had found the surest stippert of her throne; and
when the Emperor of France had endeavoured to
!stretch his colossal power too far, he failed in his
I attempt, because he relied upon mere armies, and
.had not the support of the people in the countries
which be bad made the. seat of war. At this mo.
meta, the people of England were most desirous of
supporting the people of other nations in the present
war. They wished to give the greatest powers to the
Crown to be employed in so glorious a cause. The
time of the year was now particularly favourable to
the call which had teen made upon them, as it was
the season that men could be spared with he smallest

intention in Ministers to use the great power which ,
was now given to the Crown, in any attempt against
the liberties ef the people of this country. Under
the present circumstances, he approved of giving to'
the Crown this extraordinary power,—a power
I greater than ever before was confided- to it ; but at
the same time he wished to add this admonition, that
while we were exerting ourselves so mech for the,
liberties of ether nations, we should not be forgetful
of our own. This warning he thought it right to
pronounce in the moment of our enthusiasm ; and
while lie cordially approved of giving those great
powers to the Crown at the present moment, be
thought his consent would not be of less value from
having his eyes open to all the consequences which
might2result from it.—Leave was given to bring in

INTELLIGENCEIgtost THE ALLIED ARMIES.

The destruction and dispersion of the 'french
army since the decisive days In the vicinity of Leipsic
appear to be every day more complete. The enemy
no longer makes any stand, and seeks his safety
alone in a further flight to the Rhine. A few par.
ties will arrive there with their fugitive Emperor;
the greater part are destroyed on the road, are mode
prisoners, dispersed, or seek their safety in the ser-
vice of the Allied Army. The army of the North,
under the orders of the Crown Prince of Sweden,
has admixed, and was, according to the last ac-
counts, near Cassel and Gottingen. The Crown
Prince himself had proceeded from the latter place
to Hanover. The head-quarters of the Grand Army
of Bohemia were expected at Frankfort on the
Main, where a strong corps of Bavarians and War-
r tembergers had already arrived.
A division of the troops of General Tettenhorn
has occupied the strong fortress of Minden. Another
corps is gone through Oldenburg in pursuit of the
enemy, who, in small force, had again approached
this city, in order to punish its inhabitants for the
joy they had evinced at the approach of the Russian
j troops.

Gazetteir and Bremen Papers, the whole contents of
which are in a high degree satisfactory. 13y the
former it appears, that great activily had been dis.
played by Vow Yoncst In his movements, having for
their object to harass and weaken the retreatirg
foe. These efforts were not unsu -cessful ;it op,
pears that one corps of the enemy's army was se,
perated from the main body, and compelled to seek
refuge in Thuringia. The CROWN PRINCE was ra,
pidly advancing towards Hanover, and is now pro.
bably in Rolland, if indeed the patriotic exertions
of the inhabitants of that country have not super-
ceded the onwatelty of his appearance, and left the
troops under his command, disposable for other
purposes. The Bremen Papers contain the cheering
intelligence of the restoration of the ancient form of
government in that commercial republic.
Dispatches from Admiral FREMANTLE also appear
in the Gvetfr of last night, stating that Istria and
Croatia were in arms against the French ; that all
the islands of the Adriatic had shaken off the yoke
at elseenemy, and detailing several particulars of
the advantages* obtained by the, Austrian General
NVOENT.

The. Revolution in Holland has already been felt
in an eminent degree in this country, by the rise of
the Fonds, and the reduction in the price of provi-
sions. The manufacturing towns and districts have
likewise experienced the good effect of it; and we
congratulate our countrymen upon this fortunate
and unexpected posture of affairs. The renewal of our
intercourse with the Dutch people is of more import-
ance than that of any other country, for the immediate
beneficial consequence, /*salting from it; and the
Royal Exchange has already assumed a new, or rather
an old appearance. It was yesterday crowded with
'lshii.' from all parts of the metropolis, and the
greatest activity prevailed at the Bank, Stock Ex-
change, &C.
' We have great pleasure in stating, that Lieut.-
General Sir T►tost4s GRAHAM is appointed to com-
mend the expedition to Holland. This appointment
will give universal satisfactiort to the Public. We
understand it was offered to the gallant General in
terms so pressing and flattering, that he could not,
had he been so inclined, have refused to accept
it. HU departure will take place imme-
