'several successive victories. The Turks, to the amount Of 80,000 men, commanded by three Pachas, have been thrice beaten at Belgrade. The Servians co vered themselves with glory near Wedden ; but the i battle of Drina gave a decisive blow. The choicest I of the Turkish army, composed of 64,000 Bosnians, *Reeked on both sides the Servians, who were not snore than 25,000 men, assisted by 2090 Russians, under the command of Colonel Nicit. The conibat was most bloody. After three discharges of musketry, the Servians charged with the bayonet. The carnage was dread ful the Russian cavalry rushed upon the Turks with l i their pikes, and the infantry with their bayonets.— The Turks defended themselves in a most desperate manner. AU the Chiefs of the Servians, and the Russian Colonel, Nicit, were wounded. Nevertheless the Turks were vanquished ; we took 60(X) prisoners, :mil they lost an equal number of men, either killed or wounded, in the Drina, during this route. Atter the battle a conference took place between the Vizier and Czerni George, in which it was agreed that the Turks should pay the Servians 500,00 u piasters, who would, in return, give up the prisoners that they had • made, and treat for peace. Czerni George is now in the Russian camp, where the negociations are tarrying on. LONDON. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK: 3 per Cent. Cons. money, 65166. -ace. 66/1.

In consequence of the arrival of an American vessel at Falmouth, which left St. Übe's en the 26th Id:. it was yesteraay reported, that the French had made an attack or. the British lines at Cartaxo, from which Lord WELLiNcrosi had deemed it incident to fall back to his former strong position at Torres Ve citas ; that our loss on this occasion was 500 men g that of thienesny at 1000 ; and that Colonel Tee b eiT's division . he4iken.cita. • BrthivatisetCAOtl RUNTENVILLE came home a pissenier,"tiettig slightly wounded, and at the same ' e tlinitellxo4 Amerietne intelligence it is sufficient toremark, that ire have this morning received accounts fr0ni . 14444.k4 the Ist instant, which could not have failed to mention the circumstances stated, were there asst' foundation for them. The accounts to which we have just alluded, were brought by his Majesty's brig FERVENT, which slived at Torbay on Thursday, in ;is days from ~" , . Lisbon * with dispatches, from Lord "lOW x. which reached Town this morning. The letters brought by Are FEVENT confirm the' news of the death of Marquis ROMANA. He died suddenly, while dressing himself to wait on Lord WELLINGTON. The body went through the usual ceremony at Belem Church ; but it remained at the Library at the Convent, to be forwarded to Minorca. They also mention, that Juxor, while reconnoitring, had been wounded by one of our riflemen. The ball entered one cheek and went through the other.—At the time the FERVENT sailed, the report was that enemy were retreating. The following letter, from an officer of rank in Lord WELLINGTON'S army, has been shown to us through the favour of a Friend : 46 I have little news to tell you about the armies. MASSENA does not yet feel himself strong enough to attack us. It is understood that a reinforcement of 23,000 have already crossed the Pyrenees, which will dwindle down to 15 or 16,000 before they join the army ; and that Monaca has marched to co-operate With MASSENA; MORTIER'S Corps doss not exceed 8 or 10,000. Its object, it is supposed, will be to lay siege to Badajoz, and —, to make the frontier clear for VICTOR and Souvr, when they advance from the South of Spain, to invade Alentejo, for it now appears to be the favourite opinion that, to insure suc cess, the French must get possession of the left bank of the Tagus, for the purpose of driving our shipping out of the river. The ground opposite Lisbon, on the Alentejo side, is strong, but I fancy we could not, with our present numbers, spare men to defend it against a considerable army. BONAPARTE, if he comes, will be accompanied by an overpowering force, to ' l enable him to attack us oa both sides the river at th el same time. Had we only this side to think of we'l might bid defiance to him. I "In all our calculations of probable event s, there I is nothing has so puzzled the wise, as the length of time MASSENA has provisioned his army before our lines and on its present ground, without drawing any supplies from Spain. It would have been otherwise, had Lord WELLINGTON been able to have kept the enemy a week longer on the other side the Mondego after the affair at Busaco, and given the country on this side time to collect , and transport the grain. GOD knows how it will all end. 44 In the mean time the country is labouring under all the horrors of war, and its natural consequence, famine. Many of our Generals have gone home on jaccount of sickness and politics. General HILL, it is feared, will have to follow them for his health—his labsence will be a great loss to the Army, though he Iwill have an able successor , on tile left bank o f the Tagus, in Marshal Bens:Brom Generals Hoesrourr said NIGHTINGALE have an ;ved ; the latter, it is said, Will, In CRAWFORD'S absence, command the out-pbst near Santarem, under the superintendence of SPEN-• cam." " LISBON, JANUARY 26. " The Marquis de la RostaxA died two days ago, at headquarters. The French have taken Olivenza. , JUNOT has been wounded reconnoitring on the Rio' Mayor, some say mortally. Six thousand Spaniards have marched towards Elves to reinforcethegarrison." Letters from Oporto state, that as soon as Colonels MILLER and WlLsosr heard of the French being et Lamago, they marched against them, on which the enemy precipitately retired ; and SrLvetna immedi ately recrossed the Douro, to join the above Officers. Other accounts say, that SILVEIRA had another action with DEDUCT on the 11th ult. and had effected his retreat with little loss. Major COoKseY, who com manded a Portuguese battalion, is stated to have been killed in this action. r . . • ;Wm' OlerNz 'skillet Rialto * Yesterday, being the day appdnted ter pricking the Sheriffs for the year, a general sumitions. was issued for the Royal Dukes, Ministers, and' Officers of Slat, to attend in Council at Carlton House for that palL pose.

