Catholic Army and Navy Service Bill was furth►r postponed, last night, in the House of Commons, on the motion of Viscount Howicx. from Tuesday to Thursday next. We understand t!..at there is an ohjenion to tills measure, in a cer. I.it. high quarter, independent of any opposition % .;i,h it may experience in the House of Lords. The Duke of PoaTi.4t42, it is said, has taken an alive part. His Grace sat up until past two L'clo:k, yesterday morning, writing letters to His 1k1.4•4! tr, the Duke of Motu( ROSE, Lord HAWK CS at as, Viscount Castrissesorr, and several other ltrltrnbers of both houses. The na‘i4ation of the t•.lbe, the Ems, and the 'Wryer, bent entirely under the controul (.1 the French, our Government have resolved to blockade these rivers. An Order to that died is expeeted to appear in this night's Gaz,r,e. Dispatches have beep received by Government, dated the 4th inst. frown hlr.Tisoan ton, the British Minister at Holateit• _ Two Gottentargh mails arrived, yesterday. with letters and r apers to a late date. The Stockholm Post states, that BONA PASTE'S plan, if successful at Eylan, r ust have J the campaign, as he would rave cut the Rus,ian Army completely in twn. r id been enaLle.l to defeat it in detail. In the bade of Lylan, Blrsi.te A wet.. renewed the attack, ar d tsar I CpUlSt:d eight several times. Some tat ther extra.% from the French and Dutch Papers, recci'icd Yesterday. are given in our last Page. They relate chiefly to the operations in tl e Tutkith provinces, but the inteihrence is very un satisfsellory. The Austii.n Army is ready to take the fella, bat there is nothing in these pipets to in duce a hope that it will Ja Lo. Their PRUSSI AN MAJetrass, with their whole Court, are at Memel. Central WIIITLLOCILIVS I.xpedition passed Fal mouth on Tuesday, with a fAsr wind. The Lik,., SMITH, arrived at tinll, on Wed nesday mowing. from Tonningen. which place she !vltcn the sth instant. states, thaton the preceding slay, at a merchant's house. he heard a letter read, dated Kuningiburg, Feb. eti, it, which it was stied that the Rtistians had con - tp:etcly deleated the French, with the loss or . .:(1,000 to 30,C00 men, and dri.ei tbrde across the Pl , lllll* A letter had also n for hi4ic jme , re on o the loroe iered been rteeived at Tonningen, from Frankfort, but the date of which he did net hear, in which it w.ts announced, that the A thtrians bad declared against the French. A merchant trom Flainborgit, who had lett that place oa the first, sated, that at that date, only Mkt French troops were Icit in Ilam burgh, and that the Burgher guard had been re sumed ; the French had enfant d a conscription of one in six, of the youth at 1 iamburgh, from 1 6 Li a certain age, unless they could redeem them- and Is cf.. y of T for And barer- Thai selves by a Sae proportioned to their situation in life ; and 600 of them, this Gentleman raid, h:td been marched off to the army. Captain SMITH has brought no Dani,h Papers. The Charlee r lirmed ship, arrived at Crimshy on the evening.dr the 10th inst. from Hehgoland, tc ports, dui on the 17th but, a sharp engagement took place at Eylau, between the Russians under the ce.mmand of General BENato:,eti, and the French under the command of Marshals BERNADOTTE * Nev, and Souir, in which the latter were defeated with considerable loss. We find, from the Bul letins of the Grand Army, that the French head quarters had been removed, between the 17th and 18th, from Eylau to Landsherg, and this retreat may have been the result of a defeat. There is also a passage in the fiOth Bulletin, which leads us to think that the Russians have obtained some suc cess subsequent to the &h. It is stated that a corps of 1000 Cossacks had released 3000 Russian pri soners. The report brought by the Charles, we think, however, alludes to the great battle of the Bth, at Eylau. Yesterday. Viscount HOWICK and Lord GRAN. ♦tt.L.E had audiences of His fdarcsirv. Yesterday, was issued from the Army Pay-Office, Whitehall, 183 days pay to the garrisons of Great Britain, to JIM! the 2Gth,1806 The llon.Mr. Par sPOINT, and Mr. Exswoorsi, the 47essenger, arrived, yesterday, at the Fi;reign Office, but they bring no intelligence of a later date than. that brought by Mr. %/sick, who arrived on Sunday last. Sir /lout Polio m's name was called over last night, in the House of Commons, as one of the de faulters, for non-attend:nice. On Tuesday be will ',tend in his place, to make his excuse, which has already excited a good de•al of ex peetation. l'he