They stated that on the sth inst. the French succeeded, aftet two most obstinate and sanguinary engagements, in carrying the towns of Zah n. and da, and on the 6th made a general attack on the l'russiatis with 70,000 men. For several hours the tat ter supported the repeated efforts of the enemy, wit -without a Leavy logs, but with invincible constancy, till the CROWN rfttNcE, who had hastened back on hearing what had oc cured, arrived with 76 battalions, 1(4000 cavalry and 150 pieces of cannon, whom be instantly formed into co )<uintrs of attack. The French, however, did not Nvait apr (rad). but at the tir,t appearance of the reinforcements ought up, commenced their retreat. Assailed by the C, sacks and the re . ,u'ar cavalry, their rear was soon thrown into di! . order, and up to the loth inst. they hnd lost 10,000 irtis , ,ners, So pie( cs of cannon, 400 ammunition wag..!ons, cc Fair of colours, and one standard. They had divided into two bodies, one of which fell back towards Dresden Lni • the other to To - gau.

In it, his Eminence, not knowing, exactly how to justify the epithet of si,blitne" which he had applied to the '' genius" of his raster, tepiesents his fortifying the Saxon capital as the chief tiroot of sublimity given in the course at this campaign AN ith mnie ti uth he might have adduced it as a pledge of his fea. s and of his weakness.

American Papers to the '2Bth of July, were received in town this %reek. Their contents are not of much importAnce. The American Government have at last been compelled to own to the Congress, that" the pretended revocation of the Milan and Berlin decrees by lIVONAPARTE, was a fablica. tion, but they have not dared 'o venture even an expression of disapprobation at so unheard of conduct. They how ever assure their fellow citizens that the war with England has been accompanied by any closer or secret connec tion with the French Government ; and that the just demands of the Americans for the spoilatians their commerce has suf fered from the French will be urged with becoming dignity t Several Bills for the increase of the army and of the eve nue have been introduced in the House of Representatives, but on the wl.ole the military ardour of these doughty Repub. ficans appears to be considerably damped, and the severity of the measures against the English has been in a great mea sute relaxed. A repott has been since prevailing, that the Embargo Act rejected before in the 'z;enate, had been since adopted with some modifications. Letters from Altona, of the I 4th, 16th, 17th, and 18th inst. were received last Thursday, and •all agreed in stating, that BCON A P RT Ein person, had brought up strong rein forcements to act agaitist the CROWN PRINCE, whose entcz pri ing spirit and repeated succeses began to alarm him ; that he succeeded in tbrcing his way as far as Jutterbock, the seat of the battle of the C.th,• but that on the Loth a general, and most ,ongninary engagement took place, in which he was defeated w.th the loss of 60,000 men killed, wounded, and tdien ; that being cut off from the Dresden road, he fled with 12,000 guarth to Magdeburg, and that Dresden was expected to fa;l ithttnrdias !y. We regret to find by the CROWN PRINCE'S 12th Bulletin given in last night's Gazette, and dated. the futh inst. the very thy on which the h t le was s ated to have taken place, that the rem) t was unf ended, as the position of the armies was not such as to render a general engagement likely to oc cur immediately in that qual ter. As the Allies have re-en tered Sax , nty from Bohemia, it is possible however that an a:ticm may have been fought about that time . in that di- rection.
