PARIS, Fem. 7.—They write from Mont de Allman, that
the passage of troops continues incessant, and with incredible
activity. Scarcely had the last division of the numerdes
corps of the Duke of Aisemeres left our walls, when we
saw 9000 men arrive, forming the first division of the Impe-
rial Guard; the second division, which will be followed by
the third, is already on the road from Bourdeaux, and within
a few days will be at Bayonne.
They write from llamburgh, ander date January 26, as
follows :

may assert with certainty that the Baltic will be entirely

Danish battertes acting at the saute time, will render the pas-

Nessus, at the time of his great undertakingagainst Copen-

defended the Strait, he would not have undertaken the expe-
dition.
Accounts from Frankfort state, that on the Ist of this

the account of the state of the-maguines found. at Jaen; he
knows, however, that there were found in the place, 6000

Seville, and thus the Spanish squadron will be taken. •

IT is difficalt to reconcile the possibility of Lord
CHATigAII having plied the Royal Ear with any
other experts memorandum than that which
has already been laid before the Public.---:—.
Yet the refusal of his Lordship to answer the
question: sheltering himself under his privilege as
a Peer, affords ample ground of suspicion that the
paper delivered to the House of Commons, is not
the only justification with which his Lordship has
endeavoured to secure the Royal approbation.
That the Minister, on a questinn so momentous
as that of the Address moved list night by Mr.
WAITBRSADI should be io a oiinority, 1 e cer-
