Having accomplished this great object,
and seen Napoleon Continuing his flight
to Paris, covered with disgrace-the ALI
ed Monarchs have held grand Convoca-
ton in this city; and have published de-
claration which has astonished all Europe
BY its moderation. We have not heard the
Aresult of the Emperor Napoleon.
Tn this city have been assembled their
Imperial Majesties of Russia and Austria,
the Kings Of Bavaria and Prussia and ele-
ven Sovereign Princes late Members of the
Confederation of the Rhine-These latter
have all denounced their connection with
France have acknowledged the Emperor
Francis as the head of the Germanic Body,
and have offered to double their contin-
gents as evidence of their sincerely. The
Monarchs then separated, and the Princes
retired to their states
Measures have been taken for enter
ing France with armies amounting to SCI
ven hundred thousand men, if Napoleon
should not accept the offers made to him.
The allied forces now in arms amount to
100000 men without including Lord Wei
lington's army of 10000 10000 of these
are employed in sieges, and will soon be
released by the surrender of those places.
The Grand army is to be formed in the
Brisgau and other parts of Suabia, on the
frontier of Switzerland and France. Ii
Bonaparte does not accept the liberal terms
: SSered him, the principal point of invasion
will be through Switzerland
Bonapate it seems suspects this, and has
ordered force to march into French

Inducements from Edgefield and Able

years since, for the service of the U. States.

INTERESTING INFORMATION.
NENV REnpopD Fab y


Late last evening arrived here the
Portuguese schr. Magenta, in 46 days from
Lisbon, Capt. Terry, of Fairhaven, pas,
tenger in the Magenta, informs, that a
few hours previous to sailing, an express
arrived in Lisbon from Lord Wellington,
announcing a complete victory over the
French army, under Marshal Soult 1t
appears that Lord Wellington had been in
duced to orded the Spanish part of his
army to return to the Pyrenees, in con
sequence of the cruelties exercised by them
on the country people in France; that be-
ing thus reduced, Soult attacked him on
the It'll December and turned his left wing ;
but was repulsed after a very sanguinary
eonhict-that on the 18th, 18th and l4th,
the fighting continued with increased fury,
and finally ended in the total overthrow of
the French Captain Terry says the ex-
press reported, that the allied cavalry charg-
ed the French artillery, when in full fire,
and carried them and that the infantry
on both sides maintained contest with
the bayonet man to man for several hours
The numbers lost we did not learn, but
the express stated that the slaughter was
very great on both sides. Lord yelling
ton left force to blockade Bayonne, and
was advanced from that place 80 miles
towards Bordoux. The action took place
in the open country

All the memorials, petitions and remon-

same deadly hostility to the unfortunate
and oppressive measures of the general

alarmed without cause; but we do fear,

which we are already so sorely visited, we
have reason to apprehend the horrors of

Extract Of letter dated Liverpool, s2th month
22d, 1878.
The affairs of Europe for some time past
have been of such an unexampled nature
and of such vital importance to Great
Britain, that they seem to have absorbed
the whole attention and feeling of the ma
ton to so great degree as to have thrown
the evils resulting from the American War
into comparative obscurity; and it has been
the singularly happy fate of this country,
even since the destruction of an important
branch of her trade by the commencement
of hostiles with the United States, to
have seen in every change which has Ia
ken place in Europe, a new field opened to
her commerce, and another friend added
to her cause. So cheering are our pros
pects and such briskness has already been
infused into every branch of the manufac-
turing trade, that there seems less regret
now felt by the nation at large for the
loss Of our commerce with America. We
do not, however, suppose that the tide of
success which has flowed in upon this coun
try has in any degree altered the senti.
rneosts VS. believe them u be anxious and
ready to enter into any negotiation on the
terms which they offered, under less favor
