he would have given an equally good account of her. The

These frigates captured a Spanish vessel from Lima, the

OBSERVATIONS ON’rtlE TREATY BELWEENKINC FERDINA.II>
OF SPAIN AND THE CORSICAN.
Madrid, Jan. 20.—Very curious things arc gradually
coming to light, There is now no doubt, that King Ferdi Ferdinand
nand Ferdinand and the execrable Corsican have made a treaty. It
consists of 15 articles: among which are the acknowledg acknowledgment
ment acknowledgment of the King of Spain, in the person of Ferdinand,
by Bonaparte: the evacuation of the Spanish territory
by the French troops within a definitive period, to be fix fixed
ed fixed by another Convention : the acknowledgment of th®
independence and integrity of the Spanish dominions fcy
Bonaparte f does he think he here confers a favour?);
King Ferdinand will make the English depart from Spain
(here the Corsican discovers the cloven foot;
Heal projects to excite distrust among Allies occupy hit
thoughts); the mutual restitution of prisoners:
F erdinand binds himself to demand of England to rcslow
to this infernal Corsican the prisoners take in Spain; aft
obligation to observe the treaty of Utrecht, as far as res respects
pects respects maritim right? ; the renewal of the old treaties of
alliance between Spain and France: the restitution of
their property, the revenues, dignities, employments, P en "
sions, &c. to all the Spaniards who declared against their
country by attaching themselves to the blockhead Joseph
and the atrocious Bonaparte, and who are now suffering
in France part us their punishment for the crime of trea.
son against their country; so that the circumstance of
their having been spurious and traitorous Spaniards, and
most pernicious to their brethren? is not to cause them the
least harm.—Thus far, as to the contents of this famous
treaty, into which we shall not search further at present;
but content our selves with saying Spaniards, be upon
your guard ! by fraud Bonaparte overcome us in 1808 ;
by/orcc of arms he could not subdue us in six years of
contest; by fraud Bonoparte seeks to overcome us again.
With this view he means to avail himself of intrigue, se.
duction, plots, passions, and all other infamous means
suggested by his infernal policy. Humbled so far as now
to despair of conquering Spain, and to acknowledge the
unfortunate Ferdinand for King, he is obliged to look
about him for other objects. We already see him endeav endeavouring
ouring endeavouring to embroil us with our Allies, the English; and
we shall soon see him (if we apply no remedy) introduce
discord and disunion among ourselves. We shall sec him
«end flattering proposals and offers : as he has already sent
the two Spanish emissaries, the Duke of S. Carlosand
Palofox, we shal perhaps see hinx sent the Infant Don
Antonio, or even Ferdinand himself —perhaps also Char Charles
les Charles IV. and Maria Louisa ! The workings of fraud and
intrigue are about to recomcnce: it would not beat all
extraordinary were he to send us King Fcrdined, the bet better
ter better to subdue us at his leisure, surrounding him with per persons
sons persons under French influence, who may give him lessons of
despotism, and lessons of arbitrary government. More
vigilance is necessary now than ever; more perspicacity
to free ns from the smartes which the insidious tyrant is
laying for us; more firmness in our resolutions; and more
policy to counteract that of the Corsican.
GRAND ARMY OF THE ALLIES.
General Orders.
Head-Quarters, Montbelliard, Jan 8.
At this moment, when the army is advancing upon the
French territory, I think it my duty to remind the Com Commanders
manders Commanders of Corps of tho orders which preceded that move movement,
ment, movement, and to enjoin them to redouble their zeal for the
maintenance of order and discipline. They will exact the
same attention, under a responsibility the most extensive,
from all Commanders of regiments, battalions, &c. The
troops will make the scourge of war- bear as lightly as aspossible
possible aspossible upon the inhabitants ; arid on no account must
they exact more than the fixed marching allowvuce. The
conduct and exact discipline of the soldier must fulfil the
solemn engagement entered into by the Allied Monrchs,
in their Declaration to the French people: and convince
them that we do not make war upon them, and that we
are now in the midst of them only to conquer peace, and
to enable them to participate in i s blessings. The army,
in uniting to its well-proved valour the most severe disci,
pline, will fix the admiration of its age, and that of gener generations
ations generations to come.— The Commandants of corps will repeat
to their troops the order that the moat severe punishmet
will be inflicted on every offender, as due to the honor of
the army which is entrused to my command. They will
also every whre announce, that every inhabitant, out of
uniform, taken with arms in his hand, being only to be
considered in such case as a malefactor or assussin, shall
be judically condemned as such and punished with death.
—The town, city, or village, the inhabitants of which
shall oppose any resistance, and commit any acts of hos hostility,
tility, hostility, shall be razed, and reduced to ashes.
Proclamation.
Frenchmen !— Suffer not yourselves to be deceived by
calumnious reports, disseminated by malvolcnee. Behold
in the armies of Allied Sovereigns only the armies of hu hu'
' hu' inanity, who have no other enemies but the enemies of
peace. Your relatives, your friends, your brothers, your
children, prisoners in a foreign land, unite their wishes
with ours for peace; the first benefit of which to them
will be, their speedy return to .thobossom of their families.

