Con( fur arc. 63i 62i In our la( we gave fuch extracts from the accounts brought by the Hufum mail as the hour at which the journals and letters were delivered from the Poft Office would permit; and, in a Second Edition, we gave fuch particulars as Government allowed to tranfpire refpetling the difpatches brought by the Hon. Mr. BURREL. That Gentlemen left Koningf. berg cn the 23d, and Dantzic on the 27th, but did not fairly put to fea till the 3oth December. He brought difpatches. from Lord HUTCHINSON, but thefe being dated the 23d, and the latch difpatches received from his Lordfhip, Government are Rill without any Official accounts of the battle of the 26th December. On Saturday afternoon the following Note was cir culated in the Public Offices : BULLETIN. " No official accounts of the battle of the 16th December have reached us from the Ruffian head quarters ; but, day after day, fomething tranfpires from Warfaw, which makes it appear that the iffue of it was in every refpest highly favourable to the Ruffians. BOWA7ARTE attacked in five columns, of which three were defeated. The grand operation he medi tated, of forcing his way to the Ruffian magazines at lierly Stock, completely failed. "The latell accounts from Warfaw flare, that only one of the French columos fucceeded in the attack en the 26th, and it may be depended upon, that the French army could not belect , to a further attack on that day. BONAPARTE is' at Warfaw, and tas pro. attired his army an armillice, an 3 winter quarters DU - content and diffention prevailed among his Ge metals." There was alfo circulated among• the Diplomatic Circles the following NOTE: "A Difpatch from Lord HurcutNSON arrived this Morning, dated the z3d ult. brought by a Meffenger, who failed from Darazick on the 3oth, but who had been embarked fence the 26th. We underfland that be had not heard of any battle fublegnent to the 26th. "A communication has alto been made to Govern ment from Vienna, dated the Toth infl.—h [fates, that all accounts from Warfaw c incur in admitting, that the French were defeated on the 26th at Pultulk —that out of five columns which attacked the Ruf fians, only ore wets fuccefsful; that Bonaparte's great objeft in making the attack, was to be enabled to pufh on to Birkttock, on the road to Grodno, with a view to get pofreffion of the Ruffian magazines there, in which (Nat of courfe he had completely failed ; that there was great difcontent in the French army, and that •. - hid been / oldlged tb'preitae them to go into winter quartera." AE3Tliflt. "The Difpatches from Lord Horttr ru sox, which arrived this morning, are dated the 23d of December, and are confequently filent as to the refult of the affair at Pultuik. The Mellinger embarked at Dant. Zig on the 46th, and was detained there till the 3oth, at which period it was known that the French had made an unfuecefbful attack on the Ruffians, and were retreating towards Warfaw. " Through other channels, the affair of the zfith, in which the French claim the vietiory, is thus repre fented Four columns of the French attacked in front, and, after a fanguinary confliCt were beaten back—a fifth column penetrated to the rear of the Ruffians, but retired from want of fupport ; and a firth divifion, intended to have been employed, could not arrive in time to undertake the part affigned to it. B - mst.itaves object was to cut off the Ruffian ma gazines at B'rktiock." From the filencc obferved in thcfc notes refpaing the vidcry reported to have been obtained by the Ruffians on the 27th and two following days, we fear that the fa& is doubted, if not wholly dilbeli:ved, by GOvernment. Indeed the circumflance of NA?o• Lson's continuance at Warfaw on the 14. th ult. fur nifhes a Rrong prefumpticn that the defeat which he has been reported to have fußained has been exagge rated. Had he 101 l 60,000 men he could hardly have maintained his pofition on the other fide of the Vif tula. The private letters, however, received by the Mail on Saturday, as well as the Altana Mercury of the 22d, and the ilkiile du Nord, of the 23d January, all uniformly maintain that there had been aOions of great importance on the 27th, 28th, and 29th, but that no official accounts of them had yet been pub Mired. It is impollible, therefore, to afcertain what has really taken place, till farther accounts than arrive. There teems, however, ftill reafon to doubt that the progrefs of NAPOLEON has been checked, at leaft, by the Ruffians, and this, after all his rapid fucceffes, may be confidered as no mean advantage. The Ruffians will thus obtain time to reinforce their army for returning the campaign with energy, and the French can never confider their acquiroions as fecure while the Ruffian army remains unbroken. To the preceding we have to add, that yellerday a letter was trailimitted to Government, from a quar ter the molt refpatable, and in which, fo far as it goes, the utmuft confidence may be placed, dated Stettin the 7th day of January. It Rates, that on the preceding night, an E.Afette had arrived from the