Resides the Russian ships of war, an English fri. gate and cutter have been far some months cruising of our harbour. and they rigidly search all vessels passing and repassing. Early this morning they were attacked. a short league to the westward of this harbour. by 7 large gun-boats fitted out at Venice. The a,ftion continued till one in the after noon, with what success is net known here, because a fog intercepted the •iew. Upwards of 1,500 can non-shot were fired. The fire of musketry was likewise brisk. as the gun-boats were probably well manned. About noon this firing seemed to become more and mare distant. To-morrow we shall, doubtless, learn the particulars of the whin. 'APRS Of Till hIAINK, bee. 30. The property acknowledgeJ to be English, say accounts from Leipzig, is now delivered up, and has been deposited in the arsenal of %is city. It amounts in the whole to an inconsiderable sum, and should the English make reprisals on the commerce of Saxony, there would bss a large balance in their favour. It has been proved, in an authentic meinnir, that Saxony has &math oa Enhod for some principal articles, as linens, cobalt, &c. to the mount of 620.000 &Mars, and this only rel rtLs to what is known at Leipzig. With' mpett to the E,glish wares, which have become, by payment, the property of. Leipzig merchants, a srmonctrance -oneerning these has been made to the French Em peror. The hostile measures against English com modities and manufatlitres, is extended to all the principal towns of Saxony. In the capital, the amount of English goods, most of which were already sold, was 60,000 dollars. sgieLts, jaw. 3. The ratifications of the Treaties lately concluded at Posen, between His Majesty the Emperor of the French and King of Italy, and their Excellencies tiie Dukes of Saxe Weimar, Gotha, Muningen, lichrtighausen, and Cohnurg, were exchanged at Berlin on the 30th of December, between General (lake, Governor-General of Berlin, &c. nn the one side, and the Plenipotentiaries of those Princes n the other. Barracks are preparing here to lodge the troops which are to form our garrison. It is thought that these troops will be those of the Grand Duke of Nassau Weilberg. The Volunteers of the Emperor are still here, they are all young men, of good fa mly, and who maintain themselves at their own ex pence: they form three companies, commanded by M Nforknorarny, and are constantly exercised every day. TLe telegraph announces that Breslau is in pos s• ssion of the French. On the 26th December. the standard of the No bility of the Palatinate of Posen WAS consecrated at that place. WARSAW, DEC. 25. The Emperor set out for the advanced posts on Tuesday, at five o'clock in the morning ; he passed the night at 'abloom, at the house of Prince Joseph Poniatowskr. The same day a bridge was con structed over the Wrka, at the place where it CA% into the Bog. The R ussians were forced from two Islands where they had entrenched themselves.— That day the Emperor slept at Okunim ; the fol lowing (the 2141) the Russians were driven from their positions at Pomikowo and Cyarnowo; they fell back and joined a corps of 10 or 14,000 men, posted at Nasselsk. This corps was beaten, some prisoners and three pieces cf cannon were taken from the enemy. His Majesty passed the night at Nas selsk. The Austrians permit to pass freely the pro vi.ions drawn from their country for the use of the each army. DRFSORN, DEC. 28. All is perfeetly tranquil in Bohemia. the troops are returned to their former garrisons, and have been placed upon the peace establishment. The letters from Vienna speak of nothing but peace. The con tingent of Saxony, destined for the Grand Army, is forming, and gives undoubted proofs of the senti ments which actuate it. NCIDIMBEIIG, DEC. 29. Letters, which we have just received from Vienna, state, that the Archduke Ferdinand has sunk under his malady, and died at the age of 5^ years. The same letters add, that the Arc! Jukes of Austria will in future assume the title of Imperial Highness. Letters from Jassy announce that the Russians have occupied Choceim with the consent of the Porte. AIJOSZUIIICIt, DEC. 2S. Brannan is again open for the course of the post and travellers, !Art only daring the day. The fortress remains :inn at night. Every stranger who visits Brannan received at the gate by a :ens d'urtne who accompanies him wherever he goes while he re mains in she city. The garrison is estimated at 4000 men. SANK{ 0! TNt SLIM JAN. S. In a public paper we find the following observa tion :—From the position taken by the French army, after passing the Vistula, it appears that the Rus sians hare qiiitted the mouth of the Bug, and that they are aot in force in that quarter ; their principal army is now posted on the frontiers of Lithuania. A letter from Anclam, without date, inserted in a public print, says, among other things :—Mat shat Monier, who has hitherto been engaged in augructv ing his army, is about to enter Swedish Pomerania with his corps, and to surround Stralsund. The Swedes appear to be prepared for this event.