They state, that BONAPARTE left Dresden on the 7th, and, "it is believed," lie has proceeded towards Leipsic and Wittenberg. 'He bas t in fact, at length found it pru dent to take himself off, before the hurricane with which he is threatened bursts upon Dresden. He is aware that it is in the power of a treacherous ally (Bavaria for instance) by enacting the part of the Austrian Auxiliary corps last year, on the Berezyna, to endanger his personal safety. He may be therefore considered as on his way back to the " bosom of his fine country," and we shall not be surprised to hear of his sudden appearance in the Capital. Leipsic is' described as filled with French troops beyond all ex pectation, and yet we are left to wonder how they came there. On the 4th the French army is said to have occupied the same posititions in and around Dresdena-this may be true, but we are inclined to think, between that day and•the 7th, the greater part must have filed off to Leipsie• ' leaving only OumeoT and his 10,000 men to cover Dresden, as reported in the Gottenbergh intelligence of yesterday. The secret mission of General Caganrenakr, as it now appears, was intended to promote an insurrection in West phalia. Hehat been frightened away from Cassels however, and must inevitably be cut off in his retreat Mere Badinat The army of reserve, under AUGERS/W. which Mist have come up from Frankfort with great rapi dity, is now in full communication with the main French army, and the route is said to have been cleated a the Partizan Corps. Confused accounts continue to be given by the French Journalists of important successes, at all points, on the Elbe, and ampler details are promised—these, and such like ex pressionsi are now regularly substituted , for the vaun ting frippiry of the French 141etins—they are so far convenient that they serve to cover a defeat tole rably well: We shall heat of these successes, we have no doubt, in the neat Swedish Bulletins. On the side of Italy poor BEAUHAIINOIS is most scurvily treated—the enemy are " Merrily" rein forced, and they come upon him through " bye roar." All this proves that the inhabitants of Istria are not quite so loyal to the Napoleon dynasty as he could wish them to be—in truth the Austrians have re. rained all the spies in the country on their side. A Senatus Consult urn denouncesvengeance against any Frenchman, who shall swear allegiance to the Swedes as Lords paramount of the Islaod of Guadaloupe---another demonstration of the zeal with which the grand Corsican faction holds out to the deluded natives of France, a determfnation to preserve the integrity of the French Empire. Quoad Sweden and this country, this decree is a mere &wan: fawn. With' as good reason (i. e. no •eason at all) might the King of Great Britain ad tress the good men of Angers, Dunkirk, and Calais, is his subjects, and reclaim the richest provinces of France, as appurtenances, to the realm of England ! - ;uadaloupe is one of the numerous conquests of the 3ritish arms during' the war, and we are really at a oss to decide upon the reasons which prompted the - nention of the transfer to Sweden at this particular •risis.

A very great loss to us is the Staff Surgeon of the Division, Dr. GoanoN, formerly Surgeon of the 4th; he was dangerously wounded. " I understand that the Light and other Divisions went in in the same gallant stile, the French running away from their strong ground in every direction. Our brave fellows have moved on to places in the country, and the French pearantry have been kind and civil to thou, dieing them bread, cheat, and wine. They Jay they will voluntarily rum& me, and remain in their homes, if Me Spaniards and Portrpece do not corne into their tonatry ; but that if they do, they will leave it, after having destroyed every thing before them." Sir Thomas GRAHAM is arrived in town. He brought with him the French flag hoisted at the Castle of St. Sebastian's. • The private letters by the Gottenburgh Mail of yesterday, tend to confirm the report of the junction of Bavaria to the cause of the Allies. In one of them it is added, that Wirtemberg has connected herself with the same interest ; and it is observable, that the news, as to the revolution in the policy of the first of these kingdoms, is corroborated from Vienna where it is asserted that the intercourse with Augsburg is in nence re-established ; but there is not yet any o o ffi n Cral intelligence of such an event. The following are extracts from some of the letters : GOTTINSUILGO, OCTOM 5. " We hear that the negotiation for the restoration of Peace between England, Denmark, and Sweden, is resumed. It is also affirmed, that both Bavaria and Wirtemberg have abandoned France, and