It brings various accounts of the battle of the 14th, of which we have for Come time known the difallrous refult. We fubjoin one letter to Thew the nature of the rumours circulated in the North. N LUND, NOV. 1. " All the accounts received here from Stralfund, Stettin, dm mention the battle of Auerfladt as hav ing been obtained chiefly by treachery ; nothing could exceed the determined bravery with which the Pruf• flaps fought, animated by the pretence of their King and the venerable Duke of Brunfwkk ; every inch of ground was contefted, and notwithllanding the fuperior numbers of the French, they would cer tainly have been driven off the field but for the perfidy of General —, who prefented an open • A K in the corps which he commanded, into which the enemy poured a column of infantry, and get. ting into the rear of the Prufflan army, threw it into confufino. He is now under arreft, as well as three other Officers fulpefted of the fame condo°, and I will be brought to a Court Martial, as Coon as one can be held: I have heard the names of there traitors, but do not mention them for fear of a miftake. " Our oppofite neighbours, at Copenhagen, are a good deal alarmed at the profpett which this event p►efents to them ; already do they anticipate the lofs of Holftein, and the (hutting of the Sound. " I have jail feen another letter from Stralfund, which mentions that General has been hanged; HAOGWITZ is alfo reported to have been melted." The Hamburgh Mail, due yeßetlay, has not yet arrived, but carious rumours, felling on the autho rity of flip mallets, who left the Fibe in hale for fear of being detained by a French force expelled there, arc in circulation. When theft verde came away it was underßood the French were in polrellion of Hanover, and a (mall corps had arrived at Burgßode, two polls from Stade. The Hanoverian polliltions have refurned their red uniform ; and the (entry boxes, which the PrufGans had painted blue, have been painted black by the Hanoverian Adminiftration. The circulation of the Pruffian money, which was enforced in Hanover Sy a Decree of his Pr ufrian Ma. jelly, has ceafed fince the refult of the battle of the 14th became known in that Electorate. The Senate a Hamburgh have, by direfiinn of the French Relident there, ordered the Prultan re cruiting party to quit that city. The arms of his Majelly have likewife been terni , ved from the doors of the feveral Priam; ellablanients these. Great nombe , s of women and children have been fent fi om Magdeburgh, by the Elbe to Hamburgh. Magdeburgh is filmed in a plain, and water lies fo near the furface, as mull gscatly retard any works that the enemy may undertake BRAM' it. It apretrs that the Proffian and &UM regiments which paired through Gottingen on the ;MN ts;th, and wilt ult. marched in the bell and moll eonneaed order, accompanied by a heavy train of artillery. We are informed that there is not a veflige re• morning of the village of Auerllault, where the battle of the ,4th was fought. Althvugh the Elellor of Saxony continues to Wide it Drtfdat, be tent off all his trenfute to Breflaw.—: A fcarcity bordering on famine prevails in Franco nia. Frefh troops trim the interior of France daily crops the Rhine, to reinforce their army in Germany. All the treafure, public records, Arc. were removed horn Berlin to Stettin, previous to the arrival of the French at the former. Tbc Dachals of Brunfwick•Oels has arrived atHam burgh. with a crowd of Pruffian and Saxon fugitives of dillinaion. The reigning Duke and Ducbefs of Orange. and the Hereditary Prince of Orange (fitter to the late King of PruiEa), the Hereditary Print, fs of Btanf wick, aad Prince Augullus, have arrived at Roarbck. The Printers of Orange, on receiving the news of her hatband being made prifoner by the French at Er furt, was prematurely taken in labour, and delivered of a deal child. The Hereditary Prince, and the Ductal's Dowager of Weimar, are at Schwerin. Mon of the French troops in Upper Italy and Ve• nice have marched to Naples, where the infurgents continue unfubdued, and, it is added, on fome recent occafions, have been victorious. Saturday a Captain WHITS, who was taken by a French privateer off Lowcfloft, on the 7th ult. and carried into Dunkirk, artired in town from Hien chants on the Erns, having cffeEled his efcape thro' Holland. He reports that he faw a letter at Emb.. den, on Sunday, from a Commiffara with the Dutch army in Hanover, dated the z6th, which (fated that a large body of Ruffian cavalry arrived at Kalifch, in PrufGan Poland, tat the zoth September, and con-, tinned its route to Burcka and Liffa ; that another column had, on the z3d, reached Oelffe, four pulls from Brcflaw, and that Wartenberg, Kempen, Weil• kie, Widawa, and all the towns from thence to War law, were crowded with Ruffians advancing to the theatre of war. It is Paid that the French have fent a corps to take pnffcffion of Swedith Pomerania. This intelligence ' is likely to prove true, if the event has not already taken place. Stettin, it is likewife Paid, is lnveflcd by the French, and about to be bombarded. There are fevers' thoufand Prullian troops (hut up in it.