Earl TEMPLE Rated, that the Committee not having yet made its Report, the Bill of which he had given notice was therefore dropped. His Bill would, have been for entirely repealing thnfe parts of the Aft which created the penalties. The prefent Bill was merely for fufpending them for twelve months.

General Suwaroff, Prince Italinifki (as our Gazette informs us), who was wounded at the defeat of Ge neral Effen, near Oltiolenka, is dead of his wounds. General Bndberg was killed in the fame aetion. The whole Ruffian regiment of Wolkonfky was completely annihilated. According to the report of fuch as have vifited the field of battle, it exhibits a dreadful fpec tacle. The French buried 5900 dead bodies of the Ruffians ; they alfo found 2400 wounded Ruffians in the villages through which the latter had retreated. BERLIN, MARCH 6. Official accounts front the head quarters at Of'e rode, dated the 28th of February, (late, that all ac counts concur in eflimating the lots of the Ruffians in the battle of Eylau at 20 Generals and goo officers partly killed, and partly wounded, and at 30,000 wen, difabled from further fervice. In the battle of Oilrolenka, on the 16th of February, two Ruffian Generals were killed and three wounded. His Ma. jelly has ordered the flandards taken at the battle of Eylau to be fent to Paris, and the cannon to Thorn. The atmy has gone into cantonments behind the Palfarge. The left wing inclines to Marienwerder and Elbing, where the country prefents many fources of accommodation. A Ruffian divificn advanced towards Braunfberg, which lies at the point of our cantonments. The Em peror gave orders that they should be attacked, and the Prince of Ponte Corvo commiffioned the merito rious General Dupont to carry thefe orders into ef feet. On the 26th of February at two in the after noon, General Dupont appeared before Brauniberg,, attacked the firong divifion of the enemy, defeated them with the bayonet, and drove them out of the town and back over the Paffarge. He took lateen' pieces of cannon, two flandards, and aoco prifoners.l Our lois in killed was tt Ming. On the fide of Guftadt, General Liger Belair, matched on the nth at break of day to Peter fwalde, having learned that a Ruffian column had arrived there in the night. He attacked it and took prifoners the General Baron Korff, feveral Lieutenant Colo• nth, and officers, and 400 men. This brigade was compofed of ten battalions which had (offered fo much, that it had not more than 1600 men under isms. General Dombrowfky advanced againa the garri fon of Dantzic. He fell in with it near Dirfcheu, took 600 prifoners and fevers pieces of cannon, and purfued it feveral leagues fwo►d in hand. Martha! Lefebre came up with the roth corps which he com mands: he was joined by the Saxons, and marched to iaveft Dantsic.—h'amburgh Correfpond. March 41. ANOTHER LETTER. SAME DATE. Letters from Oiterode, of the I a of March, bring advice, that his MajeQy the Emperor and King, has granted permiffion to Marfbal Augereau to return to Paris for the recovery of his health. He has been for fume time ill of a violent rheumatifm, and was (lightly wounded at the battle of Eylau. His Majelly, to manifett his fatisfadion at the con du& of General Savary, in the brilliant affair at Oftrolenka, has fent him the grand cordon of the legion of honour, and called him about his perfon. As Marital Lannes is Ilia ill at Warlaw, Marfhal Maffena has at prefent the chief command of the 15th corps of the army.—Earnburgh Correfpondemi, March 1 t. BANKS OF THE ELBE, MARCH 9. Accounts from Berlin and Copenhagen, (peak of an armißice : this report is probably founded on the propofition which was made by one of the Bel ligerent Powers ; a propofition which has been re jeOed by the other. The arminice was to have bean for three weeks, during which Peace would have been negociated. The Ruffians received loon after the battle of Ejlau a confiderable reinforcement, efli meed at 43,0c0 men ; notwithßanding, from the day of that battle, nothing important has occurred ) except that a regiment of French cuirafiers fuffered confiderably from an attack on the part of the Cof lacks. The operations of the French are greatly fraitened by the want of provifions, and in confe• quence they are drawing towards the Viflula. It is pretended to be known at Berlin that the head quar ters are already at Thorn. The French army is fill ilationed from Elbing to the frontiers of ci-devant Poland, and hold merely a communication with the corps which occupies the pofition of Warfaw and the Narew. If the Ruffian army maintains its fituation - on the Pregel, the country between that river and the Pal farge tray foon be the theatre of new fanguinary confliets. In the