This gallant achievement was performed by a small squadron, consisting of the Anise, of 44 guns, and the Areohusa, Latolm, and Frs rd. of 33 each. We stated, in a former pa per, that a disposition had been maniflstel in the Island,to place itself under the protettlyon of the By i tish Government ; and, with that iropresiinn,theexpe dition was fitted out at Jam 4:CS.under the command of °apt.

We received, Lest night, French Papers to the 13th, and Dutch to the 17th instant. Boa .se •RT I appears determined to resume his career on t'e ether side of the Vistula, in the Spring, with An overwhelming force. The accounts from Frank- fon, Harrower, Berlin, &c. continue to announce the march of troops. to join the Grand Army in Poland. lie is not only calling to his aid every soldier that can be drawn from France, Italy, and Ilelland, but swelling his ranks with the population of the recently cot quered countries. A; we stated in a former paper, it was not the severity of the season, but the fear of the Russian army, that arrested his ca reer beyond the Vistula, and obliged him to put his props there into wiener quarters. The army in Silesia is actively employed in reducing the re maining fortresses of that country, and another part of his farce is employed to reduce Dantsic and Grandeur;. The siege of the latter place was un dertaken on the 10 h of January, but no inspree si•ot h. been made upon it up to the 40ib. The i•.. 'it the army engaged in these operations as susceptible of cold as the rest of his and equally in need of the comfort of quarters. The abuse so lavishly bestowed in• the Paris Papers, upon the Russian Genet als, by betraying the disappointmeand vexation of the • rrer.ch, evince their disco re. KA XISSIC,Y is represented as an old dotard, invested with the chief command, on account of the jealomy that subsists between BosteGsais and Burro:saw o EN, the former of whom is described as equally imbecile as AIIIVISKUY t and BOSHOSVOIN is SSW to be a General of no note. It is absurd to suppose, that the Emperor of Ri.s.s• would confide bi► army to officers of this description. No, it is r.ot the incapacity of the Russian Generals that 2 , AI provoked these foul dander.. The pm. &nee, the skill, and the valour said: they . have sllsrlayed in the campaign. arc the :cat cause of all this rancour. In the same spirit of falsehood, and to excite jealousy and distrust, the French Papers lament the imprudence of England culti vating the alliance of Russia, and thus promoting her views in the S luth of Europe.—Our commerce and our possessions in India, we are told, will be endangered, should these views of Russia be carried ii.to ell - ca.—The boast in the fifty-fourth Bulletin, in our Paper of Thursday last, SS" iog that PI piec.:s of cannon, taken at Pultu.k, G adotned the walls of War.aw on the 27th, appears also to have been fabricated in the same spirit of imposttns. It is asserted in other articles is the Paris Pal et s, that the cannon aban doned by the Russians in the battle of Pultusk, still remain on the field, it being found impossible, from the depth and badness of the roads, to remove them. The Illonitere, and other Paris l'apers, have repeatedly asset t. d, since t begin:l:rig (.1 this month, that the Porte had declared war again:t R How/ever dithered heir stat meats may frequently be, by falsehood and misrepresentation, we have for some time credited this report ; because, if false, it could answer no purpose, but th.t of exposing those who fabricated it to contempt and ridicule. Thee fifty-fifth Bulletin asserts this mea• sure of the Porte, is positive terwas. h. alio gives an account of the affair at Mohringen, on times with ass" IDOT T COTph from whial it at>, . pears, that the French had little to boast upon that occasion. The justification of the young Prince of SAza CrIBOURO has weed ineffectuaL—The ob. ieczion that he served the enemies of France, still remains, and his country has accordingly bets taken possession of by the French. This last intel ligence is stated in the Dutch Papers. They con ti.in nothing else of any interest. We have also received Harihurgh Papers to the 11111, from which we have made a few eztsacts.
