It is written with an eloquence which at once delights and cotainecs; it is titnius pleading for truth." &kith Critic, September, 1801. . _ FOREIGN iNTEILIGENCE Several letters reached Altona and Hamburgh on the t4th and isth, Rating, that another fmart aEtion bad been fought between the Pruffian General Lef tgq, and a corps of Bernadotte's army, at &tem, on the Vißula, in which the latter was defeated with the lols of nine pieces of cannon and fourteen bun ditdprifoners. The Raffia* head-quarters were on the 29th Janu ary at Gilgenborgli ; the left wing of the annex. tended to the defart of johannilborg, and the right relied on the town of Bifeupyce. Brtnaparte had been at Malwa and I'rzafnitz on the 3d, but to this date there was not any certain ac count of the main bodies of the grand armies having come in coined, although affairs of pats are report. ed to have occurred daily. The Wurtzburgh Gazette, although fo immedi ately under French influence, admits that the French have loft 20,000 men in the recent affairs in Poland and Bait Pruflia. Sever:A French corps were collating on the Poliza, whither the three Polifh legions under Zajouzeck, Dembrofky, and Jcfeph Poniatowflcy, were ordered to repair. Tlie main body of the French army is concentrated within the Bifhopric of Plocks. The lick and wounded French foldiers in Poland, on the 27th January, are Rated to have amounted to 53,200 men : in the hofpitals at Gnefen alone them were upwards of tg,ooo. The lower difiritls of Calabria are again in arms ; part of the French troops there having been with drawn, great numbers of thofe who remained have been furprifed and cut to pieces by the natives. Spalatro has been carried by affault, and the French garrifon put to the fword. Prince Eugene, the Viceroy of Italy, has in con fequence recalled fume Italian regiments, which were on their route to join the French army in Poland and is employed in forming an army in th e n e i g h , . bourhood of Brefcia, to oppofe an expelled invafion of the Ruffians. The want of proviii6ns has compelled part of the French troops, in Dalmaua, to mire in fmall detach. ments to Friuli. Prince Kurakin, ihe new Ruffian Ambalrador at Vienna, received difpatches, on the 2d of Fcbrusry, frosts General Michelfon, announcing, that after the defeat of the Ayan of Rudfchuck, and the occupation of that city by the Ruffians, a firong corps which was hallening to the fuccnur of the Ayan was met by the Ruffian Lieutenant General Milloradowach, and cut to pieces. There victories, which did not colt the Ruffians more than thirty men, reduced the whole of Wallachia into the hands of the Ruffians, excepting the town of Saurga, on the Danube, which they clofely insetted, and which was hourly expelled to furrender. Another Ruffian column had advanced towards Orfova, where it was expEted they would crofs the Danube into Servia. I The Ruffian flotilla, cornprifing 7o gun boats, has proceeded up the Danube as far as Orach. Corps of Referee are forming at Odeffa, under the Duke de Richelieu, and at Taganrog, under Ge neral Rofenberg ; and tranfporrs are in readinefs for their conveyance, to any point in which they may be wanted. Prince Gangarin, who lately arrived at Vienna, with difpatches from Peterfburgh, was the bearer of a letter from the Emperor Alexander to the Empe ror Francis, wl.:ch is !teed to have created great fenfation in the Auftrian Cabinet. The Emperor Alexander at the fame time addref fed letters to the Archduke; Charles and Ferdinand. Confiderable fupplies cf provifions are daily con veyed to Erfurt, and immenfe requifitions of grain have been ordered thither from all the furrounding country. The . garrifon of Stralfund has been reinforced by a body of troops from Yitadt ; the King of Sweden is expeeed there. The report of the French having thirty thoufand troops in Ff IUII is contradieted in feveral of the Au firian papers. _ _ The commerce of Venice is entire:y at an end ; I that of Triefle is fupported by fume Danes and 4me ricans. , • ' I Fifty thoufand linen weavers, in the mountains of Silefia, are Halving, in confequence of the want of 1 employment. The prohibition which the French have ordered againft the circulation of Berlin trea fury