A little before one o'clock the Privy Councillors be gan to assemble : the Royal Dukes were shewn into a private apartment, and the Ministers and other Privy Cquncillors into a room on the right of the Grand 'Mall. • Soon after one o'clock Earl Commit, the Lord President of the Council, obtained an audience of his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, to acquaint him with the business that was about to be laid before him. After which his Royal Highness left his private apart ments accompanied by his attendants, together with Lord HEATHCICLD, as Gold Stick, &c. and pro ceeded to the Grand Saloon, where he was joined by the Royal Dukes. It was then announced to the other Privy Councillors that his Royal Highness was ready to hold Council, and they proceeded to attend his Royal Highness.

The principal business that occupied the attention of the Council was the pricking fir the Sheriffi, and signing two proclamations, w hich will appear in the Gazette of this evening, for the observance of a public Fast in England and Ireland, on the 20th of March, and in Scotland on the 21st of the same month. After the Council his Royal Highness gave ats dience to. 1 lie Marquis Wellesley, Earls Camden.and Liverpool, Ls eta Mulgrave and Elden, Messrs.

The list of promotions the Commander in Chief sub mitted to his ROYAL HIGHNESS, for his approbation, on Thursday evening. Mt. MANNERS Surrey had an audience as Judge- Advocate, and laid before him - the proceedings of several Courts-Martial, for his Royal approbation. About siz o'clock the Court broke up. The Doke of NORFOLK, after an interview with the Prince of \VatEs yesterday, left town for his seat at Arundel Castle, Sussex. Mr. SHERIDAN waited on the PRINCE REGENT yes terday morning, and had a long audience of his Royal Highness. Sir STEPHEN COTTERELL did nct attend the Privy Council at Carlton House on Wednesday, he having resigned the office of Clerk of the Council. Viscount CH ETWYND and Mr. FAWKENER attended as Clerks of the Council upon that occasion. We are concerned to say that Mr. EGERTON, M.P. for Chester, is confined to his house in Grafton-street, by severe indisposition. 1 The pleadings upon the subject of the Privileges of " the House ofCommons were commenced yesterday in the Court of King's Bench. Mr. Houtol D spoke at considerable length, and his speech contained a mass of recondite legal learning, of which the substance is given in our Law Report. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL is to reply on a future day. Major PAGE, of Massachusetts, charged with dis patches from Mr. Russzu, Charge d'Affaires of the United States in France, to Mr. Pitostix,y, Minister at the Court of Great Britain, arrived in town yes terday from Paris, which he left on the 9.Bth ult. 1 by' way of Morlaix, in a cartel to Dartmouth, in eighteen hours. By this conveyance, we understand, advices have been received, that three vessels from America direct, which arrived at Bourdeaux since the first of November had been admitted to an entry ; and that it was understood that all the American ves sels in French ports under similar cirr, EXTRACT FROM A LETTER, DATED OPORTO, JAR. 18. 4' We are here in hourly expectation of important news, as an action is expected to take place between the militias of the country and a division of the ene my, consisting of between 5 and 6000 infantry and 500 cavalry, who have indicated an intention of pe netrating into the wine country. The last accounts the enemy at : Colonels Wilson and would be admitted ; but it was essential that their papers should be sent to Paris, to be laid before the Emperor, which occasioned delay.

