Mini himself attacked the rear with his malty, and CRUCHAGA, his brave associate, ad vanced on their front. The gallant CSUCHAGA was airsdly wounded by a cannon ball, which for a while limped the ardour of his troops, who had followed Lim into the heat of the action with und muted enthu assin. He was still able, however, to animate them by lie voice, and they succeeded at length in driving tke French before them in great disorder. Sixty wag gons with wounded French, besides a great quantity if baggage, fell into the bands of the Guerillas on this occasion. Next day, when the intelligence of Clucamm's death was made known to the troops. they renewed their pursuit of the French columns seith similar success, and on the 23d they completely succeeded in diiving them into Pampeluna. The loss of the French in these actions was 4.00 killed, that of the Spaniards only 18. The gallant MINA received a rnihket-ball through his thigh, but his wound is not dangains, An &holt Mail arrived this morning, with intel ligence of considerable interest. An Embargo has b een bid on all vessels in the Swedish ports, prepa friery to their being taken up as transports, for some rand expedition. The letters from Gottenburgh, which are to the 19th instant, state that the Russians 1 continued their retreat; and that BIBILNADOTTZ hai a considerable share in advising this line of scy, intending to take the held in person the in ,* the French army is far enough advanced in lonia, to render an attack - in the rear a project likely b be crowned with success. The best possible Understanding continues to subsist htveen the Russian, Swedish, and English official 'hurter*. The intelligence from dm-seat of actual warfare is, 81 might be expected, not so recent as that which our arrivals of French papers afforded. From Berlin, h vover, we learn, that the Austrian contingency, 3440 strong, commanded by Prince SW ARTZLW islet full march for Russian Poland. The hum from several parts of the North of Eu "Pe Stare, that the cold has been so intense of late as b resemble winter, a circumstance which confirms tie accounts of the losses sustained by the French tawdry The unfortunate Danes have been dreadful illerers of late by this, as well as the other calamities frith which they have been visited since they declared Air adherence to France.

One which we have seen states, that the French army, which had advanced with such unexpected rapidity, had as unexpectedly retreated again with some precipitation from Wilna. --Whether the desolate state in which the Russians left the country, and a consequent want in obtain ing sustenance for his army has had any influence in determining Narat.zost to adopt this measure, is not stated, but wethink ithighlyprobable. One of theletters states, that 5000 Prussians had gone over to the Rus sians, taking with them all their baggage and artillery; and adds, that they shot the French General, who bad the command of them. It is possible that this may be only a new version of the fact with which we were before acqualdted, that two regiments had de.. sated from the French, but the fact is thus farther confirmed, and tends to shew what kind of reliance NaPtaLsox mayplace upon the German contingencies. c have but little to add to the particulars com municated yesterday on the subject of the rencontre between the BELVIDERA and the American squadron. It gives us pleasure to state, however, that the des patches from Admiral Shwvaa afford no grounds for supposing that the apparently ho;tile act of the Americans originated in any fresh instructions or proceeded from any other motive, than that of merely chacing away from certain limits all British ships of war, in pursuance of a resolution of Congress of long standing. That this is the complexion in which the affair is regarded by the British Ministers, was evi dent, from what fell from the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER yesterday, in Downing -street, when he was waited upon by a Deputation of American Mer chants, who a ere thrown into a state of alarm by the intelligence as at first communicated. While such is the temperate conduct of our own Cabinet, every thing inclines us to believe, that the short interval, between the adoption of warlike reso lutions in America, and the communication of the repeal of the Orders in Council, has been occupied in attempts, even by the war party, to soften down their resentments ; and the intelligence from the United States, within these few days past, has been of a na tut...particularly interesting. In the House of Repre sentatives, a Bill has originated and sent to the Senate for concurrence, which authorises a declara tion of War against this country. A great deal of discussion has taken place in the Lower House, as well as in the Senate ; and to preserve what the de mocrati c arty call consistency; they pretend