NELIGOLAND MAIL. I ALTONA, SEPTEMBER 29. As we have again for several days past been totally deprived of all kind of German intelligence, it is not in our power to satisfy the curiosity of our readers concerning the situation of affairs on the other side get the Elbe, even in the most distant manner. From the frontiers of Lauenburg we learn, that the cotnbined French' and Danish army have taken a rtmcentrated position betweisa the Stekenitz and Pa kenitz. According to certain information received from Eretin, the - French Geneva Thibault entered that city-on the 25th inst. with three squadrons. FRENCH PAPERS. DOCUMENTS RELATIVE TO AUSTRIA. [CcINTINUID TKOS& OCR LAST.] NO. 10-ICsTRACT Of A DISPATCH PROM COUNT OTTO t .: : ,. L TO THE JILNISTER FOR FORFMN AFFAIRS. Vienna, I eth December, IBM MoliseiGNEtiß—l yesterday received, by an extra ordinary courier, the dispatches with which your Ex cellency honoured me on the id, 4th, and sth De cember, and I hastened to communicate to the Au strian Covet nment the impi,rtant intelligence which those dispatches contained. They were received with the most lively interest. Your Excellency will have seen, by.my last dispatches, how much they en &avow ed here to exaggerate the losses which we have suffered. The embarrassment of the Count De Metternich was so visible, that I can only attribute it to the interest which he Likes in our success. He bad the appearance of fearing for the alliance, and forgot himself several times so far, as to tell me, that if Austria adopted another part, she would in a short time see 50,000,000 of men on her side. Ac cording to him all Germany, all Italy, would de clare for her. So strange . an insinuation could only have. have been in consequence of propositions ad dressed to him from abroad, And the impressions which the debates of the Council at which he assisted, bad left on him. TlL'y think to do us a particular favour by refusing to take arms against us at a mo *silent when they suppose us less strong than the Rus sians. I can only oppose to such opinions a cairn attitude, and efinfidence in the superiority of France, so justly acquired, and which passing reverses cannot take from her. The greatest efforts are made to gain Austria. They offer her Italy, the Illyrian Pro. vinces, the Supremacy of Germany ; in short, the re establishment of the ancient splendour of the Im perial Crown. NO. 2...--EXTRACT OF A DISPATCH FROM THE SAME TO THE SAME.' Vienna, Dec. 28, 1812. I MONSEIGNEUR — However afflicting the picture of what is pAssing here may be, it is my duty to submit ra it without an disguise. It is perhaps without example, that the Members of the Gm etitment of a groat Power should have c nceived tie ilea of aba.;(l.-nini: an Ally, after a first rtverse„ to j.,in the colours of its enemy. It is, however, in this manner, that the greater number of men of influence in this country have dared te, 'k, i immedi „ter) , alter the intelligence of the retreat of our army. They hastenel to circumvent tbe Cabinet by all r•ei means which intrigue and corruption are able to direct against good faith. They have represented to it, thee. Pranctliaving no lolger an army, it would be absurd to wish to singly support the war against the Rusdan Colossus; that the Court of- Berlin was not in a condition to cotithrie its armaments ; that Bavaria, the Duchy of Warsaw, and Saxony, were drained of men and money ; that the N , rth ot Ger many was ready to hoist the standard of revolt ; that c usequently it was necessary to rec.ll the auxiliary corps, to change the system, and tike advantage of a moment so favourable to retake the lost Provinces; that more than 50,000,000 of men were ready to de clare for Austria, and make a common cause with bet; that France herself was on the eve of a great revolution; and that the moment had arrived ft a. re storing to nations'their incieat laws and their inde pendence. In raving against France, the faction has not for viten to attack, in every manner, the first partizan bf French alliance, Count Metternich. Not a day passes without some new means being invented to discredit him ; and it openly announces that he will be le placed by M. de Stadion. (Signed) OTTO. blO. S.—EXTRACT OF A DISPATCH .PItOM THE SAME TO THE SADI E. Vienna, January 3. MOWSZIGNEOIt—The Ministry has again repeated to me that measures have been taken to render move able the troops from Gallacia and Transylvania, and that Count Bubna was the bearer to France of the de. tails of this armament. They still think that this General Officer will be agreeable to his Majesty, and that he will till diplomatic functions at Paris, although be w. .s at first sent but as the bearer of a letter. Your Excellency will have srten, by all my preced ing repors, that the present %var is unpopular in Au qtria,bdt Government has had sufficient firmness to maintain the system of alliance, and it may he said, that the late reverses have brat served to confirm its dispositions. The re-establishment of peace is actually the wish dearest to Austria. 66 TA! us frankly, has the Minister fiequently repeated to me, what. vcu in tend to do, and place us in the situation of acting to. wards you as a good ally, and towards the others as an in iependtut Power.

