The truth is, that the have never rested at the poiitions which were indicated to them on their march. They have always been forced in their position., tnJ were obliged to go to bad three or four league further off. It results from the acknowledgement( or the English themselves, that during the siege of naiad of Burgos, they had 25(X) men rendered unfit for service, which makes the total. loss of the, English army, in their expedition against Burgos, t v.unt to it R)0 men and 600 horses.

The latter contains, principally, eulo punts on the conduct of particular ollicers and corps. FILOMI:1m Lowlife Rata; Nov. 23.—According to private intelligence from the theatre of war in the Grand Army has Again gained a glorious trtory over the Ressians: the letter are reported to hare lost 19 Generals. We expect ulterior intelli gence respecting this events. The intelligence from Russia, of the state of the contending armies, most have considerably changed th opinion of those who considered the affairs of the Emperor A t.r...xiwnett as irretrievable. The Tweaty-eiglith French Bulletin arriving nt the same time, enables us to form a tolerably , accurate judg ment of the difficulties, and, we may add, of the dangers the French army has to encounter in its re treat. Were it possible for BONAPARTE to make good a retreat through so hostile a country, encom passed with so many harassing circumstances from an active enemy, and sorely pinched by the soveri!ies of flimate, he will have surpa , “e.l his own rained Gen- MOREAU, in that part of the military character, and lave fully equalled the renonn of a Xywornow.— The Grecian reader, however, ' had not to cr,m plain of the annoyance of weather, which, in this instance, hasinnde so Mighty a haveck on that no ble and patient animal the horse.

The Junen British frigate, which had arrived with dispatches from Sir J. B. WARREN, left New York a day or two before the departure of this vessel, with an answer to the said dispatches. The Sispure packet was lying off New York, and expected to sail shortly for England. SlR,—Another burst burst of exultation in the defeat of ' the French by the Russians, has manifested itself this day, in the busy faces, the important smilii,. and self-approving hugs, of the Ministerialista and their party; and if a victory,. of the magnitude which it is said has been gained (for as yet it may be reason- • We stop the Press 10 state, that the Desiree hi ably doubted, whether we.ought to attach full con- • !We, of 36 guns, .bararrised at Yarmouth, from the • idence to the entlntsiataic statements before us, or coast of Hoßaud.
