I FRENCH PifPERS. LEIPZIC. AUGUST Ss. The churches of Dresden are filled with &mien and Prussian . wounded. Three Generals form a part of the prisoners made on the 27th. MILAN, SEPTEMBER 9. According to the last reports which we have re. ceived the enemy suffered much in the affair at Va. loch, but what is unheard of, and what we hardly know how to characterise, that after having first sit fire to the town to effect his retreat, he a fterwards bu.rnt the bridge and the suburbs on the left bank, which remained in his power. The conduct observed by the Italian troops on this occasion was truly noble and touching ; whilst a part of them opposed the enemy's, the other worked the tamps, ancLemployed every means to arrest the progress of the Pte. When the inhabitants were informed that the four corners of the town had been set on fire by orders of the enemy's General, who could not forgive their affec. tion and fidelity towards their Sovereign, they could hardly persuade themselves that that General had carried iris fatal threat into execution. On the even ing previous to his retreat he said to them will set your town on lire." COPENHAGEN, AUGUST 28. According to an order from his Majesty, published by the Supreme Tribunal of*Gluckstadt, the com munication between the Duchy of Holstein and the country of Mecklenberg is forbidden, under existing circumstances, under very severe penalties. DRESDEN, AUGUST 28. A great number of French troops, proceeding to Bohemia, continue to defile through our gates.— Our city has suffered little in the critical circum stances in which the genius of the Emperor excited fresh admiration. BANIBBRG, SEPTEMBER 3. We successively receive very interesting details respecting the memorable events which passes in the neighbourhood of Dresden the latter end of fast month. The enemy, in losing the fine position of Dolma, Where the Emperor of Austria slept from the 24th to' the 27th, - Saw all their plan deranged- 7 - that position was carried by main force. We are also assured that a dangerous wound which Prince Schwartzenberg received at the com 7, misicement of the action on the 27th, greatly con tiibuted to carry disorder into the Austrian ranks. It is said that General Kienau has taken, ad interim, the command of the aii;trians, and the Russian Ge -leril Count Wagencein that of the Allied Armies. ' appeared that the three Allied Sovereigns made haste to jeluiti to Prague, but Without their armies, and that t:.cy will there deliberate upon the pan they ought to take.

Yesterday, in a Seciind edition, we tutted the arrival of Mr. Kay o a King's Messenger, at Lord BATH LiIiSTNI Office ift Downing-street, with Dispatches firm Field Marshal the Marepis at WELLiNcrrow.— AMA. KAY does not bring his Lordship's account of the, surrender of the Castle of St. Sebastian's, as was etiKeted, for he left St. Sebastian's on the Bth, and embarked 'on board the PRESIDENT frigate, which tailed on the morning of thi 9th. Still, however, we Ito sionht tf the fact of she surrender, upon the authority 'if the follonsing circumstances, related by MA , ,ON and the Officers of the IiaIIHMENT : On the Sth, the French Commandant requested a parley ; and intimated a wish to surrender, on being permitted to march uut with the honours of war, and be conveyed with his troops and baggage to France. This was refused, and an hour fixed for the uncon- ditional stkrrender of the Castle. Within three mi nutes of the expiration of the limited time, the French colours were seen to be hauled down, and before the Paraunns sailed, the Spanish flag was seen flying, and 4 salute, which appeared to be !had in celebra tion of the capture was heard. • Since writing the above we have received the fel- Umiak Bulletin or Official Communication from the Admiralty, which puts the matter beyond all doubt : " ADMIRALTY OFFICE, SEAT. " Hh Majesty's ship Paisrrourt; Captain MASON, sat ed from St, Sebastian% on the evenin of the, qtb : "At five in the morning of that day, Sir 6BORQE aa board the, • • Pningan't with a private note to Captai • MAsoir, stating—' The Ciptie will surrender to.clay r .a salute g will annotmce it.' 44 Captain Kum; states, that at noon a salute was fired, and when the PRESIDENT stood in shore, at two P. M. the Spanish flag was flying on the Castle. 