Saturday evening French Journals arrived to the 2tOth ult. They contain the 38th and 39th Bulletins, and prove what we have uniformly maintained, that no atlion of importance bad taken place between the Ruffians and French in the end of November or be. ginning of lan month. The Ruffians are certainly falling back, and it is undoubtedly the mofi prudent courfe they could have followed till their reinforce ments join them. The 39th Bulletin Rates, that Ruffia has declared war againa the Turks, and that Choczim and Bender baw been furrounded by their troops. If ALE' errata, in confequence of good intelligence of the intentions of the Turks to attack him, has anticipated their defign, he has aced prudently ; but we very much doubt the fiat, for the Mellinger which arrived on Friday laft from Peterlburgh, brings the moft pofitive affurances, that the belt undernanding prevails between tnofe Powers; and that the influence of the Ruffian Government at Conitantinople was completely triumphant over that of France. Thefe Bulletins alfo mention the furrender of Glo. gau, which was known Come time ago. The furren der of Plaffenbnrgh in Franconia, a place of no great importance, is alfo mentioned --Glogau does not ap• pear to have made a vigorous refinance, and the French from the pan, feem to be junified in expel ing the fpeedy reduaion of all Silefia. The corps of Ji110146 Bonaparts. appears to be advancing into Poland through Silefia, while the corps of Vent:waltz carries on the Geges. The Emperor of Ruflia has iffued a very fpirited and manly Declaration of his intention:of carrying on the war with vigour againn. France, and he calls upon the people to come forward now, not merely for the affiftance of their allies, bot for their own defence. It is dated 28th November. Every exertion is making to call on the Poles, and it is not thought that BomArsrry will advance much till a confiderable force is on foot. Kosciusxo has addreffed a proclamation to biz countrymen, in which his pretenfions to patrintifm are rendered fufpicious by the pas flattery of BONAPALTS, of whole ambi tion, indeed, be is now the inftruMent. IS:INA/ARTS was at Pofen on the 7th, and was not to proceed to Warfaw for Come time. At Warfaw the Declaration of the new kingdom of Poland is to take place with great folemnity. BUENOS AYRES. We Rated in our laft, that letters received by the Lifbon Mail announced the re-capture of Buenos Ayres, by the Spaniards. As far as we can colic& the fources of information, we find them derived from intelligence received from the Brazils, dated the zd of N vmher lag. If thefe advices are to be credited, it thould kern that the information in quetlion bad been e.wreyed to Fernambucco, the moil Northern port' of i _ the Brazils, on or ablut the above date, by a Span vcffel from Buenos Ayres, which had met with very revere weather in beating up for that port, an 4 will difmaßed. In point of time. this would fix the evest to the beginning, or, at leaft, the middle of Oaober-, The accounts farther Rated, that many lives were loft on both fides, and that the remaining gn g lith were prifoners. We own, we feel great difficulties in reconciling this account, fuch as it is, with probabilky. The bell informed upon this fubjia agree, theft no force of any avail could have arrived ham ibe Weßern provinces of Spaniffi Ainerica, : aerofs the Cordille ras, before the month of December; meted to foppofe that a fubjugered baffled provincial force coulthave fubdued even General Blazsenan's Rrength, is more than we can comprehend.' We fhould think that in every refpeet the force under General Beateroati and Sir Hosea Porn Are ought to have been able to maintain a conquill they were able to achieve with out any lola whatever, particularly as the Spaniards bad got no reinforcements, at leaft from Europe. • Same accounts Rate that a battle was foughten the plain near Buenos Ayres,, on the oh Oitober,‘in which General Battersea was killed, and the troops completely defeated.. . • Whatever ttnth may be in the intelligence, wet not believe the details given of it. Other accounts Rate, hat Sir Hosts Porlsata had been blown off his Ration, which. we believe, eras in the Rio de la Plata, and off Monte Video. This is not impoffible, as the land winds in that quarter forme times blow off thole with uncommon violence ; bat we mutt have farther accounts before the truth of there Ratements can be afcertained. The following are Tome of the accounts received by the .Mail : L:sitoN, DICKMIRR so.—" Enema Ayres bee been retaken from the Englills. Their General, and part of their troops• were left in the field of battle. The remainder draped, of were made prifoners. This intelligefice is confirmedty the laft letter from La Bahia. Although the news is not Wield, we entertain no doubt of is. A letter *Welt I itety received from the Giver. nor of Santa Martha Rated, that an expedition bed failed few Mame Video againit tt.e conquerors of 'Buenos Ayres, cosilliens of taco men, in feboooers, brigs, &c. Ind 600 in gun bents." ANOTHER RXTRACT, SAME DATE. The recapture of Buenos Ayres appears no WNW . The Englifh, who cleaned after the battle, are fort, and their ftrength is daily weakened by defertions. We ears pea with impatience the Brit Stip from Rio Janeiro; but probe bly ie will only bring thole particulars of which You may be al ready in poffelfion." Other letters, dated Madrid, Rate, that the Vice roy, having collected a force of Elooo men, drove in all our out-polli, and advanced refolutely to attsmk our main body, which did not confilt of moo of 4if ferent defcriptions. The engagement wise %fitly contefted, but the great fopetinTßY - bilhe - e r nerny compelled us to retreat, when diforder followed, and the Spaniih cavalry breaking in upon the ranks, Ge neral B 1 R snort D unfortunately fell, and the troops thus divided Red in all direftions. Saturday the Hannah, Hinnsasow, and the Flax. tan, SPEW, arrived in the River from the Baltic, after a fhort paage from Elfineur. By there we have received the Danifh and Hamburg Papers of the zoth, a day later than the Papers which reached town on Friday. The following arc the only articles they contain worth extra ling An article from Franckfort, of the tsth ult, tit tradifts the report of Colberg having furrendered to the French. Prince KUEARIN, it is now reported, will not pro. ceed as Ambafrador to Vienna from the Court of Ruffia. Count Razustoesay will remain at that City. The Bank at Pofen has been opened, to receive vo luntary contributions for defraying the expences of the general armament. Two individuals, Mars. Dzialinfki and Szoldrifki, gave, the one 30,000, and the other mono Polilh florins. A proclamation, iffued by General Dombrowtki, under date of the 3d December, orders that the Nobility (hall appear on horfeback, as cavalry, in the diffetent dint-ills, and that they [hall repair to the principal towns of each. A Captain has been appointed to each diftria, who, is to form the noblemen into fquadrons, and appoint ' the officers. Each fqnadron is to be compofed of so nobles, and fifty other horfemen, or attendants : two lieutenants, two comets, and fix fubordinate officers, with two trumpeters. Each nobleman is to bring with him the pay for his cavalier, or attendant, till the tft of February next. The whole of this corps of cavalry were to be ready by Chriftmas, and to march to Warfaw in order to be indent at the grand parade, fixed for the ill of January, in that city. The Emprefs Jost:pima was preparing to return to Paris, inflead of proceeding to Berlin, as was at fir ft intended. A divifion of her Imperial guard has entered Frankf }rt. The anniverfary of the coronation of NAPOLEON, and the battle'of Aufterlitz, was celebrated at Straf burg on the 7th ult. This fete was celerated at the Theatre by two new pieces, called The Way to Berlin, and the friversd of Jena. BONAPARTE is laid to have ordered, that feveral pieces of artillery, found in the arfenal at Berlin, and which were taken from Aoltria during the Seven Years War, (hall be fent to Vienna, as a compliment to the Emperor. The Bank at Furth has been taken poffeffion of op the part of Bavaria ; on which occafion the King of Bavaria has taken upon Madill all the refponfibility attached to that concern. The city of Magdeburg has fent a deputation to BONAPARTE, Fraying to be relieved from the contri bution of 360,000 fix dollars, levied upon them by his order. At Schwerin an order was publifhed on the 6th, that all Public Officers fhould produce within three days ltatements of the amount of all the money and effefts feized on by the French troops, as well as of the produce of what has been fold by *Orlon. ixiricAL IN7ELLIGIINCR. ll= t FALMOUTH.

