GOTTEN BURG 1Y MAIL. STRAMIND, MAY 2g.—The battles of the 19th, tOth, 21st, and 22d, cost many men both to the Allies and to the French, hut onquestionably the latter suffered in the proportion of two to one. The Russian left wing was never swaged ; and the Emperor Alexander, in a letter written with his own hand to the Crown Prince, says, ". I did not wish to expose all the troops, in order, under all circumstances, to be able to make head against the enemy, and that too successfully." 'l'ho retreat was made by L,uhau : on the 24th, the head-quarters were in Goldberg; the troops were full of confidence and courage. It is said that negociations are now on the tapis with Denmark, with great prospect of their being successful. Thee have been new orders from Berlin f6r goods. It is supposed, should affairs go on well with Den mark, that the Crown Prime, with'part of his army, will proceed to Berlin. T.ie Guards are at Greifswald., F.Lstratta, MAY 21.—Report says, that our Mi nister Rosenkrantz wishes to resign, and Wakeio 'torn; it is supposed, will be bis successor. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.• BOOS?.

LONDON: THURSDIT, JUNE 10, 1813. In a Supplement to the London Gazelle of Tues day last, ore given the Dispatches of Lieutenant-Ge neral Sir C. STIWA RI., of the different dates of May 19th, YOth, and 2ith, from Wurtzen and Goldberg, in Silesia. These details of the operations of our Allies are uncommonly clear, and being more profes sion:ly methodical than others we have been ac rustomed to, ere more satisfactory to the Reader.— From these accounts we can derive a reason why Bus P tRTE has not a':vanced with his usual celerity in this campaign. The circumstance of having two. thirds of his army composed of recruits, together with an intrepidity and experience he has met with in his opponents, accounts for it. He finds this the most arduous campaign he has ever undertaken in person. He has experienced in WITTGENSTEIN a Competitor, in %erne r, , spects resembling the old German MEE.AS, and De WITTGENSTEIN has been uncommonly well sa:tained by MII.IRADOVITCH. Both of these Generals have found the united troops they serve with, do every thing which courage can arlfirvf , . The incipient misunderstanding also, which appeared ready to break out after the battle of Lutzen, is neither talked of nor thought ol: every a tince that appears to exhibit a zeal jn the two o rival each other in hardihood. Sir CHARLES RT'S dispatches from Wurtzen, of the %Oth, us of a very signal advantage gained by Ge. BA ACLA Y DE TOLLY,DIULD'.IageK 4,YAL * Ctn. t.r()lc, before he could be reinforced by MG corps. The French, it seems, were driven . all points, losing 1500 in prisoners, a Ge t Div&ron, and eleven pieces of cannon. 7— is worthy of observation, that the Knight les . the outline of a picture wills a Ing ham], almost equal to that' 4f ; the first Grecian poet:!, in verse, which necessa f an especial degree keeps the eye engaged finishing hand is put "to- it: He says, " I ,sed two 'very gallant charges of Russian light as well as extreme good conduct through,. troops engaged.

Ile concludes —‘ 4 The vere affairs of this day, reflect the highest honour on Generals tlmananovtutt and KLEIST, and the brave troops under their command." The next morning, viz. the '2lst of May, at day break, the French Army, commanded by BONA PXRTP, attacked Count WITTGENSTEIN'S position in advance of Wurtzen, and, it appears, he bad as sembled oil his forces for this effort; in assurance, no doubt, if successful, of bringing his antagonists to ask for an'Arnilitice, nod thereby ha enabled.: for Ithe fourth time, to dictate the terms of a Peace.—,, The Allies took up the ground trodden by the peat 'Count DAusq at the battle and victory of Hoch. kirch. The theatre of contest appears propitious to, the Allies, one of their flanks uncommonly well sue i tained (appuicd), the ground in the centre favourable for cavalry, and several of the intervening parts of the plain fortified by batteries, Ileches, &c. the extent of the whole line between three and four English miles. Bomarann's determination was first to press upon the flanks, very natural in a Commander who was conscious of his inferiority in cavalry, but the Allies were not unprepared for this species of onset.— The cootest in the mountains gradually uitmed, which BONAPARTE, supported by a powerful line of artillery, a happy succedaneum for his want of a proportionate cavalry. We may judge of the ardour and anxiety of the French Emperoi in this affair from Sir Cnarmts's obsert ation, that" BONAPARTE was now visible on a commanding spot, directing the-battle."' He deployed in front of. Bautzen his guards, cavalry, and lancers, and showed heavy co lumns olinfantry on the esplanade before it ; in short, he appears to have. employed every class of force with which an army..is composed, as if all ought to be hazarded in. an exploit in which fortune has tutored and flattered him to believe, could not full him while he took part in it. Buicitett's corps, though well provided with cavalry, was the first which confessed 'its attempt to dislodge the enemy from his strong position had failed. BA.ROLAY DE ToLLy was attacked by a superior force under Mar shal NEY and General LADRISTON, and forced to abandon the villages of Klutz and Cannervitz ; and even General BLUCHER, endeavouring to support him, and turn the enemy, met with a most sangui nary assault, although the behaviour of the Prus-* sians is said to exceed all praise. In short, the su periority of the numbers with the enemy, is acknow ledged to have triumphed over the heroism of the Allies. After making a few judicious remarks, which naturally occur to a well schooled soldier, our ambassador reluctantly and painfully observes-:--" It was only from considerations of such a nature as I have above detailed, that the Allies were induced to change (heir position at five o'clock in the evening, having from day-break admirably contested every part of the field of battle." He calls the narrative a faithful account of what he personally witnessed ; nor do we see any reason to doubt of his ac curacy, except in the article of disparity of numbers: 'that we confess we could not suppose to have been so .great. He subjoins, 46 From the most authentic in formation I can procure, the force of the Allies did net exceed 65,000 men ; that of the enemy I estimate at least at 120,000."—The loss on both sides he af firms to be great—" the enemy's tremendous," though he is unable to state the numbers with any accuracy. We have been the more particular in oar analysis of this famous battle, it !win communicated to us in a intelligible a style, evincing as it does the pen iectiOittw ~. ~. In the last acconatf from Paris, villich contain in telligence received by the EMPRESS of the state of the armies at the date 29th May, it is'asserted that Gen. WITTGENSTEIN has -resigned his command into the Lands of 13AncLAY DE ToEvE ; an unfavourable omen, in our opinion, and reminds us of the fate of SuwAnnow. The French army finds in Silesia the greatest abundance of every thing. That pro= since is described as a continued garden : but the most important part pf •these papers is that, which announces the arrival of an Aid-tie. Camp of the Em peror of 11.3.1,0, accompanied by the Prussian Gene ral, KirisT, at the advanced post of the enemy, where the Duke of VicENzE went to meet them, With a flag of truce; the iuterview being believed to relate to the negociation of an armistice.