66 No official dispatches later than the 7th hive been received by the Prigamewr." The Pasithawr anchored in Cawsand Bay on Tuesday morning, and having landed General Pic. TON and another Officer, proceeded to Portsmouth. It was the DisPAux gun-brig which brought Major HARE with the dispatches, published in the Extraor dinary Gazette. There is a remarkable coincidence between that part of Sir THOMAS GRAhAM's dispatches, which details the sanguinary conflict at the breach of St. Sebastian, and the following passage in SHAKESPEARE. It is the Duke of YollK's description of the gallant behaviour of his Sons in HENRY VI. : " My Sons, GOD knolvs what path become of them I But this I know, they have demeaned themselves Like men born to renown, by life or death ! Three times did Ric ',palm a lane to me, • And thrice cried, courage, father ! fight it out : And full as oft came Entvaan to my side, With purple falehion painted to the hilt In blood of those that had encountered him: And when the stoutest warriors did retire, Rlc tt Alt D cried charge! and give no foot of pound! With this, we charged again : but out alas, We bodged again : as I have seen a Swan With bootless labour swim against the tide, Ana spend her strength with overmatching waves !" The following is the only official account el Gene ral-Btu:lmes great victory in Silesia wYch has as yet reached us. It is denominated thy: Battle of Katsbach, and seems to have been the consequence of a desperate effort of the French to turn the posi tions of the Allied Armies in Silesia. The attack was made upon the Prussians, under BLUCUER, and the Russian corps, under LANGEVON and SACKEN re spectively. The French were repulsed at all points : FOREIF;N OFFICE, SEPT. is. Abstract of a Letter from an Officer of General Divot En's Staff, dated Brechtelschaf, near. Jauer, August 26, at Midnight-- “ We have today obtained a victory. We had made our dispositions to attack, and were going to put t!lem in execution, when we were inform. ed of the enemy's columns advancing upon us across the Katzbach. We instantly changed our pl.tn—ce ncealed our columns behind some lbw hills, merely I hewing our advanced guard, and appeared' to act 'oil the defensive. Ut on this, the enemy attacked with great vio lence, la hen we moved forward with rapidity from behind she hills. Fora moment, the battle was at a stand. We brought more cavalry into action ;at lasts masses of our infantry attacked the enemy with the bayonet, and precipitated him down the deep decli •ity to the rivt r Katzbach. 46 Thi Russian General SACKSN supported us ad mirably. The enemy's attack upon General LAN• agaws position was frustrated by our attacking the enemy's rear. A great deal of artillery is in our hands. It is midnight, and we have nt , t yet aster taiued the number. This battle is called the battle of Katzbach." We learn by a communication which we have re ceived from Deal, that six vessels laden with heavy rrdnance have received the most urgent orders to proceed to Passage . without one moment's delay.— Are these guns for the purpose of hastening the fall of Pampluna ? or, are they intended to be employed in fortifying the Passes ?—Perhaps both objects are in contemplation. His Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE is ex. petted at Bushy on Saturday. from his tour with his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT. Yesterday, at half-past two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, which con tinued sitting until half-past five. There were pre sent the Earls of LIVERPOOL, BATHURST, and WEsT szotu..tun, the Cnaticatz.oa of the EXCHEQUER, Lord &MOUTH, CASTLEREAGH, and MELVILLE. After the Council, dispatches were forwarded to his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT. Yesterday Lord BURGHERSH transacted business with the Ministers at the Foreign Office, preparatory to his departure for the Continent. His Lordship intends leaving Town this day. Yesterday Lord MELVILLE held a Levee at his Of fice at the Admiralty : there were present Captains RATHROAM, RESSEI,L, MAPLES, and CUTHBERT. Yesterday a Board of Assistants for Greenwich Hospital was held at the Admiralty. The First Lord of the Admiralty has postponed his