— They belonged, it is fuppofed, to the retreating army under Prince Hones Loma. There are reports brought by perfons jut% arrived from the Continent, that a confiderable body of Ruf fians had attually joined the Prnffians. This we !Call be very happy to confirm, but it is certainly prema tore. By Mir time, perhaps, fome part of the Ruffians may have joined. With refpedl to the Ruffian army of the advance, of which we have fo frequently heard, no very precife or authentic information has yet been received. It is raid that BONAPARTI has aaully conferred, by an Imperial Decree, the Duchy of Brunfwick on Idarthal Sooz.r. We hardly believe it. He may take poffefflon of the Duke's territories, but to create a new French Duke by the fame title, would be Come what too much. Saturday a number of letters were received at the rod Office from Varel, Bremen, &s. brought by the Hope, Martha, Three Brothers, &c. We have Peen feveral of them, from which we have made a few ex traSs ; but they do not lumina aey fatisfaeory infor mation, as to the pofitions of the Pruffian armies. In the battle of the t4th, the Prudians and French feveral times tame in con( x& ; and on every occarion the French gave way. This fa& we colleet from a letter. which notices the gafconading accounts in the French Journals of the atchievements of their caval ry. In that memorable fight, a marked Saxon bat tery made dreadful havock among the French, whole Ids is reprefented to have been very eonfiderable. The magazines which the French took at Hoff, were fufficient for the [apply of their army for feveral days. Three hundred waggons were employed to remove them to the head quarters. A letter from Riga, of the 7th 011ober, received by a mercantile houfe in the City on Saturday, lays, " Yeflerday twenty thnufar,d of our troops marched " through this place; and this day eighty thoufand " more marched through ; all to join the Pruffian " Army againa the French." A letter from Hamburgh, dated Nov. I, rays— .' The terror incpired by the French arms cannot be eafily dercribed. It has been confiderably increafed by the ignorance which prevails of the defigns and refources of his Pruffian Majefty. Of the force which he has Ilill with him, or he may enabled to called, we can form no cones opinion. For a week paft we have received no letters from Rtiffia, Pruffia, or Saxony, the mails ditpatched from hence (or there part: having been fent back, and the ['ruffian !ln a-ice having given notice that 'to letters tot them ran be received at prelem. 1 lie commiffionets eze. toting orders for the interiurs, as well as the ban kers here under acceptances, are deprived of remit tances; fo that ludas an immediate change takes place, the moil ferious confequences may be eves% el As all navigation upwards on the Elbe is Oup. ped, no (ales can be made, and burnish is totally at an end. " It is now akertained that the *plisse returned by the Emperor Napoleon to the Duke of Bruntwiek's folieitation for having the neutrality ()ibis territories acknowledged was, that the Doke, by being a Ge neral in the fervice of Pruffia, bad deprived bimf it of rai claims and pretenrions as au independent Prince —the King of Holland had taken poffetwo of Ofaa bruck In his own name. The whole of the Briar, vac!s either here or lying in the river between this putt and Blankenefe, including the Taft arrivals from London, Hull, and Leith, does not conlift of more than nineteen. The mails from this place of the 24th and aBth ult. for PrufGa, Raffia, &c. have been brought back, and this morning the poll mailer gave regular notice that he cannot any longer take charge of letters for there countries." GENERAL MIRANDA. The reports relpaling the fate of the enterprize I undertaken by MIRANDA arc very contradiftory.— Let ters from Barbadoes, received by way of Glafgow, of the date of nth September, Rate, that he had been completely faced - slut, had taken leveret places, and had received fuceoars from Trinidad ;—but on the other hand, the Prce Ls fchooner, of to guns, arrived at Plymouth from th.: Spanifh Main, is re ported to have brought official accounts to Govern ment of the entire defeat of Mamma. It is Paid that he was attacked in the poll which be occu pied at Coro, by the Spanifh Governor, who bad collated fifteen hundred men that he has (ince arrived at Trinidad, with (emelt two hundred men, and that had it not been for the protelion afforded him by the Lilly (loop of war, his retreat would have been impraeicable. Shouldibe faa be as Hated, we are not without hopes that he will renew his enterprife, and with better means. The attempt he has made has thewn that the Spanifh Government in that quarter has but little chance of repelling any refire/table force. The Duke of Yolk arrived at Windfbr on Sator. day morning and tranfaded bufinefs with his Ma y ISTY I afterwards rode with his Majesty and Prin. cedes, &c. as did the Duke of Kepi.. The Duke of Yes% left Windfor in the evening for Oatlands, and Duke of Kett's. for London. Yeßerday morning his Maiessr paraded the Royal Regiment or Horfe Guards (Blues), and King's Own Royal Stafford Militia, in Windfor Court yard, attended by the Duke of Ca II BRIDGE, Generals FITZROY BOYLE, and WRATH ItI•LL, Count M oat -!

