Since copving the foregoing news
from the Gazette of this morning, we
have received the Nova Scotia Roy-
:il Gazette, which furnishes the fol
lowing additional articles:
London, April 24.
A mail from Lisbon arrived this
morning v ith accounts to the 12th
im.t. There has been no battle be
tween the British and French, nor
does anv one seem to be expected—
Lord Wellington’s head quarters are
still at Viceu. The most important
articles' in the Lisbon papers relate to
the operations of Ballesteres’s divi
sion—he has readied Ronquillo,
from whence a notification was sent
to the magistrates of Seville to pre
par so many rations for his troops
which, would arrive there the next
<hi\ (od)—We have no accounts how
ever of their having reached that ci
ty. The French, about 4000 in num
ber, retired from it on the 27th

Rallasteros has yet produced any
change in the positions or intentions

Chiclana, to invest Leon. T he lam

Junot has advanced with between
ten and twenty thousand men to As-

LONDON, MAY 14.
The German papers received yes
terday state, under the head of Paris,
March 19, that on the preceding
day the daughter of the Senator Lu-
cien Bonaparte arrived in that ci-
tv ; Lucien, either disgusted with
the apostacy of Napoleon, or fearing
for the permanence of his power, has
long declined to partake of h.“ lor-
lune. The arrival of his daughter
at Paris, is probably the signal for a
reconciliation between the two bro
thers—We also find from the Ger
man papers, that the blessings of a
militnrv conscription are to be exten
ded to Naples, Denmark, and all the
other countries and states which en
joy the benefit of French fraternity
The following is the only article dc
serving notice, not already beiore our
readers :
“ Banks of the Elbe, March 2.3.—
The recent union of Hanover makes
the politicians on the continent ver\
doubtful as to the ultimate success of
the negotiations of peace that may
be opened with Great Britain. The
lov.nl inhabitants of the electorate ol
Hanover, so partial to their lawful
mil adored Monarch, are, literally
.peaking, filled with despair at thi*
calamitous event which is considered
bv them a true national disaster —
We hope that England will use se
vere reprisals on this account, against
France.”

From the National Intelligencer.
The Aurora has opened its batte
ries upon an editorial article, which,
a few days since, appeared in this
paper on our relations with France ;
but for what substantial reasons it
would puzzle even a conjuror to di
vine.—Our readers will recollect
that in that article a view was pre
sented of the faint prospect of An ear
ly accommodation with France, in
IV. .■cions, however, as this union is,
there are sacrifices, which it would
lie criminal to make' for pieserving
it. It would be in the highest dc.
gree criminal to countenance the Sa
crifice of any great principle, of any
ssontial right, or attribute of sover
eignty.—Nor should the distinctive
feature of a free government, that the ,
will of a majority shall govern, ever *
be suffered lo be infringed.
When, then, that crisis came,- •
which produced the embargo, -the

a resort to physical force, should have
been the first step, even if it had been '
immediately followed by a repeal pf

ought not to have been repealed Un