The long•continued ravages committed by the French privateers on our coasts reflect a son of na tional disgrace on a country possessing such vast naval resources, while they entail ruin on thousands of indult tr ions Individuals. An effectual check to the ravages of these marauders might easily be provided, if the Admiralty would condescend to step out of the old beaten track, and purchase a sufficient number of the French privateers that are continually exposed to sale in our sea-ports. These vessels are of little value, but they are remarkably-swift sailers ; and by keep ing a number of them cruizing in the Channel and along the coasts, they would soon annihilate the French privateers.—As matters now stand, our ships of war will seldom capture a privateer, unless she comes directly in their teeth ; for instances have oc curred, wherein the officers belonging to our ships of war, after risking their lives in capturing an enemy's vessel, have had money to pay out of their own poc kets, in consequence of the enormous charges of the Admiralty Court for condemnation having exceeded the produce of the captured vessel. TORBAY, FEBRUARY 7. ' The India fleet, and the ships for Lisbon and the Mediterranean, still remain windbound. PLYMOUTH, FEBRUARY 7. Arrived the SEMIRAMIS frigate, Capt. RICHARDSON, in 21 days from Lisbon ; she came last from Vigo, which place she left the 3d instant ; brings no news— The Marquis of Worcester and two other Noblemen, came home in her. Went out of harbour the TAteot sloop of sear, and Charles hired brig. The wind continues strong at W. S.W. The ships mentioned in my letter yesterday still remain wind bound in Torbay ; as do likewise :he East-India, Mediterranean, and Lisbon convoys ; about 100 sail of which are lying here. Last night a violent gale came on at W.S.W. which continued with increasing violence till four o'clock this morning—signal guns of distress were constantly fired, and many fatal accidents I fear must have hap. pened. The following comprises all that has yet, come to my knowledge of a serious nature :—The Ranger, EOMUNSON, of Leith, from the Mediterra nean, with a cargo, drove on shore and went to pieces, part of the cargo saved. The brig Tweed, Brodie, from Malaga, laden with lemons, wine, and raisins, which only came in last night, broke from her moor ings about one o'clock this morning, and ran on the rocks in Mill-bay, where she soon went to pieces—the master had one of his shoulders dislocated and an arm broken, and a boy belonging to her was drowned ; the rest of her crew were saved ; of her cargo, not IESO worth, will be recovered. Another vessel got on her beam-ends, but afterwards righted. PORTSMOUTH, FEBRUARY S.

This morning, about four o'clock, during a violent storm of wind from the east, and a tremendous sea, the sloop Lady Dunbar, of and for Belfast, from Whitehaven, laden with coals, Mooax master, was totally wrecked on a rock, about a quarter of a mile southward of Donaghadee. Eleven persons, includ ing the master and crew, (about five in number) pe rished. One man, a passenger, after having been several times washed overboard and back on board, providentially reached the beach on a plank. He is an inhabitant of Belfast (a shoemaker), and is now safe at Donaghadee. The bodies of the unfortunate sufferers have not yet been found. The Lady Dun bar sailed from Whitehaven at one p. m. yesterday, in company with the brig Neptune, of Donaghadee, and sever .1 othec vessels, laden also with coals. — About 12 at none, this day, three brigs (during the violent easterly storm) with great exertion, passed Donaghadee, and are supposed to have reached Bel fast Loch in safety.