Her MAJUITY and Princeffes Es.. and Maar had Divine Service performed in the Palace ; afterwards went to Frogmore, and returned with his MAIRSTY. On Friday lag the Duchefs of You came to town to her new houte in the Stable-yard, St. James's, and in the evening returned to Oatlands. On Friday at twelve o'clock, Lord Aura LAND held a Board of Trade at the Office in Whitehall, till two, when he went to the Foreign Office, and met Lord HOLLAND, and the American Ambaffaclors, Mr. Mosta° and Mr. Placcusr, upon the dtfputes between this Country and America I they continued their de- liberations till four o'clock. On Saturday the Lords of his forfajefly's moll Ho nourable Privy Council. held a meeting at the Tres fury Chamber. Whitehall. when the bufinefs of Tri nidad was taken into confideration. Yefferday noon a Ruffian Meffenger arrived at Baron IstocoLas's houfe, with difpatches, from St. Peterfburgh. Ha was alto the bearer of difpatches from Mr.Sravraav, the Britith Secretary of Legation at that Court. The bleifenger came by the way of Gottenburgh.

There are now there the tfl and sd battalions of the 6th foot, the 13th and 26th regiments, and the Surrey and South Lincoln Militia. The s4th from Shorn• cliffe was expeted to reach Dover as this day. - The Cornifh Miners marched from Dover to Deal on Saturday. The sgth Regiment have marched into Hilfea Barracks, to be embarked for Jarnsica but they are fo generally salted with the Ophilsehi:is, that they cannot go for the indent. A Court Martial is fitting in Portfmnuth garrifon, on Captain J. cf the 3111 Regiment, for fending a challenge to Capt. LODGE, of the fame Re giment, and afterwards for Ariking him on their parade, in the prefence of the regiment.

Saturday,lerters were received at the Poll Office from Nese York, Charlefton, Philadelphia, and Hali fax. The French (hips continued in the Chefapeak. The =after of a veirel arrived at Charlefton, fr. m St. Daningo, mentions that the Haytians were making formidable preparations for another expedition again& that city, and that feversl of the inhabitants, doubt. ful as to its means of defence, had left the place. The New York Papers contain a lung account of the rnaffacre which took place at St. Domingo in May lan. The following is given in a New Yolk Paper as the extra& from a Journal kept on board the brig Aftive, Captain &ace, in twenty days from Point Petre, Guadeloupe. " Atrau.z aB.—A privateer of 30 guns, and tser men, failed from Laguira with 154 troops, under the command of the Captain of this port, to co operate with the Spaniards againit Miranda. Sept. e 3, a heavy gale of wind, but no danger done in Point Petre among the (hipping, but confiderable in the country by blowing down trees. On the '4th failed from Petre. On the 19th, in lat. at, so. long. 6r. fell in with the above-mentioned privateer, after hav ing landed her troops in Laguira, who informed us that Miranda had met with a revere repulfe from the Spaniards, and compelled to retreat to his (hipping for flicker, and had no hopes of fucceeding, unle& he had a force of an or so,ooo men." By papers from Barbadoes to the end of Septem ber, we learns that three Engla frigates lately ap peered of Aquadello, and were fending their boats on (bore for water, when the batteries, under the command of Don Marna'. Da LA Ansa, of the Spa nith Marine, opened a heavy fire on them. The fri gates immediately stood in, and, after a heavy can nonading, filenced the batteries. We had four men killed, and the Spaniards thirteen. The (hip Britith 'far, Capt. GORDON, of from the coat• of Africa, with 216 flaves, was taken to windward of Barbadoes early in September by a French privateer rchponer, of te guns and tao men, r and carried into Guadeloupe. Letters have been received from the Weft Indies, mentioning a very gallant aftion to have been fought by the Anton, of 4+ guns, with the Foudroyant, of 84, bearing the flag of the French Admiral Via- LAV/411Z. On the igth of September, the Anion, while cruizing off the Havannah, dikovered the Foudroyant, with the tuts of her fore and main top matt, making for that port. Captain LYDIARD mediately gave chace, and a fmart firing caned, but the enemy was fo f..rtunate as to efcape under the proteftion of the batteries. Captain L. continued for from time to exchange fire both with the Fou. droyant and the batteries. The Aaron (offered much in her malts and rigging, and had two men killed ! and ts wounded. The French had so killed and wounded, and there is no doubt, from the erippied Rate of the Foudroyant, that the would have been either taken or funk, had the been met by the Anion at a greater diftanee from the (bore. Three (hips from London. bound to Surinam, the Neptune, Britannia, and Pitmans Charlotta, were captured and carried into Guadaloupe on the rft of Augui, by the French privateer Mummer Jesse Advil', of 14 guns, and 130 IMO. r