that it is the voice of the People who call loudly for this measure. Mr. MADISON, in order 'to keep up the minds of the people to the war tone, is particularly urgent that this measure should be pursued to the natant that mareventually produce his re-election it, the office of Chief Magistrate of the Union ; he will, therefore, second every effort to that intent ; but, at the same time, reserve to himself the check, by with-, holding his signature from the hostile instrument—a sanction which is necessary to render it an efficient measure. The Constitution of the United States requires the President's signature within ten days after the Bill has passed both Houses ; at the ex piration of which time, he must return the Bill, and if not signed, he is obliged to give his reasons for re. fusing the Presidential signature; then, both Houses of Congress are obliged to re-consider the Bill, and if two-thirds of both branches acquiesce in the measure, it then becomes a law of the land, without the Pre sidential signature. But we are well assured, that the President will not sign a Bill authorising a Declaration of War against this country. We know that the country at large are not dispoied for war with Great Britain. We well know the American Government has not the means of going to war, and we can positively state, and our information may be relied on, that the Go vernment have not made any preparations indicative of war whereby they could act even lefauively, much less to think of any affenrisv operation:, nay we may add with safety, that the present Administration of the United States of America build their hopes of continuance in Office, by keeping at peace with this country, however they may be necessitated to sound the Warhoop, for electioneering purposes. Yesterday, at half-past two o'clock, his Royal Highness the PRINOR RRGENT held a Privy Council at Carlton House, which was attended by the Lord President of the Council, the Lord Privy Seal, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Master-General of the Ordnance, the Secretaries of State for the Home and War Depart. meats, the President of the Board of Controul, and the Lord Chamberlain.

The last ship was chased, of Portland, by a French privateer. Mrs. WARRAND, wife of Lieutenant WARRAND of r the St*LARK, was on board that ship in the action with la Ville de Caen, off the Start, and assisted the Surgeon in dressing the wounded of the brave fellows who were brought below. The SEALARK'S people were washing clothes, &c. when the signal was made to slip her cables. The hurry of getting under weigh, and the shortness of the distance the SEALARK had to run, rendered the latter rather unprepared for board ing. The man at the helm was wounded, turned in consequence the tiller the wrong way, and the SRA. LARK went on board the enemy in such a position, that she could not bring any of her guns to bear. In this situation twelve brave men boarded, and with monkey's tails (short bolts,) and other the first wea- 1 ports that came to hand, spread destruction over the enemy's deck. The French prisoners who arrived at Plymouth in the MaLrosteux frigate have not been put on shore ; and it is understood that they will be sent to Ma lain. There are 120 of these unfortunate captives, a great number of whom have lost arms and legs, or are dreadfully cut up. One poor fellow has lost both eyes, and most of Ms nose; yet he bears his misfor tunes with admirable :ang froid, and goes unassisted to different parts of the ship : indeed, none of his fel low-captives seem disposed to assist each other. The common bond of union which generally links man to man, and particularly fellow-soldiers and sufferers together, seem to have no existence among the French under the glorious Napoleon dynasty ! On the 20th of June last, Captain Wyse, of the Modesty, which arrived at Waterford on the 20th in. scant, spoke the wreck of the b r ig Polly, o f B oston , i n lat. S. 56. N. long. 37. 40. W. and took off two men, who had subsisted for one hundred and ninq one days on the wreck, during which period they had eaten one of their companions. The Polly sailed from Boston lon the 12th of December, bound to Santa Cruz, in the West Indies. On the 15th she sprung a leak, carried away all her masts, and upset, by which. Mr. J. S. HUNT, Supercargo, and a negro girl, were lost. The brig afterwards righted, but, of the crew, which, including passengers, consisted of nine persons, seven perished upon the wreck, and the other two must have inevitably shared the same fate, had they not been fortunately extricated from a state of unexampled 'suffering and peril, by Captain Wu& s • , EAST IND/AMEN. Intelligence was this dAy received at the India House, swing, that his Mijesty's ship JAI,/ parted from the MARCHIONESS or Etv, AeoLto, and E eL Howe, ontward-bound, on the 28. h June last, in lat. 21. 50.