Head-quarters, at Kiel, January 17, 1814.
The peace of Denmark with Sweden and England was
signed on the 4th of January. On Sunday the 16th, there
a grand parade? a solemn 2V JJeum was chaunted by
way of thanksgiving, and numerous salutes of artillery
were fired. The treaty has been sent to his Majesty the
King of Denmark, and the is expected by
Wednesday next. The whole army is putting itself in
march for the Rhine. There is no longer any rivalship
among the nations of the North ; they have acknowledge!
that they have the same interests. United for the noblest
object, they will combat together for the liberty of the
continent, the independence of sovereigns, and of nations.
The nations of the North do not look upon the French’
as enemies; they recognise no other enemy but him who
has done every thing to prevent their union : him who, it
cannot be too often repeated, has wished to enslave all
nations, and to ravish from all their country.
VOLTAIRE’S PROPHECY.
Voltaire, who, with his coadjutors d’Alembert, Diderot,
and others-, did all they could to bring about a revolution
in £• rance, is well known to have prophesied that event;
and his prophesy, published about24 years before, is dat dated
ed dated April ♦, 1764. It runs thus:
hattver 1 behold, is sowing the seeds of a revolution
which will infallibly arrive, but which I shall not have
the pleasun to witness. The French arrive at every thing
by slow degrees : but at length they do arrive. Light is
so much spread abroad among them by gradual approaches,
that on the frst occasion they will break out, and then
there will be i fine tumult. Young people are fortunate,
for they will $e charming things /â€
N ow, Sir, a&I do not wish to deprive Volfaire, who was
long the idol, net only of the French, but of all Frenchi Frenchified
fied Frenchified Englishmen, of the honours of a Prophet, instead of
remarking that tumult and his charming things
consisted on!y,o massacres, followed by tyranny and
slavery, I beg leareto propose that this note of hand of
his, which he cerainly could not pay when due, be re renewed,
newed, renewed, and the due altered from 1788-9 tp 1814; and
then we may say,with him, that “Young people are for fortunate,
tunate, fortunate, tor they vill see charming things."