mean while the approach of the French army may decide the fate of Dantzic and Graudanz, againft which the 4th corps is deßined to aft. Acefording to accounts from St. Peter(burgh, four Ruffian Generals were killed or wounded at the battle of Eylau. Among the former is the chief of the Emperor's Cuiraffiers, M. Rogin.. Major- General Barclay de Tolloy was wounded in the arm. The battle,which was fought on a plain twenty verns in circumference, commenced on the 7th, at three in the afternoon, and was not over till the Bth, at fix in the evening. The corps which was fortnetly commanded by Ge neral Buxhovden, had joined that of General Ben nigfen ; feveral regiments had fired all their car tridges, and could only make ufe of the bayonet ; a party of wounded Ruffians are at Konigfberg. The 28th of January the Pruflians took near Grau• denz, a Prince of Witgenßein, and on the 27th ult. near Marienwerder, General Fraulier, Chief of a 1 1 regiment of Artillery.—ilbrille der 1"ord, March to. BANKS OF THE MAINE, MARCH 3. According to a public journal, M. Globig, a Saxon Adjutant General, fell into the midi! of a party of the enemy, coming from the fide of the Buntzlau, at the point which fepa►ates Upper Lufatia from Sile• fat they took from him his difpatches and what money he had. The intelligence that a corps of Pruffian partifans had penetrated into a part cf the kingdom of Saxony, has caufed fo much the greater alarm in Thuringia, as there are no troops to oppofe the enterprifes of that corps ; letters from Soran and other towns in Lufatia, defcribe the condo& of the Pruffians in the blacken colours, and complain of the manner in which they treat the poor inhabitants. The contingent of Saxe Weymar fet out on the zd fcr the Grand Army, it took the route of Stettin, of which place it will form the garrifon. VIENNA, FEBRUARY as. They write from Turkey, that the Ruffians, under the orders of General Michelfon, have paned the Da nube above Widdin, inclofed Servia, and that fixty thoufand Servians have joined them. Although this intelligence is contained in feveral letters, it neverthe lefs requires confirmation. The Pacha of Erzerum has received orders to alembic a confiderable corps in Tonkin' Armenia, which is intended to fupport the Schah of Perfia againft the Ruffians in Georgia.—L'Atilk du Nord, March to. NAPLES, FEB. ri. The Englifh, lan fummer, at the breaking nut of the infurration of Calabria, took polfelEou of the town and caftie of Amantea, which latter they have ftrongly fortified. Lan month, General PEYRE un dertook the liege of this place ; and on the 7th inn. it furrendered. The garrifon, confining of Englint and Sicilians, embarked for Sicily, leaving behind them, all their artillery, ammunition, Etc. the citadel of Reggio, and the (mall fort of Scigho, will aow be loon befieged. As milder weather is now approaching, General RAYNIER is making preparations, completely to clear, by a fights corps, the two Calabtias of the troops of b anditti which infefl fome parts of the mountains. CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. :s. The number of ItulAsn troops which have entered th e provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia, appears to ha ye been fomewhat exaggerated by common report. According to more probable accounts, only 30,000 me n have aBnally entered the Turkith territory. An am ty of referve, of 80,000 men, is polled on the left ban k of the llniefler. '.l be Turkilh fquadron Rationed at Buyukdera, where the greateß exertions are making in ereeting new batteries, is daily augmenting. The number of fhips is already above 30, of which eight are of the line. The Porte has betides required of three Bar bary ,powers an aid of 3o fhips of war. SEMLIN. FEBRUARY zs. According to the Weft accounts, there bas been a fmar t anion between the Ruffian advanced guard, under the command of General Milarotovitrch, and the troops of Pafwan Oglu, which had left Widdin and tak In a pofition at Smerdan. The iffite of this battle is not yet known ; Pafwan Ogiu received lime time fin ce different reinforcements, and flattered himfelf t hat he fbould be able to flop the Ruffians until the srmy which is affembling on the fide of Adrianop le fhould be in a Rate to an ; betides this grand army, there is a particular corps, intended to keep in ch eck the Montenegrins and Albanians, and to an, if icircutnflances require it, in concert with the French troops in Dalmatia. From this loth to the aoth of January, feveral di vifions of Ruffian troops arrived at Bncharefl ; they continued it nmediately their match ton•ards the Da. nge.