French head quarters, ordering immediately the ' whole of the garrifon of that City and its Artillery to proceed inftantly up the Oder to Pofen—An order which was molt relultantly complied with, and indeed, even in the Aril inftance, refuted by the foldiery :—fuch was their apprehenfion of the ficknefs which prevails in the French Grand Army ; but which was afterwards got the better of ; and, at the time the letter in queflion was written, they had ac tually marched. It alto adds, that the reafuns which were argued by public report for this fudden mea flue was the bloody and deftruCiive engagements which bad takenplace between the Ruffian and French armies between the 25th and 3oth of December, two of which were particularized as being eminently dif. advantageous to the French. Upon the whole, though there rnry be fame ex• aggeration in the accounts that have been circulated, we think there are-firong grounds for believing that the French have fuflained a fevere check, if not an abfolute defeat. Should this prove to be the cafe, they will have much to fear from the population of the countries they have overran. The didurbances in He& are by no means quelled, notwithilanding the more than ufual care taken by the French to conceal them. Proclamations are continually Miring from the French Generals to the various Diftrias they com• mand, which plainly enough indicate the difpofition to revolt and reheliiun on the part of the people to whom they are addrelTed. The countries of Fulda, Brunfwick, and Hattingen, in particular, are in a Rate of infurreaion. But this fpirit of difaffeeion is not confined to the conquered provinces. On the Banks of the Iller, in Bavaria, the peafants have rifen . in a tumultuous manner upon the military, who were charged with enforcing the mandates of NAPOLEON for calling out the Bavarian confcripts. ---- staarbolderate of Aufiria, above, and ham the Ens, and the country of Saltzburg, mill be given to the D or graVe of Bohemia, Count Wallis ; and the . Count of Sauran, Goverogt , of Styria, will be appointed S ta dtholder of Inner Auflria, viz. Styria, C or i nt hi a , Carniola, and all the circumjacent countries. The French A mbaffador, Andreoffi, after receiving t , o t h e 5117, difpatches from a courier, who im me . diately wcnt to Conliantinople, informed the public, t hat a very fanguinary action had taken place on the 26th ult. .A letter from Orfewa announces that the Porte has ratified the treaty of peace with Czerni George, t h e articles of which were figned at Semendria on the alr. by four Servian Senators. The Congrers of s oo mdria .afterwards addreffed a Proclamation to A te Servian troops in Bulgaria and Wallachia, with or ders for them to march immediately back to Servia. SORAILUS, DECEMBER zB. The following are the particulars of the capture of the Lower Town and fuburbs of Belgrade, by the &reins :—About a fortnight ago a Tu r k deferted from Belgrade to the Infurgents, and offered his affi fi ance in their projelled attempt on the place. On the s ight of the 13th, this rebel condOted a body of Ser. ,ian Volunteers by the fide of the Saave, as far as the entrenchments which the Turks had thrown up round the town. He then made them halt, and re- t i alring to the Turki(h port at this fpot, pretended ; that he had juit efcaped from the enemy, and had a great difcovery to make : he was fuffered to approach, when, precipitating himfelf on the Turks, he killed btr of them, and threw open the gates to the Set vians, who, on getting within the circumvallation,• began a general flatighrer. A houfe in which forty "Turks bad taken reftge was fet on fire, and they all perilbed. In the lower town the Strvians found 22 pieces of cannon, mourned in the entrenchments ; and feveral pieces of artillery in the Ili-eery. Czerni George permitted his troops to plunder the town for three days. On the 14. th, the town of traffelfthdt furrendered; but on this occafion the Servians loft Czaropitz, one of their moll fkilful Generals. The fame day the Turks made a moft vigorous fortie from the citadel, I and ran through the Itreets of the fuburbs, but did not obferve any Servians, as the latter had dug deep ditches acrofs the ftreets, in which they concealed thernfelve., and when the Turks gvt near them, they fuddenly rofe and fired upon them ; and after fight ing three I{'urs,drove them back with great fiaughter. On the 28th the Citadel furrendered, and the gar. rifon were fent by water to Widdin. The only con quer} that the Servians now have to make is the forrrefs of Schabals, which is well fupplied with pro vilions, and has a flrong garrifon. THE EVENING STAR. FOREIGN JOURNALS. Paris papers to the 3otb. and Dutch to the asth ult. have been received. The former do not contain any thing of the lealt importance. The only articles in the latter worth noticing are the following (from the Mercury, of the 24th of January) : , 4 A Frankfort paper, on the authority of a letter from Vienna, fpeaks of an obilinate battle bid to have been fought in Poland on the 29th or 3oth