HERBERT, which left this port (Columbo) on the 29th of December, grounded, at about eleven o'clock 'on the night of the 11st instant, on the rocks off Dondra Head, within a hundred yards of the shore. The wind being exceed ' ingly light, and a fine star-light night, the ladies and I all the passengers were safely landed, and an express having been sent off to Mature', notifying the misfor -1 tune which had happened, the Civil and Military Officers immediately set off for the spot to render every assistance in their power.—Before day-light the ; vessel had three feet water on her orlop deck, and i was become a perfect wreck, lying on her beam-ends ; every soul on board had, in the mean time, been landed 9 with the principal part of the passengers' baggage, and some of the cargo. On the 3d she re mained in the same situation, and hopei were enter tained that more of the property might be s ave d be e fore the ship should go to pieces. The Northampton, which sailed from Portsmouth in company with the I Euphrates, arrived here in the offing last night— ( Ceylon Gazette, Jan. 5, 1813.) The Spanish and Portuguese Papers which have lately been received, abound in errors and rnis-state ments, particularly respecting tile amount of the al lied force in the Peninsula, and the time of opening the campaign. The amount of the allied force is considerably exaggerated. The British troops do not exceed, at the utmost, 41,000 infantry and ca valry, with perhaps 3000 artillery, to which max be added 26,000 Portuguese, in all 70,000 men; the Spdfilrelt tee karcely . paign, according to these papers, has already'been' opened ; but that is not the case—nor will it open ef fectually before the second week of the present month —nor will it then commence under very promising auspices. The troops continue to be in arrears of pay ; they have not been paid since the 24th Decenii ber, 1812 ; nor have the staff allowances been Made good since the month of October of the same zear.— These are circumstances, which cannot add much to the alacrity of the men, nor the comfort of the. Offi cers. Besides, the Spaniards in general are very far from being satisfied with our exertions • and the .British, _perhaps, are no where more cordially hated than at Cadiz. Here,' then, there is another Wind; refractory nation, who will not be convinced that the British Cabinet exceeds every other in the wisdom of its plans, and the vigour of. their execution. • Few expression. are snore apparently indigenous than the vulgar one of "such a person is gone to pot," i.e. is dead. Yet it was imported to us from the extre mity of the globe, the metropolis of Tartnry. 'are told that a tailor of Samarcand, who lived near the gate which led to the burial ground, whenever a corpse was carried by, threw a little stone into an earthen pot, fixed th his cupboard, to calculate the number of deaths in a certain space of time. At length the tailor died himself, and • s passenger observing his, shop to be glint up, enquired of a neighbour concern ing him, and was answered, ” the tailor is gone to pot as well as the rest." -W 71111 It OP raz•S TATES h lfi o rl as l::. rn. . — party of persons w Borough, to read your Evening compose it motley groupe, some tfidence in ail they read and lassian victories and pa. ;bile others, being rather scepti itertain strong doubts of the au. accounts.

Sir, be pleased! to clear by our doubts, and explain, if you can, why the cavalry were not there, when, for days, aye for nearly a month, the Allies were in expectation of a blow being struck somewhere, near where all this happened. You will greatly• oblige us by a few 1 words of exposition, as really i am afraid we shall all be of one mind, and place as much reliance on fa ture dispatches as they deserve, and eventually break up our disputingclub. Judging of the Cossacks by the Do zs QtnXoTE sample which the weak part of the com munity io eagerly caught at,we were led to suppose that not the least doubt could remain of the success of an other campaign ; but that strange fellow s BONAPARTE, has not even condescended to notice them-.-they came inn cloud and vanished in smoke. Is it, Sir, that be is willing we should exclusively enjoy thepleasure of indulging ourselves in these ideal consequences, or that they are intended to form the forlorn hope of the Liberator of Nations on the banks of the Dwina ?

Hostilities having ceased proved very beneficial, as the troops were suffering very severely from fever. A hydraulic engine has lately been invented for the gaol of Roscommon, which conveys the water by the easy work of two men, at the rate of a thousand gallons an hour, one hundred feet perpendicular, to the reservoir on the platform, whence it is distributed to the several corridors, for the accommodation of the prisoners. There are besides distinct communica tions from the main tube, for supplying the bath, cleansing the different yards, sewers, and ether nui sances ; and the machine is so contrived as to act, itt cases of fire, in any part of the town. Such is the mechanic power of this engine, that, by a very sim. ple movement, it may be made obedient, on any ex. traordinary emergency, to the slight effort of a single individual. ~-• ' 'rut'.
