We believe no later Continental intelligence than that contained in them, has reached this coun try, and it is of confiderable im?ortance. 'I he intelligence arCouncei in our Paper of yeller day is confirmed. Holtilities have commenced be. tween, the Swedes and the French, and the latter have clofely invefied Straifund. The Swedes appear to have been taken completely by furprize, as it was only a Ihort time before the fortrefs was hemmed in, that a confiderable part of the garrifon failed for Seeden. The Paris Papers contain the 54th Bulletin. It wi'l be found in a pieceeding c.)lumn, along with c opi, us extra/ls from ihe Foreign Journalo in addi tion to thofc sliich are fuhjoined : PETERSBURGH, DEC. 23. The Emperor receives daily new tellimonies of the zeal that enlivens all degrees of his fubjeets to defend the empire. The city of Molcow gives r sco h-rfes for the tire of the army ; St. Peter (burgh gives one million of rubles ;it is laid, that Count Al is Oilf-ff has off:red one n,illir.ti and a half. Thefe examples are Hlowed by all different clAlfes, and tilt more the enemy pufhes forward, he will find the more difficulties to furmount. JAN 9.—An Appendix to the Court Gazette of this day contains the following extra Is of the lateft teports from the Itnpetial-armytin Poland : On the 25th of Noyember, Colonel lut kowllty, whb was potted in Blony, matched with three ftinadrons of buffers, one fquadron of PrutTtan cui. raillers, , and two hunched Ct &des. egainft till Ft euch van guard, which had fallen out from Suchatfchew. —At - Utratta, he left a fquadron of Prutli.in cuiraf fiefs and two pieces of fl)it.g artillet y, in an advanta geous pofition, as a lefetve. He found the enemy already drawn up in order of battle,.confifiing of fix regiments of 'cavalry and fix pieces of flying itTillery, exclufive of a thong corps of infantry, intended as a schrift. Notwithlianding this great fuperior forte, Colonel Int kow fief attacked the enemy, and after a hard battle conquered, and putfued him afterwards to Suchatfchew. The number killed was con fiderable on the Gde of the enemy, on the Ruffian fide five were killed and eleven wounded. The Bth December Co lima Ruffanovo drew forward with his fquadron of hnffars, and Captain Kulfch's company of Pagers to S.iksozim, in quell of the enemy, which be did not fall in with till he was returning ; he cut his way 11144 through the enemy's infantry with his. fqua dron ; but the company of Yager, (chaffeurs) was furrounded and already confidered as 1011, when fird denly the affair toetk ancther turn ; the valiant Cap tain Kulcfch wit only cut off the enemy, but drove him alfo from two forts, and platted him as far as Weich feln : here he a fecond time attacked the French, who had got in difut der, and endeavoured to fly, by get ting over the river in primes, (flat bottom boats), but loft thereby a confiderable number of men.— In the mean time two battalions of the enemy's in- fantty had taken poffeflion of the rbad to Itintirhov s ro, which Kulelch with his company, that had a few, cartridges left, were to pafs ; but this officer as judi. cious as valiant, took, intlead ,of patting the road, the wood to Golofimba, and after he paired %Vera, joined Major General Dorochow's detachment, and left the enemy waiting bellied to nn purpofe. The whole loft on this creation, on the Ruffian fide, amounts only to twenti.fi e x men, killed, wounded, and Mining. On the t tth December:Colonel Grekuw, with his regiment of Cr ffacs attacked the enemy, at • ,4kooizim, where he had placed ltimfelf behind Major General Doenehow's col ps, but was with 101 l chive') back, as alGr , fhtirtly after, the throng detach. megt . lie hat: polle d in bloeilin, to (tippet the one at Sakruizim, was ftbligcd to give way. The enemy's loft at this time, betides the number that was killed by the Cufracs with than pikes, confitted of one tali eer and,filtiten living Yager,. (rr chafh.uri.) that were taken partners. On the tsth December accounts were received that the enemy intended on the lilh ro make a general Attack on all the different plates !flat the Rttflian army had befet. 011 the 22.1 he went with a COllll ,ictithic force over the U ka, which has defended by (even battalions infantry, and tour iquadrcns cavalry, under comrand of talent. Gen. (341'121am, but thefe, after a brave defence, were rgitig td to give way to a fuperior number. Here the French, that were 30,0c0 men throng, commanded by Napoleon Bonaparte himfelf, were chive,' back, and Acjutant Sewn., befides others were taken prifoners. Afterwards happened feveral Ikurnilbes bet wren the via-polls, where the enemy, always with fol., was driven back, particularly at l'ulturk, where a ' , art of General Batnigten's troops were attacked by an enemy's corps, under command of General Souchet.

But as loon as the mat - clued !misery that flood behind him got an opportunity to play, the enemy, who loft a confiderable part •of their men by the grape 'Ault, were obliged to halt ; when the enemy afterwardil, endeavoured to ()Verdun this battery, General Be nigfen canted the whole of his right wing to change their front, and twice fent reinforcemenis to Major per.cral Barclai de Tolli. When the heat and vehe4 , sneney of the enemy were thus broken, Generil Benigfen refolv e d th a t h e hi m f e lf (h oti ld attack ;-L and made Lieutenant General Count Otlerman,tritti the HI of his infantry, draw forward to the eight: wing, and fupported him with ftrong batteries and twenty fquadrons of cavalry ; the remainder ,of the cavalry was placed in the centre, ire order to keep the enemy's eavairy at a diflance. The French defended ilicinielves defperately, but were at lad totally rowed, and forced to leave the field. According to the pri loners' reports, All:: enemy had in this• battle above 6pco men killed. The lofs on the Ruffian fide amounts to isoo, or at molt 2000 men.
