelvorth noticing. The
writer, as sensible as ourselves of the adrae-
tam a Government derives from Communicating
to the people, whom it calls upon to take up
arms, the object for which it goes to War; and, in-
deed, we might urge its paramount duly to do so,
speaks to that purport : we do not pretend to say he
is authorised by his Government : but what he ad-
vances deserves attention ; and confirms us in saying,
that we shall be obliged to, speak out at last, unless
we mean to war eternally. The sooner, therefore,
we are frank and explicit on our part, the better ;
of the more effect will be the application of those im-
mense sums which we are twice a week sending in gold
by the coaches to Harwich, for the use of the Swedes,
&c. our Allies, at the great ex pence of conveyance, and
to the danger of breaking down those vehicles. The
article we 'alluded to is as follows :—" The Orders
in Council of the British Government are now no
longer a question with the United States; the ques-
tion of-peace now requires only a proper and vigorous
use of the ample means which the Government is pos-
sessed of, to render it speedy,decisire, and glorious.
