    Scents , $ * e front © f the building and the space before it , astonished every foreigner , who was brought to i * ee it ; the one manifested taste and magnificence in a very high degree , the other indicated that we were to be ranked amongst the most brutal of uncivilized

    nations of the world . Many of the wretches who thus destroyed the public enjoyment were taken . before magistrates , and several suffered the penalty due to their crimes : but their mischief ought to have been prevented , aad with verv little trouble this

    might have been effected . Several housekeepers contributed tbeir aid also to destroy the comfort of spectators , by throwing squibs from the windows or tops of their houses ; and if among oar readers any one should have been guilty of what we cannot but think a very mean auad dishonourable action , we beg of him to reflect * how such

    conduct tallies with the Christian precept , not to seek merely our own good but that o € oor neighbours . It may not be in his power to add to the pleasure of othersv Neither the master , nor the children ^ nor the domestics of a Christian should be seea indulging themselves in such ctegFading sports of mischief .

    Dresden and its vicinity , in reviewing his troops and preparing for the opening of a new canapaign , if it should be thought necessary . Both the military and pacific arrangements are become

    interesting . It cannot be doubted that the different courts are busily employed in endeavouring to give peace to Europe . They have all suffered so much that a continuance of this

    destructive war must be alike deprecated by all : but the difficulties in arranging their respective claims require such talents and such peaceable dispositions as are not likely to be found in the Congress . One commanding spirit will

    indeed be there ; and Austria , who indeed be there 5 and Austria , who will have a great snare in the pacification is , it is % o be feared , too much under its controul . Nothing has transpired on the pending negociations , and the state of the opposing armies is very

    little known . Should the campaign be re-commenced it will probably be a bloody one ; and the Swedes , under their new French prince , will probably feel the first effects of it . We have to lament the ruin almost of a great commercial town . The contributions

The Gallo-Spanish king has been completely defeated in the north . of Spain . He had retired to that part with a view of keeping possession of the north of the Ebro .

    leaving the midland provinces to the disposition of the confederates , and trusting the eastern part to Sachet and his army . But Marquis Wellington , by skilful marches , came up to and attacked him at Vittoria , and gained so decisive a victory , that the French left behind them their baggage , their artillery and ammunition and treasure

    to an immense amount . They were pursued in every direction , but outstripped their pursuers in their fli ght . The whole of the north of Spain thus became , with the exception of a fe \ r towns , the possession of the confederates , of wham some partie * , it is said ,
