The Gazette Extraordinary of the Re-
gency Of the Cd, contains two accounts
from the duke of Ciudad Rodrigo, to the
secretary of war. The first dated at Saliva
torra, the grand army of the enemy, which
he attacked and dislodged from all its
posts, not without a considerable loss on
his own part, obliging the enemy to retreat
towards Pamplona, abandoning all his ar
ullery except two pieces, and all his am
munition and baggage. His cxcellency
praises the Spanish troops, making honora-
bic mention of generals AIava, O'Donoiar
and Wimpffen, brigadiers Morillo (who
was woundcd) and Lawlcr, and of colonel

who commands a part of the army Of the

finally that he thought it probable that the
enemy would continue his retreat to Francs.
These accounts are accompanied by two
statements from the first of which it APP

Government has not yet received from
the continent any account relating to the
general peace. This morning report
which arose last night has been eagerly
of the armistice being broken
off; a rupture which is said to have been
occasioncd by the violation Of some of the
articles by the French and particularly by
an attempt made by one Of the corps Of the
army 10 take position beyond the line Of
demarkation. We are destitute of positive
facts relative to this impor,an. event.
June 90
News OF the greatest Importance have
been received from the head quarters of the
allies. Our readers know that the armis-
tice was to begin on the 4th June, and to
terminate on the goth July, but we are as.
sured that the emperor Alexander refused
TO sign 1t for more than o days, and that
upon condition that the French should eva.
cuate Kamburg; that in concert with Aus
tria he informed Bonaparte, that within Is
days the latter should declare whether he
would consent or not that the congress
should meet at Prague or Brcslaw, upon
the basis proposed by Austria, to wit: the
dissolution OF the coniederacy of the Rhine,
and the restitution of Tyrol, Trieste and
fiume TO the latter power: that if his an
swcr were affirmative that The object of the
congress should be general peace fine
gative, that Austria would join the allies
with 100000 men under the command of
Prince Schwartzenberg, who would pass
the Elbe at two places; and $4,000 should
enter Italy under the command of Prince
Charles. 1t is said that Bonaparte having
answered In the negative, Austria would
put her troops in motion before the 18th of
June.--It is also added that the Russian
army had received reinforcements, which
have almost doubled the number of their
troops, and that the allies have put &c, 900
men under the command Of gen. Bulow TO
unite with Bernadotte. These accounts
are contained in last nights Courier; il
being in the mean time matter Of surprize
that our ministry should not, even at this
date, have received any official account of
the armistice--Morn Chron

Lafe from France.-A letter from Sc
lem mentions the arrival at Cape Ann on
Sunday evening Of the schooner Gold Coin
err, of New York, rs DAYS from Bayonnc.-
Lett ship Noant, the only vessel in port
she had attempted 10 GENE cut, got on the
bar and went ashore: got her cargo out
without damage; had got the ship of and
expected to sail goth Nov. The schr has
valuable cargo Of brandy and silks. We
could get no political news by this arrival.
except that by the verbal communication of
the captain, it appears, that the general
impression on the public mind in France
was unfavorable to the French Arms-and
that certain rumours prevailed of Bona
parties having left Moscow fought great
battie---and retired again to that City.
II this last should be true, he has un-
doubtediy been defeated by Kutusow. from
which place he never will return.-Such an
event is too great for us to indulge any
hopes OF its having taken place. 1t is so
Tar c0rrohOrative of the Russian accounts,
that Paris dates Of The 18Th of Nov which
might have been received at Bayonnc, be-
fore the departure of the above vessel, and
which would have contained later news
from the armies than what we have re-
ceived from England under the same date,
announce nothing of consequence, * there
fore lead us to the conclusion that the
French had nothing to boast of.