---.l.tri la/ & Franc4fort. FRENCH EXPEDITIONS. In con fequence of important difpatches which Go vernment have received from the Commanders of the Squadrons off Breit, Boulogne, and Rochefort, the Admiralty, it is faid, is about to change the fyf tem of Blockade ; and. on the fuggeftion of Earl ST VINCENT, to adopt a meafure of more efficacy, and lefs peril. It has now been proved by experience, and particularly by fome recent incidents, that the fyl tern of Blockade is not calculated to aufwer its pur pole ; and we underhand the firbilance of the dif patches to be, that the Admirals and Commodores on the feveral ltati..ns can no longer be refponfible for the execution of their orders ; that his Majelly's veffels, according to a late examination, have fuffered the molt ferious injury on this fervice ; and that the confequent expence to the country, and the extraor• dinary wear and tear of the navy, were in value in. finitely beyond any partial rellraint on the (hips of the enemy. It is farther tared, that the utm'ft vigilance of our Commanders is unequal to prevent the cfcape of the enemy ; that, in the long period of the Equinoc • • tial Winds, duriag the whole of the Spring and Winter, and the- greater part of the Autumn, th, y entered and departed at their pleafure ; and that lus Majefty's (hips had the frequent mortification to tee them in the at of preparation, and with their fails and yards fet, without any potlibility of preventing their purpofe. So perfuaded were the enemy that they poffeifed this full liberty of leaving their ports at their difcretion, that a general failing order ap peared to have been Med to every public port in France ; and that they were executing it as GU as the opportunity prefented itfelf. A fquadron of three (hips, two frigates, and five sloops of war, has efcaped from Breit ; and a much ltronger fquadron had nearly effeded the fame purpofe from Rochefort—they had already cleared the harbour, when an eafterly wind fuddenly arofe and compelled them to return. Thefe are but two amorigft many fimilar inllances; but as they have occurred at the fame time, they have im paid themfelves very forcibly upon the conlidera lion of the Admiralty. By the American (hip Highland Mary, FRAZER, Matter, which has arrived at Falmouth in 47 days, from Norfolk in the State of Virginia, we learn, that two French fail of the line, and a frigate of 44 guns, were lying in the Chefareak, and that it was report ed, in Richmond and Norfr.lk, that a confidetable reinforcement was daily expected by them. The fytlem of the enemy is ingenious—his veffels efcape tingly, and run to a point of rendezvous in Come Neutral Port. It is now generally believed, that the French have Tome defign on the Weft Indies; and the motions obfervablc in the Ports of France may perhaps tend to that object. The affembling in the Chefapeak is perhaps the &It flep. We have the fatitfaCtion, however, to add, that the fquadron in the Chefapeak is clofely watched by his Majefty's (hips BELLONA, TRIUMPH and MER MAID. If the Englilh fquadron could maintain their Ration fo as to come into contrat with the enemy, we lhonld have no apprehenflon ; but it is unfortn. nately in America, as on the coatis of France, one and the fame wind brings the asemy ow, and drives the Englifh off. The Papers of the Dutch frigate, lately wrecked in the Orkneys, have been forwarded to Government. They are (aid to have led to Come moil important difcoveries refpeding the defigns of our enemies ; a difcovery which it is hoped will enable Government to fruftrate their objed. EPIGRAM.

It has not yet been afccrtained by what acci • dent he was drowned. Early yeflerday morning, Captain Baatrrnav, of the Woolwich ltorelhip, arrived at the Admiralty, with difpatches from the Cape of Good Hope. In telligence of a moll fatisfaelory nature has been re ceived by this opportunity, refpefting advantages obtained by our cruizers in the Indian Seas over the enemy. The Maria, a Dutch frigate, and two brig-, have be en cut out of Batavia by his Majefly's frigate CAROLINE, after a fpirited and determined contell. By all accounts, this was as daring and gallant an enterprize as any which has fignalized the prefent war. Another fuccefs has alfo been obtained, which pro mifes no lefs fame, and far more advantage to thole, by whole bravery and (kill it has been atchieved.— 'l'he Pallas, a Diftch frigate, has been captured in the EaR Indies, by the GREYHOUND, of 32 guns, Captaia ELPHINSTONS, and the HARRIER brig, Capt. THOMAS Taounatact. She is the richeß prize that has been made this war. She had a million of dollars on hoard, befides a moll valuable cargo. Captain TROU BRIDGE is the fon of the Admiral ; and the gal. lantry and (kill which he difplayed on this occafion, are the natural confequences of the brave Rock from which he has fprung.