Paris, Jan. 26.—T0-day her Majesty (he Empress
Queen and Regent received in the usual manner, a Depu Deputation
tation Deputation from the Officers of the National Guard of Parish
Marshal the I)uke of Conegliano, speaking in the name
of the Deputation, presented to her Majesty the follow following
ing following Address:—
“Madame, —His Majesty the Emperor and King has •
deigned to permit that his faithful the Officers of
the National Guards of his good city of Paris, should
place at the foot of the throne, the homage of their love
and fidelity.
“It is thus, Madame, that they have endeavoured to
express them:—-
“Sire, —In setting out to place yourself at die head
of your enemies, your Najesty confides your beloved wife
and son, the hbpe of the nation, and places the safety, the
tranquility of the capital, in our loje, our fidelity, and
our courage.
“Sire, your noble sentiments have penetrated tothebot-'
tom of our hearts. How much it is to be wished they
could have been equally heard at the extremities of France.
“Still full of emotions and penetrated with* gratitude,
we find it requisite to express to your Majesty the sentu
meats with which we are animated.
“Set out, Sire, with security : let no uneasiness respect respecting
ing respecting tip: fate of what you have, or what we have, most
dear, trouble your great thoughts ; go with onr children
and our brethren to repulse the coalesced emmies who aro
ravaging our provinces.
“By the strength of yourarmies, anil the power ofyour
genius, we will unite the force of the public spirit, which
the dangers of the country re-animate, the power of the
national pride, which is indignant at the insolent pride of
strangers; and quickly will the enemy acknowledge the im imprudence
prudence imprudence of their enterprises, and the illusion of their hopes.
“Sire, Fifteen years ago you saved France. You will
now save it again.
“Yourarmies. already numerous, will increase with the
new levies which are flying from all parts to drive the ene enemy
my enemy from the land of the ancient Gauls, and maintain the
integrity of the empire within its natural limits; such as
they have ever been acknowledged by the enemies them-
selves.
“I’ rance entire shall have for its rallying cry, J)clivranca
du Territoire.
“In vain, Sire, have the enemy conceived the injurious
• hope of dividing the nation. To the hatred and animosity
i with which the fear of yous genius inspires them, your
faithful subjects wilt oppose their love and confidence
I which the vicissitudes of fortune have not destroyed.
“Yes, Sire, the indissoluble union of the nation and ths
I Sovereign shall cause the fleeting infidelities of victory to
1 cease; and, collected round you, Frenchmen shall
be triumphant.
1 . “Proud of the august trust which you have confided to
our faith, the inhabitants of all classes composing the na na'
' na' tional guards of the good city of Paris, animated with the
same spirit, penetrated with the same sentiments, will de defend
fend defend your capital against strangers, and your throne a againstali
gainstali againstali the efforts of all kinds of enemies.
“They are ready to rally wifch their bodies round that
throne where the free choice ofctiie natron has placed your
Majesty and yobr dynasty, to the duration of which are
attached the glory, the salvation, and the repose of France.
“In receiving the crown, Sire, you also received ou£
oaths; we now renew them at the feet of your Majesty r
at the feet of the revered wife, so worthy \>f your love and
our’s, and before the cradle of your august son.
“Madame, .we entreat your Majesty to be pleased to
convey the expression of our sentiments to the foot of the
throne of your august husband.â€
[Here follows along list of signatures.!
Her Majesty the Empress replied— ' J
“Gentlemen, Officers of the National Guard of Paris
I participated the sentiments which the Emperor experi experienced
enced experienced when speaking to you; like him I have an witire *
confidence in your courage, your devotion, and yoar fi
delity. 7
“I shall give orders for your address being transmitted
without delay to the Emperor.â€
The following instance of female courage is given in the
last brunch Papers .-—“The courage of the troops as assembled
sembled assembled at the Camp of Notre Dame.de I’Enpine. about
a league from Lyons, has been greatly animated by the
heroic example of two intrepid Ladies. Near the Camp
lives a farmer, Named Dubonquet, formerly a Quarter Quartermaster

of these girls, the eldest 22 years of age, the other 19
delicate and well educated, have followd, almost on every ’
ocacasion, the detachments engaged in skirmishes vvifh the
enemy ; they are very brave, march with the men, and
encourage them to defend their eountry. In several smart
affairs with the enemy’s light troops and Cossacks they
have distinguished themselves, and are not only remark remarkable
able remarkable for their military spiret, but admired for prudence
and virtue. The soldiers have formed a sincere friendship
and respect for these heroines, and often exprese a hope
tb&t their comrades will profit by their example.’*