bills, has greatly increafed the general embar raffment in Silefia, Pi ulna, and Brandenburg. The Emperor Alexander has prohibited the expor tation of grain from his dominions, with the excep tion of a limited fupply to Sweden. A letter from the Hague, upon the authority of accounts from Vienna and Berlin, communicates the following particulais : '• Bonaparte is not idle, although his troops are in cantonments. Convinced of the difficulties he would have toencountel in his progrefs to the Ruffian ca pital, he is liated to be deviling with Talleyrand meafures for hinging about a general peace. Baron St. Vincent': journey from Vienna to Warfaw is un derltood to be intimately conflated with the attain. ment of that objeft. It is pofitively Paid that Tal leyrand fucceeded in expofing to his matter the dan gers a hick threatened him, while the Empetor of Auliria was allowed to remain neutral, and that the Court of Vienna has been required to declare for or ag tiort France, before the opening of the campaign 'in fpring. Bonaparte, on making the demand, is Rated to have employed the molt fubtle arguments. He declared he did not pref . ' the point becaufe he t wanted affillance to carry his plans into .effed, but ' becaufe he was affured that the declaration of Auftria in his favour would certainly bring about a general peace. It was obvious that England would continue to look to Aullria for the purpofe of keeping alive the flames of war, while that power remained neutral, and while the Ruffians were able to defend themfelves. On the contrary, were Auftria to declare as he urged her. and to make a common cattle with France, the reftoration of tranquillity would be certain. It was alfo reprefented to the Cabinet of Vienna that the Emperor Napoleon, on the eve of the firft engage ment with the Ruffians, fell on his knees, and made a folemn appeal to HFAVEK, that he fought only for peace. He is Rated to have pledged himfelf, that the King of Pruffia fhould be put in poffeffion of a greater part of his territory than he could hope for. Thus the junaion of thefe powers would preclude the poffibdity of future wars on the Continent. The Ottoman Porte would find complete fecurity, and with refped to Ruffia, the would, under Inch circum fiances, have but one courfe to take, and that would be, to concur in a general peace. England, conk querstly, left to herfeif, would of neceffity participate in the happy event. and Europe be finally enabled to enjoy a lifting repnfe." THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. • MONDAY, MARCH a.

The moll important of there journals is a fet of the Gazette to the 2111 ult. inclufive. The principal point of intelligence combined in thefe Gazettes, yelped* an Expedition of tome im portance, which has failed from the Texel, under the (command of General as IMPELS, and which feems to be intended rather to reinforce Come of the French or Dutch fettlements, than to attempt any awe lenterprize. The manner in which this Expedition efcaped from Port is worthy of remark :—it efcaped (hip by fhip ; the 101 l veffel of the Expedition failed the ,4th ult. The force is Rated to confiß of four frigates, with feveral tranfports ; the troops are all picked men, and the-Rorer had been previoufly fent off in American bottoms hired for the purple. The place of rendezvous is Rated to be the He of France. LGeneral Itistsolzs, the Commander in Chief, is a man of great military (kill, and we fhould conceive the final objea to be of tome importance, were it only from the circurnflance of his appointment. The Dutch Government fpared no effort to keep the very failing of the Expedition fecret. An Embargo was laid upon all the Batavian ports, and the molt vigi lant attention direded even to the Ming boat*. We will not at prefent exprefs our opinion upon the ulti mate objet of this enterprize : we will content our felves with exprefling our confidence as to the fafety of the Cape. The expedition of General CRAUFURD has happily anticipated that of General DA€WD€LS. Das wort.s, who is at the head of this expedition, is the General who commanded the right wing of the French and Dutch army, during the Duke of YORK'S attempt to penetrate into the interior of Hol land