of December, but without mentioning the refillt. a The number of perfons bit at Leyden is not yet afcertained, nor can it be done with any precifion till all the ruins have been removed, which is a work of time and immenfe labour ; dead bodies, molt lhockingly mangleci, are dug op from time to time, but the greatett part are fo disfigured that they can not be recognized. The King has invited architeits to deliver in plans for rebuilding the city ; a pre thin) of iOOO guilders bring refetved for tht one which fhoold be approved." A new Imperial Decree V73S ined on the 22 ult. to'r embodying and organizing the National Guards, all over France. Every male trom 19 to 63, capable of bearing arms, is called on to (apply the pl ace o f the regulars, ordered to Poland. The Confc , ipts for the year 1807, ate all to• crofs the Rhine before the end of March, and sic tti;proceed to the army in four divifions. MONTE VIDEO. A repott was very current, in the City this mnrn ing, that Monte Video has been captured by his Ma jefty's troops. We did every thing in our power to trace the rumour to come fotirce, but without effect. This news was laid to have come flour Ame rica, but we have not been able to find that any papers have been received, or that any rad has arrived from that quarter. By late accounts from Peterfburgh we learn, that the Emperor ALIXANDER has ilfued a Ukafe, order ing, that "all Frenchmen, Italians, Genoefe, Hollan ders, and inhabitants of thofe parts of the left of the Rhine, which have fubmitted to the fway of the lalurper of the Government of France, fhall leave the country." An exception is made in favour of fuch men as have relided fifteen yeats in Rufiji, And maintained an irreproachable charamer, on their tak ing an oath that, during the war, they will hold no communication or correfpondence with France, or any of the countries to which the ahovedefcription applies A breach of this, it is added, will fubjed them to the heaviell penalties of law. Have there not been inflanees in the hatory of this country, of no very ;emote date, in which a fim.lar proceeding would have been attended with the moll beneficial tefults ? On Saturday a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, in Downing•ltreet, at which nearly all the Miniflers attended. Tile Honourable Mr. BURRELL, fon of Lord Gwrn►R, attended the Coun cil relative to the difpatcheb he brought 'rum Lord HUTCH INTON. A numerous meeting of the Board of Trade was held on Friday morning, at half palt eleven o'clock, at the Office in the Treafury, when a great number of Weft India Merchants and Distillers attended upon the fubjeCt of diflilling from fugar. Government, it is laid, are determined to purfue the B►itilb conquefts in South America, ; and hopes are entertained, that the next difp:Aches will announce the recapture of Buenos Ayres. It is with the gteateft pleafure we can Rate, that on the loth of November tall, two of ►he outward bound armament, dettined tor Buenos Ayres, were fate at St. Jago,the largett of the Cape de Verd iflands, and that the remaining part of the fleet were expected to rendezvous there in a day or two, all well. Extract of a letter from Captain R. HOWARD, of the tranfport, dated Maldonado River, Nov. 5 : " There are eight (hips of war and twelve tratdports now here under the command of Sir H. POPHAM. We have at prefent pofreffion of Maldonado, but I de not think we !hall keep it long. We have been here a month from the Cape of Good Hope." A letter from Bourdeaux mentions, that an Eng. lifh frigate, of So guns, fuppofed to be she Imps. LIE use, commanded by Lord Comte,/ e, at eight in the morning, of the 4th of January, detached tto men and three Officers, in three cutters, to take a battery, in tke territory of the Commune of La Tefte. —The 18 men, Rationed there, perceiving that the enemy teemed to manifea an intention of furrounding them, abandoned the battery. the Englith haftened forward, burned feveral huts near the battery, and (piked the guns ; after which they immediately em barked ; and when the national guards of La Tefle, headed by the Mayor, who behaved with great bra- very, repaired to the (pot, they found that the enemy had already retired.

From what caufe we do not pretend to fcrntinize, bits Government has lately ordered, that in every one of the King's yards, not only the regular men ihould work double tides, but they have fent to every yard gangs of Carpenters from the merchants' yards. Every (hip of every defcription is fitting out, parti cularly thole likely to be armed en flute, and fuch of the King's (hips as are calculated to carry troops. We know that a great many are of opinion, ai d among them tome of our 6rll charaeers, both in the Navy and Army, that now is the feafon to make at teml•ts on the coalls and country of our enemy, and that there attempts lhould be made in various and diilinet quarters, fo as to diflralt his attention, and force him to call back part of his armies for the de fence of the kingdom over which he has more imme diately ufurped the rule.