Wednesday, a detachment of the King's German Legion embarked at Cork on board t,e Fir trans p et, for their depot at Harwich. Thursday, the third regiment of Mid Lnthi •n local militia, commanded by la.iitenant-Colonel Comtnan. dant Sir 0101102 CLCAtIty_B at were reviewed at the Cintls, by Lreutenarn-Colonel Sir JAMFII G. BAIRD / Bart. who repressed hi approbation of the appear ance and discipline of the corps. Friday, the Royal Edinburgh Volontets, with ther company ot Sharpshooters, commanded by rit Right H n arable CHARLEY Hoer, were reviewed ow Burntsfield Links, by the sante fficer. They Made an excellent appearance, :Ind went through V.stir dif• ferent manoeuvres in a masterly manner. Last week, one or the men belonging to the Stan. nary corps of Artillery, then on dlr.) at Plymouth Dock, entered on beard the Armide frigate, in lieu of another, and was to receive a large bounty. Being traced, however, a party was sent alter him on board the Armide, and he was sent off to Launeest• n, iii Cornwall, to be imprisoned, under the escort of a s-r: jeant and three privates. Having arrived a ithin three m:les of Liskeard, he gave them the start, and got off, a though three muskets were discharged at him by the party. His Majesty's ship DAUNTLEN Captain BARBER. sailed from Cork on the 221 ins•. with the Christiana and Jane transports, with provisions for our fleets at Lisbon and C4diz. Notice was nu Saturday given from the Post Of. fice, that in future the packets between Great Britain and Sweden, instead of proceeding to Anholt, or any neutral territory, will clear out for Guttenburgh, a: usual, when perfect tranquillity subsists between the two countries. • Admiral MARTIN, one of the most active and in. telligent Officers in our service, is at Riga, assisting the Governor in strengthening and improving the fortifications of the city. He has been received with' the greatest respect and attention by all ranks of people. A duel took place a few d2ys since between two Gentlemen, a Mr. E— and Mr. G—, both of the City, in consequence of a dispute at Bernet Races. After an exchange of two shuts each, the seconds interfered, and the dispute was amicably set tel. I. Friday and Saturday was played, in the Shooting Field of Eton College, a grand match of cri c ket, between the Gentlemen Tutors of Eton College, and the Gentlemen of the St. John's Club, which was won by the Gentlemen of Eton by 49. r GENERAL PRILIPPON.—S.iturd 4 V evening the Tor. lowing persons were apprehended at Rye and" Win. chelsea, who were preaumed to be principally con cerned in aiding General Pineteerm in his escape from this Country to France, viz.—Hughes, the landlord of the Lion Inn at Rye, and the Post-master of that town Roktuen, the person who, it is said, accompanied the French General from Oswestry, and who went with him in the boat to the French shore; Settee and 'limner, the two smugglers who carried the General over. The track of PHILIPPON was traced to Rye, by thevigiiance and activity of Vickery and Pearkes, of the Bow -street Office. The offenders underwent a private examina. tion yesterday, at the Bow.strret Office, and were remanded to prison for a further examination. It hath appeared from the evidence of one of these men, that a scheme had been laid for entrapping General SARRAEIN, who was to have been invited to an enter. tainment, and then -seized and gagged, and carried to the coast, in order to be transported to the French shore. The perpetrators were to have had a reward of resooo sterling for this base business, which was only frustrated by the apprehension of one of the par ties, that General Sanaa= would be executed on his arrival in France, and to that conscientious scra. pie be is now, perhaps, indebted for his exigence. The Funeral of the Count and Countess D'An. TRAIOCES took place yesterday with all due solace. • nity.
