We conceive it a matter of justice. lowever, to state the reports as they have Reached us, and without anticipating the jndg fflent of the reader, by the declaration of our own previous opinions, to leave them to decline i Jfceir own ieferene'es. i , , , The 'first of these s tat men ts is That for a long time (six months since) there has been a 'secret, understanding between Marshal Howl!, -Marshal Sucliet, and the C rown Prince ; Mar "ehal Suchet being the nephew of the Crown . Frince, and Soult his nearest arid most intimate friend. That the object of this intrigue is sup . jeossd'to he the deposition of Bonaparte, and the , reinstatement of the Bourbons in Franceandof r Ferdinand in Spain. Soult to retain his duke. d?m of Dalmatia and Suchet to be a Grandee of VflAain. . ; : "; " ? It is scarcely necessary to make the observa tion upon this statement, tli at if it lie actually founded upon proper authority, it terminates at r .i once the dynasty of Bonaparte, and the new em :jt ' pins founded in his family. Bonaparte has sow ' ,rto other army, (none at Iust worth the name of an army) but those of Suchet and Soult j and the defection of these Marshals, and of these 'ftrmjet, should he added to his previous losses in 1813' and 1813, it is totally impossible that jEt11 Persoa can remaio in " safety Upon French ground. We therefore repeat, that the ponfirmation of this report would be follo wed by & bloodless and quiet revolution in Paris ; for what opposition could the reigning power pre "lend to make "on the ' general desertion of his a irhole armies and generals. , ' w A tarn ah.ik Smb. ia.kAwai. i m ' 4 ta army. l'he favourable accounts brought by the Connt de Grammont, in his recent mp from $i. Jean de liT to th's i country, are supposed to have led the way to thi journey, puich Minister to the United States. We learn by letters from the Hague, of the 22d, that tha Princo of Orange, in his new elmructer of Sovereign of the Netherlands, has appointed M. Chansi ion, late Commissary ' General in Holland, Minister Plenipotentiary to the Uni ted States of America. This appointment has of course .excited much interest among the Dutch, who eagerly anticipate the benefits to be defived from a renewal of their commercial intercouse with North America. . Bat how these benefits are to be eanimunicnted in the present situation of England and the United States, i. a difficulty which appears insurmoun table. ' " " ' -- " Bonaparte's Intrigues with Spain. The arrival of a mail at St. Sebastian has put us in possession of Spanish papers, which proves that Bonaparte had cajoled the simple Ferdinand, his prisoner, into a treaty of peace for Spain. In the Vitoria Gazette of the 12th we find the following passage : At Madrid there has arrived the Dnke San Carioswho-came sUt fair as Vinch escorted by Frenchmen, and brings, w e are assured, des. patches relative to peace. We have before us a letter from the capital, in which it is stated that the council of state was to have an extrunordina Vy meeting, at which this duke and the English ambassador would assist-it adds we are easy, because nothing can be concluded without the approbation of the Cortes." And the same paper of the lath, after giving the decree of the 1st of Jan. 1811, declaring viod all acts and ugrreements of the kind dot ing his oppression without or within Spain, con tains the following remarks : - " In the state in which Bonaparte now finds himself, with his infamous and perfidious dispo sitions, a new intrigue would not be astonishing.

The light company of the 26th has also , suffered severely ; one officer of that company fell, one is a prisoner, and a nother is said to be badly wounded. Iu killed, wounded and prisoners, the enemy lost about 80, whilst on our part, Jthere were !)at four killed arid four wounded.