— Lieutcnant•General Baron d'Armfcld is at their head. The Swedish troops in Stralsund are com puted to be equal in number to the army marching against that plate. But Marshal Monier is con. tinually receiving large reinforcements from Italy, France and Holland, and is particularly in want of artillery. A raps of S3uo Swedes has taken possession of the Island of &Igen, the tan giest of which has always been one of the principal pints previous to an attack on Stralsund. It has been rumoured, that the troops in Silesia, under the command of Prince Jerome, hare received orders to repair to Warsaw, and that the siege of firesl 11.1 has of course been raised; but this intelli gence wants confirmation. According to a letter from Lent'xrg, it is not a few reginsents,but a considerable corps of Austrian troops, principally Hungarians, that are advancing towards the frontiers of Gallicia. KONIGSEZRO, DEC. IS. The public are uneasy with respta to the heal f Her Majesty the Queen, who is ill of a nervous fever. Her situatior„ however, is not dangerous: And as this fever has n-A yet been attended with any ball symptoms, hopes of her speedy recovery are en. tertained. It is said, that two columns of French troops are on their march, one towards Thorn, and the other towards this city, which many people z:e quitting, to go to Memel, and even beyond th, kontiers. z tmacno, DEC. 23. The following was the posi;iun' of the. Grand French Army, after it had passed Warsaw in fur. suit of the Russians:—Prince Murat was 31. tls head of the advariced guard. Ile had under Ins command five divisions of cavalry, vie. the corp s o f Generals Beaumont, Klein, Mi!t.,u•!, Nalisno:i, and I laurpolt. Theo followed three divisions of fantry, via, those of Morand, Friand, and and a division of cavalry, the v.-hole rirnmand,d Ly General Viallanne. The corps ot the army o f Marshals Davoust and Augereau follow'd these divisions. The corps of Marshal Lams covered the left wing on the side of Thorn, and the corps Marshals Bernadette and Souk, comm coded by the Emperor Napoleon himself, farmed the centre. General Baron D'Essen commands one of the three Russian armies. The Army of Reserve, formed near Kiow, is under the coriamand of Ge neral Count Buxhowlea. °. • We have lately detected and de sated several ao.w ir sa to substitute another P.aper far Tag Betatin Parts,.

LONDON, FRIDAY, JANtuair 23. The Anieri!lin ship Alas vats. Mimi/tom, CalmAin C • I. 1.• n AN, is arrived at Liverpool. from Savann•b, from whence she saileJ on the £sth December, sr.l give, an account that an American ship had rived at Charleston, from Buenos Ayres, where she had been embargoed, but, by slipping her cables. a gale of wind, got away, aocl say, that Buenos Ayres was re-captured by the Spaniards while s* was there. This intell;rnce was received yvtw- day at LLOYD'S, in letters from Liverpool. It ap pears much more deserving of notice than the re port to the same eget% mentioned in the last set of New York Papers; but is at the same time liable to objection. It does not give the date of the al leged re-capture, nor the period at which the vessel that had arrived at Charleston, left the Rio de la Plata, nor even the name of the ves sel. In other respeCts the story is plausibleensugh. The circumstance of an embargo having been put upon all the vessels there, while it accounts in some measure for our having been so long without Ac counts from that quarter, shows, at the same time, the policy of the enemy; for, by preventing the news from transpiring directly from that port, and by keeping the British colours flying, they might with some reason expect that some British vessels, ignorant ca the circumstance, would probably fall into the snare, and come in without any suspicion. We must, however, receive something more au thentic upon the subject, before we give our assent to the report of the re-capture of this valuable co lony.—ln the debate of Wegnesday, in the House of Commons, Viscount CAITI.CRC•OR took an op- ' portnnity of repeating the backnied charge of ne glea,in not sending out reinforcements sooner ; which was victoriously answered by Mr. Wartouau. The ant intelligence or intimation ores' eapedition l av• ing sailed from the Cape, appears to have been re ceived on the *4th June ; of its ultimate result, Go vernment could have no idea. Dzfeat was jest as probable as success; and is the nature and extent of the reit.foraernants to be sent out, Government mast have had both events in contemplation. It would have been a weak and short-sighted policy to rend out a d-et merely able to carry out troops, and land them at Buenos Ayres. Transports most be pro. tided and furnished with stores, not mtiely to carry the troops out, but to carry th-m bark ia case on their arrival they should and that tire eir i se;:itim hsd failed, or the colony htd been recaptured Had, however, reinforcements been wit out on the ith June, the very day til.r intimation of the enterprize reached this country, they would not have answered the purpose. T h e voyage cm . .. 1 not be possibly completed in less than between two and three months, and they consequently mtrit arrive too late to prevent the alleged capture on the 12th of August.