connected themselves with the Allies. Thes e part- Wartime* received, however, no official confirmation." • " V112'014, Sarr. " A rumour is confidently circulated, that a Convention has been entered into between Austria and Bavaria, under which a perfect accordance subsists between them fqr future co-operation against Bonaparte. The consequence has been, that Colonial produce has risen considerably in this market." " SAM? DATI. IA The Convention bas arrived, under which the best under stand*, subsists between this Court and that of Munich, and we have the satisfaction to say, that it is already acted upon , the chseseekhetween this city and Augsbutrfer the transit of goods, and the 6111.01111 Cit of letters, having been re-opened dace the anth Went.* BT the same Mail, letters from Salonica have been obtained of the 10th, and one letter from Smyrna of the 17th of Auguit. The extraordinary changes in the situation of Northern Europe have given great ac tivity to commerce at the former, and the whole of the' colonial produce which had been sent from this country in such abundance was disposed of. The letter from Smyrna states, that a number of Merchants from Vienna bad reached the port, and had entered into engagements to purchase the whole of the colonial produce in the warehouses of the traders ; and that a depression in the Exchange had been occa. sioned by the unexpected appearance in the hands of the buyers of bills on the British Government to the amount of £50,000. According to advice, from Petersburgh, the num% bee of the new levy in Russia was to be 180,0(X) men. The Exchange was at 15:-. Wainwicx, Oer. 19.—The two. persons who com mitted the robbery in this neighbourhood on the night of the 13th instant [See the STAR of 151h] have been discovered. Two well-dressed strangers had been observed here by Dr. LUARD. They had so managed the robbery as to escape the suspicion of others (hav ing hid their masks and smuck-frocks in the fields after the robbery, and returned by Fryer's-lane in their usual dress) ; but Dr. LVARD suspecting them, watched them narrowly, and at last observed one of them pick a handkerchief from the pocket of a pas senger. He had them instantly secured. On their persons and in their lodgings were found upwards of Jel 20 of the notes lost by the person robbed, who has sworn to them and some Stratford bills. The rob• bers have been fully committed. We hasten to correct a mistatement copied into the STAR of the 2d instant, from a morning paper :—lt was not the Boatswain of the ,FRIIYA ingate (a me ritorious and descrying officer) who was sentenced to be broke by the Court Martial alluded to, but the Boatswain of the FAWN. A Beaissvaies Mate of the FREYA was sentenced by the same Court Martial to receive 100 lashes and be confined 12 months for mutinous language. It was this circumstance pro. bably that occasioned the erroneous statement. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING, 1315. wtossasoat, ocrosaa 19.

[FROM THE PORTLAND Aaccis.] PARTICULARS OF THE CAPTURE OF THE BRIT/SII SHIP OF WAR BOXER. " On Monday the 6th instant, at 5 P.M. anchored in this harbour the United States brig Enterprise, (hue Lieutenant Wm. Burrows, commander) with his Britannic Majesty's brig Boxer, (late Capt. Blyth) her prize, of equal force, captured on the 5-h instant, after an action of 45 minutes ; the following particu lars of the engagement ale obtained from the Officers on beard the Enterprise " September sth, at 5 P.M. light winds from the N.N.W. Pentnaquid bearing north, eight miles dis tant saw a brig at anchor in shore, and made sail on a wind, with the larboard tacks on board. At bait past seven the brig weighed and fired Three shot at a fishing boat, for the purpose of ascertaining what we were (as we have since learnt.) At half-past eight the brig fired a shot as a challenge, and hoisted three English ensigns, and immediately bore up for us. At nine we tacked, kept away South, and prepared for action. At half past nine it fell calm, the enemy bearing N.N.W. distant four miles. At half-past 1 L a breeze sprung up from the S.W. which . gave us the weather-gage—we manceurred to the windward until 2 P.M. to try our sailing with the enemy, and ascertain liis force. At a quarter-past two P.M. we shortened s:4l, hoisted three ensigns, and fired a shot At the enemy. " At 31'. M. tacked and bore up for the enemy, taking him to be one of his Majesty's brigs of the largest size. At a quarter past three, the enemy being within half pistol-shot, gave three cheers, and com menced the action, by firing her starboard broadside./ We returned them five cheers, with our larboard side, when the action became general. At 20 minutes past 3 P. M. our brave Commander fell, and while lying on deck, refusing to be carried below, raised his head and requested — ' that the flag might never be struck.' At halt-past three we ranged a-head of the enemy, fired our stern chaser, rounded to on the starboard tack, and raked him with our starboard broadside.