The fignal having been given for weighing anchor, nothing was to be Peen in any direBion but Boats getting off to the fleet, with the paffengers and others, who had moll reluaantly re- turned to their different accommodations on {bore. Nearly the whole of the fleet were under fail by 12 o'clock, and early in the afternoon numbers difap• peared. The (bores were lined to behold this grand and lively objea, tome indeed drawn "thither from diftant parts of the country to part with relatives and friends about to vifit diftant climes, who were thus gradually departing from their 4 ' longing, linger. ing 10-k," while others were viewing with exultation this burthened fleet, conveying merchandize to the amount of millions to almoft every quarter of the Globe. In the evening, the fleet which had in the morning extended as far as the eye could reach, -forming a fpeaacle, equalled perhaps by none, had almoß all difappeared, and we may faitly h'tpe, will by to-morrow morning reach the Land's End. 1 We,firft loft fight of the Mediterranean fleet, with the Malta, Capt.

This fleet which has, fince the arrival of the whole, been found to amount to between fix and 700 fail, is the largeft that has left England face the year 1798 ; nor is it left true that this fleet has failed when we are declared to be in a Pie of blocialle. Some of the Eaft Indiamen have been here many weeks, at a very ccnfiderable expense to the Captains, Come of whom it has colt nearly tool. a week fince their ar• rival ; nor are the independem inhabitants of the *three towns more happy on account of the different Commanders, that they have failed, than on their own account, as every, article of provifion is become very dear.

There were about 4,000 troops in the town, and about xo,ooo at Konningfberg and its neighbourhood. CORN EXCHANigt, MARK -WE, Jaw. S.—The frefh imports of Wheat today, with the quantities on hand, form tolerable (applies; the trade for good famples is full as dear, but inferior qualities are heavy of Pale—The arrivals of Barley are very large, which is in demand and has ready (ale, but not cheaper—ln Malt and Beans of both forts but little alteration—The fupplies of Oats are very confide rable, good famples rapport !ail prices, inferior are rather lower—Flour without alteration. It is very common to hear people wiffiing, " that Fortune would befriend them." Stich, however, ought to be told, that Fortune is not to be gained by mere willies; 'tis the bold, atEcluous, and perfe vering fuitor, ir3t by words, but by ails, that wins the ft/lila of the wealth givin& Dame ;and any one, who can omit courting her in fuch a momentous Lottery Scheme as begins in a fevi days, deferves not her ft iendfhip. It has happened for many Lotteries pail, that the public have derived the benefit of (haring the Capital Prizes, which is a gratifying circumfiance to the Of fice-keepers, becaufe it contributes to the increafe cf file in every fubfequent Lottery ; therefore, it is pr e fumed, that the prefent brilliant Scheme will be of more importance to the public than any former one, and cannot fail of attrading the attention of thofe who never before adventured.