from the Helder. It was DAIRDRLS who, at the head of a detachment of troops and artillery. entered the Batavian Affembly, and changed the Govern. ment. A letter from the Hague, contained in one of the above Papers, mentions a molt ridiculous pafrage ; it is Rated that BONAPARTE, previonfly to a late attack on the Ruffians, commanded his army to make a folemn paufe, upon which he came forth to the centre of his front line, and throwing himfelf on his knees, made a folemn declaration that he fought only lot Peace; and that if fitayse would grant him the final vioory, he would reftore his kingdom to the King of PRUSSIA, and give the moll moderate terms to the Emperor ALEXANDIR ! We do not believe that BONAPARTIt is much_given to thefe kind of frisks, but have noticed the circumflance, becaufe, being contained in the Hague Gazette, it exprefres the ge. neral fentiment of the people of Holland. No mention is made in any of there journals of the reported battle on the 6th of February, but private letters from Rotterdam and the Hague, of the illth and 19th, Rate, that a rumour of a vietory obtained by the French, had prevailed for two or three days, but had been contradicted by authority. The Em peror Nevoe.smi, it is alfo Paid, had fuddenly repaired to Berlin, whence he was about to proceed towards the coati, to forward the ;ovation of Swedith Fume rani*. This latter Ratement we think highly impro bable. An American veffcl which has arri►ed in the River from Fluffing, brings an account of intelligence ha,- ittg arrived there from the feat of war in Poland, about the beginning of laft week, which had caufed a great fenfation among the con fiituted authorities along the coati, but nothing had been fuffered to tranfpire further than that there had been a battle fince that of the 25th of January, attended with confiderable flarglitcr, but it was not coufidered decifivc. GOTTENBURCH MAILS. Two argued this clay, viz. thole dated the 13th and 16th ult. They bring no accounts of any affirm fubfequent to the battle at Mohringen on the zsth of January. The details of that battle arc Rated in different letters, but afford little information in ad. dition to what we before Willed. The following may be confidered as containing all that was known at Dantzic fix days after the battle. DANrzlo, JAN. 31 —" A battle has taken place between the French and the combined Ruffian and Pruffian armies, near Mohringen and Saalfeld ; befides 4000 prifoners, the French have loft 6000 killed and wounded. The corps of Martha's Nev and BAR v•Dovre may be cor,fidered as cutoff, or difpc • fed and detlroyed. The Pruffians have entered Ml - MURAT and Blassoorve are Paid to be feverely wounded, and BosapArr • himfelf is lick at WarfAw of a nervous fever. GRAUDINTZ has been blockaded by Heflian and Darmftadt troops, but they have been forced to fly with lots. The Ruffians are laid to be in Calm ; the French will find fome culty in croffing the Viflula, with their cannon acd baggage, the bridge at Thorn is Paid to be carried away by the ice; this gives roots to hope'great thing; but no decifive battle has taken place as yet. We &oald hope the French right wing will not be able to retrieve the bad fituation of the left—the moll authen tic accounts !late the infurgents to be ',woo men. under DOMBROWSKI ; they are ill armed, and look miferable. 44 Such are the reports here. Some of the parti. culars are, perhaps, exaggerated I bet the general complexiors of the details is probably cowed." Another letter of the fame date eammunicatu the following particularcrefpatiog the, battle at Pain* on the 26th of December t " ICrigfrath Peyelin, who had been provident COLO. mitt oner to the Ruffian army, accounts for Buz Nov. ban not fupporting &atom at Pultulk in the fol. jawing way : Basttaszoy, who left Poltollt on the morning of the battle, wrote Bozmovos is, before de- parting, that all was loft, and advifed him to make the belt retreat he could immediately. Upon this BOXIIOVDIK, who was advancing, halted, and com. meneed his retreat. I fuppofe you will have heard KAMIMSICOT is grown infane, of which the foregoing is a proof. BVXHOVDEN has fince been recalled, and Bartosan commands in chief." THE SWEDES AND FRENCH.