Levees for a fortnight. We understand that the (Ice of Laureat has, by the express desire of his Royal Highness the PRINCE Reozwr, been tendered, in the most handsome and flattering manner, to Mr. WALTER SCOTT, and de clined by that distinguished poet, from motives not less creditable to his literary character, than to the gracious partiality with which he has been honoured by his Royal Highness. In a paragraph, near the commencement of the Austrian Manifesto, there is a typographical error, which considerably obscures the sense. In the words , s the struggle which awaited Prussia," instead of " Prussia," read 41 the Conuarrx sloop of war, which has arrived 'from Santander, brought a report that Pamplona was greatly distressed for provisions, the grain being exhausted, and the garrison reduced to lire upon bone-&43.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED BASSETERRE, AUADA- LOUPE, JULY 28, RECEIVED IN GLANGUW. " At Martinique much damage was done by the hurricane : 42 vessels stranded, hospital and barracks blown down, &c. At Dominica, the Government House, Court House, and many houses were blown down ; the hospital at Morne Bruce blown'over the cliff, and 70 sick soldiers in it, who were all either killed or wounded. The vessels in Dominica Roads mere blown dui to sea, and the wrecks of several ves sels have been fallen in with. Three men have been brought in here, two belonging to vessels of Point-a- 1 Petre, and one to a sloop from Dominica." Mr. BROUGIIAM has met with an unlucky accident , while travelling on the Northern Circuit. He was overturned a few days ago in a post-chaise near New castle, and much bruised. Sunday last, as Lord C. Sommarr was driving two of his suns in a curticle, near Brighton, the horses accidentally cook fright in descending the hill near Newtimber, and ran with such violence against the turnpike-house %v . :licit divides the Henfield and New-' timber roads, that they beat in the whole front of the house. His Lordship and one of the young Gen- tlemen were thrown over the gate on the right hand of tie house, and the other'young Gentleman on the left. They were all bruised ; and his Lordship was very much cut upon the face and herd, but no seri ous injury is apprehended. One of the horses was dreadfully mangled, the other escaped almost un hurt, by having entered at the door of the house. A dreadful accident happened on Saturday last, to a man in the employ of a paper-maker at Wo burn, who, reaching over a vat of hot water, fell par tially in, and was most dreadftilly scalded. The ttn fortunate man ran to his home in great agony, and there lingered till Thursday last, when he expired, in a state of delirium. Sunday afternoon last, as Mr. HAWKER, a very re spectable butchet, near the Turnpike, Clapton, was riding down the Lea-bridee road, he was overtaken by a post chaise, coming at a most furious rate, and before he could cross the road to avoid it, was struck on the back• by the pole of the chaise, and expired in consequence the next morning at six o'clock. Saturday se'nnight Mr. JAMES WOOD, a young Midshipman belonging to the YORK, 74 (cruizing off West Capel), and a native a Plymouth, was unfortu nately killed by falling frt,m the rigging under the main-top on the quarter.deck, by which his skull was so fractured as to caute his immediate death.

EDMONTON FAlL—This Statute Fair commenced on Tuesday, and attracted, as usual, a vast body of folks from London and the villages contiguous. The wonders exhibited were in the greater part those seen recently at: Bartholomew Fair. Several Recruiting Parties picked up a number of fine fellows, well dis posed to become soldiers. The men parading with ribbons, while the drum and fife, playing " How happy's the soldier who lira ao his pad, Gs And spends half-a•erown out of el:pesos a-esy," produced a gay effect, and gave the fair an interesting martial character. This is the only statute near Limdon where men and women servants attend to be hired. Many rustics, assembled fur that purpose, brought to recollection the scene in Bickerstai 's Opera of Love ix a Page. The females appeared petuliarly clean and seat, while the carters, plough- To ), etc. flourished their wl}ips its the best style, NAPAL LVTELLIGINCL ARIL Due.