Swiss are threatened witn the dissolution of the alliance between them and N ante. if they do not raise 16,000 men for the service of the latter. The siege of Stralsund is likely to be a very te dious operation. *l' , e Neptune, M.Kr mai e, from Jamaica, is arrived at Liverpool. St e sailed on the 13th of January, in company with the Packet, for Engitsnd, and parte..l ten days atter. The yiasio, THPMSON, Master, which has arrived in the River from Memel, has brought a copy of the public notification of 'he battle of Eylau, which was passed in that tnsin, announcing the result to the public. Ti e following is a translation:— PR4)CLA‘IATION. " The Governor aa' Chamber of Magistracy have to con . frigate their Yellowtaiseris, that Official Accounts have this day been ir-,etved, that after repeated battles, from the 3d to the 9th, the Coo Mord Armies of Ri.ssia and P. us.ia had obtAined a complete Vict.ny over the French. The result of the victory had I.eri, twenty Eagles ; fourteen of whi,..11 had beets awarded to General lienwßseu and the Rtinian Army : the remaining six had been ',resented to His Majesty the Knit of Prussia. frencli had lost twenty thousand men, w h.. w.re dead on the 6-Id of battle. " The cant' st had heel , no obstinately maintained on both side., that both Prwrich and R.lStiltg hats refused to accept of any quarter from each other. A batty of 1,300 French, who had been cut off during the battle of the 7th, had been sue rounded on the Bth by the whole of the Russian Army...they refusul to lay down their arms or accept of quarter; bu Ge nerel Benitigsen, after a sharp attack, made than sensible of their Randers resistance, and ruinous deiv,,e-ation, and in clined them to surrender at di , cretion. Thew ale the only prisoners taken. The Russians remained encamped nn the field of battle, on the 10th ; the Fre. ,li had retreated two I ,, agues. General Rennigsen expelled a strong reinforcement of Cossacks, and the jiinCinn of the Silesian Levy ; when, it is supposed, that he will pt.isue his vißoe,. • " " By Older of the Chagebtr of Magistracy. " If. K LOPSTOCK." The above notification accounts for the dreadful slaughter on the Bth. It appears, not that neither army would give, but that both refused to take quarter. The Porte having demanded of the English Am bassador, what part his Court would take in case of a rupture between the Purte and Russia, the Minister answered, that F.nglaud would remain neutral, provided the Porte did nut form any con nection to aEI in concert with Prance. The Lady Charloth., for Stockton, and two other brigs, are on shore in the )lumber; a brig sunk going tip the Humber; and a sloop, laden with corn, has foundered on that coast. The ifsphoicm, Cu %MHOS. and the LeittS Pec/a, frnm Newcasile, are lost on the coast ot Lin colnshire. The John, Lir:coos, for Boston, is on shote in the Clyde. Letters have been received from a person of con sideration at St. Petersburgh, which contain some further particulars of the battle of Eylau than have yet been published in this country.—Bon *PARTS.% Guards, it is known, were amongst the troops that attacked the centre of the Russians. They went into battle about 1200 along, and only one Officer And thirteen men remained after the aiflion. The French Reserve was ordered to advance to the attack of the Russian centre: they refused, and were or dered to be fired upon by one of the French divi sirns. They returned the fire, and several ware killed on both sides. A vessel arrived from Holland, on Wednesday, which sailed from the Tesel on Saturday last. On the following day she tell in with the Creaser gun-hrig, standing off and on, watching two Dutch frigates, which had just left the Texel, supposed to be part of a squadron bound for Batavia. Hopes are enter tained that some of our cruisers will tall in with them. The four men belonging to the smuggling lugger, wls:ch lately fired at a Custom House boat, were brought out of Dover Gaol, on Wednesday evening, in irons, and put into two post coaches, with the Gaoler, and four constables, for conveyance, it was supposed, to Newgate. They were escorted by a guard of twenty light horsemen. So clearly is it already perceived, that the greatest interest of the present State Lottery Scheme at taches to the four first days' drawing, that adven- turers seem determined not to risk, by delaying their purchases, a rise on Tickets and Shares. In truth, so brisk a sale is already experienced, that the event al a rise may very speedily be expected.