City Bank, ASS meth Interest from the sth July last. • We this day continue our extracts from the Moni tor of the Officill Documents relative to .the diplo matic intercourse between France and Austria; but the - object of the French Cabinet in publishing them, cannot easily be discovered. It is probable that their first object is to persuade the good people of France how very ill used he has been. Perhaps, also, he expects, though this is scarcely possible, to operate a similar conviction in the minds of the Memberi of the Rhenish Confederation :—But whatever may have been the motive of their publication, the docu ments are highly consolatory to Europe, inasmuch as they prove, that the deep intrigues of NAPOLEON are now mtt with a degree of address which sets the can ning of the French Cabinet at defiance. On the face of the documents it appears, that Om. was completely deceived. This conclusion is un avoidable, whether we admit Count NierrEmitcH to have been a true and loyal subject to Austria, or, as OTTO would insinuate, as the steady friend and warm partizan of France : if the former, he succeeded in veiling so completely the real views and objects of the Cabinet of Vienna, that OTTO could not penetrate them ; if he was the latter, METTERNICH himself must have been kept in the dark by his own employers.— I In other words, his predilections being known to his Master, he was made a tool to deceive OTTO. Coruna Papers to the Bth of October, arrived this morning. They do not furnish us witil any commu nications from the Grand Allied Army in the Pyre. nees, later than those which we have al: . uady received. Pamploni held out on the 21st ultino. From the South of Spain we learn, however, that SucHEr is te. tiring towards France with 15,0f.)0 men, being the whole army now left him, and lc:port states, that be to succeed SOULT in the command of the Ftench Army of Spain. Soma. is again reported t' have aeen sent for to Dresden. The Duke del PtuQw' with tile . 3cl Spanish Army, is marching along the Ebro to join Lord WELLINGTON.. This army at the same time watches &caves retrograde movements. Great preparations are making by the French to fur tify Barcelona, but the Spanish =counts state confi dently, that it is untel!able, and add, that they are capable of blockading it without rn:zch exertion ; SUCIIET hal/frig left there a prris,,n et 11,000 men only. The Spaniards have taken the fortified place of Denia, in Valencia. A Heligoland mail arrived last night, brought to Harwich by the Auckland pack& A variety of re. purts have been, as usual, picked up by the passen gers at Heligoland, but none of them are worthy of any credit. By the Hydra transport, the arrival of which from Quebec we noticed yesterday, we have received the following interesting particulars respecting the recent operation of S it JAMES YEo's squadron on the Lakes in Canada.—Our Readers will perceive, that we are not yet able to confirm or refute the report of the an niltilsktion of the enemy's force in that 'quarter, as Circulated a few days since. On the 10th of August the enemy's squadron, under CommodPre got under way froth their :Anchorage off the Niagara River, and stood towards oar fleet, which were be calmed at Twelve Mile Creek. *At sunset a breeze sprung up, when our squ'adroai stood for Them, on whic'h they immediately bore away under a crowd of - sail, and formed a long line, the Pike, Madison, Oneida, and six schooners. '►wo schooners were placed to windward, for the purpose of raking our squadron as they came up. At eleven the squadron got within gun-shot of the schooners, when they opened a brisk are, but, from their going so fast, it was more than an hour before the WOLF, our headmost ship, ' could pass them.—At this time the rest of the squa dron were two and three miles astern of the Wolf, and on her coming up with the Madison - and Pike, they made sail, firing their stern chasers, Sir J. YEo found it impots'ble to' get the squadron up with the enemy, as the Woui was the only ship_ which could keep up with them, and made sail between them and the two schooners to windward, which he captured, and which are called the Jalia and Growler, each carrying one gun and forty men. —,Two of the enemy's largest schormrrs; the Scourge of 10, and Hamilton of 8 guns, upset on the night of the 9th, in 'carrying sail s and their crews (t.►o) perished. By this loss and ciptuie the enemy's squad:On are reduced* to ten vessels, and ours increased to eight. It is ascertained that the Pike mounts '2B 24 7 potinders and 420 men, and the Madison 22 32-pounders and 310 men : the WOLF has not received any material injury, and not a person an board her hurt. On the 11th August the prisoners' were landed, and the Growler's da mages repaired : she had lost her. bowsprit, and was otherwise much cut up. ,44j01 • TTENBURGH MAILS. FUWFHER SUCCESSES OF THE ALLIES. This morning two Gottenburgh Mails arrived, and also Captain BLOOMFIELD, with Dispatches for Go. vernraent. The intelligence is highly . gratifyingois will be seen from the following details. The packet tg left Gottenburgh on the sth instant. On the 17th ultimo, NAPOLEON in person attacked the post of the Allies at Nollendorf, but was repulsed by the Austrians with the lou of seven cannon, one eagle, and 4000 prisoners, including a General. The whole loss of the enemy since the rupture of the Ar mistice is estimated at above 100,000 men, besides • cannon and baggage. 