— At S 5 minutes past three, the enemy's main-top-mast and topsail-yard came down. We then set the fore sail, and took a position on his starboard bow, and continued •to rake him until 45 minutes past three, when he ceased tiring and called for quarters; saying, that as their colours were nailed, they could not haul them Gown. We took possession of the prize, which proved to be his Britannic Majesty's brig Boxer.— Sixty-four prisoners were taken, including 17 woun-1 ded. The number of the enemy killed cannot be exactly ascertained, as many were hove overboard be. fore we took possession, Captain Blyth being one of the slain, who tell in the early part of the action.— When the sword of the vanquished enemy was pre sented to the dying conqueror, he clasped his hands, and said.—' I'm satisfied, I die contented.' And then consented, nor till then would he consent, to be carried below. " Some of the Boxer's crew inform, that when she last left her port she had 115 picked men, for the purpose of taking the Enterprise, and that three were pit on board of a prize, and five, including the Doctor, were on shore at the island of Manhiggin, leaving on board when the action commenced 104 ; which account is corroborated by the muster.book found on board of the Boxer. The Enterprise had two men killed, and twelve wounded ; among the latter of whom were the Captait), who expired at twelve o'clock on the night following the action ; and midshipman Kervin Waters, also mortally, yet lan guishing. a The damage done to the two vessels in the action forms a most surprising contrast; for whereas the Boxer is literally cut to pieces, in sails, rigging, spars, hull, tkc. the Enterprise is in a situation to commence another action of the same kind immediately, if we except some injury done to some of her spars and rigging. which may require them to be replaced.— While we deeply lament the loss of our gallant Bur rows, we are proud to record the cool and determined courage and conduct of Lieutenant M'Call, his suc cessor to the command, as also that of all the rest of the brave officers and crew of the Enterprise, who, iq this b;illiagg affair ( hive placid At t grege4 41A.44c.f . . - • *EWE !: Idi tt elfirt . 41k eemilitilehl ahli to the vangiimbed enemy; 0111.11 hi while-ist etanbal.' - - —•- . tom*, 84 3 *EMBItit so. • LATab MOM LAKE • 01111A110. stases imseiesse st, The following is cheaply intelligens fireiskiii Br the mail of Wednesday evening, rah:ties to the ii* IT l i cent engagement on Lake Ontario : =TRACT OF A LErrak DATED MOUS.

A skirmish ensued in the village, with little effect upon us; after which be nitrated, having come within the reach of our =nom, be; never within musket-shot of our entrenchments.

He is supposed to have brought the whole of his force into the field but finding our position so strong, desisted from a general attack.— His force is withdrawn out of our reach into his strong holds." FROM sAcourrs UARROUR, AUGUST 2S. It appears by the latest accounts from this place, that General Wilkinson 'was preparing for some ex pedition on the Canada side of the Lake ; that be had reviewed the troops at that .station, who were supposed to be 4000 strong ; that CommodoreChauu cey had completed the repairs of his squadron, and was expected - to sail immediately, having added to his force the new schooner Sylph, mounting 20 guns. - - FROM LAKE RAIL We have nothing of a later date than was givea in our last. Commodore Perry was then on the Lake cruizing ; and it is highly probable, has bad a brush with the enemy ere this. In a cue of this kind, should our fleet prove victorious, it is said to be the intention of General Harrison to cooperate with him in an attack on Fort Malden,, for which purpose he says he out march 4000 regulars aad SOOO militia. An Ohio Paper of August 9th says, Fifteen Thou. sand of the Milit►a of the upper part of this State are novr on their march to join General Harrison. And in the State of New York, by the two late orders of his Excellency theGoiernor, about Fifteen Thousand of our Militia are ordered to be held in readiness for a tbreemoiths tour of duty. • On Saturday night, after the Glasgow Mail had changed hones at Polmout, the guard and coachman being much intoxicated, .the latter having dropt the reins, in endeavouring to recover them, fell from his seat, and the coach going over his head was killed on the spot.
