66 WAIMINGTON, JULY L— The Natkwal Aspiratory
was yesterday celebrated is this city with the highest deatow•
strati= ofjoy."

As article from the Maine, dated July 30,
sesta, that notwithstanding the negociations are
carried en, the march Of troops, *c. proceeds
with the greatest activity through Strasbutgb to the
French army.
Yesterday, at four o'clock in the afternoon, a
telegraphic communication was made to the Ad.
miralty, announcing that a Messenger had arrived
from Waicherea, and that the general attack upon
Flushing had commenced.
A vessel laden with goods for the Eastern Coast
was on Monday warned of by one of our cruisers;
and it was understood that all private intercourse
with the opposite shore would for the present be
obstructed. •
A Gentleman arrived in town yesterday from
Caen, in Normandy. He mentions, that but for
the Conscription and the Public Papers, they
should feel and know nothing of the war in that
part of France. Provisions were abundant, and
alert of tranquillity approaching to stupefaction
generally prevailed. It was reported that the
Pons had entered We French territory, and it was
supposed the ecclesiastical authority of his Holi-
ness would be re-established a' Avvon.
We have, by a vessel fro n Corunna, some par_
titulars of RO3lllllO. army as late as the Zit's
Jet,. It was supposed he hid before that time
entered the Province of Leon. This is not cor-
rect ; he was nut further advanced than the defiles
of Villa Franca. lira army was in high spirits,
and 'lady aeeumelating ; aod it aas presumed he
would march vapidly to Burgo., to intercept the
enemy in hie retreat to the frontiers.
I' is now stated, tin the first authority, even in
the Ministerial Circles, that the facts of the Ar-
mistice between France and Aortas having ben
concluded and acted 'gain, is now universally cre.
diced at the Courts of the various Princes on the
Continent ; and therein not the smallest doubt en.
tertaiued as to the Spent) cirri lesion of peace upon
terms to the full as unpleasant to those Courts as
was at fist reported.
Yesterday Papers were received from Paris to
the 29th, Frankfort to the elst skimp, Berke to
the let, and Hambitrgh to the 6th instant. They
owe two facts of considerable importatice s—Tbe.
one, that the French are assembling io great num-
bees round Antwerp, which *hews the impractica-
bility of any sneeriststi attack in the East Scheld.
The other is, that Conscripts are plotting into the
territories of Austria, through Strasburgb, from the
interior of France.
Yesterday tiamburgh Papers were received to
the 6th. They take notice of onr Expedition,
and state, that as soon as news arrived a the
landing in Walcheren, the Dutch troops left Am.
sterdam, Haerlem, and other places for Leyden ;
and troops are rad to bo marching towards the
coast. _ _ _

Tim safe arrival of the Duke of Baunswica
Ou.s, with upwards of 1700 of his men, is a
circumstance which illustrates, as well the testi.
time ascendancy of this country, as the singular
situation in which the Continent of Germany
must be at this moment, to render it practicable
for the Duke to have reached the sea coast with
this small bet faithful band. They are ordered
to be disembarked at the ',le of Wight, where
they will at length enjoy repose, after the incredi.
ble fatigue they, have endured.
The intelligence from the Continent abounds
with rumours of a general aivicipation that hosti.
lities in Germany will be renewed at the expiration
of the Armistice. The continued march of con-
scripts through Strasburg, for Germany, seems
to be the principal foundation .on which this opi.
nion is raised. It appears, however, from the
very conditions of the Armistice, improbable,
that the war should be continued between France
and Austria. May not the project against Turkey
be near maturity? N APOLSO V is now separated from
Turkey, in Europe, only by Hungary, and Peace
with Austria will open to him a road into the
heart of herTerritory.—W bile Russia is at this very
moment advancing on one side—the cu-uperation
of Austria and Ntrouton from Hungary, would
instantly overturn that Empire, which now totters
on the very pinnacle of destruction. Of rein.
lineaments to the Freud' Army in Spain we hi.
therto hear nothing—Ntroczon has nut yet se.
cured Germany—and until that be effected, he
will leave King Josses and the army to maintain
themselves in Spain u well as they can.—
The Public will doubtless be iisfinitely amused
by the grave comparison of the Courier of
the Battle of Talavera with those of Crossey and
Agincourt. As we recoiled, on wither of those
days of immortal renown, were any " missing"
recorded.—And it is, in truth, impossible to sug.
gest a comparison more ludicrously absurd. The
bravery of our troops is too well known, and too
generally admitted, even by the French themselves,
to require this sort of adulatory "fiadian."—Our
army his exhibited, under its able and gallant Corn.
mender, that characteristic bravery by which it has
from the earliest period of histurybeen distinguished.
The attack which it repelled was truly formidable
—but let us not 64 out Herod tiered." A loss of

near 5000 in killed and wounded—has not, until
the battle of Talavera, been recorded in the his.'
tory of this country since the fatal day at Font.
nuy ; and if, as is now asserted, the British army
did nut amount to 20,000 men, every fourth, in-
stead of every fifth man has, for the present,
been placed " kors du combat." However the
assistance of the Spaniards may be slighted—if
they had not prevented our right wing from being
out-flanked—the fortune of the day had been
much more destructive. We may conjecture that
the erent of the battle would not have been an-
nounced by the Park and Tower guns. LinaiteU
as is our force in Spain, we might exclai.n with
PYKRIIIIi, after his victory over the Romans—
,' Another curb victory and we are undone."
The unrivalled bravery of the British army is but
libelled by the ridiculous gasconade: to which we
have alluded.

A vessel is arrived from Bilboa, which place she
left on the Ist inst. The Ikters-rooeivecl by this
aeoveyance are dated the day she sailed, and re.

at Bilboa had been withdrawn, with ,the amaeption
of 400 men.

The Palace of St. Claud is newly fitted up no.

the must costly magnificence ; but the chief suite
of roams are whimsically furnished with chairs,
each of them being of a different pattern ; so that
it snore resembles the display of an upholsterer%
warehouse, than the state apartments of a Gallic

Empress.
The new Arrhhighop of Dublin, Dr. CLEAVER

The navigation of the Thames has been lately
impeded by timber, and other obstructions. The