44 GOTTENBURGH, OCTOBER 5. 46 A letter received from Stralsund on the 30th ultimo says. 4 I have just time to say, that the Al lies have taken Pigon.'—Pigon is about ten miles from Leipsic. . " Accounts from the same quarter state that they are in daily ispectation of the fall of Stettin. The garrison, being very much in want of provisions, has already offered to capitulate, but their terms were not accepted." BERLIN GAZETTE.--(Extra Paper.) ,4 We have just received the following from Head quarters at Toplitz, dated September 20 : 66 The Imperial Major-General Baron Schluter has executed the order given him to march on Freiburg, with that precision and courage for which he is so well known. He posted himself, on the evening of the I7th instant, in ambush, at Bertzdorf, near Frei burg, and by that means appeared unexpectedly be fore the gates, early on the morning of the 18th. 44 The enemy had shut . up the town ) * and all the gates were manned with infantry. if General Schluter caused several divisions to advance by circuitous roads against the Musner and Dona gates, whilst he himself led the main column against the Erbersdorf gate. The enemy defended himself with great obstinacy ; but at length the Er bersdorf gate was brake open, and some,divisions of cavalry immediately galloped into the town, and after a short resistance, made the garrison prisoners. " General Bruno, 20 Staff and superior Officers, 4:00 mounted hussars, and 228 infastry, fell into our hands. Our total lose consists in one yager killed, and three wounded. • " General Schluter praiSei the distinguished con duct of his troops, of all descriptions; arid makes very particular mention of, the 7th yager battalion Colonel Von Voyder and Lieutenant-Colonel Anger_ rnayer, of that battalion ; Captains Devaux and Wusthott, (If the regiment (.f . Vincent's light horse; and Lieutt .a:•Colonel Martine, of the General Staffs have higl;l:.. .listinguished themselves." The Stralsund Papzrs, of the 25th and 6th of September, contain Two BOLLRTINS froM the CROWN Pun:cr. The forma. mentions, 'that — in the night be tween the 16th and 17th two companies of the regi- 1 ment ANA Napoleoa, consisting .of 164* men, with a Chief of Battalion and two Officers, deserted to the advance..l pcsta of tue Crown Prince, near Bredinitz : they wire eatriA to thF Head-quarters of his High ness, whence they will be sent back to Spain. The second Bulletin, among other things, states, laud on the 17.11, the Emperor N..poleon, in person, atrAcked the post of Nollendorf, in the Bohemian Passes; 'but was repulsed by the Austrian Generale, t:miloredo and .Heir, with the loss of seven piec,:s of cann.m, one standard,. and 4000 prisoners; among tom is the General of Brigade Kreutzer. Since the conclusion of the Armistice, the Uni ted Northern German Armies have taken above , 28,000 prisoners. From the 17th August to the 18th September, 18,257 private soldiers, and 299 Officers, prisoners, have passed through Berlin. Above 2000 were on their way thither. Between 2000 and 3000 sick have been left in the hospi tals of Juterbock, Treuenbrizesen, Belziz, and Bran denburg ; and the corps of Count Wallmoden, which sends its prisoners to Stralst.nd, has taken above 4000. When to these are added the killed, wounded, and missing, the loss of the army acting against the Northern German army, may be estimated at nearly 4.5,000 men since the 17th August. ___ The prisoners made by General Blucher, and the Grand Bohemian Army, amount to 40,000. With. out exaggeration, therefore, the whole loss of the enemy, since the late commencement of hostilities, may be estimated at more than 100,000 men, and 250 pieces of cannon. If, as every thing seems to lead us to expect• Bavaria and Wurtemburg should join the Allies, NAPOLEON will not have more than 150,000 French to employ in the field. French. Papen to the 10th have arrived ; but their contents are not of sufficient importance to induce a delay in our publication. It is understood, that shortly after the meeting of Parliament, a message will be sent down by the PRINCE REQICNT, recommending a provision for an extended establishment for the PRINCESS CHARLOTTE, to take effect from the 7th of ;January next, when her Royal Highness having attained the age fixed by her yal Father, and the other competent Authorities, for her maturity, should be enabled to assume and maintain an independent household, on a scale cor responding with !.er elevated rank in the State.
